Sitting in the café drinking coffee, Ye Zhao was still thinking about his strategy towards Russia at the beginning of next spring.

The environment of the café is quiet, with white tablecloths, green evergreen bonsai, and mahogany rosewood inlaid with luodian woodware, which is antique and full of charm.

The empire now has a variety of schools of thought, the "white-collar workers" living in the Equality Mansion are mostly influenced by new ideas, and some feminists feel that the group of wives and concubines is a decadent and backward system. If it is necessary to socialize, it is natural to bring a main room or a very favored concubine.

It is extremely rare for two wives like Ye Zhao to swagger through the market with bright eyes and beautiful postures, and looking at the intimacy of Wei Yue Yiori and Gul Xia Yier to Ye Zhao, it is natural to see the relationship between the three at a glance.

Someone in the café looked at Ye Zhao from time to time, naturally feeling that Ye Zhao and the three of them were incompatible with the atmosphere of the new life in this Equality Building, and some men's eyes were inevitably envious. Not to mention the exotic customs of the two beautiful dolls.

Last year's statistics, the number of immigrants from European, American and Oriental countries in the entire new urban area or the number of people living here is not less than 20,000, but the Beijing division still has strict control over immigrants and foreigners, and there are more foreigners in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Jinling and other cities, especially in Guangzhou and Shanghai, where the number of immigrants and foreigners living is not less than 100,000.

The proportion of foreigners in the satellite cities of Jingshi is more than that of wealthy businessmen such as Joseon and Yuben, and the central government of the empire strictly controls their naturalization, but there is no doubt that they like to come to Jingshi New City to enjoy modern life.

The Equality Building is home to a wealthy merchant who is also the only foreign tenant and a member of the Mitsui family, who is responsible for the issuance of the banknotes of the central government.

The Mitsui family rose from a hundred years ago, running a money bank and was also a daimyo royal merchant, and now it is said that the central government is intending to issue paper money, and the Hosokawa Shaobang, the head of the main government, chose the Mitsui family to be in charge of the government axe funds - the official bank cashier and exchange, and to prepare for the issuance of "Mitsui bills".

However, although Hosokawa Shaobang is the most powerful daimyo now, it is still not enough to centralize power enough to influence the entire Saimoto, and after the eradication of the Ezo Republic last year, Hosokawa Shaobang has not done much.

Now the empire is helping it to organize the "House of Lords", which is actually to bring the representatives of the various daimyo into the "House of Lords", so that the various forces can use the "House of Lords" as a body to coordinate their own interests and coordinate the operation of the entire country.

Under the pressure of the Chinese, the Daimyo of the Benben could only accept the reality of replacing the armed struggle with political struggle, and under the media reports of some pro-China media, many of them naturally thanked the Chinese for their policy of promoting peace in their own country; in fact, many of the new thinkers of the new class of the Benben showed a pro-China tendency, and gradually realized political reform, and with the help of the Chinese, abolished the privileges of the feudal class, which was the goal of these new bourgeois freemen.

The preparation of the "House of Lords" was, in the eyes of many people, a great political advance.

Of course, no one except Ye Zhao would have known about the earth-shaking changes that had taken place since the Meiji came to power, and they would never have known that China had actually hindered its development.

However, in the same way, Ye Zhao also made the fanatical trend of militarism such as Bushido Zhongjun not rise among the people, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for this nation.

Although the dazzling achievements of the country were all because their people were good at learning, in fact they all had their accidental surnames, and they began to risk economic bankruptcy to defeat the weakened Qing Dynasty in the First Sino-Japanese War, and became the object of cooperation of Western countries in the East. Decades later, militarism could have collapsed, but because of the antagonism between the two camps, the United States had to prop up this bridgehead, a model of the free world, to resist the attack of the red wave, and it once again had an excellent opportunity to integrate into the system of developed countries in the West.

In this world, if militarism is still rampant in China, I am afraid that it will definitely suffer a catastrophe, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to turn over again.

Therefore, Ye Zhao didn't think that he really hindered his progress.

In fact, what does militarism bring to the civilian population? Comfort women, widows, female tools that go to various countries to sell silver to earn foreign exchange, crazy martyrs for the country, such as women who are willing to voluntarily inject their surnames to kill American GIs, etc., during and before World War II, in addition to the so-called glory of the empire, the lives of civilians at the bottom are not exaggerated, but they have been brainwashed and they don't feel it.

