Volume 1 The Cry of the First Trial Chapter 49 The Wealth and the People Are Happy
The glass was successfully manufactured, and it was time to divide the pork, and the head of the Kodokan University and the head of the Medical Hall rushed to hear the news, and Naohide didn't want to be too involved with the Saga executives at this time, so he made an excuse and went back to Lan Xueliao with Mr. Ito Xuanpu to recuperate.
At the end of the month of Mizunotsuki (June), Shimamoto Yoshijun, Hamuro Heinoyun and others came to the door again, and the glass manufacturing had been successful, so the atmosphere of this gathering was very good, and the three parties praised each other, Hamuro Heinoyun praised Naohide for his promising youth, Naohide praised the medical museum and Saga for their strong and high level of support, and the head of the medical museum kept asking "where and where", and everyone looked happy - who said that the Saga clan was simple and simple, and the level of business was also very high.
A lot of words were said in a roundabout way, and Naohide heard it, and Saga finally discovered that there was a big loophole in the documents of the feudal office: the document unilaterally promised that the Saga Nabeshima family would keep the glass production secret, but it was not binding on Naohide at all, what if Naohide leaked the secret? Everyone finally realized this after celebrating the excitement, so the clan scolded the three of them, such as Hamuro, Shiba, and Motoshima, and everyone didn't believe that Naohide could make glass, and subconsciously ignored what happened after the glass was made.
Naohide is a shogun.,Usually everyone doesn't take this identity too seriously.,Saga Domain deals with Nagasaki every day.,A royal family is not a pedigree.,The low-level second half is nothing.。 As a result, the glass was made.,This thing is only sold in the Languo Merchant House.,Once a year.,Now Saga has also entered this monopoly market.,Honjima Fuji Taio calculated the output after the expansion.,The future income may exceed Saga's famous domestic ceramics "Arita ware", at that time the clan was angry, for the "Arita ware" monopoly, the clan hall and a lot of wealthy businessmen tore their faces, and the feudal soldiers came to control the business in their hands.
The three people in the feather room didn't dare to put a fart, and everyone discussed, the soft one can't be used and the hard one can't be used, so how can you control Naoxiu in your hands.
Ito Xuanpu is Naoxiu's teacher, and he usually seems to have a very close relationship, depending on what he says, can he persuade Naohide to turn to the Nabeshima family, Fantou (cavalry general), Monotou (Ashigaru general) He may not be able to look down on it, how about separating Lan Xueliao from the medical hall and giving him an Lan Xueliao school head?
Anyway, Mr. Ito Xuanpu only knew how to lead people to translate Lan Shu, and he didn't earn a penny but spent a lot, and the clan was very dissatisfied, and originally planned to reduce Lan Xueliao's expenses this year, so that Lan Xueliao would be separated from the medical hall and transferred to the management of the fire magic formula.
This year, the clan plans to set up a fire magic party to study how to make Western iron cannons and large barrels, and Hamuro, Shiba, and Motoshima are the designated fire masters, but because of the production of glass, the establishment of the fire magic party was mistaken.
Now it seems that Lan Xueliao is still very interesting - under the influence of the abacus daimyo Nabeshima Saimasa, the Saga clan has gradually established a culture of looking at money. The feudal office is very dissatisfied with the Lan Xueliao established last year, and now it seems that the leader is not good, Ito Xuanpu is outstanding as a doctor, but you can't lead people to translate any Lan book in Lan Xueliao, what is the use of translating books that don't make money and have nothing to do with medical skills, Western firearms and Western military systems?
Isn't it good to promote Naoxiu to the head of Lan Xueliao, and Ito Xuanpu to the head of the medical hall? As a result, I asked Mr. Genpo about it.,Naohide or the disciple of the Izu Nirayama acting official Egawa Taro Saemon.,What? He also healed the general's son, Nishimaru-like Jiaxiang. When the feudal hall heard this, it seemed that the original means of both soft and hard were useless, so they had to play the emotional card.
