"It's not hard to blame them for this. It's because I was too impatient and wanted to quickly use profits to bind the retainers for my own use.
Even though I know that most martial arts families are short-sighted and greedy, I still want to take a big step forward, but that's not a stretch... Sigh... I made a mistake in going too far.
However, this is also good.
The benefits of the Shiba Zhong Fund bound the Shiba family retainers together. The Shiba Ji warriors scattered in various places had the same annuity and the same thoughts.
From now on, the Shiba family belongs to me, and also belongs to all the Hime warriors in Shiba's organization. They are nervous, and they are interested, which is actually a good thing."
Kamouso clan nodded in agreement.
The annuity has only been paid out for two installments, but it has already made the entire Shiba family's warriors feel restless.
Once everyone gets used to this hardcore crop, if outsiders want to destroy the good things of the Sibo family, wouldn't they pick up a knife and fight with them?
Maybe after many years, new changes will occur in the world, new problems will arise, and new reforms will be needed.
But now, the welfare system established by Yoshigan is just like the royal favor of the Kamakura Shogunate. It is tied to the interests of the retainers and has reached a close and credible contract between the king and his ministers.
This generation of Shiba Ji warriors who have experienced poverty and hardship in troubled times will wholeheartedly protect their hard-core crops and fight to the death against foreign enemies who want to invade the Shiba family.
But now, Yiyin's trouble is that the promise has been shouted out, and everyone is rushing to beg for food, but the table has not been laid yet.
As he said himself, the steps he took were too big, and it was ridiculous.
In recent days, the three little wives of Owari, Kanto, and Sanfang Shiba, who have been frustrated by both sides, cannot suppress their subordinates, so they can only complain to Yoshihiro.
What should Yiyin do? Who else can he turn to to complain? He, the leader who seems to keep his word and has all the power, is the one who suffers the most. Others can hide, but he has to solve the problem.
Just as Yoshigan frowned and thought hard, Ii Naomasa on the side suddenly spoke.
"My lord, the total Sibo Territory from all over the country is only over 200,000 dan, and the largest Sibo Territory recently has been arranged. It is really unreasonable for the Sibo Zhong Fund to push back and forth at this time.
There are always problems with the accounts sent over there, and there are also some unclear words in Mr. Ishida Mitsunari’s letter. I beg you to allow me to return to Koto to check the accounts of the Shibachu Fund."
Yiyin narrowed his eyes and asked.
"You mean that Spozhong Fund actually has the money to solve the problem of annuity expansion?"
In recent years, the Shiba collar has requested that the annuity amount be increased to six stone, and Owari and Kanto Shiba collar have requested that the four-stone benefit be added to the current annuity.
Ishida Mitsunari wrote in a letter saying that the development time of Shibachu Fund is too short and it is temporarily unable to provide so many annuities and cannot meet the requirements of both parties at the same time.
Bank of America has been worrying about how to balance the differences between the various regions and come up with a compromise plan.
But Naomasa Ii, as the supervisor, gave Yi Bank a reminder, that is, check the accounts first to see if the Shibachu Fund has any money?
As long as you find enough money and food to meet the requirements of the three places, the issue of annuity distribution will no longer be a problem.
Ii Naomasa said solemnly.
"Tsuda-dono, don't you think Ishida Mitsunari's letter is strange? Doesn't she seem like someone who repeatedly emphasizes the difficulty of work and leaves the trouble to you?
You know, she has always hoped to make achievements and achieve herself through the Spozhong Fund.
If you give her the opportunity, she will definitely cherish it. Even if there are difficulties, she should think of some countermeasures and write them in the letter for your reference."
Yiyin nodded.
"When you say that, there is indeed something wrong."
Naomasa Ii clicked on his desk documents and said.
"I have here the annual report of the Hokuriku Dou Trading Road sent by Mr. Takada Haruno. The Hokuriku Dou Trading Road has been developing for three years and has achieved remarkable results.
The market for the entire trade route had an initial development period of 300,000 guan in the first year, and a development period of 1 million guan last year. It has continued to grow this year and has reached a volume of 2 million guan.
Nowadays, it is not only Sakai Port that is transporting goods to Kanto. Due to the war on the Tokaido trade route, specialties from the Kanto region have also begun to be transported to Kokomo via the Hokuriku Road trade route.
Mr. Takada Yono predicts that when the entire Hokuriku Road trade route matures, the market volume will reach 5 million, becoming the main logistics channel for Kanto and Kansai.
Although the Shiba Chu Fund was established not long ago, as the core interest of the Shiba family, Mr. Takada Haruno has been doing his best to help Shiba Chu Fund expand the market.
Other merchants were powerless and did not dare to compete with Shibachu Fund, for fear of offending my family and being kicked out of the Hokuriku Dou trading route.
