different warring states of japan

Chapter 1253 regained confidence

Yiyin has already seen through the temperament of the Wu family. The so-called loyalty is a transaction.The master gives benefits, Ji Wushi sacrifices his life, and both parties get what they need in a deal.

The Wu family emphasizes etiquette, which seems to be of high quality and many constraints, but in fact they have no righteousness and faith in their bones, and disregard morality and shame.

But the affairs of this world are originally a team game that bundles interests.You must have a clear understanding of who you are and where you stand.

Therefore, in the struggle against all odds, it works as soon as you grasp it.

These landowners will be grateful to Yiyin because their life is very difficult, and the exploitation of the place by the samurai daimyo is a bone sucking marrow.

Japan's loose manor economic system, after the Eighth Shogun Rebellion, had a tendency to centralize power, and local daimyos began to annex land in various ways.

Although the plains of Japan were divided into fragments by the mountains, local consciousness was strong and it was difficult to concentrate, but through violent suppression, the samurai daimyo made some progress.

From an economic point of view, the daimyo began to implement the Guangao system, and gradually moved towards the Shigao system.Use various methods to squeeze the remaining power in the land and improve your own strength.

The Guangao system can also be lazy and convert land income into copper coins to require local warriors to bear the corresponding military food and service.

Currency reflects its value by anchoring materials. Japan’s copper coins are uneven. There are Ming Dynasty Yongle Tongbao, self-made fine money and bad money. It is difficult to reach an agreement through the high system.

Therefore, the Shigao system appeared, which squeezed the localities even more ruthlessly.

The Shigao system uses the food produced by the local samurai's land as a reference to require the local samurai to undertake the corresponding military food service.

Accompanying it is the daimyo's land inspection policy.As long as the land is inspected, the amount of cultivated land in the area cannot be hidden, and the output will be clear.

The result was even more tragic oppression, which suffocated the grassroots villages, and even the samurai families in the villages were miserable.

Because the samurai daimyo has always squeezed the land vigorously, these landowners are very puzzled about the annuity issued by Yoshihiro's Shibazhong Fund.

The daimyo of the samurai family entrusted the land to the local samurai, and the local samurai were responsible for military food and service.

But Yiyin's gameplay is not at all the routine agreed by the feudal monarch and ministers.He comes from a modern society, and what he plays is establishment, social security, identity, and the ideology of class consensus.

Yoshigin has never really controlled the land, and the pedigrees of the Shiba family are only the Takada sisters and two Xibei.Without a reliable group of retainers, how can he firmly control the land?
At the beginning, Akechi Mitsuhide prepared for him to occupy the magpie's nest, in order to digest the important minister's family through his body, use it for the Shiba family, and lay eggs through the shell.

Whether it's the land that Yiyin has conquered, or the money and food earned through the Hokuriku Road trade route, he is a big hand.

The other samurai daimyos wished they could concentrate all the power in their own hands and let their own family dominate.

And Yiyin's approach is to play the role of the knife holder.The benefits are earned back, and he is responsible for cutting and distributing.His own share is dispensable.

He has always relied on the traditional ideology of the samurai family, unifying his thinking by safeguarding the consensus of the entire class interests of the samurai group, and obtaining his own transcendent status.

He just needs to be a fair allocator and doesn't need to be greedy for land.

Because, according to Zhizhi Guangxiu's policy of doves occupying magpies' nests, these benefits will eventually be inherited by Yiyin's own blood descendants in the form of future generations.

From the perspective of Ji Wushi in the female world, they are the ones who took advantage of Yiyin.In fact, from the point of view of Yiyin's own world, this is called spreading branches and leaves, not only not losing money, but also making a lot of money.

Therefore, Yiyin's generosity is a height that crosses the era, and even crosses the world.He can divide all the interests in his hands, highly bind Sibo's retainers, and will not be affected in the slightest psychologically.

He doesn't necessarily care who wants to harm his interests, Sipo's retainer group will be blown up first.Because their loss may be greater than that of Yiyin.

The Sibozhong Fund is another product of Yiyin's thinking of dividing meat with a knife.

The strategy for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest is the fusion of blood, and the Sibozhong Fund is the fusion of interests.In the final analysis, it is a strategy of deep bundling.

Unlike the samurai daimyos such as Oda Nobunaga, who have the idea of ​​centralizing power, what Yoshigin pursues is always the right to distribute, not the right to dominate.

After Imagawa Yoshimoto's death, the Imagawa family was attacked by the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family, and the entire Tokaido was in chaos.

The Tokaido commercial route system established by Imagawa Yoshimoto collapsed, and Junpu City, the core commercial hub, was robbed by the Kai people and dilapidated.

Today, the Kanto-Kansai logistics channel within the island country has been transferred to the Hokuriku Road trade route, and is in the hands of Yoshihiro Shiba.

Sibo Yoshihiko united with the relevant companies, which is tantamount to monopolizing the intra-island trade of Kanto and Kansai.

Sibozhong Fund is a deformed trust enterprise.The Spoel family acted as a referee and played football again. No one could compete commercially with the Spoel family.

