The Takeda family protects Kai and is trapped in the mountains. This was a stumbling block for the Takeda family who disliked the Ashikaga family when they were strong.
Takeda Harunobu was both wise and brave, and used all means to capture almost all of Shinano, but he was still trapped in the mountains, and the necessities of life had to be imported from outside the mountains.
If the Jiaxin military family wants to stand out from the mountains, pursue a better life, and have enough affordable salt and iron cloth, they must build their own outlet to the sea.
There are only two directions, one is to the north of Echigo country, and the other is to the south of Suruga country.
Previously, the Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo families had formed an alliance, and the other two families had imported affordable supplies to the Takeda family and supported Takeda Harunobu's journey north.
However, the tragic losses in the Battle of Kawanakajima declared that the Takeda family's northward strategy was difficult to achieve.
In order to induce the Takeda family to go south, Yoshigan Shiba took the initiative to send salt, import supplies, and provide low-priced daily necessities during the negotiations. This was instigating the Takeda family to turn south.
The Wu family's decline from prosperity may only take one generation. Takeda Harunobu must use the strongest generation of the Takeda family to build a better future for his family.
Whether it was the Echigo Kingdom in the north or the Suruga Kingdom in the south, they imported supplies just because the Takeda family was strong and used supplies to stabilize Takeda Harunobu's strategy.
As long as the Takeda family becomes unstable, these benefits will be cut off in an instant, triggering greater civil strife. Don't believe in any covenant agreement. The name of the Wu family has always turned against others.
Knowing that the Takeda family was bound to break through, Yoshigan Shiba offered benefits while also pretending to let the Takeda family stay in the mountains with peace of mind and not to attack the Imagawa family.
He was almost making it clear that it would be too shameless to lure the Takeda family south to Suruga Country.
Why can't we invade Suruga? If we take Suruga Castle, we won't give up any profits. If Takeda Harunobu does not go south, he will even turn against him and run out of supplies.
Yamagata Masaki looked at Takeda Harunobu, trembling in his heart.
If these are the conditions agreed upon between the family governor and Shiba Yoshigan, it means that the family governor has already made plans to change direction, and the alliance between the three families of Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo is about to end.
Yamagata Masaki was still hesitating, but the Shinano people behind him couldn't hold it any longer.
Masatoshi Hoshina came out and bowed and said.
"On the imperial stage, below is Masatoshi Hokoko.
I would like to ask if there is a quantity limit on Zenkojiping’s supply of materials? Will there be a shortage if supplies are reduced by 30%? "
Yoshigan Shiba glanced at the excited Masatoshi Hoshina and knew that Shinano had taken the bait.
Masatoshi Hoshina was the leader of the Shinano clan of the Takeda family. Although the leaders of Shinano didn't care much about this unworthy leader, it was most appropriate for her to ask.
If there is anyone in the Takeda family who is most interested in Zenkojihei's low-priced supplies, it is of course Shinano.
The Imagawa-Hojo family imported supplies from the south, and Kaiguo received first-hand goods. Those bastards from the Kai clan turned around and raised prices for Shinano to lead the party without blinking an eye.
The conquered Shinano samurai family could only hold their noses to buy supplies, which was also an important reason why the Shinano clan was dissatisfied with the Kai clan.
But Takeda Harunobu cannot severely punish the Kai people for this and harm their interests. The only way to calm things down was to secretly get some cheap supplies to the leaders of Shinano families.
Now, Shiba Yiyin wants to carry out large-scale material imports at Zenkoji Ping in Hokushin and supply them to the Koshin samurai family at low prices. Shinano, who was initially indifferent to this negotiation, suddenly became serious.
Zenkojidaira is an important trading town in Hokushin. It is located to the south of Zenkoji. It was originally the distribution channel for materials imported from Echigo to Shinano.
But before the Tokaido trade route was booming, Echigo's small business could not provide much supplies, so it could only be said to be better than nothing.
Nowadays, the Shiba family has opened up the Hokkaido trade route, and a large amount of supplies from Kansai are traveling through the Hokkaido. In addition, Echigo is an important production area of salt and hemp, so supplies are abundant.
