Chapter 671 Daming is so rich, why invade us! (6,000 words)(1/3)
Zhu Ciwei glanced at him: "We royal children don't have to worry about food and drink. What's wrong with using extra wealth to fund tutors to do scientific research? My father also likes to spend money on shipbuilding. Recently, he has spent time doing electromagnetics and optics! I'm also learning from him!"
"Also, to be honest, why are we Han people now more noble and richer than other races in the world? Even ordinary Han people can wear maids from Japan, spices from India, and gems from Africa? All because my Ming Dynasty technology is the strongest in the world!"
"If we don't pay attention to technology, our overlord status in the Ming Dynasty will not be maintained."
"Too!"
Zhu Cizhuo nodded.
"After you buy the Japanese slaves, I will go back with you. The court asked me to report my experience in opening up new markets and new channels of interest by seizing railway construction and management rights in the foreign exchange! I believe that the court intends to increase the efforts to seize railway construction power overseas in the future, and then further control these countries."
Zhu Ciwei said.
"good!"
After Zhu Cizhuo replied, he smiled and said, "Just brother, can you think of using this method to control other countries!"
"At present, controlling the construction power of Japan's railways in my own hands can indeed maximize the interests of our Ming Dynasty in Japan. Now the Ming Dynasty's goods have further controlled the Japanese commodity market through the railway line. The places where the railway passes are all the places where our Ming Dynasty goods are dumped, and it is also the new mineral mining site for our Ming Dynasty. And there are continuous Japanese people who have also come to Nagasaki through this railway line and go to other places in our Ming Dynasty to work as a coolie!"
"The Japanese rulers are also very useful. Suppressing rebellions can be more convenient. I have gradually become accustomed to using this mode of transportation to work with our Ming Dynasty to let the Japanese in the railway area create wealth for us."
Zhu Ciwei said.
Zhu Cizhuo nodded: "It seems that it is necessary to build a railway to the Rakshasa Kingdom in the future and transport all the coal and iron ore there."
...
"Mutou, look, that's the Ming Dynasty's iron armored ship, it's really big! There are no sails, only two large chimneys!"
Ei Tada, who has been qualified to study in the Ming Dynasty, stood on the dock of Nagasaki Port, pointed at a steam cruise ship in the Ming Dynasty, and shouted at his fellow villager Muto Masamune.
Masato Muto replied calmly: "That's called a steamship! I don't know how it runs, but I believe that sooner or later, my Yamato Empire will have such a ship. What do you think?"
Ei Tada nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
Because the Ming Dynasty only allowed the Japanese to study in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were required to wear Hanfu and speak Chinese to go to the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Muto Masamune and Tada Ei are now wearing Han Confucian robes and Confucian crowns, and are heading towards the official cruise ship in the Ming Dynasty.
"Mutou, I really hope that this time I can find their answers so powerful!"
Ei Tada started talking to Muto Masato while walking.
Masato Muto said: "Hope! But unfortunately, Ming Dynasty only recruits international students majoring in literature and history. Otherwise, we can know more clearly why they can make these iron warships sail and why they can make iron locomotives run on the rails."
"Yes! It depends on ourselves."
Tada Ei replied.
"To be honest, when I arrived at Nagasaki, I thought of the events of Nagasaki that happened decades ago that the elderly had spread. Now I am really sad to see that Nagasaki is full of Han clothing and residents who only speak Chinese language, and shops with Chinese characters as the only symbols!"
"And the sea area where there are all Ming warships. Like Edo, the red seal ship of my Yamato Empire is like a fishing boat in the comparison between these Ming giant ships! Also, Nagasaki, the hometown of Yamato ruled by the Ming Kingdom, is far more prosperous than Edo as a colony! As the asphalt road is well connected, and there are tall buildings and brick houses lined up. When I think of this, I feel even more sad. How could my Yamato be so behind the Ming Kingdom!"
Muto Masato said unwillingly.
"Yes, why is this? Nagasaki, which was colonized, is better than Edo in Yamato."
Ei Tada replied without understanding.
While the two were talking, although they noticed the wealth of the Han immigrants and the Chinese Japanese on Nagasaki Island, they both ignored the ordinary Japanese slaves who were ragged and hard to carry goods at the pier.
"Mutou, we're here, let's go up."
Soon, the two arrived at the cruise ship, and Ei Tada also reminded Muto Authentic.
This cruise ship in Daming has five levels of cabins.
The lowest is the fifth grade, just like a cell, with only some straw laid.
The second is the fourth class, which is the Datongpu.
The third level is the double room.
The second level is the single room.
The first is suites, or even villas.
The fifth grade basically piles up goods or places for ordinary Japanese slaves to stay.
Because the dentistry often buys many Japanese slaves with hard life to use in some colonial areas of the Ming Dynasty as laborers, and these are basically sold by local Japanese merchants. In the eyes of dentistry and ship transporters, they are naturally no different from goods.
