Chapter 220 Successfully concluded

On February 14, 30th year of Xianfeng, after countless negotiations between the two countries, the Sino-Japanese Beijing Treaty was officially signed. The contract stipulated that the land north of 30° north latitude and west of Tokyo 135°77′ was ceased to China, and Japan also compensated the 10,724,000 taels of silver for the Chinese expenses, and paid them out in 70 years. At the same time, the name of the name, Kakuda, Saima, Yokosuka, Izu Peninsula and other coastal ports in China, and merchant ships docked in China, and enjoyed the full interests of Western countries in Japan. More importantly, the total tonnage of Japanese naval ships shall not exceed 1 million tons.

In China, it gave up all military interests obtained in Yamagata Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, Niigata Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture. Before June 13 this year, it withdrew all military forces in the above prefectures and returned all civil affairs and garrison matters to the Japanese side. At the same time, as compensation from China, the Chinese bet on Tsuruoka Prefecture, where the Qing army first landed, and established a steel factory. A railway line from Tsuruoka Prefecture to Yamagata Prefecture is built. Whether this railway line will continue to be extended in the future depends on the political consultation between the two countries.

This time, the Qing Dynasty cut off more than 700,000 square kilometers of land from Japan. Since ancient times, the powerful lords have never had such a powerful martial arts. For a time, the emperor's sacred comments were endless. In addition, this year was the emperor's fifty birthday, and the officials who ran to various provinces continued to exchange contacts. The Qing Dynasty was full of lively and busy scenes.

In addition, the first thing the emperor did was to promote the fourth prince, Yingbeile, as the Minister of the General Office, and go to Japan to handle the civil affairs aftermath. At the same time, Xu Tong, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, was also sent to Japan. There were also editors, compilers and reviews of many people. The first job of these people when they went to Japan was to set up the stall in Kobe as soon as possible, and then immediately start the responsibilities of educating the people in Kobe. The emperor also issued an order that Kobe, Osaka, and Kyoto were newly included in the Qing territory. In order to appease the people and benefit the people's livelihood, all the above three places and all lands belonging to the Qing territory will be exempted from taxes within ten years.

Although Zai Shi was happy that he had also promoted the title of Bellega, he was unhappy about sending himself to Japan: "Third brother, the fifth brother, why don't you plead with the emperor, don't let me go? I have heard from people in Japan that there will always be earthquakes all year round. Once the house collapses and bury me under it, wouldn't it be awkward?"

Zai and Zai Chun both laughed at his words, "The fourth brother, it's true that there is an earthquake in Japan, but in fact, it may not be as powerful as you said. You don't know the temper of the emperor. Once you decide, when will the matter change? Besides, this time you go there, the spring breeze and rain, and the people are soaked in Japan for a few years, and the errands are beautifully done, and a prince can't escape. At that time, wouldn't it be better than now, and you're so fond of free rice in Beijing under the name of a shell?"

"What the third brother said is," Zai Yong also said, "I think it's beneficial to you this time when you go to Japan! Oh, there is another section. I heard that Japanese women are gentle and lovely. You'd better have such a thing. At that time, you can eat it!"

Zai Shin smiled bitterly for it. Zai Feng rarely joked. This time, he said such almost insulting words for the first time. On the one hand, he was really joking with himself, and on the other hand, he was also trying to find a way to relieve himself. "Fifth, I heard that if I sent me or my third brother, was it the sixth uncle who reported it to me?"

"yes."

"Damn it!" Zai-hyun stamped his feet hard, "I didn't expect that Uncle Six would do this, and drove me out of Beijing. Isn't this clear... Do you want to make room for the second son? You are also in front of the emperor, why don't you speak?"

"Fourth brother, what I said really makes me feel sad. As a son of man, I can only do my best to do my own things with all my heart. How can I be so worried about my gains and losses? Besides, my second brother is now..." Zai Lan said in a gentle tone, "Second brother is now carrying so many responsibilities. What about me? It's just a military office to learn to walk, and there is no serious business at all. The emperor has sent you east now, and his thoughts are clear. I just fight, so what's the use of it?"

Zai-hyun was stunned for a moment and looked back at Zai-hyun, "Third Brother, what do you think?"

"There is no way to go now, you can only take one step at a time." He said, "Fourth, when you arrive in Japan, you must not make any mistakes. If you catch the handle for others and the emperor will be punished, it will be even more uncontrollable."

"I think you scared Zaiying out of her courage! She is still as dangerous as a thirsty? Tell me, how could she be so dangerous as a thirsty? They are all the sons of the Emperor Ama, why do they favor one and the other? Just because he was the favored concubine? Are the fifth brother or the legitimate son?!"

