Chapter 12 The Legacy of the Grass
Things were assigned, and Naoxiu was even busier.
The big fart, several groups also argued, lest others eat more and occupy more, and finally Naoxiu had to announce that every ninth day, nineteenth, and twenty-ninth everyone will discuss it, and the one who is in dispute wins, and what is usually the case, hold it!
Now there are nine people in the group led by Guanghu Zhisuke among the seventeen white masters, and they naturally account for the majority, although they don't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Naoxiu, but they are still infinitely beautiful, and they take a lot of advantage in the public discussion.
Okubo and others repeatedly suggested that the leaders of each group should participate in the voting, so Naohide changed to a two-step voting system, where everything was discussed together, and after all decisions were made, the leaders of each group voted twice, and after several turmoil, the decision-making system of the White Lord Executive Office was formed.
The consequence of this incident is that the price of several light pole group leaders is bullish, and even Yurong, who is in charge of the kitchen, has become a figure under the pull of all parties - after all, he can participate in decision-making in the end as the leader of the group.
Only Mr. Miyama, a medical officer, was still unable to participate in the assessment meeting, and was excluded from the group. But there were only seventeen people in total, and he was also quite well-informed, and he was very enthusiastic about the results of various decisions, especially the double calendar system and Western moments that Naohide proposed to be approved by all.
Following the example of China, Fuso released the "Zhenxiang Calendar" in the first year of Zhenxiang (1684), which was the first and last almanac of Fuso.
Naoxiu endured it for a long time, but he didn't have any opinions on the lunar calendar, but he had a great opinion on the current irregular time method - the Fusang irregular time method divides the period from sunrise to sunset and sunset to sunrise into six equal hours, and the length varies with the season, and the time is not equal, you dare to believe it.
Times are different, the world is so big, there is no future behind closed doors.
It just so happened that there was a pocket watch on the rice ship that was ready to be dedicated to the shogunate, and Naohide directly deducted twenty pocket watches, and by the way, he also sent a copy of the ship's calendar, plus various weights and measures tools, sextants, astronomical telescopes, and "British Starry Sky" and "English Astronomical Almanac" specially sent back by Gakujiro.
As the executive and the head of the family, Naohide unconditionally supports the resolutions of the assessment committee, but after all, the identity is different, he proposed to use Western time, calendar, latitude and longitude and Western weights and measures, and everyone also gave support, after all, except for what Gregorian almanac, everything else is quite convenient, and it is parallel to the foreign, so it is not possible for the head of the family to have a hobby - in fact, most people still value silver pocket watches, this is a Western thing, very valuable, and each person can send a piece through the resolution, and the fool is against it.
Takano Nagaei, who is alias Mr. Miyama, was also forced into a pocket watch, and after he heard that the white lord pursued the parallel and Western calendars, he was full of tears and emotions, and hurriedly looked for Naoxiu everywhere, ready to talk about his heart.
It is now the second half of the Western calendar, and it has snowed several times in succession, and Naohide is not worried about the boat and is patrolling the dock.
The location of the white lord is the north side of the Soya Strait, the warm current of the south Kuroshio in the north and the cold current in the south converge in the Soya Strait, and the sea surface of the northern part of the Whale Sea in the northwest has been frozen, but the Soya Strait is affected by the warm current and only a large piece of sea ice floats, and the sharp ice floes are very harmful to the wooden boats.
The climate in North Ezo is cold, and sometimes the snow continues to accumulate up to four meters in winter, and although the snow at this time is not so severe, it is also inconvenient to walk.
Takano Nagaei trekked deep and shallow in his boots, but his heart was like fire.
"The shogunate wants to open a port in the north?" After seeing Naohide at the pier, Takano bowed and asked trembling in the snow.
"Unreasonable!" Okada stepped forward to drive him away, but Naohide raised his hand to stop him.
"Get up and speak."
"The opening of the port is Gao Ye's long-cherished wish in his life, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." Forty-seven-year-old Takano, with his hair in a disheveled bun and his beard white under the condensation of the cold air, saw that his lifelong wish was in front of him, and he knelt in the snow and refused to get up.
