After a conversation between the four of them, the trouble caused by the tax rebate from the second public servant was finally solved.
Yiyin said.
"When you go back, first take out the reserve funds from Zhijiang Jinguan and distribute them to the Zhongxiayue warrior family. Don't be too strict about the quantity. If you can't calculate, just use more.
The issue of public tax rebate review can be dealt with a little later and thought more thoroughly. "
Yiyin doesn't care anymore.
Anyway, this time the person who was taken advantage of has been confirmed, so he might as well be a good guy and fight to the end, using money and food to buy a wave of favorability.
Of course Teru Uesugi had no objection.
Although the Uesugi family also had a share of the reserve fund, this matter was the fault of the Uesugi family, and she, the master, had no choice but to pay for it with Yoshihiro.
Just when the two masters were frustrated and paying, there was a knock on the door outside the government hall.
Yiyin frowned.
"What's up?"
The sliding door opened, and Pu Sheng clan kowtowed to the ground and said.
"Your Highness, there is urgent news from Lord Shimada of Honzo in Tomei City."
Yiyin said with an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Bring it to me and see."
After sending the letter to Pushengshixiang, he withdrew.
Yiyin read the ten lines at a glance and looked up to the sky with a sigh.
One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen. What the hell is this Echigo country! There is no martial artist who makes people worry-free!
Can't there be more Girihime warriors under Teru Uesugi's command? Learn from the martial arts masters of the Shiba family, how reliable they are.
The Echigo samurai would turn against him if they were even slightly dissatisfied. No wonder Terutora Uesugi had such a bad temper. He didn't like to use his brains, but he liked to use his sword.
Yiyin felt that even after ruling this hellish place for a few years, he would be irritable and would draw his sword to attack first when something happened.
Seeing Yoshigin's gloomy expression, Uesugi Teruhu asked.
"Mr. Qianxin, what happened?"
Yiyin smiled bitterly.
"My village, Fanchang, urgently reports that Xinfa Tiancheng is hoarding military supplies and seems to have counter-intentions."
Uesugi Teru's face darkened.
"Is the news correct?"
Yiyin nodded heavily.
“It’s probably not wrong.
Before winter, a large amount of supplies from Aizu entered the central Shimotsu area, which was extremely abnormal.
Honjo Shigenaga sent people to investigate carefully and found that the supplies came from the Ashina family and the Date family. They were all grain and military equipment, and their destination was Shinbada Castle.
It's almost winter, so why send a large amount of military supplies to Xiayue? It can't be a business, right? "
Teru Uesugi cursed.
"This bastard Xinfa Tian Changdun is so brave. When I reorganize my armaments, I will catch her by surprise in the spring."
Before Uesugi Teruhu finished speaking, there was another knock on the door. Yoshigan was even more irritable and shouted impatiently.
"What's the matter!"
The sliding door opened, and Pu Sheng fell to the ground and saluted. Behind her, Honjo Sano was actually saluting together, which made the two masters feel uncomfortable.
Teru Uesugi said.
"What's going on? My dear, why are you here?"
Honjo Minoru looked serious and said to the two masters.
"The Guardian of China has received an urgent message from His Highness the Divine Protector Nagasaki. There is trouble in Nanao Castle.
His Highness Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna killed the important minister Onai Sosada and was driven out of Nanao Castle by the retainers. He is now seeking asylum in the Yuechujijinbo family.
His Highness Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna asked for help from you and the Imperial Palace, hoping to get help in regaining the family property. "
Teru Uesugi cursed.
"Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna misunderstood me!"
Shiba Yiyin's face was ashen, and the Hokuriku Road trade route was in trouble.
The Nakasendo Road in central Japan is a rugged mountain road. Since ancient times, the main commercial routes in Kanto and Kansai have been on the east and west sides of Honshu Island in Japan.
Two coastlines extend northward, which are the two traffic routes, Tokaido and Hokuriku Expressway.
In the past few decades, the Imagawa family of Tokaido has risen. Imagawa Yoshimoto repaired internal affairs internally, engaged in external diplomacy, and opened the Tokaido trade route.