Naohide said before that if the glass was successful, he hoped that Saga would reward him with a boat, but because the time was too short, the Saga clan was not prepared at all, and now it seems that he really has to give him a good boat. After the feudal hall discussed, he took out a few rewards and prepared to make hush money for Naoxiu.
Hamuro Heiyuyun and Naohide went around in circles for a long time, and finally got to the point.
Hamuro said that he was going to transform a warship for Naohide, but Naohide quickly refused, and now the ship passenger industry is underdeveloped, so he is just for the convenience of travel, so it is okay to transform a larger fishing boat into a passenger ship. After the two sides finalized the details, Naohide asked Saga to send the remodeled ship to Edo and hand it over to Kanta, a merchant who was a happy event Shigeya, and according to common sense, the two sides tacitly agreed to deliver the ship in the Saga domain, but Hamuro agreed to Naohide's additional request.
Then the head of the medical museum, Shimamoto Yoshishun, came forward and gave Naohide Lan a letter of appointment for "guidance", hoping that Naohide would come to Saga every year to give lectures, and Naohide's original plan was to be closer to Saga, so he agreed directly without hesitation. As for the medical center's plan to prepare a house for Naohide as a mansion, Naohide refused, saying that he lived very well in Mr. Xuanpu's mansion, which was convenient for serving Mr. Xuanpu, and there was no need to break the bank.
The gift I wanted to give was not sent, Saga was a little blind, and in the end it was Totai Motoshima who broke the deadlock, and he directly talked to Naohide about the concern about the spread of technology, and Naohide also reassured Saga, he said that bricks and cement were jointly researched with Mr. Egawa Tanan, and these two things could not be kept secret, but the glass manufacturing Naohide could promise that as long as the Saga domain did not proliferate, Naohide would not leak it to outsiders, and he also wrote an oath regardless of Mr. Genpa's eyes, and finally got the guarantee, and the three of Hamuro, Shiba and Motoshima were greatly relieved.
The atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious, and Motoshima and Naohide discussed the subsequent development of the glass industry, and then broke up happily.
"The oath paper is subject to the handle", after the outsiders left, Mr. Xuan Pu pulled Naohide to leave Lan Xueliao, and after arriving home, he began to complain that Naoxiu was too rash, and the identity of the shogunate could protect Naoxiu, but as soon as the oath paper was taken out, no matter what the shogunate official's first thought after seeing it was that Naohide ate inside and out, "Why don't you hand over good things to the shogunate?" "As for whether the shogunate can unconditionally support Naohide like the Saga Domain, they won't consider it.
"Yongmin-kun, what do you think?" Naohide instead asked Murata for his opinion.
"If you don't have the handle of people, you can't win the trust of Saga", Murata hit the nail on the head and said Naohide's original intention.
Worthy of being a world-famous military advisor in the future, Mr. Xuan Pu is still too straightforward, unpredictable, Naoxiu estimated, according to the style of the abacus daimyo, Saga will definitely increase investment in the glass industry, do not produce a year of tens of thousands of taels of income will not stop, no handle I am afraid that my party will not be able to get out of Saga, although Saga does not necessarily do this, but the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he still knows how to count.
Mr. Xuan Pu can be a famous doctor in this era, and his IQ and EQ are definitely not low, as soon as Murata said it, he understood, and he glanced at Naohide, "You people, when I finish printing the orchid book in my hand, I will go back to Edo as soon as possible to open my medical center."
Naohide understands Mr. Xuanpu's loving heart, Saga Domain will not easily move Mr. Xuanpu no matter what, prestige is one thing, the key is to harm the reputation of his own people, Mr. Xuanpu's reputation as a doctor is almost full, he really has something wrong, "Kill celebrities and celebrities, the world is centrifugal", even if the Saga clan is not afraid of being pointed at behind the back of people outside, even the hearts of the people inside the domain will be shaken, if there is no Mr. Xuanpu, Naohide really wouldn't dare to make glass in Saga.
Naoxiu squeezed out his tears but didn't squeeze them out, "The student is tired and worried, and his heart is uneasy, so be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, please restrain me."
