"How was the slaves sent back by Wang Yanzhong?" After giving Chang Wei a candied date, Zhao Xu looked at Liu Fu.

Although this slave was handed over to the Ministry of Works, Liu Fu also had to inquire about it.

"Return to Your Highness, in order to avoid the chaos caused by the young and strong in Japan, I ordered the young and strong who were given by Wang Yanzhong, the general of the Ministry of Works, to work with the Koreans, to supervise each other." Liu Fu pondered for a while and said.

Zhao Xu nodded, the Goryeo and the Japanese were incompatible.

Liu Fu pinched them together and didn’t need them to supervise them, they would supervise each other themselves. This is a clever trick.

"In addition to the young and strong men handed over to the court, Yashang auctioned the young and strong men who were kept by themselves during this period. It was very hot and the supply was in short supply. He earned eight million taels of silver, of which six million taels were paid, and the rest were kept by themselves." Liu Fu added, "Most of the slaves were basically bought by the Royal Development Group, and the other ones were merchants who opened workshops."

"Yes, there will be a group of young and strong people coming soon. The combined youth and strong people of Japan and Goryeo should be able to temporarily alleviate the problem of insufficient labor." Zhao Xu said.

Thinking of something, he said again: "Has the returned spoils been counted and stored in a classified manner?"

Speaking of this, Liu Fu smiled and grinned at the ear.

In the past, in every war, the silver in the treasury was flowing out, which made him feel extremely distressed.

For the first time in a war, silver flowed into the treasury like water, and the amount was huge.

Before Dasong's civil strife, the national tax was only 60 million taels of silver a year.

This time, the King of Yan directly robbed the taxes that had been around for nearly two years.

For the first time, he felt that the silver in his hand was so spacious.

Next, these wealth will greatly promote various construction projects in Jiangbei.

More money will be loaned to merchants and the people, making private business more prosperous.

Jiangbei, which was severely damaged by civil strife, can finally see dead trees in spring.

"All of them have been counted out, and the current silver and gold, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, cloth, iron ingots, etc. are classified separately, and they are all distributed to the corresponding warehouse."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, "Like young and strong, a batch of spoils will arrive soon, and you will have to work for a while."

"I am willing to do it for how long I have been busy." Liu Fu's heart was once again violently stirred up.

...

The three of them were talking about this Japan war.

Hojo and son, Ono Town, Oda Yamazawa, and Mori Yukashi were detained by soldiers from the royal palace to the spinning workshop.

As soon as they entered the spinning workshop, they were attracted by the roar of the machine.

And when they saw a spinning machine equipped with one hundred and twenty vertical spindles that required no manpower and rapid spinning, everyone was stunned.

Japan also uses men to farm and women to weave, and they are naturally familiar with spinning and weaving.

But after they stood for a while, the spinning machine in front of them spun out one hundred and twenty spindles.

Then the female worker pulled out the spindle, replaced it with the spindle, and stuffed cotton and spinned it again.

"These spinning machines are all driven by steam engines." The head of the spinning workshop learned the purpose of the soldiers from the royal palace and took the initiative to explain.

He also led the lords to see the steam engine in the workshop.

Hojo and other vassal lords had never seen a steam engine, and they were all more stupid than before.

They considered themselves big names in Japan, but now they are like people from the village going to Edo.

No, it is a hundred times more shocking than going to Edo.

These coal-eating iron boxes are powerful, and using a pole to activate the wheel to rotate is too magical.

After staying in the spinning workshop for a while, the soldiers took the vassal lord to the weaving workshop again.

Here, they saw the shuttle loom again, and the picture of the cloth falling from the machine like running water left an indelible impression on them.

Then, they were taken to the steam engine workshop to see how to make steam engines and how lathes turn castings into fine parts.

Afterwards, they went to the steel workshop and saw the converter steelmaking.

The first time I saw flowing molten steel flowing out of the huge converter, they opened their mouths one by one, their eyes were dull.

This often causes craftsmen to laugh.

After leaving the steel workshop, they were taken to the firearm workshop and witnessed the muskets and artillery made from assembly lines.

These things made them feel deeply afraid while they were running water.

For the rest of the time, they were taken to the locomotive workshop, agricultural machinery workshop, and engineering machinery workshop.

When they saw the steam locomotive running on the rails, they were so scared that their faces were pale.

During this period, agricultural machinery and engineering machinery have also made gratifying progress.

They had the honor of meeting the first steam tractor, steam forklift.

These moving machinery simply subvert their understanding of the world.

Until the soldiers took them out of the city and took them to Jinghai, the vassal lords were still like fools, speechless for a long time, and a huge amount of them appeared in their hearts.

Arriving on the warships heading to Japan, they were sent back to their respective vassal states.

Just as he entered Andong Castle, Hojo Kawaki suddenly whispered loudly: "This idiot in Watanabe case, he wants to bring Japan into a place of no return. He can no longer let him do anything wrong. Our Hojo family must resist."

Recovered from the shock of his trip to Yancheng, he was sent back to Japan. Hojo Kawaki instantly understood why the King of Yan asked them to go to Yancheng and sent them back.

The Watanabe case is over, and it is foolish to continue to be loyal to him.
