A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 53 12. The pot will come first before you hit the road

When I got home that day, I asked Aji to pack a package and bring a bamboo hat and raincoat. Xiao Pingtai also brought a huge sum of three hundred guan (a full 1,200 jin, which had to be pulled by a small cart), and was ready to enter. Jing walked around. In other words, it's the kind of official job that has a clearly marked price. After all, I don’t know the market situation in the past two years, so it’s definitely a good idea to bring more.

Kodaira himself is considered a famous samurai, and he needs to find an officer (of course, some shameless people just call themselves so). In theory, Yamauchi Yoshiharu can perform for him, but everyone knows that Kodaira recognizes him. A ghost godfather has connections in the court and can buy beautiful officials, so this matter will not be mentioned.

As long as you buy an official position, you will be honored by others when you meet your subordinates and people. Nowadays, when you meet someone and you are an acquaintance, you can just call him Xiao Pingtai. Those with low status and unfamiliarity can call Mr. Zi Xiaolu directly, which does not reveal Xiao Pingtai's identity at all. Therefore, buying an official position is also a relatively necessary thing.

After a night of silence, Xiao Pingtai still woke up at around six o'clock the next day. Although there was no need to rush to Fenggong, the team going to Luo and Beijing would not be delayed. You can't let others wait for you, not to mention that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is going together. He is the future big boss, so go early to make a good impression.

But when we got to the city, we discovered that the team entering Beijing had not yet been assembled. Maybe the gifts had not been raised. In fact, all we had to do was buy fruits and drinks in Beijing, although they were a bit more expensive. As long as you bring enough money, you'll be fine, but you still need to bring big and small bags every time you go to Beijing. As the saying goes, sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is more about affection than courtesy.

Xiaopingta thought to himself: "Hey, okay, let's have another day off." Feeling free, he stopped by the agency to say hello to his subordinates and to supervise them. Pretend that you also work hard.

As a result, people thought that the sun came out from the west today, and everyone looked like they had seen a ghost. I haven't seen this Uchida County agent in the agency office for at least four months. Everyone has almost forgotten this person.

Xiaoping Tai was not embarrassed anyway, so Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the main seat. Then he called a team leader to come over and report to him on the recent work. The person didn't have much to say, so he just talked nonsense about the successful conclusion of the summer harvest. Xiao Pingtai felt sleepy after hearing this, thinking that she was really not the type to be on duty. He waved his hand and told others to continue working. He quickly took Aji home to catch up on his sleep. He slept for two hours just in time for lunch.

When I got home, I found that the atmosphere was very different. Today was particularly noisy. The wives of all the big bosses came to Uncle Tsuna's wife's place. There were people standing and sitting, and there were always forty or fifty women waiting for orders at the door. Xiaopingta was thinking, do you usually have such a large-scale harem tea party? Don’t you have any other spare time activities? The child no longer needs milk?

As a result, Xiaopingtai hadn't returned to the house yet. She was just washing her feet and washing hands in the yard when Xiaonai called her to the front porch. Logically speaking, he is a warrior, how can he be ordered around by women, but he can't stand the wife of a big boss among the women. Maybe he is not sure who his man or his son is, so it is only right to listen to him and go see him as soon as possible.

After Xiaopingtai separated some distance from them and sat down safely. The aunt first ordered someone to serve tea to Xiao Pingtai, and then asked Aji to bring two plates of snacks and fruits. Only then did Xiao Pingtai realize that something was wrong. This posture was not three to five sentences. This was some big boss who wanted to have a long talk with me.

Xiao Ping didn't have to wait long before a woman in her forties or fifties who was clearly of the highest status spoke first. When Taichi Kodaira heard her introduce herself, it turned out that the boss was the wife of Hiroshima Hosokawa. I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you, just put on a smiling face.

Mrs. Hosokawa spoke slowly. She said that the capital's pearls, turtle shell work, incense powder, clothing belts, headdresses, etc. were all famous products from all over the world. Could you bring some to her? Xiao Ping thought to herself, Auntie, you are fifty years old, and you are still old and carefree.

Thinking that they were all things that didn't take up much space, Xiao Pingtai agreed wholeheartedly, but the money that the aunt asked the maid to hand over was not right. It was a hundred taels of gold. This was not to buy Armani Givenchy. This money Too much. It’s too much to buy an Aston Martin now. What does this mean? It can't be a bribe, right? How can it be.

