Seeing that Nizi Shengjiu understood, Yiyin smiled.
"Ni Ziji doesn't need to worry about the issue of annuity payment. I ordered to buy grain in Kanto before, and various places on the Hokuriku Road trading route raised nearly 200,000 koku of grain for me.
Today's Hokurikudo trade route has reached a higher level, and the Shibachu Foundation has strong financial resources.
The warrior families in various places along the way gained a lot from relying on the trade route and were satisfied. I want to buy some food, who will not give me face?
I'll charge you the market price, and I'll give you enough copper coins. You can also exchange for goods. Maybe then, families will rush to do business with us and sell grain to us.
In recent years, it is just a trivial matter for Sibo to earn less than ten thousand shi of brown rice.
In the future, the entire Shiba family will have their own annuity, and they will no longer have to worry about their families going hungry and suffering. "
Nizi Shengjiu kowtowed to the ground and said.
"The Lord's benevolent heart will be rewarded generously."
Nizi Shengjiu now fully understood that there was no problem with Shiba Zhong Fund's ability to make money, and he was familiar with the matter of buying grain.
In troubled times, food is precious and gold is precious. The usual basic conversion price of brown rice, which is two shi of copper coins, is definitely not worth one dou per liter. But Spozhong Fund has deep pockets and offers enough benefits, so there will always be people who are willing to trade.
Who would still have trouble with money? If you don’t like copper coins, you still have firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, swords, guns, sticks, bows and arrows. What goods can’t be exchanged for them in Sakai Port? No big deal, just do what they like.
Speaking of this, Nizi Katsuhisa also had confidence in Shiba Zhong Fund, and he was in great awe of Shiba Yiyin.
The day when the Shiba Zhong Fund's annuity is paid out is when Shiba Bank really grasps the power of the Shiba family.
From then on, in Sibo's family, as long as the annuity continued, Sibo Yiyin was always talking about the Constitution and keeping his word.
Nizi Shengjiu felt awe-struck and secretly warned himself to be more cautious in doing things in the future.
She glanced at Munenomi Yagyu behind her and said.
"My lord, before you left the country, you allowed me to send the Yagyu group to do things. Now that you have returned with honor, I kindly ask you to take back this authority."
Yagyu Munenomi followed and bowed, waiting for the master's instructions.
The Yagyu-gumi is the mesuke group of Shiba's family, and Yukino Takada is theoretically their leader. But Yukino Takada is permanently stationed in Kyoto, accompanying General Ashikaga, and actually doesn't care about them.
Before leaving Kanto, Yoshihiro handed over the Yagyu group to Nizi Katsuhisa, who was in charge of internal affairs, and handed over the Nakato group to Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in charge of foreign affairs.
Nizi Shengjiu is a man who knows the current affairs. Mufu is the eyes and ears of the lord, a tool to suppress the territory, and should not be the authority that ministers should control.
She took the initiative to bring Yagyu Munomi here, intending to hand over her power to show her loyalty.
Yiyin touched his chin and looked at Nizi Yagyu and his wife who were kowtowing to the ground, feeling a little confused. Nizi Shengjiu was too knowledgeable, but gave him a problem.
The battle of Shangluo has not yet ended. Even if the war subsides, there are still many things to do about the re-establishment of the shogunate. Yoshigan does not have the energy to pay attention to the internal affairs of the Spur Territory in recent times.
Nizi Katsuhisa has done well in the past two years, and Shiba Zhong Fund is about to be launched. Yi Bank is not worried about the fluctuations in people's hearts that will not be beneficial to itself in the short term in recent years.
Therefore, Yoshigan does not want to take back the power of the Yagyu-gumi so quickly, and hopes to let Nizi Katsuhisa be in charge for a while, and wait for the Kyoto shogunate to finish the matter, and then re-plan the Konkoshiba territory.
But in theory, the money cannot be controlled by important ministers, and if Nizi Shengjiu returns it sincerely, the righteous banknote should not be withheld.
