Chapter 1578 Food stamps reverse repurchase and interest rate hike(1/2)
Sakai Port, the headquarters of the Shinsengumi.
Because Takada Yukino is weak and can only sit in a wheelchair every day, the yard where she lives was carefully prepared by Takada Harano.
Try not to use stairs, but use slopes instead to make it easier for my sister to enter and exit. In order to allow my sister to enjoy more facilities without leaving the hospital, many arrangements have been made in the hospital.
Today, Takada Yono and Imai Munehisa came to pay a visit.
In the small tea room in Yukino's courtyard, the tea master who had been invited by Yono at a high price showed off his talents, but Yukino was absent-minded and stared blankly at the porch of his room in the distance.
On the porch, little Yayoi had just changed a basin of water and was working hard on the floor to wipe it.
When the tea man presented the tea, Yangno waved her away and said to Yukino.
"I'm really impressed by you. What's so interesting about a kid cleaning the floor? You can actually stare at him for a long time.
I paid a lot of money to invite this tea master. Although he is not as skilled as Akai Zongjiu, he is still a rare and elegant person.
You can give people a little face and a little appreciation."
Yukino glanced at Yangno and said calmly.
"It looks good to mop the floor. I was very good at mopping the floor back then."
Yangno rolled his eyes.
"You're so good at it. You were always clumsy at that time, and you would spill the water every time, seeping into the wooden boards and causing mold. I don't know how many times I got beaten by the steward in order to help you take the blame.
If you hadn't been kind since you were a child, and the floor was not wiped clean that time, causing you to slip and get injured, it would have been enough for you and me to be beaten to death."
Yukino ignored Yangno's complaints and showed an inexplicable smile.
She looked at little Yayoi kneeling there and working hard, and thought of Tachibana Kanade taking her place, kneeling on Junshang's crotch and working hard, so she was naturally in a good mood. But she couldn't say this to her sister, as she would be jealous.
Yangno didn't feel that Yukino was perfunctory at all, and Imai Munehisa on the side joked.
"The two adults are blessed with great fortune. They grew up around saints and are the envy of others."
Yang Na nodded and smiled.
"Yes, now it's time to change your name to a saint."
As the miracles on the Yuwu Lake battlefield were deliberately guided and spread, more and more people called Shiba Yoshigan a saint, which means they recognized his Bishamonten divinity.
The concept of a living god walking around the world has slowly penetrated into the thinking of the world, and the people who changed their minds the fastest are businessmen and nuns.
On this point, Takada Haruno is not even as calm as Akai Muneku, and he can change things as soon as he wants. He really knows how to follow the trend of the times and has a smooth temperament.
Imai Sojiu asked with a smile.
"I heard that the saint is coming to Sakai Port for a parade?"
Takada Yono glanced at her and said.
"It is true that the saint traveled lightly and simply, and did not alarm the local martial arts family.
Don't talk too much outside, lest someone take the opportunity to flatter you and make the saint unhappy."
Imai Munehisa bowed and said.
"My subordinates understand and dare not talk nonsense outside.
It's just that the saint's trip was a bit urgent. I heard that diplomats from the Shiba Oda family were negotiating at Fushimi Castle to discuss boundaries and distribution of ownership.
At this important juncture, His Majesty Oda is waiting patiently at Azuchi Castle, but the saint wants to leave Kyoto and come to Sakai Port, which is very strange."
Takata Yono scoffed.
"Isn't it strange? Saints also have saintly worries. I came to Sakai Port for the purpose of receiving rewards after the war."
Imai Munehisa was shocked.
"Want money?"
When she just blurted out, she noticed that Xueno's eyes glanced at her coldly, and her heart suddenly trembled. She knew that her words were a bit arrogant to Meng Lang, so she quickly kowtowed to the ground.
"My subordinate is guilty of using disrespectful words."
Yang Nai sighed to Xue Nai.
"How come you, a weakling, are more powerful than me?
Imai Munehisa is the Shiba family's most capable business person in Sakai Port. He is of high status and status, but he can be frightened to the ground by just one look from you."
Harano seems to be complaining, but in fact he is helping Imai Munehisa out of trouble and begging Yukino for mercy.
Even though Yangno was picky about Yukino all day long, she was actually frightened by this arbitrary and moody sister.
Yukino's Mikazuki Munechika was handed over to Tachibana Kanou, but the favor of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Shiba Yoshigan belonged to her.
