Takada Haruno shuddered and realized that she was still too naive. She thought she was bad enough, but she didn't expect that the powerful people like the Lord had more vicious eyes and darker hearts.
Yiyin said calmly.
"Tucang borrowing money is a centuries-old business. If you don't have any background behind you, you can borrow the money but you won't be able to get it back.
The stewards of Tokura in Kyoto and Sakai Port stood in front of the stage, behind him were the famous nobles of Kyoto, various sects and temples, and powerful local martial arts masters.
I see that the background behind each Tucang family is clearly written in the document, so you are interested."
Takata Yono felt bitter in his heart.
She carefully wrote about the forces behind Tucang, which was used to increase her own importance. She hoped that the Lord would treat her with caution and not remove her from office and investigate.
But she never imagined that this background check could have other uses.
Yiyin sneered.
"I can't afford to offend the whole family. The money of those crazy nuns must be handled carefully. The interest that should be paid should be paid, and the dividends should be distributed.
Harano, you have done a great job in building a good relationship with Ishiyama Honganji Temple. You helped me a lot when Echichu went into battle.
As for some people, there is no need to worry.
His Majesty Oda is greedy for Minami Omi. The Rokkaku family cannot be saved, and the local powerful samurai family must be purged.
In the Kyoto Incident, ministers were closely involved, and it was up to them to decide who should die and who should not.
The local samurai family, the Miyoshi family and the Miyoshi family over there in Settsu, as well as those from the Shikoku Miyoshi family, let’s see the situation. I always feel that the Miyoshi family will not collapse so quickly.”
Yiyin shook the document in his hand, put it back on the document, and said coldly.
"Yangno, it's a pity that you borrowed too little.
We, the Sibo family, are all about credibility when doing things, and we will definitely pay back the money we owe.
However, if the original owner is no longer here, we have no way to pay it back, so we can only bury the dead debt and there is nothing we can do about it."
Takada Haruno lowered her head and listened with a cold sweat. She was glad in her heart that she had a good sister, otherwise she would not be able to pass the test this time.
As expected, I was still too naive, thinking that this large amount of debt was a mess that my master could not do without me.
But what the Lord said makes sense, and not everyone’s money needs to be repaid. It’s impossible to repay a dead person’s money even if he wants to.
As for why it became a dead debt?
Fight first, then liquidate. If Oda goes to Luo and starts a war with the Miyoshi family, military action will inevitably lead to a political reshuffle, death will inevitably occur, and the economic problem will be easily solved.
Yiyin looked at Yangno, sighed slightly and said.
"Aren't you very courageous? I just scare you a few times and your face turns pale?
Do you know that when you go into battle, blood will flow like a river, and with your little tricks, who of the warriors on the battlefield will be really afraid?
Threatening me? It's worse than Yukino's nonsense. I really can't do anything to her.
You, you, don’t think too much. I just want you to understand that what you think is difficult is actually not that difficult.
You should pay back the money you should pay as usual. The reputation of the Spall family and my reputation are not so worthless, and I won't resort to dirty tricks just to waste this little money.
But I estimate that after going to Luo this time, many of the loans will really not need to be repaid.
The Miyoshi family has a large military presence in Kyoto, and the military supplies for a winter will not be short. Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone an army that is accustomed to using violence to solve problems.
I hope that when we return to Kyoto, the castle towns have not been demolished yet, so that we can leave some vitality to Kyoto."
Yoshihiro shook his head and threatened the samurai family with debts. Takada Yono was really stupid. Although the samurai family did not understand finance, they knew how to use violence and physical destruction.
The economic base determines the superstructure. If there is an economic problem, political means will be used to adjust it.
War is a continuation of politics.
War is used to pay debts.
———
Soon, Takada Yono and Ishida Mitsunari greeted each other in front of the Ginza.
The two were on opposite ends of the Hokuriku Road trade route. They had strengthened their cooperation in the past two years and kept writing letters. Although they met for the first time, the scene was not cold and they were talking and laughing.
Ishida Mitsunari was polite while thinking about something on his mind. Shiba Yoshigan had hinted to her before that he might let her take charge of Sakai Port business.
Regarding this, Ishida Mitsunari felt itchy.
The main body of Japan's external trade is the line from Kyushu to the Seto Inland Sea. Sakai Port, located in the East Seto Inland Sea, is a transit hub for maritime trade connecting the most prosperous areas in the island country.
Compared with Sakai Port, although Naoejin has developed well in the past two years, it is still very different and only marginally different.
If Ishida Mitsunari can become the person in charge of the Shiba family in Sakai Port, Ishida Mitsunari will make a lot of money when he comes back this time.
But seeing the five-fingered palm print on Takada Haruno's face, she could still smile and be polite to her. Ishida Mitsunari felt uneasy and always felt uneasy.
