The buildings near the water get the moon first, and the sunny grass and trees are easy to spring. After Zhixiu was promoted to the flag of two hundred stones, it was the first of the four masters of the Zaoya group to visit together.

It stands to reason that after Naohide was promoted from the imperial family to the flag book, the shogunate should give him a new house, and even if there is no new house, Naohide should be granted a piece of land, so that the Hori family can move to the flag place of residence as soon as possible, but this has to be applied for by Naohide himself. And at that time, Naohide didn't care about this - the shadow of the black ship's visit was getting bigger and bigger, and it was the right way to accumulate strength as soon as possible.

After that, Naohide disappeared again, and Murata Yongmin was in charge of housekeeping, and he was not familiar with his life, so he felt that his neighbors over the years had something to take care of, so he didn't have much to do.

Therefore, the Hori family, as the flag of 200 stones, still lived in Shinjuku-cho, a low-class samurai gathering area.

After Naohide returned from Edo Castle, he immediately told Yingzi and the retainers the news, after all, everyone had been scared for a long time, and now they can breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result, before Naohide went to visit his uncle Takemae's house and his father-in-law's Nakamura house, the four heads of the Zaoya group came by themselves. They had wanted to come to visit for a long time, but as soon as they saw the ashigaru of the vigilant Hori family withdraw, they heard a cheer from the house of the Hori family, and they couldn't hold it anymore and ran directly to inquire about the news.

Zhixiu grew up watching these families, and they have been friends for more than 200 years, and everyone has a good relationship. In addition, now the happy event is the meat of everyone's heart, and the business depends on the Egawa family and the Oguri family to take care of Naoxiu's face, and everyone also wants to find out the news, so don't have any accidents.

Naohide thanked everyone for taking care of the Hori family in his absence, and after hesitating for a moment, he made the news of his promotion to two hundred stone public, after all, everyone will know sooner or later, and Naohide's future plans are inseparable from the support of the neighbors.

Hearing the news of Zhixiu's promotion, the four heads of the family were overjoyed - along the way to open the jujube house group and the happy event house, the eighteen families and the Hori family were too deeply involved, and it had long been a relationship of loss and loss.

Because of the requirements of the eye, Naoxiu can only claim to the outside world that he was "stranded on a desert island and rescued by a passing ship", and the matter from the middle to the United States must not be leaked.

The four heads of the family don't care about the details, it's good for them to come back, and after euphemistically saying to Naohide how nervous they have been in the past few years, the four of them talked about Naoxiu's new appointment one by one.

After all, the Takemae family and the Nakamura family are relatives of the Hori family, and the benefits must be indispensable, but what if the Kojima family, the Nakajima family, and other neighbors are neglected? Zhixiu had no choice but to say that he couldn't forget everyone's affection, and after getting the specific official document from the Shangguan Survey Office, he would have to help everyone with the specific official matters.

When the white lord of the northern Ezo land was discussing whether he could start fishing, Mr. Tanan Egawa brought someone here, and the four heads had to get up and say goodbye.

Mr. Tan'an, as the Kanding Ginmi, is the direct leader of the White Lord's acting officer appointed by Naohide.,Naohide was about to run to find out the news at night.,As a result, Mr. Tan'an himself came.。

The flag is nominally a direct subordinate of the Gong Fang, so the promotion of the family cannot be promulgated by the administrative officials of the old middle school.

The Gao family, the musicians, the people, and the royal side people are all responsible for transmitting the orders of the public side.,When Naohide was promoted from the imperial family.,Oguri Tadashun.,It's the temporary appointment of the royal side of the people.,And this time he became the flag book of 200 stones.,Since then, it's a figure in the shogunate.,So it's the will of the musician.。

As an acting official in a distant country, Naoxiu's usual service is under the jurisdiction of a series of officials who are surveyed and commissioned.

I was worried and had no clue, so it was good for Mr. Tanan to come and solve my doubts in person.

After saluting and serving tea, Mr. Tan'an squirmed and didn't speak, and Naoxiu didn't dare to offend, so the two were relatively speechless.

"Hmm~, that, I'm really sorry." Mr. Tanan apologized to Naohide first, and then explained his intentions.

