00:00I'm not doing it!
00:02You're lying!
00:03This person killed my father!
00:05What?!
00:07If you're going to say that,
00:09then give me proof!
00:11Hey, hey, hey!
00:14Cut it out!
00:17You, Toyama Sakuya!
00:19I don't care if you don't remember me!
00:21That tattoo...
00:22Aren't you Toyama's Kii-san?
00:24I'm not Toyama's Kii-san!
00:26I'm Toyama's Sakuya!
00:28Aren't you Toyama's Kii-san?
00:30Don't tell me...
00:31You're Toyama's Kii-san!
00:33Ah, ah, ah!
00:36Toyama Kinshiro, the super hero of Edo Shobin,
00:39is today's protagonist!
00:43These great people have accomplished great things
00:46in order to change the world.
00:48How much money did these heroes in history make?
00:53As they follow the path of their ancestors,
00:56they will see a bright future!
00:59The Unforgettable Year of the Mermaid, How Much?
01:04Welcome to How Much, I'm Shosuke Tanihara.
01:07Good evening, I'm Rena Yamazaki.
01:09Rena-chan,
01:10what is your impression of Toyama Kinshiro,
01:12a city martial artist known as Toyama's Kin-san?
01:15Everyone above the parents' generation likes him.
01:18That's right, he's a hero.
01:20That's why I wanted to find out
01:23why everyone loves him so much.
01:26Let's see how much money he made
01:29while following Kinshiro's life.
01:35Tokyo, Yurakucho.
01:39There's a stone wall in front of the station.
01:43Do you know what's here?
01:47I think it's a part of the stone wall in the castle of Edo Castle.
01:50Isn't this a place to take a break?
01:53Toyama's Kin-san was actually a judge.
01:57Really? I didn't know that.
02:00This is where Toyama Kinshiro worked as a martial artist.
02:06What kind of person was Toyama Kinshiro,
02:09a famous martial artist who was a hero of Edo?
02:14Toyama Kinshiro was a great martial artist.
02:17If it wasn't for him,
02:19Tokyo wouldn't have developed so much.
02:25Tokyo wouldn't have developed without Kinshiro?
02:29What kind of life did he lead?
02:34This is Edo Castle, about 230 years old.
02:38Kinshiro was born as the eldest son of a wealthy family.
02:43Come on, Kinshiro!
02:47His father, Kagemichi, was the one who instilled the spirit of a martial artist.
02:53Kagemichi was an officer called Hatamoto.
02:58Like Daimyo, Hatamoto was a high-ranking officer
03:02who could meet the Shogun directly.
03:05He was like a high-ranking officer who served as a central officer.
03:11His father was also a diplomat.
03:14He was also a diplomat of the Shogunate.
03:17He was a skilled diplomat who communicated with the Western countries.
03:21Wow.
03:24I'll be a great officer like my father!
03:29It was normal for a son-in-law to be the heir.
03:33Kinshiro was also determined to become a diplomat.
03:37However...
03:39The Toyama family will be passed on to Kageyoshi.
03:43What? I'm not the heir?
03:48The heir was Girino Agi, who had no blood ties.
03:54Kinshiro suddenly lost his mind and passed away.
03:59I can't study anymore.
04:03I'm bored, so I'll hang out in the town of Edo.
04:08It's been about 200 years since the Wakufu was established.
04:12A world without war has come.
04:14People are living in peace.
04:16Ukiyo-e and Kabuki are popular in the town.
04:22I'm surprised.
04:25I'm surprised.
04:27I didn't know the town of Edo was such a lively and fun place.
04:33Kinshiro rarely went out to play in the town.
04:37Everything he saw and heard in the town was new to him.
04:43Kinshiro drinks alcohol with the villagers.
04:47He goes out to play and spends his youth.
04:52There is a story about Kinshiro at that time.
04:57He was doing a bad job in the town of Yoshibara.
05:03At that time, tattoos were popular in the town.
05:08Artisans with a lot of skin exposed were wearing tattoos as a fashion.
05:15It is said that Kinshiro also got a tattoo at that time.
05:22Kinshiro is 32 years old.
05:26He is going through a difficult time.
05:31His older brother passed away.
05:36Kinshiro, you are the heir of the Toyama family.
05:40You have to work for the Wakufu.
05:44Yes, father.
05:47The next year, Kinshiro works for the Wakufu.
