I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

It's really a downturn in the world, and people's hearts are not old.

And what they get is only the right to survival, citizenship, and the poor right to food and clothing.

The third item is Zhu Fugui's surprise.

When he first built the Statue of Liberty, Zhu Fugui never thought that such a spectacle could actually earn cultural value from tourists.

Zhu Fugui's consideration at the time was only to pave the way for his own issuance of Daming banknotes.

Due to well-known reasons, Daming Treasure Banknotes did not have a good reputation, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was notorious.

Therefore, without a large amount of precious metal reserves as an anchor, the banknotes issued by Zhu Fugui can easily become waste paper.

Of course Zhu Fugui didn't have that much gold.

The silver will be directly made into silver dollars as auxiliary coins.

So something like aluminum is the best choice.

To show the financial strength and reputation of the Ming treasury, there is nothing more direct than to pile a "golden mountain" directly on the square in the center of the capital.

And this aluminum Statue of Liberty is the "golden mountain" that Zhu Fugui needs to issue banknotes.

But now it seems that this operation is too cost-effective.

It not only has the function of stabilizing currency, but also the function of harvesting cultural value, which is quite nice.

As for point 4, even Zhu Fugui was at a loss.

Obviously I don't have any operations and layouts, but the system always shows that a small amount of cultural value is generated from time to time from the southeast, which is really weird.

Unable to understand it, Zhu Fugui can only classify it into the cultural value of unknown reasons.

With these four sources of cultural value, Zhu Fugui's construction of a strong army can be slowly launched.

But even so, throttling is still necessary.

Therefore, in the new industrial park, the flour mill has been put into use, and the watch assembly plant is under planning.

But generally speaking, this industrial park is relatively deserted compared to the industrial area on Tenglong Mountain.

At this moment, in the flour transfer room, several men are working hard to carry the flour.

Their bare upper bodies were dyed off-white by flour, and their heads were tied with a white headband with a golden sun and moon drawn in the middle.

Although these people are not tall, they work very hard. According to the director of the horse factory, these Japanese are better than the mules of the production team, and they are natural social animals.

boom!

Suddenly, a bag of flour slipped from the shoulder of a man with a height of only 158.

And he carried as many as 4 bags of flour in total before.

"Shimura-kun, you're slacking off!"

Noichiro Morishita unloaded the 6 bags of flour on his shoulders on the transport truck, and bent down to pick up the flour dropped by his companion.

"I'm sorry, Morishita-kun!" The little man called Shimura quickly apologized.

But Morishita still said seriously: "Speaking so quietly, do you still want to help His Majesty move the flour? I can't hear your apology at all!"

"I'm sorry, Morishita-kun!" Shimura quickly shouted with all his strength.

"Still can't hear you!"

"I'm sorry, Morishita-kun!"

It wasn't until Shimura shouted hoarsely that Morishita nodded and said: "Masters, we are honored to come to Daming to carry flour for Daming. This is our honor as warriors. Don't let me see you slacking off again!"

"But……"

Another samurai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Morishita: "There is nothing but, the emperor of Japan, no! The emperor of Ming Dynasty, yes!"

"Only the Emperor Ming can lead us Asians to defeat the whites. This is the real righteousness. If any of you slack off in righteousness, I will definitely not let him go!"

When Noichiro Morishita taught his younger brothers a lesson, the workshop director hurried over and said, "You guys, Long Live God wants to see you, hurry up and get ready, take a bath, and don't go face the saint with a stinky smell!"

"Hi!"

Noichiro Morishita hurriedly bowed ninety degrees, "Thank you, Director, for passing on the message!"

"Did I say the springs on the waists of you Japanese people? Stop bowing and go take a shower!"

As he said that, the workshop director took out a few tickets from his pocket and said, "This is a water ticket for the bathhouse. You can take a hot bath. You can use it first, and remember to return it to me when you become regular workers!"

Chapter 121

"Don't be too reserved, sit down, sit down."

In the reception room on the first floor of Fugui Palace, Zhu Fugui was dressed in red casual clothes, nestled comfortably on the soft and wide leather sofa, eating the grapes peeled by Yin Susu.

And Noichiro Morishita and his younger brothers walked in respectfully under the leadership of the guards.

Because I felt that Ii Hiroshi was old and cunning, and he was not easy to deal with, so this time Zhu Fugui specially sent Noichiro Morishita who seemed to be not very bright.

