Chapter 1737: Crossing the river and burning the bridge to become ruthless
Imai Munehisa didn't dare to get involved in the matter of the Shiba Goddess, but there were some things she had to mention.
"Sir, several waves of people have been sent over from Shishan, but you have always avoided seeing them.
The Master of Honganji Temple is said to be very angry, and someone has already told me that the Ichikō Sect may refuse to continue to cooperate with us.
I’m afraid there will be some twists and turns regarding the sale of shares by United’s major shareholders.”
Takada Yono sneered.
"Honganji seems to have bad intentions and wants to drag me into trouble. I have given enough face to her by not meeting her envoy. If she is shameless and insists on threatening me, let her do whatever she wants.
Major shareholders advance and retreat together to maximize profits, which is in the interest of everyone.
If the Ichigo clan wants to act arbitrarily, harming others but not benefiting oneself, and cutting off everyone's financial path, then yes, I would also like to see if Honganji Hirowa has the courage to do so."
Imai Muneji sighed.
"Master Xianru is also desperate.
As soon as spring began, Lord Shibata Katsuie of Echizen Province led the Oda army across the Daishoji River and launched a massive attack on Kaga Ichiku.
During the spring plowing season, it was always difficult to mobilize, so General Kaga Shichiri Norisu was defeated and forced to retreat to the Kanazawa Plain.
On the other hand, His Highness Oda sent Lord Tsuneki Ikeda to return to Settsu Country.
In the name of committing rebellion, Araki Murashige was deprived of her authority to protect Settsu, and she was charged with the crime of conquering the Ikeda family in Settsu as a retainer of Ikeda.
Although Tsuneki Ikeda was born in the Mino Ikeda family and was not related to the Ikeda family in Settsu, the power of the Oda family was at its peak and Araki Murashige was unpopular in Settsu because he killed innocent people indiscriminately.
Therefore, the Settsu samurai family all defected to Ikeda Tsuneaki, and Araki Murashige was already betrayed and separated from his relatives. He was besieged on all sides, and the Settsu Kingdom might change hands at any time.
If the Oda family takes Settsu, they will definitely take action against Ishiyama Honganji Temple in revenge for being forced to withdraw from Nishi Kinki.
Tsuneki Ikeda originally enjoyed customs tax revenue at Sakai Port and controlled the affairs of the Retsu government. However, his good life was shattered by Araki Murashige and Kenjosho. He fled in embarrassment. You can imagine the resentment in his heart.
It is understandable that Master Ru is worried and uneasy."
Takada Yono chuckled.
"She is justifiable to be scared. Do I deserve to be unlucky and have to be coerced by her?
The Shiba and Oda families fought a grand battle that mobilized 200,000 people. No one could do anything to the other, so they came to a strategic agreement to join forces.
The Oda family and the Ichigo clan were at odds with each other, and the sage chose the Oda family between the two. Can I disobey such a grand strategy?
Honganji Xianru wants to drag me into the water, and his thoughts are evil and his heart can be punished. I have already given face to her by not breaking up with her immediately. If she doesn't know what is good and what is bad, haha..."
The main reason for Takada Yono's indifference to the Ichiko sect is that the situation has changed. The mature Hokuriku Road trade route no longer requires the maintenance of the Ichiko sect.
Back then, the Hokuriku Road trade route had just been established. Without a group of evil wizards like the Ichigo clan armed with swords and guns to physically subjugate people, it would have been really uneventful along the way.
Therefore, Takada Yono would give a large amount of benefits to Xian Rushang in order to gain the support of Yixiang Zong and ensure the stable operation of the trade route.
But now, the world admires the power of the saint, and all the forces along the Hokuriku Road have been integrated into the trade route interest groups. You have me among you, and you have among me.
Everyone eats at the same table, and there is no reason to ruin their own jobs. The role of Xiang Zong in protecting the trade routes is no longer there.
