At the end of July of the sixth year of Kaei, Oguri Tadashun used the shogunate to "make fan" and "gome pay" to the white lord to announce the decree, and since then the white lord has changed from the acting official to the commission, and Naohide has also changed from a flag of 200 stones to a flag of 600 stones, and the service has also become a distant country of a thousand stones, and he has become a "heavy minister" of the shogunate - of course, Naohide thinks that his important minister is basically in a state where his father does not care about his mother, and he is very desolate.

Oguri's trip has three tasks, Gong Fang ordered him to figure out "how Naohide predicted earthquakes", while the old middle school and Ometsuke asked him to see if the Lusians had any changes in the north, and by the way, to see how the white lord was developing and whether it could play an effective role in the defense of the north, while he himself had some concerns about the founding of the country and needed to listen to Naohide's opinion.

Therefore, the next day, Oguri took the opportunity of the official decree to take a closer look - last night's decree was informal, which was equivalent to a good friend saying hello in advance, and of course the public decree had to be promulgated "in public".

It is said that it is a large court, but in fact, it is just a matter of finding a larger room for the important officials of the government to watch, so that they can feel the prestige and kindness of the shogunate.

As Oguri expected, when he heard that the Hori family had increased his family by 400 stones, Jialu and Naohide had the official positions of the small court, and the retainers of the Hori family who knelt down below all let out a voice of admiration - the prestige accumulated by the Tokugawa family for more than 200 years and the reputation of the small court for thousands of years are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then Oguri announced that the white lord has become a commission, and the onlookers are even more excited, this is a boil out.

But Oguri Tadashun knows that these guys may not be so happy in a few days, because the name is not returned:

Naohide's family is now 600 koku, and it used to be 200 koku, which seems to be a lot, but in the past, the Hori family received rice from the shogunate, and now Naohide has been given the fief of the white lord, and the Hori family has to hand over 240 koku of rice every year - the territory is actually sealed to you, and of course Yulu is taking care of himself, and paying tribute is also necessary.

In fact, more than 200 stone rice Naohide does not need to come out, the white lord is the service of a thousand stones, and Naohide Jialu is only 600, this difference is 400 stones, it stands to reason that the shogunate should make up for this gap for Naohide, 400 stone real hair is 240 stone rice, so this in and out just offset - this is not a coincidence, some smart people have calculated.

Now the income that the white lord can get from the shogunate is two, one is the service material, and the other is the support rice of the imperial family.

"The white lord pursues the service of high thousands of stones, and the service materials are thousands of horses", and the shogunate is about sixty percent of a stone, and the service materials are the annual funds of the white lord's office, if it is not enough, you can figure it out yourself, anyway, the shogunate will give so much.

As for the 12 horsemen and 50 people with the force, according to the calculation of 30 stones and 20 stones with the force, it is equivalent to more than 1,300 meters, this calculation is even more complicated, if these people are transferred from Naohide's retainers to the imperial family of the shogunate, then this rice is from the shogunate, if someone continues to maintain the status of a private vassal with the force and the inner concentric, then this money is from the shogunate himself - of course, Naoxiu can come out of the servitude, or from the place under the jurisdiction of the commissioner, anyway, the nominal shogunate does not care.

However, the white lord is so far away in Edo, and it is too nonsense to transport rice or money, so the rice supported by the white lord is still distributed locally, and the white lord does not produce rice, then the money is paid, and this money is deducted from the annual payment of the shrine - the government is in charge of the territory, since it is the imperial lord, shouldn't it be to pay the income to the shogunate?

The support of the royal family was sent by the white lord, and the same is true of the previously mentioned service material Qianta, the whole calculation, it is equivalent to the shogunate drawing a bean bag, and the commission makes this bean bag by himself and then eats it for himself, and not only that, but the white lord also has to make a few more bean bags and hand them over to the shogunate - this change is because the survey office suddenly found that the white lord has money.

