At the headquarters of the Korean Railway and Telegraph Company in Seoul, a group of Korean Civilized Party members were studying the documents of the Fourth and Five-year Plan. After Jin Yujun finished reading the Species Preservation Compendium, he couldn't help but sigh, "His Majesty is kind and far-sighted. It's really admirable!"
The members of the Korean Civilized Party also expressed their agreement. With the Restoration Party's Jin Yujun in the lead, forming a party was already very fashionable in Korea and Japan. As a political party, one must have theories and political opinions. Not to mention those who were purely looking for something new, the more decent political parties in Korea and Japan were currently carefully studying the various documents of the China Restoration Party.
Kim Yoon-sik, Yu Yoon-chung, Kim Hong-ji, Kim Yu-kyun, Park Yong-hyo, and Hong Young-sik were his classmates. After graduating from the Nanjing Railway Institute, they returned to work at the Korean Railway and Telegraph Company. The Korean Railway and Telegraph Company was funded by China and owned by China, but it was also a hot state-owned enterprise in Korea.
30% of the staff were appointed by China, and the other 70% were provided by Korea. China reviewed them, and the Korean government was responsible for the salaries of all the staff. The general manager of the Korean Railway and Telegraph Company was equivalent to a minister in the Korean court. He was completely in charge of the Railway and Telegraph Company and also had a little say in Korean politics.
Jin Yujun and others were middle-level cadres in the Korean Railway and Telegraph Company, so they could play a big role when using local Korean staff. After a few years of operation and running-in, the railway company was not as busy as it was at the beginning. Of course, in the winter after the end of China's Three Meetings, everything could be put aside first.
His Majesty Vézé, the common emperor of China and Korea, did write insightful views in the Species Preservation Compendium. Principles, especially scientific principles, were easy to understand. This Species Preservation Compendium was part of the "environmental protection" proposed in China's Fourth and Five-year Plan. Vézé hated "green terrorism", but this did not mean that Vézé would oppose "environmental protection" and "species preservation." The establishment of nature reserves would allow the ecosystem to be maintained normally and ensure the diversity of the ecosystem. When Vézé proposed these theories, he also gave some examples. Examples include ginseng farming.
Vézé's theories were commonplace in the 21st century. In order to adapt to the natural environment, there were different types of ginseng. These different types of medicinal properties adapted to the different needs of humans. Zhan Ginseng's cultivation was to choose the types of ginseng that humans needed. However, ginseng cultivation could not destroy the ginseng production areas in the mountains, nor could they destroy the diversity of ginseng species. Ginsengs did not evolve their current characteristics for humans. Humans chose to plant species that were useful to them, and at the same time, allowed wild ginsengs to continue to live and develop in their own way. This was a relatively harmonious concept of "species preservation."
Of course, the preservation of species was a very important matter, but behind any political concept, there were political goals and political and economic benefits. The political purpose behind Wei Ze's blatant propaganda and established ideas was to move the mountain people from the mountain area to the plains as much as possible. At least, they should find places suitable for living and growing crops. The original mountainous area could be used as a nature reserve, with trees, orchards, and tea plantations. This was not only an environmental problem, nor was it an economic problem. In essence, it was a social problem that brought all Chinese people into an industrial society.
In the eyes of the civilized people of Korea, Vézé's proposal presented a different view. After praising Vézé, Kim Yujun said emotionally, "His Majesty said that in order to develop the industry well, we need to get rid of the 'superstition that shrouds these industries'. Take ginseng for example. If it is advertised as a cure for all diseases, or even to bring the dead back to life, it will only do harm to the ginseng industry. Positioning ginseng as a daily health care product is the best way to position the ginseng industry. "
Many years ago, Korea gradually changed from collecting ginseng to growing ginseng. Because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China had always been far away from ginseng production areas, so ginseng gradually became a myth among the people. As the cities of China grew, large amounts of ginseng began to be imported into China. On the shelf behind the counter of the restaurant, there was a glass wine jar soaked with ginseng, which made the restaurant look more classy.
"If we can open up farmland in Korea and plant more ginseng. Just this alone is enough to let the people of Korea have no worries about food and clothing. " When talking about this, Kim Yujun's tone became more and more excited. He wished that everything he hoped for could be realized in the blink of an eye.
Kim Yoon-sik, Yu Yoon-chung, and Kim Hong-ji were older, and they had always been in the pro-China faction. They did not believe that selling ginseng to China could solve Korea's financial problems, and they did not refute Kim Yoo-jun's point of view. It was not a bad thing to increase Korea's income. Kim Yunzhi asked Kim Yujun, "Do you want to see the king?"
