Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty
C715 Economic sanctions
Mizar riots were a term unique to Japan. In fact, it was a large-scale operation carried out by people living in extreme poverty. This kind of riots were common in China and also existed in other countries. However, only Japan crowned this kind of riots with the word "Mizar".
The reason was simple. The Japanese people's feelings for rice were simply too deep. In their eyes, there was only rice that was pure white and sparkling, and any other kind of grain was just a side dish.
The Japanese people were very strange. They clearly had many mountains, many seas, and few fields in their natural environment. They had not even been able to solve the problem of warmth and satiety, yet they had not vigorously developed their foodstuffs cultivation and breeding.
However, in Japan, the prevalence of these high-yielding crops was far lower than in China. In addition, there was also the breeding industry, which clearly knew that pigs produced more meat and were very suitable for developing their own breeding industries. However, all the Japanese s believed that the pork was filthy, and would rather starve than eat it.
This was truly a twisted and perverted race, willing to starve rather than change their own behaviour. The whole of Middle Age's food security problems were all placed on one type of crop, and that was rice.
The more simple the food species, the greater the danger to the species. In the biosphere, it was also obvious that the omnivorous organism was more competitive than the single food organism.
Actually, the change in Japanese's eating habits had to wait until the Minzhiweixin, through communication with the world, and through the influx of all kinds of new eating styles into the Japan. Only then did Japanese gradually attempt to accept all other kinds of food, but the current Japanese still stubbornly refused to change.
This was a huge weakness of the Japanese people. The purpose of Xiao Letian's establishment of the Four Seas Food Trading Company, his original intention of setting up the biggest food trading group in East Asia, was actually to use rice to kidnap the Japanese economy.
The world's largest rice producer is, of course, Southeast Asia, where the climate is spring-like and the yield of three seasons a year allows East Asian monkeys to grow enough food to grow only a few fields.
In addition, with the addition of abundant fruits and seafood, it was impossible for the farming civilization to develop here. On the contrary, the rubber industry also had coffee growing, spice growing and minerals mining as the main body of the economy.
However, everything had changed now. Due to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, a large number of people from Jiangnan Province had fled to Southeast Asia. The Han civilization naturally brought about a strong sense of farming.
Furthermore, Xiao Letian had deliberately increased the amount of rice he could purchase. This caused the enthusiasm of the people in Southeast Asia to soar to an unprecedented level.
Letian Firm's rice orders never stopped. A ship of rice began to head north to stock up in the various granaries of Ryukyu and Da Qing Empire. But for Japan, Xiao Letian would not stock up on even a single grain of rice, his plan was to dump them all.
Ships and boats of rice were open to supply, and the prices were basically the same as in Japan's prime years, and there were many of them. At first, Japanese grain companies were also preparing to hoard large amounts of food for hype. But afterwards, they discovered that the amount of rice in the Ryukyu merchants' hands was too much, and it was not something that the Japanese merchants could eat.
No matter how much they hoard, the price of rice won't go up. Just as they were in despair, the Letian Firm suddenly released a hefty piece of news. The Prime Minister loved to drink Japanese wine and had ordered his troops to stock up on Japanese wine.
This saved the Japanese grain merchants because the raw material of the Japanese liquor was rice. Whether it was the sake or the turbid wine, both were rice wine. After the wine making industry flourished, the stored grains were finally sold and the market price had increased by 15%.
This was truly a joyous situation. A large amount of rice from Southeast Asia had been dumped into Japan to bring down the price of food, and a large number of Japanese wine orders had allowed the price of food to stabilize at a normal value. No one could feel that there was anything wrong about this.
The incident of the Tongzhi Emperor being assassinated completely infuriated Xiao Letian, he kept arming his colleagues from the Osaka City.
The Japanese wine orders were still piled on the table of the winemakers, but the rice transportation in Southeast Asia had stopped. It had been three days since they last saw a grain ship in RiverClan Bay, and now that the Japanese had lost his external rice supply, his granary was completely empty.
Before the explosion, you thought it was a beautiful scenery, but you would never be able to imagine how much pressure the lake had accumulated. Once it had erupted, the power would be irresistible.
Every city in Japan was spreading the news of the assassination of the Emperor of Great Qing, as well as the economic sanctions imposed by the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu. Looking at the rising prices of food in the grain stores, the citizens finally realized what the economic sanctions were.
Snatch... The price of food was so high that the people could not accept it. They could not just watch as they starved to death, since there was a precedent for the rice riots in the Warring States Period, even if they starved to death, beheading was still a death, they would rather die than be full like a ghost.
