Afterwards, Shiba Yoshigan and Asakura Sotechi had a pleasant conversation.
Sotechi Asakura was determined to sell Yoshihiro Shiba as a favor, and Yoshihiro was willing to share a large amount of profits with the Tsuruga Asakura family in order to connect Konki and Echigo.
Both sides got what they needed, and naturally the talks went very smoothly. The two big bosses just finalized the strategic direction, and the specific details were discussed by both parties.
Uesugi Teruhu looked at it with mixed emotions. Although the Uesugi family would benefit from it, she didn't want to make it happen.
When Shiba Yiyin goes to Kanto, it would be best for her if she has poor contact with her relatives, or simply cuts off contact.
If he has nothing to rely on, he can only rely on himself.
As long as she shows off her power and conquers the Kanto Plain, she can bring back the beauty and get her wish.
But the reality is that Yoshihiro is working step by step, mobilizing the Shiba family's military strength in Kyoto, and now contacting the frontline samurai families in Hokuriku Road to set up trade routes and plan transportation routes.
This is completely different from what she thought!
Although the Uesugi family could also benefit from it, she always felt a little uneasy. Things seemed to be out of her control, and Yoshihiro Shiba took the initiative.
I originally thought that Echigo was her home ground, and Yoshigan Shiba would not let her control him when he got there.
But she just took it one step at a time and never thought of relying on her. This felt terrible.
Uesugi Teruhora had mixed feelings, Asakura Sotechi and Shiba Yoshigan chatted for a while before saying goodbye.
Asakura Kageki took a few steps away, and when he came back, he saw his mother thoughtfully sitting beside her.
Asakura Sodi looked at her silently and asked.
"What do you think of this business deal?"
Asakura Kageki replied.
"Mr. Qianxin gave me too many benefits, and you agreed too readily. I always feel weird."
Sokura Asakura smiled.
"As long as he can channel the power of the Shiba family to Echigo, he is willing to do business at a loss, let alone making money together now.
He also took the opportunity to tie up me, an important minister of the Asakura family, and he made a lot of money. "
Asakura Kageki was a little confused.
"Ken nobu is just sending an envoy to Echigo. Even if we lose contact with Konge, it will only be a few months. Why bother to go to such trouble?"
Asakura Sodi took a deep look at her, sighed, and said.
"It's because you can't understand that I want to make friends with him, be convenient with him, and leave a favor for you."
Asakura Kageki said, becoming more and more confused.
"The governor of the house has shown signs of alienating me, the Tsurugas. Is there something wrong with you cooperating with the Shiba family and not communicating with the master's family yet?
Even if you earn some benefits, it is still not worth the loss. "
Seeing that his daughter was so clueless, Asakura Soudi looked at her with some compassion.
It's all because he took good care of her. Without experience, I don't know how she can survive this troubled world after he leaves.
she whispered.
"Tsuruga everyone obeyed my advice, even if the governor is dissatisfied, he can't do anything to me.
I'm old, so it's really pointless to do this, but for you, it's a life-saving talisman. "
She looked solemnly, looked directly at her daughter, and said sternly.
“Mark my words if one day I am no longer here.
Internally, you must firmly grasp this trade line and use the benefits to bribe the Tsuruga people.
Externally, cherish the friendship with Asai Shiba and his family, especially Mr. Kenshin, and you must treat him sincerely.
Only by practicing both inside and outside can you save your life and the Tsuruga Asakura family. "
Asakura Kageki somewhat understood who his mother was guarding against, and couldn't help but said in horror.
"Your Majesty Yoshikage would not treat my family like this. You have devoted your whole life to the Asakura family. There is no reason for her to do this."
Asakura Sodi sneered.
"When has the Wu family ever acted with reason?
She doesn't have the guts to expand the territory and find food for everyone. Then we can only treat our relatives as thieves to prevent others from defeating them.
The Tsuruga army and the Ono army were the two strongest armies in Echizen.
She defied all opinions and sent her sister Asakura Kejing to serve as Ono County Secretary, taking control of the Ono people.
Because they were afraid of my existence, they didn't dare to attack Tsuruga.
I'm old and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for long. When I'm gone, how will your prestige be able to hold on to Tsuruga County?
When my ancestors and I destroyed Tsuruga County Asakura Kagetoyo and replaced him as Tsuruga County Secretary, that person was not a member of Asakura's family.
