    In addition to providing coolies to China and accepting heavily polluting industries, the most profitable thing for the Japanese government is to provide women to China.  Because of the Chinese navy's blockade of Japan, severe famine occurred throughout Japan. Even after the war, China provided help to Japan, but it will take a lot of time to completely solve these famines.  In order to make a living, many Japanese women provide unexpected services to the Chinese garrison in Japan. The price is very low, and they can often be enjoyed for only two or three cents.  Moreover, the Japanese are not ashamed, but greatly appreciate the self-reliance of Japanese women.  Japan lost many men and many widows during the war. Most of these widows took this path in order to survive.

    In order to further expand the government¡¯s tax revenue to rebuild Japan and repay the huge war reparations owed to China, the Japanese government even intentionally organizes domestic women to go abroad to earn extra money. China and Nanyang are the main destinations for these Japanese women.  Especially in China, China's long-standing feudal ideology has been very serious in favoring sons over daughters. This has caused a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in the country, and many bachelors cannot find wives.  In order to live a good life, many Japanese women voluntarily marry to China.  The Japanese government took the opportunity to propose that by paying only two hundred Chinese dollars, a Chinese man could marry a young and beautiful Japanese woman as his wife.  For a time, a large number of Chinese bachelors poured into Japan, buying Japanese women to take home as wives like selecting commodities.

    Brothels in China also took the opportunity to go to Japan to select suitable women or girls to train.  The brothel industry has a long history in China and has always been banned.  Therefore, Wang Yuze did not forcibly ban this industry, but ordered the standardized management of this industry.  First of all, we put an end to the phenomenon of forcing girls into prostitution, and then we strengthened health inspections to avoid causing epidemic diseases.  Coupled with the continuous development of the domestic economy, people's lives are getting better and better.  In this way, there will no longer be cases of men and women selling their children.  It is even more difficult for these brothels to absorb new blood.  Now, Japan has opened up the export of women, which undoubtedly brings good news to the domestic brothel industry.  For a long time, domestic brothels no longer worried about resource shortages.  As for the export of a large number of Japanese women, the ratio of men to women in Japan is unbalanced, and many Japanese men cannot marry wives. This has nothing to do with China.

    According to incomplete statistics, before World War I, more than five million women from Japan were exported to the country. Except for the relatively high-quality women who were married to China, the rest of the women who were engaged in the brothel industry had a miserable life.  Very miserable.  However, they have contributed tremendously to Japan's economic recovery.  The foreign exchange these women expect from Japan alone amounts to two to three billion yen every year, which is enough for Japan to repay the huge war compensation it owes China.

    However, China has never relaxed its control over Japan and has dismantled all arsenals in Japan. Even the police are trained by China.  This makes Japan completely unqualified to challenge China and can only be China's dog.  In addition, the Japanese government owes huge debts to Britain, France and the United States. The new Japanese government does not admit it, claiming that it was the work of the previous government. Japan has been defeated by China. The new government that supports it will not admit these debts at all.

    That is a huge debt of more than 300 million pounds!  Britain, France and the United States screamed in anger!  They warned Japan that if Japan did not pay back the money, they would take military measures against Japan.  Japan had no choice but to turn to China for help.

    As the saying goes, when beating a dog, it depends on the owner.  Now that China treats Japan like a dog, it will naturally not let Britain, France and the United States bully Japan.  Therefore, China has expressed very strongly that it does not want to see a war in the Far East, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to China.  This made Britain, France and the United States very angry, but the war had just ended and all countries had not yet recovered their strength.  Britain, in particular, is still dragged into the quagmire of the Boer War in South Africa. Facing the threat from China, it can only continue to protest. Other than that, there is no other way.  This made the Japanese government discover for the first time that following China, the boss, is not without any benefit at all!  As for the economic sanctions imposed by Britain, France and the United States on Japan, Japan ignored them.  Japan's economy has been completely tied to China, and China is Japan's largest exporter and importer.  Therefore, Japan does not need to pay attention to Britain, France and the United States at all.  As for Britain, France and the United States, China is responsible for this.  However, if they want to take revenge, they must accelerate the development of their military strength.  For a time, the entire world once again set off an arms race.

    In December 1899, although the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty had been signed, for China, the war was over.  However, there is still much to do.  The first is the issue of jurisdiction over such a large territory. After long discussion, the cabinet decided to establish provinces on the new territories and implement jurisdiction over the new territories.  However, theseTerritory, except for the Nanyang region, the rest of the territory has very poor natural conditions and is basically a vast area with sparsely populated areas.  Therefore, the area of ??these provinces is also very large.

