It is hard to say whether those ordinary people who have learned cultural knowledge will accept the idea of ​​respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, or the idea of ​​constitutional monarchy.

No matter which idea it is, based on the current situation where the shogun occupied the dominant position and implemented feudal monarchy. In the end, these ideas are all about weakening the power of the shogun, and then moderately improving or radically changing.

It's true that this is such a concern!

Suzuru smiled and explained it to him clearly before Tadaoemon. This thing is a matter of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. It is a big deal for hundreds of thousands or millions of people. It is very normal for a few dissidents to appear in it. If none of them comes out, it would be strange.

If you can hide among the crowd and always be considered an ordinary person without being suspected, then such a person really wants to do big things. The firmness of his mind is absolutely rare. Normally, no matter what method he uses, it is difficult to find the flaws of such a person unless he jumps out and rebels himself.

As for the remaining ones, a few rebels were trivial, because more people would become fans of General Xi. They believed the lies that General Xi loved the people as if they were sons, and spontaneously began to maintain General Xi's reputation.

Anyway, if you don’t teach the people to read and read, the thieves will come out. If you teach the people to read and read, there may be more thieves, but the people who support the shogunate will increase in geometric numbers.

Got it!

"It makes sense to say this." Ii Naochi basically understood.

"What is the statement of the "Education Imperial Order" you mentioned?" Matsupei Qixuan also understood roughly and nodded.

"It is precisely to teach the people to know the truth that they are loyal, brave and dedicated to the public, and respect the shogunate." Suzuruo continued to narrate.

Of course, the so-called "Education Imperial Order" has not been written yet. The meaning of Tadaeyoumon is actually to directly copy the "Education Imperial Order" in history. That thing has a bit of a feudal Confucian set of connotations of monarchs, ministers, ministers, fathers, sons and sons.

From the perspective of the Japanese, he is definitely not suitable for a so-called modern democratized country. However, it is quite appropriate to put it in the Edo period, which was completely feudal and autocratic.

As the common ruler of the world and the leader of the princes, General Tokugawa insisted on refuting it, he was also considered an elder of all the subjects and people in the world. There was nothing wrong with speaking in the tone of the original text of the "Education Imperial".

"Let's do it first, if it's inappropriate, then discuss it." Naochi Ii agreed.

He was a little worried, but firstly, Tadaoemon has always been safe in his work and has never made any big mistakes. He can believe it. Secondly, the relationship between the two is good. Since this proposal was spoken by Tadaoemon, Ii Naoki must agree without infringing on his own interests.

Today I agree to your proposal, tomorrow I have to repay you and support me. In politics, a large group of people compromise with each other. Although Ii Naoki is a powerful boss, he still needs the people below. He lifted up the flower sedan chair and carried him forward.

"The sage official will reply to Edo." Seeing that Ii Naosuke Suktor was very happy.

"Just use the telegram directly, just try it." Ii Naochi seemed to suddenly think of something and was filled with energy.

Anyway, I don’t want to post any long comments. I only say two or three sentences, saying that if I know this, I can do it. There is no secret, and if I leak it, I can’t see what it is.

"Has the telegram been laid to Osaka?" Suzuki came by boat and did not see the telegram lines along the way.

"Yes! The next time we will arrive."

The shogunate master personally supervised the Tokaido trunk railway project, so what's wrong with it? Now that the railway has been built with Hikone Castle and will soon arrive in Kyoto. It will be laid in Osaka in at most two or three months. At the end of this autumn, the Tokaido trunk will be fully completed.

The telegraph line is a step earlier in the railway line and communicates the entire line first. In the future, whether it is Kyoto, Osaka, or Kobe, sending newspapers to Edo, and instantly arrive, the barrier of space is no longer a problem.

Not only the shogunate can directly contact the forces deployed in Kinai and Western countries through telegram lines. Osaka merchants can also contact Edo directly. I believe these wealthy merchants will become the most loyal users and promoters of telegrams.

When doing business, the most important thing is to make a good news. When it is raining, you are ready to make an umbrella and sell it. That is too late. After you hear the forecast, you have to mobilize the umbrella and sell it to ensure profitability.

Of course, telegraph is mainly beneficial to the feudal rule of the shogunate. In the future, there will be something wrong with Kyoto, and the news can be sent to Edo immediately. As long as the telegraph line is open, no matter how bad the clumsy you are, you cannot make a big spoil in Kyoto.

"Then the official must give it a try." This is not the first time that Suzuru used a telegram, but it is his first time for such a long distance, more than 500 kilometers of telegrams.

The British telegrapher trained in Yokohama was summoned by Naosuke Ii and sent the news from Osaka in front of Susukura. He also asked Edo to receive a reply, so that everyone could quietly inform the speed of technology.

Good guy!

It can be played twice in one hour!

There is nothing to say, the telegraph is really good, I just regret that it was not built early. If it had been built long ago, the chaos in Kyoto would not have been that big.

"The foreigners in front also said that they could try to pull the route from Hong Kong to Nagasaki. Then from Nagasaki to Osaka, and finally Osaka to Edo. I don't know if it is true or false, but this telegram can still be built in the water?" Recently, Naosuke Ii, who was in the Kinai, also met several foreigners.

In 1850, the first submarine cable crossed the English Channel and connected the United Kingdom and the European continent. The first telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean was laid in 1857, which was last year. However, due to technical reasons, as well as climate and currents, the trans-ocean cable failed after only a few days of use. The first fully usable Atlantic submarine cable was successfully put into use in 1866 nine years later.

The telegraph industry was developing very rapidly. The British and French knew the goodness of this thing. At this time, someone had already proposed whether to establish telegraph lines on many coastal trading ports in the Qing Dynasty next door.
