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

Nagasaki's security has not been slackened by Tademon's letter. After all, it is one thing to write a letter, and it is another thing to fight a war. Moreover, judging from the general fear of war among the samurai, it is not necessarily a bad thing to rectify. However, no matter how busy others are, Chuemon doesn't bother to care about it for the time being.

Because Takashima Akho was released back to Nagasaki!

Akho Takashima, who might have been shut down for several years in history, was so acquitted because he was acquitted by General Tokugawa Kayoshi's Yuen because of the little bully Matsuhiro Qixuan's lips. But it was only acquitted, the salary of the Seventy Stones was confiscated, and the Nianji of Nagasaki, who had served for generations, was also deprived.

Akho Takashima is now a white body, or a little more popular, Ronshi!

Those family properties in Nagasaki were also confiscated by the shogunate. It is pitiful to encounter such things as Qiuhan Takashima is getting old and getting old. As an old brother Tademon, he must treat him to a good meal, and then find him a place to stay so that he can always be dependent. Even give him some more money, so that he has a start-up capital.

I set up a private school for Lanxue at home. In recent years, many people have studied Lanxue and can earn a little living expenses. If you can write or write books, there will always be people who are willing to buy books on Lanxue, and the life will not go on.

Like Chuemon's original choice to come to the West, Akho Takashima also took a boat back to Nagasaki. Now that there are rumors everywhere that Nagasaki is going to fight, merchant ships and passenger ships departing from Osaka are reluctant to go to Nagasaki, and only go to Saga Port in Saga. No way, since we are going to pick up people, we can only go to Saga Port.

The first feeling that the town of Saga gave Chuemon was enlightened!

It's not air in that sense, but another kind, perhaps a more suitable vocabulary is atmosphere? Maybe the environment? Why do you say this, because all the hakama children that Chuemon saw on the road are all positive and upward. Everyone is endorsing or holding a bookcase. Everyone is eager to learn. , This has never been seen in any domain, even in Edo.

It is hard to imagine that a vassal country that owed as much as one hundred thousand silver and four hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold a few years ago would have such an atmosphere now!

Let’s whip the corpse of Saga Clan here. With such a huge debt, Saga Clan’s strategy is to cry poor while pretending to be dead under the command of Shigeyoshi Nabeshima. Brilliant results. The money of the Nagasaki merchants was repaid in 70 years in installments without interest. About 70% of the arrears owed by Osaka and Edo merchants relied on their accounts, and the rest was repaid in five years without interest.

The creditors were stunned by the combination of Saga Clan, and the original annual interest was as high as 7,000 silver coins and 12,000 gold. Now it has been sharply reduced to 460 silver coins, and the finances of Fanzhong have been greatly eased.

Through such rogue means, the Saga clan was able to accumulate a fiscal surplus of nine thousand taels. Immediately, Nabeshima Shigeyoshi ordered the provision of one hundred and seventy shi of rice for the Fan School Hiromichikan every month to ensure that all children of the proper age in the Fan School, from the daimyo to the small props, can enter the Fan School for free.

And the point is, in order to ensure that all the feudal vassals of the right age can enter the feudal school, Shigeru Nabeshima offered very attractive conditions.

Take care of three white rice meals a day!

If you eat salted vegetables in the morning, you will eat white rice, and eat white rice at noon will eat salted fish. Good guy, it's a delicacy that most lower-level samurai can't imagine. All of a sudden, the children of the Wu family from all over the world came to study, and the threshold of the Hongdao Hall even needed to be replaced because there were too many people stepping on it.

After such a few years, the cultural atmosphere of the Saga Domain has been greatly strengthened. Nabeshima hopes to cultivate a new generation of literate, ideal and insightful sons of the Saga Domain through the education of the domain, and lay a solid foundation for the reform of the Saga Domain. A strong foundation.

In history, after Yoshida Shoin came to Saga, I was greatly admired by seeing everyone in the Saga clan who learned from each other. To put it bluntly, this is a scene that does not exist in the Hagi domain, and it cannot be compared with the rude lower-level warriors of Satsuma and rascals. If it weren't for him as a member of the Hagi Clan, he would really like to stay in Saga like this and study and advance with everyone.

I remember that Akho Takashima seemed to have apprentices in the Saga domain, and Chuemon came over temporarily, and he was interested in seeing the reforms in the Saga domain through Akho Takashima.

According to the current understanding, the path of the Saga clan is very different from that of the Satsuma clan and the Hagi clan. The Saga Domain first cultivated the scholars, invigorated the people, and refreshed the old customs. The way of Satsuma and Hagi was to do everything possible to scrape money, scrape a little bit, and then expand the army.

When there is no money from the inside and the power of the army is cultivated, then the feudal lord does not want to fall, and must fall. Because the army needs to crawl on the fallen shogunate corpse and eat and drink the blood of the shogunate to fill their hungry intestines and stomachs. When the flesh and blood of the shogunate is finished, you must eat it outside.

Perhaps the path of the Saga Clan was the one that was truly suitable for the shogunate. It's just that one step is wrong and all steps are wrong, and in the end, you can only go one way to the end.

As I was thinking, there were more than a dozen large and small ships sailing into the port, and I saw the flags and official title signs on them, saying that Matsuhira Hizenshou, that is naturally the current Saga lord Nabeshima Masaru. As for why he is called Matsuhira Hizenshou. No explanation.

Seeing that it was him, Chungemon hurriedly stepped aside ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the ranks of others, and of course he couldn't rush at will. When he was finished, Akho Takashima sent a letter to Nagasaki and said that he would be in Saga today or tomorrow.

Looking at all the members, the samurai of the Saga Domain who got off the boat, they were also in a hurry to come back this time. There is a police officer in Nagasaki, and Ieki Tokugawa ordered Naomasa Naomasa, who had only arrived in Edo a few days, to return home quickly, and commanded the Saga clan soldiers to strengthen Nagasaki's security forces. Once a war is fought, we must immediately mobilize to buy time for the shogunate to mobilize the army.

To put it bluntly, just come back and do cannon fodder, no one understands this matter. Naomasa Nabeshima was also happy to return home. In Edo, he explained that the money he spent every day was huge, and he would save money by returning home earlier.

Eh!

wrong!

How could Nabeshima Naomasa who was guarded by the soldiers of the Saga feudal clan follow a familiar person next to him!

Why is Akho Takashima being held by Nabeshima?

The boss of Chuemon, whose eyes were staring, confirmed again and again. Absolutely, Akho Takashima, a felon who had just been released by the shogunate, is now being cordially embraced by the lord of the Saga feudal lord, and he is almost hugging him!
