Remember for a second【】

Three million pounds, of course Chuemon couldn't put it all into his pocket. First, 150,000 pounds were allocated and presented to the French minister in the Qing Dynasty, Bourblon. Without his cover, Tokugawa Xingye could not have mastered so many real estate buildings in the concession, and no one had come to move it.

Then the French embassy and consulates, as well as various departments in the concession, entrusted Bourbron to spend 200,000 pounds. The King of Hell is aggressive, and little devils are difficult to deal with. Even if some people don't contribute at all, they will still be given a share.

The land of Tokugawa Xingye has not been sold out, right? There is still more to be sold in the future, so I don't know when to use them. Give them a little now, they have accepted the love of Tokugawa Industrial, and it will be convenient for them to do things in the future.

In the end, it is the share of Bailey Court who has returned to China. Let's call it "Drawing Water Don't Forget the Well Digger", but it's actually because Bailey Court is shaking now.

Paris Police Commissioner!

It is said that he was promoted after returning to China, and it is true. Don't think that this position is just a petty official who only cares about the public security in Paris. To be honest, you won't be changed to become a high-ranking official if you go out. Not only does he have tens of thousands of police officers under his hands, but he also actually manages the "Little Crown" territory near the Île-de-France.

Tens of thousands of police officers obey orders, and the budget is huge. Moreover, as the head of the security force in the capital, he had to be a cronie among Napoleon III's cronies.

As for a lot of official business, hehe, what people like is the feeling of being involved in official business. This is called seeking to be motivated, you know, Bailey Court is a big motivated person.

So, seeing that Baileycourt has a bright future, Chuemon rushed to wire him a sum of 150,000 pounds. I hope that he will make persistent efforts in Paris to maintain the friendship between Japan and France, and it will also facilitate the diplomatic envoys stationed in Europe to carry out diplomacy in Paris.

After the 500,000 is delivered, what to do with the remaining 2.5 million?

Chuemon had already planned to allocate 500,000 pounds to further enrich the development fund of Ezo and Kata. Since Songping Qixuan proposed to set up a development fund, the development and immigration work with special funds has been greatly strengthened. Ando Xinzheng is not a complete waste. After all, he has a family background and can normally do something.

You ask him to innovate, he probably doesn't have the ability, but you tell him what to do well, what the specific content is, and then if the funding is sufficient, he can also do it. Otherwise, why did the Tokugawa family choose him as the backup senior middle school in the Muge? It was because this person lacked a little political wisdom and was not very good.

It's better to do the old Zhongge · Ezo pioneer.

There are two million more, and the place has also been determined. The British had officially recognized the Tokugawa shogunate's establishment of a colony in New Guinea, while de facto control of Palau. With the recognition of the British Empire, the relationship between the shogunate and other countries is not too bad. Under the framework of the international order, these two places are basically belonged to the Tokugawa shogunate.

So naturally, the shogunate had to start preparing to develop around New Britain and the eastern half of New Guinea. Where does the money come from? Where do people come from?

The money is here!

Now 1.5 million pounds are allocated to build a colonial center in Rabaul (called Rabaul in Japanese), a place that is considered a good port. Recruit poor peasants in Japan who are willing to sign a five-year contract and go to Rabaul.

The model of recruiting workers has long been proficient. The shogunate developed Ezo and Kata by signing contracts and recruiting short-term workers for two years to develop them. Although the early conditions were indeed quite difficult, the shogunate's wages were in place.

Today's common people are not afraid of suffering at all. For them, hardship is nothing, as long as they can earn money. So many people changed their contracts to five-year contracts, because the wages of five-year contracts were higher, and they earned money in Ezo and Huatai before they could go home to buy land, build a house and marry a wife.

This is how many young men in poor rural areas embarked on the road to develop Ezo and Huatai, and some of them have now taken root in the north. After all, the shogunate stipulates that if you are willing to stay in Ezo, you will be directly allocated fifty acres of land, and the first three years will be completely tax-free.

With this successful experience, it is not difficult to recruit migrant workers to Rabaul. The main thing that is lacking is such a starting capital.

Moreover, it is necessary to find someone first to level out the coastal mangrove tidal flat area of ​​Rabaul, and only then can it be developed, constructed, and even prosperous.

In the early days, there were not many people, just a few hundred people. Tokugawa Xingye selected a few honest and hard-working staff to lead the team, brought them enough food, and everything was left to talk about.

By the way, speaking of this, Chuyouemon remembers that Imamura was later pioneered in Rabaul, and it seems that it is difficult for rice to survive in Rabaul. Only upland rice can be planted, so the Japanese army basically planted upland rice.

In addition to upland rice, only cassava and sweet potatoes can be grown. This is a big deal, and it has to be told in advance. Anyway, there are many places in Japan that grow upland rice, and the planting technology is OK, but the yield is low. It is not difficult to have low yields, the place is desolate, and it is enough to plant widely and harvest less.

By the time the place is developed, Chuyouemon will count the time, and the Taiping Army will almost be finished. A considerable number of them were sold to work as miners in Chile. They can't go to sea, and the Qing court chased and killed them fiercely.

If you have to go horizontally and vertically, why don't you just find a way to buy them all and go to Rabaul. Going to Rabaul is better than going to the black mines in Chile, and there is still hope of returning home in the future.

Finally, since the development of the colony of New Guinea has been launched, the shogunate can openly set up transit stations and trading stations in Manila and other places in Luzon. After the transit station and the trading station are built, there will definitely be Japanese immigrants moving slowly but powerfully to Manila and other places.

hum...

^0^ One second to remember【】

As long as someone is there, UU reading www.uukanshu.com everything will be easy. It's not just a sentence to find an excuse or something. At that time, try to keep Britain and France from intervening, then the shogunate alone will face the Spanish army in Luzon. With the strength of the shogunate, it may not be enough to beat others, but to beat the Western Army in Luzon is still easy.

Along the way, Wake Island in the Mariana Islands and Guam Island can also be captured, so that the tentacles of the Tokugawa Shogunate Navy can penetrate into the Western Pacific region and establish a relatively complete and rigorous island system.

Aw, it's pretty nice to think about it, but now it's better to recruit the poor first to build the deserted city of Rabaul, a new island of New Britain. It's too ambitious, right? It's not good. Let's take it step by step.
