Chapter 244: Osaka Merchant
Of course, Lao Gou will not stop here, at this time in Japan, in fact, commerce has been emerging, the so-called Osaka, the granary of the world, is definitely not a lie, and relying on foreign trade, there is also the rise of a group of businessmen, these people may not be able to affect the situation in Japan, but under the fuel, it is not bad to find a leading party.
He didn't do it blatantly, but fortunately, the previous advertisement was too perfect, at least those samurai must have been very satisfied with the results of going back to test the sword last night, which can be said to be extremely excited, so the samurai who "protected" Lao Gou and visited various places were unusually polite to him.
Although the art in Edo is quirky and the style of painting is bizarre, it is still good from the point of view of exoticism.
No aesthetic can be separated from its social essence, just like the Japanese women of this era, with crooked teeth, it may be said that the whole world can't talk about tooth protection, but what does it mean to be painted black and pretend to be a ghost?
Lao Gou used to play the drama of hot spring play, so I didn't see it, and when the two women who came to wait were going to paint Lian white, their teeth turned black, and their faces turned blue immediately, this traditional Japanese culture is not all good, at least this aesthetic is very problematic.
Of course, Lao Gou also understands some reasons, in this era, as said in the Narayama Festival, because of poverty, there is a tradition of abandoning the elderly, that is, all the old people who live to the age of 70, regardless of whether they are still physically strong or not, as long as they reach this age, they will be carried to the mountains by their families and discarded to save food expenses.
These are the tears of the times.
In many of us, we can see that the male idea killed the final boss in a hurry, the world returned to peace, and the hero and his wives lived a happy life without being ashamed, well, this is very online.
But almost no one analyzes the reasons for the so-called **OSS, its blackening road, and the foundation soil of these **OSS, who is the basic plate of existence, so while those male protagonists are living a "sexual blessing" life, often another boss is also gradually growing up, waiting for the son of this male protagonist to grow up and brush another wave of copies.
The root of all Japan's problems lies in the fact that after learning from China in the Tang Dynasty and carrying out countless reliable or unreliable reforms, Japan's social structure has been stable until the 21st century.
At this awkward point in time, the Council of Elders did not have the strength and energy to directly "Sycamore" Japan, nor did it want to delay the development of this important stronghold heading east, and almost everyone thought of one thing, the leading party.
The traditional way of cultivating the Belt and Road Party, there are comprehensive university training, military academy training, and business training as the mainstream, at least those who have taken some foundations, the most favorite is to claim to study abroad, and when they come back, they will hang a Claydon University graduation certificate, as long as there is any question, there is no need to debate from the facts and basis, and directly countless hats will be buckled.
For Lao Gou, these three ways have their own merits, training college students for others, can infiltrate influence into all aspects of the country, train officers for others, can master the violence of a country, not to mention anything else, there are a lot of African presidents and African generals of the Nanjing Army Command College, Shijiazhuang Army Command College are among the best, and the business training is actually the most troublesome, but it is also the most stable, the established business relationship, countless people rely on China's business relations to live.
Lao Gou's investigation and study of Japan is also like this, people are close to perfect feudalism, the Chinese in the past to engage in the county system, its essence is already much higher than Japan, Lao Gou is also in a dilemma.
Tokugawa Iemitsu spoke very beautifully, and trade with the Celestial Empire was completely welcome, but after all, there were many cunning merchants, and once it was fully liberalized, it was likely to bring huge problems to Japan.
Therefore, compradors, agents, import and export control, although Tokugawa Iemitsu did not read economics, he learned this set of rules without a teacher, in fact, in the 21st century, Japan relied on this trick to maintain the undefeated domestic market.
Lao Gou met with many Japanese businessmen and promised countless good words, but the situation in Japan is now like a vigilant dog, any wind and grass will make him vigilant, after the Amakusa Rebellion, even if a piece of paper is sold, it will be carefully inspected by the shogunate, without this vigilance, the Japanese will not be able to survive the turbulent era in the future.
These businessmen are also in a dilemma, most of them are businessmen from Osaka, which is also a means of domestic balance for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and even formed a special "Kansai accent", but it is still very strong official and businessman.
"Thank you Mr. Hattori for the gift, in the future, when your people come to North Korea, you can visit me, my door is open to you, well, I also welcome businessmen from Osaka to do business."
"The Lord of the Celestial Empire is really so wise, I admire it, as for doing business, we can't understand the goods you said, and we don't know how to trade."
Lao Gou nodded and said: "Doing business and doing the market are indeed different, doing business, doing business, basically the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, so we have to engage in development and take Japan's own capitalist road, uh, what did I say, in short, if Japan itself can't produce products in large quantities, long-term trade with China may hurt your economy, so I have to remind you, as for how to develop the market, I think it is still necessary to adapt measures to local conditions, so, I'm looking for you to see what the Celestial Empire can sell to you, and then see what you can sell. ”
"Yes, sir."
Hattori Heiji is actually the son of a big businessman in Osaka, and he is not yet able to handle family affairs independently, but this time, it is unprecedented, and a local official from the Celestial Empire has naturally aroused the coveting of many Osaka businessmen.
Of course, the power of the sky is unpredictable, and the shogun can be said to have become more and more conservative since the Amakusa Rebellion a few years ago, gradually placing himself under the "protection" of the samurai, in fact, it is close to the existence of a puppet, although he himself is in power, but if any policy is not conducive to the samurai, he will not be able to eat at all.
