Chapter 232: Indemnity and Land Cession (Part II)

"We don't want ordinary workers, but at least those who have completed primary school, otherwise it will take too much time and cost to train skilled workers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info", Tang Shaoyi said this, Sheng Haizhou understood, compared with China, where even scholars have only received old-style education, although Japan has not yet established a free compulsory education system, at least Westernized education has a history of more than 30 years, and there are many more qualified young adults than China.

After learning more about the details and realizing that this is actually China's money to pay for teachers and job opportunities to help Japan cultivate technical talents, Sheng Haizhou immediately nodded and agreed, joking, where to find such a good thing? Then he realized that he had forgotten to make a counteroffer, and he was worried that the Chinese side would set a trap in the specific terms, so he immediately pretended to be just a joke and talked about it from the beginning, and Tang Shaoyi, who once thought that the matter had been negotiated, hated it so much that he really wanted to pounce on this old thing and slap this old thing twice......

"Sure enough, as long as you don't sign it, you won't count." , Li Hui made such an exclamation after learning about this from the biochemical soldiers who participated in the negotiations, but he didn't take it to heart, it is the key to let the troops of the regiment and three battalions land on Japanese soil as soon as possible, the current negotiations are just to test each other's bottom line, the real negotiation still has to wait until the Japanese have seen China's current strength before starting better, Yuan Shikai Tuguang The Third Division was very happy, but there were not a few witnesses, but it failed to produce enough deterrence, It was only then that Li Hui understood why most of the prisoner killings in history would be left alive and put back, but it was not because of mercy......

Listen to Tang Shaoyi say, "The more the merrier, and the women too." After that, Sheng Haizhou couldn't help but be a little worried, and at the same time curious about how to solve the language problem.

"Mr. Haizhou can rest assured, there are many cadres in our party who can speak Japanese, of course, if the workers can speak Chinese, then it is naturally the best, such workers can pay double the salary and labor dispatch fees, and the same is true for self-study to meet the requirements." , Tang Shaoyi's answer made Sheng Haizhou very surprised and a little relieved, "No wonder they are so pervasive in Japan's intelligence work?" It turns out that there are so many people who are proficient in Japanese, and from this point of view, I am afraid that this Datong Party has been planning in East Asia for a long time......"

The standard of labor dispatch fee set by the Chinese side is 5 yuan per person per year, which is equivalent to more than 4 taels of Kuping silver at the official exchange rate set by the Datong Party, which is more than the per capita tax that the Japanese government can receive from each citizen (although considering that the output of the industrialized population is much higher than that of the agricultural population, it is actually still inferior). ), but the corresponding expenses are exempted, and this condition is really too generous.

Although Sheng Haizhou now knows that the "yuan" issued by the Chinese Datong Party does not use the precious metal standard, and the so-called official exchange rate is only for reference and cannot actually be counted, since the Chinese side has said that it can convert the Chinese yuan into silver taels at the official exchange rate to offset the indemnity, it is no different from taking silver. What's more, in addition to the "labor dispatch fee", in the future, the remittances sent back to China by those workers in China will also become an additional source of income for the Japanese government.

Speaking of which, Sheng Haizhou is actually very interested in China's current monetary system, and without gold and silver as reserves, it can still ensure the basic stability of prices, how is this done? Katsu Haishu was eager to understand the mystery and bring it back to Japan, because there was no more suitable monetary system for Japan today.

Due to the fact that the Chinese Navy continued to blockade Japan after the Battle of Dadonggou, the prices of goods in Japan have risen several times compared with before the war.

Even if it can cease war with China, due to the reparations and its own financial resources, the Japanese government will still face the problem of lacking precious metals to maintain the credit of the yen for a long time, although Katsu Haizhou does not know what the Chinese are doing, but just not relying on precious metals has great reference value.

It's just that the peace talks are the top priority now, and the matter of China's monetary system can only be asked after the alliance between the two countries is concluded.

Labor dispatch is an unexpected surprise, but it is not without its hidden dangers, and Katsu Kaishu is not worried about the shortage of labor in Japan, where the unemployment rate is currently high. Of course, those capitalists will definitely be dissatisfied if they can't arbitrarily lower their wages anymore, but Sheng Haizhou has been a marginal figure all these years, and no chaebol has invested in him, so he won't take their reaction to heart.

What Sheng Haizhou really worries about is that the labor dispatch is entirely under the auspices of the Chinese side, including the right to dismiss workers, is in the hands of the Chinese, and if the Japanese government becomes dependent on this income, and then China suddenly lays off a large number of Japanese laborers, the impact will be fatal. However, in this regard, the Chinese refused to give in at all, insisting on the overlord clause that they could dismiss at any time and that the Japanese side could not break the contract.

After thinking about it, Sheng Haizhou decided to talk about the issue of land cession first, because Li Hui had made it clear before, he knew that Japan would definitely not be able to pass the test if it did not cut a little bit this time, but it would be better to have less or less. Even if China had to cede so much land, it would be better than nothing if it could give some economic compensation and reduce the pressure of reparations.

"We should indeed be punished for making a big mistake, but Hokkaido is the second largest island in Japan, so this punishment is too heavy, and I hope that your country will raise your noble hand and be lenient for ......", Katsu Haishu squeezed out a little muddy old tears and begged at the desk, and his superb acting skills made Fukushima Yasumasa on the side sigh to himself.

Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and replied, "Indeed, Hokkaido is a little bigger, so change it to a smaller one?" Mr. Haizhou, do you think Kyushu Island is better, or Shikoku Island? ”

Katsu Haizhou hurriedly refused, what are you kidding, although Hokkaido is very large, but the climate is bitterly cold, sparsely populated, and its actual value is not as good as any prefecture on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island...... (To be continued.) )
