v12 Chapter 141: cash for salary distribution

In the last hundred years or so, the Shogunate has indeed never been so prosperous. Looking at the definition of respectful eldest nephew Shimadzu in front of him, Chuemon smiled secretly in his heart, this kid has become a little slick.

"In that case, Yu Dao has an idea." Chuemon's mind flashed.

"Please make it clear."

"How about not giving out rice tickets in the future, but directly issuing cash?" After Chuemon said, he looked at the senior ministers.

Since the shogunate has sufficient funds, it is entirely possible to distribute cash to Hachimoto 80,000. Or Jin Xiaojing, or Yuzha of the three major shareholders of the shogunate. It just happened that one of the main groups of Edo Castle, that is, the samurai directly under the shogunate and their families, began to fully accept the use of paper money.

And this can actually be regarded as a kind of welfare, because ordinary samurai often think very highly of themselves, and few people take the rice ticket issued by the shogunate to go to Mizo to collect their salary rice, and then carry them back bag by bag. home's.

Even if you are a three-two-one waiter, at least you have a few rice tips. With so much rice, you can't carry it home in one trip by yourself.

Therefore, the samurai usually handed the rice ticket directly to Zhacha, and then Zhacha took one cent of the handling fee from it and helped you bring the rice home. What labor costs, handling costs, and replacement queuing fees are all included in this share of money.

Then some people have a lot of income. They only need a part of the rice, and they have to ask Zacha to sell the remaining part in exchange for cash. This will charge a fee of one cent to help the samurai sell the rice.

The market is like this, and the average samurai basically recognizes it.

If the shogunate issued the stipend in cash, then the 80,000-year-old Hakimoto would save the whole procedure and take the money directly home, buying whatever he wanted, and using whatever he wanted. Of course, their support rice can still be received from the shogunate, but it can be received according to the number of households, enough for a family of old snacks.

Discount the rest!

As for whether Zhacha would object? Do you think they deserve to make this little money? Remember the key points, knock on the blackboard, their main business is loan sharking. The reason why he is willing to run for the samurai is not the hereditary and irreplaceable salary of the samurai.

On the surface, they are serving the samurai, but in fact the samurai are being exploited by them and feeding them.

If the shogunate directly discovered gold for the samurai, in the current situation of most samurai, it might be cheaper for these sacks. They may have been standing outside the shogunate's Kinzo, waiting for the samurai to receive their salaries and hand them back when they went out.

All happy things.

The samurai saves trouble, the main business of the sashimi is easier, and the shogunate can also use this to promote the use of paper money to a certain extent, why not do it.

"It's possible." Songping Qixuan thought about it, and he could indeed do it.

Anyway, the shogunate only needs to pay the 80,000 cavalry's salaries in full. As long as I pay enough, you have to work for me. As for whether my pay is gold, silver, or rice, it's all the same.

The main reason is that the shogunate has agreed to open a bank and issue banknotes. At that time, there is no need to issue a small gold sentence, and you can still send the mined gold to reserve funds and print more banknotes.

"Well?" Chuemon looked at the others present again.

In the past, the shogunate distributed rice directly. First, the rice itself was the object of allegiance agreed by the monarchs and ministers at the beginning. Second, the price of rice was uncertain. If the shogunate sold it high, it would be fine. Simply send rice directly, you can't pick a single mistake, and the shogunate also lacks a procedure.

Now it is different. The money income of the shogunate continues to increase, and it is already possible to pay money wages. Then, it is a good governance to directly issue monetary wages.

At least Hakimoto Bawanqi won't think this is worse than sending rice!

"I think it's feasible." The Shimadzu definition, who had just played tricks, agreed.

Anyway, he has more money under management now, and he can handle it. Besides, this was reformed during his tenure, and the 80,000-year-old bannerman can't read his thoughts. Spending the old Tokugawa family's money to gain favor for the Shimadzu family, what is he against?

The Chancellor and the Chancellor of the Exchequer have both agreed, so there is nothing to disagree with, and others have said they can. The next time the salary is distributed, the cash method can be used, half of the money will be awarded, and half of the Yuzha will be paid.

After negotiating an issue, Zhongyouemon also signaled to the others that if there is something to do, we will play it early, and if there is nothing else we will retreat. Isn't it because Aiko will have to give birth soon, Chunemon has to take care of it on a daily basis.

If it was a boy, he had to find a home for him. If it is a daughter, then someone else will beg to be the next family.

The identity is different, and Chuemon has also become a person who hopes to have more children and more happiness. There are three people in the family. If they can give birth, I hope they will give birth to a few more. Anyway, it is not bad for the money to support them, right? Besides, we really have a throne to inherit in our family and are short of sons.

Seeing Chuemon's inquiry, there is no urgent matter left or right. Matsudaira Qixuan also chatted with Zhongyouemon about the 3rd Sendai Division, and the recruitment there was basically completed.

Moreover, in order to recruit more "strong men" from Ou and Ou, the Third Sendai Division compiled more than 8,000 people, which was similar to the number of the First Edo Division. In short, the shogunate was still popular in Ou. The second son and third son of the samurai family in Ou, as well as men from the Miao character saber, came to apply.

Some of them were not selected, and they were very frustrated and felt that they had lost an opportunity to make progress~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, after the navy defeated Lucia last year, many people were promoted to non-commissioned officers or further promoted. Royal family.

Struggle for a lifetime in Ou, may not be able to get the opportunity to become an official. But joining the training team, the probability of this success is greatly improved.

Whether to be unknown in his hometown for a lifetime, or even become a loner in the end, or to give it a try and earn a way out for himself, it is actually a good choice. Besides, being a soldier does not necessarily lead to death in battle. It is my teammates who are not guaranteed to die. You are right.

In short, the recruitment situation is good, and Chuemon is very pleased.

After talking about this matter, Matsudaira Qixuan saw Shimadzu's definition slow down, as if he had something to say, he said goodbye. What can I say about Shimadzu's definition, it's not to ask Aiko, his nominal sister, if she is about to give birth. As a family member, do you want to send someone to help?

Asking publicly is better than asking privately.

"Come on, it's just a few days away." Chungemon also asked the doctor.
