Early in the morning, Morita Koko had already gotten up. Today I was going to interview a big shot. Even though I had already gone to the shower yesterday, Morita Kokoko still went to the kitchen at home, burned two large pots of hot water and scrubbed it.

The aluminum kettle was a gift from He Rui to Photon. This thing looks ordinary from the outside, and the shell soon appeared dull due to the smoke and fire. But Photon keenly noticed that the aluminum kettle was not as rusty as an iron kettle, and was much lighter than a copper kettle. Moreover, with Photon's income, even though she had finished her stage as an intern reporter in the Asahi Shimbun and became a formal reporter, she still couldn't afford the expensive copper kettle.

As a female reporter of Asahi Shimbun, the Matsuko family has already lived much better than their neighbors. For example, after Photon finished scrubbing, wearing pajamas, and starting to use a hair dryer to quickly dry their hair.

The hot wind blew the long hair with high humidity on Photon, and Photon put the clothes they were going to wear today on the bed when they had time.

The cotton sheets, quilt covers, and cotton made of quilts were given by He Rui. The woolen coats and silk shirts were sent by He Rui, and the fabrics were made by Photon in Tokyo.

The outer jacket liner is made of silk and rabbit leather, and is fixed with buttons, which is light and warm. He Rui said in the letter that these are large-scale industrial production and are not valuable.

Photons can understand what He Rui said should be true. After working for two years, photons can already understand the power of industrial mass production. As long as there are enough raw materials, no matter how many products there are, they are just one piece on the production line.

Now He Rui controls Manchuria and Mongolia. It is a vast land that may not be able to travel from one end to the other for three days. Many people in the Japanese Empire are coveting Manchuria and Mongolia. Photon also learned from the words and various information of those people that Manchuria and Mongolia are ten times that of Japan, and its resources are rich and fertile, which is definitely not comparable to Japan.

Soon, Mrs. Morita, who was awakened by the hair dryer, walked into Photon's room and helped Photon dry her hair with the hair dryer. Seeing her daughter keep taking out her hair belt, headwear and other items, Madam Morita sighed slightly, "Mayton, you must be polite to you today."

Photon could only respond. The person she was going to meet today was Prime Minister Hara Kei. Before Photon interviewed He Rui, he had the opportunity to interview Lord Hara Kei. At least in Photon's opinion, someone had already prepared behind it. Although He Rui graduated from the Japanese Army University and his friends in Japan also had a lot of identity, there were some words that these people could not say.

The most suitable one is Photon. So Photon did not understand why political marriages were always tragic in books. Now she understands that women between various forces are just a tool from beginning to end. Who cares about the fate of a tool?

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Morita had already sorted out the details of her clothes. What reflected in the dressing mirror was a petite woman less than 160 cm tall and full of intelligence. She was neither strong enough to pretend, nor any pressure, as if any force could push her down.

Photon took out the short knife from her shoulder bag and put it in the drawer. This was her self-defense weapon she had carried in the past year. She went to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet to check the bag, but it would be bad if she was found there. Moreover, the security of the Prime Minister's Office is guaranteed, so there will be no danger.

Morita Minuko looked at herself in the mirror and was mentally prepared. She must not show any slightest disobedience in front of Japanese Prime Minister Harashi Hara, including losing her calmness and self-control in the face of big shots.

At 9:30 in the morning, journalists from several major Japanese media, including the Asahi Shimbun, came outside the office of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Koko Morita had seen photos of He Rui in Shenyang, which were several buildings, which looked majestic and grand. Of course, the building was not prepared for He Rui alone. The administrative and party and government cores of the entire Manchuria and Mongolia region were in those buildings. Compared with the photos, the office of the Prime Minister of the Japanese Cabinet in front of him seemed too low.

The issues discussed have long been agreed with the secretary of the Prime Minister's Secretary of the Cabinet, and Prime Minister Yuan Jing himself is from the newspaper industry and has full knowledge of various issues. The conversation between the two sides is very polite and full of cleverness.

Facing a group of reporters, Prime Minister Kei Hara introduced Japan's current economic policies, and then introduced the achievements of selecting personnel in Japan's government affairs system and building a new school.

From the time the Hara Kei Cabinet came to power in September 1918 until October 1921, it has been a long-lived cabinet for more than three years. At the 41st Congress in 1918, the "Creation and Expansion Plan for Higher Education Schools" was proposed with a total budget of up to 44.5 million yen.

According to the plan, the government built four new official and old high schools in Niigata, Matsuyama, Yamaguchi and Matsumoto Prefectures in April 1919; in terms of higher education, 10 new official and old high schools, 6 official higher industrial schools, 4 official higher agricultural schools, 7 official higher commercial schools, 1 foreign language school and 1 pharmacy specialty school.

In addition to the newly built schools, existing universities, including Imperial University, have also been upgraded and renovated. Several private universities, including Keio University, Waseda University, Meiji University, Hoshima University, Chuo University, Japan University, National College University and Yashishu University, have been upgraded to the same status as official universities.

