Wada Weimasa listened with his heart skipping a beat.
The general has just climbed out of the pit of Ise Sada, why doesn't he have a long memory? Akechi Mitsuhide is even more sinister and vicious than Ise Sadato.
She couldn't help but speak.
"General, Akechi-sama is a pillar of the Shiba family, and he must be put in an important position in the imperial palace."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki said disapprovingly.
"I'm not asking Akechi-hime to serve the Ashikaga family. I just follow the example of my ancestors and ask her to be a companion in the shogunate so that she can give me advice."
Wada Weizheng felt a pain in his heart, this was what she was afraid of.
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly and said.
"Actually, I have already requested the Odaisho to be stationed in Kyoto and be responsible for negotiating with the shogunate.
In order to prevent another misunderstanding between the Shiba family and the shogunate, I am willing to contribute my small contribution. "
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was moved and nodded and said.
"You have a heart."
Wada Weimasa and Hitoshi Yoshimasa subconsciously looked at each other, and both saw a sense of vigilance in each other's eyes.
Yoshihiro Shiba left as soon as he left, why did he leave this bastard Mitsuhide Akechi behind?
However, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was very fond of Akechi Mitsuhide, and Yoshihiro Shiba sent Akechi Mitsuhide to show his goodwill, which perfectly solved the crisis.
The two of them had nothing to say, they could only keep it in their hearts and be secretly vigilant.
———
Yiyin looked back at Mount Kasagi, feeling lost.
Mount Kasagi divides the Kyoto Basin and the Nara Basin, and is the natural dividing line between Yamashiro Country and Yamato Country.
A few days ago, he went to Kyoto from here in high spirits, vowing to unite all the shogunate families to suppress the ambitious Oda Nobunaga.
But today, he retired from his residence and returned home, having no choice but to leave Kyoto sadly.
Akechi Mitsuhide went to Nijo Imperial Palace to discuss his interests with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Shiba Yiyin made concessions in exchange for Tenshu, and finally successfully escaped from the quagmire of Kyoto.
But in his heart, there was no joy at all, only a heavy sense of frustration.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was ungrateful, and the various shogunate families were selfish, which made him feel cold when his passion was poured down by the ice water of reality.
He thought he had caught Oda Nobunaga with his performance at Tofukuji Temple, but when he was about to leave the capital, he received news that Todo Toradaka had been killed in Minami Omi.
The Oda family had just taken over the land of Minami Omi and were now in the process of suppressing the chaos with force.
Maeda Toshiie and Todo Toraka were the chief generals and deputy generals of the Shiba family participating in the joint military effort. How could Todo Toraka be easily assassinated?
Although the news came that Todo Toraoka died in a personal feud. But Yoshihiro Shiba knew in his heart that this incident was probably done by Oda Nobunaga, and it was more likely that Asai Nagamasa acquiesced.
Todo Territory is located in Inugami County. Todo Tora is supported by the samurai family of Inugami County and refuses to pay taxes, which has long made the Asai family feel uncomfortable.
The threat from the Minami Omi Rokkaku family was still there, so Asai Nagamasa had to reluctantly tolerate it. Now that the Oda family has taken over the land of Minami Omi, the existence of Todo territory is particularly eye-catching.
If the assassination of Todo Torataka was really a conspiracy between the Oda Asai family. That means that Yiyin's plan to have a fierce conflict between the two families over the ownership of the South Omi land was completely bankrupt.
Oda Nobunaga helped Asai Nagamasa pull out the thorn in Todo Todaka. Asai Nagamasa was finally able to digest the Kitaomi Shinsan County obtained after the war with Noragada, and the alliance between the two parties became closer.
The frustration in Yoshigan's heart stems not only from the alliance between the Oda Asai family, but also from the failure of his all-conquering beauty offensive.
He thought Oda Nobunaga would be trapped in love and confused by his acting skills. But reality has proven that Oda Nobunaga will not affect her world ambition for personal reasons.
Oda Nobunaga is not Uesugi Terutora, she is colder and more utilitarian. She may have feelings for Yiyin. But she will also ruthlessly weaken and suppress the Spo family.
Yiyin, which suffered successive setbacks, suddenly became confused about the future.
In Kanto, he was troubled by the Kanto warrior family. In recent years, he has been fooled around by the samurai family of the shogunate.
He couldn't help but wonder if there was really a problem with the way he was doing things. Is there really no reason or justice in this troubled world? The more shameless you are, the more nourishing your life will be?
Yiyin went from being in ruins to being at the top step by step. From doing everything possible to starting to pay attention to principles in doing things.
This is not because he is stupid, but because he feels that today is different from the past. He has enough confidence to do things with a certain bottom line and be more moral.
His three views in his previous life affect his behavior all the time.
