95. Abe's letter

There are not many memories of the Tu Yumen family in my mind, so Qin Ming did not write much.

He just casually wrote about what happened after he came to Edo and the general's intention to "combinate Gongwu".

The general believes that it was proposed by the Emperor, and the emperor believes that it was proposed by the General. Anyway, there are still more than 30 years before the invention of the radio, so it is impossible for both sides to ask who came up with the final answer face to ask who came up with it.

In fact, Qin Ming doesn’t like writing letters. When writing in Japanese, it always makes people think of it.

For example, "The big root of the chrysanthemum is updated"

There is nothing else behind the chrysanthemum, only the big radish, which is actually a good haiku.

Chrysanthemums are elegant things, while radishes are ordinary things. Two are arranged side by side to write about the atmosphere of life.

再比如“看护妇やうたゝ寝さめて蝿を打つ”

The caregiver dozed off and woke up and patted the flies, which also wrote about a detailed life state.

But writing it on paper is to make people not have good ideas.

Qin Ming changed his writing style:

"Yoxi, I don't know if Odosan Okasan, and the stupid Odododou, went to Yoshihara today. Sikasia did not sleep until the courtesan. Vatasi missed his hometown Kyoto, and Shimahara's work was really a joy. Yoshihara actually wanted to increase money, how could he repair it..."

However, considering that the relatives of Tuyumen couldn't understand it, they finally changed it back.

"It's obviously more smooth..."

Qin Ming muttered and handed over both letters to the courier.

At this time, the express delivery business was basically completed by Jizhou Fan.

Because of the turmoil in society, postmen traveled around the wilderness all year round, and many illegal people stared at postmen robbing, and they would silence them after robbing them, which was quite dangerous.

Therefore, when Jizhou Fan, who was in power, paid for the postman under his command to get a pistol when he discussed it, allowing them to fire first when they were in danger.

"A gun is a good thing. Should I steal the gun together?"

Qin Ming is still very greedy for the gun. He started with the seventh level of the original swordsmanship, but he didn't know how much he could play, so he would feel at ease with the gun in his pocket.

"When Ii Naohime was assassinated, his retainers fired guns and demonstrated, but there were only bullets at the scene. The gun was gone. If they could find it, they might as well go away."

Then, he lay under the eaves beside the courtyard, closing his eyes to rest.

The breeze blows on my face, and the little Xuan mouse screams from time to time, without having to face the hundreds of ghosts walking at night, a rare and pleasant time.

Suddenly, Qin Ming opened his eyes.

"Did I forget something?"

"Mr. Abe, I'm back."

"Oh, Nagakura."

Qin Ming finally realized that he had forgotten something and almost dropped Shinhara Nagakura on Yoshihara.

Fortunately, my good son will recognize his own way.

"Mr. Abe..."

Nagakura Shinhara came to Qin Ming's side and suddenly bowed down. A man got off the ground, and the glasses were shining on his back.

"Is there anything wrong? Get up first."

Qin Ming sat up and helped Shinba Yongcang.

"My father was wronged!"

He believed that Lord Abe, who could speak out for the truth about Nakanocho many years ago, would also be able to make decisions for his father.

"Is Nagakura Kazuji?"

Qin Ming paused: "I have heard of it. As for whether he was wronged, I don't know, but I believe in you."

Nagakura Shinhachi said: "Mr. Abe, I want to know the truth about my father being imprisoned!"

Qin Ming thought for a moment: "If you have the chance, you will pay attention to it."

Nagakura Katsuji was a member of the king and expelling the barbarians, and involved the treasures of Koshu.

Contacting the king and expelling the barbarians can prepare for the life after the fall of the shogunate. Koshu treasures are nothing more than money, gold and silver. These things are hard currency everywhere.

Qin Ming was very interested.

After a few days of repairing, Qin Ming took Yongcang Shinba and Xiaoxuanmo to the Fanshu Institute.

The Fanshu Institute is a foreign studies training institution established by the shogunate, which is specially used to study foreign studies.

Knowledge needs to be carried by books, so the Fan Book Institute also has the function of translating Western works and checking imported books. It also has the ability to publish, which is equivalent to the official shogunate publishing house.

Qin Ming went to the Fan Book Institute to translate and publish Darwin's "Origin of Species".

As long as "Origin of Species" can be spread, people will at least doubt it, not to say that they do not believe in monsters at all.

Darwin wrote it with reason and evidence, everything has its origins and has evolution and development.

All living things have their ancestors. Where are you a ghost with a big head, a thick neck, a long tongue, a big ear, a missing arm, and a few legs? How did you evolve? What is your origin?

Can't explain it clearly? Don't know? That's nothing.

All are fictional speculations and do not exist.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Fanshu Memorial Office, two feet rushed up to stop him and shouted:

"What are you doing!"

The Fanshu Memorial Institute is an official institution of the shogunate, and it is all about Lan Xue. It is not easy to find people who can understand English and translate English these days. They are all treasures.

Nagakura Shinhara pressed the samurai sword on his waist at the same time, and his father-protecting consciousness was good.

Qin Ming stopped Shinba Nagakura and exposed his identity card that was not a violation of the law at his waist.

Before the two feet could see, Tadaoyi Shimazu behind the door walked out:

"Sir Abe, why are you here?"

"I plan to publish a book through the Fan Book Institute." Qin Minghuang said, "Origin of Species" in his hand. This is the first edition, and Darwin's signature is left for future generations to sell for money.

"Western books?" Tadaoyi Shimazu's eyes lit up when he saw the English in the book.

He had already liked Western learning and quickly said enthusiastically: "Come on, let me leave this matter."

After entering the Fanshu Reconstruction Center, the deal was reached in a short while.

I will publish a thousand volumes first, and then talk about them later.

The cost was not mentioned. Shimazu Tadaoyi had the intention of making good friends with Qin Ming and took all the money. In the vassal reform decades ago, the Satsuma clan became one of the richest powerful clans, and even cut off a large amount of local leeks, some of which were money.

Not only that, after discovering that the author Darwin was living in the British Embassy, ​​Tadaoshi Shimazu agreed to help publish it.

I think Darwin would be very happy even if he couldn't receive the copyright fee. "Origin of Species" is basically everyone in Europe, but when it comes to Japan, it is already very good to be able to be published in large quantities.

"Sir Abe, look at this "Dutch Rumor Book" and Western newspapers. The content on it is quite interesting."

"If it were the early years, these were the overseas intelligence reported to the shogunate when Dutch ships entered the sea, and only the shogunate officials could read it."

Tadaoyi Shimazu showed off his newspapers, and the Fanshu Institute also translated overseas news and newspapers. These were used as sources of information from overseas. He came to the Fanshu Institute to see these novelties in the West.

Qin Ming had an idea and said:

"Why doesn't the shogunate run its own newspaper?"

The shogunate would not publish local newspapers in 1862. Qin Ming felt that it was necessary to advance this time by two years.

The origin of most monsters comes from legends, strange stories, and public opinion.

And newspapers are one of the best ways to control public opinion.
