Chapter 189: Meiji Restoration (5)

Hey, Mitsui Takasui, but you are a businessman of Daqing? "He used fresh words. During this period, merchants were always willing to learn some Chinese. On the one hand, they improved their identities, and on the other hand, they could easily communicate with Chinese commercial ports. Until the Sino-Japanese War, China lost everything. Japanese talent He turned to embrace the West and chose a new goal to follow.
Huang Xuan did not nod, nor shook his head, maintaining an arrogant attitude.
This is a required course for children of every family.
However, the Japanese nowadays have very few feelings of fear and admiration for China. If not, this group of warriors will not surpass, but this guy called Mitsui Takasui did not speak anymore, but just like that. Looking at Huang Xuan, Xiao Huang was a little uncomfortable.
Compared with these merchants, he is weaker.
A chunky businessman next to him stood up, raised his voice, and said in Kanto: "For the sake of you being a foreign businessman, kneel down and salute, then you can leave."
He has a typical Japanese nose, his mouth is cocked, his face bones are thin, so the flesh on both sides of his cheeks is drooping down, so that he has a round face, he shouted, the whole face The meat is shaking.
Huang Xuan snorted disgustingly, but was freed from the confrontation with Mitsui Takasui. He kicked the two people under his feet and rubbed onto the high platform.
This is a stand specially prepared for people with identity. It is higher than the stage where the actors perform. It is necessary to look down on people, but I don't know if they can really see clearly.
Several warriors who came up to block were taken away by Dian Wei. Huang Xuan stood in front of a group of rich businessmen and said to the fat man: "You can apologize to me now."
The other party scolded naturally, and Lorraine did not translate. Huang Xuan did not want to know, gave him a finger, thought for a while, and said: "Give you two dollars."
The man was about to fall down, Huang Xuan held him up, let go of his hand, and watched him tremble and kneel down. The man was unconscious, and everyone at the scene looked at Huang in horror. Xuan's hand. Even Mitsui Takasui didn't know what to say for a while.
Speaking of Japanese businessmen, there is a special reason for their rise-during the Shogunate period, no matter the samurai or the daimyo, their property and salaries were food, and the land could not be bought and sold and changed hands. This is the so-called land ownership of feudal lords.
Therefore, the samurai class can only receive the established rice as salaries. Regardless of whether it is 50 stone or 100 stone, these grains cannot always be used for eating, and according to regulations, the samurai cannot sell these commodities.
As a result, everyone exchanges things with merchants, not only ordinary samurai, but even Daimyo is no exception.
Not only that, Daming and Samurai often lack money, regardless of what they spend. But if you want to borrow money, you must find business people, so modern people say. The late Japanese shogunate was very similar to the West. Because the big names who held the political power lacked money, they had to compromise with the merchants who controlled the economic power, so that the merchants' status and influence gradually expanded.
To make a simple analogy, Daming A wants to attack Daming B, but he has no money. So I borrowed a loan from local merchant A. approximately. A samurai identity. After the war. Daming A won. At this time, he had two choices. He tried to devour businessman A. The money naturally didn't have to be paid back, or he should pay it back truthfully.
At the beginning, many daimyo will choose the first method, but it wo n’t take long for these daimyo to find out that no merchants will ever lend them money.
As a result, Daming, who received financial support from merchants, won the final victory.
However, if you choose the second method and directly pay back the money, it is difficult for many big names, because his money is spent in the war, and the income-mainly the rent of the land, has not been obtained.
Therefore, if they do not attack other big names in accordance with the requirements of the merchants, they have to give preferential treatment to the policy and then repay the loan in kind.
Later, through the distribution of Da Ming's real goods, the merchants collected and collected money and other businesses, and made huge profits from it, gradually accumulating a large amount of wealth in the society. Simply put, it is to master the commodity channels, financial capital, and unrestricted development of the entire country. How can such merchants not be rich.
So in the period of Kuanzheng (1790), it was fifteen, and it was accepted by merchants, and one-sixteenth was accepted by the Wu family. "
When the duels and the Shogunate duel, the merchants became the decisive force.
The reason why the Emperor Army can fight with 5000 soldiers>:
The main factor is: the application of new weapons, and the reason why the British are willing to provide new weapons to the squadron instead of the shogunate, because the squadron can get the land and the shogunate The military does not have so much military expenditure.
As a result, it was another regime change.
It was precisely because in the Meiji Restoration that Mitsui and Mitsubishi made a lot of political investments, and finally obtained huge profits from it, becoming the first of the six major consortia in Japan, and now standing in front of Huang Xuan, it is Mitsui Exchange
The boss, Mitsui Takasu.

Huang Xuan looked around and said, "Is this the most famous businessman in Osaka?"
