Chapter 525
PS: Don’t subscribe! Keep taking advantage of me... Today my son also started to have a high fever, reaching 40 degrees Celsius at one point. Fuck them, they actually opened their eyes and said it was a small cold!
Seeing that all the famous names had joined, Tokugawa Ieqi said with a smile: "You are willing to support Jiaqi, Iaqi is naturally honored and grateful. Everyone knows that this competition is about how to control leprosy.
The shogunate alone is really unable to deal with the disease."
However, while Tokugawa Ieqi was waiting for these daimyo to offer to help the shogunate, Shimazu Hisamitsu, the head of the Satsuma clan who was barely related to Tokugawa Ieqi, jumped out first and said with a frown: "I just said
We have already said that we will respond to the general’s call and do our best to help the general control leprosy, but does the general also want to give us a promise?”
The Tokugawa family was so angry that they wanted to kill Shimazu Hisamitsu with a knife immediately.
As the saying goes, what songs should be sung on the top of the mountain? From the perspective of the shogun, Tokugawa Ieqi certainly did not want Mitsuoka Kihito and his son to cause any downfall, and it was even less likely to support Mitsuoka Kihito and his son to take back the rights from the daimyo of various places.
Even if it must be collected, it should be collected by the shogunate.
But from the perspective of a "quasi-Japanese country with a new crown prince" who is about to usurp the throne, Tokugawa Jiaqi certainly wants to immediately take back the rights in the hands of the Ming Dynasty in various places. It is best to take back the rights of the Japanese court as well.
In the hands of this "quasi-Japanese country Tim Huang".
Now, Shimazu Hisamitsu wants Tokugawa Ieqi to make a promise to all the feudal lords and daimyo present, which is naturally equivalent to hitting Tokugawa Ieqi's back.
Resisting the urge to immediately kill Shimazu Hisamitsu with a knife, the Tokugawa family said with a smile: "My Tokugawa family has been in charge of the shogunate for so many years. How do I treat the feudal lords and daimyo? I think you all feel...
clear."
"However, since everyone wants Jiaqi's promise, Jiaqi will hereby make a promise to all the feudal lords and daimyo: as long as they give up the idea of overthrowing the imperial court, abolishing the feudal lords, and establishing counties, Jiaqi will ensure that all the feudal lords and daimyo's
All interests, if you violate the promise, I will teach the Tokugawa family to pierce the heart with random arrows and die, and they will not be able to return to the embrace of Amaterasu after death!"
"But," after making the promise, Tokugawa Yoshiaki glanced coldly at all the feudal lords and daimyo present, and said coldly: "If I know which feudal lord has promised to try his best to help the shogunate today, I will turn back.
But if you work hard and don’t make any effort, then don’t blame me, the Tokugawa family, for turning their backs on each other!"
"At the very least, I can guarantee that even if it fails completely this time, Jiaqi can deal with those treacherous villains before His Majesty Tian Huang completely abolishes the shogunate."
All the feudal lords and daimyo present were shocked, and they all laughed and said: "What did the general say? Now that we can respond to the shogunate's call, we naturally stand with the general, so how can we do it?"
Are you working hard but not working hard?”
"General, please relax. If we don't work hard, we will be harming ourselves. We understand this truth. No one will be so short-sighted."
Shimazu Hisamitsu also said with a smile: "We Satsuma Domain and the shogunate have always been on good terms, and we have been in-laws for many years. Naturally, we will do our best to help the general. The reason why we asked the general to make a promise just now is just to reassure everyone here.
, I hope the general will not misunderstand."
The Tokugawa family sneered in unison and ignored Shimazu Hisamitsu's nonsense. Instead, they directly began to issue orders to the feudal lords and daimyo: "I have asked Chen Yan, the Ming Dynasty ambassador to Japan, and Ambassador Chen said that if you want to
To solve leprosy, the first key is to completely cut off the spread of leprosy, otherwise, no matter how many doctors and medicinal materials are invested, it will not help."
"And if you want to completely cut off the spread of leprosy, you need all the feudal lords and daimyo here to work together and send your respective samurai and ashigaru to seal off all places with leprosy patients, Xu Jin, but
Not allowed to come out."
As soon as Tokugawa Ieki finished speaking, all the feudal lords and daimyo present were in confusion.