Kim Yujun smiled and said, "Sir, please make a plan. This is a very important matter, and we need to have a detailed plan. If we go to see the king rashly and get rejected, it will only delay a lot of things. "
The most sociable person in the civilized party was Kim Yujun. With him volunteering, the other members of the civilized party had no intention of fighting for this. Yu Yunzhong said, "It's best to deal with this matter at the same time. It's important to see the king, but we also need someone to contact the ginseng farmers in our country."
Kim Yunzhi agreed with Yu Yunzhong's point of view. He nodded and replied, "We need someone to contact the local ginseng farmers when we go to the north."
Pu Yongxiao immediately volunteered and said, "I'm going to the north to check in a few days. Let me do this."
Seeing that the people of the civilized party were taking the initiative, Kim Yujun sighed and said, "When I was studying in China, I only heard that there was no concept of rest on the railway. After I worked on it myself, I realized that there was no rest during the New Year. Instead, it got busier and busier. It's really not easy. "
Jin Yunzhi also felt deeply about this. It was almost the New Year, and everyone was busy. After a year, they had to buy New Year's goods and go home for the New Year. Only the railway had more people to deal with the peak transportation before the New Year. If the people of the civilized party were officials in the court, they would have been crowded with other officials who had come to greet and send gifts. At this time, they were busy all day, but they were working hard for other families. Although there were bonuses and allowances during the New Year, and there were some returns on their income, this feeling was really strange. Kim Yunzhi sighed and said, "It's not easy for a country to become civilized. This kind of hard work is only a small matter. If the country's old system is not changed, it will absolutely not work. "
After everyone said what they had to do, the meeting was temporarily dismissed. The managers of the Korean Railway and the Telegraph Company were all from the Ministry of Railways of China. There were many rules in the Ministry of Railways. If someone violated the rules and delayed work, they would be fined or even fired. There was no mercy. Among the dozens of people who came with them, seven or eight unlucky people had already been fired. Everyone knew that they couldn't afford to offend the Chinese officials, so they didn't care if they were happy or not. They didn't dare to delay what they had to do.
It wasn't only the Koreans who were studying China's documents. In Tokyo, Japan, the senior officials of the Meiji government were also organizing their own study. The Southwest War finally ended in 1882. The war, which lasted for several years, made the already bad situation of Japan even worse. In the first few years of the war, the government army was defeated in Kyushu. The fighting spirit of the Satsuma Domain's gentry army was strong, and Saigo Takamori had a huge appeal. As the war progressed, the gentry of the four countries and the island gradually began to respond to Saigo Takamori's call.
Okubo Toshimichi adopted an extremely tough approach to the gentry of the four countries and the island who rebelled. He arrested a group, imprisoned a group, and killed a group. Even Ito Hirobumi couldn't bear to watch such a high-handed method. In November 1879, Okubo Toshimichi was assassinated by the gentry. As a result, Ito Hirobumi, who had the authority of Okubo Toshimichi, didn't compromise with the gentry. He, Yamayama Aritomo, and the other Choshu faction continued to take measures against Kyushu.
When the attack failed, the Meiji government pretended to allow Kyushu to govern itself. At the end of 1881, Saigo Takamori raised taxes in Kyushu in order to protect himself, causing the local gentry of Kyushu to be quite dissatisfied. He bribed the local gentry to assassinate Saigo Takamori. The government army then launched an attack on the powerless Kyushu. After more than half a year of bloody war, the local gentry of Kyushu was finally completely suppressed. Once again, Japan was unified.
For Japan, the best way to do next is to learn from China. China's five-year plan was the most important thing for the governments of the world's industrial countries. Europe and the United States all used the market model. When an industry was on the rise, everyone borrowed money in the financial market to start a business, and the industry bubble became hot. When the industry's profits were insufficient, they started to sell the industry's stocks. First, the stock market collapsed, then the stock market collapsed, and a large number of financial companies went bankrupt, and the country entered an economic crisis. After a few years of recovery, new speculation themes appeared, so the economy began to recover, and a new round of economic recovery.
In China, this kind of irrational investment was replaced by the five-year plan. The state invested in large industries, and all investments had plans and steps. No one could carry out financial speculation on these industries, and no one would suffer from the rise and fall of these industries. Because of the stability of society, China was able to calmly arrange in education, industry, agriculture, science and technology, and military. This process seemed calm, but in fact, it was extremely fast. If one really dared to believe the frightening economic data released by China, China was already the world's most powerful country.
As soon as China's Tripartite Conference ended, the Japanese Meiji government tried to collect all the China documents they could get, and through careful study, they found the secret of the rise of China, as well as a suitable way for Japan to borrow.