He acted arbitrarily and acted arbitrarily, beheading first and then telling the story, and killing when he was told to kill. Looking at the entire Shiba family, it was Yukino, a semi-invalid person with privileges, who had the most murderous intention and carried his crimes with him.
Imai Munehisa was born as a merchant. No matter how high he climbed, how could he not be afraid?
Yukino glanced at Imai Munehisa, remembering that she was still useful to Shiba Yoshigan, and stopped pursuing it.
"never mind."
Imai Sohisa breathed a sigh of relief, and Yangno explained to her again.
"In troubled times, money is needed to fight a war, and even more money is needed to end the war. Money and food are being thrown around like water, and even gold and silver are not enough.
Even if a saint is a god descending to earth, he still has to spend money to come to this human world. Is there anything strange about it?"
Imai Munehisa smiled bitterly.
"But, Master Yangno, you didn't just help the saint raise two million dan for military expenses in the spring, and now you have to raise money again, isn't it too exaggerated?"
Takada Yono shook his head and said.
“If you don’t have a family, you don’t know how valuable firewood and rice are; if you don’t raise children, you don’t know the kindness of your parents.
Yukino, don't look at me. I'm not saying that saints spend money indiscriminately. I'm scolding those bastards in the military for being extravagant and extravagant.
The military is a gold-eating beast. As long as you dare to pay for military expenses, the military will dare to spend it. No matter how much the budget is, it can be spent completely for you, and you can't make any mistakes.
But who dares to talk too much and settle accounts with those impetuous military wives who lick blood from their swords? These are troubled times, and the army is the guarantee of the family business. How can we save rewards?
As long as the army is willing to work hard to fight, even a saint can turn a blind eye or close an eye. How can he still chip away at his own foundation?"
After listening to Yangono's words, Yukino remained silent, and Imai Munehisa couldn't help but sigh.
"We just collected two million koku in the beginning of spring, and now it's all spent. The saint is coming to Sakai Port soon, where can we get more money and food for the saint?
One hundred thousand people were mobilized in the spring and summer, with tens of thousands of casualties and casualties. According to your statement, I am afraid that a little money and food will not be able to send these heroes away."
Takada Yono subconsciously rubbed his temples and said.
"Your Majesty sent me a letter before you set out, in which you revealed some details.
For this reward, all the coalition forces voluntarily gave up their land and knowledge, and sang praises to the saint's miracles. The saint was very pleased, and naturally wanted to reward him greatly.
If there is no land, the money and food will be doubled. The mountains call for saints, and everyone will receive red envelopes.
Imai-hime, please be prepared. Without two million koku this time, we will not be able to pass the test."
Imai Sojiu said with a bitter face.
"Sir, it's not like you don't know the situation in the account. Two million dan, even if you kill me immediately and confiscate my home, I can't come up with it."
Yukino didn't care about Imai Soku's death. She only cared about Shiba Yoshigan's current predicament and asked.
"Sister, is there any way to help the saint?"
Takada Yono smiled proudly.
"Of course there is."
Yangno specially talked about this matter in front of Yukino today, because she needed Yukino's strength for something.
Although Imai Munehisa did not have a relationship with Yono in advance, she was very clear-minded and naturally understood the purpose of Yono's trip, so she cooperated with Yono in a tacit understanding and sang the double act in front of Yukino.
At this moment, Yukino couldn't help but ask, and she had already fallen into Yangono's calculation.
Yukino may not understand this double act, but she doesn't care. As long as it is beneficial to Yoshihiro Shiba, she will be used.
Yangono looked like she had the pearl of wisdom in her hand, waiting for Yukino to ask her, but Yukino looked at Imai Munehisa and asked.
"Is it bad?"
Imai Munehisa glanced at the unhappy Yono, didn't dare not answer, and said cautiously.
"Very bad.
Originally, due to the stock issuance of the Hokurikudo Trading Road and the successful auction of two phases of Saba Real Estate, the value of Saba food stamps once reached 1:4.
In other words, a Sibo food stamp worth one stone can be exchanged for four stones of brown rice."
Yukino was surprised and asked.
"It is not good?"
Imai Muneji sighed.
“Because Shanglu Stock and Spo Real Estate only accept Spo food stamps for purchase, the face value of Spo food stamps has also increased in order to enter the market.
