Kamaojigo patted Ii Naomasa on the shoulder to wake her up and said.
"Follow up."
Ii Naomasa nodded, and the cavalry team of Tongxinzhong hurriedly followed Yoshiyin's horse as it retreated.
Kamao Clan didn't say anything more. It's useless to talk about this kind of thing. Naomasa Ii needs to understand the key.
Why are the senior martial artists of the Shiba family so nervous? It's because the distribution method has changed.
According to the ideas of the high-level martial arts family, if Shiba Yiyin wants to distribute dividends, he should also give them to them, the pillars of the Shiba family.
As for whether they, the elites of the Sibo family, will continue to send out money, and how much they will send out, there is no need for Yiyin Siba himself to pay attention.
My Wu family has its own national conditions here. The retainers of the retainers are not the retainers of the lord, so the lord does not need to worry about it.
But Yiyin's approach was beyond everyone's expectations. He instituted a policy of equalizing rain and dew.
High-level martial artists don't care about six more shi of brown rice a year. If they want to bribe them, they have to pay more. But things are different at the grassroots level. Six stones of brown rice is enough for the Ji warriors to sell their lives to the Sibo family.
As long as they are warriors serving the Shiba family, even if they are retainers of retainers, they are also eligible to receive a share of the Shiba loyal fund.
As a result, Shiba Yiyin has a close relationship with the low-level martial arts family. He is no longer a master in the abstract, but a bread and butter parent who is given two half-year bonuses every year.
These days, everyone is living half-starved, and it is easy to commit murder and arson just for a mouthful of food, let alone six-ton crops that are guaranteed to be harvested despite droughts and floods.
The Sibo Zhong Fund is a new contract that is different from the tradition of the Wu family.
During the Kanto War, the emperor's court was unwilling to reward military merit. It was Tai Ni Hachiman, a direct descendant of the Genji clan in Kawachi, who used her own money and food to reward the soldiers.
This was the Bando Hachihei clan's oath to always be loyal to the direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji family, the opportunity for the rise of the Kamakura shogunate, and the prototype of the cornerstone of the samurai family, the Fenggong bounty.
The Shiba Tadashi Fund is Shiba Yiyin's solemn commitment to the grassroots warriors directly beyond the high-level samurai.
As long as the annuity from the Shiba Zhong Fund continues, the grassroots warriors of the Shiba family will always be loyal to Shiba Yiyin.
The benefits gained from the growth of the Shiba family are no longer monopolized by the high-level samurai in the family, and all the grassroots warriors receive an actual share of the dividend income.
The Sibo Zhong Fund is a new distribution method that breaks through the tradition of the martial arts family. This method is unprecedented. It makes high-level martial artists feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts, but they can't find any reason to oppose it.
Yoshigan did not break class solidification like Oda Nobunaga did, give civilians a channel for advancement, and let civilians get involved in the military privileges of the samurai family.
He just let the grassroots warriors share the dividends from the development of the family business, and let the grassroots warriors get some of the benefits that were originally monopolized by high-level warriors through new distribution methods.
Although Yiyin's measures are unprecedented, he is still safeguarding the rights and interests of the Wu family group, but he is more inclined to the grassroots Ji warriors instead of only ensuring the interests of the high-level Wu family.
Compared with the possibility of Oda Nobunaga destroying the world of the samurai family, Yoshihiro Shiba's approach will naturally be more supported by the entire samurai group.
The Pu Sheng clan had long thought about this matter thoroughly, so they responded perfunctorily to the pleas of high-level martial artists.
However, Naomasa Ii was still too young and was moved by the slogans of high-level martial artists about Esper and protecting the family business.
She was actually encouraged to deny the Loyalty Fund in front of Yiyin, a policy that benefited grassroots warriors.
Fortunately, Yiyin did not argue with Naomasa Ii. If it were another master, Naomasa Ii would be in a miserable situation.
As soon as the news spread, some low-level samurai who were filled with righteous indignation shouted "God damn it" and hacked Ii Naomasa to death.
Why didn't the high-ranking martial artists speak up for themselves, instead instigating a little girl like Naomasa Ii to come forward? No one is a fool, just be afraid of death.
It can be seen that the power of the Sibo Zhong Fund has begun to take shape. The situation in Sibo's family is calm, and no one dares to speak out against it.
Kamaojigo looked deeply at Ii Naomasa, hoping that she would be enlightened.
Yiyin valued Naomasa Ii very much and asked her to supervise the operation of Shibachu Fund.
As long as Ii Naomasa understands his position and does things well, he will have a bright future.
———
When Yoshigan saw Ii Naomasa coming to his side again, his eyes were already twinkling with admiration.
Seeing Ii Naomasa's sincere admiration, Yoshigami couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
What he just said sounded pitiful and compassionate, like a saint, but in fact it was half true and half false.
Yiyin is not that noble, he is just a little better than those high-level martial artists who have no conscience and will feel uneasy about their conscience.
