Chapter 1167: Tokugawa Iemitsu

Reform the currency system, where is such a simple thing, before Zhu Jie crossed, he was just a special soldier, just some financial theories, coupled with a little economic common sense in later generations, he dared to carry out such a huge currency reform in Daming, where is it so easy?

Even Zhu Jie now has a feeling of walking on thin ice, of course, walking on thin ice, this is the feeling, killing Zhu Jie will not show it to Li Yan and others, if he has no confidence, then these people below are even more unconfident, damn it, people are dead, let's do it first! Anyway, although the imperial court does not have real money now, Yongxing Bank has, and this matter is completely left to Yongxing Bank!

Anyway, Zhu Jie has already been deployed, the first step Yongxing Bank is to calculate first, how much gold and silver to invest in the first year to mint coins, and how much gold and silver need to be invested in the subsequent years to mint coins, and then next, but also to study the coinage process, especially the smallest copper coins, to use a small copper coin, to replace the copper coins that have been popular for thousands of years, a top hundred, I am afraid that there will be countless people who want to imitate, once the imitation is successful, it will be a thousand percent or even ten thousand percent of the super huge profits, Even if Zhu Jie ordered the counterfeiters of currency to wipe out the Nine Clans, there would still be people who would take risks.

Therefore, coinage anti-counterfeiting must be done well, which is the top priority.

Edo.

The residence of the shogunate of Japan.

In Tokugawa Iemitsu's huge living room, retainers Tadayo Sakai and Tadashi Aoyama sat on tatami mats by Tokugawa Iemitsu's side.

"General, this is Tagawa Ichiro, the patriarch of the Tagawa family, and this is Zheng Zhi'e, the brother of Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the Yiguan Party."

Tadashi Aoyama said with a smile.

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded, and asked in a deep voice: "General Ben has heard of Zheng Zhilong, twenty or thirty years ago, this person was like a meteor, rising in the East and South Seas, controlling the trade and sea routes between the East and the South Seas, and even living in East Ying for a long time, holding the Fujian Navy Division in his hands, with thousands of large and small ships, and huge power, but now Zheng Zhilong is not dead?" What did you come to Edo for? ”

Aoyama Tadashi hurriedly replied: "General, Tagawa Ichiro and Zheng Zhi'e came on behalf of Zheng Zhilong's family, and they want to seek a piece of land from the general for the Zheng family to live in, and the Zheng family is willing to pay a huge fortune to the general first......"

No profit can not be early, in order to be able to succeed, Tagawa Ichiro and Zheng Zhi'e gave Aoyama Tadashi and Sakai Tadashi millions of taels of silver in one breath, used to dot, these two people are not high and powerful in the shogunate, but it is true that Tokugawa Iemitsu's close ministers, who grew up with Tokugawa Iemitsu, Tokugawa Iemitsu is very fond of them, and there are two of them out of the horse,.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Want a piece of land to live in?" If Shogun remembers correctly, didn't the Tagawa family have three islands in the Nagasaki Domain? Isn't it enough for the Zheng family to live? ”

Aoyama Tadashi hurriedly said: "General, if it is just shelter, three islands are enough, but now that the Tagawa family and the Zheng family have taken over the blood feud with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming may send troops to attack Nagasaki at any time, and the Zheng family and the Tagawa family will be wiped out, if you want to survive, you must have enough strength to do so, now, that Tagawa Nanazaemon is the future head of the two families of the Tagawa family and the Zheng family, and the two families must keep the head of the family, and they want to compete with the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, The Tagawa family and the Zheng family want to get the entire Nagasaki Domain......"

Nagasaki Domain?

Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up directly, looked at Aoyama Tadashi coldly, glanced at a few people, and said in a cold voice: "Yagaya Road!" Aoyama Tadashi, you must know that in the land of Nagasaki, how can it be easy to allow people, not to mention where the Matsuura family has been controlling and giving the Hirado domain to the Tagawa family, so what about the Matsuura family? Are you trying to force the Matsuura family to rebel? ”

"Hello!"

Aoyama Tadashi hurriedly got up and bowed down and said.

"General, listen to the next word!"

Zheng Zhi'e has lived in Dongying for a long time, and he doesn't know much about Dongying, although Tagawa Nanazaemon is the head of the family who presides over Dongying's affairs, but it is Zheng Zhi'e who is really responsible for the daily operation, and seeing that Tokugawa Iemitsu is not happy, Zheng Zhi'e hurriedly said.

"Hmm!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu snorted softly, waiting for Zheng Zhi'e to speak.

"General, you also know that the power of the Matsuura family is getting bigger and bigger, and the infiltration of the entire Kyushu Island is also becoming more and more powerful, maybe it won't be too long, Matsuura Takanobu's family can threaten the position of the general, if we control Nagasaki, there is no doubt that the power of the Matsuura family will be suppressed, at least with the Tagawa family and the Zheng family, they will not be able to threaten the position of the shogunate, right?"

Zheng Zhi'e replied in a deep voice.

Tokugawa Iemitsu said coldly: "Even without your Tagawa family and Zheng family, the Matsuura family still can't threaten General Ben's rule in Dongying!" Just a big name, you can't turn the sky! ”

Zheng Zhi'e hurriedly said with a smile: "General, you are far-sighted and wise, naturally you don't care about the Songpu family's current threat, but what about the future?" Do you think that your children and grandchildren will be as wise as you? Not to mention anything else, as long as you agree to leave Nagasaki to the Tagawa family, Nitta has the Matsuura family and the Tagawa family to co-manage, and Zuoga is left to the Matsuura family to rule, compared to even if the Matsuura family is dissatisfied, there is nothing to do, in order to make up for your losses, the Tagawa family and the Zheng family are willing to give 1.5 million taels of silver to the general! In addition, every year, the two families are willing to take out 500,000 taels of silver from the income from overseas trade and pay tribute to the general! What do you think? ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu was silent, 1.5 million taels of silver, in addition, every year like he will attack 500,000 taels of silver, this is a lot of wealth, for Tokugawa Iemitsu, the entire Toei, a year's financial and tax income, is only 6 million taels of silver, Tokuei is mountainous, facing the sea on all sides, and there are many earthquakes, many disasters, get some oil and water, but it is not easy, if you can get 500,000 taels of silver every year out of thin air, it is definitely a huge help for the shogunate.

"You two go down first, General Ben has to think about it!"

After all, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't agree to come down, so I don't know if leaving the Zheng family and the Tagawa family in Pingdo Mishima is not luring wolves into the house?