When Naohide was appointed as the acting official of the White Lord three years ago, the shogunate gave a boat - the White Lord Maru brought back by Naohide from overseas, Mitsui Za Golden Ticket 1,000 taels, a few iron cannons, and a bow and knife, which was explained very clearly at the time, five

The shogunate will not allocate any more funds to the white lord during the year, and the white lord will not have to pay the income during this period.

But now the old and middle school regret it, obviously there was a mistake in judgment back then, last year the white lord took the initiative to pay tribute to 800 seal skins and 30 precious otter skins that are special products of the North Ezo - in fact, it is a thousand seal skins, and 200 have been smuggled by the survey, these furs are equivalent to more than 8,000 taels of gold, and this year the white lord has paid tribute to 1,000 pieces of seal skin alloy 5,000 taels, which is calculated according to 5,000 taels of gold, four dukes and six people, this white lord should be in the territory of 12,000 stones, and he will not hand over all his income, at least half of the greed, This Northland snow pit is actually a golden hole!

Therefore, there is a matter of the acting official changing the official and the executive - of course, the public can promote the retainer Qiben, but the enshrinement belongs to the civil administration, which is in the management of the old middle schools, so this time it is actually the general who gave the Naoxiu family and the official position, and the old middle school took the opportunity to bring the white lord into normal management.

Originally, the survey gave a high quota of 25,000 stones, but the old people were angry when they saw it, "It's stupid to be so stupid that it can't be cured", this North Ezo land has been entrusted to the Matsumae family to manage it before, you set a 25,000 stone for the white master, then according to the convention, it is necessary to compensate the Matsumae family for the reward territory, and the 25,000 stone stone is high, how much do you say is appropriate for the Matsumae family?

After going back, a few surveys were carried out in total, and the odds were erased, and the stone height was set at 5,000 stones, and at the same time, the rice offering of the white lord was exempted, and he was required to offer a special product every year - 1,500 pieces of seal skin, how about this plan?

In fact, since last year, the Kansho has been eyeing the White Lord, but at that time, the Shogunate was preparing how to deal with the visit of the rice boat, and Mr. Tanan also stirred up for the students - although the Kanding Ginmi Service is a deputy, he has an important right, and if the Kanding Ginmi Service does not sign the official document of the Kanding Mission, it will be invalid, and the adults at the Kanding Office have not thought about whether it is better to let Naohide send more fur in private or to set the White Lord's stone Gao more, so this matter has been delayed.

But this time obviously can't be delayed, hurry up and set a number, after the official document is submitted, the old and middle schools look at the "stone height of 5,000 stones", "1,500 pieces of seal skins are offered every year", and with a stroke of the pen, the stone height is changed to 3,000, and the number of seal skins is changed to 2,000. No, who knows how much the white lord earns.

Therefore, Oguri Tadashun knew that this time he was actually bleeding Naohide, "the hand that gave the money was above, and the hand that took the money was below", the shogunate only gave one thousand taels of gold back then, and this time it was a bit unreasonable to ask for so much, but he was a fan, and he was embarrassed and embarrassed by himself, so he scolded Kanding in his heart, and at the same time, he also knew that his waist was not hard, and he could only pretend not to be able to see things that were not too out of line with the white lord - you can't scold others for doing something wrong at the same time, right?

Fortunately, Naoxiu gave him the bottom last night, saying that there are a lot of specialties of the white master, and these can be supported, since the leading Naoxiu has agreed, presumably there will be no mess below, so although he was a little embarrassed when Xiaoli publicly announced the decree today, he was also very calm - that is, he was more active in his heart, and he felt that this way of politics was really unfathomable, and there were still too many places to learn!

The public announcement is over, and for the remaining days, Oguri will take people around the white master.

Although the seismograph was lost, there was a prevarication, and Yingzi also gave him a copy of "The Secret Art of Parenting", if it is really useful, I can be satisfied with the public appearance - the general's son is left with a lone seedling of Nishimaru-like Jiaxiang, and the prince of the world does not bear fruit, and he has not even given birth to a princess, so he can really give birth to a son Xiao Li dares to bet that Naoxiu's future is limitless!

The white lord is a palm-sized place, at best a larger village, so in less than three days, Xiao Li traveled all over.