During the process of upgrading from colleges and universities, a student wave broke out. However, the reason for the outbreak was that the teachers and students of the two schools caused by the failure to upgrade from the Tokyo Higher Education School and the Tokyo Higher Education School. After government regulation, the student wave did not expand and it automatically subsided in a short period of time.

In Japan, where domestic conflicts are like powder barrels, this is already an amazing achievement.

When Morita Koko thought that the Prime Minister of the Heikari Cabinet was to hype his achievements during his administration, the 65-year-old Prime Minister of the Heikari Cabinet said, "I have been a little unfamiliar with my studies and have exhausted my strength in my three-year position as Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Even if I continue to do it, I will not be able to make any progress. So I am preparing to submit my resignation in the near future."

Even when facing the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the reporters couldn't help but exclaim. The Japanese Prime Minister of the Cabinet on the stage were all targets of criticism, and Haraki Haraki was no exception. Among the reporters here, there were right-wing newspapers, and they always opposed Haraki Haraki who took the political line of the party.

But this does not mean that these journalists do not understand the current situation in Japan. From the perspective of political achievements, the Haraki Cabinet has passed many policies in Congress in the past three years that have made the right wing extremely annoyed, but overall, Haraki is not bad.

Moreover, at this stage, there is really no other appealing politicians in Japanese politics. The vassal forces that pioneered the Meiji era have become the target of cursing by the Japanese people in the past few decades. If people are forced to select people from them, their influence will never be higher than Hara Kei.

As for the reporter who tends to the left, he was even more surprised. Morita Hiroko was deeply influenced by He Rui, and her reaction was even calmer at this time. A thought came out, "Did Lord Haraki go back to advance and throw out the mess first, so that other prime ministers can completely mess up the matter?"

With the political and friendship association represented by Hara Keen, Japan's political party development has developed rapidly, and even forced the military to bow its head temporarily. In the past year, in 1921, many of the corruption of officials of the vassal forces in the government were exposed by newspapers, which led to many journalists' inexplicable deaths.

Of course, in the newspaper industry, everyone just never says it publicly, but in fact everyone knows the reason. The forces exposed are not the forces of someone, and the people in the front office are just their representatives in the government. If they expose those people, they will naturally be regarded as enemies by the forces behind those people.

This is also the reason why Morita Photon has to carry a self-defense short knife for the past year.

If Yuan Jing stepped down, the prime minister who came to power next was likely to be a representative of the old forces. They would definitely not be able to deal with the current problems, and the political forces supporting the old forces would be in a mess. At that time, if Yuan Jing killed someone, he would be retaliated and would be easily elected again.

Koko Morita felt that this was just his own idea. Haraki Kei is 65 years old this year, and at this age he still assumes the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet, which is indeed a heavy pressure for this old man.

Soon, the meeting with the reporter ended. The reporters wanted to ask about some more information, but were not agreed. When Morita Kazuko left, Haraki's secretary happened to pass by her and handed her a note. Morita Kazuko opened it and deliberately left behind. She went to the toilet for reasons to avoid everyone.

Sure enough, when Morita Hikoko was slightly repairing her makeup in the toilet, tidying up her appearance, the secretary led Morita Hikoko to another small office.

The layout here is Japanese. A small table is placed on the tatami mat. Koko Morita kneels down on the mat at the first position under the small table. After a while, footsteps sounded, and the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Hara Kei, walked in and knelt down on the mat at the main position according to Japanese rules.

When the secretary poured tea, Hara Jing smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of news Miss Morita is going to write."

Morita Photoko had some ideas at this time and simply asked directly: "I am considering the articles on the topic of analyzing the problems you encountered in economic development that you have encountered."

Hara Kei's secretary had just poured tea into the teacup in front of Hara Kei. After hearing this, he was stunned and looked at Hiroko Morita. After being distracted, the tea was sprinkled. The secretary quickly noticed and quickly apologized, got up and took out a rag to wipe the water stains. Then he pushed it aside and knelt on the tatami next to him in a straight posture.

The Prime Minister of the Harashi Kei's cabinet was not surprised. A little girl like Morita is not a person in the upper class of Japan, and not many people pay attention to and care about her, but it is due to the etiquette of the upper class. However, because of this, Minister of Otagisa Takahashi was a friend and academic advisor of the Qing Dynasty, Professor Heifengsheng introduced Morita to Harashi Kei, "a person who knows how to look at problems from an economic perspective."

In Haraki's opinion, Morita Photon, who received this evaluation, is at least much better than the "red deer" in the military headquarters. (Red deer is a common Japanese word, which dictionary the Chinese idiom "referring to deer as a horse", so "red deer" is used to refer to confused situations and characters.)

There are so many things worthy of Haraki's attention. If Morita Kazuko cannot do this level, Haraki would not bother to have a private conversation with this upper-level Japanese figure.

"Miss Morita, what do you think are the economic problems that this government is facing?" asked Yuan Jing.

Koko Morita dared not speak nonsense. Even if she said the correct answer, it would not be beneficial to her. A former girl from the Tokugawa Shogunate ordinary samurai family went to college and found a formal job as a journalist in the Asahi Shimbun. Instead of serving tea, water and cleaning, she had a fixed salary. She was already the limit that women of her origin could reach in this era. She could understand Harashi Kazuki's difficulties, and saying the correct answer would only cause trouble. What's more, Harashi Kazuki's cabinet faces countless problems, and everything was very difficult. Morita Koko didn't know which one the Prime Minister of the Harashi Kazuki thought was important.

