ww.x.om Taira Qiumori was very careful to conceal it - or thought he was concealing his ambition, which was equivalent to that of Japan's new generation of shoguns. [Read the latest chapter] So he has always tried his best to appear as an "otaku culture enthusiast".
Deep in his heart, he very much hopes to preserve the traditional Japanese culture and language and let Japan continue on its original historical path - it is best to go all the way to Taisho, and then directly enter the very loving Heisei. The Showa spirit and so on are simply gone.
But he never dared to mention this idea to anyone, as it was somewhat "politically incorrect". It was difficult for Ping Qiu Sheng to figure out the Senate's attitude towards Japan: it was neither a straightforward "Chineseization" as it was towards North Korea and Vietnam, nor was it an unhesitating "final solution" as it was towards Southeast Asia - it was an ambiguous one. The feeling of love and hate.
Now, the fate of Japan rests in my hands.
It was with such complicated thoughts that Ping Qiusheng boarded the transport ship to Jeju Island.
The transport ship is a h800 Harmony ship: "home delivery". Although this ship is not the majestic Type 854 or Type 901 steam battleship, and is slightly lacking in speed, the actual displacement of the ship with a load capacity of 800 tons is 1,400 tons, which is only slightly smaller than the full load displacement of the 854.
The larger the ship, the less bumpy it is to ride on. Therefore, in addition to navy veterans and those in urgent need, most veterans who go to Hong Kong, Jeju and Taiwan on business trips first choose to take h800. Larger hulls can also be equipped with better accommodation cabins: A "premium box" with a soft-seat layout similar to that of a train is arranged in the stern cabin.
There were two other elders who went to Jeju Island at the same time as Heping Qiusheng. They are Huang Hua, who is preparing to start a war against Houjin trade, and Li Yaoer, who is from the Agricultural Committee.
Huang Hua has been "on standby" since graduating from the intelligence training class - that is, continuing to work at the Machinery Factory. Go to the Intelligence Bureau every week to report, chat and listen to lectures. In the terminology of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, it is called "huitang", which means that you will not forget the training content after a long time.
He has been waiting like this for more than a year. He has watched Jeju Island fall for a long time, and the Dengzhou Rebellion is about to come to an end. The overseas assignment is still far away, and he is disappointed. The assignment was suddenly given - to go to Jeju Island on a ship first, and then wait for an opportunity to enter the Qing Dynasty's territory to carry out trade and intelligence work.
This strong man from Heilongjiang was in a state of excitement right now. He often stood on the deck and looked at the sea. From time to time he looked up to the sky and roared. He was very ambitious and wanted to make achievements in the wilderness, and even said that he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for it.
Li Yaoer seemed both excited and nervous. Ping Qiusheng saw that she had an upright and gentle appearance. Although she looked like she was in her twenties, she still spoke like a bouncing little girl. I don’t know why Wu Nanhai sent such a girl to Jeju Island.
The journey was long and boring. Ping Qiusheng chatted with her and found out that she originally worked at the Finance Department and was an accountant in the finance department, but she was not interested in accounting. On the contrary, I have a strong interest in gardening and love cooking. He applied to be transferred to the Committee of Agriculture - it happened that the Wudaokou system was vigorously promoting monetary settlement, and all departments needed full-time accountants, so Li Yaoer was officially transferred to the Committee of Agriculture as the chief accountant.
Although she still worked as an accountant when she got to the Agricultural Committee, and as soon as she took office, she had to clear out the accounts over the years, and then there were countless accountings to do, but at least she was in a place that interested her, and she pushed away from the office of the Agricultural Committee. The window, outside the window, is a beautiful garden with flowers blooming in all seasons: full of various herbs, herbs and flowers.
Work here. It is much better than the cold Bauhaus-style office building full of "industrial beauty" in the financial department. In her spare time, she can also garden with several people who love gardening, such as Wu Chuqing, Liu San and his apprentice Fu Wuben, and live a very fulfilling life. So they started clamoring to live in the agricultural committee apartment on the farm.
Li Yao'er's husband, Mei Fa, works at the Work Energy Commission. After living on the farm, the distance to work is too far. After the couple negotiated for a day and night, Li Yaoer finally reached an agreement on the condition that the number of maids her husband could purchase was increased from two to four. So the couple moved out of the apartment in Bairen New City and moved into the apartment of the Agriculture Committee.
"I didn't expect you to be so generous." Ping Qiusheng heard and sighed during the chat. Allowing the purchase of maids is good enough, but also allowing the purchase of four!
"I told him at the beginning that as long as the priorities are clear, I won't care. But a maid is a maid, and you are not allowed to take concubines officially!" Li Yao'er said nonchalantly, "Anyway, any maid would dare to do anything wrong. Just thinking about it, I could kill her with just one finger." A cold smile appeared on the corner of her sweet and lovely smile, which made Ping Qiucheng's neck go cold and he realized that what she said was definitely not a joke.
