When this "data sheet" was handed to Qingdeng, even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but gasp!

Not to mention anything else, just the amount of "gold coins" and "rice" made him stunned!

1.32 million taels of gold!

Rice 2.82 million koku!

As for the amount of fodder, salt, sugar and other supplies, it is also staggering, so I won’t go into details here.

How had Qingdeng ever fought such a wealthy battle?

Looking at the "data sheet" in his hand, Qingdeng couldn't help but think back to that distant afternoon when he set out to form the Shinsengumi with a mere three thousand taels of start-up funds.

Looking back now, I feel really sad...

It has a sense of humor as Tokugawa Iemo stuffed a branch into Aomori and then said kindly, "Okay, you are already a mature hero, hurry up and defeat the Demon King!"

Although it sounds like a bitch to say this, Qingden has never seen so much money in his whole life!

Afterwards, he took some time and made a special trip to the warehouse.

Looking at the warehouse full of gold coins and rice, he stood there as if petrified, speechless for a long time...

The rich heritage of Calabash House opened his eyes again.

Of course, Kinoshita Rin's financial resources are not unlimited after all, and it is impossible for Qingto to take them all away.

After delivering this batch of supplies, she would definitely not be able to organize the "second round of strategic transportation" within a short period of time.

However, no matter what, Qingdeng's goal has been achieved - the reason why he pushed hard for the alliance between Qinjin Fan and Huluwu was just for this moment!

Qin Jinfan is rich now! And he is still incredibly rich!

In terms of cash and grain savings, I am afraid that even the shogunate, which has a large business, and the Satsuma clan that has completed part of its modernization cannot be compared with the current Qinjin clan!

The huge amount of money and food received made Aoden, Shannan Keisuke, Iwasaki Yataro and others full of energy, their whole faces glowed red, and they walked with wind.

They can't wait to start a big business as soon as possible!

If I use a vivid metaphor... Qin Jinfan is like a well-oiled machine, it is now running at full speed!

To restore old fields and open up new fields, farmers who are proficient in farming are needed.

Building forts and repairing roads require skilled craftsmen, including blacksmiths, carpenters, and stonemasons!

As for the strong men who are specially responsible for doing hard work, they are even more indispensable.

There is a huge gap in human resources.

With the small population in Qinjin Domain, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

As a result, under the leadership of Qingdeng and Shannan Keisuke personally drafted the documents, the Qinjin vassal government issued a "recruitment order" to all parts of the country!

Want money?

Want a job?

Then come to Qinjinfan!

No matter you are a civilian or a warrior, as long as you meet the requirements, come to Qinjin Fan! This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back!

Under the influence of various factors such as "the invasion of foreign powers", "the destruction of the anti-war movement", and "the weakening of the shogunate's ruling power", the living conditions of the Japanese people cannot be said to be in dire straits, but they can also be said to be in dire straits.

Leaving aside the farmers who have never experienced any good life, the life of a craftsman is really worse than the other day.

Even if they take the so-called "craftsman spirit" and "immortal culture" to the extreme, there is no way they can compete with the large Western factories.

In a word - there are so many "free people" who have lost their jobs due to the deterioration of the economic situation and cannot find a job.

In this way, we can't imagine what kind of sensation it will cause when Qinjin Fan's "recruitment order" is announced to the outside world.

As expected - all of a sudden, countless young and vigorous people rushed towards Dajin with roars!

One after another people flow from different directions and different classes, converging towards the same place... This kind of scene is nothing short of spectacular!

This scene is very similar to the United States when it launched the "Westward Expansion Movement".

As this "Great Migration" unfolds, the total population of Otsu expands rapidly!

The original Otsu was just a peaceful town with a population of over 100,000, neither too big nor too small.

Now, its population has exceeded 200,000! And this number is still increasing rapidly!

Looking back on the past history, Dajin has never been as "lively" as it is now.

Some businessmen saw the business opportunities and rushed to Dajin non-stop like cats smelling fishy smell.

Under their operation, the streets of Dajin are like mushrooms, with a new shop "growing" almost every night.

Izakaya, teahouses, bathhouses, and various restaurants...all are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

To be honest, these businessmen are really helpful.

First, they indirectly promoted Otsu's commercial development.

Secondly, the restaurants, izakayas, and bathhouses they opened not only solved the problem of eating for the young men, but also effectively dispersed their energy.

As we all know, when a large number of young people gather together, if they don't find ways to consume their energy, these guys with excess energy may cause something to happen.

Money, food, manpower... resources are all available.

In this way, the much-anticipated "Qinjin Domain Construction" has officially begun!

Farmers picked up their farm tools and headed into the wilderness to renovate old fields and cultivate new ones.

The craftsmen picked up tools, made utensils, smoothed stones, and cut wood.

The young men were busy carrying stones, transporting logs, paving roads, and building houses.

Looking around, we can see that everyone is doing their duty and the scene is full of enthusiasm.

Inside and outside Ojin... no, it should be said that the entire Qinjin clan is filled with high-spirited and energetic "fireworks"!

Anyone who sees this scene will probably feel sincerely - Otsu is definitely the most dynamic town nowadays!

At the same time, almost everyone was certain of the fact that the rapid rise of Qinjin Fan was a certainty!

The Shogunate, Satsuma, Choshu, Huluya...all the forces are paying close attention to the "big construction of the Qinjin Domain". Some are happy and some are sad.

However, it didn’t take long for the world’s attention to be sucked away by a brand new breaking news——

"Nioh" Tachibana Aoden officially announced: He will hold a grand wedding ceremony on New Year's Eve! Officially marrying Chiba Sanako, Kinoshita Mai and Okita Tsukasa as wives!

…

…

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the last day of Wenjiu's third year (1863) came quietly.

…

…

Wenjiu three years (1863), December 30 (New Year’s Eve)——

Kyoto, Fushimi Inari Grand Shrine——

The wind is biting.

The cold and biting wind reminds people of the fact that "winter is here".

Today is New Year's Eve.

Logically speaking, on this day, every household should be busy making rice cakes, preparing Tusu wine, and decorating their doors. There is no free time to wander around in the streets.

However, this year’s New Year’s Eve in Kyoto is extra special.

The area around Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine was filled with onlookers standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks.

"Look! It's Higo-sama's family crest! Higo-sama is here!"

"Isn't this natural? How could the Lord of Aizu be absent from the wedding of the Lord of Qinjin Clan?"

"Wow! Look! It's the honor guard of the Kaga Domain! The 'Kaga Million Stones' are here too!"

…

The onlookers pointed their fingers at the flags within their field of vision, excitedly identifying the family crests on them.

Kaga Domain, Aizu Fan, Satsuma Domain... all are famous feudal clans.

Of course, apart from these powerful vassals, the family crests of those vassals that have no sense of existence or are pitifully weak are also in everyone's sight.

For example, the Yonezawa clan, which is famous for its poverty and is extremely poor, is also included in this list.

Just today, at this ancient Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Aonto will hold their wedding.

At the wedding of a benevolent king, how could the feudal lords not show off their dignity?