"The kneeling people are also worthy of talking about the opening of the port", Zhixiu brushed his sleeves away.
Gao Ye knelt in the snow and cried loudly, startling countless birds in the forest, the close attendant Okada Xuanzhen is only sixteen years old this year, he is a countryman, and he can't see this the most, he whispered and pleaded with Naoxiu, "Palace-"
"Ezo, how long have we known each other?"
"Demeng Palace-like acceptance, Honghua two years, no, in 1845 Xuanzhen worshiped under Mr. When he was eleven years old, his father took him to Kochi to find a future for little Izo, but to no avail. Later, because Xiao Yuei was chased and beaten by the children of the store because of Xiao Yuei's stealing steamed buns, Yuei knocked down Izo on the street, and when Izo's father chased and beaten, he collided with Tosa Sergeant Yamada Tadabei, when Yamada drew his sword and faced each other, it was Naohide and Oguri Tadashun who came forward to save everyone.
Because of the grace of saving his life, Izo is very grateful to Naoxiu. Later, Naohide officially accepted him as a disciple as a banner, taught him to read and write, and subsidized the Okada family in various names, so when Naohide "disappeared in a shipwreck" in 1846, he resolutely returned to Edo with Murata Nagasoshi with the support of his father and became a retainer of the Hori family, hoping to repay Naohide's kindness.
And in 1949, Naohide returned, and less than a year later, he was promoted to the acting official of 200 stones, and Okada also felt that he really didn't follow the wrong person. After arriving at the White Lord, he was appointed as the head of the small surname group, and he became an important retainer, so he was naturally even more loyal.
Okada's mind is simple, and his childhood experience made him extremely insecure, and Naohide has always appeared in front of him as an omnipotent image, so Okada trusts and relies on Naohide very much. Zhixiu said that he used both foreign almanacs, and since then he has only used foreign almanacs, which can be regarded as Zhixiu's hardcore subordinates.
"This Mr. Sanshan is still my uncle, but isn't he a fool? The eunuch road is sinister, don't be gullible in the future, you must know that if the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, and if he is not secret, he will lose his body. ”
Naohide and Izo went back, and Takano cried at the docks, and after a long time, he got up on his own and stumbled back to his cabin.
Born in Mutsu Province, Nagahide Takano was born as a teenager, and at the age of 17 he studied in Edo under the Orchid Doctor Sugida Hachimoto and Yoshida Nagaso, and became famous as an Orchid Doctor.
Later, he went to Nagasaki to study and joined the "Narukuryu Juku" of Siebold Shogund, a military doctor at the Languo Merchant Hall, and Siebold awarded him the title of "Doctor" because of his excellent grades. Originally, as a generation of miracle doctors, even if he couldn't say that he had a great future, Gao Ye was also respected.
But Takano's life took a sharp turn in 1828.
In 1828 the Siebold Incident broke out. When Ranyi Siebold returned to Lan, a storm caused the ship to run aground in the port of Nagasaki and be damaged. The shogunate then found a map of Fuso and other contraband on the ship, and Siebold was deported, and Siebald's students and Lan scholars who had been with Siebold were punished by the shogunate.
Takano was in hiding in Kumamoto, Oita, and Hiroshima, but he continued to write, completing the work on physiology in 1832 and the clinical work on medicine at home.
After the rumors subsided, Takano returned to Edo to practice medicine.
In 1837, the ship Morrison broke into Uraga in Edo Bay and demanded trade, but was shelled and retreated. At that time, Takano Nagahide
As a folk celebrity, he gave the shogunate a letter of construction and advocated the opening of the port for trade, and Takano usually ridiculed the shogunate's policy of locking the country in the market, so the shogunate was very annoyed with him.
In 1839, the "Barbarian Society's Prison" broke out, when Torii Yoshizo and others accused Shogakai of "slandering the shogunate and plotting against him", and as a result, more than 20 people, including Watanabe Kazan and Takano Nagahide, were arrested, and Koseki Sanei was forced to commit suicide.
