Duowen mountain city and castle tower.
Facing Ishida Mitsunari, who was bowing to the ground and saluting, Yoshigan yawned impolitely, his face suddenly turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Ishida Mitsunari was clever, pretending to be concerned and changing the subject, helping Yoshihiro hide his unseemly appearance.
"Your Majesty, you didn't have any rest yesterday, okay?
You are the purple beam that supports the shogunate, the mainstay of Japan, and bear the expectations of all people. Please take care of your health. "
Yiyin smiled sheepishly and moved his body a little, but felt his waist was sore.
"Last night there was a bright moon in the sky and the stars were shining brightly. I couldn't help but watch the stars until dawn. It was because I didn't sleep enough that Ishida Hime laughed."
Ishida Mitsunari looked ashamed and choked up.
"Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, it's hard to get even half a day's free time. It's really an unforgivable sin for me to come to see you and disturb you."
Yiyin smiled bitterly and rubbed his thigh, what Wanji? I can't even handle it anymore.
In recent years, Maeda had nothing to do in the Spur Territory. He could only concentrate on training soldiers and horses and practicing martial arts, and his body became more and more ferocious.
Although there was no trace of beauty left by the spring breeze overnight, Yiyin still felt lingering fear in her heart, her legs were trembling, and her muscles and bones were almost torn apart by that girl.
Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and sex is like a steel knife for scraping bones. The ancients do not deceive me.
Yiyin shook his head to disperse the random thoughts in his mind, fixed his gaze on Ishida Mitsunari, and asked.
"Ishida-hime, why are you requesting to see me this time?"
Although Ishida Mitsunari's Shibachu Foundation is based in Tamonyama Castle, this is the period of war mobilization, and non-military matters will not be discussed for the time being.
It is common sense that big things are not as important as fighting.
Yoshihiro doesn't think Ishida Mitsunari can't distinguish the importance. It must be very important for her to bother her about the Shibachu Fund at this time.
Ishida Mitsunari bowed solemnly and said.
"I shouldn't have tainted your ears by talking about money transactions during the war, but I discussed with Mr. Takada Haruno and felt that this matter should not be delayed.
Mr. Takada Haruno is blocked by the war in Sakai Port. It is inconvenient to come to see you. I can only give you advice. Please forgive me. "
"Well, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"Your Majesty, the winter port closure season for the Hokuriku Road Commercial Road is approaching, and the operating income has almost been calculated.
The total market trade volume of the Hokuriku Road trade route this year is about three million guan. "
Yiyin frowned.
"Three million strings? It's a little less than what was predicted a year ago."
Ishida Mitsunari nodded.
"Hey, the trade volume predicted by Mr. Takada Haruno and I at the beginning of the year should be around 3.5 million guan, which is indeed less."
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"Is it because this year's war has dragged down the operating income that it's not ideal?"
From Oda Nobunaga's military attack on Echizen, to the tug-of-war between the Asai Asakura and Oda families in Omi Province, coupled with the many turmoils in Settsu Province, the Miyoshi family is now making great contributions to Izumi and Hanoi.
There has been no peace in the past few years. Although the Hokuriku Road trade route has investment from various parties and can operate smoothly during the war, it is still affected by the war to some extent, and it is normal for the growth rate to be slower than expected.
Ishida Mitsunari sighed.
"Takada Haruno-sama and I really want to think so, but the reality prevents us from being too optimistic.
Since the opening of the Hokuriku Dou Trading Road, the scale of the trade was about 300,000 guan in the first year, 1 million guan in the second year, 2 million guan in the third year, and 3 million guan this year.
Your Majesty, the total trade volume of the logistics market in Kanto and Kansai is about five million dollars. The growth rate of this total volume is very slow, and we dare not expect too much.
Therefore, the expansion of the Hokuriku Road trade route is probably approaching its limit. "
Ishida Mitsunari spoke frankly, and Yoshigami couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.
What Takada Yono and Ishida Mitsunari mean is that the scale of the Hokurikudo trade route is close to the total logistics trade volume of Kanto and Kansai.
Even if there is no war, the expansion rate will slow down and stagnate, and the responsibility cannot be passed on to recent wars.
Yiyin thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case.
From 300,000 yuan to 1 million yuan, it is a 200% growth rate. From one million to two million, it is a 100% growth rate. From two million coins to three million coins, it is a 50% growth rate.
Taking advantage of the collapse of the Tokaido trade route, the Hokurikudo trade route quickly accounted for 60% of the total trade volume of 5 million guan in four years.
