In late July of the sixth year of Kahoega, Oguri Tadashun came to the White Lord as the shogunate's "envoy" and "Mimesuke", and as soon as they met, he lost a lot of temper with Naohide, which was due to his dissatisfaction with the disobedience of the white lord to the "outer land", as well as his own worries about the shogunate and his own future.

At the private meeting, Naohide was blunt with Oguri Tadashun, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the shogunate's inadequacy through "Don't dare to ask for ears, but also if you wish", Oguri calmed down after hearing it, because the arrival of the black ship made him feel like many high-ranking shoguns "The world is a great change unseen in a thousand years", but how to change? What does the future hold after the revolution? There is no clear answer to these two questions, so everyone is a little scared, so he can understand the urgency of Naohide's innovation.

After staying and resting, Oguri attended a family banquet held by Naohide that evening, and the two of them were served by Naohide's wife, Eiko, who arranged for Oguri's entourage to be entertained elsewhere.

Eiko and Oguri's wife, Michiko, had a handkerchief - in order to take care of her son Fukutaro, Eiko had spent a year in Edo before coming to Hakujo, when Oguri was serving as a prince in Nagasaki, and Eiko and Michiko had a close relationship. In addition, when he was traveling with Naohide to study, Oguri was taken care of by Eiko at that time, and the three of them were old friends, and there was no outsider during the banquet, so the atmosphere was very relaxed, and Naohide said a lot of things to Oguri.

"Strength is respected between nations, and weakness is the original sin, so all pacification and relaxation are delusions before there is no power to protect themselves." - Oguri has already informed Naohide of the Black Boate's visit.

Oguri nodded in agreement.

"Far water does not save near fire, second-order medicine is difficult to cure eye diseases, military heavy weapons and Western products can be bought, but from the perspective of consolidating the foundation and peiyuan, after all, it is necessary to build a large scale of the orchid industry."

Oguri nodded again.

"If you want to build your own industry, in addition to laws and regulations, money and materials, you also need talents, workers, and ten years of trees to build people for life, although it is said that 'a tree is a hundred winners, people are also', but it takes a lot of effort, and it needs to change customs."

"Change customs, that's why you promote short clothes and hair in the White Lord?"

Speaking of which, Oguri is so angry, he imagined the situation of the white lord before he came to the white lord, even if the black ship that left Uraga appeared in the white lord - this is really not possible, even if there is a rice ship from the Nagasaki trade in the white lord, he can bear it - although he will definitely be furious, but when he goes ashore and looks, the ashigaru on the dock is full of foreign clothes, and the townspeople are all short hair, short coats, and pants, he really can't bear it, and the shogunate samurai require "different from top to bottom", and there are requirements for clothing, hairstyles, etc., which is regarded as "legal principle", which is the foundation of the shogunateIt is absolutely inviolable!

The more Xiao Li looked at Naoxiu's short hair, the more angry he became, after taking off the hat, the moon generation was gone, and the bun was gone, just like the monks in the temple, why don't you order a few ring scars, what kind of courtyard do you call yourself the Dharma name, I really want to buckle the plate to Naoxiu's head with my backhand.

"A long robe with wide sleeves and a high crown of hair is not conducive to work and is unhygienic."

Hearing this, Oguri Tadashun was silent, because there was also a shogunate in Edo who had openly hair, and he was ordered to do so, this was Egawa Taro Saemon - Mr. Tanan often ran the ironworks, and the old gentleman especially liked to observe the fire himself, so his hair and clothes were burned several times, and he was angry and asked the shogunate to allow the personnel of the ironworks to keep their hair short and wear short clothes, "Otherwise, this work will not be done!" "The achievements are naturally loud, and the old and middle school have to pinch their noses and agree.

In recent years, the famous doctor Mr. Ito Xuanpu has mentioned it several times, saying that short hair does not have lice and is easy to clean and prevent sores, and the town commissioner of course refuses to listen to his nonsense, but the folk doctors have been granted permission not to leave the moon generation without buns, and after listening to Xuanpu's declaration, many Lan doctors have secretly cut their long hair short, and when asked, they said that the hair quality is not good and whether it is long.

Who can not get sick in life. The institute's strength and unity do not want to offend the doctors, so they turn a blind eye to this, and this becomes more and more widespread.