It doesn't seem like Takada Haruno was severely punished. The samurai lords rarely slapped him on their own. These superiors preferred to drag him out and behead him.
Is it possible to get through with just a few slaps?
Ishida Mitsunari was still thinking wildly, feeling that the cooked duck might fly.
Her worry about gain and loss fell into Takada Yono's eyes, which was simply ridiculous.
I followed my master and struggled out of the countryside in Owari. He was a confidant among his confidants, a loyal family dog. You, a native of Omi who came in halfway, dare to covet my position?
Takada Yono had a sneer on her face, completely forgetting how hesitant and helpless she was before. If it weren't for the help of her sister, she would be the one worrying about gains and losses right now.
Yiyin glanced at the changes in their expressions and shook his head secretly.
The sweetness of power makes people lose themselves, and no matter how wise they are, it is difficult to stay calm and watch their power and position being taken away by others.
Yiyin couldn't help but think about it, if one day, it comes to a time when power and emotion can only be chosen.
Some of these Ji warriors who love themselves deeply can abandon the temptation of power and continue to follow them.
Yukino's face appeared in Yoshigami's mind, and then the figure of Ashikaga Yoshiki flashed past. He shook his head, feeling that something was wrong with him recently, and he always thought about Ashikaga Yoshiki more and more.
As expected, the living cannot be compared with the dead. Except for Yukino, Yoshigami is not sure about anyone else.
Or, try it?
As soon as this thought came into Yiyin's mind, he quickly put it out. Human nature cannot stand the test. People who always think about testing others are mentally ill.
He took his thoughts back, looked at the two concubines in front of him, and said.
"Ishida-hime, I summoned you here this time because I have some new ideas. I hope you can implement them for me."
Ishida Mitsunari fell to the ground and kowtowed, solemnly saying.
"Please give instructions from the Imperial Palace."
She felt depressed, hearing the tone of the Odaisho, it was indeed impossible to replace Takada Haruno. He was indeed the only descendant of the Takada family of the Shiba family, and his benevolence was profound and difficult to shake.
Yoshigan glanced at Ishida Mitsunari, saw that she was lost for a moment, and immediately regained her energy, feeling satisfied in her heart. She has a good attitude and is a talented person.
He brought Ishida Mitsunari back and said he would give her a future and wealth, so he would definitely do it, he said.
"Before I went to Kanto, I made suggestions for the peace agreement between the three good parties of the shogunate, and as a result, Japan gained peace for a year and a half.
It's a pity that the Sanhao family was so ambitious that they went to Luo to kill the king, and ruined the whole neighborhood into a mess. It really made me sad.
The world has been in chaos for more than a hundred years, especially in recent times, there have been many turmoils in the central government, and there is no peace for a moment. The struggle for power and profit by the upper class has really made the lower class Ji warriors suffer, and life is very difficult."
Takada Haruno and Ishida Mitsunari looked at each other, wondering what the master meant when he suddenly sang in such a high tune.
But I still can’t figure it out. I have to shoot the pony when it needs to be shot, and I can’t stop.
Takada Yono bowed and said.
"The imperial court is very compassionate, and everyone in the recent family will be very moved when they know your feelings.
In the past few days, the Wu family has faced the evil deeds of the Sanhao family, but they have dared to get angry and dare not speak out. Everyone seems to be looking forward to their father, hoping that you will return to bring order to the past few days and make decisions for everyone."
Ishida Mitsunari followed closely and said.
"The kindness of the emperor is indeed a great blessing for the martial arts in the world. It is my honor to serve under your command and contribute to the righteousness of the world.
Regardless of the imperial office's instructions, Ishida Mitsunari will do his best to complete the errand for you."
Yiyin smiled, pretended to be touched, and said.
"I am lucky to have loyal ministers like you by my side. But the world is in such chaos, what can I, a man, do?
There are clouds in the sky. If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?
I can't care about the resurgence of war in recent years, but I am worried about the retainers in Spoland who are having a hard time.
I am helpless about external matters, but the Wu family who follows me cannot let them live a miserable life of having one meal and one meal at a time.
Since they are loyal to me, I have to give them a basic income to maintain the life of the whole family."
Hearing Yoshigami talking about the loyalty of the samurai family in Shiba Territory in recent times, Takada Haruno and Ishida Mitsunari looked at each other and understood.
Shiba Yiyin wanted to take control of the recent Shiba leaders. But they didn't understand what this had to do with themselves.
Both of them are working in the business field and have no influence on recent Spurrings, so they cannot help.
In particular, Yiyin pointed out that Ishida Mitsunari would be dispatched to handle the matter. Ishida Mitsunari had no connections in recent times in the Spur Territory, so what could he do to help his lord?
Ishida Mitsunari took the initiative to kowtow to the ground and said.
"Your Majesty is of high righteousness, and I would like to thank all the martial arts families in the recent Sibo region to express my gratitude to the Lord."