It turned out that the success of the ironmaking of Nirayama, Mr. Tanan made a list of heroes, the old and middle people were in the middle of the strategizing and winning a hundred miles away, the survey and commissioners were the work of dispatching materials, Egawa Yingmin was the right-hand man, and then the hand attached, Niriyama was the dedication, and the strength of the dedication, and the rest were the praise of Naohide, Sakuma Zoyama, Katsu Haishu and others.

Because Naohide and Mr. Tanan said that they didn't want to be in the limelight recently, Mr. Tanan said that Naohide was indispensable in the official document, but he did not mention the role of Naohide in detail. In this regard, Mr. Tanan thinks that the big guys in Edo Castle can be considerate, and we haven't made much progress for a long time, and it wasn't until Naohide participated in it, and Metsuke also came to investigate, so no one can take the credit from Naohide.

But Mr. Tanan didn't expect the bigwigs to pay not enough attention to Naoxiu, and felt that Naoxiu was working, but it might not be useful. He fought hard to earn Naohide a 200 stone salary, but it could only end here - someone said in a weird way, even if Hori Naohide is your protégé, you can't exaggerate it so much, things are done by everyone, is Hori a three-headed and six-armed monster, one can fight a hundred?

About how important the process of ironmaking is, and these lords can't explain it at all, and Naohide is afraid that people will go to politics, and when he was in the United States, he wrote the process clearly in Fusang script, but he is not easy to sign, and the Western books that are pseudo-translated are dedicated to the shogunate, so the bigwigs say that according to the cat and the tiger, what is so difficult about this, so they resolutely refuse to change their minds, but in order to appease Jiangchuan, he added a coastal defense hanging post - at this time, the coastal defense hanging can participate in foreign affairs and coastal defense, which can be regarded as a senior adviser to the shogunate.

Mr. Tanan himself was promoted, but the student was sent to a distant country, so he felt very embarrassed, so he took the initiative to explain.

In Fuso's current environment, Naoxiuba did not get to be enshrined in a distant country - although he did not expect to go so far to North Ezo. According to Naoxiu's latest plan, he made three plans: if he could be in charge of a place, it would be the best, no one could hinder him and show his strength, but this was basically a dream; If the shogunate could give Mr. Tanan more authority, it would be okay to follow Mr. Tanan, but he was deeply skeptical; And the plan of the guarantee is that Nirayama will have a stall, Saga will have a stall, Tosa's Yoshida Toyo will have a stall, Uwajima's Ninomiya Keisao will make another stall in Date Munejo, and Satsuma's Shimazu Qibin will open another stall next year, and the rest is still counting on whether Mr. Yokoi Konan can rise up in advance and open a branch base in Higo or something.

As for Oguri Tadashun, his father Zhonggao is still in power, blocking his way to rise, and it is hard to say when he will be in power. And Yoshida Jufang, in that distorted place in Changzhou, Naohide is really not optimistic.

Now that he has been sent to North Ezo, Naohide thinks it's okay, after all, Lusia has been expanding in the north in recent years, but the governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, doesn't have any resources in his hands, a thousand standing troops, five wooden warships, as long as he doesn't go crazy and make all the people soldiers, Naohide can still break his wrists.

At the beginning, he left a hand before returning to Fuso, and according to the agreement, the ship sent by Gakujiro from the United States is now almost to Nagasaki, so the materials brought back by the steam ship this time should not play the set of barbarian treasures, and directly replenish themselves.

Thinking of this, Naoxiu and Mr. Tanan carefully understood his task as the acting officer of the White Lord.

As he spoke, Mr. Tanan shook his head and sighed. Now that the southeast monsoon has basically ended, it will be the northern monsoon soon, so let Naoxiu go to North Ezo, and it is estimated that the port will be frozen by then, and it will be completely sent to death.

"Not necessarily", Naohide hurriedly explained to Mr. Tanan that there were capable people in the shogunate, and according to the ocean currents and monsoons, it is indeed a dead end to take the Tokai Road between Edo and Oshu now, but it is completely feasible to go through the Nankai Road from Edo to Osaka, the Saikai Road from Osaka to Nagasaki, and then the Hokkai Road from Shimonoseki to Ezo Jimatsumae.

And there are still more than two months of frozen ports in North Ezo, hurry up

In the intermittent case, at least it is not a problem for the boat to arrive in front of the pine, and as for the words of the white master, it may not be impossible.

