On the 14th day of the seventh month of the 10th year of Yonglu, the printing tax of 360 was collected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kinoshita Hideyoshi personally grabbed the knife and recorded the amount in the account book one by one.

Then he looked at the pile of silver goods of different sizes in front of him, and his eyes were about to straighten.

He suddenly had infinite admiration for the tie.

It is always difficult to levy a little tax on businessmen on weekdays. Today, with a little trickery, people actually took the initiative to send money to the door.

"Three hundred times a day, isn't there more than 100,000 times a year?!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi was immersed in this beautiful fantasy and couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

Wasuka Koroku also responded: "The best thing is that there is no need to forcibly levy, but to let the merchant voluntarily give the money, such a clever plan, there is only a tie with the supervisor." ”

Pingshou shook his head with a smile, breaking their illusions: "Today is a special situation that will attract so many people. After that, the situation was stable, and it was impossible to have 300 yuan in the account every day. I think it's only about 10,000 or 20,000 a year, and no more than 30,000 at most. ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was not discouraged when he heard this, and replied respectfully: "As you said, that's also a lot of money!" The annual income of 20,000 yuan of silver is equivalent to the reclamation of 50,000 or 60,000 stone of land. The Supervisor is so clever that I can't wait for him. ”

"And then there's the operating costs of the office. and the law enforcement costs of adjudicating disputes and pursuing criminals. Hite-hode continued to pour cold water on him, and then mentioned one of the most critical issues: "What is more important is the opinion of Gifu Castle." The original meaning of the lord was to let me and others decide for themselves the division of benefits and rights and responsibilities. ”

As she spoke, she took out the letter in her hand.

Of course, it was impossible for such a thing to be known to Oda Nobunaga in Gifu Castle without first passing it on. In Nobunaga's eyes, he naturally does not overestimate the benefits like Kinoshita Hideyoshi. With one or two thousand yuan of silver every year, his old man is not blushing. In addition, the Oda family had always adopted a policy of letting their retainers play freely, so no clear instructions were given.

Traditionally, Nobunaga would cede these profits and instead promote the stamp duty policy in Ome, Omi, Ise, and other places. Although Kaimachi is rich, it is far less than the sum of these regions.

After Kinoshita understood this verse, he said decisively without thinking:

"I think most of the amount should be handed over to the equal-handed supervisor for military funds, and the necessary expenses can be left."

Obviously, Fang Cai still looked like he was moved by wealth, but at this time, he didn't seem greedy. In addition to Hirate Hohide, Koroku Beesuka, Koichiro Kinoshita, Yukinaga Konishi and others can't help but be very impressed by this Kaimachi practice.

Only Hideyoshi is not surprised, Hideyoshi seems to be greedy and short-sighted, but in fact he has great ambitions, although he likes fine clothes and food, and has a good voice, but he can also give up these for the sake of political future without hesitation.

Of course, this person still follows Nobunaga's instructions as the supreme principle. But other than that, he will never have a bad relationship with influential ministers.

In the eyes of everyone, Kinoshita Hideyoshi's words should be in line with Hite's intentions. Isn't it for this wonderful new deal that the new guardian came up with this wonderful new deal?

Surprisingly, Fan Xiu just smiled and shook the folding fan in his hand, refusing:

"Kaimachi is a special city, so I shouldn't get involved too much. In the future, all taxes and fees collected within the Kai Town will be handed over to Kinoshita-sama for the expenses of the Kai Town's management. At the very least, the security team can be enlarged to ensure that the place is safe. As for me, I am only responsible for collecting the stamp tax for other areas outside of Kaimachi and Izumi country. ”

Naturally, these words came as a great surprise to the listeners.

Wasuka was very surprised and confused, and didn't dare to show it.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was the same at first, but in an instant, his eyebrows tightened, as if he thought of something deeper.

But the flat hand didn't take into account their feelings, only got up and said:

"There was no objection, and the matter was decided. Then I went to bed. I'm going to return to Kishiwada Castle tomorrow morning, so you don't have to send each other off. ”

Then he got up and made a gesture to leave.

The entourage around him naturally crowded back and forth.

When Konishi saw Fan Xiu stretching out his hand to summon, he did not hesitate to follow.

Kinoshita Koichiro hesitated for a moment, greeted his brother with his eyes, and then caught up with two steps and stepped out side by side with Konishi.

……

Hirate walked unhurriedly back to the guest room on the side of the office, resting on a cushion and pouring a refreshing cup of tea and drinking it in two sips.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to Governor Konishi, who was standing in the distance: "Thanks to your performance today, the face of the Kaicho Governor of this family is bright, and this 'stamp tax' is logical." It seems that business matters are indeed your job, and this question is answered quite well. ”

"Thank you, Lord Supervisor, for your praise." Konishi Yukito bowed down and replied, but there was no joy in his eyes, but he was full of preoccupations, looking like he wanted to speak but didn't dare.

And Kinoshita Koichiro, who came over, couldn't help but bow down and say:

"I have some thoughts, and I have the courage to speak to the prisoner."

"Don't worry, but don't worry." For this "Yamato Great Acceptance", which has not yet developed, Fanxiu showed rare patience and kindness. This is not only out of the habit of collecting talents, but also because of the appreciation of their character.

