Mikami Momo was worried that Yua Kito had a strong temper and would one day discover the truth, report the whole matter, and turn the Kanto Secretariat upside down.
But she didn't know that maybe things would have gone awry before Yuya Kito reported it.
In Miao'an Temple under Odawara Castle, the four nuns - Yu Xin of Miaoan Temple, Shang Hui of Sanguang Temple, Zhehuang of Wuliang Temple, and Kai Xin of Yanglin Temple - looked at each other, eager to find a way to pass.
Yanglin Temple opens a new path.
"I told you a long time ago! You should keep more money and food in your books just in case! But no one listened to me!
What should we do now? What to do? "
Sanguangji Shanghui sneered.
"When I reached out to get the money, I didn't see you saying anything about it being hot. What's wrong? Now you think about it and complain?"
The two of them glared at each other angrily, and Miao'an Temple Yu Xin slapped the document and shouted.
"Okay, stop saying a word. No one wants to see this kind of accident happen. Instead of blaming each other, why not say a few useful words!
We are all grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens, we will die together. What is there to argue about? It is really important to help make an idea! "
Wuliang Temple Zhehuang put his hands together, shouted the Buddha's name, and had a grimace on his face.
"The people in the East rebelled, and the warehouses and granaries set up by the Kanto Palace in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River were opened to fully supply the needs of the rebels and support the war effort of the central government.
Now that the war is over and the warehouses have been emptied, both the practice center and the Samurai Giri Promotion Association need to replenish supplies and refill the warehouses.
The money and food are all there in the accounts, but those are just figures to deceive the nobles. The real money has already been invested in Sakai Port's food stamps, Hokuriku stocks, and Shiba real estate from various channels.
The money will not be returned for a while. If it really breaks the contract and comes back, we will not be able to account for the compensation for breach of contract and the loss of interest to those greedy guys who are waiting to share the money.
I originally thought that there would be new loans every month and every quarter, so there would be no problem with cash flow.
But who would have thought that the people in the East would dare to rebel against the saint. Who would have thought that Mr. Daxiong Chaoxiu and Mr. Dazang Changan would dare to fully open positions.
The warehouses are now empty, and the superiors have ordered funds to be mobilized to purchase supplies and replenish the warehouses.
Our cash flow is simply not enough. If we can't give the above a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion.
Although our accounts are cleverly done, they still cannot withstand the scrutiny of interested parties, and we rely on help from all parties to cover them up.
What if someone from above sees the clues and finds out the problem? . "
This accident was something the four nuns had never imagined.
You said that the people in the East know that the saints are wise and powerful, why do they want to rebel and seek death? It is obvious that the rebels accepted the call of the saint and gathered together for righteousness. Why did Da Xiong Chaoxiu and Da Zang Changan rush to show their faces?
The Enforcement Office and the Samurai Giri Promotion Association jumped out to compete to see who could burn more money. As a result, the stocks originally prepared for water conservancy projects in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River basin were all turned into military supplies.
Fighting means burning money. Where can we compare the consumption rate of water conservancy construction?
Besides, who doesn’t like free stuff? The rebels passed by the warehouse and saw that they were taking things casually. Naturally, not even a piece of straw paper was left behind.
The battle had only lasted for more than twenty days, and most of the rebels had never actually been on the battlefield. Their military achievements were better than nothing. At most, they had a false reputation as a righteous soldier, but they took away nothing from the warehouse.
After all, they are righteous people who came to fight for the saints. Would the Samurai Giri Promotion Association be embarrassed to take back the things they moved from the warehouse?
Even if most of the rebels didn't win the battle and didn't receive any rewards, they were still waving flags and shouting for the saints, so they had to reimburse their travel expenses back and forth, right?
At this time, money and money must be compared, which is not conducive to unity. The saint will be unhappy if he knows about it.
Daxiong Chaoxiu and Dazang Changan competed for money to show their loyalty. Isn't it just for the saints to see? How could Dazang Changan lose the chain at the last moment?
It is impossible to get back the materials taken by the rebels, but the warehouses are reserve resources placed by the Wu Family Giri Promotion Association in various places and must be replenished. The money and food to replenish the warehouses will of course be cashed out of the accounts.
As a result, the four nuns who controlled the accounts were frightened.
All the money went to Sakai Port Takata Harano to earn interest. The figures on the books could not be cashed out, but the empty warehouse had to be filled, otherwise it would not be justified.
