When Yamanaka Yukimori saw Mitsuhide Akechi changing her usual elegance and looking disgusted, he felt that she had become more real, which was a bit strange.
She was in a good mood at this time, but she was also afraid that others would find out that she was in the sinner's room, so she stopped talking nonsense, nodded slightly, and turned around to leave.
After Yamanaka Yukimori left, Akechi Mitsuhide stared blankly at the sliding door, savoring the previous conversation with his master.
After two years of not seeing each other, the master not only looks more handsome, but also has a much firmer and more mature mind. But he is still the same person, and his compassion for the world makes Mitsuhide Akechi fall in love with him even more.
He said Mitsuhide Akechi was a radical, so why not himself? In this dark and troubled world, to have mercy is to seek death.
But Akechi Mitsuhide is very envious. She is full of intrigues and has lost the ability to love the world.
Human nature is like this, what we lack, we long for. Perhaps, this is the reason why Akechi Mitsuhide is obsessed with Shiba Yiyin.
I don't know how much time passed, but Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly smiled, and his face gradually returned to the elegant smile of the past, as if he was wearing the original mask again.
she muttered.
"Those people in the shogunate are not good at fighting. But when it comes to conspiracy, they are all good at it.
Not because they are smart, but because they are shameless, cold-blooded, utilitarian, and have no bottom line in what they do.
My lord, you will need me. And I won’t be kept waiting too long.
You can't beat them, you want face, you have a bottom line, you will not be their opponent. Only a lunatic like me, who has no scruples and does anything, can play well with them.
I'm really curious. You are so afraid that you call a radical more radical than me. What kind of person is Oda Nobunaga?
She will definitely die in my hands. Because she ruined your life, and I will never let her go, never. . "
Akechi Mitsuhide had tears in his eyes.
Oda Nobunaga. . It was she who took away his first time, and it was she who changed his life.
She, damn it.
———
Yoshigan walked out of Akechi Mitsuhide's detention room and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a bit regretful, he really didn't dare to use Akechi Mitsuhide.
If this guy killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru because he was obsessed with himself, admired himself, and couldn't restrain his jealousy, Yoshigami might consider using her again.
I feel sorry for Ashikaga Yoshiteru for doing this, but Yoshihiro doesn't have many choices.
The Shiba clan declined for a long time, and was finally wiped out in the Owari Kingdom. The Shiba family has long lost its hereditary territory, and Yiyin has no generational retainers. The so-called revival of the family business is just a rootless root.
Using the Shiba Zhong Fund to win over Shiba's retainers is a temporary measure.
I don’t know how long the potential of the Hokuriku Dou Trade Route can be tapped. There is no profit that can rise at a high speed forever in this world. Once the income of Shibachu Fund slows down and stagnates, this road will come to an end.
Yi Bank can rely on the Spartan Foundation for a while, but in the long run, it will still have to rely on expanding Spo's heirs to stabilize the family business.
The bloodline and family structure of the martial arts society is complex, but it is this overall interest that affects the whole body that can ensure that high-level martial arts families take care of each other and jointly suppress the unity will of the bottom.
Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy of occupying the magpie's nest is shocking in the world of female lords, but it is feasible. That is to use blood connections to quickly expand the base.
In order for a female daimyo to bloom in the world of female lords, she needs to be pregnant for ten months. Yiyin's sons don't have to be so troublesome and can quickly expand the number of heirs.
Although the reputation will definitely be ruined, the daughter does not think the father is ugly. How dare the descendants of Sibo who have received benefits dare to deny their father?
This method allows Yiyin to quickly consolidate control of the Shiba family's territory through the woman's retainers, and also ensures that the land is handed over to his heirs, so that the wealth does not flow to outsiders.
The woman doesn't feel like she's at a disadvantage, and he, a man from a different world, also feels like he's taken advantage. Everyone is really happy.
However, due to the emotional jealousy of many admirers and the identity of the widow of Genji Kawachi, the advancement of the plan to occupy the magpie's nest will be more difficult and sensitive than two years ago.
Yiyin needs a brilliant advisor to help him manage this matter, and the best operator is actually Mitsuhide Akechi.
This guy is obviously his admirer, but he is willing to take the initiative to wear a green headband and help Yiyin seduce other women.
This kind of pervert is unique, and he is so damn smart, the only one in the world.
Yiyin has always been a little confused about her thoughts, and after the exchange between the two today, he finally understood.
It turns out that she is not only a pervert, but also a radical idealistic madman, which is fatal.
If Mitsuhide Akechi just has a hat plot, Yoshihiro can't help but satisfy her. Anyway, he finds it quite exciting. But this lunatic's idea of changing the world of the Wu family frustrates Yiyin.
