Volume 1 The Cry of the First Trial Chapter 71 Who is the Great Hero in the World?

Zhixiu used the words of "Bian Que Meets Cai Huangong" to satirize current affairs, and Xiao Li instinctively became angry after hearing it, because what is the stomach disease? It was Bian Que who ran away and Huan Hou died, and Zhixiu was "alarmist".

As the big body banner of the shogunate, don't look at the usual Xiaoli also thinks that a group of high-ranking shogunate officials don't do their jobs, but he really didn't think that the shogunate would fall.

There is no need to talk nonsense in the opinion of smart people, Naohide looked at Oguri quietly, and Oguri stared at Naohide viciously, but after a while, Oguri was deflated by himself.

Oguri knew that the difficulties faced by the shogunate were not only like this, but also external troubles - internal troubles were the culmination of various natural and man-made disasters, and external troubles were the constant intrusion of the ships of the Nanban.

There were more than 150 famines during the Edo period, 21 of which were particularly severe, the most recent of which was the "Tenpo Killing" in the 4th to 10th year of Tenbo, and the grain failure in various regions continued until the 14th year of Tenpo (1843).

Every time a major murder is accompanied by a "one-beat-up" that has been flocked by the people, and more than 150 one-shot attacks have broken out in the Tianbao murderous work, and the "chaotic party" headed by Heihachiro Oshio is the most violent.

But so what? Can it be compared to the Tianming murder? The Tenmei Murder in the 2nd to 8th year of Tenmei was the biggest famine since the Tokugawa Shogunate, and it is said that more than 100,000 and more than 200,000 people died in the northeastern part of Honshu Island alone. Didn't the seven-cent provident fund and the "rice system" (often close positions) created by the Seven-Cent Provident Fund and the "Wai Rice System" (Chang Ping Position) created by the Tenmei Seventh Year of the Celestial Dynasty play a major role?

But the external invasion is really getting more and more scary.

The Battle of Canton, which took place between the 11th and 13th years of Tenpo (2 years), shook the top of the shogunate to an unimaginable extent. The great power and behemoth on the other side of the sea was actually defeated by the Southern Barbarians? Forced to sign the regulations for the opening of the port? So what if the Nanban came to fight the shogunate? Pray for the blessing of the kamikaze again? I'm afraid it won't work the third time.

In addition to the endless whaling ships, the Nanban ships that asked the shogunate to open the port often appeared, the rice ship Morrison in the eighth year of Tenpo (1837 AD) was repelled by shelling, and last year in the first year of Hongka (1844), the Frisian ship arrived in Naha, the Ryukyus, asking for communication, trade, and proselytizing, and the shogunate had no choice but to accept the opinion of the Satsuma Shimazu family and accepted the request of the Nanban.

Isn't it Nagasaki and Edo's turn after this Ryukyus?

The shogunate's Laochu Council could not come up with any good solution to this, so it could only revoke the "Expulsion Decree of Foreign Ships" in the eighth year of Bunsei (1825) and promulgate the "Fuel and Fresh Water Supply Order", allowing various localities to provide supplies to the shipwrecked Nanban ships. Is this obviously just a fear?

In addition, Oguri also knew that last year, the first year of Honghua (1844), the warships of the Ranguo Kingdom arrived in Nagasaki, and the Emperor of the Ranguo wrote a personal letter to the shogunate to persuade the shogunate to open the port, "In the current situation, if we do not form an alliance with the Western countries and make a deal, the warships of various countries will come to the country." As the shogunate's only partner of Western trade, the Rankoku maintained contacts from the opening of the Tokugawa family, and the friendship has continued to this day, and the credibility is very high, for which there was quite a lot of fighting among the upper echelons of the shogunate.

First of all, the public party promoted the former chief Mizuno Shikibu Shosuke who had abdicated on the grounds of foreign disputes and re-appointed the chief of the old middle school, but Mizuno has lost his former sharpness, often saying that he is sick and does not serve the council, and the old Naka Doi Rishi, who has been in opposition to Mizuno, voluntarily resigned, and the director of Edo Minami Town, Torii Yaozo, was dismissed and investigated.

At the same time, the head of the Mito Tokugawa family, Qi Zhao, was ordered to retire and be confined to the Imperial Three Family, and the apparent reason was that the iron cannon salvo and the dispute between the gods and Buddhas in the territory were privately heard, but I heard that it was because of this request that the shogunate withdraw the "ban on the construction of large ships", build large ships to re-establish the naval army, and asked to shell all foreign ships and build forts in various places, and the sky-high cost frightened the old and middle school people.