If a large amount of low-priced supplies are really imported from Echigo to Hokushin, it will greatly improve the quality of life of Shinano residents.
Even if low-priced supplies disappear in the future, Zenkojiping, which has grown into a large-scale enterprise, will continue to operate. With this channel, they can suffer less injustice in the game between Shinano and Kai.
The key to all this is whether Shiba Yiyin can ensure that Zenkoji Ping has sufficient supplies.
Yoshihiro Shiba said to Masatoshi Hoshina.
“The Hokuriku Road trade route started from Sakai Port, and only half a year later, 30% of the goods were shipped from Sakai Port, which attracted merchants from all over the country to turn to the Hokuriku Road.
Not to mention the participation of various famous people along the way, only that Naoetsu crossed the Myoko Plateau and went from Togakushi Passage to Zenkoji Temple. They were all mature trade routes.
I guarantee that if the two families strike. I will give priority to the import of materials from Shinano, which will be sufficient for the expenses of the Koshinobu family.
The Jiaxinwu family doesn't have enough, and I won't open the supply channel to the Guandong Plain! "
Masatoshi Hoshina kowtowed to the ground and said excitedly.
"Thank you, Otai Suo!"
Sakai Port and Kyoto are the vanes for the import of materials from Kansai to Kanto. 30% of the goods at Sakai Port are enough to drive a large number of materials to the Hokuriku Road.
Echigo was rich in products, and with the addition of Naoetsu's goods, the Koshinobu family couldn't even get a tenth of the exported materials, because they were really poor.
With Sibo Yiyin as a guarantee, in terms of material input, the two countries had priority over the Kanto Plain. Everyone in Shinano believes that Shinano will no longer be short of supplies in the future, but instead they will have no money to exchange for more.
Shanxian Changjing also nodded secretly after hearing Sibo Yiyin's answer.
The Kai clan had a high status in the Takeda family, so it was impossible for the Shinano clan to resell it to them at a higher price. In this transaction, Jia Feizhong also benefited a lot.
The amount of cheap materials imported from Suruga Country is not large, and the prices are often increased, which has long caused complaints from the Kaibi people.
Now Yoshigashi Shiba waved his hand, and the Koshinobu Takeda family's salt was free of charge, and the materials were 30% lower price, which immediately caused a shock within the Takeda family.
Of course, some people began to worry and came forward to oppose it.
Nobumo Oyamada came out of the queue, saluted Shiba Yihan, and said.
"The imperial platform is above, and below is Oyamada Nobushige.
You keep saying that you hope that the Takeda family will stay safe, but between the lines, you are instigating my family to go south and invade our allies.
The world praises you for your benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and for your integrity. Why did you push so hard for me to disagree with the Imagawa family and encourage my family to break the alliance?
The Imagawa family is a member of the Ashikaga clan. Do you hear the cries in the distance? From then on, war broke out in Tokaido and people were displaced, all because of your own opinions! "
Oyamada Nobushige spoke rudely, directly tearing Yoshiyin's face, and determined to destroy his plan.
In terms of interests, she had nothing to say. The only way to make accusations from the point of view of Shiba Yiyin was to make him furious and destroy the peace negotiation.
The Oyamada family faces the Hojo family and is responsible for diplomatic service against the Hojo family. The Takeda family had a good relationship with the Hojo family, and her family benefited a lot from it.
If the two families turn against each other, the Oyamada family will immediately become the Takeda family's front line in facing the Hojo family's revenge, and will be in an embarrassing situation.
Oyamada Nobumo was unable to escape. For the safety of her own family, she had to rush out and disturb the matter.
But before she finished speaking, before Shiba Yoshigan could respond, one of Takeda's retainers already retorted loudly.
"Lord Oyamada, what you said is wrong!"
After taking a closer look, he turned out to be Nobu-kun Anesama.
Takeda Harunobu looked on coldly from above with a smile on his lips. The cooperation between the Anayama family and the Oyamada family can only go so far.