He reincarnated and lived a new life just to make life easier for himself and the people he valued. He did not want to change the fate of the island country and change the world and the sun and the moon for a new sky.
It’s none of his business whether the island country is going to be bad in the future or not! Just protect the people around you and don't let the situation get worse for the rest of your life.
You have to believe in the wisdom of future generations, well, you can do whatever you want after I die.
For this reason, after Mitsuhide Akechi's showdown, Yoshigan decisively kicked her out. This guy is really useless.
If you want to use her, Ashikaga Yoshiki is just the beginning. Yiyin's hard days are still to come. He didn't want to be caught off guard by Mitsuhide Akechi's unexpected factor again.
As a superior Yiyin, what he hates most now is accidents. No matter how talented the uncontrollable people are, no matter how needed they are, they can only be discarded.
Yiyin looked up to the sky and sighed.
But what about the plan to occupy the magpie's nest? Spoelstra's information has been allocated and the political cornerstone has been laid. He is in a dilemma.
Yiyin shook his head and didn't think about it for now.
Complete Shangluo first and reestablish the shogunate. Rely on the power of the shogunate to resist the invasion of Oda Nobunaga, and rely on the loyalty fund to unite the Shiba retainers.
As for the rest, I'll figure it out slowly.
However, it is not an easy task for Yiyin to drive Mitsuhide Akechi away for retirement.
At first the Shiba family was revived, and recently the Shiba Territory divided its territory. Mitsuhide Akechi awarded Kitaiga 7,000 koku for his merits, and was also authorized to manage Peking University and 6,000 koku Shiba Laboratory.
This thirteen thousand koku territory was not empty. In two years, Akechi Mitsuhide had already filled his territory with the samurai who defected from Mino and the poor people from Kyoto.
With Akechi Mitsuhide being abandoned and his territory shrinking, the treatment of the Akechi retainers who follow him will be greatly affected.
Yiyin does not want to do things absolutely and will leave some room. But no matter how tolerant they are, the life of these people will definitely not be the same as before.
Fortunately, with the guarantee of Sibo Zhong Fund, Yiyin has the confidence to buy out the entire Wu family group in Sibo in recent years.
Only in this way can the dissatisfaction of the wise retainers be suppressed and this change not be allowed to affect the stability of the entire Jinbo Territory.
Yiyin couldn't help but sigh.
It is too difficult to do something. Changing the status of a powerful martial arts family to reduce its seal will destroy the jobs of the entire violent group behind her, so it needs to be handled with caution.
———
A few days later, Nizi Shengjiu brought Yagyu Munomi to Tawen Mountain City to meet his lord. Yi Gin led a group of Ji warriors to greet her outside the castle tower, which flattered her.
Yiyin pulled up Nizi Katsuhisa who was bowing, held her hand and said touchedly.
"Ni Ziji, you have worked hard these past two years."
Yiyin was truly moved.
When he left Konki for Kanto, he entrusted the Konki Shiba leader to three people.
Two guys, Maeda Yoshida and Akechi Mitsuhide, got into his bed, and after raping his man, they actually ate them up and made their own plans. Yoshigan was so angry that his mentality was distorted.
Only Nizi wins, is loyal to his duties, and is diligent and conscientious. Surrounded by a group of bastards, he tried his best to maintain the stability of the Sibo Territory in recent times, worthy of the master's trust.
Yiyin is also helpless.
Emotions are a double-edged sword. If you use them incorrectly, you will only hurt yourself. I thought that the two people who admired me would do their best, but who knew that they were far less reliable than Nizi Katsuhisa, a foreign minister.
After this incident, Yiyin became more rational and alert to the changes in the affairs of men and women mixed with military affairs, and he also valued Nizi Katsuhisa's character more and more.
He smiled and took Nizi Shengjiu's hand and said.
“Ni Ziji, although I have been here for two days, I still don’t know much about Duowenshan City.
You supervised the construction of this city, why not explain it to my tour guide, this city of my residence. "
Nizi Shengjiu said with a smile.
"Since the Lord is patrolling and leading the way, I have just delivered this job."
While the two were chatting and joking, Yamanaka Yukimori jumped out of the queue and said with a smile.
"I have been defending the city for the past two days, and I have some questions. I just want to ask Mr. Nizi to help me clear up my confusion."
Nizi Shengjiu looked at her with a little sparkle in his eyes. Yamanaka Yukimori was also emotional and his eyes were red.
Yiyin saw the two of them reunited after a long separation, showing their true feelings, and laughed and cursed.
"Ni Ziji is building a city for me and doing business, and you, Yamanaka Yukimori, come out to join in the fun.
Forget it, you come over and ask, so that I can save my energy. "
Nizi Katsuhisa and Yamanaka Yukimori bowed slightly together and thanked their lord for his consideration.
