"Brother Changshou, let's not think about this issue now, okay? Moving the capital is very expensive, we have recovered such a large place, everything is in ruins, now everything should be based on stability, let's first let the people eat enough and then consider these problems, do you think it's okay? Luo Jian thought about it for a moment and said to Zhu Yujian.

"Oh, Xinghua, that's what you think." Zhu Yujian said with some disappointment.

Zhu Yujian saw that Luo Jian didn't want to talk about this topic, so he said goodbye and left.

"Weisheng, you're a busy man, why are you free to come over today?"

Lu Wei's position was not high, and he waited until everyone congratulated Luo Jian and left in a cold noise, and then stood up from the corner.

"Governor, I won't say anything like congratulations, everyone has said enough. I came to you today to talk to you about Japan. Lu Wei's face was a little serious, and Luo Jian estimated that something must have happened in Japan that was not conducive to China.

"Come, Weisheng, let's not rush, let's talk slowly." Luo Jian beckoned Lu Wei to sit down.

"Metropolitan Governor, in the past six months, I have been to Japan several times with caravans, and Japan has changed a lot." After Lu Wei sat down, he said to Luo Jian with some concern.

Luo Jian didn't interrupt Lu Wei's words, and motioned for him to continue.

"Metropolitan Governor, you didn't find the defected workshop director Mao Yushi in Beijing this time, right?" Lu Wei said.

"Oh? You didn't remind me that I had forgotten about it. Weisheng, was this guy gotten by Japan? Luo Jian asked in surprise.

"No, I heard that Japan bought it from the Manchu court through Korea for 200,000 taels of silver, and he arrived in Japan half a year ago. If it weren't for the fact that one of my entourage happened to see him in Edo. I don't know about it. Lu Wei said.

"Weisheng. A rain stone is not a concern for us, but we must make representations to the Japanese shogunate as soon as possible and get them to send this guy back to us. Luo Jian didn't care much about a workshop director.

"Governor, I also know that a rain stone is not to be feared, but there are some situations that should be taken seriously. In the past, our caravans went to Japan, and although we had a treaty with them first, they were very reluctant and tried their best to make it difficult for us. But the last few caravans have arrived, and they have all agreed to whatever they asked. Lu Wei took a sip of water and continued.

"Oh? Wei Sheng, tell me what you think. Luo Jian was very happy that Lu Wei could think like this.

"I just think that Japan's attitude has become a little too big, and it is only through many people that I have learned about the situation and realized that some major changes are brewing in the Japanese shogunate, and the center of it is to learn the science and technology that we propose. Not long ago, they asked our caravan to bring back a few hundred students, but I thought about it for a long time and didn't agree. ”

"Of course you can't promise them, Weisheng, you're doing the right thing!" Luo Jian said.

Once the international students come too much. There will always be some people who will gradually integrate into China, and the race is the same. When the time comes, he will have a Chinese name, and it will be impossible to tell which country he is from, and at that time it will be extremely difficult to keep some key technologies secret.

"The Metropolitan Governor, but some people in our government seem to have agreed to them, as for how the Japanese found them, I don't dare to speculate on this, but I hope that the Metropolitan Governor will pay attention." Lu Wei said this very solemnly.

"For this neighbor of ours, we are cautious and have to be guarded!" Luo Jian said.

In fact, the question reminded by Lu Wei has already made Luo Jian a little frightened, it seems that the Japanese have bought off a few people in the government, and this has to be investigated by Lai Fu.

"Later, I heard in Japan that they had sent students to Europa, which is what the Metropolitan Governor usually calls many countries in Europe, and the Metropolitan Governor, this will not pose a threat to us for the time being, right?" Lu Wei continued.

"Not for the time being, but we have to pay close attention. Now that the national problems will be resolved very quickly, we will have the time and energy to deal with these matters at that time, and as for some of the problems within the government that you mentioned, I will pay attention to them. Luo Jian said.

"By the way, Weisheng, in addition to wanting to learn advanced technology, has the Japanese shogunate made any changes in their system?" Luo Jian remembered the Meiji Restoration that happened later, and then asked.

"Grand Duke, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Lu Wei was a little surprised.

"Weisheng, I mean do they have any thoughts in their country that they want their emperor to ********?" Luo Jian knew that the Meiji Restoration began with the overthrow of the shogunate and the emperor's ********.

"Not really, I think Tokugawa Iemitsu has tighter control over the emperor after we brought their emperor to Edo last time." Lu Wei thought for a moment before replying.

Lu Wei's statement did not put Luo Jian at ease, he didn't know if Japan would embark on another path of reform, but he couldn't let this evil neighbor become stronger, this is the basic principle, and he didn't hesitate to use war to stop its development when necessary.

"Dadu, it's not my villain's heart, I've been to Japan a lot, and I've had more contact with them, I don't think the Japanese are as humble as they seem to be, I think they're like poisonous snakes in winter, once the weather is warm, they will show their fangs and bite you hard." Lu Wei looked at Luo Jian and thought about it, and also thought for a while and said.