He just subconsciously views himself based on the moral values of modern society, and is easily disturbed by his conscience. Even if you force yourself to adapt to this cruel ancient chaotic world, it is difficult to be as cold-blooded as the ancients.
When he had a little bit of energy left, he started to be merciful. And his hesitation became a weakness for others to attack him.
Is it only correct to become an omnipotent poisoner like Mitsuhide Akechi, or a murderer like Terutora Uesugi who kills everyone if he refuses to obey?
Yi Gin looked at Mount Kasagi, thinking about something on his mind.
Stick to yourself or go with the flow, that is the question.
If the improvement of status cannot make oneself more like a person, then it is really a frustrating realization.
The road follows the river and crosses Mount Kasagi between two basins. Yiyin was riding on the horse, feeling a little unhappy.
Suddenly, Pu Sheng's horse came forward and said to Yiyin.
"There is someone in front of the Grand Imperial Palace."
Yiyin looked up and saw that there was indeed a group of people waiting on the roadside ahead.
———
In Dongli Village, Yiyin was sitting in the main hall of the village house, looking at the dilapidated house.
This house belongs to Dongli Village and is considered the best house in the village. But in the eyes of noble people like Yiyin, he is really a bit shabby.
The status of Yamato is very special among the sixty-six countries in the world.
Yamato is composed of the Nara Basin in the north and the Kii Mountains in the south. The Nara Basin is the origin of the Yamato people and has an extraordinary status since ancient times.
From the Kamakura shogunate to the Muromachi shogunate, the samurai regime was reluctant to offend the powerful religious forces here, so the temple forces have always controlled the state affairs here.
The Muromachi shogunate did not have a guardian in Yamato, and it was always taken care of by Kofukuji Temple. Therefore, Yamato was called the Buddhist Kingdom.
This matter changed when Sanhao Changqing invaded.
Shiga Icun invaded Yamato Country and wanted to cross from the southern route and attack Yamashiro Country. This incident triggered a big thunder within Yamato, that is, the conflict between Kofukuji Temple and the Ni Corps.
The nun samurai family headed by Tsutsui Junkei is the leader of the nun corps under Kofuku Temple. They want to truly rule the Yamato Kingdom instead of continuing to be the hawks of the Kofuku Temple nuns.
For many years, the secular power of Kofukuji Temple had been eroded by the nuns and samurai family, and by the time Shihe Icun invaded, it was already full of contradictions.
Tsutsui Junkei wanted to use Tokawa Issun to eliminate the Kofukuji religious group, so he stood still.
As a result, Shiba Yoshigan, who turned out to be the leader, led the Iga people to cut down the partial master of Tokawa Ichin to the ground, giving the master of Kofukuji Temple, Master Nagakaku, another choice.
The head of Kofukuji Temple gave Peking University and Shiwanshi territory to Shiba Yiyin. The Muromachi shogunate also granted Hokuda and the guardianship post after the war, giving Yoshigan Shiba the status to officially join the Yamato Kingdom.
In Yamato, the three pillars of the Shiba family, the Kofukuji family, and the Tsutsui family were established.
The geographical characteristics of Yamato are the northern basin and the southern mountainous area. The main cultivated land is in the Nara Basin in the north.
The most important of the 100,000 stone territory given by Kofukuji Temple were the two rich counties of Timjo and Timha. Dongri Village is one of the seventeen villages in Sojo County, a village on the border between Yamato Country and Yamato Country.
This time, when Yiyin returned to Beidahe, the villagers in Dongli Village boldly blocked the road and asked Yiyin to rest here and give the local martial arts a chance to serve the emperor and see the beauty of the sky.
The person who came to worship with her actually had land from seven villages. The land controlled by these people has exceeded tens of thousands of stones, and as Sibo Yiyin, they have to pay attention to it.
After being invited back to the village to rest, Yiyin couldn't help but murmur in his heart, what are these people planning to do when they are suddenly so bold?
While he was thinking about this matter, Pusheng's village came to report, and these locals formally requested to see their lord.
———
In the main hall, a group of local bosses looked at the leader Dong Li, making her want to curse.
But she is the boss of this place and the owner of this place, so she has to speak. So he carefully looked at Yiyin sitting on the main seat, bowed and said.
"The village is humble and the hospitality is poor. Please forgive me."
Yiyin couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't like he wanted to come here to eat rice bran and live in a shabby house. It was obvious that this group of locals wanted something from each other. Now they hesitated again, which was really interesting.
he laughed.
"Speaking of which, you are all my subjects.
I have not been here for the past two years, but you have worked faithfully and provided more than enough food and supplies for the army.
Although I have been away for a long time and am not familiar with you, I know your loyalty and there is no need to hide it.
If you have anything to say, just say it and I will listen. "
With these crude realities, there is no need to quibble and guess. They were tired when they talked, and Yiyin sounded even more tired.
Seeing Yiyin speaking frankly and directly, Dongli plucked up the courage and asked in a low voice.
