The interests of the Nirayama Iron Works were too great, and as a result, they were targeted in this shogunate reform. The excuse is that the next "trial decree" is Article 4, "Reorganization of armaments".

This article is even more ruthless, and the change of the Institute of Western Studies only cuts off the source of talents after Mr. Tan'an, and the "rectification of armaments" is to directly seize power and rob people - in the name of reorganizing armaments, the shogunate divided the Nirayama Iron Works, which is now under the jurisdiction of Egawa, into three.

Nirayama Iron Works has one small blast furnace and two reverberatory furnaces, and although it cannot produce at full capacity due to raw material problems, it produces more than 270,000 guan (10,000 tons) of iron a year.

Until then, iron production was produced in private workshops, so the shogunate did not count the production of pig iron, but there was no doubt that Fuso lacked iron, and the knife was so valuable that it should be regarded as a family heirloom, and the peasants used a lot of agricultural tools with iron sheets and even all wooden tools.

Therefore, after the great success of Nirayama ironmaking, the shogunate gained great benefits. But at the same time, the shogunate also paid a lot of energy and price for Nirayama ironmaking.

The lack of iron in Fuso is not only due to backward technology, but also the lack of iron ore.

Although it was profitable to sell iron sand to the shogunate, mining took up a lot of manpower from each domain, and dangers occurred from time to time. The shogunate had a big business and a lot of money, so they had to compensate with pig iron, but this was a bad thing, and these feudal clans felt that the ore they had worked so hard to dig out was only exchanged for a small amount of pig iron, and it was obvious that the shogunate had made a lot of money, so they were unbalanced, and they were all holding back their energy to prepare for building their own ironworks.

Iron and salt, like salt, are related to the people's livelihood, and the shogunate is not good at blocking it on the surface, so it has to use all kinds of off-the-plate tactics to appease, what kind of service, commendation, relaxation and suppression, in short, it paid a great price.

Moreover, for the sake of the Nirayama Iron Smelter, the shogunate raised a large number of thousand stone ships for transportation, a thousand stone ships transported 130 tons of iron ore, and a pound of iron ore could not produce a pound of pig iron - impurities are not counted, plus a large number of raw materials such as coal transportation, early investment and a large amount of manpower raising, the shogunate this time is indeed a bloody investment.

But at such a big price, it was the Egawa family who benefited - it was not that the shogunate did not benefit, the pig iron produced by the ironmaking was distributed by the shogunate in a unified manner, but as the operator, Mr. Egawa Tanan had a great right to speak.

Let's take the raw materials as an example, Jiang Chuan said no, that ship of goods didn't even need to get off the ship, so he could only pull it back - if he wanted to fall into the sea, he would not let Jiushan do it. Moreover, the distribution of pig iron is also a big problem, and the surveyor determines the share, but in case of catching up with several companies to pick up the goods at the same time, it is not up to Jiang Chuan to decide which one to give first.

In addition, this pig iron is also good and bad, and as for the good or bad, it is not up to Jiang Chuan himself to say.

Therefore, Mr. Tanan relied on the ironworks to raise his eyebrows, and the shogunate was all blushing.

Mr. Tanan also knew that it was not appropriate to hold such a large profit in his own hands, so he proposed to the shogunate last year to establish a new ironworks in the villages of Yokohama or Kurihama, and the surveyors agreed to the plan to establish a Yokohama ironworks.

In order to show his support and show selflessness, Jiang Chuan did not let his son Yingmin participate, and despite the opposition of the people around him, he instead recommended Katsuyibang to be in charge of this matter - Katsuyoshibang is the head of the Niriyama Iron Smelting Institute, proficient in iron smelting, and is the general that Mr. Tanan relies on.

Article 4 of the "Trial Decree" was "Reorganization of Armaments", and Mr. Tanan originally thought that this article was mainly for the production and storage of weapons, and those rotten knives and guns and rotten bows and arrows, iron cannons, large barrels and armor should be replaced quickly, but he did not expect that in addition to these, the shogunate would build a third iron-making plant, located in the village of Kurihama - the shogunate renamed Kusahama this time as Yokosuka.