Zhu Fugui heard that this young man had worked more than donkeys in the flour mill, and he looked full of vigor, and was very popular with the factory manager and workshop director.

So as soon as he came in, Zhu Fugui kindly asked the maids to give them seats.

Except for Lao Li who is the housekeeper, there are no eunuchs in Fugui Palace, only maids of honor.

The 18 geisha who were originally assigned to the Jiaofang Secretary and later forced to become idols for Ming Dynasty are now serving as maids in the Fugui Palace.

But when fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, the two groups of people have no intention of getting close at all.

The past years are unbearable to look back on, and no one wants to mention or think of them.

In fact, more than a month ago, these women didn't even talk about women's rights, they were not even human beings, they were just talking gifts.

But now, even though she is just a maid of honor, she has finally gained human dignity.

Women's liberation is an inevitable requirement for the liberation and development of productive forces, and it is also an objective reflection of the changes in the social and economic structure after women in the Ming Dynasty entered factories and became female workers.

It's like the new China of later generations, the well-known, sturdy old ladies from the Northeast and the young Shanghai men who can cook.

Although this is a far-flung stereotype, it actually reflects one thing.

That is, for a long period of time after the founding of New China, the Northeast region and Shanghai were the regions with the highest degree of industrialization in our country.

In a family composed of both male and female workers, women are no longer in an economically dependent position, but gain equality through their own hands and labor.

This is true feminism.

However, some so-called "female boxing" in later generations advocated that men make money to support their families and women are as beautiful as flowers. That is really turning the wheel of history and tarnishing the reputation of countless working women.

This kind of person, to put it mildly, is the concubine or concubine of the Republic of China, and to put it bluntly, it is just the sister of Fenglou Kiln.

Regarding this trend, whether it is from the perspective of liberating the labor force and increasing producers, or from the perspective of changing customs, advocating new fashions, and earning cultural value, Zhu Fugui resolutely fights against it.

Therefore, these original geisha did nothing except bring chairs and tea, and their demeanor changed slightly.

Morishita blushed blushing with the honor of receiving the seat from the emperor, and didn't notice the changes in those women at all.

Even if he noticed, he didn't care about a few women.

There is no doubt that Morishita is a machismo through and through.

Machismo and real women's rights coexist in Daming, and there is no conflict.

Seeing that Morishita and the others were very nervous, with only half of the buttocks on the chair, Zhu Fugui smiled and said: "Everyone, I asked you to wait here today because I want to ask about the warship."

As Zhu Fugui said, the old eunuch Li on the side used a small drawing board for children to write down Zhu Fugui's words and showed them to Morishita.

It’s only been one month since I arrived in Ming Dynasty, even if the Japanese learn Chinese relatively quickly, Morishita still can’t speak the language of Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Fugui was systematically blessed to be able to speak Japanese, since he became the real emperor, Zhu Fugui didn't even speak English, so it was naturally impossible to speak Japanese.

It's fine for the king of China to occasionally say a few words about clothes and Tucson's clothes. If he takes the initiative to speak the language of the foreign country, and even takes it as an honor to be able to speak the language of the foreign country, it has to be said that it is a sad thing.

Although there is a language barrier, there is no problem for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese literati and bureaucrats to communicate in this era.

Thanks to the first emperor of Zulong, and thanks to the sages of the past dynasties.

For thousands of years, East Asia has had a unified official script—Chinese characters.

Different from pinyin, Chinese characters are a mature ideographic language. Although the entry threshold is relatively high, as long as you learn it, you can communicate regardless of the obstacles of dialects, languages, and even language families.

Although Morishita was born in a down-and-out samurai family, as a samurai, he still received a good Sinology education.

Don't look at him looking like a mallet, he can write in regular script with one hand, and he can complete a few streets of the rich and noble emperor.

Fortunately, Zhu Fugui also has a loyal Lao Li, his calligraphy is very good, and he will not smash his signboard in front of Little Japan.

In this way, the two sides communicate with each other through the oldest contract of East Asian civilization - Chinese characters.

"It turns out that you are the reserve naval officer sent by De Aiqing to open the warship at Citigroup?"

"Reporting to the Son of Heaven, now we are all willing to open warships for Daming!"

……

Seeing the speeches of several Japanese samurai, Zhu Fugui frowned.

