Volume Four, Chapter 179, The Second Money-making Treaty

How much silver can the Shijian Silver Mine produce in a year?

Maori Yuan is really not clear about this, because the silver mine has always been directly managed by the Ouchi family, and no one else can think of it.

However, he had heard a lot of rumors. According to various rumors, the silver production of Shijian Silver Mine is about 500,000 taels a month, and about 6 million taels a year.

His expectation is actually only so much, six million taels a year is enough. After all, Maori's family business was only a few hundred thousand taels in total, and million taels a year was already an astronomical figure for him.

As for how much profit the Minister of Works of the Ming Dynasty wanted to make from it, it didn't seem to have much to do with him. As long as he could reach the expected six million yuan in a year, no matter how much the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works would earn.

Besides, even if he wants to, he can't control it. The iron cannon in his hand is the key to his life and death. How dare he offend him?

Thinking of this, he simply gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Hou, you should have heard of it. Shijian Silver Mine, the silver production per year is at least 6 million taels, and I don't want much. You can give me six million taels a year."

Of course, Hou Zhitan had heard of this output, and Yang Cong even analyzed it specifically with him. According to Yang Cong's analysis, the annual silver output of Shijian Silver Mine is about 600 to 10 million taels, and after the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Industry took over, it is not impossible to double the silver output!

In other words, as long as the gross profit yuan is not too greedy, it is acceptable for 6 million taels or even eight million taels in a year.

So, when he heard that the gross profit was only 6 million taels, Hou Zhitan nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, 6 million taels are 6 million taels. As long as you sign a contract with us, we will send you two hundred cannons immediately, and also give you 20,000 shells and sufficient gunpowder. We can even send a certain number of musketeers to help you attack the city."

When Morimoto heard this, he couldn't help but tremble excitedly, no matter how he was the "No. wise general of the Warring States Period" or the "No. 1 God of War in the West", at this moment, he could not control his mood. You must know whether there are these two hundred iron cannons that are a world apart.

Without these two hundred iron cannons, no matter how unwilling he would have to withdraw his troops. Without the profits of Shijian Silver Mine, he would not be able to support so many people. After withdrawing, he could only reduce his subordinates to 10,000, or even about four or five thousand.

He would definitely not give up on his provocation to the Nizi family like this. At that time, when the Nizi family comes, will other wealthy families of the One clan help?

No need to think, those guys will definitely hide and watch the show!

The Nizi family is a powerful existence than the entire Danei family. How can he, a local wealthy family in the Danei family, compete with others? No matter how he has a lot of wisdom and tricks, he may be unable to escape the fate of destruction in the end.

However, it is different with these two hundred iron cannons.

At this moment, Nizi didn't take his troops seriously. It would be good if he could mobilize 40,000 troops to deal with his more than 30,000 troops. I guess he was not prepared to support Nizi in the future. In other words, as long as he accidentally defeated the 40,000 troops in Chushicheng, Shi Jianguo would be at his fingertips!

Is it difficult to defeat these 40,000 troops?

With three hundred iron cannons and the support of the Ming Musketeers, he believed that this was not difficult.

So Maori Yuan easily signed a contract with Hou Zhitan.

As for whether Maori Yuan would regret it, Hou Zhitan was not worried at all, and Yang Cong would not be worried even more.

The binding force of a contract has always been proportional to the strength of both parties. As long as you are stronger than others, you don’t have to worry about others breaking the contract.

Yang Cong even had a little hope that Maori Yuan would violate the contract. If Maori Yuan really dared to violate the contract, he could send troops to occupy Ishimiya Kingdom with justification. At that time, let alone silver, he would not even give someone a Mao!

The second money-making treaty in the history of the Ming Dynasty was signed like this. The profits brought by this treaty were even far greater than those signed with the Tatars, because the treaty signed with the Tatars was just a loss of 10,000 war horses a year, and the Ming Dynasty could earn hundreds of thousands of taels if it was to die. However, the Japanese treaty was not a problem to earn millions of taels a year.

As for how much money you can earn in a year, it is hard to say now, because Yang Cong had never visited the Shijian Silver Mine in person, and everything would have to be known after Maori Yuan took over Shijianguo.

This time, Yang Cong also invested a lot of money. In order to "help" Maori Yuan, he took the Isan Kingdom as soon as possible. He even sent troops for free. After the contract was signed, he sent 10,000 elite Ming troops and led two hundred iron cannons to the bottom of Chushi City.

Of course, there are more than two hundred cannons brought by these 10,000 horses.

Two hundred iron cannons were used for Maori Yuan. The 10,000 elite Ming army soldiers now have one thousand medium cannons, which are new continuous cannons with more than two hundred kilograms.

At this moment, even though Mao Riyuan really saw the firepower of the Ming army, he didn't even make much effort. He took the 40,000 Nizi army and urinated.

There was no way, the Ming army's firepower was too fierce. One thousand medium-sized artillery fired at the same time. That guy couldn't stand the city wall. More than a dozen rounds of artillery bombarded continuously, and some arrow bushings were even cut off. In addition, the Ming army's musketeers continued to attack, and the defenders on the city wall even lost their courage to probe the head, because once they probed, they would be beaten into a sieve!

This guy, not to mention the Nizi general in the city, even he was stunned. If the Ming general hadn't reminded him to order someone to rush forward, he would have even forgotten that he was sieging the city.

Until Fushishi City was taken down, he still felt like he was in a dream.

Who is helping who is attacking the city?

The next thing was simple. With the lesson of Fushishi City, the Nizi army was frightened. As soon as they saw the elite Ming army and the Maori coalition rushing over, they ran away without even fighting. Soon, the Maori coalition or the elite army of the Shimiya took down the entire Ishimi Kingdom.

The result was far beyond Maori Yuanji's expectations. He originally thought that even if there were 300 artillery pieces, it would take at least several months to win the country, and his men would suffer at least tens of thousands of casualties.

Then I thought that in less than half a month, the entire Shi Jianguo was taken down, and the casualties of his men were less than a thousand.

He felt that he was following the Ming army to get a bargain. Under that fierce firepower, even he could only escape desperately!

This time, the Ming army's firepower also shocked him. He couldn't even think about these things, such as tying back or breaking the contract.

Just kidding, offend others, and they will make you doubt your life every minute.
