Chapter five hundred and forty-two throwing money to kill
Yoshigami breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how Yamanaka Yukimori understood this matter, he finally kept his character from collapse.
He picked up the tearful beautiful girl Samurai Princess and walked back indoors, comforting her and dressing her at the same time.
Yamanaka Yukimori is neither walking nor not walking. He lowers his head and dare not look around. He wants to turn around and leave, but he is afraid that outsiders will find out that he has left. The master is wearing clothes, and there will be even more misunderstandings!
Helpless, her heart pounded wildly, and she lowered her head and listened to Yiyin in the same room, the atmosphere was ambiguous.
———
Terutora Uesugi returned to Kasugayama Castle angrily, filled with grief and anger.
Although she was the most powerful in Echigo and was right in her words, she had no way to deal with Yoshiba Shiba.
She is an ordinary woman who is greedy for love, but Shiba Yiyin is a saintly man who upholds righteousness and is inferior to others no matter how he thinks about it.
For the Wu family, the continuation of the family business is a matter of great justice, above all else.
No matter how bad Shiba Yiyin is, as long as what he does is to continue the family business, all the martial arts families will silently praise him in their hearts.
Reward from the public is only an external appearance, but a thousand-year family fortune is the fundamental justice. Who dares to say that he is wrong!
On the contrary, Teru Uesugi's beauty makes him faint. He only knows about the love between men and women, but does not know about the difficulties of his family. Maybe he is spurned by others behind his back, which makes him look down upon.
But the more this happened, the more wildfire burned in Uesugi Teruhora's heart. She fell in love with this holy man, and she must get him! Get him!
Today, Uesugi Teruhu is in a dilemma, internally and externally.
The Echigo family did not support his entanglement with Yoshihiro Shiba, and Yoshihiro Shiba also hoped that the cooperation between the two parties would be based on pure interests and would not involve emotions, which would ruin the overall situation.
The retainers did not support him, and his allies did not support him either. Uesugi Teruhora planned an entangled strategy and was isolated.
Yoshigan Shiba's undressing plan completely aroused her ferocity, and she became even more murderous towards the troubled Nagao Masakei, and Usami Sadamichi couldn't even think of escaping the involvement.
If they are not killed, the Echigo samurai will only become more and more courageous, and there will never be a chance between him and himself.
Yoshigan Shiba did not support it, which in the eyes of the Echigo samurai family showed that the relationship between the family governor and the family governor would not affect the interests of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
With no worries, the Echigo samurai family will work harder to persuade the family governor to find a man to marry and reproduce.
Uesugi Teruhora must be killed as a warning to all these bastards, so that they know how powerful they are and keep them silent.
It is me, Terutora Uesugi, who calls the shots for Echigo. I can marry whomever I want. It will be someone else’s turn to tell her what to do!
However, Nagao Masaki was the governor of the Ueda Nagao family, which was closely related to the stability of the Nagao clan.
Usami Sadaman is the leader of the guardians of the old ministers, and he can influence the whole body with one move.
Terutora Uesugi squinted his eyes, murderous intent wavering in his eyes, and asked someone to call Honjo Minoru.
Honjo Minoru quickly arrived at the castle tower and bowed to the ground.
Uesugi Teruhu asked with a calm face.
"Has the cargo at Sakai Port at Naoetsu been cleared?"
Honjo Minoru is surprised. Wasn't the business cooperation between the Uesugi and Shiba families led by Naoe Keetsuna and Ohkuma Asahide? Why are you asking me?
But when asked by the family supervisor, you can't say I don't know, right? What is the use of such an incompetent subordinate?
Fortunately, this village is actually Kasugayama Castle, Joetsu has the right to discuss all matters, and he has a clear understanding of Naoetsu's situation, he said.
"Hey, the first batch of cargo from Sakai Port is worth about 50,000 guan. Lord Naoe Keizuna and Lord Ohuma Asahide have discussed not to disperse in Echigo.
Directly sell it to merchants from the Ten Countries of Kanto in Echigo for 100,000 guan, and use their channels to open up the trade routes of the Ten Countries of Kanto.
After that, he paid a tax of 100,000 guan to the government office according to the 10% tax, and the profits were divided among the various households in Shangyue."
Terutora Uesugi nodded and asked.
“How much profit do I get?”
Benzhuang actually lowered his head, made calculations, and said.
