Besides, His Majesty the Emperor only gave half of the money for building the Western Turkic City. Needless to say, Luo Zhang paid for the rest from his own pocket.
With such a majesty and father-in-law in front of him, Luo Zhang could only admit that he was unlucky. How could he be called a good son-in-law?
The harvest this time was full. Even though Mei Niang had seen countless gold and silver, she was really shocked.
Twelve high-sea ships, how much gold and silver must be loaded back?
When all the gold and silver were put into the treasury, the final count showed that there were a total of thirty million taels of silver. Of course, the gold here was also converted into silver.
One month, this is just the result of one month of digging gold and silver mines in Japan.
If we say that if we dig for a year, we will get a total of 360 million taels of silver. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are as rich as a country.
Of course, it is indeed the power of one country, and Japan is not just one country.
Liu Renyuan originally wanted to meet Luo Zhang, but unfortunately he came back a step late, and Luo Zhang had already taken a step ahead, which made Liu Renyuan quite regretful.
However, Luo Zhang had already finished explaining the matter before leaving. Liu Ren was willing to rest for half a month and go south to replace Master Sun Ren.
Liu Rengui, who was in the Royal Navy barracks, also rested for half a month before going to Japan to replace Zheng Shuang.
In this way, the four fleets form a big cycle, replacing each other and not staying in one place.
The main reason is that Luo Zhang also has a sense of precaution. After all, money is attractive to people. If a fleet is always in one place and watches a large amount of gold and silver being dug out all day long, it is inevitable that he will be a little cautious.
What Luo Zhang did was to kill this kind of thinking. It was too easy to make a person bad.
Luo Zhang didn't want the person he worked so hard to cultivate to become that kind of person, so he stopped this kind of thinking from the source, lest something really happened and Luo Zhang wouldn't be able to take action.
When Li Shimin learned that the silver taels shipped back from Japan were worth 30 million taels, he burst into laughter in the palace.
He kept shouting that Luo Zhang was really a lucky star.
You must know that it was Luo Zhang's intention to send ships to occupy Japan. If Luo Zhang hadn't insisted repeatedly, Li Shimin would have adopted a soft policy and made Japan a vassal state, and would just submit it every year.
After all, controlling a country is very troublesome.
However, such a troublesome matter was easily solved by Luo Zhang. Not only was it solved, but there was also an unexpected gain.
Mei Niang can clearly calculate the harvest in Japan, and Li Shimin can naturally calculate it clearly.
In one year, his treasury can receive 180 million taels. With this money, he can do many things.
Some people would say that if there is too much money flowing into the market, wouldn’t it cause inflation?
That depends on the situation. If the demand for goods is high, the people can have enough food, clothing, and spare money, and inflation will not exist at all.
After all, the money that Luo Zhang put into the system will not be withdrawn. The disappearing money must be replenished, otherwise there will always be a shortage of gold and silver on the market, which will cause the value of gold and silver to appreciate.
When cartloads of gold and silver were transported into the treasury, not only Li Shimin was happy, but Dai Zhou, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, was also smiling.
No minister of the Ministry of Revenue likes to have an empty warehouse under his control while running horses.
With so much money, he can allocate funds to various places for disaster relief, or allocate money to build bridges and pave roads, or buy cattle for the people to use.
In the Tang Dynasty, farming cattle did not belong to individuals. Most of them were owned by the government. When the farming season came, the government offices would distribute cattle to each village.
Everyone used a cow to plow the land. This was why in the Tang Dynasty, people who killed cows had to be locked up and sentenced.
It is true that the number of cattle is too small and there is simply not enough. Killing more cattle will cut off the people's livelihood.
After all, it is too hard to rely on people to cultivate the land. This kind of thing happened a lot in the past, but now it is much less.
After taking over East Turkestan, Luo Zhangke suggested to Li Shimin that everyone who went to the north to farm would be given a hundred acres of fertile land. This made some tenants extremely happy.
They all patted their butts and left, dragging their families and families north to become their own landowners!
There was a lot of trouble at that time, and Luo Zhang was scolded by many people. After all, without people to farm the land, the land of some aristocratic families would be left uncultivated, which would be a huge loss for them.
However, Luo Zhang didn't care at all. He didn't have any fiefdoms for farming, and most of them were used for special purposes.
This is also the reason why all the officials hate Luo Zhang so much!
