Yiyin used the student aid program to push the brotherhood to the forefront and hide the Wu Family Ethics Promotion Association behind its back.
It not only appeased the famous families, opened the way through the brotherhood, but also eliminated the doubts and resistance of the local warriors.
Using the excuse of taking care of the heirs to increase the political influence of the Brotherhood will also be able to better support Spo's new ideas of ending the war in the future.
This is a man who only has Gil to play in many ways. It is difficult for a group of Ji warriors to think hard and not understand. What kind of situation is this? Can you still eat it with steamed buns?
Yiyin cleared his throat and said.
"Leave the children's matters to men. They are delicate and suitable for doing this."
The local people nodded one after another. Their husbands were taking care of their children, so what should they be worried about?
Since it was organized by the Brotherhood, of course they felt at ease. When there is a shortage of food in disaster years, it is better for children to go out to study and escape in an organized way than to starve to death at home.
Seeing that they recognized the role of the Brotherhood, Yiyin nodded slightly and continued.
"I looked at the fields in various villages along the way. The situation is very bad. Many villages are afraid that they will not survive next spring, and they cannot hope for the summer harvest.
How are you going to spend this winter? "
A group of village leaders looked at each other with grimaces, and the two leaders bowed together.
"I beg you, Tsudo-dono, for mercy."
According to the rules of previous years, this is the time to go out and grab food. Several villages banded together to rob other villages of food. They won a few extra lives, but lost a few families and died tragically.
But the disasters in the past two years have been so tragic that almost all the surrounding villages have lost their crops. What's the point if we go too far and don't grab enough food to eat on the way.
It just so happens that a fool comes to deliver food to your door. No matter what the purpose is, at least the food is real. Eat it first and then think about other things.
Bapu lowered his head and pretended to be pitiful.
“The untouchables in the village kept running away and killing batch after batch, but they still couldn’t scare these damn things.
Winter wheat has been planted, and the warehouses in each village only have seed grain for next spring. If they can survive this winter, they will still have a way to survive next year.
If you can't get through it. . well. . I just hope that Jindoden will be kind and don't let the children come back. Please leave a bloodline for each family. "
Yiyin shook his head. These people knew that he was here to provide relief, so they pretended to be pitiful. It was really cunning.
he said.
"No, there is always a way.
The Wujia Yili Promotion Association prepared 8,000 koku of grain to help restore the water conservancy facilities in Guanbazhou that had been in disrepair after years of war.
The middle and lower reaches of the Tone River are the areas hardest hit by this famine. I have ordered the re-formulation of the water conservancy project plan and put most of the food into your more than 200 hardest-hit villages to provide work relief.
I will use my work in exchange for food, and I will also repair your water conservancy and alleviate the Tone River flood next year.
In addition, I gave an order to Naoetsu.
The Naojiang Jinguan Office will summon the merchants who are doing business in the eight states of Guanzhou and ask them to organize a group of caravans to go to you after the beginning of spring and exchange grain for your local specialties.
Think about it for yourselves, what each village can offer in exchange, medicinal materials, ore, salt, anything. Stock up in winter, and after the snow melts in the Echigo mountains in spring, caravans will come to trade.
The Naojiang Jinguan Office will take the lead in counterpart business this time and will keep a close eye on the merchants' actions and will not allow them to take advantage of the disaster to lower prices, ensuring that you can get a batch of grain at a reasonable price until the summer harvest. "
The local people were so excited that they were shaking all over. Is there such a good thing in the world? The high-ranking nobles tried every means to exploit them and even solved their difficulties.
When they heard that Yiyin was going to the countryside, most people in the village thought it was a new scheme for high-level struggle. A few people considered joining the Sibo family in exchange for food, and then trying to ride on the wall after the disaster years.
Fortunately now, Yiyin really came to help them solve their difficulties. They didn't mention any conditions and just gave them benefits, but they were a little confused. There are no live mines in the Wu family society, so what is the Sibo family doing?
Yiyin doesn't care what they think.
He is not Hojo Ujiyasu or Uesugi Terutora, he only has his eyes on Seki Hachishu. Not to mention that it is not from good to prosperous, Ota Zizheng and other famous local families only have one-third of an acre of their own land in their minds.
There are two main things Yiyin considers.
One is to maintain Terutora Uesugi's presence in Kanto and prevent system missions from failing.
Both of them, try to accumulate cards in your hand to deal with the threat of Oda Nobunaga in the future.
With the backing of the Hokuriku Road trade route, Yoshigan had enough tools in his pocket to support his strategic plan. Things that money can solve no longer matter to him.
