The joy of thrush is not enough for outsiders either.

The next day, Naoxiu was refreshed and full of ambition, and felt that there was nothing difficult in the world for a while.

"Sir, you don't love me anymore"*2, Katsugoro and Hayato ran to complain. When Katsugoro was ten years old and Hayato was nine years old, Naohide was very kind to their family in Kamiishihara Village, so when Naohide quit the guards of Kaneiji Temple, he abducted them back to Edo - after all, if the big cow can't find it, the little cow is also a cow.

Katsugoro is 12 years old this year, Hayato is 11 years old, and in the Edo period, at the age of 10, he could come out as a shopkeeper or a craftsman's apprentice, so the two children were also a little anxious - we were also grown up and could help.

Zhixiu didn't take them on the first two study tours, after all, they are young and frail, what if they get sick if they don't adapt to the soil, and now that they are a little older, it's better to take their apprentices with them. Hearing that Mr. agreed to set off for a study tour together, the two children cheered and went to show off to their wife Yingzi.

"Go together, the whole family together", under the righteous gaze of Yingzi, Zhixiu is still quite aware of current affairs.

For such a big thing as a study tour, it is very simple to make a decision in the Hori family - Naohide is the head of the family, Yingzi is the housemother, and the chic trip can go if you want to. And the Katsugoro and Hayato families are not short of money now, and they attach more importance to the future of the two children, and when they were sent back a few days ago, they asked Naohide when he would hold a retainer ceremony for the children to officially naturalize, even if the children were officially let go of Naohide, so Naohide's arrangements for them were also decided.

As for Toranosuke and Gakujiro, one is Naohide's cousin, and the other is his brother-in-law, and after Naohide was promoted to the flag, the two families also put a hundred hearts.

The study tour permit was received together with the marriage certificate, and everything was ready, and Naohide was ready to continue to go out to wave, but Oguri Tadashun gave him a surprise "surprise".

Oguri was very early, and at the age of sixteen he became a public guard--the age of the soul in the Edo period, which was calculated from the mother's womb, which means that the age is usually calculated according to the imaginary age. Oguri is nineteen years old this year, but he has been staying in Edo, and he has never even returned to his hometown of Kanda Village, Kamishu, and the farthest place he has ever been to is Izu Nirayama.

This is nothing, but I can't stop Naoxiu from visiting again and again, "The world outside the river seems to be very exciting", Oguri sprouted the idea of "Fuso is so big, I want to see it".

Oguri Tadashun belongs to the kind of person who "can't drag the cow back after making up his mind", the head of the Oguri family, Tadaka, originally wanted to give him a service position this year, and be a petty official to exercise, but at the insistence of Oguri Tadashun, Tadaka had no choice but to agree, and the only requirement was to find a companion, so Naohide was accompanied when he came to resign.

For being peers, Naoxiu is quite distressed, Oguri Tadashun is the master, or a master who has a more eccentric temper and is not good to serve. But other than that, there is nothing bad about Oguri, he can't do it to bully men and women, as for the hardships in the journey, Naoxiu with his beloved wife, how can it be hard? When he asked Saga for a boat, Naohide made a plan. Besides, the brand of the Oguri family is still very big, and the head of the family is the current Engoku Council, as long as you don't jump in front of the head of the Tokugawa Imperial Family, there will be flattery there.

The most important point is that when the Tokugawa shogunate fell, the top leaders were some masters who did not eat the fireworks of the world, and if Oguri could see the world this time, at least the future governing style would not be as strict as in history.

The key is that there is no room for a dilemma in Zhixiu, as a new flag, the old big body flag book and you are walking to give face, and dare to make a toast and not eat and punish wine?

Early in the morning of the 11th day of the month, Naohide dragged his family with six people, Oguri and his entourage, and a large group of people boarded the boat from Edo to set off on a study tour.

The passenger boat of Zhixiu is a dhow fishing boat, the space is not large, there are four boatmen on it, a bow, two sailors, a helmsman, plus nine people in the study tour, crowded full boarding, the bow heart said, "The old man will do it, I see how you sleep at night."

These boatmen were hired by Naohide through the Wedding Ceremony. Recently, Naohide instructed Shigeya to make jams, gummies, and jellies, and Kanta, the ruler, was very stammering with him, and the fishing industry in Edo Bay was quite developed, so he had already found six boatmen on standby - anyway, the money was Naohide, and there was no need to think about saving.