The fourth grade is mainly Japanese students studying in the Ming Dynasty.
The third level is the Chinese Japanese who held the right to reside for several periods of time in the Ming Dynasty.
The second grade is ordinary Han people.
The first class is the wealthy people among the Han people who are willing to buy tickets at high prices.
Of course, many Japanese powerful people can actually afford tickets for first-class and second-class cabins.
However, the principle requirement of first-class and second-class cabins is that foreigners and dogs are not allowed to enter.
Unless there are powerful people among the Han people who take the initiative to invite some friends from the Chinese Japanese, no Japanese will have the chance to enter the first and second class cabins.
At this time, Muto Masamune and Tada Ei entered the fourth class cabin.
The two were separated in a window.
"I personally think that if I want to rise completely, I need to completely abandon my own writing and make it Chinese in full!"
"Nonsense! I am Yamato or Yamato?"
"But facts have proved that if we do not fully Chinese and fully follow the Ming Dynasty, we will not be able to get rid of the backwardness! Because only Chinese characters can be used in this world to express logically! Look at the Li family, the Korean country has completely abandoned its own language and fully Chinese. The Seoul is much more prosperous than our Edo! Their people are also richer than us! I have followed my father to the order of the Satsuma lord!"
When the two arrived in the fourth class, they saw Japanese students who were as young and energetic as them debated passionately.
When Tada Ei thought of seeing scenes related to the Ming Dynasty from leaving Kyoto to Edo, which was in business with the Ming Dynasty, and now Nagasaki, he could not help but ask Muto Masato: "Mutou, do you think it is necessary for us to fully Chinese?"
"I don't know! I don't have the answer yet!"
Muto Masato replied with a wry smile.
Then, Muto Masamune asked the Japanese student who had been to North Korea next to him: "Brother Taiwan, why hasn't this ship started sailing yet? Isn't it time?"
"You don't know this?"
The Japanese student named Imu asked in surprise, and then said, "There are noble people to take this boat, so you have to wait until the noble people get on the boat before you can set sail."
"Noble man, who is the noble man?"
Tada Ei asked.
"The eldest son and the fifth prince!"
Imu replied.
Tada Ei continued to ask: "The eldest son and the fifth prince of Ming Kingdom?"
After hearing this, Imu laughed: "It's so funny! I'm not the prince of His Majesty the Celestial Pilgrimage Emperor, can he be so noble that the whole ship waits? How could the royal heir of Japan have such honor? Even in Japan, the nobles of the shogunate are more noble than them."
"It's so sad! My Yamato royal family is not as noble as their own ministers. How can I not fall behind in such a Yamato? The fundamental reason is that the monarch's power is not upright!"
Masato Muto sighed.
"Can you see the eldest son and fifth prince of the Ming Kingdom here?"
Tada Ei asked again.
"I can't see it. They have special boarding ladders, and I guess they can only see their guards."
Imu replied.
Tada Ei still lay down by the window and glanced at it: "Their guards are so tall! To be honest, these Ming people are indeed much stronger and taller than our Japanese!"
"My Satsuma family has set up a condolence room for the Celestial Empire, and a group of young girls will be sent to the condolence room for the Celestial Empire to borrow seeds from the people of the Celestial Empire. In the future, the people of the Satsuma family will be taller."
Imu showed off her gloriously.
This is also normal.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was very powerful in this era, and the Han people had their own halo.
And people are born to admire strength.
Imu would think this is very honorable and a very reasonable psychological reaction.
"Haha! You Satsuma clan didn't learn from our Yanagawa clan! If we talk about the sinicization, we are still at the forefront of the Yanagawa clan and now the railway is connected, and my cousin has Han bloodline!"
Even at this time, a Japanese student named Sojunro from Yanagawa Castle was even compared with Imu.
After hearing this, Muto Authentic, who has a deeper national concept, looked even more ugly and said in his heart: "What's even more sad is that his Yamato Empire is still in a state of fragmentation, and the names of Dagus everywhere are not subordinate to each other. Many even think that the Ming Dynasty's vassals and the degree of sinicization is high. If this continues, there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to raise troops, but I am afraid that my Yamato will also destroy my clan."
"Here you come! Your Highness and the Fifth Prince are coming down!"
For a moment, the Japanese students in the cabin became excited, and more and more Japanese people lie down at the window and start looking out.
Only Muto Authentic students who are not from the upper class or comprador class in Japan are calm and even feel a little sad.
...
Zhu Ciwei and Zhu Cizhuo had indeed gotten off the steam car together at this time and walked towards the cabin under the guidance of the guards.
The person in charge and executives of this ship, as well as the Han people and the Chinese Japanese who were a senior comprador for the Ming Dynasty and therefore had a relatively high status in the Ming Dynasty, all went out to greet the ship.
