Chapter 1 The benefits are all on board

The first update

In the ten years of Xianfeng, everything is developing in a good place. In the six-year battle of Xianfeng, Japan was not returned to 20 years ago overnight, but was almost beaten back to prehistory.

The achievements of the Meiji Restoration were shattered, and the various monuments and temples that they were proud of were also in tatters. Let those nobles and monks want to cry without tears. Applying to the Emperor for reconstruction, neither the Emperor nor the Diet could do anything, because it was the private houses that needed to be repaired more than these places!

The people were killed and wounded in that bombardment, and most of the houses in Japan at that time were made of wood, and the shelling was on fire, and the rows of houses in Kyoto collapsed one by one, and the others fell with them.

Moreover, their government has no money. Most of the money from the treasury was compensated to China, because if it did not pay compensation, it would not be possible, and if it was not compensated, it was afraid that they would come again. For the rest, they still want to resume production, how can they have spare money for the nobles and monks to repair those useless things.

Now even if these nobles have the money to build their own homes and temples, they are actually useless. Because there were no ships and docks, they could not buy (plunder) more raw materials from overseas. Just use those local materials, it's not impossible, but there are also problems. There are no craftsmen, the dead are dead, the crippled are crippled, it is easy to leave a little, and people only have one hand, and the whole country is destroyed.

What's even more unfortunate is that because of the massive bombardment, an active volcano in their territory has been triggered, and once the volcano erupts, it has made their territory even worse, and now the social system they want to sell to China when they have nothing to do is useless. The Diet fights with the military, and the emperor is stupid and can't do anything.

However, everyone has a consensus, that is, to ask for help from the nearest Xianfeng. However, Xianfeng comforted a few words with kind words, and then there was no more.

He said with great sadness that as Japan's former suzerain, they should have helped. However, their lives have not been easy in these years, and this disaster was completely caused by the Japanese side sheltering those hapless pirates. So before they apologize and compensate, even if he is the emperor, he has to pay attention to the voices of the people in the country.

After apologizing, he took out the silver to be compensated, saying that he had no boat, no dock, and had no chance to compensate. They weren't stupid, they thought, "If you're going to come and transport the silver, you'll have to help us build a dock first." Besides, you always have to pick a husband, and you can also help provide some job opportunities, right? By the way, I also discussed with the Imperial Court telegram that you must come, so it is better to bring a boatload of grain and other things, and we will buy them.

The Li Fan Yuan was all brought out by Qingyu, and doing business one by one is much better than diplomacy. They don't mind sending a ship to carry the money they paid, but to help with disaster relief, then, how can we have the ability? We are a weak country, what can we do to help you? What the? Can you buy it? We'll talk about that.

So, the Imperial Court immediately went to the sailor and the Ministry of Industry for a meeting, and they decided to let the sailor bring the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to build a deep-water wharf first, but they had to negotiate first, this wharf is in the surname, so only Chinese ships can use it, and they will send people to manage it, hoping that the Japanese side will take the ten miles radius of the wharf as a reasonable drying area for the Chinese side, and for this, they can give Japan a part of the compensation every year.

These were all done by the Li Fan Yuan automatically, and they didn't let Xianfeng and Qingyu give them ideas at all, and they moved happily one by one.

After listening, Qingyu wanted to write a capital 'service' to the Li Fan Academy. By the way, think about it, these people are like diplomats, and they are all black-hearted businessmen! Why don't you change the name to 'Ministry of Foreign Trade'? But if you think about it, forget it, wearing the skin of the Imperial Academy, it is still relatively concealed to do things.

Therefore, the first to go to Japan on the ship of the sailor was not the craftsman, but the famous mouth of the Imperial Academy, and after 300 rounds of verbal battles with them, a series of "mutually beneficial" contracts were signed. Within 10 years, China would build them wharves and send craftsmen to help them build houses. However, these all come at a price. It is to ask the Japanese side to return all kinds of antiquities taken from China since the Tang Dynasty. In other words, even if it is a piece of paper that belongs to China, it must be returned to China.

As a result, many of the Japanese imperial family and some temples collected antiquities from various dynasties were cleared out, and the docks were quickly built, and then the sailors escorted all kinds of saturated consumer goods and some old grain from the Celestial Empire in exchange for their silver, as well as antiques originally from China.

In fact, the Japanese imperial family is really not willing to exchange these things, they don't love the people so much. Besides, they think that these things have a provenance, and they really didn't snatch them, so why should they call them "return". Besides, these things are their private property, so why should they take them out to help the civilians?

Qingyu received a protest from the Japanese royal family, but Qingyu was not as good-tempered as Xianfeng, and she had to explain, so she kept throwing the telegram aside, and she didn't bother to mention it. However, she asked Li Hongzhang to go to Beijing to find a place to build a museum, write a description of the antiquities that were returned, let the people visit them for free, and set up a big monument at the door, so that everyone who came to see knew that this was our Han and Tang Dynasty achievements.

In a situation where form is stronger than people, they also have a parliament, and they also claim to be a constitutional monarchy. At the instigation of some well-intentioned people, the Japanese imperial family was really hollowed out, the government really held the power, and of course, a group of soldiers also entered the government agencies.

After the bureau was laid out, they did not have time to help others resume production, so they started the glorious tradition of "provoking the masses to fight the masses". Only then did Qingyu understand that these people had never thought of helping them resume production, so Japan was helpless to be locked up without ships and docks, and the country fell into chaos again.

Of course, China's merchant ships have become their monthly lifeline, and all parties have begun to buy weapons from China. Except for the weapons used by the sailors and the defenders of the city, they can buy the rest casually, as long as they give money.

Qingyu didn't want to say anything, she just told Xianfeng that these people from the Lifan Academy had left the school, and they would change a group of ambassadors outside, and these people would go up!

Of course, that's not all. She deliberately came to Britain, France and the United States to greet her, she is a businessman, and the most important characteristic of a businessman is that if you are not strong enough, don't eat alone. When you are not capable enough, you must not show a strong breath. Make those potential opponents feel that they can't make you any stronger. So if you really hit it together, it will be troublesome.

Qingyu reminded that everyone also saw business opportunities, and then thought that post-war Japan was really a waste and a better economic growth point. However, they couldn't figure it out, why did Qingyu call them together?