This is a staggeringly rapid development that cannot be expected to continue in the long term. Today's Hokurikudo trade route is close to its limit and has lost its imagination of high-speed gold mining.
If we compare Hokuriku Doro Trading to a stock, it is slowly changing from a growth stock to a value stock. It is difficult to develop at a high speed and can only operate stably.
Ishida Mitsunari said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, Takada Haruno-sama has taken advantage of the Shiba family by taking advantage of the expectations of the various forces in recent times for the Hokuriku Road trade route.
If the development of the Hokuriku Road trade route slows down in the future, although everyone will not be too disappointed, it will be very difficult for the major forces to revolve around the Shiba family as they do now. "
Yiyin nodded and understood.
Just like stocks in the period of rapid growth, the market will give them a valuation that is much higher than their own value. This is investors' expectations for the future, and there are few opportunities to buy at low prices.
Therefore, investors will tend to accept high premiums at the time of purchase, hoping to absorb these premiums during rapid development and make their investments worthwhile.
The high premium that the Hokuriku Road trade route brought to the Shiba family was not only an economic benefit, but also political and military additional benefits.
Politically, Ishiyama Honganji Temple has always stood by the Shiba family, allowing Yoshigan to maintain a good relationship with the most difficult Buddhist sect, the Ichijo Sect.
The samurai family of the shogunate, and even the samurai families of recent times, have always maintained a politically friendly attitude towards the Shiba family in order to share the dividends from the Hokuriku Road trade route.
Especially since the shogunate group headed by Ise Sakyo poured dirty water on Shiba Yiyin and was kicked out of the Hokurikudo trade route by Takada Yono, fewer people would deliberately embarrass the Shiba family.
Militarily, several forces have been avoiding conflicts with the Si Bo family in recent times and are willing to use the mediation of the Si Bo family.
Because the Sibo family is helping everyone make money, they will naturally receive preferential treatment.
The purpose of fighting is to grab money, food, and territory. Who would smash their own money bags just to fight? That is a stupid thing that outweighs the gain.
The economic foundation determines the superstructure. Once the development of the Houriku Road trade route slows down and imagination is lost, the cooperation between other forces and the Shiba family may not be as harmonious as it is now.
After all, contradictions always exist.
As long as the interests are great enough, everyone can put aside their conflicts temporarily. But if the benefits diminish, the contradictions that were previously covered up will resurface.
Yiyin sighed. The slowdown in the development of the Hokuriku Road trade route was indeed a troublesome problem. But economic development is like this. It cannot maintain high speed forever. He can only accept the reality.
Takada Harano and Ishida Mitsunari were able to face this problem calmly, which gave Yoshihiro some hope for them.
"After your discussion, did you gain anything?"
Ishida Mitsunari said.
"I have discussed with Mr. Takada Haruno for a long time, and we feel that we should come up with a new development plan as early as this winter, and we must continue the expectations of recent forces for economic development.
This year, we can use the recent wars as an excuse to temporarily dispel everyone's concerns about the slowdown in the development of the Hokuriku Road trade route. But if the growth rate next year is still not ideal, everyone will lose confidence.
Therefore, I have to come to disturb you, hoping to get your support to finalize the new development plan this winter and implement it as soon as possible. "
Yiyin praised.
"Very good. It's very good that you and Takada Harano can take precautions and take the initiative to share my worries.
So what do you think about the current difficulties in the development of the Hokuriku Dou trade route? What new development plans are there to present to me? "
People who do not understand military affairs often make the mistake of underestimating logistics and military supplies. In fact, equipment depends on money, soldiers rely on pay, and elites are fed with supplies. Without money and food, there is no military.
The development of the Shiba family to this point has a lot to do with Yiyin's unintentional opening up of the Houriku Road trade route.
Countless powerful vassals of the Wu family were able to develop and dominate, all without the support of economic strength.
Such as the Koshu gold of the Takeda family and the Izu gold of the Hojo family. Their families really have mines, and Sunpu Castle, a commercial hub on the Tokaido Road, provides material transactions, so they can easily exchange for military supplies.
Uesugi Teruhu has a stronger foundation. Echigo State-owned gold and silver mines, sun-dried salt and hemp cultivation, and its economic strength is second to none in Kanto. Therefore, the Echigo samurai were well-equipped and fought bravely, making them a strong army in Kanto.
The Imagawa family occupies the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea, and Sunpu Castle was once the most important logistics hub in Kanto and Kansai, making countless money relying on the Tokaido trade route.
The Oda family controlled the trade hub of Shimo-Owari and also took a share of the Tokaido trade route. This gave Oda Nobunaga the confidence to rise.
