Su He was in the Qianqing Palace, reading the memorial compiled by the General Affairs Department.
The promotion of winter wheat in Shandong and Henan has achieved great success.
Governor Zhang Youfeng of Shandong and Governor Qian Mingyi of Henan.
They all reported that winter wheat in Shandong and Henan is growing well after the beginning of spring.
Winter wheat has been successfully promoted, coupled with the rapid promotion of corn and sweet potatoes.
High grain yield has become a foregone conclusion.
Water conservancy projects and farmland reclamation are underway across the country.
In addition, the use of farmyard manures such as biogas fertilizers and the production of natural chemical fertilizers have increased.
Throughout Dahua, the food crisis will be solved soon.
People will not go hungry, and they will live a stable life.
Dahua is too big, and the news is not all good.
He could analyze the situation reported by Su He from various places in the north.
A major flood is about to occur in the Yellow River Basin in the north.
In the beginning of spring this year, rainfall in Shaanxi and Henan was generally higher than in the past.
Heavy rain after a severe drought is not a good thing.
After a severe drought, the soil becomes compacted and its water-holding capacity becomes extremely weak.
The soil could not hold water, and large amounts of water poured into the rivers.
If the river cannot withstand the surge of water, it will inevitably lead to frequent floods.
Especially the Yellow River in Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, this dangerous above-ground hanging river, once it bursts, the consequences will be disastrous.
Especially in the northern provinces, large-scale floods rarely occur.
The water conservancy facilities are very old and cannot cope with the sudden intensification of flood crisis.
Suhe has strictly ordered the governors of the northern provinces to strictly inspect the embankments of major rivers.
Set up flood discharge areas to reduce the harm of floods. Once a flood occurs, relocate people immediately.
The cabinet allocated funds specifically for disaster relief, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate went deep into the front lines of disaster relief to investigate officials for dereliction of duty.
After Su He finished handling the government affairs, he looked at the map of the national military situation on the wall of the Qianqing Palace.
In most parts of the country, the war has ended.
At most, the garrison will cooperate with the garrison to suppress bandits in various places.
Only the Southwest Governor's Office is training a group of troops to adapt to the plateau.
The Great Hua Dynasty has been established for so long, but there has been no response in the Usi-Zang area.
Suhe is preparing to send troops to attack the Wusizang area. The local forces in this area are very weak.
The Wusizang area is difficult to navigate, mainly due to the difficulty of traveling on the roads and altitude sickness.
When people from plain areas come to plateau areas that lack oxygen, most people's bodies can't stand it.
The army can only be trained in advance to adapt to this environment.
After the Liaodong battlefield stagnated in winter, the Third Army and the Seventh Army were already launching a fierce spring offensive.
Su Hu and Li Dazhuang have joined forces in Liaoyang.
They are about to join the already trained Fourth Cavalry Division and prepare to launch a general attack on Jiannu.
Three cavalry divisions will also support the main force from the side battlefield.
The Royal Army of Great China, after solving the problem of Jiannu.
Then eliminate the traditional territory of China, the last force.
After Su He finished replying to the important memorials, he asked the General Secretary to forward these memorials to the cabinet.
He was going to take a look at the tap water that had been built in various places in the capital.
Zheng Ziliang, the general envoy, held a stack of documents and knocked on the door of Qianqing Palace.
After getting permission, he walked into the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, the East China Sea Fleet that conquered Japan has returned to Dagukou.
They achieved an unprecedented victory."
Su He heard the happy news.
He stopped preparing to go out and immediately sat down to read the military report of the East China Sea Fleet.
There were no surprises during this march of the East China Sea Fleet.
They have occupied the Ryukyu Islands as the home port of the East China Sea Fleet.
Edo Castle was captured easily, forcing the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate to pay compensation, and opening the harbor city and Japanese market.
Feng Sanqiu obtained precious metals worth thirty million taels of silver coins.
Banks already have no shortage of precious metals to make money.
Currencies made of these precious metals are put into the market and can easily solve the current money shortage problem.
The very difficult money shortage can be easily solved by winning the foreign war.
The East China Sea Fleet received supplies worth a total of 60 million taels of silver coins this time, some of which are cultural relics of immeasurable value.
In addition to precious metals and other types of currencies, there are also 10 million taels of Chinese silver coins.
This should be the silver coin obtained by Japan from selling its assets.
Su He looked through Feng Sanqiu's report, and he was more curious about what assets Japan had sold.
Japan is a country with scarce resources. There are still a few mines that have not been exhausted, but they certainly cannot collect so many silver coins.
Su He discovered that the Japanese country was able to obtain so many Dahua silver coins mainly by selling its population.
He looked at the population data and found that Yang Wencai and a group of businessmen had united to permanently hire Japanese laborers.
Feng Sanqiu also recorded the usefulness of these laborers in his military newspaper.
