Umino Riichi calmly made suggestions.
“Actually, it’s not difficult.
Hojo Ujiyasu has been writing letters to samurai families all over the Kanba Prefecture to win people's hearts. Since Nagano is so important, of course she will write letters to test him.
You only need to prove that a reply letter was sent from Minawa City to the Hojo family, and that Nagano was responding to Hojo Ujiyasu's kindness.
Remember, too much is never enough.
Don't do unnecessary things to avoid exposing your flaws. The fact itself is not important, even if both parties are just being polite.
Because Godaisho and His Highness Uesugi were already wary of Nagano Yasumasa, any normal communication could be seen as clues of foul play.
As long as there are signs that are taken as intelligence and sent to the desk of the Imperial Office, we will pass. "
Sarutobi Sasuke nodded. The ninjas were very experienced in doing this kind of dirty work and had their own methods of alienation. As soon as Umino gave a rough idea, she already had an idea.
She turned to look at Nobushige Sanada and sighed.
"From now on, don't get into trouble with your sisters every time, okay?"
Sanada Nobushige wiped his face with the square handkerchief and said.
"Don't worry, there will never be a next time."
Sarutobi Sasuke muttered.
"When you say absolutely, it always makes people feel uneasy. The tears and runny nose on your face is disgusting. You have to wash this square handkerchief after you use it."
Sanada Nobushige smiled mischievously at her and whispered.
"This was given to me by the imperial court. I can't bear to wash it. It still has his fragrance on it."
Sarutobi Sasuke jumped a few steps away in fright and looked at Sanada Nobushige in astonishment.
All the Kanto samurai respected Odaisho as a male god, so Sanada Nobushige could carelessly treat him as a man. It's so audacious and breathtaking.
Sarutobi Sasuke and Umino Riichi exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
———
Looking at the backs of Sanada Nobuhige and Umino Riichi leaving, Shiba Yoshigan couldn't help but sigh and smiled bitterly at Daxiong Chaoxiu.
"Big Bear Ji, I'm causing trouble for you."
A good Yutai staff is established and the daily supply system is perfect. It was deprived and adapted by Sibo Yiyin. In the end, it was inevitable to change the name and continue to distribute food, which increased the workload of the practice.
Daxiong Chaoxiu didn't care, everything she had now was given by Sibo Yiyin, and pleasing her master was more important than anything else.
Sibo Yiyin admires and relies on her, which is the greatest benefit. As for causing trouble? Anyway, there are people below to do things, so the leader Daxiong Chaoxiu will not be tired.
She smiled and bowed and said.
"I would like to share my worries with the emperor."
Si Bo Yiyin waved his hand and said with a wry smile.
"Okay, let's not mention this troublesome wild monkey, let's talk about our business."
All the disciples bowed their heads and waited for instructions from the emperor. Yiyin thought for a moment, came back to his mind, and said.
"Ishida Mitsunari."
"Hi!"
"This time to Luo, you and I can go back."
Daxiong Chaohide and Ishida Mitsunari looked down at each other, listening to Shiba Yoshigan continue to speak.
"The Houriku Road trade route has flourished in the past two years. In the first year, 300,000 guan of goods from Kansai were transported, and this year it has reached one million guan, right?"
Da Xiong Chao Xiu replied.
"Odaisho Yingming is indeed so."
Yiyin said.
"The Hokuriku Road trade route involves too much. From Echizen to Echigo, countless samurai families made a fortune relying on this trade route.
With the recent chaos, the most important thing is to ensure that there are no problems with this trade route. Therefore, I will take Ishida Mitsunari back to re-evaluate the entire trade route to ensure that there are no problems in its operation.
Big Bear Ji, what do you think? "
Daxiong Chaoxiu had nothing to say, he repeatedly called Yingming and nodded in approval.
The biggest bargaining chip for the Echigo Samurai Group to solve the troubles on the Hokuriku Road is this trade route.
Who can have trouble with money?
Everyone can profit from it, so naturally no one wants the war to interrupt the trade routes, and the disputes between the three countries of Vietnam, China, Noto and Kaga have also subsided.
Last year's Kyoto Incident happened in late autumn and early winter. The Hokuriku Dou trade route was not affected by the winter port closure because it was transported by sea.
However, after the start of spring, Yi Bank is not sure whether there will be problems with the trade routes next year due to political changes.
When the shogunate and the Miyoshi family reconciled, the Shiba family obtained the right to garrison in Sakai Port. Although it only had a staff of ten people, it was enough to intimidate the merchants in Sakai Port.
Sakai Port belongs to the Miyoshi family's sphere of influence, and the Shiba family is the only samurai family with a garrison. Takada Yono relied on this advantage to quickly open up the situation, and this Hokuriku Road trade route was established.
Now that the Miyoshi family has rebelled, Shangluo has killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and the agreement reached by both sides of the shogunate Miyoshi that year has been completely torn up. What is the current situation in Sakai Port? Yi Bank is very worried.