"Besides. Even if I firmly disagree, if he really wants to do this, can I stop him?" Li Yao'er said, "This is the virtue of a man! Liu San dumped his wife directly - Rather than carrying this reputation and then being dumped, it would be better to open it up with conditions and make it much more controllable.”
Li Yaoer's theory made Ping Qiu Sheng speechless. He changed the topic, "What are you going to do in Jeju?" Ping Qiusheng was very curious about this.
"To develop ginseng resources." Li Yaoer said, "I am very interested in ginseng and have learned a lot of professional knowledge. Isn't the specialty of North Korea and Liaodong ginseng."
Then she talked endlessly about all kinds of knowledge about the identification, cultivation and extraction of ginseng - it was very unpopular, and I don't know how a girl who studied accounting could like this kind of knowledge.
"The conditions on Jeju Island are quite difficult."
"It doesn't matter, I like to travel by nature and I'm not afraid of hardship. I probably inherited my father's adventurous genes." Li Yao'er said urgently and quickly, "I used to be a senior travel enthusiast and have been to many barren mountains and ridges."
She stood up excitedly as she spoke: "I am so excited when I think that there are still many great places and places in this time and space that have not been polluted or modified by humans!"
The convoy briefly anchored in Kaohsiung, replenished water, unloaded another batch of cargo, and then sailed to Jeju Island. Finally, it successfully sailed into Chaocheonpo Pier in early June.
After Ping Qiusheng landed ashore, he immediately began to prepare plans for his trip to Japan.
Developing trade with Japan is a policy that has been set by the Senate long ago. In the past, due to the lack of a suitable departure port and concerns about the strength of Zheng Zhilong, Liu Xiang and the Dutch, this trade has not been carried out. Now that Jeju Island has been obtained, the Dutch are considered half allies. The forces of Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang are tightly constraining each other. Our naval strength has also increased significantly. It is time to officially take action - the Works and Energy Commission and the Financial and Economic Affairs Commission against Japan. The silver and copper have long been coveted.
The instruction given to him by Skade was that in addition to trying to develop trade with Japan, he should also conduct certain penetration work into Japanese society, establish a trade and intelligence network, and collect intelligence. Be prepared for the next step in dealing with Japan.
"It's not enough to just open a business store in Hirado. The shogunate is also very suspicious of the Chinese." Skade said, "Originally, the Chinese could rent and live in Japanese residential areas in Hirado, but that was later banned. . If we just open a business store, we will be no different from the foreigners in the 13th Bank of Guangzhou."
Skade originally wanted him to search for food in Japan to supply the refugee camps on Jeju Island, but Ping Qiusheng thought this was impossible. The entire northern part of the East Asian continent in this time and space has been affected by the Little Glacier climate. The grain production in the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, and Japan has been reduced year after year, so he said at the time that this was impossible - even if he could get some food prices It won't be cheap, and whether the shogunate can allow exports is still a question.
Fortunately, since the Agriculture Committee sent Wan Lihui to Jeju Island to plant potatoes, Jeju Island's food supply should be relieved soon. This matter is no longer an urgent matter.
For trade with Japan, Ping Qiusheng believes that it is unreliable to rely on exporting goods from Lingao - Lingao's industrial products are themselves limited by production capacity, and they consume a lot of money for their own use. In addition, they need to travel thousands of miles north, and the cost is high. This became unacceptable. It is the most ideal way to purchase various commodities and export them to Japan through Shanghai Station in Jiangnan. After all, these products have been popular in Japan for a long time. A simple processing industry can also be established in Jeju Island to manufacture some primary Australian goods to open up the Japanese market.
As for trade with North Korea, his idea was to exchange the patent medicines brought from Lingao for North Korean ginseng and kapok cloth. North Korea in this time and space does not have much spending power, but a large number of medicines, including the antifreeze cream developed by Lingao, are still very popular in the north. Ginseng was a popular commodity in Japan and the Ming Dynasty, and kapok cloth was a major trade item between Japan and North Korea - Japan had a huge demand for textiles at that time.
Ping Qiusheng submitted a report to the Executive Committee, suggesting that the trade of Jian slaves should also focus on such items. Firstly, there was no shortage of silver for Jiannu slaves. Secondly, Huang Taiji was very resistant to the trade in luxury goods. But no matter what the policies of these countries are, medicines are always needed. Especially for this kind of bandit-like regime that is militaristic and whose economy is based on war and robbery, the demand for red medicine is particularly huge. If you want to exchange for the population of Liaodong and cannot produce large-scale food, patent medicine becomes a very good product.
The raw materials for patent medicines can be obtained directly from North Korea or imported from Ming Dynasty - the advantage of Jeju Island is that it is very close to North Korea, Japan and Ming Dynasty. Some lower-cost drugs can be manufactured in Jeju Island.
On the trade route, although the route from Shanghai to Hirado is fast and convenient, with the addition of Jeju Island as a superior transfer station, the trade route has a variety of choices, and a certain degree of triangular trade can be carried out.
