Emperor Komu and Prince Daimei Ning are both leading troops to fight on the front line. It is impossible for them to go to the "Ten Men in Two Subsidiaries" in Shanghai and Osaka to discuss how to default on the debt and, oh, how to repay the debt. So I came here on behalf of Emperor Komu and Prince Daimei Ning.

, it is the Echigo Prime Minister Tsusakatsu Uesugi who was once viewed as a joke by the "ten men and two men", but is now beyond the reach of the "ten men and two men".

On the Lujiazui Pier outside Shigendo (this is Zhu Cixiang's private pier), on a pavilion close to the Huangpu River and Wusong River, Prime Minister Echigo came from afar with such arrogance - he was originally

There is no need to come to Shanghai in person, but when he heard that he was going to have talks with Osaka's "Ten Persons in Two Substitutes", he had to come in person.

He thought that Yonezawa Uesugi, who was the poorest feudal lord in Japan at that time and could not even borrow money, was now Uesugi's Taizheng Minister Tsusakatsu, a millionaire in Echigo, and one of the most important ministers of His Majesty the Emperor! And Osaka's "Ten men for two"

"But he ran away to avoid the debt and went to Shanghai. If he wants to return to his country to repay the debt, it depends on the mood of Uesugi Million Stone.

"Tsunakatsu," someone called Uesugi by his first name when he felt that he was in the right mood, "Emperor Koko's Japanese world still needs these ten honest businessmen who came to Shanghai to hide from debts."

"Hai!" Uesugi Tsunakatsu heard this person open his mouth, and his arrogant look immediately disappeared, and he changed into a very well-behaved expression. He didn't even know what the other person said (he didn't understand)

Chinese) just say "Hai".

And the person who could make Uesugi lose a million dollars in a second was, of course, Zhu Cixiang, the great nephew of the Ming Dynasty Emperor.

Zheng Zongming worked as a translator and translated Zhu Cixiang's words into Japanese.

"Your Majesty the Great Nephew, I wonder how these ten profiteers who are in debt and running away can help His Majesty the Emperor seize the world of Japan?"

"They have IOUs from the Satsuma Domain and the Tosa Domain... The Satsuma Domain borrowed a total of 120,000 one-liang coins from them, and the Tosa Domain borrowed 86,000 one-liang coins."

Satsuma Domain and Tosa Domain are also famously poor vassals in Japan, because these two vassals were both wealthy during the Warring States Period - most of the vassals that were wealthy during the Warring States Period were heavily in debt during the Edo Period, because the scenery of the Warring States Period was established

On the basis of the large number of retainers, the land with more people is bigger! For example, the Uesugi family has 6,000 samurai retainers alone. When sending troops, if they include some ashigaru, the number can easily reach tens of thousands! Without these people,

How to start a war with Takeda Shingen and Hojo Ujiyasu at the same time?

As for the Satsuma Shimazu family, which once unified Kyushu, they were also famous for the number of samurai under their command. In the Edo period, among the more than 700,000 people in the Satsuma domain, more than 200,000 were samurai!

Although it is impossible for so many samurai to receive salaries from Sashu, the Satsuma Domain cannot tax them, so the finances of the Sashu Domain will naturally not be generous. In addition, after the Tokugawa family opened the five ports to trade, Satsuma

As a result, most of the revenue from the Ryukyu smuggling trade was lost, so the finances could not make ends meet.

As for the large number of samurai in the Tosa Domain, it was the Yamauchi family, the lord of the feudal lord, who took the blame for the original lord of Tosa, the Chosogabe family. The Chosogabe family also unified the Four Kingdoms in the late Warring States Period. Of course, it was also a family with a large number of people. In the Choso family,

When Ibe Kunichika and Nagaso Gabe Motochin were in charge, they also established a one-colour system in Tosa Province, which stipulated that landowners and rich peasants who owned three towns of land (approximately 45 acres) must prepare a pair of armor for daily farming.

To survive, you must put on armor and go into battle during wartime.

Although these rich peasants with "everything" do not have the salary of samurai, they are not ordinary farmers. They are quasi-samurai who have guns (long guns) in every household and armor in every household, so they do not pay annual tribute.

