Chapter 500 New Era (4)

"Sewers, candies, daily necessities..." At six o'clock in the morning, with the rhythmic shouts of peddlers, Dandong County ushered in a new day. Novels.

The pace of life in the agricultural society will not be fast, especially in the county town. Therefore, even in an important city like Dandong, people will not get up too early. Jin Sanpao, who was staying in an inn, had just woken up. He was still wearing a nightgown, and was sitting at the dining table, enjoying the scenery outside the window with curious eyes.

As a Dao Army officer in North Korea, Kim Sanpao was specially cared for by the people of the East Coast because of his outstanding performance in the battle to attack Naowencheng. He could study in the crash course at the Vladivostok Army Academy for two years. But the premise is that he had to pass the language barrier first.

Fortunately, Jin Sanpao is not very talented. After studying in Harbin for a while, his oral language is no longer a problem. Although his pronunciation is somewhat unstandard, he should be able to understand the words of the class. The worst is written language. He is still unable to write a superficial official document in Chinese even if there is no requirement for literary talent. But it doesn’t matter, crash courses do not pay much attention to these. When going to school there, the grades are not the most important. The important thing is to listen to the people of the East Coast and obey the will of the East Coast. This is the key. Moreover, there are instructors who know Korean and have no problems in bilingual teaching.

The inn where Jin Sanpao is now staying is a designated inn for the Manchurian-Mongolia Trailout Team. Naturally, this fee is also paid by the Manchurian-Mongolia Trailout Team at a long-term agreement. Because there is no liner directly to Vladivostok on the west coast of North Korea, Jin Sanpao must first arrive at Dandong and then take a passenger and cargo sailing ship from Yantai to Vladivostok.

The liner is carried out by the shipping department of the Taiwan Bank. The starting port is Yantai Port. After a circle in Dandong, it will go directly to Busan, and then stop at Wonsanjin on the east coast of North Korea. The end is Vladivostok. This is one of the three regular liner opened after the integration of the shipping department of Taiwan Bank. The other two are Jeju Island, Dandong Haiju, Yantai and Jelan Zhaqinzhou, Dinghai, Jiaozhou. There are not many ships running, and most of them are old ships eliminated locally, but they are very suitable for the coastal conditions of the Far East. If passengers and cargo transport are transported, you can still make some profits.

The ticket held by Jin Sanpao was two days later. At present, the passenger and cargo dual-purpose ship is still parked at the Yalu River Estuary to load and unload, so Jin Sanpao can continue to rest for two days.

To be honest, going to Vladivostok Army Academy to study is not an easy decision. Although North Korea has always respected the East Coast as the "Heavenly Motherland", with their national character, they actually don't trust the East Coast in their hearts. In particular, the East Coast people also focused on supporting the Quan family separatist regime with three counties in Xiangyang and 5,000 soldiers in Gangwon Province. The views of the North Korean monarch and ministers on the East Coast are actually very complicated. On the one hand, they thanked them for eliminating external threats to North Korea and bringing economic prosperity. On the other hand, they pity themselves for becoming a vassal, and were schizophrenia.

Therefore, under the leadership of such a complex emotion, they do not trust the civil and military officials who go to the East Coast to study generally to Yantai College and Hei Water Transportation College, while the military officers go to Vladivostok Army Academy. They only use their knowledge and talents to serve the country, but it is unlikely that they will be in a high position, and it is easy to encounter the ceiling in their careers.

As a newly rising military officer, Kim Sanpao was discriminated against because he was not from two classes. Now he is studying at the Vladivostok Army Academy. After he comes back, he is not going to use it or not. It is simply embarrassing. If the East Coast people don’t come forward to maintain it, they will probably be excluded to death. Fortunately, there are many academic sects in the North Korean army now. Comrade Sanpao has not yet entered the school. If everyone is united to keep warm, life will not be too sad.

"It's all the time, I'm still playing this game. Suppression and suspicion are not required. The two teams of people are really laughing." Jin Sanpao grabbed the herbal tea on the table and drank it all, thinking with some depression.

His uncle Jin Yueban has retired from his military post due to injury. He bought some land at the foot of Baitou Mountain and used a very low rent to attract some farmers to farm for him. His life was achievable. Originally, his behavior would have caused dissatisfaction among the local tribes, but Jin Yueban was not an ordinary person. He had a letter of commendation issued by the East Coast Army, and he always said that he had been cordially received by two "generals" of Bei Zhensheng and Wei Wendu. This was like an immortal iron coupon in the Korean countryside. No one dared to provoke him, and even the local Korean government did not want to offend him.

This is how the rise of a family is! It’s a pity that their Jin family is too low-class, and they are discriminated against everywhere and suppressed everywhere. For the sake of the present, it seems that only by continuing to hold on to the thighs of the people of the East, relying on their influence to protect them, and at the same time, we have a good relationship with the same depressed and unsuccessful academic officers in the army. Let’s join forces to keep warm together, and we may not be able to break a way in the future. The Jin family of Jiangyuan, who is a bandit, can steal the three counties and become kings and dominates. Can’t our Jin family, the Jin family of Pyongyang be imitated? Baitou Mountain will definitely become the place where our Jin family makes a fortune!

