Chuemon immediately summoned two shogunate engineers from the Tokugawa Railway, both of whom had studied in the UK, although they lacked much experience and lacked practical skills. But if you understand the situation of the Tokaido main line, there should be no problem.

Two engineers came to the call. For the choice of the entire route, the two of them agreed that they would take Ogaki, pass Hikone and Kyoto, and go straight to Osaka. The construction is simple, and it is easy for the construction team of the shogunate to continue to accumulate experience. At the same time, it can save construction time and speed up the return of profits.

This year, it was a flag that knew the financial situation of the shogunate.

Although there have been signs of improvement in the past two years, it has only changed from eating the grain of the grain to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Fortunately, the tax was not collected after 70 years, and the coins that had seriously affected the market's money and goods transactions, such as Tianbao Dangqian Coins issued before, were basically recovered.

With the unification of the currency values ​​of the Japanese two and the British pound, the shogunate casually rectified the financial order. It is a good blow to the two domestic businessmen who are disrupting the market, and they are bruised and bruised.

They just relied on the shogunate to have no fixed currency system in terms of silver, and the silver circulating in the market was all weighed and valued. When exchanging small sentences for gold, or copper and iron coins, they arbitrarily adjust the price in order to make huge profits.

In addition, in the past, the Shimadzu family and other princes who were probably not very clean, large-scale casting of fake silver with extremely low silver content made the transaction and exchange of silver goods in the market inconvenient.

If there is really time, the shogunate has to think of a way to rectify the item of silver goods. Now that the international silver price continues to fall, the shogunate can even buy silver from the international market to change the difference between the domestic and international gold and silver exchange rates in Japan.

In the past, the shogunate restricted the outflow of precious metals such as gold and silver, and the import and export trade was settled in several places such as Binhai Customs. The large-scale outflow of millions of gold taels in history did not occur in Japan at this time.

Although foreign cloth and foreign iron are pouring in frantically, Japanese raw silk and red copper are also being exported in an orderly manner. The figures of import and export trade at home and abroad have been greatly balanced. When the output of raw silk is further increased, the domestic textile industry and other light and heavy industrial systems are gradually established, and the foreign trade of the shogunate can be exceeded.

Well, that's all for later, let's go back to the railway.

After Chuemon asked the two engineers, he left his official hall and went to help Liu to discuss. Suke six cared about his own people, and he also had some ideas. Zhongemon has been very happy to cooperate with him for so many years.

On the way, Fukuzawa Yukichi, the provost of Edo University, came over to apply for the university's monthly funds from the shogunate. Chuemon sent an attendant to find Songping Qimin to ask for it, and he slipped Fukuzawa Yukichi on the way.

"Come on, come and join my staff." Chungemon greeted Suke six.

As Ruo Nian Ji Ge and foreign countries pursue merger, Zu Liu's affairs are actually not too busy. Britain, France, the United States, and Russia, as long as any country that has the strength to project power to East Asia, is now on the line with Emperor Xianfeng, and has no air control over Japan.

British Minister Alcock was in India, and led a training team to quell the great uprising. French Minister Roche went to Kobe to supervise the construction of the Hanshin Railway. Harris, the US envoy, is not an idle person either, and has already gone to Tianjin by boat.

The so-called mediation of "trade and diplomatic disputes" between Britain and France and the Qing country is actually a plan to take advantage of the fire and desperately seek benefits from the Qing country.

As for Russia?

It is not that the sky is falling apart, Russia will not take the initiative to find the shogunate for the time being.

Who is it that Putinya was ripped off by Chungoemon before, and it has become one of the jokes of diplomatic envoys from European and American countries. If nothing else, the Russian envoys would try to avoid contact with the shogunate.

Anyway, the shogunate has opened its doors to trade with countries all over the world. It is enough that Russian ships can enter and leave those trading ports freely. On the territorial issue, the shogunate got on the British guy's thigh and gave his army to the British guy to squander. Britain and Japan are very close, and they cannot be messed with for the time being.

"Aiya, I have nothing to do all day long, and I have nothing to do with my salary." Zu Liu sat on the table, almost falling asleep.

Originally, the samurai of the shogunate would go to work half a day in the morning, and they would basically leave after lunch. In such a short period of time, Zhu Liu is still doing nothing, which is really difficult for him.

"Look, this is the telegram from the sweep." Chuemon took out the telegram and showed it to Sukeroku and Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Isn't it just asking about the railway line? It's okay to lay it according to the British design." Zu Liu looked at it, stretched out his little finger and licked his ear, looking a little lazy.

"I think so too, but his last sentence." Chuemon pointed to the end of the telegram.

"Afraid that the railway will pass through Hikone and cause doubts?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked in a low voice beside him.

He was a little royal family, and of course he could only speak in a low voice in front of Lao Zhong and Ruo Nianzhi. Besides, Chuemon is his de facto lord.

"What's so difficult about this, the shogunate is used to not allowing others to question it." As a daimyo, Suke six spoke in a louder voice.

But for more than 200 years, the shogunate has indeed been like this, arbitrarily political, and the generals can decide the world with one word. In the Ako incident, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said in the morning that Nagato Asano had his belly cut, and he did not even give time to write a suicide note. You are not allowed to have any doubts at all, just kill it first.

"Isn't this a special situation now?" Chuemon shook his head, indicating that he couldn't go straight.

"That's easy, you still don't know how to operate it? Just come up with an excuse, so that everyone has no time to take care of this matter." Zhu Liu did it step by step from the grassroots level, and the routine was very familiar. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^

Right, if something big happens in the shogunate and you don’t want the people to discuss it, just get some lace news about the actors in Kabukicho, spread it out, and everyone in the community will discuss who is cheating, who is prostituting, who is who and who is who. Violent. It's very useful, it's hard to try.

"What is it that can make the generation people care about it?" Chuemon also thought about it, and this kind of political wisdom can be used for reference.

"The old middle school has already been elected, and it is impossible to choose again. Then create a new position, such as Kobe Shiroyo, Shenguan Customs Supervisor, the shogunate has not been elected." Suke six said it easily.

It just so happens that Chuemon is now the senior middle school in charge of personnel temporarily. The position that was to be added was indeed recommended by Chuemon, and then reported to the Tokugawa family for approval.

Able to go to the customs, and it is the customs of this era. With the Nagasaki practice and the supervision of the Binhai Customs, the two jewels are in front, and it must be able to arouse discussion.
