Uesugi Teruhora didn't understand Ina Chuji's thoughts. Leaving her hometown to come to Echigo and join the imperial court was a rare opportunity in her life.
Ina Chuji was from a low background, and he only had some experience in water conservancy. He hoped to rely on this skill to marry his husband and take care of his daughter in order to achieve a prosperous family business.
Sibo Yiyin gave her a chance, and of course she had to seize it. After passing this village, there may not be this shop.
Japan is barren, with seven mountains, two rivers and one farmland. To implement the water conservancy layout, a large plain is required.
Ina Chuji missed the performance of the Echigo Plains, and if he wants to use what he has learned in his life, does he expect to have the opportunity to go to Musashi Province to control the floods in the Kanto Plains in the future?
Water conservancy construction is a major event that consumes countless money and food, and there are a few military families who are willing to invest money in this aspect. In troubled times, when you have too much time to take care of yourself, money and food are your lifeblood.
Ina Chuji worked hard to come up with a detailed water conservancy plan for a period of three years.
After reading the story, Daxiong Chaohide was so impressed that he sent her directly to Naoetsu, where Ishida Mitsunari was asked to participate in the tax rebate review for the second husband, which brought a huge trouble to Naoe Keizuna.
Teru Uesugi frowned and asked.
"If this person's plan is feasible, then go for it. Farming is fundamental, and water conservancy is conducive to farming. Why is it difficult?"
At the beginning, Sibo Yiyin proposed to rebate the public tax, saying that it would be used for repairs such as local transportation and water conservancy construction. But in fact, most of the money and food are divided among each family.
Teruhora Uesugi didn't care about this either, because she knew that Shiba Yiyin just wanted to lower the tax rate from six public and four citizens to four public and six citizens and use the Hokuriku Road trade route to subsidize the vacancies.
The second tax rebate is a favor, reducing the burden on Echigo's domestic localities and making them grateful. Only by stabilizing the internal situation can we launch the Kanto strategy externally.
Although the Uesugi retainers will definitely take the lion's share of the evaluation of the tax rebate for the two public officials, if there is some benefit left to the local government, it is better than the previous heavy tax of six public officials and four citizens.
But when Ina Chuji's plan came out, Uesugi Teruhu thought it was pretty good. Splitting money is the best strategy, and doing a good job in water conservancy in the Echigo Plain will benefit everyone in the long run.
Echigo country is divided into three regions: upper, middle and lower Echigo. The main grain-producing areas are the Takata Plain in Joetsu, the Echigo Plain in Nakashita, and the small Kashiwazaki Plain sandwiched in the mountains between the two.
Nakaxia Etsu accounts for 70% of Echigo's military and grain services. If water conservancy can be improved to reduce the difficulty of farming and increase grain production, it will be a great thing to increase national power.
In ancient times, food was population, military strength, and the foundation of rule.
Teruhora Uesugi understands this, and so does Naoe Keetsuna. But the reality is not that simple. Naoe Keizuna was almost driven crazy by this incident.
She smiled bitterly.
"Your Highness, water conservancy construction is a good thing. But Ina Chuji's plan is too radical. The water conservancy construction will last for three years, and her budget is one hundred thousand guan."
Terutora Uesugi glanced at the depressed Naoe Keizuna, and finally understood where she was in trouble. Thinking that Ina Chuji was sent by Shiba Yoshigan, Uesugi Terutora suddenly understood and wanted to laugh a little.
Is this considered revenge?
Previously, the Uesugi retainers group behind the Uesugi gang swallowed up the tax return of the second father. Shiba Yigen was furious and sent Daxiong Chaohide to deal with these bastards.
As a result, Naoe Keizuna came forward to coordinate, starting from the shortcomings of Daokuma Asahi's attack on the azabu market, and counterattacked Shiba Yoshigan's army.
Not only did the beating matter end without any problem, but Yoshigage Shiba and Teruhora Uesugi pinched their noses and allocated a sum of money and food from Naoetsu's reserves to appease the samurai families on the outskirts of Nakagoshitsu.