The Miyoshi family monopolized the maritime trade in the East Seto Inland Sea, and the Rokkaku family relied on the vast plains of Omi and the waterborne trade of Lake Biwa. These two families were once the richest powerful lords in recent times.
In the final analysis, although the expansion of a powerful vassal requires the reign of an emperor, to be able to truly do great business, one must also have a solid economic fundamentals.
The Shiba clan has been wiped out long ago, and the money is completely depleted. Only the territory that Shiba received in the past few days was the 200,000 dan, which he earned through hard work fighting for the shogunate.
If it weren't for the chance to connect with the major forces on the Hokuriku Road and convince the samurai along the way, and encounter Yoshimoto Imagawa who was killed by Oda Nobunaga in a surprise attack, the Tokaido Road would be in chaos.
This Houriku Road trade route logistics line that runs through Kansai and Kanto has a large market with a trade volume of up to three million guan. How can it be so easy to succeed?
But even with the help of great opportunities, the Hokuriku Road trade route has entered a mature stage after four years of development, and there is no longer any dividend from the rapid development period for the Shiba family to take advantage of the outside world.
In the minds of the various shareholders who invested in the Hokuriku Road Trading Road, the value of a rapidly growing trade road and a mature and stable trade road are completely different.
The former is a growing gold mine, which makes everyone willing to make concessions to the Shiba family, because the rapidly developing Hokuriku Road trade route will give them more benefits.
The output of the latter is a nearly stable stock with slow growth. If the Spo family takes one more bite, others will take one less bite, and everyone's attitude naturally turns to one where every penny counts.
Originally, the Shiba family used the Hokuriku Road trade route to win over the difficult giant Ichibashi, as well as large and small shareholders who were rich in Sakai Port Kyoto and the port trading towns along the Hokuriku Road.
Yiyin's success in disasters several times, and his success even further, could not have been achieved without the sincere support of these local bosses.
Now, as the growth rate of the Hokuriku Road trade route declines, these people's attitude towards the Shiba family is likely to change. This is a big issue involving the revaluation of all aspects of politics, military and economy.
Therefore, Yi Gin hopes that Takada Harano and Ishida Mitsunari can give him a good idea.
After all, Takada Harano, a business wizard, had already given him many surprises, which made Yoshihiro unconsciously full of expectations, hoping that she could bring him another big surprise.
Ishida Mitsunari lowered his head and thought for a long time, organized his words, and spoke slowly.
"Master Takada Haruno has proposed a bold plan, divided into three projects. The specific draft of the plan is still under consideration. As long as you are interested in trying it, we will submit it to the emperor as soon as possible.
To put it simply, it is the monetization of food stamps, the securitization of trade routes, and the financialization of land. "
Yiyin frowned.
"What does Takada Yono mean?"
Takada Haruno's plan was so bold that Ishida Mitsunari didn't dare to say his name. He just blocked Takada Haruno in front and took the blame because the plan was really appalling.
Ishida Mitsunari smiled bitterly.
"It is said that Takada Haruno-sama learned some economic theory from the Nanban people at Sakai Port. It seems that in the Dutch people's hometown, everything can be financialized, securitized, and converted into currency.
That currency means money. "
Yiyin nodded.
"I know currency, and I also know finance and securities. Just tell me, what exactly does Takada Haruno want to do?"
Yiyin certainly understands the meaning of currency, finance, and securities. He lived in a modern society in his previous life, and he still has the most basic financial common sense.
But he couldn't figure out what evil ways Takada Yonai had learned from the Dutch.
The Dutch were at the forefront of the economy in this era. The first speculative activity in the world was caused by this group of red-haired devils, commonly known as the tulip bubble.
Takada Harano was very courageous and had a natural business acumen. After being prompted by the Dutch, what weird idea did she come up with?
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"I remember that the Nanman named Lilu, Agot, is the Dutch."
Ishida Mitsunari sighed.
"Your Majesty has a very good memory. He is the Dutchman who asked you for help at Sakai Port."
Yiyin nodded.
Can he not remember? Three exotic southern barbarian beauties with bulging fronts and backs were disturbed by Takada Yono without even touching them.
This superior person acts like he can't even think through a B, and sometimes I find it really boring.
Yiyin sighed.
"Not to mention the Nanman, Takada Haruno's new economic plan, the monetization of food stamps, the financialization of land, and the securitization of trade routes, what exactly does she want to do?"
In fact, Yiyin is also a little worried. Monetization, financialization, and securitization always feel like it is not a serious matter. Let's listen to what Ishida Mitsunari has to say.
