Chapter 72

After the tired A Yuan fell asleep, I quietly opened a scroll, and four and a half red "六" were written on it. I used my fingers to dip A Yuan's blood to add a stroke to the fifth "六". As the saying goes, dripping water can penetrate stones, and there is also a saying that as long as the iron rod is deep and grinding into a needle, I am one step closer to my goal of slashing thousands of people.

Kyoto, Kinkakuji Temple.

‘The mountains are green and the rivers are far away, and the cherry blossoms are fragrant.’

‘The right minister is good at poetry, and the right minister is good at literary talent.’

After holding it under the cherry blossom tree for a long time, Oda Nobunaga made a few sentences. A group of literati and poets immediately followed behind and began to flatter, thinking about the source of the poem. I was laughing aside and didn't realize what was good about it. The revolutionary martyrs, the artistic conception in Tang and Song lyrics is much higher than this.

Oda Nobunaga nodded with relief and said to everyone with satisfaction, "Everyone will write poems too. Oda Niuchi, remember to write down everyone's poems." Oda Nobunaga saw that I was still laughing and said, "Kudo, you can also write one."

Unlucky, I was named, and I couldn't write poetry, so I could say I had to copy it again. They were more familiar with Tang and Song lyrics than me. I thought about it. There were only a few poems in spring, and even fewer could remember them. After thinking hard, I wrote the poem, "The wind and rain send spring back, and the flying snow welcomed spring. I didn't compete for spring, but I only rewarded the spring."

‘Cainu Zhengda is very literary and literary.’ A group of literati and poets immediately started taking pictures.

Looking at the group of flatterers who disapprove of their opinions, I sighed in my heart that there is indeed no market for these imperial poems.

After a while, a group of flattering literati and poets offered speeches, and Ota Niuchi had recorded more than a hundred poems.

Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, how can we publish this poem in the world?" When a group of literati saw that His Highness Tokugawa was indeed very clever and they all met.

But I don’t care. After these nonsense poems were published, we retainers had to buy them in proportion, and the toilet paper at home was settled again.

Seeing that I didn't echo, Oda Nobunaga asked, 'Kudo, what are you doing?'

‘I, I think it’s nothing to publish the poems of His Highness Right Minister, but there are only one or two poems, which is really a little less. The poems of our ministers are too different in the artistic conception, so how can we put them together with His Highness Right Minister?’

Tokugawa Ieyasu asked, 'Mr. Kudo must have a way to do it.'

‘I don’t think it’s better to run a newspaper.’

Oda Nobunaga asked curiously, ‘What is a newspaper?’

‘How to say, newspapers are the things that publish the latest news recently. Now the news we get is either through ninjas or rumors. Ninjas are limited in scope and not everyone can afford it. There are many distortions in rumors. With newspapers, everyone can get the latest news and publish some classic poems and songs. For example, today's newspaper headlines can write about the right minister, His Highness, Kinkakuji, and the cherry blossom viewing is very poetic.’

Oda Nobunaga nodded, 'It's true that you kill two birds with one stone, but you only know the matter of this newspaper, so you can do it.'

‘Yes.’ responded with a conversation, and felt secretly happy. Look, you are alike.

Everyone is not optimistic about the newspaper industry and thinks that newspapers must be something that loses money and makes a lot of money. Don’t you know that the profits are huge? Of course, it is impossible to just rely on selling newspapers, but people don’t understand the income from commercial advertising.

After enjoying the cherry blossoms, Oda Nobunaga was still unsatisfied and took a group of retainers and literati to the treasure hall of Kinkakuji Temple to open his eyes. Since General Ashikakuji Ashikakuji, the imperial court and General Muromachi donated countless treasures, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the treasure hall.

Oda Nobunaga picked up the spoils that Ashikaga Yoshiman had fought against the east and west, and asked Tokugawa Ieyasu around him, "Take Chiyo. Do you have any treasures in your Tokugawa family?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "The treasure of the Tokugawa family is the Five Hundred Comfort Women of the Tokugawa family."

Oda Nobunaga laughed, 'Kudo, what treasure does your family have?'

I thought about it and there was really nothing to boast about at home. I was not interested in those porcelains. After I got the sword and BMW, I dedicated them to Oda Nobunaga. Although the Seishum Masaru I carried was extremely sharp, it was a mainland goods and was not considered a treasure. After hesitating, I said, 'The treasure of the Kudo family is Princess Ashi.'

Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction. He led everyone to the Treasure Pavilion.

‘Kudo keep it.’ Oda Nobunaga left me alone after appreciating the treasure. After going left and right, Oda Nobunaga asked, ‘What’s going on in Kyoto this time?’

‘When my subordinates looked through the files, they found that there was a royal farm in the Danbo State. The farm was not big, with 500 stones of paddy fields and 1,500 stones of dry land. I would like to ask your Highness if he wanted to return it to the court.’

‘Your territory, you make the decision. If you want to pay it back, just send the harvest up.’

This is Oda Nobunaga who agreed to return the imperial farm, but it must be delivered to the harvest. Could it be that the Emperor would even send the emperor to conquer the peasant soldiers at my house?

'Thank you, there is one more thing. Your Highness knows that the Kudo family has some industries in Ohara. After I arrive in Tanba, these industries will also open branches in Tanba. In the middle, I think the profits are good, so I want to open some banks on His Highness's ground.'

Oda Nobunaga asked, 'This is a business matter, just do it. Is there any difference between your bank and their gold and silver dealers?'

‘There are still differences. The deposits made by money houses nowadays do not have interest, and they also have to charge a certain amount of storage fees. In addition to business transactions, everyone prefers to be buried underground or hidden at home. The bank I runs, in addition to the general gold, silver and copper coins exchange business, is to pay depositors a certain amount of money to make sure they benefit.’

‘Then you paid for it?’

‘How could I use these people’s money to invest in ocean-going business, or lend to business people to turn over.’

Oda Nobunaga thought about it and understood the mystery, ‘That is, this is profitable, but there are risks in doing ocean-going business.’

'There are definitely risks. Your Highness, look at the Southern Barbarians, aren't it for money to come here thousands of miles? It is said that the Southern Barbarians always have several times the profit when they arrive here, and the goods here return to the Southern Barbarians also have several times the profit when they return to the Southern Barbarians. In other words, there are ten times the profit when they return to so many Southern Barbarian merchant ships, and ten ships will be guaranteed as long as they go back one ship, and two ships can get twice the profit. I asked the Southern Barbarians, although pirates will lose a lot of ships and cargo along the way, most of the ships can still go back.'

Oda Nobunaga hurriedly asked, 'Then do I have any benefits?'

'This is impossible without Your Highness. In this way, the bank's investment is one million yuan, and it will be worth half of the shareholding. This is a guaranteed income. If you still want shares, your Highness will have to pay for it."

Oda Nobunaga rubbed his hands, "I have been out of money in the warehouse recently, so I have to spend half of my shareholding. The bank's profit should not be too small."

‘Don’t worry, your highness, the bank’s profits will not be too large according to my calculations, but the annual income will definitely be very stable.’
