In fact, it is not surprising that Oguri was angry. In the "Trial Decree" of the shogunate after the great evaluation of Feng Shushu, in addition to "building coastal defenses and reforming the military system" and "paying attention to Feng Shuo, knowing oneself and the enemy", there were many measures that hurt Mr. Egawa Tanan's career.

Benefit.

If the first two laws marginalize Egawa and Oguri, then the next few laws begin to strip away the rights that originally belonged to Mr. Tanan.

Why do several parties unite to oppress Mr. Tan'an?

One of them is that Mr. Tan'an is the recognized leader of Lan School, and he is hated by people - he is second in martial arts and first in Wen Wu. Lan scholars often argue with Confucian scholars, and there is no good talk between them. Naturally, all kinds of hats are flying everywhere, especially

Shilan scholars say that Confucian scholars are "useless scholars." This really hurts the Confucian scholars' lungs.

The official school of the shogunate, Changpinghuang, only taught Zhu Xi's Confucianism, and most of the ministers had studied in Changpinghuang or its branches. Therefore, Confucian scholars always had the upper hand in debates between the government and the public.

However, flowers never last a hundred days. In recent years, Orchidism has flourished. The shogunate, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, was unable to suppress Ekawa Tarozaemon, the leader of Orchidism.

Originally, after Jiangchuan included agriculture into Lanxue, Confucian scholars were losing ground - agriculture has always been regarded as a miscellaneous art of Confucianism, and whether it belongs to Confucianism is still open to question. However, Fusang regarded agriculture as the country's foundation at this time, and Lanxue.

Since scholars can come up with golden fertilization in winter, fairy water (soil fertilizer), fish farming in rice fields, wheelbarrows, windmills, fruit tree grafting and better methods of silkworm breeding and livestock breeding, then the Confucian scholars can only do it and dare not

Make a sound.

Moreover, in recent years, the dispute between Orchid medicine and Han medicine has become increasingly fierce, with Han medicine losing ground in this regard.

How come the academic disputes between medical science and Confucianism and Orchidism are mixed together? Because there is no separation between science and medicine. Han doctors are often Confucian scholars, and Orchidists are even more extreme. They are all Orchid scholars.

At that time, smallpox, measles and chickenpox were called the "three diseases of life" and were considered to be incurable. But this orchid science could actually cure smallpox.

Chinese medicine also had methods to treat smallpox, but the risk was very high.

In 1796, the Englishman Jenner invented the cowpox vaccination method inspired by the variolation method. In 1842, the Sardinian Dr. Negli improved the safety of the vaccine and discovered a method for mass production of the vaccine. After

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Lanyi Nakamura Ryoan, Narabayashi Eiken and others in Fuso, vaccination parlors are now widespread even though they cannot be said to be everywhere. The particularly famous ones are Mr. Genpo Ito in Edo and Mr. Koan Ogata in Osaka.

The vaccination parlor.

On November 7, 1849 (December 21, 1849), Koan Ogata opened an "acne removal clinic" in Fute Town, and almost at the same time, Mr. Genpo also started to practice in his own medical clinic in Edo.

Vaccinating people on a scale.

There are folk rumors that vaccination with cowpox will cause children to turn into monsters and even grow horns, but parents' determination to protect their children cannot be stopped by rumors. The rumors were dispelled after Mr. Xuan Pu and Mr. Hong An vaccinated their children.

It can't be true. Although the vaccinia surgery at this time still has certain risks, the townspeople still flock to it.

Moreover, in recent years, Orchid Medicine has also developed new methods for measles and chickenpox, which are the "three diseases of life". They include ventilation, disinfection, isolation and cooling, and external application. The effect is quite good. Disinfection is just a matter of removing external evils. Ventilation is just like Han.

The medicine's prevention of "wind evil" conflicted, but the effect of ventilation was really good, so Han medicine suffered a huge defeat.

