Tobi Castle is the center of Kanto Spo, and not only the two big guys live there. The leaders of each family are also wrapping up their military and political affairs here this year, preparing to return to their territories for the winter.
Daxiong Chaoxiu is in a bad mood these days.
After she joined the Kanto Palace and managed the Hokuriku Road trade route, various families in Echigo became more and more cautious towards her, and there was no longer the contempt and humiliation they had before.
Especially this time, she resolutely sided with the Shiba family and fully mobilized and supported Shima Shengmu to go to the Kawanakajima Plain to help. Shiba Yiyin appreciated her attitude, formally accepted her and entrusted her with important tasks.
But just when she returned triumphantly, she was severely slapped in the face.
The discussion at the Sibo family palace was over. She had just returned to Tongwei City when she received an urgent message from the Chinese and Vietnamese followers.
Daxiong Chaoxiu and his family only received one hundred guans from the tax rebate set by Shiba Yiyin.
Daxiong Chaoxiu’s face was swollen! Who are you looking down on! Does she lack this little money?
Yiyin has been to Kanto a few times recently, but he has no political talents under his command. Almost all business operations were entrusted to Okuma Chaohide, and only one Ishida Mitsunari was assigned as an adjutant to supervise.
Daxiong Chaoxiu gets thousands of dollars of business profits every day. She lacks the benefit of tax rebates from her second father-in-law?
But this is a very bad signal, indicating that although Shiba Yoshigan values her, in the eyes of the Uesugi retainers, she is still a doormat who can be bullied at will.
Daxiong Chaoxiu is no longer the poor guy without a backer. She wrote a letter to Shiba Yiyin crying, and at the same time sent someone to investigate the specific situation of the tax refund of the second husband.
The results of the investigation made her laugh out loud.
The adherents of the Uesugi family were protected too well by Uesugi Teruhu and were too arrogant. This group of arrogant people made a big mistake this time.
It turns out that they were quite wary of Daxiong Chaoxiu, so they divided them at least a hundred times.
Yang Beizhong only allocated fifty guans. Who the hell can tolerate this? The general martial arts family would go crazy, how could those unruly warrior women endure this humiliation?
The territory of Daxiong Chaoxiu's line was only tens of thousands of stones, divided into one hundred strings. The Yangbei Zhong occupies 40% of Echigo's territory, only fifty kan? interesting.
Da Xiong laughed and slapped the ground toward Xiu, the smile on his face getting colder.
The Kanto Strategy is imminent, and the two masters, Uesugi and Shiba, are worried about uniting their internal forces. At this time, the Uesugi disciples are still calculating the 40,000 gu in tax rebates from the second father-in-law, pig brains!
Sure enough, Daxiong Chaoxiu received a reply soon, and Yoshihiro Shiba ordered her to teach the Uesugi family a lesson. The Uesugi family must spit out the tax rebate they swallowed.
The most interesting thing is that the letter not only has the signature of Yoshihiro Shiba, but also the signature of Teru Uesugi.
The two masters only stipulated the time for solving the problem, but did not give any instructions on the scale control.
Daxiong Chaoxiu got the letter and read it three times to make sure he understood it correctly. He immediately looked up to the sky and smiled.
I have endured it for so many years, I never thought I would be able to wait until today! OK OK! If I don’t teach the Uesugi family an unforgettable lesson, I’ll be sorry for pretending to be a grandson all these years!
She immediately held a review and summoned her subordinates to discuss matters.
When the concubines were seated, she was impatient and said solemnly.
"Uesugi followed the yang and yin, and tampered with the benevolent policy established by the emperor. Now the people in Echigo are panicking.
There was an order from the imperial court, ordering me to take back the tax returns of the Second Duke that they had devoured. "
The followers under his command were all talking about it, and one person came out and bowed.
“Sir, this is not easy to handle.
As you know, those people in the Uesugi School are all greedy guys who only eat without spitting out.
They wouldn't know the pain unless they were cruel, but if they were cruel, they would be afraid that His Highness Uesugi wouldn't like it. If the overall situation of cooperation between the two companies is ruined, the government may not be happy. "
Daxiong Chaoxiu said with a smile.
