That night, Takeda Shingen was like a madman clinging to Yoshigami, as if he wanted to vent all the sadness and sorrow he had felt over the past five years.
Gigin was in pain and happy. When Takeda Shingen let him go, it was almost dawn, and it was truly dawn, a double dawn both geographically and psychologically.
After this in-depth and simple exchange, Yoshigage's view of Takeda Shingen became more positive and he became particularly valued.
Although Takeda Shingen is a despicable and shameless samurai master who does everything possible, in Yoshigan's eyes, her political stance is very reliable.
Physically, Takeda Shingen was obsessed with Yoshigan and gave birth to his first child, a lovely daughter that both of them liked very much.
Politically, Takeda Shingen can be said to be the most perfect political ally of Yi Bank. In a sense, Yi Bank cannot even find a second iron alliance like this.
A large part of the reason why Yoshigami was unwilling to take the Hokuriku Road to return to Kanto was that he had not thought about how to face Uesugi Kenshin and the daughter she gave birth to him.
The Uesugi family is the most important arm of the Shiba family in Kanto. Uesugi Kenshin's child was the seed given to her by Yoshigan out of comprehensive considerations.
Uesugi Kenshin has high hopes for this child, hoping that his daughter can inherit the Saba Uesugi family and complete the great cause of the merger of the two families.
As an important supporting force for the Shiba family to rule Kanto, the Echigo samurai group is also happy to see the Shiba Uesugi family merge and unify the world, and everyone will follow the chicken and dog to heaven.
But this matter does not meet Yiyin’s political aspirations.
The new regime that Yoshigan wants to establish is not a single family with clear lineage. If it turns out to be like that, it will be another replica of the Ashikaga Shogun family.
After several generations, the blood relationship became estranged, and each family of gods killed each other in order to compete for the highest power. Just imagining this tragic scene made Yiyin shudder.
Absolute power will only lead to absolute corruption.
Yiyin hopes that his descendants can be twisted into a rope to protect the overall interests of the Shiba Goddess Group and rule the island country for a long time.
Therefore, he is considering whether he can remove the supreme ruler's chair. Even if he can't, he must weaken the supreme ruler's power and make this chair less attractive.
This political appeal of his is in conflict with Uesugi Kenshin's expectations.
According to Uesugi Kenshin's thinking, the Echigo duopoly was becoming stronger and stronger, enough to use the political platform of Kanto Palace to sweep the world.
The descendants of Shiba Uesugi are extremely valuable and will surely be the masters of the world in the future. There is no need to share power with others.
Other descendants of Yoshigami can assist the Uesugi women and become members of the new ruling class, but the position of supreme ruler must belong to the Uesugi women.
Coincidentally, Oda Nobunaga thought so too.
Oda Nobunaga could tolerate it for a while, but she worked hard, aiming to increase her strength after unifying the world, and then trample the other Shiba Goddess families under her feet, and monopolize the righteous silver.
The other Ji warriors who have slept with Yiyin all have this kind of covetous attitude. This is the exclusivity of power and the instinct of political animals. Yiyin has no choice but to express his understanding.
Everyone thinks so, and it is destined that the most difficult stage for the Spagami system is actually the internal conflicts that were put on the table after unifying the world.
The strongest fortresses often collapse from within. This is also what Yiyin is most worried about. It is not difficult to unify the world. What is difficult is how to make everyone willing to sit down and share after unification.
Among the many divine candidate families who are closely related to Yoshigan, only Takeda Shingen's ideas are most consistent with Yoshigan.
Takeda Shingen bears the original sin. As soon as the child Takeda Yoshinobu is born, he is destined to be unable to become the master of the world. The reason is very simple, because Takeda Shingen is a strong man who committed the crime.
How Takeda Shingen obtained the Yoshigan seeds is no longer a secret, it is something everyone knows.
Yoshinobu is a soft-hearted man who cherishes his children and does not hold Takeda Shingen accountable. This is already a criticized political mistake. Takeda Yoshinobu should not dream of inheriting Yoshinobu's legacy.
Even after Yoshigami's death, in order to show his legitimacy, the successor might attack the Takeda family, kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and depose the Takeda family's divine status.
Therefore, Takeda Shingen's heart has always been filled with a sense of crisis. Regardless of the Takeda family, she must also consider the future for her beloved daughter.
Therefore, Takeda Shingen spoke out in front of Yoshinobu, insisting that the Takeda family become a part of the Shiba kami, hoping that the new kami system would have a place for Takeda Yoshinobu.
All the Goddess families may covet the highest chair, but only the Takeda family knows that they are not qualified to sit on it, but will firmly support Yoshigan's political intention of taking away the chair.
