Eight hundred and twentieth seventh chapter gift bicycle
"Saki Kan, what do you think these places are done? There are soldiers guarding them, and the workers inside will be inspected by soldiers when they come out."
The shogunate envoys wandered around the capital, wanting to discover unusual places of the Kyushu Army as much as possible and then copy them. They soon discovered that some areas of the outer city of the capital were dedicated factory areas, with thick chimneys and brick and tile houses and cement houses. Many brick and tile houses and cement houses were painted with the words "Idle people are not allowed to enter", which made the shogunate envoys very puzzled.
When they wanted to get close, they were expelled by fully armed soldiers.
"It is mostly where muskets, artillery, and even trains are produced. They don't want to expose their technology, and they just produce it in a closed house." Tadao Sakai saw that there were fences, soldiers, and even patrol hunting dogs in the core factory area, and roughly knew that the Kyushu Army wanted to strictly keep their core technology secret!
But this is the most strictly controlled area of the capital city in the Jiuzhou Army, and they do not have the right way to obtain these technologies.
"Do you think it's possible for us to buy their workers and let their workers leak the technology and production processes inside?" Aoyama Yukien said to Tadaoka Sakai.
"There is a possibility in theory, but once the bribed workers leak the secret and the Kyushu army knows our intentions, they may retaliate wildly against us." Tadaoka Sakai looked sad.
There is no doubt that bribing the technical workers of the Jiuzhou Army is the fastest way, but it is necessary to bribe multiple workers at once to obtain one technology. If any of the workers report this matter to the Jiuzhou Army, they will naturally be uprooted by the Jiuzhou Army. This is a difficult game.
"It's painful. The most secret technology of the Jiuzhou Army is right in front of us. It's only a wall that we can't touch." Yukien Aoyama also began to be very obsessed with the Jiuzhou Army's technology, but he knew very well that unless Chu Yun's brain was short-circuited, he wouldn't reveal even a little bit of content to them at all.
"I'm in pain too." Tadao Sakai was filled with helplessness in the face of the gray factory wall.
He wanted to rush in and snatch the Jiuzhou Army's machines and materials and run away.
"Sakura Kan, did you contact the killer who arrived in the capital? Why is that guy Shimazu Kokuha still jumping around in the inn? The Shimazu family members have probably reached a secret agreement with the Kyushu army, which poses a huge threat to our shogunate. He must be let die here." Yukien Aoyama said to Tadaokazu Sakai.
"I've contacted the killer," Sakai Tadao said.
"Oh? Then why haven't the assassination been launched?" said Yukien Aoyama.
"The reason why Shimazu Kokusa is still alive is because our killer has been targeted by the Intelligence Department, the most mysterious organization of the Kyushu Army. She has adopted a special method to convey information to me. Do you know why she was targeted?" Sakai Tadaokazu said.
"Her identity as a mixed-race child was discovered? But her father is a Han Chinese. China is like ours in Japan. He respects his father's surname and has no reason not to accept her." Aoyama Yukien was a little confused.
"That's because she met the Chinese woman who killed my brother on the steamboat of the Kyushu Army. That woman has a great status in the Kyushu Army. Once our people appear by her, they will naturally be targeted." Sakai Tadaokazu Sakai said.
During the assassination of Tadaoki Sakai, Tadao Sakai had always wanted to find out Da Yu'er's identity, and even detained Da Yu'er for this, but he got nothing. This time he went to the capital to get it without any effort.
"I have heard of the murder of Tadaki Sakai. Who is she?" asked Yukien Aoyama.
"She is the sister of a commander of the Kyushu Army, and she is also an official of the Ministry of Revenue who is in charge of finance and people's livelihood. Are you surprised that the Kyushu Army will send such people to our Japan to engage in activities?" Sakai Tadakashi Sakai said.
"Official of the Ministry of Revenue? Did the Kyushu Army send her to check the accounts?" said Yukien Aoyama.
Tadashi Sakai shook his head: "I don't know what exactly, but I know she has brought a group of people here, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as checking the accounts. I have already conveyed an order to Kazuko, and not to move for the time being, so that it will be of greater use in the future."
Aoyama Yukien heard Sakai Tadao say that Kazuko had a more important role, and thought: "You mean..."
"Shut up, maybe there will be people from the Intelligence Department watching us in the secret." Tadaoka Sakai made a gesture.
As Tadao Sakai thought, behind this group of shogunate envoys were two civilians who were eating roasted sweet potatoes, looking at them intentionally or unintentionally.
"You said they were wandering around the city on heavy snow, which made us have to follow us. And they just wanted to break into the factory." said a civilian.
"Not that, we have been having a restless year in order to keep them." said another civilian.
"Fortunately, the year-end allowance given by the superiors is relatively high, so forgot, and shifts will be arranged after the New Year."
"I don't know how the other groups are doing. I heard that the groups that track the Korean embassy group are easier. Those Koreans are much more peaceful than those of Japanese."
The two of them discussed in a low voice while following the shogunate envoys.
The two Japanese envoys and one Korean envoy in Goryeo were under the surveillance of the Intelligence Department, and the previous Kazuko was also targeted by the Intelligence Department because of some of Da Yu'er's suspicions.
"This is a private gift from our military leader to show your friendly cooperation between the two countries." Yu Cheng took a bicycle to the inn where the Goryeo envoys are located and said to him in front of Li Yan.
"Bike!" Li Yan was amazed when he saw the brand new bike!
He knew that there were not many people who owned bicycles in the capital, and they were still produced in limited quantities. In his opinion, it was priceless. There was not even one in the entire Goryeo Kingdom!
"Congratulations to His Highness the Prince of the King for bringing his bicycle!" Almost all the members of the Goryeo envoys who followed Li Yan to study in the Academy of Sciences. They also knew the magic of bicycles, so they congratulated Li Yan one after another.
To be honest, Yu Cheng also envies Li Yan. If such a bicycle is priced at 100 taels of silver, someone will definitely buy it.
"If you haven't ridden this bicycle, you may be difficult to control because of your unstable center of gravity. However, Prince Wang, you can be familiar with the operation of the bicycle with the help of your servants. Let me demonstrate." Yu Cheng kindly taught Li Yan how to ride a bicycle.
