Volume 1 The Cry of the First Examination Chapter 70 There has been no true Taoism in the sea for a long time
The seat of Aki-gun is located in Aki-cho, not far from Kochi, so we arrived at noon the next day, and everyone took a short rest, and in the evening we attended a reception banquet held by Yoshida at the mansion.
Toyonobu Yamauchi was quite uneasy, although Akicho was not far from Kochi, but it was far less prosperous, he was afraid of being rude in front of Oguri, but Yoshida Toyo was indifferent to this, he felt that it was not as good as Edo anyway, so it would be good to get some delicacies from the mountains and seas to eat fresh.
Sure enough, Oguri and Naohide didn't dislike being picky, but Toyonobu couldn't interject either, because they and Yoshida were talking about local customs and agriculture.
Originally, Fuso was less plain and more mountainous, and Tosa's forest coverage rate ranked first in Fuso, as for Aki-gun, it was even more miserable, with less arable land, and there was still a lot of sandy land in the county, plus the roads were inconvenient, in short, the northern part of Aki-gun was better, and the southern part was the poor countryside of Tosa, which was a poor country, which was simply miserable.
Yoshida Toyo served as a county commissioner here for more than two years, cracking down on wealthy merchants and rich peasants in an all-round way, dividing land to farmers and developing special products, but there was little improvement, and he was so emaciated that he was ready to resign.
As for Naoxiu's agronomy, he also has the idea of trying again if it works, and if it doesn't work, he will completely pull it down, resign and go home and wait for the opportunity.
Oguri Tadashun is from a family.,Cultivated according to the far-away country since he was a child.,Quite familiar with the economy.,Although limited to age on paper.,But after all, it's also well-informed.,He listened to an introduction from the East and scratched his head.,But he's not in a hurry.,After asking a few words, he looked at Naohide with a smile.。
The first time Oguri summoned Naohide was because Naohide cured Nishimaru-like Fugui disease, and Naohide was still a second half of the house at home, and then Naohide quickly caught up with Egawa Tanan, and was promoted to the flag book within two or three years, which attracted Oguri's attention, and according to his father's head of the family, Tadaka's idea, Naohide was trained to be his son's assistant.
Oguri and Naohide took a look at it and found that Naohide really had some talents. Although Egawa Tanan looks a little pedantic at the top of the shogunate, everyone admits that Egawa is a capable person, and as a result, Egawa also asks Naohide to guide Rangaku, which shocks Oguri quite a lot, and before he knows it, Oguri has treated Naohide as an equal - Oguri is young after all, and he is quite noble and distressed, and he feels that his talent is covered by his illustrious personality, so he has a good impression of Naohide who is of a similar age and quite talented.
Although Rihachi didn't say how much money Naohide made from Kinokuniya, he also told Oguri a lot of Naohide's deeds, so Oguri knew that although Naohide was not greedy for money, he was also a character who couldn't afford to be unprofitable, and he held back in Tosa for a long time, and he didn't see what Naohide wanted to do.
Later, when he saw Naohide and Caiya hooking up, he thought that this was Naohide's plan, and he was very dismissive, although the sake business was big, but if this was what Naohide was trying to do, then this person would be too small. But to the surprise of the little chestnut, Naohide didn't make any benefit in the sake business, and even the windmill business was introduced to Rihachi, so he was even more confused about Naohide's plans in Tosa, so he pinched his nose and followed Aki-gun to see what tail Naohide could show in the end.
"Naoxiu is dull, but there are three strategies for Yoshida-kun."
Hearing this, Oguri, Yamauchi, and Yoshida were overwhelmed, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also quite popular in Fuso as a legendary story, and these three almost didn't jump up and beat up Naoxiu, as a flag book, you look a little good.
"Please advise", the green tendons on Yoshida's forehead jumped a few times, I will listen to what you say first, how can you give you a little hardship if you talk nonsense, let you know how powerful the master is.
"The next policy is to persuade farmers to be evenly distributed", Zhixiu glanced at the three of them, the three of them were expressionless, and Zhixiu said that he didn't know how to do it, straw bales *3.
"The middle strategy is to develop domestic production", Oguri and Yoshida nodded, and Yamauchi was still at a loss.
"The best policy is to open up education, colonize and prosper, and promote regardless of the family
Talent. Naoxiu didn't care if others could understand it, and he began to explain endlessly.
