Japan's ambassador to the United States, Ichitoro, sat at a table and talked with several American businessmen who had come on a mission to attend the Dahlia Textile Company's press conference.

In 1910, Japan's total import and export volume was as high as 41% of the total value of industrial and agricultural production. After all, as an island country, Japan's dependence on foreign trade is quite high, and the industrial revolution "almost all the machinery and equipment needed depends on imports", not to mention that most of the military expansion in the First Sino-Japanese War and Japan and Russia basically rely on imports.

Therefore, although Japan's imports and exports expanded by 4.9 times in the 20 years from 1894 to 1914, the cumulative surplus was as high as 920 million yen, and how to overcome the huge deficit in foreign trade has become the "first major issue" facing Japan.

Raw silk is the life and death line of Japan's foreign trade, and whoever wants to move this big cake, Japan has no other way to choose except to engage in an endless war with it.

The United States is Japan's largest exporter of raw silk, and exports have more than doubled since 1911.

As soon as Lang learned from the newspaper that the Dahlia Silk Fabric Company intended to invest in the construction of the world's largest silk fabric factory, he immediately found information and analyzed that the Dahlia Silk Fabric Company would need a large amount of raw silk. While sending a report to the country, he asked someone to find a ticket for the press conference of Dahlia Silk Fabric Company.

When he heard Victor say that the price of raw silk would definitely rise, he concluded that the Dahlia Silk Fabric Company would buy a large amount of raw silk, and Japan's foreign exchange earnings would benefit a lot. He couldn't wait to stand up and shout loudly, Mr. Victor, your raw silk is all inclusive in Japan, as long as the price is reasonable.

This time, Lang put his hand on the table and tapped nervously, and the sound of tapping caused dissatisfaction among the people around him. He was thinking that Dahlia Silk Fabric Company's investment in such a large factory must require the other party to provide a stable supply of goods.

He heard Victor tell reporters that the Dahlia Silk Textile Company has encircled more than 10,000 acres of land in Los Angeles and is about to start building a large-scale factory, with an annual output equivalent to 20% of the current global annual output.

Ichijo finally stood up and greeted Victor, who was talking.

"Mr. Victor, I am the Minister of Japan to the United States."

After a period of dedicated work, Victor knew that Japan's domestic raw silk production accounted for half of the world's supply, and he also knew that Helen's ancestral home was Japan, and he warmly held Ichitoro's hand with both hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Minister, for attending our company's press conference."

"Mr. Victor, I'd like to make an appointment with you to talk about the supply of raw silk."

"Looking forward to this meeting, this is my business card." Victor handed over the hot stamping business card with both hands.

Wang Changhui was busy during this time, and dozens of governors, factory owners, and chamber of commerce inspection groups visited all walks of life in the United States, and she was the interpreter and leader of the administrative delegation.

The governors in China are confused about the administrative structure of the United States, which is a federal country, in fact, a country composed of 50 countries, so the laws and administrative hierarchies of each state are completely different, so outsiders will feel very confused, but in fact, they themselves are also confused.

At the national level, there are two levels of administration, federal and state, which are provided for in the Constitution. The constitution does not care about the administrative hierarchy below the state, and it is up to you to divide each state by itself.

At the state level, the administrative hierarchy is a mess. Some states are state-county-county-city-town, while others are state-county-city-district. And if it's just like that, forget it, according to the reason, the county is larger than the city, and some cities are particularly large, such as New York, where a city spans the territory of several counties, and the city also has districts, and the level of the city and the county cannot be calculated.

The Governor's delegation was interested in community power in the United States. The idea of community autonomy in the United States has a long history, and its community organizations have developed rapidly, and public services such as community development, job training, family services, and community clinics have enriched and improved public services in spaces where the government cannot intervene in legislation.

The other is non-profit development. The social intermediary organizations have developed rapidly and their systems are relatively mature, and they play an important role in some affairs that the government cannot manage and cannot manage well, greatly enhancing the government's work efficiency and reducing the occurrence of corruption.

Wang Changhui played with Carrotta's usual words, and the local government in the United States is, to put it bluntly, a service-oriented organization that serves the people in the jurisdiction. Decentralization to society. This is embodied in deregulation, the transfer of some public utilities undertaken by the government to the market, and the granting of private enterprises access to public services previously monopolized by local governments or the sale of public assets to private operators

The bureaucratic mentality has been subverted, and more tools and methods in enterprise management have been introduced, such as strengthening competition between public and private sector enterprises, and strengthening the sense of competition among government employees. Corporatization is mainly manifested in the organizational structure of local governments in the United States, which is mainly based on the corporate governance structure of enterprises. This organizational structure focuses on the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization, focusing on low input and high output, and providing high-quality services while keeping taxes low.

