After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, people from the county came to Tongjiang Village with more than a dozen carts.

Today is the day of departure for the immigrants from Tongjiang Village, they will first gather in the county, then go to the provincial capital, and finally go to Nanjing, and then go east to Japan.

There are many people in Tongjiang Village who go to Japan, and everyone has packed their bags early and waited at the entrance of the village.

At the entrance of the village, the villagers in the village rushed to see them off.

The pointy headmaster also came over in a silk shirt, and he said to the more than 20 families who were leaving, "It's okay to go out, how many people in our village have gone out to wander around, and many of them have developed outside." When you go out with more than 20 families at once, you must remember that you are all from the same village, and you are all from the same clan as your ancestors. When you're outside, be sure to take care of each other. Regardless of whether you are developed or depressed outside, you must remember that this is your roots, and if you have the opportunity in the future, the fallen leaves must return to your roots. ”

Most of the more than 20 families who went out were like the aquatic family, one or two of the brothers went out, and there was always someone left in the family.

Shui Sheng's father said busily, "Third uncle, don't worry, even if we go out, we will be the same Jiang Li family, and we won't dare to forget it anywhere." When we have a firm foothold over there, we will definitely come back to worship our ancestors and sweep the tombs in the future. If we can really live a good life outside, then those of us who go out will definitely come back to renovate the ancestral shrine in our village, and we will pay for it. ”

The principal nodded with satisfaction, "It's good to have your words, you can go out with confidence, there are still brothers in the family." If there's anything I do, I'll help. If it weren't for my age, I'd have been going out like you. ”

After speaking, he beckoned, and the principal's sons each came up with a vermilion lacquer tray.

The tray was covered with a red cloth and opened, revealing a plate of bright silver dollars.

The headmaster took five silver dollars from it and handed them to his aquatic father. "The poor family is rich, take it, a little bit of the third uncle's heart."

The grassroots were taken aback, five silver dollars is a lot, and they can buy more than 200 catties of white rice, for the people in the countryside. That's a lot of money.

"Third uncle, I can't ask for this money."

The principal insisted on giving, "Grassroots, this money must be collected, don't be too little." Giving people to send money is a rule left by our ancestors here. We people here love to go out, no matter which one goes out, the villagers will send road money, this rule can't be broken by me. ”

All the villagers said one after another. "yes, take it."

The grassroots still felt that the money was too much, but the principal insisted again and again, and finally he accepted it with thanks.

The more than 20 families that the principal gave out, not a single one of them was left behind, and each family gave five silver dollars of road wealth, which was more than 100 silver dollars at once. Everyone is grateful to the third uncle for his generosity.

The other villagers also donated one after another, and some gave a dime of silver dollars. Some give one point, and some give twenty copper dollars. There were even a few old men who only found two copper coins.

But no matter how much, everyone accepted it gratefully.

In the end, the grassroots held the money and pulled Shui Sheng and said, "Kowtow to my father-in-law, uncles and aunts, you must remember today." Remember everyone's affection for us. No matter where you go today, developed or down, you must remember that you are from Jishui Tongjiang Village and the Li family. Over here. It's your roots. ”

Many fathers are telling their sons that if they earn money and make a fortune in the future, they must not forget their fathers and fellow villagers here.

Finally, before getting into the car, the old people left behind by each family came over with a cloth bag in one hand and a gourd in the other, and handed it to their son who had left home.

"Take this with you."

Shui Sheng looked at the cloth bag and gourd curiously, "What is this?" ”

"It's the water of the same river and the soil under the incense case of the doya, this is the water and soil of the hometown, and when I arrive in Japan and settle down, I sprinkle the soil under the incense case of the new house and pour the water into the well."

The aquatic grandfather said carefully to the children and grandchildren.

"I'll remember, Dad."

With a reluctant mood, everyone got into the big car prepared by the county, and they all only carried simple luggage. The prefecture has long told everyone that you should not bring too many things, just bring clothes, money and other things, it is best to deposit them in the bank first, bring the certificate of deposit, and then take them out when you arrive in Japan.

The food and accommodation on the road will be taken care of by the imperial court, and the less luggage, the better.

Japan.

After the Han Imperial Army occupied Sekigahara, it stopped and did not continue to advance eastward.

In Japan in August, autumn is still crisp.

However, in a mansion in Kyoto, Lu Weizhang was very busy.

