In mid-October 1565, Ishiyama Honanji Castle besieged in January.

Jin Sen Changjin presented the account book, 'Lord, this is a list of my family's income and expenditure in September. Please check it.'

When I opened the account book, I saw something wrong with one leg of Yasuo Shizhouzhai standing in the tent, "Shizhouzhai, did you sprain your ankle?"

Yanagi Sonyan raised his right foot and shook it hard, 'My lord, it's a cramp.'

‘Leg cramps, are there any symptoms of back pain?’

Sonyan Yayoi tried his waist and back, ‘Yes, lord.’

‘This is calcium deficiency, so you have to supplement it.’

Maeda Kyoji interjected and said, "Master, I think it's too much sexual intercourse." Yagyu Soryan glared at Maeda Kyoji.

I shook my head, 'It must be calcium deficiency. Look at me, there are many women all night, so why don't I get cramps, waist and legs hurt? The answer is that we have been supplementing calcium since we were young. And it's a supplement three times a day. Scarf, go and tell the kitchen to smash the whale bones and take out the bone marrow to add vegetables to your brother.'

‘Yes, Your Highness.’

As soon as Maeda Kyoji saw the doctor, he had something good to eat, and his limbs began to twitch, 'Your Highness, I'm also cramping.'

'Qingji, your calcium deficiency is very serious. Wait for a while. Remember to let the kitchen grind the crushed whale bones into powder and make soup for Qingji. This way it will be done faster.'

‘Uh.’ Seeing Maeda Keiji eating coptis chinensis, Ishi Zhouzhai smiled.

Seeing that the calcium deficiency symptoms of Maeda Kyoji were cured without treatment, I focused on the account book again. The old business still made money. It was just because of the limitations of sales channels and purchasing power. The business profits of iron cannons and whales were enclosed in a rough range. Except for the whale business that will rise sharply during the New Year holiday, the profits in other months are almost the same. Short-term arbitrage grain transactions also made a lot, but after all, it was short-term.

The new growth points of our economy are glassware and Danma Jinshan. Although the production of glassware has just been relaxed, the steadily growing profits in the past two months have confirmed that this thing has great prospects and markets. Moreover, glassware as a luxury product can achieve such results in the disaster year. I can only say that few of these names on the island love the people as much as their children. However, all the gold and silver mountains of Malaysia started construction in August, and the profits during this period can only be said to be more expensive than opening a hospital. Why do you say that opening a hospital instead of robbing a bank? It's very simple. The robbers have arrived at the bank now and have not yet taken out their guns. The security guard: "Receive the number first." Then get the number obediently, and it will be your turn in two hours.

The biggest expense in my family is military expenses, followed by shipbuilding expenses at Hewu Port. Compared with these two huge expenses, the daily start of my family and the research expenses of new technologies are nothing.

I pointed to the only negative income and expenditure in the industrial chain and asked, ‘Is the newspaper industry still losing money?’

Jinson Nagamin replied, 'Yes, lord. The daily sales of newspapers are now around 3,000. The monthly expenses are 90 guan, while the expenditures are about 150 guan. They are not enough to make ends meet. They lose 50 guan every month, and their subordinates are incompetent.' This profit is based on Oda Nobunaga's free sending of ninjas to deliver newspapers. If I send ninjas to deliver them myself, I will not be able to get them away. Of course, the compensation is also for others to read. If the advertisements in the newspaper are all subject to advertising fees, I think I will still have a lot of profit, but the newspapers are full of advertisements from my family. Isn't this a matter of being left-handed and right-handed?

‘It’s not your fault, this thing is a little bit ahead. I forgot that most people are illiterate. Who are the people who buy newspapers now?’

‘Samurai, monk, merchant.’

‘Yeah.’ After listening to Jinson’s recent report, I thought for a while, ‘Have you tried selling newspapers?’

‘Selling?’ Jinsen asked, ‘Do you want to find some merchants and force them to buy it?’

‘Don’t tell me about such a tasteless thing next time. I’m not an urban management officer. You can try it first, find some literate people and give newspapers for half a month. People have the habit of reading newspapers. After reading the newspapers they send every day, they will develop the habit of reading newspapers. The sales volume is too small now. It’s not that there are only 3,000 people on the island to read, but that everyone has not yet developed the habit of reading newspapers. I think there will be no less than 30,000 people who know literacy in Kinki.’

‘Lord, I understand.’ Jinsen bowed and bowed.

‘Take it slow, don’t hurry.’ I looked at the fraction of the balance of income and expenditure on the account book, which was more than 17,000 guan. ‘From this month, the fraction of the monthly account will be kept and I will give everyone a red envelope at the end of the year. It’s almost a year, and I have worked hard.’

‘Thank you lord.’

Kinson Nagai retreated, and Ishikawa Yuemon came in.

‘It’s all clear.’ Ishikawa Yuemon brought a simple map, or blacklist, more appropriate. ‘These those who have drawn a fork will definitely join the villages that have ended with the Honanji family, and those who have drawn a circle will definitely not join the Honanji family.’

‘Circle and fork? Hehe. What is this?’ I pointed to several triangles on the map.

Ishikawa Yuemon took a look and said, "Oh, these triangles are fence-skinned and have a relatively ambiguous attitude. They also paid the annual rent of the Oda family, but they also secretly supported Yixiangsong."

‘How is this possible?’ I asked, ‘Although the annual rent of Oda’s family has not been very high, the remaining food is enough to fill the stomach. They will also have food support for Yixiangsong?’

‘Cough cough.’ Ishikawa Wuyoumon explained, ‘Lord, you don’t know how much land there is in a village and how much land rent should be paid for annual land. This is to be inspected to know. The last land inspection in Kinki was probably the era of Ashikaga Yoshiman. It has been more than a hundred years since then. The wastelands cultivated by cunning farmers over the past hundred years do not have to pay the land rent and annual land. In the valleys, there are large areas of wastelands by the streams that have been reclaimed into farmland. Open the tatami of the farmers’ houses, and there are large bills of rice, noodles, salt, wine, sauce, vinegar, and tea hidden under them. Ohashi was inspected by His Highness Nobunaga, and the farmers’ income is less than that in Kinki.’

Actually, there are everything in the farmhouse. I suddenly thought of this sentence. I nodded, "I understand, no wonder those who have been taxed 60% or 70% of the heavy taxes can still survive. Your Highness Nobunaga should know it too?"

'Everyone's heart was like a mirror, but His Highness Nobunaga had mastered Kinki for a long time and was not stable enough to rule, and he didn't have time to investigate the territory.' Ishikawa Wuyoumon thought to himself that this lord was too, he understood the big things and was not confused about the small things, but he just had to tell some common sense issues.

‘Come and reinforcements, too?’

Ishikawa Yuemon leaned on the ground, "All have arrived, five hundred feet, three hundred ninja troops, and gunpowder has also been brought."