But if the Spozhong Fund endangers his own interests, then even if his conscience is uneasy, he will grit his teeth and suppress his conscience and protect his own interests first.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Yiyin is just a mortal, so of course he is not immune to this.
The establishment of the Spozhong Fund is in line with Yi Bank’s interests. Therefore, he can stand on the commanding heights of morality and criticize those high-level martial artists with ease and contentment.
After all, it doesn't hurt if the flesh isn't cut on you.
Bribing high-level warriors is bribery, and buying low-level warriors is also bribery. As long as the price/performance ratio is right, it's just a waste of money for Yiyin, there is no difference.
Using the Sibo Zhong Fund to stabilize its own image of Yili and promote the new style of the Wu family will bring many benefits to Yiyin.
Ashikaga Yoshiki is dead. With the re-establishment of the new shogunate, sooner or later the world will forget about this swordsman general and his strong feelings.
Yiyin cannot rely on his status as the general's widow to make others pay for it for the rest of his life.
The golden seal of the sword was worn by the shogun himself. After Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeeded to the throne, Yoshihiro must return it.
Whether Yoshigan wants it or not, the halo of Kawachi Genji's direct descendant will fade and disappear from him as time goes by.
He was not a woman and could not become Ashikaga Shogun. The influence of Kawachi Genji's direct lineage blessing was no longer there. He had to find other ways to enhance his prestige.
Regarding the dispute over the identity of the Ashikaga Shogun family, Yoshigan thought more thoroughly than those in the shogunate. The sun can also be divided into morning and sunset. How can there be a light that never fades in the world?
Sooner or later, the body of a widow and the name of an imperial palace will become a thing of the past. It is right to be prepared for danger in times of peace and to open up new paths.
Fortunately, he still has the unique name of Daiyi despite losing the golden seal of the sword of the direct descendant of Kawachi Genji, Yoshiyin and the white flag of Hachiman Tainiang.
Mother Hachiman rewarded the Bando Hachihei clan with kindness, which laid the moral foundation for the Genji family in Kawachi to be the direct descendants of the samurai family.
Yiyin followed the example of the ancestors of the Genji and used the Shiba Tadashi Fund. With a welfare system that provides equal benefits, there should be no problem in stabilizing the Shiba retainers for three to five years, or even more than ten years.
———
Yoshigan led his fellow soldiers to continue heading north. After crossing the Uji River, there were more and more Oda troops along the way, and the flags of the Oda family were everywhere.
Kamouso clan approached the master uneasily and whispered.
"My lord, the Oda family has a large army in Shangluo. We only have a few dozen cavalry when we enter the capital. If there is an unexpected accident, it will be difficult to fight back."
Yiyin said proudly.
"Kyoto is the center of the shogunate. No matter how arrogant Oda Nobunaga is, I will not tolerate her being arrogant here."
Seeing Yi Gin's righteous face, the villager of Kamao clan opened his mouth to try to persuade him again, but finally chose to shut up.
The Lord is upright and upholds the right path. If things are not harmonious, the worst possible outcome is that I will die in battle with my lord, so why should I be afraid?
Kamo clan thought too much, but in fact Yoshihiro was convinced that even if he failed in the political struggle, his life would not be in danger.
The Oda family has not had a stable foothold in recent years. Oda Nobunaga is not a fool like Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and cannot do such mindless and treacherous acts.
Oda Nobunaga has the ambition to be a world leader, and he knows how to advance and retreat when doing things, and knows the importance and timing.
The re-establishment of the shogunate was a game between Yoshigan and Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga captured the land of Minami Omi and had a foothold in recent days.
Yoshihiro cannot allow her to continue to interfere in the shogunate's affairs and further interfere in the shogunate's internal affairs. He wanted to join forces with Ashikaga Yoshiaki and other shogunate samurai to expel Oda Nobunaga from the central decision-making circle.
Only by demoting Oda Nobunaga to a local daimyo can we gradually weaken her power and suppress her ambitions for the world.
Yiyin himself knows that this is not easy. Oda Nobu's growth was extremely difficult to control, and it was impossible to eliminate the Oda family.
After Miyoshi Nagakei's death, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu made the Miyoshi family a mess. The shogunate couldn't do anything to the Miyoshi family, let alone Oda Nobunaga, a man of two million koku.
The best result that Yoshigan could think of was to force Oda Nobunaga to leave the center of Kyoto and not give her the opportunity to coerce the general to order the daimyo and take control of the shogunate.
As for failure, Yiyin also thought about it carefully.
It is almost impossible to have such a fierce scene where the enemy and the enemy are clearly divided in the hearts of the people of the Pu Sheng clan.
As a person in power, Yoshigan has a unique advantage that female daimyo does not have. He is a male daimyo who is single and has no heirs.
To put it simply, the cost of killing him is too high, but there is a shortcut to swallowing up the Shiba family.
The Wu family has a tradition of succession since ancient times. If a famous family has no descendants, the retainers will look for a daughter-in-law to inherit the family name.
When it comes to Yiyin, there is no need for a daughter to inherit. The winner will have a child with his wife, and the entire Sibo family business will be in hand.