Wang Changhui's dissection gave these officials a purpose, and the improvement of the legal system gave these people a vivid lesson. One of the members' passport was stolen at the same time as the police were on the street to check his documents and was taken to a detention center by the police because he could not provide valid proof.

Wang Changhui and more than 30 governors immediately contacted the consulate and the Chicago Police Department through Corotta. When they visited the detained governors, the head of the police station said that there was nothing they could do because they had no right to interfere in such cases and to wait for the court to decide.

The person in charge of the police station could only guarantee that he would be treated fairly in the detention center, and that he had nothing else to do, and suggested that they immediately find a lawyer.

Wang Changhui contacted Chen Yongcheng, and soon the company's full-time lawyer rushed to the detention center, saying that after providing a guarantee, the summary procedure in the detention center was initiated, and the lawyer signed a $1,000 guarantee and was released.

The released governor was very drunk on the night he returned to the hotel, and he couldn't stop talking about why foreigners live like they were at home in China, no one checked their documents, no one controlled their behavior, and I, the governor, was actually imprisoned because he lost a passport.

Chen Yongcheng rushed to the hotel the next day to arrange for an American lawyer to give the delegation a lesson on American law. He said that there is no way to do it, who let us not even have a substantive reunification of the country, the former Qing Dynasty signed so many treaties that lost power and humiliated the country, you don't know how many Chinese were wronged and treated unfairly by the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States at the end of the last century, and only when the country is strong can its waist be straightened.

Chen Yongcheng said with a gloomy expression that everyone should not pay too much attention to this incident, but should devote their energy to studying the advanced administrative structure of the United States. Everyone eliminated all distractions and devoted themselves to the inspection and visit, after all, everyone had to write a piece of experience and hand it to the boss when they went back.

Instead of complaining about the world, it is better to do your job in a down-to-earth manner, as the boss said, sacrifice the happiness of our generation, so that our next generation can have a beautiful country.

If you don't come out, you don't know that as soon as you go abroad, you immediately feel that there is an insurmountable gap between your country and the advanced capitalist countries. Stay on your own land and think that you are the king of heaven, and everything you do is for the sake of the people. In retrospect, I can't be more wrong, and I can only serve the people instead of managing the people.

The afternoon tour was a court trial, and the case that could not have been coincidentally tried was the case of one of them who lost his passport.

In the summary court, a judge announced that the defendant would be invited to appear after reading out the circumstances and consequences of the case, and the commentator on the side told the delegation that in the United States, only the court can pronounce the verdict of guilt and innocence, and the police have no power.

The police only have the power to enforce and maintain law and order granted by law, and the people they arrest can only be regarded as suspects of violating the law, and they cannot be recognized as criminals without a verdict.

The lawyer submitted the documents of the consulate and the list of the visiting mission, and the invitation letter from the United States government. The judge verified the integrity of the documents and acquitted the governor in court and returned the bond on the spot.

After receiving the court's verdict, the group got into the car and rushed to the next stop to inspect the family farm. The establishment and consolidation of this farmland management model, which has always been dominated by family farms, has undergone complex changes in the farmland system. And because of the special background of the country of immigration, it shows a special development process.

Land property rights in the United States have always been based on a less complete system of private property rights. Nevertheless, because the U.S. government has clearly and transparently defined the rights and obligations of various actors in agricultural property rights through laws and institutional norms, this incomplete system of private land property rights has little impact on the establishment of a stable agricultural land property rights system, which is the basic institutional environment for the survival and development of family farms.

The development of agriculture is inseparable from a large amount of financial support, and agriculture is an industry with high risks, large investment and long cycles. In order to reduce the cost of credit, ensure that farmers can get loans when they need it, stabilize farmers' incomes and promote the steady growth of agriculture, the U.S. government has introduced a series of agricultural credit policies since the Agricultural Credit Act of 1916, in order to effectively alleviate the various financial pressures of family farmers.

The delegation was amazed at the productivity of American peasants, who roughly calculated that one peasant could feed three people a year, while one American farmer could feed 16 people, a difference of more than five times.

John, 32, and his wife, 29, are prime examples of a successful small family farm. The Bruhans own a 160-acre farm in Iowa, which has been cultivated for more than 100 years, but the cultivated layer is still a foot thick.

On 160 acres, the Johns grow 80 acres of corn, 35 acres of oats, and 35 acres of forage grass. The farm has two grain storage silos with crawler tractors.

The Johns also raised 300 hogs and 150 meat bulls. The Bughans also had many small animals, such as dogs, rabbits, ducks and skunks, and 12 cats, and the farm became a mini-zoo. John is in charge of raising pigs and cows, while Mrs. John is in charge of raising those cute little animals
