Actually, Naohide knows, don't look at it as a self-made man, but there are still many people in the white lord's family who have new ideas, especially those who came to the North Land as adults, and they are quite afraid of the shogunate - the so-called "bad things are all done by traitors, and the lord is just unaware of it for a while and is blinded", this set of East and West is very slippery.

Really, Naoxiu is also very puzzled, this mouthful of food and clothes are all earned by everyone's hard work and calluses, why are you thanking others? Even if you are grateful, there must be a reasonable reason.

As a result, when he asked, his nose was crooked—many of the people said in unison that it was good to follow the good governance of the lord, and the shogunate that appointed the lord was certainly good.

This change in people's hearts is really not a day's work.

Fortunately, relying on the enlightenment and political education of the township school and the promotion system pursued for many years, this opening has become wider and wider, and many immigrants have complained that the people in Fusang have been living poorly recently, and the generation of Zhixiu's "wolf-hearted dog lungs" has fallen into the situation of betraying relatives.

But Hakodate's Tokori Toshiki is different, he was born in a big banner, and he has been favored by the shogunate since he was a child, so he definitely can't change easily.

So after the Battle of Aihui, in early June 1860, Hori Toshiki, who had returned to Hakodate, came to the door and questioned Naohide:

"The so-called greater power brings great responsibility, how can you hide so much strength? After eating, turn over the bottom of the bowl, what are you doing here? ”

This can embarrass Jiang Chuan Yingmin, who came with him, isn't this Jiang Gan stealing books, stealing chickens and rice, no, this is going to smash the pot.

Naohide is not in a hurry, he has no personal enmity with the shogunate, and he doesn't want to be a general of Zhengyi, so he can't say that he is also a great benefit, so what is there to be ashamed of. Besides, the difficulty of this modernization is wave after wave, wave after wave, why can't the moth come out, people are willing to come to the door to question, that is, to give face, to show that there is still a chance to be reasonable.

Taking this opportunity, Naohide gathered all the sages and gathered all the backbones of his own line, including Takeda Kaizaburo and other people who had taken refuge in the Harabox Pavilion Council, and all of them were transported to Toyohara in the North Ezo region, that is, the industrial base that Naohide took ten years to build - you built it? In this regard, Gakujiro and others smiled silently on the side.

Let's talk about what we should do in the future.

At that time, there were less than 40,000 people in North Ezo, but Fengyuan alone accounted for more than 30,000. This place is the painstaking efforts and foundation of the Naoxiu family, and it is forbidden to approach ordinary idle people, which is mysterious and abnormal.

So what secrets does Toyohara have?

Technical schools, high schools, universities, ordnance factories and research institutes of all kinds.

Generally, the children of the people can complete their primary education in local township schools, and then they can go to junior high school after excellent grades, most of which are completed outside Fengyuan. But if you want to go further, you have to go to Fengyuan, and after finishing high school, you were forced to study abroad for three years, and you can't run.

The White Lord's Acting Office was established at the end of 1850, and it took nine years to complete high school from elementary school, so the number of students enrolled in this high school was small, but the number of technical schools with the same degree as junior high school was large—because adults could also go to it.

As for the university, it is completely an empty shelf, nothing more than people who have returned from studying abroad in the past few years to do research in it, and even continue to learn from each other - in the past few years, there was a great shortage of talents, and the outstanding talents who finished primary school were sent to study abroad, so they saved some money,

If you don't say that you have to win over the box hall to Fu Hori Lixi, now that the students of this technical school are scattered, it is too difficult to continue to conceal this - it is okay to fool outsiders, but it is okay to fool the people inside.

As for the Ordnance Institute, the output in 1859 was 7,000 flintlock guns, 200 Mini guns, 50 breech guns, 50 Napoleon guns, 10 rifled guns and 10 breech guns, 50 mines, 40 machine guns, and the development of steamships and fish ~ pedoes was still being carried out at the same time - the shipyard was in Soya, but the research institute and factory were in Toyohara.