"Yes." A middle-aged man on the side smiled. He combed a samurai's bun, but he still wore the blue cloth of an ordinary businessman.
Huang Xuan noticed that he not only sat next to Mitsui Takasui, but also dressed much more casually than others.
It's like watching the leader's travel on the news network. The secretary, bodyguards, and low-level officials always wear straight, and the prime minister's chairman must be casual. Huang Xuan smiled faintly and said, "What do you call this gentleman?"
As soon as he said that it originated in Japan, it was also a matter after the Meiji Restoration. I do n’t know if Lorraine turned it into a "step" or an "honor".
The man smiled and said, "Yotaro Ishizaki."
Huang Xuan apologized.
Without mentioning the issue of nationality, just talking about matters, this Iwasaki Yataro is also familiar to him, because this is the founder of Japan's largest consortium, the Mitsubishi Consortium.
In 3 more days, he will become the leader of 99 chambers of commerce in Tosa Fanzoya (an organization responsible for storing and selling goods from various localities), and from then on Mitsubishi Chaebol.
Zhang Xinyi mentioned the name more than once, and Huang Xuanyou could not help but shrink his hand and said, "Why are you in Osaka?"
Ryutaro Iwasaki did not answer, but instead asked, "Do you know me?" Mitsui Takasui is now more famous than him.
Huang Xuan did not pay much compliments, but looked around and smiled: "The victory of the Falling Screen Army, everyone seems happy?" What he really thought was that it was occupied by the Falling Screen Army again.
Roughly calculated, the time has been advanced by half a month.
Mitsui Takasu narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Xuan. He couldn't figure out his way. He appeared in a high-profile appearance. In addition, he knocked down a group of samurai warriors. It's hard to guess.
It's a sensitive period now. The draconian army relies on the power of the British, and the shogunate has actually turned to the French. Therefore, as in the distribution of power in Europe, the British power is still stronger.
However, judging from his position today, the Shogunate will not necessarily lose.
As long as the Shogun can come up with a plan to satisfy foreigners, these guys who have milk as mothers may prefer some chaotic scenes.
Especially when the arms dealers are wandering.
Miyajiro Iwasaki has a pair of small eyes, the size of mung beans, embedded in the slightly swollen eyes, the image is not very beautiful, but it gives a very real feeling, he saw that Mitsui Takasui did not reply, so he said: " The Emperor is supposed to be Japan ’s supreme rule, and the Shogunate is unpopular. "
If you are a warrior, you will definitely call out some slogans, let alone say "should be the supreme rule". Only those who have accepted Western thinking will think so.
Huang Xuan didn't notice this, and he hadn't waited for him to speak again, but another slightly fat young man beside him said: "There will never be two messengers in the Qing Dynasty."
Mitsui Takasu immediately glared at him.
Huang Xuan suddenly realized that he always wondered why these Japanese eyes were so strange, and now he finally understood the reason.
They even suspected that they were messengers of the Qing Dynasty.
This is no wonder the Japanese.
Throughout the Meiji Restoration, there were always some Japanese people thinking about whether the Qing Dynasty would intervene, just like the Qing Dynasty did not understand Japan, and Japan actually did not know much about the Qing Dynasty, especially the newly-arrived rebels. I have n’t contacted the high-level officials of the Qing dynasty. Therefore, I have always been concerned about such a problem: the Dutch, the British, and the French all fight on this land in Japan. How can the Qing dynasty not come? Www.EbookFREE.me ~ However, the Qing people did not come.
In 1868, the Manchu masters had just solved it. + Li had the time to pay attention to the vassal state that was not a vassal state.
Huang Xuan just wanted to kiss this fat guy. He was actually very smart. Maybe two days later, he could think of the tiger skin of the Qing Dynasty, but by that time, I am afraid that it is too late.
After almost smirking twice, Huang Xuan stretched his hand over Dian Wei and said loudly: "I was the envoy of the Qing Dynasty Minister Xu Hongzhang Li Hongzhang. This time I came here, this time I was to fight Master Li's front station and unfortunately encountered a shipwreck. At this moment, Li Hongzhang is still in the position of Governor of Liangjiang. The people who have heard of him are far less than those of later generations. Huang Xuan's words are full of emotion, and his words are not sad, but instead have the taste of the court family.
His age is still too young. If he is a minister, it is a joke at all. Even so, Mitsui and others will not believe it, but the suspicions are skeptical, and the merchants present are all present. People's thoughts made a joke, said: "You are ..."
"Huang Xuan." Xiao Huang smiled triumphantly and gave an arch to the surroundings. Mitsui Takasui was equivalent to the boss of Osaka's business community. As long as he did this, it would be enough for him.
