Zhu Zian knew that Xie Yuan had a lot of trouble in the Hangzhou exam, and it was only because Shi Diwen had paved the way for him in advance that he could go so smoothly.After he joined the mission, he realized that his academic ability was greatly different from that of Haihan's peers, and he could hardly be qualified for a senior position in Haihan's bureaucratic system.But if he just continues to be a clerk, he is really unwilling. Only by improving his strength as soon as possible can he solve his problem.
During his mission, he also learned a lot about Haihan's domestic situation, especially the cultural and educational aspects that he was most interested in. Only then did he know that even the current king of North Korea, Li Yi, had been to Haihan before he took the throne. I studied abroad in Sanya, the capital of China, for a period of time.Since the king of North Korea was able to go, of course he could too, so Zhu Zian decided to study abroad.
Shi Chengwu didn't expect that Zhu Zian would want to go to school first, which was obviously different from Shi Diwen's plan to appoint Zhu Zian, so he persuaded him immediately: "It's not that simple to study abroad. You have a special status and you need to Arrangements can only be made after the approval of the executive committee of our country, and you will have to live in the South China Sea for a long time, so you may not be so easy to adapt to."
Zhu Zi'an heard that Shi Chengwu wanted to dissuade him, so he asked for advice: "I don't know much about Haihan Kingdom, and I haven't considered it well enough. Is there any better way, Mr. Shi?"
Shi Chengwu said: "At the time when the old and the new are handing over, there are still many vacancies in the Donghai Region. I think it's better for you to stay and work on the work related to the handover. This will also give full play to your strengths. As for the matter of studying, we will discuss it in the future." In the past few years, many government-run academies will move from the south to Hangzhou one after another, and there will be no delay in arranging you to study further."
What Shi Chengwu said was true. The East China Sea region is currently taking over Anhui, Jiangxi and other regions from Daming, and during the handover of government affairs, military affairs, and finance, knowledgeable and prestigious officials need to come forward to preside over them.Although Zhu Zian was not an expert, he had a prominent background after all. If he was assigned to be in charge of coordination, the local officials who originally belonged to Daming would of course give him some face, and maybe it would get twice the result with half the effort.
As for the relocation of the government-run academy, it was originally planned to be implemented simultaneously with the relocation plan, so it was no secret.In particular, institutions of higher learning that specialize in advanced training for civil and military officials must be relocated to the new capital of Hangzhou along with the executive committee. However, there is no specific timetable for when the relocation will be completed.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Tao Hongfang also persuaded: "Zian, you are willing to let go of your identity and develop in our country. This is of course a good thing. I suggest that you might as well think carefully about how to do it for our country, for Daming, and for our country. Do yourself a favor."
If Zhu Zian wanted to achieve a win-win situation for the three parties, then of course he had to suit his own identity and engage in the coordination work during the handover of the old and new dynasties. As long as he could effectively ensure the smooth progress of the handover, his personal career would surely be bright.
Tao Hongfang's suggestion, in fact, Zhu Zi'an had thought about it long ago, and he also understood his value to Haihan.It's just that after going abroad for such a big circle, he can't help but have doubts about his ability and worry that he will not be able to do related work.
Of course, Zhu Zian's real ability is not too bad. Shi Diwen arranged for him to serve in the missions visiting Japan and North Korea. Although it was a test, it was also a recognition of his ability.Although Tao Hongfang recognized his self-motivation, he also believed that it was not the best solution for him to study abroad in Sanya at this time. Zhu Zian's identity was almost useless in Sanya. He could only make full use of it by staying in the East China Sea region or returning to Shandong. his worth.
After everyone's persuasion, Zhu Zian gave up the idea of studying abroad for the time being.In the final analysis, his current situation is that he is under the eaves, and he cannot choose which way to go in the future. He can only follow Haihan's arrangement and take one step at a time.
In addition to the heavy snow that comes with the new year, there is also good news on the negotiating table.In the first meeting in 1656, the mission finally reached an agreement with the shogunate on several trade cooperation projects, and signed a supplementary agreement based on the commercial treaty between the two countries.
Although the content of the agreement did not fully realize the conditions proposed by the mission earlier, basically every topic has achieved certain results, and only some adjustments have been made in accordance with the requirements of the shogunate.
In terms of import tariffs, the shogunate promised to reduce the tax rate on 48 kinds of Haihan products included in the tax reduction list, but such preferential treatment is limited to Nagasaki and Edo.This move was also to encourage Haihan merchants to sell their goods to the trading ports directly controlled by the shogunate, so as to weaken several other ports that were actually controlled by local vassal states even though they had obtained business permits from the shogunate.
Regarding the improvement of the trade settlement method requested by Haihan, the shogunate also agreed to use Haihan banknotes on a larger scale or settle accounts through accounts opened at Haihan Bank.But this so-called "larger scope" is also limited to the areas directly under the shogunate, and will not be open to the whole country.
On the other hand, Haihan proposed to open transnational commercial ships with fixed destinations, but the shogunate resolutely limited the opening location to Nagasaki Port.In the first phase, four routes will be opened from Nagasaki to Ningbo Dinghai Port, Jilong Port in Taiwan, Quanzhou Port in Fujian Province, and Qingdao Port in Shandong Province.At this stage, all the ships are operated by the Haihan cargo ship, and the maritime merchants under the shogunate will be considered to join the operation later.
Now that commercial ships with fixed routes are to be put into operation, the establishment of an exclusive port area in Nagasaki will be approved as an additional condition.However, the shogunate still has a strong sense of vigilance about this, and has set clear restrictions on the location and construction scale of the exclusive port area. the measures taken.
However, the mission didn't mind this. The isolation from the urban area meant that there was still plenty of room for expansion in the surrounding areas. As long as it operated slowly, a new urban area would be developed around the exclusive port area, and thousands of Han people would move there to settle there.After one or two generations, it will be difficult to say whether the surname of Nagasaki Port is Tokugawa or Haihan.
But the arms trade, which the shogunate is most concerned about, is not as smooth as commercial trade.Although the executive committee agreed in principle to sell standard equipment to the shogunate, it imposed corresponding restrictions on the type and quantity of the equipment, and the price was also very expensive, far exceeding the price level provided to allies.
In particular, the standard warships that the shogunate is eager to obtain, because the construction capacity is in short supply, the first ship will not be delivered until two years at the earliest, and [-]% of the total order amount must be paid as a deposit before signing the contract. Such conditions make the shogunate quite for dissatisfaction.
