The Shibachu Fund was backed by the Hokurikudo Trading Road, and with Takada Yono's deliberate support, it quickly grew into a trust that ordinary merchants could not match.
Political interests and commercial interests were intertwined, and the samurai family along the Hokuriku Road had formed a trade interest group headed by the Shiba family.
Ishida Mitsunari has such a huge advantage, so he must be making money every day.
In fact, even if a pig was put in her place, which profiteer would dare to deceive the Sibo family welfare organization appointed by Sibo Yiyin, dare to manipulate the transaction, and make the Sibo Zhong Fund lose money?
Ishida Mitsunari is holding a cornucopia. Sooner or later, he will become famous. Of course, he cherishes it very much.
She is talking here, of course, not to show off.
A troublesome task came from Kanto. Shiba Yiyin hit Ishida Mitsunari's head with the food stamp system established by Daxiong Zhaoxiu, requiring the annuity to be gradually changed from physical payment to food stamp payment.
It was not easy for Ishida Mitsunari to accomplish this.
The three places are far apart from each other and communication is not smooth. Originally, distributing annuities was a very troublesome matter. Buying grain nearby and transporting it for distribution made Ishida Mitsunari feel dizzy.
Ishida Mitsunari studied the food stamp system requested by Shiba Yigen and found that it seemed simple, but it was actually more troublesome than the original method.
Using food stamps to simplify the distribution method adds a lot of tedious matters to the Spozhong Fund itself.
In order to establish a food stamp system, Ishida Mitsei had to build grain warehouses in various places in Spurland, issue food stamps, send people to exchange them, and also have to guard against the impact of counterfeit stamps.
From her own standpoint, of course she didn't want to cause such trouble. The more you do, the more mistakes you make. The more you do, the more trouble you may encounter in the future.
But the Lord's move was to reduce corruption. The Shiba Tadashi Foundation is too important to the Shiba family to allow Ishida Mitsunari to push back and block.
To accomplish this, Ishida Mitsunari needs to establish good relations with big bosses from all over the world and seek the support of Spur leaders from all over the world.
At this time, she revealed the background of the Spozhong Foundation, and all the ladies present showed expressions of wonder. No one dislikes having a lot of money, and Spozhong Fund’s wealth-gathering ability is indeed enviable.
After showing off his wealth, it was natural to get to the point. Mitsunari Ishida changed the topic and said.
"Ni Ziji, the Lord sent a message from Kanto, requesting the Sibo Zhong Fund to gradually replace physical goods with food stamps and update the distribution method.
Have you received any information about this matter? "
Nizi Shengjiu nodded.
"The Lord has sent a letter to ask the nearby Sibo leaders to fully assist you."
Ishida Mitsunari sighed, took out a food stamp and handed it to Nizi Katsuhisa.
Nizi Shengjiu looked at it carefully and sighed while passing it to Zhu Ji for circulation.
"I didn't expect that these food stamps were so well made."
Ishida Mitsunari smiled bitterly.
"It's not good if it's not good enough. The welfare food stamps promoted by Kanto Shi, in just one winter, counterfeit stamps that can be mistaken for real ones appeared on the market.
Through Takada Hime, I have recruited a group of skilled craftsmen from Sakai Port to make food stamps specifically for my family to provide for my family’s annuity and welfare.
These food stamps are temporarily divided into one stone, two stones, and three stones, with a useful life of one, two, and three years. In the future, the strategy will be updated from time to time in order to resist the erosion of counterfeit bills.
The master's intention is to first try out food stamps in nearby Shiba Land, and then promote it in Owari and Kanto Shiba Land. In this mid-year benefit, three-thirds of the annual pension will be distributed in the form of food stamps.
I hereby implore all of you to assist me in completing this important task entrusted to me by your lord. "
Nizi Shengjiu said solemnly.
"Annuity benefits are related to the interests of the entire Sibo retainers group. Naturally, we will fully support you. What do you need us to do?"
Ishida Mitsunari said.
“First, choose a safe location to build a warehouse.
In recent times, Shiba's territory spans Northern Yamato and Iga Country, and the area is quite large. I plan to set up several warehouse distribution points to exchange food stamps for food.
This time, a location was chosen for trial use and food stamps were sent to the Ji warriors in the nearby Spo establishment. The specific requirements are to facilitate Ji warriors to withdraw food and to resist the robbery of bandits and bandits. "
Nizi Shengjiu smiled.
"This is not difficult. Just choose a castle town with convenient transportation and build a warehouse in the heart of the Sporland.
There are paychecks and city guards in the local area. Let them be careful about the safety of the Spozhong Fund's warehouse. You can then dispatch internal guards to ensure both internal and external protection. "
Ishida Mitsunari nodded and continued.
“Second, promulgate a decree to cut off a grain of rice.