Yoshigan glanced at Yukino Takada next to him and saw her sitting expressionless, like a cold doll with a beautiful face, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He obviously didn't understand anything, but he looked quite impressive.
he said.
"Yukino."
"Hi!"
"You are the one who pays the price, so you will be responsible for the Yagyu group."
Takada Yukino looked at her master blankly, her eyes a little disappointed, as if asking, is she unable to accompany her master in the future?
The corner of Yiyin's mouth rose, this girl is really a little fool with no desire for power. Others would like to have more power, but she likes to stick to her side and it is best not to have to worry about anything.
Yukino's mind is simple, and it's okay to be a cold-blooded executioner, but let her take care of people, so forget it. Yiyin made this arrangement just for a nominal handover.
he said.
"Niziji, after going to Luo, the affairs in Kyoto will be complicated and dangerous. Xueno will be by my side to protect my safety.
Yagyu Munenuki will continue to stay in Konkispo Territory and suppress the internal forces. You should worry more about it on weekdays and share it with Yukino. "
Nizi Katsuhisa understood this deeply and knew that the master had no intention of taking back the authority of the Yagyu group, and returning Takada Yukino was just a formality. In recent years, the operation of Spurring has been business as usual for the time being.
After Yoshigami finished speaking, he looked at Yagyu Munenomi and said calmly.
"Yagyu Hime, you have done well in the past two years. The Yagyu group is loyal to their duties and is far more competent than the same group in the middle. I am very satisfied.
By the way, I have already met your mother Yagyu Muneyan. She is working with Lord Wada Weimasa and others for His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki. She is very dedicated. "
Yagyu Munomi felt sweat dripping from his forehead, his eyes wandered, and he was a little confused about the meaning of his master's words.
She has been doing a good job in the past two years, and Nizi Katsuhisa is also a good boss. Therefore, in recent years, the internal stability of Sporing has been stable, and the Yagyu group has made great contributions.
But things were miserable for the Central Group. Because Akechi Mitsuhide had evil intentions and caused the death and demotion of the Fujibayashi sisters, the Central Group was forced to disband.
The master deliberately brought up the Nakato group in front of her, and also said that his mother Yagyu Muneyan was involved in supporting Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Is this a compliment or a warning?
Yagyu Munaki's eyes narrowed, he kowtowed to the ground and said firmly.
"On the throne of the Imperial Palace, my servant Yagyu Munomi is receiving the salary from the Shiba family. I am holding the job you gave me and it is my duty to fulfill my duties faithfully.
As you know, the Yagyu family separated two years ago. My mother and I each have our own masters, and we are distinct from each other.
If my mother's behavior harms the interests of the Sibo family, I will be impartial and selfless, perform my duties and be loyal to the Lord. "
After Yagyu Munegen was abandoned by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the people who followed her had a hard time, so Yagyu Muneki privately provided some assistance.
Her mother wants to take advantage of the Kyoto Incident and start a rebellion, and Yagyu Munenomi can understand her.
But if his mother's reckless behavior aroused Yoshigan Shiba's resentment and affected the survival of the Yagyu group, then Munenomi Yagyu would have no choice but to exterminate the family.
Mufu is the eagle and dog minions within the Lord's suppression. Most of them are swordsmen, different from the Ji warriors who fight on the battlefield. The Yagyu family is good at swordsmanship and is a good person to take on the role of mesuke.
There is a specialization in the art, and if Yagyu Munenuki is suspected of loyalty by the master, the Yagyu group will be abandoned. The Yagyu family is not good at battle formations, and the family business is bound to decline.
In the past two years, Yagyu Munenomi has been doing well in the Spurs in recent years, and the status of Peking University and the Yagyu family has risen with the tide.
She couldn't figure out Yoshiyuki's thoughts, and she couldn't afford to gamble, so she could only resolutely declare her position and cut herself off from Yagyu Muneyan, the mother, to show her loyalty.
