Edo Traveler

v4 Chapter 11: Too much implicated and cowardly

For the silk shop owner and the guys, Hachiro Amano and Shintaro Terazawa were not touched, but Tademon knew very well that they were definitely telling the truth.

At this time, the population of Japan was about 30 million, sometimes more and sometimes less. The limit population that can be supported by agricultural production is just so large. After the explosive population growth of Daiqing next door, there are already about 400 million people, more or less, indistinguishable from each other.

Calculated on the basis that the silver in circulation throughout the country is about 500 to 700 million taels (actually more than that, because the Chinese have a very strong saving habit), the level of development of the entire society is definitely not as good as that of Japan, which is next to the country. The total is about one-twelfth of the clear. It is about 30-50 million (Japan) taels of gold.

The Shimadzu family has cast fake silver worth more than 3.2 million taels of gold this time, which is worth one-tenth of the number in circulation in the entire society. This harm to the small Japanese economy is almost devastating. .

It is no wonder that even in the future history books of the so-called "Sa Chang History View", the evaluation of Tiaosuo Guangxiang will be mixed. Tiaosuo Guangxiang's contribution in the fall of the curtain movement is compared with the Western industry and commerce that was severely damaged because of him, and the indirect economic decline and rural bankruptcy caused by him. It is really hard to say which one is greater.

It can even be said that the direct perpetrators of the lower-class warriors, wealthy merchants, and wealthy peasants in the Western countries who support the downturn movement are the Tiaosuoguang Township. And the shogunate they opposed had actually been trying to preserve everything that was destroyed by the mediation of Guangxiang.

Of course, the shogunate, the car that was rushing into the abyss, had never selected a driver who would step on the brakes. On the contrary, one after another, the treasures that came to rush the throttle were selected, and in turn, they added firewood to the "evil deeds" of Guangxiang Tiaosuo, which gave a good boost.

Bakumatsu is really an unintelligible era...

Rush to each other, you rush me, I rush you, rush to the end, what a cheap thing!

After finishing the sentence, Chungemon can't come in vain. People regard us as a country dumpling, so we can't really make a dumpling. Not to mention, if it is not compared with the silk of the Qing country on the other side, as far as the silk produced in Japan is concerned, it is the best produced in Kyoto. So buying some fashionable materials, even if they are sent back to Edo as a gift, is also very good.

Our own is a big "upright official" and can't wear such a fancy new yarn-dyed silk, so let's forget it. I highly recommend it at the shop, and the guy who hopes that Tadaoemon will buy a piece of silk himself is very disappointed.

The inconsistency made people think that Chungemon was a poor ghost in the country. After buying it for his relatives, he became ashamed. It was really not worthwhile to waste so much of his saliva. I didn't even say the following sentence that you measured your body length with me and delivered your new clothes to the house within two days.

But fortunately, Lai Chuemon bought a few pieces, the size is considered a customer, and the appearance of enthusiasm is pretty good. He also sent a guy to carry a lamp to the Chuemon Gate and illuminate the road, saying that it was going to be dark, and he was afraid that Chungemon didn't know the place. As long as the name of the place was mentioned, the guy could help you directly to the place.

The service was quite considerate, and it was pretty good for someone to lead the way. By the way, learn about other situations in Kyoto, so Satsuma has a say.

The guy carrying the lantern is a little guy, and his level in the silk shop is obviously very low. The status is still at the level of "fire man", and he is not too old, fourteen or five years old or younger, but he is very talkative. In a place like a store where you need to open the door to welcome customers, there is no business talk without a good mouth.

In the business field, the young man is still imitating and learning, but the chai, rice, oil and salt in life, this young man has already experienced hardships a long time ago. Regarding the fake silver mentioned in the shop, the young man did not feel too deeply. He was from a poor man and had only dealt with copper coins in his entire life. Although he had seen gold and silver, he had never used it at all.

However, he is very clear that because fake silver is flooding the market, many small businesses on the market are unable to distinguish it. Even large businesses, because silver is used for weighing, are mixed and cannot be quickly distinguished. The worst thing is that the ordinary people who go to the city to sell their own earthen silk and earthen silk, as long as they receive a fake silver, the result is bound to be unable to pay the annual tribute.

Either escape into the mountains and become a thief. Either go into exile and enter the city, become a city scumbag, live a precarious life, and work hard to survive. One day it can't sell, it's dead. The worst situation is that they are caught by landlords or rural usurers, and their wives and daughters are sold into certain places, and they themselves become slaves.

The young man's family is worried about his livelihood because of the skyrocketing prices, the decline of the market, the closed doors of the merchants, and the reduction of income. He can only be sent directly to the shop to work as a man without any wages, but at least he can take care of the food during the work period. This is better than anything else. It's not good to have food.

As for why Edo is not as serious as Kyoto or Western countries, the reason is very simple. First, the population is larger, the market is larger, and the entire market has more currencies in circulation. Secondly, in addition to the Satsuma clan, who falsified silver, more than 200 other great names bring real money to Edo every year. Every year, millions of real money are consumed in Edo~www .lightnovelpub.net~ The little fake silver that Satsuma flows into Edo can't make a big splash.

Moreover, Satsuma can set up several royal merchants in Osaka, and can also find a way to send those fake silver to the West. But in Edo, almost all the wealthy merchants are the white gloves of the shogunate. Edo is the private place of the shogun's family. The cash that the shogun needs must be collected from the Edo market. How could it be possible to allow other daimyo to intervene.

Entering the Akashi mansion in the boy's surprised eyes, Chuemon still didn't think of a proper solution. The amount of fake silver made by Satsuma is too large, affecting the normal economic order of the entire Western country, and killing more than one hundred and two hundred thousand people.

It was just a terrible thunder, even if Shimadzu Qibin didn't go to poke him, he would be stabbed by others sooner or later. Once stabbed out and the incident is announced, the Shimadzu family will basically become the public enemy of the entire Western Kingdom.

That is to say, in history, Guangxiang was very brave, and committed suicide by cutting his belly directly, leaving the shogunate with no evidence, which suppressed the follow-up. Now Ii Naobi is focused on this matter, and there must be many people who are looking at it. It is only a matter of time before the explosion.

For the whole hot potato, Chuemon regretted understanding and investigating this matter. Don't Zhongfu Zhongjiao didn't help, and gave us a sorrowful affair.
