Edo Traveler

Vol 2 Chapter 22: Takashima Clan in Shimo Nagasaki

  Tahara Clan hired ten servants for Chuemon, and ordered them to carry Watanabe Kazan's manuscripts, and follow Chuemon back to Edo, where they were subject to verification by the shogunate.

  Thinking about it, the collection of books is more than one thousand kilograms. If there is no accident, it is impossible to see it in person, such as the old prime minister like Mizuno Tadakuni, or the general affairs-ridden Edo priest like Yuan Shanyuan.

   It's not just a small worker from Chuyemon who came to see!

   It was just what I wanted. Chuemon actually didn't know the paintings and calligraphy. They will be Japanese national treasures worth millions or even tens of millions of yen in the future. Now they are all tied together at will by Chuemon Gate, and they don't even have the idea of ​​mounting them. Chuemon only cared about the orchid studies and some of Watanabe's own research results on orchid studies.

   As for our little friend Heizo, it was probably the body impact of Watanabe Huashan for more than 20 days. Anyway, it hasn't been relieved, and it has been more than a day without eating. I vomit when I eat it, and I vomit when I drink rice soup. The shadow of the young man seems to be quite big, and it is normal to think about it.

   Probably because he saw Heizo's appearance, I'm afraid there was something wrong on the way back to Heizo. The people of Tianyuan Clan thought about going there or they carried him two people, so they sent them to Edo. Chuemon was soaked in Heizo's light, and got a horse. This horse was fine. At least he stood up as high as Chuemon, and his shoulder height could be more than 1.3 meters.

   is nothing but a hideous workhorse, being led by people to walk forward slowly, even Chugoemon, who can hardly ride a horse, can sit firmly on it. It looks like that, similar to the junior high school students who experience the pony in the later park.

   I wandered all the way to Edo and came to the side of the Oi River. It was a coincidence. There was another short rainstorm upstream. Ojingchuan couldn't cross the river by treading water anymore, and a group of powerful men stood by the river, soliciting guests back and forth.

   Chungemon doesn't need to be used to them this time, our mission has been completed, and there is no need to hold back the day on the way back. After all, it’s not the hot weather and Watanabe Huashan has been dead for more than ten days on the way to go, but you can’t get anything if you go too late. Back to Edo now, the adults above are so busy, it takes two or three days to queue up to report, who is in a hurry!

(One more word here, Oigawa’s personal affairs seem to have nothing to do with the main storyline, but I wrote nearly a thousand words, and some people are very puzzled. Think about why I want to border the Suruga country, the gateway to Kanto. The difficulty of crossing the river in Oigawa is described. Perhaps in the future, it will be a great military achievement!)

  Ka Chuemon is not in a hurry, there are always people rushing across the river. Speaking of Japan, there is also a strict identity hierarchy, as well as restrictions on clothing materials that are allowed to be worn by each level. This is a long story, not to mention it, and the control has been loosened in the late Edo period. However, the basic identity information such as samurai or shogunate employees who can be samurai swords, and powerful merchants who can carry fine white silk, is basically nothing wrong.

  Before Chuemon came, because Hei Santo had a saber and was well-dressed, powerful people could judge that the two were serving in the shogunate, and had enough income to feed and wear, and had a certain degree of power as a samurai.

   is five hundred dollars!

   Although the Tokugawa shogunate is almost at the end of its madness, it has already begun to mint iron and large coins. This has led to the exchange of one or two gold for three or four thousand small coins in the market. But combined with commodity prices, the price of 500 yuan is still quite high. In Edo, where the cost of living is among the highest in Japan, there is rarely such a high consumption.

   It may be that he had some impressions of Chuemon Heizo, and saw that the two of them were baggage and livestock. The business mission might be urgent. A few days ago, the strength of the two people who had made the same money, actually walked up with a smile, and took the initiative to ask Chuemon and two people if they were going to cross the river.

   Heizo waved his hand to the man even though he hadn't fully slowed down, and he almost made him roll. I have already earned a vote. This time, I have to wait for a day. When the water level drops, I can only pass it after my calf is gone.

   That is so powerful that it is a bachelor, anyway, they clearly mark the price, there is no strong buying or selling, you can't love it. The shogunate law does not stipulate how much each service should be quoted. They make legitimate money.

   "I thought Donghae Street was the street to Edo. It should be a thoroughfare, but I don't know that there is such a situation!"

  An old middle-aged man next to Chuemon Gate looked a little sighing. The little old man was about fifty years old, in good spirits, and dressed as a samurai. It is normal that it is a samurai from which poor feudal clan from the West Kingdom came to Edo. The shogunate stipulated that the daimyo should stay in Edo.

   And Donghai Street is in a sense an official road that leads directly to the capital. There will be cases of impassability. From the point of view of outsiders, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ really can't believe it.

   "Don't ask those powerful, samurai crossing the river, 500 dollars per person, a lot of money!" Seeing that the little old man is a samurai, he was also an enthusiastic reminder.

   "Five hundred dollars! Five hundred dollars!..." The little old man looked incredible.

  Retainers and warriors of the outer domain like them usually use Weibo for their salaries. The Watanabe Huashan in front is the elder of the Tianyuan Clan, and his salary is only 120 shi a year. Let’s talk about a more famous one, Xixiang Longsheng, how much do you think he is? There are zeros and wholes, forty-seven stones.

   Recently, all the vassals in the world are poor, and their salaries are often halved. If it weren't for Heizo and Chuemon to receive their wages directly from Tokugawa Iekei, they would be like the little old man in front of them, sighing at the water, and there is no money to cross the river.

   "So you might as well wait a day or two for the water to fall and then you can wade across the river." Chungemon didn't want to suffer the knife, so he persuaded the little old man.

   That little old man is not alone, there are two followers behind him, like Chuemon, carrying a lot of salutes and books. It must be stationed in Edo, otherwise I wouldn't even bring all of his belongings.

   If they, one master, two servants, and three people want to cross the river, three people are 1,500 yuan, and two boxes of things and people are also the same price. That adds up to 2,500 yuan, which is not too far away from gold.

   One or two gold to the country warrior, is that called money? That's fate!

   "But this, under the order of Prime Minister Matsudaira Hamamatsu, I must rush to Edo to report within this month!" The little old man looked a little sad, as if he still had some task on his shoulders.

   "Hamamatsu Hou? I also went out on business under the order of Hamamatsu Hou. I don't know Kisuke?" Chuemon was curious.

   "In Shiro Nagasaki, Dr. Shiro Takashima, Akiho!"
