    Wang Yuze nodded. The large market of 40 million people is indeed something that China cannot give up now.  In addition, with the rapid development of the economy, the wages of workers in China have also increased significantly. For example, in road construction, mining and construction industries, the wages of workers have risen to 20 Chinese yuan per month. Although they are similar to those in Western countries,  There is still a big gap in comparison, but in China, it is already a very good salary.  One Chinese yuan is equal to one tael of silver. In China, I am afraid that most families cannot earn so much in a year.  If Japanese people were used to do this, they would probably be paid seven or eight yuan a month, or ten yuan at most.  This can not only save a lot of costs, after all, the state invests in infrastructure construction, and all minerals are state-owned, but also can invest manpower in other aspects.

    "Japan is very important to the empire. However, the Japanese are born with rebellion in their heads. Once the empire relaxes its vigilance and allows them to develop, they will bite the empire. Therefore, the empire must strengthen its control over the empire.  Japan's control will do. In addition, the Japanese are very xenophobic. The empire cannot directly establish a governing body in Japan like it did with the Filipinos. It can only support the pro-China Japanese to come to power! In this case, we must strengthen the military in Japan  Just exist. The Japanese have always believed in the strong. In this war, we defeated the Japanese. As long as the empire does not decline or major changes occur, the Japanese will not dare to rebel against us!" Wang Yuze said  .

    "Your Majesty, the General Staff is ready. We will ask Japan to lease Yokosuka, Sasebo and other bases to the Imperial Navy. At the same time, in order to maintain Japan's stability, the Second Army will also be temporarily stationed in Japan until Japan stabilizes.  Slowly withdraw to the country. Japan has been disarmed now. If the Second Army is left in Japan, it can completely control the situation in Japan!" said Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu.

    Wang Yuze nodded, garrisoning troops in Japan, this is for sure.  Even if the military garrison can be appropriately reduced after Japan's society stabilizes, it is very necessary to retain China's military presence in Japan.  In later generations, when the United States stationed troops in Japan, didn't Japan always dare not make any changes?  As long as the army is retained in Japan and Japan is not allowed to develop its military power, Japan can be completely controlled.

    "Your Majesty, in addition to the military aspect, it is also very important to control Japan economically. Japan has developed for decades and already has a complete industrial base. We can destroy all the Japanese industrial strength through this war.  , or in other words, only develop a few industries allowed by the empire. Such as heavy pollution industries such as papermaking and cement. Then fully purchase Japanese products, firmly tying Japan's economy to the empire." Minister of Industry Li Zhiqian also issued a statement  own opinions.

    "Your Majesty, cultural control cannot be relaxed. We can let all schools in Japan teach Chinese. When these Japanese grow up, they will speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. By then, they will identify with the empire and have a strong sense of the empire.  The threat will also be reduced a lot!" Minister of Education Zhang Jie also suggested.

    Wang Yuze strongly agrees with these methods.  If Japan's economy is kidnapped by China and its culture is controlled by China, then Japan will really no longer pose a threat to China.

    "Very good, the cabinet will come up with specific opinions on how to deal with Japan, and then prepare to negotiate with the Japanese. If we win this battle, then it is time for the empire to gain benefits!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.  The Empire defeated Japan and would never let Japan recover.  Without worries, China can concentrate on competing with Western powers for world leadership.

    "Your Majesty, I heard that the military has spent more than one billion Chinese dollars in Japan. Now the empire's financial expenditure is very large. Can this money be put into the national treasury?" Finance Minister Wang Wenhua suggested.

    "No! Your Majesty has personally promised that this money will be used as special military expenditures for the military. Don't even think about staring at this money. Now the development of the army requires a lot of investment, and the annual military expenditures are so small. This money is the development of the army.  Funds!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu said immediately.

    "Yes! The annual military expenditure only accounts for 10% of the fiscal revenue, which is less than 200 million yuan. To maintain the scale of an army of millions, this military expenditure is simply not enough. Therefore, the cabinet still  Stop staring at the money we worked so hard to get!" Army Minister Cai Yun also said.  In the new military reform, the size of the army will be expanded even more than it is now, which requires a lot of funds!

    "Our navy is preparing to build new warships on a large scale to replace the old warships. These will cost a lot of money." Navy Minister Zhang Cheng also said quickly.  All the old battleships equipped by the Navy will be replaced.  The new "Han-class" battleship is under intensive design. Wang Yuze allowed the navy to build six "Han-class" battleships at one time, and the cost alone will reach??About 100 million yuan!

