Chapter 627 Moore: When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rises, only revolution or destruction will be left to Japan!
The whistle sounded from the river. Sakuma Xiangshan and his disciple Yoshida Songyin took off the short knife from their waists and placed them solemnly in front of Friedrich. Sakuma asked in Chinese with some Japanese accent: "The Germans at the Frankfurt Store said that the two heavenly masters were familiar with the rise and fall of the nations."
Moore touched his beard and looked at the hilt of the knife: "We are just observers."
"Then please observe Japan!" Yoshida suddenly knocked the boat board with his forehead, "When North Korea began to make rapid progress,
When the steel plant was opened in Seoul to cast 32-pound cannons and the steam gunboats were built in Busan, the only Japanese iron and steel plant, which used Western France to make steel, had already gone bankrupt. The craftsmen either went to North Korea or China...:::.

As the steam engine roared, Sakuma took out a yellowed document from his arms: "This is a secret contract signed by the Satsuma clan and the Korean bank, one by one, sending 500 16-year-old women to offset the interest on the loan every year. What's even more hateful is...::..." His Adam's apple rolled, "Most of the deposits of the Korean bank came from Japan...:::. The Korean bank actually used the gold and silver deposited by Japanese merchants to lend money to the Japanese vassal lords, and then forced the high-debt lords to pay the interest on the girls from the families of the common people in the vassal lords...::... And these girls will be sold to the West Coast and South Ocean... It's so hateful!"
It's really hateful......Friedrich nodded sympathetically and didn't know who suggested that Yang Xiuqing open a North Korean bank to absorb funds from Japanese wealthy merchants?
Moore wrote the conclusion of "The Consequences of the Losing Sovereignty of Japan" in his draft of "The Eastward Journey": "The reason for this situation is that Japan has become a semi-feudal and semi-colonial land. Although North Korea was conquered by Yang Xiuqing and transformed into a heaven, it has complete sovereignty and can protect the domestic market with customs. In fact, the cost of the Seoul Railway is extremely high and the product quality is not good. It can't compete with the Xuzhou Steel Plant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Even the products of the Chinese iron plant using ordinary stirrers and reflectors are of higher quality and cheaper than the products of the Seoul Railway."
He picked up a cup of Chinese black tea, took a sip, and said, "As for why the North Korean bank can absorb the deposits of Japanese gentry, it is actually related to the fact that Japan does not have complete sovereignty...:::. The North Korean bank, real bank, and the United Kingdom and France,
Banks in Western countries such as the Netherlands, the United States and other Western countries can freely open branches within the concessions on Japan's territory. When wealthy merchants store money among these banks, the Japanese government cannot confiscate the money, and even do not know how it exists.
There is no such bank in the lands of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Korean Heavenly Kingdom. As for the export of Japanese girls, Japan actually does not have enough food to support them, and they don’t seem to have the opportunity to marry a wife in Japan. In the New World, they can get enough food and become wives and mothers... Of course, I do not agree with the practice of the True Job School, but as long as Japan cannot solve the food and clothing of 30 million people, this is a difficult problem."
There was silence in the cabin.
Friedrich saw that the two Japanese "progressive people" were a little depressed, so he turned to a topic that made them even more depressed: "So... ::... Religious infiltration?"
"The True Talk School said that Amaterasu was God's concubine!" Yoshida suddenly became so excited that his Chinese language changed, "But the "Ancient Times" of our country clearly records.::
"
"Records the fact that Amaterasu Dajiji and Suzhan Natsuru Mikiko divided the Takahara." Sakuma pressed the student's shoulder, "but he never mentioned his husband. Now they use the True Covenant to tamper with the history of the God, saying that Amaterasu gave birth to the father of the first emperor after serving God."
Moore suddenly said to his companions in German: "This is similar to the worship of the Catholic Virgin."
"What is even more dangerous is the heir problem." Sakuma took out the letter with a chrysanthemum pattern from his sleeve, "and the prince of the palace will be engaged to the eldest son of the King of the East next month. What if Prince Wakamurohito has...\n" He made a neck wiping action, "The first female emperor in Japan who believes in the True Deal and has a foreign husband!"
Yoshida Matsuin added: "And once God Amaterasu becomes God's woman, then the son of Dongwang Yang Xiuqing will become the descendants of the gods in Japanese Shintoism...:::. He and the son of the Japanese Empress are fully qualified to inherit the position of Emperor!"
"Japan-Korea Hokkaido...::.:" Friedrich pushed open the porthole and the cool gusty came in: "Things can be advanced to this point, which means that the Tokugawa shogunate is no longer able to control the situation."
"The Shogun is a fool!" Yoshida's eyes turned red, "The elders are all in the place of corpses...::
?
"Of course!" Moore said, "Even if Tokugawa Ie recovers from his current situation, there is nothing I can do about it!"
"The god is powerless?" Sakuma was shocked, "Does Japan really want...:...
Yoshida punched the carpet with a fierce punch: "Impossible!"
"What's impossible?" Moore looked at the thin and small Yoshida. "When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom won victory in China and led China to the path of industrialization before Japan, the possibility of reformism's success in Japan was ruled out!"
Friedrich nodded: "China's territory is dozens of times that of Japan, its population is more than ten times that of Japan. There are still a large number of precious metals in China and its resources are more than ten times that of Japan. Once China completes its transformation ahead of time and embarks on the fast lane of vigorously developing industries, it will soon expand into a behemoth that can crush feudal Japan....\n.:... What's more, in addition to China, there is also a North Korea."
Sakuma's face turned pale: "Is Japan's future a colony of China or North Korea?"
Moore wiped his pipe and took a breath of smoke and said, "If...:.\n.\nThe Japanese people cannot awaken and just rely on the emperor, general, vassal lord and Wu Tu, then Japan's future is already destined. Because their power is too limited, and it is a piece of loose sand, it is not enough to fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Korean Heavenly Kingdom. It is better to worship the gods of the heavenly kingdom!"
"People...::.. Awakening?" Yoshida looked at Moore, and the light of hope burst out in his eyes.
"China does not rely on Confucian scholars." Moore's pipe gently tapped in the ashtray. "Hong Xiuquan, Feng Yunshan, Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai were just scholars and farmers at the bottom, Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui were miners...\n:::.The real main force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, those old brothers and new brothers, almost all came from the people. It was the people, not the nobles who created the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Korean Heavenly Kingdom! If you Japan only rely on hundreds of thousands of martial arts, you will not be able to fight against the tens of millions of Chinese people and more than tens of millions of Korean people."
Friedrich said with regret: "If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had not been successful, Japan would have great hope! Because the Chinese aristocrats could have too few resources and population...:::. When the general public does not participate in the competition,
The samurai class in Japan actually has more population, land and resources, and it is entirely possible to achieve industrialization before China. To be honest, Japan's social structure and geographical location are very similar to that of Britain, and it is really similar."
"It's very similar," Moore spitted out a cigarette, "but Britain is facing a falling apart Europe, while Japan is facing a unified and powerful Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
Sakuma looked at Moore and Friedrich in a daze: "But the Japanese civilians have been under the rule of ministers and samurai since ancient times, and they have never...