The merchant ship Pembroke, which was captured before, has now been renamed the training ship Zhu Chenggong, and Zheng Baoguo, the admiral of the navy, is in charge of offshore navigation training.

Zhu Chenggong also has a small-caliber carrier-based gun, but in the final analysis, Zhu Chenggong is just a merchant ship.

The navy trained on this is more or less meaningless.

So Zhu Fugui coveted the two gunboats ordered by the shogunate from the federal government.

But sending these Japanese to receive the gunboats, Zhu Fugui felt that it was not a wise move.

First of all, the loyalty of these guys is very questionable.

Although in terms of historical performance, Japan is indeed an excellent loyal dog.

But that is based on the powerful foundation of the master Kong Wu.

Once the owner is found to be debilitated, it takes only one or two generations for a loyal dog to turn into a hungry wolf.

Although Zhu Fugui didn't want to destroy his prestige, but today's Daming really can't compare with the federal government.

Don't look at these Japanese bumpkins who are so loyal in the flour mill now, if they go to places like New York and Philadelphia, they might jump right away.

Secondly, even if these Japanese are really loyal and willing to study hard on the east coast and then sail back to Daming, there is no doubt that in this way, the middle and high levels of the Daming Navy will likely be monopolized by the Japanese in the future.

This is not what Zhu Fugui wants to see.

Thinking of the information that Lao Li provided to him as the admiral of the East Factory before, Zhu Fugui decided to divide and use these Japanese samurai.

Zhu Fugui turned his gaze to a smaller samurai, and said with a smile: "Shimura-kun, I heard that you also like to paint while practicing the innocent swordsmanship of imparting fragrance and obtaining Shinto style?"

Shimura Yuichi is one of the samurai with a relatively weak sense of presence. He has a great reputation in swordsmanship and ethics, but in fact he is very good at cooking. Corporal Morishita can beat him seven times by himself.

Shimura Yuichi didn't expect to be called by His Majesty the emperor, so he stood up nervously, bent over 170 degrees, and said, "Hey, I can draw for entertainment in my spare time, but the paintings are only vulgar Ukiyo-e, and they can't be compared with the Chinese paintings." Danqing is on par."

Zhu Fugui looked at Shimura tremblingly writing the words on the clipboard, clapped his hands and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, Shimura Aiqing's words are wrong. Sailing a warship is to serve the court, and painting can also serve the court. How about this? I know that many gentlemen are actually refined and easy-going people, just because they come from a samurai family. Only with swords and guns. But in Daming, you will have a second life!"

"My Ming Dynasty needs Showa men, and I also need Heisei's abandoned houses. In the future, I may ask you to contribute some orders and fake mothers. In short, it is just a piece of rag, a piece of toilet paper, and it has its uses in our Ming Dynasty."

"Oh, Lao Li, help me polish this last sentence before translating it."

Zhu Fugui, as the superior, decided the future life of these Japanese samurai by chatting and laughing happily.

So, of course, a person's fate depends on individual struggle, and the process of history must also be considered, but the most important thing is the decision of the organization!

Chapter 122 Apology Corps, Military Expansion, Currency Issuance

A total of 30 people, including non-commissioned officer Wang Zhonghuang of the third phase of the Daming Navy and Corporal Caiji Mori of the first phase of the Daming Navy, formed a new "Japanese shogunate apology group" and embarked on a road all the way east.

The excuse is easy to find, a very simple story of a shipwreck.

This apology group will bring the English apology letter written by Zhu Fugui himself, and will hand it over to Lincoln face to face.

In the letter, Zhu Fugui licked Lincoln's [-]th generation ancestors in the tone of Tokugawa's younger brother, and pinned all the blame on Emperor Xiaoming.

And Zhu Fugui also introduced to Lincoln that not only Emperor Mingxiao was an evil villain with sores on his head and pus on his feet, who wanted to subvert the civilized world of the white race, but his son Yuan Muren (that is, the future Meiji , according to the Japanese official statement, the Emperor of Japan has no surname and household registration, but Zhu Fugui doesn't care about this) is a complete villain.

Zhu Fugui suggested that the great President Lincoln send an elite group of mechists to land in Japan and kill them to avoid future troubles.

Of course, Zhu Fugui was right. Lincoln, who had been utterly devastated by the southerners, definitely had no energy left to kill the emperor. Letter, Lincoln will be very happy.
