Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 820

"Our shogunate never intended to surrender..." Tadakatsu Sakai wiped off his cold sweat. It seemed that Chu Yun had been coveting the shogunate for a long time.

"Then what do you want to do in China this time?" Chu Yun asked.

Goryeo State Li Yan wanted his help, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa also wanted his help, and now it is the turn of the shogunate.Chu Yun had already guessed the purpose of Li Yan and Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, but the shogunate Chu Yun was still not sure what they wanted to do.

"The shogunate has always admired the culture of the Central Plains, and our shogunate wants to send several batches of students to study here, following the example of the story of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty in the past." Tadakatsu Sakai said.

It turned out that because of this matter, the shogunate was really able to put down its arrogance and take the initiative to learn new technologies.

Chu Yun said to Tadakatsu Sakai, "The tuition fees of the Overseas Division of our Academy of Sciences are quite expensive, can you afford it?"

Sakai Tadakatsu and Aoyama Xingcheng replied: "Our shogunate sincerely wants to learn the culture of the Central Plains, and silver is not a problem."

Just waiting for your words!At that time, the tuition fees for foreign students in the shogunate will be increased several times to generate income for the Academy of Sciences.Chu Yun thought maliciously.

At present, the Academy of Sciences is like a huge bottomless pit. Every year, a considerable part of its finances is allocated to the Academy of Sciences. The only means for the Academy of Sciences to generate income is to apply technology to factories and generate indirect benefits by promoting production.

"If you can afford the tuition fees, then you can send as many people as you want to study abroad." Chu Yun still didn't say a word. Anyway, the content taught by overseas professors is just a deleted and simplified version of popular science, and The real core technology will not flow out so easily, and the information related to military and industry is guarded by the army.

"The two of us thank the military commander on behalf of the shogun." Tadakatsu Sakai and Yukio Aoyama couldn't help being delighted to see that Chu Yun didn't make things difficult for them.

"What else do you need?" Chu Yun asked.

"I still plan to travel in the capital, Liaodong and other places, please give me the convenience of the military master." Sakai Tadakatsu said.

"Traveling... I see, as long as you hold the ambassadorial documents issued by the Ministry of Rites, you can temporarily enjoy the treatment of Chinese civilians." Chu Yun said.

Treating civilians... Tadakatsu Sakai and Yukari Aoyama looked at each other. In the past, the envoys they sent were treated well and would be rewarded by the emperor of the Central Plains. But Chu Yun didn't seem to sell their face very much. Treat the ambassador as a civilian under the rule, and return the courtesy? !

Chu Yun didn't seem to intend to return the gift to them: "If there is nothing else, then you can retire."

"Wait, excuse me, I don't know why the envoys of the Shimadzu family are looking for the military master?" Sakai Tadakatsu felt uneasy about the envoys sent by the Shimadzu family, so he braced himself and asked Chu Yun.

"He just came to pay New Year's greetings to me instead of the Shimadzu family. Do you have any comments?" Chu Yun asked.

lie!Tadakatsu Sakai and Yukunari Aoyama almost yelled in their hearts, who would believe that it took two hours for two people who are only interested in the New Year's greetings!
"Don't dare, let's retreat first." Tadakatsu Sakai knew that his purpose of coming here had been achieved. He mainly wanted to get Chu Yun to agree to the sending of foreign students by the shogunate, so he didn't stay any longer.

After Tadakatsu Sakai and Yukinari Aoyama left, Chu Yun looked at their backs and felt that they were too similar. In the past, a group of officials from the Westernization Movement also went overseas like this, and then sent overseas students.

It's just that this time it's reversed. It's overseas who send ambassadors and students to the Central Plains. The Central Plains is the place with the most advanced technology!
However, Chu Yun was secretly guarding against one thing.If the shogunate begins to wake up, it must speed up the pace of devouring the shogunate. After they have laid the industrial foundation, they will grab them all, and then they will not need to invest in the construction by themselves.

Sakai Tadakatsu and Aoyama Xingcheng left Chu Yun's mansion, and members of the shogunate envoys outside surrounded them one after another.

"The other party agreed to our request to send overseas students, and then we will see if our own students in Dongying can learn something." Tadakatsu Sakai announced to other envoys.

The members of the shogunate envoys couldn't help but rejoice when they heard that the commander of the Kyushu Army easily agreed to their request. Since the shogunate and the Kyushu Army confronted each other, it was rare for them to be able to pay compensation in a transaction with the Kyushu Army.

"This is a small step for our mission, but it is a big step for our shogunate. As long as we copy them all, our shogunate will be so strong in the future!" Tadakatsu Sakai encouraged everyone.

Because of this trip, he has strengthened his courage to change, and he believes that the shogunate envoys who came with him should also support his ideas.

The shogunate envoys returned to the inn, and waited for the conspiracy between the Shimadzu family envoys and Chu Yun, so they delayed until the evening.

The street lamps on both sides of the main road in the capital are lit with fire lights, and the residents of the capital are already familiar with the rare thing of street lamps.The street lights were put into use, and the night ban was abolished in the capital, so even at night the capital is much more lively than before.

The room of the inn where Tadakatsu Sakai was staying faced the main road, and the lights from the street could come in.

Tadakatsu Sakai asked the waiter to bring food and drinks, and had a drink with Yukinari Aoyama. What they saw when they came here made them feel very unreal.

"This is the legendary electric light. Sure enough, the night is like day, which makes people's lives much easier." Tadakatsu Sakai took a sip of his drink, and then said to his companion Yukinari Aoyama.

"What kind of structure is the mind of the Kyushu Army that they can invent such a miraculous thing?" Aoyama Xingcheng was deeply puzzled.

"Besides, the food and wine here are delicious, and the price is not high, so I'm a little bit reluctant to leave." Sakai Tadakatsu said with emotion.

The trains, street lamps, and the way of life of the residents, everything shocked them. Edo Castle, which they are proud of, is not worth mentioning in front of the capital!
"Sakai-kun, how many years do you think it will take for our shogunate to fully learn Chinese technology to make Edo Castle as prosperous as here?" Aoyama Yukunari asked.

"Five years? Ten years? 20 years?" Tadakatsu Sakai thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out how much time it would take, because he didn't even know how difficult the technology behind it was!

If you want to obtain technology by imitation, the first industrial revolution is easy, but the achievements of the second industrial revolution require the accumulation of natural science theories, let alone the third industrial revolution.A piece of precision instrument can not be researched by hundreds of thousands of people.

"The matter of Mitsuhisa Shimadzu..." Aoyama Yukunari talked about it.

"Most of them are going to seek refuge with the Kyushu Army. We must act first. The killer I arranged should have also come to the capital. I will arrange for her to assassinate Shimadzu Mitsuhisa. I will never let them have a chance to join forces with the Kyushu Army." " Tadakatsu Sakai put down his glass.