Treating illnesses and saving lives, good doctors are universally respected in all eras. With Mr. Hong An and Mr. Xuan Pu as their two golden signatures, the image of Lan Xue has been greatly improved in the eyes of the world - originally it was a misunderstanding caused by lack of understanding. After in-depth understanding, misunderstandings are natural.

eliminate.

This is the case among the people, and Confucian scholars accept it. After all, it is difficult for mud-legged people to understand the secrets of the way of saints because they value profit. But what is going on with the ministers, officials and princes?

Jiangchuan also developed cement, briquettes and large-scale iron smelting in Niushan. These were all things that benefited the country and the shogunate, and they had to agree even if they pinched their noses.

If it was just Jiang Chuan, it would be fine. After all, it is well known that Jiang Chuan has an iron head and nine oxen can't pull it back. Normal people would not want to argue with Jiang Chuan about the merits of Lan Xue, but Lan Xue has now spread to the whole Fuso.

It's no longer enough to ignore it.

Seeing that the Niu Mountain has a bumper crop every year, other places in Kanto naturally follow the same example - quarrels are quarrels, there is more food, and the products are abundant, benefiting everyone from the acting officials to the common people, there is no way to stop them, and who is willing to stop them?

Even the shogunate senior officials recognized his own money bag. Who dared to do anything wrong before it was too late for promotion!

Let’s not talk about Saga. Orchid learning is very popular in Nagasaki. A few years ago, they made a fortune by making glass. Now they have also successfully made iron and started making large tubes to make money. The head of the Nabeshima family is a famous abacus master, so he may not be able to

Thinking about the long term, the purpose of engaging in orchid studies is to make a fortune. In the future, retainers who are disrespectful will naturally suffer.

But what happened to Satsuma and Tosa?

Oh, the new head of the Satsuma family is Shimazu Saibin, a famous orchid lover. He grew up with his grandpa Shigehao, so it is not surprising that the orchid school industry is greatly promoted in Kagoshima.

Saga and Satsuma are like this, but you thick-browed big-eyed guy, what’s going on with the Tosayamauchi family and the Uwajima Date family?

In the first year of Kayei (1848), after Yamauchi Toyonobu succeeded the family head, he quietly developed a large business.

It is said that Toyonobu had a subordinate named Yoshida Kanbei Motoyoshi, who was very powerful and excelled in both agriculture and business:

He supported and expanded the original Tosa sake industry. Now Kochi and Kobe Nada Gogo are known as the two major wine countries of Fuso. Tosa Tsuru now has one gold and one pot, and this money makes a lot of money.

At the same time, Tosana is a place with mountains and seas and not even a few flat areas. Nowadays, it is famous for its high-quality rice varieties. Every year, the money from the sale of high-quality rice varieties is used to buy ordinary rice. I heard that in that poor place in Aki County, you could only eat rice in the past.

It's amazing that the people from the Taro Mountains can occasionally eat rice at night.

Have you ever heard of making a fortune in silence? When you have money, you should keep a low profile, and don't be afraid of the shogunate coming to ask for generous gifts.

But this Yoshida Kanbei just publicizes it, lest others don’t know that Tosa’s wine is good and its improved breeds are highly profitable, and he often asks businessmen to promote new products, saying that Tosa has recently bred new breeds of cattle that eat more and work more, and they don’t want to breed them.

Those are not good farmers.

Listen, what kind of "hybrid" are the improved varieties of rice and cattle produced? The name doesn't sound like a serious idea. Moreover, in order to promote the improved varieties of cattle, Yoshida also claims to be able to "artificial insemination". If you buy a breeding cow, you can ask for it.

Multiple cows are used to propagate seeds. When the cows are tired, people can help. How can people help? It sounds ridiculous and offensive!

The Uwajima Date house on the edge of Tosa is not a worry either.

Date Munejo's face was as long as a horse, and he didn't look like a serious family head.

Sure enough, it was rumored this year that Uwajima's real pearls are also artificially cultured. It is said that they are the work of the family's most favored orchid doctor, Seiko Ninomiya Keisaku. For a little profit, he actually forced the mother oyster to produce pearls, which is harmful to the world.