The Japanese laborers were mainly young men and women.
In terms of numbers, the Japanese country has the largest number of young and strong men.
They are mainly used for heavy manual labor in factories and mining.
In terms of value, young women from Japan are the most valuable.
Some women were purchased by these businessmen for five to six thousand taels of silver coins.
Military newspapers recorded that these high-value women were mainly used in brothels.
Because of Dahua's laws, brothels across the country are now shrinking.
But this huge market has not shrunk.
These businessmen exploited legal controls and found ways to keep brothels in business.
This gap was left intentionally by Su He.
Most of the Japanese women were transferred to Taiwan Province, Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu and other regions by these merchants.
In order to develop these underdeveloped areas, the cabinet contracted out the economic interests of these areas to some businessmen.
These businessmen recruited a large number of bachelors by giving them wives for free.
Su He had learned about these things before, and he thought these businessmen had deceived the bachelor.
These underdeveloped areas have a small population, let alone women of the right age.
Unexpectedly, these businessmen were so smart that they were forbidden to make plans for foreign women.
Inheriting the situation from the previous Ming Dynasty, the ratio of men to women in Dahua is very disparate.
Now that there are more factories, a large number of women can work in textile factories, and the situation in cities is slightly better.
In rural areas, many young people are single.
Dahua’s policy of accepting abandoned babies was too short-lived and there was no way to change the current male-to-female ratio.
If rural bachelors want to solve life-long problems, many of them rely on foreign women.
Su He gave instructions and asked Zheng Ziliang to send relevant information to the cabinet and Yanhuang Newspaper.
The cabinet should guide merchants to do business in Japan.
With this huge market, it will promote faster development of industry.
At the same time, stricter supervision will be implemented on the brothel industry.
Zheng Ziliang left Qianqing Palace, and Su He called Su Changsheng, the commander of the Xuanwu Guards.
He told Su Changsheng about this and solemnly ordered: "Er Gouzi, send someone to keep an eye on these most valuable Japanese women.
These merchants must have ulterior motives if they dare to spend so much money on beautiful Japanese women.
If these merchants use these Japanese women to collude with officials and businessmen, the Xuanwu Guards will immediately capture the relevant personnel."
Su Changsheng immediately assured: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Xuanwu Guards have sufficient manpower now.
No disturbance in the capital can escape the eyes of the Xuanwu Guards."
Su He nodded and said with a smile: "I asked you to come over, this is just a small thing.
There is something more complicated that you need to do.
Select a group of people from the purchased Japanese.
They will be trained by Xuanwu Guards, and after successful training.
Put them back to the Japanese country and let them disrupt the local situation."
The Japanese country is the country with the strongest power and foundation among the countries surrounding China.
We should not act too hastily when dealing with such a country of a certain size.
We must weaken the Japanese country step by step before we are unable to swallow it in one gulp.
…………………………
Tongzhou Riverside.
Fang Yizhi and Maoxiang bid farewell to Chen Zhenhui together.
Fang Yizhi said: "Brother Chen, this is a farewell. I don't know when we will see you again."
After graduating from the Imperial College, the two of them took different paths due to their different grades.
Fang Yizhi was admitted by the Ministry of Household Affairs and became the head of the Yungui Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Through his efforts, Chen Zhenhui is now an official.
He did not compete with others in a wealthy house, but took the initiative to choose a bitter and cold place with little competition.
Chen Zhenhui serves as the prefect of Andong Prefecture under military control.
He needs to take office immediately and establish a complete government office in Andong Mansion.
Maoxiang clasped his fists and said, "Brother Chen, if you can perform well this time, your official career will be much easier than others.
Everything will be prosperous in Anton, if the various local yamen can be established quickly.
If you show your abilities, you will be easily promoted by your superiors."
Chen Zhenhui smiled bitterly, every student of the Imperial College knew this situation.
But no one competed with him for the position of prefect of Andong Prefecture. There was certainly a reason for this.
Andong Prefecture is the easternmost prefecture in Liaodong Province, next to the Yalu River and facing North Korea across the river.
The war in Liaodong is not over yet, and many military experts are analyzing it.
The Jiannu could not withstand the attack of the imperial army, and they would inevitably flee to various places.
One of the escape routes was from Andong Prefecture to North Korea.
Now North Korea has been conquered by the slaves, and they are the younger brothers of the slaves.
Andong Province is a location with high incidence of military conflicts.
In other places, as long as you work steadily, you will get a promotion.
Here in Andong Prefecture, the prefect must rely on the military, and lives may be lost if you are not careful.
This area is relatively poor, so no students are willing to go there.
Under the gaze of his friends, Chen Zhenhui boarded the passenger ship bound for Tianjin Port.
He would take a sea ship directly and get to Anton Mansion as quickly as possible.
