Chapter 340
As for what to do about real gold and silver after hollowing out the island nation's gold and silver mountains?
Well, the island nation's gold and silver can at least support it for a few years,
by which time Zhang Jie's prestige and the Great Gan's credit will have been established,
and he can begin to gradually promote paper currency and reduce dependence on precious metals.
If that doesn't work, one can also develop other gold and silver mines!
Zhang Jie thinks that San Francisco in North America, the new gold mountain Melbourne in Australia—that big prison disguised as a country—
and the Mexican big silver mine that allowed a certain Spain to become the first empire on which the sun never sets with a land area smaller than Great Britain,
and made the Invincible Armada truly invincible in the 16th century, are particularly appealing!
In short, being short of money is impossible; it is impossible to be short of money and live a tight life in this life,
one can only barely manage to develop a living for the original owners of these mineral veins.
And the best part is that whether it is Iwami Ginzan or the Sado Gold Mine, they have not yet been discovered, and the places where they are located are completely desolate wildernesses where birds don't lay eggs.
When our Great Gan's heavenly troops arrive, they must have a station, right?
And our Great Gan's heavenly troops, under the guidance of the Emperor who loves the people like his own children, naturally will not rob people's houses,
and will not even station in the city, but will "casually" choose a few pieces of wasteland.
The noble quality of our Great Gan's heavenly troops not taking a single needle or thread from the Wonu Kingdom's people is evident.
"Wuwu, I am almost moved to tears by my own noble sentiments."
Zhang Jie hypocritically wiped away non-existent tears in his heart.
And if the Wonu Kingdom's Shogunate General does not even allow a few pieces of wasteland,
then don't blame Zhang Jie for starting the "Family-Destroying and Shogunate-Toppling" movement.
"Uh, it seems there is no Shogunate General yet."
Zhang Jie slapped his thigh and instantly discovered the loophole in his thinking.
The current Wonu Kingdom is in the late period of their so-called Heian period,
and has not yet entered the Shogunate era where the samurai class holds power.
Although the highest military commander is also called "Seii Taishogun,"
the actual power is held by the imperial family and court nobles represented by the Emperor.
The Shogunate era will have to wait until Zhao Ji is packed up and taken to Wuguocheng by the savages who ran out of the White Mountains and Black Waters,
and after living a pastoral life, Minamoto no Yoritomo will establish the first samurai regime, the Kamakura Shogunate.
Although Minamoto no Yoritomo was not officially granted the title of "Seii Taishogun" at that time, he had already actually grasped the military power of the Kanto region of the Wonu Kingdom,
and the Shogunate era with the title of "Seii Taishogun" was thus opened.
"Forget it, actually the Tenno, uh, the Emperor is also very good."
Zhang Jie would like to know if the Wonu Kingdom Emperor, who plagiarized Wu Zetian's husband-losing—
losing Li Zhi, the supreme sun and moon in that hellish joke,
the husband-and-wife Emperor and Empress title of the closest and most distant couple—truly has the divinity they advocate.
Amaterasu Omikami?
How many divisions does Amaterasu Omikami have?
He, Zhang Jie, now really has dozens of divisions.
Who can't brag? If whoever can brag is the most powerful,
then the most powerful country in the 21st century should not be the Eagle-Sauce, which still uses thousands of artificial satellites to peep at the world,
and whose upper echelons are all dressed in clothes but have the hearts of beasts, and are cannibals in the physical sense,
but the "Third Brother" on that peninsula looking across the Himalayas.
The bragging, or "Win-ology," of the Third Brothers is no longer small wins or
medium wins; they start with big wins, big wins and big wins.
In the conflict with the "Baba Sheep," they had clearly already lost their underwear,
yet they could still send delegations to various countries to preach the victory of their Great Bharat.
This brain circuit is worthy of being a place that has produced Mahayana Buddhism.
This kind of "winning when advancing, winning when retreating, winning is winning, losing is still winning,"
which can be called "Qin Shi Huang touching electric wires—winning numbly" all-win-ology, Zhang Jie is willing to call it Mahayana Win-ology...
Mentioning the current Eagle-Sauce, Zhang Jie couldn't help but want to complain:
Marx wrote in his book: Capitalism comes into the world on the first day to eat people.
When he was studying at the time, he thought it was capitalists sparing no effort to exploit the surplus value of employees,
and accumulating a huge amount of wealth that ordinary people could not accumulate even if they worked hard for ten lifetimes without eating or drinking,
by devouring the lives of others, achieving high and rapid wealth.
As a result, some exposed documents told him that what Mr. Marx wrote was not an adjective,
but a factual word in the physical sense, which makes people unable to hold back,
Grass (a plant used by 21st-century silly netizens to express approval)!
Back to the main topic, the topic continues to return to the Wonu Kingdom, where the "Little Days" are like Wang Ruan Xiao Er celebrating the New Year—getting worse year by year,
and the scenery is getting worse and worse.
It is just that there is no genetic testing technology yet,
otherwise Zhang Jie would also like to give them a full set of genetic testing from the great-great-great-grandfather,
down to the great-great-great-granddaughter and grandson,
to see if they are really as they have always spared no effort to advocate,
"Passed down from Amaterasu Omikami, a lineage of ten thousand generations."
However, judging from the performance of that Emperor's family in later generations, who have always been secretive about their bloodline
and dare not reveal even half a point, the authenticity of this propaganda slogan is clearly quite suspicious.
After all, the time is too long, a full few thousand years, with twenty years as a generation, that is hundreds,
thousands of generations of people, and the possibility of accidents occurring in this is too great.
Perhaps that generation of Tenno was worn a bright green, forgiveness-colored hat, and was changed species, who knows.
"Your Majesty, if we obtain those two gold and silver mountains, our Great Gan's coinage cause will be accomplished!"
Hearing the information about the Sado Gold Mine and Iwami Ginzan Bai Yin Mine told by Zhang Jie, Wang Lun was invigorated, his tone exceptionally excited.
Although these two gold and silver mountains were only in Zhang Jie's mouth,
whether in the Great Song's classics or the Wonu Kingdom's envoys to the Tang Dynasty,
there was no record or information leaked, but he was still willing to believe Zhang Jie.
After all, what Zhang Jie said and did before was never aimless.
Even in the eyes of these Liang Shan veterans, Zhang Jie not only had all kinds of mysterious intelligence with unclear origins,
but was also exceptionally accurate, and even reached the point of being able to foresee the future, which was simply awe-inspiring and terrifying.
But precisely because of this, they were able to change from mere Liang Shan bandits into the Great Gan that swept the world and established a new dynasty.
However, Wang Lun was humble; in his view, if Liang Shan had not had Zhang Jie as the pillar in the past,
the development would have reached the status of a Shandong green forest leader at most; to put it bluntly, it would still be mountain bandits and water pirates.
Ceding the position of Liang Shan leader to Zhang Jie was truly the most worthwhile decision he made in his life.
