Edo Traveler

, The fastest update of the latest chapters of Edo Traveler!

Tadaoemon, who has watched a lot of big river dramas in his previous life, remembers that when the black ship came to sail, the first one was Masahiro Abe, not Tadakuni Mizuno. If there is no accident, then Mizuno Tadakuni should step down and move to Abe Masahiro.

But it was the specific month and day that Mizuno Tadakuni stepped down. It is naturally impossible for Chuemon to remember. However, judging from the current situation, Mizuno Tadakuni's natural protection reform has completely entered a dead end, and it can be said to be of no benefit to the shogunate, and it is even accelerating the decline of the shogunate.

However, those Kachimoto samurai who can now be purchased for zero dollars still seem to support Mizuno Tadakuni as prime minister. How did he lose the support of people above these people?

I couldn't figure it out for a while...

"The price of tofu sold outside has risen again today..." Ajiu returned from buying vegetables and complained to Chungemon.

Chuemon is a "young master" who doesn't touch the sun with his five fingers and doesn't know how to cook at all. After moving out of Zhuliu's family, he invited Ajiu's mother and daughter to come home to cook and wash clothes, which is equivalent to hiring Ajiu as his own babysitter. When Ajiu's daughter grows up, he can take over as a babysitter again, and Chuemon can be a lazy dog. Anyway, labor is really cheap these days.

There are quite a few people in the family eating now, and there are usually three people like Chuemon, Hachiro Tano and Shintaro Terazawa, and Sukeruku often comes to eat. In addition, when Chungemon is resting, people come to visit almost every day, so more than ten people eat daily. The price fluctuations made Ajiu extremely sensitive.

You have to buy vegetables every day, so the price of vegetables every day falls into Ajiu's eyes.

"It's just a matter of one dollar and two dollars, and it's normal." Chungemon wanted to buy a piece of tofu, but instead of going out to eat tofu, it could rise from 298 to 680.

Bah baah baah bah, it's a drama!

"It's not the increase today, but the daily increase. Today's tofu is almost one and a half times the price of half a month ago." Ajiu broke his fingers and began to report roughly the amount of the price increase of various vegetables.

Not only the price of tofu has increased by 50%, but also miso, clams (soup), kelp (soup), salt, fresh fish, etc., which are closely related to common people’s lives. Almost all foods have generally increased in price by 100%. It's fifty, and the upward momentum does not stop at all.

It is necessary to know that Mizuno Tadakuni disbanded all the trade associations in Edo, and used the power of the shogunate as a guarantee to artificially lower prices and forcibly set the selling price range of goods. In a short period of time, prices did fall, and the purchasing power of the money that the samurai exchanged for rice seemed to rise.

But this is just an illusion. It's not that prices cannot be set officially, but the official needs to have strong administrative capabilities and control over the upstream and downstream channels of production and sales. Obviously the shogunate has no such ability. Since there is no such ability, prices will ultimately be determined by the market.

Edo has a population of over one million. With the current logistics methods, even delivering food to the city day and night, it may not be able to completely fill so many mouths. The slow and moderate rise in prices is an inevitable trend.

In the end, Mizuno Tadakuni found that he could not manage this matter at all, but at that time merchants and townspeople were also afraid of the swords and guns in the hands of the shogunate, so the price increase was still very small. What a big wave.

Now, good fellow, the shogunate is about to end, he is already extremely vicious without seeing him! Tomorrow the British will call, the general will be beaten to death by the British, and I am afraid that the shogunate will have a hammer.

The promulgation of the untimely "Frugality Order" completely intensified the contradiction between the shogunate and the merchants and townsfolk of Edo. On the one hand, the authority of the shogunate declined, and on the other hand, the shogunate expropriated the merchants and townsfolk.

Then, where would they abide by the official prices set by the shogunate, the money you samurai master robbed from me, I will raise the price so that you can return it back. Anyway, under the banner of Edo Castle, 80,000 riders, bring their family members, and at least 300,000 to 400,000 people are samurai and samurai family members of the shogunate. You deserve to eat high-priced dishes!

"The minds of the people are turning away from the shogunate!" Torajiro Yoshida, who was holding a book as if he didn't hear anything outside the window, suddenly walked in and said this.

"..." Chuemon didn't say anything to stop Torajiro, because he also felt that this was a fact.

Under a series of divine operations by Mizuno Tadakuni, he first offended the big merchants and merchants who borrowed for the shogunate, which greatly reduced the shogunate’s income from transportation and unpaid loans. Then the land seizure made the local rich peasants oppose the shogunate, and now it is because of the frugality order that the townspeople and small merchants in Edo are also offended.

As for the basic board he has always wanted to maintain, that is, the shogunate's Kachimoto samurai, he was quite supportive before, but when the samurai went up wildly one after another, the two money in the hands of the samurai couldn't even make a full meal. After that.

They will definitely hate Mizuno Tadakuni!

Therefore, in just a few years, Mizuno Tadakuni’s natural protection reforms caused him, the "Emperor Master" who had been holding him for decades, to lose the hearts and minds of almost all walks of life in the world, and he was completely disgusted by people.

"Trinjiro can't speak so bluntly outside." Chuemon commanded.

"I can save it naturally!" Although Toujiro is still young, he can clearly tell where he can and where he can't.

"What can be said and can't be said?" The room was a little dull, and Shuroku came uninvited. Anyway, he treated Chuemon's house as his own, so he pushed the door in.

"It's okay, I'll have dinner right away, let's eat together." Seeing Sukeruku, Chuemon was relieved. Even if his brother heard it, it didn't matter.

"Don't rush to eat rice, there is one thing about UU reading www.uukanshu.com!"

Sitting down, Sukerukami didn't have the people who came to visit Chungemon. There were only a few people who were close and familiar, so he didn't keep his voice down.

"Why? What new order has Hamamatsu Hou issued? Or is there any imperial emperor in the general?"

In the past few days, Mizuno Tadakuni and Tokugawa Ieki had also lost their heads. This dazzled Na Ling, really speeding up the accelerator pedal, allowing the shogunate to rush into the abyss faster.

"Neither, nor..." Zhuliu actually sold a pass.

"Hey, speak straight!"

"Our immediate boss, Lord Toyama, went to the city today to denounce the urgent administration of Hamamatsu Hall and torture the people. He has already resigned and was discharged and went home and retired." (History)

Good guys!

Yuanshan Yuanyuan is clearer than we can see. As the banner that Mizuno Tadakuni promoted, he is also one of his cronies, so he jumped out of the boat to survive!