Before this could be set off, the two sailors on the boat were driven off the boat, and the bow of the boat was very unhappy, but the hand that received the money was on the hand that gave the money, and he could only obey his orders obediently.

Xiao Li has only been on a cruise ship in the past, and he was very excited to go to sea for the first time, although he didn't shout, but he still wrote several poems, and Naoxiu asked the two students to perfunctory him, and he accompanied his wife Yingzi.

Yingzi is the first time to take a boat, but unfortunately the poor family has never even been on a cruise before. It is said that the better the motor nerves of the person on the boat for the first time, the more likely it is to get seasick, I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, Yingzi vomited after getting on the boat, and the force of the Uraga Commission was inspected, holding the certificate of the temple "Temple Please", and after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't tell whether this crazy woman with a cloak and a crooked mouth and eyes, and a pale face was not herself, but fortunately, Naohide had already greeted Kijiro in advance through the opening pavilion, and Yingzi was not like a noble girl with rough hands and feet, and finally went out of the Uraga waterway.

In summer and autumn, the monsoon winds blow from the ocean to Fuso, and in winter and spring, cold winds from the mainland blow through Fuso. With the help of the north wind, the passenger ship arrived at Nirayama in one day, and Oguri was greatly surprised by this, the last time he came to Izu Nirayama from the land, it was not so fast.

Jiangchuan's Daikanyashiki was called "Edo Residence" in later generations, and it was very famous, known as the oldest mansion building in Fuso, and this time Naohide got his wish and moved in smoothly, he was quite proud in his heart, and put at least three digits of praise in the circle of friends in later generations.

When I arrived in Nirayama, I told Mr. Egawa Tanan that Mr. Tanan was interested in coke, cement, red bricks, green bricks, and refractory bricks, and Naohide had to come to the scene as a student to demonstrate it.

The materials have been prepared for a long time, not large-scale manufacturing, just a taste, as a land snake, this difficulty is not worth mentioning for the Jiang Chuan family.

In the early spring, there was not much farm work, and Egawa father and son, Oguri and Naohide began to play with mud every day.

The technical content of cement is not high, lime and clay are burned together, and the craftsmen who burn quicklime quickly make finished products, as for clinker grinding, the old men are not involved.

It's more interesting to burn bricks, crush clay, mix pulverized coal, stamping mold, Naoxiu personally got started, everyone was embarrassed to look at it, the mask was so small and it didn't matter, anyway, at the end of the day, everyone was disgraced - Oguri's entourage Zangba and Quan Roku recorded a black account for Naoxiu in the small book.

Mr. Tan'an said that it is not bad money, several ceramic kilns burned together, Zhixiu asked for an extra drying furnace, ten days later red bricks, green bricks, clay refractory bricks, dolomite refractory bricks have been made out, although the quality is poor, but at this time there is a good bicycle.

With refractory bricks, coke can be burned - kilns that are not made of refractory bricks are prone to collapse when burning coke. In the early days, Saga's Motoshima Fujio was quite embarrassed to burn his own charcoal, and it was very important to have a master or not.

There are many shortcomings of soil coking, long coking cycle, low coking rate, high coal consumption, high coke ash content, and heavy pollution, Naohide has been worried that Mr. Tan'an will give himself a big mouth after seeing the results, and when Mr. Tan'an picks up a piece of coke and is surprised, Naohide, who is hiding behind Yingzi, breathes a sigh of relief.

What should be taught and what can be taught has been taught, and the remaining details can only be improved by Mr. Tan'an slowly, and Naoxiu can't be counted on with half a bucket of water.

In fact, for Naoxiu, it is a dilemma to promote Mr. Tan'an to engage in Lanxue.

Mr. Tanan, like Oguri, has a tendon temper to the end - no way, his background is too good, and he has not been repeatedly beaten by society.

Mr. Tan'an is today's Lanxue master, and other Lanxue people are mainly blown away by the strong wind, just talking and not practicing, or engaging in medicine, good as Mr. Xuanpu and Mr. Hong'an, engaging in medicine, this patient is pinched in the palm of the doctor's hand, and there are not many who dare to oppose it clearly.

Mr. Kotanan likes to make iron and steel, make iron cannons and large cylinders, and build a fort "Odaiba", which is very easy to test whether it is successful or not, in short, it is really not a matter of one person or two people to engage in industrialization, even if Izu is counted, this financial and human resources are not good.

