Chapter 74 (continued

The newspaper industry caused a great sensation on the island of Japan. Everyone was saying, "The two big fools in Ohari were losing money to gain publicity." However, the newspaper also followed these sounds and walked into the bedrooms of various famous masters. Oda Nobunaga took Kinki and controlled the general and the emperor. It was equivalent to Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period. He used the emperor to command the princes. If anyone did not accept it, he would immediately be appointed as the enemy of the court, and everyone could be punished. Daming, who had little relationship with the Oda family, did not want to be an enemy of the court. The Oda family siege that was created some time ago in the Honan Temple, is now in addition to the Honan Temple, the Miyoshi family retreated to the four countries, and the others died after surrendering. Among them, the Takeda family was the most shrewd. Through the time of the encirclement, they captured the Imakawa family, who was also a member of the encirclement, and their tentacles were transferred to the East China Sea.

The first day of the bank's opening did not cause a big response. Although it had been advertised for several consecutive days, the day of opening was no different from ordinary money shops. Whale House Bank quietly opened in Jeecho, Kiyosu, Kyotocho, and Minamitanhama (Haguchi Castle and Shincho) and its business was also silver and money exchange plus loan deposits. However, unlike some money shops, deposits here are interest, and loans must also be mortgaged with fixed assets, and the interest is much lower. People are still skeptical about the matter of interest in saving money. Some brave people just deposit some unused small money in it, and then get half a receipt, and are told that when withdrawing money in the future, they only recognize the receipt but not the person. In other words, this half of the receipt can be traded. The first generation of customers received not certificates of deposit, but fixed cash checks.

Take the Tsukoku, Shinkoji Temple. The man in the temple, Susunoki, took a copy of the news that he bought from Shimocho of Arioka Castle, and said, "Sir Shimama, this is today's newspaper."

Lai Lian nodded, took the newspaper and read it on his own. Lai Lian reads the newspaper in the same way as reading Buddhist scriptures. He always reads it softly, and adds some opinions such as "nonsense", "nonsense", and "scam ghosts" from time to time. The illiterate Shuinoki listens quietly, hoping to get some useful information from it.

After reading the entire newspaper, Shuinoki asked anxiously, "Sir Shizuma, look at the gold that Iitaro mentioned above, is it true that Iitaro dug out of gold?"

Lai Lian looked depressed, thinking that when I was reading Buddhist scriptures, I never heard your questions, and I was so enthusiastic about reading newspapers. ‘I think it is true, after all, the Oda family would not make jokes about such small things.’

The bachelor Suzunoki looked like he was thinking, ‘This time he said that he had two new wives, so I would have been so lucky.’

Lai Lian thought to himself, there was no chance, and he had never heard of a gold mine near Honan Temple.

‘Sir, Suzunoki wants to go to Tanba.’ Suzunoki said firmly as if he had made up his mind.

In the lower grade, Lai Lian took out 200 severance fees and handed them to ZhiNiji. "It is worth it for young people to go to explore more, so I won't stop you. You have been in the temple for two years, so use the money for travel expenses. Remember wherever you go, the Buddha is by our side."

‘My lord’s words must be kept in mind. I have been in the temple for my two years. I would like to take care of you after I left.’

‘The Buddha will bless us.’

Shuinoki packed up his luggage, a few old clothes, and the 57-month scattered money he had earned from working in the temple for two years. In addition, the severance fee was 257-month, which was enough for the trip to Tanba. When the seventeen-year-old Shuinoki turned back at the Seongjo Temple, which had lived for two years, he felt a lot of emotion, but he was soon attracted by the scenery on the road.

The road surface in Kinki is not very peaceful. Susukinoki rented a ox cart together in Shishimacho, Ishiyama Castle and seven bachelors who wanted to go to Tanba Country to hunt for gold. Although the fare for 8 cents per person is expensive, it saves a day's journey, and the cheapest meal and accommodation costs are also three or four cents. Moreover, it is quite cost-effective to get to Tanba earlier than a day.

Eight young people moved forward on the bumpy ox cart with dreams and hopes. Along the way, everyone was talking about topics such as where XX and XX got rich and took a concubine. These people all heard that the Tamba Kingdom discovered gold mines and were recruiting people. Everyone was also extremely envious of Iitaro's luck.

In the afternoon, the ox cart arrived at Kameyama Town and smelled the smell of rice from the town. The ox cart and the others started to whine from the stomachs. The old man who was driving the car stopped the ox cart in an open-air convenience store and shouted to the boss, "Buy some dry food."

The boss opened a steamer and said, "There are newly-cooked glutinous rice red bean paste buns, one cent per cent, five cents per cent. It's okay to exchange rice with rice, but only one rice for five bean buns."

The old man who drove the car bought five, tasted it and tasted it, and bought five more to pack it for the children to take it back. Suzunoki also bought five, squatted by the road and ate three, enduring the greed in his stomach, leaving two bean bags left, and leaving them for breakfast the next day.