If you continue to be so naive, you will be the next one to be wiped out. "
Asakura Yoshikage was content with the status quo. The Echizen Asakura family was quite powerful, but had no intention of exploring outside the country. This had already caused dissatisfaction among his relatives.
The highly respected Asakura Sotechi was a thorn in Asakura Yoshikage's side, but because of her high prestige, she did not dare to suppress her.
Asakura Kageki was at a loss and muttered.
"how so?"
Asakura Sodi shook his head, very disappointed with his daughter, and warned.
“The Wu family values profits over righteousness and has little family ties.
I will definitely give my full support to this trade line and make it happen.
You must hold it firmly and use the benefits gained from it to win over the hearts of the people and gain their support.
As long as the samurai family of Tsuruga County is on your side, His Highness Yoshikage will have scruples about whether she can bear the price of falling out with you.
Remember, if you make friends with Qianxin Gong with your heart, this person will be very capable.
What's even more valuable is that he has never betrayed his trust since his debut. He is a rare figure in the martial arts family who can be used as foreign aid. "
Asakura Kageki recalled the dazzlingly handsome young man, biting his lower lip and said unconvinced.
"Is he that powerful?"
Asakura Sondi glanced at her and sneered.
"Anyway, he is much stronger than you. In just three years, you will see the rise of the Spo family."
"Hasn't the Shiba family been revived?"
Asakura Sodi stopped talking and cast his eyes into the distance, seeming to see the future.
Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi were walking towards the outside of the castle tower. A few steps ahead was where their warrior Hime was waiting.
Uesugi Teruhu saw no one around him and felt unhappy.
"Actually, you don't have to go to such trouble. I will conquer the Kanto Plain for you when you get to Echigo. Until then... Well... let's talk about it."
Yiyin glanced at her, and of course he understood the meaning of the words.
I went to Kanto because I had to go because of the system mission. I had a choice. Who wants to take risks in Kanto?
And the system maxed out Uesugi Teruhu's favorability, which really caused him trouble.
He only wanted to be single and have Shiba's harem, but with Uesugi Teruhu, he only wanted to talk about business matters and did not want to get involved in personal matters.
If this Lord of Echigo succeeds in conquering Kanto, he will be a great name worth more than a million koku and hold a high position. How can he be given a harem?
Since you can't keep it in your pocket, don't incur love debts for yourself to avoid trouble in the future.
Moreover, he was not optimistic about Uesugi Teruhora's Kanto strategy.
It can be seen that she is indeed brave and brave, and she is also wise as a king.
But this person has a problem. She doesn't like to use her brain to solve problems that can be solved directly with force and money. She prefers to use rough and direct solutions.
The Wu family has no shortage of martial arts. How good is she at fighting? The conquest was only within the territory of Echigo.
To take a step back, even if she is indeed unparalleled in battle and can defeat invincible opponents in the world, so what?
Indiscriminate use of money and violence will only cover up conflicts rather than solve them.
Politics is about compromise and seeking common interests acceptable to both parties, not about convincing the other party to bow its head and create hidden dangers.
If he follows her ideas, even if he wins all the battles, he still won't be able to conquer Kanto.
It is normal to fight in the front and rebel in the rear. The front foot surrenders and the rear foot causes chaos. What is the meaning of such a victory?
Yiyin said slightly coldly.
"The Uesugi family and the Uesugi family are working together to conquer Kanto. There is no reason to just let the Uesugi family do the work while my family enjoys the results."
Terutora Uesugi was speechless for a moment, and some words could only be understood but not expressed.
Did she just say that she captured Kanto as a betrothal gift? Nowadays, Echigo has not yet stabilized and rebellions are frequent. Isn’t this just a laughing stock?
Seeing her embarrassment, Yiyin couldn't bear it and said softly.
"The troubled times have come, and everyone in the Wu family is sweeping away the snow in front of their door, and they all have too much time to take care of themselves.
Stop talking useless things. Do you think you can control me for the rest of your life? "
"I can."
Uesugi Teruhora said categorically, and Yoshigine was stunned, speechless by her straightforward confession.
Seeing the sincerity on this man's face, he couldn't listen to his advice at all, so he laughed out of anger.
"Just because your Echigo country is riddled with holes? Do you want to support me?"
"I'll support you."
Yiyin was choked up again and said angrily.
"Mind yourself first, fool."
After walking a few steps quickly, we were the first to exit the castle tower.
Terutora Uesugi looked at his back and wanted to smile, but couldn't, so he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth a few times and followed him.