Yiyin nodded at her twice and said with a smile.
"I don't even know what errands to do, I just know to say nice things. This is not good, Ishida-hime, what I need is your ability.
Let's put it this way, I want to set up a fund to provide security for the retainers of the Spall family.
Let’s start with a pilot project in recent Spo areas. If it goes well, we can roll it out across the board and provide a guarantee for the Sbo family’s ministers in all parts of Kanto and Kansai.”
"Fund?" x2
The two people sitting down looked at the master in confusion, and Yiyin smiled.
"Sibo Zhong Basic Life Margin, referred to as Sibo Zhong Fund."
"Spozhong Fund?" x2
Faced with the doubts of the two people, Yiyin simply stated his idea.
"Yano, I heard you say that there are a large amount of copper coins stored in Sakai Port and Kyoto Tuguang that I dare not lend out.
You go negotiate with them on my behalf and lend me a loan with an interest rate of three years. Is there any problem?"
Takada Yono thought for a while and said.
"With the strength of the Sibo family, there should be no problem with your credibility."
Yiyin nodded and said to Ishida Mitsunari.
"Ishida-hime, you have been serving at the Naoejin Pass for two years and are most familiar with the operation of the Hokurikudo trade route.
You will be in charge of the Shibachu Fund, which will use the Tukura loan as funds to invest in the Hokuriku Dou Trade Route.
I don't care how you operate it, I ask that the money earned by the Sibo Zhong Fund every year should not only pay back 30% of the interest, but also distribute dividends to the retainers of Sibo in recent years.
The specific dividend ratio will be decided after I return to Jinsboling to discuss with the retainers, but you must earn this money for me. In addition to paying dividends in proportion, I will continue to invest the balance every year to make money.
The recent years of Sibo's rule are just the beginning. In the future, all retainers of the Sibo family must have a loyalty fund.
This is my promise to all Sibo’s retainers to be loyal to the public. Those who are loyal to me will be protected by me. I will not expose my husband, wife, old and children to hunger and cold."
Ishida Mitsunari glanced at Takada Harano on the side and said.
"Otaisuo, it's not difficult to make money. The Hokuriku Road Trading Road has been growing in size in the past two years, and the income is much higher than 30%.
I just want to ask, how big is the capital scale of the Shibachu Fund? Because the shares of the Hokurikudo Trading Road have long been divided, if the capital scale is too large, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction from other partners."
Ishida Mitsunari's meaning is very clear.
At the Sakai Port shipping end of the Hokuriku Road trade route, Takata Harno controls the selling price. The Hokuriku Road countries share the profit share of the goods and then resell the goods to earn the price difference. The Naoetsu market accepts the tail goods to develop the Kanto distribution market.
At both ends of Sakai Port and Naoetsu, and in the various countries of Hokurikudo in the middle, everyone is sitting in rows eating fruits, which have been distributed long ago.
If you do some goods on a small scale and make some money, it won't be a big problem. But if you do it on a large scale, it will inevitably erode other people's share.
Ishida Mitsunari needs to figure out how far he can go. What kind of transactions can he participate in at the Sakai Port Shopping Mall, the Hokurikudo Distributor, and the Naoetsu Sales Market.
If you want to make more money, of course it is best to eat three fish and swallow the whole line. But you are afraid that someone will cause trouble and embarrass the master because of the loss of interests.
After all, the Hokurikudo trade route was not purely an economic account, but also a political account.
The most important thing is to have Takada Haruno's nod, because the Shiba Chu Fund's share of the Hokurikudo trade route is equivalent to taking money out of Takada Haruno's pocket, and even requires her to protect it.
Without Takada Yono Matsuguchi, Ishida Mitsunari would not even be able to get a share of the goods at Sakai Port, let alone all kinds of subsequent transactions.
Yiyin said.
"Miyoshi Shangluo, there has been great chaos in recent years, and many people cannot survive this disaster. The shipping side of Sakai Port should be able to re-plan its share.
As for the Hokuriku Province countries and Naoetsu, you should try your best to maintain a cooperative relationship with the local samurai. Sakai Port will redistribute the share of the goods transferred to you, and you can just let Hokuriku Province not suffer as usual.
You are also familiar with the connections there, and they are all acquaintances who are easy to work with.
Yang Nai, what do you think?"
Don't take advantage of the samurai families of various countries in Hokuriku. It's too sensitive. Once a dispute breaks out, it might lead to another war.
Those bastards of Echigo were used to eating alone, and if they took advantage of them, they might cause trouble again. Yoshigami Shiba didn't want to cause trouble to Teru Uesugi, and he would have to wipe her buttocks himself later.
But this place has been in chaos recently, so we might as well take the opportunity to rectify it and get some shipment share for Spozhong Fund.
Yoshigan's eyes turned to Takada Harano to see how much she could move out.
