"After I recovered from my injuries, I tried to escape from prison several times. After I found that I couldn't escape, I temporarily became honest."

"Where's that Samusu?"

"The current internal management of the prison camp is to put twelve of them in charge. They also know that they can't go back, so they still work hard."

Zhao Xin thought for a while and then said: "This time Deng Fei and the others are back, don't go out for the time being. First send these Qing prisoners to Soulengji Island to dig gold mines. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Liu Sheng nodded and said nothing. The two looked at it for a while and then left. When they walked outside, Liu Sheng turned around and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to dig gold mines? Don't you have enough money now?"

Zhao Xin sighed and said: "Now I not only need to buy grain for storage, but also plan to buy a few more cargo ships. These can no longer be bought from China, as others will notice them. I had a phone call with Andrew last night and asked him to help find them. Relations. I plan to pay for all his transactions with gold. Moreover, our first batch of gold and silver coins are also being minted, and reserves must be set aside."

"What are you going to do next on the island country?"

"The severe drought next spring will affect the entire Huanghuai River Basin. According to the data, it will affect 13 provinces. Judging from this situation, the silk production in Jiangnan will be greatly affected. I plan to export a large amount of cheap raw silk and silk through Sendai Domain. Silk, firstly, to obtain funds, and secondly, to destroy the textile workshops in Nishijin, Kyoto.

In addition, in order to attract funds from the shogunate, we have to dump a large amount of cheap light industrial products, which are very rare luxuries for the people of the current island nation."

The two were walking and talking, and Liu Sheng suddenly asked: "Matches?"

"Yes, matches are just one of them. In fact, the island country is very lacking in product types. Its own resources include gold, silver, and copper, including seafood. They don't have much copper now, and the reserves of gold and silver mines are also declining year by year."

"What is your strategy towards the island country?"

Zhao Xin said calmly: "Support the northeast and suppress the southwest. As for the Tokugawa family, let them stay half-dead. If necessary, we have to go to Edo Bay and use cannons to force the shogunate to sign a trade treaty."

Liu Sheng asked curiously: "What then?"

“Use silver to get gold.”

In fact, Zhao Xin still has a secret in his heart that he has not revealed to Liu Sheng. He wants to completely cut off the mythical "Eternal Lineage" when the opportunity comes!
