Everyone has several faces.
Takeda Harunobu is a person of common deeds. She loves Kosaka Masanobu and is willing to share the peerless beauty Shiba Yoshigan with her same-sex lover.
Takeda Harunobu, a woman named Ai Siba Yoshigan, was willing to give birth to an illegitimate daughter for him, become a monk for him, and live a lonely life.
The daimyo Takeda Harunobu was only interested in profit. In order to gain the religious advantage of the Tendai Sect, he just dragged Master Tenkai into the water and let her get a piece of Shiba Yoshigan's pie.
The complexity of human nature can be jaw-dropping and yet reasonable. People are not animals. If you stay with people for a long time, you will like dogs more.

The rice smells fragrant in the golden autumn, and it’s the busy farming season again.
The Wu family prefers to fight after spring plowing and autumn harvest. Since rice accounts for most of Japan's staple food, they have no choice but to be careless and avoid busy farming seasons.
At this time in the world, except for Oda Nobunaga, who had too much food, he began to try to use his off-the-job occupation ashigaru, deliberately going to war during the busy farming season, and conquered the Northern Ise samurai family, which was miserable.
Most other places still follow the tradition and maintain the rules of fighting during the slack period and repairing during the busy period.
Except for a few elites, most of the reserve teams are mobilized from the local area. When farming is busy, they will disperse and go home to help with farm work. Even Ji Samurai, the middle and lower classes would go to the fields to help at this time.
The autumn harvest seems happy, but it is the most frightening time. A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile, and the last trembling of rice is not easy.
The plump ears of rice make the stalks bend deeply, so they must be drained as quickly as possible, harvested, and placed on rice racks to dry in the sun.
No one can predict when the autumn rains will begin. If the rice cannot be dried before winter, mold and insects can ruin a year's farming and most of the harvest.
Only when the rice is completely dry and stored in the warehouse can farmers feel relieved.
The straw is then made into dry cereal grass, which is used for cooking and horse feed. Most of the rice is carefully stored, and it is called brown rice without processing after shelling. Even Hojo Ujiyasu eats this kind of brown rice.
Only the extravagant nobles could afford processed white rice. If he added a small dried fish to every meal, he would be scolded by others as a prodigal who ruined his family's fortune.
People in this era lived a hard life, far beyond the imagination of future generations. Even the ruling warrior class was experiencing hardships.
As powerful as Terutora Uesugi and Yoshigan Shiba, they could only send Nagachi Kawada and a few elites to attack Numata Castle first. Wait for the autumn harvest to be over before you dare to march south with all your strength.
The waiting was so painful, but the day finally came. As the autumn harvest season passes, high-level warriors from all over the country have gathered in Shangyue.
In the Imperial Palace Hall, Uesugi Shiba and two Fangji warriors were sitting on the left and right, with the two masters at the top.
Shiba Yiyin looked at Daxiong Chaoxiu and asked.
"Big Bear Ji, has the food purchase plan been completed?"
Big Bear bowed to Xiu and said.
"Returning to the imperial office, we purchased a total of 215,000 shi of various grains, and put 83,000 shi in Zhijiangjin.
Among them, rice is 71,000 dan, and the remaining wheat, millet, beans and other miscellaneous grains are 12,000 dan. "
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and met Shiba Yiyin's eyes. The monarch and the minister looked at each other and smiled.
The grain that Naoetsu put into the warehouse has already been reported to the government office. Speaking of it now is nothing more than showing the wisdom of Shiba Yiyin.
Look, my plan to buy grain has come true, I’m so awesome!
This is also true. The expectation for buying grain this time was 60,000 to 80,000 shi, and the actual amount put into the warehouse even exceeded the expected upper limit.
Ohuma Asahide's acquisition site was in the Hokurikudo and Ou areas. The distance was relatively close and the losses were relatively small, so he could squeeze out 40,000 koku.
The really powerful one is Takada Yono. The straight-line distance between Sakai Port and Naoetsu is more than 500 kilometers.