05:53Kinshiro became the Wakufu at the age of 33.
05:57How much did he earn at that time?
06:02Mr. Hironori Okazaki, who knows about Kinshiro's financial situation, will tell us.
06:08Kinshiro's first job was a miscellaneous worker for Tokugawa Ieyoshi, the 12th Shogun.
06:16His annual income was 3 million yen.
06:19It is about 7.2 million yen.
06:25It is about 7.2 million yen.
06:28What was he like as a samurai at that time?
06:31Let's take a look at his fortune.
06:34This is the main fortune of the Edo period.
06:38He earned 6,000 yen a month.
06:41He earned 240 yen a year.
06:44He earned 3,750 yen a month.
06:47He earned 240 yen a cup of soba.
06:50The average salary of a samurai at that time was 1.8 million yen.
06:56Kinshiro earned four times that.
07:00It was his first year.
07:02He earned 4,000 yen a month.
07:05Kinshiro is doing his best as a descendant of the Toyama family.
07:09What is he doing now?
07:11Let's ask him.
07:13This is the Kamaguchi-Katajiku monitor.
07:16One, two, three.
07:17Kinshiro.
07:20Kinshiro.
07:22Kinshiro.
07:24He looks at me right away.
07:26Kinshiro.
07:27Hello.
07:29Where are you working now?
07:32This is a martial arts office in Kitamachi.
07:36Do you have a trial?
07:38That's right.
07:40How are you taking care of the shogun?
07:43I took good care of him.
07:47But that was 15 years ago.
07:51That's a long time ago.
07:53Isn't he with you now?
07:56After that, I did a lot of work.
08:00I became the head of the Hatamoto family.
08:03I am now in a very important position.
08:07Congratulations on your promotion.
08:10Thank you very much.
08:11What do you do?
08:14I am in charge of the Edo government and judicial system.
08:19I am in charge of political trials, security, and fire.
08:23So you're in charge of the governor, the judge, the prosecutor, and the fire department.
08:30That's right.
08:32You must have a lot of salary.
08:35You don't have a place to sleep, do you?
08:37I don't need to talk about money.
08:40Toyama.
08:42There is a big fire in Ueno.
08:46What?
08:47Call the police immediately.
08:51We also need to deal with the increasing number of firefighters.
08:55Call your boss around Ueno.
08:59Like that?
09:01It looks like a lot of work.
09:03But you did it all at once.
09:05That's great.
09:07I'm sorry.
09:08I was in the middle of an interview.
09:10I'm sorry.
09:12I have a lot of work to do.
09:17I work from 6 a.m. to midnight every day.
09:21Don't you want to quit your job?
09:24No, I don't.
09:25I have a strong sense of duty to protect the lives of people living in Edo.
09:31Toyama.
09:32Yes.
09:33The governor wants to see you.
09:35What?
09:36Please go to the castle immediately.
09:38No, I can't.
09:40If I don't go now, the governor might get angry again.
09:45Excuse me.
09:47It looks like a lot of work.
09:55I'm back, Lord Mizuno.
09:59Here you are.
10:02Mizuno Tadakuni, the leader of the government.
10:06He is the leader of the government at the second-most position in the government.
10:14At this time, Mizuno was working on the reconstruction of the government's wealth.
10:19It was an urgent task to rebuild the government's wealth, which had fallen into a crisis due to forced labor and funds.
10:28In 1841, Mizuno led a bold reform that had never been done before.
10:35It's called the reform of the store.
10:39First of all, we will ban all luxury from the merchants.
10:43We will make them work for the government.
10:46The first thing Mizuno did to rebuild the government's wealth was to ban all luxury.
10:53It was forbidden to wear a gorgeous kimono and accessories.
11:00It was forbidden to eat high-class food and hand-made food.
11:04Furthermore, it was forbidden to wear colorful hanga and children's toys.
11:11Two months after the ban on luxury was issued,
11:15Kinshiro went to the report office to investigate the situation in Edo.
11:20What the hell is this?
11:24He was in a terrible state.
11:29The sales of gofukuten in Edo were significantly reduced compared to the previous year.
11:38According to the report of a vaccine,
11:41except for the merchants who deal in necessities such as rice and medicine, everything was out of order and the market was deserted.
11:49It was written that the people would not be able to live for two or three years.
11:56If Mizuno's policy continues, people's lives will be ruined.
12:02I have to do something.