Without the Hokuriku Road trade route, there would be no peace among the countries in Hokuriku Road, and the benefits of the Echigo samurai group would be nowhere to be found. The subsequent economic and political impact will be too great for Bank of America to be careless.
Ishida Mitsunari is the deputy of Ohkuma Asahide. He has managed Naoetsu for two years and is very familiar with the Hokuriku Road trade route.
Takada Harano made a big mistake with the steel plate armor, which made Yoshihiro Shiba very dissatisfied. However, the Hokuriku Road trade route was very important, and Shiba Yiyin did not dare to change people casually.
Bringing Ishida Mitsunari back, on the one hand, she is familiar with the operation of the trade route, and can use her to evaluate the impact of the Miyoshi family's rebellion on the Hokuriku Road trade route, and adjust the strategy appropriately.
On the other hand, Takada Yono is also considering Sakai Port. If Takada Haruno does something that displeases Yoshigan Shiba, he will also have to keep talent in hand and have backup backup options for replacement.
Ishida Mitsunari was born in Omi Province's Sakata County. In order to win over the samurai family of Sakata County, Todo Toradaka sent the daughter of the wealthy Ishida village in the county to Shiba Yoshigan as his retainer.
In the past two years, she has worked hard and served the public well. Sibo Yiyin is also willing to give her a chance to return to her hometown in glory.
Yoshigan glanced at Ishida Mitsunari and asked.
"Will you go back with me?"
Ishida Mitsunari was a little moved.
She already looked down upon the small amount of land in Ishida Village's home. The money and food flowing through Naojiang Jinguan Station every day far exceeds the harvest of his hometown in a year.
But if she stays at the Kanto Service Office, Daxiong Chaoxiu will be a hurdle that she can't overcome. She wants to make progress, and so do the Sino-Vietnamese adherents led by Daxiong Chaoxiu.
Everyone can live in harmony now, but as time goes by, who knows what the result will be? After all, Ishida Mitsunari is an outsider. He has little background in his hometown and cannot find a reliable helper.
Would it be better to go back to recent developments?
Ishida Mitsunari thought about it three times in his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty is willing."
She gave up the power of Naoji Jinguan Office and took a gamble.
Seeing her struggling, Si Bo Yiyin smiled.
"Don't worry, I will never treat heroes unfairly.
After Shangluo calms down the chaos in the shogunate, I will definitely make a suitable arrangement for you to ensure that you return home in fine clothes and will not be wronged. "
Ishida Mitsunari smiled awkwardly, her little thoughts had already been seen through by the master. But at this time, she was also determined and completely believed her master's words of comfort.
Because the reputation of Sibo Yiyin is really good. A troublemaker like Sanada Nobushige, as long as he has enough credit and gives her a generous reward even if he pinches his nose, he is a good master that the samurai will admire.
After settling Ishida Mitsunari, Shiba Yiyin said to Daxiong Chaohide.
"You have a lot of things on your hands, so Naojiang Jin can't live without someone to help you.
This time the army went south without any harm to the local Qiu. The supervision of Ozo Changan was not small. I intend to let her succeed Ishida Mitsunari.
how do you feel? "
Da Xiong Chao Xiu was disappointed.
At the beginning, Shiba Yoshigan arranged for Ishida Mitsunari, a recent samurai family, to be her adjutant. It is to guard against Daxiong Chaoxiu and his group of Chinese and Vietnamese adherents, and unite to become bigger.
After finally gaining the master's trust and getting rid of Ishida Mitsunari, Daxiong Chaohide thought he could promote one of his own to the top.
Who knows, with Ishida Mitsunari gone, Yiyin will have to add Dazang Changan, and the Big Bear faction will still not be able to dominate.
Although Daxiong Chaoxiu was disappointed in his heart, he said with a smile on his face.
"Dazang Ji has worked hard and achieved great results, and the master's arrangements are appropriate."
Shiba Yiyin smiled slightly, knowing that Da Xiong Chao Xiu's words were not sincere.
Who doesn't want to have the power? Shiba Yiyin will leave Kanto soon, and he doesn't know how long it will take before he can come back to Japan.
Even if he believed in Daxiong Chaoxiu again, he would not dare to entrust her with all the economic power of the Kanto Palace.
The Wu family is too selfish in doing things, and they forget about everyone else.
If we really want to give all the power to Da Xiong Chaoxiu, Da Xiong's faction will inevitably become greedy for power and become one-spoken. When Shiba Yiyin comes back in two years, the first thing he will probably do is chop off Daxiong Chaoxiu's head.
It is easy to give power away, but if you want to take it back, you have to redistribute it with iron and blood. The separation of powers and checks and balances is because Yiyin values Xiong Chaoxiu and protects her from being coerced into making mistakes by greedy subordinates.
Strictly speaking, the contribution of Dazang Chang'an cannot reach the level of the increasingly important Zhijiang Jinguan Station. It's just that Yoshiba Shiba needs an outsider to check and balance the local forces of Echigo.
