''Daimyô'' Hachisuka Haruaki then worked to compete against the power of the Osaka cartels by establishing his own rival cartels. In addition to the establishment of a fertilizer tonya in 1799 and other efforts, in the early years of the 1800s he arranged, through his Edo and Osaka rusuiyaku, to have a select set of designated merchants in each city who would handle Awa indigo. He also worked to promote local products other than indigo, including [[paper]], [[salt]], [[tobacco]], [[sugar]], and [[tea]]. The Osaka merchants got upset yet again, and launched a suit, yet again; the domain responded by doubling down on its controlling policies. Since the shogunate was reluctant to get involved in complex commercial issues between too many different parties, and since Tokushima was able to engineer to its own benefit the outcomes of any compromises between the multiple parties (multiple different factions of Osaka merchants, dyers, etc.), the lawsuit ultimately collapsed, by [[1807]].<ref name=rav181/>

In [[1813]], the domain then proposed the establishment of a new domain warehouse, through which all Awa indigo sent to Osaka would flow. In a letter to the ''[[roju|rôjû]]'' [[Makino Tadakiyo]], Haruaki defended this new system by claiming it to be in accordance with precedent, representing his opponents (the Osaka merchants) as merely litigious and greedy, and was successful in getting his new system approved.<ref name=rav183>Ravina, 183-184.</ref>

By [[1831]], the domain had considerably expanded its operations, and controlled guilds in provinces throughout Japan, from [[Iyo province|Iyo]] and [[Aki province|Aki]] to [[Mutsu province|Mutsu]], to [[Kyoto]], [[Ise province|Ise]], and [[Owari province|Owari]], exerting considerable control over its own distribution networks.<ref name=rav183/>
