Yiyin knew that there was nothing he could do to stop it, so what he did was actually to cover his ears and make his conscience feel better.
If we don’t grab food, those victims will still die. The martial arts families in the Guandong Plain are not good at fighting each other, and they will also fight among themselves.
Moreover, Shima Shengmeng's words already contained a method of coping. She said it’s okay if she doesn’t rob her? In fact, it is implying buying and selling.
No matter how domineering Yiyin is, he can't stop the Wu family from buying food, right? The Tokaido trade route was blocked due to the war, the Hokuriku trade route must have benefited greatly, and the Naoetsu market must have become increasingly prosperous.
When Echigo had money, of course he had to spend it, especially the samurai family's favorite thing to buy was weapons and rations.
Food in disaster years is more precious than gold. If Echigo didn't rob it, others would rob it, and then sell it to rich bosses. Yes, it's the Echigo samurai family.
To live, people need food, salt, iron and cloth. Food is more expensive and easier to sell, and it is more cost-effective to buy other things. The Kanto warriors hurriedly snatched it away and sold it to Echigo's enemies.
Is there any essential difference between this and Echigo grabbing food by himself?
There is an extra layer of business and less bloodshed. Wasn't this crime committed by the Ji warrior under Shiba Yiyin? Can Shiba Yiyin tolerate this crime?
hypocritical! But he had no choice, because this was the tragedy of the farming era.
Before industrialization, without enough chemical fertilizers, it was impossible to completely solve the problem of eating. The only effective way is to store grain to prepare for shortages in good years and open warehouses to provide disaster relief in bad years.
Without the mature bureaucracy of the Celestial Dynasty, could the chaotic Wu family society do it? Even if I do it reluctantly, is it allowed in these troubled times?
The only thing Yiyin can do is to hide his ears and steal the bell, keeping his eyes out of sight. Even if he wants to be hypocritically kind, he still has to spend all his energy to fight for it.
In order to make his conscience feel better, he had to flatter Uesugi Teruhora and come to Shima Katsu fierce mugwort. After I got out of bed, I had to rush to Xia Yue without stopping to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yukimori Yamazaka.
In the room, the two of them were silent. They said everything they should say and did everything they shouldn't do.
Yiyin stood up and said.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave tomorrow."
Shima Sheng stared at him fiercely and asked.
"Master, are you going to Xinfatian City?"
Yiyin's figure froze, but he didn't speak.
He is indeed going to Xinfatian City to meet Yukimori Yamanaka. But remembering the duel between Shima Katsuki and Yamanaka Yukimori in the snow outside Yasuda Castle Hall, he couldn't say a word.
He was so scared.
Dao Sheng glanced at his master's face and knew that he had guessed well, and couldn't help but feel furious.
"Odaisuo, Yamanaka Yukimori is an incompetent person, she can't help you."
"But do I have any other choice?"
Shima Shengmeng fell silent.
Although Yamanaka Yukimori was incompetent, after the Shinbada Rebellion, he still managed to control Honjo Shigenaga and Kachi Kagetsuna, and he had the capital to challenge Wajima Katsu.
In order for Shiba Yiyin to implement his bottom line of not robbing food, he must first integrate the thoughts of all parties in Kanto Shiba, and Yamanaka Yukimori is a link that cannot be bypassed.
Dao Shengmeng was confused and said subconsciously.
"Will Odaisho sleep with her?"
Yiyin suddenly turned back to look at her, his eyes seemed unyielding and humiliated. He was just worried about Shima Sheng suddenly triggering the Shura field incident, but he didn't expect that this guy was so stupid and said the wrong thing.
Shiba Yiyin quickly put forward his acting skills and pretended to be unbelievable, "How can you humiliate me like this? Am I not your dearest master?"
After Dao Shengmeng said this, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly kowtowed to the ground and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. I have behaved inappropriately, please punish me."
She waited for a long time, but saw no response from Yiyin, so she secretly looked up at him. I saw him on the verge of tears, speechless and choked with sobs.
Yiyin said as if he was giving up on himself.
"You're right, I just want to sleep with Yamanaka Yukimori.
I will sleep with anyone who can help me. It turns out that in your heart, I am such a person.
OK, very good. "
Yiyin bit his lower lip, seemingly strong, and Shima Sheng scolded himself for being shameless.
She reached out and was about to slap herself, but Yiyin held her back.
"What are you hitting? If you let outsiders see the scars, will you misunderstand me sleeping with you again?"
Yiyin's words became strange, and Dao Shengmeng felt his chest was tight and sighed.
"Odaisho, I said something wrong. Even if you ask me to commit seppuku, I can accept it.
But please don't underestimate yourself, I just. . I just. . "
Dao Sheng was confused and didn't know what to say.
Yiyin knelt down, hugged her, and whispered in her ear.
"Shimahime, do you know?
I've slept with many people, from Owari, to Kongeki, to Kanto. For the sake of the revival of the Shiba family, my body has long been dirty.
But believe it or not, I’m going to tell you. In Echigo, I only slept with you. "
Yiyin calculated in his mind.
Yukimori Yamazaka slept in Koriyama Castle in Yamato. Together with Takeda Harunobu, Kosaka Masanobu, Sanada Nobushige, and Tenkai slept in Shinano Province.
Terutora Uesugi hugged her a lot but didn't go to bed. Yoshigan really only had sex with Shimakatsu twice in Echigo.
He suddenly felt at ease that he had not lied.
Dao Shengmeng didn't know that Yiyin was feeling dirty. She only saw the faint sadness on Yiyin's face that showed excellent acting skills, and she blamed herself even more.
"Otai Suo, it's my fault. I made you sad by talking nonsense."
Yiyin gently covered her mouth with his hand and kissed her forehead.
"Stop talking, I know.
Many things are not what I want, but I have come to this point, and I am willing to carry on and move forward.
If you mind, I won't come to you again. "
Shima Sheng grabbed Yiyin's hand fiercely, moved it away from his mouth, and said hurriedly.
"I don't mind, Godaisho, I really don't mind.
Me to you. . "
Yiyin smiled and interrupted her.
"I know."
Yiyin lowered his head and blocked her lips, making her speechless.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Ii Naomasa, who was alert outside, looked worriedly at the room behind him.
The Lord has been talking to Lord Dao for a long time, do you still need dinner? The Lord works hard day and night, and it is impossible not to eat. How can the body bear it?
———
Early the next morning, outside Tomei City.
Shiba Yoshigan led his fellow soldiers and marched northeast along the Echigo Mountains, heading towards Shibata Castle, where the Kanto Palace was located in Shimochi.
Naomasa Ii looked at Yoshiyin's deep dark circles and said worriedly.
"Otai Suo, you had a deep conversation with Mr. Shima last night, and you didn't even bother to eat. Mr. Shima helped bring dinner and breakfast.
You work so hard, staying up all night and busy with state affairs, how can your body bear it?
Why don’t we rest for a day at Tongwei City and continue our journey tomorrow. "
Yiyin looked back at Tonglewei City and shook his head. Looking at his appearance, Ii Naomasa actually had the illusion that the emperor was afraid of him.
Yiyin said.
"I can't stay any longer. My body will be too much to bear if I stay any longer. It's better to get on the road as soon as possible."
Ii Naomasa blinked his big eyes, still confused, but Yoshigami had already rushed out with a pinch on the horse's belly.
On Torowei City, Daosheng looked fiercely at the cavalry heading east, thinking a lot and looking at it silently.