The numbers on the accounts can fool you, whether the warehouse is full or empty, but you can tell at a glance. Even if you want to play tricks like burning the warehouse with fire dragons and borrowing food from Yin soldiers, the premise is that the warehouse must be full.
The granary that is full on the accounts can be burned down, but who knows if it was originally full or empty?
However, now that the empty warehouse needs to be filled, how can we perform something out of nothing in front of the public?
Now the four nuns who were in charge of the accounts were worried to death. They were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, not knowing how to deal with this situation.
Miao'an Temple Yu Xin gritted his teeth and said something.
"Actually, there is no way. It just requires taking some risks. It depends on whether you are willing to cooperate with me."
Sanguang Temple Shang Hui smiled bitterly.
"It's already this time. If you still talk about risks or not, just raise your head with a knife and shrink your head with a knife. If you have a way, just speak up quickly."
Miao'an Temple Yu Xin said with a gloomy expression.
"The saint had a very unhappy time with His Highness Uesugi Takeda in Furukawa City. Do you know about this?"
Wuliang Temple Zhehuang nodded.
"How could you not know? It has already caused a fuss.
The saint didn't know what he was thinking. The people from the East rebelled and raided the ancient river city, almost trapping the saint in the city. After that, they even fought against each other.
Now that they have lost and surrendered, the saint not only doesn't care about it, but also speaks for them and asks the various lords of the Kanto Palace to raise funds to relieve the possible famine in the four eastern countries after autumn.
You say that the people in the East are looking for death. They raise armies and rebel during the busy season of spring plowing. Even if people starve to death after autumn, it is still asking for mercy and getting mercy.
The various families in the Kanto Imperial Palace wished that the people in the East would suffer from famine and that the strength of the four Eastern countries would be weakened so that they could merge and manage them in the future.
Who knows that the saint is kind and can't bear to see the four eastern countries starved to death and corpses scattered in the fields, so he insists on helping each other in the Guandong service station and providing money and food to relieve the enemy.
Not to mention that His Highnesses Uesugi and Takeda are not convinced about this matter, I can't figure it out even if it's left to me. "
Yu Xin of Miao'an Temple clasped his hands together and said Amitabha.
"We monks should be compassionate and saints are kind. We need to understand more. How can we say we can't figure it out?"
Wuliang Temple Zhehuang was scolded, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and cursed in his heart, "You wait for everyone to have a solemn appearance and kind eyes, but it seems that I don't practice Buddhism, don't abide by the Buddha's heart, and am greedy."
We are obviously telling the truth behind closed doors and discussing solutions, but why do we insist on pretending to be compassionate at this moment? Bah! Extremely hypocritical!
Miao'an Temple Yuxin glanced at Wuliang Temple Zhehuang, who had a stiff expression, and explained.
"I didn't mean to embarrass you. This is the saint showing us a way to survive."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"The saint and His Highness Uesugi Takeda are standing in Furukawa City, and no one is willing to compromise, but this matter has to be resolved. Delaying it too late will not be good for everyone.
That is to say, the Uesugi Takeda family had an unusual status and raised a god descendant in their family. Only then did they dare to fight against the saint. If it were others, they would have been killed a long time ago. "
"This is so urgent. Can you stop being so pretentious? I'm all ears and you can just get to the point!"
“Okay, okay, I said that’s it.
Counterpart assistance is the will of the saints and cannot be changed. However, the families of the Guandong Servants are not at fault, so why should they take the blame for the sinners in the East?
The crux of the matter lies in this.
I heard that His Highness Hojo Ushimasa is going to Kawagoe Castle and invites the Uesugi Takeda family governors to meet to coordinate this matter. "
Wuliang Temple Zhehuang was stunned.
"How can His Highness Hojo have such dignity? Let His Highnesses Uesugi Takeda visit Kawagoe Castle?"
Miao'an Temple Yu Xin chuckled.
“It didn’t happen before, but now it does.
Her Highness Hojo was pregnant. Even if His Highnesses Uesugi and Takeda refused to give her face, they would still go to Kawakoshi Castle for the sake of the divine descendant in her belly.
After all, His Highness Hojo is pregnant with the divine descendants of a saint, and he still has to run around as a peacemaker. This courtesy must be given.
The crux of the problem is not this, but that His Highness Hojo Ushimasa had already talked with the people of Kamakura Gozan before setting off, and it was quite fruitful. "
There was a movement on Hui's face at Sanguang Temple.
"You mean to say that His Highness Hojo asked Kamakura Gozan to be responsible for the funds, and the counterpart assistance does not necessarily require the Kanto Palace to provide money and food. It can be in the form of a loan?
