After making good use of the Tsarist Russian prisoners, what should I do?

　　 was thinking, the Russian is dissatisfied, how can we play us on the street like monkeys? And even if you slip on the street, let the big soldiers slip, how can we noble officers slip? This is a great humiliation, we have been hurt.

　　 Major General Zavojko was pushed out by the Russians and negotiated with the shogunate, asking the shogunate to treat them and provide corresponding supplies.

　　 Good fellow, Japan and Lu have not established diplomatic relations yet!

　　I can cure you all. I originally thought about discussing with Earl Elgin and transferring people to Hong Kong or India, but now Zhongyoumen is not going to send it. After Bao Buqi waited for the end of the Crimean War, the shogunate could use these people to exchange something with Tsarist Russia. Piecemeal, you can always scratch something.

　　 In the history of the Russo-Japanese War, Tsarist Russia directly clamored that it had the ability to continue fighting. In the end, the United States intervened and ceded half of the island of Huatai. At most, there was no compensation. The face was completely lost, and the Navy’s belongings were also completely cleaned up, leaving only two or three kittens.

　　 This time Tadaoemon also thought that during the Paris peace meeting, Tsarist Russia would vomit the Kamchatka Peninsula. The size of these prisoners is not a bargaining chip.

　　 At this point, Chungemon directly agreed to Earl Erjin’s suggestion, and he split the group of people into several parts and sent them to the shogunate in various mines.

　　 In addition to the prisoner, the British and French allied forces also went back to their homes and went to their mothers. Only two British warships remained in the Yokohama Port, and ships and warships of other countries left the port one after another. The officer training group of more than 300 people promised by the British army also stayed in Yokohama, and began to train more than 7,000 new recruits from the shogunate.

　　 Chungemon just took care of the coordination in the middle, and all these people were placed in the infantry training center. The dormitories and everything were ready-made, and the training was over.

　　 It is also because of this matter, Chuemon Naobi Mukai and Massuno Matsudaira suggested. Although the world is now the strongest Taiying, the shogunate has no problem learning from him about the army and navy, but the shogunate will not be able to face only the Taiying family in the future.

　　 This is what Ii Naobi's heart is. Ii Naobi is a superficial founder of the country. He is still very conservative in his heart. He hopes to close the country and the shogunate for thousands of years. Now that I have learned about the British army, it is not just the British army.

　　In the future, France, the United States, Prussia, etc., will have to confuse him with inconsistencies. If you want to get rid of these countries, it is necessary to understand the military situation of these countries first.

　　 Each country sent ten and eight military academies overseas students to study their military and understand all aspects clearly. In the future, the shogunate will be strong enough to fight against barbarians, and we can also know ourselves and the enemy in a hundred battles.

　　 It makes sense, it makes sense, Ii Naobi now has money anyway, and he approved it immediately. But Songping Qixuan only hates that he has fewer officers, and he hopes that there are more military academies sent abroad.

　　 The three hit it off, and at the moment they selected more than 30 people, and after negotiating with foreign envoys in Japan, they were sent to Europe and the United States to study. Daiying knows that he wants to cultivate "elite", and other countries also want to cultivate "precision", "exquisite", and "precision". I only worry about the shogunate's refusal to let people go out to know more about it, and where it would refuse.

The British merchant ship that was summoned from Shanghai thought that one person would bring it and two people would also pull it. Instead of earning only 30 people’s ferry tickets, it’s better to see what is good in Japan and pull back to Europe to earn some pocket money. what.

　　 I went to Yokohama to see that the Japanese raw silk was really good!

　　 is so good, so good! Not that the quality is extremely good. If the quality is good, it must be the best Jilihu silk from Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang, on the next mainland. However, Japan's raw silk has achieved a key condition necessary for large-scale industrial production. The quality of the entire batch of raw silk is very average, and the gap between dozens of tons of raw silk is very small. It is obviously a product of industrial production.

　　 I bought it!

　　Nara Shigeru didn't know how to make a price for a while, and he immediately offered a price of five shillings for a pound of raw silk, which is equivalent to about five hundred fifty taels per ton of raw silk sold by Shigeru Nara. For the 70 tons of raw silk in his hand, he gave 38,500 pounds on the spot.

　　 This is only the half-year output of the Yokohama Silk Reeling Plant, and there are not many female silk reeling workers and silk reeling machines, and the plant has not yet fully started. Silkworms only bought a small amount of silkworms from nearby farmers who had received Nara Shigeru's deposit, and the factory did not even start two shifts day and night.

　　 If calculated at this price, and the two shifts are turned upside down, a silk reeling factory can at least exchange more than 300,000 pounds of foreign exchange for Shigeru Nara!

　　 As we said, Japanese farmers produce silkworms, almost by raising silkworms for one day and changing food for one day. The cost of silkworms is extremely low. And women weavers also work a day to get a day's rice, labor is cheap and indescribable. The biggest cost is the construction of the plant and the import of advanced steam reeling machines.

　　 is equivalent to earning more than 200,000 taels a year!

　　 is just a factory~www.readwn.com~ Previously, Tadaoemon allowed Shigeru Nara to obtain the monopoly of raw silk management in Japan from the shogunate. Look at the appearance of the British, let alone dozens of tons, you are one thousand tons, two thousand tons and three thousand tons, and he needs it too.

　　Taiqing now exports more than 3,000 tons of raw silk every year, and the supply in European and American countries is still in short supply. As long as they can produce in Japan, they need as much production as they want.

　　 It’s too special to make a profit, I have seen the world, and Shigeru Nara, who has millions of money flowing from his hands every year, is also moved. Why did Tadaoemon invest in the raw silk industry so surely in the past? God's.

　　 Report the situation to Chuemon, who just smiled knowingly, and then wrote a note, hurriedly went to various places to build silk reeling factories, ready to roll up his sleeves and do a big job. In less than a year, tens of millions were scraped from foreigners, that would be a waste of this great business.

The reality in front of him was Shigeru Nara and the shogunate once again affirmed his monopoly on the raw silk industry in Japan, and then made money in accordance with the agreement with Tademon that year. The Nara house was divided into 40%, the shogunate’s money was 20%, and Forty percent went directly into production and continued to expand the industry.

　　 Enriching capital for Tokugawa Kogyo Co., Ltd. and accumulating management talents for expansion.

　　 The merchant ship that took 70 tons of Japanese silk and 30 overseas students back to Britain, unloaded the raw silk in London. When British merchants saw this raw silk, they said that the quality was not as good as Chinese silk, but Chinese silk sold for eight or nine shillings per pound. Japanese businessmen were so stupid that they didn’t know the market price, so they sold it for five shillings.

　　 The quality is not as good as Chinese silk, but the quality of Japanese silk is balanced. The point is that it is so much cheaper. Would you like it? Don't want me to sell others.