The scale of commercial circulation in Kanto and Kansai is as high as several million.The Sibozhong Fund made a profit from it, and the profit was enough to support the Chushiji Samurai Annuity in the Million Stone Territory.

This is an advantage that other samurai daimyos do not have. The Shiba family can earn a lot of supplies without squeezing the land.

Yiyin even began to feed back the local area through business profits, winning the support of local warriors.

After the annuity was issued, the vassals of the Shiba family had no strength to contend with Yoshigin Shiba.Because the power of the samurai family comes from the land, they must extract the value of the land to enrich their military supplies.

And Yoshihiko Shiba belongs to the kind of stupid boss who kowtows to me and I give you money.In the hearts of these locals in Dongli, there may not be no small thoughts about people who are stupid, have a lot of money, and come quickly.

But if the money and food are distributed for a few more years, so that all grassroots Ji warriors start to regard this money and food as their own long-term income and become dependent, then no one can take it away!

Welfare is easy to send but not received, Shiba Yoshiin is not allowed, and those who oppose Shiba Yoshiin, even more so!
As long as Yoshihiko Shiba said, there is one thing that will affect the income of the Shibazhong Fund and everyone's annuity. Guess what the reaction of the grassroots warrior Ji is?
The Siba Zhong Fund is a double-edged sword, using a welfare system that transcends time and space to tightly bind the entire Siba Wu family group.

But the Spozhong Fund is not a panacea, it has two very serious shortcomings.

First, once the Sibo family's territory expands too much, does the Sibo Zhong Fund have enough financial resources to cover the increase in the number of annuities?

This is the fundamental reason why Yiyin acquiesced to Mitsuhide Akechi and continued to engage in the strategy of doves occupying magpies' nests.

There is no fund that rises forever in the world, and the stability of the Shiba family ultimately depends on the inheritance of the traditional bloodline of the samurai family.

Second, can the Shiba family's pension buy enough grain to distribute brown rice?
The market price in the island country is always that a copper coin is equal to two stones of brown rice.But this price has never been allowed.

The copper coins are divided into good money and bad money, and there is a bumper harvest of grain.How can the money earned by the Sibozhong Fund maintain a stable purchase price for a long time and buy enough food? This is a big problem.

In the final analysis, currency is the cashing of materials, without a strong anchor, and fluctuating prices are enough to destroy the stable loyalty established by the Sibozhong Fund.

With the same copper coins, the amount of food purchased in different years is different. How do you budget?
The treasure banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty failed and gave way to Baiyin.In the end, Zhang Juzheng reformed, and a whip method recognized the silver standard in disguise.

In exchange for Chinese silk, porcelain, and tea, Westerners continued to import silver from all over the world to Ming Dynasty, causing inflation to explode in Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the gold-silver ratio in China was 1:6, and the gold-silver ratio in Europe was 1:18.

After hundreds of years of changing times.

The Celestial Dynasty occupied [-]% of the world's silver, and the silver standard became the foundation of the economy of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The West does not have enough silver, but owns [-]% of the world's gold, and finally set up the gold standard.

In the island country, Yiyin is not capable of establishing a true gold and silver standard and regulating prices.The most suitable for the status quo of the island country is the Shigao system, which can also be regarded as a primitive grain standard.

But Yiyin only has a territory of [-] shi in his hands. He doesn't have enough grain to set up a grain standard, so he can only use the Sibo Zhong Fund, a trust company that monopolizes logistics, to obtain a large amount of copper coins.

Earn copper coins through the Shibazhong Fund, and then exchange them for food and annuities from the samurai daimyo.

There is a huge hidden danger in this economic cycle. Yiyin cannot guarantee that copper coins can be exchanged for enough grain.

But righteous silver can't send money directly, a large amount of copper money is not something the territory of [-] shi can bear, and the final result will only be to stir up the price of food in the territory.

The cheap grain hurts the peasants. This result violates his original intention of giving money to buy people's hearts, and may even cause riots.

Therefore, Sibozhong Fund is actually not easy to operate, and needs more means to optimize.

But today, Yiyin was a little relieved to see that the landowners dared to block the way and invite him to come over for the annuity of the Sibozhong Fund.

It is a good thing that the desire for food makes the landowners suppress their awe of the lord.

As long as Yiyin can guarantee the stability of Shibazhong's fund, the hearts of the people at the grassroots level of the Siba family will completely control him to death.

Yiyin's depressed mood because of the Kyoto incident suddenly improved a little.

He is not a poisonous man like Akechi Mitsuhide, nor is he an embryo killer like Uesugi Terutora.He wants to use his own method to live with more dignity and protect the people around him he cares about.

Yiyin's depressed mood finally got a little cheered up, he thought for a while, and said to Gamo Shixiang.

"Shixiang, send someone to ask Nizi Katsuhisa and Yamanaka Yukimori, how long will it take for the war in Nanhanoi to end?
If the matter is almost done, I will hand it over to the people below, and let them come back to see me in Duowen Mountain City. "

"Hi!"

