Vol 12 Chapter 62: budget for building

The second thing, and the second fire that Matsudaira Qixuan took office, was to rebuild the buildings of the Edo Castle and the government offices in the center of the shogunate. As well as Chuemon himself, and the so-called Daou, there are actually only three people's harem residences.

Edo Castle is a castle first and a city second. The establishment of a castle town has the meaning of attracting the townspeople in order to prosper the economy. There is also an intention to prevent the invading enemy army from attacking by setting up many towns and towns.

And the princes who surrounded Edo Castle, Kayashiki, naturally had other meanings besides rewards and closeness. The princes lived in Kamiyajiki, so in addition to the princes themselves, there were also the vassal samurai of the vassal.

In addition, in order to conform to the status of the princes, the thick gates, tall walls, and the rice storage and pools of some princes' residences were built. This is a standard military camp, the kind you can hold on to.

If there is a war, the enemy army must burn down the castle town first. The castle town alone is enough for the enemy to grab for several days. When the enemy army finished grabbing, the princes surrounding Edo Castle went up to the house, and they were also ready to fight, and Edo Castle was also strictly guarded.

It's a bit of a so-called echelon defense.

Off-field defense, one set after another, and the defense of the city itself is also very strong. The narrowest place has a moat that is more than 20 meters wide. Normally, it is 50 to 60 meters wide, or even wider, and it cannot be easily crossed. The tall stone walls and the small guards all over the place, that is, the arrow turrets and the iron cannon turrets, always warn the foreign invaders.

On the contrary, when they entered the city, the defense level was much worse. It's just a castle in the feudal era, with soldiers in the feudal era, you expect him to fight fierce street battles, it is basically impossible. If the enemy army enters the city and sets fire to it, it will be over. You defend a fart, and there is no possibility of defending at all.

Therefore, the buildings in Edo Castle do not have the meaning of so many defensive weapons. They can be constructed according to how they should be constructed.

Now it is said that the official hall of the Biao Ao, the residence of the generals of the Central Olympics, and the courtyard of the Dao Harem should all be converted into Western-style buildings, and there is no objection from the present. Whatever you want, there is so much to say about such a small thing.

The Edo castle tower, which symbolizes the power of the shogun, is still there, and the rest is up to you. And for the sake of this matter, some people jumped out and objected.

According to the prior consultations, three separate office buildings for the army, finance (assessment) and temples and shrines are now determined, as well as an office building for other departments. The official office of the director of education was set up in Edo University, which is to reflect the meaning of attaching importance to education, and it is impossible to move in a short period of time.

Originally, infantrymen were stationed in the military camp of the training team, and now there is no need to be so troublesome. The navy pursues Egawa Eimin as far away as Osaka, and there are not so many major affairs departments. It is because the navy and the army are co-located, but it is only one floor, divided into left and right wings, with a hall in the middle.

The survey and practice of the temple and the practice of the temple are both original departments, with officials, affairs, and funds. They all have a lot of personnel, and there are many subordinate branches, so it is necessary for each of them to need a building. Japan is still a country with a relatively strong religious atmosphere. There are more than 2,600 temples in Edo alone. As the administrator of the temple, it must be a large group of subordinates.

As for the residence of the shogun of Chuemon, and the courtyard building of the Great Ou Harem, according to Chuemon's words, they are directly merged into one place. Feudal dynasties, the king's provincial palace, that is a great act of Mingjun. The ministers hoped that the emperor would not make a lot of construction projects, and just have a palace to live there for a while.

The senior middle school members on the left and right naturally expressed their support for Chuemon's decision. To tell the truth, Chunemon is not worried about a cuckold incident in Dao, and their ministers are worried. You don't say it, I don't say it, everyone is tacit. If you jumped out and said there was a risk of cuckolding, that would be no fun.

In short, several buildings have been determined, and the rest is to hire French architects and the shogunate to set a budget. Eiffel, the original chief designer of Edo Castle, after completing the construction of the Nihonbashi Iron Bridge and then carrying out a comprehensive planning and design of Edo, gained fame and fortune and was ready to return to China.

His father is not a military attache at the French embassy, ​​and his term has already arrived. Even before Eiffel had taken the order of the Bordeaux Garonne River Railway Bridge and rushed back to France to repair the bridge. It's just that the French opened up the Kobe residential area later, and Count Roche thought of Eiffel again, thinking that this young man was very good at building buildings in Japan.

So just after the construction of the Bordeaux Garonne River Railway Bridge was completed, Eiffel was invited back from France to continue planning and building Kobe Castle and Port Town.

In line with the idea of ​​​​using it smoothly, the shogunate also plans to continue to hire Eiffel to design and build the Zhuguan Hall Building, as well as the palaces of Chuemon and Matsudaira Qixuan.

Alright, let's make a budget.

Everyone turned to look at Shimadzu's definition. Shimadzu's appointment was completed in less than four months. To be honest, he was not even proficient in the business of managing the shogunate's finances. After all, suddenly from the navy to pursue the post, all of a sudden to the assignment to pursue, this span is indeed too big.

But both his father and his sister encouraged him to work hard. This position is too important. In name, it is the money bag of the shogunate, and it is the chief of the local officials. It is only second to the Ministry of Heavenly Officials, and it is impossible for ordinary people to hold such an important position.

That is to say, Shimadzu's definition dipped in the light of his sister-in-law and became the consort of the shogunate. With all kinds of coincidences, he finally became such an important position.

Everyone asked him how much money was in the shogunate's gold possessions. Shimadzu still knew it by definition, so he reported a number. In addition, he also explained that because of the particularity of the feudal regime of the shogunate, the shogun's inner possession and the shogun's gold store~www.wuxiaspot.com~ should actually be one.

The general is not only the co-lord of the world, but also the actual lord of the shogunate. Now there is only a little money in the gold treasure of the shogunate, but the general's internal money can't accumulate millions. If you really want to build a palace or something, you should pay for it, General.

Good boy, he will climb down the pole!

I don't know who taught him this. Mrs. Atsuhime and the Tokugawa family are loving couples, probably know how much the Tokugawa family has in the family. Now the inner treasure has been inherited by Chuemon, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. Atsushi. That's why Mrs. Atsuhime thought of asking Chuemon to quickly take out the money and make it public for the shogunate.

"I don't care about money, and I should spend my own money." Chuyouemon agreed very quickly.

Holding the three major clubs in hand, even if it has a million dollars, it is not a fortune that cannot be given up to Chuemon.
