Chapter 138
< A little dream. (3) >
“I’m sorry, but we make the offer.”
“……”
“Are you sure you want to?”
“….Yes.”
“Okay. Then let’s move on.”
Baseline pressure is important.
By taking the initiative from the other party, you can drag it around.
“We don’t want colonies.”
“Yes?”
“The United States is different from the Western imperialists. They claim to be the defenders of the free world. So we are skeptical about colonial policy.”
“But the military government…”
“The military government is only a temporary advisory body that administers trusteeship until the country’s system is judged to be unstable and is on the trajectory of normalization. When all programs are completed, it functions as a properly independent country.”
apparently it is
“So I suggest.”
“Tell me.”
“I request that you set up a post office in your cabinet. I hope the post office functions as a department that manages and supervises various interests. It is an administrative agency that will give us exclusive business rights contracts.”
“Yes.”
“At the same time, we demand the financial transparency of the Korean Empire. I would like to ask for the authority to conduct regular audits. Or at least the restructuring of the national financial institutions.”
“Yes?”
When I saw Lee Wan-yong’s face, I couldn’t follow him.
It’s your national finances.
“We want transparent fiscal policy, and we need an administration that has the power to contract us exclusive concessions.”
“I’m sorry. I understand the exclusive business right, but why do you need financial transparency?”
“It’s that simple.”
I looked at Lee Wan-yong intently.
“We’re going to do business in the Korean Empire, but we don’t want our taxes to flow into a strict place.”
“Yes? Are you going to pay your taxes?”
“Yes.”
Lee Wan-yong now looked at me with a strangely crooked face.
“I will pay. Tax.”
be a conscientious taxpayer.
If I don’t pay taxes, people won’t stone us. In the case of the Trans-Eurasia railway, if you want to enter the steel industry or the railroad business, you have to look at it from a long-term perspective.
I only think today and the barracks are different from the imperialists.
I think of tomorrow.
And if our interests are to be preserved for a long time.
It is necessary to pay taxes to win public opinion.
‘But if you think that this will fit in the back pocket of King Gojong or a tough guy, he gets angry. You have to appease the public, but if you go into someone else’s back pocket, you’re a fool.
Note this time.
The customs of the Korean Empire was managed by the British. To put it simply, the British were in control of the department that implemented fiscal policy.
I didn’t want my taxes to go into the back pocket of a tough guy.
The carrot that will soothe the people’s hearts is the most important thing, because taxes.
“Wan Yong Lee.”
“Yes.”
“We have absolutely no confidence in your country’s administrative system and fiscal policy. As the heads of the central banks of the United States and Japan, I dare to assert that your country’s fiscal system is completely backward.”
“…..”
“It’s almost a waste of even the word fiscal policy, let alone finance.”
I sighed.
A British man was sitting as a financial manager, and he was given unfettered power, so he could wield it at will.
As a result, fiscal policy has been distorted.
I like the turnaround, but that’s because I got rid of spending.
He committed atrocities of cutting off all investments in the future industry because he had no money to invest.
I could not trust this fiscal policy.
‘Wouldn’t restructuring or auditing be better from the perspective of the Korean Empire?’
“I’m sorry, but your fiscal policy, which is parasitic on the imperial money, the imperial fund, is quite bizarre because it cannot utilize the national finances.”
When money flows within the Korean Empire, the financial system must be complete.
However, the environment in which we Americans can do business has not been created at all.
“If you really want to modernize, please follow our rules.”
I’ll have to throw in a carrot at this point too.
A magic carrot that sells the future of the country and replaces it for personal gain.
“Then I’m also willing to give you a rebate.”
“…!!!”
Lee Wan-yong opened his eyes.
He knows very well what the term ‘rebate’ is, which became famous thanks to Standard Oil.
“I’m going to sign a $30 million contract, so let’s give $300,000 each to the imperial family and you.”
Religious freedom as the foundation for overthrowing the tyranny.
Fiscal transparency and separation of national finances would undermine imperial power.
You sell me the future.
Buy the present.
“Are you short?”
“Oh, no.”
“Then let’s move on to the monopoly.”
body department.
It refers to the department in charge of various national key projects.
“The reason for asking your cabinet to set up a post office is simple. It’s difficult if our outside forces ‘taken’ your country’s interests.”
An exclusive business right was ‘contracted’.
We are nominally going into subcontractors for government projects.

