Yiyin subconsciously pinched the stack of documents in his hand and casually placed them on the small-leaf red sandalwood desk beside him, still in disbelief.
A total of two million dan, where did Takada Yono get so much money and food? It's not that Yiyin doesn't believe in Takada Haruno's ability, it's just that the number is too big and unbelievable.
The total annual output of the entire island country is only 20 million dan. Takada Yono is equivalent to squandering one-tenth of the world's food output for Yiyin.
It's like someone in Yiyin's previous life, on a certain day, year, and month, suddenly threw a banknote equivalent to one-tenth of a year's gross national product in front of Yiyin, and casually said, "I'll support you."
This is no longer a question of belief or disbelief, but a matter of shock and confusion that subverts three views.
Yiyin calmed down and asked.
"How did you get these two million shi of military expenses?"
Takata Yono said calmly.
"In fact, this is not difficult. I just relied on the majesty of the king and performed a trick."
Yiyin said a little irritably.
"Say, make it clear."
Takada Yono smiled.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the three new economic plans that Mr. Ishida Mitsunari conveyed to me?"
"of course I remember."
“Originally, the three new economic plans were planned gradually, paving the way slowly over several years.
But just because Shiba Oda was at odds with each other and the war was about to begin, forcing everyone to take sides, this gave me a wonderful opportunity.
You have been in the game for seven years and have been undefeated. Even if your opponent this time is the powerful Oda family, it is hard to believe that you will lose.
Since you don't think you will lose, people will naturally come to your side, such as Master Xianru and shareholders like Hokuriku Trading Road.
Even the old Owari officials of the Oda family had to consider leaving a way out.
Therefore, things that could not be discussed before can now be discussed. The panic among people was a God-given opportunity, so I accelerated three new economic plans. "
Looking at the triumphant Takada Harano, Yoshihiro secretly thought of a profiteer.
Since ancient times, peace and order have been stable, and it is most difficult to get rich suddenly. If you want to get rich overnight, you must do it when the social order is fluctuating.
Such as warlords fighting, such as reform and opening up, order changes are a nightmare for ordinary people, but it is a paradise for adventurers. This is what the so-called war wealth and national distress wealth mean.
Originally, in peacetime, everyone would do business according to their wishes. However, the three new economic plans of the Spo family were actually quite greedy and ugly. If you want people to accept them, you can only slowly negotiate and adjust them.
But now that the War of Shiba Oda is about to break out, many economic affairs are not conducted in the way of peacetime negotiations.
During the war, the first thing to consider is to survive, and the second is to make money. Just like the master is willing to sacrifice economic interests in exchange for the Shiba family to forcefully attack the Oda family.
Takada Haruno is backed by the Shiba family. As long as everyone does not think that Yiyin will lose, they will naturally place a bet on Takada Haruno. Takada Yono simply relied on this and accelerated three new economic plans.
Anyway, everyone is thinking about survival issues at this time, and they can only hold their noses and tolerate some of Takada Haruno's financially over-the-line actions.
Yiyin sighed.
"Even if you can use the war to poach people and take advantage, it's still impossible to dig out a huge sum of two million stones, right?"
Takada Yono covered his mouth and smiled.
"Your Majesty, you underestimate Yang Nai. Of course Yang Nai can dig two million stones.
The core of the three new economic plans is the monetization of food stamps. As long as the market recognizes Spo's food stamps and is willing to exchange food for the paper I print, theoretically I can mine all the supplies in the island country.
As for the securitization of trade routes and the financialization of land, it is nothing more than finding a legitimate reason for me to start the printing press of food stamps.
Last year, the logistics scale of the Hokuriku Expressway reached 4 million guan, and the net profit from various income from towns, warehouses, ports, cargo shares and other operations along the route could reach 10%, which is 400,000 guan.
After negotiating with the shareholders, I reached an agreement to complete the share price conversion of Shanglu Securitization at the price of one share in my hands.
Then I announced to the outside world that from now on the dividends of the Hokuriku Trading Road will be distributed uniformly, and the net profit earned every year will be used for dividends, and it will not be less than 50%.
Based on last year's ratio, that is, the net profit of four million shares is 400,000 yuan, and the cash dividend is no less than 200,000 yuan.
When a small household buys one share of Hokurikudo Trading Co.'s stock, the cash dividend is 50%. Theoretically, it takes ten years for stocks to pay back their capital, and it takes twenty years for dividends to be paid back in cash.
These are troubled times, and the lives of many people are precarious. Long-term high-quality assets with fixed dividends, such as the Hokuriku Road Trading Road, will of course be snapped up by businessmen, nuns, and samurai with spare cash.
Of course, the premise is that everyone thinks that you are invincible, the Shiba family is prosperous, and the Hokurikudo trade route can last for at least twenty years. "
Yiyin nodded.
