v3 Chapter 33: The flags are in a state of waste

, The fastest update of the latest chapters of Edo Traveler!

Although he was ill, Chuemon was anxiously paying attention to the situation in Edo. Prices have skyrocketed, as always, and they have risen for more than two months. Not only is it restored to the level before Mizuno Tadakuni began to take power, but most prices are even worse.

The dissolution of Zhu Nakama, the official price setting, and the artificial reduction of prices, which was previously supported by the Edo samurai and ordinary people, also completely failed.

Under these circumstances, the samurai living under the Edo Castle had serious dissatisfaction with the ruling Mizuno Tadakuni. No matter how much Mizuno Tadakuni has done for them in the past, just saying that the money in their pockets will depreciate again is enough to make the vast majority of samurai with average or very little income stand on the opposite side of Mizuno Tadakuni.

After all, they feel justified when they enjoy low prices. After the price rises, it is because the ruling seniors are not doing well!

Probably already knowing that he was disgusted by almost all of the Kakimoto Yu family in Edo, Mizuno Tadakuni finally started something he had always wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

Clean up the old ills, clear up the new style, reward talents and learn, and reshape the samurai!

Needless to say, the Tokugawa Samurai group, which is regarded as the ruling foundation of the Tokugawa shogunate, was indeed assisted by their ancestors two hundred years ago, and they won the crucial challenge of capturing the world with the assistance of their ancestors. The original battle and the battle of Osaka Castle. These people are in the water and fire, holding their heads in the rain of guns and bullets, helping the Tokugawa family to lay the ground, not for the sake of Zhixing Shilu!

Your Tokugawa family has granted me a hereditary territory of Zhixing, I will carry my guns and horses for you, go through the waters and fire, wherever I can!

It's a pity that the ancestors did sacrifice for the Tokugawa family, but the descendants may not have the courage of their ancestors. Now they are all **** lying on the books of merit and enjoying their achievements.

If he didn't try to cheer up Qimoto's 80,000 horses, then the Tokugawa family would also rot and stinks with him, and then fell into the abyss together. The relationship between the monarch and ministers for two hundred years has long bound the two sides together. The Tokugawa family relied on the retainers to rule the world, and the retainers assisted the Tokugawa family in suppressing the princes.

Tadao Mizuno dared to touch their cake. That was great determination, great perseverance, and grandeur!

The banner of the shogunate was known as 80,000 horses. In fact, there were 5,000 banners and 23,000 imperial families. Only 28,000 people served as the samurai regiment that ruled the sixty-six countries under the shogunate.

Although almost all positions in the shogunate were implemented in shifts, it not only prevented one person from being in power for a long time, but also enabled more people to have something to do. However, no matter how many positions are added, it can provide these 23,000 people with official posts, but it will not exceed 10,000.

The Edo Town Magistrate where our Chuemon is located, and Edo, which manages a population of one million, has only 71 officials on a shift. In order to be concentric, Zhu Liu needed his two dads to move around, give gifts, and eat, before they were completely settled.

Shuroku is still true, let alone others. At present, the appointment of shogunate officials, in addition to the most basic requirements, is also a rampant bribery, which cannot be forbidden at all. It is even possible that Mizuno Tadakuni has been asked by others to help others find official posts.

For an official who has been promoted like this, where is there any desire to be an official? Or thinking about continuing to drill the camp and climb up. Or just thinking about using the power in their hands to seek benefits for their own realization.

Even Chungemon, a samurai master who is barely regarded as an upright official, does not embezzle, accept bribes, and blackmail merchants, but he eats all the year round, confiscating a little bit of bad rules and etiquette.

Now Mizuno is very good. In the future, the selection of officials will require examinations and selection in addition to no longer completely watching the ranks. Carry out corresponding tests among all qualified persons, and select the most talented person to fill the post.

In Xingtou, Mizuno Tadakuni has burned a few fires in recent days and dismissed a few samurai who did not meet his official appointment procedures. Four banners were forced to live in seclusion, and even one was sentenced to ten years away from the outer islands, and they could be repaid if they were pardoned. Although they did not cut off their family and allowed their children to inherit, but the punishment was shocking enough.

At the same time, Ieki Tokugawa visited the martial arts center, and Tadakuni Mizuno went to the Changpingzaka Institute to test the cultural relics of the samurai. Taking oneself as an example, it means that this order to cheer up the morale is not a joke, but will stick to the end.

In addition to the support of Tokugawa Jiaqing, the big bosses such as Laozhong, Fangjin, Ruo Nianji, as well as all the sects and the prefectures also basically agreed. However, they only represent a small number of high-level samurai in the Tokugawa Samurai group. What needs to be dealt with more seriously is the attitude of a large number of middle- and lower-level samurai serving as middle and lower-level officials.

"You mean there is hardly anyone making trouble?" Chuemon felt incredible.

The knives have already cut the top of their cake, and this group of people is not making trouble, looking silent. What do you think? Just accept it like this? To be so tolerant, the shogunate's reforms should have been successful long ago.

"You think, the palace of the general is fifty years old, and Hou Hamamatsu is forty-nine years. How can anyone touch the brows of both of them?" Zhuliu sighed.

People really are like this. Those who have already taken up positions and sat as officials happily, even though they are also anxious in their hearts. But now the general and Laozhong are both at the age of "knowing the destiny". In current Japan, it is basically a leg stretched into the coffin. Instead of jumping out to object, it is better to wait quietly for the two to die.

Don't say anything smart or not, people are just such kind of things. If the knife doesn't hit themselves, most people will only choose to calm down. That’s why I did not speak when they arrested Jews because I am not a Jew; they arrested XX members and I did not speak ~ lightnovelpub.net~ because I am not a XX member; they arrested Catholics and I did not speak because of me Not a Catholic; when they arrested me, no one could speak for me.

That's what it means, ancient and modern, China and foreign countries are all the same, you are the same, I am the same, and Chungemon is the same!

The more than 10,000 warriors in power who are in power do not make trouble, and the more than 10,000 Kakimoto Yu Family members who are not in power are not strong enough. However, there are still some lower-level samurai inside, who feel that they have not met their talents, and are actively seeking channels for improvement. This kind of examination and selection method is really an opportunity for them.

As a result, the samurai who had no official position split up a group of lower-level samurai to support Mizuno's examination and selection measures. He raised the bowl and scolded Mizuno for being unable to control prices, and put down the bowl to support Mizuno's appointment of talents. People, not surprising.

Plus the timid, fearful, wait-and-see, and so on. The Tokugawa Samurai group, which was clearly united and might be able to overthrow Mizuno Tadakuni directly, unexpectedly died down at this meeting and made a stubborn product.

Waste, waste!

Mizuno Tadabang found out that this group of people was really useless!