Of course, if the contract is broken, the US intervenes. The Korean Empire might get a bit of a sting.
“I hope that the post office will write down all of that notoriety.”
“Come on, wait a minute. That sound.”
“Yes.”
However, the monopoly license agreement is only an appearance to the last. There will certainly be people who doubt us.
So, I want the post office to write down all of that notoriety.
‘Those who sold their country to the Yankees’
It can be shortened to three letters, ‘Magukno.’
Notoriety stats and aggro management.
Lee Wan-yong frowned.
“…..”
“Of course, we plan to pay a certain amount of money every year.”
“A small price…”
look at that
See your eyes come to life again.
“In return, we pay 100,000 dollars a year.”
“Yes?!”
“One hundred thousand dollars a year. You heard right.”
he opened his eyes
Not once, but $100,000 every year? With a face like

Of course, it will be provided through a legitimate route discovered by forensic engineers.
“The post office is 100,000 dollars a year just sitting in the post office.”
Note that.
In just a few years, Lee Wan-yong is more than the price of selling his country to Japan (3 billion won).
Instead, the Post Office will take all of our notoriety stats and aggro. The postal service dictates the notoriety we should write.
$100,000 per year on condition of becoming a peasant.
That’s why I’ll have to risk my life
It is 100,000 dollars a year as a life allowance as well as being treated as a slave.
It is the condition that becomes our meat shield.
“Are you sure you want to?”
“…I will definitely do it somehow.”
Lee Wan-yong nodded his head heavily, burning his will to fight with bloodshot eyes.

Okay…
I’m a maekukno, but I don’t really feel like giving 100,000 dollars.
“There are more options.”
“Additional options.”
eagle eagle.
Lee Wan-yong’s eyes were almost approaching a fanaticism. The eyes drunk on the dollar were more than any other Wall Street people.
great. ready to listen
“I hope that the Ministry of Posts and Posts will grant us the priority to negotiate the national key industry as soon as this right is discovered. Since it is a state-to-business contract, not a state-to-state contract, you do not have to worry about the most-favored-nation treatment.”
“What exactly is the priority negotiation right?”
“It is literally the right to negotiate first.”
We’re going to take your advantage.
Deforestation bonds, mining rights, railway laying rights. I don’t treat them individually like this. Make a big bet with one shot and sweep it all away.
“Instead of receiving the right to negotiate, we will provide one million dollars per case and 100,000 dollars as a rebate.”
“One million… 100,000…1.1 million…”
Exclusive business right and preferential bargaining right.
When the plenipotentiary ambassador Lee Wan-yong signs a contract here and returns to Korea, it must be put into practice.
The ambassador is such a being.
Just in case you didn’t know, I asked.
“What authority has your country granted you?”
“I have all the rights, even to the trading of interest.”
“Okay. If the amount is small, please tell me. I am willing to provide an additional rebate to the monarch of your country.”
Even if you throw a karate ticket like this.
It’s like pumping water out of the sea. It means it doesn’t dry out.
It would have laid the foundation for rocking the tyranny.
In the future, I would have prepared a system for extracting these tickets.
I should have gotten a falconry totem to overturn notoriety and aggro.
you should be able to do this
Freedom of Religion, Monopoly Rights, Priority Negotiation Rights.
full.
“I….”
“Well?”
I was going to end it at this point, but Lee Wan-yong suddenly spoke to me.
“what happened.”
“Even if you sell only this ticket, this is enough… If, very if. I’m just saying this out of curiosity. Please don’t take it seriously.”
“Yes.”
gulp.
Lee Wan-yong swallowed his saliva.
His eyes were already pickled in dollars.
“Very well… if you sell the country, how much will you get paid?”

