Chapter 243 lack of money
On April 7, the fourth year of Yonglu (1561), Imakawa Kaede's birthday.
Yu Qiuping failed to prepare her birthday gift this year, but Imakawa Kaede is not regretful at all. Because she has received the best birthday gift - Yu Qiushang's Peace.
After four months of care, Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede's body finally improved. During these four months, Yu Qiuping was worried every day, afraid that Yu Qiuping would get terrible diseases. God has eyes, and this child who was predicted by the doctor to survive for a short time, tenaciously survived the first four months, and his health was significantly better. Yu Qiuyu not only could grab the toys, but he could actually recognize his child. Although Yu Qiuping was not as fast as his twin brother, he could only scream "a ya" and could not hold on to things with his hands. However, as long as he could grow up healthily, Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede would be very relieved.
After the initial period of danger, Yu Qiuping wanted to continue to stay in Qingzhou City to take care of Yu Qiushang. After all, his body still could not withstand the bumps from Qingzhou City to Kuroda City. However, Yu Qiuping had to return to the territory first, because there were a series of problems in the territory that needed to be solved urgently, and Naoe Tadaping was almost unable to cope with it.
"When I'm not here, take care of the children." Yu Qiuping instructed worriedly before leaving.
"Go with peace of mind, Hiraki," Imakawa Kaede chuckled. Even after she had just given birth, her figure was still not out of shape, and she was still as graceful as before. "Can I do not do as clumsy as you?"
"This is not like what a princess who is not very proficient in female workers and cooking." Yu Qiuping teased, "Shang'er and You'er will ask you."

When Yu Qiuping arrived at the territory, the spring farming in the territory was basically over. Naoe Tadhipei used amazing efficiency and a series of coordinated means to resettle the more than 200 families of Chang Panbei in the villages around Kurota City, and distributed them a lot of wasteland and cultivated farmland. It turned out that the owner of the farmland was transferred to other villages by Naoe Tadhipei and gave additional land compensation - a bit similar to the demolition and houses in later generations. Although it was delayed a little time, these more than 200 families also barely started spring farming, but the harvest may not be so good.
In addition, Naoe Tadae also issued a convening order to the 27 villages in the territory. In mid-March, the village chiefs of each village came to Kuroda Castle to report the specific situation in the village, which can also increase the prestige of Yuqiu's family. Although these village chiefs are local snakes who have lived in Ohara for generations, they usually exclude outsiders. However, Yuqiu's reputation that Yuqiu had gained in the southern part of Ohara has played a major role in the moment. These simple people all highly respect Yuqiu's, welcomed his arrival, and also gave Naoe Tadae Tadae to certain cooperation in his work.
Lin Xiuzhen's information to Naojiang Zhongping was also a great help. Whether it is taxation, labor levy and footwork, there are basis for relying on it.
"So, what are the difficult problems you encountered?" Yu Qiuping listened to Naojiang Tadao report on the handling of the past four months in the Tianshou Pavilion. It seemed that everything was going very smoothly. So what was the reason why Naojiang Tadao rushed to call himself over?
"Your Highness..." Naoe Tadaehide browed and whispered: "We have no money."
"No money?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, "What does it mean?"
Yu Qiupi's rebellious question made Naoe Tadaehide stunned. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, let Lord Sezue tell you. It's just that he is forcing him to come back."
A moment later, the iron cockerel, Semine Yoshinobu, rushed into the Tianshou Pavilion with a thick stack of books. He did not give Yu Qiuping any face, and threw the books on the table, shouting: "Hongye, there are so many places to use money! It's a long time before this autumn harvest! We are going to make ends meet!"
"If you don't say anything else, we all need money to eat... Now we eat all the food provided by the Oda family, and the amount is not very sufficient." Semine Yoshigao whispered, "Because everyone is not full, Changban's training has been stopped for a long time! In spring, everyone is busy with spring plowing, and now they have to help build a house. It has been nearly three months since they have not trained!"
"How can this work?" Yu Qiuping immediately became a little anxious. His Chang Panbei's personal martial arts were not good, and he was not an excellent commander. The reason why he was invincible on the battlefield was due to day-to-day training: "The training cannot be stopped! We used to be fucked every day!"
"Red Leaf!" Sena's Yoshinori was obviously more anxious than Yu Qiuhei: "Training is not something you want to train, you can practice it if you want to train! If you want to have sex every day, you have to let everyone eat one and a half pounds of food every day! You also need to add an egg or some meat! Otherwise, you will be exhausted and your body cannot keep up, so you can't practice! In the past, at the Imakawa family, you were so expensive that I felt so distressed! Your Highness and Jiayan didn't care about anything and just gave you support! Do you know that your Changban's training funds will almost cross out the income of 5oooo stones!"