Does His Highness Hojo Umasa want to use this trump card to negotiate with the Uesugi Takeda family governors to mediate the deadlock between the saint and the Kanto Palace? "
Miao'an Temple Yu Xin smiled.
"Exactly.
Each family in the Kantō service office provided a guarantee of their reputation, and Kamakura Gozan provided money and grain to lend to the people of the East. After the famine this autumn, the people of the East will naturally repay the money, food and interest themselves.
Since then, the crisis of the great famine after the Autumn has been eliminated, the saint is satisfied, and the families in the Kanto Palace have no real losses. Since the people of the East have made mistakes, they can shoulder them on their own shoulders. "
Hui pats the case in Sanguang Temple.
"Okay! Kill three birds with one stone!"
Miao'an Temple Yu Xin said.
"Not only killing three birds with one stone, His Highness Hojo helped all the families in the Kanto Palace pass smoothly through this matter, so that the saint could step down with dignity. Who wouldn't think of her good?"
Wuliangsi Zhehuang was a little confused.
"That's good, but after all, what does it have to do with our current predicament?"
Yanglin Temple's Kaixin laughed heartily as he listened, pointed at Wuliang Temple's Zhehuang and cursed with a smile.
"Don't even think about it. Kamakura Gozan loaned money and food to provide targeted assistance. How will this deal go?"
Wuliangsi Zhehuang suddenly realized.
"Come to us!"
Miao'an Temple Yu Xin sneered.
“The Tokōni of Kamakura Gozan are very proud of themselves. They don’t want to come to the front desk and be tainted by the smell of copper, and let people see their rentier faces. Naturally, the dirty work is left to us.
Wushan has hundreds of years of accumulation and a mountain of money. No matter how big the loan amount is, they can absorb it.
We just need to do more spending, increase the total number of loans a little bit, and use the extra part to replenish the warehouses in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River to get through. "
Wuliangsi Zhehuang bared his teeth and sucked in the cold air.
"It's not just a little extra. It's a huge amount of money to fill up the warehouses in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River."
Miao'an Temple Yu Xin said coldly.
“No matter how much money and food we have, we have to make up for it, otherwise we will wash our necks together and wait for the knife!
I have already calculated that this New Year's war has wiped out this year's water conservancy project budget. I estimate that the Wujia Yili Promotion Association will slow down and there will be no more major construction projects this year.
On the other hand, loans for counterpart assistance need to be urgently received, and all of them must be in place by autumn.
We can create clever names and multiple loan items, and take part of it to supplement the warehouses in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River.
As long as the warehouse is replenishing goods, it doesn't matter if the speed is slower. Anyway, there will be no major construction this year, so there is no need to slowly replenish the goods. There will be no doubts from above, and our cash flow can be stable.
After that, new loans came in every month and every quarter, and we moved around. As long as we find a way to get through this year, when the interest and principal of Sakai Port mature, everyone will be rich. "
Several people nodded repeatedly and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they still thought too beautifully.
First, is the principal and interest flowing to Sakai Port really 100% okay?
They value Takada Harano's interest, and Takata Harano is a hungry wolf who wants to swallow their principal!
Secondly, as long as they do a good job of demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall, the upper management of Kanto will not be suspicious, and there is no problem with the help of interest groups within the East Palace.
But there is no problem here at the Kanto Palace. What does Kinki say? Hansawa Naoyoshi encountered a problem with Takada Harano in Sakai Port, and was forced to stay in Tamonyama Castle for a year, feeling very angry.
When she comes out again, she will come to Kanto to check the accounts, hoping to break through the iron wall run by Takada Harano.
But Takada Yono was waiting for Hanzawa Naoyoshi to reveal the dark side in Kanto, so that he could take the opportunity to trigger a financial crisis and swallow up Kanto's funds.
Miyoshi Kiyomi, who was under Sanada Nobunaga's command, had been keeping an eye on this matter and was waiting for this opportunity to help his master carry the sedan chair to the holy bed.
As for Kito Yua, the fierce girl who is starting a movement, what if she finds out about the scheming of Mikami Momo and the Kanto Shiso interest group? .
Shiba Yiyin believed that his biggest trouble was the difficulty in resolving the grievances between the eastern and western parts of the Guanbazhou and integrating the Guanbazhou into one.
But he didn't know that his big trouble was yet to come.
Compared with the conflicts between the eastern and western martial arts families, the subsequent Great Purge, Reform of Thoughts, and Financial Crisis. . That's the really big, scalp-numbing trouble.
