Chapter 911 Japanese Market

"Your Majesty, the merchants are very eager to open the Japanese market. They have tasted the sweetness of Goryeo, and their appetite has grown now. Li Kaiyuan has already reflected the voice of the merchants many times to the next official."

Seeming to see through Xiao Ming's thoughts, Pang Yukun took the opportunity to say.

When he came back to his senses, there was a smile on the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth. Now Li Kaiyuan was wearing the name of the chairman of the Government Affairs Consultative Council, and the merchants responded directly to him.

In this way, the voice of the merchants appeared in the court, and many merchants felt at ease.

Xiao Ming is not surprised by this kind of demand. This is exactly the demand that will inevitably arise in the development of industry and commerce. With the improvement of industrialization, while meeting the domestic demand of Da Yu, merchants need to sell their commodities to other markets in exchange for funds. This is a A virtuous circle.

Because of this, in the process of European industrialization, they actively competed for colonies, in order to expand their commodity sales market, so that their domestic industry and commerce can continue to strengthen, forming a virtuous circle.

And once the market is sluggish, businessmen are unprofitable, and industrial development will lack motivation, which is fatal to a country.

In contemporary times, Xiao Ming sometimes understood but did not understand it deeply, but now that he has become an emperor, he understands the purpose of some national strategies.

After all, whether it is fighting a war or establishing a trade organization, the purpose is to grab market share.

In the past, Da Yu was an agricultural country, so there was no need to worry about it being self-sufficient, but now the transformation of an industrial country has forced him to embark on this road of competing for market share.

"The Japanese market, this is indeed very tempting, but this Japanese Yamada Daimyo is very tough."

"No matter how tough it is, can it be tougher than our shells?" Pang Yukun joked.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming laughed. Now the growth of the industrial and commercial tax has almost doubled every year. Pang Yukun is also shocked by it. He used to stick to the agricultural tax. It is normal for him to seek benefits for businessmen now.

"Pang Shoufu's words are interesting. It is true. This Japanese country does not cry without seeing the coffin. It is time to clean up. The market with a population of more than 20 million is very attractive." Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

For the Great Yu Kingdom, the Japanese state could not pose any threat now, and the main threat to the land was from the north.

But it is unwise to go to the North to fight a loss-making war just after the war in the South is over.

For Xiao Ming, at this stage, the war in the Great Yu Kingdom must be fought more and more and more profitable, so that the stable growth of national strength can be achieved.

Therefore, fighting the Japanese is a profitable war, and fighting the Golden Horde is a losing war. Comparing the two, he is willing to fight the profitable one first.

In this way, he has the money to spend money in a losing war.

Pang Yukun's reminder made Xiao Ming make up his mind, and he casually instructed the ministers in the cabinet, and he returned to the inner palace.

After the war in the south was over, Niu Ben and Luo Quan had both returned to Qingzhou, and he immediately summoned them to discuss the attack on the Japanese state.

...

On July 9, an order departed from the imperial palace and arrived in Dengzhou.

Yue Yun, who received the order, looked excited, and faced a group of admirals and said, "The emperor's order has arrived, and now it's finally time to clean up the Japanese country."

"Long live my emperor!" The admirals shouted in unison, each with a smile.

Most of these generals came from fishing villages along the coast. They were once harassed by Japanese pirates, and their hatred for the Japanese country never disappeared for a day.

Although they have been besieging the Japanese country for a year, the purpose is only to blockade and cut off the communication between the Japanese country and the outside world.

But now it is different. This time they will lead the army to land directly in the Japanese country and use cannons to reason with the Japanese country.

"Assemble the Marine Corps immediately. This time, the emperor has high hopes for us, and we want our navy to solve the Japanese affairs independently. As the saying goes, we need to raise our troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. The emperor has been taking good care of the navy over the years. We cannot let the emperor down this time. ."

"Yes, General." The generals shouted loudly.

"Disband." Yue Yun asked the generals to go back to prepare, and stopped Liu Chen who was about to leave. He was an important general of the Marine Corps.

"I'm afraid there will be a vicious battle to be fought this time. It can only succeed and not fail. During the war in the south, the emperor was under pressure to change the marines with falcon rifles." Yue Yun said, he understood that the purpose of this time was to open the Japanese state. market.

But if Japan wants to open up its domestic market, it must defeat Yamada Nobunaga. Only when Japan admits defeat can this plan succeed.

"The 30,000 Marines are not vegetarian, General, don't worry." Liu Chen's expression was firm. Now the most famous names in the army are Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Lei Ming, Qi Guangyi and others.

As the navy, they made little achievements during this period and seemed to be forgotten in the corner.

Now, for the first time, the emperor has entrusted the navy with an important task, and he feels that the glorious era of the navy is coming soon.

Not only him, Yue Yun also noticed that the end of the domestic disputes, the next Great Yu Kingdom must do something at sea, after all, the warships of the Western countries have been cruising in the waters south of the Great Yu Kingdom.

In their eyes, it was the back garden of the Great Yu Kingdom, and it was not allowed to be meddled by others.

"Okay, I will wait and see." Yue Yun nodded with satisfaction.

After sending Liu Chen away, he looked at the map of the sea area around the Japanese country. After annihilating the Japanese warships in Suwon City, the Japanese navy was severely frustrated, and the remaining warships have been hiding and avoiding fighting with them.

In order to annihilate the last Japanese navy, they have been searching at sea but to no avail. This time, he plans to dock directly at the Busan City Wharf and attack Nanosuji, a major coastal town in the Japanese country, which is contemporary Fukuoka.

Because this city is facing Busan, Korea, and the strait distance between them is the shortest, he does not believe that Yamada Nobunaga can still sit.

This matter was settled. Three days later, Yue Yun led the fleet to Busan City. This time, he led 72 warships to Busan City, including 16 hybrid warships built this year.

Two days later, the fleet arrived at Busan City successfully, and he saw Ye Qingyun, who had not seen him for a long time, at the Busan City Wharf.

"Yue Yun."

The old friend saw Ye Qingyun with a happy smile. Ye Qingyun was the governor of Dengzhou. The two of them have worked together for a long time and have a strong personal relationship.

"Commander Ye, I haven't seen you for half a year." Yue Yun was also in a good mood when he saw his old friend, but when he saw the soldiers lined up neatly behind Yue Yun, he asked, "You also received an order from the emperor?"

"Of course, but don't worry, I can't take care of Goryeo's affairs. I don't want to get involved in the Japanese affairs. This time I'm here to provide you with supplies."
