Hou Zhitan was coming soon and there were only three days in total, and he actually went to the Ming Dynasty to make a round trip!

This is basically impossible. Even if there are ships in the Ming Dynasty, even if there are trains in the Ming Dynasty, he would not be able to run from the border of the Ishimiya Kingdom to the capital of Daming so quickly, and then run back. You should know that there are no trains in the Japan, and the Ming Dynasty's ships cannot be driven exclusively for him alone. In three days, it would be great that he could get back and forth from Hirado Castle.

In fact, he just went to Hirado Castle to make a round trip.

However, Maori Yuan didn't have the time to think about this because he really couldn't hold on anymore. He had more than 30,000 troops. During the war, he could consume at least tens of thousands of taels a day, so he could no longer bear it.

If Hou Zhitan had to fight back and forth for half a month or even a month, he would probably be finished!

Fortunately, Hou Zhitan only went for three days, and he was glad that he was too late, so how could he doubt whether Hou Zhitan had returned to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to ask for the so-called head of the Ming Dynasty Minister of Works.

This time he treated Hou Zhitan as his ancestor. Not only did he run away to welcome Hou Zhitan and his party, he also nodded and bowed all the way, smiling like a grandson.

There was no way, now he was counting on Hou Zhitan. He really didn't know what to do if Hou Zhitan didn't help.

After finally bringing Hou Zhitan into the commander's tent, he couldn't wait to ask: "How about it, Lord Hou, what do you say about your family leader? This iron cannon?"

Hou Zhitan smiled slightly, and then said calmly: "Our family leader said that the iron cannon can be used for you first, and I have brought two hundred iron cannons to Hirado Castle."

"Really!" Maori Moto almost jumped up excitedly when he heard this.

Now, as long as two hundred iron cannons are sent over, it is not a problem to take down Shi Jianguo. As long as he takes down Shi Jianguo, he will have money and his grand career is just around the corner!

Seeing that Mao Riyuan was like this, Hou Zhitan couldn't help but smile in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be serious: "God of General, you should know the value of these iron cannons. You should also understand that it is impossible for our master to give you this batch of iron cannons for nothing."

Maori Yuan nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, understand, don't worry, as long as I take the Shi Jianguo, I will definitely repay the payment for this batch of goods twice. Two hundred iron cannons, even if it is 200,000 taels, I will give you 400,000 taels at that time. What do you think?"

You think beautifully!

Hou Zhitan shook his head mysteriously and smiled: "God of General, our head of the family said that he doesn't want money."

ah!

Don't have money?

Maori Mori couldn't help but be stunned and said, "I really don't want money?"

Hou Zhitan still smiled mysteriously and said, "I really don't want money."

So what do you want?

Mao Riyuan would not naively think that the Minister of Works of the Ming Dynasty would give him two hundred iron cannons for free, which was simply impossible. Hou Zhitangang also said that it would be impossible for their heads to give him these iron cannons for free.

He was stunned for a moment, then he carefully tentatively said: "What does your head want?"

Hou Zhitan said calmly: "You should also know that our master is in charge of the Ministry of Works, and the smelting technology of our Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Works is unparalleled in the world. Our master's request is very simple. After you take down Shi Jianguo, you can just hand over the silver mine of Shi Jianguo to our Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Works for mining and smelting."

ah!

What a joke?

Why did I come to attack Shimiyaku's country at all costs? Isn't it just for the silver mine of Shimiyaku's country?

Now you actually told me that after taking the Shi Jianguo, you will hand over the silver mine to you for mining and smelting?

Baga!

You guys are too much.

Morimoto suppressed his anger and said tactfully: "This, no need. Ishimiya Kingdom is the territory of our Ouchi clan. For more than a hundred years, our Ouchi clan has been mining and smelting here. No one in Japan can compare with our Ouchi clan, so there is no need to worry about this matter."

If you don’t help, you have to help!

Hou Zhitan shook his head slightly and said, "You can't say that. You don't know how advanced our Ming smelting technology is. As for your Japan, the smelting technology is really not good. Do you know that the silver you smelting will be re-furnished after we ship it back. The fire consumption is at least 10%, which is simply scary. Therefore, when you use the silver you produce to buy our Ming dynasty goods, the price is a bit high. This is not because our Ming dynasty vendors start the price, but because the quality of the silver you refine is too low. Isn't this for your own good? If the silver you refine meets the requirements of our Ming Dynasty, you can buy goods from the Ming Dynasty much cheaper, right?"

Baga, what skills are not good? Tell me about the skills. If you don’t want the money we have refined, why don’t you?

You are all nonsense. After all, it’s just to steal my silver mine!

If I hadn't asked you for your request now, I would have killed you by believing it or not.

Maorimoto took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and then continued to tactfully say: "This problem is actually not difficult to solve. Isn't your head of the family the Minister of Works of the Ming Dynasty? As long as he sends a few people to guide us, can we refine this silver?"

guide?

I'm guiding!

Is that right? You insist on making me turn against you, right?

Hou Zhitan said seriously: "Your Excellency General, I will not hide it from it. This stone shows that the mining and smelting of silver mines is very important to our Lord, because our Lord wants to use this achievement to be promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet."

It’s all my business that your head wants to be promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. I’m still counting on this stone silver mine to fight for the world.

Morimoto said tactfully: "This, if your head of the family needs merit, I can find a way. Otherwise, after I defeat the country, I will help you grab a piece of territory like Hirado family. What do you think? This is expanding territory, and the achievements are great enough?"

Who are you fooling about?

Once you have control over the Shijian Silver Mine, you are afraid that you will fly to the sky and kick us at that time. Will you be kind enough to help us fight the territory?

Hou Zhitan shook his head straightforwardly and said, "No, our head is quite impatient. He really doesn't want to miss this rare opportunity."

Baga, your head is so anxious, I'm just anxious.

Maori Yuan really wanted to kill people, but considering the current situation, he still held back.

There is no way, if someone refuses to help, he will be done.

This guy's meaning is already very obvious. If he didn't hand over the mining and smelting rights of Shijian Silver Mine to them, he wouldn't think about this iron cannon!

What to do?

Morimoto frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally compromised helplessly: "It's not impossible to hand over the silver mine to you to mine and smelte. However, how do you calculate the silver produced? Or how much hard work do you want?"

That's right. What you guy is doing is so squeamish that he has to bow his head in the end.

Hou Zhitan asked back without answering, "This is really not easy to calculate, why not do that, General, you think that the amount of silver that this stone mine can produce in a year will give you as much money as the silver mine can. As for the hard work, we will find a way to do it ourselves. What do you think?"

This means to drive people to mine desperately!
