I heard that Chuemon had completed the relief work, and he came back to pay the bill. Originally, this matter should have been settled by the docking with Chuemon. However, Tadakuni Mizuno received a report earlier that he believed that the one-year Chen sent to him by Tademon was replaced by a three-year Chen. Although this matter didn't turn into a major event, Mizuno was still ready to knock on Chuemon.

　　 is not to prevent you from getting rich, but you have to distinguish between priorities, and there will be opportunities to get rich in the future!

　　 Hearing that Mizuno Tadakuni, who is Mizuno Tadako, would personally check with himself, Chuemon was not too surprised, after all, this is the most important thing for one hundred thousand stone rice. The general received four and a half million shi, and got rid of the salary paid to the Qiben royal family. He also got a million shi of rice, which is not a small sum.

　　 Come on, follow the guided flag to enter the table. Edo Castle has regained its former weather, and under its gorgeous appearance is an old machine that is bloated and slow to run. It seems that everyone is doing the work at hand in an orderly manner, but who knows that they are running around like this, but in fact it is just a futile effort.

　　 There are all kinds of people who come here every day. How many people are really doing things?

　　 When I walked to the official office dedicated to Mizuno Tadakuni, the veterans of the Tokugawa shogunate were all on duty, and not a few people would be valued together. Even Mizuno Tadakuni doesn't come to Edo Castle to work every day, maybe it happened to happen today. Chuemon first waited for the samurai in line to enter one by one. After about half an hour, it was his turn.

　　 Mizuno Tadakuni sitting on the top looked a little tired. Although Mizuno Tadakuni, who is already forty-eight years old, is not old, he is getting old after all. There are many difficulties in implementing reforms, and the number of people who are held back is countless, and it is difficult to be happy in their mood. Naturally, this state will not get better.

Let Chuemon say that the current Mizuno Chukuni is better than Matshirahama, who had just been promoted to the first minister when Tokugawa Ieaki died a year ago, and was ready to make drastic reforms and reforms to save the Tokugawa shogunate. Songhou.

　　 is far from as good as...

　　 At that time, Mizuno Tadakuni was in the mansion for a long time, studying and raising hopes and nurturing people's hearts. He even assisted Watanabe Kasayama, who was framed by **X prison, and became the most prestigious generation in the Tokugawa family. Tokugawa Ieki left him to Tokugawa Ieki. He may not have the idea of ​​assisting Tokugawa Ieki to achieve a career.

　　 The once glamorous and ambitious Mizuno Tadakuni is now more like an old shogunate official who is busy with complex affairs. There is no future and no hope. With a Weibo salary of dozens of dollars a year, he leads a fixed and difficult life.

　　 "Sit down." Mizuno waved his hand and motioned for Chuemon to approach and sit down.

　　 "Fearless." Tademon said this cliché while holding the ledger.

　　 Then the two fell into a short silence. Mizuno probably met many people before and dealt with a lot of things, so he was sluggish, so he closed his eyes and rested.

　　 "I heard that this relief, there is still a surplus?" It was a meditation, but within a few minutes, Mizuno immediately asked Chuemon.

　　 "There is a little surplus, all on the account."

　　 Holding the ledger in his hand with both hands, facing Mizuno Tadakuni's direction, Tadaemon lifted his hips and walked for two steps, stepping forward and handing it to Mizuno Tadakuni.

　　 "Let's talk about it." Mizuno is still very satisfied with Tademon's respectful attitude, but he has prejudices in his heart, so he is reluctant to look at the books.

"Obviously, this time for relief, see the branch warehouse rice 86,751 shi and five liters, the true color is one year old, see 13,249 shi and five liters. Verify that the warehouse is sealed, The number is clear."

　　 Hearing the words "Year Chen", Mizuno raised his eyes and looked at the narrating Chuemon. I found that Chuemon's eyes were clear, and it seemed that he didn't move his hands or feet on the rice. When most people do something wrong, there will always be some psychological fluctuations. This is inevitable, and only a very few very determined people can do bad things and remain calm.

　　Odd, could it be wrong?

"For relief, I bought 1,040 iron pots, a total of 425,2 points. Purchased 652 stones of salt, a total of 2,022 taels. Purchased 200 stones of miso, a total of 190 Seventeen and two points..." Chuemon reported one by one, all with details.

　　 All the purchases here were personally watched by Tadashiemon. All prices were normal prices. They did not use their power to demand low prices, nor did they take advantage of others to make profiteers a lot of money.

　　 "How many do you see?" After listening to the details of the Tadakuemon newspaper, Mizuno finally took out the ledger and looked through it.

　　 "Seeing, seeing, seeing..." Chuemon paused deliberately to attract Mizuno's attention.

　　 "How much!" Mizuno Tadakuni frowned, his questioning with majesty.

　　 "See you at ninety-one thousand taels."

　　 Chuemon did not say this loudly, but it was not only Mizuno who was looking at Chuemon, his eyes widened suddenly~lightnovelpub.net~ There was a stunned thumping sound outside the office. Suddenly, Edo Castle Motoo didn't know how many people suddenly pressed their ears to the wall, waiting for Chuemon's words.

　　 "Are you sure it is ninety-one thousand taels?" Mizuno Tadakuni said so loudly, he couldn't control his voice.

　　 Don’t look at Mizuno Tadakuni is a big name of 153,000 stones in Hamamatsu, but he has never seen a complete ninety-two thousand dollars in his entire life until now. As the prime minister, his annual expenditure is only two thousand taels of gold. And his Hamamatsu clan's total income in one year would not exceed 45,000 taels.

　　 "It's under the gallery, waiting for you to check it out, my lord."

　　 "Lead the way before the head!"

　　 Just waiting for your words, Chuyouemon has been working hard for the past two months in the snowy and cold wind to help the disaster, and all he wants is to show his face in front of you, the chief veteran of the shogunate.

　　 The two immediately got up and walked out. The banner officials on the left and right gave way. Of course, there were also people who wanted to report to Tokugawa Jiaqing that such a major event had happened. Ninety-one thousand taels was already one-sixth of the general's annual income. Even the wealthy Japanese Tokugawa Iekiyo, this was a figure that moved him.

　　 Two bullock carts parked in front of the Omoo Garden. Hachiro Amano and Shintaro Terazawa stood by. They entered Edo Castle for the first time, and they were looking at the highest authority in Japan with a little curiosity.

　　 "Are they all here?" Mizuno Tadakuni put aside the caboose Amano Hachiro, started by himself, and opened a rattan box.

　　 "See the gold ninety-one thousand taels, all here, please check and accept the Hamamatsu Hall, so that the officials can reconcile the accounts!" Chungemon said with confidence.

　　 Slightly far away, Tokugawa Ikei, who was guided by the attendants, only saw Mizuno Tadakuni holding several bundles of golden judgments!
