Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

"Sir, please!"

Seeing Assistant Komatsu staring straight at him and Bai Chuanfeng's expressionless face, Tozawa Masaoji came back to his senses.

"Xiaofeng, wait! Wait!" Tozawa Masao hurriedly got up, "I just said that casually, casually."

The originally meticulously combed hair and ironed suit became a little messy.

"If you don't agree, just pretend I didn't say it. Miss, you go and do your work first, and I'll have a chat with your president."

Masao Tozawa first comforted Bai Chuanfeng in a hurry, and then persuaded Assistant Komatsu not to worry about himself.

Assistant Xiaosong looked at Bai Chuanfeng, who nodded slightly.

After she exited the room again, Masao Tozawa took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This nephew of his own is too strong, and Tozawa himself can't keep up with the rhythm of his speech.

"Toze-san, do you know why the Chinese race is declining day by day and becoming less and less popular?"

This time Bai Chuanfeng didn't wait for him to explain anything, and asked a somewhat direct question first.

To be honest, this question makes Tozawa a little embarrassed, after all, he is one of the declining Chinese.

But when it came to this issue, he also went all out.

"Of course it's because of General Mike's order!" Speaking of Masao Tozawa, he was also full of resentment, what a wonderful childhood.

At that time, the Chinese had not been abolished, and all kinds of privileges were clearly written in the "Order of the Chinese" or "Order of the House of Nobles".

When Masao Tozawa was a child, he lived the life of a master every day, and even went to school to study in a learning institute run by the Chinese.

As for the examination threshold or graduation requirements, there is no such thing at all.

Not only that, as long as you graduate from the Academy, there is a high probability that you can go directly to the family domain to be an official.

Positions such as mayor and county hall civil servants are basically prepared for them.

But since the Chinese were forced to abolish in 1947, all these things either disappeared or slowly withered.

The decline of the Tozawa family began at that time. Tozawa Masaki's father, Tozawa Masaki, was the last Chinese of the Tozawa family.

He is also the last lingering voice of the Tozawa family in local power. After the mayor of Xinzhuang resigned in 1954, his family moved to Tokyo.

Since then, the Tozawa family has officially separated from Deba and Mutsu, who have ruled for nearly three hundred years, and the family's influence has been directly broken.

Originally, according to the family background, even if the Tozawa family left their previous inherent territory, they could still live well.

After all, it has been in business for hundreds of years, and the Tozawa family is in the northeast counties of Akita, Yamagata, Iwate, etc., and the family property is worthless.

However, after the death of Tozawa Masaki in 60 years, the last Chinese of the Tozawa family was completely annihilated in the long river of time.

According to the inheritance order of the Chinese family, in order to preserve the family status, it is also a mandatory requirement of the law.

If Masao Tozawa wants to inherit the inheritance of his father, Masaki Tozawa, that is, all the family property of the Tozawa family, then he needs to pay taxes.

How much? 90%!

Yes, the inheritance of Chinese inheritance needs to pay a very high tax rate, the highest tax rate can reach 90%.

Unfortunately, the Tozawa family needs to pay at this tax rate.

The 1950s were a time of turmoil.

At that time, as the partner of the police, Jidao could walk around the streets with great fanfare and maintain law and order. Even sometimes, some law enforcement powers can be exercised.

Without the protection of his father, what can a young Tozawa Masaoji do?

Faced with such a high inheritance tax, he has no choice but to pay the tax honestly.

Otherwise, believe it or not, he is the only one who hangs the street lights at night, and the big deal is to push the Red Army at that time, and it will be clear.

As a result, the property of the Tozawa family shrank by nearly 90% overnight, and all local investments in several counties in the northeast were filled into the national treasury.

The only thing left is a few houses in Tokyo and the birthplace of the Tozawa family in Shinjo City, Yamagata, that is, the ancestral graveyard.

This is also the reason why Tozawa Masaoyu became extremely envious when he saw Xiaolu's newly built courtyard at Shirakawa Feng's house.

Because there used to be such a courtyard in Tozawa, even bigger than this one, and there were more than one.

It's just that they are now being filled into the national treasury and auctioned off to private individuals.

This is the price for keeping Tozawa's honorable code, and this is also the price Tozawa Masaoji paid for being able to attend the party at the Kasumi Hall.

And encounters like the Huze family's are common among the Chinese.

With such a high inheritance tax, the first to suffer is the lower ranks of the Chinese clan, viscounts and barons.

They don't have the background and influence of dukes and marquises, so they have no way to take advantage of legal loopholes, so they can only pay taxes obediently.

Therefore, in order to maintain the title of the family, many viscounts and barons did not hesitate to sell their properties and cut down on food and clothing.

But despite this, the number of Chinese members participating in Xia Huiguan has been slowly decreasing in recent years.

Therefore, in the view of Tozawa Masayoshi, the lower class of Chinese people, the abolition of the Chinese family and the decline of the family are all due to the orders of General Mike in the United States.

Without pressure from the United States, how could the emperor issue such a decree.

Everything is America's fault!

"No! The abolition of the American country by the Chinese is at most one of the incentives." Bai Chuanfeng directly interrupted his self-deception.

What Mai Tianhuang, that's just a catalyst.

Unlike Masao Tozawa's resentment, Bai Chuanfeng's view of the Chinese is more objective and rational.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, at the time Iwata Shuzosang clearly said that it was because of the pressure from the United States that the Chinese had to be abolished."

Iwata Yuzao explained to the Chinese people in the House of Nobles that this was an order from the United States, and the emperor had to obey it.

Masao Tozawa and the others also believed it. After all, American father, they can still resist.

As a result, the Chinese families who were a little noisy at first stopped their flags and drums in an instant, and obediently accepted the Chinese abolition order.