On the other hand, the Oda family has risen and is annihilating the power of the Ichichi sect. The strongholds of the Ichichi sect that once occupied the Hokuriku Road are being uprooted and replaced by the Oda family.
The cake is only so big, and if a big guy like the Oda family wants to enter the market, someone has to cough up a share.
The utilization value of Yixiang Zong has declined, but the share it occupies is very large. If the share is not taken from Yixiang Zong, should the Si Bo family pay for it themselves?
Besides, the Tokaido trade route will be reopened sooner or later, and Takada Yono is still thinking about deepening cooperation with the Oda family.
The Oda family guarded the two countries of Ise and Owari on the west side of the Tokaido, and their allies, the Tokugawa family, occupied the two countries of Mikawa and Toe. Without the cooperation of the Oda family, the Tokaido trade route could not be opened.
In order to complete the sage's mission of reopening the Tokaido trade route, Takada Yono must work closely with the Oda family. Naturally, Ichimura, an outdated ally, must be alienated and abandoned.
The Oda family will replace the Ichigo clan and become Takada Yono's most important partner on the business road. One can imagine Takada Yono's tendency between the Oda family and the Ichiko clan.
Honganji Mianru was not clear-headed and had not seen clearly the evil nature of Takada Yono's profit-seeking nature. He thought that Ichizune had the trump card of the Hokurikudo trade route and Takada Yono must help.
But in fact, Takada Yono was not worried at all about Yixiang Zong's daring to defeat the enemy to the death.
The lower class of the Ichikō sect may be composed of poor people with firm beliefs and no fear of death, but the upper class of Honganji Temple has long been hereditary religious dignitaries through blood inheritance of ten generations of Buddhist kings.
This group of hereditary aristocratic nuns are worse than high-level martial arts families. The famous martial arts families in troubled times are all bitter. If they don't kill someone every day, they will be killed by others. But which of the great nuns who have been pampered and pampered for generations is not afraid of death?
No matter how many of her followers die, the nun will not blink an eye, but if she hurts even a little bit of skin, she will scream.
Takada Yono was not afraid that Honganji Temple would appear desperate and he would take risks, despite the solemn and solemn appearance of the Dharma Master, who seemed ready to die for his religion at any time.
But as long as Oda Nobunaga has an overwhelming advantage and makes her feel that her life is threatened, she will definitely surrender.
Imai Munehisa said.
"The Oda family is powerful and the sect has always been in decline. It is indeed right that you don't want to be coerced by Master Xianru.
However, the stock price of Hokurikudo Trading is now in danger, and we still need to maintain the fluctuating decline for two years to prevent it from collapsing.
If the Honganji Temple wants to destroy everything and use the chips in their hands to destroy the market, we won't be able to hold on."
Takada Yono said coldly.
"Honganji Kenjo felt that he had this trump card, so he dared to force me to submit.
But she also didn't want to think about it. The strategic plan of the Sibo family was set by the saint. Can I easily change it?
The sage went to Kanto without waiting for the spring to start, and His Majesty Oda started the expedition as soon as the spring started. There was no gap in the tacit understanding between the two.
Honganji Mianru, does she really want to find me? She can't contact the saint! The saint doesn't want to know anything about the Ichiko sect at this time!
The grievances between the Oda family and the Ichijo clan must come to an end, and before the end, no saint is willing to come forward.
Master Xianru forced me to make the saint unhappy. Who is she? Why should I make the saint unhappy for her?
The fish is dead and the net is broken, haha, does Honganji Xianru have the courage?
Over the years, she has taken advantage of the benefits of the trade route. If she ruined the Hokuriku Road trade route, we suffered serious losses, and she would also lose everything.
Stocks are traded using Spo's food stamps, and her money and accounts are all through Spo's bank. If she really wants to overturn the situation, she won't get anything.
We all had a good time together, and I gave her a lot of what she deserved.
If she wants to smash the market and cause everyone to lose money, then even if I freeze her funds, the major shareholders will support my revenge.