After reading it, Oguri was both relieved and disappointed.

Rest assured because he knew that the rice people's Xianheng and Zhixiu were colluding, and he was afraid that the white master would see it.

Hey, there are blonde and blue-eyed Westerners walking on the street, and the black smoke of the Nanban ship docked on the dock, so as a retainer of the spectrum, no matter how good his friendship with Naohide is, he has to report it, and immediately good things turn into bad things, and this freshly baked white lord pursues Izusuke and immediately becomes a thief - just thinking about it makes me feel ironic.

The disappointment is that the white lord can see the ordnance and a few factories, he has turned around, and that's it:

Ordnance, that is, a few 3-inch rifled guns, two or three hundred breech rifles, dozens of short guns, and a number of mines, although these are prohibited, but the shogunate let Naohide top in the northernmost but only issued a dozen iron cannon bows and knives, this fact is unreasonable, what is wrong with people buying some equipment, and they didn't ask Edo for money, and it is also a violation of the law but a humane thing to really turn it over - the Lucia people are in the north, and Naohide can't sit and wait for death.

The visit of the black ship has changed a lot of things, and Oguri didn't realize that if he himself couldn't accept Naohide's private soldiers before the black ship's visit, but now, he thinks that as long as the number is a little smaller, it's completely acceptable - what if there are fewer Lucia people really calling?

A few factories, said to be factories, are actually very simple:

The only thing that can be said about the garment and shoe factory is that it uses Western sewing machines, and the several factories that emit black smoke are a cement factory, a small ironworks, a gas factory, and an ordnance factory.

After reading it, to be honest, Oguri was very disappointed, and at great risk, he colluded with the rice people to get these messy things out, and it seems that Naohide has been thinking about how to make money by hunting seals in recent years, and he can't be counted on to develop the orchid industry, and he still needs Mr. Egawa Tanan and himself to show their strength in Edo.

Now that you've seen all the horns, it's good to go to the market.

Oguri Tadashun walked on the road, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, now look, is this white lord's land still the imperial collar of the shogunate, although the clothes are strange, the hairstyle is weird, but the streets are full of people - no, this is full of eyes, there are many Ainu people with eagle-nosed harriers, and more of them are short and sturdy Hezhe people, what is going on?

In the past three days, I have only pondered Naohide's belongings, and I actually ignored the current Dingkou structure of the white master, and I really made a mistake - Oguri can't complain about Naoxiu, Naohide and Okubo said before that they would give him a detailed explanation of the situation of the white master, and it was he who said "let me come by myself", "What I see with my own eyes is the truth", and the result is that people don't hide it from you, but you don't listen.

Seeing Oguri asking, "Why are there so many Hezhe people", Naohide was also afraid that the shogunate would not be prepared at all, so he told Oguri one by one, and the white lord pulled out all the strongholds of the Lusia people at the mouth of the Oolong River last year, and transported back more than 1,000 Hezhe people by the way.

As soon as Oguri heard that more than a thousand people had been transported back, he knew that he was wrong, it was not the Lucian people who harassed the white lord at all, but the straight hair soldiers who took the initiative to attack others!

On the first night of the feast, Naohide told Oguri that there was a conflict between the White Lord and the Lucians, but Oguri didn't ask in detail when he heard Naohide say that he didn't suffer a loss—there were too many things to talk about at that time, and Naohide also asked about the situation in Edo after the black ship, where did he have time to talk about this.

And Oguri also recalled, last year Okubo vaguely said in Edo that "the Lusia people may go south in the autumn and even attack Uraga", and this year Sawamura Sonojo also said that "the black ship of the rice people is coming, so will the gunboats of Rusia be far away", plus the white lord has reported that he has inspected the northern Ezo land many times, and the water in it looks very muddy now.

The Rusians have always been the great enemy of the shogunate's imagination, and during the cultural years (1804-1813), the two sides were still fighting each other in Ezo, and now that the rice boat is coming, Oguri is very worried about the Lusia going south, so he will never go back to the house as soon as he hears about it.
