Hong Chi Shan hurried home, not knowing whether to practice bed riding or go to someone's house to hug his son. Chuemon's trip to Osaka is basically over, and I'm going to take a bus to Kyoto first, learn about the current situation in Kyoto, and report back to Tokugawa Jiading.

Before the turmoil in Kyoto, several towns were burned to the ground, and the inside of the forbidden city was also bombarded. It also scared Prince Yu Gong Muren to death. Naturally, the shogunate had to spend some money to supplement and repair the walls and palaces of this imperial residence.

Theoretically speaking, the shogun of the shogunate had the responsibility of guarding Kyoto.

The other is about the arrest and disposal of the rebellious elements in the Jinai, which is a problem that Naobi Ii is more concerned about. Naobi Ii advocates that as long as it is basically determined that it is a gangster, it will be directly destroyed and brought down. These people disturbed the world and even set fire to Kyoto.

In the future, Baobuqi dares to set fire in Edo! If you don't kill at this time, when will you wait? Moreover, Jingyi Naobi's argument is very straightforward, he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.

Now that those people have bombs, who knows if they will come and throw me?

Chunemon's opinion was different. He wanted to deal with this group of people horizontally and vertically. It would be better to tie up the whole family and send them to Kata to grow beets, or to Kamchatka to grow potatoes and hunt whales.

Killing is at best a momentary pleasure, let them contribute to the development and construction of the shogunate. Sugar beets can be planted to make sugar, trees can be cut down to make paper, and whale oil can be directly exported, all of which are required by European and American powers.

The entire Huatai and Kamchatka are short of people. Rather than forcibly forcing the people to go, it is better to send these respectable elements. He is in Huatai or Kamchatka, whatever he wants to play, just let him play. They wouldn't have been able to swim across the Sea of ​​Okhotsk without a boat anyway.

It is even possible that after leaving the settlement, they froze to death in the wasteland. The Hongzhimai gold mine in Ezo was originally mined by exiles, but Shintaro Terazawa came back and reported that there was no need for many supervisors at all.

Don't be afraid of people running away!

If you have the ability to cross tens of thousands of square kilometers of no-man’s land in minus 20 degrees weather, then I would like to call you a man from the sky. More importantly, in the above-mentioned areas, in addition to Kamchatka, which has begun to grow potatoes, it has barely been able to be self-sufficient.

Katashima and northern Ezo are currently relying on ships to transport food. If there is no food brought in from outside, you will starve to death. still running? If you can't run for two days, your hungry eyes will turn green, and you will run back by yourself.

In the past few months, Jingyi Zhibi went out to inspect, and many things in the center of the curtain wall were discussed by everyone. Therefore, the Zunzong elements and their family members who were arrested by the Chief Director of Okita were basically sentenced to exile for 3,000 miles, and they were sent to Huatai to open up wasteland.

The British were very satisfied with the rapid "prosperity" of the Langley Concession. After learning that the shogunate was planning to build a local paper mill and a sugar beet factory, they also showed a certain interest.

Generally speaking, Britain's attitude towards colonies is more about plundering than building. Even if it is construction, it is mainly for the convenience of better plunder.

So, if it is profitable, the British are willing to build. It’s just that the first team sent by the UK was a gold prospecting team. After Langley established the concession, there were not Ainu tribes who migrated for fishing and hunting. British soldiers exchanged cheap knives and axes for gold dust from their hands.

Needless to say, the British, if they found a treasure, asked the shogunate's general translator to understand the origin of this gold dust from the Ainu. The Governor of Hong Kong, who is also the actual administrator of the British Far East, immediately selected more than a dozen capable people and followed the Ainu to find the gold mines.

Paper mills and sugar mills should be considered in the long run.

Who cares, Chuemon is jealous, but unfortunately the northern part of Katashima is a British concession for a period of ninety-nine years, and it can be renewed in the future. For this thing, the shogunate cannot compete with Britain for the time being, don't think about it.

When he arrived in Kyoto, Tokugawa Keibao had already sent a team to wait for a long time. After Chuemon was taken to the Nijo Imperial Palace, the banquet was held. He has been serving as a guardian of Kyoto for two years, and he has never returned to Edo, and he has not seen Tongchuemon for many years. Take this opportunity to have a good relationship.

Chuemon didn't drink too much, but just got to know the recent situation in Kyoto with him. The interior of the forbidden center has been renovated for a long time, so please rest assured of Chuemon. The relationship between Tokugawa Keibao and Emperor Xiaoming is very good. He repairs the house for his good friend. What else is there to say.

The streets and towns in Kyoto that were burned down in the previous turmoil have been basically restored with the support of the Mitsui family. Mitsui is also an important white glove of the shogunate. Right now, he still listens to the shogunate's greetings.

Besides, the restoration of Kyoto is only good for the Mitsui family, not bad. Their family is very active. It is said that because of the fire, the Mitsui family also annexed a lot of land in Kyoto.

Just like the Hongchi family, which has acquired hundreds of thousands of acres of land for more than 200 years~lightnovelpub.net~ When disaster strikes, ordinary people have to sell their land to survive. These wealthy merchants took the opportunity to eat up, and the Mitsui family was even more generous.

The whole street to buy, tsk tsk tsk.

In short, please rest assured from the Edo side. Now the market in Kyoto has returned to the way it used to be, and the security situation has greatly improved. The Xinxuan Group has arrested thousands of men and women in a row, and even the most jumping gangsters have become good people. How could there be security problems?

"By the way, there is one more thing." Tokugawa Keibao suddenly thought of something.

"En?" Chuemon saw that his expression was a little solemn, and he put down his glass as well.

"There seems to be a rumor in the ban!"

"how!"

Chuemon's eyes tightened. After all, Iwakura has already been cut off by us. Is there anything that is not afraid of death, and is making irresponsible remarks in the ear of Emperor Xiaoming? No, it's only been a few months since the Anzheng Prison, and the court officials were silent. At this time, no one should dare to come forward.

As a result, Tokugawa Keibao leaned into Chuemon's ear and told a rather secret message. This matter has not yet been publicly discussed, and most ministers are not aware of it. Even Tokugawa Keibao was just chatting with Emperor Xiaoming when he overheard him ranting and omitting such a sentence.

Adopt the children of the palace family!

That's right, after the death of Prince Yougong, there will be no male heirs under Emperor Xiaoming's knees. In order to ensure the inheritance, maybe you can choose one or two children from the various palaces, and it is not clear how to do it, and first bring people to the palace to raise them. Choose their pros and cons to prepare. If there is still nothing to do after a few years, you can choose not to.

Just this candidate...
