Qin Hao didn't hesitate. He chose Yu Yanran mainly because she had a gentle temperament, would be easy to get along with in the future, and would be kind to the children at home. Since the Yu family refused, there was no need for him to hang himself from this tree.

I originally thought this matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the old lady of Yu Mansion came to visit in person and mentioned the marriage again.

It turned out that just after Mr. Yu rejected the Dongchang Hou Mansion, Yu Yanran learned the news and went to Mrs. Yu to cry out in sadness.

Master Yu had met Qin Hao and had a good impression of him. When he heard that this was still happening, he quickly called Master Yu over to give him a lecture.

"Father, the Dongchang Marquis Mansion has offended the future official family. Marrying Yanran will not only push her into the pit of fire, but it will also hurt our Yu family in the future."

Before Mr. Yu could say anything, the wife of Xu Xian jumped out.

Mrs. Yu raised her eyelids and sneered: "Are you afraid that it will make it difficult for your biological daughter to get married?"

Mrs. Yu was speechless. Mr. Yu quickly said: "Father, what are you talking about? Isn't the second girl also your direct granddaughter?"

Mrs. Yu glared at her son: "By the way, I have forgotten you. Are you afraid that having such a son-in-law will make it difficult for you to climb the ladder in the future?"

Mr. Yu didn't say anything either. If he didn't say that he knew his son better than his father, Mrs. Yu's words really spoke to his heart.

Grand Master Yu pointed at her son and scolded her with hatred: "Thankfully, you are also a person who has read books about saints and sages. All you can think about is getting promoted and getting rich. A real man does what he wants and what he doesn't do. A person like you is just trying to get things done."

, what qualifications do you have to stand in the court and ask for orders for the livelihood of the people?"

"If you want to talk more, I will submit a memorial to the officials and take off your red robe, so that you will not have to sit in the corpse and eat without food, which will stain the integrity of the scholar!"

Master Yu didn't dare to speak anymore. He knew that his father had always been upright, and he would really kill his relatives when he was angered.

Mrs. Yu wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Yu glared at her.

"What? You still want to disobey your elders? If you open an ancestral hall, you can give me a divorce note and divorce her!"

Mrs. Yu was defeated in an instant. If she was divorced, she would be embarrassed to see others, and the future prospects of her daughter and son would also be ruined.

Mrs. Yu's fighting ability was extraordinary, and she settled the matter in an instant. Mrs. Yu took the initiative to come to apologize and renew the marriage.

Mrs. Qin Liu was originally very unhappy, but seeing that Mrs. Yu's attitude was very sincere, her anger subsided.

At the same time, the official's decree also came down, and Qin Hao was assigned the position of Zhaowu Colonel, which was still the sixth rank, but this official position could lead the army.

The officials also transferred troops from three capitals to Qin Hao from Beidaying. Each one has a hundred people, which means a total of 300 people. Beidaying is considered a relatively combat-effective army. Many soldiers were stationed there.

Crossing the northern border and surviving in such a complicated environment requires two brushes.

In addition to soldiers, the government also allocated a team of fifty craftsmen to Qin Hao from the Ministry of Industry, among which the largest number were blacksmiths, as well as masons, carpenters, and even some who were dedicated to firing porcelain for the official kilns.

The troops were scheduled to leave in half a month, so it was naturally too late for Qin Hao and Yu Yanran's wedding. In the end, the two families discussed and decided to send the betrothal gift first, and then decided on the wedding, even if it was an engagement, and waited until Qin Hao came back.

Come to the door again to welcome the bride.

In the next ten days or so, the two families were extremely busy, and Qin Hao was like a wooden man at the mercy of others. In ancient times, the number of etiquette for getting engaged was so frightening.

What: accepting a gift, asking for a name, accepting a gift, and accepting a levy? This set of procedures made Qin Hao feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, it was more troublesome to marry the first wife. After that, he could just go through the motions of taking in a concubine.

.

During this period, Qin Hao also met with Yu Yanran, secretly of course. Yu Yanran also embroidered a peace charm for Qin Hao, and Qin Hao gave her a jade pendant he carried with him.

The day of departure soon came, and Qin Hao and his party took a mighty official ship to Ningbo, which of course in the Song Dynasty was called Mingzhou.

In fact, the Song Dynasty began to trade with Japan very early. At this time, the Song Dynasty was a bit like Britain in later generations. Navigation trade was very developed. Wherever there was money to be made, Song Dynasty merchants were everywhere.

Going from Mingzhou to Japan is a relatively common route and relatively safe.

