Xinhuagang had a good conversation, but this time the subject of Zhu Cihong's arrival in Japan was not the Philippines. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info but Japan, the massacre in the Philippines has not yet been carried out. But the oppression and looting of Chinese in Japan is happening.

Compared with the Chinese in the Philippines, the Zheng immigrants in Japan are obviously much luckier. They have a brilliant leader: Zheng Sen.

Thanks to Zheng Sen's efforts, a looting that could have spread into a massacre was averted. The sword light from the Japanese was temporarily stopped, and they were successfully integrated and had hope to survive this difficult situation.

What moved countless people even more was that at the most difficult juncture for the Chinese compatriots, the Ming envoy who was originally in Edo arrived in the Satsuma Domain, holding back Shimazu Mitsuhisa's imminent ambition.

At least, Lin Aping had heard countless rumors among the people that if it weren't for Wang Fuzhi slapping the table at Shimazu Mitsuhisa and threatening to send the Second Fleet stationed in the Ryukyus, I'm afraid that Shimazu Mitsuhisa's poisonous hand would have been killed.

Therefore, when Zu Dashou said these words today, most of the ministers and businessmen who followed Zhu Cihong to Japan did not understand. However, the people of the Ming Dynasty, who deeply felt this fear in Japan, knew very well how terrible this situation was.

If it weren't for Daming's action, many of them would have been buried in the belly of the fish at this moment, not only did they have no family wealth accumulated in their lifetimes, but even their own lives, the lives of their parents, wives and children.

All in all, in a word.

After Zhu Cihong arrived in Xinhua Port, the immigrants from Daming suddenly cheered and celebrated as if they had spent a carnival, and all the worries they had been afraid of disappeared at this moment.

Although Zhu Cihong has not done much at the moment, everyone has reason to believe that their Emperor Majesty will definitely be able to solve this problem. In fact, compared to the Jiannu Rebellion, compared to Li Zicheng's millions of thieves, a mere Satsuma clan may be a bit of a foreigner's aura to look at and fear, but in fact, it is not a big deal.

In particular, the well-informed Zheng Sen has already inquired, and even Shimazu Mitsuhisa's most trusted minister, Yamada Yuei, has begun to persuade Shimazu Mitsuhisa to give up his plot against the Zheng family.

Although, Zheng Sen also knew very well that their Zheng trading company was either devoured by the Japanese, or returned to the palm of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the fear and longing of the fathers for the imperial court, Zheng Sen, who lives under the red flag, is obviously much firmer. He is a staunch Daming faction, a Daming person, and a Daming ghost in death.

If you don't have a chance, you can only be a Japanese, but now there is a great opportunity to return to the Ming Dynasty, how can he refuse? Naturally, it was deliberately promoted.

Of course, although Zheng Sen is talented, there is still one thing that he has not thought clearly......

After a celebratory ceremony, Zhu visited the headquarters of the Zheng Trading Company.

Compared with the Zheng family, which was in the hands of the Zheng Zhilong brothers before, after arriving in Japan, the Zheng family was on the right track. To put it simply, it is the completion of the establishment. Just as later companies had various departments, Zheng also set up various departments here. There are three main departments in the headquarters, the business department, the city administration department and the escort team. In addition, Zheng Sen also sealed all the Zheng personnel scattered all over the world, and the name of the head of the branch was scattered without money.

Compared with the name of the manager used by the expedition company, Zheng's trading company is much more Chinese.

The person in charge of the branch is called the director, and it happens that the most basic official of the six departments of the Ming Dynasty is also the director, which is equivalent to the director of the later generations. As for the heads of the various departments, they are called the chief directors. This point is equivalent to Zu Dashou in terms of abbreviation. It's always enough for people to call one directly with their surname.

Relying on this hand, many people are actively moving closer to Zheng Sen in order to get a good job.

Perhaps, this is an important reason why Zheng Sen was able to unite the complex factions within the Zheng clan so quickly.

Zhu Cihong carefully looked at the young Zheng Sen, looked at Zheng Sen, who was only twenty-two years old and about the same age as himself, and said with emotion: "There are talented people in the country, and they have led the way for hundreds of years. Zheng Sen, a student from Nanjing Normal School, can protect your compatriots, be brave but be brave, dare to show your sword, and do a good job. It seems that the trend of my Chinese sons in Japan will be led by you. ”

Don't look at Zhu Cihong as simple as he says, but the factional struggles and the division of power, which one of them is treacherous, and even bloody. It is true that Zheng Sen was able to sit down in peace and quietly, and the time and place were favorable for the Japanese to force them to unite, but if Zheng Sen's ability was underestimated because of this, it would be a big mistake.