    "The war has been won. Isn't it necessary for us to retain so many troops anymore? Wouldn't it be better to control the size of the army at the pre-war level?" Finance Minister Wang Wenhua said.

    "No! Although the size of the army has expanded, our territory has more than doubled. At the same time, although the empire has won this war, it has also forged mortal enemies with Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries. It must retain enough  Only the army can guarantee the interests of the empire!" Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo also said.  To protect more than 25 million square kilometers of land, at least more than two million troops are needed!

    "Okay, there is no need to argue about this issue. I promised the military that the funds obtained in Japan will be used as special military expenditures for the military. The military's current expenditure is very large. When military expenditures cannot be met, it can only use  This method is for the first time. Besides, after we have defeated the Japanese, we will start negotiations with Japan soon. When the time comes, just kill Japan hard!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Your Majesty, Japan has been completely wiped out by the military. Even if we ask Japan to pay more compensation, they can't pay it!" said Finance Minister Wang Wenhua.  Although China's territory has more than doubled, large-scale infrastructure construction, large-scale immigration, and industrial upgrading all require large amounts of funds.  Even though 700 million pounds of war compensation was obtained, it was still not enough.  However, this has stimulated the rapid development of China's economy.  At least in terms of fiscal revenue, China has surpassed the Western powers and become the number one in the world.  However, China also needs money in many places, and Western powers can also exploit its colonies.  Therefore, China is still not as well off financially as the Western powers.  However, this is only temporary.  Once China develops the newly occupied areas, especially the Nanyang region, China's national power will be significantly improved.  It is no longer a problem to surpass the Western powers and become the world's most powerful country.

    "The Japanese don't have money now, but we can let them pay back slowly, 100 million or 200 million yuan every year, for 20 to 30 years. This is a long-term, big business!" Wang Yuze said.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up.  Japan is poor now, but Japan can make money by exporting labor and transferring heavily polluting industries from China to Japan.  Moreover, after disbanding the army, Japan will no longer have to bear high military expenditures and can use most of its fiscal revenue to repay the war reparations it owes China.  Before the war, Japan's fiscal revenue was 450 million yen, equivalent to 180 million Chinese dollars.  If the debt of 100 million yuan is repaid every year, there will be no problem at all.

    "Your Majesty, this method is very good. However, when the time comes, Mr. Wu will need to kill Japan severely during the negotiations with Japan!" Cabinet Prime Minister Yang Hua said with a smile on his face.

    "Haha! There is no problem with this at all. For the sake of the empire, I, Wu Tingfang, will have to be such a villain!" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang also said with a laugh.

    "However, Your Majesty, the current finances are indeed a bit tight. Otherwise, the money obtained by the military will be lent to the Ministry of Finance first. When the military needs it, the Ministry of Finance will allocate funds to the military. The Ministry of Finance guarantees that it will not  He is greedy for money from the military!" said Finance Minister Wang Wenhua.

    "That's good! Anyway, the military won't use so much money at one time. It will use it where it is needed first." Wang Yuze said.

    This is also a happy result. The Ministry of Finance has sufficient funds, and the military does not have to worry about insufficient military spending.

    After that, the cabinet came up with comprehensive measures to deal with Japan, and Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang prepared to hold peace talks with Japan's new government.  Before that, Japan's new government had been established.

    Because of the support from China, Saionji Konobo was able to serve as the Prime Minister of the new Japanese government and also served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Saigo Yumichi became the Minister of the Interior of Japan, and the financial responsibility was still held by Matsukata Masayoshi.  As for the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy, no one has yet filled them.  After all, Japan's defeat this time can be seen from China's attitude towards Japan. I am afraid that China will not allow Japan to have an army.

    After the establishment of the new government, Emperor Meiji was also able to be buried, and he was considered to be in peace.  As for the new emperor, his name has been changed from Emperor to Japanese King, and he will go to Beijing to accept the canonization of the Emperor of China.  This change caused dissatisfaction among many Japanese, and even riots occurred in various places.  However, the two armies currently still in Japan quickly dispatched and quickly quelled the riot.  During this process, the Japanese killed and injured tens of thousands of people. The Chinese soldiers who quelled the riot did not regard them as human beings at all. As long as they participated in the riot, they were all executed.  (To be continued.
