    In addition to the hundreds of dollars of profits he could make every day during the period when the money house was open, now that the market has stabilized, it can bring him dozens of dollars of Yongle dollars in pure profit every day, which is even more than the money printing machine.  There are a lot of money, and the income of the money house is very hidden. A layman can't see the doorway inside at all. Only big businessmen who are proficient in this way will vaguely notice something is wrong. Of course, they are all in the circle and no one will offend such a giant.  money house.  The popularity of Sankuotongdui has naturally brought huge profits to the Kira family, but the operation of Sankuotongdui's business has not always been smooth. There is always a shortage of smart people in this world. Some people do not have amazing talents, but they have various talents.  As a crooked idea, they came up with low-quality silver and gold mixed with various metals to exchange for Yongle money. Usually this kind of little trick will be exposed. Occasionally, a cunning person bullies the clerk of the money house and can get a lot of money.  .  After several vicious incidents, the Hattori family's ninjas grabbed a few criminals and not only made them spit out the money, but also put them into sacks and threw them into Yodogawa to feed the fish. The money house made an emergency plan for this.  Set color testing mechanism.  Determine the quality of precious metals such as gold and silver from the color, weight and clarity of writing on the coins. The densities of gold, silver and other variegated metals are different, so the volumes under the same weight will also be different. With the help of this characteristic, the money house can also  It was easy to tell what the fineness of gold and silver was, and since then there has never been another incident of being defrauded of Yongle money.  Some merchants noticed that Zeniya's business was booming and got red-eye, and they also wanted to get in on the business. Therefore, businesses similar to Zeniya were opened in Kyoto, Sakai Town, Kannonji Town, and many shopping towns in Kinki. These followers did not care at all.  I understand the internal system of the money house and don¡¯t know how the money house makes money. I can only follow the same pattern and raise some gold, silver and copper coins to open it successfully.  It is unknown how many of them are related to the naya clan in Sakai Town, or even to the rich merchants of various local associations, but they did not make much money, because Kira Yoshitoki would not allow these people to share the profits of the clan house with him.  As soon as money houses opened in various places, a large wave of merchants came with large amounts of gold and silver and forcibly cashed out all the Yongle money.  And what¡¯s even more outrageous is that they will use as much silver as you collect Yongle money to redeem them. In the end, these businessmen and the forces behind them can no longer support this exchange method, so they can only terminate the three goods exchange business, but they face  How to explain to the townspeople who really want to redeem Yongle money?  In the end, these new businesses were squeezed out because they had no money to sell and their reputations went bankrupt right after they opened.  Then there are businessmen who use Yongle money to buy this silver at low prices. The new shops with bankrupt reputations can only choose to accept or reject them and go to the money house to exchange Yongle money in person. But most of the bankrupt new shops choose to accept these low prices.  The acquisition by selling method may be because it is really impossible to face the cynicism of the Kira family money house.  From then on, no one in the entire Yodogawa and even the entire Kinki region dared to compete with the Kira family's money house for business. Of course, Kira Yoshitoki did not intend to open a money house in places like Ominato in Ise and Tsushima in Owari.  The house business must not be opened randomly unless it is within one's own sphere of influence. Once the local lord discovers the secret, they will turn around and take it away openly and secretly. When the time comes, he will have no place to cry.  ???Actually, outside of the Kinki region, only Shikoku, which is close to the Kinki, has a chance to open money houses in a few towns in Owari and Ise. Going further to distant countries is even more dangerous, not to mention that the logistics pressure cannot support it.  Kira Yoshitoki's three money houses relied on the advantages of Yodogawa's water transportation. Currency changes at any point in the Sankutoshi can be replenished or withdrawn by shipping. Without the support of the Yodogawa people, he could not control Sakamoto Town and Kyoto at the same time.  , Sakai-machi three places exchange rate price purposes.  In early August, the Miyoshi family and the Hatakeyama family became more and more frequent. What was even more interesting was that Hosokawa Harumoto was unwilling to be alone and ran to Omi to find his brother-in-law Rokkaku Yoshiken. The two discussed for a while and decided to take the opportunity to join forces with the Hatakeyama family.  