In the face of His Majesty's praise from the Emperor, Zheng Sen could only be described as flattered, in front of this idol, he didn't feel how powerful he was, he just rubbed his hands vigorously, a little overwhelmed: "Your Majesty Miao Zan, student...... Students don't dare to be. Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Praise, students can only work hard, not to our Nanjing Normal School! ”

Zhu Cihong was the founder of the Daming higher education system, and Nanjing Normal School was the first university established by Zhu Cihong. Zheng Sen's admission to Nanjing Normal School also has something to do with Zhu Cihong. Zhu Cihong brought this forward, which made the relationship between the two closer.

"Haha, good!" Zhu Cihong high-fived and exclaimed: "Then Zheng Sen will lead us to go around together." As a pioneer of our Ming Dynasty's overseas expansion, I have been curious for a long time. Along the way, Zheng Sen can also think about whether there are any difficulties that the motherland can help you overseas travelers. ”

Zheng Sen was pleasantly surprised, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and let himself return to calm.

This is a very pleasant surprise, and if you mess it up because of your surprise, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

The imperial court will help Zheng solve the embarrassing situation in Japan, which is the best ending.

However, if Zhu Cihong wants to get the most favorable start, of course, he doesn't roll up his sleeves and do it himself. Naturally, it is up to Zheng Sen to bring it up himself.

At this time, the imperial court was equivalent to grasping the initiative.

Although, the imperial court has prepared more than five plans for this. But whether or not there is the initiative is very important, which determines whether Daming can get the most benefits from his trip to Japan.

Zhu Cihong visited Xinhua Port and listened to Zheng Zhibao on the side introduce everything about Zheng's trading company. And Zheng Sen, after a short buffer, was already thinking about his emotions.

When it was time for lunch, after the guests and hosts were seated, Zheng Sen coughed lightly and spoke.

Zhu Cihong waited with interest for Zheng Sen's next words.

Wang Fuzhi on the side also looked at Zheng Sen slightly nervously.

Although I have communicated many times on this issue in private, the actual implementation of the plan is still both expected and somewhat worried.

In fact, Zheng Sen is even smarter than Zhu Cihong imagined.

"The student's plan is this: build a free trade zone of tomorrow!" Zheng Sen's eyes were blazing and radiant.

"Open the whole territory of Chinatown-Xinhuagang-Kushikino as a free trade zone between Daming and Japan. In this area, the administration was negotiated by the residents of the Republic and governed under the direction and supervision of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese government. Military security, under the patronage of the Chinese Alliance. All trade was free, and merchants, workers, and residents of the Ming Dynasty and Japan were free to trade on the basis of abiding by the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty...... As for the land, the Zheng family can propose a lease to the Satsuma clan for a tentative period of ninety-nine years, and the rent is easy to talk about......"

Zheng Sen spoke eloquently, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

Not long after, a rather sloppy notebook was taken out. Then he took a quill pen and scribbled on a blank piece of rice paper, showing the plan for the free trade zone in his heart.

After reading it, Zhu Cihong was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and felt a bad taste again.

Isn't this the concession?

It is also true that Zheng Sen is young, although he has wonderful ideas, but he has to admit that many things are actually challenging sovereignty. A territory is, of course, the undisputed executive, legislative, judicial, and tariff sovereignty of the host country.

However, in Zheng Sen's vision, the administration was held by the local residents in consultation with each other, and although there was a Chinese and Japanese government to guide and supervise, it was obviously not the most important. This is tantamount to depriving the Japanese of most of their administrative power, making it difficult to appoint their own officials to govern.

As for the judiciary, legislation and the core tariffs, they were naturally all flattered and generally lost to the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, what is the difference between the state of Japan and the cession of land?

Fortunately, it's a good time. No one will realize that tariff sovereignty is national sovereignty, nor will they find anything wrong with following the Ming Law. Compared to Japan, Daming is really advanced in everything.

In general, the Japanese may be heartbroken and lose a corner of the land, but as long as the benefits are supplemented and supplemented, Zheng Sen is confident that Shimazu Mitsuhisa will agree.