"Then, you sold the Shiba family's stock in the Hokurikudo Trading Road in exchange for money and food, and scraped together the two million dan?"
Takada Yono shook his head.
"Your Majesty still underestimates me. The Shiba family's 20% stake in the Hokuriku Trade Road is my key to controlling the Hokuriku Trade Road. How can I give it away so easily?
I just joined forces with the major shareholders to suspend this year's trade route dividends and debt interest on the grounds that the Shiba-Oda dispute might lead to the severance of the Hokurikudo trade route.
Then the news was released to the outside world that the Hokuriku Road Trading Road would continue to expand this year and could reach a large market of five million guan.
Due to the turmoil in the current situation, we had no choice but to stagnate for a year. When the war subsides next year, the size of the Hokuriku Road trade route will not be the four million guan last year, but 5 million guan.
As a result, rumors spread in the market, saying that the Hokurikudo Trading Road was now undervalued and a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity. If you don't buy it now, wait until later.
Then, I will join forces with the major shareholders, estimate the market size of 5 million guan next year, privately issue 1 million guan of Hokuriku Doro stock to shareholders, and unite everyone to sell in the market.
These newly added stocks were wildly sought after in the market and were quickly sold out. Our Shiba family occupied 20% of the Houriku Road trade route, so we were relieved to be safe.
By the way, Ishiyama Honganji Temple owns about 10% of the shares in Hokurikudo Trading Road, and apparently the Master also received corresponding proceeds from the additional issuance. "
Yi Gin gasped when he heard this, Takada Haruno was so good at playing, this was a completely empty trick.
It is predicted that the Hokuriku Road Trade Route will have a scale of 5 million yuan next year, so this year we will first sell next year's additional shares. This logic is too bastard.
Takada Yono had discussed with Yoshino before that the upper limit of the Hokuriku Road trade route was about five million guan.
After that, the growth of the trade route market will become slower and slower, which is why she is eager to launch three new economic plans to find new economic growth points in the future.
Because the gold mine of Hokurikudo Trading Road is almost over, without high growth, Takada Haruno can no longer continue to trick new funds into playing, and continue to play the trick of demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall.
Even with a size of 5 million, Hokuriku Doro is still a cash cow that continues to provide dividends, but it is destined to be unable to reproduce its previous rapid growth.
Therefore, Takada Yono joined forces with the major shareholders to dig a hole this time, digging out the potential prospects of the Hokuriku Road trade route at once and leaving it to the small players in the market to pay the bill.
The more growth that small investors expect does not exist, because the market has come to an end at 5 million yuan. The newly purchased stocks in their hands are just long-term dividends, and it is difficult to get more returns.
The major shareholders were happy to cooperate with Harano Takada in the additional issuance. They held every stock in their hands and received 25% more cash for nothing. Isn't this just magic?
As for stock dilution and dividend reduction, major shareholders should not be worried.
Because Takada Haruno can lead them to trick a small household once, there will always be a way to trick them a second time and a third time in the future. If everyone cooperates and cuts leeks repeatedly, the cooperation will be very happy.
It’s no wonder that when Yi Gin was at Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Master Xianru patted his chest and said that he would provide full material support, and money and food were thrown out without blinking an eye.
It turns out that these money and grains were conjured out of thin air. It seemed like the Master was generous to others, so naturally he didn't feel bad.
Yoshihiro glanced at Takada Harano. This girl was self-taught and understood modern finance.
She led the major shareholders to play additional issuances. The major shareholders were happy when they got the money, and the small shareholders were also happy when they got the stocks. Everyone felt that they had made a profit, and everyone looked forward to a bright future.
So the question is, who loses? This is the power of financial magic.
Yiyin sighed.
"You are capable of poaching 200,000 yuan out of thin air."
Takada Yono chuckled.
"Your Majesty, I have dug up more than 200,000 yuan.
Don’t forget, after the monetization of food stamps, the stocks of the Hokuriku Trading Road were bought and sold with food stamps. Without food stamps, there is no qualification to buy or sell stocks.
The additional one million kong will all be traded in the form of food stamps, which means I can print at least two million kong of new food stamps and enter the market.
Because of their strong value, food stamps have been exchanged for one for two in the market. One stone of food stamps can be exchanged for two stones of brown rice.
Because the Battle of Shiba Oda was about to begin, the originally stable exchange of copper coins for grain, which had always been two stones of brown rice for copper coins, began to fluctuate violently again.
The latest copper coin to grain exchange ratio is close to one to one.
Anyone who wanted to buy stocks in the Hokurikudo Trading Route must first exchange four kuans of copper coins for four shi of grain, and then exchange four shi of grain for two shi of grain coupons.
Finally, you can use the two-stone food stamps to exchange for two-stone Hokuriku Doro stock, which is a stock with a consistent face value.
Therefore, the additional one million guan of Hokuriku Dosho stock I issued is actually worth 4 million guan, and the Shiba family's 20% is 800,000 guan.