Xiaopingtai looked at her with a suspicious face. The aunt covered her mouth with a fan and said that this was all the money she had saved so hard for cosmetics. It would be great if Xiaopingtai could help her find a way to get more.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Pingtai realized that he should have said it earlier. At the beginning, I asked Heita Xiao to buy cosmetics and jewelry alone. Isn't this the same as when a girlfriend comes to her aunt and asks her boyfriend to go to the supermarket to buy sanitary napkins. How embarrassing! How embarrassing!

Now if I tell the truth, everyone will understand. I just think that Xiao Ping is very wise in making money, and I hope I can get some money to spend.

Sure, I know about risk management and angel investing these days. Seeing the anticipation in the eyes of these women, Xiaopingta had no choice but to agree. So the little maids who cheered, you brought me another five hundred taels of gold in an instant when you were fifty and I was eighty.

It was Mrs. Hosokawa, who obviously had the highest status, who spoke first. All she needed to do was help them protect their income and earn some money. Of course, the more they could earn, the better. Xiaopingtai could only promise them to do their best.

After they were sent away, the three aunts asked Xiao Pingtai to stay and took out two hundred guan. They told him that Uncle Tsunaliang was good at digging in the soil and could not save much money all year round. They wanted to find a way to save some money for him. Pension money.

Xiao Pingtai immediately had three questions on his head. Nowadays, uncle Tsunaliang is making counterfeit coins every month and doing private work with some materials. It is said that he can make three to four hundred coins a year. It's too much for you to complain about his poverty.

But after all, she was Uncle Tsuna's wife, and she couldn't expose them to their faces, so she had no choice but to accept it with a silly, innocent and clueless look on her face.

This thing is so good, it made Xiao Pingtai scratch his head and roll from left to right and from right to left on the floor. I haven’t started on this fucking journey yet, but I have first purchased such a large amount of financial products that must have high returns.

I am not a banker who opens a bank and lends money at high interest rates to the disadvantaged, nor is he a person who does low-cost business on the road and treats people to noodles and wonton noodles. Where can I get high-return and low-risk financial products for them?

You can't just let people play a Ponzi scheme during the Warring States Period. If it fails, someone will come to your door with a knife the next day. It is considered light when cut into eight pieces, and it is not impossible to chop it into meat sauce. From what Xiao Pingtai knows, these people can definitely do it. Don't dare to play with fire like this, change it to another one.

After thinking about it, I have no clue. I have considered making money before, but the path is very narrow, and there is basically no particularly good way.

In this case, he couldn't just go on the road. He immediately sent Aji to take his name and order all the silk merchants in the town to gather at his home.

Looking at this group of bewildered and slightly panicked businessmen, Xiaopingtai took his official steps and spoke in a skilled official voice.

"This county magistrate calls you here today. It is not a government procurement bidding, nor a private group purchase."

"What are you doing for? It's to earn some money for the wife of Dr. Harumomi Hosokawa, a member of the Yamauchi family's genealogy family, Bitou Hosokawa. Do you understand the money? It's the personal money of Bitou's wife! A small treasury!"

"This is the most important political task in this county right now. Can you people understand it? If you can't understand it, just pretend to understand it! I'm not obviously trying to lower the price, I'm just trying to give you a chance to please my boss, Mr. Kawa Harugong!"

After a lot of coercion and inducement, I got a batch of Koshu silk and silk fabrics at wholesale prices. You can't make a lot of money from this, but silk is expensive, light, and easy to travel on the road, and Koshu silk is famous all over the world. If you take it to the capital and sell it to a big dealer, you can at least earn some money for running errands and buy all the ladies' jewelry and perfume. .

Then, on the way to Beijing, we have to think of ways to get as many as we can. Xiaoping Tai can find out clearly that those old aunts and ladies are all ladies from various well-known families in the Yamauchi family. Who knows whether they really save some money to buy some face powder, or whether their men call them Let's explore the way, make a small speculation first, and then follow up if you can make a fortune.

As for those whose character is guaranteed, I will still say the same thing, recommend a thousand people, and as long as there are a thousand people, we will update eight times! Eight updates!
