Shiba Yiyin sneered.
"Who is so bold that my sword will harm you?"
Teru Uesugi said with a wry smile.
“Of course no one would dare to do it openly.
After the autumn harvest, you and I will send troops to Kawanaka Island, and the tax burden has not yet been sorted out. By the time I came back, the tax rebate from the second father-in-law had been distributed to the local government. "
Yiyin said in confusion.
"Isn't this going to be distributed?"
Teru Uesugi said bitterly.
"Yes, they have all been distributed, and people are furious. Many families in Yangbei have written letters to complain to me, and the money and food distributed are almost nonexistent.
They went to inquire and were told by the envoy that the tax rebate would be distributed according to the needs of each place. This year, several water conservancy projects and roads need major repairs, so priority has been allocated there. "
Yiyin grimaced.
"I think those places where major repairs are being carried out should all be in the territory of the Uesugi Retainers Regiment in Joetsuchugotsu?"
Teru Uesugi laughed, his laughter full of anger.
"The adherents are not so stupid. At least 30% of them have been allocated to my direct leadership. There are large-scale construction projects everywhere on the Takata Plain."
Yoshigan couldn't help but laugh. Uesugi Teruhu was unknowingly and inexplicably taking the blame.
"They really know how to behave."
Teru Uesugi snorted coldly.
"No, you dragged me into the water, and even Honjo Sano, who was guarding the rear, had nothing to say.
Only when I received a letter from the Yangbei people who returned to their territory and asked me to come see me, did I know the truth.
The Yangbeizhong fought bravely this time, but many people died but received no benefits and were treated differently.
Senior ministers who were close to me, including Nakajo Fujisaki, Irobe Katsunaga, and others were extremely angry, and their grief and indignation overflowed on paper and pen.
If this matter is not handled well, Yangbeizhong will probably cause trouble again. "
Yiyin hesitated.
"Didn't you share Narumi Jinshan with them? They wouldn't fall out immediately, right?"
Uesugi Teruhu shook his head.
"Mr. Kenshin, you don't know the inside story of Narumi Jinshan. That Jinshan is located in the northern section of Echigo, deep into the territory of Yangbei Zhong.
I only hold it in name. In fact, at most 23 out of 10 gold mines come to me every year, and most of them are privately divided by Yang Beizhong.
My reward this time only gave them a legitimate reason to swallow up the gold mine, and I did not pay any actual benefits. "
Yiyin was stunned, what happened.
Yangbeizhong was divided by Uesugi Teruhora and Shiba Yoshigan, and this battle was divided into two waves.
The Yutai people abandoned their master on the battlefield in Yangbei without getting a single benefit. It was a blessing not to be punished.
The troops of Yangbei followed Uesugi Teruhora to fight in a bloody battle on Kawanaka Island, but in the end they got Jinshan with a blank check. When I got home, I found that the promised tax rebate had been swallowed up by Uesugi who stayed behind.
Both Yangbeizhong suffered heavy losses, did not make a single profit, and ended up in infamy.
Who can bear this?
If we don't handle it well, don't expect the Kanto Raiders next spring, just prepare to counter the rebellion!
Yiyin sighed, suddenly remembered something, and called out. Pu Shengshixiang opened the door and bowed and stood by.
"Bama Shengji, have you received any letters or documents in the past two days?"
Pu Shengshi Township said respectfully.
"Otai Office, Mr. Ohkuma Asahiu just had a letter sent urgently from Central Etsu. I saw you talking to His Highness Uesugi, so I didn't bother you."
Yiyin smiled.
"I don't blame you, bring it over and show it to me."
"Hi!"
Kamoji sent a letter with both hands, and Yiyin took the letter and motioned for her to retreat. She bowed and left, closing the sliding door.
Yoshihiro opened the letter and scanned it, then smashed it on the document and sneered at Uesugi Teruhora.
"Daxiong Chaoxiu was also tricked, these bastards are so brave!
Daxiong Ji will inevitably have her tax rebate cut off, and others have no hope. "
Yoshigan was really angry at the greed of the new Uesugi retainers. He doesn't blame the Wu family for being greedy, that's their nature.
He hates the fact that these idiots are mentally ill!
Who is Daxiong Chaoxiu? How many resources does the person in charge of the Shiba family of the Hokuriku Road Trading Route have in his hands?
These people even dared to swallow her share for the sake of Ergong's rebate, and they were not afraid that Daxiong Chaoxiu would turn around and cut off their supply of goods, so everyone broke up.
A powerful high-level martial arts family like Daxiong Chaoxiu has no share. You can imagine the situation on Yang Beizhong's side. Now there is only one spark left to ignite it, right?
Fortunately, Daxiong Chaoxiu was concerned about the overall situation and did not fight back immediately. Instead, he informed Shiba Yiyin.
If the Shiba Uesugi family has a business dispute and tries to hurt each other, Kanto Raiders will make a prank!
Yoshigan looked at Terutora Uesugi in anger and cursed.
"Do your people have any brains? I gave them so much business profit from Hokuriku Road, and they still want this little money and food!
Short-sighted! Don’t be afraid of ruining the overall situation! "
Yiyin was really speechless.
The Echigo stone is 400,000 shi high, and Tianfu Ergong is 80,000 shi, which translates into 40,000 guan.
In the first year after the opening of the Hokuriku Road trade route, 300,000 guan of goods arrived at Echigo Naoetsu.
Let’s not talk about tariffs and profit distribution among the Uesugi retainers, but just talk about Yiyin subsidizing the market, purchasing at 30% higher and selling at 30% lower, which is enough for these samurai families to make a lot of money.
The Wu family, who are smarter, could pool their own money to buy goods and sell them to Guandong merchants or simply buy shares in the caravan. Wouldn't they earn more than this 40,000 yuan?
After entering the Guandong Plain, the price of goods worth 300,000 guan can rise to one million guan.
But they are not greedy enough to let go of this mere 40,000 yuan. In Echigo, it caused anger and resentment, and even led to civil strife.
Are these people out of their minds?
Uesugi Teruhu was also annoyed, she said coldly with a sneer on her face.
"Isn't it just that the heart is blocked by greed? I can cure this disease.
Kill some people, bleed some, smear your face with blood. Your mind will be clear and your thoughts will be clear. "
Yoshigan was originally trembling with anger, but he calmed down after being overwhelmed by Uesugi Teruhora's murderous words.
He thought for a while and shook his head.
"No, we can't go to war."
Uesugi Teruhu looked at him in surprise and asked.
"These bastards are already jumping on top of you and me, why are they still here? Kill them all with one knife."
Yoshigage's right index finger pointed at Terutora Uesugi's forehead, almost poking it, and he cursed.
"Can you solve the problem just by knowing how to kill? You don't know how deep the water is in your retainers?
Your direct ministers, close to the banner, generational retainers, dependent local people, old guardian retainers who have surrendered, the Nagao clan, and the two Nagao families.
How many people do you think have taken advantage of the tax rebate? Is there no one behind those who follow the common people? Which pawn are you going to kill? What should I do if someone takes advantage of troubled waters and kills someone with a borrowed knife?
With this sword strike, how many people will be killed? ten people? Fifty people? One hundred people? You can give orders to kill, but can you guarantee that you will kill only those who deserve to be killed? Your eyes are red with blood, can you hold back the knife?
By then, it will be a mess, and the tax refund issue will still be unclear, but it will be in a mess. "
Teru Uesugi was speechless.
She does things in a rough and direct manner, and even if she knows the twists and turns, she doesn't bother to figure them out.
With the hilt of the knife in hand, the quick knife can cause chaos, but there is so much trouble!