It was built, but the shogunate asked Kawaji Shomo to be responsible for the preparation of these two new ironworks, and Egawa returned it

Can't object, the dumb eats Coptis chinensis and has a hard time saying - because Kawaro has a good relationship with him, and at the same time, his subordinate Katsuyoshibang has also been appointed as the head of the new ironworks, and Youngmin, the son of the Egawa family, has become the new head of the Nirayama Ironworks.

Kawaji Shengmo was the newly promoted Kanding Governor and Haiphong in this reform, but Kawaji, who was familiar with Lanxue before, was friendly with Mr. Tanan, and although the Yokohama Ironworks had not yet started, Katsuyoshikuni was also officially appointed as the head of the Yokohama Ironworks this time - Katsuyoshikuni was not only a subordinate of Mr. Tanan, but also a disciple of Mr. Tanan's disciple Sakuma Zozan, so it was considered to have given Egawa a lot of face.

At the same time, the shogunate gave the new "head tori" of Nirayama iron smelting to Egawa's son Hidetoshi.

No one inside and outside here can not help but say that the Jiangchuan family took advantage.

Poor Mr. Tanan took face and lost his lizi, and he was going to let the Yokohama Ironworks go out when it was built, but before he could give in, the shogunate took it away, and he was also preparing to build a new ironmaking plant - Egawa had no opinion on the new ironworks, but there were not enough people, and there were not many people who knew Lanxue but were proficient in ironmaking, and the Yokohama Ironworks Institute had drawn a lot of backbones from Nirayama in the preparatory stage, and when the construction started, a group of people would be drawn to leave.

In addition, the new iron-making plant in the back will also draw people, and it will not be possible to start work in Nirayama - although the Yokosuka iron-making station is only beginning to prepare, it must also involve elite soldiers and strong generals, and the entire shogunate will have an iron-making station that has started, where else can it be drawn if it does not draw people from Nirayama?

However, the supply of raw materials for the Nirayama Ironworks was barely enough, and in order to cope with the start of the Yokohama Ironworks, the feudal domains were already required to increase their mining efforts, and if the construction of another ironworks would be even more insufficient, the raw materials would be insufficient and the loss of personnel would greatly reduce the prospects of the Nirayama Ironworks under the control of Mr. Tanan.

Probably considering that Mr. Tanan is busy, Article 5 of the next "Trial Decree" will continue to relieve pressure on Egawa.

Mr. Tan'an is now holding three positions, acting official of Jiushan, Kanding Yinwei and Haiphong, he is too busy, and he can only hand over the governance of Jiushan to his son Yingmin and his retainers; And on the side of the Kanding Yinwei Servant, there is no big deal to do, and there are only two ironworks that are really concerned, and they are all entrusted to Katsu Yoshibang; As for Haiphong hanging, he is also a consultant, usually only giving some opinions and suggestions, and the real job is to keep an eye on the construction of Odaiba.

Odaiba was originally divided into two parts, Shinagawa and Uraga Waterways, and Shinagawa Odaiba was almost completed, but construction on both sides of the Uraga Waterway had just begun - according to the latest adjustments, the number of Odaiba on both sides of the Uraga Waterway had increased from six to 24, and roads and military stations had to be rebuilt.

Article 5 of the "Trial Decree" is "recruiting talents", which means promoting more capable people.

The old middle school really did what they said, and promoted many people at once, especially Haiphong hanging, which increased by eight at once, and the leader was the old lord of Mito, Qi Zhao, and then included Tsutsui, Kawaji, Mizuno, Hori, Nagai, Iwase, and Okubo.

Plus Jiangchuan, a total of nine coastal defenses, before Jiangchuan when the coastal defense hung had no real power, these seven new coastal defense hangers now have nothing to do like Jiangchuan, so they are all eyeing the construction of Odaiba on both sides of the Uraga Waterway - Odaiba is part of Haiphong, Mr. Tan'an was not very satisfied with the new plan, so he simply handed it over to these eight people in charge, and they all liked it.

The above are all the five contents of the "Trial Decree", "building coastal defense and reforming the military system", "attaching importance to wind theory", "rectifying discipline and reshaping morality", "rectifying armaments" and "recruiting talents".

But Mr. Tanan was furious when he heard this, and scolded Xiao Li eloquently, "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, how can you have such a dissatisfied thought?"

