Edo Traveler
Vol 9 Chapter 2: Not to borrow British money
Chuemon had a valuable status, and only when he dismounted, an attendant entered in and reported to Ii Naobi. Now serving as the first seat of the old middle school, Ii Naobi, who was appointed to take charge of the government in the face of danger, was so powerful that he was set ablaze by two fires.
Theoretically speaking, like Chuemon, a prince who is better than Misanqing, the general genealogical daimyo needs to come to the door to greet him. Only Laozhong’s first position is politically higher and can be compared. However, Chuemon and Ii Naobi are acquaintances, so let's not talk about these imaginary things.
After walking a few steps into the Hikone Mansion, Ii Naobi's figure appeared in front of him. Not surprisingly, there are also Jiu Shi Guang Zhou and a few familiar characters. Don't even think about it, these are all mobilized by Edo tycoons to talk to Ii Naobi.
"Your Highness." Several people bowed their heads in salute.
"It's not useful, it's me who came to bother me." Tadaemon smiled and went to hold Ii Naobi's hand. This is called Hou Yanhuan.
Kuse Hiroshi and others were a bit complicated at first, but now seeing that Chuemon came to talk about official affairs, but only made friendships, they realized that Chuemon was also a lobbyist for the lack of security. I was overjoyed, cheeky, followed in, ready to see the situation, maybe we could get things done with Chungemon's face.
Everyone was seated, Ii Naobi ordered the waiter to bring refreshments. Since Chuemon was not here to talk about official affairs, he was here to talk about friendship, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
"I shouldn't have come to you to speak, but you also know that someone will come to me, and I can't save face, so I have to come." Chungemon was at risk.
"Hahahahahaha... Your Royal Highness is much plainer than Yamato." Naobi Ii turned his head, and his face remained unchanged, and he smiled.
Obviously, this group of people just came over. It was a bend and a side attack, but they didn't dare to touch Ii Naobi's tiger's whiskers. It's completely different from Chuemon, but he's a face of sorrow when he comes up.
"His Royal Highness and Saubu are inextricably linked, I can't wait for it." Kuse Guangzhou, who has been doing it for two years, would have been scolded and stepped down if he didn't even have such a cheeky.
"Speaking of Yamato is also here, I want to talk to you about one thing. The shogunate is expensive, and there are places to make money everywhere. It is not desirable to search for the people in a poor way, I mean..."
"What can I do for your Highness?"
There is a saying, if Naobi Ii had a good way to get money, he would not be willing to blackmail the world's great merchants several million taels at once. After all, doing this kind of thing would be regarded as offending all the wealthy businessmen, and it might also offend the bigwigs behind the wealthy businessmen. The money may not be able to get all the money, and there is no way to offend many old people.
Just like the previous Mizuno Tadakuni, Mizuno did not have a good way to get the money. In the end, he chose to directly check the money house and copied 2 million, which is regarded as a financial support for his administration.
Now Ii Naobi is determined to forge ahead, seeing the British, Americans and foreigners flooding in, he is anxious in his heart. The Tokugawa clan trusted him so much, he had to repay the Tokugawa clan so that he could protect the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers.
"In consultation with the United Kingdom before, the British envoy Pasha Li promised to assist the shogunate in loaning foreign funds." Chungemon put down his teacup.
"Foreign money?" This was signed in the special article. Naobi Ii didn't care too much about the content of the special article, so he immediately recalled the content when he spoke suddenly.
"According to my expectation, if everything goes well, I can borrow 2 million to 3 million foreign funds from the UK in the first installment. It is nothing more than the Yokohama tariff as a guarantee, which will save tomorrow's money today." Chuemon thought for a while. Said.
brought the British Empire to the forefront. Two million pounds was a hammer to him, and it was not free. Compared with the shogunate, the British empire with an annual income of 92 million pounds is really better than the Tokugawa shogunate, which has an annual income of no more than 2 million.
"In other words, after borrowing the first installment, can you still borrow again?" Naobi Ii keenly discovered the space left in Chuemon's words.
"It's not difficult to think about it!"
Why is it not difficult? Because one thing about Chuemon is very certain. Once Czarist Russia forces the Qing government to sign the "Aihui Treaty" and further seizes the outer northeastern region and obtains a good port of Vladivostok, Czarist Russia will greatly increase its power in the Far East. In order to curb the development of Tsarist Russia, the United Kingdom will find agents in the Far East and throw large sums of money to stop Tsarist Russia.
In the so-called Far East, there are only two choices, one is the Qing court and the other is the Tokugawa Shogunate. As long as the Tokugawa shogunate can show willingness to be a dog for bringing the British, and enough to contain the Russian Russia, or at least temporarily stop the Russians, and create time and space for the British to take action.
Then bring the British will definitely invest in the Tokugawa Shogunate without hesitation, ask money for money, guns for guns, and even warships and artillery can be given away for free. As long as the Tokugawa shogunate can disgust Czarist Russia in the Far East and prevent Czarist Russia from expanding unscrupulously.
"Is it really possible to borrow two million or even three million in the first installment?" Naobi Ii's eyebrows were wide, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com seemed very excited.
"It must be possible."
This money is actually believed by the British to borrow it. Maybe they can only use it to buy new guns and warships from the UK. Of course, it can also be used for the daily expenses of students studying in the UK, or for the shogunate to purchase a variety of advanced industrial machinery from the UK.
Anyway, it can only be spent in the UK, so there is no need to elaborate on the truth. Although Daiying is willing to take advantage of the shogunate, he is not a big benevolent person, and Daiying will definitely not make less of the money he should earn.
"Hehe...hehe..." Somehow, Naobi Ii suddenly got up and paced back and forth.
"It's a pity, if Fukui Hou has not resigned, it would be great to let him borrow it." After a few smiles, Ii Naobi suddenly popped out such a sentence.
What's the meaning?
"Hi..." Chuemon suddenly realized something.
Look at Ii Naobi's appearance. It is very likely that I am going to boldly borrow from the British first, and how much I can borrow, and then put all the money into the construction of the new army of the training team, as well as the Edo Bay and other important places. In defense. As long as the army is expanded to 20,000 and then a dozen large and small warships can be purchased, when the time comes...
When the time comes, he will bring Ying to the door to collect debts armed, and the shogunate will not be afraid at all. The big deal is to do another battle. Anyway, Ii Naobi wanted to train a soldier and continue to maintain the rule of the shogunate. The founding of the country was just a stopgap measure. If the British were repulsed, the country would no longer need to be opened, and the money would no longer need to be repaid.
Isn't it beautiful!
