During this period, the cute president reused a large number of former Qing officials, especially those who had close contacts with the Xuan family in the past, Zhou Fu, the father of Zhou Xuexi, who was four years older than the cute president, Wu Changqing, and Wu Baochu's father. Although Zhou Xuexi and Wu Baochu are both children, the fathers of these two people are still very appreciated by the cute president.

Of course, these people are united by Li Hongzhang. The cute president still relied on Li Hongzhang because he knew Li Hongzhang's preference for power.

Li Hongzhang actually has no major problems. His wisdom can keep up with Zhuge Liang, and he is not particularly greedy. In the Chinese system, there is no opportunity for corruption. In fact, Li Hongzhang was not good at standing at the beginning. Whoever was the second child of the Qing court ended a tragedy. Li Hongzhang had already done a good job. As for the major issues in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it was not his problem. Most of them were blamed on the Qing court.

Now it is the world of China, and these problems no longer exist. For the central government of China, which urgently needs major personnel to take the helm, the cute president welcomes these senior Han officials from the former Qing Dynasty to work in the Chinese government.

"Your Majesty, you didn't seem to have a good impression of Li Hongzhang before?" Princess Katrina Kaifu asked leaning against the cute president.

The cute CEO will sleep with Princess Katrina Kaif and Lee Tae-hee tonight. This is the first time the cute CEO is sleeping with his two wives at the same time.

It doesn't matter to Princess Katrina Kaif, Lee Tae-hee is a little embarrassed, but when all three of them are lying in bed, that's actually the case.

"Li Hongzhang is still OK. At least, he has the demeanor of a senior official. It would be different for us senior officials in our early twenties to serve as diplomats, and it would not be like that when we took it out." The cute president smiled.

Princess Katrina Kaif smiled sweetly, "Are you talking about me?"

"Well, let alone you, even me, can't catch up with Li Hongzhang's aura." The cute president smiled and patted Princess Katrina Kaifu's little hand, "Go to sleep."

The cute president, Princess Katrina Kaif, and Lee Tae-hee were in bed for more than an hour before the cute president fell asleep satisfied.

After a few days, there were still hard work in China and Japan, and the final decision was made, mainly the issue of withdrawal and the aftermath of the conflict between the two teams.

There was a lot of discussion within the Japanese government about resolving the Sino-Japanese issue. According to the report of Xu Chengzu, the Minister to Japan, it was said that "there are more literary and more military, and the more military, the more military, the more war."

The Japanese government held a meeting and decided to adopt a "peaceful" negotiation method, sending Hirofumi Ito as the plenipotentiary ambassador and Saigo Congdo as the deputy envoy to China to negotiate the issue of withdrawal of troops after the disaster.

Ito Hirofumi told Xu Chengzu that he always advocated "reconciliation" between China and Japan and asked the Chinese government not to doubt it, "so that China and Japan are like a family, so that Westerners dare not face it." These sweet words are cunning methods commonly used by Japanese diplomats, aiming to paralyze the attention of the Chinese government.

They realized the invasion conspiracy under the cover of China-Japan friendship and harmony.

Ito and his party arrived in Seoul in January 1877. Xu Chengzu's telegram to Li Hongzhang before Ito's departure was more able to guess Ito's real purpose in coming to China: Ito attempted to pass the blame on the Chinese troops, and made Chinese officials in North Korea not dare to offend Japan lightly in the future.

As for the withdrawal of Chinese troops, it is Japan's most concerned issue.

All this is to achieve the goal of clearing obstacles to Japan's invasion in North Korea.

In China, regarding the punishment of the military officer in the court, China believed that Wu Zhao had nothing to do with it and would never agree to Japan's request.

Later, Li Hongzhang and Ito debated the issue of responsibility for the matter, and Japan's blackmail failed.

Regarding the withdrawal of troops from China and Japan, it is the central issue of the Li and Yi Tianjin negotiations, and its impact is extremely important.

China believes that there is no problem with China's troops to North Korea, because North Korea is already a province of China, and China has no moral reason to withdraw its troops.

The Li and Iran negotiations talked about the issue of withdrawing troops and contacting each other.

Li Hongzhang still had concerns, fearing that China would send troops to help suppress the fight, and was particularly afraid that Japan would take the opportunity to send troops.

The Chinese provincial government in North Korea is responsible for all decisions on North Korea's reforms and is responsible for the implementation. Its members include formerly stable and enterprising factions, young and strong people and political centrists.

These officials with different degrees of enlightenment have been unable to act because of their weak power since the outbreak of the peasant war.

At the beginning of its establishment, the Korean Provincial Government was still in progress because the Sino-Japanese War broke out shortly after it broke out. Japanese military and political institutions had no time to take into account the government affairs of North Korea too much, which provided the possibility for the Military Affairs Office to implement reforms more independently.

Therefore, the "renewal" born on the land of North Korea in 1878 is more precisely a reform.

