Chapter 439: Hosokawa Commercial Bank (I)

The streets of Kyoto are still singing and dancing, but the atmosphere inside the teahouse suddenly becomes solemn, because the lord Hosokawa Nobumoto has an important decision to make.

"I announce! Set up a commercial bank! At the same time, a money writing order was issued! The contents are as follows: Hosokawa gold and silver coins, Yongle coins or iron coins are all currency in circulation, and no townspeople should refuse to use any of them! At the time of trading, the ratio of gold 1 tael = silver 50 = Yongle money 1 guan wen = iron money 4 guan wen is converted. If someone refuses to use a certain currency, the law enforcement will impose certain penalties. When Hosokawa Nobumoto shouted the word "bank", he almost couldn't help but want to jump, and he had been planning for 20 years for this day!

"Yes! Obey the Lord's decree! All the people saluted in unison.

"Well, Mitsunori Goto! I appoint you as the great judge of my family, and preside over and supervise the minting of gold, silver, and copper coins. And accept the control of the Kandai and the town! "Hosokawa Nobumoto first appointed Goto Mitsuto, after all, he is a real person.

"Huh? Thank you, Lord Yamata! Thank you, Lord Yagata! Goto Mitsunori kowtowed excitedly, although the Goto family is a family of carved gold and a wealthy businessman, but this identity has always been a lowly merchant servant. Now, he has finally cleared the clouds and seen the sky here, and has become a high-ranking samurai.

"Hehe... Congratulations, Goto-sama, it's time for you to change your name to the lord. Honda Masashin kindly reminded him.

"Oh yes, yes, my lord! Please forgive your subordinates for their rudeness! Goto Hikaru took a big prostration, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Alright, let's go and wait on the left." Hosokawa Nobumoto pointed out, and Goto Mitsunori officially entered the Hosokawa family.

"The town commissioner, Akito Nakajima, established the Golden Seat, and was responsible for the appraisal, issuance, and exchange of gold goods, and was under the control of the financial commission and the survey commission." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked to the left, where there were all the merchant samurai of his family, and they all had a merchant identity to hide their identity from the outside, so as to facilitate private business operations.

"Yes! Thank you for your trust in your subordinates! Nakajima Akiyan thanked excitedly, gold is the first precious metal, hard currency.

"The town commissioner Konishi Takaza established Ginza, and was responsible for the identification, issuance, and exchange of silver goods, and was under the control of the financial and survey commissions." Hosokawa Nobumoto then clicked on the second person.

"Yes! The subordinates must do their best to complete the task of the main bus generation! Xiao Nishilongzuo smiled and took the order, don't look at the wealth of Jinshan, but it has not been developed yet, and his own silver mountain already has a certain scale, and he can be said to be ahead of Ming Yan in terms of distribution.

"The town commissioner was responsible for the identification, issuance, and exchange of copper goods, and was under the control of the financial and survey commissioners." Hosokawa Nobumoto deliberately scattered the gold, silver, and copper to prevent the family from becoming bigger, otherwise it would be bad for himself and them.

"Yes! Subordinates must be loyal and dedicated to the Lord's family! Never disappoint the cultivation of the lord! Kakukura burst into tears with excitement, he was considered a junior in front of the other two town commissioners, but the lord gave him the most important copper mountain. The so-called gold and silver mountains are not as good as their own copper mountains, which currency is in the greatest demand among the people? Naturally, it's copper coins!

"Okubo Chang'an is responsible for the development and management of gold, silver, copper, and coal as a mine. Kagawa Tadaji was appointed as a surveyor, and was responsible for the lawsuits, taxes, and forced labor of the territory, as well as cashiers and food. You both are at the mercy of the financial pursuits! Hosokawa Nobumoto looked to the right again, so that the entire industrial chain would be complete. From development to casting, then distribution and possible disputes in the future, they are interlocked, and all levels can supervise each other at all levels to avoid enriching their pockets and committing fraud.

"Yes!" Okubo Yasushi and Kagawa Tadaji were ordered by the low chieftains.

"Nakajima Kiyono, as the financial officer, is responsible for collecting, accounting, and supervising the financial situation at all levels below, and if anyone dares to enrich his own pockets and engage in fraud, he will be killed!" At the end of the sentence, a gloomy look appeared on his face, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped by five degrees.

"Yes! The subordinates will definitely do their duty! Please rest assured! Nakajima Kiyoyan and the others bowed together, and their backs were soaked.

"Well, well, plus you are at the mercy of the president of the commercial bank." Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at the military advisor Honda Masanobu, but the latter did not react in the slightest.

"Hehe... Don't look at him, Yahachiro is still in charge of the military and political power, but this business will no longer involve his energy. Hosokawa Nobumoto relented again and said half-jokingly.

"Huh?" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, everyone has their own position, so who should be the president of this bank? Could it be that he is the lord? Everyone finally looked at Hosokawa Nobumoto, waiting for the final answer.

"Kindness! Come out! Hosokawa Nobumoto shouted to the inner room, and the door opened, and a person respectfully walked out: Horiuchi Zen.

"My lord." Horiuchi bowed, walked straight to the top on the left, and sat cross-legged. Everyone looked at Horiuchi Clanzen, this person is currently serving as a general in the water military camp, his ability is average, his level is average, and he can also be said to be at a relatively low level when looking at the entire Hosokawa family. However, everyone will not underestimate him, just because he is the adopted son-in-law of the lord Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Horuchi Zen! Promoted to the rank of general! Take on the role of Chief Business Officer! Responsible for the management and operation of the industry, and audit the subordinate departments on time! "Hosokawa Nobumoto's family is the only one of them, the adopted son-in-law Niko Motohisa and his younger brother Hosokawa Haruyuki are all members of the party, but this Horiuchi clan is not strong, not up or down. Now that the bank is being formed, he, the president, does not need to do too complicated business, he only needs to hire a group of people on time to check the accounts, which is simply so easy!

"Yes! Thank you for your kindness! Your Majesty will serve the Lord wholeheartedly! Horiuchi Zendai bowed, and Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded with satisfaction, so that the financial power could be in his own hands.

"I've seen Horiuchi Hide-sensama!" The others finally bowed to Horiuchi, and the entire structure of the commercial bank was completed.

"Excellent! I announce again! Hosokawa Commercial Bank! Officially established! Hosokawa Nobugen waved his hand domineeringly, although it is a commercial bank, but with the credit of his Hosokawa family as a guarantee, I believe it will flourish soon. You must know that the four major chaebols in later generations, two of them developed copper mines, and two of them made a fortune by opening a bank, which shows how rich their profits are.

"Obey the Lord's orders!" The people prostrated again and went down. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
