Edo Traveler

It turned out to be you kid!

　　Tadaemon couldn't help but glanced twice at Tomohou Wudai, but now he is only a young man sent to Edo by the Satsuma clan to study, and he does not have the kind of vibe that later generations would call for the wind and rain in the mall while intervening in politics.

　　 The five generations are a big family in Shimadzu's family. At that time, Shimazu Yoshihiro and his son Shimazu Iku (Shimazu Tadashi) were the elders of the five generations of Yuki. The decisive battle that determined the fate of Shimadzu and Ito, in the battle of Kisakihara, the five generations of Toki led forty soldiers, as the fishing hook of the fishing field, attracted Ito Yuan, and made a great contribution to the victory.

　　 has been passed down to the five generations of Tomohiro's father, Gozai Naizaemon Hidekazu, it is still Yubi and pursuing the Shimadzu family. The upright Shimadzu sergeant has a much stronger position than those corporals who come from behind.

　　 But it's a pity that Wudai Youhou is the second child in the family, which is going to die in the feudal inheritance law. One of the more obvious signs of the shogunate system is the establishment of the eldest male or direct male succession system. Try to avoid the horrible things of the Warring States period, where father and son cannibalized, and brothers smashed the wall.

　　 So the family business can only be inherited by his brother, and he has to earn a future for himself.

　　 Says that, but after all, the family is high, and the father has real power, it is impossible to see the second son and nothing can be done. Therefore, in addition to sending Wudaiyouhou to study, Wudaiyouhou was also sent to Shimazu Yujiro as a surname.

　　 Satsuma lord Shimazu Tadashi is a steady conservative, with a reform mindset, but not radical. I prefer young people who have broad vision and talents among the Samurai warriors. Those who can only talk and talk, are not favored by Shimadzu Tadao.

　　 Wudai Youhou, who is 22 years old this year, was selected to study at the Nagasaki Naval School in history. Now the history is different, and he was sent to Edo University to study for the preparatory course by Shimazu Tadashi. Not surprisingly, I should go to France next year to study at the French Military Academy of Saint Cyr.

　　 just started to learn French, and the five generations of friends who have a good understanding of Western knowledge were used by the Shimadzu sect. Anyway, he just started to talk about the sugar factory, and there are no plans yet, it's all in the mind of Chungemon. It's just that young people like Youhou, who have experienced the five generations of Youhou, are training talents for Satsuma.

　　 Come on, everyone, let's start talking.

　　 First of all, the first point, don't think about eating three bites to become a big fat man, French machinery and engineers have to be mobilized from France. It will take a year at the earliest. So now it only needs Satsuma to start preparations, including pre-planning land under Kagoshima Castle, building factories, and recruiting a group of obedient and capable workers as laborers after the machines are delivered.

　　 France can also send technicians from Annan to investigate the sugar situation in Satsuma and Ryukyu. The old indigenous method of sugar production was mainly low in yield and could not make the best use of it. As for the sugar bleaching and not bleaching, I will talk about it later.

　　As the colonial hub of France in East Asia, Annan naturally has sugar factories, and the climate is quite warm and humid, which is suitable for the growth of sugarcane. Sugar is also one of Annan's important products, but Annan's modern sugar industry has not started for long, and investment is not very sufficient.

　　 After all, the entire French Indochina branch (shielded) that colony is quite large, and France’s main investment must first be concentrated in the transportation industry to increase its control over the entire Indochina Peninsula. One thousand words, ten thousand words, the Indo-China Peninsula must be controlled first before subsequent investment is necessary.

　　Who knew that in the end, the British Swire Foreign Company took the lead...

　　 "In fact, our country also has beets." After talking about Beihuatai's beet planting plan, Roche thought about it.

　　 "The French varieties are not suitable for the climate of Katai Island." Of course, Chuemon knew that France also grows beet.

　　 As for this matter, it has something to do with Napoleon. In order to attack Britain, Napoleon issued the "Mainland Blockade Order." Your European continent blockades the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom is actually blocking your entire continent.

At that time, European sugar was mainly produced and sold from the Americas. The most famous place of origin was the country that later generations had been unanimously identified as incurable to the extreme by all member states of the United Nations-Haiti, also the colony of Saint Dominic. .

　　In 1767 alone, 72 million pounds of raw sugar and 52 million pounds of white sugar were exported to Europe. In 1780, St. Dominic provided 40% of the cane sugar and 60% of the coffee on the European market.

　　In order to stabilize this place, Napoleon even sent 20,000 troops to suppress and maintain the local colonial rule and sugar production. However, the result was little effect, and in the end Haiti was independent.

　　 In desperation, Napoleon had the idea of ​​sugar beet. This is why France has no sugar cane production area, but it is one of the most advanced sugar-making countries in Europe. It's also forced out alive, it won't work if you don't study it.

There are not so many things that people can use to replenish energy these days. UU reading www.uukanshu.com eats a lot of sugar, which is similar to army soldiers or labor workers. It is the easiest and easiest way to replenish the energy needed by the body. .

　　 Why did the U.S. military have chocolate candies and Coca-Cola in its logistics during World War II? In addition to providing more abundant food for the soldiers, it maintained the morale of the soldiers. To put it more bluntly, chocolate and Coca-Cola are high in calories. If you drink eight bottles of Coca-Cola a day, you won’t even have to eat, and you will be panicked.

　　 "Russian sugar beet, what can your country do?" Rosh thought for a while, but also figured it out.

　　 The southern part has a Mediterranean climate, and the northern part is a French region with a humid North Atlantic oceanic climate. The beets grown are indeed no better than the beets grown in Russia.

　　 "If your Excellency can find it for our country, then the friendship between our two countries can be greatly deepened. If it doesn't work, it won't hurt, our country can use Prussian beets." Chugoemon only wants French technology, other things don't matter.

　　 "Don't worry!" Roche waved his hand, indicating that Tadaoemon shouldn't have to trouble any Prussians.

"kindness?"

　　 "Beets suitable for Huatai, wrap me." Roche smiled and nodded.

　　 France, as the imperialist loan shark, has invested hundreds of millions of francs in Russia. The money lent to Tsarist Russia is not in the minority. Many aristocratic officials in Tsarist Russia took advantage of the French.

　　 With the face of his France, not to mention just a few beets, even news about the life and diet of His Majesty can be revealed.
