Chapter 2056: Strong Strength Leads to Disadvantages

Yiyin smiled slightly.

  He believed that Kenshin Uesugi was sincere in what he said, but what was the use even if his heart was sincere?

What do the grandchildren of the Uesugi clan think? What do the other two of the three most powerful clans in Kanto think? How can the two sides bridge their differences over the future of their children?

  Contradictions are everywhere. Even the tongue and teeth can fight sometimes, let alone two living people?

Talking about feelings is useless.

Time will constantly dilute emotional impulses, and reality will constantly tear apart originally harmonious relationships.

Politics is ruthless, and a situation maintained by mutual affection cannot last long. If we want long-term stability, we still have to rely on institutional building.

This was the realization that Yoshigin gained from the death of Gamo Ujisato. If he wanted his descendants to live in peace and wealth, he must resolutely reform the system.

After talking about feelings and calming down Kenshin Uesugi, Yoshigaki's expression became serious.

“I intend to reform the food stamp system and spread the food stamps to all 66 countries in the world. The ultimate goal is to make it the only legal currency in the island nation.

Gold, silver, and copper coins are stored in the Sibo warehouse. Only grain coupons are allowed to be used in market transactions. Gold, silver, and copper coins are only used as currency reserves and are limited to foreign trade. "

Uesugi Kenshin was not well versed in business, but Echigo had a developed commerce, and under her Kasugayama Castle was the bustling Naoetsu, so she naturally understood the huge benefits involved.

Uesugi Kenshin frowned slightly at the saint's revealed economic ambitions.

  “Saint, do you think you can do this?

Since ancient times, people all over the world have been accustomed to using gold, silver, copper coins, cloth and other things to trade what they have.

Can people feel at ease if they are asked to give up other currencies and use only a thin food stamp for transactions? Is it really feasible to rely on a piece of fancy paper with numbers printed on it? "

Yiyin nodded.

“Gold, silver and copper coins feel heavy in the hand, which naturally makes people feel at ease, so we must find a way to drive out other currencies and change people’s habits.

First of all, we need to link food coupons with grain. The Spo food coupons must be able to be exchanged for an equal amount of grain in Spo granaries throughout the country.

Secondly, we need to control more commercial channels so that certain necessities of life, such as grain, salt, and cloth, can only be obtained with food stamps.

Finally, we will guide other samurai to store precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper coins in the Shiba Tsuchikara, and exchange them for Shiba food coupons for easy carrying and use.

As long as the Sōma family is strong enough, they can establish granaries and exchanges all over the world and control market demand in various places through the logistics system.

Whether it is through appeasement and concessions or through the use of force and coercion, the Wu family must be accustomed to using food coupons and no longer hold gold, silver and copper coins.

From now on, the Sōma family will establish a new Sōma joint savings system, with only Sōma descendants allowed to participate in joint meetings to decide the interest rate on Sōma food coupons.

All the descendants of the Shiba clan must unite and fight for our common interests, and bring the sixty-six countries under the control of the Shiba food coupon system."

Uesugi Kenshin nodded.

The three powerful feudal lords in Kanto were all large and powerful, and all three had powerful followers supporting their family businesses. They had already thoroughly studied the Sōma food coupon system and the Sōma federation system.

What Yoshigin said contained huge benefits, which were enough to unite the descendants of Sasaki into one. The key lay in how much the three powerful clans in Kanto could gain from it.

Uesugi Kenshin was silent for a while and then asked.

"May I ask, sage, how should the rules of the Shibo Joint Savings System be established?"

Yiyin said.

“I am not omniscient and omnipotent, I can only say that I am crossing the river by feeling the stones.

This matter is done for the descendants of the Sami God for generations to come, so we can only take it one step at a time, not rush to achieve complete success, and just keep filling in the gaps with amendments.

Naomasa Ii has designed the first draft based on my ideas and will soon release the official document to the public.

Let me say a few words here.

All the families of the descendants of the Shiba gods can send a representative to participate in the joint savings meeting to discuss the latest Shiba food coupons repurchase rate once a quarter. Takeda, Uesugi, Yuigahama, Hojo, Shima, Hosokawa, Akechi, the two Maedas, Amago, Sanada, Takata, and the pregnant Date, a total of thirteen families.

The chairman of the meeting will be nominated by representatives of the thirteen Sasaki families.

As for the principles of election, the number of votes for the chairman candidate cannot be less than 90% of the total number of votes.

For a proposal to be passed, it must receive more than 70% of the votes.”

Uesugi Kenshin repeated in a low voice.

"Comparing votes..."

The plan decided by Yiyin's voting is both the fairest and the most unfair method.

Fairness lies in that everyone has a vote, but unfairness lies in that the strong and the weak have the same number of votes, which does not reflect the advantages of the three powerful feudal domains in Kanto.

Before Uesugi Kenshin could show his dissatisfaction, Yoshigane spoke again cautiously.

“In addition, the territories of the descendants of the Sasaki clan are all regarded as divine territories. Since they are divine territories, they must accept my control.

I have ordered Yagyu Munenori to reorganize the Yagyu Group into the Dark Guards to supervise the Shinri. "

Uesugi Kenshin's expression froze, his breathing tightened, and his expression when he looked at the saint was even more unnatural.

Yagyu Munenori was a hero who helped the Sasaki clan recover during its revival. He participated in the first Battle of Yamato and had a lot of experience.

She was from an old samurai family in Kitayamato. When Kinki Saba Domain was established, she was granted a 1,000-koku title and became the head of the Yagyu Group.

The Yagyu Group is actually a group of swordsmen from the Yagyu family who were suppressed by the Sasaki family.

The saint established the Sprat Federal Reserve, giving each Sprat family a huge cake. If they do well, they can control the Sprat food coupons and the world's wealth through the Sprat Federal Reserve in the future.

But on the other hand, the saint also drew a red line for each family of the Sami clan.

If one admits that he is a descendant of the Sasaki God, then his territory will be a divine territory and will be controlled by the Sasaki family, allowing the Sasaki family's men to spy on and suppress dissidents.

Secret imperial censors? To put it nicely, they are a group of living devils.

Once upon a time, the title of descendant of the God of Shiba was a title that could only bring profits and no losses, and the military families that gave birth to descendants of the God could use this title to gain many political benefits.

But now, the saint is obviously going to have a showdown with the descendants of the Sami clan.

If you admit that you are a descendant of the Shiba God, you will have to bow your head and be controlled. If you do not admit that you are a descendant of the Shiba God, there will be no benefit.

Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, when this day finally came, Uesugi Kenshin was still a little confused.

Uesugi Kenshin looked at the serious saint and knew that he was not joking.

The death of Gamo Ujisato truly pushed the sage's determination to reform the system. He wanted to turn the Sasaki group into a whole, rather than the current loose alliance state.

Uesugi Kenshin knew very well that if this loophole was opened, it would not only be the Anxing Yushi and his group of mezuzu who would act in his territory.

The confidentiality group directly under the Shiba Central Committee, the Integrity Group, and even the Divine Guard that the New Shintoism is currently creating will all come to infiltrate.

The power of the Uesugi family to govern the local areas will be diluted by the central government. This is not just the case for the Uesugi family, but for all the descendants of gods.

Whoever is stronger will suffer more losses.

The three most powerful clans in Kanto happened to be the strongest and most independent among the descendants of Sasaki, so they were destined to be the most unlucky.