So Morita Photoko lowered her head slightly, "Please give me advice."

Hara Keiba looked at the elegant behavior of Morita Koko opposite him, but he cared a little about the girl. Self-sustaining and forbearing and showing beautiful qualities is undoubtedly the imagination and expectations of the Japanese people for the upper class women. In fact, the upper class women are not so outstanding, and many of them are not very different from those of the shrew.

The only thing that noble women from the Chinese family is superior to Morita's Photon is their origins. They are far inferior to those in terms of knowledge, knowledge, and rest. At least, if Haraki talks about politics with the upper class ladies, those women either do not understand at all or directly consider their personal interests.

How much did Morita Photon know in front of him? Harashi had the intention to figure it out.

"Miss Morita, I want to hear your opinion." Hara Kei said.

"This..." Morita Photoko lowered her head slightly again.

Yuan Jing had limited time, so he ordered: "I ask you to express your opinion."

Facing the Japanese Prime Minister, Koko Morita had to surrender. She raised her head but lowered her eyes. "Your Excellency, the three most troublesome things in Japan are the first one, the setback of imports and exports, the second one is the domestic labor-management dispute, and the third one is that some of the fiscal budget allocation have to be invested in areas that cannot promote reproduction. Or it can be said that the raw materials and product markets are in great trouble."

After saying that, Morita Koko raised his gaze and looked at Haraki's reaction.

Harashi Kei's evaluation of Morita Photon was much higher. Just talking about the problem, the problem that Morita Photon mentioned was only three of many problems. But when it comes to the essence of the problem, Morita Photon directly grasped the key point.

If Morita Koko was a boy, Kei Hara would be willing to train him. A boy who graduated from Tohoku University in the Empire would enter the government and become a civil servant. After working for a while, if he performed well, he could become a marriage relationship with a certain political force. Later, he would inherit the political force, become a member of parliament, and then become a minister of a certain department. If he could show leadership, become a leader of a faction, or even become a minister of a certain cabinet minister, this would be possible.

But even if a girl has the ability and knowledge, she will not open the door to politics to her.

Yuan Jing quickly withdrew his mind and brought the topic back to the field that should have been proposed earlier. "He Jun is an elite trained by the Great Japanese Empire. When the Great Japanese Empire encounters difficulties, He Jun should have the will to help. Now He Jun has mastered Manchuria and Mongolia and established a trade relationship with the Soviet Union. He has sufficient raw materials in his hands. If He Jun can share these raw materials with the Empire, he will undoubtedly gain the favor of the Great Japanese Empire. Moreover, the population in Northeast China has soared, and there will be a great demand for industrial products."

Morita Koko only felt her hair stand upright, and there seemed to be a chill in her body rushing left and right. In this case, it shouldn't be said by Haraki. If it were Haraki's secretary, it would be the most suitable.

Although Haraki didn't mention anything about Morita Kazuko, every sentence is an order.

If Hara Kei's secretary said this, both sides would have a buffer. If Morita Hiroshi could not convince He Rui in the next "interview" of He Rui, it would be just that he would not be able to convince him.

Now Morita Photon has no way out. If He Rui cannot convince him to make concessions, Morita Photon will be finished after returning to Japan.

But Morita Kazuko would never think that his dear Nijiang He Rui would agree. In terms of toughness, He Rui would never be weaker than any Japanese senior executive. Morita Kazuko had seen it with her own eyes. Several Japanese officers who came to He Rui to drink were drunk and were greatly stimulated by what He Rui said, so she used the alcohol to pull out the Japanese saber and shouted "To be a duel."

Morita Koko was frightened very much, and He Rui stood up with a smile and picked up the samurai sword in the house. As a result, the Japanese officers who were drinking together quickly pressed the guy who was provoking trouble and fooled the matter on the grounds of "drinking too much". Morita Kokoko had seen He Rui train his sword skills, but she didn't think He Rui's sword skills that were as fast as lightning would lose.

Just like now, Morita Photon doesn't think He Rui will compromise.

Afterwards, Morita's head was buzzing and could only deal with it almost instinctively. When she left the office of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, only Haraki only said some words and did not ask Morita to answer.

Morita Photoko did not return to the office, but went home directly. She put on a quilt and hugged on the bed, feeling that she was trembling involuntarily.

It took me a long time before Morita Photoko recovered. The first more rational idea emerged. Has the Japanese economy reached such a critical point?

But thinking about the workers and peasant families he interviewed, Morita had to admit that the situation in Japan was so critical.

Workers' families work hard and earn only enough money for the whole family. Not to mention in the countryside, after paying the land rent, a farmer can only solve his hunger by eating wild vegetables and eating edible grass roots and tender leaves.

In fact, Makoto Morita also lived like this when he was a child. It was not until Photon's mother, who was really oppressed by life, rented a house for He Rui, a visitor at a low price, that Photon's life suddenly improved.
