"Why does the Kyushu army always regard our Edo Castle as their Tokyo, whether it is Tokyo School or Tokyo Branch, they now named their motorcycles 'Tokyo', which is clear." Tadao Abe was depressed when he learned that the steam locomotive from Yokohama to Edo Castle was called the Tokyo.

Because of the influence of the Kyushu Army, even some people in Edo Castle called the city they live in Tokyo. This seemed to sound even more noble, making their shogunate worried that their residents would be influenced by the Kyushu Army. Over time, Edo Castle in the shogunate might really become Tokyo of the Kyushu Army.

Tadao Abe could hear the people around him discussing railways and trains. After these people who had never seen a train came over, they were not so shocked. Instead, they were surprised why there were magical objects like trains. For them, the Kyushu Army was like a god of omnipotence, and it was able to make a "black dragon" made of steel run without horsepower or manpower. Such a ability is not a god of celestial spirit, how can we explain it?

"The people of Edo Castle have already respected the Kyushu army as gods, but our innovation cannot produce results that we can see with our own eyes..." Yukien Aoyama, who has been to the capital of China, expressed his despair.

Tadao Sakai patted his shoulder: "Mr. Aoyama, let's take a step by step. The depth of the Kyushu Army is not something we can match in a short while."

Yukien Aoyama said depressedly: "I have to do this."

The reformist shogunate was greatly hit by the opening of the railway, and their confidence began to shake. Other conservative ministers saw the train for the first time and were shocked to realize the strength of the Kyushu army. It seemed that what the reformist did was right.

When Da Yuer looked at the "Tokyo" locomotive, she found that the model was similar to the "Industrial Number", which shows that the manufacturing process of the steam locomotive was relatively mature.

"In the future, we have the Tokyo locomotive and the steam locomotive. In the future, when we return to Zhongyuan on holiday, we can take the Tokyo locomotive directly to Yokohama Port, and then take the Yongchang at Yokohama Port." said the employee of the Dongjin branch.

"It's indeed much more convenient." When Da Yu'er saw that the railway was successfully opened to traffic, she was also thinking about what she was responsible for.

The Tokyo Branch has now almost defeated Edo Bank, occupying more than 90% of the market share, monopolizing the trade between China and Japan. At the same time, the Tokyo Branch is trying and working hard for banknotes - the banknotes issued by the Tokyo Branch have been put into use.

Bank coupons can be exchanged for gold coins and silver coins at the Tokyo branch, at the same price as gold and silver, and are popular because of their convenience of carrying. By issuing bank coupons, the Tokyo branch exchanged paper for a large amount of gold and silver to fill its own gold and silver reserves.

In the currency market of Japan, in addition to the copper coins, silver coins and gold coins minted by the shogunate, there are also bank vouchers from the Tokyo Branch and Edo Bank. The Tokyo Branch is equivalent to stealing some of the currency issuance rights in disguise. If the Tokyo Branch does not issue bank vouchers in a restrained manner, it can even cause turmoil in the currency market of Japan.

"Maybe it's time to try to promote the company system. Merchants must trade in the name of the company, and submit reports to the Far East Trading Company every year to tax their income. Merchants are too powerful and may not be easy to control in the future." Da Yuer thought about promoting the company system.

The reason why Chu Yun asked her to choose Japan as a test field was because Japan now has unique advantages. If Japan's economy was collapsed by Da Yu'er, it was not a Japanese province after all, so it was not necessary to be responsible, so there was naturally a shogunate to take the blame. Another important thing is that if merchants who traded with Japan did not abide by the new measures, they would be expelled from this market by the Far East Trading Company. Therefore, Chinese merchants must abide by the new rules of the game.

If Da Yuer forcibly implements the company system, then these merchants also have to "register a company" to continue to make money in the Japanese market.

However, the implementation of the company system will definitely harm the interests of big businessmen - no big businessman is willing to let the tax department know the origin of every income they earn, so they will not be able to evade taxes.

Once the big businessman gets angry, even if the reform is successful, someone needs to sacrifice to calm their anger, and this person is usually the advocate, that is, herself.

Da Yu'er was a little melancholy, but she gritted her teeth and decided to try to implement the company system as soon as possible. In addition to being the deputy president of the Tokyo branch, she is also a temporary director of Far East Trading Company, and can coordinate the two major institutions to ensure the implementation of the company system.

Da Yu'er didn't know how much turmoil would cause after her secret decision. What she wanted to take away the interests of the rising Chinese businessmen, and their energy was very large.

"The construction of the Yokohama-Edo Castle Railway is just a start. In the future, a main line running through Honshu Island, Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, and Hokkaido will be built, valuable resources will be exploited, and our goods will be sold to any corner of Honshu Island." The official of the Railway Construction Committee responsible for building this section of the railway pointed to a blueprint.

In this schematic diagram of the construction of the Japanese railway, the railway trunk line runs through almost the four islands of the Japanese. If Tadao Sakai knew that the Kyushu army had already had a detailed railway construction plan for the entire Japanese railway, if he knew this blueprint, he would have been stunned. The railway network he wanted to build, he did not expect that the Kyushu army would know more clearly than their shogunate where to build the railway.

"It's a pity that we don't have enough resources to realize this construction plan as soon as possible. Now the focus of the Ministry of Revenue is on domestic construction, so it is already difficult for us to build this section of railway." Shi Daxuan said.

Because the Jiuzhou Army can garrison troops along the railway. If the railway artery that runs through the entire Japanese Kingdom is built, it will be equivalent to realizing direct control over the Japanese Kingdom. Shi Daxuan is very eager for this. He really wants to garrison troops in the entire Japanese Kingdom, but the domestic railway network has not been completed yet. If you want to build such a long railway network in the Japanese Kingdom, you really can't afford enough money.

"Take it slow, our Railway Construction Committee will send someone to inspect in the next period of time. We will work with the Academy of Sciences to find out the distribution of minerals, agricultural and sideline products and population in Japan to plan a better railway network." said an official from the Railway Construction Committee.

"And if we propose such a railway construction plan now, the shogunate would probably be crazy." Shi Daxuan couldn't imagine what the consequences would be for the shogunate to know.
