Chapter 31 The foundation is gradually stable

Although Naoxiu usually preaches in the township that this is a change that has not been seen in a thousand years, but the white lord is now limited by his strength, and Naohide really doesn't dare to openly say "Foreigners can have it, we can also have it" - empty words will be despised by others.

This was the first time that Naohide had publicly expressed his thoughts on governance in front of people, and the results were quite good, because Saga was in the forefront of reform, and Motoshima and Sugitani were de facto stormtroopers, so they were deeply touched and resonated.

There is still an ideal, but if it is realized.

Since everyone agrees that it is difficult to build, it needs to be carefully planned: how should it be made? Steam engines and machine tools could be purchased from the Shogunate, while cast iron and steel Saga were barely able to produce their own, and copper was relatively wealthy in Fuso at this time - because there was no industrialization, copper was still less useful, and as for the compounds for fire caps, Naohide suggested buying or making them homemade.

In 1800, Edward the English? Howard disclosed the production method and nature of the mercury in the detonation, and the preparation method is not difficult, which is recorded in Wei Yuan's "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom", but the cost is higher.

At this time, the Fuso chemical industry was poor and white, and Naohide suggested that Saga should find a way to buy it in the early stage.

And it is not only mercury salt, but also to consider buying or making foreign nitrate.

In 1830, Solia of France and Cammelo of the Flare innovated matches, using a mixture of yellow phosphorus, sulfur and potassium chlorate to make modern matches.

Naohide only colluded with Saga and Satsuma because these two companies, like Naohide, had a solid secret trade channel and had the means to secretly purchase machinery and materials from overseas.

Saga was the Nagasaki Imperial Domain, and many of the ports around Nagasaki were the domain of the Saga Domain, and the Rankoku Merchant House and Saga had been trading privately for a long time.

And the Satsuma clan was even more powerful, Satsuma was commissioned by the shogunate to lead Naha, and Naha was forced to open the port in 1844 by French warships, and then many Western merchant ships used this place as a relay station on the route, and Satsuma's secret trade was about to become Ming trade.

In addition, in order to facilitate Saga, Naohide also revealed to Motoshima and Sugitani that the simple machine tool shogunate had been successfully copied, and the steam engine was estimated to be soon, and Saga could also ask the shogunate for help.

Naohide also joked with them, whether to compare or not, for the imitation breech gun, Niriyama, Saga, and the white lord to see who can succeed first, and Motojima and Sugiya smiled at this - obviously not optimistic about the white lord who was still very weak at this time.

In the end, Naohide happily gave Saga two breech guns and a little compound for them to go back and study carefully. And Saga reciprocated by showing the documents of the feudal office, so that the seven windmill students officially became the retainers of the Hori family.

As for trade, Saga has famous products such as charcoal, steel, and ceramics, and Shiraka has seal skins and seafood that the money house helps collect.

After some hard work, the Saga people returned in late October, but poor Naohide couldn't be idle, and he had to deal with other things.

Compared to Saga, Satsuma's progress is much slower, the secret technique of raising children is good, and the learning progress of ironmaking and imitation breech guns is much slower, Naohide heard that Saigo has yelled with Satsuma many times, "Sincerely, the gold and stone are open", but the difference in foundation is not something that can be made up for in a short time, and it is useless to roar.

In this regard, Naohide and Okubo have repeatedly persuaded Saigo, "If it really doesn't work, practice it first, and learn by doing", which means that you should get out of here quickly, but Saigo resolutely disagreed.

After Saga left, Naohide couldn't bear it anymore, hinting that "don't talk about anything else, the secret technique of parenting must be sent back as soon as possible", Saigo was reluctant to take people away, but when he came, he was in high spirits, and when he left, he couldn't help but look a little bitter.

Although the learning of the craft did not go well, the business transaction between the two companies was very successful, and Satsuma exchanged sugar, shochu, and Satsuma taro for seal skins and seafood from the money house, and everyone was happy.

More importantly, the 3,000 small fines provided by Satsuma for the trading process supplemented the circulation of the office and stabilized the credit of the banknotes.

After the establishment of the future Restoration government, the collusion between the white lord and the two feudal lords was finally revealed, which caused a lot of civil turmoil at the time, and there were many people who scolded the white lord for eating inside and outside and the ambition of Satsuma and Saga wolf, but even if they were opponents, they must admit that the three families and the shogunate started the prelude to Fuso's modern industry almost at the same time - of course, there were some original shogunate samurai who disagreed with this, insisting that the success of the shogunate's Nirayama ironmaking in 1850 was the prelude to the real industrial construction.

But at this time, the three families did not expect that the future would have a major impact, they just had a premonition of the coming tide of the times, and they trembled and prepared in advance for the arrival of the storm.

While Naohide was doing his best to deal with Satsuma and Saga, Okubo and others were not idle, and the merchant ships of Kinokuniya and Juya came again, bringing more immigrants and goods.

It turned out that after the big hunt in early August, the merchant ships of Kinokuniya and Jugeya rushed back to Edo, and the thousands of seal skins they brought back caused a huge shock.

Ki Kuniya's Rihachi is already a well-known wealthy businessman, and he is usually moody, but he was also surprised when he heard the report from his subordinates.

