different warring states of japan

Chapter 2063

Takeda Yoshinobu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

Everyone in the world knows that your mother Uesugi is a good fighter, but you can't use the methods your mother taught you mercilessly on your own sister.

Looking at Uesugi Miyuki's expression, it was clear that she didn't think she did anything wrong. Takeda Yoshinobu turned around helplessly and prepared to go see if Yuigahama Dango was hurt.

At this moment, Yuigahama Dango, who had been kicked in the face, had recovered her breath. She turned over and looked at Uesugi Miyuki with a look of fear on her face.

This little bully of Tamonyama Castle was indeed in good health. Seeing that she seemed to be fine, Takeda Yoshinobu was relieved.

Takeda Yoshinobu asked softly.

"Third brother, how are you?"

Yuigahama Dango looked at Takeda Yoshinobu, then looked at Uesugi Miyuki who was smiling and waving her fist, then she burst into tears and turned and ran away.

She is just a five-year-old girl. Even if she is domineering in her daily life, she is just an ignorant and naughty child.

If she couldn't fight, she would run away. Her instinct of fear of threat led her to run straight to the porch and go home to complain to her mother.

After all, this is Duowen Mountain City, and her mother lives in the city.

Takeda Yoshinobu looked speechlessly at Yuigahama Dango who disappeared in the distance of the porch. He turned around and looked at Uesugi Miyuki who was sitting cross-legged and eating Kara fruit, and sighed.

"We are all sisters, why do we have to do this?"

The three sisters fought like this as soon as they got together. Although the guards and servants around them were scolded away by Takeda Yoshinobu and dared not interfere, this matter would definitely reach the ears of my father and Lord Ii Naomasa immediately.

Takeda Yoshinobu felt secretly upset that he had caused trouble for his father, but Uesugi Miyuki disagreed and said frankly.

“Eldest sister thinks that being friendly to sisters and respectful to younger sisters is a good thing, but the Wu family has its own etiquette and rules.

The third child is too spoiled. If we let her do whatever she wants, who knows what she will become in the future.

When we, as older sisters, love our younger sisters, we should not just spoil them blindly, but also teach them how to behave properly. This is true love."

Takeda Yoshinobu was stunned. How could she, a child pretending to be mature, talk to Uesugi Miyuki, a real adult? She could only nod helplessly.

"What the second brother said makes sense, but I'm worried that if the third brother goes back to complain, it will make father unhappy. Father hopes that we will unite."

Uesugi Miyuki laughed in her heart, this was within her calculations.

I want to be a future star of the second generation of generals. It is important for me to develop well, but it is also important for my dad to see that I am developing well.

  Only if I am willing to treat my sister as my own will I educate her seriously. When my father knew the whole story, he would be so happy that he would not be angry.

Uesugi Miyuki patted his chest and spoke in a righteous manner.

"If father asks, I will take full responsibility for my own actions and will never implicate my elder sister."

Takeda Yoshinobu frowned.

"What are you talking about? You and I are sisters. If there is a conflict between the two sisters, it is of course my fault as the eldest sister present. I will take the responsibility together with you."

Uesugi Miyuki stuck out her tongue.

She, the daughter of Uesugi Kenshin, is a black-hearted woman who pretends to be honest, but Takeda Yoshinobu, the biological daughter of Takeda Shingen, is a really kind person.

I don't know how that cunning woman, Takeda Shingen, could have given birth to such a generous child like Takeda Yoshinobu. Could it be a genetic mutation? Uesugi Miyuki was chewing on a karaage fruit and thinking about it. She picked up another karaage fruit on the plate and handed it to Takeda Yoshinobu, saying.

"Eldest sister, please have some too."

Takeda Yoshinobu didn't want to refuse Uesugi Miyuki's kindness, so he could only smile bitterly and take the Tang fruit.

Now the only thing left on the plate was the karaage that belonged to Yuigahama Dango. It looked so lonely and pitiful, just like its owner who had run away, lonely and cold.

While the three little ones were making a big fuss over here, in another courtyard not far away, Yiyin was listening to the work reports from the officials.

Reform and innovation has never been an easy task, and the redistribution of benefits also depends on the individual's situation.

Whose interests can be touched and whose interests cannot be touched, how to make those whose interests are damaged accept the reality, and how to make those who benefit not go too far.

While vigorously promoting restructuring and innovation, Yiyin must also be cautious and look three steps ahead, which has made it physically and mentally exhausted in the past six months.

Politically, the Great Council of the Kanto Samurai-sho would replace the Council of the Kyoto Shogunate. This change had already triggered a backlash from the Shogunate retainers, causing Yoshigaki a headache.

Hashiba wanted to throw dirty water on the saint and destroy his golden body, but the saint also wanted the golden seal of the sword that Ashikaga Yoshiaki carried with him.

The sword is used to command the samurai, and the golden seal is used for foreign negotiations. This is the island country's imperial seal, representing the orthodox righteousness inherited from the samurai regime.

But it was easy for Yiyin to give out these two things back then, but it is difficult to take them back now.

It is best to follow the will of heaven and take over cleanly. If you make a bloody mess, it will be very difficult to read in history books in the future, and the justice of your rule will also be easily questioned.

In terms of economy, the SPAC food stamp system will be handed over to the executive branch for specific operation, while the SPAC Federal Reserve will be responsible for higher-level regulation.

The financial system centered on food stamps is beneficial to the descendants of Sasaki, but how to make powerful military families in various places accept exploitation is a difficult problem.

Although the local military families did not understand modern finance, they were not stupid enough to fail to notice that they had less and less money and food.

At this moment in the conference room, Daizo Changan, who controls Sakai Port Shiba Dokura, is speaking.

"The operation of the local military families' territories mainly depends on annual tribute and corvée. After the turmoil in the world, they also have to pay more money, plus temporary taxes.

Even if they claim to collect five taxes from the public and five from the people, in fact, it only refers to the annual tribute. Adding up all the other things, the local lord can collect at least 70% to 80% of the annual income of the territory.

After the Saba food coupon system is fully implemented, the tax system will inevitably need to be overhauled and the standards will be unified, which will affect the core interests of local military families and will be very difficult to deal with. "

Yiyin nodded.

The annual tribute is the land tax, and the Wu family's tax collection mainly relies on exploiting land resources. The four dukes and six people can be regarded as benevolent policies, but in fact it is just to let the lower-class people live half-hungry and half-full but not starve to death.

Generally speaking, the samurai in Kansai generally used four officials and six commoners, or five officials and five commoners, while the samurai in Kanto generally used six officials and four commoners, and some even received the tyranny of eight officials and two commoners.

One of the main reasons why the Hojo family was able to gain a foothold in the extremely xenophobic Kanto as an outsider was that they adhered to the benevolent rule of four dukes and six commoners and won the hearts of the people at the bottom.

Therefore, even if the nobles within the Hojo family's sphere of influence rebelled, many of the female warriors of the small and medium-sized lords under their command were loyal to the Hojo family, so it would be difficult to cause major disturbances within the Hojo family.

The corvée labor could last for eighty days or a hundred days. It was free labor with the laborers bringing their own dry food, but the people’s strength could not be overly exploited, and the busy farming season had to be avoided, otherwise there would be no harvest the following year.

Therefore, before the Warring States Period, most military families did not have strong mobilization capabilities and relied too much on annual land taxes and free corvee labor, and their wars and expeditions were highly seasonal.
