v11 Chapter 93: Qi Xuan leaves Yokohama Hall

Remember [New] for a second,! Why didn't even 30,000 be issued? Because the soldiers who were waiting at the gate of the official hall, after hearing that there were only 30,000 taels, felt a huge insult, blocked the gate of the official hall, and made a noise.

At this time, Songping Qixuan made a decision...

He ordered Hijikata Toshizo and Enomoto Takeyo to go to the door to persuade the soldiers to return to the camp for resettlement, and the shogunate would naturally give them an explanation.

The crowd was raging. If Songping Qixuan, the prestige general, went out to persuade him, the soldiers might be willing to stop and listen to what he had to say. It is quite difficult to convince all the soldiers that it is only two relatively junior people, Toshizo Hijikata and Takeyo Enomoto.

Originally, they were only the chief officials of a team of troops, and the training team of the seal was divided into three groups. The soldiers and officers did not necessarily know each other. Who could convince who?

Maybe someone is about to ask, what is Songping Qixuan doing when he doesn't show up, he hides? Maybe the brain didn't turn around for a while, or it turned too fast.

Songping Qixuan thought that he only needed to raise tens of thousands of taels and spend a cent of the money, and everyone would feel at ease. So what he thought of immediately was not to come forward to appease the sergeant who was shouting at the gate of the official hall, but to ask Yokohama Shirogawa Road Shengmo, and Yokohama Steel Works General Manager Oguri Tadashun, how much money is still in Yokohama's official treasury?

Today you lend it to me first, to smooth out the chaos that is about to arise, and tomorrow I will ask the shogunate to ask for it and return it to you. Can my uncle Songping Qimin still reimburse me? He doesn't reimburse me and my eldest nephew, Chuemon.

As the largest open port of the shogunate, Yokohama connects to the big port where Edo, the main city of the shogunate, is located. There is naturally a little savings in the official warehouse of Yokohama. In addition to the over-taxation of ordinary Japanese settlements outside the settlements, there are miscellaneous and apportionments, plus a series of grants from the shogunate to Yokohama.

The steel factory needs money, the naval training center needs money, the merchant marine school needs money, and the Yokohama shipyard needs money. The money will be handed over to the Yokohama Jodai office, and everyone will go to Chuanlu Shengmo to collect it. If every month each department went to Edo to ask for money, Edo would not be able to handle it.

Now Matsudaira Qixuan can't control whether the expenses of other agencies are important, so let's deal with the soldiers who are making trouble in front of him. The money for their hard work is settled, and the rest of the matter will be discussed later.

Chuanlu Shengmo and Xiaoli Zhongshun could of course understand Songping Qixuan's thoughts. Chuanlu Shengmo turned around and asked people to pass on the concentric people who managed the accounts of the city, and came over to report the accounts to Songping Qi.

If you want to say hundreds of thousands, there is no official warehouse in Yokohama, and you can take out 20,000 or 30,000 immediately.

Oguri Zhongshun, who was on the side, was born in the shogunate, and knew the urine of the shogunate, so he asked Matsudaira Qixuan to write a receipt. Said that the money was borrowed by Matsudaira Qixuan, and the shogunate would be able to reimburse it in the future.

Everyone, don't say anything at this time, you still don't care about an IOU. Sometimes things just broke down on an IOU. After all, it was nothing more than a hundred or ten soldiers clamoring for it, and things were far from exaggerated.

Soon, the planner of the Yokohama City Representative Office was called to Matsudaira Qixuan. He stopped Tongxin who was about to salute and asked how much money there was in the official warehouse.

"There are 22,000 odd." The master planner immediately counted.

More than 20,000 yuan is not a small sum. At that time, the government sent 30 international students to the UK, and it only cost 20,000 taels of gold. Now there are 20,000 in the official warehouse, plus 30,000 at the door, half of the 100,000 is solved.

Just the other half...

Oguri Zhongshun, who was on the side, immediately spoke up. There are still several thousand in the steel factory's account, and they can also try to solve it. That's all money to buy iron sand from foreigners, so let's talk about it first.

But even so, the number is still far from 100,000. Sheng Haizhou, who is in charge of the school, is very anxious when he sees several Shangguan. He opened his mouth to remind.

"I heard that Shigeru Nara, a member of the shogunate, is still in Yokohama. Didn't he come to visit His Highness seven days ago?"

Nara Shigeru is now running all over the country, investing and setting up silk reeling factories everywhere, and then packing raw silk and bringing it to Yokohama for sale to British and American merchants, so others are not necessarily in Edo or Yokohama. When Matsudaira Qixuan came to Yokohama a few days ago, he happened to be there, and he had to come and pay his respects because of his feelings and reason.

This dude is the standard God of Wealth, and those who have money in Zhongemon are directly invested in reproduction and expansion. As a friend of the shogunate, Shigeru Nara has to pay tribute to the shogunate every year. The so-called "transportation of gold", plus the bribes to the powerful adults, he has to spend hundreds of thousands every year for the visible and invisible hands.

In addition, the business is big and needs working capital, so Naraya's book has hundreds of thousands or even millions at any time. Although its main store is still in Edo, the largest trading store has moved to Yokohama.

Thousands of pounds and dollars are exchanged every year, and the money is like flowing water. Going to him to borrow it is only 50,000 yuan.

The point is you can't pay it back!

Everyone in the room, even if they are all people who have opened their eyes to see the world, even like Oguri Zhongshun and Katsu Kaishu have gone to the UK to study. But for harvesting these merchants, I didn't feel the slightest bit wrong in my heart. UU reading www. After all, uukanshu.com's **** is on the feudal government. At most, it is a reformist, and it is definitely not a pearl or a radical.

After thinking about it for a while, Matsudaira Qixuan thought this proposal was very appropriate. He and Shigeru Nara also have a little friendship. I believe that with his old face, it is easy to ask for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Then I'll go!

Immediately, Matsudaira Qixuan instructed Oguri Tadashun to return to the steelmaking office to withdraw the money, and Katsu Kaishu followed him to find Shigeru Nara. At most, he would be able to withdraw the money within half an hour and an hour. By then, it was not dark, and there was still time to send money to appease the soldiers and soldiers.

It's just that the front door is blocked by hundreds of sergeants. If you go to the front door at this time, it may be blocked, and you won't be able to get any money. Lian Sheng Kaishu didn't think of this episode, so he followed Matsudaira Qixuan through the small door, preparing to go to the Yokohama branch of Naraya secretly and ask Shigeru Nara to borrow money.

In the huge official hall, only Chuanlu Shengmo was left behind. The others went out individually to raise money to deal with the situation at hand. But what the people in the official hall didn't know was that the news that only 30,000 was available today had already reached the main camp.

At this moment, more and more soldiers flocked to the gate of the official hall to learn about the situation from Hijikata Toshizo and Enomoto Takeyo. Or I just wanted to ask what was going on, but the environment was noisy, and everyone took a sigh of relief.
