"Takaaki Abe, your Edo Bank is booming, why are you still frowning?"

Tadao Sakai brought dozens of samurai to Edo Bank. Through the shogunate reform, he saw the hope of the shogunate, and the shadow brought by the Kyushu army gradually disappeared. He believed that through the efforts of the change factions, the shogunate would eventually be able to compete with the Kyushu army.

"Otaya from the Tokyo Branch personally escorted more than a dozen carriages to our Edo Castle... I always feel that she wants to make trouble, Sakai Jun, what do you think?" Edo Bank President Tadao Abe asked Tadaka Sakai with a bitter face.

Although he felt that Da Yuer wanted to make trouble, he was puzzled.

There were too few clues provided to him! I only knew that dozens of soldiers from the Beiyang Fleet and more than a dozen carriages arrived in Edo Castle. I didn’t even know what was installed on the carriage.

"She is just a woman, what's there to worry about? The reason we were afraid of her a year ago was because we didn't know her identity and purpose. But after we went to China, I knew that she was just an ordinary official of the Kyushu Military Revenue Department. We came to Japan just to serve as the deputy president of their Tokyo branch. And in the past year, she was not the same as that President Qian? The Tokyo branch has been completely trampled by Edo Bank." Sakai Tadaokazu Sakai said.

"Your statement is not unreasonable, but if a dog bites does not bark, underestimating the opponent will pay a heavy price." Tadao Abe said worriedly.

"Send people to monitor her more. If you find it difficult, you can find a way to get rid of her. This time I came to the bank to study steam engines for loans. The trains, armored ships, and textile machines of the Kyushu Army cannot be separated from steam engines as power. The steam engines in our factory are all purchased from Chinese merchants, and their technical workers are responsible for repairs. Our people have no understanding of its principles and structures. Therefore, I need a fund to set up a special factory to develop steam engines, interrupting the Kyushu Army's monopoly on us." Tadaoka Sakai said.

"Kun Sakai, you have taken nearly one million taels of silver from our Jianghu Bank. We are also struggling to leave most of the deposits to you." Tadao Abe frowned.

"The purpose of Edo Bank was to prepare for the factory. The construction of the factory requires a lot of money, especially buying machines from the Kyushu Army, which cost money like flowing water!"

Tadao Sakai was so angry that in order to build the factory, he had to buy machines from the Kyushu Army at a high price, almost three to ten times the market price, making one million taels of silver not enough to spend!

"The purpose of developing the steam engine is also to break the Kyushu Army's monopoly on machines. In the future, we will not have to buy machines from them at a sky-high price." Sakai Tadaokazuki said.

"Okay, I'll have another 50,000 taels of silver here, which I can temporarily use for you to develop a steam engine." Tadao Abe thought for a moment and said in pain.

"Fifty thousand taels are not enough, at least one hundred thousand taels." Sakai Tadaokazu Sakai said.

"100,000 taels! Sakai Jun, you are making things difficult for me... Well, I will find a way to attract more deposits. But the factory must make a profit next year, otherwise our Edo Bank will not be able to pay interest to the depositors." Tadao Abe said.

"The products we produce locally will definitely be popular in the local area. Please rest assured that this is. Even if one million taels of silver is poured into the sea, you can hear the echoes, right?" Tadaoka Sakai was not very worried.

The goods produced by local Japanese factories do not have to bear the trans-ocean transportation costs, so I don’t believe that they can’t compete with Chinese goods.

"I hope so." Tadao Abe has a lot of worries.

In a rice shop in Edo Castle, Mitsui, the owner of the rice shop, met a big customer.

"Two thousand stones of rice?! This uncle, your order is too big. I have to send someone to the granary to check if there is enough rice." The rice shop owner hesitated when he received this big order, "Can you base the market price?"

"Yes, all two thousand stones of rice are bought at the market price."

Another big customer came in another rice shop: "Three Thousand Stones of Rice."

"One thousand stones of rice! What? You only have eight hundred stones? Then eight hundred stones."

"Five hundred stones of rice!"

Rice shops of all sizes in Edo Castle were almost swept away at the same time. Most of the granaries of these rice shops were shipped out of the city and were transported directly.

In the Tokyo Academy, Tanaka Chengyi, the leader of the Chinese Association, sat under a tree, surrounded by several newly promoted Chinese Association backbones.

"The above are ready to carry out a major action to make the shogunate lose the hearts of the people. We will be the main force to join this action. If we can gain support from the people in this action, the influence of our Huaxia Association will be further expanded. At that time, the Kyushu Army will have to accept us and accept the plan I proposed to "get rid of the barbarians and enter China."

Tanaka Seiichi used a branch to mark three places on the ground: "You take people to the rice shop, so... you take people to the bank... And your team is the most important thing, be sure to spread the news. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" several backbones responded.

"Operation separate! The killer sent by the shogunate last year killed all the old group of backbones. I am almost the only survivor. Since you are willing to follow me on the road to resist the shogunate, please put life and death aside!" Tanaka Sei scanned these backbones and saw firmness in their eyes.

The Huaxia, which was enemies of the shogunate, not only was not defeated by the shogunate, but instead promoted a group of loyalists who followed him, Tanaka Naiichi. Most of these people were poor children who had been bullied by the samurai class, but they were only about twenty years old, and they were the most vigorous and life-and-death age.

The shogunate gradually collapsed and avenged his companions who would die in China in the past! Tanaka Sei's resentment against the shogunate became deeper, and he almost died at the hands of the shogunate killer.

The backbone of the China Association quickly led members of the China Association to sneak into various parts of Edo Castle.

Huang Zongxi, the dean of the Tokyo Academy, held his hands behind his back. When he saw Tanaka Seiichi and others leaving the Tokyo Academy, he shook his head. He was originally sent by Chu Yun to educate the people here, but many of the students he trained joined Tanaka Seiichi's Chinese Association to fight the shogunate. The conflict between the samurai class and the poor peasants was very fierce.

If ordinary people collide with the ceremonial guards of warriors, the samurai would be innocent of killing them on the spot. So Sakai Tadakichi dared to provoke even Otaku on that day.