Are any of the many people here stupid?
Yes, but not much.
Many feudal lords and daimyo had already heard the hidden meaning of Tokugawa Ieki's words.
Tokugawa Ieki said that he had consulted Chen Yan, the Ming Dynasty ambassador to Japan. This sentence not only expressed that he had learned how to treat leprosy, but also expressed that he had obtained the support of Chen Yan and was confident enough to deal with the light.
The father and son of Ge Jianren and Kuangong Huiren can be regarded as a reassurance to all the feudal lords and daimyo present.
In fact, all the feudal lords and daimyo present felt much relieved when they learned that Tokugawa Ieqi was supported by Chen Yan - during the Aoi Festival, Chen Yan had proposed to let Tokugawa Ieqi and Mitsukaku
The Jingren Competition did have some support for Tokugawa Ieki, but can the situation at that time be the same as it is now?
Don't forget, during the Aoi Festival, there were many people who committed seppuku. Among them, there were those who supported Tokugawa Ieqi and those who supported Mitsukaku Kinin, so Chen Yan proposed to let Tokugawa Ieqi and Mitsukaku Kinin compete in governance.
Leprosy does not necessarily mean supporting the Tokugawa family. It is more likely that it is for the sake of the Japanese country and for those who sent Mingshi, which has somewhat ambiguous meanings, and gives advice on how to treat leprosy to the Tokugawa family. This is terrible.
It's not just ambiguous, but a real and supportive attitude.
But while they were relieved, these feudal lords and daimyo couldn't help but feel a pain in their balls.
All the feudal lords and daimyo present did not doubt the solution proposed by Tokugawa Ieki.
The fact is that the feudal lords and daimyo present here also know very well that in order to completely cut off the spread of leprosy, the most effective way is to completely block it.
Countless smallpox and other plagues in history have proven this. The only consequence of not completely blocking the epidemic is endless spread, which will in turn infect more people, kill more people, and cause greater losses.
.
But can leprosy be the same thing?
This thing is immortal!
Although it cannot be said that this thing is just a small cold, the lethality of this thing is actually just that. It will have more impact on those civilians and untouchables, not to mention the feudal lords and daimyo present.
Those warriors were rarely affected.
However, Tokugawa Ieki proposed to blockade the villages that already had the disease and completely cut off the spread of leprosy, but it would really affect the income of various feudal lords and daimyo!
More importantly, this blockade will make the good people and untouchables in the blocked villages who are not suffering from leprosy dissatisfied, thus affecting the rule of these feudal lords and daimyo!
Again, no matter what song you sing on the top of a mountain, the position of your butt determines the thoughts of your head.
For all the feudal lords and daimyo present, it is no problem for them to raise some money to support the shogunate. Even if they actually send samurai and ashigaru to help the shogunate to rebel directly, it is no problem, but it will affect everyone.
Income and domination…
When they thought of this, all the feudal lords and daimyo present turned their attention directly to Shimazu Hisamitsu, hoping that Shimazu Hisamitsu could once again take the lead.
However, what disappointed these feudal lords and daimyo was that Shimazu Hisamitsu did not come out to express his opposition this time, but chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Of course, Tokugawa Ieki also saw the tangled eyes of the feudal lords and daimyo, and he also knew what these feudal lords and daimyo were struggling with.
Holding back the anger that wanted to slash someone with a knife, Tokugawa Jiaqi said with a smile: "Jiaqi knows that this request is indeed a bit embarrassing, but Jiaqi is not the kind of unreasonable person.
I also know your difficulties."
"Well, as long as everyone cooperates with the shogunate to complete the blockade this time, all the quotas for sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty will be allocated to everyone, and the taxes to be collected next year will be reduced by another 10% as compensation, how about that?"
After receiving the benefits promised by the Tokugawa family, all the feudal lords and daimyo present breathed a sigh of relief, and patted their chests to express their loyalty to the Tokugawa family: "Don't worry, General, we will send people to blockade you later.
I guarantee that it will not affect the General’s plan.”
"Don't talk about the general giving us compensation. Even if the general doesn't, we will cooperate with the general. After all, this is for ourselves."
"It's really touching that the General is so dedicated to the common people and untouchables!"
"..."
Of course Tokugawa Ieki would not care about the praise of these feudal lords and daimyo.