Just considering the long-term interests of mutual benefit, Spozhong Fund controls its own pace and only participates in the most profitable part of the transaction, leaving room for other businesses.
According to Mr. Takada Haruno's annual report, Shibachu Fund now accounts for 10 to 15% of the Hokuriku Road trade, a market share of approximately 200,000 to 300,000 guan.
Sibo Zhong Fund has always been engaged in the most profitable businesses, such as sandalwood and silk. The gross profit can reach 70%. This year's income is about 150,000 to 200,000 yuan.
Next year, the Hokuriku Road trade route is still in a period of rapid development, and Mr. Takada Yono's expectation is that the market volume will reach 3 million to 3.5 million guan.
The market share occupied by Shibachu Fund is expected to expand to 20% in Ishida Mitsunari's annual report.
20% of three million guan, which is 600,000 guan. Even if the gross profit dropped to about 50% due to excessive expansion, the actual income is still more than 300,000 guan.
In recent times, Shiba received 200,000 koku, and the Shiba family had about a thousand concubine warriors.
In addition, there are Shiba leaders from Owari and Kanto, as well as directly affiliated organizations such as Doshinzu, Shogyozhu, Mesuke, and Ninzu.
The total number of Neihime warriors in the Shiba family, which has not yet been expanded, is currently less than 1,500. Even if the annual pension is increased to six dan of brown rice, the total annuity will not exceed 10,000 dan.
Even if Sibo Zhong Fund considers the future and leaves most of its funds for development and turnover, can't it be able to use this 10,000 shi of brown rice?
There is a huge gap between the annual reports of Mr. Takada Haruno and Mr. Ishida Mitsunari, the accounts submitted by the Shibachu Foundation, and the letter of complaint.
Therefore, I sincerely ask Jindo-den to allow me to return to Kondo to investigate the issues surrounding the Shibachu Fund."
Yoshihiro didn't think about this at first, but what Ii Naomasa said was reasonable and well-founded. Of course, he found that there was something fishy about it.
Whether it is Ishida Mitsunari's attitude or the actual operation of the Shibachu Fund, it is very strange. It is as if the money earned by the Shibachu Fund is all fake money, which can be seen but cannot be used.
Ten thousand shi of brown rice, according to the current influence of the Shiba family, can buy enough cheap grain from the friendly and cooperative military daimyo, which is the usual friendly price of two shi.
Even if we take into account the future expansion of the Sibo family's establishment and the excessive number of people eating the hard-core crops, we need to be vigilant and restrained in the current income and expenditure situation, but there is still a gap of several thousand guan, right?
Yoshigan glanced at Naomasa Ii, who had a serious face. He was still a half-year-old child. At this time, he looked like a serious little adult, which made him feel a little funny.
After just one glance, Yoshigan decided not to let Naomasa Ii go back. The kid was too young, too straight-minded, and had enough IQ, but he could easily be used as a weapon.
Yiyin was reminded by her and realized the blind spot in his thinking. Perhaps the key to solving the problem lies not in balancing the distribution of interests among the three places of Spozhong, but in the Spozhong Fund itself.
In just one year, the Sibo Zhong Foundation grew from scratch and became the most important welfare institution of the Sibo family.
Ishida Mitsunari was born in the Omi Kingdom and made his fortune in Kanto, so he had no deterrent power against the Shiba retainers in Konge.
Yiyin brought her back to Koji last winter, originally planning to use her as a backup for Takada Haruno. As a result, the Shiba Tadashi Foundation was established, and she was entrusted with a key role.
Ishida Mitsunari's foundation in recent years is shallow and he lacks close confidants. The manpower of Shibachu Fund is all drawn from recent Japanese companies, and it is a mixed bag.
Yiyin thought of the Wu family's usual lack of ethics, and suddenly felt a little pain in his heart. I'm afraid these participants were too selfish.
Ishida Mitsunari did not dare to say it out loud, lest he offend too many people and lose the Shiba Chu Fund, the ladder leading to rapid success.
This petition is a faint reminder that she may be partially sidelined and unable to fully handle the affairs of the Spozhong Fund.
As for the dilemma Ishida Mitsunari faces, the Shiba Town leader Takada Yono who cooperates with her work, and the recent Shiba acting official Nizi Katsuhisa, will the two of them know nothing?
One pretends not to know, and the other follows and complains. They all pretend to be confused and understand. They are both superb actors!
This is waiting for Yiyin to discover something is wrong, send people to check the accounts, and let Warrior Ji from the center act as this selfless villain!
Just because he saw this clearly, it was even more impossible for Yiyin to send Naomasa Ii back to do this offending job.
Ishida Mitsunari, Takada Haruno, Nizi Katsuhisa, and even Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Benefit, who seemed to have nothing to do with the matter, didn't know about it?
