Edo Traveler

"It's still not right. Knowing and doing things are handed down for thousands of years. It's not easy for thousands of years. Money disappears like smoke every day."

Tokugawa's thoughts on this meeting were very clear. Chuemon said that as long as he makes money himself, he will be done, and he does not need the shogunate's reward. However, if there is no reward at all, it will not reflect the kindness and generosity of Tokugawa's brothers, and furthermore, it will not be able to test the mind of Chuemon.

"His words are very different. One day, why do you need one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand knowing and deeds for picking pills?" Chuemon tried his best to speak frankly and honestly.

Even if you have rewarded me with the Zhixing Territory of one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand stones, what use is it? I may indeed be able to enjoy this point of Zhixing territory, but you rewarded it to me, in name, to leave it to future generations.

Does he need this one hundred thousand two hundred thousand to pick pills?

Obviously, considering the current situation of the shogunate, Shiwan probably doesn't need this idea at all. Although his future is not destined, it is definitely brighter than Chuemon.

"Hahahahaha, that's good..." The Tokugawa family caressed his palms and laughed, and the two of them went around in such a circle. This is the most true sentence, and the Tokugawa family wants to hear the most.

"Everything is up to your Royal Highness!" Tadaemon stepped back respectfully and saluted the Tokugawa family.

"It's easy to talk, and take the pills." The Tokugawa family smiled very happily.

Chuemon got up and went outside, and everyone was hiding far away. At this moment, when Chuemon came out, all the people who were observing secretly appeared outside the temple again. Knowing that the Tokugawa family still wanted to take a look at Shiwan, Alan hurriedly followed.

There is nothing to say later, but the Tokugawa clan gave Shimaru all the clothes he wore when he was a child. It is said that they are old clothes, but in fact, many of them were put away after only one or two wears. This session was all cheaper and picked up pills, which was completely large enough for him to wear.

Tokugawa Ieki didn't know whether Shimaru entered the city, or he knew that he hadn't said it. Hearing that the Chuemon family paid a visit to Tokugawa Isasu, he ordered Alan to take Shimaru into Ooku and see him. Aunt and uncle.

Needless to say, there were a lot of messy things. Everyone knows the importance of picking up pills to the Tokugawa family. It is not a big deal to give ideas and gadgets.

When the family arrived at home, there were dozens of servants and attendants who came from Edo Castle carrying cages. The Tokugawa three-leaf sunflower pattern decoration on the cages all announce their origins.

Outsiders speculated on how much this was rewarded to Chuemon. Only Chuemon was thinking that his own house might have to be remodeled, and two cloakrooms large enough have come out.

Not to mention the gossip, Chugoemon is at the temple today, and he dared to say that to the Tokugawa family. The main reason is that Konobu has already sent the definite news.

Now the manpower in Japan is not worth money at all. Some people carry big bags by Nihonbashi every day just to get a full meal. Even skilled workers are only paid so much better than skilled workers.

That is to say, because the workers in the gold mine have a high work risk factor, and the income of the gold mine is much higher than the future, they have considerable income, which can be regarded as a high-paying job.

After the news of Hongzhimai's discovery of gold veins returned, Qi Suga Qiyu began to recruit miners, but the miners did not deliberately recruit. Chuemon is in the middle of the chain. Isn’t our little friend Sukeruku serving as Edo-Minamimachi, but anyone who commits a crime in Edo must be sentenced to death as long as he is not brutal. All of them will be exiled for a thousand miles. Enter the Ezo exploration team.

To put it bluntly, it is a fake public for private benefit, detaining people and sending them to Hongzhiwu Jinshan as free miners. At the same time, after Chuemon allowed them to work for many years, they would be released and sent back to Edo by the official ship of the shogunate.

Of course, this is painting cakes. Tsarist Russia is doing the same in this era. Send the exiled prisoners to the gold mines of the Far East and Siberia. It is said that after five years and ten years, the exile is over.

That wants you to survive!

It is precisely because of this continuous investment and development that Hongzhiwu Jinshan has begun to take shape and can be fully profitable. As long as the news of Jinshan spreads out, within a few days, the vicinity of Hongzhiwu will become a town with a population of tens of thousands. Just like Sado, it is a small island without much resources. Because of the existence of Jinshan, it has become a large town with a population of 200,000.

It is extremely difficult to get money out of the shogunate, and we still have to find ways to open up our own financial resources in order to continue the following affairs.

………………

"Don't know what Chuemon does, as long as there are monopoly rights in the market?" Tokugawa Ieki murmured to himself while holding the secret report.

Obviously, the audience was talking about Tokugawa Iasa and Tadaemon, but the record of the conversation between the two appeared in front of Tokugawa Iamaki. As a general, he really has his own way.

It's a pity that now there is no one with whom to discuss with him. Mizuno Tadakuni is dead, and Ooka Tadagumi has been watching for a few days. The two most caring people are not there, so he can only consider it himself.

Judging from the statement of Chuemon, Chuemon seems to have a big "ambition." This ambition is not purely political ambition, but money or economic ambition.

The wages of avarice is death. This is quite normal. Tokugawa Iamaki himself is a greedy and lustful person, so it is not surprising that his son has an ambition to pursue money.

However, all Zhixing rewards have been rejected. Is this intentional?

Is it to pretend that you are selfless and have no thoughts of fighting for position, or to show your heart and show sincerity to your brother Tokugawa family?

Continuing to look through the report, Chuemon's last words quickly dispelled Tokugawa Ieki's doubts. The boy Chuemon is probably paving the way for Shimaru. As the only third generation of Tokugawa Ikei's direct bloodline, Shimaru is almost a foot on the throne of the general.

Chuemon did this, and he also meant to pave the way for collecting pills. Shimaru Taitai peacefully became the prince or the lord of Hitotsubashi, while Chuemon recites infamy outside for him, earning money and saving. By the time Shiwan is on top, perhaps there will be enough money to support the affairs of the country.

At that time, whether it is a gun army or a foreign ship, it will be easy. As long as you have money, you can buy it from the Dutch. As a small vendor, the Dutch are very reliable. In history, when the shogunate was founded, the Dutch rushed to sell steam warships to the shogunate.

"It's really sincere, I hope their brothers are of the same mind!"
