Edo Traveler

v12 Chapter 61: 0 new police stations

Chuemon sat in the official hall of the Ichibashi Mansion, and all the seniors and Matsudaira Qi Xuan had already arrived. As usual, everyone sits down and has a short imperial meeting. It's okay to talk about something, or have a chat if you have nothing to do.

The emperor on the other side, whether from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, summoned his ministers at the same time every day. At the great court meeting, I see hundreds of officials at once, what can we discuss? It's really a decision to make, and it's not a decision formed at such a small-scale meeting.

Because it is customary for the shogunate to start working after nine o'clock, when the former general Tokugawa's family was in power, he even summoned the minister during afternoon tea, so everyone at least came to work when they were full. The ginseng slices, I dare not even drink saliva.

Because everyone is old acquaintances, and they were ministers in the same hall a few months ago, Chuyouemon is not in a hurry to discuss matters with the ministers. First of all, I will tell you what Izawa Hachiya had just heard reciting the "Education Imperial Order" on the way here.

It can be considered to share what I have seen and heard today, and people recite so carefully, and they are still reciting things that were whitewashed for the Tokugawa family and the shogunate. Chuemon is still very moved.

Hearing this matter, Matsudaira Qimin was slightly upright. He is now the director of education in Laozhong. The Tianling Primary School will be fully opened in the autumn of this year, and things will be done during his tenure. Now that there are "results", and it is said at the imperial meeting, isn't it just a light on the face.

"Reward!" Songping Qi Xuan also nodded.

The main work of the primary school was actually done by Matsudaira Qixuan. He was the first superintendent of education, and after taking office, he was specifically responsible for the preparation of elementary schools. Even the school affairs of Edo University were handed over to Fukuzawa Yukichi. In theory, he deserves the most credit, but now that he has been promoted to the eldest, there is no need to care about this anymore.

"It's the same with Yuyi." Chuemon gave his golden timepiece to Hachiya Izawa.

"Being benevolent and loving the people, rewarding education." Songping Qimin took advantage of everyone's happiness and received such a sentence.

He is a person and a businessman, and he does everything in a friendly way, and he talks and does things like this. Staying in the shogunate, providing education for the shogunate, and being able to turn around in the middle, is very good. Plus everyone knows that he doesn't have much ambition, and they have a good relationship with him everywhere.

After talking about gossip, he naturally turned to the official business of the shogunate. The things that need to be done are all negotiated by Zhongyouemon and Matsudaira Qixuan before, and the first one is the new police administration.

The personnel, etc., have been confirmed earlier, the preliminary work is fully prepared, and the rest is to directly issue an order and implement it. As the first fire of the old and new officials of Matsudaira, this fire is burning more vigorously.

According to the previous discussion, the shogunate needs to set up a new chief of police, but because it is mainly to manage the police scattered in the countryside of Tianling, the jurisdiction has not been fully spread. It's just that because there is such a thing as the management of the reserve, the level is a little higher. After all, it is not a trivial matter when it comes to the military.

Ruo Nian Ge · Police Chief!

You must choose a vassal or a feudal lord to serve, and it is best to be proficient in military affairs. The current police affair is not only to strengthen the shogunate's ability to control local areas, but also to accommodate retired soldiers.

Based on this, Matsudaira Qixuan turned around and recommended Chuanlu Shengmo, who guarded Uraga with him back then. It has been more than half a year since Chuanlu Shengmo was demoted to Huatai, and it is enough to say punishment.

This is not much better than being dismissed today and continuing to work in another position next month. At the very least, Chuanlu Shengmo was really punished for three drinks, and he worked in Huatai for more than half a year.

It is completely reasonable to restore his status as Wanshi's daimyo now, and he was promoted from Fengyuan to the police chief. To be honest, there are rebels everywhere these days, and someone like Chuanlu Shengmo who supports the shogunate wholeheartedly, even if he lacks the ability, he has to use it.

We, Chuanlu Shengmo, are the loyal ministers who committed suicide after hearing about the opening of the castle in Edo!

Not only is he familiar with foreign affairs, but also familiar with the general affairs of the shogunate, there is no more suitable person than him.

More importantly, Chuemon is now in charge. Thinking of Chuanlu Shengmo, who served the Duke together with him, will soon be sixty years old, and he is still far away from Huatai, I can't bear it. At such an age, there is no need to say more about the truth of falling leaves returning to their roots.

After the candidate is decided, it is to set up the institution that almost everyone will know in the future life, and everyone must know it.

Police station!

When Matsudaira Qixuan chanted the name, Chuemon thought it was okay. I got used to it in my last life, and it's fine to continue using it in this life.

It's just that the police station of the shogunate today is different from the boss of the later generations. The police station set up by the shogunate is more like a security post in later generations, a small room with one or two police officers stationed at the office.

In "The Lonely Gourmet", there is also such a description of a small police station.

At present, the management scope of the police station is also very small, basically just a few nearby villages. If you can catch a petty thief, that's not bad. The main reason is to summarize the situation in the countryside on a daily basis, and then report to the police chief in Edo. Let the shogunate know the local trends, and prepare everything in advance.

Because there were only about 2,000 police officers selected this time, and there was no way to cover the entire Tianling, Songping Qixuan only asked to set up more than 1,000 police stations to cover the Tianling countryside in the Kanto region as much as possible.

The funds for the police~lightnovelpub.net~ are also allocated separately from the funds of the army. Unlike later generations, the police of the shogunate were just an extension of the training team, a place where retired soldiers were placed. Naturally, his expenses must be managed by the military.

So along the streets of the world, spread out into the villages of Kanto, a small building suddenly appeared on the side of the road or at the street intersection of the village.

At the entrance of the building, there was a sign that said "Police Station", and a policeman stood at the entrance. The people in the village looked at it and found out that this is not who they are in their own village, why did they become a policeman?

And what is the police doing? What's the use? Guys don't even know. The only thing that everyone envied was the police uniform that was temporarily changed from the military uniform. Songping Qi Xuan asked Hong Chishan to send 5,000 sets of military uniforms directly, but the color was changed to navy blue.

The only thing that touched the village was the original owner of the village, or the manor house. Although on the surface these police officers are harmless to humans and animals, it is hard to say what the future holds.
