Edo Traveler

v11 Chapter 89: Note to the British cheating

Remember [New] for a second,! After receiving the telegram from Matsudaira Qixuan, Zhongyouemon secretly cursed in his heart, cooperating with Daiying, it really is really seeking skin with the tiger. Really used to only take advantage of this fellow Dae Ying, no one else takes advantage of Dai Ying.

How to do?

Sheng Haizhou's suggestion is good. Since the British side is acting like a sloppy one, they can only be prepared to start a slobber lawsuit. Yasaka Wakisaka, who came over with a telegram, asked Chuemon how to write this note to the British envoy.

How else can I write? Just send a letter and ask the British to settle the salaries, subsidies and pensions of the previous expedition team as soon as possible. You don't need to fight, just put things on the table first.

"Let me send it?" Zu Liu stood aside, worried that he had messed up the matter.

After all, the British still owe hundreds of thousands of taels, if he didn't ask for the money back. Although the soldiers of the training team didn't do anything to him, they could definitely do something like throwing dung at their door in the middle of the night.

Those debt collectors in Edo days even hired beggars to bang on people's doors 24 hours a day, preventing them from sleeping. They will also write something like "paying your debts, just right" on the door panels and fences. Although I don't dare to hurt people or anything, there is no lower limit for disgusting things.

"You just send it, and when you're done, come back." Chuemon let Suke six not have to worry too much.

Right now, it is not something that one person or two people can understand in a day or two. Even if Chuemon went there in person, it would be of no use. It is clear that the British are ready to be ripped off. What can you do about Lao lai?

There is no way!

People are shameless, the world is invincible!

"Then I'll take a trip." Zu Liu agreed.

Seeing that it was confirmed that it was Suke six to send the note, Yasaka Wakisaka breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of thing, as long as it doesn't involve itself, it's fine. He just wanted to be a prime minister of Taiping, and after another two years, he would go into seclusion and give way.

"The salaries of the soldiers can still be resolved, what about the pensions for the war dead?" Naobi Ii asked.

Before recruiting and training 6,000 new troops for the British, the shogunate had a budget. It is estimated that 4,000 people will return, but in fact, even 4,000 complete people have not returned. Therefore, the shogunate has two points of spare capacity to support the soldiers' follow-up salaries. If it's a big deal, I'll post the first solution for the second half of the year.

As long as the salaries are in place, the living soldiers can generally settle down. However, the shogunate did not prepare for the money of the dead, which is what the British should give.

"How much does the shogunate see?" Chuemon turned to ask Matsudaira Qixuan.

Hearing Chuemon asking himself suddenly, Matsudaira Qixuan subconsciously wanted to shrink his neck. The shogunate's finances are a mess that demolishes the east wall to make up the west wall. He is not a natural financial expert, how can he have so much savings. I was about to imitate Kong Yiji, and when I came out, "Not much, not much! Too much? Not much."

"At most another seven or eighty thousand..." Songping Qixuan is only responsible for accounting, not for making money. If you ask him, it is actually difficult for him.

"Oh, Chuyouemon, if the British people delay, how much can Kogyo Club support?" Naobi Ii is shameless anyway, not to mention that he has a relationship with Chuemon, so he asked for it directly. Valley

"Yes, yes, Xingye Club will borrow one or two of them first, and then the British will give it, and then pay it back." Songping Qixuan saw that Jingyi Zhibi asked for money for help, and immediately took over.

"You are the **** Ebisu of the shogunate!" Yasaka Wakisaka laughed.

The left and right laughed together. Who didn't know that the three major clubs had a surplus, but this was Chuemon's replacement for the general Shiwan, and they had some scruples, so it was not good to reach out directly.

"If the British people don't pay pensions in January or February, Xingye Club will think of a way." Chuemon neither agreed nor refused.

Seeing that Chuemon didn't say anything to death, then the follow-up would be easy, Naobi Ii nodded. Anyway, his mouth has already opened, and he will be finished when he reaches out behind him. If you can ask for a little bit, you can only do things when you have money.

Come on, Suke six drafted a letter by himself, looked left and right, Naobi Ii signed a letter, and asked him to go to Yokohama and send it to Alcock, expressing the shogunate's concern about the arrears of the payment to the training team.

It is customary for Ii Naobi to sign. The British, or all foreigners, do not trust the so-called imperial envoys of East Asian feudal countries. In the past, when signing a treaty with the shogunate, it was necessary to ask the minister of the headpin and the chief shogun to sign the monogram, and the general of the shogunate to confirm the seal, otherwise they would not recognize it.

It's the same now, you have to sign the shogunate's eldest brother or the shogun, or they won't accept it. Who knows what kind of cat and dog you came to sign, and the next day the general said he was "walking alone", and I have killed him, so it doesn't matter what he said.

East Asian feudal system is like this, there is no way.

Taking the train all the way to Yokohama, Sakuroku, as the shogunate's foreigner, submitted a note to the British Minister Alcock, asking the United Kingdom to pay the full amount. Alcock also took the note. Anyway, you can rest assured that I don't break the bill, but I have no money now, so I can't give it to you, you wait.

Suke six didn't mess with him, just chatted a few words and it was over, and was ready to meet Matsudaira Qixuan again before returning to Edo.

Songping Qixuan didn't want to see Alcock's face for the past two days. UU reading www.uukanshu.com heard that Zhu Liu had just gone to hand over the note, so he asked him what he meant by being British. Zhu Liu, of course, reported it according to the facts, and the British practiced Tai Chi with him for a while, but he did not ask any results.

Although he had known for a long time that this would be the result, Matsudaira Qixuan was still anxious when he heard it. He has been in the company for the past few days to appease the soldiers, saying that he will definitely call the shots for everyone.

He also felt the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers. This life is sacrificed to help the foreigners fight, and the foreigners still owe their wages, who can bear it? Songping Qixuan could only talk about it for two days, and the British could solve it by 100,000.

We just stare at him every day and ask for 100,000 in 10 days and 8 days. It will take a few months, and the money will come. The soldiers listened to what he said, plus they really loved Songping Qixuan, and they were all willing to believe in Songping Qixuan, so they settled down.

Matsudaira Qixuan also paid out of his own pocket and called hundreds of workers who provided special services to foreign crew members at the Yokohama pier and residential area to give the soldiers and soldiers a laugh.

The soldiers cheered, and their grievances were temporarily suppressed, as long as the British paid another 100,000 pounds next week. Then, owed wages and subsidies, etc., can basically be perfunctory.

The soldiers in Yokohama were able to be fooled into returning to Edo.