Takano Nagaei was supposed to be sentenced to life imprisonment, but he did not expect that the prison fire broke out in 1844, so he took advantage of the chaos to escape. After wandering, he returned to Edo in 1849, and this year, if it weren't for the help of Mr. Genpo Ito, according to history, Takano was discovered by the shogunate and committed suicide.
Originally, Takano had no intention of leaving Edo, but Mr. Genpo advised him, "You have been working for Ranxue all your life, but with little effect." You look at the people's straight show, in addition to inventing antidiarrheal powder, heart saving pills, and rich and noble disease treatment methods, people also stuffed hundreds of orchid books into the Fan Book and the Imperial Bureau, and iron smelting and foreign ash cement are even more popular. You can't say that you are on the wrong path, but why can't you learn from others, and when you promote Lanxue, you will be promoted and make a fortune. ”
Takano was excited, so he boarded the ship under a pseudonym. He thought that he was well-informed and had superb medical skills, and he would definitely be able to become a guest of honor immediately, and then Zhixiu would not say that he was obedient to his words, and he had to bow down to ask for advice, but until the white master, Zhixiu didn't treat him as a dish, let alone bow down to ask for advice, and he didn't even let him participate in the evaluation meeting.
Gao Ye was displaced in the second half of his life, and his relatives and friends were unlucky to be implicated by him, he was full of strength and strength in Naoxiu, and the salted fish turned over, but it seemed to be going to be empty, so he was mentally stimulated, and he fantasized that Naoxiu could immediately reuse him to show his strengths, so he couldn't hold back anymore when he saw Naoxiu's request to share it with the Almanac, and ran to the dock to prepare to have a good talk with Naoxiu.
In fact, Naohide still has a lot of respect for Gao Ye Changying, after all, he is the senior of Lan Xue, and he is his own "uncle" since Dr. Siebald, and Gao Ye has made achievements in medicine and geography, but just like Naohide and Yizang said, "Uncle Shi, he won't cheat people", Gao Ye's mouth is "open port", can open the port Naoxiu still need to run to North Ezo?
Idle Gaoye, want to promote the old and suppress, this kind of ghostly means of the human heart can't afford to play, and the white master is still engaged in these seventeen people? It will become a joke if it is stewed in a pot by the Lucians one day, so every human power must be cherished and used. Naohide did the "bad things" in private, but the more he did, the more cautious Naohide became, the older the rivers and lakes, the less timid he became, Naohide was still thinking about how to communicate with Gao Ye, but when he first arrived at the white master, he had a lot of questions, so he was delayed.
Today's incident, Naohide is quite annoyed. Although we must respect everyone's choice, it's good for young people to be excited, and it's good for the elderly to be excited-this is also good, but your mouth is "open port", you don't paddle in a small boat and rely on the waves, I still have a wife and children, I can't say this kind of thing, hey, the small and the old are not worry--in fact, Naoxiu himself didn't notice it, he was used to it, and he was a little complacent recently.
Fortunately, Naohide Sanguan grew up in later generations, and the hearts of the people were not all thrown away to feed the dogs, and after returning to the house, he asked Yuei to prepare a can of hot soup, and he personally sent it to Mr. Miyama.
Gao Ye Changying has been stormy for half a lifetime, and he is not so fragile, but the promotion of Lanxue and the opening of the port is his spiritual sustenance, a little hysterical, back to the wooden house, he also regrets a little, how can his head be hot and open his mouth is "open the port", and he made a mistake.
Naohide sent the soup in, Gao Ye was much more stable after tossing, Shi Li thanked him, Naohide told Gao Ye to quickly drink hot soup to warm up his body, Gao Ye also took out the lacquer bowl, and asked Naohide to drink some too, "This soup is good, and Yuei's craftsmanship is very good."
The two drank soup and chatted casually, and the conversation gradually shifted to whaling and northern Ezo.
