After Yu Qiuping said a "newly coined word" that was completely unknown in Japanese, everyone here was confused by Monk Zhang Er. Yu Qiuping smiled slightly, and then explained: "In short, I just need you, Sakai Town.
The merchants of Ishiyama Town will continue to deliver all the food, building materials and other goods I need; I also need His Highness Hatakeyama to order the wealthy families in Hanoi to stop following the Miyoshi family and support the Yuqiu family."
After Yu Qiuping said these words, the six businessmen present and Hatakeyama Takamasa did not rush to object or speak out. Because they all understood that if Yu Qiuping made such an absurd request, he would definitely give corresponding rewards——
They are looking forward to seeing what the reward is, and it is not too late to refuse if it is not suitable.
"I know this request is very difficult for you, even unrealistic." Yu Qiuping first turned to look at the merchants of Sakai Town and Shishan Town, and whispered: "For you, whether it is with me, Yu
There is not much difference in profits whether the Qiu family does business or does business with the Sanhao family. The Yuqiu family is much weaker than the Sanhao family, and supporting the Yuqiu family is too risky. You are both businessmen, and your accounting skills are very good. So, I
I will give you enough rewards that are worth the risks you take to support the Yuqiu family! Please wait and see!"
"And Your Highness Hatakeyama," Yu Qiuping finished, turning to look at Hatakeyama Takamasa, "you have always been unwilling to follow the trend, but insist that everyone should abide by the laws and regulations of the past and will not compromise for worldly interests. In order to
I am also prepared to convince you to support me, please wait and see."
After Yu Qiuping said that, he snapped his fingers and signaled Longzi to bring up a huge scroll and slowly spread it out among the people. There was a huge triangle drawn on the scroll, and at the three vertices of the triangle
In each place, several large characters were written in red ink: Yuqiu Family, Congress and Court. Under these three names, many words were densely written in black ink. The businessmen and Hatakeyama Takamasa squinted their eyes.
Looking at it, I don't quite understand it.
"Let me explain it to you." Yu Qiuping clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention and then whispered: "In short, my Yu Qiu family, you merchants, and His Highness Hatakeyama each do their own thing.
An independent individual unites to form a government. The three of us are equals in the government position, checking and balancing each other, and no one can dominate the other. Then our formed government will expel the Miyoshi family and take over Hanoi and the vicinity of Sakai Town.
land and complete the founding of the country."
After listening to Yu Qiuping's explanation, everyone still had doubts in their eyes. Yu Qiuping laughed twice, as he expected that everyone did not understand. So he and Hatakeyama Takamasa apologized, and then turned to Sakai Town, Ishiyama
I plan to explain to the town merchants the meaning of the Diet first.
"This Congress is open to you, the merchants of Sakai Town and Ishiyama Town. Businessmen not only from Sakai Town and Ishiyama Town, but also from Kinki can also join this Congress if they wish. There are initially 100 quotas for the Congress, and each person can only
Can enjoy a quota. Every time the Congress wants to decide something, these 100 people vote to decide, and the minority obeys the majority to reach the final decision."
"I know this, it's similar to our guild." Matasaburo Tachibanaya smiled and continued, "Then what does this Congress do?"
"I may scare you when I say it, but please believe every word I say next." Yu Qiuping paused and looked at the businessmen who looked increasingly serious, "Because the power I have given to this Congress will be unprecedented.
Huge. I rely on this concession to convince you to give up the powerful Sanhao family and risk your life to support the weak Yuqiu family."
"The first power of Congress is legislation. From now on, the Yuqiu family will control all laws, large and small, within the territory. Except for military law, all laws will be controlled by you.
It is enacted by the Congress composed of our businessmen!" Yu Qiuping said in a deep voice: "Including tax laws, tariff laws, trade laws, market construction laws, all laws, big and small, are made and revised by you! Instead,
In other words, if the Yuqiu family can take Sakai Town from the Miyoshi family, you will decide how much tax you have to pay every year!"
As soon as Yu Qiuping said this, all the businessmen were stunned and couldn't say a word - this was a power even greater than that of the Joint Meeting of Important Ministers.
They are all businessmen, and they understand how important laws are. In other words, they can decide how much tax to collect every year, whether to collect tariffs, and whether to collect transaction taxes by formulating or amending tax laws... If the power of legislation is
In the hands of businessmen, they can create a country that is extremely conducive to business development, and this will be a paradise for big businessmen like them to make wealth.
Because samurai have always looked down on merchants and only covet their money. No matter which daimyo they are, the laws and systems for merchants are quite harsh. Not only do they have to pay high tariffs and transaction taxes, which seriously restricts the development of trade,
As a result, the merchants were tied up and taxed the merchants' property and regular taxes. Due to its autonomy, Sakai Town received relatively few restrictions, but it still had to pay a large amount of donations to the Miyoshi family every year, as well as various taxes.
.
But if the laws in the territory controlled by the Yuqiu family are made by businessmen, they have the final say on how much tax they want to collect! This is a huge power!
"Is this true?" Sonshiro Sueyoshi was the first to lose his composure and asked excitedly, "Is His Highness Jibu serious?"
"I just said that everything I say next is serious." Yu Qiuping nodded to him, "Please don't interrupt me, the power of the Congress has not been finished yet?"