Anyi County is sparsely populated and cannot achieve anything in agriculture, but at least it is necessary to ensure self-sufficiency in basic food.
It doesn't matter if there is a lot of sandy land, Satsuma taro does not pick the land, as long as the fertilizer is guaranteed, it can still be harvested. In order to supply rice, rice has been planted in many areas that are not suitable for growing rice in Angui County, and this must be reversed, and it can be explained to the feudal government that the land rent should be reformed and the form of rent collection should be flexible. Yoshida agreed, and Yamauchi said that it could be considered.
In addition, the crops suitable for planting in sandy land are eggplant, Nanjing bean, watermelon, lotus root, and Tang pear, and the Chinese medicine herbs suitable for planting are astragalus, skullcap, oak building, licorice, parsnip, sand garden, salvia, codonopsis, etc., and suitable fruit trees are walnut, pear tree, jujube tree, red fruit.
"What is the use of Tang pear seeds? What is a red fruit? Toyonobu Yamauchi interjected in the middle.
Karashi is a tomato, which appeared in Japan around 1670 and was originally called Karashi or coral eggplant, and like Europa, it was first used as an ornamental plant and was rarely tried, and there were prejudices such as "the smell of human flesh" and "the red color is reminiscent of blood".
The red fruit is hawthorn, which is rare in Fuso, and the red fruit transported from China is regarded as a medicinal material.
Tomatoes are sweet and sour, rich in nutrients, and the later generations of sugar-mixed persimmons, fish sauce soaked tomatoes and mushu persimmons are widely popular, as for hawthorn, hawthorn chips, hawthorn cakes, sugar gourds are also popular snacks.
Mr. Tanan listened to Naohide's suggestion and promoted the cultivation of Karashi and hawthorn in Izu two years ago, and Oguri tried both, and he despised Yamauchi's lack of learning and skills.
In addition, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, there are mountains and seas in Anyi County, and Naoxiu suggested vigorously developing the planting, sericulture and fishery represented by the tea industry.
Especially in the fishing industry, Naohide directly took out the products of salted herring roe, salted salmon roe, and salted cod, anyway, the practice of honoring the house has spread in Edo, and it is no longer an exclusive business, so he is not distressed.
In this regard, Yoshida smiled bitterly, he has begun to promote tea planting and silkworm raising, but the problem is the lack of start-up capital; As for the fishery, shipbuilding is still a small problem, the key is preservation, the current means of preservation are salt, rice bran and soy sauce, rice bran is eaten by people at this time, and soy sauce and salt are so expensive, so Aki-gun can only eat dried fish, the most produced is the bonito, which is called "fish mummy" in later generations, and can be shaved into wooden fish flowers to cook soup and drink.
"I have a way to make salt in Aki", Naohide laughed, although the coast of the Seto Inland Sea with little rain and sunny weather is the salt making land of Fuso at this time, but Aki-gun is different from other places in Tosa, Tosa is rainy, but Aki-gun is relatively better, and the place famous for growing eggplants in later generations must have plenty of sunshine.
Salt is valued as a commodity, and Oguri glared at Naohide, but because many daimyo territories in the Seto Inland Sea produce salt and are not exclusively controlled by the shogunate, it is okay, but Oguri vows that in the future, he must let Naohide discuss with him before talking nonsense.
Yamauchi and Toyo's eyes straightened when they heard that salt could be produced, and Naohide quickly explained that because of the limited conditions in Aki County, the yield of salt ponds will not be very high, and it is estimated that it can only be used by Tosa as a country, and Yamauchi and Toyo said that it will be okay, if they can produce salt by themselves, Tosa will save thousands of taels of gold a year, not to mention that some of the poor people can't even afford to eat salt, and it is also the Yamauchi family who is immoral.
The most important thing in the salt drying method is the selection of salt ponds, which requires high salt concentration, long sunshine time and little rain. In addition, last but not least, it is necessary to purify it, and now that the salt-producing areas such as Osaka are able to produce snow salt by boiling, Naohide told Yoshida that if you want to produce snow salt, it is better to use charcoal as a fuel, otherwise it will cause mudslides if you cut down more trees.
Yoshida doesn't know exactly how this works, but the Fuso people of this period already knew about tree cutting
Logging too much will cause disaster, so he nodded and agreed, and the Uwajima domain next door has charcoal, and it is really acceptable if you can't use coarse salt.
