1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 431 A Country Within a Country
"It was so offensive just now, please invite the three Haihans."

With the support of two daughters-in-law, Liu Shoushan put on his shoes and got off the couch.

After staying in the bed, Liu Shoushan got up and apologized to Pinkerton, and immediately took out four gold pounds and handed them to Pinkerton.

Pinkerton didn't say much, accepted the gold pound from Liu Shoushan, and took Liu Shoushan into the carriage specially prepared for Liu Shoushan at the gate of Mianyun Pavilion.

The delighted Liu Shoushan didn't think much about it, and happily got into the carriage.

After the carriage drove for a while, Liu Shoushan finally came to his senses.

He gradually realized that something was wrong.

He remembered that when he first boarded the carriage, the carriage had been heading south, and the Governor's Mansion in Hong Kong was to the west.

These people seem to be not kind, and they didn't come to pick him up to the governor's mansion.

Thinking of this, Liu Shoushan regretted it too much, and thought to himself: Smoking is a mistake!

"Japan is a poor and despicable place, and the Saga clan is also a poor clan. It is far less wealthy than Shangguo. It is not easy to raise compensation. I hope Shangguo can understand it." Bean-like beads of sweat.

The Saga domain is relatively wealthy among the domains.

Naoshima sat on the chair and said to Liang Yao, "Thank you Your Excellency, I feel much more comfortable."

"You are from Liang Yao, right? I was being careless, thinking that when I arrived in Hong Kong, I would be able to sit back and relax." Liu Shoushan said regretfully, his face ashen.

"Come on, bring a chair over here."

The activeness of the Japanese academic and cultural circles and the high degree of tolerance of different theories in the Japanese upper class are eye-opening.

----------

These theories believe that the consequences of abandoning all Japanese traditions are unbearable for Japan, and that Japanese traditional culture should be preserved as appropriate to maintain the stability of Japanese society.Learning from Western utensils and learning from harmony, Japan will be able to achieve self-improvement in a relatively stable manner.

"I asked you to come here today because of the compensation for Nagasaki Jochu." Liang Yao got straight to the point.

After reading some Japanese academic works, Liang Yao was not surprised to see Namasa Naomasa appearing in front of him in a suit.

Liu Shoushan, who had just got up, sat down paralyzed, his crotch already soaked in excrement and urine.

The all-round gap between the East and the West has made the Japanese feel inferior, and many Japanese have gradually developed admiration and yearning for Western civilization.They began to try the Western way of life.

The concession in Nagasaki, Japan is like a middle school.

The concession within the brick walls is a bustling world that fascinates many Japanese.

Nabeshima had calculated that it would take the Saga Domain ten years to pay off all the compensation with interest.

Doctrines that hold this point of view are called Radicals.

In order to meet Liang Yao, Nabeshima Naomasa specially changed into a suit and went to the concession in Nagasaki.

"President Liu, I'm afraid I have to wrong you." Pinkerton sneered.

Doctrines that hold this view are called moderate reformists.

The incident of Kurokawa's flight had a great shock to Japan.

The uneasy Naoshima bowed deeply to Liang Yao, and immediately knelt down in front of Liang Yao.

"But please rest assured, we will definitely pay off the debt owed by Shangguo. Even if we can't get the cash, we will find a way to raise compensation in kind."

"Meet Your Excellency the General!"

Not only can you use the pass to enter and exit the concession within the specified time, even when facing the warriors who used to show off their might, as long as the other party is not crazy, you only need to say that I am working for the Americans, and the other party will obediently bow their heads in front of you. You make way.

What surprised Liang Yao was that in the past four years since the founding of Japan, there are already many Japanese who can write articles and express their opinions in proficient English.

Liang Yao looked through these Japanese theories in the mansion of the commander of the US military stationed in Japan, that is, the mansion of Deng Yan.

After receiving Liang Yao's invitation letter, Naoshima Nao, the lord of Hizen Saga Domain, dared not neglect.

Californians spend a lot of money, and as long as they become their servants, they can live a rich, even superior life.

Whenever Americans in the Concession, in fact, mainly Californians recruited servants, there were often hundreds of Japanese looting a servant job.

"You need to pay for what you did in Borneo."

The towering brick walls separated the concession from the outside world, leaving only a few entrances and exits.

Liu Shoushan shouted to the driver outside: "Stop! Stop! I want to relieve myself!"

The academic world in Japan is also very lively, and many different theories have emerged after the founding of the country.

It is rumored that the dogs raised by the Americans in the concession eat better food than the servants of many public warriors.

The carriage continued on without any intention of stopping.

"Don't talk about Hong Kong, even if you go to London, our CIA will bring you to justice." Pinkerton said to Liu Shoushan expressionlessly.

This is unimaginable in the Qing Dynasty, where people are often convicted of crimes with words, and they will be punished by the nine clans.

Therefore, there is a popular saying in Nagasaki and the nearby feudal clans: It is better to be a dog of the American family than to be a servant of the samurai family.

"What do you mean?" Nabeshima Naomasa couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he was full of anticipation for the next negotiation.

However, the indemnities of the "U.S.-Japan Treaty of Goodwill" and the "Treaty of Nagasaki" were like two heavy mountains, weighing Naoshima out of breath.

But now, they have only paid back for three years, and it is more difficult to repay each year.

As soon as Pinkerton finished speaking, an indescribable stench filled the carriage.

And these intersections are all guarded by armed US troops stationed in Japan, and they need a pass to enter the concession.

Of course, there are also voices against abandoning all traditions.

However, this does not prevent Liang Yao from reading these academic works.

Some people advocate abandoning everything that Japan has done in the past, and learning from Western countries in an all-round way.

"If you want to learn, learn to the end."

"Have you ever thought that the matter of compensation can be negotiated." Liang Yao picked up the tea cup and said with a sip of tea.

As long as you understand the Chinese characters in the article, you can still roughly understand the point of view you want to express in the article.

Seeing Naoshima Naoshima kneeling on the ground in a tight suit, Liang Yao ordered someone to bring a chair and said.

"The reparations from the Saga Domain will be repaid, but starting this year, the repayment from the Saga Domain will be used as military expenses to purchase arms from California and hire instructors from the Western Brigade to help you train a modern army." Liang Yao put down his hands. teacup.

Nabeshima Naomasa squeezed his thigh hard, and the pain told him that he was not dreaming.

Naomasa Nabeshima said very excitedly: "If so, Nabeshima is very grateful!"

However, while excited, Nabeshima Naomasa also had his doubts. He said, "It's just that we signed a treaty with the American government? Can you decide this matter only through you?"
