Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 841 Layout (fourth update)
"Abe Tadaaki, your Edo Bank is booming, why are you still frowning?"

Sakai Tadakatsu came to the Bank of Edo with dozens of samurai.Through the reform of the shogunate, he saw the hope of the shogunate, and the shadow brought by the Kyushu Army gradually dissipated.He believes that through the efforts of the reform faction, the shogunate will eventually be able to compete with the Kyushu Army.

"Dayuer from the Tokyo branch personally escorted more than a dozen carriages to our Edo Castle...I always feel that she wants to make trouble, Sakai-kun, what do you think?" Abe Tadaaki, the president of the Edo Bank, asked with a bitter face. Sakai Tadakatsu asked.

Although he felt that Da Yuer wanted to make trouble, he couldn't figure it out.

There are so few clues for him!It is only known that dozens of soldiers from the Beiyang Fleet and a dozen carriages arrived at Edo Castle.It is not even clear what is loaded on the carriage.

"She is just a girl, so there is nothing to worry about. The reason why we were afraid of her a year ago was because we didn't know her identity and purpose. But after I went to China, I knew she was just a member of the Kyushu Military Household Department It's nothing more than an ordinary official. She came to Japan just to serve as the vice president of their Tokyo branch. And in the past year, facing your competition, isn't she the same as that Qian president? The Tokyo branch has been completely trampled by Edo Bank. It's under your feet." Said Tadakatsu Sakai.

"Your argument is not unreasonable, but a dog that bites does not bark, and underestimating the opponent will pay a heavy price." Abe Tadaaki said worriedly.

"Send someone to monitor her more. If you find it difficult, you can find a way to get rid of her. I came to the bank this time to get a loan to study steam engines. The trains, iron-clad ships, and textile machines of the Kyushu Army cannot do without steam engines as power. All the steam engines in our current factory are purchased from Chinese businessmen, and their skilled workers are responsible for maintenance. Our people do not understand their principles and structures at all. Therefore, I need a fund to set up a special factory to independently Develop steam engines and break the Kyushu Army's monopoly on us." Said Tadakatsu Sakai.

"Mr. Sakai, you have already taken away nearly 100 million taels of silver from our Jianghu Bank. We are also in short supply here. Most of the deposits have been handed over to you." Abe Tadaaki frowned.

"The purpose of the establishment of the Edo Bank was for us to prepare for the factory. The construction of the factory requires a lot of money, especially the purchase of machines from the Kyushu Army, which costs money like water!"

Tadakatsu Sakai was angry when he said it. In order to build the factory, he had to buy machines from the Kyushu Army at a high price, which was almost three to ten times the market price, so that 100 million taels of silver was not enough!
"The purpose of developing the steam engine is also to break the Kyushu Army's monopoly on machines. In the future, we won't have to buy machines from them at exorbitant prices." Sakai Tadakatsu said.

"Okay, I also need a sum of 5 taels of silver, which can be used for you to develop steam engines temporarily." Abe Tadaaki thought for a while, and said painfully.

"5 taels is not enough, at least 10 taels." Sakai Tadakatsu said.

"10 taels! Sakai-san, you are embarrassing me... Well, I will find a way to attract more deposits. But the factory must make a profit next year, otherwise our Edo Bank will not be able to pay interest to depositors." Abe Tadaaki said.

"Our locally produced products will definitely sell well in the local area. Please rest assured. Even if 100 million taels of silver is poured into the sea, the echo will be heard, right?" Sakai Tadakatsu is not very worried.

The goods produced by Dongying's local factories don't have to bear the cost of transoceanic transportation, so I don't believe that they can't compete with Chinese products.

"I hope so." Abe Tadaaki was full of thoughts.

In a rice shop in Edo Castle, Mitsui, the owner of the rice shop, received a big client.

"Two thousand shi of rice?! Sir, your order is too big. I have to send someone to the granary to check if there is enough rice." The owner of the rice shop hesitated when he received the large order, "Should it be based on the market price?"

"Yes, the two thousand shi of rice are all bought at the market price."

Another rice shop, another big customer came: "Three thousand stones of rice."

"A thousand shi of rice! What? You only have [-] shi? Eight hundred shi."

"Five hundred shi of rice!"

The large and small rice shops in Edo Castle were swept away almost at the same time.Most of the granaries of these rice shops are outside the city and were transported away directly.

Inside the Tokyo Academy, Tanaka Chengichi, the leader of the Huaxia Society, was sitting under a tree, surrounded by several new members of the Huaxia Society.

"The higher-ups have prepared a big operation to make the shogunate lose the support of the people. We will be the main force in this operation. If we can gain the support of the people in this operation, the influence of our Huaxia Society will be further expanded. By then, the Kyushu Army They also have to accept us and accept my plan of 'removing barbarians and entering China'."

Tanaka Chengyi marked three places on the ground with a branch: "You take people to the rice shop, so...you take people to the bank...and your team is the most important, you must spread the news. Do you understand? ?”

"Understood!" Several backbones responded.

"Split up! Last year, the killers sent by the shogunate killed all the old backbones, and I was almost the only survivor. Since you are willing to follow me on the road of resisting the shogunate, please put your life and death aside!" Tanaka Cheng Yi swept over these backbones, and saw firmness in their eyes.

The Huaxia Society, which was an enemy of the shogunate, was not defeated by the shogunate, but instead promoted a group of loyalists who followed him, Tanaka Chengichi.Most of these people are poor children who have been bullied by the samurai class, but they are about 20 years old, the most vigorous and reckless age.

Disintegrate the shogunate step by step, and avenge the comrades who died in Huaxia before!Tanaka Cheng's resentment towards the shogunate deepened, and he himself almost died in the hands of the shogunate's killers.

The backbone of the Huaxia Society quickly sneaked into various places in Edo City with the members of the Huaxia Society.

Huang Zongxi, the dean of the Tokyo Academy, with his hands behind his back, shook his head when he saw Tanaka Chengichi and others leaving the Tokyo Academy.He was originally sent by Chu Yun to educate the people here, but many of the students he trained joined Tanaka Chengichi's Huaxia Association to fight against the shogunate.The conflict between the warrior class and the poor peasants was very intense.

If ordinary people collide with the samurai's guard of honor, the samurai will kill them on the spot without guilt.That's why Sakai Tadaki even dared to provoke Dayuer that day.

"The shogunate is not something they can deal with... I hope they don't die." Huang Zongxi couldn't dissuade Tanaka Chengichi and others, so he had to protect them through the Tokyo Academy.
