The house given to the Shinsengumi by the Miyoshi family was large and in a good location, right near the Miyoshi family's Sakai Port.
Since ancient times, the closer to the ruler's residence, the more expensive it was.
The Miyoshi family occupied Sakai Port, and the customs office was an important place for paying taxes. It was also the residence of the highest official of the Miyoshi family stationed here.
The houses near here are worth a lot of money, and they have all been taken over by the big businessmen of Sakai Port.
The Shiba family's residence was vacated after the Miyoshi family forced a big businessman to move out.
This is how the Wu family does things, being rough and direct, especially to businessmen.
If you have money but no swords, you are just a captive animal that can be skinned and eaten at any time.
This mansion is luxurious and has many rooms, enough to house the Shinsengumi and the Twelve Princesses of the Takada sisters, and more than half more.
Yang Nai plans to recruit some servants. After all, the house is too big and needs someone to clean it and feed the girls.
However, these are small things, let’s put them aside for now.
At this time, Takada Haruno was sitting in the main seat in the reception room, with expressionless Yukino Takada on one side and Yuigahama, the new leader of the Shinsengumi group on the other.
Harano glanced at Yuigahama, who was slightly nervous. The newly-selected team leader who suddenly rose to a high position had not yet adapted to his new identity.
Her expression was awkward, very much like that of Takada Yono herself, who had just been promoted by the Lord.
Yuigahama was restless because Yukino was staring at her chest indifferently for a long time.
Yangno looked at herself and then at Yuigahama, with a smile on her lips.
Yukino and Harano looked alike, but after they grew up, there was one thing that was completely different, which made Yukino depressed for a long time.
But in this place, Yuigahama and Harano are quite similar, relatively scrappy fabrics.
"May I ask what the team leader is called?"
Yuigahama bowed his head and answered.
"My subordinate, Yuigahama Yui, would like to extend my regards to the two Takada-sama."
Although she had been here for a few days, this was the first time she sat down with Harano Yukino to discuss matters.
In the past few days, I have been supervising the retreat of the Miyoshi family and reporting back to the shogunate.
This was a top priority and she had to complete it seriously, even postponing her meeting with her boss.
Finally, everything went well, and now I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Another time when the Sibo family had completed a major event of rewarding them, a letter came from their highness, and the three of them happened to sit together and talk.
Yang Nai smiled, pointed to the paperwork on the low table, and said.
"Post-war review of the Spo family.
The Lord has officially appointed me to serve as the Shiba Family Merchant and control the Sakai Port Shinsengumi.
What do Yuigahama-hime think?"
Yuigahama Yui said quickly.
"Only Takada-sama of my subordinates is following my lead."
She was Xingjin's courtier, and she was so dizzy that she was hit by a pie falling from the sky. She still can't believe it.
The Takada family is the only generational retainer of the Shiba family and someone close to the Lord.
What could she have in mind? Of course she would kneel down and lick her.
When she was appointed by His Highness to be the leader of the Sakai Port Shinsengumi, her mother couldn't believe it.
Although my daughter is good at martial arts, she is big-breasted and has no brains. She is not a warrior princess who can please her lord.
How can I gain favor from His Highness? With such great benefits.
When it was confirmed that it was true, he was so ecstatic that all the Rikihime warriors from the Ubihama family and blood relatives were handed over to his daughter.
He hurriedly threw her out the door and went to Sakai Port to work for His Highness.
The Yuigahama family can only be ranked in the middle or lower among the twenty Yuno families. This is a great opportunity for the family to turn around, so we must seize it.
Before going out, I gave you many instructions, the Takada family is the Lord's confidant, and you must lick the Takada sisters to make them feel comfortable. Remember this.
Although Yuigahama Yui is a bit stupid, she still listens to her mother's words.
At this time, her attitude was respectful and she just wanted to make a living with the Takada family.
Takada Harano was also promoted suddenly and lacked available manpower. Seeing Yuigahama Yui's well-behaved nature, she nodded in her heart and deliberately tried to win over him.
Both parties are close to each other, and talking comes as naturally as a spring breeze.