Ordinary political losers must be eradicated. But Yiyin is the general's widow, and killing him would have too great a negative impact.
The winner can completely imprison him, remarry, have children, annex him, and get the name of the Shiba family and the name of the hundreds of thousands of stone territory.
Being a man and being alone means that the winner does not need to use drastic measures, and Yiyin's end will be relatively mild.
Yiyin himself also knows that if he is in his position, his failure will be limited. At most, Yiyin will not be miserable. The most unlucky ones are actually the Ji warriors under his command.
The risk of entering Beijing this time is even lower. The game between Yiyin and Oda Nobunaga is a power struggle around the new shogunate. The conflict between the two parties has not yet reached the point where it needs to be resolved by force.
Politics is the art of compromise. No one will rashly use war to solve problems unless conflicts become intense to a certain extent.
Even if Oda Nobunaga unexpectedly goes crazy and starts a war, Yoshigan still has one last insurance.
He knew very well that Oda Nobunaga was reluctant to kill him. The way she looked at her made her want to take off her clothes with her eyes. He had seen that lustful look in Owari's eyes before.
In the eyes of others, it was extremely humiliating. As early as the Owari period, Yoshigami played with Oda Nobunaga twice. Don't talk about it, Oda Nobunaga. . It's quite cool.
Everyone has only one life, and the fear of death is the most difficult emotion for people to overcome. Yiyin was sure that he had one last trick to kneel down and lick to save his life, so he naturally dared to be a bit extravagant in many things.
The worst thing is to sleep with me, I'm scared.
In the eyes of the Hamo clan, Yoshiyin, who devoted his life to the cause, is actually an ordinary person who is afraid of death and always remains cautious in this troubled world.
His mercy only applies when it does not harm oneself. In a sense, Oda Nobunaga, an extremely utilitarian person, is not as realistic as him.
———
The persuasion from Kamoji Township was fruitless, so the group continued to move forward and entered Beijing along the Kamogawa River.
Along the way, no matter whether they were warriors or civilians, they all respectfully gave way when they saw the flag of the Shiba family in the distance.
After entering the castle town section, Kamaojigo asked.
"Odaisho, should we go back to the mansion first, or go to Nijo Castle?"
Yiyin shook his head and said nothing.
He was carefully observing the castle town of Kyoto. It was really depressed compared to when he left. This time Sanhao went to Luo, and it seemed that he was quite indulgent.
There are two commercial centers in Japan, one is Sakai Port and the other is Kyoto.
Sakai Port is backed by the Seto Inland Sea and is the core port for domestic and foreign trade exchanges on the island. Kyoto has been the core center of the Ashikaga Shogunate for two hundred years, with countless famous families and nobles, and has accumulated most of the world's wealth.
Since the Yatsudai Shogun Rebellion, Kyoto has changed hands several times during wars, but most of these occurred within the samurai family of the shogunate.
Whether it is the mountain name Hatakeyama or Hosokawa Rokkaku, these daimyo of Kamiro are all descendants of famous families. They knew how to measure their limits and would restrain the army from destroying Kyoto before asking for property from the shogunate.
But this time Sanhao went to Luo, that was obviously not the case. When foreign vassals such as the Miyoshi family and the Oda family came to Beijing, how could the local roughnecks understand the advanced blackmail methods of high-level samurai families?
The general was killed and the shogunate was in chaos. If you wanted to make a fortune, you had to do it yourself. In the end, I didn’t grab much, but I was really struggling with the hen that lays the golden eggs in Kyoto.
Kyoto was plundered once by the Miyoshi family, which completely destroyed everyone's confidence.
Capital is extremely afraid of risks, and both ministers and merchants are bound to transfer most of their wealth out of Kyoto. It takes a lot of effort to re-establish confidence and get capital back.
Seeing Yiyin in the village of Kamousheng, silent in thought, he blocked the road and reminded him softly.
"Odaisuo."
Yiyin woke up from his thoughts, smiled and said.
"Let's go to Nijo Castle first."
He rode forward, but he was thinking in his mind that as Kyoto's commercial value declined, Sakai Port's status would become more prominent.
As long as the Miyoshi family is not crazy enough to ruin Sakai Port, Takada Haruno can do a lot in Sakai Port. The Hokurikudo trade route might flourish even further. God is really helping the Shiba family.
Yiyin was thinking about something on the horse when he suddenly heard a cry from Kamao clan.
"The imperial office be careful!"
A shadow passed through the air and hit Yiyin's horse on the head.
The war horse was frightened and jumped into the air, almost knocking Yi Yin off the horse. He held the reins tightly and calmed the horse with all his heart before he stabilized himself.
Next to him, the Kamao clan turned pale with fright and shouted loudly.
"Who disturbed the Imperial Palace? Let us protect you together!"
"Hi!"
Everyone in the group dismounted and rushed into the street tavern where the black shadow was thrown out.
Yiyin took a closer look and saw that the black shadow just now was actually a piece of crotch cloth. He looked up at the wine shop nearby.
This wine shop. . Is it serious?
