Chapter 17 The Great Plan for Collecting Wealth
Three days later, in the assessment room of Arako Castle, Maeda Toshimasa's funeral was particularly deserted, except for the people of his own family and the Arako people, only the Takayama clan, Sakura and his three samurai attended the funeral.
The clan was dressed in black, kneeling at the back of the evaluation room with a sandalwood rosary, and Sakura, who was beside him, was also wearing a black kimono, and the crystal rosary in her hand was clutched tightly by her. I saw Sakura's face solemn, and the tear stains on her cheeks were clearly visible.
In the middle of the front of the assessment room, there is a spiritual tablet of Maeda Toshimasa, and in front of a teacher monk wearing a black cloth robe and a robe is chanting.
Since there were very few people in attendance, it didn't take long for the funeral to end, and the Maeda Toshiya had already packed up and planned to leave with the clan. However, the clan thought to himself, anyway, there is nothing for him to do now, so he will simply be a good person to the end, and after Li Chang is buried, let Maeda Toshiya report.
In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, after having dinner at Higashiki Castle, the clan did not let Yamauchi Kazutoyo and Nakamura Kazushi follow, one of them was responsible for repairing the castle, and the other was responsible for training Ashigaru. Although there are only ten of them, the clan must be trained strictly before leaving, and it is not so easy to become the banner of the clan.
On the way back to Qingzhou City, the clan was thinking that the matter of Maeda's Toshi's family was solved, but now there are still two major things waiting to be solved, one is the wedding with Sakura, which is the top priority in life, and it is absolutely sloppy, and although Sakura doesn't say it, it can be seen that she still wants to hold a wedding.
"Sakura-chan." Clan Sect shouted softly.
Sakura hadn't recovered from the grief she had just attended the funeral, so she just replied absentmindedly, "Huh? ”
"When the construction of the East Castle is completed, we will hold the most wedding, and I want to let all the people of Owari know that Sakura is my wife."
"My lord, are you telling the truth?" Sakura asked excitedly, and the gloom in her heart just now was swept away.
"How could I deceive a girl as gentle and considerate as Sakura."
"Your Excellency......" Sakura said shyly. She had been waiting for a long time, and this day was finally coming.
After deciding on the major events of his life, now the clan began to think about another big thing, that is, how to make money. He can't do things that are too professional, and things that are too ordinary don't make money. If you want to make a lot of money, don't you want to be too professional, what are you doing? That's a lot of work.
Clan Zong can't help but think back to the beginning, when he played Japanese Sengoku-themed games, how did he make money? Waiting at the tavern to find a merchant who needs an escort? The clan shook his head, don't be funny, the dignified general will be a bodyguard, and this will not make others laugh off their big teeth. Reselling goods? Well, that's a good idea, there are a lot of regional specialties in Japan, and he also remembers a lot of them when he plays games, and he can definitely make money from this. But just when the Gaoshan Clan Sect was about to make up his mind, it suddenly occurred to him that it was just in the game, and now it is reality, who knows what things in Lu Dao will suddenly become popular, even if he knows Lu Dao, but after buying it all the way, it is worthless, isn't it all smashed. And the cycle of this method is too long, and he must not take risks for him who does not have much capital.
There are also when you were in the game, you could make a fortune with gambling, and you could rely on the Dafa of reading files in the game, but how to read the files now? I don't know how to listen to the dice, and if I don't cheat nine times out of ten, I have to pay for the money if I don't get it.
Alas! These three methods are the most commonly used, but what else can be used to make money? Hey, yes, why do you want to gamble, you can open your own casino, Ha Luha, they all say, Huang, gambling, drugs to make money, Huang is everywhere here, poison is not here now, gambling, although every tavern has it, but it is for the villagers, few samurai participate. This is not because the samurai did not like gambling, but on the contrary, they were not only rich but also competitive, but the gambling in the tavern was too low-grade for them to participate in.
Yes, just open this, not only to open, but also to open a luxury casino for samurai and wealthy merchants. Unconsciously, the clan had been thinking about it all night, and he had gone through everything he knew about the casino in his mind.
Seeing that the sky was already bright, the clan jumped up from the couch, because the action was too big, it scared Sakura, adults generally don't get up until noon every day, what's going on today. ,
After cleaning up, the clan called Kagawa Tadaji and rushed out of the samurai mansion directly. When I went out, I only listened to the taste of the clan: "Zhongji, where is the most prosperous place in Qingzhou City?" ”
Kagawa Tadaji was very puzzled, why did the lord suddenly remember to ask this, could it be that he wanted to spend money again, and the family's finances were managed by him, so he was very sensitive to this. Tadaji Kagawa said honestly: "My lord, if you want to say that the most prosperous place is the vicinity of Matsunoya. ”
"Okay, let's go there."
Matsunoya, clan, and Sakura went once, and it was close to the castle tower and surrounded by many shops. Not long after, the clan came to the outside of Matsunoya, and he didn't want to delay too much, so he directly ordered Kagawa Tadaji: "Tadaji, write down all the shops that are to be sold or rented in the west. Then come back and report back! ”
Tadaji Kagawa frowned, thinking to himself, isn't the lord planning to become a merchant instead of a samurai, so what should he do? He asked with a slight hesitation, "Lord, what do you want ......?"
Now the clan is already anxious, how can he have time to explain to it, and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”
Seeing that the lord's face was not good, Kagawa Tadaji didn't dare to ask more, and after answering, he quickly rushed away, and the clan didn't wait in place, he walked in the opposite direction. In the vicinity of Matsunoya, the bustling area is not long, only about 200 meters out, it has been deserted, on both sides of this more than 200 meters, there are more than 30 shops of all sizes, the large four or five facades are connected together, and the small ones are only one, but these shops are not for sale without exception, nor are they rented. To such a money-making treasure, if you are not in a hurry to wait for the money to be used, no one will be stupid enough to sell it.
When he returned to the gate of Matsunoya again, Kagawa Tadaji was already waiting there, only to hear him say, "My lord, my subordinates have found a shop to sell. ”
The clan immediately said excitedly: "Quick, take me to have a look." Seeing that the lord was anxious, Kagawa Tadaji replied, and quickly turned around again and led the way in front.
However, when the clan came to this grocery store, he was deeply disappointed, this store only had one storefront, and it was only one floor, not even a courtyard. When I entered the store, I saw that it was only about a dozen steps horizontally and vertically, which was too small to do anything at all.
The shopkeeper looks to be in his 30s, and the reason why he wants to sell this shop is because the goods sold in his shop are available in other stores, but the things sold in other stores, he doesn't have them here, and the shop is too small, and over time, fewer and fewer people patronize it, and now he can't continue to operate, so he has to sell the shop, and then make a lot of money by selling the store, and then open a store in another place.
However, he never imagined that it was a samurai who wanted to buy it. Samurai in business? He felt a little incredible. If that were the case, he wouldn't dare to think about making a lot of money.
