    "Haha, Madam, I heard you say that, then I, Akiyama, won't be polite!" Akiyama smiled and took off his hat and put it aside, revealing his bare head underneath. Seeing the surprised expression on Bo Gu's face, Akiyama  Hao Gu touched his bald scalp with an embarrassed smile on his face: "I got a serious illness in France, and all my hair fell out. But it's okay, it saves a lot of things, for a samurai  , This can be regarded as a lucky thing!" Bo Gu didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only raise the wine glass in front of him and said: "Come, cheers to our reunion!" "Cheers!" Qiu Shanhaoguqing.  He clinked the wine glass opposite him and drank the wine in one gulp.  The two chatted and chatted, and in the blink of an eye they had been drinking for three rounds.  Akiyama Yoshiko suddenly put down his wine glass, pushed the suitcase beside him forward, opened the lid, and revealed twelve thick stacks of Japanese yen.  "What does this mean?" Bo Gu frowned and asked.  "Hatani-kun, these are the army's special expenses secretly raised by Yamagata-kun. The total is 120,000 yen." Akiyama Yoshiko smiled: "The purpose of my visit this time is to conduct a staff trip in North Korea.  To investigate the geography of North Korea¡¯s main military points, there are four or five companions coming with me this time. We need a local guide with a solid reputation. I hope you can help me! " "No problem, just wait a few days.  , I will prepare your identities and guides, and you can pretend to be a businessman who buys ginseng and copperware! Is there no problem? "Haiya has already prepared in his heart, Akiyama Yoshiko has a bright future in the Japanese military.  The young handsome man suddenly came to his store in Busan. He couldn't be just to have a few drinks with himself, the owner of a clothing store, right?  "There is no problem with this, but if possible, please arrange our status to be lower down, so that we are not so noticeable, and we can see more of the situation at the bottom of society in the Li Dynasty. This is very important!  "There is no problem with this, but I'm afraid you can't do it, Mr. Qiu Shan. You are too tall and your skin is too fair. You don't look like a poor man!" At this point, Bo Gu laughed: "After all, he is still a handsome man."  Take advantage, Mr. Qiu Shan, you don¡¯t need to carry dozens of kilograms of goods on your back for dozens of miles a day, and you have to kneel down on the roadside no matter where you meet, no matter whether it¡¯s snow or mud on the ground.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really a tragedy.  What a country!¡± Qiu Shan Haogu sighed: ¡°Mediocre nobles and bureaucrats ride on the heads of the people and dominate, and they are servile to foreign enemies. They rely on the power of the sovereign state to squeeze the people and live a luxurious and luxurious life.  This situation must be broken!" At this point, he punched the ground, and the wine glass in front of him was knocked to the ground, and the sake inside flowed to the floor.  "Ah! Mr. Qiu Shan, you still have this temper!" Bogu quickly stretched out his hand to straighten the wine glass and said with a smile: "You have an excessive sense of justice. Haha, does the empire really want to use troops against North Korea? That would mean war with Dashun.  Ah, that¡¯s a great enemy!¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Akiyama Yoshiko nodded: ¡°It¡¯s true that Dashun is a great enemy, with ten times more manpower and material resources than us, but we have seen it from the Ryukyu incident.  Here we are, the British are on our side. As long as the Japanese Empire seizes the opportunity and uses the power of the West, it will definitely defeat Dashun and become the master of the entire East Asia!" Bo Gu's face became serious, and he spoke softly!  Pushing the suitcase back: "Akiyama-kun, please take this money back. Identity and guide will cost you a few dollars, so use it in more useful places. Shunguo's financial resources are ten times that of Japan, we must save some money."  !¡± Akiyama Hoku pushed the suitcase back again: ¡°No, these are not just money for identity and guide. I won¡¯t be able to stay here for long. You can use this money to buy intelligence and necessary people when needed.  , these are very useful!¡± North Korea, Daejeon.  A long official road winds down the hillside. The slopes on both sides of the road have been reclaimed by industrious farmers into dry land, and are planted with barley and potatoes, which are relatively cold-resistant crops. In the distance of the road, a small river flows through.  This wealthy valley is divided into two. It is early April now, and groups of Korean farmers wearing high hats and white robes with national characteristics are hunched over planting rice in the paddy fields next to the river.  "Mr. Guide, is this Wuling?" Qiu Shanhaogu asked the guide on the side with a smile. At this time, he had a white cloth wrapped around his head, wearing leggings, and carrying a large wooden box on his back. He looked like an ordinary Korean businessman.  .  "No, Wuling has to pass through Daejeon and walk more than ten miles to reach Daejeon. We haven't reached Daejeon yet!" the North Korean guide replied with a smile. This traveling businessman introduced by the boss of Boguwu spoke kindly and paid generously.  , and quickly won his favor.  "So that's it!" Qiu Shan Haogu looked at the sky and said, "Then the one in front of youIs the river called Jinjiang?  "    "yes!  The guide turned back in surprise: "Have you been here before?"  " "Yes, but that happened a long time ago, and I have long forgotten it now!  Akiyama Yoshigu smiled and patted his bald head: "How about we go to the river to rest for a while. There are many farmers near the fields, and we can also do some business by the way!"  "    "Oh well!  "When the guide thought that his salary was calculated based on time, he smiled and nodded. Akiyama Haogu shouted a few words to the men behind him, and the group walked along the road towards the river. These men dressed as porters observed carefully  Looking at the surrounding scenery, several people took out pencils and white paper clamped on the wooden board to start sketching. If there are officers who are familiar with military surveying and mapping business here, they will be surprised to find that these sketches are very professional.  The group of people arrived at the river and found a shady place to sit down and rest. Akiyama Hoku and his men sold small commodities such as needlework, salt, and soybean oil to the villagers while speaking half-baked Korean, and inquired about the villagers without leaving any trace.  After more than an hour, the two officers walked to the riverside and began to carefully measure the flow rate and depth of the river to find fording points when necessary.  After the report from his subordinates, he ordered to stop resting and continue on his way. ¡°Mr. Haruta!  The guide smiled and called Akiyama Haogu's forged name: "Are you and your companions really strange people?"  " Qiushan Haogu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Pu, why do you say that?  " "Judging from your appearance, you should be a person who has read books. Your companions can also draw and write. They should all be learned people. Why do you want to come to North Korea to be such a hard-working businessman?  North Korea is a very poor country. Even in good years, the people here can only eat half full. If there is a slight famine, many people will starve to death. They don't have the money to buy many of your goods.  " Akiyama Haogu replied thoughtfully: "Actually, North Korea is not a poor country. It has many rich resources, but its people don't know how to use them.  If someone would teach the locals how to use it, this place would change!  " "Is there such a thing?  " "Of course, some people in the West already know that using factories to produce fertilizer can make the same fields grow two or three times more food, so that everyone can eat white rice!  "    "real?  "The guide had an incredible look on his face, and then he looked at Akiyama Haogu with a completely different look: "Then you are really a man of great knowledge!  It would be great if this could really happen.  " "What do you mean it's really like this!  If you're lucky, this will become a reality in ten or at most twenty years, and you can definitely see it all with your own eyes!  "Qiu Shanhaogu smiled. "I'm not that delusional. I'll be satisfied if I can see my son living a life of eating white rice every day!  "The guide stood up from the ground with a smile, patted the dust on his butt: "It's almost time to rest, let's set off!  ¡± Akiyama Haogu¡¯s group set out from Busan and headed north along the west side of the Korean Peninsula. Passing through Daegu, Gimcheon, Yeongdong, Daejeon, Cheonan, and Suwon, by mid-May, they had arrived at an important port in the waist of the Korean Peninsula.  After walking a few dozen kilometers north of Incheon, we entered rugged mountains and plateau areas. On a protruding rock by the sea, people were sitting around drinking water and resting, looking at the sea on the right and looking at the danger in the distance.  Looking at the mountains, an officer couldn't help but sigh: "Compared to Japan, the mountains and rivers in this country are really majestic!  " "I heard that on which side of the sea, China's mountains and rivers are even more majestic!  "The person who spoke was Akiyama Haogu, and everyone's eyes lit up. These people are all top students of the military academy. They are basically from feudal families. They have received good sinology education since childhood. Someone said in a deep voice: "Donglin  Jieshi to view the sea.  "This song "Stepping out of Xiamen. Viewing the Sea" was written by Cao Cao, a famous poet, statesman and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period. It is a household name in Japan, and people immediately responded.  .  The water is so sluggish that the mountains and islands stand tall.  There are many trees and lush grass.  The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.  The journey of the sun and the moon can be traced out of it.  The stars are as brilliant as if they came from within. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ¡± They were all young and middle-aged men. The heavy and thick voice fully demonstrated Cao Mengde¡¯s melancholy and vigorous poetry style. The strong sea breeze blew like a blade, blowing their hair around. Almost everyone felt as if they were  Returning to the reef across the sea more than a thousand years ago, a kind ofThe unspoken excitement surged in my chest, as if it was about to burst out at any moment.  Thank you to book friend 150338371 for the reward!  Ask for favorites, recommendation votes, and rewards!
