After the three debate ships left, Naohide talked to Okubo.

Actually, everyone who has been isolated for half a year has received a letter from home, and Naohide has also asked, most of them have nothing to do at home, only Okubo's letter is more troublesome, Okubo Riyo is Shimazu Qibin's hardcore, Qi Bin is the top position, he won't encourage his son to go back to Kagoshima, right?

Okubo has been busy flying recently, taking care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the new immigrants, and finally Naohide sent him a new subordinate, and each group also gave full assistance, so he barely coped.

At dinner, the two met. After gobbling it up, he tried it while drinking tea and showing it.

Going around and around, Naohide asked about the Okubo family's life in Edo, but he still refused to end the conversation. Okubo has also been smiling and coping, speaking of which, Edo is much more prosperous than Kagoshima, and the atmosphere is relatively open, and the younger sisters are having a good time, and even Daddy's body is much better under Mr. Genpu's careful care.

"Which, which, I heard that Satsuma Mamoru is going to be replaced, what news is there for Shosuke." In the end, it was Naohide who started the conversation first, and rarely called Okubo Younga to show closeness.

"Liji didn't pay attention."

In fact, Okubo is quite tired of Naohide's recent temptations: since receiving the letter from home, Naohide has been constantly tempted, and before the merchant ships left, Naohide often avoided himself. Busy affairs, Okubo is so happy, he can do more things when he sees each other less, he actually enjoys the status of the town as a man of his word, he can do whatever he wants, and he has a sense of accomplishment to watch the white lord change little by little.

In this case, he readily admitted to Naohide that his father really mentioned the possible change of head of the Shimazu family. It is said that when the princes ascended the castle in early February, the prince of the Shimazu family, he gave the head of the Shimazu family, Qixing, a set of tea sets, and the buttocks of the Shimazu family's secret trade and private silver goods had not been wiped clean, and after receiving the tea set, Qixing knew that this was a hint from the shogunate that he had abdicated.

But what Okubo didn't know was that not long after, Qi Xing really happily gave up the position of head of the family to Qi Bin.

In fact, Qi Xing is sixty-one years old this year, and he didn't want to do it for a long time if he was not in good health, he originally wanted to support his youngest son Zhongjiao, but he didn't expect that Yuluo's commotion would get bigger and bigger, and it had begun to shake the foundation of the Shimazu family.

Two years ago, the secret trade and private minting of silver goods incident, the old man laughed at Saemon to commit suicide to apologize, at that time rumors were flying all over the sky, Qi Xing also suspected that Qi Bin and his family reported it, after all, "the murderer is the beneficiary". Annoyed, he motioned for his men to launch a blow against Qi Bin's family.

Qi Bin's family has always been dissatisfied with Zhongjiao's biological mother, Mrs. You Luo, thinking that Luo has been purging the head of the family to change the son, as for whether they planned to assassinate You Luo and Zhongjiao's mother and son, it is difficult to distinguish whether this matter is true or false.

Qi Xing just wanted to clean up Qi Bin's family, but he didn't expect that his other son, Zhongjiao, was not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the name of the Luo Turmoil, the Zhongjiao clan wantonly squeezed out dissidents, and the two families were old, six samurai seppuku, more than 50 people were exiled, many middle and lower-ranking samurai were also suppressed, and more and more people fled from the feudal domain due to dissatisfaction.

None of the two sons had any worries, and Qi Xing was disheartened for a while, so as soon as the shogunate put pressure on him, Qi Xing, the head of the Shimazu family, pushed the boat down the river and simply gave up his seat to Qi Bin.

Edo's gossip has always been flying, Okubo's father Rishi was really moved after hearing the rumors of the tea set, the homeland is hard to leave, there was no way before, but now the admired prince Qi Bin is going to take the throne, and he really moved the idea of returning to Kagoshima. But this idea was quickly suppressed by Madame Fukuko.

Although Edo is much colder than Kagoshima, but Fu

Mrs. Zi is much more comfortable than before.

In the past, I worked as an internal job with neighbors such as Saigo, and there was a little money, but it was all earned through hard work, and the status of the Okubo family in Kagoshima was very low - there were many low-level samurai in the Shimazu family, partly because the Shimazu family was reduced to two countries after the establishment of the shogunate, and the place was small but the number of samurai did not change, and the proportion was naturally high; Another reason was that the Shimazu family adopted a military system similar to that of the prefectural military system, and during the Warring States period in Momoyama, peasants with a few acres of land who could be equipped with weapons followed their head of the house a few times and became country samurai.

Last winter, when Naohide and his party went from Matsumae to Hakujo, the client sent a letter to Edo to report that he was safe, and Mrs. Fukuko was very relieved when Ritsu's letter arrived, and her son said in the letter that the head of the family wanted him to be the town commissioner, which was much better than the small accountant that her husband had worked before.

Therefore, as soon as Toshiyo revealed his desire to return to Kagoshima, Mrs. Fukuko counted him as ungrateful: Toshio was the head of the Okubo family, so after arriving in Edo, Eiko, the mother of the Hori family, hired him as the head of the Hori family as explained in Naohide's letter, and helped the chief retainer Murata Agatoshi to take charge of the property.

Moreover, the Zaoya Group also absorbed the Okubo family, which is much cooler than working by himself, and with the settling-in allowance and Yulu given by Naohide, the Okubo family is also better off than in Kagoshima - as long as there is money, what can't Edo buy?

Yingzi and Naoxiu have traveled abroad together, and they are very atmospheric, usually organizing the ladies and girls of the Zaoya group to study and learn gynecological medicine, and Mrs. Fuzi also expects her three daughters to marry a good son-in-law after completing their studies.

