Edo Traveler

v8 Chapter 31: Not required for Yamagata 1 Bridge

When the problem exited, both Tokugawa family’s nurse Utabashi and Ooka Tadashi swiftly got up, and they ran away before Chuemon did not respond. Seeing them running away, Alan walked out with Shiwan, very obedient.

"What do you think?"

Every word that the Tokugawa family spit out seemed to have magical powers. Originally, it was because of slurred speech that he stopped every word, but now it brought a certain incredible feeling.

"Guest brother..." Chuemon originally thought that there might be some temptations, but he didn't expect Tokugawa's question to be so "sharp" and so straightforward.

"But it doesn't matter." The Tokugawa family smiled. He never smiled at strangers while waiting.

"Nowadays, the government is scarce, and my minister thinks it is not appropriate to establish a big domain." Zhongyou Weimen sorted out the language a little, and said slowly.

"So you want one hundred thousand stones for a bridge?"

I don't want the shogunate to cut 250,000 shitians and lead them to set up a new big feudal clan. There are only two roads left. Now I find a vassal vassal kingdom without heirs to inherit, or I can directly receive the one hundred thousand shi of the Ichihashi family's salary.

"Neither, nor!" Chuemon stood up and approached Tokugawa Isada, and sat down until he started.

"The minister believes that dividing the heavenly leader or drawing the shogunate's salary will affect the state. Now the four directions are difficult to support, and there are many shortcomings. We should also try to save money and set up sources of income."

"The world has been developed extremely well. How to open source?" The Tokugawa family couldn't figure it out for a while.

Neither Yamagata two hundred thousand and fifty thousand, nor one bridge of one hundred thousand, but suggest that the shogunate needs to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Is it time to discuss this? Is it useful for the two of them to discuss and discuss?

"In the early years, the minister and Hou Tokushima exiled the executed prisoners to explore Ezo. In the past, Gonglinzang once made complete maps of Ezo and Huatai. There are several appearances in the picture, which look like Jinshan. Now the veins have been found. , Nissan produces hundreds of taels of gold (he refers only to gold here, one tael is only seven to eleven grams), and there are several silvers."

"Is there such a thing?" Although the Tokugawa family has been in the deep palace for a long time, he also knows that the finances of the shogunate have almost collapsed, and they are completely eating food.

Even Mizuno Tadakuni, who passed away with full praise from the world, when he had no money, he either went to copy the house of the rich merchant or blackmailed the princes. He even issued Tianbao as a hundred coins and recast Jin Xiaowan. Anyway, it is to make money. It is no longer a face to make money.

The recent generations of the shogunate, including Tokugawa Ikeki, Tokugawa Ikei, and the Tokugawa Ikei in front of them, actually knew that the shogunate had no money, so Tokugawa Ikeki appointed Matsuhira Matsuba, and Tokugawa Ikeki was appointed to the water. Zhongbang tried to reorganize their finances and restore the economic foundation of the shogunate.

There is one thing to say that it is possible to have such a consciousness and really carry out reforms. Although most of the reforms failed and did not make the shogunate’s finances improve, the shoguns at the end of the shogunate are not pure in this regard. The faint king.

"That's the case! I think that now we should continue to exile criminals to Ezo, enrich the Jinshan, and open up the mines. Then use the Jinshan as the foundation, develop the industry, and cheer for the country." Chungemon began to give the Tokugawa family Make a picture pie.

We actually had this idea before, but the idea at the time was to rely on the huge wealth of Hongzhiwu Jinshan with an annual output of one and a half tons of gold and several tons of silver to replenish blood for the shogunate, and finally let the shogunate have extra money to consolidate the army. Jingwu. The internal repair of troops, the external defense against powerful enemies, as far as possible to delay the decline and fall of the shogunate.

Now it goes even further. Chuemon's identity is different, and the authority he can actually hold is also different. Then this plan can be expanded to carry out more detailed operations.

Supported by a huge source of cash, Chuemon can first develop and nurture the silk reeling industry. After the expansion of the silk reeling industry is completed, exports have greatly increased, and the corresponding income has been obtained. These profits are then invested in military-related industries such as iron ore, coal, chemicals, metals, and shipbuilding.

As soon as possible, set up the Nagasaki Ironworks in the western region of the Shogunate, and use the iron ore produced in the western countries and the coal on the outer islands of Saga Nagasaki that is not inferior to Welsh white coal to increase domestic steel production.

In addition, in Yokohama, the coastal area along the Uraga to Edo line, steel mills, shipyards, and naval military schools were set up to enrich the shogunate’s shortcomings in the navy and speed up the construction of the shogunate’s navy.

At the same time, the most important thing is that if you have money, you must select overseas students and send them to Europe and the United States, whether you study mines or machinery. As long as there are thousands of talented people who have returned from studying abroad, there will be enough talent reserves in the future, whether it is for school or industry.

The blueprint is huge, and it will take at least ten or twenty years to achieve something!

"Isn't it right!" After Chuemon's cake was drawn, and he felt very good about himself, the Tokugawa family actually shook his head again and again after hearing this, saying that he couldn't do it.

"What's wrong?" It shouldn't be. Chuemon was conceived for the continuation of the shogunate.

There is only good for the shogunate, no harm. At most, there are more students who are sent abroad, and maybe they have cultivated a few people with ideas of freedom and equality in their minds, and come back to create opposition to the shogunate. But this is not something in the future, just wait for it to happen and then think about it.

"As far as you are concerned, it's just hard work, and there is no reward. It's not appropriate," Tokugawa Kasada continued.

I see!

"The younger brother is willing to take the monopoly rights and combine the wealthy merchants ~lightnovelpub.net~ to establish a domestically produced industrial company and become the president by himself. The wealth gained by that time will be no less than a thousand dollars and a family business of 100,000 stones and 200,000 stones. But you."

Times have changed, and you can dig out a few dollars from the ground. Moreover, according to the situation of the shogunate, even if you give 250,000 shi to Chuemon Yamagata, it does not mean that all the territories near Yamagata are closed to Chuemon, but Yamagata gives 50,000 shi, and then Kanto three or five. Ten thousand, another fifty thousand for the East China Sea, fifty thousand for the Guinei region, and fifty thousand for the West region.

He couldn't show his fists in the territory at all, and it might even be inseparable from Edo, so he could only send his retainers to remote control the territory. As for the development of industry and trade, it is impossible to talk about.

So instead of asking for a territory of one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, it is better to ask the shogunate for the right to monopolize the industry. Let’s develop a trust before discussing it. Don’t worry about the problems of the chaebol.

There is no bullshit. Countries that can only produce silk and rice are still arguing about the development of sound industries and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises. That is a brain disease.

"So..."
