Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

After the three-day conference ended, Qin Lin gathered his tired body and returned to his office. During these three days, he learned about the achievements made by the Qin Empire in the past year, which was beyond his expectations.

Not to mention the most obvious economy, great achievements have been made in various aspects, such as agriculture, education, scientific research, transportation, etc., which have all made great progress this year.

After the big meeting, it is time for small meetings to begin and start discussing the development goals for the next year.

"Old Chiang!"

The Minister of Logistics, Jiang Yuanguo, also known as the Logistics Transport Captain, came to Qin Lin's office. At this time, Chen He, the Minister of the Frontline Materials Clearance Department, was also in Qin Lin's office.

Chen He shouted at Jiang Yuanguo, "You are a very incompetent transport captain. Your logistics department has not yet transported all the supplies I seized from the front line after so many days."

"Brother Chen, this is not my fault!"

Jiang Yuanguo said with a smile, his forehead bare, "It's really that the consumption of ammunition on the front line is too horrible. My logistics department can only maintain the supply of ammunition for the front line. I really don't have any extra ships to transport the seized materials back to the country!"

"Besides, it took more than ten days to transport one million Japanese prisoners and nearly five million Japanese civilians back home. Even though our logistics department worked in two shifts, it was still not enough!"

"You two should stop complaining in front of me."

Qin Lin put down the documents in his hand and said, "Tell me, how many prisoners and seized materials are there?"

"Then let me start," Jiang Yuanguo said, "My logistics department transported 607 million Japanese prisoners of war. More than 8 of them were killed or wounded on the way. The remaining 607 Japanese prisoners of war were marked with a prisoner mark on their foreheads and then forcibly purchased by various departments. The total amount of money from their sale was 5.5 million star coins. Because the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled are different from normal men and women, their labor force is relatively cheap."

"As for the men of the Eastern countries, they are all castrated according to the standards, or given injections to block their ability to produce offspring."

"Ah."

Qin Lin nodded in response. He was very satisfied with this approach.

"His Majesty."

After hearing Jiang Yuanguo's report, Chen He said, "During the attack on the Japanese country, our front-line material clearance department seized materials including land, weapons, precious metals, currency, population, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc."

"According to statistics from our front-line clearing department, the Miyazaki Island of the Eastern Kingdom and its 1448 surrounding islands have all been designated as the territory of our Great Qin Empire, with a total area of ​​6.1 square kilometers."

"In terms of weapons seized, we occupied seven arsenals on the front line in Miyazaki Island, seized 72 rifles, light and heavy machine guns, 2 artillery pieces of various types, 8800 million rounds of bullets, 17 rounds of various artillery shells, and 118 million rifles, 5 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 8 artillery pieces of various types on the front line. This is mainly because the Japanese army of more than one million was captured, so many weapons were not destroyed."

"These seized weapons and equipment will be sold to the Black Continent region after simple repairs at the military factory. All of these weapons and equipment have been ordered, and the total selling price is 12 billion star coins."

"Because they are mainly based on investment, the price of selling weapons is very low. Otherwise, if they were sold at international prices, it would exceed 2 billion. And it is precisely because of this friendly move that the various parties in Black Continent are willing to give 30% of their war resources to our Great Qin Empire to sell."

"As for precious metals, we seized 218 tons of gold and 1 tons of silver from the East, with a total value of 3 billion star coins. Because of the wartime gold, the price of gold is now skyrocketing. One gram of gold has risen from two dollars to six dollars now."

"As for currency, the total amount of currency seized from major banks in the Oriental Country reached 397 billion yen. However, after we bombed the Imperial City of Honshu Island in the Oriental Country, the Oriental Country's currency depreciated rapidly, from one US dollar to four Japanese yen to one US dollar to 20 Japanese yen. It is still depreciating now, so the 397 billion Japanese yen is equivalent to 19.85 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 39.7 billion star coins."

"As for the antiques and calligraphy from the Eastern Kingdom, they were all burned. The antiques and calligraphy from our Great Qin Empire are worth about 9000 million Star Coins. We have also taken over the international companies of the major consortiums in the Eastern Kingdom, with a total value of about 15 billion Star Coins."

"In total, the total value of the materials seized by our Frontline Material Clearance Department at the front line is 85.7 billion Star Coins, not including population and land. This cannot be estimated with numbers."

"There is also the industrial system. The equipment in the seven major arsenals on Miyazaki Island, as well as the equipment in various private factories on Miyazaki Island, etc. The total value of all of them is inestimable. The spoils that can be measured in numbers are these 85.7 billion star coins."

“It didn’t meet my expectations.”

Qin Lin paused and said, "I thought we could at least seize 200 billion star coins, but I didn't expect the currency of the Eastern Country to depreciate so much. But it's not a big deal. The population, land, and industrial equipment of the Eastern Country are the most important and the bulk. As long as we have these, we won't suffer any loss."

It can be said that Qin Lin is now extremely rich. Not to mention his personal account, he has 288 billion in deposits in the four major banks. In addition to this year's tax revenue from the Qin Empire, the profits of the Dongsheng Group, and the materials seized from the front line, the total amount of money has reached an astronomical figure of 1839 billion.

You should know that this year the total tax revenue of the United States is 1466 billion star coins, the total tax revenue of the United States is 600 billion star coins, the total tax revenue of St. Petersburg is 477 billion star coins, and the Qinglong Kingdom is only 408 billion star coins. Compared with the more than 1800 billion in Qin Lin's hands, only the United States is enough.

But Qin Lin believed that if the Great Qin Empire was given another three to five years, the total income of this country would not be able to catch up with that of the Great Qin Empire.

Once we have money, the key question is how to use it.

In fact, not much money was spent on the front-line war, because the cost of attacking Miyazaki Island was about 35 billion, but the money seized from taking Miyazaki Island was as high as more than 80 billion, and this does not include real estate, otherwise it would exceed 300 billion.

So even though the front line consumes 30 tons of ammunition a day, as long as we can capture Honshu Island, the largest island in the Oriental Country, this consumption is far from enough compared to Honshu Island.

Not to mention, there are strategic materials in the East Asian country, such as oil and minerals, which have not yet been counted. Once they are counted, it will be a considerable amount.
