v7 Chapter 9: Blochov wrote back

Chungemon couldn't run to Tokugawa Kayoshi, and told him that Matsudaira Keiyong was a dog who eats and smashes the pot, you should hack him to death and bring him down. We can only close our eyes, Quandang does not know. This shogunate is frantically dying every day, so please ask for more blessings.

  Good words are hard to persuade **** ghost!

   Let's finish our business first, and first take Nara Shigeru to see Ooka Tadagou. Tadago Ooka gave the face of Chuemon, and met Shigeru Nara for about thirty seconds. After Shigeru Nara introduced himself, he said "Yeah!" and the whole meeting was over.

   Nara Shigeru paid a total of twenty thousand taels for this meeting, but not only did he not feel a bit of heartache, but he was extremely happy. The old and middle-aged people these days are still dealing with personnel affairs, and if they collect money, they will "repay their favors." The monopoly of Naraya's sugar and alcohol industries was foolproof during Ooka's reign.

   Since the old age umbrella Tokugawa Ieaki passed away, after Shigeru Nara hanged himself, Naraya, whose monopoly right to the rice industry was confiscated, is finally getting a new power.

   With this protective umbrella, not only the existing wealth can be preserved, but the monopoly of the rice industry can also return as long as the filial diligence and the profitable service are not uniform after the last two years.

   It's beautiful when you think about it!

   "Adults have the grace to rebuild when you stay here, and you can't remember them!" Shigeru Nara was not afraid that he would hook up with Chuemon to be known. He bowed to Chuemon at the gate of Ooka Chugoemon's residence.

  He wished that all Edo knew that he had hooked up with Ooka Tadoku and Chuemon. The more shogunate he knew, especially the more shogunate who had actual power, the safer the Nara House.

   "Just take care of the raw silk..." Chuemon knew Shigeru Nara's thoughts, but he didn't point it out.

   Anyway, we don’t have a dime to invest, just to catch such a bully and let him start the preparatory work. And it is foreseeable that even if a silk reeling plant is opened in the future, it will be at least 50% of the stock. It's okay to be "utilized" by Shigeru Nara just for the 50% of the stock.

   "I will take care of it." Shigeru Nara nodded repeatedly.

   He did arrange for a man to go all over the country to search for local silkworm eggs, especially those where the finest raw silk and silk fabrics were produced, and he sent manpower.

   In these days, silkworm eggs are transferred to each other by the common people themselves, and there is no talk of breeding of improved varieties or preservation of varieties at all. In addition, the mobility of farmers is very low, and perhaps even because of hundreds of years of closed breeding, silkworms in one village are different from silkworms in another village.

We also don’t have any ready-made biologists to invite for research. We can only select silkworm species that can produce better raw silk, and then send them to Edo for breeding or variety improvement, and then select the most suitable for industrialization. Production of silkworm eggs.

   is really a stupid way, the most stupid kind, bring back the silkworms, and then bring back the cocoons and the raw silk they produce. Nothing else, there are more people with foresight in the arena. Matsudaira Qixuan can see the quality of white silk at a glance at Hachioji, which is why I see a lot.

   There are so many Wufu shops in Edo, so many weavers and printing and dyeing workers, what raw silk is good, what raw silk is not good, ask a few experts to come and take a look, and you can get the result.

   Other than that is the problem of silk reeling equipment. There is no way to do this. The only way is to import it from Europe through the Dutch channel. I don't know what the scene of Fujitaro Honjima and others who started to build their own steam engines when they first boasted about going to Haikou. If they make a steam engine, then we will import two sets, one set for use, and one set to Fujitaro Honjima for imitation.

   If there is no error in the memory, at this moment, there should have been several clan experimentally making steam engines, including the Echizen Fukui clan we mentioned earlier. The most successful were the Saga and Satsuma clan, and the Saga clan would be able to independently build steamships in more than ten years.

   People have this technical reserve and talent base, and Chuemon doesn’t need to be in vain. Even if it is plagiarized and plagiarized by Naomasa Naomasa, it does not matter if he opens a silk reeling factory in Saga. In a few decades, Japan will have three to four thousand silk reeling factories, exporting more than 13,000 tons of raw silk annually. With one person and two people, or one factory and two factories, it is impossible to eat such a large share.

However, I still write a letter to Akho Takashima, asking him and Fujitaro Honjima to think about the steam engine. Since they want to mine the coal off Nagasaki, the steam engine pumps water and air is a good helper, and it is only good for them. of.

   As for Nagasaki, I don’t know that Blokhov, the director of the Dutch business curator, is still not in office. When the former son sent people to Nagasaki, I remembered that it was Blokhov who received the shogunate students. It is estimated that he has not stepped down.

   also wrote a letter, asking him to undertake the steam reeling machine on his behalf. It must be the most advanced set of British or French. We also hope to rely on this to pull the shogunate, get some tatters back, and play with a hammer.

   By the way~lightnovelpub.net~ Speaking of that kid Blochov, our six-round Colt revolver hasn't been sent to us yet. Now the shogunate’s approval is full of anti-thief outside, and inside the shogunate is also full of anti-thief.

   It is reasonable to say that these two years have passed, and the Dutch steamer has already made two rounds from Europe. Does this kid Blokhov feel that our little flag book is not on the table?

   Write a letter to remind you!

   "My lord, Hachiro from Nagasaki sent the letter back, and sent someone to bring a box of things back." Shintaro Terazawa walked in with the box, and he should have just delivered the courier by flying feet.

   "Let me see..."

   Amano Hachiro said that he had a hard time learning English, but he would never disappoint Tademon's expectations. The English teachers hired by the Dutch are also very serious about teaching. It is only after holding a "Bible" every day and being reprimanded by Oguri Zhongshun.

   I heard from the Dutch that the English teacher was still an American, and I didn’t know where such a strong missionary enthusiasm came from. Obviously, the Netherlands and the shogunate repeatedly banned preaching, and even played this fancy stuff in private.

   Anyway, if you study for another two or three months, you can go to Europe by boat. You can also learn on the boat. The best one, Sheng Haizhou, has been able to communicate freely with foreigners in English, so he can take them with him.

In the end, the director of the Dutch business curator Blokhov heard that there was a special line from the shogunate, so he brought back the goods ordered by Chuemon a few years ago, with a letter from Blokhov. .