Together they fought against the Miyoshi family, so the combined forces of Rokkaku and Hosokawa merged with 12,000 people and marched towards Hanoi. The Kinki Rebellion was really a wave of unrest.  A series of events also happened in the Mikawa Kingdom. It is said that these events were related to the laws of the Imagawa family. Imagawa Yoshimoto successively punished several Mikawa wealthy families who disobeyed the ruling of the "Imagawa False List". These Mikawa wealthy families were all because of their family members.  When it comes to disputes over inheritance rights or disputes between two wealthy families over land and water sources, Imagawa Yoshimoto is called to Suruga for adjudication.  Of course, it¡¯s not surprising that Imagawa Yoshimoto¡¯s ruling cannot be understood. Naturally, one party¡¯s interests must be damaged in the ruling and litigation. After the Suruga ruling, these Mikawa wealthy families will return to their original duties and continue to cause trouble.  This gave Imagawa Yoshimoto the opportunity to suppress, and successively eliminated several disobedient Mikawa wealthy families. He completed the routine of killing chickens to scare monkeys and initially established the Imagawa family's complete control over Mikawa Kingdom.  ??In this incident, both the Kira family and the Matsudaira family maintained a cold-looking attitude, even if these wealthy families were subordinate toImagawa Yoshimoto was very satisfied with the performance of the two families. He invited the two family governors in Sunfu and praised them greatly. Kira Yoshimoto was also found an excuse to stay in Sunfu for a long time, using Imagawa  In Yoshimoto's words, it's hard to leave his beloved daughter Tsuruhime's hometown, so she is more accustomed to living at home.  At the same time, the Kira family leader Tomoyuki's title and the power in the family also fell into the hands of the Kira family's descendants. Asahina Yasuno was appointed to serve as the Kira family's second servant. This was completely a plan to sideline Kira Yoshi'an. This method was used by Kira Yoshi.  It is very clear at the time. Historically, Matsudaira Takechiyo also enjoyed this treatment. Fortunately, the generations of the Kira family are very loyal. When the Nishi Mikawa family was loyal to Kira Yoshi of Kyoto, the Higashi Mikawa family was loyal to Kira Yoshian. This is  It is also destined that Imagawa Yoshimoto's tricks will not be of much use.  Matsudaira Takechiyo was in a much worse situation. He could only follow Taiyuan Xue Zhai as a young apprentice serving tea and pouring water. The Kira family had strong soldiers and horses and had Kira Yoshiki from Kyoto as an aid. Imagawa Yoshimoto would definitely not be there.  At this time, the Kira family was targeted, so Imagawa Yoshimoto turned his attention to the Matsudaira family, which was being weakened one after another, and figured out how to use this cannon fodder.  Kira Yoshitoki also felt that the Kira family could not continue to recruit samurai. Taking away too many samurai would cause the Kira family of Mikawa to lose too much blood and be destroyed. He wrote a letter to Nobusada Ohkouchi telling him this idea. It didn't take long for Nobusada Ohkouchi to  The letter was sent back, and his letter stated that he would no longer send Mikawa samurai to Kyoto.  The number of samurai under the Mikawa Kira family has been reduced by nearly half at this time. The redundant branches of each family and the retainers who may hide disputes have been cleared out. This goal has been achieved, even if Kira Yoshi didn't say it, he would find a reason to stop.  ¡°The use of Mikawa samurai does not mean the use of Mikawa peasants. For example, less than half of the 2,200 Mikawa soldiers under his command are from farmers. The main body of Saijo Bei is the rich peasant class of Mikawa.  They are now settling down in Omi thanks to Yoshiyoshi Yoshiki's legacy. They live a stable life and are well-paid. Moreover, the water and soil in Omi is even better than that of the Yahagi River Basin. There are mountains, rivers, and famous temples. It is only a stone's throw away from Kyoto. It's so wonderful.  I don¡¯t know how many Sanhe people¡¯s eyes were envied.  Therefore, under Kira Yoshitoki's hint, Saijo was busy writing letters to his family. The semi-literate samurai who had a similar writing style stumbled and wrote a ghost-drawing letter. The illiterate peasants and soldiers really couldn't write so they found someone to write it for them. Sakamoto Castle Town only had it.  The townspeople who write family letters don¡¯t have to worry about whether they can send them back home.  The news of the founding of Kenda Myounji Temple spread to every corner of the Kinki in less than a month. It expanded rapidly with the influence of Kiraie Bodhiji Temple in Kyoto. Many foreign monks studying in Kinki took a fancy to the complete facilities of the Buddhist temple and the generous treatment.  , followed by a large influx, some people even took a fancy to the Kira family behind Miaoyun Temple, including some very interesting monks.