So, Xingsheng in the mountains asked about the city, Nizi Shengjiu answered, and Yiyin led a group of Ji warriors to follow them around the city, enjoying themselves.
After the matter was over, the concubines dispersed, leaving only a few important ministers to follow Yiyin to the teahouse to hold a tea party.
The tea master served tea with his art, bowed and left, the monarch and his ministers chatted for a while over tea, and Yiyin turned to the main topic.
"Nizi-hime, you have done very well in the past two years, and Yamanaka-hime has also contributed a lot in Kanto.
After the battle of Shangluo is completed and the merits and rewards are recounted, the family will also review the merits, demerits, rewards and punishments of Sibo leaders in the past two years. You need to be prepared to take on more important responsibilities. "
Nizi Shengjiu kowtowed to the ground and thanked his lord. Yiyin was letting her know in advance and was going to reward her for her contribution to the management of the recent Siberia region in the past two years.
As for Yamanaka Yukimori, that's just a bonus. She caused trouble several times in Kanto, and was promoted to a noble and noble title without merit, which may not be convinced by outsiders.
But she had a good fortune. One was the favor of the master, and the other was a sister who loved her. Shengjiu was so powerful that she had enough confidence that others could not envy her.
Nizi Shengjiu was also full of emotions. To be honest, the past two years were really not a human life.
Although she has been in charge of internal affairs in recent weeks, none of her colleagues are efficient. Maeda Yoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Takada Harano, who came up later, which one made her worry free?
Finally, the master came back. Although the Kyoto Incident broke out, she was cautious and did not get involved, so she was naturally clean.
Now compared with those bastards, his image in the eyes of the master has been rising steadily, and he has become a veritable minister, and he can be regarded as keeping the clouds clear and the moon shining brightly.
In fact, she hasn't done anything extraordinary. Those who can do their duty these days are good retainers. This requirement is too low, and they all rely on the support of their peers.
Nizi Shengjiu looked at Yiyin, and his master was even more handsome than two years ago. She always felt that the hard days were not over yet, and those bastards with stupid brains would have to make trouble sooner or later.
Who allowed his master to grow up to be such a god? Not to mention, his little sister Yamanaka Yukimori has evil intentions, and Nizi Katsuhisa will help or not?
This is life!
Nizi Shengjiu felt unspeakably depressed, always feeling that the family would still not be peaceful in the future. On the way, she heard about Akechi Mitsuhide being whipped by Yoshigan and imprisoned to await punishment, and she was still frightened.
Glancing at the silly Yukimori Yamanaka standing by, Nizi Katsuhisa shook his head secretly. This little fool shouldn't imitate Mitsuhide Akechi and act recklessly, otherwise there's no telling what will happen to a party in the Nizi Mountains in the future.
Yiyin didn't know that Nizi Shengjiu was secretly slandering her and blaming her for her peerless appearance.
he said with a smile.
"Ni Ziji, what do you think about the Sibo Zhong Fund that I mentioned in your letter?"
Nizi Shengjiu said solemnly.
"The Lord is kind and his subjects admire him.
If we can make the Shiba family and the samurai family have food to eat, everyone will have a full stomach. The Sibo family's foundation will last forever. "
Yoshihiro briefly mentioned in the letter that he wanted to borrow money from Konge Tokura, use the Hokuriku Road trade route to make money, and set up some kind of loyalty fund to benefit the retainers in Konge Shiba.
Although Nizi Katsuhisa does not understand modern finance and employee welfare, she is keenly aware of the political intention behind this favor with her simple values.
The Lord wants to take back power.
The essence of power is bottom-up recognition, and the most important power in the hands of the upper class is financial power, military power, and personnel power.
Yiyin has been away for two years. In recent years, Sibo has become a different country than it used to be. The rulers and ministers are unfamiliar and lack kindness and righteousness. Seizing power by force is a bad idea. The people below have not recognized you, and you cannot take away the power of important ministers.
The operation of any political power ultimately depends on people. The middle and lower class Ji warriors have doubts about you as their lord. How can you force them to exercise the three powers of finance, military and personnel?
Nizi Katsuhisa has also thought about this issue, so she always believed that the lord would not severely punish Maeda Benefit, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Takada Harano, because the lord could not exercise power without relying on important ministers.
But she only guessed half of it right. Maeda Benefit and Takada Haruno passed the test, and it seemed that Mitsuhide Akechi would not die. The master was indeed merciful.
But this is out of kindness, not dependence.
If this money-spreading loyalty fund succeeds, the hearts of the samurai in Sibo in recent years will quickly tilt towards their master.
Loyalty, in the final analysis, is maintained by money and food, especially for a violent group like the military that licks blood with its sword, which is very realistic.
If you don’t have money or food, let’s start a war.