Yoshigami nodded silently to Yagyu Munenomi's statement. He didn't want the Yagyu family to kill each other, he just wanted to give Yagyu Munenomi a warning. Ask her to exercise caution when interacting with Yagyu Muneyan.
After being abandoned by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Yagyu Sogan took the initiative to join Ashikaga Yoshiaki and was reused.
After the re-establishment of the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki became the new Ashikaga shogun, and Yagyu Sogan naturally resumed his duties as Omatsu.
Although Yoshigan is supporting Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he has disdain for Ashikaga Yoshiteru's old ministers such as Wada Weimasa, Hitoshi Yoshimasa, and Yagyu Muneyan.
In order to fight for power and profit, they did not wait for Yoshigan to come back to take charge of the overall situation, and pulled up Ashikaga Yoshiaki on their own. They wanted to leave Yoshigan to complete Shangluo, which was too selfish.
What's even more disgusting is that they actually asked Oda Nobunaga to help them go to Luo, opening the way for Yoshigan's most feared powerful feudal daimyo to enter the center.
His heart can be killed!
In order to resist Oda Nobunaga's infiltration, Yoshihiro, who took the overall situation into consideration, did not care much about them. But this knot is buried deep in my heart, and I am very disdainful of these unreliable speculators.
Using a few words that are neither yin nor yang to criticize Yagyu Munomi is also a way for Yoshihiro to express his disgust. Yagyu Munenomi's response was quick, which made him very satisfied.
After talking about the handover of the Yagyu group, Yoshigan smiled and said to Nizi Katsuhisa.
"Ni Ziji, you are too cautious, but you don't need to be. I trust you very much.
After going to Luo, I will stay in Kyoto for a while. I still have to ask you to continue to work hard on everything in Sibo these days. "
Nizi Shengjiu bowed and said.
"This is the duty of a minister, and he should do his best for the Lord.
Otai Suo, actually, I am here this time to ask you for two things. "
Yiyin raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What's up?"
Nizi Shengjiu hesitated, Yiyin smiled.
"Don't have any worries, just talk and listen. If you have any difficulties, I will understand."
Yiyin thought Nizi Shengjiu had some difficulties, but in fact she just didn't want to add insult to injury behind her back and make a snitch.
Nizi Shengjiu smiled bitterly.
"Master Akechi Mitsuhide is now dismissed and imprisoned. I should not have mentioned these two matters at this time. It is suspected of overstepping my authority."
Yiyin asked curiously.
"Is it about Mitsuhide Akechi?"
Nizi Shengjiu nodded.
“It’s about foreign affairs.
First, Master Changkaku from Kofukuji Temple wrote to me several times, complaining to me.
The second one is that Hatakeyama Gaozheng of Hanoi Kingdom raised troops to assist the army, but was defeated and went into exile.
Master Nagakaku and Hatakeyama Takamasa asked Master Akechi Mitsuhide for help, but received no response, so they wrote to me. "
Nizi Shengjiu stopped mid-sentence and looked at his master in embarrassment.
Yiyin looked unhappy, pursed his lips and nodded, indicating that he understood Nizi Katsuhisa's concerns.
In recent years, the diplomatic power of the Shiba Territory has been in the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide. It is her scope of power to negotiate with foreign countries and provide assistance.
Akechi Mitsuhide had other plans, and Kōfukuji Nagakaku and Hatakeyama Takamasa had no choice but to complain to Nizi Katsuhisa.
But what can Nizi Shengjiu do? She is in charge of internal affairs. Diplomatic mediation is Akechi Mitsuhide's power. To send troops to rescue, Mitsuhide Akechi had to declare war, and Maeda's interests could be used to fight.
This is Yiyin's problem.
He seemed to have divided his power into three parts, allowing the three ministers to check and balance each other. But Akechi Mitsuhide alone holds the key to the outside world. If she doesn't open the door, Nizi and Maeda can't control anything.
