As a result of this, Naobi Ii seems to have gone the same way as Mizuno Tadabun. Seeing the princes and flags, most of them are waste, so in the pressure and concessions one after another, they gradually felt that as long as the iron fist fell, they would succumb.

Theoretically speaking, this time, the fundamental interests of the princes and banners were not affected, unlike the direct deprivation of territory by Mizuno Zhongbang, or the violation of the red fruit such as the upper salary. I just ordered those who are qualified to serve as the pedigree of the old and middle school, as well as the foreigners who are forcing Lai Lai everywhere, and hurry up and move away.

They were asked to pay people to settle in the north, but Jingyi Zhibi also stipulated that all the land that was opened up belonged to the cultivators. Moreover, the annual tribute from this part of the land was not handed over to the shogunate, but was collected by the vassals themselves.

In fact, the shogunate got the benefit of enriching the general direction of the north, and the benefit that could fall in front of the hand, Ii Naobi still gave it to the princes.

But now, the princes are trying to overthrow the cabinet at a critical moment, taking advantage of the fact that the Tokugawa family will not be able to manage, they will overthrow Ii Naobi in one fell swoop. How could they be willing to leave Edo at this time and miss a rare chance for a high-ranking position in years.

Needless to say, all of a sudden Edo went up and down, and the objections were turbulent, like a continuous wave.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to say that I want to stay and fight for power, so I am not willing to go to Ezo and Huatai. Not long after the imperial order was issued, there was an immediate reason to refute.

The northern regions are bitterly cold, and most of the undeveloped land is not grasslands, but large tracts of coniferous forests. It is necessary to carry out continuous felling, then digging roots, drying the ground, and dividing the soil before planting can be carried out.

It's not a temperate grassland, a fire burns it, and then pulls the ox plow to turn the soil. Sprinkle two handfuls of soybeans and wait until the harvest is over, so simple?

Slash-and-burn cultivation, slash-and-burn cultivation, you have to be able to plant it!

You said to grow potatoes and soybeans, no problem. But the reality is that it is now March, and it will be April when the princes return home. In the most perfect state, it does not consider the relocation of the common people, or the financial deficit of the princes. It would take at least a month to pull people to Ezo one by one.

When they got there, they started cutting down trees and burning the mountains. The Ezo area was so inaccessible that several people could not hold a tree. It would take more than a month to prepare for the reclamation.

It's already August!

Nowadays, the weather is generally colder these days. Ezo may have frost in September and snow in October. How do we use a month to mature potatoes or soybeans?

There is no food for a season, and tens of thousands of people are sent to Ezo. Do you want us, the princes and the people who reclaim the wasteland, to die together in Ezo?

Yes!

Pooh! bah bah bah! Naobi Ii certainly hopes that these challengers and those who stir up the storm will all die in Ezo. On the surface, however, it cannot be said directly.

What people say is well-founded and can't be wrong at all. Although the shogunate is the co-lord of the world, it has the power to command the princes. But your orders to the princes must be reasonable.

In the past, foreigners were forced to build Zenshang Temple and Kuanyong Temple, which was to make them be loyal and filial to the previous generals, which is just and righteous. Renovating Edo Castle is your feudal duty as a vassal. I entrust the territory to you, and you have to serve me.

Now let people go to reclaim wasteland, you have to give them time to prepare!

No problem, we can go, please give us two years to prepare. This year, we will send people to demarcate the boundaries, do a good job in building and land planning, and understand the local rivers and mountains, so that we can reclaim land along the river.

In the second year, we will save money and grain to prepare for the first year of land reclamation without income, so that people who go to land reclamation will not starve to death. In the third year, everyone set off happily again, going to Ezo and Huatai to build the north for the shogunate.

Naobi Jingyi was originally a temporary decree, so he had thought about so many things. His regime was unstable and he was eager to stabilize the situation. When people ask him this, he has to give an answer.

"So calling you all today is to make a clear statement with you and do everything possible to raise money!"

Naobi Ii, who was sitting in the first seat, said this to the Edo merchants who were seated below. The fluttering words caused extremely bad memories to spread in the hearts of the wealthy merchants.

When Jingyi Zhibi first came to power, he burned six million taels of cash from the world's wealthy merchants, and it was completely free and demanded to be paid immediately. Later, after the intercession of Chuemon and many people, and Ii Naobi began to borrow foreign debts, it was changed to the national wealthy merchants who paid 3 million and paid them in two years.

Now you come again!

Needless to say, Jingyi Zhibi's response is also very direct. You princes say you don't have the money to pay for land reclamation? No problem, the shogunate lends it to you and allows you to repay it in five or ten instalments. And the interest is completely exempted. In the future, if you have made contributions to the shogunate, the shogunate can also waive the loan.

I am generous, is there anyone in this world who is more generous than me?

As for where does this money come from? According to Naobi Ii's thinking, there are only two paths now. Either borrow foreign debts, or force wealthy merchants to accept them.

The foreign debt was to be repaid, and there were additional conditions, so Naobi Ii didn't want to touch it for the time being. As a qualified feudal ruler, blackmailing big businessmen has become the most direct way.

"..." The wealthy merchants under the seat heard that Jing Yi Zhibi called them to come, and knew that today's matter was troublesome, and they all held back for a while and refused to express their stance.

"I don't know how much the old man needs? If I can do my best, I'll wait to search for gold treasures, poor private treasuries, and I'd rather repay." Seeing him secretly, Shigeru Nara, who is already the leader of Edo's wealthy businessmen, UU reading www.uukanshu. com finally spoke up.

"Let's borrow a million first, and then we'll discuss it later." Jingyi Naobi is now willing to give up.

Anyway, offending a wealthy businessman is better than offending a samurai. That one million, stop the mouths of the princes, and talk about the things in front of you first.

As long as the princes were driven out of Edo and sent to Ezo, he would have room to move around. Whether it's pulling one faction to fight another faction, or directly punching all opponents to death, it's the way to go.

To gain time!

"One million! One million..." The more than ten big businessmen under the seat were sweating like rain.

As far as the shogunate is concerned, it was just a touch of lips, as if it was said very lightly. But for businessmen like them, the impact of taking away one million of liquidity at once would be too great.

If you give it, you can afford it, but with the appearance of Jingyi Zhibi, she is afraid that she will give one million and then another million. At that time, even if there is a cornucopia at home, it will not be enough for him.
