A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Hosokawa Harugong remained calm on the surface and didn't say a word. When she spoke, she offered an angel investment of 1,000 yuan and directly bought one-third of the shares.

At this moment, all the samurai and retainers present have realized. You guys are still hesitating, but they have already taken action in advance. Ginger is still too spicy, so I have to take it.

So all the retainers who participated in Xiaoping Taimu Wax's fund-raising last time did not even want the fig leaf of their wives' private money, and they all bowed their heads and knelt down: "Your Highness!~~~"

Even if Yamauchi Yoshiharu takes half of Moshi's annual income of seven to eight thousand kiwan, the remaining dozen or so big guys involved range from a hundred to nearly a thousand kiwan, and the one who takes the cash will be soft-handed. In this era, samurai were not shy about talking about money. There are many records of famous samurai expressing their views on money.

Mr. Asakura Sodi said that money should be spent on the tip of the knife. If I have a hundred swords, I will not buy famous swords. I would rather buy a hundred spears and arm a hundred soldiers.

Everyone is thinking about raising money to expand armaments. Otherwise, why Oda Nobunaga attaches so much importance to the Tsushima people is not because of the huge wealth provided by Tsushima. With this wealth, he was able to conquer the east and west with half an Owari, and repeatedly raised troops.

"Isn't it difficult for you, Koheita, to raise the funds for Kasaki Lacquer alone?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu finally spoke.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu said it sincerely, and Koheta heard it with sadness. Hundreds of famous samurai at the top of Japanese society were struggling here to think of ways for a small amount of tens of thousands of guan. Japan's country is small and the people are poor, and it is obvious that the people are weak.

No wonder when I went to North Korea later, it was like a world of flowers, and I wanted to go crazy. When Yuan Shikai was guarding North Korea, he once calculated that North Korea's total annual income was about five million taels of silver, which was already miserable. But to tell an even worse fact, North Korea exports more than 10,000 kilograms of Korean ginseng every year, and each kilogram sells for 90 taels to 200 taels of silver. The annual export volume of Korean ginseng alone accounts for more than one-third of the total annual income of the entire North Korean dynasty.

Their big business groups control more wealth than the national treasury. Now everyone can understand that Korean conglomerates are very worried. People have this tradition, and it didn’t happen overnight.

We think North Korea is already very poor, but in fact Japan is even poorer. A certain consortium that shocked Osaka's business community by stomping its feet was directly dismembered by the US military after World War II. During the Edo period, a certain large merchant house was already known as "Someone in Osaka was angry, and all the princes in the world were shocked." After the death of the big boss, how much money was on the books?

I won't be afraid of everyone laughing if I tell it, and I will collect a total of 70,000 taels of silver. Of course, his fixed assets are three to five times more, but with this little money, he is already a leading figure in the Japanese business community.

Now it is not difficult for everyone to understand the heroic spirit of Sakai Town, Izumi Province, which is known as the largest cosmopolitan city in the world and has a population of 100,000, when it presented 20,000 yuan to Oda Nobunaga.

"Heita-chan, let me make the decision for you. Let's count ten shares of kaki lacquer, one share is a thousand sen, and you and Zaemon will add one share. In this way, your family will have three shares, and Harugong and I will each have one share. , let’s help you get the remaining five pieces together. Let’s get this thing done as soon as possible, okay?” Yamauchi Yoshiharu followed suit.

What else can Xiao Pingtai do? She is really poor. No matter how fast money comes, it leaves just as fast. Moreover, a powerful businessman in any prefecture or county in China can make an investment of only 10,000 yuan. But in Japan, a powerful and famous person with a fortune of 600,000 koku is needed, and all the middle and high-level samurai in the territory can be mobilized, and everyone can try to raise it by exhausting their savings.

"Everything depends on the Lord's orders!" Xiao Pingtai did not expect that the investment would be so large. Now he is riding a tiger and has to do something.

At this time, all the samurai here became active. Anyway, the Yamauchi clan gradually implemented the centralized housing of retainers, and everyone's homes were actually under the castle in the palace. My wife, children, and property all live in the city. It is very convenient to get money. I just need to tell the number and I can go home and get the money immediately.

Soon, Yamauchi Yoshiharu discussed with several members of the Yamauchi clan. Imagawa Yoshichichi was the worst off, having no money. On the surface, he has tens of thousands of territories under his control in Suruga Shita County and Toe Makino, but he still has to rely on his father to make up the money to maintain the annual tribute collection after autumn.

The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, and the inheritance belongs to the eldest son. The younger son has finally managed to occupy a little territory, so he can't be treated too badly. Yamauchi Yoshiharu took the initiative and gave 500 kusen for Imagawa Yoshiuchi, and he also gave 500 kusen for Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. The chief accountant in the mountain is a member of the imperial family, and a group of relatives and relatives. The uncle and cousin also agreed to give a thousand guan.

Here, Hosokawa Harugong has finished her statement. The members of the royal family are all samurai for generations. Besides, they have already made money from the wax business last time. They all raised their hands in favor this time. The distribution plan was approved in a few words, and 1,500 yuan was immediately collected. For them, it is not difficult for a family to come up with two or three hundred guan, and a hundred guan is just a piece of cake.

Finally, there are the middle-level warriors of the banner clan and the genealogy clan. Their salaries are generally not large, and most of them are concentrated in one or two hundred guans. Almost none of them has knowledge and practice. They all live on dead wages. Apart from killing people on the battlefield and receiving rewards for meritorious service, there are almost no ways to make money.

So even though this group has the largest number of people, nearly fifty or sixty people, they will only be able to collect 1,500 strings.

But now it's better. After a few years, Xiao Pingtai's business was completed. In the future, you will be able to earn dozens of dollars more a year, which will be of great benefit to your family.

Then Hosokawa Harugong flew into the air, and wrote down the names of nearly a hundred samurai who contributed money on a piece of thick and tough mulberry paper, and also wrote down the amount of each person's investment. Finally, there is a note about sharing risks and equitably distributing profits.

Everyone came up one by one in order to sign and put their thumbprints, just like the Heaven and Earth Society cutting off chicken heads, burning yellow paper, and making alliances with blood.

After signing, the entourage who had been chatting and bragging at the gate of the city was suddenly summoned into the city. A beautiful scene appeared in the entire mountain. Servants and young men from each family carried wooden boxes, carried baskets on their backs, and even drove animals. Teams of hundreds or thousands of people entered the city carrying property worth thousands of guanwen.

The townspeople below the city were confused. All the samurai of the Yamauchi clan were kidnapped with meat tickets? Going to the city collectively to pay money to redeem people? At this time, if a group of strongmen came to block the road and robbed money along the street, they could rob just a few houses and it would be enough to last them a lifetime.

To be honest, it is common for everyone to see one or two hundred pieces of property. After all, there are no low-level warriors here. It is common to see one or two thousand guan of property as rewards during wars, but the situation of seven thousand guan of gold, silver and copper coins piled in the corridor is not much different from a mountain of money.

Everyone now has an expression like, "We have given you all the coffins in the mountain, you can't joke with us."

Xiao Pingtai suddenly felt that this thing was like illegal fund-raising, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to pee, which made him tremble three times.

Illegal fund-raising, starting from five years, no period at most!

It seems that the automatic release time is wrong