    After a long period of deliberations, the names and areas of these new provinces were determined.  Wang Yuze also participated in the meeting at that time. For a time, the number of provincial administrative regions in China increased to forty.

    First, the domestic Suiyuan Special Region, Chahar Special Region and Rehe Special Region were merged into Inner Mongolia Province.  With the addition of the four municipalities of Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau, China's original provincial administrative regions have become thirty-one.  The East Siberian region is divided into three provinces, namely Whale Sea Province, Transkhinganling Province, and Arctic Province.  Among them, Jinghai Province is the coastal area east of Heilongjiang and the Sea of ??Japan.  The Outer Hinggan Mountains Province is the vast area of ??the Outer Hinggan Mountains north of Heilongjiang.  The Arctic Province is the vast ice sheet area north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains.  Lake Baikal and the area to the north are named Beihai Province. Lake Baikal has always been called Beihai in China's history.  The area west of Lake Baikal and up to the border dividing line between China and Russia between the Irtysh River and the Ob River is named Northern Xinjiang Province.  The Central Asia region, which was the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, was directly named Xijiang Province.  However, the area of ??Western Xinjiang is huge, including half of Central Asia.  It includes the west of the Pamir Plateau, all the way to the Aral Sea, the south to Samarkand, and the north past Lake Balkhash to China's Northern Xinjiang Province.  Alaska, acquired from the United States, was changed to the Icefields Province.  The Nanyang region in the south, directly named Indochina Province on the Indochina Peninsula, includes the French Indochina colony, Burma, and the Malay Peninsula north of the Strait of Malacca. Except for Thailand, they are all under the jurisdiction of Indochina Province.  As for Thailand, a foreign country, China obviously will not keep them for too long.  The part of Kalimantan that belonged to the British Straits Settlements, together with the Philippine Islands that had previously been a Chinese colony, were merged into Nanyang Province.  As for the Dutch East Indies in the Netherlands, they have naturally become the target of Chinese spying.  Without the Indonesian archipelago, China's Nanyang Province would simply be incomplete.  It is also imperative for China to drive away the Netherlands and occupy the Indonesian archipelago.

    The huge territory also increases the central government¡¯s management of these territories.  Especially Western Xinjiang Province and Northern Xinjiang Province have huge areas, large populations, and complex ethnic composition, making them even more difficult to manage.  After the establishment of the province, the personnel department immediately came up with candidates for the governors and deputy governors of each province. After Wang Yuze learned about it, he approved the appointment and personally summoned these governors and deputy governors to ask them.  Take office.  And, in a short period of time, the most important job they have to do is to maintain the stability of these places.  The local garrison will fully cooperate with them.

    ¡° In many of these newly incorporated territories into China, there are still troops that continue to resist, and large-scale immigration from China in the future will definitely cause problems with the local ethnic groups.  Therefore, these provinces are also the provinces where the Chinese ** troops are mainly stationed.  The role of the Chinese Army is to ensure the interests of the people of the empire.

    At the same time, in order to strengthen control over these territories, the Ministry of Transport also plans to build a large number of new railways and roads to strengthen the connections between these new provinces and the empire.  At the same time, as transportation conditions improve, the economy can develop.  In addition, if an accident occurs, the empire's military can respond quickly without worsening the situation.

    The expansion of China¡¯s territory is a great good thing for the people of the empire. The expansion of territory means that the empire is getting stronger and stronger.  However, for the local indigenous residents, it is a piece of cake.  The Russians in the north, the Russians and nomads in Central Asia, and the indigenous people in Southeast Asia were also in bad luck.

    After the Chinese immigrated there, they would definitely occupy the best land, while the interests of the indigenous residents were completely ignored.  This will intensify the conflicts between the Chinese and those indigenous peoples.  However, Wang Yuze ordered a high-pressure policy against these indigenous residents. Any indigenous residents who attacked the Chinese would be killed without mercy.  As the saying goes, those who are not members of our clan must have different hearts. Wang Yuze will not care about the life and death of these indigenous residents at all. As long as the interests of the people of the empire are guaranteed, that is enough.  This made the indigenous residents full of resentment towards the Chinese, but in this era, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. These indigenous residents are not even citizens of the empire, so naturally no one will pay attention to their appeals!  (To be continued.
