As the factories of the seven major consortiums began to work one after another, many workers earned a little money, which they could use to buy food and supplies on the black market.

This forms a perfect cycle.

The volume of goods shipped by Hardy is larger, and the black market business is more prosperous than before. With the spread of the stalls, it is expected that it will not be a big problem to earn tens of millions of dollars a month.

In fact, as an economic special envoy, Japan's food and material restrictions can be completely relaxed. Now the United States has a very large food production, which cannot be used up in the country, but Hardy still adopts the previous restrictive policy.

why?

This can make more money.

Why give them parity when they can sell for 10 times the price.

This situation will not change for at least a year.

The most important thing is that they use the black market Hardy to encircle the Japanese gangsters. Now the power of the 'Straw Hats' is growing very fast, and it has become the largest society in Japan, covering all regions of Japan.

This is very helpful to Hardy's later plans.

 …

The Japanese Prime Minister received a call from the office of Economic Special Envoy Hadi, saying that he had something to discuss with him, and Shigeru Yoshida hurried over.

Hardy hosted Shigeru Yoshida at his apartment.

Now Hadi has greater power than before, in charge of the Japanese economy and culture, Yoshida Shigeru is more respectful than before.

The servant brought two cups of tea.

A cup was placed in front of Shigeru Yoshida.

Your Excellency, please drink tea. Hardy said.

Shigeru Yoshida hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time respectfully said: I dare not let Mr. Hardy call you Your Excellency, please call me Yoshida.

Hardy took a puff of his cigar, put it back in the ashtray, and said to Shigeru Yoshida, I recently discovered something that needs to be changed, so I asked Prime Minister Yoshida to come over and study it.

Ah, Mr. Special Envoy, please tell me.

I saw a document,

Prostitutes and the brothel industry used to be legal in Japan, right? ' asked Hardy.

Yes, it is indeed legal.

Japan was a feudal society before the defeat of the war, and the brothel business has been a legal business for thousands of years. In some movies, prostitutes are arrested, and the women who are not legally registered are arrested. As long as they are legally registered, they are legal.

Later, MacArthur issued a decree banning brothels and prostitute business throughout Japan, and then legal brothels were banned, isn't that right? Hardy asked.

Yes, Mr. Hardy. That decree was issued by General MacArthur. He felt that the prostitution business was indecent, so he ordered the brothel business to be illegal. Later, I signed the government executive order.

Shigeru Yoshida is very clear about this matter, because he did it.

So is the prostitute business stopped now? Hardy asked.

Yoshida Shigeru was taken aback.

Then he said embarrassingly: No, someone once reported to me that all those women are now engaged in underground business, and more and more people are working as prostitutes. The number may be even more than before.

Hardy nodded.

Seriously.

I think this order is a failure. First of all, some states in the United States have legalized prostitution, which is also part of the culture.

Also, some things cannot be prohibited by a single decree. Not only have they not disappeared, but they have increased. According to my research, the number of women working in this industry is probably ten times that of before.

In the past, those brothels were legal and controlled by the government, and those women had regular physical examinations, but now, they go underground, and no one knows if they are sick, and if they get sick, they will infect more people, which will bring great harm to society. Bad influence.

Shigeru Yoshida nodded, agreeing with what Hardy said.

The business of prostitutes has been around for a long time, and Shigeru Yoshida doesn't think there is any problem of immorality, but is more worried about losing management.

The most important thing is that in the past, the government could collect taxes for the brothel business, but now it's all gone underground. The government can't get a penny, and it has caused a lot of loss to the government's revenue. What do you think? Hardy said.

That's true. Yoshida Shigeru said.

So I plan to issue a new decree to lift the previous ban and legalize the brothel business again. This will not only strengthen management, but also increase government revenue. What do you think? Hardy looked at Shigeru Yoshida and asked .

Ah~ It's good to untangle this, but what about General MacArthur?

This order was issued by MacArthur, and Shigeru Yoshida was very worried about angering MacArthur.

Hardy looked at Shigeru Yoshida, and said in a deep voice: I am the special economic envoy, responsible for Japan's economy and culture. Doesn't the issue of whether brothels are legal or not belong to the category of economics and culture? Since MacArthur made a wrong decision, I have every right to correct him.

I hope that the Japanese government will issue a new law as soon as possible to remove the original ban. Of course, although it is declared legal, it cannot be opened wherever it wants like before. I think some regulations should be formulated.