But today Bai Chuanfeng told him that it was not for this reason, which surprised Masao Tozawa inexplicably.

"Toze-san, since the day the Huazu was established, it has been opposed by the world.

The Chinese family was established during the Meiji period, and the Meiji period was a period of innovation.

At the time of major changes, but turning back the wheel of history, is there really no opinion from the outside world? "

Faced with Bai Chuanfeng's doubts, Tozawa Masao moved his lips, and finally fell silent in a rare way.

"The reason why the Chinese clan was established at that time was to comfort the many meritorious service of the previous dynasty, and secondly, the traditional power was still huge at that time, and it was not appropriate to directly cancel the existence of the nobles.

But at that time, European aristocrats had gradually withdrawn from the political arena and were widely criticized by the world.

Influenced by this kind of Western thought, Neon has also blown a wave of criticism in China.

Do you know how the major media judged the Chinese at that time? 'Do nothing eaters'! "

Tozawa Masaoji's body trembled, his face turning blue and white.

"With the liberation of feudal ideology, the Chinese are destined to be replaced, which is the natural law of social development.

Ask any ordinary person on the street today, would they accept that there is a superior class above them?

No, the neon masses of today. Except for the de facto emperor, no nobles stipulated by the law will be accepted. "

Bai Chuanfeng took off the so-called Chinese cloak, and showed it naked in front of Tozawa Masao.

"In addition to the masses, would those cabinet ministers who wield real power be willing to see the Chinese grow bigger?

Tozawa Sangni didn't realize that there are fewer and fewer Chinese people who are still engaged in politics nowadays? "

Tozawa Masaoji was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, his face became more and more gloomy.

Yes, after all, the Hua clan is inextricably linked with the royal clan. Either their close relatives or their marriage partners.

In short, in the eyes of outsiders, the Chinese and royal families are naturally one. In the previous regulations on the privileges of the Chinese, there was a provision that the Chinese should wear mourning for the royal family.

If the Chinese are powerful, they will have a great influence in the political circle. So how should the cabinet ministers who hold the real power deal with themselves? Has the royal family started to take power again?

Therefore, the weakening of the Chinese clan is the result that many forces are most willing to see, except that the royal family is still friendly with them.

In the political world, not everyone wants to see the Chinese. Although the dukes are still in power in the local area, that is the root cause and cannot be eliminated in a short time.

But once the lower class Chinese leave the political circle, they will basically be insulated from politics in the future.

Most of the Chinese people nowadays have turned their goals to the financial world. Since they have no power, they should be rich.

With their influence, it is no problem to keep their wealth.

Does Masao Tozawa understand the reason for the decline of the Chinese race? He understood, but he didn't want to admit it.

He tried every means to get involved with Bai Chuanfeng, maybe he didn't plan to make himself a rich man.

As for the glory of the Huze family, it is best to carry forward it in the future, if it is not possible to live a wealthy life.

Now that Bai Chuanfeng has spread all this out, Tozawa Masaoji has lost the pride and reserve he had just now.

After the so-called halo of the Chinese race faded from him, he is now just an ordinary middle-aged man with gray temples and a lonely expression.

"Xiao Feng!" Suddenly Masao Tozawa stood up and bowed straight to Bai Chuanfeng at 90 degrees.

"Eh?" Bai Chuanfeng was taken aback by him, what was he trying to do.

"Xiaofeng, please help the Toze family. The glory of the ancestors may not be reappeared, but the family name of Toze must be passed on!"

Saying that, Masao Tozawa bowed his head again, still maintaining the bowing posture.

"But Tozawa-san, there is no need to mention the change of surname. I will always keep the surname Bai Chuan."

To be honest, although Bai Chuanfeng did not recognize this uncle, it is also true that he is an elder.

Now that Hu Ze, as an elder, treated him with such a great gift, Bai Chuanfeng also looked at him with admiration.

This Tozawa-san, although a little unreliable. But being able to bend and stretch is enough to make him like a fish in water in the Xia Guild Hall.

Instead of being like other viscounts and barons, who will never be seen again after a few years.

However, it is impossible to change Bai Chuanfeng's surname. The surname of Bai Chuan will not be worse than any Chinese surname in the future.

He has this self-confidence and the capital of pride.

"Xiaofeng, you don't need to change your surname. As long as one of your future heirs can inherit Huze's surname."

Masao Tozawa has already figured it out, since Bai Chuanfeng can't do it, then seek his descendants to inherit the mantle of the Tozawa family.

Baichuan Electric has already gained a great reputation, and his family composition will not be so bad in the future.

It was even possible to form a new family, in which case his descendants would surely enjoy an elite education.

The offspring who receive this kind of education are naturally better than ordinary people.

Then it would be perfect for one of them to inherit the Huzawa family's surname. The two are naturally close in blood, which is much more reliable than recruiting a son-in-law or adopting a son.

In addition, with the strong character of this nephew, if he succeeds to the descendants of the Tozawa family and encounters difficulties, he will definitely not stand by and do nothing.

In this way, the inheritance of the family has also been guaranteed, and even with Bai Chuanfeng's escort, they may even go to a higher level.

For the continuation of the family, Masao Tozawa has gone to great lengths, and his small abacus is crackling.

As for his proposal, Bai Chuanfeng was shocked again.

Good guy, this loop is one loop after another, follow yourself, right?

Seeing that Bai Chuanfeng didn't speak, Tozawa Masaoji made a heartbeat, "slap", "boom"!

"Tozawa-san, what are you doing?!"

Masao Tozawa, who was kneeling on the ground and seated under the soil, replied sullenly, without raising his head, "Xiaofeng, please take pity on me, an extinct person!"

this.