"The letter from the Imperial Office made it clear that this matter must be dealt with urgently, and it did not restrict my means. The letter also had His Highness Uesugi's signature on it.
It seems that His Highness Uesugi is also very angry. "
The men looked at each other from left to right, and the atmosphere gradually became excited.
Peers are enemies. The old guardians of the congregation had always suffered from idleness before, and the Uesugi congregation was very targeted towards them.
Now with the Shangfang sword given by the two masters, I have to kill these bastards.
One person came out of the queue and smiled.
"Since we have the endorsement of two His Highnesses, we simply cut off the Uesugi family's share and stop the strategy of selling low and buying high in the market."
Da Xiong Chao Xiu thought for a moment and shook his head.
"inappropriate.
The cooperation between the two families is of great importance to the overall situation. If the Uesugi people don't follow the rules, we can't bully them too much.
Dividing goods, buying high, and selling low, these three strategies were Odaisho's plan to win over Echigo's people.
If we go too far, the Uesugi family will lose their sense of security and feel that we can break trust at any time and cut off the supply of goods.
Once trust is lost, it will be difficult to build it up again. In the future, our income will decrease and we will not be able to provide money and food to the Lord, and it will not be easy for us. "
Daxiong Chaohide was not thinking about those bastards of the Uesugi family, but for himself.
Doing business is a matter of mutual consent. If one party is too strong, it can cut off the channels at any time. If the other party feels controlled by others, they will naturally choose to be less dependent.
Now that the Hokuriku Road trade route is prosperous, it is a good pole for Daxiong Chaohide to climb up. She couldn't cut off the pole that held her to the top in order to take revenge on the Uesugi family, right?
If she really did this, she would be even more stupid than Uesugi.
Another person came out and said.
"To make the Uesugi family suffer and spit out two cents of tax rebate, we must scare them. Cutting off all share and market will ultimately hurt both sides.
But if we only find one bulk cargo that we have the advantage to use to intimidate, it is still feasible. "
Da Xiong raised his eyebrows towards Xiu, looked at this Ji, and asked.
"Which one do you want to cut off?"
"linen."
Big Bear lowered his head towards Xiu and thought.
"go on."
"Sir, the Ming Dynasty goods and Nanban goods shipped from the Hokuriku Road are mostly luxury goods and specialties. I can't stop the Uesugi family for a while.
But linen is different.
Salt, iron, rice, and rice are all necessities of life, and there is no shortage of them in Echigo. But the green hemp cloth woven from the green hemp grown in Echigo was of the highest quality.
Most of the Kanto samurai families were poor, and the Echigo samurai family always transported green linen cloth to Kyoto for sale, and then purchased cheap and low-quality linen cloth for their own use.
Ever since we opened up Naoetsu, the Joetsu samurai family has made a lot of money.
Merchant ships coming to Echigo cannot return to Tsuruga Port empty-handed. Now Echigo's green hemp cloth is sold to us at a 30% discount, and we don't have to worry about transportation.
The linen we shipped from recent times was sold to the local samurai family at a price lower than 30% of the price in the Kanto market. Even if they don't use it all themselves, they can still make a small profit by selling it to Kanto cloth merchants. "
Daxiong clapped his hands towards Xiu and said with a smile.
"Okay! This is a good idea!"
Before all the words had been spoken, Daxiong Chaohide understood everything. Azabu was indeed the Achilles heel of the Uesugi retainers.
On the one hand, most of the samurai who can play with market price differences are near Naoetsu.
This is the Takata Plains, and the Uesugi family's base is, of course, the territory of the Uesugi family's important officials.
On the other hand, although Uesugi Teruhu promised to go beyond the outer samurai family, he would share the profits and grow green hemp.
But it had only been more than half a year, and the related planting and textile industries had not yet spread, and the bulk of the profits from green hemp cloth were still in the hands of the Uesugi retainers.
Restricting all goods will definitely cause big trouble, but targeting linen, a bulk commodity, is acceptable to the market.
The tax rebate for the Second Duke was a benevolent policy set by Shiba Yiyin, but Uesugi insisted on making it a bad policy. The imperial office was so shameless!
No one had anything to say when Da Xiong Chao Xiu came forward to slap Uesugi and seek justice for the middle and lower outskirts of the samurai family.