Haha, they are all masters of pretending to be confused!
Yoshigan suddenly felt that there was a fire in his heart, and he wished he could go back and slap them one by one. Nizi Katsuhisa could forget it, wait until Toroo Castle in Echigo Kingdom, and fuck Yamanaka Yukino again to vent his anger.
After working on it for a long time, the big trouble that Yiyin was looking at with a sad face was actually the scapegoat that everyone had thrown at him, waiting for Yiyin to send someone to clean it up!
Yiyin glanced at Ii Naomasa and felt that she was becoming more and more pleasing to his eyes, so he said softly.
"Don't go back.
Those guys these days, because they are sure that I will take care of them, they pretend to be good people and don't want to offend their colleagues.
Okay, everything is fine, then I will take good care of it and not let them down. If we don’t stop this evil trend, Spozhong Fund will never get better in the future.”
Naomasa Ii was stunned and asked.
"Jinduoden, who are you going to send back?
Among all the people working together, I am most familiar with the operation of Spozhong Fund and have been following up on their accounts. I am the most suitable candidate."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"The welfare system with the Sibo Zhong Fund as its core is the cornerstone of the Sibo family's future, and I don't allow anyone to mess with it.
This audit is not to find any actual evidence. What I want is a bloody deterrent to keep all greed away from the Spozhong Fund.
Each one of them blamed me, and they wanted me to send someone to take the blame. Since they don’t know the seriousness, I will let them understand the seriousness.”
Pu Shengshixiang frowned.
"Jinduoden, should I go back once?"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"As I said just now, it's not easy to be a lonely minister.
You are all good children, don't get yourselves involved in these messy things, and guard the Tongxin Secretariat well.
I will write to Sakai Port and ask Yukino to investigate this matter."
Pu Shengshixiang was stunned and said.
"Takada Yukino-sama has just recovered from a serious illness, but it is said that his health is not as good as before."
Yiyin nodded, looking sad.
“The doctor said that it was a great blessing to wake up, but he might not be able to hold a knife in the future.
However, there is Miburou... Oh, no, it should be called the Shinsengumi now. Isamu Kondo was promoted to the leader of the Shinsengumi just now, and he happened to be accompanying Yukino on errands."
Kamo clan thought thoughtfully and nodded slightly. The lord seemed really annoyed that he actually asked Minjo Wolf to do this.
Yuigahama Yui, the former leader of the Shinsengumi, was replaced by Yoshigan, and Isamu Kondo, who had made outstanding achievements in Kyoto, replaced her and became the leader of the Shinsengumi.
Yuigahama Yui and her men went to the Shiba Tadashi Foundation in despair, and followed Ishida Mitsunari for a living.
It seems that this soft-tempered Warrior Ji is still hopeless, and even if he changes places, he still can't suppress the ghosts and monsters at the Shiba Zhong Fund.
In comparison, Kondo Isamu and the Mibu wolves under her command are ruthless characters who do not care about their lives. After Tenchu, Mibu lang has proved his loyalty and obeys Yoshigin's orders.
These people respected Yukino as their spiritual leader, so Yoshigan asked Yukino to handle the errands. In fact, he asked the Shinsengumi to investigate. These swordsmen refused to recognize their relatives and licked blood with their swords. They were the lonely ministers Yoshigan needed.
Naomasa Ii has a close relationship with Yukino Takada and can't help but worry.
"Yukino can no longer use force. She is responsible for checking the Shiba Zhong Fund. If someone jumps over the wall to harm her, wouldn't she be in danger?"
Yoshigan and Kamao clan shook their heads at the same time, Yoshigan said confidently.
"impossible."
Takada Yukino is the enemy of Yoshigan. Two generations of Ashikaga generals have confirmed this with their disgraced faces.
Those people in the Spozhong Fund are just looking for money. Even if problems are found, the worst thing is to commit seppuku. The Spozhong Fund has just been established for a year, and even if there is a hole, it will not be big enough to kill the whole family.
If they dare to attack Takada Yukino, they will really drag the whole family to death, and may even implicate their relatives.
In Kyoto, Yoshigan dared to kill without mercy even under the pressure of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga. Now he has no scruples when dealing with some rebellious retainers in his territory.
Moreover, Takada Haruno is here.
Yono has become more and more sinister and cunning in recent years, but no matter how bad she is, she will never let Yi Gin and Yukino be harmed.
The main operations of Shibachu Fund are in Sakai Port, and the bulk of the problem is there, which is Haruno's territory. Anyone who dares to touch Yukino on Haruno's territory is really asking for death.
Tenchu in Kyoto still frightens the shogunate, and the legend of the Mibu wolf hunting is still spread in the castle towns.
Not to mention Yukino's inability to hold a knife, even if she lay flat and let people cut her, they would not dare to cut her.
