different warring states of japan

Chapter 42 Reform
In the early morning, Yiyin opened his eyes in a daze, and the benefit on the side had long since disappeared, smelling the lingering fragrance left on his hands.This should be done, right?
After breakfast, Yiyin gathered the Ji warriors at home to discuss matters.Sitting on the main seat, the Takada sisters are on the left, and the Maeda mother and daughter are on the right.

"The Lord is well."

Maeda Toshihisa pulled Yi Yin to salute, Yi Yi was so dazed that he didn't know what to think, he didn't dare to meet Yi Yin's eyes, and bowed and lowered his head.

"Master Yiyin, good morning."

The Takada sisters also saluted, and Yang Nai glanced at Yiyi unhappily.I don't know why seeing her is particularly unpleasant today, but thinking of Yi Yin's words yesterday, I resisted the attack.

"Hello, everyone. I'm calling everyone today because I hope you will get to know each other and announce a few things."

Yi Yin thought about it and said.

"Takada Yokino, Takada Yukino. Magi, Fume, of Shiba's family. This is Riku-sama, the mother of Yoshihime."

The two parties saluted each other, and Riku could feel Yang Nao's rejection, but she also felt very understanding.

If this matter is placed on her, it is unacceptable.The master's hard-earned knowledge and practice are all entrusted to outsiders. How can there be such martial arts rules.

But instead of her own daughter benefiting, she can only take it against her conscience, the worst is to be loyal to the public and pay it back slowly.

"Today, His Highness Oda's Certificate of Appreciation and Zhixing's Security Certificate will be delivered. After accepting them, Yang Nai, you will transfer the Certificate of Zhixing to Riku-sama."

Yi Yin said, Yang Nai reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Master Riku, I leave the matter over there at Ozazama to you."

Riku bowed again beaming.

"This is my duty. I will go to Maeda's house to negotiate later and get back my Banner Hime Samurai and the direct-administered Ashgaru. I believe that Mother will also support some supplies for the new leader.

I assure my lord that by the time the spring plowing is completed at the latest, the Ozama Maeda family will be able to operate normally, and at that time the lord will be provided with all the military strength to cope with the war after the new year. "

Both Yoshiyin and Riku understood that Nobunaga's pace would not stop, and the next war would be easy to fight.

In the past few years after the death of the first generation Nobuhide, most of the people in the territory were resting and recuperating. Now that Nobunaga is in power, he must go to war to fulfill his promise.

Fight for a new territory for yourself and for the hungry Ji warriors at home.

"This matter is troublesome to your lord. Yi Ji still needs to stay at home. The military at home cannot do without Yi Ji."

"This is natural. The reward is so heavy that you have to go through fire and water to repay it."

Li Jiu chatted with Yi Yin for a few more words, apologized and left first.She was in a hurry to go back to Maeda's house to find support. It was already deep winter and time was running out.

After Li Jiu left, Yi Yin turned his head to Yang Nai.Yang Nai nodded understandingly, and talked about the situation at home.

"This time the troops were dispatched and almost emptied the family's assets, and all the footlights were wiped out. Food and grass were also supplied to the front line. Except for the guaranteed food, all the supplies of the family were taken out.

In the past few days after the war, I brought the farmers and soldiers back to the village to supervise the winter plowing, and next year's summer harvest should not be affected. "

Yiyin nodded reassuringly. The summer harvest is the main ration wheat harvest of the villagers. Although the main family basically does not take it, if the harvest is missing, the village will inevitably be in turmoil.

Yang Nai can catch up with Dong Geng as soon as possible after the war, so he is very determined.

"You do things, I don't worry. So the material situation at home is not very good now?"

"Being more optimistic than I thought before, although the ashigaru is completely wiped out this time, Niwa-sama of the Oda family appreciates the contribution of the Shiba family.

The ashigaru imperial loan was fully repaid, and some spoils of war were also compensated.

I tried to sell them in the castle town and exchanged them for some coins and food. "

Yiyin smiled with satisfaction, so, if you want to study, look at how fast Yang Nai's mind is turning now.

"As long as the mobilization is no longer as strong as this time, the general slack war will not have problems at home this year.

The materials for the recruitment are already in place, mainly for the selection and training of the ashigaru, which needs to be arranged by Maeda-sama. "

Saying that, Yang Nai glanced at Yi Yi.Finding that she was out of her mind, she couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Li Ji, Ji Yi."

Yiyin called her twice softly, and Yiyi suddenly came back to his senses, watching Yiyin's face flushed red.

She is still a young girl, and yesterday's battle was too exciting for her.I've heard a lot of nasty jokes between warrior Ji, but I've never heard one as violent as Lord Yiyin's.

It is said that men are very weak and weak for several days after one visit, how can they be like adults, counting seven times by themselves in one night, it is really scary.

My lord is really not an ordinary man, it was the first time that Ji Wushi's physical strength felt pain in his lower body, his body was so soft that he still didn't recover.

"Master Maeda Yili, although knowledge and deeds are good, you don't have to think about it all the time. Rewarding the public is rewarding, and the public is the first, isn't it?"

Yang Nai's words were ridicule, she only took it as an advantage because she was knocked unconscious by a 1500 stone pie.If you know the truth. .

I guess he would be jealous and draw his sword to kill Yili, right?
"In the past few days, Yiji has been exhausted because of Master Lijiu's affairs. It is normal for people to be tired."

Yiyin said something for the benefit, but Yang Nai pouted, unable to refute, just burning with jealousy.

