Yoshigan Shiba can no longer pretend to be a werewolf, and if he continues to pretend, he will take the route planned by Umino Riichi.
At that time, the Uesugi and Shiba families will start another fierce battle over the dominance of food and land distribution.
Uesugi Teruhu prepares to suppress the Uesugi Retainer Group's food grabbing operation for the sake of the Yoshino Bank. If Yoshigage was planning a conspiracy here and stabbed him in the back, how could he be worthy of Uesugi Terutora, who was sincere in his feelings?
He simply revealed his identity and stopped pretending. I am on the side of the civilians. The Ji warriors thought they had understood the meaning just now, but when Yi Yin burst out like this, they were immediately confused again.
Umino Riichi carefully observed Shiba Yoshigami and couldn't figure out whether the Odaisho was being pretentious or just being stupid.
she probed.
"What the Odaisho means is that by blocking the Uesugi retainers' food plan, you are not seeking to take the lead in post-war land distribution, but you are showing pity for the people of the Kanto Plain?"
"yes."
Umino Riichi suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. She looked at Yoshiyin's handsome face like a fairy, but she didn't dare to mistake this person for White Lotus.
He killed from Owari to Konki, and from Konki to Kanto. He killed many people, and he became a famous samurai man who attracted the attention of the world.
Umino Riichi's cold voice sounded in the room, looking extremely cold.
"There are sixty-six countries in the world, with a stone height of 20 million and a population of 10 million. There is always a certain amount of land that can support the population.
Who doesn’t want to have a family full of descendants and multiply innumerable numbers? But destiny cannot be violated and some people have to be taken away.
If we don’t bother with the famine in Guandong, others will. The damned will die, but we will be at a disadvantage because of your mercy.
My ministers are loyal to their opinions, and if they are objectionable to my ears, I ask the emperor to forgive them. "
Although the other Ji warriors did not speak, their eyes showed approval.
There is only so much land and so much food. Someone has to die, and it's better to die to someone else than to die yourself. The most important thing is to get stuck, take advantage of famine, and make the family business more prosperous.
In troubled times, when will no one die? What is the difference between death by sword and gun and death by famine? Yutaisuo is a bit pretentious.
Yiyin looked around the room. He knew that his moral values were completely different from those of these Ji warriors.
Even in previous lives, in war-torn foreign lands, animals would lead animals to eat humans. A civilization like the Celestial Empire that has denied animal nature and insisted on the goodness of human nature since ancient times is inherently alien.
Yiyin's requirements are not high. He has no hope of saving the famished civilians and has no intention of being a savior. His benevolent intention was simply not to rob, and Echigo would solve the food problem on his own.
The height of the Echigo stone is 400,000 stone, and the failure of the harvest is 40 to 50% less, which is a shortfall of 200,000 stone.
One stone here was about 130 kilograms in the previous life, and 200,000 stones was 2,600 tons. Even for brown rice, the price is astronomical in this world, and transportation is even more difficult.
But it is impossible for the Echigo samurai family not to collect grain from their territory just because of the disaster. The actual food gap is about 30% to 40%, which is more than 60,000 dan.
The people in Echigo will also starve and some people will die. Yoshigan can pretend not to see it.
But if the Echigo army lets go and starts looting in Kanto, it is foreseeable that the Ueno Musashi Ryogoku, which has failed to harvest on a large scale, will be empty and empty, and it will turn into hell.
Yiyin can offset the food gap of more than 60,000 koku by buying food and using Hokuriku Road business profits, but he must solve two problems first.
First, persuade the Shiba family to use all their strength to prevent the Uesugi retainers from grabbing grain.
Second, it is to ensure that after the food gap is filled, the Echigo army conducting the Kanto Raiders will not go out of their way to grab food.
Umino Riichi's strategy has proven that the wolves of the Shiba family are no more kind than the hungry wolves of the Uesugi family, they are just beasts.
Regardless of whether it is Shiba's force or Uesugi's force, who can use Hokurikudo's business profits to make up for the food gap with Yiyin?
Even if you agree, food in a famine is more precious than gold. Who would have too much? Even if the righteous silver buys back the food, it will make up for the gap. They will still rob, taking the master's orders as a prude.
Yiyin only felt powerless, he was trying to trick the mantis. But the last string in his heart refused to break, making him unwilling to become a beast.
I won't steal it! Even the Echigo army was not allowed to rob it!
What Umino Riichi said was said by Terutora Uesugi and Takeshi Shimakatsu, and he understood them all.
But Yiyin knows that he must stick to this seemingly worthless bottom line. Disaster relief is impossible, there is no food and no one to support, and Yiyin only protects its own bottom line.
Taking a step back, he will become a true martial artist, no longer a civilized man looking down on the barbarians.
Deep down in his heart, he always despised this sick martial society. He was a civilized person from the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life, not a barbarian from the Wu family in this life.
I'm sorry I can't throw away this pride in my bones.
Yoshigan looked at the eloquent Umino Riichi and said with contempt.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, is a natural principle and not a human principle. As a human being, you must have a heart of awe and do what you do and what you don't do.
I have been in Guandong for more than a year. I always put justice first and share benefits with others. I want to work together with His Highness Uesugi to restore order.
You tell me now that I was wrong and that I should also grab it. So what's the difference between me and those wild dog-like warriors wandering around the Guandong Plain?
Two days ago, someone told me. The strong make the rules and the weak follow the rules, I deeply believe that.
Umino Riichi! Whether you say death by sword or famine, there is no difference between the two.
Then let me tell you, there is a big difference between dying from order and dying from chaos!
I, Shiba Yiyin, came to Kanto and tried my best to promote the Kanto strategy. The purpose is to calm the chaos in the Kanto Plain and restore order to the Kanto Plain.
People in the Kanto Plain can starve to death, but they cannot die under the food grabbing of Echigo's army. This is my bottom line.
I want to establish laws, rebuild order, and return a peaceful world to Guandong! Whoever crosses this bottom line is my enemy!
I, Sibo Yiyin, will not rob it, and my subordinates are not allowed to rob it either. The restoration of order in the world begins with my principles. "
Yoshigami's categorical words aroused the awe of the girls, but in the eyes of Umino Ri, they were meaningless.
In the troubled times of the Wu family, there are powerful and ambitious daimyo who don't want to restore order and become the master of the world. Is it useful to talk high-pitched words? Will the martial artists below buy it?
But Yoshigan Shiba's ambition is greater than Umino Riichi imagined. She thought that Shiba Yiyin wanted to seize the right to distribute food, and the goal was the fruits of victory after the success of the Kanto Strategy.
However, this Otaisuo aimed at establishing a new order and wanted to drive the Kanto warriors into his own cage and play according to his new rules.
This ambition is too great. It cannot be achieved by shouting a few slogans and then using justice to suppress people.
Only iron and blood can tame the human heart. Only with one hand of law and one hand of sword and gun can people follow their own rules.
Umino Riichi keenly felt that under Shiba Yoshigage's awe-inspiring declaration, he actually had a struggle that was different from ordinary samurai.
Although she didn't know what was buried deep in the heart of the imperial court, she was not optimistic about this matter.
The Wu family are hungry wolves, not domestic dogs, so the food issue is not so easy to solve. The truth is that the belly is always bigger than the reason.