Anyone involved in the production of fake food stamps who obtains more than one grain of rice can be beheaded. "
Nizi Shengjiu frowned.
"Cut off a grain of rice? Is this law too harsh?"
Ishida Mitsunari took the food stamps that were circulated, shook them, and said helplessly.
"An adult Ji warrior can only eat and drink two stones of brown rice in a year. This thin piece of paper can be exchanged for a year's rations. The temptation is too great.
Without the support of severe punishments and laws, I would not dare to launch the food stamp system. I would rather plead guilty to the Lord and resign as the deacon of the Sibo Zhong Fund.
Although making food stamps is difficult, it is not impeccable. As long as the benefits are big enough, there will always be people who continue to fake things in exchange for food. The only way to relieve the pressure is to impose severe punishments.
My lords, the food exchanged for the food stamps is welfare food for all the Ji warriors of the Shiba family.
If the money stored in the Sibo Zhong Fund is emptied by counterfeit money, I will be a sinner of the Sibo family. I will be responsible for my death, so I might as well resign as soon as possible. "
Nizi Katsuhisa glanced at Ishida Mitsunari and then at all the ladies in the room, knowing that no one would object to this decree.
The original intention of Shiba Yiyin to establish the Shiba Tadashi Fund was to share the wealth of the Shiba family with the entire Shiba family group and bind the Shiba family retainers with benefits.
Now, the welfare food from the Shiba Zhong Fund has been regarded as something in the Shiba Family Ji warriors' pockets. How can they allow someone to fake it and plunder their wealth?
The law of killing a grain of rice sounds cruel, but this attitude of guarding against the slightest and never forgiving is also a responsible attitude towards the entire martial arts family of the Shiba family.
Anyone who disagrees at this time is standing on the opposite side of the entire Shiba Wu family group, and only a fool would stand up to oppose it.
Nizi Shengjiu thought for a while and said.
“In principle, there is no problem with the law of cutting off a grain of rice.
However, this order is too harsh and has the reputation of harming the Lord's kindness, so we, who have been in charge of Sibo in recent years, will issue it on our own and stop going to Lord Chen. "
Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at Nizi Katsuhisa, his eyes flashing.
Nizi Shengjiu's move was quite systematic.
Shiba Yiyin has always demonstrated the principles of the martial arts to others, and the martial arts all over the world praise him as the elder of the Gen clan who is benevolent and righteous.
Since you are a kind elder, it is not easy for you to do cruel things. But if you are trapped by benevolence and righteousness, your plans will be ruined.
Nizi Katsuhisa's idea was good, and Zhu Ji, who led the council in recent times, issued a decree in the name of the local area to kill every grain of rice.
This belongs to the local policy of Sibo Territory in recent years, not the order of Sibo Yiyin. The name of cruelty cannot be boycotted by Sibo Yiyin.
But Nizi Shengjiu's move set a bad precedent. That is, if the concubines in the local Si Bo territory unanimously approve it, they can implement independent local laws without having to go to Lord Chen.
If someone follows this precedent and introduces other local laws in the future, will it be regarded as a strategy to evade the monarch's governance?
Akechi Mitsuhide was not sure. Did Nizi Katsuhisa not think of this, or did he do it deliberately?
Shiba Yiyin is expanding everywhere, and the Shiba territory has now been divided into three areas: Konka, Owari, and Kanto. If the Shiba family grows in the future, will it further complicate the power relations in the family?
Even if Nizi Katsuhisa didn't mean it, if one day the local council promulgates a law that conflicts with the central government's law, will it lead to conflict and division?
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes became more and more profound, and she knew that she could not oppose the law of killing a grain of rice. Otherwise, the predicament of Maeda's interests just now will immediately become the embarrassment she has to face.
With the rapid expansion of Sibo Yiyin's power, it encountered more and more troubles both internally and externally.
For the first time, Akechi Mitsuhide found that she was somewhat powerless. Whether it was her colleagues or foreign enemies, they were growing faster than she expected.
She secretly sighed when she got angry. It was really not that easy to change the world.
We can only do our best in human affairs and obey the fate of fate. The time is also the destiny.
———
In the context of the Ashikaga-Oda dispute, the important ministers of the Shiba Territory have launched fierce discussions in recent years. The interests of Maeda of the war faction were suppressed by Akechi Mitsuhide of the peace faction.
As Ishida Mitsunari mentioned the food stamp system, Zhu Ji turned his attention from the outside to the inside, and began to pay attention to the mid-year welfare distribution, a matter of vital interest.
All the Jis present were high-level martial artists, so naturally they were not short of this little pension, but the warrior Jis under their command who were dining with them were all watching eagerly.
When the boss does not seek the welfare of his subordinates, sooner or later he will be hacked to death by his resentful subordinates. It is understandable that everyone pays more attention to food stamps and pension issues than the Ashikaga-Oda dispute.
