Kanjurou reform of Tokugawa steel bar

This Song Bo Kanjurou is a ronin from Meinung, but because Kenshiro has excellent economic ability, he was hired by San Francisco of Yamato Prefecture and San Francisco of the Northern Kingdom to help reform. Therefore, Okada entertained Kanjurou and asked him to devote himself to the reform of the government of the buffer region together with the retainer.

In order to reform the government of the buffer region, Kan Shiro and others made saving orders, reduced funds and personnel, and carried out unnecessary institutional reform or abolition. Punishing those who misbehave is also supported by the people in the Mito area. In business, Guan Shiro only allows businessmen born in Mito Francisco to do business in Shimonoseki, while restricting businessmen from other Francisco. But it does make business more prosperous.

Kanjurou is also working on the Grand Canal project, and he hopes that his financial situation will improve due to the deal with Edo. Because this project began to build the Hongye Canal, the financial situation in the Francisco also improved. But the people in this project are too autocratic and the people are tortured. At the same time, strict land rent increase policy is also implemented. And this series of reforms is called "Bao Yongxin Law".

However, due to the policy of increasing land rent and the labor of building canals, people's anger has been aroused. Finally, the people directly told the outline that Qing Xin and Kanjurou should be fired and the new law should be completely abolished. In order to quell public grievances, Okada removed Kanshilang and Qing Xin from their posts. Kanjurou, who was specially named by the people, was put in prison. In Zheng Deyuannian (17 1 1), Kenshiro died in prison. It is said that Okada was very sad about Kanjurou's death at that time. At present, in Tomita City, Ibaraki-CHO, Ibaraki Prefecture, there is "Kanjurou Hori" in a short section of the original Hongye Canal.