He can proudly shout that the thing I regret most in my life is the creation of the Hokuriku Road trade route. Isn't it just money? I have plenty of it.
What he needs most now is influence and the soft power that belongs to Spoelstra's new thinking.
Yiyin didn't even think about taking advantage of the Ji warriors in front of him. These cunning people were just on the outside. Even if they were grateful today, they would have a different look after passing this hurdle tomorrow.
In the short term, using the Hokuriku Road trade route to relieve local difficulties and binding them with economic benefits is an effective way to truly get them on their side and support themselves.
In the long run, Yiyin is waiting for their children to grow up.
The Sibo scholarship will help batches of descendants of the Wu family from Guanbazhou to travel to Sibo to experience the Sibo family's new life and movement.
They have experienced a prosperous life in SPOT and are attracted by SPOT's new ideas. They are the future supporters that Yi Bank can rely on.
A one-year student aid trip is not long. A few years is enough to cycle through the descendants of the lower-class Wu family in Guanbazhou. If you haven’t been there, you should have heard of the tall Spo Meng in the distance.
When these children become local young masters and local servants, they will fundamentally change the political ecology of the entire Guanbazhou region.
The famous names of the samurai family such as Hojo, Satake, etc., and the famous local families such as Ota, Nagao, etc. will be forced by the public opinion at the bottom and have to follow the rhythm of Yoshigan.
Being a lighthouse of the Wu family is actually very simple. You must first be strong, and secondly, be rich. Fame is always the icing on the cake, the hard part is how to become rich and powerful.
Yiyin relies on system plug-ins and is already recognized as a strong player in the world. By chance, he established the Hokurikudo trade route and became rich by controlling this trust.
It would be difficult for him to succeed.
At this time, more than 20 villagers were first shocked by Yiyin's generosity, and then thinking of his invincible image, they were naturally convinced.
They were so excited that they were speechless, and the leaders, Yaura and Sango, were also speechless.
Yiyin acted inhumanely, and did not use the condition of being the head of the Wu family to trick people, so everyone was fooled. Other than kowtow to express gratitude, they didn't know how to deal with this scene.
The Wu family pays tribute to the public and pays attention to reciprocal transactions. There must be a purpose for kindness. There is no intention, but it makes the people below not able to play.
Yiyin, on the other hand, didn't care that these wallflowers swore to the sky and swore allegiance to death, but they were forgetful in the blink of an eye and there was nothing to listen to.
he continued.
"I have observed along the way that the water conservancy projects in various places have been in disrepair for a long time and have become useless. The existing funds of the Wujia Yili Promotion Association are insufficient. Even if they are determined to repair, it will be a drop in the bucket.
I intend to ask the Wujia Yili Promotion Association to raise funds for a long-term and sustained project plan to repair water conservancy facilities in various places. Are you interested in joining this plan? "
The leader, Yaura, smiled bitterly.
"To be honest, Tsutama, our villages have suffered from the Tone River floods and have long been interested in repairing water conservancy. However, with the continuous war and the shortage of materials, we really cannot spare the manpower and material resources.
You also know that the land tax in the eight states of Guanzhou is six citizens and four citizens. Even the most generous Hojo Territory requires four citizens and six citizens.
Every year, just to mobilize farmers and soldiers to transport supplies and cheer for the battle, the village consumes seventy or eighty days of labor, which is really unsustainable. "
Yiyin nodded, these things were not a shirk, they were really pressed and suffocated.
The military food service in Kanto is generally higher than that in recent times.
It has become the norm to have six public servants and four civilians in land tax. Some crazy daimyo have added seven public servants and three civilians to the tax system. The grassroots have long been squeezed to the point of dying.
As for the labor of villagers, seventy or eighty days a year is already the limit. You know, labor service is also a kind of tax, and peasant women have to bring their own dry food to serve the military family.
Based on the economic level of the village, seventy or eighty days is enough to drain the villagers' food reserves. It cannot be excessive.
There are already enough rebellious villagers. If they are squeezed too much and Tu Yikui rises one after another, the Wu family will not be able to suppress them.
Therefore, if you want to extend your labor service, you have to take care of the food. The local military family is so poor that they don't have enough to eat, so how can they provide food for the labor service?
Yiyin was very aware of these situations. He had already developed clear policies and methods along the way, so he spoke calmly.
“The purpose of the Wujia Yili Promotion Association is not to raise funds from you, but to borrow money and food from the powerful samurai families, temples, and commercial houses in Guanbazhou.
