Chapter 553 Transaction
"Why is this?" After all, Xiangzong and our tribe were ancient people, and they had no idea about the series of novel things that were spawned by Yu Qiuping's mercantilist system that spanned the times.
"This is considered for Nagazo Ibu family to repay the loan." Semine Yoshino naturally would not expose the businessmen's ideas. "According to our investigation, it may take a long time to repay the military loan with Tosa's agricultural tax. So the presidents of Congress came up with this method, to open workshops and factories in Tosa and recruit locals to work in slack farms and other time they have time. The factory will give them salary, and the Nagazo Ibu family can draw taxes from their salary and use these taxes to repay."
"There are such good things?" Qiantai, the Kentai of Kasuno, secretly exclaimed in his heart. Obviously, he did not realize that these agreements would bring huge profits and business opportunities to merchants, but still considered them from the classical samurai thinking.
"Is this the only one?" After reading these agreements, our Xiangzong tribe, it's over. He raised his head in surprise, "Is there any other request?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"No more, these are enough." After Yoshi Sena's eyes signaled to Yuqiehei, Yuqiehei nodded.
"This..." Kasuno-song-wo Bi is a mature and experienced diplomat who can hide his emotions well. But at this moment, he almost didn't take back his eyes as a fool.
Yuqiu family borrowed a loan to buy equipment for themselves, and then opened a workshop in their own place to create tax conditions for Changzong and my family to repay the loan? Isn’t Changzong and my family profitable for free? How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Xiangzong, our department of the tribe, hurriedly found that kind of equipment list, complete with spears, bows and arrows, and even iron cannons! Oh my God...
He signed this series of agreements with Yu Qiuping as if he was extinguishing the fire, for fear that Yu Qiuping and others would wake up and repent. Yu Qiuping and the businessman sitting behind him, the craftsman representatives tried to restrain the smile on the corner of their mouths, and looked at Xiangzong's Kentay signing and stamping on every piece of paper with expressionless face.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
He didn't know that this was equivalent to opening up the zero tariffs of Tosako to merchants. Compared with the huge profits and broad market space, what are the meager taxes and loans of Nagato's family?
However, Xiangzong's Qintai was worried that the military industry department of Yuqiu's family could produce thousands of equipment and countless weapons, ammunition and feather arrows needed before the invasion of the Sanhao family. However, Yuqiuping said that this was not a problem at all.
If it were the Military Industry Department in the past, it might be difficult. However, the Military Industry Department is still a huge monster. Because now, the Yuqiu family only has 51% of the shares, and the remaining shares have been bought by merchants - obviously no one wants to miss this most profitable arms deal.
·
The cause of the incident was the large-scale production activity last year. As the Red Leaf Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Mirimachi, it brought about a large amount of equipment shortages, and the Military Industry Department did not have enough raw materials to produce. This made it necessary to submit a new budget to Congress. However, Yu Qiuping happened to go abroad at that time, so the Congress wanted to be tougher and take the opportunity to pass some bills to strengthen Congress.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, Imakawa Kaede, who stayed in charge, did not take this trick at all. Like Yu Qiuhei, she also had wisdom from the future. After weighing the trade-offs, she took a step across the era - selling the Military Industry Department to the Mitsubishi Merchant Group. Because the Mitsubishi Merchant Group is actually the property of Yu Qiu's family, selling the Military Industry Department to the Mitsubishi Merchant Group was actually just a name change, but it was actually very different.
In the past, the operation mode of Yuqiu Army was that Yuqiuping applied for a budget from the Congress and used the approved budget to produce military equipment at the Military Industry Department. But now, the Military Industry Department works under the Mitsubishi Merchant Corps. The Mitsubishi Merchant Corps can provide sufficient raw materials and employee salaries to produce the military equipment first. Yuqiu family first borrowed money, bought these weapons, and then approved the budget from the Congress to repay the loan. This caused the established fact that the ordnance production had been completed, and the Congress had no choice but to compromise.
However, this time, there are too many military equipment to be produced, and the Military Industry Department will inevitably expand its enrollment, and the raw materials and salary are not small. Therefore, Yu Qiuping decided in a secret talk with the merchant to sell 49% of the shares of the Military Industry Department to the merchant. All shareholders who hold more than 5% of the shares have the right to participate in the shareholders' meeting of the Military Industry Department's production, and will also enjoy the dividends of the profits of the Military Industry Department. Yu Qiu's family obtained the controlling stake in the Military Industry Department through the Mitsubishi Caravan and could still keep their word. And merchants can also get a piece of the huge profits of the Military Industry Department, and everyone is happy.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, some people are still worried that if the excellent equipment of the Military Industry Department was sold to the Changzong Iron House, there would be a danger of raising a tiger. Therefore, under the planning of Amano Kyoto and others, the Military Industry Department, which has always been the main business of production, started a processing business. They sold the old equipment, long spears, iron cannons and ordnances that were eliminated by the Red Leaf Army, and sold them as new ones to the Changzong Iron House. The new and advanced equipment produced by the Military Industry Department itself was equipped to the Yuqiu Army. An old-for-new activity was launched in the Red Leaf Army.
However, Kasuzo I-be Kentae didn't know about this. He had already taken those contracts and excitedly ran back to Tosa to report to his brother the huge progress in negotiations. Yu Qiuhei, after winning Oda Nobunaga's permission for his clever move, officially started the transaction with Nagazo I-be family.