"According to the agreement between the two companies, you have a share of this shipment itself. Plus the taxes on the profit sharing, your private treasury can probably earn 10,000 yuan."
Teru Uesugi said in surprise.
"so much?"
"Hi!"
Don't blame Uesugi Teruhu for being shocked, this income is actually far beyond her imagination.
The height of the Echigo Stone is about 400,000 koku, and the annual income of the six public and four citizens was only 240,000 koku, which is equivalent to 120,000 koku in copper coins.
Including gold and silver mines, green linen cloth, sea salt, and commercial taxes, the total income is probably between 200,000 and 250,000 guan.
Because following Yoshihiro's suggestion, the future land tax will be reduced to four citizens and six citizens, which will result in a loss of approximately 80,000 guan in revenue a year. This is also the reason why the new Uesugi retainers group is opposed.
Yoshigan Shiba substituted the business profits of the Hokurikudo trade route, which offset the mood of the new Uesugi retainers, allowing them to wait and see Naoetsu's income before making any calculations.
The first batch of people who tested the waters were short of goods and earned 10,000 guan in taxes. Uesugi Teruhu made 10,000 guan directly into her private treasury because of her participation in the investment, which greatly exceeded her expectations.
You must know that Echigo's income of 200,000 guan was used for internal affairs and military supplies. In particular, the most important military expenditure of the samurai family accounted for at least 70 to 80% of the total expenditure.
Being able to save one-tenth in a year is already a very high level of governance. You have to prevent being trapped in disaster years and use it to maintain order.
In the past few years, Uesugi Teruhu's capital savings did not exceed 20,000 yuan.
And the first time Sakai Hong Kong products tried the waters, they earned back half of her hidden money. How could she not be surprised?
Due to the trade winds on the sea route and the restrictions of the frozen port, even if the distance between Tsuruga Port and Naoetsu is not far, you can only make four round trips at most a year.
If Sakai Port increases its efforts in the future and can really achieve 30% of Sakai Port's cargo shipments four times a year, then it will be at least 300,000 tons of cargo.
Calculated in terms of entry into the port, that is 600,000 guan shipped to the ten countries of Kanto.
Even if the Uesugi no longer buys the Uesugi family with the 11% tax, Uesugi Teruhu's share of goods will not be small, and he will definitely have an annual income of 50,000 to 60,000 guan.
After the expansion of trade, the siphon effect of Kasugayama Castle and Naoetsu on Kanto merchants will attract a large number of merchants to build houses in the castle towns and minato towns to participate in trade, driving the development of Echigo.
Perhaps Kasugayama Castle in the future will really become the commercial center of Hokuriku like the Sunfu Castle of the Imagawa family in Tokaido.
The gains from this are immeasurable, and Uesugi Teruhu’s gains may exceed Echigo’s current annual income.
Teru Uesugi nodded, which was a good thing and also strengthened her confidence.
With enough benefits, she had the capital to use ruthless measures to make the Echigo samurai do what they wanted. Money moved people's hearts, and the profit-seeking samurai would definitely succumb.
Terutora Uesugi glanced at Honjo Mino and smiled, his eyes cold.
"Tell Naoe Keizuna that this profit should not be put into my private treasury, but should be distributed entirely to the warrior Hime who is accompanying me in the battle at Hokushin this time.
Also, let me know.
What I harvested in Naoetsu this year belongs to me, and I won’t take a penny from it.
All the tax money will be given to each company, and the product payment will be given to the Longtail family. I would like to thank them for their support over the years.
I hope they will continue to support me in the future."
Honjo Minoru's eyes widened in disbelief.
In addition to testing the waters this year, there will be at least two more opportunities for goods to arrive at the port.
The taxes from Naoetsu were distributed to each family in Joetsu, with the family governor taking the largest share.
Yoshihiro Shiba and Terutora Uesugi make money in partnership, so she naturally has a large share of the goods, and the net profit from the sale will be considerable.
The combined income of Uesugi Teruhora from both sides will amount to thirty to forty thousand gen this year. Now the taxes are given to the Joetsu samurai family and the payment for goods is given to the Nagao clan, which is enough to make the samurai warriors smile from ear to ear.
But, with so much money thrown away, what on earth is the governor going to do?
Honjo Minoru couldn't help but look up at Terutora Uesugi, only to see a pair of murderous eyes, and her heart was cold.
