v4 Chapter 13: The king did not dare to blow by hand

Co-authored the shogunate and knew it a long time ago?

Then what am I doing!

"Hamamatsu has already found out at the time, but the time has not come, and sooner or later we have to settle accounts with him." Matsudaira declared that he did not avoid Chuemon, and directly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Fake silver worth 3.2 million taels of gold has flowed into the market. It is certainly impossible to enter the market through small consumption of ordinary people who make a living with ten dollars today and five dollars tomorrow. Most of them are concentrated in bulk trade and financial loans, with hundreds of thousands of large amounts entering the Western countries, especially the markets of Kyoto and Osaka.

Like the belt clearing next door, the silver used in the West Japan is also priced according to the quantity. Although there are also plate-shaped silver coins, they are just for the convenience of transportation and there is no uniform weight and content. Often a whole piece of plate silver is cut into many pieces by scissors to use it at the end.

Not to mention bean silver. Basically, it is also used for weighing. The weight of each bean silver is different. It is impossible for you to count one by one to weigh and use.

For example, the Shimadzu family owes a large merchant a thousand pennies, and it will be returned when it expires. The Shimadzu family mixes half of the fake silver in the silver pocket and checks them one by one. It is estimated that you will be three and five years old. Don't think about other things in the year, just squat on the ground to test your silver. And what if you find out, report officer?

sorry!

According to the decree of the eighth-generation general Tokugawa Yoshizong, the government office does not accept any reports of economic disputes!

Even if you have discovered the Shimadzu family's counterfeit currency, it is of no use. Of course, you can also call on your colleagues to boycott the Shimadzu family. It is a pity that the Shimadzu family has a large amount of sugar, and they continue to purchase dried goods from merchants back to the north and export them to Qing Dynasty.

You boycott...

Some people do not agree with you and want to make money for the sale and purchase of sugar and money for exporting goods. If you don’t resist, you have a good relationship. Tune Guangxiang rides on your head and shit, and you have to say that Master Tune, you are awesome!

Now in the circle of Osaka merchants, it has actually spread, and everyone knows that the Shimadzu family did this bad thing. So now people don’t play cash transactions with the Shimadzu family, and no one lends money to the Shimadzu family at all.

All pay for the sugar!

There is always no fake sugar in this world. As long as the sugar is sent to Osaka, Kyoto and Edo, it will immediately be exchanged for a lot of gold. Therefore, Tiaosuo Guangxiang also produced a total of 3.2 million taels of fake silver. You think he doesn't want to make more, because he has no chance to make it.

The rich merchants who survived by relying on the exclusive rights of the shogunate knew about this. How could the shogunate not know this? The shogunate not only knew it, but also knew it very clearly. But the shogunate just pressed it and didn't send it, waiting for a better opportunity to explode the thunder for him.

Prior to this, Mizuno Tadakuni resolutely implemented reforms, the purpose of which was to establish the authority of the shogunate and strengthen the shogunate's armed forces. At the same time, the Shimadzu family is still suffering from a lack of heirs. The father, son, grandson and brother in the family are basically at odds with each other. In order to determine the candidate for the next successor to the Shimadzu Domain, human brains have to play dog ​​brains.

So Mizuno’s thoughts were very good at the time. I strengthened the shogunate first, and then sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. When the Shimadzu family was torn up and dark, the shogunate would intervene as an arbiter in the Shimadzu family’s affairs. Heir's affairs.

Holding such a thunder in his hand, whoever wants to blow it up, is simply a king blow, and it is guaranteed that the Shimadzu family will pay enough. Then, by intervening in the Shimadzu family’s heir to the seven hundred and seventy thousand stone top-ranked foreign magnates, the authority of the shogunate was further strengthened, so that foreign magnates did not dare to make mistakes.

But now everyone has seen the result. Mizuno Tadakuni hasn't even completed the first step, so he went to the wild under the opposition of conservatives inside and outside. Even his own house was set on fire, and Lao Zhong didn't have to do it.

The whole plan fell apart from the beginning, and there was no chance to implement it. With the current weak power of the shogunate and poor finances, sometimes it is really not an easy task to wrestle with Shimadzu's long-standing toughness.

So holding a piece of Satsuma fake silver, the shogunate didn’t know if it should be used!

After all, if you want to engage people, you must have enough strength in your own hands. If you don't have enough strength in your hands, don't make it happen in the end, but you will be laughed at.

"So before your Royal Highness leaves Edo, the general is..." Tademon didn't restrain his curiosity for a while, and immediately asked.

"En!" Matsudaira Qixuan raised his head and glanced at Tadaoemon, his tone blunt for the first time.

Chungemon immediately knew that his question was really rash, how could a courtier test the king's mind. People are brothers, so naturally they can say. We are just an outsider, it doesn't matter if we can tell you. If you can't tell you, you can't ask, you have to be measured.

"It's Jishita's failure to speak, it's Shita's failure to speak..." Chuemon quickly accused him.

"Now Furukawa is busy with other chores. I definitely don't have time to deal with it. I don't know what's going on." Songping Qixuan nodded and closed the book.

Toi Toiwei is vigorously liquidating the reformists, UU reading www. uukahnshu. Com stabilized its power in the center of the shogunate, where there is still the mind to manage Shimadzu's affairs. Moreover, although the Shimadzu family’s issue of heirs has now fully erupted, the two sides have not yet reached the point of tension, and are still in a state of active probing. It may take some time until the trouble is likely.

That being the case, let alone Doi's position, even Tokugawa Jiaqing is not in the mood to take care of this matter for the time being. The shogunate’s own mess has not yet been cleaned up, prices in Edo need to be stable, and new old middlemen need to be selected. These things are more important than hitting Satsuma or something.

As for the dead and alive people who have been transferred to Guangxiang, that is really sorry, our shogunate did not take you to heart. No matter whether you are a wealthy businessman, a townman, or a common citizen, you are nothing but "all living beings", a high-ranking general, you can't be seen.

"The issue of Shimazu's heir is very close. Because of this, Kagoshima is in turmoil. If you miss it, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future." Tadaoemon said this is going along with Matsudaira, standing in the shogunate. Said on the location.

"This is a pity, but as long as the authority of the shogunate is extended, there will be opportunities to beat Shimadzu in the future, but I am not in a hurry." Matsuhira Qixuan said this with confidence. He felt that as long as he became the first of the old, Promote reforms and things will get better.