Moore smiled and said, "Never, it does not mean that there is no future either...:::. Moreover, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rises, only revolution or destruction will be left to Japan!
In the third floor of the HSBC Bank, the brass chandelier swayed in the blue-gray smoke. Luo Yaoguo curled up in the Grand Master's chair, drinking coffee while holding a report and asked in a pretentious manner: "Why is this stock or something in short supply?"
"Report to Your Highness." Xu Yuegui, the general office of Sanxin Company who just returned from Japan, opened the account book. "The market price of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau stock issued three months ago has increased by six times...::... Many people can't buy it. In the stock store run by Sanxin Company,
Many people line up to buy every day!”
Opposite the long table of mahogany, HSBC Chief Officer Yung Wing explained: "There is too much money on the market and too few stocks, so there is a shortage of supply."
"What should I do if the supply is in short supply?" Luo Yaoguo continued to pretend, "The people all need to buy...:::. Our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is based on the people!"
Wu Ruxiao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, held an emerald cigarette holder in his mouth, and Mars was clearly destroyed among his white beards. "Since the people want to buy it, let's issue more?"
"Yes, yes, this is a solution!" Luo Yaoguo nodded, "Who else can issue stocks now? Does the Ministry of Revenue have projects in hand?"
Although Luo Yaoguo "does not understand" stocks, the stock issuance of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was under the instructions of him, an outsider, and was under the supervision of the Ministry of Revenue...
"Yes!" Wu Ruxiaodao, "There are four major railway companies, namely Beijing-Shanghai Railway, Jinpu Railway, Longhai Railway, and Guangdong Railway, who want to issue stocks!"
"Railway is a big project!" Luo Yaoguo focused on the topic, "Okay, then release it!

Luo Yaoguo suddenly sat upright and continued, "Everyone, this new stock issuance... How can I buy it even if I can't be bought by Shengdou Xiaomin?" He pointed his finger at a newly published copy of the "Datong News" on the table. The front page headlines were the news of "Water Coolie's stock trading and making a fortune and buying a house after making money." "Before, the eight major companies issued shares were taken by big investors, and the common people had no share, which is not good."
Xu Run, the general office of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway Company, said: "If the people want to buy it, there will be too few stocks...why would you like to draw a lot?"
Luo Yaoguo nodded: "The lottery is good... :::. But how do you draw? You can't draw according to your household registration, right?"
Wu Jianzhang, the chief office of the True Ask Bank, said with a smile: "You can let the people save money to HSBC first. The four major banks in True Ask, Taiping and Datong will draw lots with the certificate of deposit, and deposit 100 yuan to one number.....1,000 yuan to 10 yuan, and the more you deposit, the more you get."