Mr. Xuan Pu knows a lot about Zhixiu, and knows that he has a lot of ambitions, originally he didn't like Zhixiu as a student, and he was easy to get into trouble, but after two years, Zhixiu was very respectful to him and carefully flattered, and Zhixiu was very decent, never said anything to deceive people, and did not have the bad habit of publicizing when he was a teenager. That's why I'm so worried.
Settle Mr. Xuanpu's heart, and then put all his energy into translating the Lan book in Lan Xueliao Naoxiu, last time he took nine books from the Lan Guo Commercial Hall, three Lan "Optics", "English Dictionary", "Frank Dictionary" handed over to Lan Xueliao for translation, the other six are not Lan he can only translate by himself, in the Edo New Year, he hurried to add magic reform, and finally finished translating "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", "The Basis of Chemistry", "The Theory of Population", in addition to the "Encyclopedia Britannica" and "Confessions", he also has to complete the " The Wealth of Nations", this is a million-word tome, and the workload after the magic reform is not small.
After the success of the glass manufacturing, although Saga and Naohide downplayed his role in it, Naohide's voice in the Kodokan and the medical hall greatly increased, and he transferred Sano Eisu, Shimadan, Uemon and Fujishima Jiro and other windmill groups to Ranxueliao to help, he only read "The Wealth of Nations" aloud, Murata Eitoshi, the two students and the windmill group divided into several groups to organize the article, while translating and printing on wax paper, in the second half of the month (July), the translation and printing of the abbreviated version of "The Wealth of Nations" were completed almost at the same time. In the middle, the Tanabata Festival (July 7th) and the Obon Festival (July 15th) did not rest much, and Naohide was very embarrassed, so he forced the monthly gold given to him by the medical hall to express his gratitude, and asked Mr. Hyun Pu to send a "letter of gratitude" to the windmill group.
Saga is very good at being a person, because Naoxiu hangs the name of Lan Xueliao's "guidance", Saga gives Naoxiu ten gold awards at the beginning of each month, and there are all year round, even if Naoxiu is not in Saga Yulu to be issued, of course, he can only receive it in person in the medical hall, this is to use a small grace and small favor to lure Naoxiu to come to Saga often - before this, Naoxiu did Lan Xueliao lectures, and Yulu is a monthly Jin Xiaoju, and Naoxiu has to lecture in Saga, not in Saga without a penny, and the treatment before and after is obviously different.
As I said before, the orchid book brought by Zhixiu originally belonged to Zhixiu, and five sets of each were printed for Zhixiu as a thank you, anyway, it was the money of the feudal government, and Mr. Xuanpu didn't care. When Naohide left Saga this time, he only brought two sets with him to give away, and asked Mr. Genpo to arrange for Mr. Genpo to send them to Saga Bansho in Nagasaki, and wait for Naohide to get them in Nagasaki.
At the end of Fumitsuki (July), Naohide said goodbye to Murata and two students, as well as Genpo sensei, Yoshishun Shimamoto, a head of the medical museum, Tetao Motoshima, and the students of the windmill group, and went straight to Higo Kumamoto.
When he left, Naohide was satisfied.,The glass was made.,By the way, he also cultivated a little industrial foundation.,The relationship with Saga Qunying has gone further.,And got the guidance of Saga Lan Xueliao.,According to later generations, this is the position of a visiting professor.,It's a big deal.。
Four people and a horse are on the road - Naohide brought a lot of books, and Murata Nagasoshi didn't dare to say that he was carrying it, he really couldn't carry it, there was no way, Naohide bought a horse in Saga, and the horses in Fuso were relatively short, as big as donkeys.
Speaking of which, Fuso doesn't have a donkey, and I don't know why, anyway, the only few donkeys are dedicated to the shogun overseas, and they are all precious animals, and the cattle are also extremely precious, but fortunately, Naohide has a samurai identity to buy a horse - to buy a horse also requires a samurai status, it's simple.