"I have heard some rumors. It is said... It is said that the master's family is going to provide food subsidies to the warrior Ji who is serving as an official?
All of our families have children who have become officials, that is. . It’s not that he is coveting the money and food of his master, it’s just that the news spread so well that everyone took it seriously. "
Yiyin wanted to laugh when he heard this.
The master's family has always raised taxes and levies on the villages below, and the master's family has given money and grain to the villages. This has never been heard of since the emperor's court was established for thousands of years.
No wonder these locals are confused. They can't believe that such a good thing can happen, but they are unwilling to give up this fantasy.
This group of people probably couldn't bear the itching. One village and one family didn't dare to stop and ask questions, so they simply banded together. Even if Yiyin is angry, he will not blame everyone, and everyone will not be hit too hard.
Yiyin smiled.
"You should tell me what kind of rumors they are, so that I can answer them."
Dongli gritted his teeth and said.
"I heard that food will be distributed at the end of the year. A daughter who becomes an official can get two full kilo of brown rice."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"This information is inaccurate."
Dong Li was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he thought it was reasonable and smiled dryly.
"Yeah... I just said there is no such good thing, who is talking nonsense, I have to teach her a lesson later."
Yiyin glanced at her and said.
"That was the previous plan, but now it has been changed. We don't have to wait until the end of the year, food will be distributed in the summer.
Every Jishi warrior who serves as an official in the Shiba family, whether he is directly subordinate to the master's family or a subordinate retainer, can get two stones of brown rice.
After that, it will be issued every six months. In a few years, the amount of brown rice distributed each time will increase to three dan. "
Dongli's eyes almost popped out of his head. Is this huge pie actually real?
Looking at the handsome Shiba Yiyin who was not as handsome as a mortal, Dongli felt that Ootai would not lie to a rough man like himself when he spoke of Tianxian.
She couldn't help but pinched her thigh hard, and she shed tears in pain to make sure she was not dreaming.
Yiyin watched with great interest as the expressions of a group of local people changed. Finally, a group of people kowtowed to the ground and shouted joyfully, "Long live the Grand Imperial Palace."
Dongli's lips trembled and he was speechless. After a long while, he spoke tremblingly.
"The Great Imperial Palace is blessed with good fortune and good health, and may your life be extended for thousands of years."
Yiyin shook her head. She didn't know where she found a few auspicious words. They sounded like the nonsense of the bald cultists in the temple.
he said intimately.
"What? How many daughters in the family are working as officials? Did they make a lot of money this time?
Is the spring plowing going well this year? The summer harvest is coming soon. How is the wheat growing? "
Yiyin's few down-to-earth words immediately made Dongli and others feel close to each other, and they talked non-stop.
How can Yiyin know how to fertilize the land, grab water, and have a lot of rain? He just smiled and made a gesture of listening, which moved these local people.
The old martial arts families in Beidahe were all forced into desperation by the nun martial arts family in the south, and they ruthlessly voted for Sibo Yiyin.
Now, the power of the old warrior family has been diluted by Akechi, Nizi and other important officials of the family. The young warriors of the old warrior family followed Shima Shengmeng to open up new territories in Kanto.
The origins of the places present are also messy. Yiyin has been away for more than two years, and he can't even tell which of them is who. After listening for a while, but not understanding, Yiyin couldn't help but secretly yawned.
Naomasa Ii who was on the side had been paying attention to him. Seeing that he was a little tired, he stepped out and said.
"It's been a long journey for Da Yutai. You have already got the answer. Don't disturb Da Yutai's rest anymore!"
Dongli and the others stopped without knowing what they were saying. What they were talking about was nothing serious. They just had the chance to talk a few more words with Da Ootaisuo, and they were a bit noble. They really couldn't stop.
Seeing Yiyin being so approachable and patiently listening to everyone's nonsense, these middle-level people were also moved.
Dongli took the lead and kowtowed to the ground and said.
"Don't worry, Da Yutai. After taking advantage of the master's family, the daughter of the family will definitely work hard and will not eat the master's food in vain!"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"Let the children of every family have enough to eat with peace of mind. If I am one day, the annual annuity from the Spozhong Fund will only be more, not less."
Dongli and others thanked him profusely and left with red eyes.
Yiyin is not singing a high-profile note. From the first day of its establishment, the Spozhong Fund was destined to issue more, not less.
In Yiyin's previous life in modern finance, there were times when Christians were scolded for losses.
But the loyalty fund in the Middle Ages did not dare not be paid. Even if it suffered a loss, the annual annuity had to be paid out.
The Wu family are all gangsters with knives, no better than the basic citizens who only knew how to BB in the previous life.
Regardless of the fact that they have sworn allegiance to the Spo family today, if the loyalty fund stops distributing food, people will immediately become unstable and trouble will occur.
