Yamanaka Yukimori listened for a long time and asked without getting a clue.
"What does this have to do with the Wenzhu Office? What does the Wenzhu Office and the Imperial Office have to do with preventing the Uesugi retainers from robbing grain?
You talked for a long time, and I became even more confused. "
"Yamanaka-hime, listen carefully!"
Yoshigan raised his eyebrows and was so stern that he stopped Yamanaka Yukimori from interrupting Umino Riichi.
He himself was confused when he heard it, and was trying to understand the meaning of the words, so that he could use it to deceive the Spo retainers in the future.
Umino Riichi still looked like a cold child, and continued without joy or anger.
"The ministers harmed the public and enriched their private lives, and the Wu family landlords also transferred their land to the names of famous families, and as a result, their lives became even more tiring.
Not only did the ministers want land profits, but they also asked Ji warriors to act as dogs for them and protect them with force.
They had to hand over money and food, and people had to die in battle. The martial artists gradually became unbearable.
The Taira clan of the Ise Taira clan and the Kawachi Genji family rose up successively. The Taira clan defeated the Kawachi Genji family and became the backbone of the Wu family.
However, Taira Kiyomori of the Taira family took the path of becoming a public official, betraying the desire of the samurai to safeguard their own interests.
As a result, the most oppressed Kanto samurai family couldn't stand it anymore. They supported the direct lineage of the Genji family in Kawachi and started another peace war.
This time, Genji Kawachi won. From then on, all the martial arts families in the world called the elder Yuanshi the pillar of the martial family.
The establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate can be said to be the agrarian revolution of the Samurai family. Under the name of the shogunate, the samurai took control of land ownership for the first time.
The bureau was the place where the shogunate managed all kinds of documents, and its most important responsibility was to arbitrate land disputes between samurai families.
Whether it was the Kamakura shogunate or the current Muromachi shogunate in Kyoto. When the inquiry office becomes a decoration, it is the time when the shogunate loses its power to govern the world. "
Yiyin couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
Before he went to Luo, the service office was reduced to maintaining law and order in Kyoto, and the inquiry office was the Qingshui Yamen that no one cared about. The only real power department that Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the shogunate competed for was the political office.
He had always despised the Inquiry Office, and he also rebuilt the Kanto Office in Kanto. They just want to seize the afterglow of the imperial family system and gain some military power.
Now it seems that the Wenzhushuo is the most important key point of the shogunate, that is, the management department of the samurai family's land ownership.
When the shogunate lost jurisdiction over the samurai lands, it was doomed to decline. No matter how strong the military and financial resources are, sooner or later it will be over if we cannot seize the land.
In the farming era, the most important thing was land. Land is food, population, and the foundation of all strength.
Yoshigan somewhat understood what Umino Riichi meant. She was talking about the distribution of land ownership.
Yamanaka Yukimori thought for a while and asked.
"I acknowledge the importance of the Institute of Inquiry.
So, why did the imperial office stop the Uesugi retainers group from grabbing grain? "
Yoshigan also keeps an eye on Umino Riichi.
Yes, why should I stop the Uesugi retainers from grabbing food? Give me a reason to convince Shiba's retainers!
Umino Riichi still had the same cold face that said the whole world owes me money, and said slowly.
"To use an inappropriate metaphor, if Echigo was a small shogunate.
Because the Odaisho owned the Hokurikudo trade route and controlled money, it represented the government. His Highness Uesugi represents the Imperial Household because of the bravery and proficiency of the Uesugi people and their strong military strength.
The Imperial Sword held by the Royal Platform was used to issue orders and make decisions on behalf of the General. His Highness Uesugi is the governor of Kanto and has arbitration power over the affairs of the ten countries in Kanto.
The titles of the two lords are equal, so who will distribute the land?
Who will represent the institute? "
All the concubines in the room were shocked, yes!
Now that the Kanto strategy has not yet been completed, the two samurai groups of Uesugi Shiba can still work together to help each other.
But what if you achieve your goal and get the land? It is difficult to share hardships together, and it is difficult to share wealth and honor!
As Umino Riichi said, the most important power in the shogunate is to arbitrate the ownership of land.
So in the Echigo duopoly, who will finalize the land ownership of the Kanto Raiders, the Uesugi family and the Shiba family?
Everyone looked at Shiba Yigen with admiration. The Kanto strategy had not yet started, but the Imperial Office had already calculated the post-war distribution. It was really impressive.
Yoshigami Shiba looked at Umino Riichi with complicated eyes. This Sanmu baby face is really amazing, and it can be considered a big help.
An idea flashed through Yamanaka Yukimori's mind, and she grabbed it tightly, clapped her hands suddenly and said.
"Yes! Food in disaster years is more precious than gold. Whoever has the most food after the famine will have the greatest say.
Our military strength is far inferior to that of the Uesugi family. If we go to grab food, how can we defeat them?
In the end, after the war was over, they would naturally be put down by them, and they would definitely suffer in the land distribution. "
Umino Li nodded and said.
“Yes, if grabbing food is strictly prohibited, you can only buy food.
The Hokuriku Road trade route was controlled by the Odaisho, although the Sekisho was shared with the Uesugi family. But in business, we have more decision-making power.
Recently, we can buy food in various places in Hokurikudo, Ou, and even in the countries of the Kanto Plain. It is up to us to decide how much to buy and who to buy from. "
Pushengshixiang listened for a long time, thought carefully, and spoke.
“That’s still not enough to eat.
Food is not an ordinary commodity. Countries in war are short of food, so they may not be willing to sell it. Even if you are willing to sell, transporting it will be troublesome.
It is more troublesome than ordinary products to be affected by moisture, mold, rats and insects. Moreover, it is huge and requires more positions.
Buying grain is not only far inferior to grabbing grain in quantity, but it will also reduce the income of the Hokuriku Road trade route. "
Umino Riichi said coldly.
“You don’t need to use too much of Hokurikudo’s commercial profits in exchange for food, it’s better if the quantity is not enough.
Only by using righteousness to block the Uesugi retainers' food-grabbing opportunities and strictly prohibiting their access to food can we maximize our interests.
We decide who is hungry and who is full. When the land is distributed after the war, we will have a greater say. "
Kamao clan gasped, this cold-faced boy is so cruel.
She deliberately did not allow Echigo to have enough food, and prepared to use food to blackmail the Uesugi retainers into making concessions in order to obtain more benefits.
Kamo clan turned back to look at Shiba Yiyin, did the master also mean this?
Shiba Yoshigan originally thought he had found a way out, but he didn't expect that the idea here was even more cruel, and he was ready to use starvation to force the Uesugi retainers to bow their heads.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The Uesugi retainers are vicious and greedy, and the Shiba family is not a good one either. It's a perfect match.
Yiyin sighed and decided to confess. Otherwise, if Umino Riichi does what he does, the internal conflicts in Echigo will become even more intense.
He was taking advantage of Terutora Uesugi's sincere affection to attack the Uesugi retainers.
Yiyin said.
“I just can’t bear the idea that the Kanto strategy I planned has turned into a beastly attempt to rob Ueno and Musashi of food from both countries.
I want to buy food and try my best to buy enough military rations for the Guandong Raiders. Hokurikudo's business profits have been damaged, so I can make up for the loss by not giving up the Shiba family's share of the profits.
I have no control over how many people starve to death in the Kanto Plain, but they must not starve to death because of the Echigo army's food grab. This is my bottom line. "
After Yiyin finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
