v4 Chapter 53: There really is gold in the gold

  Chapter 226 53.Gold hidden

  Tadaemon looked at Shigetomi Tadashi incredulously, and his eyes were full of you, wouldn't you pretend to be with me? Zhongfu Zhongjiao also looked at Tiaosuo Guangxiang in amazement, where Satsuma had a huge sum of one million taels of gold.

  Although it will take three to five years to build the Edo Castle castle tower, this million taels of gold does not need to be taken out immediately. And you can also mobilize the lower-level samurai of the Shimadzu clan to contribute free labor to build the castle tower. But just the wood, terracotta, shell ash, oil paint, etc. needed for construction is a huge expense.

  Don’t say 300,000, at least 200,000 taels or more to be able to pay the bill.

  With your Shimadzu family's poor and ghost-like appearance, where can you immediately come up with 200,000 taels of gold in cash? It's not that Chuemon looked down on the Shimadzu family. Now the entire world, including Shogun Tokugawa Ieki, are poor ghosts.

  If you don’t keep the balance, you let Tokugawa Kaki now take out twenty thousand taels to reward people, but he can’t take it out!

  "Satsuma can supply such a huge sum of money?" Chuemon didn't hold it back, or asked.

   "But I can get the sum of two or three hundred thousand yuan. I can still get the money. As for the needs of the next year, I have my own plan for the next year."

  I have to say that although Chungemon feels that the level of Tiaosuo Guangxiang's money-scraping is very inferior, it uses a bad method of exhausting all the money. But the person who can make the best use of this method is definitely the dragon and the phoenix among the people.

  After all, everyone knows the four words "exhaust Ze and Yu", and it is also the consensus of all the famous warriors to scrape the common people. But there are only two people who have really succeeded in scraping the land. One is the one we have seen before, who has had a stroke, and Murata Qingfeng who is arranging the funeral, the other is Tiaosuo Guangxiang in front of him.

  Knowing is easy, it is hard to do, it is our Meng Lang. The temperament shown by Tiaosuo Guangxiang today is indeed not to be underestimated.

"I am happy today. I can meet Tademon Chuemon, who is also a famous player. I might as well let you meet the confidence of my Satsuma." Hirogo Kosho saw a little brother who can also make money, and Chuemon showed his attitude. It's low, I'm so happy today.

  There are many machos in the Shimadzu family, but there are very few famous men who can make money. The Tiaosuo Guangxiang also deliberately showed off. And he already knows from Shigetomi Chukao that Chuemon may be Shimadzu's child, and he is his own.

  Tadaemon does not say anything that I am the banner of the shogunate, and you are not afraid that I will sell Shimadzu in situ after seeing Shimadzu’s confidence. We are sincere and sincere, because we are all like-minded, candid with each other, without any doubt.

   "Then please lead the way!" Chuemon got up first, stood at the door and made a request.

   and Zhongfu Zhongjiao is to help people up, in 1844, lack of medicine and medicine, a casual fall, it is possible to take the life of this sixty-nine-year-old man.

  Tiaosuo Guangxiang is no longer able to ride a horse, so he had to take a sedan chair and enter the gold store in Kagoshima Castle. Jin Zang is the lifeblood of Tiaosuo Guangxiang, and only he has the key. Even if the heavy iron gate is smashed with a siege hammer, it will take a long time.

  The towering walls are made of granite walls formed by volcanic eruptions, and they must be exploded several times with explosives to break open. Outsiders wanting to enter the secret garden in Guangxiang of the Tune Institute, fearing that it is impossible at all.

  Furthermore, Chuemon also knew that the entire Shimadzu family’s financial final accounts and general ledger were all in the hands of Kosho Hirogo. Even Shimadzu Qibin didn't know Satsuma's actual income and actual expenditure. This was the power that Shimazu Shigeho granted to Hirogo.

  After all, I owed a huge debt of five million taels of gold that year. People all over Japan felt that this was a hot potato that could drag people to death. Only the mediator Guangxiang was in danger and was willing to stand up and take orders. Everyone wished that he was the only one in charge of this account, and they didn't want to touch it.

   "How much savings do you estimate in the domain?" Tadaoemon rode on the horse and asked Shigetomi Tadao.

  "I didn’t think there was much before, but I always thought it was only three to five thousand taels in case of emergency. Now that I think about it, maybe Xiaozaemon has already saved a huge amount of three to five million taels."

   "Then you Shimadzu are even richer than the shogunate!" Tadaemon exclaimed.

  The savings of 500,000 taels of gold is enough to establish several important industrial companies in the Meiji era. For example, Mitsubishi Shipyard, or Kobe Steel, their early investment does not require so much money.

  Fortunately, I decided to come to Kagoshima to take a look, but now I have this opportunity to see Satsuma’s western landscape. The two biggest sums that Chuemon had seen before were sixty thousand taels of gold piled up in the warehouse at Naraya, and ninety-one thousand taels of gold he earned himself, which is indeed a huge sum.

  I really don’t know what Satsuma is like?

  The samurai guarding Kinzo saw Tiaosho Hirogo, and they all evaded. A samurai warrior rushed over to meet Tiaosho Hirogo. Knowing that Guangxiang was here to check the accounts, he immediately took out the pen and paper for practical use. Guangxiang did not pick up the survey, but Zhongfu Zhongjiao accepted it. The Yushuyao didn't say anything, and bowed back to the side.

  Actually, Guangxiang, the surveyor, comes to check the library every month. This is already his habit. When he was burdened with a huge debt of 5 million that year, the gold depository was empty, with only ash accumulated debts. Every time there is a small gold verdict in it, Guangxiang will feel more joyful, just guarding this gold treasury for twenty years.

  As soon as the lock was unlocked, Guangxiang’s hands stopped shaking, and his body straightened~lightnovelpub.net~ The back and back were also strengthened, and even the gray hair was glowing with new brilliance.

  Maybe Jin Zang is the second destiny of Tiaosuo Guangxiang!

  The heavy iron door was pushed aside, and no ashes rose up. It was just a little dark inside, and there was no light source except one meter of sunlight shining in from the patio. Although real gold is not afraid of fire, even if it is burned by fire, it is still gold, but it is always necessary to prevent open flames in such a place.

  There was no sign for the transfer of Guangxiang, and of course no one dared to enter the Jinzang. This old man had a lot of power in Satsuma, and many people hated him deeply, but they didn't dare to take him seriously. As long as the fear reaches a certain level, it may turn into obedience, who knows.

  "The two are here with me..." The old man's current appearance is really "high-spirited".

  Entering Jinzang, Chuemon only discovered his vastness. Except for the aisles reserved for Hirogo, there were also non-perishable rattan boxes everywhere. Depending on the size of the rattan boxes, each one should contain two thousand taels of gold.

   "Guru..." Zhong Fu Zhongjiao swallowed suddenly.

   "I don’t lie to the two of you. The gold deposit here has 175,355,320 taels of gold and 32,000 coins of silver!"