12:04Kinshiro, who saw the situation seriously, decided to ask Mizuno to change his policy.
12:11However, he was worried about how to persuade Mizuno, who did not want to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.
12:19And then...
12:21Mizuno-sama.
12:22It is important to be considerate to maintain the prosperity of Edo.
12:28I don't think that kind of consideration is enough for this policy.
12:33What are you talking about?
12:36You can't change the policy like that!
12:39However, isn't there a misunderstanding between your policy and the government's policy?
12:48What?
12:50Then, do you have any ideas?
12:53I have a suggestion.
12:55Why don't we limit the number of prohibited items that restrict the lives of the people to about ten?
13:01What did you say?
13:04Kinshiro suggested that the number of prohibited items should be limited to those that do not directly affect the lives of the people,
13:14such as women's jewelry, which has become a source of income for prostitutes,
13:19and bacteria that move in one night.
13:22Mizuno strongly agrees with this proposal.
13:27Kinshiro found a way to save the lives of the people without destroying Mizuno's reputation.
13:35Eventually, the popularity of Edo returned, and the problem was solved.
13:40Or so he thought.
13:43Half a year later, Mizuno's recklessness again...
13:48Kinshiro!
13:50Dispose of all the prohibited items in Edo!
13:53What? Why do we have to dispose of them?
13:56It's because it's a luxury to collect them for display and make people pay for them!
14:02At that time, the Edo people considered disposal of prohibited items as a means of entertainment.
14:06It was a wonderland where you could see performances such as Rakugo, Joruri, Monomane, and Tejina at a glance.
14:15The admission fee was 50 yen, which is about 750 yen for today's money.
14:21Kinshiro forgot about his daily life and enjoyed the whole day.
14:26There were 233 Yose in Edo, and it was very lively.
14:34Yose is a place where you can heal your tiredness of work every day.
14:38You must not take away the small joys of ordinary people's daily lives.
14:44After much thought, Kinshiro told Mizuno this.
14:49Mizuno-sama, the guests of Yose are all poor people.
14:53There is no other job for entertainers.
14:56If you close Yose, they will feel dissatisfied and do evil things.
15:01Here is one thing.
15:02Why don't you reduce it, not abolish it?
15:07If that's the case, I have no choice.
15:11In an extreme crisis, Mizuno pointed out that there was a risk of rebellion.
15:21In this way, Yose was reduced to 24, but it was not completely abolished.
15:29After work, why don't we go to Yose after a long time?
15:33Sounds good. I want to laugh from time to time.
15:37Now, this time it's settled.
15:40No, it didn't.
15:43Mizuno's recklessness is even more heated up.
15:46What will you do, Kinshiro?
15:50It is difficult to keep a balance between wealth and economy now and in the past.
15:56Whatever you do, there are opposing opinions.
15:59After all, after the consumption tax was raised, the economy suddenly collapsed.
16:04There is a part that can be saved by the consumption tax,
16:08but because of that, the economy has collapsed and the overall movement has deteriorated.
16:14Without the reform of Mizuno Tadakuni, it may have been a situation where he could not come back.
16:21That's why the reform was necessary, but there was also a bit of coercion.
16:28But that's what a leader is.
16:30It is necessary to be coercive.
16:32That's right.
16:34I guess there were a lot of commoners who asked Mizuno if he really understood the feeling of the city.
16:40That's right.
16:41The reform of this store was very unpopular with the commoners.
16:45Here is what it shows.
16:47It is a wind painting that was very popular in the city of Edo at that time.
16:52Mizuno Tadakuni is drawn in the lower right.
16:57There is a youkai drawn in the black background behind it.
17:02It seems that this represents the commoners.
17:06It is said that the expression of the youkai represents people who have painful feelings and people who have grudges.
17:15I heard that it was heated up even more at the end of the VTR.
17:19Aren't you curious?
17:20That's right.
17:21Let's listen.
17:24Kin-san!
17:29Kin-san?
17:30Mizuno-sama is in trouble.
17:32What's the matter, Kin-san?
17:34Mizuno-sama said that he would regulate Kabuki if the Yose-no-ken was settled.
17:43But Yose and Kabuki are the entertainment of the Edo period.
17:48That's right.
17:49What kind of restriction is it?
17:50Kabuki goya, which had three of them, was relocated to the outskirts of Edo.
17:56Not only that.
17:58Ichikawa Ebizo, which is very popular, was a luxury ban.
