v9 Chapter 76: Started production at Nagasaki Steel Wor

"The steel produced by Nagasaki Steel is already usable?"

  Ii Naobi looked at the translated version of the report sent by Eiffel, thoughtfully. Eiffel dismantled the old wooden Japanese bridge, redesigned and built an iron bridge, and then made a request to the shogunate to purchase yang iron.

   At that time, he saw the report, and he subconsciously prepared to approve it. After all, even the train tracks were purchased from the UK, and Japan’s own steel industry will only start to take off.

  Sukeroku suddenly opened his mouth and said that he sent Oguri Tadashi two or three years ago to Nagasaki to set up the Nagasaki Steel Works relying on the iron ore of Westland and the coal produced in Nagasaki. I have occasionally seen Oguri Tadashi’s report documents before, but Baoqi is now in production.

   Everyone knows that Oguri Tadashi is a person who works hard and doesn't fight for merit. So it is impossible for him to get any false good news and report it to the shogunate. This shogunate spent tens of thousands of taels of gold to build a steel mill, one year, two years, and three years, and there has been no movement. Fortunately, Tadaoemon was in charge of this item. If someone were to be replaced, he would have kicked Oguri Tadashi early.

  Since the Nagasaki Steel Works was mentioned, Tadaoemon first accepted Eiffel’s report and sent someone to Nagasaki to ask Oguri Tadatsu.

   Nagasaki Steel Works has been completed and put into production smoothly!

   "It has been approved by the legal person, can be used, and it is qualified." Tadaoemon is naturally happy. This Nagasaki Steel Works is one of the first modern heavy industry enterprises completed by the Shogunate, and it is very exemplary.

   "Excellent, the steel used in Nihonbashi can only be purchased from Nagasaki." Naobi Ii was pleased that he didn't need to buy gold to buy it from a foreign country, so he could save one and one.

   "I intend to transfer Uenosuke back to my home and do my best to handle the Yokohama Steel Works!" Chuemon thought of another place.

  The main industrial enterprises of the Shogunate in the future will definitely be established in the Kanto region, or more straightforwardly, in the vicinity of Edo Bay. In addition to making it easier to communicate with foreign countries around here, it was also related to the feudal monarch’s fear that these things would be set outside and that they would eventually become enemies.

   In the future, if someone reverts and seizes important industrial units set up by the shogunate outside the Kanto area, then the shogunate will lose blood.

   is still set up near Edo, not only is it more convenient for production and sales, but also can use the training team to protect these industrial units nearby.

   As for Yokohama, there is neither iron ore nor coal mine. This is very simple. All sea transportation is, anyway, foreign iron sand and coal are not much expensive. And now we will use foreign materials first, and we can switch to using domestic raw materials when the output of our own mines in the country increases in the future.

   Even if the final steel price is similar to that of buying foreign steel, some products are even more expensive, but everyone should know the importance of supporting domestic industries, right?

   First slowly cultivate your own kind of fire, and then you can finally become a raging fire in a prairie fire. If some protection is not carried out in the early stage of development, this will never develop.

   As long as there is this one, there will be two and three, and it will grow stronger day by day!

   "You are the one to deal with this matter. You don't need to ask me." As long as it concerns foreign countries and all matters of modernization, the shogunate always pushes on Chuemon, and Ii Naobi has always had this attitude.

   "There must be another official position." Chuemon said straightly.

   "What do you think of foreign countries pursuing mergers or enforcing mergers?" When it heard that this was the case, Ii Naobi was indeed not low.

   Everyone knows that Tadashi Oguri was a high-achieving student who was selected by Tademon Tademon that year and sent to study in the UK. The two were extremely committed, and in order to echo Tademon Tademon, Oguri even abandoned the post of leader of the large group. Since Chuemon asked for an official for him, several of them didn't want to betray Chuemon in this matter.

   As the main banner of two thousand five hundred stone, Oguri Tadashi himself has a very high family, and he can do most of the duties in the shogunate without any problems.

   "Let's pursue mergers in foreign countries." Matsudaira Qixuan spoke next to him.

"Can!"

   It should be right or left, Ii Naobi immediately drafted a transfer order and was promoted to Oguri Tadashi for foreign countries to pursue mergers, but in fact he was only responsible for the establishment of Yokohama Steel Works.

   As for the Nagasaki Steel Works, now that it has been completed and put into production, it is nothing more than to arrange to continue production and ensure its quality. Of course, Chuemon will also increase its investment in Nagasaki Steel Works to allow it to expand its scale.

   Soon, a transfer order reached Nagasaki. After seeing the order, Oguri Tadashi didn't hesitate, and immediately prepared to leave. He knew that the Nagasaki Steel Works was only his first step in saving the shogunate with industry, and the Yokohama Steel Works was obviously more important.

   So after some consideration, he handed over Nagasaki Steel to his colleague and subordinate. He was also one of Sakuma's students and was born in the Iyo Ozu clan.

   Takeda Naraki was originally a member of the Ozu clan, but because he was the second son of the family~lightnovelpub.net~, I had to study foreign studies and seek official career. Recommended by Oguri Tadashi, he became the royal family of the shogunate. This person still has some experience in ironmaking, and he is also very effective in doing things, so Oguri Tadashun recommended him to take over the management of Nagasaki Steel Works.

   After explaining all the matters, Oguri took a boat in Nagasaki and rushed to Edo. After all, compared to walking on two legs, it must be much faster to take a boat, and you can get from Nagasaki to Edo in one day.

   It's a pity that Shigeru Nara's fleet is still mainly active in the eastern country. It has not yet been fully constructed, and only has 16 steamships. The tonnage is not very large either, either purchased from foreign countries or built by the Yokohama Shipyard, which needs to be developed.

   Finally, Oguri took the British steamer, which is the scheduled flight between Shanghai and Yokohama. As a result, he got on the ship and learned that the special envoy sent by Tsarist Russia to Japan was also on the ship.

   The curious Oguri Tadashi inquired about it, and it was Putingya who tried to threaten the shogunate’s founding of the country by force, but was sprayed back by the shogunate.

  【Note 1】: This family is definitely not the Kai Takeda clan, but he claims to be the Takeda clan. In fact, in the Edo period, the Miao character used for a long time was Takeda.

   This person has several major deeds. For example, Goryokaku in Hokkaido was designed and built by this person. He was the first person to drive a Japanese steamship around Japan for a week. Inoue, who founded Kansai University, was his disciple. The most important thing is that he participated in the founding of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and he was also the principal of the Army Junior School.
