v11 Chapter 95: Although raising 100,000 is useless

Matsudaira Qixuan was lucky. When he arrived at the Naraya Yokohama branch, Shigeru Nara was still in the store. If he arrives two more days late, Shigeru Nara will have to go to Shinshu and reconcile with Sakuma Xiangshan to receive the goods.

Knowing that Shigeru Nara was in Yokohama, Matsudaira Qixuan was overjoyed. With such a **** of wealth, tens of thousands of taels are just a trivial matter. Shigeru Nara opens a ticket, and any wealthy merchants in Japan will be honored when they meet.

It's so reputable! It's so arrogant!

Naturally, no one would stop Songping Qixuan at the door. Who would dare to stop the current general's uncle Akashi? The servants led Matsudaira Qixuan in, and ran upstairs to inform Shigeru Nara. When Nara Shigeru heard his subordinates say that Matsudaira Qi Xuan came in a hurry, he felt a little bit of consciousness in his heart.

Recently, the shogunate training team returned from India. Because of the problem of unpaid wages, the shogunate is passionately fighting against the British side. The British still haven't handed over the full amount of money to the shogunate, so that under the Yokohama Castle, those taverns and flower buildings are full of complaining soldiers of the training team.

All of them said that they put their heads in the hands of the British, but the British didn't give money, which is really not a thing!

Now that I have come in a hurry, it is nothing more than wanting to borrow two, two, so as to appease the soldiers of the army and calm the anger of the big-headed soldiers.

Just as he was thinking about it, Songping Qixuan had also arrived, and he immediately trotted out, pretending that he was very busy and looking away, and met Songping Qixuan.

"No need to be more polite, let's talk straight!" Songping Qixuan motioned for all the followers on the left and right to leave.

"His Royal Highness, please tell me." Seeing this, Shigeru Nara knew that there was nothing he could do if he didn't bleed today, but he pretended to be very good, and just asked Matsudaira Qixuan to sit down and say.

Song Ping Qi Xuan came all the way, his mouth was dry, even if he was sitting in a sedan chair, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do in his mouth, either he was drooling frantically, or he was drooling like death, nothing. Not left. Seeing that there was a teapot on the European-style coffee table, I poured myself a large cup.

"Borrow the 100,000 taels from the shogunate, and I'll pay you back in a few days!" After Gudong Gudong finished drinking, Songping Qi Xuan didn't wipe his mouth, but it cost 100,000 to open his mouth.

Why 100,000? Of course, it is convenient for Shigeru Nara to bargain well. If you come up, it will cost 50,000, and if Nara Shigeru is not in place, it will be directly pressed to 20,000 or 30,000. At such a tense moment, 20,000 to 30,000 are useless. Today, if you don't pay a full 100,000 yuan to the troops of the Chuanxiu team, then you can't be kind.

"One hundred thousand!" No surprise, Shigeru Nara naturally showed a look of surprise.

At that time, bribing the old and middle school and continuing to maintain Naraya's annual tribute rice package to buy the right to operate was just 50,000 taels. Bribe an old middle schooler for 50,000 yuan, and he can continue to lie down and eat during his term of office. Matsudaira Qixuan's mouth now costs 100,000 yuan, and even if you came to Zhongyouemon in person, you may not have such a big face.

Among the wealthy merchants in Japan, who does not know that the Tokugawa shogunate is the master of borrowing and not paying it back all the year round. If you borrow 100,000 yuan, you will be happy if you can pay back 50,000 yuan. For the rest, you will either continue to grant monopoly rights, or you will directly ask the rich merchants to pay. The shogunate's reputation, huh, everyone knows it well.

"Oh, it's really urgent, and still need 100,000 to appease the troops." Matsudaira Qixuan took Nara Shigeru's hand and spoke to Nara Shigeru in the softest tone of his life.

"One hundred thousand taels, in a hurry, I can't raise it." Shigeru Nara did not shy away from Matsudaira Qixuan's gaze.

This does not belong to chanting poor scriptures. The trick is to lay out the facts, tell the status quo, and confess that the grassroots have difficulties. You asked me to do things at the peak, not because I didn't want to do it, but I really wanted to contribute to the construction of the Tokugawa shogunate, but it was impossible to do so.

What do you say, the concubine can't do it!

Matsudaira Qixuan is no longer a child, of course, he knows that Shigeru Nara's words are bargaining. Your asking price is too high, and even though everyone knows I have money, I don't have that much cash.

Why don't you wait?

I just don't know if the military lord outside the city can wait...

"Oh, how many do you have in your store?" Songping Qixuan didn't push Tai Chi with him, he took a step back and said that he only wanted the cash that he could get immediately.

"Well..." Nara Shigeru didn't answer.

He was actually very clear in his heart, but he couldn't answer right away, he had to show that he was very difficult. Money was used everywhere, and the shogunate did not have a set rule, so it was always insufficient.

Songping Qi Xuan didn't say much, giving him time to think about it, but the strength of the handshake was getting bigger and bigger.

"Let's take a look at our store's accounts." Shigeru Nara smiled respectfully, let go of Matsudaira Qixuan's hand, and stood in front of his desk.

What is the situation outside, what is the urgency shown by Matsudaira Qixuan, for Shigeru Nara, it is of no use. He only hoped that he would be borrowed a few less, simple and pure.

"How much is on the account?" Seeing Shigeru Nara's lingering silence, Matsudaira Qixuan was a little anxious.

"The account is more than 40,000." Shigeru Nara took a little tentative. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

His bottom line is definitely not here, but asking for a price all over the sky and repaying the money on the ground, he must first kill half of the price before continuing to negotiate.

"Okay, just 45,000 taels!" Who knew that Songping Qixuan didn't talk nonsense at all, he just asked for 45,000 taels, and he just blurted out.

"Since it was Marquis Mingshi who spoke, the little one can't shirk."

Hearing that it was only 45,000, Shigeru Nara was still heartbroken that his money was gone, but it was not a huge amount. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he pretended that he didn't make any money the other day.

Seeing that Shigeru Nara was willing to give the money, Matsudaira Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief. After a lot of financing, Hao Lai finally managed to collect 100,000 yuan, and he was able to perfunctory today.

But before he could say anything, the door that had been closed was suddenly pushed open. Songping Qixuan, who was about to ask questions, saw that it was Hijikata Suizan who ran in, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at Hijikata Sui San again, his hair was disheveled, his feet were covered in mud, and there was even mud on his face. This is obviously running all the way, and I don't know how many falls on the way.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something is wrong!" Finally seeing Songping Qi Xuan, Tufang Suishan hurried forward.

"What happened?" A very bad premonition rose in Songping Qixuan's heart.

"The soldiers heard the rumors, you fled Yokohama, abandoned the army, you have broken the official hall, chaos will start!" Hijikata Suishan stared at Matsudaira Qixuan, and said something that surprised the two present.

Shigeru Nara, who was still holding the account book in his hand, stopped even the pen in his hand that was signing the ticket when he heard this.