Zhixiu's method of building a salt pond is seawater cement, but there are very few bauxite mines in Fuso, and Zhixiu doesn't know where to find it, but you can add volcanic ash, fly ash, and mineral powder to waterproof in the cement principle, as for seawater corrosion, there is no good way, so you can only accept it.
The cement salt pond is much better than the current mud bottom salt pond evaporation effect, Naohide first said that cement has been mass-produced in Saga and Nirayama - in fact, the output is very low, the production method can be given to Yoshida, Oguri is already angry on the side, it is not Yoshida has a girl who wants to marry you, Naohide, you are also generous, and you will say everything.
Naohide also wants to talk about the method of selecting the best breeds - he has considered the wagyu beef, and there is no market for meat beef at all, so only the best breeds of Kobe's four specialties have not been taught to others.
Oguri couldn't hold back any longer, he coughed, and then said that the amount of alcohol was uncomfortable, and Naohide had to accompany Oguri to say goodbye.
"I see that you are still unsatisfied, what else do you want to say?" Back at the temporary accommodation on the side, Oguri questioned Naohide.
"I still know a little bit about silkworm raising, fermented black tea should also be taken out now, iron and steel, Tosa is very famous for fighting knives, I don't know if Yoshida can make it?" Naoxiu squirted saliva all night, and the conversation was thick.
Xiao Li laughed angrily, and Naohide realized that something was wrong, not to encourage himself, but to be dissatisfied with saying too much.
"China has the verses of the Qin people and the Chu people bow in the world, have you ever heard of Xiaoli Palace?" Naoxiu stepped forward and said solemnly.
"I haven't smelled it."
"If a man leaves a bow, he will get it. What about this statement? ”
"From Confucius's family language." Xiao Li has been on the Changping Spring, received Confucianism, of course knows the allusion of the Chu people's bow, in the allusion to the death of the Chu king bow but did not send people to look for it, said, "The king of Chu lost the bow, the Chu people got it, what do you ask for!" ”。 Therefore, he was praised for his broad-mindedness, but Kong Sheng thought that the king of Chu was not broad-minded enough, "It is a person who loses the bow, and it is also a person who gets the bow, so why bother whether it is a person from Chu who gets the bow?" ”
The Fuso samurai paid the most attention to the amount of weapons, and at every turn it was Nobunaga Gong who was brutal but had the amount of the world's people, and thought that the amount of weapons represented a person's vision and mind, and that nothing could be done without the amount of weapons! But in real life, there are few natural disasters in Fusang, so there are many people who are eating in the bowl and staring at the pot, and there are many narrow-minded people, which is in line with the saying "what is lacking is touted, and what is touted is lacking".
Xiao Li heard Naoxiu mention the allusion of the Chu people's bow, and he felt a little weak, he didn't seem to have enough equipment, but he was still a little unconvinced.
"The Qin people in the world and the Chu people bowed, and gave their heads to Ma Tong in vain. How could Providence favor Liu Ji? The king lost his plan and fell in love with Koto. Urging Hangu to call the Western Emperor early, why bother Hongmen to kill Pei Gong? In order to indulge in the fire of Xianyang in March, let him Lou Jing say Guanzhong!"
"This is made by Mr. Wang Zhitan", as long as the high-level samurai of Fuso are not uneducated and unskilled, they are proficient in Sinology, and Naohide does not need to explain the specific meaning to Oguri. He told Oguri that it didn't hurt to hand over Ranxue's new things to Tosa for three reasons:
First of all, all the things that were circulated by Naoxiu were collected and sorted out by Naoxiu, and there was no leakage, and in addition, the methods of making these orchids were handed over to Mr. Egawa Tanan;
Secondly, the manufacture of these orchids is easy to refine, and it is not something that one country and one feudal clan can afford to invest in the future, and the final outcome can only be joint investment, and the majority of the money has to be invested by the shogunate, and the benefits cannot be run away in the end;
In the end, Naoxiu said that he only hated that the development of Lanxue was too slow, and he was afraid that he would not be able to respond to the emergency, but he was afraid that there would not be many people involved.
"The disease of Fusang is in the stomach and intestines, and if it is not cured, it will be profound. When things come to an end, you need to be bold, and you have no way to turn back. ”
"How arrogant! Lao Zhong didn't dare to say this. Oguri was furious when he heard this.