Okubo on one side has no way to find out what's going on

,According to the previous complaint of Oguri,He felt that Oguri was right.,So his expression showed a hint of disapproval.,As a result, Mr. Tan'an happened to be in the eyes.,So the old gentleman lent Okubo to explain and explain Oguri.。

Mr. Tanan said to Okubo that you should not patronize yourself in this matter, and the shogunate did this with great significance.

First of all, the Egawa family and Oguri Tadashun together are not worthy of the shogunate's special assessment meeting.

A surveying and haiphong hanging, and a royal eye pay, is it worth being the head of the three royal families, the old man, the big eye payment and a large number of important ministers to deal with it? It's impossible to think about.

So, this time it was accidentally injured.

You see, many of these five laws and regulations are about preparing for the visit of rice boats the following year, and they are all related to coastal defense and foreign affairs, so I can't get around it as a coastal defense hanger and Oguri as a former Nagasaki Mefuke.

As for the ironworks, they are indeed part of the armament, and besides, Yingmin and Katsuyoshibang have both served as the head takers, so it can't be that the leaders of the three ironworks are all from the old man's disciples.

As for Uraga Odaiba, the new plan itself was proposed by Lord Nayan of Mito Gonchu, so what's wrong with people being concerned?

As for the newly appointed eight coastal defense hangers, such a major event involving the safety of the shogunate as the visit of the rice boat, a few more people are the old ones who are planning to plan the country, and the old people are doing the right thing! The only thing that can be blamed is that you Oguri Tadashun should also be added, I will say this, you have made a lot of contributions in Nagasaki and are familiar with overseas, it is a pity not to do coastal defense.

Moreover, this time it is not just a new coastal defense hanging, Ometsu has newly appointed Tsutsui Masano, and the Kanding Commission has changed three, Kawaji Shengmo, Matsudaira Konnao and Mizuno Tadatoku, Mimetsu has increased by four, Hori Toshiki, Nagai Naoshi, Iwase Tadashi, and Okubo Tadahiro, so this time it is the shogunate that is ready to deal with the enemy, and it has little to do with you and me.

And these people have always been promising people, take Kawaji as an example, shrewd and capable and well-read, successively served as Kanjo Ginmi, Sado Commission, Nara Commission, and Osaka Town Commissioner, and in terms of qualifications, they are much better than you and me.

With so many elite soldiers and fierce generals participating in coastal defense, I can't be happy, and I am willing to complain.

As for the head of Lin University to take over the Institute of Foreign Studies, this is also expected, if the Confucian scholars around Gongfang don't take the opportunity to jump out, it would be strange, and the old middle school is not confused, didn't they appoint Okubo Tadahiro as the head of the university under the head of the university? Moreover, the Fan Book and the Imperial Bureau are not from Jiang Chuan's family, doesn't the old man still have the Rope Martial Arts Pavilion, and the Lan scholars have!

As he spoke, Mr. Tanan faced Oguri Tadashun, and Okubo didn't dare to squeak, and if he could hear such a secret of the shogunate, it would be smoke from the ancestral tomb.

Mr. Tanan continued to persuade Oguri, "Now that the Ru family has two important ministers, the head of the family is a distant country, you are young and you are the most favored by the shogunate, and the future of the Oguri family is limitless, I think your achievements will not be lost to your ancestors in the future" - Oguri Tadashun's father Advice is an adopted son, and Advice's biological father is Nakagawa Tadahide, who served as the Kanding Commissioner.

Oguri was red-faced and ashamed by what Egawa said, and Mr. Tanan turned his head and said something to Okubo:

"Yu Pingsheng has 3,000 disciples, and there are only two protégés, and one of them is Zhixiu. You are a sibling of Zhixiu, and you are a relative of the Hori family, and today's heartfelt words must be told to Zhixiu without a word. ”

Mr. Tanan let Okubo listen to so many secrets, just to let him bring a few words to Naohide, as a teacher, his feelings for Naohide are much deeper than Naohide's feelings for him, Mr. Tanan feels that Oguri is angry just to complain a few words, and even confront the nobles in person, that's it, and Naohide, this guy, dares to go overseas, so he must tell a few more words - one is to let Naohide not worry about his mentors, and the other is to take the opportunity to let Naohide see the point, don't hold a grudge against the shogunate and the old middle school because he was sent to the Northland.