"Isn't it over yet?" At this time, even Imai Munehisa and Tsuda Mune, two wily businessmen, couldn't hold back and shouted in surprise.
"That's right. Another major power of your Congress is to approve the Yuqiu family's budget." Yu Qiuping paused and explained in another way: "Before the start of each quarter, the Yuqiu family must
The money to be spent will be calculated and reported to you for review. If you are not satisfied with this budget, you can not approve the money to the Yuqiu family. In other words, the Yuqiu family’s treasury will be left to your control!"
When the businessmen heard this, their eyes widened again, and they were so shocked that they even spoke out. How important the treasury is to a family, no more explanation is needed!
"These two are only the most important powers, and there are many details, all written here." Yu Qiuping pointed to the dense black letters under the Congress and whispered. After the businessmen calmed down, they immediately pounced on the food.
They generally came to the edge of the scroll, pointing at the words with their fingers, and looking at them one by one. The more they looked down, the more exaggerated the shock on their faces. In the end, everyone had a look on their face.
sweat.
"Is this really true?" Although Sueyoshi Sonshiro had already asked him once before, and Yu Qiuping also gave him an answer, he still couldn't help but ask again: "Since Amaterasu, there has never been a martial artist.
The minister has given us ordinary people so much power! If I hadn’t heard it with my own ears and seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed such a thing! Your Highness didn’t lie to us, did he?”
"No." Yu Qiuping shook his head very firmly and said, "To tell you the truth, I used to be a settler and very shrewd. I will not give you so much power for no reason. This is an exchange of equal value. Now
The Sanhao family is much stronger than the Yuqiu family. As long as you stop transporting goods, the Yuqiu family will be dead. In order to win you to give up the powerful Sanhao family and risk huge risks to support the Yuqiu family, I must make enough concessions.
.”
As Yu Qiuping spoke, he pointed to the various clauses under the Congress and whispered: "And this is the concession I give you."
After experiencing the initial shock, the businessmen gradually recovered. Although it was still difficult for everyone to imagine the power they had obtained, they were all wealthy businessmen, so they had some restraint and would not be surprised all the time. Imai Munehisa took a few deep breaths
After getting off, he asked Yu Qiuping in a low voice: "His Highness has given us such good conditions, what do you need from us?"
"Didn't I just say that I want you to continue to deliver goods to me?" Yu Qiu said in a low voice, "to ensure that Changpan is constantly equipped with food, to ensure that the people will not die of cold and illness, and to ensure that Changpan is equipped with armaments. After all, if
If you are willing to join this Congress, you and the Yuqiu family will be both prosperous and humiliated. If I can't defeat the Sanhao family, everything will be a wild card and the power given to you will not be implemented, so I need your help."
"But His Highness Miyoshi Mikyu didn't say it clearly, but he means that we will not be allowed to deliver supplies to Maple Leaf Mountain Castle." Hasegawa Munehito whispered with some fear, "Ishiyama Town is okay and will not be affected too much, but our Sakai Town
After all, it is still controlled by the Miyoshi family. If it offends His Highness Shikyu, wouldn’t it be self-destruction?”
"I understand, but you have all been businessmen for so long. It is not difficult to find a way to secretly transport the goods." Yu Qiuping smiled and tapped the floor with his fingers, and whispered: "And this is what it is.
It’s something with huge risks. If there weren’t such big risks, I wouldn’t have given you so many benefits, and there would be no pie in the sky.”
Yu Qiuping's words have been very clear: if the businessmen of Sakai Town choose to support the Mihaoshi family, they will not take any risks. As long as they stop delivering goods to Yu Qiuping, the Yu Qiu family will collapse without a fight, but in this way
The benefits obtained are also very limited. If the Yuqiu family cannot provide many more benefits than the Sanhao family, the businessman will still choose to go with the safe Sanhao family.
In order to win their support, Yu Qiuping has given up a lot of power to them. If they choose to support the Yu Qiu family, they can gain the power to legislate and control finances. This is the power that every businessman dreams of.
.But this also means that Yu Qiuping and Yu Qiuping have become grasshoppers on a rope. Once Yu Qiuping fails, their businessmen will have to walk away with nothing to eat.
These six businessmen are all veterans who have been traveling in the business world for many years. At this moment, they are all sweating profusely and have wary expressions on their faces. They are confused and don’t know what to do. There is such a big piece of fat in front of them. It’s really hard not to eat it.
It's uncomfortable. But the risk may make them bankrupt.
"I once heard a great person say," Yu Qiuping said leisurely after seeing the businessmen hesitating for a long time and being undecided: "Once there is an appropriate profit, the businessmen will become bold. There are
If you get 50% profit, you will take desperate risks. If you get 100% profit, you will dare to trample all laws. If you get 30% profit, you will dare to commit all crimes and even risk being beheaded."
"The profit before you right now may be 100% or more. Bosses, are you still hesitant?"
Yu Qiuping's words were like a spark, igniting all the enthusiasm of the businessmen. They finally no longer hesitated, but raised their heads excitedly one after another, waiting for Yu Qiuping's next words.
.Because whatever Yu Qiuping says may be a false promise. After all, he is on the verge of desperation at the moment, and it is very likely that he will make a desperate attempt regardless of anything. If he cannot give enough guarantees, everything will be out of the question.