For example, all these characteristic industries are concentrated in one area. It is legal to do this kind of business in that area, but it is illegal to go out of this area. This is more convenient for management.

 …

Shigeru Yoshida left Hardy's apartment and sighed slightly after getting into the car. Hardy's special envoy was exercising his rights, and this decree was promulgated by MacArthur. If the government releases it now, it will definitely make MacArthur angry.

It is obvious that these two emperors are fighting for power, and they are being splinted in the middle.

No one dares to offend.

He can't afford to offend anyone. Now Hadi is in charge of Japan's economy, not only the administrative power, but more importantly, Hadi is truly in control of Japan's economic lifeline.

Today's large Japanese companies are all controlled by the seven major consortiums.

Japan's financial industry is all controlled by the seven major consortiums.

Most of Japan's small industries are controlled by the financial industry, and are also indirectly controlled by the seven major consortiums.

Offend Hardy,

Just one thought from him can cause the Japanese economy to collapse.

And MacArthur.

In charge of the appointment of the government of Japan, even life and death to seize power.

Yoshida Shigeru felt too difficult.

Back at the Prime Minister's Office, Shigeru Yoshida immediately called a meeting of cabinet members. In fact, the ministers present felt indifferent to the opening of the brothel business, and the matter itself was not a big deal.

The biggest problem is that it involves the power struggle between Hardy and MacArthur, which worries everyone.

Finally, the Minister of Health and Welfare tentatively said: How about we secretly send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief MacArthur to inform him of this matter. If General MacArthur objects, he will naturally go to Special Envoy Hardy.

Both of them are big shots, let them fight for themselves.

Special Envoy Hardy said that a decision must be made within three days at most, Shigeru Yoshida said.

If General MacArthur has an opinion, I estimate that it will take less than three days to respond. The Minister of Health and Welfare said.

Although this proposal was not wise, there was no better way, and Shigeru Yoshida immediately sent someone to secretly send a telegram to MacArthur.

MacArthur has been at the base in Osaka. After receiving the telegram and reading it, to be honest, he felt very uncomfortable. This ban on prostitution was issued by him. Now that Hardy wants to change it, it is obviously a slap in the face.

If it was before, MacArthur would definitely stop Hardy.

But now the matter of his cousin Judson has not been dealt with properly, he is afraid of being found out, so now he tries to keep a low profile and does not want to conflict with Hardy.

Crumple up the telegram and throw it in the wastebasket.

Just pretend you don't know about it.

Three days later, MacArthur still did not respond. The Japanese cabinet members actually understood what MacArthur meant, but many people were still surprised, because this showed that MacArthur was not willing to offend Special Envoy Hardy.

Hardy's status in their hearts has increased by one point.

in a few days.

The Japanese government issued a decree to lift the previous prohibition on brothel business, but there are other regulations, that is, operating within a specific area, beyond which it is illegal.

The right to operate is authorized by the government.

There are many benefits of restricting the scope of operation, it is easy to form a large scale, and it is easier to manage. As soon as this decree came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention from Japanese society.

Many people rejoiced.

Especially men.

After all, this is a tradition that has persisted for thousands of years. It is a pity to cancel it. With a legal place, there is no need to hide it in the future.

In fact, the Japanese government is also very willing to see this result. Before the ban was issued, all ostensible businesses were transferred underground, and the government could no longer collect taxes. Now after the legalization, the government can still collect a tax.

And don't underestimate this tax. The Japanese government is very poor now, and this income is definitely not a small income.

Yomiuri Shimbun.

The restoration of the legalization of brothels has many benefits. Practitioners will undergo regular medical examinations and become safer. The government can collect taxes and have legal protection. The practitioners are also more stable and the society is more active.

The Asahi Shimbun.

Japanese society should have its own characteristics. Custom Street is one of Japan's business cards. It may attract more people to Japan in the future. Japan should become more open. This is very good. We should shout, 'Open Japan welcomes The world is coming to Japan'.

 …

Many businessmen immediately saw the benefits in this, but when they approached the government and hoped to obtain management rights, they found that they could not get them at all, and all the management rights in various places were given out.

Hardy asked to open up this business, naturally he wanted to control this business. He had previously asked Duncan to unify the gangs for the custom street business.