It started drizzling outside the inn. Jin Sanpao touched the pockets of few big boys, sighed softly, then took out the dry food left over yesterday, and swallowed it in three mouthfuls with free tea. After breakfast, he put on a set of half-new Korean military uniforms, asked the store owner to borrow a broken umbrella, and went out to go shopping.

The inn is built near the dock and is relatively prosperous. Jin Sanpao walked and looked and found that the people here should be relatively rich, but unlike the cities in northern North Korea that rose up due to iron smelting, coal mining, and logging, the wealth here is very "clean", that is, they obviously don't have any chimneys or furnaces, so they have created a lot of wealth. This kind of superpower is probably the people of the Eastern Kingdoms, right? It is worthy of being the motherland of heaven!

The rain stopped after a while. The dock worker who had just run to hide from the rain rushed out again and began to unload the goods hard. Jin Sanpao was a soldier, so naturally he could see that the unloaded buckets of gunpowder were all buckets of gunpowder. This kind of military supplies were very prone to moisture. No wonder it was not started when it rained just now.

Many guests also walked down from the ship where the cargo was unloading. Jin Sanpao swept over and found that there were several Japanese people with buns, but they did not wear samurai swords. They were wearing common tanned military uniforms of the Eastern Team, but there were no red epaulettes on their shoulders. This identity is very intriguing.

Jin Sanpao speculated that these people might be international students from Japan. When he was in Harbin, he heard from the officers of the Security Command that there was a platoon of Japanese interns in the Nanman area. They all graduated from the crash course from Japan to the Army Academy of Vladivostok, and then went to the East Coast Army to intern for one year. Unexpectedly, they met here.

Japanese military students! Kim Sanpao instinctively felt disgusted with these people. Due to the invasion more than a hundred years ago, the Japanese were not very good in Korea, and Kim Sanpao had no good feelings for them. Especially these people could also study at Vladivostok Military Academy, which was simply outrageous! What did they do when they learn military affairs? I heard that Japan is unified and stable now, and it is impossible to kill each other. So was it here to fight North Korea? No, it is impossible! Tianmoguo will make the decision for us! The Japanese navy was sunk by the powerful Tianmoguo fleet as soon as it leaves the port!

But it was very annoying after all! Jin Sanpao did not say hello to the Japanese "seniors" who had noticed him, but left and left on his own. These poor Japanese ghosts, let's play on their own! I don't know if they have been to Haizhou Port, look at the mountains of coal, iron and wood on the dock. Our North Korea is now stronger than you! The iron we produce in a month can be as strong as you for one year, but you may not know the other uses of coal? Haha, poor ghost, Japan is too behind now, and you will never catch up with North Korea! All of this is the kindness of the motherland. You may not be able to enjoy this kind of glory. Be poor on the island forever. Don't bother us.

It is true that as Jin Sanpao thought at this time, the East Coast's "gratitude" towards Japan was indeed almost gone, but this was based on the Edo Shogunate's long-term disregard for the East Coast and the policy of non-contactness. However, after the East Coast merchants profoundly influenced the northeastern part of Japan, the Shogunate's public can no longer act deaf and dumb. Therefore, they sent several groups of people to Denrae and Ningshao separately, and started a series of negotiations with the East Coast people.

The result of the negotiation was that the shogunate public decided to appoint several red seals to the East Coast people, so that some East Coast merchants who received the red seals could legally go to Japan for transactions, which was considered partially open. In addition, the East Coast people were originally guaranteed in the Matsue family, Sendai family and its branch, Kagoshima family and other places, that is, they could continue to do business with the Matsue family, Ida family and Shimazu family, and the conditions were very generous.

Such conditions were actually obtained by the joint efforts of the East Coast Japanese Company and the Osaka Merchant Group. The shogunate public realized the rapid growth of the strength of the Shimazu family and the Ita family, and also realized the strong strength of the East Coast people. The East Coast Navy Fleet conducted exercises in the Edo Sea, which greatly shocked the Japanese, so they decided to open some of the country and contact the East Coast.

Of course, the Japanese company in the East Coast was very satisfied with this. They had been doing business secretly before, and they were naturally unhappy. Now they can enter Japan, a rich "gold and silver country", which is so comfortable. This year, the performance of the Japanese company in the East Coast has seen explosive growth. A large number of metal products, silk, tea, porcelain, Nanyang specialties, medicinal materials, leather, prints, handicrafts, whale products, livestock (mainly horses), and weapons and equipment flowed into Japan through their hands, in exchange for a large amount of gold, silver, grain, sulfur, copper, lead, tin, knives, folding fans, screens and other commodities. Of course, there is another special commodity that has not been counted and the number is quite large, that is, the specialty of the ronin samurai.

In short, the Japanese companies on the East Coast have made a lot of money in Japan and their trade surplus is very high. The Japanese have greatly broadened their horizons through this kind of trade and have a deeper understanding of the external world. Therefore, it is normal to send some Chinese children to the East Coast to study. Anyway, this is a tradition in Japan since ancient times.

Therefore, Japan is also slowly undergoing changes. But unlike North Korea, their changes are more passive, which is different from North Korea being defeated by the East Coast people and then forced reform. The East Coast people are temporarily unable to conquer Japan with military means, so it is good to induce them to change step by step through commercial and cultural invasion. At worst, it will be a little longer and less efficient. Anyway, they will slowly integrate into the business circle dominated by the East Coast people, and eventually become an important link in this well-level trade chain, providing East Coast people with continuous profits.