Only Yukino had a stinky face and remained silent, looking at these two big men with cold eyes and polite remarks.
While they were having a pleasant conversation, Imai Muneku asked to see him.
Yang Nai squinted his eyes and counted the days. The heat was almost ready, so he asked her to come in and talk.
After Imai Munehisa entered the house, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Yang Nao asked with a smile.
"Boss Imai, what are you doing?"
Imai Mun sat up for a long time and said sincerely.
"I am blind and missed Lord Takada's kindness twice.
After learning from the pain, I am willing to offer two members of Imai House as atonement."
Yang Nai shook his head.
"The Sibo family is not a money-minded person, and my family doesn't even bother to take the food that comes to them.
I’m willing to use sugar cubes to invest in Imai House, what do you think?”
Yang is watertight.
Don't talk about things that offend others, as this will make the Spo family bully others.
My family politely used the sugar recipe to invest in the company, which is exactly the way your business is going.
It sounds like giving away money is similar to buying shares, but in fact there is a big difference.
Imai Munehisa gave 20% of the Shiba family members, but they were just waiting to receive money and could not intervene in the business.
Merchants have a flexible mind. If they don't have the right to participate in the transactions and check the accounts, who knows if Imaiya will divest some profitable transactions.
What's more, what Yangno wants is not money, she said bluntly.
"I have no interest in money. I never wanted to make money. The thing I regret most is that I became a businessman."
Imai Sojiu slandered, "You don't love money, why are you tossing me? Isn't it just for brother Kong Fang that you are tossing me over and over again? It's hypocritical."
But she couldn't say that, she just kept her head down and acted small.
"Please let me know clearly, sir."
Yangno glanced at her and showed his fangs.
"I am a martial artist and a warrior Ji. But I am not good at killing enemies in battle, so I can only find other ways to make money for my master.
I choose to cooperate with you because you have the iron cannon and the money to trade in your hands.
Either I don’t make money, or if I want to make money, I have to make money so that the master will look at me differently.
I don't want money.
I want the Sibo family to have no shortage of swords, guns, iron cannons, and armor.
I want the trade routes to cover Konkaido, Tokaido, Hokuriku Road, and even Kanto to facilitate the transportation of military supplies.
I want the benefits of business to be a huge boost to the Spo family.
Let the Lord take care of me, and I, the Takada family, will become an indispensable minister of the Shiba family."
Imai Munehisa really didn't expect that the Hime Samurai in front of him, who was still naive about business, would have such great ambitions.
She remained silent, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. The water in the Spao family was deeper than imagined. If she chose to cooperate, she would be risking her wealth and life.
does it worth?
Harano didn't look at her and said to Yuigahama Yui on the side.
"You and I are subordinates in Sakai Port, but we are both marginal figures in the Shiba family.
I just want to ask, is the Yuigahama family determined to reach a higher level?"
Yuigahama Yui was shocked by Takada Harano's ambitious words just now. When she heard that she intended to promote herself, she bowed her head.
"I am willing to do my best for Lord Takada!"
Yono said to the hesitant Imai Munehisa again.
"In Wu family society, merchants are livestock raised by the Wu family. If they have more money, they are nothing more than fattened pigs.
Is Boss Imai willing to do this? Don’t you want the Imai House to become the Imai Family?”
Imai Munehisa was shocked, and Yangno finally revealed his real trump card.
The Imai family? She looked at her with burning eyes, and her lips and teeth were trembling.
"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"
Yang Nai nodded silently and said.
"Of course it's not possible now.
The Wu family despises the greed of businessmen and merchants, so how could they give Ji the status of a warrior?
The Wu family values land income, but you and I both know that land is limited.
With the development of commercial trade, profits are getting bigger and bigger, and companies are paying more and more attention to taxation.
If the Spo family can go further in business and obtain benefits beyond the land.
Then why can't we ennoble a businessman who has made great contributions to the family business into the Wu family?"
Faced with the temptation of becoming a Hime Samurai, Imai Sohisa turned pale and found it difficult to refuse.