It's ridiculous to say that Yoshihiro has been running the family business for eight years, and he has so many cronies, allies, and lickers around him. In the end, his most reliable partner in politics turned out to be Takeda Shingen, a strong man who fucked him.
There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Takeda Shingen, whose political interests are most consistent with those of Yoshigan, is his most reliable helper.
With this consensus, Yoshigami is happy to help Takeda Shingen to help her increase her influence in the Kanto Palace in order to contain Uesugi Kenshin's political ambitions.
———
In the morning, when Takeda Yoshinobu opened his eyes and saw his smiling father in front of him, he was so surprised that he jumped into Yoshigami's arms.
Yoshigan held his daughter in his arms and looked at Takeda Shingen who had been lingering beside him all night, and his heart was filled with tranquility. Under the rising sun of this small lake in the mountains, the picture of a family of three sitting together is warm and happy.
Perhaps, this was Takeda Shingen's strategy. She deliberately chose this place and this scene to soften Yoshigami's will.
But Yiyin doesn't care about the truth behind it. He is not a cold-blooded emperor who kills and kills decisively. A hot bed with his wife and children is the life he hopes for.
The atmosphere deliberately created by Takeda Shingen seemed weak and bullyable in the eyes of the female warrior Hime, but it made Yoshigan like it very much.
After breakfast, the two took their children for a walk by the lake.
The child's energy seemed to be endless. Takeda Yoshinobu played so crazy that Kosaka Masanobu, who was following him, ignored the two masters and followed his little highness closely.
Yoshigan smiled and pointed to the two stone benches by the lake, sat down with Takeda Shingen, and finally had the opportunity to talk about business.
"Tokugawa Ieyasu hopes that I will come forward to welcome back the Imagawa clan as the guardian of Suruga, rebuild the Tokaido trade route, and make Suruga country a neutral zone between the Tokugawa, Takeda, and Hojo families."
Takeda Shingen sneered.
"His Highness Tokugawa is really good at calculating. With me controlling the Suruga Kingdom, she can constantly draw the Suruga people closer to her and create obstacles for me.
If I withdraw from Suruga Kingdom, Imagawa clan will really be her opponent. I am afraid that within a few years, everyone in Suruga Kingdom will only know Tokugawa and not Imagawa. "
Yiyin looked at the child in the distance and asked.
"Then are you willing to quit?"
Takeda Shingen looked at Yoshiyin, his watery eyes filled with affection.
"If the saint asks me to retreat, I will retreat."
Yiyin was so irritated by her eyes that he coughed to cover up his agitation and said calmly.
“Then retreat.
The world has been in chaos for more than a hundred years, and it's time to finally reunite. Tōkaido cannot continue to be in such chaos.
Tokugawa Ieyasu had selfish motives, but she was right in what she said. Instead of watching passively, it would be better for me to lead the East China Sea Road towards peace and restore the prosperity of trade routes. "
Takeda Shingen followed Yoshigan's gaze and looked at the child with a gentle look on his face.
"The total annual logistics volume in Kanto and Kansai is about five million guan. As far as I know, the total market volume of the Hokurikudo Trading Road now exceeds 4 million guan, and the upper limit is not high.
If the world is at peace and the Tokaido trade route is allowed to return to normal on its own, the interests of the Hokuriku trade route will inevitably be greatly damaged, and the interests of the Shiba family will also be damaged accordingly.
But if the Shiba family rebuilds the Tokaido trade route and controls both sides of the Hokuriku and East China Sea trade routes in the hands of saints, it is indeed the best strategy. "
Yoshigami glanced at Takeda Shingen.
"You are thinking openly. You worked so hard to win Suruga Kingdom. Are you willing to give up so casually?
The Koshin Mountains are short of salt farms and commodities. Without Suruga Country, you will be back to the old economic situation of mermaid meat. "
Takeda Shingen smiled.
“If you are willing to give up, you will gain something.
The Sibo family's food stamps, stocks, and land are all based on the high profits of the monopolized trade routes. If the trade routes are damaged, the Sibo family business will be damaged.
The Takeda family is now a vine attached to the Shiba family. As high as the big tree of the Shiba family can grow, the Takeda family can go as high as it can.
One will be prosperous and one will suffer. It's just Suruga Country, so there's nothing I can't bear to part with. "
Yiyin was silent for a moment and sighed.
"You are a sensible person. You probably understand the matter about Spo's food stamps."
Takeda Shingen shook his head.
"How can I understand it? There are probably not many martial artists in the world who can understand it.
During the Shiba-Oda War, the Shiba family took the initiative to bear the military expenses of a hundred thousand troops with more than 200,000 koku of territory. Who dares to say that they can understand the financial strength of the Shiba family when they spend such water-like expenditures?