On April 1, 1574, Shikoku Island Tosa Kosa Toyo Castle.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Nakamura was standing on the wall of Minomaru, supervising the transport team to transport a batch of equipment and ordnance into Okatoki Castle. This was the ninth batch in this month. Like the previous eight batches, they were transported from the sea through Sakaimachi ships. They pretended to sail to the Kii waterway, but in fact they made a big circle away from the surveillance of the Awaji Water Force, and went around to Tosa Bayonto-6, and sent the equipment produced by the Military Industry Department continuously over.
Nakamura's media learned that after the Military Industry Department completed a huge equipment order, the idle skilled workers were temporarily rented out by the bosses for signing a contract. Therefore, the ninth batch of equipment was also the last batch to support Tosako - the number must be enough, with nearly 7 ooo people, which is enough to make the ratio of the auxiliary soldiers of the 1 ooooo army of Tosako to reach 2:1. When fighting in the local area, such a ratio is not bad.
Nakamura is a veteran of Chang Panbei, and one of the more than 200 slaves who followed Yu Qiuping from Zhilicheng. Until now, the more than 200 old brothers and survivors were only 100. However, these people have basically become the backbone of Yu Qiu's family. Those who are still in the Red Leaf Army have basically achieved the rank of lieutenant officers or above, and are the core forces of the Red Leaf Army. Those who retire due to injuries or age will seek their opinions. Those who still want to stay in the military system will go.
Working instructors, logistics, management and other positions; those who want to retire will be assigned to acting officials and judges. Now the core forces in these systems are also composed of old brothers. The merchants in the Congress call this force the "Imakawa faction" and are regarded by them as the strong faction that is most loyal and capable to Yu Qiuping. Although this term seems a bit bad, the old brothers secretly take pride in being a member of the "Imakawa faction".&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Nakamura was a veteran who retired after the Mihimachi War. He was a little older than Fukushima Ansei and was no longer suitable to be a middle-level officer. However, many of the veterans who retired with him were sent to Tosa. However, their identities were not officers of the Red Leaf Army, but military advisers hired by the presidents of the Congress. Although Oda Nobunaga agreed to Yuqiuhei to secretly support Nagatozo's Motogen, he firmly refused to allow Yuqiu's family to participate in the war. Therefore, Nakamura's tactful identity had to enter Tosa with such a tactful identity.
The congressional merchants provided high loans to Nagazo Ibu family, but if this investment wanted to get a return, the prerequisite was that the Nagazo Ibu family would repel the Mihao family and defend Tosa. Therefore, the congressional merchants attached great importance to this battle, worried that if Nagazo Ibu family was defeated, their money would be wasted. Therefore, the congressional merchants hired many veterans to let them enter Tosa with the fleet. On the one hand, they should teach Nagazo mybu family how to use these equipment, and on the other hand, they should help the command of Nagazo Ibu family.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Meanwhile, Sakaimachi.
Yuqiuhira stood on the hill beside Sakaicho, looking down at the landscape of Sakaicho. When he first met Sakaicho a few years ago, the prosperity of this port city had already surprised him. Now, Sakaicho is far from the past, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most prosperous city in Japan. Outside the original castle, a large circle of square factories was built, just like a row of building blocks. There are workshops that produce daily necessities, textiles, and furniture, porcelain, etc., which are lined up and arranged densely around Sakaicho. Outside these factories, there are temporary residences for hired workers. Compared with the neat factories, these temporary residences seem much shabby, with chaotic gravel shapes.
There are many workers from Hanoi, Izumi and even Kinki living here. Many of them are refugees who are forced to leave their land due to war. For decades, the war has flew in Kinki, and tens of thousands of displaced refugees. In recent years, they have been increasingly attracted to Sakaicho's factories. And some are the leaders of the Yuqiu family who will come here to work during the slack farming and go home to farm during the busy farming season. Every time the slack farming and busy farming seasoning switch, Sakaicho is like an ants moving, with a vast flow of people. Imai Soku saw business opportunities and set up a large transportation company to transport the workers who come and go.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
This prosperous light industry all began with a suggestion by Yu Qiuping a few years ago: It is good for the bosses to have so much money, and it is good to go to trade all day long, but why not try to open more factories by themselves? Yu Qiuping didn't expect that his unintentional conversation would actually cause Sakaimachi's factories to double in a few years. The bosses quickly tasted the sweetness of investing in factories, which brought far more benefits than simple trade. The increase in the boss's income also allowed Yu Qiu's family to obtain huge taxes, which was enough to support Yu Qiu's large-scale expenditures in recent years.
Yu Qiuping stared at the prosperous Sakaimachi with a little forgetfulness. It was the charm of industry. Although they were all labor-intensive light industrial workshops, they only used the assembly line technology introduced by Yu Qiuping, and there were no machines in later generations, but Yu Qiuping still saw the vigorous vitality.
"Your Highness will not think that those merchants are still gentle mothers**? Stay obediently in the chicken coop and lay eggs for the master." Amano Keid, who was standing behind Yu Qiuping, looked at Yu Qiuping's intoxicated look and woke up in a cold voice, "They are not chickens, but eagles, and birds of prey. They only stare at interests, and will attack them desperately for this. The reason why they dare not disobey Your Highness is because the wings of the eagle have not yet grown hard. When their power takes shape, Yu Qiu's family will probably have to become their pawns. Your Highness will not prepare early?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"How could it be that exaggerated?" Yu Qiuping was slightly stunned and looked at Amano Keidu in surprise. This was not because Amano Keidu said something sensational, but because he accurately predicted the results of the development of things.