Ina Chuji, a water conservancy expert from the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, will be responsible for planning the water conservancy project, and I will guarantee the loan. You are only responsible for mobilizing local villagers to participate in water conservancy construction.
With enough money and food, I believe you can organize enough manpower, right? "
Bapu nodded slowly, a little confused.
With food, of course we can get enough people to do the work. The village is full of hungry people. As long as they take care of the food, they will definitely be willing to actively participate in the water conservancy project.
But here's the thing. .
"Jindoden is willing to vouch for us, and we are very grateful. But we really can't afford to pay back so much food."
If other people come forward to guarantee, these cunning people may have already thought of ways to default on the debt. But facing Sibo Yiyin, whose prestige is at its peak, they don't dare to act recklessly.
Since he didn't dare to default on his debt, he had to pay back the money and food, so Bapu naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Yiyin smiled and said.
“You can still afford it.
Kanto has been at war for so many years, and the disrepair of water conservancy has caused the yield per mu to plummet.
Take Takasago Village here as an example. The annual harvest on the books is 1,100 dan, but the actual harvest is probably less than 600 dan, almost cut in half.
In the past two years, due to the great disaster in Kanto, Takasago Village was located in a lowland, resulting in repeated droughts and floods, with almost no harvest from the fields.
If the water conservancy can be repaired and the village's harvest can be restored to more than a thousand dan, wouldn't that be an extra 400 dan?
I guarantee that I will not touch the stock harvest of your village, but will only capture a part of the future income from the incremental harvest and use it to borrow money and grain.
Do you think it's possible? "
The Wu family is generally highly educated, and although the local servants who manage the village are vulgar, they are all literate and good at arithmetic.
After thinking about it, they understood what Yiyin meant, and it seemed that they could really do this.
Use part of the future incremental harvest to borrow funds for water conservancy construction. Then use the funds for water conservancy construction to increase the harvest per mu.
This is an effective positive cycle, but not everyone can do it.
First of all, it’s not the big guys like Yiyin who control the Hokuriku Road trade route who come forward, the name of the samurai family, the abbot of the temple, and the wealthy merchants are not willing to lend money.
The waiters in the countryside are notoriously poor, so it is easy to lend money and food, but if you meet an old man, what will you do with this bad debt?
Secondly, the small efforts of one village and one family cannot increase the yield per mu too much. Water conservancy projects are systematic projects. There are rules for dredging and embankment construction.
A tributary is at least dozens of miles long, and the Tone River is so long that there is no beginning or end. Unless everyone is organized, the repair effect will not be achieved at all.
Thirdly, the land in the local villages belonged to the lords. When the yield per mu of the fields is restored, what should we do if the local lord does not recognize the agreement between the village and the borrower and has to levy grain from the six public and four citizens?
In short, there are countless problems waiting in front of you, and it is a thankless and cumbersome task to do.
This matter seems to be reasonable for all parties, and it is a win-win cooperation. But without a big boss who convinces all parties to come forward as a guarantee, there is no way to start work.
And Sibo Yiyin happens to be such a big boss that all parties must give face to.
Yiyin needs the Wu family moral promotion association to penetrate into the eight states, use the brotherhood to help students and heirs, and use loans to help villages repair water conservancy. This is a great deed of immeasurable merit.
Although the local famous families have temporarily lost the income from the increase in land wealth brought by water conservancy repairs. But in the long run, the benefits will always go to their pockets, and those water conservancy projects belong to the territory.
The plan can raise funds to build water conservancy projects, the borrowers will make profits from their investments, the villages and lords will receive water conservancy projects to increase their income per acre, and the Yi Bank's Samurai Giri Promotion Association will be integrated into the land of Guanbazhou, and everyone will be the beneficiary.
Thinking of the beautiful scene in the future, these people couldn't help but lower their heads to communicate, and the room echoed with buzzing sounds.
Naomasa Ii frowned and coughed heavily.
Only then did all the Ji warriors realize that they had disobeyed the emperor and bowed their heads to apologize.
The leader, Yaura, said respectfully.
"Jinduo Hall is a great benefactor, and we dare not forget it from generation to generation."
She no longer knew what to say. Yiyin smashed pie after pie on the heads of these villagers, knocking them unconscious.
Yiyin has relived this scene several times along the way. More than 200 villages were smashed down, not to mention the local people were numb, he was also numb.
He said solemnly.
"The land of Guanbazhou is the place where the Wu family originated, and the Hanoi Genji is responsible for you.
As an elder of Genji, these are things I should consider, so you should not thank me repeatedly. "