After secretly writing down this account in his mind, Tokugawa Ienzai continued: "The second key is to mobilize doctors and medicinal materials from all over the place and let them do their best to treat leprosy patients who have already become ill."
"Regarding this, the shogunate will mobilize all the doctors and medicinal materials that can be mobilized now, and Jiaqi will also seek help from Ambassador Chen. This time we will not only invite some famous doctors from the Ming Dynasty, but also the famous doctors will come to Japan to help.
Those lepers must also import a batch of medicinal materials from Ming Dynasty as a reserve."
"Jia Qi is even thinking that the feudal lords and daimyo can also send their own doctors to treat those patients who have already suffered from leprosy before the famous doctors from the Ming Dynasty arrive.
After the doctors come, you can learn from them."
"In addition, I need the feudal lords and daimyo to take out some of the medicinal materials they have stored in their hands and sell some to patients who are already suffering from leprosy. At the same time, I also need some good people who have not yet suffered from leprosy to stock up on some medicines."
This is where the real benefits begin to be shared.
First, the villages where leprosy cases have been spread are sealed off, and then these feudal lords and daimyo are allowed to take the medicine and sell it to the patients who are already sick. How can the medicine be sold cheaply?
As for whether those good people who have not yet contracted leprosy will spend money to buy it from these feudal lords and daimyo, and what price they should pay to buy it, there is naturally a lot of talk in it.
The blockade jointly implemented by the Tokugawa family, the feudal lords, and the daimyo would make it impossible for everyone to buy it, and then the feudal lord and the daimyo would each send out their confidants to sell it.
There are also some operating procedures in the process, such as when there is no wind, waves rise, when there is a turbulence, taking advantage of the situation, and various chain routines are used, but there is no need to worry about good people, untouchables and the like not being able to fall into the trap.
All the feudal lords and daimyo present naturally knew the benefits, but these benefits were not enough to impress the feudal lords and daimyo present - these benefits were only visible benefits, and they were only temporary.
The benefits, what really made these feudal lords and the Ming Dynasty worry, were the other two real, long-term benefits hidden underneath.
The first real and long-term benefit is that Tokugawa Ieki promised to let the doctors under the feudal lords and daimyo learn from the famous doctors and good doctors from the Ming Dynasty. This is invisible, but it is the most important.
The advantage is that it is impossible for a person to never get sick once in his life, and when he gets sick, he cannot do without a doctor.

Nowadays, the existing doctors in the Japanese country cannot be said to have poor medical skills, and it can also be said that they are of no use. Even the various feudal lords and daimyo no longer rely on the original doctors in the Japanese country for medical treatment, but prefer to seek doctors from the Ming Dynasty.
Look, if they can't find doctors from the Ming Dynasty in their own territory, they are even willing to go to Kyoto, Edo or even Kyushu Island to find doctors from the Ming Dynasty.
In the eyes of the feudal lords and daimyo of Japan, if the level of doctors in the world is arranged in order from low to high, then it must be their respective territories, then Edo and Kyoto, then Kyushu Island, and then the Ming Dynasty
, the most top one must be the capital of Ming Dynasty.
The feudal lords of the Japanese country also knew very well in their hearts that with their status in the world, not to mention the top doctors in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, even the famous doctors and good doctors in the various prefectures of the Ming Dynasty might not be able to get their turn.
Going to Kyushu Island to see a doctor is already the highest treatment they can enjoy.
Now the Tokugawa family said that they would invite some famous doctors and good doctors from the Ming Dynasty. These feudal lords and daimyo should naturally make good use of this opportunity. Not to mention leaving a few famous doctors and good doctors, they must at least let the quack doctors under them
Let's learn more tricks as a way to save our lives.
As for the second benefit, which is also invisible and intangible, that is even more important.
Cooperating with the Tokugawa family to complete the blockade, and then cooperating with the Tokugawa family to complete the diagnosis and treatment of leprosy patients, this process will certainly allow the Tokugawa family to gain the most fame, but these feudal lords and daimyo can also make money.
part.
How important the benefits of reputation are. In the past, these feudal lords and daimyo may not have known it, but as books from the Ming Dynasty slowly flowed into the Japanese country, these feudal lords also gradually realized the benefits of reputation.