On the other hand, Dazang Chang'an is re-standardizing the regulations of the Kanto Palace, using the food relief policy to gradually bring the samurai territories that have joined the Kanto Palace under the control of Sibo Yiyin.
Shiba Yiyin is willing to raise her status, hoping that she can give him a big surprise in the future.
Daxiong Chaoxiu turned sideways and bowed slightly to Dazang Changan and said.
"Congratulations, Ozohime."
Dazang Changan was overjoyed, and she caught up with the good things that fell from the sky. She immediately bowed deeply and thanked Shiba Yiyin and Daxiong Chaohide.
"Thank you, Lord, for your trust, and thank you, Lord Big Bear, for your cultivation. I will live up to your expectations."
She also knew in her heart that she was not worthy of this position. But Shiba Yoshiyin is willing to give her the opportunity to rise to the top, and she doesn't want to take it because she is mentally ill.
Dazang Changan came from a humble background, and was a descendant of the Sarugaku family. He joined the Iga Maeda family. Although he was talented, he was repeatedly ostracized.
Why did she travel all the way from Yamato Country to Hokuriku Echigo Country? Isn't it just for a chance to get ahead? Sibo Yiyin was willing to give it, and she would fight for it even if she risked her life.
Ozo Changan knew very well that Shiba Yiyin had paid her in advance.
During the period when Yiyin went to Luo, Dazang Changan had to greatly advance the system construction of the Kanto Palace and achieve visible results. Otherwise, she has to get out.
Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor have been like this since ancient times.
Several people chatted enthusiastically, each got what he wanted, and followed the power structure of the place, which was broken and reorganized. This scene made Ina Chuji, who was behind them, look envious and jealous.
At this time, Shiba Yiyin turned his eyes to her and said.
"Inaki, I have something important to entrust to you."
Ina Chuji was shocked, kowtowed to the ground and said.
"My servants are frightened, so please give me orders from the imperial palace."
Yiyin sighed and said.
"The Guandong Plain has been war-torn for hundreds of years, with the people fleeing famine and water conservancy damaged. This time when I went south, I observed the farming work in various places, and it was very bad.
There is obviously the best fertile land in the world, but due to various reasons, the yield is low. Especially in Musashi Country, the dense water network leads to frequent floods, which is really a pity.
I hope you can explore and evaluate the water system along the Tone River in your spare time. Let’s see if we can find a way to use water conservancy projects to eliminate flooding and increase yields per mu.
If this can be successful, it will be a great blessing to future generations. I, Shiba Yiyin, the concubines of Kanto, and even the people of the world in future generations will always remember your merits. "
Ina Chuji's hands and feet trembled when she heard this. She was a water conservancy expert and was deeply touched by what Odaisho said.
Ancient Egypt was able to become one of the earliest civilizations in human history, thanks to the flooding of the Nile River, which brought fertilizer to the lower reaches.
But because of this, the ancient Egyptians were trapped in the flood cycle of the Nile River, never able to get out of their comfort zone, and eventually fell into decline.
As for the Yellow River civilization far away in East Asia, they united all their forces and tamed their mother river in the name of water control. From this, it became an ancient civilization that has lasted for thousands of years in East Asia and has survived to this day.
For agricultural civilizations, water flow is the lifeline for irrigating fields. But the uncontrollable river is the devil that takes away all the fruits.
Shiba Yiyin was able to raise the flood control in Kanto to a level that would leave a name for eternity. Of course, Ina Chuji, who is proficient in water conservancy, was extremely excited.
If she can really achieve the results Yiyin said, then her contribution will not only help her climb higher, but also leave a rich legacy of kindness for future generations.
Ina Chuji kowtowed to the ground and said.
"I will do my best to complete the exploration and provide the imperial office with a perfect water conservancy management plan."
Yiyin nodded.
He drew a huge pie for Ina Chuji, which was also a whimsical idea after what he saw during his trip south.
The Wu family in Guanbazhou has been independent for more than a hundred years with the help of war. How can these local forces be willing to hand over power to the central government?
Force cannot defeat people's hearts. Japan is a hellish place where people are so poor that they are not even afraid of death. Threatening others with a knife to obey them is very ineffective.
After much thought, Yiyin still felt that the method of the ancestors of the Celestial Dynasty was the best and worth a try, that is, Dayu controlled the floods and centralized power.
The water network in the core area of Kanto is dense, including the Tone River, Watarase River, Kinugawa, Arakawa, Tama River and other main tributaries.
These rivers are spread throughout the four core territories of Ueno, Shimono, Musashi, and Shimoso, which connect the eight states of Kankan.
If water control can be achieved, local military families can be guided to hand over part of their power to control floods, build water conservancy, and increase grain production.
This gentle way of seizing power is more reliable than chopping off people's heads every day, right?
The people are not afraid of death, but why should they be afraid of death?