"Is this true?" Mr. Tanan thinks that this is indeed like the usual style of the shogunate, setting a high goal for his subordinates, and it takes shit luck to achieve it, but if he can't achieve it, his subordinates can't find an excuse, after all, it seems that he can still achieve it with hard work.

Naohide hurriedly patted his chest and assured the teacher, saying that his grandfather was killed in the battle of the white lord, and his father was also the last group of the shogunate to evacuate the white lord, and the white lord was familiar with the place, right?

Mr. Tan'an clicked his mouth, thinking that the bigwigs must have investigated Naoxiu's background before giving this order, but when his mind was applied to this, he always felt that something was wrong.

After knowing that this order was not for Naohide to be sent to death, Mr. Tanan revealed to Naohide the task of the White Lord's acting officer:

First of all, Naohide was there to support the Matsumae family, and he could not violate the "Three Chapters of the Ezo Trading System" agreed upon by the Tokugawa family and the Matsumae family, first, the Matsumae family was responsible for managing the trade between Fuso and the locals, second, the Matsumae family was responsible for monitoring and punishing illegal trade, and third, the Matsumae family had the duty to protect the Ezo land, and could use troops against the natives without asking for instructions.

Secondly, the scope of authority of the deputy official of the white lord is the vicinity of the white lord, the southern part of the northern Ezo land, and the deputy official is a local official, so Naohide's main task is to see what changes are made by the natives in the southern part of the northern Ezo land, and by the way, to find out whether the lower Rusian ships often invade - this is the northernmost place of worship in Fuso, and you can learn about the actual situation in the north.

As for the general acting officials need to manage civil affairs, manage lawsuits, and pay taxes, this shogunate did not make a requirement, once a five-year term, during the term of office, Naohide was self-sufficient, and the taxes were all exempted, and he was also ready to give Naohide a start-up capital of 1,000 taels, plus a boat for free - the flying clipper boat brought back by Naohide, the shogunate had already copied two in the Uraga Commission, this old ship was useless, and it was better to give it directly to Naohide on the road.

As for the water husband, no one in the shogunate's sailors wanted to go to the white master, so the shogunate had to allow Naohide to recruit on his own, and he didn't even send a guide.

Mr. Tanan was afraid that Naohide would not know the trick when he was acting as an acting official for the first time, so he told Naohide, "There are many loopholes that can be exploited in the "Three Chapters of the Ezo Trading System":

At that time, the rule was that "the Matsumae family must report to the Matsumae family before trading", and of course the merchants had no choice but to honestly abide by the "place please bear the system" and pay the transaction tax and "transport gold", but as the acting official of the shogunate, as long as you ask for trade in writing, the Matsumae family can only pinch their noses and agree - after all, the shogunate requires self-financing, and the local rice cannot be grown, so the acting government can only rely on trade. Fortunately, all the white lord acting official can manage is the vicinity of the white lord, and the interests are not great, and the Matsumae family is estimated to be able to recognize it, otherwise the shogunate will ask the Matsumae family to supply the white lord deputy's materials, and the Matsumae family will be even more troubled.

As for the second and third articles, they are used to shake off the pot, and it has nothing to do with what happens to the White Lord's acting office, after all, the Matsumae family is fully responsible for the Ezo land. The second of the name of the White Lord's Acting Official, when there is nothing to do, you can point fingers at the entire North Ezo according to Fusang's statement that the region is stationed, and if something big happens, just talk about the white lord, and retract back to the small place of the white lord - anyway, the white lord Dingkou is estimated to be less than a few hundred, what big thing can happen?

If something happens to the Matsumae family, there is nothing to reap the benefits, and Mr. Tanan is eager to teach the Egawa family hundreds of years of experience in fishing.

In the end, Mr. Egawa also reminded Naohide that a house is hanging, the acting official can't leave the location without reason, no matter what happens, after arriving at the white lord, you must not leave the North Ezo land without the order of the shogunate, except for this, you can toss at will in office - by the way, don't be captured by the Lucians, people come and go, and the land can't be taken away, so it's important to save your life.

After the instructions were finished, Mr. Egawa told Naohide to come to Edo Castle early tomorrow to get the official documents, after all, he could only get the ship and make all kinds of preparations after taking the official documents of the Kanding Mission-since he couldn't put off this unfortunate errand, it was better to get on the road as soon as possible.
