Edo Traveler

In the business of speculation, in addition to having money, the most important thing is to have a keen eye and ear, and a superhuman source of information. It's a pity that this time Mizuno Tadakuni personally ordered that only a few people at the Laozhong Imperial Conference were fully aware of the situation.

After you call in your white gloves and talk to them about half of the plan, let them sell them at three times the price. Some speculators who also have a long-term vision perceive that the shogunate is about to make a move, which is controlling the price of rice!

It's normal for people to be lustful. Except for a few two or three people who liquidated and ran away, took three or four times the profit to go to other places or took shelter under the foreign domain, the other speculators not only failed to converge, but made troubles and became more unscrupulous.

The shogunate has compromised with merchants in many business activities for so many years. That's because the rich merchants and the shogunate wear a pair of trousers, and hundreds of thousands of taels of gold are stuffed into the general's Zhongao every year. The general himself follows the rich merchants to exploit the people, and you all eat it. Full. Therefore, reforms are often the successor to the throne of the new emperor.

Such as the lenient policy reform and the natural protection reform, they are all like this. One is the succession of the Tokugawa family, and the other is the succession of the Tokugawa family. The newly appointed Laozhong can chop up melons and vegetables with the white gloves of the previous generation.

But in the final analysis, in feudal society, merchants were still the objects of feudal rulers' wanton disposal. Don't look at the usual five people and six people, the feudal iron fist really wants to hit you, and it doesn't make any sense.

Chungemon and Sukeruku mobilized his cronies' arrest officers, and after the shogunate began to sell rice, he then began investigating those speculators who were still eating rice or maintaining high-priced sales.

A group of speculators with more than a hundred people was quickly identified. Some of these people are single-handedly and feel that they are absolutely fine to eat some small fish and shrimps after the tide. Some people formed gangs and mobilized hundreds of thousands of taels of funds to directly disturb the market. Of course there are a few who have foreign vassal backgrounds, but the shogunate takes you regardless of where you came from.

At the beginning of this year, the Satsuma Shima Tsu clan was brutally abused by the shogunate. Now the princes will only clip their tails and behave. There is absolutely no possibility of standing up to protect you as a speculator.

After a month of pulling back and forth and deliberately releasing the water, Mizuno should have collected the money of a group of speculators into the shogunate.

In addition to some rice bought by the common people, the shogunate sold more than 220,000 shi of rice, earning more than 600,000 taels in cash. This money should be the money of speculators, and their capital adds up to one million yuan. In addition, they bought rice from rice merchants and rice from rich farmers in Edo Sakan, and the money should be about the same.

Now the money has returned to the public, and when their people are arrested, the rice can be recovered. Of course, there must be some loss in the middle. Moreover, the shogunate could only take back the rice sold in its own rice warehouse. Does the other rice bought by speculators exist? Of course it does not exist!

That's it for everyone!

July 10th, close the net!

In order to prevent outsiders, the shogunate did not use the townships and eyes in the Edo Town Office. After all, there were some people who were bought out. The shogunate mobilized more than a thousand people in the training team, divided into ten teams, with experienced officials appointed by the old middlemen as their leaders, and swept into the city like a storm.

By this time, the group of speculators discovered that the shogunate was not going to eat the people at all, but was going to eat them!

But when faced with the officers and soldiers of the shogunate squad, a few small speculators, and the hard-working bodyguards they hired, what storms could it cause? Still want to arrest? If that doesn't exist, Gobes Fireblatter will directly hit you with a pair of shots. This thing makes two shots in one minute. No matter how fast you can shoot, it can't be as fast as a bullet.

The team prepared to fill the guns of the British and American ghosts and animals, and now they are used to deal with a group of speculators, it is not easy to catch them. None of the speculators that were detected before ran away, but they dared to fight the law violently.

More than one hundred speculators, even with hundreds of their subordinates, were **** in this meeting and **** in front of the Edo Town Office. None of the senior middle school students slept, they were sitting upright, examining these speculators. Sharing the worries for the shogunate and asking for orders for the people, it does not hinder them, but it also matters how much they seized tonight.

Chuemon and Sukeruku summarized their confessions briefly, and then wrote a list. This group of people really doesn't have much cash. They add up to only 100,000, but they have hoarded more than 400,000 shi in grain, and the specific amount is still being counted, and the seizure is extremely generous.

The two hundred and twenty thousand stone grains sold by the shogunate are to be returned, and you have reached a consensus on this point. As for the others...

In the end, Chuemon was divided into five thousand taels...

One question helped six, and he was also divided into five thousand taels. Originally, the two people didn't want rice, and that thing needed to be sold to Zhacha. It would cost him another cut to keep it out. It's better to just get five thousand taels of gold to finish the job.

In addition, all soldiers of the mission team who participated in the operation were given one stone and one or two gold each. Their hometown, Hachioji, was also affected by the drought, and rice is more important to them than gold. After receiving the reward, a group of soldiers shouted and cheered around Laozhong and Songping, praising the general Jian Shengming, and they were willing to do their loyalty to the shogunate.

At dawn the next day, the old Chinese who hadn’t slept all night rushed to the castle and Tokugawa Iayaki reported the victory, and seized 220,000 shi of rice and 33,000 taels of gold. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has already All went to the official warehouse of the shogunate. How to deal with those speculators, please lay down the army.

What else could be done, of course, was to directly push them in front of the people of Edo, and cut them all, according to the law of the country. At the same time, let the common people experience General Tokugawa's ardent expectation that he loves his people like a child, and his selflessness.

Good guy, General Jian really loves this land!

Of course, more than one hundred speculators had a dead end. Under the crowd of hundreds of thousands of people, one was counted as one, and all of them were chopped off. Their heads were sent to the Nihonbashi Bridge, held by a long flagpole, and displayed for three days.

The remaining subordinates and bodyguards had originally said that they had to chop, but they weren't a good thing anyway. Chungemon remembered the emigration Ezo mentioned before, so he raised a mouth with him and exiled Ezo directly.

The exile of Ezo at this time was a heavy penalty, and the high mortality rate was not much different from beheading. In addition, it can also enrich the population of Ezo, and there is no hesitation on it, so I immediately agreed.

It's the midsummer of July, and even Ezo can't freeze people to death, so they are just in time to be the pioneers and go to Ezo to lay the foundation.
