"My lord, the imperial court said that if the Japanese want to get some cheap, give them some money, and it will not be good to cause a diplomatic conflict. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The attitude of the imperial court was as calm as ever.

"Not this time, tell the imperial court, about the railway, let the Japanese come and talk to me slowly. Insist that this is a commercial practice, and if the Japanese need a concession, it must also be done in a commercial form. ”

Yang Chao said to Zhang Nian.

Japan did suffer a lot.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan received a large number of war reparations, but most importantly, it stifled China's industrial development, they monopolized the resources of the East, and industry began to develop rapidly, starting a wave of industrial chao, and in the next five years, the Japanese basically completed the industrial revolution.

However, Japan was small, the scale of industry was small, and farmers still accounted for more than half of the population, and the industrial revolution was very incomplete, because Japanese industry was prematurely conglomerated, which limited competition.

So in 1900 there was an economic crisis, after the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan started a round of military expansion, a large number of military enterprises led out of the economic crisis, although the Russo-Japanese War cost a lot, but also to provide a lot of opportunities for Japanese manufacturing enterprises, borrowed three billion yen, the vast majority of the domestic consortium under the factory.

Therefore, although the Russo-Japanese War was very expensive, after the war the Japanese began a new round of economic expansion, because the zaibatsu made huge profits and had the capital to invest.

However, unlike the original history, in this Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese spent more, but gained less, only got one Korea, did not carve up half of the Northeast, and the war dragged on for several months, and Japanese companies had just completed their expansion, and suddenly they were hit by the economic crisis from the United States.

The United States is the largest market for Japan's textile industry, and under the economic crisis in the United States, Japan's largest export industry was hit first, factories began to close, and workers began to lose their jobs. As a result, Japan's tax revenue has decreased, and tax revenue has decreased, but the debt has not decreased, and this is the most important thing.

Japan owed a huge amount of debt in the Russo-Japanese War, and the annual interest was as high as more than 100 million taels of silver, and it was obviously impossible to withdraw these funds from taxes, and the Japanese way was to borrow new debts to repay old debts, but the United States under the influence of the economic crisis, no one subscribed to bonds at all, and the Japanese had no financing channels, so they could only pay interest from taxes, and under the economic crisis, taxes were reduced on a large scale, and taxes were reduced, and expenditures had to be increased, and the pressure from the people to the government was very great.

It is impossible for the Japanese to declare the government bankrupt, and they do not dare to let European and American creditors take over their government, so they can only try to solve the economic crisis.

With the development of the railway, the Chinese market is connecting the city step by step as a whole, the market is slowly expanding, the potential is huge, the Japanese value the Chinese market is not a day or two, but Yang Chao's railway concessions, so that the expansion of the market, mainly occupied by Chinese enterprises.

This makes it difficult for the Japanese in the economic crisis to accept, and they even do not hesitate to threaten with force, of course, they also have the opportunity to distract their domestic attention, even if they really fight a war, it is also a way to solve the economic crisis, and the Japanese really do not hesitate to fight a war.

But the Qing government is afraid, Kangliang Group has been busy with political disputes and reforms in the past two years, and has introduced a lot of new policies, full of thought that they are on the right path, where dare the Japanese interrupt them, so let Yang Chao calm down.

"Japanese industry needs a market, but Chinese industry doesn't need it?"

Although the economic crisis has not affected China, it also proves one thing, Japan has completed the industrial revolution, China is still an agrarian economy, and it is not affected by the economic crisis, that is because you are not closely connected with the world economy at all.

And not only Japan, but also Japan, the crisis has affected many countries, and Germany, Britain, and France are all trying to dump goods into their colonies.

The crisis even exacerbated the contradictions between Britain and Germany, France and Germany, and sowed the seeds of the First World War.

The key is not Japan, once it compromises with Japan, these wild wolves of Britain, the United States and Germany will pounce and bite together, and China's industry now has small arms and legs, where can it withstand it.

"Li Sidi, how is our newspaper?"

Yang Chao immediately called Li Sidi, Li Sidi was busy dealing with a group of national capitalists during this time, these capitalists were also frightened by the financial crisis, for a time the price of cotton rose, but the price of cotton yarn fell sharply, and under the price upside down, one by one began to lose money.

Losing money is not a problem, the problem is that the capital chain is broken, Yang Chao asked Li Sidi to withdraw 30 million special funds from the bank to issue interest-free loans to these capitalists, so that they can survive this difficult time, those chaebols in Japan have the support of the government, and these Chinese enterprises can only rely on Yang Chao.

"My lord, I'm almost ready."

"Then print it out as soon as possible, it's not appropriate in my name. Ask Zhang Jian if he dares to take responsibility, and if he does, he will use his name to send out this article. ”

Yang Chao wrote a special article to analyze the significance of the development of domestic products to the country and called on Chinese people to use domestic products.

In these years, the people are really very passionate, saying that if you don't use Japanese goods, you won't need Japanese goods, at least in a short time, you can make Japanese goods unsalable for more than a few percent.

Yang Chao felt that the economic crisis had not dealt enough blows to Japanese industry, and that he not only did not allow Japan to share the Chinese market, but also made the difficulties of the Japanese a little worse.