Transporting it all the way across mountains and seas would cost at least two-thirds of it, but to be able to scrape together more than 40,000 stones was really impressive.
After this incident, Takada Harano has become a shining golden doll in Shiba Yigen's heart, a little genius who makes money and supplies.
The two of them were mentally prepared, but most of the Wu family who attended the meeting didn't know it yet. They were all astonished by the Sibo family's powerful ability to allocate materials.
One stone is 150-160 kilograms in later generations, and 83,000 stones is 13,000 tons. According to the ration of two stones per month for ten people, it would be enough to feed 400,000 people for a month.
In the eyes of these rustic warriors in Kanto who are not familiar with commercial logistics, it is simply a fantasy to mobilize so much food in less than half a year.
Saito Asanobu was the first to be unable to bear it. She had a lot of grievances with Daxiong Asahide in China and Vietnam. Now that she is getting better and better, her sense of crisis is getting worse day by day.
At this time, when she saw Da Xiong Chao Xiu showing off such a beautiful report card, she immediately came out to question it and bowed.
"Your Highnesses, is there something wrong with this quantity? We purchased 210,000 stones and stored more than 80,000 stones. It is simply unbelievable."
Da Xiong gave her a sideways glance and waited silently to see her misfortune.
Since Shiba Yiyin cried a lot, Daxiong Chaoxiu finally calmed down a lot.
He just immersed himself in doing what he was committed to and said bad things about the Uesugi family inside the Kanto Palace. As for provoking the Uesugi family, it never happened again.
This surprised Naoe Keizuna, and also made Terutora Uesugi secretly happy. Sure enough, Shiba Yiyin did not let his men continue to attack him. It must be Lang Youqing's concubine who wanted to do it.
With the restraint of Ohkuma Asahide, the conflict between the Uesugi and Shiba families went underground. On the outside, they seemed to be sincerely united and united to the outside world.
Because of this, Okuma Asahide was happy to see Saito Asanobu suffer misfortune. If I don't provoke you, if you jump out to find trouble, it depends on how Uesugi Teruhu handles you.
As expected, Terutora Uesugi, who was at the head, suddenly looked a lot more embarrassed.
She pointed at Saito Nobunobu, then pointed at her seat, and cursed.
"Go back! You ignorant thing!"
Saito Chao Xin was stunned for a moment, but when he saw his master's expression getting even more angry, he didn't dare to be stubborn and went back dejectedly. From the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Daxiong Chaoxiu's half-smiling expression, and she felt secretly resentful in her heart, as her face was gone.
Naoe Keizuna couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh, why is this guy rushing out?
Saito Asanobu was also engaged in religious affairs, and she was being wronged by saying that she did not understand. But she jumped out to find trouble at this time, not as a kind reminder, but simply because she didn't like the big bear Chao Xiu and took the opportunity to attack.
The Uesugi family must have a copy of the grain receipts stored in Naoetsu's warehouse. Naoe Keetsuna has already been submitted to Uesugi Terutora, so there can be no problem with the quantity.
If you are not sure, how can Daxiong Chaoxiu make nonsense in the big review? Does she still want her head?
Yoshigan Shiba glanced at the angry Terutora Uesugi and shook his head secretly.
There are many thorns in the Uesugi family. If Daxiong Chaoxiu doesn't provoke them, they will inevitably cause trouble. This Echigo dual politics is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
He had to come out to smooth things over, so as not to ruin the big review before the game, he said.
"Hime Saito is a general in the army, and she was also worried that there would be problems with the logistics supply, so she was anxious for a while.
Don't worry, Zhu Ji, there will be no mistake in the quantity. Mr. Naoe and Da Xiong Ji are responsible for this matter together, and the accounts are clear.
We were able to raise so much food this time because the Tokaido trade route declined and the Hokuriku trade route flourished, and we took advantage of it.
The large number is indeed surprising. When I first saw the number, I thought I had seen it wrong. No wonder Saito Hime was surprised and confused. "