, also had the Miao character and the right to wear a sword. After the Battle of Guanyuan, these quasi-samurai who owned land, paid no annual tribute (or paid very little annual tribute), still had the Miao character and the right to wear a sword, but had no salary, were called quasi-warriors.

Rural scholars have become a headache for the feudal lords. Because they neither pay taxes nor obey orders, if the feudal lord is an outsider, they will hug together to keep warm and go against the feudal lord and his trusted retainers.

The lord of the Tosa Domain, the Yamauchi family, were immigrants who moved from other places after the Battle of Sekigahara. They simply couldn't deal with this group of old folks. Many of them still missed their former lord, Nagasune, who had cut off his family name after the Osaka Summer Battle.

My family... Because this group of countrymen owned a large amount of land, and from time to time they would band together to ask for tax exemptions and exemptions for the farmers, so the life of the Tosa Domain was very difficult, and it was also a poor domain with high debts.

"But what are these IOUs for?" Uesugi Tsunakatsu asked puzzled, "Will the Satsuma and Tosa Domains still pay back the money?"

"Unless Emperor Koko forgives their debts, or the Satsuma and Tosa domains are destroyed, they will not be able to escape their obligation to repay their debts!" ​​Zhu Cixiang explained with a smile, "And Emperor Koko received an IOU from the Satsuma and Tosa domains.

It also shows that the "Ten People and Two Teams" are already under the control of Emperor Kouko... The "Ten People and Two Teams" not only have claims and debts, but also control the business lifeline of central and western Japan! So only Kouko

Wherever the emperor goes, normal business operations can resume!

Because Emperor Koiko will use silver coins to replace the three coins of gold, silver, and copper that are actually no longer usable... There will be no more big coins and one or two coins in the future, only one or two silver coins! And in Osaka

The debts and claims of Ryodai Bank will first be converted into one tael of silver coins at a negotiated price, and then repaid in installments. Emperor Koko's Bank of Japan will guarantee the debts of Ryodai Bank. And Gu's Salt Industry

The bank will inject capital and shares into the ten houses owned by the ten people.

As for the debts of each domain, some will be forgiven by Emperor Koiko's imperial decree, and the forgiven debts will be repaid in installments by the Bank of Japan. Some have to be repaid at their discretion. There are also some whose family names have been extinguished, and of course they do not have to repay the debts.

.”

Zhu Cixiang's "fangs" have been revealed... He wants the Salt Bank to invest in the ten most influential second-hand houses in Japan, and the shares will reach 50%!

With the Salt Bank taking a stake and the endorsement of Emperor Kouko, the ten ryokan houses can certainly continue to survive.

The fundamentals of Japan's economy are there. Against the background of the development of the west coast of the New World, Japan's economy must be improving.

As the controllers of Japan's finance, the ten-person duo can fully absorb nutrients from the rapidly growing economy, make up for all losses, and get back on track.

In addition, Zhu Cixiang, who has mastered the ten-man double substitution, can easily buy real estate in Osaka and Edo after the war... In the future, real estate in Osaka and Edo will definitely rise steadily.

As long as he masters the ten-man double replacement and owns a large amount of real estate (including docks and warehousing) in Osaka and Edo, the lifeline of Japan's economy is already in Zhu Cixiang's hands - don't think that financial real estate is not the core competitiveness, and now it is

It is not the era of the Industrial Revolution, and Japan will be positioned as a transit place between the East Asian continent and the American continent for at least the next hundred years.

Therefore, the two commercial cities of Osaka and Edo and the financial industry are the core competitiveness of the country of Japan - isn't this the case for regions that have developed through trade?

Of course, Japan's handicraft industries, such as woodware, ready-made clothing, food processing and other industries, will also prosper because of the Americas (the early people who went to the Americas were gold diggers, farmers or hunters, and did not know how to do handicrafts), but these scattered

Fragmented industries are difficult to invest in and master. It is better to directly control finance and real estate.

Zhu Cixiang continued: "Tsunasheng, don't underestimate these merchants... With their support, Emperor Koko won't have much difficulty in seizing Kitakyushu and entering the main territory. Because they are in close contact with the various vassals in Western Japan.

The relationship between them is so close! They know where to exert their efforts, and they can also persuade the recalcitrant daimyo to surrender for Koiko, and they can also provide supplies and civilians for Koiko's army. With their support, Emperor Koiko only needs a few years