Rihachi was assigned by the backer Oguri's family to help Naohide, and of course he also had the intention of currying favor with the Egawa family and the Hori family, but according to his original plan, the cost of support a year could not exceed 1,500 taels of gold - he was confident in Naohide, but he didn't think so, thinking that in the poor countryside, Naohide was just going to the white lord to gild gold.

This year's first trade with the white lord also completely verified his opinion, the white lord can't make ends meet at all, and Naohide, who has been high-spirited, also lowered his head, and was forced to give an IOU to the happy event heavy house, Cai Tanaya, although Naohide said that the goods of Ki Kuniya must be sold at a clear price in the white lord, but this Liba understands, is it not easy to find an excuse? Naoxiu has had everything for a few birthdays, and when the time comes, he will ask for a donation or something, and Kinokuniya must be the head of the apportionment.

But in line with the speculative idea of sending charcoal in the snow, Rihachi still sent a second caravan, but what he never expected was that this time a thousand seal skins were shipped back, and the price was half sold and half given away, as long as each piece of gold, considering that Kinokuniya's goods were indeed not requisitioned, then this is a lot of money without accompanying Ben, which is really strange.

Lihachi knows that the fishing and fur trade in the northern land is developed, but Naohide has just arrived, so he shouldn't be able to get the Matsumae family, and if he can maintain it, he can make a fortune, which is really a good means!

The subordinates who came back also "exaggerated", saying that the White Lord Office claimed that they had only gotten a few thousand seal skins, but at that time, we had also been to Seal Island, and there were seals everywhere, so I was afraid that we wouldn't get tens of thousands of seals at a time!

Rihachi was suspicious of this, and hurriedly gave En in Nagasaki

Lord Oguri Tadashun sent a letter, and at the same time contacted the happy event of the house of Kanta, first, the fur business everyone must advance and retreat together, and the other is that since there is no loss of money, the scale of the trade of the white lord trade must continue.

If Liba is a surprise harvest, then the Zaoya Group is overjoyed - the Hori family is the foundation of the Zaoya Group, so even if the foundation of the happy event is still weak, everyone still grits their teeth to support, but if they keep losing money and shouting, it is a matter of time before the Zaoya Group is dirty.

This time, a thousand seal skins arrived, and the clouds in the sky of the Zaowu Group were dispersed, and everyone was glad that they had a vision and did not press the wrong treasure. Therefore, there was no problem with Naohide's request to continue immigration, and when the autumn harvest was over, Edo was full of displaced people, and there were many people.

What's more, the filthy multi-headed bomb Saemon and the non-human car Zenzai and Matsuemon often came to the door to ask when the third group of immigrants would leave - the first two immigrants made a few hundred taels of intermediary materials (intermediary fees), and they heard from the water husband that when the immigrants arrived, they became samurai, and their lives were also guaranteed, if it weren't for the fact that these people had always lived a wealthy life, they would have been eager to go in person.

But this time, the shelves of the Zaoya group were up, the first two times were to ask for people, and now, it is mutually beneficial, so I told these three people, rest assured, your hard work will remain the same, and the lives of immigrants will continue to be guaranteed, but the identity of Ashigaru should not be delusional, the lack of people in front is a good opportunity, and the future will be the selection system.

It's okay to select.,I thought it was desperate to go to the North.,Since it's not desperate.,It's easy to say anything.,Playing the left emon and non-car zenshi、Matsuemon played a big game this time.,There are more than 50 people in front of it every time.,This time I got together more than 100 people.。

The wide of the happy event is too afraid of problems, and personally checked, Mr. Xuan Pu's medical hall students all said that they are indeed in good health and have no hidden diseases, he is not at ease, and he turned his head and said to the filthy multi-headed, non-human head, you can't get on the boat when suddenly Zhang Guan Li Dai engaged in the tanuki for the prince, the hard fee this time I can only pay half of the cash, and the other half will be paid after the white master confirms, and a few filthy long-headed, non-human heads also agreed - after all, it is a long-term deal, and now the news has spread, not only filthy and non-human, Even farmers who have left home to make a living have come to the door when they heard that they could become samurai, and the source of immigration is not a problem at all.

It's easy to get things done with money. Therefore, Kinokuniya and Zaoya Gumi organized five more merchant ships to go north, loaded with goods and immigrants. After arriving at the white master, the cargo ship loaded some furs, jerky, and whale oil and returned to the sea - the cargo ship was not full, and this cargo was specially left by Zhixiu, and the rest was taken away by the rice ship, and the price was high over there. Despite this, cargo ships are still profitable.

The ship went to stay with the immigrants, so while Naohide was exchanging crafts with Satsuma and Saga, Okubo was busy settling these people.

Some people have soil, and some people have wealth. Okubo as a town, usually in charge of merchants and Ainu, this has been depressed for a long time, this time I finally saw the civilians who belonged to him, very happy, disease checks, house distribution in an orderly manner, but after settling down, Okubo started to worry, the white lord only has some vegetable fields cultivated in the spring, these people can't always eat and not work, right?

In fact, before this, the plan was made, and after the third batch of immigrants came, the fan group focused on military affairs, and the original chores such as building houses, building roads, and farming were transferred to the new immigrants, but the problem was that someone had to be the leader, and most of the new immigrants were new, proficient in street art and killing chickens and ducks, and their skills were all off.

Okubo asked Naohide how to distribute these people, and Naohide asked Okubo to wait and talk about it, and then something big happened.
