Chapter 1082 Rebuilding Edo Castle

"This place is where the future provincial yamen is located, and this place is where the Tokyo University Hall is located..." The city planner sent by the Kyushu Army to Edo Castle is re-planning Edo Castle.

I don't know whether the fire in Edo Castle was set on fire by Huaxia itself, or was instigated by the Kyushu Army behind it. Because the fire burned the core area of ​​Edo Castle, these places have become unclaimed land, so that there is no need to rebuild.

Edo Castle is positioned as a port city in the east of the empire in the future. It can trade with the North American colonies to the east, trade with the mainland to the west, have Hokkaido fishing grounds to the north, and communicate with Ryukyu and Yizhou to the south, occupying a relatively good geographical location. Location.

Therefore, the Kyushu Army specially sent city planners to build a new Edo City according to their own ideas.

A group of people came down from the Edo train station, and even the president of the Huaxia Club, Tanaka Chengichi, who is currently the director of the Han Culture Promotion Office in Dongying Province, came to greet him in person—the teacher of the Tokyo School represented by Huang Zongxi.They cultivated a group of young figures with anti-feudal spirit, such as Tanaka Chengyi.Even many of the backbone of the Huaxia Club are students of the Tokyo Academy, who were encouraged by Tanaka Chengichi to join the Huaxia Club.

"Sir, after I learned that you returned from Yokohama Port, I led the students to welcome you." Tanaka Cheng said to Huang Zongxi, who was about his age.

Huang Zongxi was about the same age as him, but his understanding and research on Confucianism and people-oriented thought were deeper than him, so that students such as Tanaka Chengyi respected him very much.

"Earlier, when there was turmoil in Edo Castle, many teachers and students and I went to Yokohama Port to take refuge. I really had the responsibility to escape." Huang Zongxi was quite emotional when he saw the peaceful Edo Castle.

"Mr. led teachers and students to Yokohama Port to preserve the fire of thought. Is it an escape? Now that Mr. returns to Edo Castle, he can cultivate a group of pillars of talent and send talents for the new government, which will have a greater effect." Tanaka Chengichi Said indifferently.

When Edo Castle was in turmoil, the price of rice in Edo Castle rose seven or eight times at most. Many students in the Tokyo Academy were poor, and they could not afford such a price of rice. So Huang Zongxi led the students of the Tokyo Academy to Yokohama, where singing and dancing were promoted. Only then did the teachers and students of the Tokyo Academy eat relief food.For this reason, many students of the Tokyo Academy are grateful to the Kyushu Army.

"The school building of our Tokyo school was burned down in the Edo fire, and the provincial government approved a temporary school for us. The new school building of our Tokyo school is still under planning, and it will be transformed into the Tokyo University next year It is." Huang Zongxi said.

"Tokyo University, is the teaching content different from the original school?" Tanaka Chengichi asked with interest.

"There are more natural subjects, and the university is based on the students' proficiency in Chinese. There is still no distinction between high and low in the Tokyo University, but there are more Chinese requirements. At present, most of the students in the Tokyo School can be promoted to the Tokyo University. The University Hall is the first batch of students, but in the future civilians will need to participate in the entrance examination and selection. After all, the teachers of the Tokyo University Hall are limited.” Huang Zongxi said.

"So that's the case, then before entering the Tokyo University, how should ordinary people learn Chinese and master the knowledge necessary for the assessment?" Tanaka asked.

"The new government divides Dongying Province into six prefectures and 42 counties. Each city must set up at least three Chinese private schools, and each county must set up at least one middle school Chinese school. Chinese private schools have the most basic Chinese courses, and middle school Chinese schools Have the necessary knowledge to participate in the entrance examination of Tokyo University." Huang Zongxi said.

"Isn't it necessary to set up hundreds of private schools and more than fifty schools in the whole province? With such a large scale, maybe my position as the director of the Han Culture Promotion Department is really important." Tanaka Chengyi understood that he now The Han Culture Promotion Office is a government agency responsible for cultural education, and private schools and schools, large and small, must participate in the construction and management.

Compared with the burnt Tokyo Gakudang Gakusha, the Tokyo branch of the Kyushu Bank was not affected by the fire, and the branch is still in the original street.

The core area destroyed by the fire was planned to be a future government and cultural site, while the street where the Tokyo branch is located was planned to be a commercial area.The Edo Bank, which was originally established by the shogunate, was bankrupt and liquidated, and the employees of the Tokyo branch had to allocate manpower to handle the debts of the Edo Bank.

"It's great that Edo Bank was not affected by the fire. I was afraid to see a pile of ruins when I came back." Da Yuer returned to the Tokyo branch where she had worked, and saw that the facade of the Tokyo branch was still the same, and became Jiang After the only bank in Hucheng, he couldn't help saying happily.

"Miss, when you were dismissed from the position of vice president, we thought something happened to you. Fortunately, everything is fine." The employees of the Tokyo branch are relatively close to Da Yuer, and they all said when they saw her come back.

"I just came to Edo City to stay for a while, and I think I will return to the capital soon. If I have a job in the capital in the future, I will still visit you if I have time." Da Yuer said.

"It's good to work in the capital. After all, the capital is the center of 21 provinces in one capital. The future is limitless. Especially the Finance and Currency Committee where you are, the real power is light but the words are heavy. Maybe before the age of 30, you will be able to enter the Six Ministries Conference and become The minister who controls the national policy of the empire." President Qian also has high hopes for Dayuer.

Entering the Fiscal and Monetary Committee with a young qualification is a rare thing in itself.

"The six ministries are the heads of various important organizations. Where do I have the qualifications to enter, let's take a step at a time in the future. I think the Tokyo Branch has become the designated bank of the provincial government, and the future has a brighter future. Dongying Province has With a population of 1000 million, even if each person deposits one tael of silver in the bank, that is 1000 million taels of silver." Da Yuer said, "And the finances of the Eastern Province will also go to the account of the Tokyo Branch in the future. There must be no more incidents of stewards fleeing with money."

"Our Tokyo branch has launched an internal self-examination because of the last incident, and we are determined that there will be no more incidents where the manager bluffs outside in the name of the bank." President Qian couldn't help but blush when talking about the last incident. .

"I heard that the head office will soon cooperate with geologists from the Imperial University to take over gold and silver mines such as Iwami Ginzan, Sado, and Ikuno. It is estimated that the annual production of silver can be about one million taels of silver. These are estimated to go to the Tokyo branch. "Da Yuer mentioned another important news.

"The resources here in Dongying are not very rich, but there are quite a lot of gold and silver mines." The employees of the Tokyo branch all know the resources in Dongying.