18:04Edo Juri Shihou Tokoro Barai.
18:07Edo Juri Shihou Tokoro Barai?
18:09Mizuno-sama's rampage is escalating.
18:14But it's not just Kin-san who gave an opinion to Mizuno-san.
18:19Kin-san!
18:21Actually, there was another person.
18:24Gin-san?
18:25No.
18:26No?
18:27Who is it?
18:28It's my best friend, Yabe Sadanori, who was in the Minamimachi Bugyo.
18:35He said that he would do what he had to do as a Machibugyo, so he had an opinion on Mizuno-sama.
18:42Really? I'm glad to hear that.
18:44But Mizuno-sama was so angry that he was fired.
18:48What?
18:49Yabe committed suicide after that.
18:51What?
18:52He was killed?
18:54Yes.
18:55That's painful.
18:56Mizuno-san, you can't do anything about it.
19:03No.
19:04I don't need to worry about that.
19:06I'm going to say what I have to say to protect the lives of the people of Edo.
19:13I have a backer named General Ieyoshi.
19:19Oh!
19:20You have General Ieyoshi on your side?
19:24Yes.
19:25I thought Mizuno-sama wouldn't be fired on his own, so I put on a big show.
19:30What did you do?
19:32One day, General Ieyoshi had a great opportunity to extend his sentence.
19:36So I set up a stage for General Ieyoshi to watch.
19:42What do you mean, a stage for General Ieyoshi to watch?
19:45First of all, General Ieyoshi wouldn't be interested in the trial of the people's quarrels.
19:50So I chose the trial of the Yoshien family because it was a problem that could happen even in the General family.
19:56I showed a fair trial there.
20:00That's impressive.
20:02Then General Ieyoshi said,
20:04It was a truly vivid trial.
20:07All martial artists should be like Toyama.
20:12Wow!
20:13That's a great compliment.
20:15But you won the trust and put General Ieyoshi on your side.
20:19But you did that, didn't you?
20:22What?
20:23You scattered the cherry blossoms, didn't you?
20:26What?
20:27Scattered?
20:28What are you talking about?
20:29I've never heard of a person who shows a tattoo and takes a pose.
20:35Besides, my tattoo is not a cherry blossom blizzard.
20:39What?
20:40I only knew the cherry blossom blizzard.
20:42Then what kind of pattern is it?
20:45That's a problem.
20:49Here's the question.
20:51Which of the following tattoos did Kinshiro have?
20:57A. Giraffe.
20:59B. Female face.
21:00C. Love.
21:01Why is it a giraffe?
21:03Did giraffes appear in the Edo period?
21:06I don't know.
21:07I think it's a fantasy.
21:10I think it's love.
21:12But I think it's A.
21:15I'm a fan of Carp, so I think it's love.
21:20But I'm curious about the female face.
21:22Why is it a female face?
21:24Okay, I've decided.
21:26What is it?
21:28It was the most mysterious answer.
21:32Is it a female face?
21:34I'm a fan of Carp.
21:36I thought it was Sakura-chan.
21:39The cherry blossom blizzard?
21:41I thought it was Sakura-chan.
21:43I see.
21:44The answer is...
21:46B! It's a female face!
21:49There is a theory that this was included.
21:54It was a picture of a woman swinging her hair from her shoulders to her arms.
21:59It was a picture of a woman swinging her hair from her shoulders to her arms.
22:05Is this famous?
22:07I don't think many people know about it.
22:09Because Kinshiro didn't show his tattoos to anyone.
22:14He only showed his tattoos to his wife.
22:18That's one of the theories.
22:22Mizuno Tadakuni continues to rampage under the guise of reform.
22:26Will Kinshiro be able to stop it?
22:29It's time for the climax.
22:32In 1842, Mizuno launches a new policy to rebuild the government.
22:40It's the law of return.
22:42Kinshiro, return all the peasants to their villages.
22:47Why?
22:49To secure the rice that will be the country's resource.
22:53At this time, the population of the peasants in Edo was 553,200.
22:59The people who came from rural areas reached 165,000 and 30%.
23:08On the other hand, there was not enough people in rural areas, and the rice harvest was declining.
23:16If we return the peasants to their villages, the rice production may increase.
23:21But if we do that, what will happen to Edo?
23:25Kinshiro begins to investigate what kind of work the people from rural areas are doing in Edo.
23:31I want to know the truth.