No, it’s a big harm to Tianhe. Just wait and see, there will definitely be retribution in the future!

Kanto, Kyushu and Shikoku are no longer a paradise, and other places have followed suit, such as the Choshu Mori family on Sanyo Road, the Kaga Maeda family on Hokuriku Road, the Sendai Matsudaira family (Date) and Morioka on Higashiyama Road.

Southern families are planning to build reverberatory furnaces, and it is said that retainers who are Lan scholars are very popular.

In this situation where Orchidism was rampant, Confucian scholars could no longer sit still. Confucian scholars headed by the Lin family, head of the hereditary university in Changpinghuang, also participated in the transaction behind the evaluation of Feng Shuo Shu.

Respecting teachers and respecting morality is not just a matter of words. Not only does the public have to listen to Su Confucian lectures, but the shogun also has Confucian scholars as advisors around him.

During the Edo period, when the shogunate was under the rule of law, both the shogunate and the feudal lords actually paid equal attention to two systems: the shogunate and feudal system headed by the elders or clan elders, and the side system headed by the family head, because both the shogunate and the feudal lords ultimately had to obtain a general or a shogunate.

The family head’s permission, so the family head’s closeness can gain great political power - at best, it can help the family head fill in the gaps and check for leaks, and see if there is anything that the middle-aged or family elders have not considered carefully; the ironic saying is that "

Incompetent bungler".

The shogunate is surrounded by people such as the imperial servants, the imperial servants, the high priests, the confucians, and the okuka scholars. These people are equivalent to the private secretaries and advisers of the public - the first three of which are the daimyo or the daimyo.

In the post of Shenqiben, Confucianism is monopolized by the first department of Lin University, while Aozhi Confucianism is completely filled by famous Confucian scholars.

This time the reform of the shogunate was carried out on the grounds of the great appraisal of Feng Shushu, the people who were divided later were in addition to the pro-vassal and genealogical daimyo headed by the royal servants, Lao Zhong and Qi Zhao, and the daimyo daimyo headed by Dai Mufu and Liang Feng.

Otherwise, how could the "trial decree" be passed so quickly if it were not for the long-term collusion, and the Confucian scholars headed by the "Confucian" Lin Datou?

People have been quarreling for a long time, and there will be no results without a year or two of fighting.

If you can't beat your opponents, then join them. Wrong, that's not the sentence, it's "for my own use" - Confucian scholars' calculations hit Lan scholars

on the basis of.

Confucian scholars were in charge of the official school Chang Pinghuang and only taught Zhu Zi's Confucianism. However, Lan scholars were not without an official organization. This organization was the "Bureau of Imperial Reconciliation of Tibetan Books" - an organization under the Astronomical Affairs Bureau of the shogunate.

In 1811, Takahashi Sakuzaemon Keiyasu, as an astronomy expert, wrote to the shogunate to apply for the establishment of an organization to collect, translate and organize orchids, and the Imperial Bureau for the Reconciliation of Tibetan Books was formally established.

The Takahashi family was the head of the shogunate, and Kageho was the leader of the orchid school before Mr. Tanan. As a result, the Siebold Incident broke out in 1828, and the shogunate found a large amount of contraband in the luggage of Siebold, a doctor of the orchid business office.

Among them were the Fuso maps that Takahashi Keiho provided to Siebold, so Takahashi was imprisoned and died in prison soon after.

After the Siebold incident, Egawa Tarozaemon, who was the acting official of Nirayama, took over Takahashi's banner and became the leader of the new generation of Randaku.

In 1839, the "Barbarian Prison" broke out, also known as the "Foreign Scholars Rebellion". Jiang Chuan was overthrown on charges of "unknown people" and "negligence of supervision". Except for the hereditary Jiushan Acting Official, other officials

His position was completely stripped away.

However, the sacred place of scholar Lan, the "Tibetan Book and Imperial Bureau", was actually safe and sound. Although it was inspected many times, after all, the shogunate still relied on it to work, so it was spared.