In the East, because of the geographical environment far away from the struggle between the West, China and the Ben who can be the first to carry out the real industrial revolution and institutional reform will rise in the East, in comparison, China's advantage is a hundred times stronger than the other one, but the former dynasty of the non-Juche ethnic rule is narrow-minded, and finally the big country loses at the starting line. But Ye Zhao didn't feel that Yue Ben really won anything.

If this tenacious nation is rampant with right-wing ideology and does not know how to reflect, it will definitely hurt itself in the end.

However, in today's story, Ye Zhao feels that it is on a relatively normal development track.

Looking at the kimono beauty who got up from another table and approached, Ye Zhao thought a lot for a moment.

Ye Zhao knew that this young woman must be Mrs. Mitsui, that is, the wife of Mitsui Heisuke, a businessman who lived on the sixth floor of the Equality Building, Mitsui Heisuke was a descendant of the Mitsui family, and he and his wife were both students of the Imperial Kyoto University, Mitsui Heisuke was a geology department, and Mrs. Mitsui studied Chinese.

"Sir, madam, I'm sorry to disturb you." Mrs. Mitsui approached and bowed politely.

Ye Zhao and the three of them got up and returned the salute.

Mrs. Mitsui bowed to Iori Rei again and said, "I'm sorry to take the liberty of bothering, I'm Akemi Mitsui, and I've seen you on campus before, but I never knew that you were also myself." ”

Iori Reedzuki didn't wear a kimono to school, so as not to be too conspicuous, and the same was true for Akemi Mitsui.

Ye Zhao and the three of them also reported their names, and invited Mitsui Akemi to sit down, Mitsui Akemi smiled shyly, and said to Ye Zhao: "Mr. Wen, I'm too presumptuous. ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "When you meet an old friend in another country, I understand, you can talk." ”

Iori Rei and Akemi Mitsui talked in a low voice, while Ye Zhao took Gul Shayer's coffee cup to help her stir the sugar, and said with a smile: "It's urgent to do anything, you have to take your time with this." ”

Gulshail grinned, feeling happy and sweet. By Ye Zhao's side, the tribal patriarch felt that he was becoming more and more like a child, someone took care of him and someone loved him, and he didn't need to worry about anything by himself.

While Ye Zhao was tasting coffee, two patrol policemen entered the café, and under the guidance of the security guards who followed him, they strode towards Ye Zhao's table.

The two patrol officers showed their IDs, both of them were police officers from the patrol police room next to the building, one of them was a sergeant, surnamed Zhao, and he said to Mitsui Akemi: "Mrs. Mitsui, do you know Mitsui Aie?" Eighteen years old, round-faced girl. ”

Seeing that it was looking for Mitsui Akemi, the female guard who was on guard was slightly relaxed.

Mitsui Akemi was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, she is my maid." ”

Sheriff Zhao said: "Then please come with us, she is now in the patrol room and is suspected of hurting people." ”

Mitsui Akemi's face turned pale, and she said anxiously: "Hurt people, how can it be?" She won't, she's a good boy. ”

Sergeant Zhao frowned and said, "Then you have to go with us, right?" Her Chinese language is unclear, and I think it would be better for you to translate it for her. ”

Mitsui Akemi's face turned pale with fright, she is a very docile surname, where have you ever seen this? Isn't it worse than hell to be taken to a "prison" in a foreign land? She looked helplessly left and right, and said, "What about my husband, he ......" and then remembered that his husband had a party in the evening and would come back very late.

Reedi Yue Iori looked at Ye Zhao, and when she saw Ye Zhao nodding slightly, she took Mitsui Akemi's hand and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I'll accompany you." ”

Mitsui Akemi grabbed the life-saving straw at once, pulled Reedi Iori, and looked at Ye Zhao pleadingly, saying, "Mr. Wen......" Naturally, I feel that only when there is a man I know by my side will my heart be stable.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Let's go together." ”

At this time, Sergeant Zhao was already quite impatient, frowned, and said: "I said you guys should be happy, if no one goes, I can follow the plaintiff's words and submit it to the arbitration court for hurting people!" If it doesn't work, the court will settle it. ”

Ye Zhao glanced at him and didn't squeak.

