Edo Traveler

Vol 2 Chapter 66: Hitting workers have no life

   "Is it too much Meng Lang to give one hundred thousand stone money and food to a small imperial family?"

  Edo Castle Omoo, in the central shogunate organization that has been reopened, is holding a temporary meeting of the old middle school. Mizuno Tadakuni Mizuno sat on the head of Mikatsu, and Yukuki Sanada who started with a little doubt.

   What Yukuki Sanada said is not bad at all. Can a small imperial family with a salary of less than sixty salaries be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a huge sum of 100,000 stones of grain and 5,000 taels of gold?

   "It's the Imperial Court!"

   Mizuno Tadabang did not have a long story, just holding a tea cup, and simply took a sip of hot tea. It’s already very cold in Edo in late October. It’s still necessary to warm yourself up with a sip of hot tea.

   As soon as he said this, all the elders in this room didn't have much to say. A few days ago, in the middle of the night, the entire Edo Chuemon came to the fire and rescued the car alone. Regarding this matter, it must be Jane's heart.

   The so-called meritorious service is the King of Attendance!

   With the merits of Kyokushin's escort, he is already a samurai and became the Chuemon of the royal family, and he will surely be promoted and reused by Tokugawa Ieki. Moreover, Tadaoemon sent Yabe Sadaqian back and became a backer, and Mizuno still accepts his favor.

   When Tokugawa Ieki handed over the disaster relief to Chuemon, Mizuno did not stop him. Just give it a try, maybe you can discover a talent from the lower class samurai. The disaster relief work was handed over to Chuemon, but Tokugawa Ieki could still send Mebu to monitor it.

   Is it an inspection? If you pass the inspection, Chuemon is on Tokugawa Ieki’s loyalty list. If it doesn't pass, then it is estimated that you can only pay a little salary and send it far away to be a faraway country to follow.

   I didn't think of so many Tademons, I just thought that there were no people in the castle now, and I picked the bigger one among the short ones and chose myself. Since the matter was so big, since he couldn't make a decision, Tademon called all his few friends who could be discussed. Everyone brainstormed to see what the final solution would be.

   It has only been a year since Chuemon Gate has crossed over, and he is not very familiar with the people's favor. Suddenly assuming such an important task, there is no way to do it perfectly, but to do it as best as possible.

   Amano Hachiro is a few years older than Chuemon, and he spends a lot of time outside, and he is obviously more knowledgeable. When he heard Chuemon's question, he didn't have any surprises. Aloft, the master of Kabamoto, who will never leave Edo for almost his entire life, does not understand the actual life of the people at the bottom, this is nothing more than normal.

  If you are willing to "ask without shame," like Chuemon, that would be considered a good official. Those who are bad, except when they receive the annual tribute, will never appear in front of the people.

   "My lord, do you know that Kurami 100,000 stone, is it new rice 100,000 stone, or old rice, or even old old rice 100,000 stone?" Amano Hachiro asked Chuemon straightly.

   "I don't know..." Chuemon hasn't gone to collect it yet, of course I don't know.

   "Does the lord know that food prices have fallen sharply after autumn, and the market prices of new and old rice?"

   "I don't know..."

   "Does the lord know the market price of this iron pot and firewood?"

   "I don't know..."

   "Hahahahahahaha..." Seeing Tadaoemon asked three questions, Amano Hachiro shook his head and laughed.

   Together with you, it’s really a black eye to come out to help the victims. Even if he knew that Chuemon was driving ducks to the shelves, I never thought that this duck really couldn't even flap its wings.

   "The lord should know the so-called floating wave minions."

   "I know this!" Finally there was something he knew, and Chuemon immediately nodded.

   Now that I know it, it's easy to talk about the follow-up. In order to revitalize the countryside, Mizuno issued a "return order". Therefore, many farmers who originally worked in Edo have been repatriated back to their places of origin. But even so, there are also a large number of hitters under Edo Castle.

  Because Edo Castle Town has been expanding during these two hundred years, just like Shibuya mentioned before. Shibuya was purely a rural area two hundred years ago, but now it has become the suburban part of the urban-rural fringe. This is because the entire city is expanding, and many farmers have become landless farmers.

   After being forced to become the so-called town people, women can spin yarn and weave at home, but what about men? They have no accounting and financial management, textile and papermaking skills, so they have become thieves. Working hard, serving as a servant, and playing hands are all the most normal. This has led to the fact that there are more than 100,000 people in Edo, who are completely low-level laborers, and their lives are very difficult.

   On the other hand, the promulgation of the return order has led to the deportation of refugees to their hometowns. But farmers in the neighborhood of Edo, because they are close to Edo, and Edo City needs these farmers to deliver daily necessities such as firewood, drinking water, and vegetables to Edo day and night. Therefore, the ban imposed relatively small restrictions on the counties around Edo, allowing farmers to work in the city for no more than 60 days during the slack period.

   The uneven distribution of the rich and the poor in the entire society eventually led to a large number of bachelors in the Edo city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They have no families, or they have families but are far away. When they are alone, they never make a fire to cook, and live on cheap sushi or noodles for a dozen dollars. Compared to buying water, firewood, cooking utensils, and tableware, taking out is not only cheaper, but also more convenient.

Compared with the south of the city where “people” live, the northern part of the city does not light a fire for cooking, and goes out to work at sunrise, and then returns to the chase bunk of the long house to sleep at sunset. The cycle goes on and off without a day’s rest. 667 living hit workers.

   Send rice to such a person. It is very likely that it is three to five years old rice. How do they cook? To sell it for money? I'm afraid that the sale price is not enough to eat a sushi meal.

   More importantly, except for Chuemon, who can use the power of the government to mobilize a large amount of firewood in an iron pot. Who else can provide 200,000 people with a bite of hot soup and rice?

   "That's it!" Chuemon nodded.

   If it were not for Hachiro Amano in the private sector, the number of men and women in Edo Castle is extremely unbalanced, with many men and few women, and there are a large number of poor bachelors who work. This is not clear to Chuemon.

   "So if Mr. Guo wants to help the victims, then he needs to raise at least hundreds of cauldrons, hire the people, cook rice day and night, and distribute it with salt or miso to ensure the people's stability!"

   "Teached, taught!"

   "It's just a matter of its own accord." Hachiro Amano has nothing to show off. This Edo has become like this, and there is also a "credit" for him and the farmers he convened. Now he is making suggestions, but he should.

   "Nasuke Roku, you go to contact the great merchants in the city and buy 500 large iron pots, as for firewood." Chungemon looked at the demolition waste that was randomly discarded inside and outside the moat, piled up like a mountain.
