"The Japanese are so rude, they are simply presumptuous!"

In the morning court, Gao Biaoren, who returned from Japan, reported the situation of his mission to Japan to the emperor.

"When the prince of the Japanese sent a letter to Emperor Yang of Sui, he wrote that the Sunrise Emperor caused the Sunset Emperor, which made Emperor Yang very angry. However, when Goguryeo was there, he did not send troops to conquer. Unexpectedly, the Japanese are still so arrogant. As a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, the King of the Japanese, as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, not only claimed to be the emperor, but also dared not to bow to the north and kneel down to receive the order." Gao Shilian criticized and firmly supported his son's actions to return directly to the country, praising his son for keeping the dignity of the empire.

Chengqian was also dissatisfied with the rudeness of the Japanese.

In the vassal system established by the Tang Dynasty, only the Tang Dynasty was the empire, and only the emperors of the Tang Dynasty could be called emperors, and the biggest ones were the kings.

Japan is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. When the king accepted the enthronement of the Tang Dynasty, the king dared to be the emperor. Where did the Tang Dynasty be established?

"Since the Japanese are so arrogant, the Tang Dynasty should send troops to teach them a lesson." Cheng Qian sat on the dragon throne and said this sentence in a simple manner.

As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with hundreds of thousands of people and an army of hundreds of thousands, Chengqian is indeed qualified to say such things.

Just a small island country, you dare to be arrogant and you really don’t know how to live or die.

Wei Zheng came out to object.

Now the Tang Dynasty is using troops everywhere. Although the court has financial support, it is still relatively dangerous.

Fang Xuanling did not object to Wei Zheng this time, but believed that the court was indeed not suitable to send troops to Japan immediately.

The Northern Expedition was not over yet, and the Southern Expedition against Zhenla was still fighting, and the Xindu battlefield was still using troops, and the imperial court was even preparing for the Korean War.

At this time, it is indeed not the time to use troops to Japan.

Fang Xuanling advocated issuing an order to reprimand the King of Japan, ordered him to remove the title of Emperor and to accompany the Tang Dynasty.

"Silla and Baekje are fighting fiercely now, and the court has been preparing for a long time. This year, we can send troops to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula to destroy Silla and Baekje."

"When Silla Baekje is destroyed, it will not be too late to conquer Watson later."

Fang Xuanling's attitude was very obvious. She didn't have to hurry, just take her time and hit her one by one. Japan was also proud and not long after it was too long.

······

Luzon.

Another fleet arrived at Luzon Port.

Zhang Chao came to greet him in person, but the one who got off the boat was Zhang Jing, Duke of Liu Qiu.

According to the court system, the princes were not allowed to leave their fiefdoms at will, and they could not visit each other with other princes in this way.

If you want to leave the fief, you have to report to the court.

The court even planned to dispatch censors to the fiefs of various princes to supervise the words and deeds of the princes. It is said that historians were also sent to record the words and deeds of the princes.

However, Zhang Jing went south this time without reporting to the court, so he came with the fleet.

The fleet brought more than 3,000 immigrants asked by Liu, including Shanyi and Han people, and many craftsmen.

"Father, all the coin minting machines you want have been shipped."

Zhang Chao had already had a mint in Liuqiu, and now he is planning to build a mint in Luzon.

There are now eight gold mines in Luzon being excavated at the same time. Now there are more than 10,000 gold miners coming to Luzon to hunt gold. Most of them are exploring gold in eight gold mines. When they find gold, they pay gold and pay gold mines. They get commissions and their income is quite high.

Zhang Chao has eight gold mines mined at the same time and harvested more.

The gold mines here are easier to mine, especially the golden sand in the stream, which harvests extremely high monthly.

It is initially estimated that if there is enough manpower, 500,000 taels of gold can be mined a year. Of course, so much gold cannot be stored in the warehouse.

The greatest profit is to mint gold coins or process them into gold jewelry and then flow into the market.

With the Zhang family's technical level, if it is minted into gold coins, it will directly make eight points of profit. Although it is not as good as in the past, it is still a big profit.

Five hundred thousand gold can be minted into more than 500,000 gold coins, and the profit of minting coins alone is 40,000 taels. The gold mine is owned by Zhang Chao. It is difficult to dig and the cost is also low. These few gold mines alone can bring more than 10 million profits to Zhang Chao in a year.

With these gold coins, the Zhang family's ICBC can make more profits, and even the credit of the Zhang family's ICBC is greatly stable.

Even if the right to issue money is not available, the Zhang family can still issue silver notes. The imperial court only collects banknotes for taxation, and the imperial court only uses banknotes for purchases, but silver notes can still be circulated.

Zhang Chao called his son to come this time, of course, not just to send some coin minting machines, craftsmen and some people to come.

The two of them left the workers to unload the ship and walked into the city.

After half a year of construction, Luzon City has not yet had a wall, but it has actually been almost done.

Eight streets correspond to eight city gates.

There is no city wall yet, but the city gate is there.

When goods enter and exit, they actually have to go through the city gate. After all, cars and horses have to rely on the streets to travel.

The street has not been covered with bricks and stones, but the soil on the ground has hardened and a layer of sand has been laid, which is clean and refreshing. There are sidewalks on both sides of the street and street trees have been planted.

Palm and coconut trees are lined up, with the unique charm of Luzon.