In a short period of time, the North Korean Provincial Government has successively formulated and issued 2o8 important "internal reform" laws.

The scope of the law is very broad. Except for land and other property rights that are not covered, it almost includes all areas such as official system, administration and justice, finance, industrial trade, military, education, identity systems and customs. There are mainly the following aspects: Let’s take a look at the reforms in the political category.

North Korea consists of the original six ministers and foreign ministers, rural and commercial departments. The ministry set up bureaus, and each bureau’s rights and responsibilities and their status in the administrative rank were carefully divided.

Later, this system was further streamlined, resulting in a cabinet composed of seven departments, namely the external, internal, branch, law, academic department, agriculture, commerce and industry department and military department. The subordinate department has bureaus and departments (divisions). In parallel with this reform, the revision of the official rank system was also carried out.

The monthly salary will be changed to cash. The traditional imperial examination system has also been abolished, and the new method of appointment of officials eliminates the differences between the two classes and the civilians, the literary class and the martial class.

The local government system was also rebuilt, and the original eight roads were changed to 23 prefectures so that local administrative management could better adapt to local conditions.

The prefecture has set up a county, which simplified the previous complex system.

Soon the 23rd Prefecture was reorganized into 13th Road, but the county was still completely preserved as a local administrative unit.

Up to this point, the judicial and military power exercised by local governments have been deprived, and the authority of local governments over local people has been weakened, thus reflecting that local administrative concepts have become more modern.

Secondly, judicial power and administrative power are separated.

The law was promulgated by the courts, and all judicial issues were governed by this institution.

Local courts include courts specially located in open ports, belonging to junior courts, and those who accept appeal cases are senior courts or circuit courts.

Similar hierarchical reforms have been carried out on police power.

The Seoul Police Department is responsible for public security in Kyoto, while in local areas, the police officers under their jurisdiction are responsible for local security; the latter is independent of the administrative jurisdiction of the county magistrate.

Financial management has also been diversified.

According to the reform model designed by the Huacui Party in 1877, all finances such as accounting, cashiers, rents and taxes, treasury bonds, currency, banks and other businesses are within the authority of the newly established Du Branch.

The Du Branch has 9 tax management departments, supervising the 220 tax bureaus across the country, implementing tax laws, and handling local annual income affairs.

The monetary system has also been reformed.

The new currency constitution stipulates that the country implements the gold standard, nickel coins, copper coins, bronze coins and brass coins as auxiliary currencies; old currencies can still be used temporarily and are gradually replaced with new currencies.

With the monetary reform, it is stipulated that rent and taxes must not be paid in cash in kind.

At the same time, the weights and measures with different standards have been revised and unified.

Social reform was also an important part of the comprehensive reform implemented in 1878.

First, as far as the law is concerned, the social identity system has been completely abolished.

The class difference between the two classes and the civilians no longer exists, resulting in the official positions at all levels not being open to all talented people according to their social background.

The public-private slave law was abolished, and population transactions were also banned. Post-door, general, white dou, and other discriminated people were all exempted from traditional lowly identities. These are all social reforms of great significance, indicating the collapse of the identity system under the two-class system.

In addition, regulations to eliminate social bad habits were also issued.

The severe torture of suspects and the law of inciting criminals' families was abolished.

Early marriage is prohibited, and it is stipulated that men are 20 years old and women are 16 years old as the minimum marriage age requirement.

The widow is allowed to remarry regardless of the social class he belongs to.

Officials of government officials and even those who once held the highest positions can engage in commercial activities as long as they no longer hold their current positions.

The adoptive son's continuation law was revised, and the concubine's son had the right to inherit his father's business. The saving law was revised, and the dressing method used to distinguish the official character and show the difference between the two classes and the civilians was simplified, and more practical clothes were encouraged.

Overall, the reform content stipulated in the above laws is necessary for the progress of North Korean society in many aspects, many of which are reflected in the "Jianju Peace Treaty" of the Peasant War, and the bloody struggle of the North Korean people for it.

These reforms are in line with the fundamental interests of the people and are the embodiment of progressive policies.

The policies implemented by China in North Korea are even larger than those implemented in the local area and have greater steps because there are fewer people.

Japan's loan coins were cleared on the Korean Peninsula, mainly serving Japan's battlefield needs, so as to facilitate the Japanese army to requisition food and husbands in North Korea.

With the expansion of the Sino-Japanese War, the expropriation of military supplies and manpower increased sharply, and the demand for North Korean currency increased, resulting in a trend of unfavorable exchange rates for Japan.

It was the Chinese New Year in 1878.

The cute president has been in North Korea and Japan for half a year. The great migration of the entire North Korea has been completed, and the remaining small group of Koreans and Japanese scattered soldiers, less than 10,000 people, are within the scope of resolute encirclement and suppression.

The North Korean issue has actually been basically resolved.

Hirobu Ito came to Seoul in person to find the cute president.
