Chapter 30: The Problem (3rd Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The year 1890 was undoubtedly a year that changed a lot for East Asia, especially for Korea, which had survived in the cracks, and for them, perhaps with the withdrawal of the Japanese legation, it finally ended the "foreign disturbances", but on the other hand, its government was also completely controlled by the suzerain, which was marked by the establishment of the Unified Supervision Office.

Although the Unified Supervision Office has just been established, its "rule and surveillance" over the DPRK is all-round, from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs presiding over the DPRK's foreign affairs to the establishment of the police at the Ministry of Police, to the Ministry of Agriculture, Commerce and Industry taking over the DPRK's government-run "foreign affairs enterprises".

As a student of Tang Haoran, after the establishment of the General Affairs Department, Han Che entered the secretarial class, and in a certain way, the secretarial class is equivalent to the domestic shogunate, such as Li Guangguang, Song Yuxin and others all serve in the secretarial class, and most of the affairs such as negotiating with North Korean officials are in charge of it, as for Li Guangguang, as the section chief, he is more often "writing poems" with North Korean officials, all of which are "leisurely".

"This is imperialist oppression!"

In the office of the Unified Supervision Mansion, after Han Che reported on the kidnapping of officials that happened in Incheon, Tang Haoran just spit out such a sentence casually, and when he said this, his expression was a little playful.

Could it be that this is Qing imperialism?

Well, that's right, what he is now promoting in North Korea is not the legendary "imperialism". Since it is imperialism, what does it matter if it is a domineering point. Moreover, the policy it now holds towards the DPRK is not soft.

"Yuanyou is inevitably too public. That Jin Yiping is also a big minister, so humiliating, will it arouse the dissatisfaction of the courtiers? ”

Compared with the teacher's calmness, Han Che seemed a little worried, although the North Korean personnel are very deep, but since the opening of the North Korean port, the North Korean people have also given birth to the meaning of betraying China, and this is related to its own national consciousness. Just like he and many of his classmates and friends were dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. And this dissatisfaction stems precisely from national dissatisfaction.

"Handa, do you know why I am planning to establish the East Asian Tongwen Association?"

Tang Haoran asked rhetorically, but he turned a blind eye to Li Muchen's arbitrariness and domineering in Incheon, after all, the descendants of these people have done too many disgusting things in later generations, and it is natural that the ancestors did not educate their children well, and now they are being cleaned up. Putting it down, he asked about something else.

"Sir, although there is a lot of separation within North Korea, its Confucianism is all sticking to the big thing and the small Chinese idea is extremely important. As the students expected, he should have set up the East Asian Tongwen Association with the intention of using it as a support. Tong Guò Tongwen will propagate that the DPRK and China are of the same kind and the same kind, strengthen their great hearts, and then stabilize their form and plan for the future! ”

Due to the handling of official affairs in the government, Han Che did not participate in the plan of "seeking the dynasty", but he could also guess that Mr. established the Tongwen Society, and even allocated 50,000 yuan to preside over the Tongwen Society, and Li Guangguang presided over the Tongwen Society to make friends with North Korean officials, Shuoru and scholars, for only one reason, to prepare for the establishment of provinces and counties in North Korea in the future. Through guò's ideological infiltration, the resistance to the future annexation of North Korea will be reduced to the greatest extent.

"Hmmm! Truly! ”

Tang Haoran nodded slightly, Han Che didn't guess what he really thought.

"Among the North Korean officials today, there are many things to do, one is tradition, and the other is to act according to the times......

With a cold smile, Tang Haoran, who rarely interfered in the national affairs of the DPRK on the surface, naturally knew that these big parties such as Kim Hong-ji and Kim Yun-sik had changed from a pro-China faction to a pro-Japanese faction, a typical way of thinking of a small country and a widow in a North Korean style.

But there is another group of Confucians in North Korea who are completely different from them, and their loyalty to China has long been engraved in their bones! So much so that death does not change! Of course, the more important point is that most of these Confucians emphasize "Spring and Autumn Righteousness" and "Chongzhou Siming", in other words, they are anti-Qing, and they are eager for China to produce "Allah" again. As for the Manchus, they were even more contemptuous from the bottom of their bones......

"Whether it is the Tongwen Association or the Tongwen Academy, they are all planning for the future, and this Tongwen College is not only to cultivate "Korean experts", but more importantly, the administrative officials of the Special Administrative Region in the future should also be trained from the academy."

Referring to the Tongwen Academy in Incheon, the corners of Tang Haoran's lips lifted slightly, and he glanced at Han Che.

"Handa, you know, the business we have created here is not only for North Korea, but for the future of China!"

China's Future!

After Tang Haoran spit out this sentence, his brows tightened slightly, this feeling that the future of the country and the nation is completely tied to the body of one person is really heavy, so that Tang Haoran never dared to have a trace of slackness.