Also, it’s not like Honganji Temple was opened by one person. How many nuns and generals are holding my benefits in the lower part of the stone mountain and in the seven miles of Kaga?
If Honganji Xianru really wants to destroy the market, can the generals and nuns under her agree?
Oda Nobunaga was determined to conquer the Ichikai clan, but the decline of the Ichikai clan was right in front of him.
Ichizong was defeated, and the stocks they held in the Hokurikudo Trading Route, the real estate owned by Shiba, and the food stamps stored at Shiba Bank were all the capital they needed to live and work in the future.
If she insists on going her own way and smashing everyone's coffins, she is not afraid of being stabbed in the back and will die early and return to the west?"
Imai Munehisa smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing.
Takada Yono has been operating in Sakai Port for six years and has long since weaved a tight network of interests that cannot be penetrated by needles or water.
Despite the fact that Master Xianru of Ishiyama Honganji Temple has boundless magic power and countless followers, she is not satisfied with the benefits of real money and silver.
The middle and lower class believers are fanatical, but the real upper class elites cannot be coerced by faith, and interests always come first.
The current interests seem to be invisible to the master herself, so how could the generals and nuns under her command be able to? Touching interests is often more difficult than touching the soul.
Over the years, Takada Haruno has given enough benefits, and the whole family has made enough money, but the wealth they have accumulated is all stored in the financial system of Spo's food stamps.
The money earned on the Hokurikudo Trading Road was all divided into Suba food stamps. The real money earned by Sba was Sbo spend, and you couldn't even take a penny home.
It’s better to use Sibo food stamps to buy stocks, buy real estate, and deposit money in a bank than to take gold, silver, and copper coins home and bury them in the ground to get moldy, right? Not only do you not have to worry about being stolen or robbed, but you can also earn a little more interest.
But if one day, Xiangzong and the Sibo family fall out, these once conveniences and benefits will immediately turn into a financial rope to hang themselves.
If money cannot be taken out, can it still be regarded as money? It is a hostage and a handle!
The more Imai Munehisa thought about it, the more he felt sad for Master Mianjo. Although he was specialized in his profession, this religious leader was just an insignificant person financially.
If the Reverend Master Xian and Takada Haruno were talking about the theory of rebirth and the Amitabha Sutra, Takada Haruno would definitely be confused.
But if the two of them compete against each other in the shopping mall, Master Xianru will definitely lose and have his crotch and pants pawned off, which is exactly the case now.
It seems that if the master still wanted to retain his dignity and keep his crotchless pants, he would not dare to fall out with Takada Haruno, so he had to endure this tone.
Takada Yono's financial system with Spo's food stamps as its core is, to put it bluntly, an open robbery, turning your money into my money in a reasonable and reasonable manner.
The reason why she feels confident is actually because her background is tough enough.
Sibo Yiyin is invincible in the world and has the strongest fist, so the financial system of Sibo Food Stamps is the safest, most reliable and most domineering.
Without absolute force to protect him, Takada Haruno wouldn't dare to do something so extreme.
Back then, in order to build the Hokurikudo trade route, she licked her face to please Master Xianru and offered various benefits.
Now, the power of the Ichiki clan is no longer strong, and the Shiba family has become stronger in force. Takada Yono immediately changed his face, kicked the Ichiki clan away, and prepared to go and play with the equally powerful Oda family.
This is the essence of finance. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is not about the brain, but the fist, and the background. If the fist is not strong enough, you will not be able to steal other people's money, but you will also be unable to protect your own money.
Imai Munejiu thought for a while and sighed.
"As long as Master Xianru doesn't dare to do anything behind our backs, at least we don't have to worry about Yi Xiangzong's chips being ruined.
I wonder how long Murashige Araki can hold on? When will His Highness Oda plan to attack Ishiyama?
I hope this war will not be too fierce, otherwise it will affect the operation of the Hokuriku Road trade route and the stock price will be greatly affected."