Qin Hao and his party did not set off immediately after arriving in Mingzhou. Instead, they have been training in Mingzhou for a month. After all, most of these northern soldiers are not familiar with water and have no experience in boating. Let alone encounter enemies at sea.

The wind and waves alone are enough for them to drink a pot.

Qin Hao directly rented a large maritime merchant ship and let the sailors wander offshore every day. All the soldiers, including Cui Zhi, almost vomited their intestines.

As for swimming, I kicked people off the boat and fished them out until they were half-dead. Of course, I learned quickly. When faced with the threat of death, people's potential is unlimited.

A month later, the large ship carried Qin Hao and his party across the ocean to Japan, accompanied by two merchant ships. At this time, Japan was still in the shogunate era, governed by the Fujiwara family, and was basically closed to the outside world, rarely communicating with the outside world.

.

Qin Hao's goal this time is to "see the silver mountain in stone". The output of this silver mountain is astonishingly high, accounting for one-third of the world's silver mine output.

Of course, "Iwami Ginzan" had not yet been developed at this time, and its location was in the southwest of Honshu Island. During the Song Dynasty, it was still a place where birds did not poop.

Surrounded by some relatively small daimyo lords, Qin Hao's regular army of 350 people, equipped with all kinds of equipment, was simply a dimensionality reduction strike.

However, Qin Hao did not directly eliminate these big names. After all, as an outsider, his actions were too reckless and could easily cause panic. It would also be troublesome if these big names gathered together to fight.

And his purpose is not to kill, but to grab money. No matter how big the reserves of Shi Jian Yin Mountain are, they still need people to dig them. We can't let people like Qin Hao do it, right?

Therefore, Qin Hao directly summoned these big names and promised to provide them with various living supplies and medicines, and asked them to help recruit miners.

Hearing Qin Hao speak fluent Japanese, these famous figures were surprised and at the same time felt respected. At the same time, seeing the majestic soldiers in Qin Hao's camp, with a big stick on one side and a carrot on the other, they naturally knew what to choose.

Of course, these daimyo are not good things. The miners they sent are actually skinny refugees. In the agricultural era, there was not much land that could be cultivated in Japan. In addition, a large amount of land was occupied by daimyo and the samurai class.

People are living in dire straits.

Although Qin Hao's mine was a little tiring from work, he was able to eat well, and soon a large number of refugees came after hearing the news.

After these famous people tasted the sweetness, they began to live a life of luxury in the eyes of Japanese people. They even dared to add small fish for breakfast. At the same time, they also became more and more dependent on Qin Hao's material supplies. In order to exchange for more materials, they not only used

Most of the farmers within the jurisdiction were sent to Qin Hao's mine, and they also began to plunder the surrounding areas.

Qin Hao did not come forward during the whole process. In this era of poor information, by the time the Fujiwara family got the news, Qin Hao's mine had begun to take shape, with more than 3,000 miners alone.

Qin Hao also intends to conduct military training for these miners. Originally, these miners were refugees who did not have enough to eat. Now they can not only have enough to eat in the mine, but also occasionally eat dried fish and pork. It is like living in paradise.

, Fujiwara dared to ruin their happy life.

Without Qin Hao's mobilization, as long as each of them is given a sword, they can defeat the army sent by the Fujiwara clan.

After fighting several battles, the Fujiwara clan was completely defeated. As a last resort, they had to negotiate with Qin Hao. In the end, the two parties agreed that Qin Hao would permanently obtain the mining rights of Iwami Ginzan, but he would have to provide five shipments of supplies to the Fujiwara clan every year.

.

With the huge reserves of Iwami Ginzan, this amount of supplies is not even a drop in the bucket.

At this time, a shocking incident was also taking place in the Song Dynasty Hall.

King Yong will soon be appointed as the crown prince. Once the official family dies, King Yong will be able to inherit the throne.

However, King Yan naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He and Concubine Rong carried out a palace coup, killing all King Yong's family and forcing the officials to abdicate.

A little palace maid prepared to escape from the palace with a blood edict and military talismans. She met Minglan on the way. The little palace maid died during the escape. Minglan fled alone and met Gu Tingye and Zhao Zongquan's father and son outside the city.

The content of the blood edict was to let Zhao Zongquan succeed to the throne and kill King Yan.

Under the persuasion of Gu Tingye and his son, Zhao Zongquan finally gritted his teeth and took the military talisman to go to the barracks to mobilize troops for King Qin.

In the end, with Gu Tingye's hard work, he saved the official family and the queen, killed King Yan, and Zhao Zongquan was appointed as the prince. After the official family died, Zhao Zongquan succeeded to the throne.
