Besides, His Majesty the Emperor only gave half of the silver to build 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 consider himself unlucky. Who could call him 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 should be loaded back?

When all the gold and silver were put into the treasury, the final calculation 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 one 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 Renyuan took half a month's rest and went 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 is too easy to make a person become bad.

Luo Zhang didn't want the people he cultivated so hard to become that kind of person, so he stopped this kind of thinking at the root, lest something really happened and Luo Zhang wouldn't be able to take action.

When Li Shimin learned that the silver shipped back from Japan was worth thirty million taels, he burst into laughter in the palace.

He kept shouting that Luo Zhang is really a lucky star.

You must know that it was Luo Zhang's intention to send ships to occupy Japan. If Luo Zhang had not insisted repeatedly, Li Shimin would have adopted a soft policy and made Japan a vassal state, and just submitted 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 may say that if there is too much money flowing into the market, wouldn’t it cause inflation?

It depends on the situation. If the demand for goods is high, and the people can have enough food, clothing, and spare money, inflation will not exist at all.

In other words, the silver money that Luo Zhang put into the system will not be withdrawn. These disappearing silver coins 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 that much money, he could allocate funds to various places for disaster relief, or to build bridges and pave roads, or to buy cattle for the people.

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 one by one to each village.

Everyone used a cow to plow the land. This is why in the Tang Dynasty, people who killed cows were imprisoned 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 the East Turks, 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 turmoil at that time, and Luo Zhang was scolded by many people. After all, without people to farm, 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.
