Chapter 696: Money Reigns

Whether it's a samurai or a ashigaru, they all accept the changes of their own family, and they are the only one, no matter how the Takayama clan chief persuades, and no matter how Honda Masanobu is, Sanada Masayuki understands the righteousness, but he just doesn't agree with the Takayama clan's approach, and the last three of them are helpless, and it is worth pushing him in front of the lord and persuading him personally.

"Lord, my subordinates will never agree to do this, do you know how much money this will make the family pay more, and the consequences of this will only drag down the family's finances, my lord, have you ever thought about how to end up if there is no money to pay.

Don't say anything about long-term peace and stability, if you really want to do this, I'm afraid you don't have to wait for the future, and the family will be completely finished within three years, so I ask the lord to take back his life. ”

Kagawa Tadaji strode into the castle tower, and as soon as he saw the lord, he didn't bother to salute, so he said angrily.

He can't take care of anything now, when Honda Masanobu and others persuaded him, he silently calculated an account in his heart, if calculated according to the full number of 5,000 people, the military expenses of the family will now have to pay 100,000 guan a year, and the retainers of the family will be close to 110,000 guan a year.

And if the title system is implemented, maybe a few years ago, because the titles of the people are not high, the family's finances can still bear it, but as the family continues to fight, the titles of the people are getting higher and higher, I am afraid that the family's military expenditure will be doubled in less than three years, and the family's current income is only 200,000 yuan, and it is necessary to build roads, repay the cost of the iron cannon production line, and other expenses, plus the lord will spend a lot of money from time to time. Even if there is a gold mine, it is not enough for the lord to toss.

After hearing such a change, as a financial officer, if he didn't lose his temper in front of the clan, it would be abnormal.

And the clan has long been known to be coming, and when Kagawa Tadaji finished speaking, he saw that his face sank. yelled: "Presumptuous, is this the attitude you should have as a retainer." ”

After listening to this, Kagawa Tadaji really calmed down. yes, how can I forget even the most basic etiquette. I saw him quickly kneeling on the ground and said in a panic: "Yes... It's a subordinate faux pas. Please forgive me for my sins, no... However, the mind of the subordinates will not change, and please understand. ”

The clan's yelling just now was not really to blame him, it was just to calm him down first, and the clan's knowledge said that if he couldn't regain his calm, then everything would be in vain.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, this is not the place to talk, you come with me!" said. The clan then walked outside the living room and went straight to the warehouse.

This warehouse is located in the castle tower, and it can be said that this room, which is completely encased in thick iron plates, is one of the most important places in the Takayama family, except for the iron plate and iron gate as a defense. There are still five middle ninjas lurking around this warehouse, all of them are guarded for twelve hours, and no one can enter here except for the Takayama clan, not even the young master's wife.

If you want to enter, the first thing is to kill all five middle ninjas. And get the key, and the second is to be brought by the clan.

The reason why this place is so well guarded is because there is only one thing stored in this warehouse, and that is gold! Therefore, it is very inappropriate to say that it is a warehouse, and the word vault is right for the gold stored in it.

Since this vault was not built for a long time, even Tadashi Kagawa, the financial director of the Takayama family, did not know about its existence. But when he saw the layer of iron plates on the wall, and the heavy iron, he wondered even more, what did the lord bring himself here for, and what was in it? Could it be that there is something in it that can solve the family's finances?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head again, there are a lot of valuable things in the world, but he thinks that even if it can be solved temporarily, it cannot be solved forever. …,

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, he saw five ninjas in armor, some jumping from the beams, some flashing out of the passage, and even more directly uncovering the floor and climbing up from below.

Kagawa Tadaji also became more and more puzzled, what is hidden in this room, and it is so tightly defended?

"Subordinates, etc., see the lord." The five ninjas walked quickly in front of the clan and said.

"Well, you're doing a great job." As he spoke, the clan took out the three keys that were stored close to him and inserted them into the holes in the gate.

And when all this was done, he took a few steps back, and the five ninjas stepped forward and opened the iron door with all their might.

After the friction between the steels sounded, the clan stepped inside, followed by Kagawa Tadaji.

As soon as the torches on the wall were lit, Kagawa Tadaji was stunned by the sight in front of him, and in front of him was a pile of gold that radiated a golden light, which was more than half a person tall.

In this pile of gold were small pieces of gold, small grains of gold, nuggets the size of a fist, and in addition to these, there were many small ornaments made of gold, and they were piled up together.