There is the Imperial Bureau of Tibetan Letters and Reconciliation inside, and outside there is Mr. Tan'an's rope martial arts hall, Tsuboi Shindo's "Rishu Hall", Mr. Xuan Pu's "Xiang Xian Hall", Sakuma Shoyama's "Xiangshan Academy", etc. These orchid schools are located here.

The first-class people in Lin University seem to be an eyesore, but it is difficult to ban the private school - these Lan scholars are quite famous, have a lot of students, and there are people behind them to support them, but I can't do anything to you from the Book of Fans and the Imperial Bureau?

Taking advantage of this opportunity to reform the vassal government, Confucian scholars "used" the Book of Fans and the Imperial Bureau for their own use: the Bureau of Book of Fans and the Imperial Bureau was renamed "Foreign Studies Institute". In addition to its original responsibilities, it also planned to conduct research on the ministers and their descendants.

Lectures are given by Okubo Tadahiro as the academic director, and Lin Daxue from the official school Shohei Kohoku as the university director.

The excuse, of course, is the third article of this "trial decree", which is "rectify the moral code and reshape moral ethics."

This article means that the shogunate is encountering difficulties now, not because there were errors in the previous laws, but because there was something wrong with the people who implemented the laws. Now the atmosphere is corrupt, and some ministers are stupid and incompetent, and they even learned some fallacies and acted nonsense.

Source, requiring the samurai of the shogunate to pay attention to it and strengthen their own cultivation.

Every important reform of the shogunate would issue such a decree. For example, the Tenpo reform presided over by Chief Lao Naka Mizuno Tadakuni once required that "customs be corrected" and "old customs be observed at all levels." Samurai must "strictly observe moral ethics and diligently practice martial arts."

According to the head of Lin University, are there some things in Lanxue that can be used for reference? This time, the Bureau of Imperial Books and Reconciliation was renamed "Foreign Studies Institute". In addition to its original responsibilities, it also plans to give lectures to ministers and their children. This is

It's a good thing, but you have to be careful not to mix in any weird stuff.

Then who will check? Of course it is the "moral person" - that is, myself.

Under the banner of "for your own good", President Lin also served as the President of the Institute of Foreign Studies, and also transferred some professors from Changping University to teach at the Institute of Foreign Studies.

Who in Edo didn't know that among the ministers, Ekawa was the most proficient in Orchid Studies, so who should be the head of the university, Mr. Setan'an? It turned out that the head of the University was concurrently held by Lin. The Lin family had studied Zhu Xi's Confucianism intensively for generations, and he was incompatible with Orchid Studies.

, it’s really hard for him to give up his face this time.

It turns out that Mr. Tan'an was a director of Haiphong. Although the Imperial Book of Fanshu and Reconciliation Bureau was a subordinate organization of the Astronomical Party, he studied orchid books after all, so he had a great influence on the Fanshu.

He mobilized some people to support his work, such as building a platform and conducting surveys, but there was no chance this time. The Institute of Foreign Studies was pulled out separately and returned to the head of Lin University. From now on, Mr. Tan'an can only tell stories to the wind like Oguri.

You just have to look at it. If you want to point fingers, there is no way.

This move is very beautiful. In the past, Jiangchuan relied on Fan Bookstore to cultivate his wings, but this time he was controlled by Lin Datou. From now on, the students of the Institute of Foreign Studies will definitely recognize Mr. Lin Datou - he pulled the fire under the cauldron, which is really extraordinary.

But Tarozaemon Egawa has been working diligently in the past few years, and he has not only earned credit for his hard work, but why do the senior middlemen just sit back and watch Egawa being punished without saying anything?

There is an old saying, "Money moves people's hearts" - otherwise, the interests of the Niushan Iron Works are too great, and everyone in the shogunate is jealous from top to bottom. Public anger is hard to offend, so no one dares to do anything for Jiangchuan this time.
