Chapter 625: All the factions in Kyoto despise the New Selection Chamber of Commerce(2/2)
On this day, Satsuma Domain, Choshu Domain, Tosa Domain and other factions sent spies to watch the opening ceremony of the newly elected Chamber of Commerce.
Although the leaders of various factions were surprised by the establishment of the newly elected chamber of commerce, they did not pay much attention to it.
Saigo Kinosuke (Satsuma Domain), Takasugi Shinsaku (Changshu Domain), Takeichi Hanheita (Tosa Domain) and others were all more or less aware of the Shinsengumi's financial crisis.
Therefore, they have long been convinced that in order to ensure the stable operation of the Shinsengumi, Seito will actively take various measures to save himself.
However, Qingdeng's self-rescue method turned out to be business... This was beyond their expectation.
Anyone with a normal mind knows how difficult it is to do business.
Anyone who dares to say that "doing business is easy" or "doing business is simple" is either ignorant or they are bragging.
Qingdeng's work history has long been stripped by various factions.
It wasn't until he was promoted to the position of side minister and imperial agent that Qingteng officially came into contact with politics, so his work history was not difficult to obtain.
Therefore, it is not difficult to find out that Qingdeng had very little contact with business-related matters before.
Since entering politics, apart from the military, the work affairs that Qingdeng has been exposed to the most are actually contract projects!
For example: when the Kanda water supply in Edo was clogged, Aoto led a team to clear the pipes himself.
The lack of work experience caused Saigo Kinosuke and others to have great doubts about Aonto's ability to handle complex business transactions.
After the opening ceremony of the Shinseng Chamber of Commerce, Saigo Kinosuke and others learned from the spies they sent: the first president of the Shinseng Chamber of Commerce was a young man named Yataro Iwasaki.
Naturally, Saigo Kinosuke and others did not know who Yataro Iwasaki was.
So, they immediately launched an investigation.
The results of the investigation were shocking to them.
Yataro Iwasaki was actually just an underground ronin of the Tosa Domain before! He was a "three-no" person with no official position, no qualifications, and no origin!
Everyone in the various factions was extremely puzzled by Qingdeng's extremely strange personnel appointment.
Is there no talent in Zhenfu Mansion?
Although the scale of the Zhenfu Mansion is still small, it should not be able to find even a slightly reliable talent, right?
Why use an underground ronin from Tosa Domain?
The person who was most shocked by this was Wu Shi Hanping Tai.
He really couldn't understand why Tachibana Aomori paid so much attention to this guy who had no status in Tosa Domain before and was no different than a piece of mud?
All in all, based on all the known information, the leaders of the major forces unanimously made the same judgment - the newly selected chamber of commerce will probably make a muffled "plop" like a stone thrown into the sea, and then...
There is no more.
This should be just a crude attempt by Tachibana Aoshinobu to see if he can support the Shinsengumi through business - they all thought so.
Therefore, the major forces did not take the newly elected Chamber of Commerce to heart and simply sent people to monitor its subsequent movements without taking any further action.
It's ridiculous... 7 days ago, after Seito announced to the Shinsengumi generals the products that the Shinsengumi Chamber of Commerce would be selling in an emergency meeting, Qinghe Hachiro, who was quick-thinking, immediately became acutely aware of the hidden value in that small piece of silver.
What terrible energy.
After the meeting, he not only immediately shared the contents of the meeting with his party members, but also tried to pass on relevant information to the major pro-protest forces in Kyoto, hoping to make them clearly aware of the huge threat of the newly elected chamber of commerce.
However... because he has not yet established contact with any force, even if he wants to pass on information, he has no way to do it...
At this moment, Saigo Kinosuke and others never thought that this chamber of commerce, which they did not take seriously, would cause such a terrible storm in the future...

Kyoto, Gion, Hyakuya——
To some extent, the geishas of the Edo period are very similar to the idols of modern society.
He has a good face, is proficient in talents, and makes a living by "selling dreams". Once he is no longer young, he is forced to graduate.
Not only that, geishas, like idols, need to constantly practice their talents and work hard to improve themselves when they are not working.
During the day, geishas often get together to practice singing and dancing, study hairstyles and clothing, and discuss the latest fashion trends.
Today, all the geishas in Hyakuhana are practicing new songs together.
Because more and more samurai from all over the world are pouring into Kyoto, in order to cater to their tastes, the geishas in Gion are now working hard to learn and sing songs from various places.
Ziyang also participated in today's practice.
"Huh? Miss Ziyang, have you changed the mirror?"
This voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The temperature in Guangzhou has cooled down again... This month has been really difficult. I got sick at the beginning of the month and recuperated in the middle of the month. My physical and mental condition finally recovered, but then the weather cooled down again and I turned back into a useless leopard who can't live without a warm bed...