On the table in front of him, there were mountains of reports.

For the Imperial Crusaders, the campaign has come to an end for the time being, and they can relax and even take turns on vacation to enjoy the seafood and sand.

But for Lu Weizhang and the large group of statisticians under him, it was the busiest time.

The empire has already captured nearly half of Japan, and according to rough statistics, there are more than 5 million Japanese people in the occupied areas, and these people will be sent to various concentration camps, and then through a series of complicated classification and screening procedures, the detailed information will be sent to the Central Plains, and when the plan for the collection and arrangement is completed, they will have to load the people on ships in batches.

In addition, it is necessary to rule the situation of the towns and villages here, so that the countless cities and villages in the big places must be registered, counted, and the resettlement work must be done for the upcoming immigrants.

Of course, there are countless loot to be counted.

All kinds of booty, gold, silver, copper, coins, jewels and jade, grain, livestock, boats, chariots and horses, etc.

Among the various materials seized, currency alone was very troublesome. Japan implements a three-way currency of gold, silver, and copper, of which there are seven units of gold and two types of silver. In addition, there are different currencies minted in different eras, and the content of various gold and silver currencies is different, so it is not easy to count them.

But the harvest is still quite amazing.

Lu Weizhang couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, no matter how monopolized the monopoly of trade with Japan, it would not be as good as the direct capture of the grabbed.

There are classified statistics for all kinds of materials, and Lu Weizhang has the actual statistics of various materials in front of him, although it is not the most accurate, but it is already roughly good.

So far, the empire has conquered Kyushu, Shikoku, Chugoku, and Kansai in Japan. More than 5 million people have been gained. Not counting the nearly 300,000 Imperial Allies and their families.

The seizure of grain is even more staggering, amounting to more than 10 million stones.

Gold of all kinds, as well as gold products, amounted to more than one million taels.

The most are silver and silver products, all kinds of silver and bean silver, and silver products, as much as more than 50 million taels.

All kinds of pearls, jade gemstones, etc. It was counted directly by box, and more than 3,000 boxes were seized.

At this time, the copper merchants in Japan ****** mainly copper merchants, and at the same time mining about 100 copper mines, some of which large copper mines produce more than 1 million catties of copper per year.

Before Japan banned copper exports, Japan exported more than 5 million catties of copper every year, and there was still about 3 million catties left over every year.

This means that Japan produces more than 8 million catties of copper every year. Quite amazing.

Much of the copper is exported from Nagasaki, and Daisho is an important transshipment point. When the Han army now occupied the area west of Sekigahara, the Han army seized a large amount of copper stored in warehouses in Nagasaki and Osaka.

The Han army now has more than 20 million catties of copper from Japan.

Not to mention, the Han army has also occupied dozens of copper mines, which can produce at least millions of catties of copper every year, which is a steady stream of cows.

This large amount of gold, silver, and copper is also the most concerned by the imperial court.

More than 100,000 taels of gold, more than 50 million taels of silver. There are also more than 2,000 catties of copper, just this harvest. has made Dahan make a lot of money.

Such a large harvest of gold and silver is enough to greatly alleviate the reserve reserves of the Imperial Bank today. With so much gold and silver, the Empire can mint more gold and silver dollars, and even use them as a reserve to issue more safe and secure silver dollar coupons.

The acquisition of a large amount of copper material will also allow the mint to mint more copper dollars in a steady stream.

Now Dahan is a little bit inflationary. It will inevitably be greatly relieved.

As for pearls, jade, raw silk, porcelain, cloth and livestock, these are already icing on the cake.

"These widows are really rich."

Lu Weizhang found that the Japanese people were much richer than he expected, could someone call Japan a country of silver. Who would have thought. Such an island country is rich in gold and silver, and the output of copper is also so large.

However, in an empire as large as the Han Dynasty, the output of gold and silver was very small, especially silver, which could only produce hundreds of thousands of taels per year in the past, and the output of copper was also seriously insufficient. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have made such an all-out effort to develop and research the steel industry, if it were not for the steel industry, using steel to cast cannons, the Han Dynasty would not even have enough copper to cast cannons, let alone lack copper to cast money.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, it has been restricting the amount of copper and silver production in the Central Plains Dynasty, and now through this conquest, it has been well resolved, especially after the annexation of Japan, the Han Dynasty will have extremely rich gold, silver and copper mines, and then the energy will continue to be mined, and there is no need to completely count on trade and imports from Spain in the South Seas or the Japanese in the East China Sea.