Seeing that Oguri was speechless, Naoxiu didn't dare to be proud, people didn't really care about this, this shogunate was just worried that "the white lord has become a 'place to turn outside', Wan."

1. What should I do if I disobey the shogunate's decrees and cause chaos in the future?"

"With a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises. There will be disadvantages to vested gains. Naoxiu said that he was worried that this was useless, and he wanted to eat less grass if he wanted to run again, how could there be such a beautiful thing in the world?

"If there are disadvantages, there will be advantages." Xiao Li doesn't bother with this, the white lord is far away, he should not see it, these are trivial things, before he came, he was afraid to see the white lord looking like a deserted village and a dilapidated appearance of the people, but now it seems that the development is good, then naturally he will continue to squeeze Zhixiu, and he came with a mission.

He put his face on the version, "Naohide Flag Benori receives the imperial decree!" ”

Naohide quickly got up, he had a private banquet with Oguri, of course he was the main seat Oguri was a guest, but he couldn't do that, he had to climb to the bottom of the messenger - of course, Oguri also had to stand up and turn around.

Xiao Li took out the scroll from the small box he carried, and said freely for a long time, Zhixiu's ancient text is not very good, I didn't hear it clearly, but I probably understand the meaning, this is to be fad, I was promoted to make a fortune and die my wife, bah, it is a privilege to be promoted and make a fortune, this thing is troublesome, this will has already been taken out, and it scares people to be careful of their livers.

According to Oguri, this is a special purpose, and the general shogunate decree is issued after the old and middle schools submit the public sample for approval, but this will is proposed by the public sample on its own initiative, and the old middle school does not have much to object, which is considered a special honor.

In the will, he praised Zhixiu according to the custom, what is the courage and loyalty, loyal to the country, long-term hard work and grievances, and then the Hori family's Yulu was promoted to 600 stones, and he was also promoted to the position of acting official, and the private territory was set up in the white lord - the royal leader is precious, and the Zhixiu you are in the white lord to divide the land, and we can't see it if we draw more.

And also gave Naohide an official position.,The so-called official position in Kyoto.,Edo's office.,Fuso has always been a two-headed government.,For example, Oguri Tadashun's official position is Kami-sosuke.、The service position is Mimefu.,This time Naohide also got an official position.。

After the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, the shogun monopolized the power, and the shogunate did not have to go to Kyoto to thank him for accepting the official position, and this official position was not given by the imperial family.

But the Fuso royal family has been passed down for thousands of years, and under the influence of tradition, it is also a beautiful thing to have an official position, and Naohide got "Izusuke" this time, under the sixth position, and Oguri's "Kamisuke" is at the same level.

But Izu Province is in Tokaido, near Edo, and the white lord is in the North Ezo land, how did the South Sea and the North give such an official position on this day?

Oguri knew that the Hori family was shallow, and Naohide was a dirt bun, and he told Naohide that this Ezo land was not considered a Fuso land in the small court of Kyoto - there was no Ezo land in Wuki Qidao, so Naohide was startled at that time, "Then who is in charge of me now, have I been sent abroad?" ”

Oguri looked up to the sky and laughed, the official positions of this court are all ancient, and at that time Ezo was still the territory of the Ainu people, so it was not counted, and even the head of the current Matsumae family has always been Shima Mamoru or something, and the current head of the family, Matsumae Takahiro, is Izu Mamoru, just like you, according to the official position, you should stay in the Izu Peninsula.

Well, the official position is a title and it doesn't matter, what is the difference between this white lord and the white lord's acting official?

The difference is huge! In the past, the white lord liked to call himself a commissioner, but in fact, it was completely wrong, and he should call himself an acting official.

After the explanation, Naohide suddenly realized that this generation of officials can be big or small, but the practice can also be big or small, for example, Okubo is the white lord town of the office, in Edo fart is not used properly, but the addition of the place name is carried out on the shaking, the white lord is one of the new shogunate of the distant country, theoretically and Nagasaki commission, Uraga commission, belongs to the aspect of the minister, this treatment, responsibilities and establishment are very different from the acting officials.

The shogunate clearly stipulated that each daiguan could only have about 30 people—including the guards and warehouse guards, but Naohide, the white lord, could have 12 horsemen and 50 people at the same time, and the establishment was doubled at once

Many.