The patrol room is not big, a small courtyard with a few bungalows, Ye Zhao and his entourage entered the hall of the left wing bungalow to deal with disputes, it was very quiet inside, there were two men who didn't know why there was a dispute, and they were nodding and listening to the patrol police on the other side of the table.

In front of the other table, there was a middle-aged thin man with a lewd face, wrapped in a white veil on his head, wearing a big cotton jacket, and talking to the patrolman sitting opposite him with a hippie smile, and the patrolman didn't like to talk to him, but he didn't care at all.

Ye Zhao and his entourage naturally attracted the attention of the whole house, Ye Zhao rubbed his nose, too, he was just a man, a lot of women with flowers and branches, and there were also exotic beauties like Iori and Gul Shayir, this dim room was brightened up under their beautiful lighting.

When the little girl who was chained to a bench at the foot of the wall saw Akemi Mitsui, she immediately burst into a grunt, and was reprimanded by the patrol police, so frightened that she hurriedly sat down and closed her mouth.

No need to ask, naturally it's Mitsui Akemi's maid Mitsui Aie.

Sergeant Zhao walked over and untied the handcuffs of the little girl, pointed to the obscene man and asked her to sit down, the little girl was a little reluctant, but she didn't dare not listen, so she went over and sat down obediently.

Sergeant Zhao sat down opposite and began to question.

Ye Zhao gradually understood that the lewd man was a fish seller, called "Fish Seller", and the little girl had a dispute with him when she went to buy fish.

The fish seller said that it was said that the little girl framed him for stealing catties and two pounds, and when she lost her temper, she beat him with a scale and broke his head.

The little girl Aijiang said that the fish seller told her that there were big fish in the back room, and she followed the fish seller to move her hands and feet, and pressed her to the bed, she grabbed something and smashed him in a hurry, but she didn't want to be an iron scale.

Mitsui Akemi didn't dare to speak, but in fact, it was all translated by Iori Reedsuki for the little girl, and the little girl said even more: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry", but she learned to say sorry in the original dialect.

Yusheng touched his head and scolded: "She doesn't have any skinny meat, Lao Tzu...... Can I take a fancy to her? Poor master, you have to call the shots for me. He pointed at Ye Zhao and his party and said, "If you want me to say, these guys should be arrested, and the partners will come to Meng, right?" ”

Although Ye Zhao and the others were well-dressed, they thought that they were themselves, and they were not afraid.

Mitsui Akemi's face turned pale in fright.

Officer Zhao frowned and glanced at Yusheng, and said, "Be honest!" ”

At this time, a patrol officer hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Officer Zhao's ear, and Officer Zhao glared at Yusheng, turned back to Wei Yue Yiori and said, "You can go." ”

Mitsui Akemi was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Police Officer, Aijiang, she, won't she be locked up?" ”

Officer Zhao nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

Mitsui Akemi was very grateful, and the little girl got up, bowed to Officer Zhao, and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry." ”

Officer Zhao froze, hesitated, and finally said to Ye Zhao and his party: "There is just a testimony to prove that Yusheng did take Mitsui Aijiang into the back room, and he usually said that he has a bad record, Mitsui Aijiang's confession is more credible, we will further investigate and inform you of the results." If the prosecutor's office decides to prosecute, Miss Aie will also be invited to testify in court. ”

Mitsui Akemi nodded repeatedly, although she was weak, but after all, she was a college student, and she still knew some about the imperial legal procedures, but she was really worried about dealing with Chinese who enforced the law.

Out of the patrol room, Mitsui Akemi bowed to Ye Zhao again and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble" Yunyun, the little girl also bowed and said thank you.

Ye Zhao rubbed his nose, quite helpless.

Akemi Mitsui added, "Mr. China's police are very fair. ”

Ye Zhao smiled, and said in his heart that it was far from justice, if it wasn't for Xiao Aijiang's being too polite, I was afraid that there would be no Officer Zhao behind, and if he came up and handcuffed Xiao Aijiang, it could also be seen that the patrol officers were inclined to surname.

However, it is inevitable that in the past two years, there have been more and more immigrants, and the police system has encountered new problems.

In today's concept, this patrol police station can be regarded as barely passing.

Stepping on the thick snow, Ye Zhao silently pondered, emerging countries, unprecedented world political pattern, there are thousands of things, there are too many things to consider.