You Zuo Xinjiao is dead, and the Nanhanoi samurai family is frightened by the siege of the crusading army from all directions. It should be no problem for Hatakeyama Takamasa to control the land of Nanhanoi, and it is almost finished.

Yiyin said again.

"Send someone to tell Maeda Yoshitsune, Otani Yoshitsugu, and Todo Takatora to come to Duowen Mountain City to see me."

Todo Takataka died, and the heir, Todo Takataka, became the leader of Todo Takataka.Compared with her mother, she has less prestige. The situation in Omi must be very bad.

Yoshigin needs to appease Todo Takatora's emotions, because the follow-up actions of the Oda Asai family will come soon.

The reason why Maeda Yoshitsugu, Otani Yoshitsugu, and Todo Takatora were called was because the three formed the military commander faction near Shiba.

Yiyin hopes to stabilize Fujido Gaohu. After all, her mother is loyal to Yiyin, and she died so strangely, it is inevitable to have emotions in her heart.

As for the embarrassing thing, Yoshigin bowed his head to Oda Nobunaga in Kyoto just now.At this time, the Heavenly Punishment in Kyoto should have begun.At this point in time, Yoshigin cannot fight back against Oda Nobunaga.

Therefore, it is very likely that Todo Takataka died in vain, what would the daughter of Todo Takataka think?
Fujido Takataka is very loyal to the Shiba family, no matter it is Yoshigin's personal feelings or the obligation of the lord, he has no face to ask Fujido Takataka to be patient.

Yiyin sighed and said again.

"Another person will go to Dongfu Temple and tell Master Changjue. I intend to become a monk and practice, so I ask her to guide me."

Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy of becoming a monk is simple and effective, and Yiyin readily accepts it.

He had an appointment with Master Changjue back then, and entered the Shingon sect, and the dharma name Qianxin was given by Master Changjue.

At this time, to officially become a monk, of course, you have to go to the Shingon sect to pay homage to the pier, go through the process, and become a Shingon sect's enlightened Goni.

Yiyin cheered up, gave several orders one after another, and took a breath.

In the battle for Kyoto, he sadly withdrew.But this world war has only just begun.

It was getting late, Yiyin glanced at the direction of Kyoto in the north, wondering what the situation in Kyoto was like at this time?
---

At this time in Kyoto, murderous opportunities are everywhere under the night.

In the Mibu wolf camp, a group of ronin sat cross-legged in the courtyard, eating rice balls in their hands.

Indoors, Mibu Wolf's senior executives and the hired mercenary leader were also dining.

Hijikata Toshizo's recruitment operation back to Sakai Port went very smoothly. Imai Zongjiu didn't dare to neglect Takada Yono's letter. Almost half of Sakai Port was mobilized to meet Mibu Wolf's needs.

The Hokuriku Road trade route has developed into a terrifying logistics trust group.

In the economic network that Takada Yono painstakingly weaves for three years, Sakai and Hong Kong merchants, local samurai families, and various people from religious forces are wrapped up.

There are so many conflicts among these people that they may not be willing to give in to each other.But with Siba Yiyin's prestige, he sold it to the Siba family for face, and they all cooperated.

In the final analysis, Shiba Yoshiyin's face is worth using some resources to sell favors.What's more, it's not that Imai Zonghisa doesn't give money.

With the resources in Takada Yono's hands, a little bit of leakage is enough for everyone to get a satisfactory return.

Even if it is the pursuit of the Miyoshi family, a hostile force, and discovers that Imai Sohisa is buying iron cannons, bows, arrows, and other ordnance, it is regarded as not seeing it, and it is not used to deal with the Miyoshi family anyway.

The shogunate is infighting, the more dead the better.

Isamu Kondo looked at Mamoru Shige Dohashi who was eating silently, and Toshizo Hijikata invited him.

The Jiyi people are famous for their mercenaries. The Genlaizhong belong to the Genlai Temple of the new sect of the Shingon sect, and the Zahezhong are the followers of the Yixiangzong sect.

Sakai Port merchants brought iron cannon crafts from Tanegashima, and cooperated with the Kii people to produce almost self-produced iron cannons.

The people of Jiyi country usually farm and plow the fields, and hire soldiers when there is a shortage. The money they earn back is used to build cities, and they have weapons and iron cannons.

Hatakeyama Takamasa wanted a piece of the pie, but in the end, Nelaizhong joined forces with Zagazhong to drive the Hatakeyama family out of Kii, making her a prodigal daughter of the shogunate samurai joke.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Ji Yi and this group of rioters were not easy to mess with.

Zagazhong's territory is on the east coast of the Seto Inland Sea, near the mouth of the Kinokuni River.This place can be called the sea and land of the island country. The local people are tough, they go to sea to be pirates, and go to land as mercenaries.

Dohashi of Zagazhuang and Suzuki of Togo Township are all well-known, and Dohashi Morishi is the leader of the Zaga clan who is as famous as Suzuki Shigehide.

Kondo Yu really didn't expect that Hijikata Toshizo could convince her to come to Kyoto and participate in Tenchu.
