v8 Chapter 35: Ezo Attendant newly appointed

The reign of Isaiah has begun, and it is natural to announce the reward for Chuemon. It was the same as before when I ventilated privately, except that there was a slight gap in the details.

To imitate the example of the imperial sankei, from the shogunate’s celestial shogunate, a salary of one hundred thousand stone was given to Chuemon Gate. No separate house is set up. Tokugawa is allowed to be used in the Miao character, and Tokugawa Sanyekui can also be used for the family pattern. . There is a suspense left, and the world has speculated that perhaps this is to make it easier for Tademon to inherit a certain big feudal clan in the future.

In addition, after the governance of Tokugawa Isaiah became stable, when Shimaru was a little older, Shimaru would be adopted, and Shimaru was the heir of the shogunate.

Not for anything else, just because this is the only "good grandson" of Tokugawa Ieki!

As long as this good sage is there, to be honest, Chungemon is safe. Of course, it would be safer if Chuemon's house could regenerate ten or twenty of him.

Don't say too much, or straightforwardness. In the hearts of Tokugawa Ikei and Tokugawa Iazaki, it is possible that Chuemon is a fertility machine in their hearts.

Whether you can protect the shogunate, or rectify the gains and losses of the generals, and assist the shogunate in reforms, is of secondary importance. Most of them are the grandsons of the Tokugawa family, that is the most serious thing. The more births, the happier Tokugawa Ikeki and Tokugawa Ikeki. Tokugawa Ikeki wished that Chuemon wouldn't do anything, and only had children at home.

In short, even if things are settled like this, the rest is for the shogunate to come forward and first serve for Chuemon Gate from the four upper servants and Hyuga Mamoru, which is regarded as placing the official route to the top of the Matsudaira clan. Then start with this official route, and increase according to age and seniority. A positive three-position problem will not be too big.

Chuemon Gate may be called the Ezo Servants' Hall for the time being...

Regarding the issue of position, surely he could no longer serve as an imperial imperial foreign country. The shogunate set up a foreign official post, which was handed over to Chungemon. As for the Hokkaido Development Industry Co., Ltd. and Tokugawa Kogyo Co., Ltd. that Chuemon wants, they are still in the plan for the time being, and the money and talents are not in place. Let's be the president later.

The shogunate also set up an infantry post, which is also called the passer-by team, which is still held by Qixuan Matsudaira. Continue to manage the affairs of the entire training team, and Egawa Hideryu served as the infantry practice and strength, and Chungemon served as the infantry practice and merger.

The president of Edo University continued to be served by Chuemon, and began to send the second batch of students to the UK.

This time the British student group is really huge. There are actually a full 125 people. In addition to the 48 people from the shogunate, there are 12 people from the Fukui domain, 10 people from the Hagi domain, and 10 people from the Kagoshima domain. The six Tosa clan, ten Saga clan, etc., such as Akashi, Nakatsu, Owari, Kishu, Mito, Hikone, etc., in addition to occupying the two shogunate official positions, they also added their own Two or three people were sent.

Because most people have already studied English at Edo University, they are considered to have completed their preparatory courses, so there is no need to rush to Nagasaki. Various procedures for entering the United Kingdom have also been communicated with the British side in advance so that the British side can arrange it.

Among the foreign students, the most go to learn infantry, and a lot of them go to learn machinery manufacturing and mining, and there are few others. This time the shogunate chose someone to learn shipbuilding, and the master brother Sheng Haizhou took it with him, hoping to go a good way.

The Netherlands was also very positive in person, and even gave a proposal. A shogunate heard it inexplicably, but Chuemon felt that it could give it a try.

Set up a bank agency in Nagasaki!

So many students from the shogunate went abroad because of the inconvenient transportation. It is not like in later generations that a plane can fly from Japan to Britain in one day. Now I take a steamer, and the Suez Canal has not yet opened. It will take about three months to arrive after taking the time to stop along the way.

Once and again, half a year may not be able to finish. In this case, the shogunate asked the students to bring tens of thousands of taels of gold to the UK at once, and then use the gold to exchange for British pounds in London.

Not only is the journey very dangerous, but it is also very troublesome to carry such a large amount of cash. You have to arrange a few students specially to carry the gold on your back for 24 hours, and stay at every step.

Rather than being so troublesome, it is better to deposit all the money in the Bank of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. This bank will merge to form ABN AMRO in the future and become a huge financial institution with assets of more than one trillion euros.

As early as 1826, the Bank of Amsterdam established a branch in Jakarta, Indonesia, to carry out financial exchange services between Asia and Europe. Historically, in 1858, it was convenient for Singapore and Nagasaki, Japan to set up agencies and further develop into large branches.

With a superhuman vision, the future ABN AMRO has become the world's first European bank to carry out financial services in Asia, taking the lead.

Today, the shogunate is more enlightened than in history, and the Netherlands has a keen sense of business. Therefore, I did not hesitate to propose to the shogunate that an agency can be set up in Nagasaki to help deal with the financial exchange needs of the shogunate’s international student groups.

The shogunate only needs to hand over the cash to the Bank of Amsterdam in Nagasaki, so all students no longer need to bring money, and they can withdraw pounds directly at the Bank of Amsterdam branch in London.

Of course, the Bank of Amsterdam needs to charge a small fee for the exchange of British pounds. Anyway, if you go to London, you will also have to charge a fee. To whom is not to be given. Isn't it safer to give to the Netherlands, a trading partner of more than two hundred years?

Besides, UU reading www.uukanshu.com students are poor and some are rich. For a family like Sakamoto Ryoma with a family property of hundreds of thousands or even a million, his son is studying in the UK, and he is not paying all the money, so he directly brings thousands of taels of gold with him, and he is in a foreign country. It is very unsafe.

After getting an account, as long as the family deposits money in the bank in Nagasaki, Sakamoto Ryoma will be able to withdraw money in London in a short time. How convenient is it?

The reason is this. It is the same as the shogunate. If a wealthy merchant deposits money in Osaka, he can come to Edo to withdraw money with a bill, which is easy to understand.

So is it allowed or not?

Allow it! Why not allow it!

Setting up a bank agency in Nagasaki does not allow the establishment of the shogunate of a commercial institution on Dejima, Nagasaki. There is no need to set this matter up to the level of Tokugawa Iamatsu. As a foreign country, Chungemon directly agreed.

With the credit of the Bank of Amsterdam for hundreds of years, what can't be trusted.
