Chapter 106: The Korean Chaos is Imminent
On July 1, 1882, the Ministry of Industry was formally established, with the first minister Zhang Jian and the three vice ministers being Shen Yunpei, Yan Xinhou and Xu Dinglin. These four people were all extremely good industrialists in their previous lives, and in this life, they were sent to England by Ding Yuntong to practice their work, and their minds are far from being comparable to ordinary bureaucrats.
At the same time, an industrialization leading group was established, with Ding Yuntong personally serving as the group leader, Guo Songtao, Minister of Organization, Li Hongzhang, Minister of Construction, and Zhang Zhidong and Yi, Minister of Military Aircraft, who served as deputy leaders of the practice.
Ding Yuntong understands that his role is to strategically command the overall situation and determine the direction of development, although Guo Songtao, Yi and others do not approve of their own ideas, but their specific operational ability is far stronger than their own. In other words, even if they do what they don't want to do, they will do it better than themselves.
On July 2, Ding Yuntong officially promulgated the guiding > of the first four years of the of the < Ganghwado Treaty, such as tariff-free trade and the fact that Japanese currency could be used in ports, to almost monopolize Korean exports, and to plunder Korean agricultural products and minerals at low prices, so as to "transfuse" Japan's domestic "blood".
The double oppression at home and abroad has caused the DPRK's economy to collapse, the imperial court has repeatedly defaulted, the soldiers can not even make ends meet, and the Korean people in the border areas have fled in large numbers.
Chaos in North Korea is imminent.