When he arrived at Kumamoto's "Four Seasons", Mr. Xiao Nan had long been looking forward to Naoxiu coming, Naoxiu promised him to bring more orchid books when he visited next time, this time he came with his promise, Mr. Xiao Nan was very happy to see "The Wealth of Nations" and "Population Theory", and Naoxiu said that "the remaining orchid books are blind", but he can't come back.
After living for a few days, Zhixiu found that Sishixuan is now much stronger than when he first came, Mr. Xiao Nan no longer clings to mercantilism and meritocracy, and attaches equal importance to agriculture and business.
When Naoxiu parted, he suggested that Mr. Xiao Nan should go out more by himself, and Kyushu Island was planned as a regional trade circle, and Mr. Xiao Nan thought so.
When they arrived at Saigo's house in Kagoshima, the four of them were warmly welcomed by the Saigo family. When Naohide left last time, he left the recipe of thirteen incense and five-spice powder for Saigo Takanai, and I don't know if it was Saigo's luck or the production was too small, so far the Tang Wufang of the Satsuma Domain has not come to the door to implement the monopoly, anyway, the Saigo family has made a lot of money with these two things.
Because of the improvement of his family's situation, this year, Saigo did not go to the county office to serve as a "county clerk assistant" for a livelihood in history, but still studied at home to make money by the way. He also organized his neighbors to form a group, named "Jingzhong Group", Naoxiu didn't know what the connection between making thirteen incense and five-spice powder and "Jingzhong" was, he didn't dare to ask, anyway, each family borrowed money to buy a stone mill, and the ground spices were blended in the Saigo family, Takanaga served as the head of the group, and Okubo Ichizo served as the accountant, and everyone was doing a prosperous job. According to Okubo, most of the spices were sold to Tang Wufang, passing them off as Chinese specialties, and it is not known where Tang Wufang sold them.
Naohide got to know the members of the Seitada group in his spare time, led by the Saigo family, supplemented by the Okubo family, and the team members were the Kawamura family, the Yoshii family, the Arimura family, the Oyama family, the Arima family, the Murata family, the tax family, the Yoshii family, etc., Naohide was very envious, and each of the families here would have celebrities at the end of the Bakuku in the future. Naohide secretly gave some eye medicine to the Arimura family, saying that the Miao character "Arimura" didn't sound like the group name "Jingzhong", but Takanaga didn't hear it and didn't care at all, and then Okubo Ichizo privately asked Naohide the reason, Naohide didn't see the four sons of the Arimura family with his own eyes, and it was a very unidentity thing to talk about people behind his back, so he was also vague about the past.
Last time, Naohide left "Hori-style Farming" and "Hori-style Rice Field Carp", Takanaga and Ichizo did business at the same time and began to practice in the nearby countryside, they accompanied Naohide to the scene to see, it seemed that they were doing a good job, and they also discussed the details, and waited for the autumn harvest to see the results. During this period, Naohide found that Takanaga borrowed a sum of money in order to do business and promote agriculture, so he took out a piece of Mitsui Zha with a hundred taels of gold and lent it to Takanaga and Ichizo, and Saigo Takashi knew that Naohide had money and accepted it politely.
This time, Naohide stayed in Kagoshima for a month, during which he carefully told Takanaga and Ichizo about the Ranshu he brought this time, anyway, the two of them were dizzy every day, and waited until the autumn harvest to leave Satsuma by boat.
The cargo ship of the Lankoku Shokan has arrived in Nagasaki, Naohide got the book at the medical hall of Nakamura Taichi as usual, paid the book fee and a new deposit, and spent more than 200 taels of gold, when he left Nagasaki, Naohide had less than 100 taels of gold in his hand, and the bookkeeper Mr. Murata also began to grin, Naohide set off from Edo with four gold tickets of 100 taels and nearly 100 small judgments, and before he knew it, there were only these left.
After that, Naohide left a book in Shimonoseki, asked the wealthy merchant Shiraishi Shoichiro to hand it over to Yoshida Jukata, and then passed through Osaka to Uwajima, Shikoku Island, where he met Mr. Keisaku Ninomiya, and finally met the famous beauty Ine at the end of the Bakuji at Ninomiya's house.