Zhu Cihong also had to admit that Zheng Sen had done a lot of preparation: "The free trade zone is a good idea, but the rent alone is ...... It's not enough. Not enough to impress the Japanese. Japanese people may not be aware of the importance of judicial sovereignty, but they are keenly aware of the pain of losing administrative sovereignty and tariff sovereignty. To make up for the loss of administration and taxation for the Japanese, they had to throw out a painkiller and a psychedelic drug. ”

"Painkillers are just ...... The tax share is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea. All taxes, including customs duties, were collected by the Ming Dynasty and distributed among the Japanese according to a fixed formula. ”

"Psychedelics, on the other hand, are a base. Convince the Japanese that this is a win-win move. That's ...... Poll tax. By promising a higher poll tax, the Japanese would be convinced that the more Chinese are in the free trade zone, the greater their benefits! ”

After Zhu Cihong's addition, he saw Zheng Sen looking at him with a shocked expression: "Your Majesty's insight into the Japanese mind, the students admire and learn!" ”

That's right, Zhu Cihong's painkillers and psychedelics came out, no matter who they are, they have to admit it......

Even if it is himself, under such favorable conditions, he will be tempted and refuse for no reason.

Not to mention Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who has been forced to give up on the edge of the Zheng family.

……

As soon as the Chechi Dan incident came out, it immediately shook Shimazu Mitsuhisa's doubts about his ability to control his subordinates. And the people's eagerness to trade to improve their lives made him intensify his sense of urgency to negotiate with the Ming people.

Now, Tadaaki Abe is also here. He was about to urge the Satsuma clan to evacuate the Japanese in the Ryukyus.

When those Japanese returned to the Satsuma Domain, an even bigger trouble swept over his chest.

Thousands of soldiers and horses were resettled, tens of thousands of people who had lost their jobs, and dozens of officials were resettled. No matter how you think about it, it's a headache. For Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who was already financially struggling and had to defy the shogunate's order to open a mine, he had to admit that he had to give in again.

It's just that the last concession can also be made up for by the Zheng family.

This time, he was desperate to see if he could give up the Zheng clan by making concessions in exchange for a slightly more favorable return......

As it turns out, the Akito may not be so hateful.

After a grand and formal greeting, Shimazu Mitsuhisa welcomed Zheng Sen and Zhu Cihong to his conference hall.

Under Zhu Cihong's instructions, Zheng Sen laid out his plan for the "free trade zone".

After listening silently, Shimazu Mitsuhisa stared at the two suspiciously.

He wasn't dissatisfied, but he couldn't believe it.

Under the sky......

Is there such a good thing?

Seeing Shimazu Mitsuhisa's expression, Zhu Cihong and Zheng Sen looked at each other and smiled.

They understood that the plan of the two men had succeeded.

Seeing this smile, Mitsuhisa Shimazu understood...... The other party, it's really not a joke.

The limitations of the times were destined to make Shimazu Mitsuhisa unable to understand the meaning, and he had to admit it after thinking about it repeatedly...... This is really a very, very lucrative condition, so rich that Shimazu Mitsuhisa racked his brains and couldn't think of a way to refuse.

He felt ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down.

A somewhat exaggerated smile appeared, and then, the smile leaked out like a torrent. Although Shimazu Mitsuhisa still has a little sense to maintain a little dignity of a daimyo, under that generous "concession", Shimazu Mitsuhisa can't wait to lease out his territory.

Even if it's ...... Ninety-nine years.

What's more, it's not ordinary people who talk to themselves.

That one, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire.

The words of the Son of Heaven are the decree of the law. What Jun Wu said was that His Majesty the Emperor's credibility was absolutely perfect.

"Please also rest assured that for the trade with the Ming Dynasty, the Satsuma Domain will repay the full sincerity and thoroughness. Please believe that His Majesty the Emperor respects His Majesty the people of the Satsuma Domain...... I think, perhaps...... It is also possible to include more places along the Sakurajima-Osumi Peninsula in the free trade zone. Shimazu Mitsuhisa hurriedly summoned a map and wanted to rent out more of his territory.

No one wants to be a charterer, and getting something for nothing is the most desired idea in the hidden places of the human heart.

It's just that most people just can't sell it at a suitable price.

And this time, it's a sure-fire errand. Not only the rent and poll tax are very generous. More importantly, as long as the trade of the Satsuma domain flourished, it would soon be able to drive various kinds of consumption and stimulate the economy.

For Mitsuhisa Shimazu, these are great times to make a fortune.