Although the shogunate's ordnance manufacturing was secret, it was large

It can also be estimated that now the Toyohara Armory Institute must be more than the shogunate's ironworks - the quantity is hard to say, but the quality is here, I didn't listen to the introduction, this breech gun is the world's leading, and the machine gun is the only (poisonous) part of the scorpion.

In addition to ordnance, the research institutes are also developing agricultural tools, textile machines, steam engines and other types of machinery, as well as agronomy, aquaculture, coal chemical industry, electric power, internal combustion engines, cosmetics, medicine and petrochemical industry.

This is the first time that the Naohide family has made the inside story public.,A lot of backbones who are not directly related to it have only been informed at the regular meeting of the annual meeting before.,This time I saw so many new things with my own eyes.,It's all exciting.,Not to mention Hori Lixi and others.,Where is this、Who am I?、What happened?

But then, Nakamura Gakujiro (Toyohara Industry Director and Academic Leader) and Shimada Uemon (Toyohara Town Commissioner), who were in charge of all this, began to complain that it was difficult to continue.

"That's not good, what's wrong? What is lacking is given. "Everyone patted their chests and expressed their full support.

But after learning the inside story, everyone was dumbfounded.

It turns out that the family background in the north is so thin, and this extra opening will immediately be stretched - in fact, not only the arms are bare, even the back is exposed, there is not enough money and talents. If you look at it again, when the Northland Divine Achievement is completed, I'm afraid that Fusang will have already changed from the sea to Sangtian, and I don't know what it looks like.

Hearing this, everyone understands that the Northland is now stuck at a critical juncture, and if you can't get through, I'm afraid it will end here-not to say decay, but you can't escape from mediocrity.

Although peace and security is a blessing, Fusang is now a bird-like, there are Westerners on the outside, and there are small courts in Kyoto jumping up and down, Qi Zhao and a series of people are ready to move, maybe one day they will fight, and they will endure it if they don't see hope, but they have to work hard to have a great future.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and there was only one solution, and that was to "make it public" - it was not that Hakodate handed over all the family funds to the shogunate, but engaged in fundraising, technology diffusion and talent introduction:

This fundraising, after a few years, everyone has also seen that the shogunate doesn't care about anything other than ordnance, and then raises money with the shogunate, how many catties do you drink? Therefore, if you lack money, you can only unite with wealthy businessmen or feudal clans from all over the world to carry out projects together;

Technology diffusion, it's simpler, just sell the results directly, but the key is that Fusang doesn't have a patent law, so it's quite knowledgeable how to collect money back;

As for the introduction of talents, it is naturally the promotion of Atlantic scholarship, even if the talents of the shogunate and the various feudal domains cannot be seduced, then there will always be missing talents from the private sector, and this will not be the living water coming in.

But here's the problem, Nagami wants to be beautiful, this box pavilion is still the territory of the shogunate, and Edo can do whatever you want? I'm afraid not.

"Why not?"

Hori Riki couldn't help but jump out by himself.

After reading everything, he had to admit that the shogunate had made progress over the years, but he couldn't take off the hat of "corpse vegetarian meal".

Moreover, he himself opened the Hakodate Ironworks, and he knew a lot about the industry, and knew that if the white lord really handed over everything to the shogunate, this leak would definitely come out overnight - the Nirayama Ironworks were dismantled, and a large number of personnel and equipment were diverted to the Yushima Cannon Foundry, Yokohama Ironworks, and Ishikawajima Shipyards, and what happened in the next two years has eyes and ears.

As for the reason inside, he knows that it is a factor of governance, and this is really a cheat for the lintel, so that those who don't know how to do it but can be an official can do it well. But he himself came from the shogunate's big body banner, so he can't turn against himself.

Therefore, Hori Toshiki felt that this "fundraising, technology diffusion and talent introduction" was very good, and the shogunate could immediately benefit without affecting the development of Hakodate, which was the best of both worlds.