Dahan no longer has to worry about a silver shortage as in the late Ming Dynasty.

In addition, a large amount of iron, sulfur and other materials were seized, and it was really rich. When it came to the armor and weapons seized in the hands of the feudal lords and samurai, they did not attract much attention from the imperial court.

The imperial court has its own perfect equipment system and corresponding tactical system, and the Han army is basically not equipped with armor, let alone swords.

The Ministry of War is drawing up a plan whereby the army infantrymen will be equipped with only a short knife and no longer a waist knife after their rifles are equipped with bayonets.

Lu Weizhang knew that Dahan had really made a fortune this time.

Land, population, grain, gold, silver and copper, the harvest of these four materials alone can already make the court grin. This is only the occupation of half of Japan, and if the whole of Japan is annexed, especially the richest central and Kanto regions, it is estimated that the harvest will be doubled, or even more.

Sure enough, as soon as the cannon went off, there were ten thousand taels of gold.

Maritime trade makes money, but it is not as profitable as war. Doing sea trade, at most, is several times the profit, but this war is really a million profits.

Lu Weizhang copied several main numbers on a piece of paper, using the tabular method, and the numbers were clear at a glance.

After copying it, Lu Weizhang strode towards the temporary palace.

When Lu Weizhang came to the palace, Liu Jun was eating breakfast.

Breakfast was sticky rice with fish jelly.

After the glutinous rice is steamed, it is served with a special bolognese sauce soup topping, sprinkled with chopped green onions, crushed fritters, and some small dried shrimps.

Japan is an island country, and there are many ways to eat fish because of the abundance of fish products. Although other Japanese foods are average in Liu Jun's opinion, such as rice balls, the fish is really good. Just like this fish jelly, the soup after the stewed fish cools down and becomes fish jelly, and when you eat glutinous rice, add some fish jelly, which is delicious in the world.

Liu Jun saw Guozhang coming over, and hurriedly invited him to invite him to invite him together.

"The cook is his own, right?" Lu Weizhang asked.

"Don't worry, this palace is full of soldiers of my empire, and there is no one who is a widow. Including the original widows and palace maids in the palace, I also sent them out. ”

Lu Weizhang smiled, "The old minister doesn't mean anything else, but I'm just worried that there are people with bad intentions among those widows, so it's better to beware of some." ”

Liu Jun also smiled, no matter whether the Japanese woman was beautiful or not, he didn't care too much. I will not carelessly let the Japanese serve me at this time, and if there is really someone with bad intentions, it is not deliberately giving others a chance.

Historically, Cao Cao was almost poisoned by the Imperial Doctor. There is also Gao Cheng of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who was planning to abolish the emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and stand on his own, but he was careless for a while, and asked the cook in the house to hack him to death with a kitchen knife.

"Your Majesty, this is the preliminary statistics of the war harvest, which is quite good."

Liu Jun took it, and his eyes stayed on these numbers for a long time.

After a long time, he smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a fat sheep." ”

Putting down this page, Liu Jun, who was in a good mood, said to Guozhang, "I have good news to tell you, I just received a message from Jingshi, the queen has just given birth to a son for me, the mother and son are safe, the child weighs seven pounds, and he is a big fat boy." ”

"Lao Chen is a grandfather again, hahaha."

Lu Weizhang, who was in a good mood, had a great appetite and ate two bowls of glutinous rice in a row.

"This sticky rice is really delicious with a little crushed fritters and toppings with meat sauce and fish jelly."

At this time, the guards reported, and the commander of the Jinyi Wei Feng asked to see him outside.

"Xuan."

After Feng Sheng came over, Liu Jun asked him if he knew that Feng Sheng hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he asked someone to prepare one for him.

"Get two bowls, Feng Sheng has a lot of rice, and one bowl is definitely not enough to eat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Sheng thanked him.

"Your Majesty, the Queen of Japan has set off for her journey, but Tokugawa Iemitsu has not come, he has abdicated and passed the position of Tokugawa family governor to Shohito. Now Shao Ren escorts the queen over on his behalf! ”

Liu Jun just nodded when he heard this, Feng Sheng and Lu Weizhang didn't know what the emperor was planning! (To be continued.) )