Although this pile of gold can be worth 100,000 kan at most, and Kagawa Tadaji, as the financial director of the Takayama family, has passed through his hands for a few years, not to mention millions, but unlike those, although this pile of gold is small, it is too visually impactful, especially the dazzling golden light emitted under the illumination of the lamp, which can't make him open his eyes at all.

After a while, Tadaji Kagawa eased up a little. I heard him ask incredulously, "Lord... Lord, this gold is ......"

Speaking of this, he was very entangled in his heart, he was the property of his family, and now he had so much gold in front of him, but he didn't know where they came from, which was really dereliction of duty.

So he didn't continue to ask, and the more he asked, the more incompetent he only proved to be.

However, although he didn't continue to ask, his mind didn't stop, he thought about it quickly, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of the origin of these gold, could it be that the Lord Guild spells, these gold were all conjured by the Lord Gong? In the end, he could only use this to convince himself.

No wonder the lord has no fear of the restructuring of his own family system, it turns out that he still has such an ability. But when the family encountered a financial crisis before, how could the lord not produce some gold. Could it be that the new society is not successful?

It's no wonder that Kagawa Tadaji doesn't know, this batch of light gold was brought back by the ninjas in the Wind Demon only yesterday, and yesterday Kagawa Tadaji was still busy outside for road repairs.

Seeing Kagawa Tadaji stunned on the spot, the clan couldn't help but say, "Okay, the environment here is good, let's talk here." ”

Looking at the gold in front of him, what else is there to talk about, I just heard Kagawa Tadaji say directly: "The lord has the means to conjure gold, but his subordinates have thought too much, and his subordinates agree to the change of his family." ”

After hearing his unrealistic thoughts, the clan couldn't help but say angrily: "Fart! Put away your unrealistic ideas, if Lao Tzu has the ability to conjure gold, then why do you want to do it. ”

Kagawa Tadaji couldn't help frowning, and said, "Is it difficult that this gold is not conjured by the lord?" That... The subordinate really wants to persuade the lord well.

Lord, although there is a lot of gold, but if you count it, it can only support a few years at most, this is still a situation where there are not many samurai and ashigaru with titles, otherwise, I am afraid that it can only be supported for a year or two at most, the lord hopes for long-term peace and stability, but if there is no money, everything is impossible to achieve, even if there are occasionally one or two extra incomes, it is a drop in the bucket, not enough at all, so the subordinates still persuade the lord to take back his life. ”…,

The clan sect did not directly agree or deny, but asked, "Do you know why I want to bring you here and talk to you in front of so much gold?" ”

When he saw Kagawa Tadaji shaking his head, the clan continued: "Okay, I'll tell you now, the reason why I brought you here is to let you know that only by keeping making money will you get richer and richer, and if you only rely on saving money, then you will never become rich, so when you don't have money, don't think about how to save, but think about how to earn."

Just like this time, a few days ago, the family's funds have been consumed, and it's only been a few days, isn't there another 100,000 yuan in front of you, this is earning, now do you understand what I mean? ”

For these big truths, Kagawa Tadaji didn't pay too much attention to it, as the saying goes, the mountain is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, and it is impossible to suddenly let him change his personality, although he had to nod in response, but at the moment he had only one thought in his heart, that is, the lord must have found a way to make money again, it must be so.

Thinking of this, I only heard him ask: "Lord, the truth is understood by his subordinates, has the lord thought of any financial way to relieve the financial pressure of his family?"

If you can earn 100,000 pieces of gold every few days, then no matter how the lord reforms, his subordinates will fully support it. ”

"Are you dreaming? This gold worth 100,000 guan was scavenged all the way when Wasuka Masakatsu led the Wind Demon Ninja back to his home, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Takeda family's defense, and even attacked several gold mines, but such a good thing can catch up with it once, as for the way to make money, what I have here is, since I dare to carry out reforms, then how can I ignore the funds. ”

Kagawa Tadaji saw that the lord was so confident, it seemed that the lord did not seem to be talking big, he opposed the reform, and was completely thinking about the Takayama family, since the lord now has a way to solve it, then there is no need for him to oppose it.

I only heard him speak: "Since the lord is sure to make more money, then his subordinates agree with the reform." I don't know if the lord can tell his subordinates how to make money, and his subordinates should prepare in advance, after all, this 100,000 yuan is enough to subsidize military expenditures for two or three years at most. ”

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help frowning and said: "Who said that I plan to use this 100,000 guan as military expenses, if I want to make money, how can I do it without paying the capital, and this 100,000 guan is the capital." ”

Seeing that Kagawa Tadaji was about to speak again, this time the clan did not give him a chance, but said: "Don't talk nonsense, call Kamimura Ichi, I have something to order." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