In the future, Saga engaged in Ranxue vigorously, but later the reverberatory furnace was built and could not be used, and the shipyard was built and could not be used, and it was not intended to be transferred to the shogunate.

Shimazu Qibin, who is known as "unsurpassed by the three hundred sons", is known as the first class of Fuso, including iron-smelting reverberatory furnaces, ore melting furnaces, drilling discs for opening holes in cannons, glass factories, forging factories, steam machine manufacturing offices, metal processing offices, mints, shipyards, textile factories, etc., and so on.

Mr. Tan'an's Lanxue is like a car without brakes, getting faster and faster, and if you can't stop in the end, you will inevitably have a car accident. If he could be persuaded, Naoxiu would have said it a long time ago, just because he couldn't persuade him, so Naoxiu could only promote Mr. Tan'an's Lanxue career, but this is not the same thing, when the fire is cooked in oil, and when it can't be burned, things can't be cleaned up.

So Naoxiu is going to draw a circle for Mr. Tan'an, and you can toss it in the circle, at least there is a bottom-up, so as not to fall into the Pacific Ocean.

With cement and bricks, at least the Odaiba Fort could be repaired - the shogunate was frightened after the future black ship visited, and invested about 750,000 taels of gold to build eleven Odaiba in Edo Bay, and the total cost accounted for about 20% of the shogunate's annual income, and as a result, only five were built by the time Mr. Tanan died of exhaustion, and the main reason for the delay was that it was too difficult to develop the boulders from the Izu Peninsula, and the roads were too poor and difficult to transport. This time there are bricks and cement, although there is no steel bar to cause the structural strength is not enough, but the steel bar is too late to develop, let's get a brick fort first, and then talk slowly, it is really not good to paste the stone chips.

Naoxiu was afraid that Mr. Tan'an's whimsy would be amplified again, and he also left two pits for Mr. Tan'an.

One is a coal mine, and he told his husband that the coal quality in the Kanto Plain was too poor, and recommended the Joban Coalfield, which is located in the current Fukuoka Kuroda family, and almost all the coal used in the Tokyo area after the Restoration came from the Joban Coalfield, so there is nothing wrong with starting to develop it now.

In fact, in the future, Takashima Coal Pit, Hashima Coal Pit, Matsushima Coal Mine, and Miike Coal Mine can all produce asphalt coal, which is better than the coal quality of the Joban Coal Field, but one is that it is difficult to develop on the island, and the other is that the shogunate likes the imperial domain very much, that is, this good belongs directly to me, these coal mines are all in the territory of the Saga Domain, and acquaintances are not easy to start after all.

As for the excellent coal mines in Ezo Land, Zhixiu has to keep it for himself.

In order to ensure that the shogunate had a bad hand on the Kuroda family in Fukuoka, Naohide, who had a bad heart, also demonstrated to Mr. Tanan how to make honeycomb coal, and the combination of straw powder and low-quality coal saved firewood.

Honeycomb coal is said to have been invented by a man named Wang Yueshan in Dezhou, China in the 20th century, and some people have verified that it was invented by Guo Wende in the mid-20th century.

Zhixiu told Mr. Tan'an that this honeycomb coal is good, pay attention to indoor use, there is a deadly gas generated, open more windows and release more gas, Mr. Tan'an waved his hand, so much smoke and dust, who uses this indoors, use charcoal. Zhixiu was angry, and in the end, it was Egawa Yingmin who broke the siege and promised to solemnly explain the matter when spreading honeycomb coal, so that the reputation of the Egawa family could not be ruined, and Naoxiu was relieved.

The second big pit is the horseshoe flame pond kiln, which has been used in later generations, and its longevity is definitely worth studying. Naoxiu only left the drawings, which is estimated to be enough for Mr. Tanan to play for a year and a half, saving him from always wanting to go on big projects.

When I got on the ship again, the staff was reduced to eleven people, six people from the Hori family, two people from Oguri and his entourage, and the bow of the ship and a sailman were retained-Toranosuke, Gakujiro and Oguri's entourage Kurachi and Gonroku were not less trained in this more than a month, and they could be used as sailors in a so-so way. Anyway, go along the continental line, and don't run to the open sea, no problem, well, no problem.
