Maeda Toshiie shook his head.
“Even if the Ashikama Huizu is useful to the saint, this reward is too generous.
After the battle at Yuwu Lake, the saint had already sent out two to three hundred Sibo martyrs, and now he has sent out another five hundred, adding up to eight hundred.
Ishida Mitsunari, the head of Shiba Chu Fund, is probably scratching her head. The money and food every year are borne by the Chu Fund. It is a matter of great importance, and she dare not miss a grain of rice. "
Yiyin took a sip of wine and smiled bitterly.
"Toshiie, you come from the mountains and are used to seeing the tragic situation of the samurai family in the mountains, but do you know the current situation of the Ashikaga Hui clan and even the samurai family of the shogunate?
In the past few hundred years of war, the daimyo's food and drink expenses have become very simple, and the life of the middle and lower-class samurai families has become even more miserable.
The men of the Wu family were educated, cultured and temperamental. They were the most popular wandering men in Kyoto's arcades and had produced several oirans.
In order to make a living for the family, the men of the Wu family went to the verandas to sell their bodies, and this trend became more and more intense.
The merchants and townspeople no longer looked at the martial arts man in awe, and even looked at him with a sense of blasphemy. Nothing could be more ruinous than this.
Where is Ji Samurai? Because his salary was insufficient, he had no place to serve, so he could only become a wild warrior or even a beggar. They will draw their swords and kill people for a small reward, without regard for morality and shame.
Businessmen like to bribe such wild warriors to attack their opponents. Not only are they cheap, but they are also superb in martial arts. With a little money and food, they can drive the warriors and treat them as lackeys. How sad.
Li family, these children of the Wu family did not voluntarily become lowly, but they were desperate and fell into the abyss in order to survive.
The once noble samurai family of the shogunate are becoming untouchables. The samurai families in other places and the samurai families in the mountains are in a more miserable situation than the samurai family of the shogunate.
The entire Wu family class is degenerating, from a backbone of society with industry and dignity to a lumpen proletariat, who has no regard for shame and will do anything for money and food.
Ji Ji is the foundation of the Wu family. If Ji Ji cannot respect himself and live a decent life, can the world still be stable?
Defeating the disobedient daimyo and forcing them to surrender is only the first step to conquering the world. Letting the Wu family have food to eat, clothing to wear, and live with dignity is the foundation for the world to return to peace.
Five hundred Ashikaga horses returned to the crowd, and behind them were five hundred Hime samurai families on the verge of being broken up.
The welfare package of six stones a year seems too much for them personally, but if they want to raise a family and support their relatives and friends, it is actually far from enough, and they can only settle down reluctantly.
Kyoto is the best place in the world, and it must be stable. If you want Kyoto to be peaceful, you must ensure that the martial arts here can have dignity, dignity, and self-love.
Not only do I want to provide benefits to the five hundred Shiba martyrs, but I also order Takada Yono to ensure Kyoto's food supply and price stability, and do not allow large market fluctuations to cause the samurai family to go bankrupt.
This is a political account. Don’t talk about losses or losses. It is my responsibility and something I must do well. "
Maeda Toshiie stepped back solemnly, kowtowed to the ground, and said.
"The compassion of the saint is a blessing to the Ashikaga community, and also a blessing to the martial arts families in the world. The Toshi family is sincerely convinced.
Just now, Meng Lang actually questioned the saint's decision-making. He really deserved death. "
Yiyin shook his head. In fact, he was not as righteous as he said. He had another account in his heart.
With five hundred Ashikaga horses returning to the public, the benefits of six koku a year add up to three thousand koku.
It seemed like a large number, but from the perspective of the Shiba family, which controlled the Hokuriku trade route and had unlimited food stamps, it was not a big number.
The Bank of Japan needs Kyoto to stabilize as soon as possible, not only for political accounts, but also for economic accounts.
In the old days of Kyoto, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a scapegoat, was in charge. Anything that happened was the responsibility of the poor and the public, and Yoshihiro could just laugh at it.
But now that he has become the controller of Kyoto, he has the responsibility to maintain the dignity of the Kyoto shogunate.
Especially after Ashikaga Yoshiaki ran away, if Kyoto was still in chaos, the shogunate samurai would question Yoshigan and even vent their grievances against Yoshigan.
The Shiba family's financial source does not rely on land, but relies on the food stamp financial system supported by the Hokuriku Road trade route. The stability of the Hokuriku Road trade road is related to the stability of the entire food stamp financial system.
The Hokuriku Road trade road is mainly divided into two parts, the recent section and the Hokuriku Road section.
Since the Hokuriku Express section is mainly used for shipping, the most important thing is the safety of the three major ports, Tsuruga Port, Nanao Port and Naoetsu.
Yoshigan protected Tsuruga County's Asakura Keiki, which indirectly controlled Tsuruga Port.
The Noto Hatakeyama family of samurai who controlled Nanao Port and the Echigo samurai family who controlled Naoetsu were both firm allies of Yoshigan.
Therefore, Yoshibank is not worried about the political stability and logistics security of the Hokuriku Expressway section.
The recent sections of the Hokuriku Expressway can be divided into the Yodogawa section of the Osaka Plain, the Ujigawa section of the Kyoto Basin, and the Biwako section of the Omi Basin.
It is these three water transport logistics areas that support the circulation of recent sections of the Hokuriku Highway.
The Shiba family's main allies in the Yodogawa area are the Ishiyama Honganji family and the Izumi Hosokawa family. Oda Nobunaga is preparing to kill Araki Murashige and Ishiyama Honganji family here and replace them.
The east and west sides of the Lake Biwa area are now under the control of the Shiba family and the Oda family respectively. As the relationship between the two families turns to joint external affairs, Yiyin is not worried.
Therefore, the weakest link in the entire Hokkaido trade route logistics system is the Kyoto Basin where the recent sections of the Uji River area are located.
In the past, everything was Ashikaga Yoshiaki's fault, and Yoshiaki could just take care of the water transportation. But now Ashikaga Yoshiaki is gone, and Yoshigan has truly taken over Kyoto.
If Kyoto remains as bad as ever, and the local shogunate samurai's grievances spread, targeting the Shiba family, threatening the logistics security of the Ujigawa area, Yoshibank will have even more headaches.
Yiyin is willing to provide assistance, let the Kyoto samurai family be close to the Shiba family, and take the initiative to protect the interests of the Shiba family.
The annual welfare grain of three thousand koku is actually protection fee. Calculated based on the five million through the market of the entire Hokuriku Road trade route, it is almost a negligible safety cost.
As Yiyin said, the stability of the samurai family requires that the samurai class be able to live a decent life and sincerely support the new regime.
It would be a political nightmare for those in power if they watched this class gradually decline and become lumpen proletarians.
You must know that Ji warriors are social elites who have received a good education, know how to write and arithmetic, have superb martial arts, and are proficient in military affairs.
They are dissatisfied with the status quo and can cause huge destructive power to society, far more than ordinary civilians who lack education and force.
How to prevent Samurai Ji from becoming a pariah and ensure the most basic dignity and demands of the samurai class are serious issues that Yiyin, as the patron saint of the samurai family and a saint praised throughout the world, must face.