Oguri was not very worried about the visit of the Nanban, he used to be like many genealogy daimyo and big body banners, and felt that Fuso was far away from the mainland, and he had more than enough self-preservation, so he also hugged it

Optimistic thoughts, "There are many countries in the world, about China, Goryeo, Lucia, Lan, England, France, and Tianzhu, and the rest are all intrigued by traitors to intimidate the ears of the shogunate."

But in the past two years, Oguri has had more contact with Mr. Egawa Tanan and Naohide, and gradually has a basic concept of the world, especially Naohide to Murata, Toranosuke, and Gakujiro to open a small stove, and talk about overseas scenery every few days, he was instilled with a lot of knowledge in half-belief, steam engines, trains and Jenny looms or something is too scary, especially Naohide's context is clear, unlike other orchid scholars who say that they are all over the world, and he saw Naohide produce cement and other orchids with his own eyes. Subconsciously, he believed that Nao-su was not exaggerating, at least not by much.

In particular, the tragic situation of the African continent, the rice continent and the Tianzhu continent often appeared in Oguri's dreams, and he also felt in a trance that this was "a great change unseen in thousands of years", and the shogunate would take jujube pills if he didn't want to make progress.

It's easy to scold Naohide, but what Naohide does is really beneficial to the shogunate and not for his own personal gain, and Oguri can't think of a better way than Naohide, just scolding has a ghost use, thinking of this, Oguri sighed.

Naoxiu didn't have the idea of a showdown with Oguri now - the key is to compare the size of the showdown, Naoxiu has a group of cats of three or two, and they have a showdown by face? Also for what is the showdown for? The tiger's body was shocked, and Xiao Li bowed his head? Whoever thinks so, come to the urine yellow and quickly wake him up.

"Hey~", thinking of this, Naoxiu couldn't help but sigh too, amusing Oguri.

"You talk about today's upper, middle and lower three strategies", Oguri's vision is much stronger than that of Yoshida Toyo and Yamauchi Toyonobu, and he suspects that Naohide Sance has something to do.

Xiao Li is not wrong, Naoxiu is using the three strategies as a metaphor for the current mainstream governance thought.

"Persuading farmers to be on the same land" is an old talk, and it is the mainstream choice at present, and the representative figures are the victorious Kakero Nakamatsudaira Shoshin during the period of the lenient government reform (3 years) and the current chief old Nakatsuno Tadakuni. This group of people wants to revitalize agriculture by ensuring that most people have enough to eat before thinking about anything else.

The representatives of the "development of domestic production" were the old Nakata Mara Yoshiji before the Kansei reform, the Satsuma Domain's Tsukisho Hirogo, the Choshu Domain's Murata Kifu, and the Saga Domain's Nabeshima Saimasa. These people have a preliminary market concept, hoping that "the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency with more than is lost", to realize the exchange of commodities with local specialties, to promote production, and to regulate market supply.

In fact, there is no conflict between "persuading farmers to equalize land" and "developing domestic production", and adults can want both. But there is a contradiction that is not easy to solve in later generations, the income of merchants and craftsmen is much higher than that of farmers, and the profits of cash crops are higher than the profits of food crops, and later generations rely on laws, universal education and social security to curb windfall profits and serious injustice, and rely on natural elimination to achieve social division of labor, in addition, the productive forces of later generations are developed, and there are many options to solve problems, but at this time, Fuso, heavy mercantilism often caused the overall decline of agriculture, why do you earn more than me with the same hard work? Samurai and farmers had great opinions about merchants and craftsmen.

In addition, the shogunate adopted a feudal system, and the princes in each region had their own small abacus, so the conflict became more intense, and the trade blockade caused by the lockdown of the country, so the shogunate fell into a strange circle of chaos, and any measures could only be held for a while, and then quickly became ineffective.

Naohide had talked about Malthus's "Theory of Population" before, and this time he carefully told Oguri, who also learned some folk situations through his father's work in distant countries, and he knew that the folk were prevalent in drowning babies and that there were many poor men who could not marry a wife in their lifetime, and Naohide gave him an analysis of the changes in rice yield and area in the early Edo period and the present, because he felt that Naohide's words were very reasonable.

"Will the plan be released?" No matter how much he said, he didn't come up with a practical solution, and Oguri also hoped that Naohide could give a way out.

"To promote agronomy, to develop domestic production, to develop Ezo, to promote orchid, and even to open up trade with foreign countries",

In fact, at the dinner, Zhixiu said, "The best policy is to open up education, colonize industry, and promote talents regardless of the family."

That's what you mean, otherwise why do you want so many talents? Do you play mahjong for infighting?