In a restaurant in River City, the Minister of France reserved an entire floor, and the lower section of the tatami was filled with fine Japanese food. Normally, five Mexican eagle would be enough for this kind of feast, but today the owner apologetically said that such a feast had already increased to twenty-five eagles.
"It increased five times! Of course, Minister doesn't care about the few dozen silver coins, but for ordinary Japanese people, if the price has increased five times, then they will be forced to die … "
The one who followed him upstairs was Hidden Fog Kid, who had disguised himself as a man. She was currently wanted by all of Japan, and it was not easy for her to not dare to go on the streets.
Right now, Minister Luo Shen would not underestimate this woman. On the way, this woman said that she wanted to take revenge on Xiao Letian, but in the end, two days later, Tongzhi was ambushed.
"Please take a seat Lord Fog. I think you will definitely answer our questions today …"
"I know what you want to ask, but did you bring the thing I wanted?" Hidden Fog Kid took a sip of the sake, an expression of enjoyment on her face.
Luo Shen nodded his head. Behind him, French soldiers carried a big mouthful of wood box. Opening the box, he saw that there were ten Colt Revolvers and the box below was filled with bullets. Below it was a half-filled box of eagles.
Then, Minister Luo Shen took out a large envelope from his suit pocket. "I have signed ten documents and you can freely enter and leave the French colonies with these documents. Actually, as long as you do not break the law, you can go to the British colonies …"
The Minister threw the documents into the box and said with a smile, "Now you should satisfy my curiosity, right?"
Hidden Fog Kid tore off the disguise on her face, revealing her beautiful face, and watched her subordinate carry away a box of weapons and money. After drinking all of the sake s, her face flushed red. After the two of them were left in the restaurant, Hidden Fog Kid laid in the arms of Luo Shen like a lazy cat.
The two of them had already hooked up a long time ago, but each of them had their own political goals. Neither of them would interfere with their mission just because of something that they didn't care about.
The one who assassinated Ai Xinjueluozaichun is my subordinate, do you think that I haven't saved up any of my power and influence while I was operating in Japan, the Ryukyu, and the Great Qing for the past few years? "You're underestimating me …"
The more Luo Shen heard, the more he was shocked. He never thought that the Hidden Fog Kid would actually be an expert at dealing with spies.
Maybe the Hidden Fog Kid wanted to find a new master for him, she knew that there was no longer any political power in Japan that dared to take him in, so he had to find a more powerful backer.
If he wanted to receive attention from others, then he had to properly display his own strength. Only when it was useful would he get attention from others, Hidden Fog Kid's years of trials and hardships, those series of thrilling stories, left even Minister Luo Shen stunned listening.
At the same time, in the Osaka City's dungeon, Chun Cai, whose face was covered in blood, was also hung on a wooden frame.
"I'll give you one last chance. What exactly is your identity? Who is the person behind you? "Speak …" The roar still did not get a response, the furious intelligence officer raised his hand and whipped Chun Cai, causing him to tremble.
"Stop! Even if she was a murderer, she was still an eight or nine year old child? "How can you guys do that …" Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was the Great Qing Emperor, Ai Xinjueluozaichun.
Everyone paid their respects to the king before speaking impatiently, "There's no other way. We can't avoid torture. The assassin's mouth is too tough, and he still doesn't say anything …"
Zai Chun struggled to speak with a twisted expression on his face, "But … "But in the end, he's still an eight or nine-year-old child …"
"Child? Your Majesty shouldn't be fooled, our ninja has already been identified before, this assassin is at least 14 or 15 years old. She trains in a ninja technique, which can also be said to be a disguise technique.
"Ah?" She's already fourteen or fifteen? "So you're saying that it's even bigger than me …" Zai Chun was stunned.
The surrounding intelligence officer were all adults. When they saw the little emperor's face, they couldn't help but furrow their brows and say to themselves, "What happened? "No wonder everyone says that the royal family is very precocious. His Majesty is only 11 years old this year, and is only 12 years old according to age, how can he have such a heart?"
"All of you can leave first. I have some questions …" Maybe I can ask you something! "
The group of intelligence officer did not dare let His Majesty stay alone with the assassins. However, a figure in the darkness nodded, and these intelligence officer no longer spoke as they all left the dungeon.
The reason was simple. The Japanese people's feelings for rice were simply too deep. In their eyes, there was only rice that was pure white and sparkling, and any other kind of grain was just a side dish.
