February 18th, 56th year of the Konoha calendar, evening, Shogun Mansion.
The lights in the mansion were still bright, but it looked deserted, which was in sharp contrast to the lively celebrations in the city for Kikuchi's loyal succession to the daimyo.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi sat on the roof of the house next to each other, looking at the bustling city streets in the distance outside the General's Mansion, and watching the rising fireworks.
"I wonder if there are fireworks on the mainland."
"It should be there. We can release it ourselves when the time comes."
"Okay, brother."
"Mei Daizi."
"Um?"
"Do you regret it?"
"What do you regret, brother?"
"Not a good name."
"I don't regret it, I don't like it anyway."
"Okay, if you don't like it, then don't do it."...
The next morning, the port of Inano outside the capital city of Inada.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi boarded the ship to the mainland in the sedan chair. There were many people seeing them off, headed by the new Daimyo Kikuchi, all the elders, senior Ninja Army officials, and many people. How many of these people were there?
It's polite and only they know it.
The ship slowly left the port. Yamazaki and Meidaizi walked to the deck and watched the place where they grew up gradually move away. For a moment, they felt an indescribable feeling.
"This is how farewell is." Takayama Tomoya said, "I just hope that your two highnesses will not think that Ina Country and we have abandoned you."
Yamazaki said: "Your Highness, please stop talking. From today on, Mei Daizi and I are just ordinary people."
"Anyway, it looks like abandonment." Mei Daizi smiled, "Whether it's true or not, we'll talk about it later."
"Yes, only time will tell." Yamazaki said.
"Your Highnesses, no, you are right, I will let time admit it." Gao Shanzhiya said with some seriousness.
"Teacher, don't carry this burden on your back. You may be able to do it yourself, but others," Yamazaki said, "people's hearts are fickle. This is what you taught us."
"Yeah, I'll talk about it when the time comes." Mei Daizi said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Takayama Tomoya changed the subject, "Now let me talk about your life so that you don't have to eat takeout every day."
"The hard currency on the mainland is gold coins. All official standards in mainland China are that a 50-gram gold coin is worth fifty standard silver dings, and its value is the same standard copper coin, which is one thousand standard copper coins."
"A standard copper coin can be exchanged for one tael of banknotes in each country. That is, a small gold coin is worth one thousand taels in any country."
"But if you really want to exchange it like this, you will only be regarded as a fool, because no one is minting standard coins anymore. All they are minting are non-standard coins, and there are even fake and inferior coins made by private individuals."
"Nowadays, all countries use banknotes in each country. The number of banknotes in circulation and the number of issuances in each country leads to purchasing power, that is, the value of banknotes is very different."
Mei Daizi sighed: "Teacher, I didn't understand it at all."
Takayama Tomoya said: "So when you have a small amount of money, the best way is to bid for jewelry on sale in various countries and let people buy it."
"A high-quality black pearl can usually be exchanged for one hundred thousand taels in the Land of Fire, and a necklace composed of ten high-quality black pearls can be sold for three million taels. If a high-quality colored pearl is added,
, it can be sold for five million taels, and if you add a luminous pearl, it can be sold for more than ten million taels."
Mei Daizi asked: "I have a question, what can those people do with 300 million taels?"
Takayama Tomoya said: "The capitals of the five major countries are similar to those of the Ina Country, and their consumption levels are similar."
"Take the capital of the Country of Fire as an example. It costs about 1 million taels to buy an ordinary one-family building, and the salary of an ordinary worker with food and accommodation included is about 10,000 taels."
"The standard of eating is: breakfast is 100 taels, rice, one meat, one vegetarian, two side dishes and a bowl of miso soup, lunch is 100 taels, three large rice balls, dinner is 200 taels, a pot
Liquor with two meat and two vegetables, four side dishes to accompany the wine, rice and miso soup."
"Three hundred million taels may seem like you can only buy 300 houses, but ordinary people and people who employ ordinary people have to save for a long time."
"With a one-time investment of 300 million taels, it is enough to build 300,000 houses. If it is only made of wood, it will be even more. From material mining to construction, etc., this is enough to give millions of people a few months of work.
Jobs, and the chain reaction generated by this, can put several times or even dozens of times more people into jobs, which is enough for a small country."
Yamazaki asked: "The teacher said this because he found their traces from the economic aspect?"
Takayama Chiya said: "There are some clues, but I can't confirm it yet, so I won't talk about it for now."
"Okay," Mei Daizi asked, "is ten million taels enough for our life?"
Takayama Tomoya said: "It's enough for ordinary people, but it's not enough for you. Your ten million taels are the money to open an account with the official Liangdaiwu, so that you can become a senior customer of the official Liangdaiwu."
"Then, you should store all the jewelry you have in the official replacement house. Otherwise, it would be a shame if it gets broken in the battle."
"Then, you pledge some jewelry to them in exchange for money. A total of 100 million taels is almost enough."
"Next, purchase an officially recognized businessman's slave and let him purchase the assets you need through the official replacement house."
"For criminals who have no labor, the official view is that it is better to sell them to people in need than to let them stay in prison and do hard labor."
"As for the assets purchased through the official replacement house, there is no way to realize them without your intervention. In this way, as long as you don't give him a large amount of cash, the businessman's criminal slave will not run away with the money because he does not have enough to live and evade the official bounty.
"
Mei Daizi asked: "Then what industry do we need?"
"Medicine, food, tools, and medical treatment." Takayama Tomoya said, "All of these must be available."
Yamazaki smiled and said: "Indeed, Mei Daizi's beef is a problem."
"The consumption of ninja tools is also a problem. You will understand it during the battle." Takayama Tomoya said, "Also, you must persist in the medicinal bath. Xuekaku said that Meidaizi has been able to prepare it."
"That's right." Mei Daizi said with a proud smile.
"This is the best. As for whether and how to make adjustments in the future," Takayama Tomoya said with a smile, "You can figure it out yourself in the future. I believe you can do it."
"As for your property, the south outside the Konoha Forest is Konoha Forest South County. If you buy a piece of land with mountains and forests there, it is best to have a small iron mine."
"Then build a farm and pasture, a medicinal material base, a blacksmith shop, medicinal materials, food, tolerance tools, etc. If you can do it yourself, you can do it yourself, and if you can't do it, buy it and hoard it."
“That’s about it.”…
In mid-March, the City of Fire, the capital of the Kingdom of Fire.
Takayama Tomoya went to pay his respects to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, while Yamazaki and Meidaizi went to the market.
Feeling the prosperity of Yusheng Ina City, Yamazaki and Meidaizi entered the bidding house.
"Young Master, Miss, which family do you two belong to?"
"We are from the land of rice, and we want to sell a black pearl necklace with colorful beads and luminous pearls."
"Okay, little lady, no problem."
If it was from the Country of Fire, I would definitely not dare to make this deal, for fear that the adults would come to trouble me, but it was different with the Country of Rice, they were absolute fat sheep...
