The bad reputation that the Satsuma Domain had rested on things like this, and caused them no small interruption of their activities in Kyoto and Osaka, Saigo was ordered by Dennai KOBA of Osaka Rusui to regulate the activeity of the merchant of Satsuma who is in Osaka on June 11, and he gave the order to merchants who did not have Orai-tegata (travel permit) to go return to their points of origin, and also made strict regulations in the domain, and took measures against merchants coming to Osaka by command of domain.
こうして形成された薩摩藩への悪評（世論も大きな影響を持っていた）は薩摩藩の京都・大坂での活動に大きな支障となったので、西郷は6月11日に大坂留守居木場伝内に上坂中の薩摩商人の取締りを命じ、往来手形を持参していない商人らにも帰国するよう命じ、併せて藩内での取締りも強化し、藩命を以て大商人らを上坂させぬように処置した。
