As a British colonial official, Alcock also worked in India, and he has some personal connections. What brought the British Empire to fund the recruitment of six thousand soldiers for the shogunate, that is pure nonsense. His idea is to coax the shogunate here first and pull the army to India. When the army arrives in India, the British and Indian government will pay for it.

　　 will not cheat at both ends, what kind of official do you do?

　　 The finances of the Indian colonies were to a certain extent independent of the British finances. The Anglo-Indian colonial government had considerable financial independence and autonomy, as well as considerable financial surplus to deal with various emergencies.

　　 Now that India’s anti-British uprising has broken out violently, the finances of the British and Indian governments within a few years are definitely a bad debt, and no one can clarify it. With this major premise, for the thirsty British-Indian government, a "pseudo-British army" of thousands of people is far more important than hundreds of thousands and one million pounds.

　　 In these years, the timid are starved to death, and the courageous. Alcock wanted to climb too much, this subjective initiative has been exerted to the extreme, which is worthy of praise.

　　 "The six thousand new army, the extra cost is huge, all provided by your country?" Songping Qixuan heard this condition, and was a little tempted.

　　 Anyway, I borrowed money from a foreign country to strengthen the military strength of the shogunate. If the British were willing to directly pay for the expansion of the shogunate, it would really be a good deal.

　　 "But you have to send three thousand people first to help Calcutta." Alcock said with squinting eyes.

　　 Two scams, he fooled him with the 6,000 Sharps rifles intercepted by the shogunate. When the mission team arrived in Kolkata, the British and Indian government would be fooled. As long as there is no error in the middle of this lie, the probability of success is still very high.

　　 (In history, these six thousand Sharps, the British and Indian troops were really useless. After a simple test, they were directly thrown into the warehouse.)

　　 "Recruitment fee for the relocation?" Chuemon asked in a voice.

　　 "How about three hundred thousand pounds?" Alcock's own face can only be borrowed from the bank for the time being. If there is more, it will be a little difficult.

　　 After all, the money is not a loan, but Alcock directly gave it to the shogunate on behalf of the United Kingdom. It is completely free, and it only needs to be used to recruit soldiers. In fact, Alcock needs to negotiate with the bank, and then the Anglo-Indian government will pay for it with capital and profit to fill the gap.

　　 "I can barely apply it..." Songping Qixuan's eyelids passed, and he passed it in his heart.

　　 In addition to paying a one-month relocation fee, the recruiting team also had to expand the barracks, order military uniforms, bedding, shoes, socks, and hats. Counting it down one by one, three hundred thousand may not be enough for six thousand new military.

　　 "It's not enough." Chuyoumon watched Matsudaira and announced the final decision, knowing that the money might not be enough, even if you don't need to buy firearms, it's not good.

　　 "Then, the follow-up payment, as long as your country needs to use it, will be written to me, and after the accounting calculation, it will be reimbursed at the same time?" Alcock was still very calm on his face.

　　 "Is it reimbursed?" The members of the shogunate on the left and right were a little unhappy.

　　 It doesn’t have to be the world’s map guns, but reimbursement is a difficult thing to do. In many cases, it is difficult to get reimbursed. Often the entire reimbursement process takes two to three years, or even longer.

　　 It is said that in order to reimburse the accounts of the Taiping Army, the neighboring Hunan Army dragged on for four or five years. There were also a lot of bad things, and there was no reimbursement.

　　 "The reputation of the British Empire can be guaranteed!" Alcock pretended to be arrogant.

　　 "Hehe." Tademon sneered inwardly.

　　Daiying's reputation? Is it selling the reputation of teammates? Or is it a reputation for playing scribbling? If you have a reputation, the international reputation of the shogunate may sound better than you. At least other countries do not know the Tokugawa shogunate, and those who know the Tokugawa shogunate also know that the Tokugawa shogunate is just a country with harmless food.

　　 "If it's not appropriate, you still have to cash in cash." Naobi Ii directly opened his mouth to be a villain. Anyway, the shogunate does not ask the United Kingdom. This money cannot go through the reimbursement process, and it will be discussed after the cash is paid.

　　 "Hmm...you guys wait a minute." Seeing the shogunate's disapproval, Alcock looked at Chuemon, but Chuemon didn't answer, so he stood up and said he wanted to discuss with his left and right entourage.

　　 "Will you please..." In the end, it's a big deal, and everyone didn't think it could be decided by a few words.

　　 When it came to the shogunate’s side, there was a dispute. The conditions for the British to recruit 6,000 troops for the shogunate were indeed good, which was equivalent to giving the shogunate one million pounds in vain. Even if all these six thousand people went to India, and hundreds of thousands were killed or injured in the end, wouldn't the shogunate still leave five thousand people behind? That's great.

　　 It’s the fact that Alcock gave the money and it’s not profitable at all. Obviously 6,000 Sharps rifles are worth a lot of money, but he gives them as they say they are, but how can the cash be deducted and withheld?

　　 Tademon thought that it might have happened suddenly, and Alcock didn't get much authorization to come to Japan, so he could only give some reluctantly and wait until London's order arrived before he could give more.

　　 Listening to Tadashiemon's statement, everyone recognized it~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, Britain also has a king. Alcock, a minister, certainly can't be the master of all. You have to listen to Queen Victoria.

　　 Mugaku argued on this side, and Alcock also argued on it. This time, not only Alcock came, but also the manager of the bank and the British tax department of Yokohama Customs. These people have money, they are all in charge of the money, they are the **** of wealth, and Alcock has to beg them.

　　 The first 300,000 yuan has been requested. It is obviously unsatisfactory to see if the shogunate will not see rabbits or scatter eagles. I can only beg the Lord of Wealth for a few more. When the Anglo-Indian government paid the money, it guaranteed a lot of interest for everyone.

　　 After some thoughts, the gods of wealth said that this matter is still a bit difficult to handle. In the end, the taxpayer Li Thailand proposed that he could use the Yokohama Customs’ debt repayment deposits. It was originally agreed that the accounts would be settled once a year. Moreover, the remaining amount of tariffs transferred to the shogunate was not paid on a monthly basis, but was settled on a yearly basis.

　　 There are still hundreds of thousands in the customs warehouse. It is no problem to borrow temporarily, but can you pay it back at the end of the year?

　　 Alcock took a sip of water after listening to this suggestion. This money is hot and very hot. If it doesn't come in the end, he will be torn into pieces. But the arrow was on the string, and he had to send it. Alcock, who had already mounted the tiger's back, could only agree.

　　 Finally, after discussing with several bank and foreign business owners, Alcock returned to Chuemon with confidence.

　　 "If the shogunate can dispatch 3,000 people within a month to help the empire defend Kolkata, then the empire can immediately hand over 1.5 million pounds to the shogunate!"