"Weisheng, your analogy is really apt, they are such a country and nation." Luo Jian was a little surprised by Lu Wei's feelings, it seems that the characteristics of a nation can be inherited, and Japan in the future is such a poisonous snake.

"Hehe, he's a hibernating viper, and we're not stupid farmers. Brother Weisheng, don't worry, our chief has a plan in his heart. Liu Weimin sat next to him just now and didn't speak, and when he heard Lu Wei talk about poisonous snakes, he said with a smile next to him.

"Hehe, hearing you say this, I'm relieved, it seems that I'm too worried." Lu Wei also said with a smile.

"Weisheng, you don't have to worry too much, it's not enough for you to have this kind of understanding alone, our government must have this kind of understanding." Luo Jian said very seriously.

As soon as he got to work the next day, Shi Kefa came to Luo Jian's office with a cup.

"Xinghua. There are some words you don't take to heart yesterday. I can't hide my words. When he opened his mouth, his heart was open. Shi Kefa spoke first.

"Brother Xian, what do you say? How can you care? Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Did Wei Sheng go to look for you last night?" Shi Kefa asked.

"yes, we've been talking for a long time."

"Alas, Wei Sheng also talked to me about his idea before, I think he is a little worried, it seems that you support his idea?"

"Of course, he thinks exactly the same as I think, how can I not support him?"

"Xinghua. I can't tell you about 500 years, so I know you're right, just do what you want, and I'll support you! Shi Kefa said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Xian, what 'know five hundred years', I can't say it anymore in the future, and if I continue to talk about it, I will become a god. History has been completely changed, and we have no control over which direction it will develop in the future. But we can do our things well, as long as we are strong. None of us are afraid! Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Xinghua, what you say is quite kingly! You can say that again. Shi Kefa said happily.

Shi Kefa walked to the world map hanging on the wall of his office with a cup, pointed to a large area of Siberia and asked, "Xinghua, you said that there are really treasures down here?" ”

"yes, what do I mean by lying to you?" Luo Jian pretended to be angry and said.

"Hehe, Xinghua, I went back last night and thought about it, we have to leave more family property for future generations, the family is big, and we won't suffer a loss if we fight with others in the future." Shi Kefa didn't seem to see Luo Jian's expression pretending to be angry, and said leisurely with a teacup.

"Xinghua, you're back, you're staying at home, I'm going to have to go far away." Shi Kefa didn't wait for Luo Jian to speak, and continued.

"Brother Xian, where are you going?" Luo Jian asked in surprise.

"To borrow the words of your Liulan, 'The world is so big, I want to go and see it', can't you?" Shi Kefa, who had untied the knot, was in a very good mood, and even joked with Luo Jian.

Luo Jian didn't know when Liu Lan told Shi Kefa about the words on the Internet in later generations, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud when Shi Kefa used them in this place.

"Xinghua, don't laugh, I'm serious. Now that Dingwei's army has advanced to Shaanxi, our government's work has to keep up, right? Now at home except for longevity, everyone else has been spent by me, Shaanxi has been unable to send manpower, I have to go in person, these years the people in these places are too bitter. Shi Kefa restrained the smile on his face and said solemnly.

Luo Jian knew that the northwestern provinces were originally the hardest hit areas by weather disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and later with Li Zicheng's rebellion, the military disasters continued year after year, and after the Manchu court occupied these places, the Nanjing government had begun to rise, and the Manchu court in order to fight against Nanjing, not only did not let these provinces get recuperation, but doubled their exploitation, and the poverty in these places can be imagined.

"Brother Xian, of course it's very good that you go on a trip in person, but I think that everything will be solved by us personally, and we can't solve it even if we have three heads and six arms, should we follow the example of Northeast China and Beijing, and also set up a Northwest Working Committee to focus on the post-war reconstruction of the Northwest provinces?" Luo Jian thought for a moment, and then said to Shi Kefa.

"That's later, my trip is to promote sweet potatoes and other high-yield crops first, so that the people can have something to eat first!" Shi Kefa said worriedly.

"Okay, how's the supplies going?" Luo Jian saw that Shi Kefa had made up his mind, and he didn't say more.

"It's being prepared, it's estimated that it will be about the same in a few days, and I also asked Cihuan to prepare a telegraph to get in touch with the northwestern provinces as soon as possible." Shi Kefa said.

"By the way, Xinghua, there is something I forgot to tell you, a few days ago when you were on the road, the Korean State sent an envoy, saying that it was to congratulate us on defeating the Manchu court, so that they would no longer be oppressed by the Manchus, and then they said that they actually proposed to restore the border division of the Yuan Dynasty, and I ignored them." Shi Kefa patted his head and continued.

Luo Jian, who has read history, knows that the border between the Yuan Dynasty and North Korea is probably in the area of the current Tieling, and if it is really drawn like this, millions of square kilometers of land will be gone.

"Hehe, they're joking, right?" Luo Jian said with a smile.

"They said that it was the Ming Dynasty court that bullied the small and occupied their land, and our Nanjing government should return it to them." Shi Kefa said. (To be continued.) )