Imagawa Furniture City and Sunfu City have become the main channels for business logistics in Kanto and Kansai.
However, due to the chaos in the Hokuriku Road, Kaga and the Etsuchu clan were in trouble one after another, resulting in unrest on the trade route and the decline of commerce.
Yoshigan Shiba went to Echigo as an envoy and walked along the Hokuriku Road to persuade Echizen Tsuruga to the Asakura family, the Noto Hatakeyama family, and the Echigo Uesugi family.
With the help of the already existing seaport trade, the Hokuriku Road trade route was re-opened, skipping the Kaga Country and part of Yuechu China controlled by Ichibuki Mun.
Echizen Tsuruga Port, Noto Nanao Port, and Echigo Naoetsu are the three fulcrums of the Hokkaido trade route and shipping.
Nowadays, the Noto Hatakeyama family is in civil strife, and Nanao Castle is out of the control of Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna. Merchants involved in logistics must be thinking about reassessing the risks of taking the Hokuriku Do trade route.
It is not impossible to go directly from Tsuruga Port to Naoetsu. However, without the transfer station Nanao Port, merchant ships must increase their storage of food and drinking water and reduce their storage of cargo, and the cost is much higher.
In addition, Hokuriku has been shipping since ancient times, but Japan's shipbuilding technology is very average, and sea-going ships are more likely to be damaged by wind and waves. Without Nanao Port transit repairs, the risk factor for shipping will also increase significantly.
The Hokuriku Expressway carried 30% of the goods from Sakai Port last year, attracting the attention of a large number of local merchants.
Now is the time to continue our efforts. Sakai Port Takada Yono has already expressed his determination to Shiba Yiyin that this year, 70% of Kansai's goods will be transported through the Hokuriku Road.
At this time, the Noto Hatakeyama family was in trouble and civil strife broke out. How could Yoshigoshi Shiba not be angry?
When Jinbo Choji accepted Shiba Yoshigan's conditions, formed an alliance with Uesugi Teruhora, and sent her back to the country, the temptation of Hokurikudo's business interests was a very important bargaining chip.
The Hokurikudo trade route, which Jinbochō was lucky enough to benefit from, was to get goods from Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna at Nanao Port. Sibo Yiyin takes the initiative and provides goods at low prices to subsidize the Shenbao Family.
With the low-priced goods from Nanao Port, the Shinbo Nagasaki will be able to bribe the martial arts families in Yuezhong, and have enough money and food to attack the Shiina family and guard against the Yuezhong Ixiang clan.
It was because she was firmly seated in Echigo that the west of Echigo country could be at peace, and she could concentrate on preparing for the Kanto strategy.
Now Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna has lost Nanao Castle and the goods of Nanao Port. How can the long-term minister of God protect China stably? Of course, he is too anxious to do anything.
If the situation between Vietnam and China is corrupted, how can Echigo safely send troops to the Kanto Plain.
Damn it, what are you really afraid of?
Sibo Yiyin was confused and trembling with anger.
The Noto Hatakeyama family has been in decline over the years. The family governor, Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, has lost all his power and can only hold on to the main castle. Nanao Castle is not lost.
However, once the Houriku Road trade road was opened, the commercial profits of Nanao Castle's port town increased greatly, which would inevitably stimulate the Noto Hatakeyama retainers group.
This idiot, Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, actually used the most drastic means to solve the problem. She directly killed the leading powerful minister in the retainer group, which caused a violent backlash and was driven out of Nanao Castle.
The Shimotsu Shinbada Rebellion was imminent, and the civil strife in the Noto Hatakeyama family also affected the security of the western part of Echigo Kingdom. The Kanto strategy, which was supposed to be launched in the spring of next year, had to be suspended.
Yiyin's head was swollen, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts with so many threads.
Just after the threat from Shinano Country in the south was suppressed, there was a conflict within Joetsu over tax refunds. Now, new crises have broken out in the east and west directions of Echigo.
Why is it so difficult to do something serious in this Echigo country? What the hell is this place!