On the side, Xue Nai was sitting like a clay sculpture, now she stayed beside Lord Yiyin every day except for the sword, and nothing else could touch her.

"I'm sorry, Takada-sama."

Interests know that they have made mistakes, and they should first admit their mistakes.

"I've done the ashigaru thing at home once, and it should go smoothly this time. The main reason is how much stock the ashigaru plans to equip this time. Whether the supplies at home can keep up."

The two words, master and master, have a special charm, and I always feel that there is something.Yang Nai looked at Yi Yin and Yi Yi suspiciously, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

"I do have some thoughts on this."

Yiyin thought for a while and said.

"I want to give Ashgaru a salary."

"???"

The two women looked at Yiyin together, but Yukino remained calm.

Yi Yin actually thought about this for a long time, he felt that those ashigaru were too pitiful.They are all fresh lives, and birth is redundant labor, suffering from hunger and hunger.

What awaits them is that the older ones are selected by the samurai to enter the reserve team, and then die in a certain battle.As cannon fodder, the only cost of employing them is two meals a day, and they will not be full until wartime.

As a person who lived in the modern society in his previous life, Yiyin actually finds it hard to accept this kind of thing.But this is a feudal society, with insufficient productivity and insufficient food production, and there is nothing he can do about it if everyone does this.

But under the torment of conscience, he still hopes to change what he can see in front of his eyes.Anyway, he relies on the system to fight wars, more cannon fodder and less, it doesn't make any difference to him.

"The food consumption of ten azuki for one month is two shi, plus the consumption of the imperial loan and the doubled food intake during the war, it will be about forty shi a year, and will not exceed fifty shi.

In other words, the cost of an ashigaru is within five shi per year.I want to change the way Ashgaru recruits and give them five stones of food every year as their salary.

In this way, they can marry husbands and have children in the village, and have hope in life.It's not like now, just to eat every day in order to die on the battlefield. "

"But if they die in battle, their salary will stop. How will the widows and orphans live?"

Yang Nai thought long-term, Yi Yin was suffocated by the words.

"Then make a law that the children of the husband who died in the battle will be enlisted as servants in the family, and the children will be allowed to become ashigaru first when they grow up."

Yiyin never stopped doing anything, but simply said.

"Then... the burden on the family will also increase. Is this really feasible?"

"It's doable!"

Yang Nai is still hesitating, but Yi Yi has already become excited.This incident hit a weak point in her heart, thinking of herself back then, she bowed to Yiyin shyly.

"The Lord is benevolent and righteous. It is a great honor to be able to serve the Shiba family with benefits. Don't worry, Mr. Takata, this matter is feasible."

Straighten out the train of thought, interest said.

"Ashigaru has expectations, so he will naturally be brave. And husband and wife are at home, not for Shiba's family, but for their own family, they must work hard to kill the enemy.

Many families have been married, and the ashigaru people in the village all live together and have deep feelings.

Even if something goes wrong on the battlefield, you will not easily give up your fellow villagers and run away by yourself. After returning home, Wan Nu pointed out that the family still has a way to survive?

Now all the ashigaru are just to fill their stomachs, and the ten-man team will collapse if they lose one or two battles.I think about this arrangement, if you die halfway, the Shiba family will never collapse.

Moreover, the annual salary of a walking Ji warrior is at least thirty guan or sixty shi, and the cost of a foot light plus the imperial loan is only ten shi a year, one-sixth of which is like Ji warrior.

Although it is not as good as Ji Wushi's hard training since childhood, as long as three or four people are trained strictly to match Ji Wushi, it is worth it.

What's more, there are no retainers in Shiba's family tree, so how can he guarantee his loyalty by using a foreign Ji samurai?According to the master's method, the Ashgaru family all rely on the Shiba family, and their loyalty is far more credible than that of the foreign Ji samurai. "

Yang Nai didn't understand military affairs, so he was speechless at what Yi Yi said.But she is responsible for the money and food, so naturally she has to figure it out.

"The family's ashigaru cost doubled, how can they support it?"

"Recruitment is halved, if you don't recruit twenty, recruit ten people."

After listening to Yi Yin's words, Yiyin found that his temporary soft-hearted idea seemed to be feasible, so he was delighted and said decisively.

"However, it is not appropriate to spread this matter to the outside world. Let the other family know that it may cause riots, and the samurai family will be dissatisfied with the Shiba family."

Interest added.Yi Yin and Yang Nai nodded.This is not difficult. Feudal society is more than ten miles away from other places, and the chickens and dogs meet each other but never see each other.

Each village is very closed, as long as the upper-level martial arts do not spread the word, they will not know the details of each village for a hundred years.The three women sitting here are all loyal to the Shiba family, so naturally nothing happened.

Afterwards, Ashgaru knew that as long as they threatened to say that the outside world knew about it, the law would be cancelled. For their own benefit, even if they were killed, it would not spread to the outside world.

"That's it. It's decided. The detailed regulations are formulated by the two of you together, and I will implement them after watching."

Yiyin slapped the table to finalize the matter.Li Yi was very happy, and bowed solemnly to congratulate him.

"Your Majesty's move is very wise and courageous. After Shiba Ashgari's law, all Shiba Ashgari's family are Ji warriors."

Ashigaru samurai. .That's because you have a strong brain power, I didn't think so much at all. .Yiyin looked at her speechlessly.

Just brag, Ji Wushi practiced martial arts since he was a child, how can it be replaced so easily, I just want to make my conscience feel better.

　[-] words have been achieved, give yourself a thumbs up.
