The consternation of the Portuguese was a trivial matter for Li Tianyang at this time, he was caught by Wu Changtao of the Logistics Department of Jilong Port, and dragged him back to sort out the harvest of these days!

Wu Daofu and they returned triumphantly, and in addition to the news of victory and the three islands, they also brought back 40,000 taels of genuine gold and 160,000 taels of silver, which was still in the case that some of the silver was distributed by Wu Daofu first, not to mention the rewards of the Ryukyu kings such as silk and linen and the materials that Wu Daofu and they had captured.

How can there be so much gold and silver, don't forget that just from the hands of King Shangning of the Ryukyus, Wu Daofu has twice extorted 20,000 taels of gold and tens of thousands of taels of silver. And after the First World War on Amami Island, the Amami Japanese army, which was almost completely wiped out, had been operating on the five islands of Amami for more than ten years, but all of them fell into the hands of Wu Daofu.

Although he has been transfusing blood to Kagoshima all these years, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese generals like Hisataka Kayama to have no income on the island all these years!

What's more, Amami Goto is not close to Kagoshima, and generally speaking, the income from the year is transported to the base camp once every six months or even once a year. It just so happened that this time, there was more than half a year of accumulated wealth on Amami Oshima, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to use the money to boost the morale of the pirates below at that time.

There is also the contract signed with the king of Ryukyu Shoning, which is written in black and white that after driving out the Japanese people, the Ryukyu Kingdom will pay 30,000 taels of gold to the Bengang team as a reward.

In the end, there is another income, that is, the Dutch ambassador Daemon who has just completed the handover and returned with the fart captives, transported thousands of miles from the Dutch colony in Java, 500,000 ounces of sweet cakes, that is, Dutch silver coins, which is converted into large silver, which is also a small 300,000 taels of silver!

More than half a year ago, Li Tianyang was still arguing with Yumo for the matter of silver, but in less than a year, Wu Changtao, the chief financial and logistics manager of Jilong Port, had to find Li Tianyang because she was frightened, and asked him to quickly dispose of the large amount of gold and silver that was now stored in Jilong Port.

"Isn't it good to have more money, a few days ago you kept chasing me for the cost of the next batch of dress-ups, but now it's good, you came to ask me again what to do with some silver money that I died!" Li Tianyang looked at the large wooden boxes stacked neatly behind the thick cement wall, and opened one at random, and it was full of snow white, or golden.

At this time, Li Tianyang still had the leisure to joke with Wu Changtao, looking at Wu Changtao's troubled little face, he couldn't say how complacent he was, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh: "War money, war money, this war is really a profiteering act, but unfortunately, this is all exchanged for the blood of countless soldiers in our Hongtang!" ”

"Then you said so much money, what should we do, it's not a problem to always put it in the treasury like this, I haven't slept a good night every day these days!!" Wu Changtao looked at the mountains of money in the treasury with a worried look, she had never seen so much money when she grew so big, how could she not be cautious and repeatedly pull Li Tianyang over.

First of all, we must distribute the pensions to the soldiers who died in the war as soon as possible, and we must also do a good job in the logistics of the disabled team members due to the war, so that they cannot lose their source of livelihood." Li Tianyang's sigh was only for a moment, although he didn't do enough homework, but a few suggestions he put forward casually could indeed cost a lot of money.

"We don't have to drag on the next rearmament and refitting work, it just so happens that this time we have money, so we should use these silver coins on the blade for so long. Next, in addition to changing clothes, there is also the recruitment of new people, and the training work must also be carried out in a timely manner. Last time Uncle Wu and their crusade fought in the east, they lost nearly 2,000 men, and we have to recruit another 2,000 people this time, but there may not be so many pirates to come to take refuge, and in the end, don't you need Yuegang Qisan and them to go to the interior of Daming to recruit? ”

"There is another matter, your financial logistics also go to discuss with their administrative measures, I am ready to follow our Bengang side, find a higher mountain, build a monument and a cemetery, so that our team members who died in the line of duty can have a peaceful burial place." Li Tianyang thought about the monument and the cemetery for a day or two, but there were many things before and it was cumbersome, and he didn't have time to tell the people below.

"Well, good!" At this time, the whole team is like a nouveau riche, Wu Changtao, as the financial director, also hopes to laugh at the inventory funds as soon as possible, and there is no objection to Li Tianyang's proposal.

"By the way, remember to recast all this gold and silver into our own coins and send them out, don't bother!" When it was over, Li Tianyang did not forget to tell Wu Changtao a word before he could rest assured.

"Got it!"

Compared with the coins minted at the beginning, the coins minted by the Bengang Mint are not only common in the Bengang chicken coop port, but also spread to the moon port, many merchants are more willing to use silver dollars to collect and pay, rather than using silver ingots to collect and pay.

The reason is very simple, in addition to the Ming official silver ingots, the silver ingots circulated by the Ming Dynasty are more privately cast silver ingots, which are doped with too many sundries, resulting in the silver content of the silver ingots two declined, many normal circulation of qualified silver ingots silver content is only eighty percent is already excellent, and there are even defective products with less than sixty percent silver content.

Therefore, the silver dollar, which is guaranteed to contain more than ninety percent of the silver, also relies on its exquisite coinage technology, which makes many private mints unable to counterfeit, so that it is much more convenient for everyone to use and circulate.

In this way, the Bengang silver dollar in many cases, even can not meet the daily consumption of Bengang and Jilong Gang, and everyone even uses the deduction coupons that they came up with because they have no money a few days ago to make up for the lack of real money in the world. The reason is that many merchants and seafarers are unwilling to exchange the silver dollars they get for the silver ingots used in the Ming Dynasty in the Qixintang Money Village, so they take the silver dollars out of Jilong Port and Ben Port.
