In the first year of Yunzhong, at the end of December, Yunzhong Island and gold mine.

The military camp was everywhere, and soldiers led by the elite soldiers of the Five Poisons were deployed layer by layer, surrounding the vicinity of the golden vein like an iron barrel.

According to external sayings, Qin Feiyu needs to train a "Dragon and Snake Elite Soldier" and needs to station in the mountains. In fact, training the Dragon and Snake Elite Soldier is just a coincidence. The real purpose is to mine gold mines and block the news as much as possible.

Although Duan Yu had already discovered the location of the golden vein, he was very tolerant and waited until the recruits were trained and accumulated a group of slave goldsmiths in his hands. He even took the opportunity to start a gold mining strategy when he took the opportunity to kill the demon Kun.

This time, Qin Feiyu was guarded by the worker Cao, and Musashi Izumi Shou, was the supervisor. Because he was prepared, everything was orderly.

When Duan Yu came to inspect, he saw a large number of slaves working in the mines, and some obedient ones were assigned to a more relaxed and meticulous job, picking up golden sand in the water.

This method of collecting water and metal has existed since ancient times: "Water and metal are all in the river sand water, and they are used to collect gold."

In addition, the big head is in the mine cave.

The slaves who were used to being in the quarry worked hard to dig out gold-containing ores here, and made them into powder by constantly smashing and pounding.

"......Every time I get a mine, there is no limit to the amount. I pound the mortar into powder, soak it in water, grind it into fine powder, and store it in a wooden barrel. I stir it with bayberry bark several times, the stone powder floats and the gold powder sinks... and it will be eliminated, spread and remove the thicker, and keep the elites."

This is to use the differences in buoyancy of various minerals to select real ore.

Immediately, real ore accumulation is a rich ore of gold, also known as ‘mine meat’.

After that, it was the blacksmiths who were trained to come out and smel the ore with a small charcoal furnace. After the impurities were eliminated twice, they poured them into the mold and turned into gold nuggets and golden cakes.

Needless to say, the process of digging ore and pounding the mortar into powder is very labor-intensive, and it is all done by those slaves.

As for the blacksmith who rushes gold and melts gold, they work easily and are treated very well. They only have to restrict personal freedom and cannot leave the mining area, so slaves are naturally even more so.

The soldiers on the periphery had long received strict orders, and anyone who fled, no matter whether they were blacksmith or slaves, would be killed!

Moreover, this place is originally located in an isolated island, with only Yuncheng in the port. Even if they escape, there is no place to run!

Of course, Duan Yu knew in his heart that the temptation of gold is endless, and the greed of human hearts is also infinite. No matter how perfect the system is, it needs to be implemented by people, and there are flaws in it.

One day, news about the golden veins on Yunzhong Island will leak out, attracting many covetous eyes.

His approach at this time was to try to delay the leakage time so as to mine more gold mines, turn them into their own strength, and deal with challenges from all parties.

"Master, look!"

At this time, Musashi Izumi and Qin Feiyu came together and took the smelted golden cake: "With this gold mine, our vassal will surely usher in huge development!"

"Yes, Musashi Izumitsu, according to your opinion, how much gold can this golden vein collect in a year?"

Duan Yu asked.

"If I expected it well, I would have 30,000 to 40,000 taels a year!" Musashi Izumizuno answered affirmatively.

"In this way, it will be 300,000 taels of silver... enough to support the shogunate purchasing slaves and reclaiming the island of Yunzhong!" Duan Yu laughed.

Yunzhong Island cannot make a living by relying solely on gold mines, reclaiming and farming, and there is always some output.

Not to mention, there are also caravans that are being formed.

According to Duan Yu's vision, this caravan will have mermaids and demon Kun ships in the future, and their safety will be the best in the East China Sea. This alone can make huge profits, and even strongly supports the economy of Yunzhong Island after the gold mine is mined.

Moreover, even the caravan is just a side job.

When Yunzhong Island is fully reclaimed and the infrastructure is completed, the returns generated will be absolutely considerable. Although infrastructure is large-scale investment and slow output, once it starts to make a profit, it will continue to be continuous, with full potential and almost no loss.

‘Even so, with cash, you can still do a lot of things, such as... you can contact slave traders everywhere and let them deliver goods to your door, and come to Yunzhong Island directly!’

'After all, I can't just ask for slaves from Izumo Country, otherwise wouldn't I really become the name of Izumo Country? The population introduction of mainland China, Haisong, and even other places must be lacking...'

On the way back, Duan Yu thought of something a little confused.

Although those slave traders will definitely be happy to transport some slaves to Yunaka Island as long as they have cash, they may not be as large as the supply and supply volume of Izumo Country, and can only be considered a slight dilution.

I immediately decided that the school must focus on promoting mainland language and characters.

Although the body cannot be eliminated, it can be spiritually the same words and the same books.

After several generations, the original origin and bloodline of immigrants will be downplayed and they will become real people in the clouds!

...

In Yunzhong Mansion.

Duan Yu sat upright, while Guo Bairen and the chief clerk of the warehouse, Yang Weiping, stood under the steps: "Report to the Lord, the demon Kun has been processed, and a total of 4,200 stones of meat, 500 bundles of leather, and grease..."