After all, when Naohide wooed him before, Hori Riki felt that he was doing something out of the ordinary to support him

It's over, but he didn't expect that there was a cow behind the rope, which made him hesitate, he didn't object to the development of Lanxue, compulsory education, and even the whole people's soldiers, but it didn't work to plot against him - he was clothed and fed since he was a child, and his family was noble, and in the final analysis, the shogunate didn't have a place to be sorry for him.

Therefore, Hakodate decided to "make the private collection public", and he was the most recognized.

With Hori Toshiki's instigation, and the fact that most people did not oppose it, everyone finally decided to apply to the shogunate to set up a Western-style museum in Hakodate, and expand the Hakodate Ironworks, and transfer Toyohara's achievements step by step - it is obviously impossible to make it completely public, and it is obviously impossible to let Edo know what the white lord has done all these years, and not to chew the Naohide series of soy sauce raw.

On March 18, 1860 (April 8, 1860), Fusang was changed to "Wanyan".

In July of that year, Hori Toshiki accompanied Naohide back to Edo to report on his work.

Naohide was appointed as the Hakodate commissioner in August of the fifth year of Ansei (1858), and it has been two years since then, and he must return to Edo to pay an explanation.

On the boat, Hori Rishi is so beautiful, because Naohide told him that this time he will return to Edo and resign from the table, and he is ready to nominate Hori Rishi to take over as the Hakodate commissioner.

Hori Rishi didn't want to be an official, he saw that Okubo and Hori Shitaka (Nakamura Gakujiro's name change) were better than him according to ability, and Egawa Hidetoshi was more suitable according to merit, but Naohide's move undoubtedly confirmed that he was not rebellious, and it strongly proved that the saying "stealing the stove as a last resort" was true, which was the reason for his happiness.

He has thought about it, and he will explain to the bigwigs, "Naoxiu has done a good job, so don't change people randomly." "Even if Edo insists on changing, he will nominate Youngtoshi to take over; really let him do it, he had no choice but to follow the rules, anyway, he slowly washed the white, and he couldn't let Zhixiu and others work hard but end up.

In the final analysis, this Hori Rixi has had a smooth life all his life, but he doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister.

He was the youngest son, and his three older brothers died young, and his parents cherished him very much. He came out very late, to the age of forty-three this year, but he only worked as the head of the small surname group, the imperial eye payment, and the Matsumae table royal (inspector), and then served as the Hakodate commissioner for more than three years and the Hakodate Metsu for two years.

The only setback he suffered on his way was being demoted to Hakodate Mesuke due to being beaten up by Rucia, but Naohide and Youngtoshi have always been respectful to him.

Therefore, Hori Rishi really doesn't know how treacherous people can go.

Actually, for such a big thing as resignation, can Zhixiu not notify his henchmen and partners?

At that time, everyone objected, "It's a good job, the shogunate didn't say anything, what did you do when you resigned?" Only Okubo smiled slightly, and Manjiro Nakahama was thoughtful.

"I'll take a step back, wouldn't it be logical for this box hall to be completely whitewashed."

Naoxiu insisted on the reason of whitewashing, and finally everyone agreed, "Of course, it's better not to move." But if you have to move, you have to be Egawa Youngtoshi to take over, the second, the second, then Hori Toshi-hee. At the same time, the box hall is tight outside and inside, and is ready for contingencies. ”

To be honest, Naohide really didn't completely deceive Hori Rixi and everyone:

Wouldn't it be nice if the shogunate could turn a blind eye in the future, gently let go of Hakodate's previous actions, and even learn from Hakodate's experience to fundamentally eliminate the malpractices.

But this daydream is too beautiful to be true, so Naoxiu's idea is actually to advance and retreat.

Naohide took the initiative to delegate power, and this gesture was made, so how should the shogunate be tolerant of one or two - Egawa Hidetoshi is unlikely, but Hori Hee is eight or nine percent sure that he will be reinstated.

This comes and goes, and the box hall can survive for two or three years, with a buffer of two or three years, presumably the strength of the north will be stronger, in the final analysis, Gou Shen is the right way.

As for saying that the shogunate did not agree, this can't!

This time, Naohide had carefully prepared a big move, and he didn't believe that the shogunate would not be moved.