The Okubo family is usually Mrs. Eiko in power, and she warned her husband, "Go back to Kagoshima, good idea Ou~ In the future, when you are alone outside, you should pay more attention to your body." Edo and Kagoshima are so far away that you can come back once in three to five years. ”

Okubo didn't talk about these family matters in detail with Naohide, but he only told Naohide one thing, and Naohide was relieved after hearing it.

It turned out that Okubo was going to change his name back to "Riji", after all, he used to avoid the name of his boss, but now that he has changed his name, it would be better to change it back.

Naoxiu was overjoyed when he heard this, this is what smart people look like - on the surface, it seems to be changing back to the original name, but in fact, it is a resolute statement.

Naohide hurriedly took out the map and drew a pie for Okubo.

You see, to the east is the fishing grounds, and in the Western calendar you can hunt whales in June, and then there is Seal Island, where thousands of furs are drizzling, but it won't be until July.

As for the west, not far to the northwest is the Great Plains of the Northern Ezo Land, and if it is fully developed, there will be at least 200,000 stones. What, can you grow rice? Yes, but it is estimated that the seeds will be screened.

Further west, the southern west coast of North Ezo does not freeze in winter, but is much stronger than the white lord. Moreover, the island across the sea is said to produce gold, why don't we go out and take a look at it one day?

Along the Wulong River estuary in the north to the east, along the river you can reach Aihui, Bukui, Alejin, Jilin Wula, you can trade with the Tang people, and then you are not happy to fly.

A seat made Okubo angry.

Actually, Okubo didn't know how worried Naohide was about him running back to Kagoshima - there was a misunderstanding of information asymmetry.

The merchant ship that came this time walked at sea for about two months, and when it left Edo, the lord of the Satsuma domain, Saiko, had just received the general's tea set, and it was when rumors were flying, so Toshi's letter to his son did not persuade his son to leave immediately, but he just tried it, but Naohide knew that Qi Bin was successful in his upper position, so the two of them attached different importance to the same thing.

A recent straight show

I've been hiding, Okubo is in a hurry, as the town commissioner, he has already settled people preliminarily, but what to do next, he has to discuss with Naohide.

Ahead of Naohide sent someone to probe, he thought Naohide was worried that he couldn't handle it or even pick a child, he felt that he had to talk to Naohide, heroes are not afraid of low background, although the white lord is small, but it is also a place to stay, not to mention that it is far away from Edo, and the high general is far away, it is a good place to vigorously engage in secret trade - since the last time the merchant ships of the rice country left a large number of supplies, Okubo has become a supporter of secret trade.

After listening to Naohide's talk about flatbread for a long time, Okubo felt that Naohide was empty-hearted - he heard that Naohide took people out to sea to catch seals, but he didn't catch a single hair.

"Let's listen to Okubo." Okubo was tired for a day, Naohide's nonsense was a lot of thieves, and it was too far away from the business he was currently busy with, and he had a bit of a headache when he listened to it.

After taking over the conversation, Okubo poured beans and said coolly.

The immigrants have settled down initially, and there are no wooden huts to live in and shacks to live in.

Moreover, the physical fitness of this group of immigrants is good, and it is estimated that they have been preliminarily selected. There weren't many sick people - a few people died at sea, but the sailors dealt with it more decisively, and after arriving at the white master, after recuperation, they were basically able to work now.

Everyone is working hard to build a wooden house, and everyone first goes to the neighborhood to cut down trees, and the wood that is dragged back is initially processed by the Kinokuniya carpentry organization, and after a simple drying, the house is built. On this condition, there is no way.

Okubo said that these people can't always build houses, right?

Okubo thought that manpower was precious, and the people should not participate in the fishing organized by the merchants. Like the Satsuma Domain, the White Lord also engaged in the collection of soldiers from the people—in addition to military training, he pursued his own farming, fishing, and business. If it weren't for the merchant's channels and ships, Okubo would have been eager to drive the merchant away and do everything himself.

Before the immigrants came, they discussed within the institute, gave priority to protecting themselves by force, and recruited some of the new immigrants into the group first, and then more into each group, and also planned to set up a centralized nursery school and village school, where both adult men and women had to come out to work, and the people were arranged clearly before they came to the family.

But after the people arrived, Okubo's mind changed.

Why do you prioritize the group? It's not enough to participate in the training on time, production is the priority, and now the acting official Naoxiu has given IOUs to the merchants, if there is no production, everyone will starve to death before the rice boat comes in the autumn!

It's not enough to starve to death, at least there are 10,000 eagles in the library. Naohide understands that this is Okubo's coming in advance, and the division of rights starts at this time.

But Naohide thinks that what Okubo said makes sense - everyone made a lot of plans before the immigrants came, and it looked beautiful but the actual effect was average. Let's take the matter of building a wooden house as an example.,If there were no carpentry and tools sent by Liba.,It's estimated that Naohide is now leading people to dig out the soil nest.,It's possible to live there.,But it's also dirt.。

Therefore, Naoxiu asked everyone to inform everyone that there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, and how these new immigrants will be arranged is related to the success or failure of the implementation, so let's discuss it internally first.

After the news spread, the leaders of each group began to move around despite the fact that it was late, and several of them were ready to have a good talk with Naoxiu. "Don't I have to sleep Master Naoxiu?" Staying up until ten o'clock in the evening, Naoxiu couldn't bear it anymore, he hung the blackboard outside the door, which said "Refuse to visit after eight o'clock in the evening", and then no one knocked on the door and didn't open it, which stopped this unhealthy trend.