After arriving at the registration point of Minamitanba Town, more than 20 people came here to register for mining and gold hunting. Like everyone else, Shuinoki painted a fork on a document he didn't know, and then dozens of people were led by a manager to a stream. There were several simple wooden houses here, guarding them with four feet. Dozens of people by the river were constantly working on the water bank. ‘Is this gold hunting?’ Shuinoki never had the concept of gold hunting in his mind.

‘Okay, you’re here. This is where you will find gold in the future. Someone will hand over the rest to you.’ After the manager’s explanation, he shouted to the shore, ‘Pingjiu, this wave of people has been handed over to you, there are thirty-five of them in total.

‘I know, thank you for your hard work.’ Pingjiu, who walked out of the house, responded, ‘You all went to the river to see them. Today is still half an hour before the end of work, and time is a little tight, but you have to learn how to make gold in this half hour. Tomorrow you will do it formally. If you don’t understand, ask. Do you understand?’

After responding to the 9th Lord Hiraki, Suzunoki walked to the workplace and saw the working methods of the gold digger. Everyone was holding a basket and shaking around the water. There was a rolling silver-white liquid in the sand and stones. Suzunoki asked, "Is this silver?"

The person who was trying to find gold did not raise his head, 'This is mercury, which is much more expensive than silver. This thing is so evil, it can bring gold and silver out of the sand and stones. Tomorrow, the Nine Masters of Tianping will give you. Remember, be careful when using it."

Susunoki looked at it for a while, and sure enough, after constantly detecting useless stones in the sashiro, a small gold particle gradually formed on the edge of mercury, shining golden light in the sunset, which was very attractive. After the gold digger swayed, he carefully picked up the bonus particle. Susunoki asked, "How much is this worth?"

‘I haven’t praised it, who knows. I probably have ten yuan in weight, and the money is probably the fourth one today. I will come with me after I learn it, and I have to pay taxes every day.’ After the gold digger finished speaking, he carefully put the mercury in the basket into a porcelain bottle and took the porcelain bottle to Pingjiu to inspect the goods.

Master Pingjiu had no airs either. He took the gold grains and weighed them and counted them, "Nine cents, Aji, today is good, it's fifty-one cents." As he said that, he also weighed Aji's porcelain bottle, "Mercury consumed one and a half. Fifteen cents of gold, Kudo's family's tax was twenty cents. After deducting mercury consumption, fifteen cents left, are there gold or Yongle copper coins?'

Aji nodded and said, ‘Copper Coins.’

Master Pingjiu opened the drawer, pointed out the 400-month copper coins and handed them to Aji, "I've collected them, don't spend the money indiscriminately, save them and marry a wife."

‘Thank you, Master Hiraki.’ Aji bowed and took Susunoki to leave the house. ‘What else is there to be wondering, so I’ll go back to the town now.’

‘Senior Aji, I just happened to go back to the town. Let’s talk while walking. Are you afraid of everyone taking private belongings here?’ Shuainoki is full of doubts. It’s okay to talk about gold digging. You can understand it by looking at it so simply. But the income is too high. I only have 100 citations a year in the temple. This day is 400 citations. It’s not that I can save money to marry a wife in ten days. Private belongings are also inevitable. The management of entry and exit here is not too strict, there is only a simple body search.

On the way, Aji said, "Idiot, how can I hide the gold? I will die if I swallow it. The four adults are all from the Ninja Army. They are sharp-eyed and the eyes of the people they carry are different, and you can see it at once. Also, here is no different from other places. There is a working indicator here. The gold of this indicator must be collected every day. The person who collects the least gold in five days will be fired. Never hired. Work hard here and earn hundreds of millions of dollars a day. Who can't think of it to hide your own privately?'

‘Ohhh.’ Susunoki responded a few times, ‘So that’s it. Thank you Senior Aji.’

Susunoki saw Aji return to the town and ordered two dishes and a pot of wine in the lodge. After a meal, he lost forty cents. ‘No wonder Master Pingjiu said that he should save some money to marry his wife. It turns out that he was a big-handed master.’

Shuinoki didn't dare to spend money randomly, so he rented a big shop in the lodge for a day and spent all night. The next day, after getting a job, he received a basket and mercury, and started working behind Aji. At noon, several vendors sent dry food. However, Shuinoki asked that the price was 30% more expensive than that of the town, so he refused to buy it. After finishing the work, Shuinoki picked three gold pieces, which were bigger than the ones Aji I saw yesterday, and he harvested a total of 300 million in a day.

Shuinoki returned to the choenaya with heavy purse, and the purse was generous. He imitated Senior Aji and ordered two dishes for dinner. At night, he no longer slept on the big bunk that costs one cent a night, but instead turned it into a single room worth ten cent a day.

This day, Susunoki lay down with his tired body and thought to himself, 'It turns out that making money is so simple.'

Seven days later, at the suggestion of senior Aki, Suzunoki found a female companion in the choenya. He tasted the taste of a woman and let Suzunoki fly away. Two young people made an appointment on tatami to save enough money to buy a house and get married. Suzunoki gave the money he earned to his future wife every day. Two months later, Suzunoki finally saved enough money to buy a house with his female companion. Living happily together.