And Nizi Katsuhisa spoke coquettishly because Akechi Mitsuhide was reprimanded. Mentioning Akechi Mitsuhide's fault at this time would seem to outsiders to be adding insult to injury.
A trace of hatred flashed in Yiyin's eyes. It was a real bargain for her to let that sinister fox take care of herself. How many little tricks did this guy do behind my back, *her sister.
Yiyin said sternly.
"Ni Ziji, don't have any scruples and tell me these two things in detail."
Nizi Shengjiu exclaimed, organized his thoughts, and spoke slowly.
"Ever since the Lord left Konki, the situation in central and southern Yamato has become turbulent.
Although Master Nagakaku of Kofukuji Temple has profound Buddhist teachings, his political skills are far less powerful than those of Tsutsui Junkei, and he gradually fell behind.
Tsutsui Junkei first went to Raku Kyoto and became friends with Akechi Mitsuhide and Matsunaga Hide.
Then, she began to clean up the families of the Yamato nuns and the forces close to Kofukuji Temple.
Finally, in the name of protection, Kofukuji Temple was besieged. "
Yiyin squinted his eyes and thought.
Yodo Castle with its long and beautiful pine trees, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Kofukuji Temple. . Akechi Mitsuhide deliberately made friends with Matsunaga and Tsutsui, and he must be planning to kill the general.
Wanting to understand this, Yiyin became even more angry.
Tsutsui Junkei, a villain, took advantage of his absence to attack Kofukuji Temple, hoping to use Mitsuhide Akechi's protection to make things happen.
In the original Battle of Yamato, it was the logistical support of Kofukuji Nagakaku that gave Yoshigan the confidence to attack Shikawa Ichin and rush to the aid of the Settsu shogunate army.
Akechi Mitsuhide colluded with Tsutsui Junkei and turned a blind eye to Kofukuji Nagakaku's request for help. This was a slap in Yoshigami's face.
Yoshiun's character is benevolent and righteous. Master Changkaku was very helpful to him back then. However, at this time, the Shiba family was unwilling to save Kofukuji Temple. How would outsiders view Yoshiun?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he asked coldly.
"What is the current situation of Kofukuji Temple? If Master Nagakaku encounters misfortune, I will unscrew Tsutsui Junkei's head."
Nizi Shengjiu was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something. He wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate.
"Don't worry, my lord, Master Changjue is fine. The nuns' regiment surrounding Xingfuku Temple has long since withdrawn."
"Withdrawn?"
Yiyin is also curious.
Tsutsui Junkei had wasted so much effort and spent two years on it. How could he give up halfway?
Nizi Shengjiu said with a smile.
“After Xingfukuji Temple was surrounded, Yinrong, the head of the Xingfukuji Temple’s Hohoin Temple, decisively stated that the Hohoin Temple should abandon martial arts and practice Buddhism, and persuaded Master Changkue to practice in seclusion.
The weapons of the treasure house were thrown out of the temple. The whole temple was passionate about cultivating Buddhism. They ignored the nuns outside the temple and chanted sutras all day long.
Tsutsui Shunkei was under siege for many days and did not dare to enter the temple. Finally, after hearing the news of the Kyoto Incident and your imminent return, he withdrew his troops back to Tsutsui Castle. "
Yiyin looked strange when he heard this. No wonder Nizi Shengjiu suppressed his laughter. Treasure Court Yinrong's trick was really good.
The status of the Buddhist kingdom on earth in Yamato has been established since the days of the Emperor's court. Tsutsui Junkei and other nun samurai were all from the nun corps that guarded the temple.
They can seize power if they want, but if they hurt the current head of Kofukuji Temple, it will be difficult to clean up the mess in Yamato, a country with a strong Buddhist atmosphere.
Besides, Kofukuji Changkaku still has foreign aid. Shiba Yoshigan was so powerful in recent years, Tsutsui Junkei dared to take action because he saw that Yoshigan was not around, and Akechi Mitsuhide was conniving, so he took action.
