Naturally, there must be some princes who can understand Chuemon's actions. But to be honest, almost all the princes these days are trying to get rid of their burdens.

Except for a very few princes in the world, most of the financial situation is very bad. Although there is a raw silk business now, this is just to give them an extra sip. Moreover, the main purpose of the raw silk business was not only to generate income for the shogunate, but also to resettle the idle rural population.

If you raise silkworms in the countryside, you will have one day to eat, so ordinary people will not think about other things. All his thoughts are on raising silkworms, exchanging silkworm cocoons for rice to eat. It's better than going to rebel and kill your head, you say, right?

As long as Shen Qin explained that this bottomless pit is still there, those princes who have not reformed their vassal government will not have more money to support their warriors. Therefore, in the early Edo period, if there were samurai who left the domain, then the princes could not wait to issue orders to hunt down the whole world and arrest them everywhere. As for the current princes, if they heard that a samurai had left the domain and ran away, they would even be secretly happy in their hearts.

One less samurai means one less salary. Don't feel that ten stones and twenty stones are less. For example, in Uesugi Yingshan, which many people are familiar with, his annual expenses are only 1,500 taels of gold. Dozens of samurai less, and the cost of a 150,000-stone great name will be more.

Therefore, except for a few princes with bright hearts, the other princes heard that Chuemon had hired samurai along the railway line in the form of military service. Not only is there no dissatisfaction at all, but I don't think this is shaking the foundation of their domain, and I even think it is the good governance of the general.

Thank goodness, General Hao finally opened his eyes. It gave them an opportunity to throw their burdens away, so that their finances could save a little more money.

As for the time when Chuemon started to give subsidies to the samurai of the various domains (as for whether this thing is called official service or service, we will not discuss it, okay, it will always be called allowance calculation), will they? Reducing the salaries of the samurai warriors in the domain will be another story.

Chuemon wished that they couldn't think about it for a while, and directly cut off the salary of the samurai he sent. At that time, wouldn't these people be grateful to Dade, kneeling directly at the feet of Chuemon, and wholeheartedly supporting my Tokugawa shogunate?

"As for the land required along the main line of the Shanyang Railway, you must send personnel to assist the members of the railway club to quickly acquire the land!" Matsudaira Qi Xuan saw that no one refuted the dispatch of personnel, so he continued to order.

In the past, the main railway line of Tokaido was built, because the way of Tokaido and the interior of the country was not Tianling, but also the pro-feudal and the generation, and the railway was actually laid along the original Tokaido street. Therefore, it is almost impossible to talk about land acquisition work.

Not to mention Tianling, as the direct leader of the general's family, all the land is actually owned by the general. The general has the right to confiscate this land, and then transfer you to other places.

It's not a large-scale change, just a few people. How can there be any opposition? Therefore, the land acquisition work is very smooth, basically, after the survey along the line is completed, the construction will be carried out immediately. While construction, land acquisition is very fast.

This is probably some kind of "benefits" of the feudal regime, which does not recognize any private property rights at all. The general has taken a fancy to your family, and you have to let it out.

Think about the construction of an airport in Tokyo in the future, good guy, it will be too much trouble, and it will be worse than Ge Ming. The combat effectiveness of the villagers around the airport has definitely maintained the top level of the crowd in the Warring States Period, and it is no worse than that.

Now the main line of Sanyang Road is built, all the way from Kobe to Shimonoseki, which is scheduled. Almost all of them were foreign countries along the way, and there were only a few genealogies and relatives, so Songping Qixuan had to vaccinate them and let them all send people back to the mainland to supervise them. The railways are all laid, and you are still noisy.

By the way, to add a gossip, the first big station on the railway from Kobe is Akashi.

How much effort did our Akashi Hou Songping and Qi Xuan put into this route planning? Anyway, Chuemon is too lazy to ask such a thing, Matsudaira Qixuan is the old man, and he has his own ideas. The general direction is consistent with us. As for the details, he can play as he likes.

"In order to avoid disputes, if the owner of the land to be acquired is unwilling, the railway club will come forward and purchase it at the market price, and you must send staff to assist." Songping Qixuan's eyes swept away.

"Chengzhi!"

For the sake of this, the princes have nothing to agree with. Anyway, the railways are actually roughly arranged along the old streets of Shanyang Road, and the farmland required is relatively small, so the land acquisition work is not difficult.

"Very good!" Songping Qixuan hit the folding fan in his hand and made a crisp sound.

Originally, it was only a meeting of princes to arrange the development of the national raw silk industry, but now the issue of building railways has been added. And none of the princes jumped out and said that this kind of discussion violated any system or was out of time.

If you can talk about the railway today, you can talk about other things tomorrow.

Chuemon thought it was a good start and drove well. When this meeting of princes slowly gets used to it, one day in the future, it will be able to quickly transform into the House of Lords of the Kingdom of Japan, that is, the House of Lords.

Although these feudal princes may not have any political talents, isn't that what Chuueemon wanted. At that time, the feudal government will change to a semi-feudal and semi-capital government, and Zhongyouemon will be the pillar of Genji and the head of the Tokugawa clan. com will be able to pull the votes of hundreds of Tokugawa vassals and genealogies.

The House of Lords of the Japanese Diet has a direct majority of votes. You want to play politics with me, right, so let's play. Let's see who has the most cards in the council, these genealogies and relatives, whether they are with me or with you.

"Today's ceremony is over, please step back." Chuemon stood up from the throne and looked down at the crowd.

The princes in the hall immediately jumped up from the sofa and then bowed to Chuemon. Basically, it is a kick to the end, which is a very standard ninety degree.

Then, according to the order of seats, or in other words, according to the rank assigned to them by the shogunate, under the leadership of Matsudaira Qixuan and a group of seniors, they exited the hall of Luming Hall one by one.

Chuemon did not leave immediately. Under the protection of Terazawa Shintaro, he also chatted with the new lord of the Hiroshima domain, Asano Sadacho.

It's a pity that the Tokugawa family was one of the godfathers that Kanosuke was looking for, Asano Keichi died of illness last year. Looking at the debt of more than three million taels of gold, Zhongyouemon swallowed, and decided not to let Kanosuke go into this mess. Therefore, Asano Nagano of the Hiroshima Nitta Domain was able to join the Hiroshima Domain.
