They are all old-style imperialists, and who doesn't know what shape of puff you want to pull. Erkin and Harris immediately knew what kind of bad water Rosh this kid is all about.

Co-authoring you to lend money to the shogunate, not only can the borrowed money be recovered, but also the information terrain of the entire city of Edo can be thoroughly explored. Didn’t you know the details of the Shinagawa’s fortresses, as well as the Tsukuba and Susaki fortresses in the end?

After all, the Shinagawa forts were seriously damaged this time, and they must be maintained and repaired. When the time comes to complete the Edo reconstruction plan, then you French engineers climb up the fort and take a look. It seems that it is quite reasonable.

"Your Majesty, the emperor of our country, is very willing to establish a deep friendship with you." Roche looked at Tokugawa Jiading with a pensive look, smiling.

To put it bluntly, it is to expand the influence of France in Japan. This trick they used in Annan is really easy. Step by step, Annan was completely colonized. Now King Annan has become the de facto puppet of France, and it can even be said that France is abolished.

It is said that when he was young, the man surnamed Hu saw that King Annan was driven out of the palace by the French, and he knelt down to the king on the side of the street and shed tears. Thus strengthened his determination to resist French colonial rule and establish an independent country.

The thing of aggression can be armed aggression, economic aggression, or even cultural aggression. All kinds of situations will work. As long as the influence of a country is large enough and its strength is strong enough, it is easy to subvert the regime of a small country.

"Say hello to him for me." Tokugawa's family just nodded, whether it is allowed or not, his mind hasn't turned your head yet.

Chungemon looked at everyone, and everyone looked towards Chungemon. Everyone wanted to borrow this money, but it's hard to say whether this Frenchman would be involved in reconstruction or not.

"Please wait..." Chungemon said apologetic, and several people sat in front of Tokugawa's family and grumbled.

"The French is so kind, what does he do?" Songping Qixuan's head is still wrapped in medicine, and his words may be nerve-wounding, and his face is a bit hideous.

"I'm afraid it's to know the geographic location of the entire city of Edo." Chuemon said his guess.

"Edo fires every year, what can he do if he knows? This is the case this year, and it will be the same next year." Ii Naobi couldn't figure out what the French were thinking.

They should be clear about the situation in Edo. A city that is entirely wooden is a large area when it burns. You built it this year, and there will be another fire in Edo next year. The location of this street or something will immediately mess up.

It was the same as Chuemon Gate back then. He clearly knew that his home address was somewhere on the Nishijujo Koru, but the thing was burnt down after a fire passed. It took a long time to find the head.

"I heard that the French used plaster and bricks, or even steel, to build houses, so I'm not afraid of fires." Chuemon felt that this might also be a French misunderstanding?

"Then let him come, but the city is not allowed to enter or leave." Ii Naobi looked at Tokugawa Iamatsu.

Tokugawa Kasada had basically turned the corner this time, and had his own ideas. He listened to the statements made by several ministers of the Mu Pavilion, and combined his own considerations.

"It's okay to allow him."

Since everyone has no objection, even Tokugawa Isaiah also agreed, this matter is easily agreed. Chuemon turned and looked at the French minister, Count Roche.

"Edo Castle was seriously damaged this time, and there are hundreds of thousands of victims in need of assistance. One million is not enough to spend."

"Then two million pounds!" Earl Roche's authority is obviously not small. As the envoy of usury imperialist France, granting loans to other countries is also an important diplomatic task.

"Since your country's finances are difficult to support, the British Empire can also provide your government with an emergency loan of one million!" Erkin attaches great importance to the dog he has won in the Far East and refuses to let the French specialize in beauty. .

Harris opened his mouth and didn't dare to pick up the stubbornly. Although the United States has begun to attach importance to its deployment in the Pacific, the increasingly intensified North-South contradictions in the country have also made Harris afraid to make any big promises. If the American Civil War broke out, it would not be impossible for the shogunate to directly repay the loan for this loan.

"The shogunate is very grateful for this!" Ii Naobi smiled when he heard the three million.

The contract was signed, and Britain and France will send a team of architectural planners to quickly participate in the reconstruction and repair plan of Edo Castle. Anyway, there are still many victims in Edo, and they have enough labor. It will take at least a month to clean up the ruins. In winter, it is impossible to carry out large-scale reconstruction, which just gives a relatively sufficient planning and design time.

The money arrived quickly. Hundreds of thousands of people at the shogunate are waiting to be fed. If you get the money late, the people will starve to death if they don’t get the money.

When the money was transferred to the Yokohama Customs and Taxation Department and began to settle accounts with Naraya and other shogunate merchants, Kawaji Shengmo, who served as the manager, carefully introduced the layout of the castle town of Edo with them.

Except for Kaihon Castle, which is Edo Castle, surrounding Edo Castle must be the residences of the princes of the world. According to factors such as the distance between relatives, the size of the territory, the prestige, etc., they are arranged under the Edo Castle.

Feudal country, UU reading www.uukanshu. The closer the com is to the feudal power center, the more favored and reused. Therefore, the Daimyo Shiki is broken, and the location will not be changed, at least the location cannot be changed on a large scale. You, French designers, British engineers, come here just as blind and useless.

Then, on the outskirts of these daimyos, there is the "Samurai Yashiki", which is the residence of the Tokugawa Shogun's Kimoto Shimanki. Followed by Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tokugawa Hidetaka, they had their heads tied to their belts and played their lives, so General Tokugawa would pay them salaries, allocate housing, and help them openly repay them when necessary.

At present, there are still 20,000 families in Qimoto's royal family. In general, there are at least two to three million people. Therefore, most of the royal family can only live tightly in long houses, and can't afford any big houses.

Some of the remaining land belonged to temples, and some belonged to town names and local people, and the property rights were extremely fragmented. At best, the shogunate could only coordinate in the middle, and for the time being did not dare to forcibly requisition land.

After all, the people who have been affected by the disaster are gunpowder kegs. If the shogunate dared to do too much, they would definitely dare to make a fuss. Hundreds of thousands of people would make a splash, and the scene would be totally unimaginable, and it would definitely shake the rule of the shogunate greatly.

Therefore, the Edo Castle handed over to foreign designers is a standard mess.