Whether it's me or Tokugawa Ieyasu, we are just blind men trying to figure out what's going on, staring at this corner of the Tokaido Road.
But there are a few words that I have to remind you. "
Yiyin nodded.
"you say."
Takeda Shingen said solemnly.
"Food stamps, in the final analysis, are still notes in exchange for food. Even if the Spo family has extraordinary abilities and can turn decay into magic, it cannot change this fundamental.
The reason why everyone is willing to believe in Spo's food stamps is, ultimately, because they can be exchanged for food.
Trade routes only prospered for a while. The way to really make Sibo's food stamps be trusted by people for a long time was to focus on food.
The Wu family values land most, not because of stupidity, but because thousands of years of history have proven that all things rise and fall, but only food is the most valuable.
Land can grow food and produce food, so the Wu family values food rather than land.
Where there is food, there are people, and when there are people, there is everything. "
Yiyin sighed.
"You're right."
Yiyin actually knows very well that finance is just a numbers game, and the final result is to find ways to circulate wealth where it is needed.
The Sibo family's food stamps are actually using white paper to take food from other people's pockets. No matter how nice it is, the island country only produces so much food every year. If I eat more, you will eat less.
The principles in the world are actually the same. The value of credit currency depends on whether it can be exchanged for enough food. In an industrial society, there is also an energy demand.
Credit currency that can be exchanged for food and energy is valuable currency.
Many people like to follow the loudspeaker and shout, if you want to go to Yingyuanhua, use rabbit coins.
But they have never thought about why many countries still insist on accepting Yingyuan even though they know that Yingyuan is cheating people.
In fact, everyone is very clear-headed.
Because Yingyuan can really exchange for food and energy, although it has to be peeled off from time to time.
Rabbit coins can only be exchanged for industrial products. Rabbits themselves are short of energy and food, so how can they provide them to the outside world in large quantities?
A country without industrial products can at most live a primitive life. But if there is no energy and food, big trouble will really happen.
Therefore, the time to de-Yingyuanization is not yet mature. Those who shout those slogans should be careful about whether others will pick out their pockets.
In the same way, the same is true for the Spo family.
The food stamps were originally linked to the Houriku Road trade route. They negotiated with the samurai families along the trade route based on their share of the trade route and exchanged their excess food at a fair price to maintain the Shiba family's food stamp credit.
But as Takada Haruno plays more and more, the bubble of food stamps has actually been rising.
The food that the samurai family was willing to give along the Hokuriku Road trade route was no longer enough to support the numerical value of food stamps, stocks, and real estate on the books.
Even if Takada Yono came up with a way to build earth bank deposits to survive the troubled times and eliminate excess food stamps, it was actually poison to quench thirst and was not a long-term solution.
If you want Spo's food stamps to be sustainable for a long time, you must return to the basics, and the fundamental value of food stamps is to be able to exchange for food.
Takeda Shingen said.
“Although the land of Guandong has been in chaos for hundreds of years, with water conservancy systems in disrepair and low yields per acre, it has a good foundation after all.
I have calculated that if we can concentrate on business, we can get 4 million dan of food from Guanbazhou alone, which is much higher than the current 2.5 million dan.
If Echigo, Koshinobu, Tokai, Ou and other places can be brought under control, the territory will be worth 7 million or even 10 million, and the future is promising.
The Si Bo family does not need to control these lands by themselves, but it needs to be seen by the world. Saint, you can get the food the Si Bo family needs from these lands.
Once this trust is established, Spo's food stamps can become a currency more valuable than gold.
In troubled times, food is as valuable as gold. Gold may not be able to be traded for food, but Spo food stamps can really be exchanged for food.
Shiba Oda ceased the war and joined forces. The saint controlled the two channels of Hokuriku and the East China Sea, which cut off the hand of the Oda family to Kanto.
If Kanto can be run behind closed doors, the value of Spo's food stamps can be stabilized.
Therefore, for the great cause of the saint, the Tokaido must be led by the Shiba family, and Suruga Kuniga must withdraw, and he must withdraw willingly. "
Yoshigan looked at Takeda Shingen and listened to her slowly speaking.
Although this famous figure from the Wu family does not understand finance, she pointed out the core of the problem from a simple perspective of wealth. It is really not simple.
Yiyin couldn't help but sigh.
"you know too much."
Takeda Shingen smiled charmingly.
"Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. I take Sun Tzu as my teacher to strategize, and I always have to make a clear calculation before starting a war. This is my habit.
I am naturally curious about the rapid rise of the Spo family. Since I have the intention, of course I can study it carefully by obtaining information from all parties.
If the saint doesn't like it, I can be stupid and just be the slut and idiot you like. "
Yiyin glared at her.
"Are you crazy or stupid? Then there are no truly smart people in this world."
