255 6.49 Go Forth And Reshape Fukushima! (1/2)

”Have you taken your meals and did you enjoy them?” I asked the Mayors from the other municipalities which began with such harmless questions. Little did they know what's in store for them.

”Yes...” came their answers for the meals.

”Did you see the treaty that was brought in by the consul of the United States and had been mutilated by me in order to save the future of Japan?”

”Yes... We did and yet to see the documents that you had mutilated, my lord.” One of them spoke up on behalf of the rest after some discussion.

”Would you like to see improvements in our lives as well as throughout Japan?”

”Yes... We would like to, my lord. We would definitely want to see improvements to what you did to New Kitakata Town as well as to Fukushima.”

”Do you wish to implement what you see here in its legislative and administrative to make things easier for you?”

”Yes, my lord... We would like to implement your set of legislative and administrative for our own benefits. Furthermore, I heard its lesser manpower and paperwork to get things done.”

”That's great, in that's the case since I had gotten all of you to agree on what I had said in the past 5 minutes, take time to study your surroundings, especially in the government and business district.”

”Get yourself a sketchpad or something and record down what you had seen and what you think of it. A person ruling each Prefecture does not stand on one's decision alone but to others as well.”

”As what my Execom had explained, do not expect one to understand its meaning and structure and blindly the following instruction and in the end being an ass to yourself and to me. You have about 3 hours to find out what you need to know and get back to me once you had done so.”

”Dinner will be served at 6 pm and followed by supper at 8 pm. Be right back here by 3 or 4 pm for your afternoon tea break. I don't want any of you to pengsan in the middle of your queries.”

”Since you are all ready for a change, go forth and change Fukushima as the way the governing body would look like. This would be a stepping stone for other Prefecture to follow and with His Majesty extended stay here, things would be smoother than it seems to be.”

”If you are looking for the Head Treasurer or the ex-Mayor, their heads and limbs would be floating downstream miles away from here already. Please ask Hiko-sama here, he's temporarily taking over the Treasury and ask as many questions you need. As for the others, you may find them on your way out from here.”

I explained and hearing the heads of the Head Treasurer and the ex-Mayor was floating downstream, only they could imagine what kind of heinous crime they had committed until the capital punishment was meted on them.

They shuddered and immediately went to get the stationeries they had gotten from the trading district and clamoured back to ask relevant questions on the restructuring.

”Alright, Your Majesty. We now just wait for the arrival of the Shimoda's Governor as well as the recovery of a shock for these consuls from the United States. It seems they were taken aback in what we had retaliated in the treaty that they had produced.”

”It is truly one-sided and discriminating. What would they do if we were to invade the United States and States our demand? Definitely, we would have a lot of rebuttals, right? Rest easy now, Your Majesty. I hope we are able to overturn a major catastrophe for Japan Empire.”

”I'm surprised, Himura. You're 3 years younger than me and yet your wisdom and deep knowledge is simply remarkable... I have not met someone like you until the past week and I am still speechless on what I wanted to say. Even when you mentioned about my extended stay, I was too taken aback to give you a reply and simply nodded my head. You should be the next Tokugawa's predecessor if you wished to take over Japan's Empire.”

”No...i do not have any intention to take over Japan's Empire... I just wanted to set things straight.”

My answer left Tokugawa Iemochi dumbfounded as he cannot find any words to contest to my reply. He just nodded his head and he was thankful that he had to find out the real me, rather than listening to rumours and relying on them.

Tokugawa Iemochi was in deep thought. ”This guy never thinks about wealth or greed because it all came from the support of the residents here through his efforts. He makes millions and regards them just like bronze or coppers...”
