Mizuno, who was suspicious in his heart, was inevitably dissatisfied with Chuemon. All the facts proved that Chuemon was taking bad rice to the people who were affected by the disaster.

　　 Although the amount distributed by Chuemon was relatively sufficient, the people did not feel any violent dissatisfaction. It is not the first time that they have been relieved. The government officials of the shogunate used to give out such bad old rice porridge for disaster relief. The number is not as large as that of Chuemon. This time it is considered good.

　　 But after all, he stuck a thorn in Mizuno Tadakuni's heart. If he can't solve it, there will always be an outbreak in the future. The main reason why Mizuno Tadakuni is pressing now is that there is no major incident.

　　Furthermore, Chuemon just did him a big favor, and he started to attack Chuemon at this time, which would make others feel that he was ungrateful. What politicians need is prestige, whether it is good prestige or bad prestige, as long as the prestige is high, they can push their subordinates to do things. If the reputation is weakened, the status will also be shaken.

　　Since there is nothing wrong, Mizuno Tadakuni disregards the matter, and only waits for Chuemon to finish his errand, and then find a chance to knock on Chuemon.

　　 At the side of Chuemon, it was a month before and after the disaster relief. In the warehouse entrusted to him, although there is still half of the rice, the other half of the warehouse that has been evacuated is now filled with bags of rice candy.

　　 So many rice candies, you definitely need to sell it. The crowd of people present did not know any big businessmen at all, and they couldn't even touch the side of the big businessmen.

　　 "Why don't we go to Shigeru Nara." Shuroku looked at the mountain of sugar bags.

　　 "Nara Shigeru died long ago?" Chuemon turned around and replied.

　　 "He is dead, and his son is also called Shigeru Nara."

"I know, but his son is only fifteen years old now, can he support the family business?" Of course, Chungemon knew that this kind of merchant family might have a name for ten generations, but that 40-year-old was in Jiang. Shigeemon Naraya, a well-known merchant among the households, has committed suicide. What is the use of his son?

　　 The same is Shigeru Nara, the fifteen-year-old Shigeru Nara is very different from the forty-year-old Shigeru Nara. Mizuno wants fame to promote reforms, and Nara needs fame and prestige to do business. The prestige and credibility of a businessman these days is more important than money. Prestige and credibility are the golden signs, and everyone will come to your prestige and credibility.

　　 So why do I often have examples of my family failing when I die. Because everyone only believes in Lao Tzu, not in his son, he feels that his son is hairless and insecure. In the Edo era, which was still a human society, not being able to gain the trust of other upstream and downstream merchants would basically mean the end of business career.

　　 "From fifteen to fifteen, it's not that their Naraya has no shop manager, there are always people who can do business." Sukeru guessed.

　　 "Come on, we know this one, so let's invite him." There is no better candidate for Chuemon.

　　 I thought it would be the professional managers of Nara House. After the death of Shigeru Nara, Shigeru Nara could not support his family business temporarily, and he could only rely on these old folks who served in public for generations. Unexpectedly, the fifteen-year-old Shigeru Nara ran over in person and followed a few of his own buddies.

　　 "So Edogawa-sama is going to do business with me in Naraya?" An veteran Banto asked Chuemon.

　　 "A little business, how about this candy?" Chuemon asked Hachiro Amano to bring a big bag of candy, and opened it again and gave the first piece.

　　 thanked him, broke the rice candy, took a small piece and put it in his mouth to taste. After confirming that it was the real sugar, he turned around and passed it to Shigeru Nara and the others who came along for inspection.

　　 "This seems to be maltose?" Shigeru Nara was born a rich man, and he had eaten sugar since he was a child, and of course he had eaten maltose.

　　 "It's rice candy." Chuemon smiled and took out a piece.

　　 "Rice candy?" The people in Naraya were surprised and curious, and quickly broke some into their mouths to taste.

　　 "Sir, you said that, it's really not maltose." Fantou licked his fingers.

　　 "Maybe!" Shigeru Nara combined with Chuemon's recent disaster relief, and immediately thought of the source of these rice candies.

　　 "That's right, it's sugar made from disaster relief rice."

　　 Chuemon is not afraid of things being known, because knowing it is useless. One hundred thousand stone of rice is worth seven to eight thousand taels, and you can have this money without doing anything. If anyone loses their minds and cooks 100,000 shi rice to make rice sugar, not to mention whether the cooked sugar can sell for seven or eighty thousand taels of gold, it will say the labor, fuel, cooking utensils, storage and other expenses needed, I'm afraid it is. It will cost 20,000 to 30,000.

　　 People who have a bad brain will cook the rice into rice sugar for sale. That is to say, the leftover rice cooked at Chuemon's side can be used for disaster relief. It does not cost labor, fuel, storage, packaging, and almost all at no cost. This is the only way to do this kind of business.

　　 Other people can't imitate it at all!

　　 "I don't know how many rice candies are there?" Shigeru Nara was a young man who spoke very seriously. Of course, Chuemon was only seventeen years old and not much older than him.

　　 "There are four hundred thousand catties here!" The one who helped Liu manage the account immediately reported a number.

　　 "Hi..." The audience took a breath.

　　 Horror!

　　 There is a full 400,000 catties of rice sugar in this ordinary and ordinary warehouse. It should be noted that six catties of granulated sugar is worth one tael of gold. If it is priced at this rate, the sugar here is worth about 70,000 taels of gold, which is an astronomical figure!

　　 If Guo said more intuitively, after deducting the salaries of Qiben and Yu family, the general's annual income does not exceed 600,000 taels!

　　 In other words, the sugar in front of you is about one-eighth of the annual income of Tokugawa Ikebir!

　　 "So Naraya would like to do this business with me?" Chuemon knew that such a large number could only be eaten by big merchants like Naraya. Other small merchants simply did not have this kind of strength.

　　 "This number is really too big, our Naraya..." Fan's eyelids jumped. Since the death of the old Nara Shigeru, the business of Naraya has been declining day by day, no longer the glory of the past.

"Well…"

　　I didn't even consider this. After the death of Shigeru Nara, the business of Naraya must have deteriorated. They Naraya probably don't have so much cash in their hands for the time being to buy such a huge amount of rice candy.

"Hey, we did this business at Naraya! I don't know how much Edogawa-sama thinks this 400,000 catties of sugar can be sold!" Shigeru Nara reached out to stop his old man, and stood a step forward, staring at the loyal guard with piercing eyes. Door.

　　 is really a young talent since ancient times!

　　 I didn’t see that this little Nara Shigeru is also a character!