23:33I'll study this fish every time.
23:38Are you not from Edo?
23:42That's right. I'm from Osaka.
23:46Excuse me, are you from Edo?
23:49I'm from Tohoku.
23:53After walking around the city of Edo for a while, I realized...
23:57Many of the craftsmen who support Edo are from rural areas.
24:01If they are gone, the economy of Edo will be in chaos.
24:07Kinshiro tries to stop this production, but...
24:12If I submit to Mr. Ieyoshi, who trusts me, I may be able to stop it.
24:19But then Mr. Mizuno will definitely bow his head.
24:24So I looked up a huge amount of data stored in the Ministry of Defense to see if there were any similar production cases in the past.
24:32Then...
24:35Mr. Toyama, I found it!
24:38What is it?
24:41All right! Now I can convince Mr. Mizuno.
24:46What I found was a record of a return of 50 years ago.
24:50What was written on it was a terrible failure.
24:55At that time, the Ministry of Defense had 3 ryo as a budget and tool for recruiting people to return to the countryside.
25:01With the money we have now, we can prepare a budget of 180,000 yen.
25:05However, only 4 applicants were able to return to the countryside.
25:12So we raised the budget to 30 ryo, but the Ministry of Defense budget is about 1 million ryo.
25:18At the point of returning only 30,000 people, it is clear that the national budget will reach that level.
25:25It ended up as planned.
25:28Kinshiro immediately wrote a report.
25:31He concluded that the return of people is less realistic than in the past.
25:36He said that the local people are indispensable to the economy of Edo.
25:43What is Mizuno's reaction?
25:46Kinshiro, I understand what you want to say.
25:50However, I will not allow you to return this policy to nothing.
25:56Mizuno has a proposal.
26:01I have one.
26:02Why don't you let go of the original owner and return only those who are independent?
26:08Some of the local people came to Edo and had a wife and children.
26:13Why don't you separate such a family as a way of life?
26:19Hmm...
26:22Then, return only those who have not yet died in Edo to the country.
26:28Yes, I understand.
26:31Kinshiro's compromise proposal changed the return of people to something much lighter.
26:37By thoroughly investigating the facts, the impact was minimized.
26:44In this way, the reform of the store ended in failure, and Mizuno also left.
26:51Kinshiro, who devoted himself to the reform of Mizuno, and protected the lives of the people of Edo.
26:58His work spread to the city, and he became a popular person called Kin-san of Toyama.
27:05It really says Kin-san of Toyama.
27:09In 1855, a 63-year-old hero quietly put an end to his life.
27:21Then, in 1870, Edo moved to Tokyo, a huge city.
27:28Kin-san of Toyama is now popular in Kabuki and TV dramas.
27:34This is how Kinshiro's achievements have been passed down to the present.
27:45It's cool.
27:47It's good.
27:48He's a hero.
27:49He's a hero of the people.
27:50In the image of TV, it was an image of helping the weak in the crowd.
27:56But in reality, it was a difficult battle.
28:03I thought he fought well.
28:07Let's move on to the story of Kasegi.
28:10When the reform of the store was over, Kinshiro thought about his practice in his 50s.
28:17He was a great man.
28:19The image of a great man is 10,000 goku.
28:2210,000 goku is 6 billion yen.
28:25I think he got about 1,500 goku.
28:28In addition to that, it's 90 million yen.
28:3190 million yen.
28:33I'll make it about 35 million yen.
28:36Yes, let's go.
28:38Kinshiro Toyama, known as the hero of Edo, will announce his practice in his 50s.
28:50His practice in his 50s.
28:54It's 108 million yen.
28:563,000 goku.
28:57Yes, that's right.
29:01He's made a lot of money.
29:03Machi Bugyo, the top store in Hatamoto, received 3,000 goku from the government every year.
29:08If you convert it to the current money, it will be 108 million yen.
29:12There is no record of how he used this money.
29:17He retired from Machi Bugyo at the age of 60.
29:20He went to see a play with his family.
29:23He enjoyed collecting paintings.
29:26He was a good man.
29:28He was a star and he continued to be a star.
29:31That's why he's still talked about and told stories.
29:34That's right.
29:35You can feel his love.
29:39That's right.
29:40Kinshiro has been alive all the time.
29:43But he died at the age of 63.
29:46I wish he could live longer.
29:50That's right.
29:52What kind of life will we see next?
29:55See you next time.
