Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 67

As soon as it is said that we will establish monopoly state-owned enterprises and expand the establishment, the senior middle school members here will naturally not be sleepy. The discussion was very lively, and he was very concerned about national affairs and shared his worries for you.

Because the railway has not been laid all over the country, this postal service, in addition to the Tokugawa Railway, has to be related to the Tokugawa Ship.

Japan is an island country, and most of the population lives in the coastal plains. Only a small part of the population lives in inland mountainous areas. In the Great Plains of Kanto, more than one-seventh of Japan’s population is gathered. In later generations, the total population of the Tokyo metropolitan area will reach more than one-third of the entire country.

Therefore, the places that cannot be covered by the railway temporarily have to be connected by ships. It is guaranteed that major large towns can have relatively “fast” postal routes.

After the mails and packages arrive in these local towns, the local transport will start to the next-level villages and towns. It won’t be very far horizontally and vertically, after all, the Japanese archipelago is such a big place, how far can it be.

In the future, when roads are built, bicycles can be distributed. Now that there is no road with better universality, it will be delivered to livestock such as a workhorse, carrying a postal package.

What kind of samurai do you call a samurai who doesn’t know how to keep horses?

In short, it is not an easy thing to spread the postal service across the country. It has to borrow the “flying feet” that have been running well between Osaka and Edo before, and quickly build the framework of the entire business. Once you have a system that can run, and the whole is running smoothly, you can only think about optimization and improvement later.

Shimadzu’s definition is more active and enthusiastic about this matter. The Kagoshima Domain 30,000 to 40,000 samurai suddenly went out of business and at home, but he knew very well whether there were any potential rebels among these people.

It doesn’t matter if you take a few days off, anyway, the shogunate still distributes stipends. But after a long period of rest, the salary of ten stones and eight stones in that year will still make them feel different emotions.

So I’d better do some work for them early, and if it really doesn’t work, I’ll immediately send them to the Kyushu Railway construction site to pick sleepers. From dawn to dusk, as long as the wages are paid in full, the brown rice and salt rice **** are fully managed, and then they are exhausted to death every day, this Kagoshima is stable.

After all, Shimadzu is defined as a feudal lord, so he can still see clearly some people in his feudal domain.

Speaking of this point, other senior middle school also recognized it very much. Indeed, give this gang of samurai knives some work to do earlier, before they get into trouble.

If you are familiar with the local geography of mountains and rivers, you should quickly register them now, and first compile a directory and report it to Edo. Then, officials from Edo and experienced “flying feet”, supporting the simple middle-level in the local area, started pre-job training. Let them all know what they are doing, horizontally and vertically.

Instead of taking it directly to the train station, pointing to a pile of coal, and telling him that he will be a coal shoveler of the Tokugawa Railway in the future, and he will have to shovel coal every day. People these days are so poor that they only have the strength, and shoveling coal really only needs the strength to do it. What about mail delivery? It also requires skills such as counting, summarizing, and classifying.

If they can’t be placed in this round, then they really have to go to the railway construction site to pick sleepers!

It’s better to pick sleepers than to rebel, right? Chuemon didn’t want another civil war. In the past, I was a prince who fought rebellion, and my righteousness was in my hands. If this is to suppress the “civil unrest”, it will affect the reputation of His Majesty Tokugawa Chuzheng, the little father of the subjects of the world.

Little selfishness, hehe.

“If that’s the case, let’s set up two more divisions in Xiguo and Kyushu!” Yoshida Shoin is an attendant and secretary of Chuemon’s Gate. He usually doesn’t say anything. Also innocuous.

No one here knew that Chuemon and Yoshida Shoin slept in the same bed every day and slept on their feet.

“Yaguchi Division and Kagoshima Division?” Chuemon is ready to set up two more divisions, but hopes to set up again next year.

Because of the lack of balance, we can print more money next year, and after the domestic market is fully unified, the import and export tariff revenue should also be greatly increased. With the active money, we can try to set up two new divisions, right?

The army is a bottomless pit, a cave of gold sales. As long as you are willing to spend money, there will never be an upper limit to the investment in the army. When a country is created, the first priority is to place warriors and stabilize people’s hearts, and other things have to rely on it.

“No, no, I thought that the fourth Hiroshima division and the fifth Kumamoto division could be set up.” What kind of person is Yoshida Shoin, he is old acquaintance with Chuemon, how could he not know what Chuemon is thinking.

Because both the Changzhou soldiers and the Satsuma soldiers made great efforts in the battle of Fushimi, and these two vassals were themselves powerful vassals in the southwest. So it is impossible to say that Chuemon is not afraid at all.

You, Yoshida Songyin, can stand up for Mouri who is far away in Edo, and when your kid has worked in Edo for a long time, things will happen if your hometown is not well protected. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com What should I do if a macho man fell from the sky and made you empty too?

If the shogunate established a division in Yamaguchi, according to the current situation, a large number of soldiers from the Choshu Raiders would definitely be selected. Of course, these people are listening to Yoshida Shoin’s greetings now, but what about the future? After ten or twenty years, this group of people has retired. What will happen to the Yamaguchi division, who is far away from Edo?

Therefore, Chuemon did not want to establish two divisions with Choshu and Satsuma samurai as the backbone. It is to prevent Yoshida Shoin and Shimadzu from exerting too much influence and directly intervene in the military. It is also to prevent the “official army” set up by these shogunates from eventually going to the opposite side of the shogunate for one reason or another.

But Yoshida Shoin is now talking about the establishment of Hiroshima Division and Kumamoto Division, which is a bit interesting.

“Songyin’s remarks are quite reasonable!” Shimadzu thought about it for a while, and already figured it out, and immediately echoed it.

Every man is innocent, but he is guilty. Shimadzu did not think about bringing the Satsuma soldiers to rebel, but if something happened to the Satsuma soldiers, he would definitely be involved. Now he just wants to strive for the top in a stable and stable manner, and take over as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Japan in the future.

If new divisions are set up in Hiroshima and Kumamoto, then Changzhou soldiers and Saskatchewan soldiers will definitely not account for all, or even half.

According to the precedent of the 3rd Sendai Division, the number of soldiers from Sendai was only more than 1,000, and the remaining 7,000 were all strong men from the Ou region. The same is true for the Hiroshima Division and the Kumamoto Division. The Choshu soldiers and Satsuma soldiers are given a maximum of 2,000 places, and the remaining 6,000 places must be given to other vassal states where their troops originate.

The origin of the vassal state is different, so the chance of some major problems naturally occurring is much smaller.
