239 6.33 Revolt and Breach Of Trust. Off With Their Heads (2/2)

If these were not snuffed and be taught as a lesson to the rest who witnessed them, they would continually siphon the money and one would even plot about killing His Majesty as well.

Actually, Tokugawa Iemochi died of beriberi on August 1866 and was not caused by poisoning or assassination. But he married young, so I should follow his footsteps and marry young too. Hehehehe.

Frankly, on hearing the confessions made by Asuwaipu and Okane, he had no choice but to terminate their lives and thus return to Shibata and Tokyo empty-handed since he would not have an aide.

”What's the use of an aide? It is good for you to come, Your Majesty. If I don't reveal their crimes, I think these two people would be the ones who set rebels against us. Now you don't an aide and we don't have a Head Treasurer. Could I appoint someone and ask if he is willing?”

”Himura, I thought that once I relieve Asuwaipu as the Mayor, I'd get him to be as my aide... Or an advisor or mediator. But since he had plans to assassinate you in the past, he would do again in the future. And Okane too... If he takes money from the Castle to add to his wealth, then he is indirectly opposing the Emperor and secondly to me and then to you.”

”Actually, your Majesty... We don't need you to throw in your funds to us. Here look at this corporate account book... This would be enough to build Kitakata into a town of 50k new residents...!”

Tokugawa took a look at our corporate accounts book and was surprised and he can't keep his jaw shut...we had reached a total of 50,844,445 gold coins after the deposit since yesterday.

”This kind of deposits was like a small city already with at least 2x the trading district here and this is managed by Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha alone?”

”Yes... That's why I would like to have a Decree to procure the Northern Side and invite the other connecting villages to move directly with us and expand.”

”The northern side would be made for the employees that could afford a higher living standard. Soon once the present residents had moved there, this Southern side residential would be upgraded as well, phase by phase.”

”Kayu-san...is a 50 gold coin house with a 1 bedroom unit, a kitchen and bathroom suffice for a single household? Also, a 2 bedroom unit with a kitchen and bathroom suffice at 50 gold coin?”

”Yes... Yes... it would be enough since we would be using bricks for half of the house foundation and wood for the rest.”

”I will discuss with you for the houses once we get the Decree from His Majesty here.”

”Hiko-sama, would be you be able to take control of the Treasury for the moment and return all the monies of the residents and merchants back?”

”Destroy their records after you had returned their monies and the 4 Execom would be able to assist in counting the monies after returning to the rightful owners first.”

”After doing so, compile our total sum amount and any extras to be deposited back into the castle's assets. Our sum amount should be tally with the amount stated in the accounts book.”

”The Castle asset would be slightly more than the amount stated and report discrepancies so that His Majesty knows about it andto make a new account based on the amount after setting ours aside.”

”Create savings accounts for all our employees and deposit their salary and bonuses using our main corporate account. Skip the interest rate. There's no interest rate since its just a place to store their money and we have no such of theirs at all.”

”Most importantly keep close watch of our daily deposits and monthly withdrawals for the variable costs in purchases. Since we would be implementing their account books, have a ledger based on Merchants, Residents and Employees.”

”So you would know which on to flip to when updating the records when you made alphabetic records per page. There are about 100 lines per page, right?” I will guide you in making the proper ledger since you would be overseeing the whole employees' savings account.”

”I will get the Plant Managers to brief the Supervisors to inquire who have bank accounts so this we can start to base on that. Would you like to take this honour, Hiko Seijuro?”

”Sure, kid... I'd help you straighten out the whole mess with you together. If you place me there in the Treasury, could I terminate everyone else and emplace 4 of our Execom members to find suitable members to understand how we work?”

”Sure, Sensei... Your decisions would also look good on Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha.”

Tokugawa Iemochi was dumbfounded at the way I handled things. I was managed to foresee what's to take place first, return all savings accounts for the merchants and residents and then make a new account book. Gather back the over 50 million gold coins for Fasuto Japan and the balance to be updated for the Castle assets.

”There's no need to have assets for the Castle since everything would be run Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha corporate account. Please prepare to deploy all your men to their respective commanders, Your Majesty.”

”You are being required to stay here for one solid month and watch us grow. Go live in your castle and assign some men to you. Come here and spend time as a commoner like me. I am sure you would like to know more about this town as it grows, right?”

Everyone was surprised again that I could even request... No... More like informing His Majesty to stay for one solid month and watch how Himura and his gang would turn this town upside down.