Just like the core of power in classical China, the imperial power is surrounded by relatives, nobles, and Confucianism, and Zhu Yuanzhang only allows his children and grandchildren to marry the daughters of ordinary people, and the consequence of Zhu Yuanzhang only allowing his children and grandchildren to marry the daughters of ordinary families is that there is no capable foreign relatives to assist, and the nobles wither in the previous battles, only the Confucian students are left to control everything, and the imperial power can only rely on eunuchs, and these Confucian scholars are around, and even many times, they have to go into battle shirtless in person, without the original vertical arch and rule, and sit back and watch the joy of the great power tearing up.
In the same way, the Tokugawa family was not in the right position in the world, and almost relied on living for a long time to establish the shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not a traditional Japanese, but like a Chinese, he was cautious in doing things, and when he slept, he was sealed with wood under the bed, for fear that someone would assassinate him, and the food he ate should be roasted with fire, for fear of poisoning, and even women were afraid of syphilis......
And living longer than others is the specialty of the Tokugawa family generals, and this thing can still give birth to a daughter at the age of 66, which has surprised countless elders.
Of course, Tokugawa, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, deliberately claimed to be sick and refused to send troops at all, in order to preserve his strength, bully orphans and widows, and ascend to the throne, this is a proper misposition, not to mention the slaughter of Osaka Castle, after cutting off Toyotomi Hideyoshi, even the eight-year-old grandson was destroyed, which can be said to be a low moral value.
Therefore, the Tokugawa shogunate has been desperately suppressing Osaka, deliberately reducing the number of samurai there, and the so-called commercial development actually means another meaning, the shogunate's cows.
So these Osaka businessmen are still very aggrieved, on the one hand, they do have some privileges, but this is based on their desperate business and tax payment, on the other hand, there is only money and no force, all kinds of handles are in the hands of the general, almost the dishes on the samurai's plate, and anyone is insecure.
That's what Japan is all about.
Before he arrived, countless Japanese experts had studied this fact and thought of some ways to develop influence on Japan at a time when the force of force could not be projected to Japan for the time being, changing Japan's political power structure.
Lao Gou said slowly: "It's nothing more than the economy, everyone, here, there is a scholar from Adams in my country, who still has some research in this area, nothing more than comparative advantages." ”
Because the Presbyterian Church had a problem absorbing the knowledge of the old time and space, many things were directly consulted, and the names of these "ancients" were also spread smoothly, so although Adam Smith was still 78 years old, his Wealth of Nations theory had already begun to spread and contributed to China's economic construction.
"The comparative advantage is actually very simple, A and B, one is good at farming, the other is good at hunting, they both want to eat rice and rabbit meat with food, but if they are both farming, hunting, but they can't be busy, so A and B make a contract to regularly exchange goods in each other's hands, so that the income is much more than what they get from farming and hunting."
In Lao Gou's view, if there is no external support in this part of Japan, it is absolutely difficult to develop new science and technology on its own, and it is indeed too difficult to find its "comparative advantage" industry, and Japan's cultural connotation leads to their industrial projects, once more than tens of thousands of people collaborate, need more than 100,000 parts to manufacture, it is to catch blind.
In view of the strong control of the US imperialists in Japan back then, it was the rhythm of March when any politician close to China could not survive the rhythm of March, so the first thing that Lao Gou thought of was the handicraft industry, the catering industry, which is almost harmless, and tends to be an industry close to the service industry, who can think that a waiter who nods his head every day becomes a predator?
However, Lao Gou also secretly smiled bitterly, although he wanted to promote some ** thoughts, but how to think, to a group of rich people to say that the land is publicly owned is also a joke, to them will be the lotus pond moonlight they don't understand, but this wealth of the country, easy to understand, can also be convenient for example, of course, Lao Gou did not say, once millions of Japanese civilians rely on China's trade to live a good life, then who wants to cut off this trade, but they will be pressured.
"The Celestial Empire is indeed the Celestial Empire, I don't know where this Adams Great Sage is, where can I read the writings?"
Lao Gou sighed, this kind of Westerner's writings, basically between the lines are all kinds of words that express their life identity, if it is printed directly, everyone knows that it is written by Westerners, so it must be "sinicized", but just a few elders, how can they not play, so everyone is frowning, and began to translate little by little, remove or replace those "sensitive words", so that it can be put on sale.
"People, of course they are dead, yes, they are dead, but his spirit is still there, by the way, speaking of which, Japan's industrial advantages are still very good, at least this geographical location and climate are very suitable for planting, and the fishing grounds of the Pacific Ocean are close at hand, if you open a few large fishing boats, by the way, open up a fish cannery, however, the canning factory means that all kinds of supporting facilities must be built, sealing machines can be exported, boilers, sterilization pots, soup pots, cranes, forklifts, hydraulic vehicles, can be sold, but testing equipment needs to be standardized, You have to make it clear to the fishermen what kind of fish you want. ”
As an expansion of the population, desperately trying to put China's population to 40,000,000, 50,000 people, not only need a variety of health technology, but also improve the level of food, although a number of giant cattle farms have been planned, the spread of pig technology, but to find more protein sources is also a very important task of the Presbyterian Church, after all, meat needs to be fed, but in the case of insufficient food production, if the Japanese are willing to exchange fish and meat for machines, the Presbyterian Council will definitely be very happy.
Although it may not be possible to do some moments, hundreds of millions of shirts for an airplane, but this kind of scissors difference must also be very pleasant, of course, all kinds of basic education must also be grasped.
"Well, in Edo, I told the Tokugawa shogun before that I would send some docents and spread some new technologies, and you can just take a look."
"Hey, we must select the smartest and brightest children and go and listen to the guidance of the Celestial Empire."
