Chapter 1076 Referendum and Photoshoot

The Edo Castle referendum gathered more than 100,000 people, and many people in the town still had feelings for the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Tokugawa Shogunate personally built the Edo Castle. The people who lived in Edo Castle were more or less related to the Tokugawa family. There was also a group of people who simply opposed the rule of outsiders to Japan, and these people voted against it.

However, when they saw groups of farmers carrying hoes pouring into Edo Castle to participate in the referendum, they were desperate about the results. The new government's policy of reducing agricultural taxes made farmers instigated by the Chinese Association vote in favor, and even those who voted did not know what this would mean.

Among the lively crowds, several people were carefully protecting a wooden shelf and the strange things set up on it swaying around. This is a new profession in Beijing - cameramen. They used spotlights and relatively old camera styles. However, the bulky cameras that seemed antique at this time represent the most advanced imaging technology of this era. Black and white photos are as magical as magic, and each camera is expensive. They came to take this historic moment as evidence of the merger of Japan.

"Can this girl take a photo? We want to record the grand occasion at this time. Our thing is not something strange, but a machine called a camera that can draw your appearance and where you are like a painter." The cameraman saw a Hanfu woman standing in a corner in the crowd observing the voting results, astonished, and wanted to invite her to be the protagonist in the background.

Because not many people have seen cameras in this era, they need to explain to the other party every time they invite others to take pictures, for fear that the other party will think it is a soul-catching machine.

"I know the camera, do you really want to take photos for me?" The woman invited was Da Yuer.

"Oh, since you know what the camera is, that's great! You just need to stand there for a while, don't be scared when you see the spotlight." The cameraman got into the black cloth and the assistant next to him signaled to Da Yu'er.

He actually wanted to take pictures here... Da Yu'er has seen the scenes when someone else took pictures. This time it was invited to take pictures. It was the first time that he was invited to take pictures. He didn't know how to place his hands.

She remembered that Chu Yun had posed with scissors hands when he took the photo, so she also made a V-shaped gesture.

The Edo Castle residents who were queuing up to receive votes around him saw the camera for the first time. They didn’t know what a few weirdly dressed cameramen wanted to do, and what did the woman in Hanfu meant to make such gestures.

"Where did that wooden rack come from? What a strange couple, they kept looking around."

"I don't know, maybe it's some magical treasure."

People around the town have seen the opening of the Yokohama-Edo Castle train. Their psychological endurance is much stronger than that of ordinary people. They regard the camera as a magical thing similar to the train.

"Very good, smiling, three, two, one!" The cameraman reminded Da Yuer through gestures.

After three sounds, the spotlight emits a dazzling flash and white smoke rises, which makes the people around you feel like a conditioned reflex.

"What happened?!" said the surrounding town people and farmers.

The white smoke from the spotlight is too similar to the smoke from the firearm!

Da Yu'er also flashed into her eyes by the flash of the spotlight. She recovered after a while and said to the people around her: "This is a camera, not a firearm, and it will not cause harm to you. Please don't worry."

"When we return to the capital and wash out the photos, we can leave you a copy. We are the only photo studio in the capital. It is just west of the city. If you ask for a little, you should be able to find us." The cameraman said gratefully.

The quality of a photo depends on many factors. It is not that the more spectacular the scene, the better. Sometimes, a person who appears in the small or a person who appears in the photo can make this photo a masterpiece.

"Then I'll be there for you." Da Yu'er smiled slightly and walked to the other side to patrol.

"The girl was so beautiful just now. I wonder if she is an overseas Chinese living in Edo Castle?"

"I see why her clothes are similar to those of the woman who gave a speech on stage before. Could it be that she is Da Yu'er?"

"If this is true, then this photo will be of great value and may become one of the representative photos of our photo studio."

The cameraman and several assistants muttered after Da Yu'er left, as if they had discovered something amazing. Unexpectedly, they just caught a woman and took photos, and they actually had their own background.

The cameramen in the photo studio continued to shuttle through the crowd to take photos. Their strange dress and utensils attracted people's attention every time they arrived.

The votes were put into the wooden box, and there were special people sing the votes. Due to the large number of people participating in the Edo referendum, several teams had to be lined up at the same time.

The referendum took a long time, and several important figures from the forces that organized the referendum had left the scene. The famous celebrities from the Western countries even booked several teahouses and talked about their future plans.

"How many people vote now?" Shimazu Kokusa asked his subordinates who came to report from time to time.

"More than 80,000 people voted, more than 60,000 supporters, and 20,000 people opposed it." Shimazu Kokusa's subordinates replied respectfully.

"Brother Shimazu, this referendum has been arranged by the Kyushu Army for a long time. China will try its best to achieve their goals through this referendum. It is impossible for the situation where opponents exceed their supporters. Even if so, the Kyushu Army will declare the referendum invalid for various reasons. We are still concerned about everyone's situation in the future." Tadakayoshi Yamauchi took a sip of tea and swallowed the tea together. "If the entire Japan becomes a province, then the convenience of the province is to establish prefectures and prefectures. Some of us may work in provincial government offices, and some of us may work in local prefectures. We give up some hungry things, but we are still people with some power."

"Isn't this the reward we deserve to take the team? As long as the Kyushu Army is not an ungrateful person, we should enjoy the fruits of victory." Maori Shui said.

"Now the peasant uprising on Shikoku Island has not been curbed. More than 100,000 peasant troops have occupied Shikoku Island. Maybe Yamauchi Jun, you will be appointed as an official of Shikoku Island. At that time, your Yamauchi family will still clean up the end of Shikoku Island." A group of daimyos said to Tadaoyoshi Yamauchi with a little teasing.