There are shops on both sides of the street, but now only some shops have plaques installed and many are still empty.

"Save it first, and when there are more people in the future, the store will naturally be rented out."

“Don’t you sell it?”

Zhang Jing was a little surprised.

Luzon City was built by Zhang Chao himself, so the houses and shops in Luzon City are all assets of the king. Moreover, this is not the assets of the king, but the assets of the king.

There are many houses, shops, warehouses, etc. in the city, but Zhang Chao basically rents them instead of sells them.

Although the renting cannot be recovered for a while, Zhang Chao is not short of money, so renting a house will be a long-term trend. In the future, the more people the Luzon and the more prosperous the business, the more expensive the houses and shops here will naturally be.

Zhang Chao probably is the first person in Datang when doing real estate or renting.

"There are many people in Luzon City." Zhang Jing looked at the people coming and going on the streets.

"There are quite a lot of people now, but when Luzon City is built, there will be no place for so many people here. There are still fewer workshops here, and most of them still have to be placed outside to reclaim wasteland and farmland."

The population composition of Luzon is relatively simple now. The largest number of people are Luzon natives. Luzon city is dominated by slaves, while in the surrounding area, it is dominated by Luzon natives. The second largest population is mainly Shanyi, which was immigrated by Liuqiu, while the Han people are the least.

Zhang Chao now distributed a lot of land, and the natives who were granted land to them, actually they transferred the land they had owned for generations to them, but they had to register and register their household registration. In this way, they became the registered households of the Luzon Kingdom, with taxes and service.

In Luzon, Zhang Chao implemented a two-tax system that integrates the imperial court.

If you do not suppress mergers and share burials into a mu, you can use money instead of service.

However, as a newly developed land, if you want to attract people, you naturally have preferential conditions, such as dividing the land and granting land when you come, and exempting taxes for the first few years, etc.

Zhang Chao was not worried about exempting taxes. When those Han immigrated, the land was exempted from ten years of taxes. Indigenous land was also exempted from five years of taxes.

Zhang Chao is not short of money, and the taxes through industry and commerce are much higher than those who rely on land collection. On the other hand, Zhang Chao himself also runs farms, runs various workshops, and even builds houses for rent.

What's more, Zhang Chao can earn tens of millions of dollars in a year by mining gold and minting coins.

But no one thinks that the money is too much.

Zhang Chao called his son today, and another important reason was that he was planning to take his son to grab the money.

"Send troops to Japan?"

Zhang Jing spoke in surprise after hearing his father's words.

"If you want to fight Japan, it should be the imperial court to send troops. Although the Japanese king is rude, it is not our turn to teach a lesson." Zhang Jing also heard about Gao Biaoren's mission to Japan last time.

"Of course it's not because of this. This can be used as a reason for our troops. I really want to send troops to Japan because my people discovered two large mines in Japan."

"What mine? It's not a gold mine, right?"

Zhang Chao shook his head.

"One is a silver mine and the other is a copper mine."

"Silver mine and copper mountain?"

Zhang Jing thought it was a gold mine, after all, gold is valuable. If it were only silver mines and copper mines, it would be not very cost-effective to go to Japan.

"This is not a small mine. The silver mine is called Shijian Yinshan, and the copper mine is called Beizi Tongshan. Its reserves are amazing. Do you know how much silver can be mined from there in a year with the new silver mining method we mastered?"

"How many?"

Zhang Chao said with a smile, "You can guess."

"Hundreds of thousands of taels?"

"More than that, if it was only one hundred thousand taels, it would be worth my mobilization of such a large number of troops."

"Two hundred thousand, no, five hundred thousand taels?"

"Presuming higher."

"Is it a million taels?"

"Hahaha, you have underestimated Ishimi Yinshan's reserves and our family's technology. With our technology and Yinshan's reserves, we can easily get a huge amount of 5 million taels of silver from Ishimi Yinshan a year."

"Of course, to use our new technology, we must use coal. It is not possible to use charcoal. If the coal cannot keep up, it will greatly restrict our silver mining volume. But even if the early mining is less, one million taels a year will not be a problem."

A silver coin contains eight coins and eight coins of silver, and is worth four silo copper coins.

One million taels of silver, minted into coins, would be nearly five million guan. If five million taels are mined a year, it would be worth more than two million guan.

"Father, how long can the stones be mined in Yinshan?"

"It's no problem to open it for two or three hundred years. And Shi Jian Yin Mountain has more than silver, but also minerals such as brass, iron, and lead."

Zhang Jing was very moved when he heard this.

"Dad, when I see the Yinshan Mountain, I will organize people to grab it."

Ishimi Ginshan is located at the northeast end of Honshu Island in Japan, across the sea from Kyushu Island. It is geographically located in the Chinese region.

In recent years, Japan has sent envoys to the Central Plains and also sent overseas students to study in the Tang Dynasty. After these people returned to Japan, they brought back the advanced systems, ideas, laws, etc. of the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, the Japanese countries have also begun to reform. They set the Japanese countries into the five zodiac signs and seven zodiac signs. The five zodiac signs in the Jingji area are five zodiac signs, while other zodiac signs are imitated by the Tang Dynasty, with a total of seven zodiac signs.

In addition, all the decrees and states under the throne are given the name of state. Each decrees and state is also a state.
