But then he thought about it and realized that it was obviously not a very realistic thing to ask the Japanese pirates to keep their feet on the ground and give the Qin Dynasty 70 million taels of silver every year.
Therefore, he could only settle for the second best and get back the money that he could see and touch first.
And that money was all the military funds spent by the Qin Dynasty since it went on the expedition.
Including pensions for soldiers killed in battle.
Heshen raised this money by reducing the annual tribute that Japan paid to Qin, and gave them a deadline of six months to raise it.
To be honest, if someone else came to negotiate with the Japanese pirates, I'm afraid they would stick to the 70 million taels of silver and never lower the price, let alone lower it by such a large amount.
Even if the Japanese pirates were only willing to give one third of the military funds spent by the Qin Dynasty on the expedition.
They will do the same.
Because they would never think about whether Japan could pay annual tribute to the Qin Dynasty truthfully every year.
Will there be any other troubles during this period?
And Heshen thought of it.
With his keen sense of money, he is destined to gain the highest benefits for Daqin in this negotiation.

After the enthronement ceremony, in the Japanese royal palace, the King of Japanese sighed deeply as he looked at the children playing in the hall.
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed behind him and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the princes are still young. Sending them to Qin will only bring disaster."
Upon hearing this, the Meiji King of Wa shook his head and said, "How could I not know this? But if we don't do this, how can we make Qin feel at ease?
I need time, you need time too, and Sakura Country needs time even more. I believe that as long as you give me ten or fifteen years,
I will definitely come back and bring all the orphaned children back home safely."
Hear the sound.
Tokugawa Ieyasu murmured in his heart: "I'm afraid that Qin will not give us Sakura Country so much time."