And the most important thing is that in the past, the service of the white lord was temporary, that is, the so-called hugging seat, and he would go to tea and cool when he was old - the son could not inherit the service, this time the shogunate opened the favor, and the force of the twelve horsemen, and the concentric fifty people are all hereditary two halves, one is thirty stones, one is twenty stones, if someone has made a great contribution, it is not impossible to promote to the royal family genealogy.

Speaking of which, Xiao Li glared at Naoxiu, and he didn't know if he didn't check it, he was startled, but the white lord acting official had reported the list before, but the thirty people except Naohide were all internal and internal, and there was not a single official minister! To rest on someone else's head, this is a big sin, a malicious hat to keep the buckle of your tight, really breathable!

But there are people in the court who are good officials, and the appointment letter of the White Lord's acting official office was written by Mr. Egawa Tanan, a teacher of Naoxiu, and Jiang Chuan, who was the surveyor of the Yinwei Servant at the time, arranged the paperwork clearly and seamlessly - although the number of words in the document is not much, there is a clause in it that "the candidates for the service position shall be disposed of as appropriate", so as long as the head of the White Lord's acting official office does not exceed the quota, there is nothing wrong with Naohide appointing his own retainers!

But this time after the white lord was promoted to the distant country, this cheap is gone, although the white lord does not know what Edo is like, the civil administration is still "discretionary disposal", but the preparation requirements are rigorous, although there is no clear requirement that the white lord's servants have to become shogunates, but the treatment is opened, I don't believe that no one is tempted! - The second half can be hereditary, but most of the retainers of the Hori family do not have this guarantee!

Xiao Li knew that Naohide must understand the tricks in this, he saw that Naohide's face had not changed much, and then threw out a bad news - the establishment of the White Lord Execution Office is two, for the time being, it is one positive and one pair, this appointment and dismissal power is in the shogunate, although this time there is no "pursuit and" to take office, but there will definitely be in the future, and the white lord must not become the private leader of the Hori family!

Naoxiu continued to remain silent - he had carefully checked the paperwork before, and he smiled after reading it, he didn't care about these methods at all, because the most critical term of office had not changed!

In the old age of the Tenpo, the first Mizuno Tadashi reform regulations, requiring the acting official to serve a ten-year term - this is to prevent some people from not caring or taking a handful of runs, originally Naohide heard that he became a distant country to pursue a very worried, this is generally a two-year term, Nana's, he was appointed in 1850, this year 1853, even if he does a good job, he will be re-elected twice and it will be over, at the latest in 1856, he will inevitably leave the white master, but six years is too short, people go to politics, it is estimated that the future of the white master's career will inevitably experience twists and turns.

But Naoxiu took a closer look, and the will of the public side was relatively short, and he would definitely not mention this, but the document that followed the will clearly stated that Naohide wanted to stay in the white master for ten years, and he didn't know which pro was so powerful!

So Naoxiu is not worried at all, as long as he is still in this position, it is useless for anyone to come!

Naohide has already transferred the fur and all kinds of money-making businesses by building a trading house.,The white lord office is now an empty shell.,No one can come without money.,For example, Okubo.,As the town commissioner, he's an inner force.,That is, the retainer of the Hori family.,In fact, there is no formal establishment in the shogunate.,The nominal income brought to him by the service is 30 stones.,18 small judgments a year.,But Okubo's dividends in the trading company last year are equivalent to about 1,500 small judgments.,Equivalent to 2,500 stones. Personally, from Edo, do you think Okubo listens to Naohide or listens to him? As long as you can settle accounts, you must listen to Zhixiu.

Oguri also felt that these methods were a bit stupid, if he beware of Naohide's writing "I want Naohide to stay in the white lord for ten years", but he never thought that Naohide would be willing to stay in the white lord forever, nor did he think that Naohide could do anything to come out - the white lord now has more than 1,000 people, and in Edo is the population of a town (planned residential area), what can be done.

What he has been guarding against is not that Naohide is dissatisfied with the requirements related to the implementation, but that he is afraid that Naohide will be disappointed, he thinks that Naohide must be thinking about returning to Edo as soon as possible to show his skills, this white land is poor and broken, and when it is not right, the Lucians will call - after seeing the photos of the black boat, Oguri is very optimistic about the future of the white master, and he feels that this white master is a pit, and the thief is deep!