Oh
The Lee Wan-yong I know is correct.
I instantly thought of that.
“0 dollars.”
“Yes?”
“It’s not for sale.”
I rounded my fingers.
“I remember what I said, but we don’t want colonies.”
I groaned and growled.
In the United States, the word colony is a kind of taboo. The name is called the torch of the liberal camp. Who the hell is this gentleman trying to f*ck right now?
“Sin, I’m sorry.”
Perhaps because of Western genetics, when I became an adult, my physique grew a bit. It was enough to pressure Lee Wan-yong.
Lee Wan-yong, crushed by my momentum, sat quietly and signed the treaty.
***
Federal Reserve Conference Room.
Lee Wan-yong left.
With the authority of the plenipotentiary, he handed me the future of the Korean Empire and received a small rebate.
As long as he has been promised the post of postal service, he will act as our national totem.
“If King Gojong inserts a small amount of money every time he gets an advantage, he will accept it. If he only guarantees his dignity and power, he will take it all out.”

Of course, it’s the current power.
Unknowingly, the power of the future is being worn out. I want to move this power balance to the cabinet little by little.
$30 million in debt.
In return for the exchange of interest and the rebate, I received the future of the Korean Empire.
He also gained the right to interfere in the finances of the Korean Empire.
flutter.
As long as the plenipotentiary ambassador has signed it.
This has become a treaty that must be respected.
“If you do not, you can file a complaint with the International Permanent Court of Arbitration.”
It was a violation of international law.
For reference, it is reassuring to have former Attorney General Griggs as a member of the International Permanent Court of Arbitration.
Actually, I didn’t want it to be this complicated either.
However, it was a necessary land bridgehead on the Korean Peninsula to advance from the Pacific to the Old World market.
“Even if you try to eat away at the Korean Empire, nothing happens because there is no financial system.”
What can you do?
The financial system has to be laid down.
For this to happen, the modernization of the industry must begin. The foundation has just been partially established as a treaty.
“James!”
“Yes, Master.”
When I called, James from the next room opened the door and came in.
“Did you hear everything?”
“Yes.”
great.
First of all, it was the turn to practice religious freedom.
In order for Americans and European entrepreneurs to advance into the Korean Peninsula, cultural homogenization is necessary.
Some might even call it cultural imperialism.
But how many people can do business in a country that is not culturally intimate?
for modernization.
We need to increase our intimacy with the West as much as possible.

“Give this envelope to President Rockefeller.”
“What is this?”
“A request to send Baptist missionaries to the Korean Empire. Not just one or two, but hundreds.”
“Yes?”
President Rockefeller was one of the giants of the American Baptist Convention as well as the industry.
In light of President Rockefeller’s devout piety, it was highly likely that the Baptist Church would readily grant the missionary request.
Sasasak-
Kwok.
“This is a letter to my father.”
“This….”
“A request to dispatch hundreds of missionaries to the Korean Empire to the headquarters of the Anglican Church in the United States and the Anglican Church in England.”
“Oh My God….”
If there was Rockefeller in the baptistry.
The Anglican Church had Morgan.

“And if you want to spread religion to the poor… The Salvation Army would be nice.”
“When you say the Salvation Army, are you referring to the military-style Christian sect of England?”
“That’s right. Send them there too.”
Finally.
Sasasak-
Kwok.
I pressed the seal and handed it to James.
“uh?”
James looked at the recipient of the letter and was astonished. He looked at me with trembling eyes.
“This…..”
“It’s right where you think it is.”
If you’re going to do it, do it right.
That’s my motto.
“Send a copy to the Paris Foreign Missionary Church.”
Paris Foreign Missions Society.
When we think of French missionaries, we often think of the Catholic institution directly under the Vatican. Byunginyang, the French attacking with warships.
Ironically, during the imperial period, the Paris Foreign Missions Church was the most docile among the Catholic missionary groups.

Okay.
If you want to bring in Europe, you have to mix Catholicism as well.
