Chapter 2111: The Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Spo

In this summer, Ichijo Hideyoshi displayed his great power and the Ichijo coalition forces swept across Kyushu Island. The Shimazu clan attempted to resist in Hyuga Province, but was defeated and retreated to Satsuma and Osumi.

In despair of not being able to receive a response from the Sasaki family, the Shimazu family finally chose to surrender to the Ichijo family.

Ichijo Hideyoshi took over Kyushu Island in one fell swoop, and immediately conferred titles on many princes, implementing a strategy of divide and rule.

In order to divide the Mori and Ryokawa systems, Ichijo Hideyoshi generously gave most of the two countries of Chikuzen and Chikugo to Kobayakawa Takakage.

In order to ensure the submission of the samurai in northern Kyushu, Ichijo Hideyoshi accepted the surrender of the Shimazu family and kindly allowed the Shimazu family to retain the two countries of Satsuma and Osumi and part of the Hyuga province.

The strength of the Shimazu family was greatly damaged, but its foundation was solid and the threat to Kitakyushu still existed. The samurai of Kitakyushu still needed Hideyoshi Ichijo's protection.

In northern Kyushu, Ichijo Hideyoshi particularly admired Tachibana Muneshige, a retainer of Otomo's family, and Naoshige Nabeshige, a retainer of Ryuzoji, and rewarded them generously in the name of their military achievements.

Tachibana Muneshige and Naoshige Nikola almost became independent daimyo, which made their masters feel very uneasy, but they did not dare to disobey Ichijo Hideyoshi's arrangements.

After ensuring that the various families on Kyushu Island had been torn apart, Ichijo Hideyoshi placed his own retainers and confidants in various countries on Kyushu to ensure the Ichijo family's suppression and control of Kyushu Island.

Among them, Kuroda Kotaka was granted Kyushu Island as he wished, and was given six counties in Buzen Province with 170,000 stones. With the generous reward from Ichijo Hideyoshi, he became a powerful daimyo in Kyushu.

Just as the samurai in the world were dazzled by Hideyoshi Ichijo's dazzling military achievements, news also came from Kyoto.

The first joint meeting of the Spoelstra Federal Reserve was successfully completed, and the Fed officially entered the historical stage.

No one of that era had imagined that this institution would even survive into the 21st century, and after the Shiba shogunate became the Shiba Group, it still controlled the financial lifeline of the island nation.

But the samurai of the Middle Ages did not understand the terrifying nature of the Sasaki Federation. They were still shocked by Hideyoshi Ichijo's outstanding record, and the idea of ​​sitting on the fence and watching was once again prevalent.

At this point, the island country officially entered a situation of confrontation between the two superpowers, the Sasaki family and the Ichijo family.

All the military families were wondering which of the two could end the chaos and unify the world again.

Or like Hosokawa, Rokkaku, Miyoshi, and Oda, they may become a meteor in troubled times, streaking across the sky and disappearing without a trace.

Kyoto, Fushimi Castle, in the inner courtyard of the residence.

The one-year-old girl has already grown her eyes and eyebrows, and has the potential to be a beauty.

Yiyin held the child in his arms and couldn't let go, constantly teasing the child with his fingers.

The child's mother, Takada Haruno, sat at the bottom, watching the interaction between father and daughter with a gentle face, wishing that this moment would last forever.

He kept teasing his daughter until she started crying loudly due to hunger. Then Yoshiin hurriedly handed the child to the wet nurse to feed her, and said to Takata Haruno with a smile.

"The child looks strong and healthy. You have worked hard."

Takada Haruno curled her lips.

"The saint warned me before that I should pay more attention to my children and mind less the outside world. How dare I not take it to heart?"

Yiyin pointed at her and sighed.

"You are narrow-minded and remember everything."

The first joint meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank of Suffolk ended successfully. The meeting lasted from early summer to late summer and finally produced a draft charter.

The others patted their butts and went home to report the good news to their masters, but Takada Haruno had to come in person to report to the saint.

Because she is the first president of the Sawa Federal Reserve. From the time Takata Haruno gave up Sakai Port and took the initiative to resign from the Sawa business, after two or three years of twists and turns, the financial power of the Sawa family is still inseparable from Takata Haruno, the goddess of wealth.

No wonder she was so proud and dared to speak rudely, using Yiyin's previous scolding as a boomerang to hit Yiyin himself.

Yiyin couldn't do anything about this petty-minded woman, so he could only change the subject and said.

"Okay, let's get down to business.

I will sign the draft charter of the Spoelstra Fed. As for the subsequent amendments, you thirteen banks should work on them yourselves. You don’t need to ask me again.”

After a whole summer, the Federal Reserve Joint Conference only came up with a draft charter. Faced with huge interests, no one dared to miscalculate, let alone be arbitrary.

The final result is that everyone unanimously decided to use the draft, the amendment, and the second amendment. Infinitely stack buffs and take it one step at a time.

This is like the online games in China in later generations, which are always in internal testing, public testing, version 1.0, version 2.0. In short, it can't be said to be a complete version.

  Because once the complete version is released, you will have to apply for a new version number for review next time. Who can say for sure?

The thirteen families of the descendants of the Sasaki Gods thought the same thing. Let the saint sign the draft first, and we will go back and slowly coordinate and revise it based on the actual situation.

  If the words are final and the charter is set, it will be difficult to amend it in the future. Who knows if the saint will be so willing to sign next time?

The ancients said that if the punishment is unknown, then the power is unfathomable. Everyone is afraid of the sage's fingertips and pen.

In this case, it will be kept in public beta forever and revised forever, so there is no need to bother the saint to sign it again.

Yiyin doesn't bother to care about the little thoughts of the Thirteen Families of the Descendants of God. As long as the Thirteen Families are united enough, even if they unite to plot against him, Yiyin will be in pain and happy. What else can he do?

But today, Takata Haruno really had something else she wanted to discuss with the saint.

As the wet nurse and the child left her sight, Takada Haruno bowed and said.

“Thanks to the attention of the Divine Families, I was chosen as the first chairman of the Spoken Federal Reserve to preside over meetings and handle daily affairs.

I have just taken on this responsibility, and I have come across a difficult matter that I need to consult with the Saint."

Yiyin smiled.

"I will not get involved in the affairs of the Spoelstra Fed. I have said long ago that this is a matter for you God-descended families. The benefits are yours, and the troubles are also yours.

Even if you tear down the Spoelstra family and force me to beg for food, I will accept it."

Takada Haruno covered her mouth and chuckled.

"The saint is really cunning."

Three women make a drama. The Spoelstra Bank has thirteen women and thirteen daughters, and behind them are countless mouths of thirteen powerful daimyo retainers, all hoping to get a bite.

Yiyin must be crazy to get involved in their game, which will only bring trouble to himself.

The food coupon system and the federal reserve system, which were ahead of their time, were not the fruits of Yiyin’s wisdom, but the result of being forced out step by step by the situation.

Yiyin didn't think he had enough wisdom to point out the direction for the Spoelstra Fed, so it would be better to leave it to the smartest elites of the island nation of this era to figure it out and gamble on their own.

As long as the benefits are huge enough, the thirteen Sōma families will rack their brains to protect this financial system and unite to maintain this treasure trove.

Letting go, being detached from the world, and observing the changes with a cold eye is the best choice for Yiyin.

Takata Haruno shook her head and said.

"This is a difficult issue for the Spoelstra Fed, but it is so important that we have to consult the saints."
