"Brother, what kind of guns are you, give me dozens of them for my brother."

　　Shimazu Tadashi almost came up and got on his shoulders with Tademon Chuemon. The two are how old are brothers, and there are no people around, so naturally there is no need to be too restrictive.

"It was made by Dr. Shiro Takashima, the vassal minister of Saga, not exclusive to the shogunate." Tademon tells the truth, all this stuff was made by Akho Takashima. The shogunate has just begun to cooperate with the craftsmen of the Saga clan. , The technology of eating inside.

　　 "Saga?" Shimazu Tadashi murmured, this is not so easy.

　　 The shogunate also remodeled dozens of Sharps rifles this time, and the actual performance of martial arts for the princes to see, a total of ten people. After all, even the copper shell bullets were made semi-manually and semi-mechanically. The mechanics of the shogunate were so few people, it was not easy to be able to feed this sharpshooter with bullets.

　　 had to cooperate with Saga to slowly build a production line for copper shell bullets, and at the same time began to produce Sharps rifles. After all, the asking price of a Sharps American is as high as US$42.5. Even if the price is shameless, Naobei Ii, who has borrowed foreign debts, is secretly surprised.

　　 If you want to gradually replace the 14,000 new troops in the training team with guns, you only need to purchase imports. This is too costly and you have to start self-manufacturing.

"If you are interested, the people at the Satsuma Museum should be able to fill the shogunate gunpowder formula. Yokohama has good iron and red copper at the foot, and learned the method of foreign guns in Edo. Shipped back to Satsuma within two or three days. "Tadaemon suggested to Shimazu Tadao without a trace.

　　 Satsuma Integrated Hall was established when Shimazu Qibin was in power. To put it bluntly, it is the Western Machinery Research Office. Later, Shimadzu Qibin lost power. Because of the huge investment, this integrated museum had almost no output. Shimadzu Zhongjiao and the Hiroxiang Institute of Research were listed as one of the budget reduction departments.

　　 Everyone knows that Tiaosuo Guangxiang is a person who is extremely repulsive of Lanxue. He thinks that those **** is all Shimadzu Shigeo used to compare to the rich. So in addition to agriculture, forestry, and cannon casting, which can be used in Western science and technology, Satsuma started late in other modern technologies.

　　 But no matter how late, he also started, but now he doesn't pay much attention to it. No one knows that Satsuma is rich and powerful, smuggling can earn hundreds of thousands a year, Jinshan can earn hundreds of thousands a year, and gold is rolling in. Shimadzu Zhongjiao bought foreign guns and warships. Some of them were money. He had a bit of thought that it was better to buy.

　　 It is not impossible for us to pit the old brothers and the mechanics accumulated by Satsuma into the machine manufacturing unit of the shogunate.

　　 Besides, this is now called "joint office", how could it be annexation. Atsuhime is Odaisho, the general's wife. Shimadzu Yujiro is the general's son-in-law and a serious consort. Shimadzu and the shogunate were tied so deeply, for a while, the shogunate would not be the Kengshimazu family.

　　 "Also, if we can learn the method of making foreign guns together, we will discuss the other items." Shimadzu Shimazu thought a little and accepted it.

　　 "If it can be made, there must be a share of your brother." You are refreshed, and I am refreshed.

　　 The Edo Daiichi Machinery Office absorbed all the firearms manufacturing workers of its shogunate, and at the same time employed dozens of Saga craftsmen, and now also the Satsuma-Saikan craftsmen. With the scale of hundreds of people, as well as the leaders of guns and machinery experts who have returned from overseas and self-taught in their own countries, a modern weapons factory has been established. Valley

　　 is classified as Tokugawa Kogyo Co., Ltd. as usual, and I am afraid that there are not many departments. For the Xingye Club in the next few decades, it would be better to incorporate all industrial sectors into the club system in different categories to form a large-scale monopoly group.

　　 The two of them sum up for a while, and a major event can be finalized. It just happened to be on the rise today, Shimadzu Tadashi is the master, ask Takashima Qiuho to have a meal of noodles, and everyone can discuss what to do next.

　　 As for the other anxious people, Guan Zhongyou is farting.

　　 At this moment, pulling a British merchant ship of 6,000 Sharps ordered from the United States, after sailing more than half of the Pacific Ocean, it finally arrived at the transit port of Yokohama. I am going to continue to pull the raw silk in Japan and send it back to China.

　　 Anyway, we have sailed around the world, and naturally we will do all the business we can do on this road. What to make money and do? The Japanese silk that has emerged in the last two years has a good sales volume in Europe, and this business can be done.

　　 Moreover, Japan has actually started exporting red copper again this year. This is also a pretty good item, which will bring down European buyers. Merchant ships coming in between Japan and Europe and the United States only hate that their ships are small and cannot be dragged.

　　 The steam ship wafting black smoke slowly drew ashore. Even the busy Japanese workers at the large construction site in Yokohama, no one thought this "black ship" was strange. Many thousands of tons of merchant ships have gone, all of them come to Japan to do business.

The British employee of the customs, after leading the merchant ship to land, learned that the merchant ship with 6,000 guns from the British and Indian local government ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ also pulled a large amount of American ocean iron, so after taxing according to the regulations, it was quoted. The shipowner went ashore to find a foreign company's agent.

　　 There is already a mature operation and management model. These foreign irons are completely insufficient in Japan. For the time being, the dumping efforts of Europe and the United States may really not be enough.

　　 Soon, Japanese merchants came to undertake these foreign irons, and the comprador class began to gradually emerge among the wealthy merchants in Japan. Many compradors have been born in the shogunate and the feudal vassals, among those who have been doing business with foreigners for a long time. Judging from the current situation, this group is still expanding.

　　 The raw silk that the British shipowner wanted to buy was unlucky. The supply of goods on the market was not enough for the time being. A Canadian merchant ship had just pulled it away. If you are willing to wait two days in Yokohama, then Naraya promises to provide a certain amount of raw silk.

　　 Thinking that the Indian side was not in a hurry to deliver the goods, the British shipowner simply agreed to rest in Yokohama for a few days. After all, those wandering girls in Yokohama have been spread among foreign crew members, and they are so cheap. Those crew members who have been floating on the sea for so many days are really thinking about it in their hearts.

　　 By the way, this boat is also carrying the newly appointed British government's minister to Japan, John Rutherford Alcock, who is also a so-called "Asia Link". Historically, the shogunate was forced to sign the "Japan-UK Treaty of Friendship and Trade," but now it is not his turn to sign, and Erkin has returned home successfully.

　　 For the first time setting foot on the land of Japan, Alcock was not cramped. Anyway, he was backed by the British Empire, so he could do everything in Japan. Regardless of other things, let's first meet the Tokugawa family before discussing it.
