Naoe Keizuna saw Daxiong Chaohide being so proud that he seemed to mention it unintentionally.
“The grain purchase plan for the Guandong Strategy requires a reserve of 80,000 shi of grain to supply military supplies.
Now that the 40,000 shi are secure, what about the remaining 40,000 shi? "
Naoe Keizuna bowed slightly, seemingly discussing the matter with sincerity. Daxiong Chaoxiu knew that she was nitpicking, but she had to answer this question.
They are both old enemies who have been together for many years, and it is clear what each side is thinking.
Da Xiong Chao Xiu's mission was completed, but she had to consider the overall situation. Only by knowing how to share your worries can you show your loyalty.
She secretly scolded Naoe Keizuna for looking for trouble. No wonder she couldn't give birth to a daughter. Sooner or later, the family fortune would become cheaper for Naoe Kanetsugu, the daughter-in-law who brought her into the family, but she said solemnly on her face.
"It is indeed much more difficult than me in recent aspects. Although there is waterway assistance, the loss along the way is much higher than mine. I estimate the loss should be three to one.
However, Lord Harano Takada of Sakai Port has written a letter stating that she is very confident in completing the mission.
The Osaka Plain, which includes the three countries of Settsu, Kawachi, and Izumi, has a high grain yield. It is around Sakai Port, and Lord Harono Takada has purchased a large amount of military rations.
Lake Biwa in Omi Province is the gateway to Hokurikudo from Omi, and Omi Province is the richest country in the world. With the full help of the adults in Spoland in recent days, we will definitely be able to buy some food.
The most important thing is that the Oda family, which occupies the Nobi Plain, is willing to sell grain. The stone height of Nongwei Plain exceeds one million stone. As long as her family is willing to let go, it will not be a problem to buy tens of thousands of stone of food.
The stone height of Shikoku in Hokuriku is 1.5 million koku. Although the drought this year is not as severe as Echigo Kanto, it has been slightly affected, and I can still get tens of thousands of koku in food.
I believe that with the ability of Mr. Takada Yono in Sakai Port, the recent 80,000 koku food mission will be successfully completed, with only a lot more. "
Naoe Keizuna said.
"Eighty thousand stones, a loss of three to one, that is, more than 20,000 stones, there is still a lot missing.
Do you want to try it from other aspects? I can think of something. "
Seeing Naoe Keizuna holding on to the military ration figures, Shiba Yiyin frowned slightly.
Of course he knew that Naoe Keitsuna was using this to put pressure on Okuma Chaohide, because the grain purchase plan was solely responsible for the followers of the Shiba clan.
If you want to get involved, you must first find some problems before you can offer help. But Yoshihiro Shiba really didn't want Naoe Keizuna to get involved in the grain purchase plan.
Even if there is less food, it is still better than letting those bastards from the Uesugi family reach out. Who knows when their minds will be twitching, and if there will be another scandal, it will be even more troublesome.
he said decisively.
"We predicted a bad harvest and a shortage of military rations of 60,000 to 80,000 shi.
The food purchase task I gave is only generous. Now it can reach at least more than 60,000 dan, which should be enough to support our battle.
Your Highness Uesugi, what do you think? "
Terutora Uesugi was actually quite happy to watch as Okuma Asohide and Naoe Keetsuna fought. These two old foxes are not good things. They are happy to watch them dog-eat-dog.
But since Shiba Yiyin came forward, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Yes, 60,000 stones is enough. Besides, the actual number will still increase. There is no need to make other adjustments for the time being. Let's leave it like this."
Naoe Keizuna took advantage of the situation and bowed in approval.
Of course she knew that applying eye drops to Daxiong Chaoxiu would not have any effect, but she still had to do what needed to be done.
If she doesn't do it, she has no attitude, and Uesugi's followers will blame her for not doing anything. Only a baby that can cry will get milk. It always has to bark a few times in front of the two masters before going back to explain to the subordinates.
It's not that Naojiang doesn't fight for it, it's just that Da Xiong is too cunning. The two masters were deceived by the traitor for a while and did not give Uesugi a chance to show off. I, Naoe Jingzuna, have tried my best, please bear with me for the time being.
Daxiong Chaohide also knows Naoe Keizuna's intentions, both public and private, and she has to criticize herself several times before she can behave as a human being.
The interior of the Shiba clan's practice center is also so complicated, it's not easy to be an individual these days. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, the performance must be performed.
The two leaders said nothing, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn. Sibo Yiyin came out to smooth things over and smiled slightly.
"Takada Haruno is still very good at doing things, just give her a chance to show off.
Speaking of which, she also wrote to me. He said that a big gift would be sent around the autumn harvest as a surprise to celebrate my journey south to the Kanto Plain.
I don’t know what kind of crooked idea she had. Nothing would make me happy as much as food. It would be better to focus on business.
Do you think this is true? "
Naoe Keizuna and Daxiong Chaohide fell to the ground and kowtowed at the same time, saying the same thing.
"The emperor is wise."
Shiba Yoshigan shook his head helplessly. Uesugi Teruhu looked at him from the side and couldn't help but want to laugh.
How thick are the skins of these two old foxes? You can't even see blood when you poke it with a knife.
Shiba Yiyin actually wanted to alert them by making insinuations? How could it be useful? Everyone pretends to be loyal to the emperor, but who knows what intentions they have in their hearts, they are nothing.
Shiba Yoshigan rolled his eyes and glared at Terutora Uesugi, who was gloating about his misfortune. Didn't he know that these two people were thick-skinned? But this kind of thing must be said!
Uesugi Teruhora feels comfortable being the boss every day. If Yoshihiro Shiba doesn't come out and say something righteously, will the Echigo state affairs be in chaos?
The two elders looked at each other intently, as if they did not notice the flirting and flirting between the two masters. This serious matter must continue to be discussed.
Uesugi Teruhu became a little impatient and said.
"Naoejin already has 30,000 military rations, which should be enough to launch operations.
Taking advantage of the slack time after the summer harvest, we mobilized part of the army and first helped Numata Kentae get Numata Castle back. "
Shiba Yiyin nodded.
The military operation after this year's autumn harvest is estimated to require more than 160,000 dan of military rations to complete the southward offensive.
Before the autumn harvest of grain and grass is put into storage, the only 30,000 shi of military grain stored in Naoetsu can be used temporarily. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to deal with a small Numata family.
he said.
"Although the Numata family is small, they are the first Kanto samurai family to take the initiative to provoke us. The Hojo family will definitely defend her family to the death.
And all the families in Kanto are watching. They will also observe our strength from this battle and weigh whether they really want to fully fall to our side.
This battle must be fought beautifully. With the help of Numata Kenyasu's internal support, Numata Castle can be captured quickly. This will shock the inside and outside, and make a good start for the subsequent Guandong strategy. "
Terutora Uesugi glanced at Shiba Yoshigan, and the two analyzed a lot of words. In fact, they had discussed military strategy many times, so there was no need to talk nonsense.
But the real question is, who should go?
If according to the original plan, after the autumn harvest, the Echigo army moves south in full force, and the elites of the Uesugi Shiba family are commanded by the two masters, pouring out, there will naturally be no problem.
But as Numata Kenyasu fled north, the entire plan was disrupted. Who will lead the vanguard has become the focus of the game between the two families.
