Chapter 493: The World's Largest Gold and Silver Mine


At the next stop, Lu Bu led an army of 30,000 sailors and swept through Saga, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Oita and Kagoshima.

As a result, to Lu Bu's disappointment, the total population of so many places was only 50,000 or 60,000.

It turned out that the population distribution of Fuso at this time was extremely uneven, and some places were empty and almost inhabited.

Then Lu Bu took all the men to a place about ninety miles northeast of Kagoshima and ordered everyone to settle down there.

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Lord, don't you transport these people back to Jiangdong, what is the reason for placing people in this wilderness?"

After Lu Bu recovered the entire Fusang, he had to go back, leaving Xizhi to manage here.

After coming to Fusang Island, seeing the appearance of the aborigines of Fusang Island, Xi Zhicai refused in his heart.

Now seeing Lu Bu doing something very strange, of course Xi Zhicai wants to ask.

Lu Bu smiled and said to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, there is a gold mine with very large reserves here, and we are going to get rich."

Don't make a fuss, the gold mine is buried underground, how do you know there is gold here?

It's not a tree or a bird, you can see it at a glance.

But Xi Zhicai even, since the lord has brought people over, it proves that the lord is really sure that there is a gold mine here.

The lord never does things that he is not sure of.

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Lord, how do you know that there is a gold mine here?"

Lu Bu laughed and said: "Because your lord is a god of heaven, a god, of course, he knows everything, he knows everything." ” How do you know, of course, you can find out by checking the information In order to check the detailed location, Lu Bu took a lot of effort.

The Ryogari Mine is now one of the world's leading gold mines, with an average gold ore grade of 40 grams per tonne.

Generally speaking, as long as the grade reaches an average of two grams per tonne, a gold mine is profitable.

It can be seen what a rich gold mine the Ryokari mine is.

The mine has been mined since 1985 and produces 7 to 10 tonnes of gold per year, with a total of 165 tonnes in 23 years.

This figure is more than double the total output of the other two mines in Fuso combined.

And, according to the detection, at least nearly 150 tons of gold can be mined from the Ryokari mine.

However, the Ryokari mine is buried quite deeply, as if it is two or three hundred meters deep.

With these 50,000 or 60,000 Fusang aborigines, I don't know how long it will be dug up.

In the end, Lu Bu could only choose a place with the shallowest depth for mining, the depth of this place was about 100 meters, and the gold content was still good.

To mine gold here, you need to think long-term.

The first is the issue of diet, which must be provided with enough food for these miners.

There is also the issue of mineral mining, but fortunately, Lu Bu specially brought some experts in mining.

Although they did not know if there was gold underground, they could guarantee that if there was gold here, and the depth of the mine was only about 100 meters.

Then he dares to guarantee that at most half a year's effort, he will be able to get out of the mine.

Half a year is a bit long.

But Lu Bu can wait.

The problem of mining in the Lingjiao mine was handed over to Xi Zhicai to deal with.

Just to deal with this problem, they spent more than a month in Kagoshima.

Fortunately, after receiving Lu Bu's letter, Zhou Yu sent another 50,000 sailors over, leaving only 50,000 sailors in Jiangdong.

After Xi Zhicai arranged the issue of mining in the Lingjia mine, he left 2,000 soldiers here to guard it, and the rest of the soldiers continued to move forward.

This time, they entered the mountain pass and advanced in turn.

The news that Lu Bu's army had come to Fusang Island had been frantically passed on.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lu Bu is not prepared to block the news at all.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is so fragile and ridiculous.

The indigenous people of Fuso already know that a group of devils have entered Fuso Island.

This group of devils, all tall and powerful, wearing golden armor, is invulnerable.

Every devil can easily kill them, and even one devil is enough to kill dozens or hundreds of them.

These devils are so terrible that the entire island of Fuso will be buried in the hands of the devil.

Of course, there is another way of saying it.

That is, Fusang came up with a group of messengers, and their leader was the gods descending to earth.

The messengers of the gods came to Fuso Island to save them.

Because they are poor, depraved, morally corrupt, and degraded in human nature, even the gods can no longer stand it.

Only by obeying the gods will there be a way out.

And this kind of statement also has a market on Fuso Island.

Because the Fuso people are very contradictory creatures in their bones.

On the one hand, they have a strong team spirit, they are self-disciplined and strive for improvement, and they look down on the weak.

On the other hand, they are crazy and indulgent, they are morally corrupt, they worship the strong, they are extremely inferior.

These two points will be clearly demonstrated in later generations.

They have waged wars of aggression against many countries in Asia, killing countless innocent people.

In the face of all this, they flatly denied it, they refused to apologize, and they believed that the weak should be oppressed.

On the other hand, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on their Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing many of them.

But they bow down to the United States and are better behaved than their own sons.

This is typical: when you fall in love with his mother, he calls you daddy Therefore, in the face of Lu Bu's group, they thought that they were irresistible at all, they were timid and frightened from their hearts, and then subconsciously prepared to obey.

So, starting from the mountain pass, Lü Bu encountered the indigenous people of Defuso, and there was a situation of polarization.

Either they fight to the death, and the result is undoubtedly that they will be killed and killed.

Either wait for Lu Bu's army to arrive, they will be obedient and obedient, work hard, and do whatever they want.

It didn't take long for the second group of Fuso aborigines to be sent to Koto.

So far, a total of more than 100,000 Fuso aborigines have been sent out.

Then Lu Bu mined Iwami silver in Ota City, Shimane Prefecture.

The Iwami Silver Mine was once one of the world's leading silver deposits, and it took more than 400 years from the beginning of mining to the end of all mining.

In the 17th century, it accounted for one-third of the world's silver production.

However, the mining capacity of this era was very backward.

The ore yield is too low.

In order to get out of the mine as soon as possible, we can only send more manpower.

But with the addition of more people, more people are needed to serve this purpose.

For example, if they need a lot of food, they must have enough people to farm the land to feed the miners.

In the end, Lu Bu decided that the rest of the people would not transport to Jiangdong for the time being, and all of them would mine ore here.

You must know that the ore of Fuso Island is not only gold and silver ore, but also iron sulfide, sulfur, limestone and gypsum, lead, zinc, copper, etc., these mineral reserves are relatively rich.

The mining of these minerals requires a large number of manpower