Moreover, our Sibo family has a separate copper coin and grain exchange agreement with friendly forces. The purchase price is constant at the same copper coin and two stones of brown rice, and is not affected by market fluctuations.
Therefore, from this amount alone, I earned 1.6 million shi in military expenses.
Of course, it is actually impossible for me to purchase 1.6 million stones of grain. That would drain the friendly forces’ territorial grain reserves, and they are unwilling to do so.
But not all military expenditures include food, armaments, armor, animal power, labor, and rewards, all of which can be paid out in the form of copper coins.
In addition, the purchase fee for the first phase of Shiba Real Estate has been finalized, and most of the payers came from the old warrior family in Owari.
These old ministers of Oda were very worried that the Oda family would be defeated and they would lose everything. So they are all willing to put a sum of money on my side as insurance, about one hundred thousand yuan.
I'm not polite. According to the rules, food stamps must be used for Sibo real estate transactions. After a lot of trouble, I exchanged it for another 400,000 shi.
These two incomes add up to a military expenditure of two million koku. The specific accounts are in the document before your case. I believe that this money and food will be enough to support the consumption of the war with the Oda family.
Due to the large demand for food stamps driven by the securitization of trade routes and the financialization of land, Sibo food stamps are already in short supply on the market.
I have already printed two million shi of food stamps, so I don’t care about printing another two million shi of food stamps.
Anyway, there is going to be a war soon. During the war, logistics is cut off, food cannot be transferred, and the business of exchanging food stamps in the granary will be temporarily frozen.
No matter how many food stamps I print at this time, it will not cause a run on the granary. At most, the value of the food stamps will fall due to the excessive issuance of food stamps.
But as long as you defeat the Oda family, everyone will trust the intrinsic value of Shiba's food stamps more, and I can calmly deal with the indiscriminate food stamps and slowly eliminate hidden dangers.
Therefore, if the two million stone military expenditure is exhausted and the war has not stopped, I will try my best to raise another few million stone military expenditure for your Majesty. "
Yiyin shook his head and lamented that money was issued indiscriminately during the war and the economy was depressed after the war. Isn't this the scene after the First World War in the previous life?
he said.
"No need, I just want to fight with Oda Nobunaga to prevent her from bullying the Shiba family. I don't want to destroy the Oda family.
Two million shi of military expenditure is enough to support a war.
Yang Nai, you have done very well, and there is no need to completely drain your economic potential to avoid leaving hidden dangers in the future. "
Qian Zhuang is a coward, whether he is the boss or the grandson, if he doesn't have money, he just can't stand up straight.
Takada Harano's business talent and financing ability have taken her to a new level in the hearts of Yoshino Bank, making her an indispensable economic champion for the Shiba family.
Yiyin understood.
The competition between the Shiba family and the Oda family is not only military, but also a full-scale political confrontation, which requires a lot of economic power.
Militarily, he must have the military expenditure to go to war with Oda Nobunaga and confirm his undefeated position before he can be qualified to talk to Oda Nobunaga on an equal footing.
Politically, he needs to fight against the tyranny of Oda Nobunaga with his royal approach, establish a paradise in the Shiba Territory, and use the posture of a beacon of the samurai family to unite the samurai class to move closer to him.
The flexible innovation of Yiyin, which distributes profits to the lower classes of the samurai family and protects the overall interests of the samurai family, is far more popular with the samurai family than the radical innovation of Oda Nobunaga who centralized power with an iron fist and improved the status of civilians.
This is a protracted war, and for a long-term confrontation with the Oda family, the most important thing is money, food, and economic strength.
Oda Nobunaga was not born a snobbery. She concentrated power and squeezed the territory with an iron fist in order to get more money and food to support her huge army to conquer the world.
Yiyin wants to follow the kingly path and throw out various benefits as if they are free. In fact, it costs more than Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga spent money to build the Oda family's army, and Yoshihiro spent money to make the Shiba family live a better life. The two sides exerted political influence in different ways, but the essence was to waste money.
With the help of Takada Haruno's superb financial skills, Yi Bank has the confidence to compete economically.
Finance does not create wealth, but it can transfer wealth. Financial means are more concealed than military means of plunder and are less likely to cause resentment.
Oda Nobunaga massacred Minami Omi and burned Mount Hiei, making himself infamous.
However, the amount of money and food that the Oda family stole back with their notoriety was definitely not as much as what Takada Yono had stolen through the three new economic plans.
Takada Yono led the major shareholders to cut off the leeks of the small shareholders through trade route securitization. Then by issuing food stamps to collect seigniorage, another wave of shareholders, large and small, were harvested.
She also used the financialization of land to gain another handful of the wealth that the Oda retainers had worked so hard to rob of Minami Omi and Mount Hiei.
Takada Harano's scythe is so sharp that even Yoshiyin was shocked. What a talent.