"Okay." Zai-hyun interrupted his words in anger, "What are you talking about these things? I'm just talking about the current situation, why are you holding a gun and a stick?"

Seeing that the two brothers were about to argue about this, Zai Rong hurriedly answered the advice. The two glared at each other and sat down angrily. "The emperor's holy life is long. Why should you take the gains and losses for a while?" He said, "The second brother's ability is indeed stronger than mine.... The emperor's arrangement for the fourth brother to go to Japan. In fact, in my opinion, it is also intentional to experience it. No matter what, it is not a good thing to have a brother in the court who is familiar with Japanese folk customs?"

"Listen, I love what Lao Wu said." Zai Shi rolled her eyes at Zai Shi and stopped muttering.

"But, the fourth brother, I still said that when I arrived in Japan, don't make mistakes. If you catch the handle, it's just an unsolvable situation. If you don't think about yourself, you also think about your fifth brother. Now who doesn't know in Beijing? You are the fifth brother and you have caused trouble. Even if the emperor wants to spare you, the second brother and the others are willing to let you go? In the end, it will be blamed on the fifth brother."

"Okay! I understand. I'm going to do things and do it alone?"

The brothers' conversation ended up unhappy. Zai Shi left Beijing under the order. Zai Chun and Zai Ying entered the office as usual and handled official duties. The situation in Beijing suddenly stabilized.

The congratulatory presentation prepared by the Ministry of Rites and the etiquette itinerary for the Emperor during the Birthday Festival have been submitted to the emperor. The emperor was worried when he thought about it, "If you have to do so many things in a day, how can you celebrate your birthday?"

Jingyu pursed his lips and laughed, "You, don't be pretentious. All the officials in the world are congratulating the emperor and the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, not only are the subjects and officials, but also the envoys from all countries to China, they also want to meet the emperor and congratulate the emperor on their birthday!"

"I know, Lao Liu told me yesterday that after the envoys from various countries went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to celebrate the ceremony, they would give them a banquet. What contributions did these people have to make to the Qing Dynasty? They are actually greedy for this desire? Have my Qing Dynasty lunch for nothing?"

Jingyu had heard a lot of nonsense and was constantly happy recently. He knew that he was in a good mood and couldn't help but say, "You said you want to be so rude, but I remember something. Do you remember the last time you summoned Bao Chao, he said that he had taken a woman in Japan, who was the Lord of Yuanting?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"This woman is amazing now, hey! I've done my business to the feet of my Emperor Qing!"

"Oh?" the emperor was moved, "What do you say? A Japanese food shop opened in Beijing?"

"Isn't it? I heard that the business is so good! I'm one step late and there is no seat at all."

The emperor had not tasted orthodox Japanese cuisine yet. He heard it and wanted to have a quick meal. But he felt that it was wrong: a very important part of Japanese cuisine is the freshness of the ingredients and the attention to the ingredients. If it is said that in his era, transportation is developed and transportation is convenient, there is another reason. How can it be done in this era? Needless to mention it, it is just that fresh fish products are not so easy to guarantee, but I don’t know how they did it?

Jingyu saw his expression change from novelty to solemnity, and asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Yang San, go to the Military Affairs Office and tell Su Shun to come in."

The emperor asked Yang San to pass the imperial edict, and then asked Jingyu, "Do you know what the name of this store is?"

"I heard from people that I call Dayou."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully and stopped talking. After waiting for a while, Sushun hurriedly entered the hall. After he had given the salute, he asked, "I know you are the most delicious person. You must have been there in the new one in Beijing?"

"This is the wisdom of knowing people. Only the emperor is lucky..." Sushun felt that this sentence was wrong, so he quickly changed his words and said, "I have indeed been there before."

"How are you using it?"

"I think that although the method of Japanese food and drink is not as good as that of our Chinese, it has a different flavor and can be eaten."

"Is the ingredients still fresh? Do you feel uncomfortable after using them?"

"The ingredients are very fresh. After eating it, I enjoyed it very much, and I never felt any discomfort." Sushun misunderstood, thinking that the emperor was also thinking, and blurted out, "If the emperor likes it, it is better for the servant to ask for an order and proclaim them into the palace to serve as the emperor..."

"Japanese cuisine uses seafood more often. The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and food is not easy to preserve. Do you know where the ingredients in his store are taken from? It would be fine if it is obtained from the sea, but if it is taken from homeland, how are they transported?"

"I don't know this," Sushun said, "Please let the slave for a few days. After the slave asks clearly, come to the emperor and answer the answer."

"It doesn't have to be, I just find it strange," said the emperor. "If the right way comes, no matter how big his business is, it has nothing to do with me; I am just afraid that the origin is unknown and there will be any violations in the law, so I have to discipline it well."