"It's very good, just put it in the warehouse. In addition, the meat of the demon Kun is not only delicious, but also can replenish qi and blood. Remember to replenish Wei Zheng every day... Although it is in winter at this time, you should also pay attention to anti-corrosion. The marinated part is first. As for the others, you can dig an ice warehouse to store it!"

The ice bank is something that can only be enjoyed by a real nobleman. It can store it in winter and use ice in summer. In Qing Kingdom, every family who can receive ice rewards from the royal family in summer are those of Jian Zai Dixin, and it is regarded as a very shameful thing.

Although this project is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is natural that it has a group of serfs who do not have to pay wages.

Moreover, because of the extraordinary power in this world, building an ice warehouse is not as wasteful as other worlds.

These demon Kun meats are treasures, and Duan Yu also pointed to using them to train elite soldiers, so it cannot be wasted.

I have decided in my heart that in addition to the vast majority of the supply of military supplies, the rest is to follow my subordinates to share the benefits.

To train troops, you need to develop at least one foundation before you can go to the battlefield to hone your skills.

How to develop a basic foundation? It is naturally made through various resources, especially in terms of food.

Just looking at Chen Ce, the governor of Yezhou at that time, who only had one hundred Taotie camps under his command, we can tell how terrifying the resources needed in this regard are.

If Duan Yu had not harvested a demon Kun, he would not have dared to attack the elite soldiers.

Even so, I just planned to stop after practicing for 200 yuan. If there were more, I couldn't hold on.

‘The skill of the elite soldiers in my hand is only one five-poison elite soldiers and one dragon and snake elite soldiers. Feiyu is not willing to change his skills, so I will give the dragon and snake elite soldiers to him to command. I can command the five-poison elite soldiers for the time being.’

Although he was very relieved about Qin Feiyu, Duan Yu tried his best to avoid such military power that was centralized by one person and was not the master's hands.

This is also a consideration for the future of good beginning and ending.

After all, their generation may be close, but it is hard to say for future generations.

"The New Year is approaching, and this is the first year that my Yunzhong shogunate commanded Yunzhong Island. I will send orders to a New Year's Eve banquet! The shogun officials all gave five kilograms of demon Kun meat, and each of the chief officials gave fifty kilograms of officials! As for the households under the leadership, ordinary serfs gave ordinary wine and meat, and slaves also gave them a meal. It would be a fat year, not..."

Duan Yu stretched.

"The Lord is kind!"

Guo Bairen quickly bowed and said that he had written it down.

Duan Yuheshou asked the two to retreat, then walked out of the mansion and strolled around Yuncheng.

According to his original plan, this city can accommodate tens of thousands of people. It looks naturally very empty at this time, and there are only a few places that are popular, but it should be much better next year.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the dock dock.

Liu Guangji here is busy. Although the shipbuilding matter has only begun, Duan Yu has already thrown a bunch of tasks to him.

Specifically, it is to first renovate the old ships, which will also provide maintenance for all previous ships.

In fact, it is just repairing and scraping off the seaweed shells parasitic on the bottom of the ship.

In addition, the use of the demon Kun material in hand to transform several ships is just a collision angle or even a ballast.

Anyway, what you have to borrow is just the power of the demon Kun, and this stupid method can also be effective.

But Liu Guangji certainly doesn't want to do this. If it were just like this, how could he show his power as a shipbuilder?

Therefore, I have been thinking hard for a while, hoping to perfectly integrate the bones of the demon Kun with the ship. Specifically, it is to use the least material to spread the aura of the demon Kun all over the boat, causing the effect of retreating from thousands of demons.

‘Although this kind of ship cannot retreat from powerful monsters, or monsters with a human intelligence, with the help of the mermaid clan, you can discover and avoid them in advance, so there are still no problems in rushing into the East China Sea…’

'Now that gold is ready, demon Kun has been removed, and ships are ready, and the originally dangerous sea shackles have become a thoroughfare... Starting next year, the entire island will have to usher in large-scale development, strive to reclaim the entire island within three years and achieve great governance... and then the closure will be officially started!'

Duan Yu thought silently.

He has always cared about rewarding meritorious ministers and has long formulated a three-year plan, which has received the heartfelt support and understanding from his subordinates.

After all, there was only one Yuncheng in Yunzhong Island at this time, and Duan Yu's own mansion could not be enfeoffed.

Now, the only thing that can be obtained is wasteland, but in the future, they will take charge of arable land and the people.

If there is really something that cannot be waited, Duan Yu doesn't mind getting rid of some burdens.

"The three-year plan has passed by a year! In the remaining two years, at least one of the General Secretary of the National Laws has to be tinkered with..."

Duan Yu looked at the sea and thought silently.

These vassals are just ministers, and they can only establish a country unless they receive the title of Duke Bo Hou in the future.

Before this, all exchanges with foreign countries, and even military aspects, must obey the throne, and finally there are also currency languages, etc., and they must be consistent. These will be written together with the feudal system and form a constitutional status.