"Yes." Koichiro replied, "Originally, I thought that this answer would satisfy the supervisor. But you don't appear to be interested in the proceeds of stamp duty...... I realized that your thoughts were much more profound. ”

Hirata continued to bow his head and drink tea, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Koichiro, you originally came to me to recommend Konishi Yukicho to join the office, right?" Now that you've been busy for so many days, do you have any new feelings? ”

Kinoshita Koichiro's expression was right.

He's not shrewd, but he's not stupid either. These days, I have seen the appreciation of the other party. Coupled with the use of a series of political means, he also had to admire.

Xiao Ichiro made a decision immediately, bowed twice to the flat hand Tsuno, and said solemnly:

"I'm stupid.,I've always thought that following my brother is the best choice for the Kinoshita family.。 Now, thanks to the unabandonment of the supervisor, I am willing to serve the dogs and horses under your command, as long as you learn a little bit of your ability, it is enough to glorify the lintel of Kinoshita's house. ”

At the same time, President Konishi also reacted, and at the same time knelt on the ground to show his heart:

"The villain used to think that the position of the general was within reach, but now it seems that he is all young and frivolous, and he is self-righteous. Now it seems that my little bit is far from enough to make a contribution, and I only hope to be a pawn of the even-handed family, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. ”

Fan Xiu nodded, and Masase said, "That's very good." You're both talented, otherwise I wouldn't have been patient. For the time being, you can do things by my side! ”

The two of them bowed down together and replied, "Yes!" "There was joy in his eyes.

"The name Koichiro is a little informal. How about you being called Xiuchang in the future? ”

"Thank you, Lord for the name."

Although Kinoshita Hidecho was puzzled, of course, there was no reason to refuse when it came to such a good thing.

Then Pingshou Fan Xiu relaxed again, stared at the teacup in front of him for a while, didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said: "Today's matter, the two of you must have some incomprehension." I happen to be in some interest today, so I'll tell you about it. ”

Kinoshita Hidecho and Konishi Yukinaga immediately sat upright, staring intently, pricking up their ears in a listening gesture.

"First of all, you must wonder why I am not interested in the stamp duty of 10,000 or 20,000 kan a year in Kaimachi. The ostensible explanation is that there are too many forces in Kaimachi, the background is complex, and there is too much energy involved. But on a deeper level, the collection of stamp duty itself depends on power. If I cling to this gain, I will not increase my political capital, but will rapidly deplete the prestige and connections I have accumulated before. ”

"Don't you understand? It doesn't matter, but let's have a general impression. Even Kawada Kuro (eldest kin) or Honda Yahachi (Masanobu), who have followed me for many years, may not be able to truly understand these words. Perhaps only Matsui (Tomokan) can resonate. ”

"As a samurai force, how should you get involved in business? Is it profitable to collect taxes? That's just the stub. The first thing for a regime to do is to make rules, and secondly, to control the channels on the basis of rules. When these are controlled, profits are nothing more than a matter of course. ”

"What I need is a stable and orderly business system with transparent processes and overall control. Stamp duty was only a starting point for the system, not to make money, but to get people accustomed to doing business under the control of an enlightened regime and in accordance with the law. ”

Looking at Kinoshita Koichiro and Konishi Yukinaga, who were at a loss, as if listening to a book from heaven, Hisho felt a little lonely.

This is the final plan he has made by combining the knowledge of his past life and the circumstances of this life, but there may not be many people in the world who can understand it now. However, perhaps it was precisely because the people in front of him couldn't understand it at all that he would be bold and outspoken.

Ever since he knew that he was going to take up a post in Izumi Country, he began to think about it carefully.

From the barrel narrow, the raider Mino, and then to Shangluo, along the original historical context, with the golden finger of the traverser, it is easy to achieve achievements that ordinary people can't reach.

But I also feel more and more that this road will gradually become impassable in the future.

At the very least, the "Tie Tsuki Izumi" is a change that is very far from the original history, and the butterfly effect caused by it is difficult to estimate.

For example, according to the "historical plot", the shogunate and Oda should have fought against each other next, and ushered in two encirclements. But now that Hirate is himself the key figure in connecting the shogunate and the Oda family, this complicates matters.

Still following the idea of the traditional samurai to expand the territory, how can you ensure that you must be Yushiba and Shibata, and not another Sakuma Nobumori?

So he began to recall the theoretical knowledge in history textbooks, metaphysics.

Then remember that the sixteenth century was a time when capitalism flourished around the world. In Western Europe, there were also marked differences between the Azuchi (Oda) and Momoyama (Toyotomi) regimes in Fuso.

However, in the original history, the combination of power and capital was too rough, relying heavily on the personal discretion of the king, and there were also discordant notes that thousands of sects were easily forced to commit suicide. At the end of the day, it is a bit blunt to use an executive order to prescribe business privileges and then grant them to the businessmen who support them.

Financial monopoly capital, backed by force, is the most powerful force in this era.

At present, Kaimachi has the rudiments of commercial activities such as banking, futures, and loans, but the credit of the business owners needs to be maintained by their reputation, and there is no political power behind them. This severely limits the speed at which these campaigns can be promoted.

Originally, the historical Matsunaga Hide, because of his relationship with the power of money, can be forgiven for repeated rebellions.

If Hiteshu can make himself the face and symbol of a new business model, then it will have an unshakable place in the Oda system, which values the economy.

It took Matsunaga thirty years at a tea ceremony in Kaimachi to achieve this status. He doesn't have the time and patience, but he has the vision and insight beyond the times.