"The head of the main hall of Tanuma! Naoxiu, don't go down the wrong path!" Oguri groaned for a moment, feeling that Naohide's proposal was very familiar, and after a while, he suddenly realized that this was not the idea of the great traitor Tanuma Yoshiji. Tian Nuan started with a public side employment of people, and after being an old middle, he can suppress the big body flag book not lightly.

"Yuzi is delicious, what do hens do", Zhixiu could only smile bitterly, this Tian Nush Yiji can make future generations miserable. This old man is smart and clever, starting from the small surname of Nishimaru, and has a very close relationship with the public side, after Nishimaru became a general, he was promoted to the imperial side of the royal servant, he became the leader of the inner dynasty, and later the general appointed him as the old man, although he was not the chief, but he had real power. During his tenure, he encouraged the development of industry and commerce, collected commercial taxes, vigorously cultivated new fields, reformed the monetary system, promoted many lower-class samurai and even townspeople and farmers, popularized Lanxue, expanded trade with Languo, Chugoku and Goryeo, and even put forward a grand plan to develop the Ezo land by an additional 6 million stones.

Although he improved the shogunate's finances, because his father was from a small background, he himself was quickly promoted from a middle-level banner to a daimyo, and he had few political allies, and was squeezed out by many pedigree daimyo and daisei, and the son of his successor was hacked to death by Akimoto in the name of personal vendetta, and as soon as the shogun died, Tanuma completely lost power, and the official reason was that during the Tenmei murder, "the collection of money was the priority, and the people were all suffering from the harsh law." The frequent disasters here are the result of God's punishment and harsh government."

Tanuma Yiji is indeed very greedy, and the governance is too harsh, and the Satsuma Domain's mediation office Hirogo has a virtue, and the people don't starve to death, but they didn't expect the Tianming murder to happen, and many people really starved to death. The most important thing is that his backer, the general who grew up with him since childhood, died, so Tanuma will not be able to step down.

Naohide can't and doesn't want to overturn the case for Tanuma, after all, it's not good that the ancestors of the Oguri family can't deal with Tiannuma, and history has no ifs, and thousands of roads can only be taken in the end, of course, before choosing which way, maybe people's brains will be beaten out of the dog's brain.

"So what do you say?" Naohide can ask Oguri a rhetorical question, but it doesn't help, it's purely annoying with his mouth, so he hands Oguri another ladder.

"Tian Nua is also learning the story of the Preservation Period, but the amount of equipment is insufficient, and it is difficult to achieve a great cause."

Oguri's eyes lit up when he heard it, and the reform was a great success, and the host was the eighth shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune (reigned 1716-1745), the "ancestor of Zhongxing" of the Edo shogunate, and Yoshimune restricted the power of the middle and old people, and it was the era when the big body banners raised their eyebrows, which is good!

What's more, when Naohide said this, comparing the measures of the Gongfang Yoshimune and Tanuma Yoshiji together, there is really no difference: Yoshimune's Xiangbao reform was also to vigorously cultivate new fields, reform the monetary system, promote talents regardless of family status, promote Lanxue, and expand trade with Languo, Chugo, and Goryeo, and he introduced or promoted satsuma taro, potatoes, and Korean ginseng. As for "developing industry and commerce and collecting commercial taxes", didn't General Jizong also advocate "increasing production and developing industry"?

In addition, the shogun Yoshimune also created the "Mu'an box", allowing the people to put forward opinions and establish the Dojima rice market in Osaka, which was a pioneering move to regulate the price of rice, and the step was even bigger.

The more Oguri thought about it, the more beautiful it became, but he suddenly remembered that Tanuma Yiji and Naohide were very similar, both of them were related to Nishimaru, of course, Tanuma was Nishimaru's surname, Naohide just treated Nishimaru, Tanuma started with a flag book of 600 stones, and Naohide was a flag book of 30 stones, which can't be compared, but what if? Well, you have to be on guard.

Naoxiu saw Xiao Li's eyes roll and knew that he wasn't holding back any good fart, but Naoxiu was born with a hanging, and he was also holding back his big move.

"If Xiaoli Hall does great politics in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the ridicule of the muddy fields."

Oguri was directly fed dumbfounded, Naohide didn't say that he couldn't imagine that he was more similar to Tanuma Yiji! I am the flag book of 2,500 stones, a small surname like a public square, and Naoxiu is only thirty stones to become a middle-aged old is a daydream, I can hope more than Naoxiu, is it that Nittanuma is me Oguri Zhongshun, Oguri Lingling shuddered, Naoxiu, you go away I don't want to talk to you!