"Handa, when will the textile factory equipment promised by the foreign bank be shipped to Incheon?"

The textile mill is one of the "top ten projects" invested by the Beiyang Industrial Development Company in the first company registered with the Ministry of Industry, Agriculture and Commerce, and the capital of the Beiyang Industrial Development Company is only 1 million taels, and this million taels requires the construction of the Hanin Railway, the establishment of coal mines, and the construction of ports. Invest in the fourth-ranked large-scale project.

Among the "Ten Major Projects", only the coal mines in Pyongyang and the Beiyang Textile Factory in Incheon can see initial returns in the short term, thereby alleviating the financial problem and providing financial support for the development of the "Ten Major Projects" and the future "Special Economic Zone".

"Sir, yesterday I specifically inquired with the foreign bank, it will take three months at the earliest, to deliver a full set of 10,000 spindles of equipment, but if you look at the current construction progress of the factory in the Incheon Special Zone, I am afraid that the start of construction will be at least eight months later, in the opinion of the students, the top priority now is to establish the Bank of North Korea first, since the North Korean side has handed over the minting bureau to the Fuzhong, then the copper dollar of ten wen should also be minted......"

The work of the secretary section of the General Affairs Department has enabled Han Che to grasp the progress of various work in the house, and naturally knows that the equipment he bought from Beiyang before taking office has been installed in the old workshop of the Minting Bureau, and even the mold has been shipped back from England a week ago, so it is natural that work should start now, not to mention, he also knows that the most important thing in the house now is silver.

Is there a more lucrative trade than minting?

"Moreover, sir, whether it is the construction of the Incheon Special Zone or the mining of Pyongyang's open-pit coal mine, a large number of laborers are required, and the vast majority of them come from Shandong, and not only can they be paid with copper dollars, but they can also be used to pay for the settlement of laborers, and then with the help of labor recruitment and labor compensation, copper and silver dollars can be paid, and they can be spread to Shandong and Hebei to obtain more profits......

When Han Che said this, Tang Haoran just nodded, looked at Han Che and said.

"This incident must be done, coinage is the first new Korean policy presided over by the Unified Supervision Office, don't be in a hurry, after all, we are not just to obtain the profits, more importantly, to stabilize the North Korean finances, through the establishment of banks and coinage to gradually master the North Korean finance, and then through the guò to master its finance, on the one hand, to obtain the funds needed for development, on the other hand, to control the DPRK."

The reason why Tang Haoran was so calm on the issue of establishing a bank and minting coins was simple - no one! As far as his original intention is concerned, when funds are scarce, he naturally wants to issue silver dollars, copper dollars, and paper silver dollar bills, but how can currency just be issued?

If there is no one who understands "finance" and knows banking to preside over this matter, who can guarantee that the copper yuan of North Korea will not become the copper dollar of Hubei in the end, although the "copper yuan" is a dose of poison prepared by himself for "my Great Qing Dynasty", but if this poison poisons himself, will it not be worth the loss?

So, Tang Haoran is still waiting, waiting for someone! A person who is proficient in the operation of modern financial capital, so that the modern financial industry centered on banks can become a boost and lubricant for the development of enterprises in the Special Economic Zone and the zone, and inject a shot in the arm for the development of the Special Economic Zone.

It is not just one person, to be precise, it is a group of people who came from Tang Shaoyi, and that group of people is the only group of young people in China who have received modern Western education in this era.

Although the number of young children studying in the United States is not large, Tang Haoran is still full of expectations for them at this time, after all, in China in this era, there is no better "foreign talent" than them, but in history, they have been buried.

57 people...... How many people will stay in the future?

"I hope you'll all stay by then!"

Thinking of the upcoming batch of young children studying in the United States, Tang Haoran couldn't help but realize another problem, perhaps compared to funds, in fact, the more embarrassing thing is probably the lack of modern scientific talents, in fact, historically, throughout the history of foreign affairs in the late Qing Dynasty, the root cause of restricting the development of foreign affairs is the lack of talents, Li Hongzhang, who is known as the southbound talent in the house, is the same, and Zhang Zhidong is also the same.

How to solve the problem of talent?

There is only one way to do this, to establish a university in Incheon, and the Bungakuin is a place to train "administrative officials", and as for scientific talents, a separate polytechnic university should be established to train human resources who can meet their own needs.

It's easy to build a university, as long as you solve the problem of funding, you can build a university, and as for the faculty, you can hire professors and even presidents from abroad, but the real question is - where do the students come from?

(The third shift, month, where is the monthly pass?) Seeing that the speechless update is so powerful, everyone gives two small tickets to encourage! Hey! Ask for a ticket! (To be continued......)