While Shiba was conducting the review, in a quiet room at Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had just returned to Kyoto, was having a secret conversation with Takenaka Shigeharu.
Oda Nobunaga seems to like this courtyard of Tofukuji Temple very much. This was once the place where Yoshigan Shiba stayed in Kyoto when he was in decline.
Even though the Oda army had withdrawn from Yamashiro Country, Oda Nobunaga still took over this place and regarded it as the Oda family's stronghold in Kyoto.
As the representative of the Oda family stationed in Kyoto, Hideyoshi Hashiba simply stayed in the side room here.
Every time he walked around the courtyard and saw the dark place where he had been listening to the wall, Hideyoshi Hashiba couldn't help but be in a daze.
The humble Hideyoshi, who was inconspicuous back then, was already a Kyoto garrison arranged by the Oda family, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in the house with Yoshigan Shiba, was another Kyoto garrison appointed by the shogunate.
Fate is wonderful, but also makes people feel extremely sad. The so-called suffering in life comes from asking for something but not getting it.
As Hashiba Hideyoshi expected, the Oda family's Ise expedition went very smoothly.
After she gained a fortune in the military, she was driven back to Kyoto by Oda Nobunaga, and continued to play her role as a garrison in Kyoto, keeping an eye on Ashikaga Yoshiaki's every move for the Oda family.
Hashiba Hideyoshi said to Takenaka Shigeharu after touching his thigh that was injured during the Ise expedition and no longer feeling the pain.
"The general seems to dislike me.
After I returned to Kyoto, I first went to Nijo Castle to say hello, but I was turned away and refused to give me any etiquette encouragement.
It seems that the day when Ashikaga Oda will break up is not far away. "
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
"Our general is already so overwhelmed that he can't even care about etiquette.
Araki Murashige raided Ikeda Castle and killed Ikeda Katsunaga, one of the three guardians of Settsu appointed by the shogunate just now.
She also falsely claimed that the Ikeda family and the Itami family were conspiring to bring back the Miyoshi family, return to rule the Settsu Kingdom, and portray herself as loyal to the shogunate.
Now, Tsuneki Ikeda of Sakai Port and Murashige Araki, who captured Ikeda Castle, are staring at Itami Castle to the west. They are so frightened that the Itami family has been asking the shogunate to resign as one of the three guardians of Settsu.
Also, Mibuchi Fujihide had already crossed the Yodogawa River north, raided Takaki Castle, and drove away Wada Yaimai, one of the three guardians of Retsu.
Wada Weimasa was a minister of Conglong, and the general had been wooing Mibuchi Fujihide, and even offered Fushimi Castle to her. But what about her? But he slapped the general hard.
The shogunate had just appointed the three guardians of Settsu last winter, but now it's not even summer yet, so they resigned and fled. The general's face was swollen, and he was disgraced but unable to fight back.
She now hates the Oda family who is causing trouble behind their backs. How can you, an Oda retainer, not receive a cold reception when you go to Nijo Castle to pay your respects? "
Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded and said.
"General, she only has the temper to give me a look. What else can she do?"
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
"Wada Weimasa was driven out of Takano Castle, and she wanted to come to Kyoto and ask the general to make the decision for her.
But just halfway through, I heard the bad news about Minami Omi. The Wada family's territory in Minami Omi was discovered by Niwa Nagahide-sama.
The main hall was furious, and they were not allowed to enter, the city wall was demolished, and a fine of 20,000 yuan was confiscated. There were three severe disciplinary orders.
The Wada family may be doomed. "
Wada Weimasa was born in the Wada family, a wealthy family in Wada Village, Koka County, and was one of the twenty-one Koka clan who served as officials in Rokkaku.
During the honeymoon period of the cooperation between Rokkaku Sadeyori and Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Wada Yamasa served as a diplomat for the shogunate and became the bridge between Ashikaga Rokkaku and Ashikaga.
However, after the death of Rokkaku Sadayori and the reign of Rokkaku Yoshiken and his daughter, the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the Rokkaku family deteriorated extremely, and Wada Weimasa's position became precarious.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Kyoto Incident, Wada Weimasa bet on Ashikaga Yoshiaki. With the help of Yoshihiro Shiba and Oda Nobunaga, he successfully went to Luo to become the new Ashikaga shogun.
Wada Weimasa made a lot of money from this investment.
Wada Weimasa ranks first among Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Conglong no ministers, and naturally the rewards are huge. The position of one of the three guardians of Settsu was Ashikaga Yoshiaki's greatest gift to her.
It's a pity that she and Ashikaga Yoshiaki were too close, which naturally attracted the attention of Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga was about to give Ashikaga Yoshiaki some color, so he captured Wada Weimasa, the monkey, and killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, so that everyone could see the embarrassment of Ashikaga General being unable to protect the Conglong minister.
Kill people, kill your heart.
