Chapter 45 Three things to do when a new official takes office

Taking charge of the lord's inner treasury is not an easy task. If you do it well, you will be promoted and make a fortune, but if you do it badly, you will lose your job.

Nobutora took the account book and went to the inner treasury with Yoshiyuki Sawaki to hand over it.

The person who handled the internal treasury before was arranged by Hirate Masahide. After Hirate Masahide's death, Nobunaga took over, and he arranged for his brother-in-law Ikeda Tsuneaki to temporarily take over.

Nobutora came to hand over the job. Ikeda Hengxing didn't notice the job and immediately handed over to Nobutora.

The account book records that Nobunaga's inner treasury contains 18,000 koku of grain, 500 taels of gold, 1,000 guan of Yongle money, 50 pieces of silk from the Ming Dynasty, 100 pieces of local silk, 200 pieces of cloth, and 20 pieces of famous swords. There are five hundred spears, three hundred bows, three thousand arrows, fifty rolls, and one hundred pills...

There is still a lot of debris left.

These things seem to be a lot, but in fact, compared with the period of the tie-up administration, only about a month passed between them, and the internal treasury shrank by half.

In order to replace the old one hundred iron cannons, Nobunaga immediately used the items in the inner treasury to exchange money for the iron cannons.

Iron cannons are consumables. The saltpeter used to make gunpowder is imported, as are the projectiles. A shot costs fifty or sixty cents.

Three hundred rounds in one round, that's eighteen rounds. After three rounds, the money of fifty-four rounds is gone.

Normal training requires one round of shooting every week, and the cost of shooting alone in a month reaches 72 guan.

It's better to save money. If he really opens up his training, Oda Nobunaga's internal resources won't be able to support him for long.

Ikeda Hengxing said to Nobutora with a relaxed look: "This job is finally over. Looking at these numbers every day gives me a severe headache. Now I leave it all to you.

You only need to control the final total, and the other details can be left to the subordinate officials. "

Nobutora replied: "Thank you, Mr. Ikeda, for reminding me. Do you mind checking it?"

Ikeda Hengxing nodded and said: "It is necessary to check. Mr. Oda, please take Mr. Tsuda to check."

Oda Nagatoshi was the deputy when Tsuneko Ikeda took over the inner bank, and he is still the deputy now, but he is used to it.

He didn't dare to be too cautious about his third boss. After all, Tsuda Nobutora's reputation had already spread in his family, and Oda Nagatoshi would naturally not offend the popular fried chicken in his family.

Oda Nagatoshi very carefully checked the number of the inner treasury with Nobutora. This workload was still quite heavy, but fortunately, the things in the inner treasury were arranged neatly, and it was clear just by counting them.

Although it was an accounting, it was impossible for Nobuhu to inspect them one by one, so he could only select some samples for inspection.

For example, with more than 10,000 stones of grain in such a large granary, he could only select a few bags to check the rice to avoid the presence of sand and stones.

For example, if there were strings of Yongle money, he could only select a few of them to check to see if there was any one or two pennies missing.

After a morning, Nobutora and Oda Nagatoshi summed up the inner treasury together.

He put away the account book, came to Ikeda Hengxing and said: "Sir Ikeda, I have done the calculation. The items in the inner treasury are the same as the number on the account book, and they are accurate."

Ikeda Tsuneaki stood up and said: "That's good, I won't stay here, take my leave."

Nobutora quickly sent Ikeda Hengxing away.

After seeing off Ikeda Tsuneaki, it was already noon. Lunch was delivered from the residence hall. Nobutora and a group of officials from Nagoya ate in a room.

During the meal, Xinhu said nothing. When everyone had finished eating, Xinhu knocked on the table. Everyone immediately looked at Xinhu and listened to Shangguan's teachings. Nobutora said: "Everyone, although it is my first time to serve as the head of Nahu, I may be an amateur in everyone's eyes, but since the head of the family asked me to be the head of Nahu, I naturally have to do this job well. .

I see that our accounting method is not that good, so I am going to use a new accounting method. "

The officials below looked at each other, some frowned, some had mocking eyes, and some had nothing to do with themselves.

Oda Nagatoshi reminded: "Master Tsuda, this is how we have kept accounts since ancient times. It would be inappropriate to use a new accounting method."

Nobuhu didn't refute, he looked at the other person and said: "Here comes the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

The subordinate officer immediately stood up and brought what Nobuhu wanted.

Xinhu wrote something in the account book, and then said: "In the past, our accounting method was as messy as a running account.

From now on, everyone should draw a table like me, that is, a table like this. "

Nobuhu picked up the form he drew and showed it to everyone.

Oda Nagatoshi is a veteran. He took a closer look and found that the form was not difficult to understand. On the right side were the names of various items in the internal warehouse, and on the upper side were the storage quantity, shipment quantity, warehousing quantity, date, etc.

With this form, the mobilization of materials in the warehouse can be seen at a glance, which greatly reduces their workload and can also better monitor corruption.

Others are also a little surprised. They are all veterans of accounting. Experts will know whether it will work as soon as they start it. This form does seem to work.

They murmured in a low voice: "Didn't this guy say he was good at iron cannons? How could he be so good at it?"

"Who knows? I heard that Tsuda-sama's younger brother works under Murai-don. Maybe he was educated at home?"

"It's impossible. I've never heard of the Tsuda family having this kind of school. Tsk tsk tsk, you and I should be more careful in the future. This superior officer is not easy to fool."

Everyone looked at this form with mixed emotions in their hearts. Looking at others, it is really enviable to have such talents at such a young age and now to be in a high position.

Oda Nagari, who was at the bottom, saluted and said: "Master Tsuda's method is indeed good, but this is the first time for everyone to come into contact with this new method, so I think it can be implemented slowly."

It takes a process for people to accept new things. Nobuhu also understands this. He nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Oda is right. I will give everyone an adaptation process. However, if anyone acts in a disobedient manner and acts negligently, then everyone will Don’t blame me for being unkind.”

Everyone was surprised and quickly bowed their heads in salute.

Nobutora made a big move on his first day as a Nado servant. Naturally, such a thing could not be hidden from Oda Nobunaga.

Ikeda Hengxing said: "I handed over to him today, and it only took him half a day to figure it out, but it took me two days. This ability is really amazing."

Kawajiri Hidetaka shook his head and said, "I wonder where Mr. Tsuda got so many talents. I've never heard of his family having such knowledge."

Oda Nobunaga didn't care, and waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't worry about these things, I just need him to do things for me."

Ikeda Hengxing smiled and said: "This is really your style. Do you want to add more burdens to him?"

Oda Nobunaga groped his chin and said, "Let's wait until he stabilizes his inner bank."
