Edo Traveler

Vol 7 Chapter 79: Hamamatsu scolds for good money

When Chuemon said the words, Ooka Tadago directly rejected it. Although his skill in governing the country may not be that high, he has been familiar with people for more than 30 years in trying to figure out people's hearts and sophistication.

The people were so hungry that they left Edo on their own and fled to the mountains and forests, eating leaves and digging grass roots. They might not feel anything for a while. But if you evacuated them, what would they think?

That must be the resentment in my heart. I feel that the shogunate is throwing off the burden, driving them out of Edo Castle, which has a greater chance of survival, and leaving them to fend for themselves.

At that time, the others did not evacuate, and directly forced the Fulang Xiaomin!

Huh! What Ooka Tadagoi said is correct, but we thought it was too simple. Even if the person has something to do, if someone orders or asks him to do it, the kind of rebellious psychology is easy to understand.

Since the shogunate cannot come forward and evacuate forcibly, how should we deal with the hundreds of thousands of floating civilians under this city? The official hall fell silent again for a while. If there was a way, they would have it. But right now, isn't it?

"Would you like to invite Hou Hamamatsu to the meeting?" Songping looked at the helpless people, and made a whispered suggestion.

Yingmi Guihu fought over, and it was enough to ask Mizuno Tadakuni to host it. After all, he had experience and enough prestige to lead troops. But now it's just a small disaster relief, and you have to work this great god?

It stands to reason that the veterans of the shogunate are not very happy, but unfortunately the shogunate's center does not have a backbone, and this center is also rotten and rotten. Anything that happens is a serious illness. So something happened and I missed Mizuno Tadakuni, a paperworker, at least when he was in office, the paperwork was pretty good.

"Well, please come here, Hamamatsu Hou." Ooka Tadoku did not fight all the way, and finally became Laozhong's first.

With his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps the well-informed veteran Mizuno Tadakuni, who served the two dynasties, could do something. Even if there is no way, at least it shows that we are actively seeking solutions to the problem. All this is asking for help. I am working hard to serve the public.

Everyone is mixing...

The famine is imminent or is it mixed...

Got it, then please, Mizuno Tadakuni is a great god, and he usually comes to see Tokugawa Ikei when he enters the city. If you want to invite him now, you have to report to Tokugawa Kayuki in advance.

In the next day, Mizuno Zhongbang went to Zhongao leisurely first, drank tea with Tokugawa Jiaqing, and chatted for a while, then he had time to quit and had a meeting with a group of old Chinese.

He came, of course he was the first to sit. Matsudaira Qixuan briefly introduced the overall situation. It is not that the shogunate is not supplying rice for the people of Edo. It is simply that the situation is quickly out of control. If the shogunate puts rice into the market, it will not be harmful for the time being. No.

"How many do you see around the rice warehouse?" Mizuno actually enjoyed the pleasure of giving orders, and he sat on the main seat again, not at all uncomfortable.

"It's strange to see five hundred and twenty thousand." Hisashi Nagai reported a number, which should be a real number.

They are all sensible, and no one will hold you back why you were bitten by rats and mothed tens of thousands of rice every year, but now the shogunate wants to use it. If you dare to reach out or hide it, the shogunate really wants to kill people. of.

"It's not a lot..." Mizuno Tadakuni was fairly satisfied when he heard this number.

"If you say..." Ooka Tadagoi prepared to pour bitterness to explain his own difficulties.

Unexpectedly, Mizuno Tadakuni told him not to say anything. He stretched out his hand to float down and pressed it down, then glanced at all the old ministers present here, looking at him in general.

"It is reasonable to say that I am an old thing that shouldn't be criticized by the government, but since you invite me, then this matter must be easy to handle, and Edo will not be taught to cause chaos." Mizuno seems to have set the tone.

"What you are talking about! What you are talking about!" Matsudaira Keunaga, who had always been jumping, was also oppressed by Mizuno Tadakuni's momentum at this time, and he did not dare to have any dissatisfaction or opposition.

"How many of you?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Then I will rely on the old to sell the old. Today, I retired from the city. When you go back and tell those Zhacha and rice merchants, some money can be made, and some money can't be made. This year, the Shimadzu stall has been out of the matter, and all the vassals have added a lot. Don't stretch out your hand here anymore." He spoke slowly and his tone was not necessarily harsh, but he still stirred up huge waves in your old center.

The big monopoly merchants in Edo who are engaged in loan sharking and grain industries are all old middle and generals behind them. Without such a backer, it is impossible to do these businesses.

The wealthy merchants made money. Although they themselves spent time and money and wasted, half of them, or even more, were used to honor your patrons and were borrowed by the shogunate.

The high-level shogunate in front of them were not so active about disaster relief affairs, and they might not have been looking forward to the tens of thousands of thoughts on the contribution next year. Anyway, they are scraping money from the people. They have no psychological burden. The people are starving to death, and they may not feel much guilt.

Now Mizuno believes that it has been settled with Tokugawa Jiaqing, and the few under Jiaqing have Jiaqing to speak on his own. As for the wealthy businessmen who are leaning against the five old middlemen in front of him, then these five need to be instructed. NS.

"this…"

In the words of the webmaster in "Latent", if it weren't for this privilege, who would be the official? Lao Zhong was thrown out by the general to be a substitute for the dead. UU reading www.uukanshu. com even some old middle schools retired, the family was reorganized by the new general. The Mizuno family in history has gone from 253,000 shi to 50,000 shi in Yamagata, which is really miserable!

It is not to be able to earn some children and grandchildren, so that the finances in one's domain can be restored, and at the same time, oneself can also enjoy some things that ordinary people can't enjoy.

"The shogunate has to recruit troops and buy artillery, so that the money is like a mountain and a sea. This year you have already made a lot of money, and have you long regained your hope?"

No one dared to answer, Mizuno Zhongbang had already retired anyway, won the world's reputation, and repeatedly quit Yingmi ghosts and animals, and the people praised him as "the prime minister of the time." To put it bluntly, this person has nowhere to do him. He is no longer doing things, so there is no way to do anything wrong. Turning over the old accounts is a big killer, but whoever doesn't point the old accounts will hurt both sides.

Even if it's some lace news, or men's and women's issues, people will only laugh at that time. The big man has a junior, and everyone says he is a romantic **** at best. Little ordinary people do not need to describe how terrible the scolding is. With his reputation as Mizuno Tadakuni, unless he usurped the throne and killed the king, he wouldn't be stinky at all.

"What are you waiting for! It is difficult not to share the time with the Shogunate!"