The group of Uesugi retainers who had swallowed the food rebate from the second public tax pretended to be stupid and refused to pay back the money, turning the misappropriated reserves into bad debts.
Yoshigan Shiba didn't come to his senses at that time. When he came to his senses, could he not vent his anger on the cunning Naoe Keizuna?
Uesugi Teruhora was used to being tricked by Uesugi's retainers, so he wouldn't be surprised by anything these bastards did, but Yoshigan Shiba was different.
Since his debut, he has never tolerated sand in his eyes. Scam him out of his money, make him hold his nose and admit defeat, stop dreaming!
Look, isn’t revenge coming now?
Naoe Keizuna knows how to be a good person, and her two-faced appearance makes Shiba Yigen suffer the loss of being dumb, so he can't resent her.
Well, Yoshihiro Shiba will send Ina Chuji here to help the Echigo Plain with water conservancy projects seriously. Let Naoe Keizuna, the leader of the Uesugi retainers group, have a headache!
The stone of Echigo Kingdom is 400,000 dan high, with six princes and four citizens. The tax received from the fields is about 240,000 dan, and the tax rebate from the second prince is about 80,000 dan, which translates into 40,000 guan of money and grain.
Ina Chuji's plan was to pay 100,000 guan in three years, but the total amount of money and food repaid by Ergong for three years was only 120,000 guan, so there was a problem.
The Zhongxiayue Wu family took away 100,000 guan to build water conservancy projects, while the upper Yue family could only get 20,000 guan in three years, which was less than 7,000 guan a year.
Joetsu is the base of the Fuchu Nagao family, and many important officials of the Uesugi retainers have their territories in the Takata Plains and Kashiwazaki Plains.
Let these important ministers take care of their little heads in peace? Stop dreaming! Whether the water conservancy of the Echigo Plain is good, whether farming is easy, whether the grain yield is high or not, they do their dirty work!
Taking the overall situation into consideration? nonexistent! The Wu family is all selfish, and the overall situation is important!
However, the Nagao family of Ueda, the Nagao family of Furushi, and the Naomito faction led by Saito Asanobu, who were enfeoffed in China and Vietnam, were close to the Hatamoto faction, but they were able to benefit from the water conservancy construction.
As a result, the Uesugi retainers corps quarreled with the peripheral samurai families, the Joetsu samurai clan and the Chuetsu samurai clan within the Uesugi retainers corps quarreled, and the two public tax return evaluations completely turned into a mess.
Isn’t Naoe Keizuna, the most important official of the Uesugi family, very good at making peace with others? Sibo Yiyin said, why don’t you show me how to reconcile again!
Naoe Kanetsugu in front was about to cry. Naoe Keetsuna behind him couldn't withstand the pressure from all parties and could only come to Uesugi Teruhora to ask, what should we do about this matter?
In other words, kick the ball to Terutora Uesugi.
Uesugi Teruhora asked and looked at Naoe Keetsuna with dissatisfaction.
According to her thoughts, it would be a good thing to do a good job in Echigo water conservancy construction and enhance national strength. There are still people who object to such a good thing, and they want to bring it up in front of me. Isn't it too badass?
She snorted and said.
“The Ergong tax rebate was originally established to benefit local areas and build transportation and water conservancy.
The money and food lost by each family have been doubled back from the Hokuriku Road trade route. Still think it’s less? Not satisfied yet?
You are not good at water conservancy, but the Royal Taiwan Institute of Water Resources has hired water conservancy experts to help you with construction. Why are you still dissatisfied?
Ridiculous! How unreasonable!
I don't care about this matter, you can talk about it yourself. Naoe Keetsuna also agreed with the establishment of the Ergong Tax Refund Review Committee.
Now that we can't reach an agreement, you come to me again? Do you not have the guts to speak to Odaisho, or do you think I, Uesugi Teruhora, am easy to bully?
Let me tell you, I don’t care about the bad debts from Jiangjin’s reserve fund last time. This time, haha, I don’t care! "
Teru Uesugi flatly refused.