Historically, this crisis has brought Japan's economy to a standstill for three years, until the outbreak of the world war, when the Japanese people have eased up, and industrial development is also competition, and often only one country in a region completes industrialization first.

This is like when Beijing developed strongly, the surrounding Langfang and Hebei cities were almost sucked dry, because Beijing absorbed all the capital and talents, forming a black hole of capital and talents, and the surrounding areas could not get opportunities at all, and they could only be radiated after Beijing developed.

Fortunately, it is not the same country as Japan, so there is still a chance for China to be closed.

Then how can they open their own treasures and let the Japanese grab them at will and turn them into nutrients for Japanese industry?

Zhang Jian quickly agreed to use his name, and Zhang Jian's appeal was still very strong, especially in the Jiangnan area.

As a result, the people have not yet begun to act, and businessmen in Shanghai and other places have taken action first and began to stop purchasing Japanese goods.

In less than 10 days, Japanese products were unsubscribed and terminated 30% of orders.

"By the way, why do you have to do this, you have to twist it into a rope!"

Seeing this effect, Yang Chao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Then send it, let the celebrities post an article, Zhang Jianhou is not like the Rong brothers. Are there still big compradors like the Xi family, they mainly rely on Westerners, not Japanese. Let these compradors unite to resist, their energy is beyond imagination. ”

Yang Chao knows that up to now, many compradors have actually been able to balance foreigners and foreign banks, and many industries have entered Shanghai, without the hands of these compradors, it cannot be developed, for example, the Xi family has acted as an agent for the largest banking business in the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan and other countries, and these banks cannot gain a foothold in Shanghai without going through the Xi family.

"At war? Now that we are a harmonious society, we should not keep our eyes shut about war, and if we talk too much about the military, it will affect Japan's international image, and it will not be good to be regarded as a barbarian. ”

In the face of the hysterical Japanese consul, Yang Chao was calm and calm, and even seemed a little weak-hearted, just like ordinary Chinese officials, he had no confidence.

The Japanese consul Tsuunosuke Kawaguchi is only a clerk, acting consul, he is still very young, not yet thirty years old, so he has an urgent self-motivation, diligent and serious work, this is a national in the rising period of performance, the Chinese of later generations are also like this, nothing can criticize the Europeans for being lazy, and in this era Europeans say that the Chinese are lazy all day long.

This Japanese consul is temporarily responsible for negotiating with Yang Chao.

"Your ban on the import of Great Japanese goods has greatly affected the interests of the Great Japanese Empire, and you have to pay for it. You are also creating anti-Japanese public opinion in the country, which is a serious offense to the Japanese Empire, and you must apologize for it. ”

Kawaguchi used the awkward Shandong dialect, two words, two words jumping.

"Kawaguchi, everyone is a civilized person, and they are responsible for what they say. Where have we banned the import of Japanese goods, I think you know more about Yantai's import and export trade than I do. This year's import value is more than 34 million taels, of which more than 23 million taels are imported and 10 million taels are exported. ”

"Yantai's industrial products are mainly imported from textiles, while Japan's cotton yarn maintains an absolute dominant position, and last year's imports of Japanese yarn accounted for 80% of Yantai's cotton yarn imports. Natural color cloth 177362 anti (one anti = 10.6 meters) increased by more than 11,643 anti compared with the previous year, fine grey cloth 344,870 anti, an increase of 11,643 anti over the previous year, cotton twill 77,734 anti, an increase of 5,000 anti over the previous year, denim twill 81,382 anti, 6,620 more anti, standard cloth 93,598 anti, a decrease of 11,166 anti. 21,849 yards of Japanese cotton, 7,700 yards less than the year before. 5,620 reverses, a decrease of 900 yards from the previous year; 40,307 handkerchiefs, a decrease of 23,578 from the previous year, including 14,569 dozen from Japan; 49,481 quintals of cotton yarn, an increase of 14,401 quintals over the previous year, of which 39,000 quintals were made in Japan, an increase of 14,000 quintals over the previous year......"

Yang Chao opened his mouth and read out a lot of data, memorizing data reports, which is his strength.

Kawaguchi was already stunned.

"Need more data, Mr. Kawaguchi?"

Yang Chao leaned back on the chair all of a sudden, and his momentum suddenly rose.

"I admit that Japan's imports have been greatly affected this year, but this is the impact of the international economic crisis, and I hope that the Japanese will not put the blame on China. If you're just making excuses for war, you're successful. If you're just talking about business, I have to say your excuses are too clumsy. Do you think it is in Japan's interest to be hostile to China, which is the most promising market for Japanese goods, and is likely to surpass the U.S. market in the next three years? ”

Yang Chao asked rhetorically. The young Kawaguchi no longer had the ability to argue, and if he had been an eloquent man, he would not have threatened war in the first place.

"So, I think you should try to convince the Japanese government, there will be difficulties, this year our soybean meal, silk exports are also very sluggish, and these importing countries are all Japan, can I propose that the Japanese government refuse to import Shandong goods?"

Yang Chao said to Kawaguchi.
