Become a feudal king from today

"How is the distribution of 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 Industry, Liu Fu also wanted to intervene.

"Back to Your Highness, in order to prevent the young adults from Japan from being too concentrated and causing chaos, I ordered the Ministry of Works to disrupt the young adults delivered by Wang Yanzhong and work together with the Korean people so that they can supervise each other." Liu Fu pondered for a while and said.

Zhao Xu nodded, saying that the Koreans and Japanese would not deal with them.

Liu Fu pinched them together so that they would supervise each other without their supervision. It was really a clever trick.

"In addition to the young men handed over to the imperial court, Yahang conducted an auction for the Japanese young men retained by themselves during this period. It was very popular and the supply exceeded the demand. It made eight million taels of silver, of which six million taels were handed over, and the rest "Keep it for yourself." Liu Fu added, "Most of the slaves were basically bought by the royal pioneer group, and then they were the merchants who opened the workshops."

"Yes, a group of young people will arrive soon. Together, the young people from Japan and Korea should be able to temporarily alleviate the problem of labor shortage." Zhao Xu said.

Thinking of something, he asked again: "Have you finished counting the trophies that were brought back and sorted them and stored them?"

When Liu Fu mentioned this, he grinned from ear to ear.

In the past, every time there was a war, money from the treasury was flowing out, which made him very distressed.

During the first war, money flowed into the treasury like water, and the amount was huge.

Before the civil war broke out in Dasong, the country's annual tax revenue was only 60 million taels of silver.

This time King Yan directly robbed nearly two years of taxes.

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

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

There will also be more money loaned to merchants and people, making private commerce more prosperous.

Jiangbei, which had been severely damaged by civil strife, could finally see a new life.

"Everything has been counted. Current silver and gold, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, cloth, iron ingots, etc. have been classified separately and have been sent to the corresponding warehouse."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, "Like Qing Zhuang, a batch of trophies will arrive soon, and you will have to be busy for a while."

"I am willing to work as long as I want." Liu Fu's heart was violently stirred again.

…

The three of them were chatting about the war in Japan.

Hojo father and son, Ono Town, Oda Yamazawa, and Maori Yusheng came to the spinning mill under the custody of the palace soldiers.

As soon as they entered the spinning mill in shackles, they were attracted by the roar of the machine.

And when they saw the spinning machine equipped with one hundred and twenty vertical spindles that could spin quickly without manpower, everyone was stunned.

In Japan, men farm and women weave, so they are naturally familiar with spinning and weaving.

They just stood there for a moment, and the spinning machine in front of them spun one hundred and twenty spindles.

Then the female worker pulled out the spindle, replaced it with an empty spindle, and stuffed cotton into the yarn again.

"These spinning machines are all driven by steam engines." The person in charge of the spinning workshop took the initiative to explain after learning the purpose of the royal soldiers' visit.

He also showed the feudal lords the steam engine in the workshop.

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

They considered themselves big shots in Japan, but now they are like country people going to Edo.

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

These coal-eating iron boxes are so powerful that it is too magical to use a pole to drive the wheels to rotate.

After staying in the spinning mill for a while, the soldiers escorted the feudal lord to the weaving mill.

Here, they saw the shuttle loom again, and the image of cloth coming off the machine like running water left an indelible impression on them.

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

After that, they went to the steel mill and saw the converter making steel.

Seeing the flowing molten steel flowing out of the huge converter for the first time, they all opened their mouths wide and their eyes were dull.

And this often makes the craftsmen burst into laughter.

After coming out of the steel workshop, they were taken to the firearms workshop and witnessed the assembly line manufacturing of muskets and artillery.

These things made them salivate and at the same time they felt deeply frightened.

During the remaining time, they were taken to the motorcycle workshop, agricultural machinery workshop, and construction machinery workshop.

When they saw the steam locomotive running on the railway track, they turned pale with fear.

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

They were lucky enough to see the first steam tractor, a steam forklift.

These moving machines have simply subverted their understanding of the world.

Until the soldiers took them out of the city and escorted them to Jinghai, the feudal lords were still like idiots, silent for a long time, with a huge amount of emotions in their hearts.

Boarding the warship bound for Japan, they were sent back to their respective vassals.

The moment he entered Anton City, Hojo Kawakei suddenly said loudly: "This idiot, the Watanabe case, is going to bring Japan into a place of eternal destruction. We can no longer allow him to do whatever he wants. We, the Hojo family, must resist."

After recovering from the shock of the trip to Yancheng and being sent back to Japan, Hojo Kawakei instantly understood why King Yan asked them to go to Yancheng and then sent them back.

With the Watanabe case over, it would be foolish to continue to be loyal to him.

At this moment in Japan, whoever can get the support of King Yan will be invincible.