"Oh my God! There are so many!" Yu Qiupi was shocked. In the past, he did rely on his prospective son-in-law of Imakawa Yoshimoto and a young man who was a key trained young man, so he almost didn't care much about spending money.
"Yes! Let me tell you!" Semei's mouth never stopped, "Even if the autumn harvest has been over! If our 8ooo stone territory is in good condition, if you have a good harvest, you will probably get about 35oo stones. The 35oo stones must be saved. We have to save the military rations that you need to go to the expedition if we go to the expedition! We have to go to the expedition at least 6oo people, which is 12oo stones in four months a year. The remaining food will be exchanged for money, which is 12oo stones! We need to maintain the full amount of weapons! Water conservancy needs to be built! City defense needs to be reinforced! You have to pay the salary of us samurai! We have to treat guests to dinner and give gifts with our colleagues and superiors to spend money to socialize!" He said this, and changed his tone and continued to shout loudly: "How much money can we still have left? Can this amount be maintained for daily training!"
The more Yu Qiuping heard, his face became darker and weaker, and he sat on the stool behind him, holding his forehead with both hands.
"It's impossible!" Semine Yoshi-shou shouted firmly: "Don't talk about training every day! In order to make a living, Chang Panbei's subordinates even go to the fields to help during the busy farming season! Thank you for being able to practice more than a dozen times a year during the slack farming season! How can there be extra money left!"
"If we can't maintain training... if we continue like this, why would Chang Panbei become those..." Yu Qiuping whispered in a low fear: "Are those peasant soldiers who we used to beat them to the point of falling water?"
Naoe Tadaehiro also looked gloomy when he heard this. Sena Yoshinobu was still breathing in his waist because he was talking too fast just now.
"I haven't finished speaking yet!" After recovering, Sena Yoshihiro said again: "What I said is all about good weather and no mistakes! But how is it possible? If there is a small disaster, it will be troublesome! What's more, we are on the border. If the Saito family comes and raids us a few times and affects our autumn harvest, we will be done! We will be ineffective! We will even have to disarmament!"
"What should I do!" Yu Qiuping was so anxious that he became louder without realizing it: "What can I do!"
"If you can't do anything about Hongye, we can't even get through this summer!" Semine Yoshihiro looked at Yu Qiuhei without hesitation, "Do you know what we are relying on to maintain our expenses now? It's because of the blacksmith workshop of Hanamaru and the others in the city of Qingzhou, and we can give us some money every day! Even so, the salary of the samurai has not been passed since last autumn, so the brothers are all born and die together, and they have no objection! But if we continue for a long time, what should we do! We must find a way to get the money!"
Yu Qiuhei was scolded by Semenara Yoshi and couldn't help but sit alone in her seat and sulked. When Semenara Yoshi finally stopped talking, Yu Qiuhei immediately retorted: "I'm not the God of Wealth? Can I make money?"
"Big! I'll settle the accounts again!" Yu Qiuping shouted in anger: "Call your subordinates who can settle accounts! Join me to return to the old business! Make money by making settlements for others!"
"What are you talking about? Hongye!" Sena's Yoshinobu was both angry and funny.
"I'm serious!" Yu Qiuping decided to carry out the argument to the end. "We'll build a house with a row of counters inside! Your civil servants and I sit behind and settle the score for the bosses!"
Wait a moment…
A house with a row of counters inside, someone sitting behind... settles the accounts?
Yu Qiuping's mind was filled with inspiration.
Bank!——The most profitable transaction, no doubt.

"Speaking of it! Have you ever heard of a strange store?" Yu Qiuping grabbed the life-saving straw and was excited. "It accepts people to save money! Then lends money to those who are in urgent need of money! Use it to make a profit!"
Yu Qiuhei was stunned when he looked at Sena's Yoshinori and Naoe Tadaehide, and couldn't help but be excited about his wisdom across time and space! The indigenous people in the Middle Ages would not have been able to reach such a modern Akira.
Who would have thought that Sena Yoshihiro simply poured a basin of cold water on Yu Qiuping.
"Did Hongye mean Tukura?" Senahi Yoshi asked in confusion, "It's available in Kiyosu Castle. I heard that there are also in the territory of His Highness Lin, His Highness Shibata and His Highness Sakuma."
"Nani?" Yu Qiuping, who was proud, felt as if struck by lightning, his eyes were about to fall off.