Maoxiang and Fang Yizhi said goodbye to their friends. They were about to leave Tongzhou.
I saw dozens of large ships docked at the pier on the river near Tongzhou.
Soon hundreds of armed soldiers came down and blocked the dock directly.
Maoxiang and Fang Yizhi could no longer leave.
When Fang Yizhi saw this scene, he had never encountered it before.
"Brother Mao, do you know what is going on in this situation?"
Maoxiang shook his head and said in confusion: "This formation seems to be for transporting important weapons.
But the military has its own dock, and weapons transportation will not pass through civilian docks.
I have never seen this kind of situation before, I wonder what happened?"
The two of them hid on the side of the pier and watched.
I saw stevedores at the dock carrying wooden boxes and loading them on horse-drawn carriages.
Military soldiers escorted the carriage towards the capital.
Some wooden boxes are not strong enough to withstand the jolts of workers, and they fall apart.
A large number of gold bars were scattered, and the glittering gold attracted people's attention.
A person who had just arrived at the dock said: "Yanhuang Daily published a special issue and announced a piece of news.
The East China Sea Fleet achieved great victory in the Japanese expedition.
The Japanese state paid an indemnity of 200 million taels of silver, part of which was to be transported to the mint and minted into currency.
The previous currency shortage situation will be directly reversed."
Fang Yizhi knew the news about the East China Sea Fleet's expedition against Japan.
At that time, there was a great disturbance in the capital city.
Those students in the Imperial College are all aware of the storm caused by this incident.
A great scholar was reprimanded, a great scholar was dismissed from his post and investigated, and his family members were banned from scientific examinations.
Maoxiang looked at the silver being loaded and unloaded, and said in disbelief: "How could this happen? Conquering other countries not only cost a lot of money, but also made it difficult for the people to live.
Instead, he got 200 million taels of silver. This is 200 million taels of silver. There are so many things that can be done.
His Majesty the Emperor is so wise and mighty."
Before Maoxiang, he was not optimistic about the East China Sea Fleet's conquest of Japan.
He felt that Dahua was not on a stable footing and could not start the war lightly.
Not long after the Sui Dynasty was unified, Yang Guanghao was so happy that he conquered Goguryeo.
He does not cherish the power of the people, and is held back by aristocratic families.
Eventually it led to the death of the second generation of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang is too impatient in nature and wants to complete within three to five years what should have taken decades.
It directly depleted the Sui Dynasty’s foundation.
Maoxiang originally thought that the East China Sea Fleet had lost a lot of money and food, but ultimately gained nothing.
Unexpectedly, the East China Sea Fleet won a great victory.
If we can achieve such results in foreign wars.
The Dahua army is too strong to allow them all to stay at home.
The carriages loaded with silver carts stretched for miles.
Let the people in the capital see the benefits that can be obtained by expanding outward.
…………………………
Li Gong was sitting in the newly opened Yanyu Building in the capital, tasting wine, admiring the beautiful women.
"Brother Yang, your methods are still clever.
If you open a brothel, you will have extraordinary sex life.
I heard that the one leading the dance is the daughter of a Japanese noble."
Yang Wencai looked at Li Gong and said with a smile: "Yes, these are the wives or daughters of Japanese nobles, otherwise they would not be so expensive.
I can't open this brothel by myself.
I just occupy more shares."
Li Gong sighed: "I really admire Brother Yang's courage.
Back then, he was among the first to go overseas and do business in Manila.
Now I dare to be the first to go to the Japanese country and buy a large group of Japanese people."
Yang Wencai was here to develop the Yang family. He was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
If you want to take advantage of this opportunity to develop and grow, you have to work harder than others.
His previous net worth was not as good as Li Gong's, but now his net worth has exceeded Li Gong's.
This time he went to Japan because he was confident enough in his own safety, which was completely different from the previous situation.
"Brother Yang, you Japanese sold me thousands of dollars.
There are a lot of jobs in my sugar factory, and we don’t need skilled workers, we just need a lot of strength.”
When Yang Wencai heard what Li Gong said, he said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Li, what you said is like I am a slave trader.
I stress again, we are workers, not slaves.
Your factory pays and I send the workers to work, that's all."
Li Gong listened to Yang Wencaitian's shameless words.
How can there be a worker who only has twenty taels of silver and no one cares about him until he dies?
"Brother Yang, I will hire three thousand workers first. If they are more useful, I will hire more workers."
In Yanyu Tower, it was not just Li Gong who found Yang Wencai to hire laborers.
Many factory owners hired workers from Yang Wencai.
Dahua Industry is in an era of extensive development, and these people are in urgent need of cheap labor.
In the past, His Majesty the Emperor had forced them not to consume the country's people excessively, but to provide them with the most basic treatment.
This has increased the cost of the factory, and now they have finally found a way to reduce costs.
