different warring states of japan

Chapter 672

Ben Zhuang thought for a while and said.

"It's weird. Winter is coming, and the road will be closed soon after heavy snowfall. At this time, if you don't stay at home for the winter, what are you doing for transportation?
The Naoetsu sea route has stopped for fear of freezing the port, and there is no cargo passing through Shikotsu.

Moreover, even if it is a caravan exchange, it is also a mutual delivery, so there is no reason for Aizu to keep delivering. "

The Hokuriku Road trade route arrived at Echigo Naoetsu, and continued to sell to the Kanto, mainly through three routes.

One is to go to the Shinano country on the Myoko plateau. This road has just finished the Kawanakajima War and has not yet been opened.

The second is that China and Vietnam went to Ueno country and went straight to the Kanto Plain.Most of the Kanto samurai are not rich, and the Kanto Plain is considered rich, and most of the goods go there.

The third is to go down to Aizu, and directly enter the two countries of Ou and Yu in the north.

This road is the farthest and earns the least.There are very few caravans on weekdays, let alone now that the heavy snow will block the road at any time.

A large amount of materials were imported into the central part of Xiayue, which is the site of the Miura Party and the Sasaki Party of Yangbei Central Committee. Who is hoarding the materials?
Ben Zhuang Fanchang noticed a little weirdness and said.

"Order the family to temporarily abandon other affairs, concentrate on investigating this matter, and find out where the supplies have gone.

It's best to find out the types of materials, I need to know what is being shipped in. "

"Hi!"

The confidant hurried out to do errands, Ben Zhuang Fanchang's expression was uncertain, with a sense of ominous foreboding.

---

In late autumn and winter, the sea breeze turns cold.

The cold current blowing from the ocean roared across the Echigo Plain, was blocked by the Echigo Mountains, and turned back on the plain.

At this pass where they were packing up and preparing to endure the winter, a group of seven or eight warriors on horseback rushed all the way to Naotsu Port Town.

Naoe Kanetsugu, who had already received the news, waited outside the town for a long time.Seeing Naoe Jinggang arriving on horseback, he stepped forward to help rein in.

"Mother-in-law, you came so fast."

Naoe Jinggang got off the horse with a cold face, and asked his daughter-in-law without politeness.

"How is the situation now? Ishida Mitsunari still refuses to give in? How much linen business is left in the market? What about the acquisition of green linen cloth?"

Naoe Kanetsugu said with a wry smile.

"I negotiated with her three times, but she refused to let go.

The linen business on the market has been emptied by [-]%, and I estimate that it will drop by [-]% in the next two days.

The transaction of green linen and cloth has come to a complete standstill.

Since the Shiba family had the convenience of shipping, no one in Echigo organized a caravan to go to Luojingdu to sell green hemp and cloth.

Everyone was waiting and watching, and the practitioners jumped in a hurry, looking for me three times a day.I no longer dared to go back to work in the customs office, the trouble caused me a headache. "

Naoe Ketsuna threw the reins and the horses to Hatakemoto behind him, walked in with Naoe Kanezuri, and said through gritted teeth.

"They know they are afraid now?

Ben Zhuang is really a fool, guarding the rear, and let these bastards mess around!

Yang Beizhong has fifty guan, Daxiong Chaoxiu has one hundred guan, do they have any brains!

Now the opponent's revenge is coming, you know you are afraid?Why did you go early! "

Naoe Kanesuke nodded and had nothing to say.

Naoe Jinggang and Daxiong Chaoxiu are both big bosses, and it is impossible to keep staring at Naoejin on weekdays.

The Hokuriku Road business routes of the Uesugi Shiba two families are docked, and the specific affairs are supervised and coordinated by the adjutants of both parties, that is, Naoe Kanetsugu and Ishida Mitsunari are in charge.

The two companies intend to cooperate in the development of the Kanto Plain, so naturally they will not cheat people on business profits. The two people's errands are nothing more than daily reconciliation.

The distribution of goods arriving at the port, the specific finalization of the high [-]% receiving price and the low [-]% selling price are trivial matters.

Naoetsu's business is on the rise, making money every day.Anyway, the money is getting more and more, and everyone gets a share, regardless of whether they compete or grab it.

But just a few days ago, Ishida Mitsunari suddenly turned his face and stopped all operations related to the linen market.

The port was locked, the purchase of green linen and cloth was stopped, and the selling price of the linen of the Shiba family unilaterally returned to the original price.After this combination of punches, Naoe Kanetsugu was caught off guard.

Not to mention the cold winter, many people are waiting to buy linen and go back to make clothes to keep warm.Just stopping the purchase of green hemp and cloth is enough for everyone to call for help.

Because the Shiba family is more convenient and more profitable Hokuriku shipping, Echigo's original logistics method for exporting to Kyoto has been abandoned.

The sudden move of the Shiba family frightened the Uesugi family.

The grain produced by the land is enough to eat, but there are no economic crops to make money. Do families exchange grain for salt, ironware, and military supplies?

Too bad!
Although the samurai do not have the economic concept of budget, they still have the simple value of living within their means.

The green hemp cloth has been included in the income of the family, and suddenly there is no way out, and if there is no money in exchange, how can it not be messed up.

Naoe Ketsuna followed Uesugi Terutora to fight on Kawanaka Island, and the basic situation of Joetsu was guarded and guarded by Honjo Mino.

When Naoe Jinggang returned to Echigo and checked the tax situation, he had already secretly thought that it was not good.

I don't know if it's because Uesugi's followers didn't turn their heads, or the big bosses of the retainers behind him are too greedy.They are still the same as before, the peripheral samurai who are under the pressure.

The Nagao family in Fuchu was above the Etsuda Plain, and Echigo suppressed the entire country, and military expenditures have always been high.

The Kakizaki Keke family, Saito Chaonobu and other direct ministers are close to the banner, Naoe Keitsuna, Mori Keihiro and other family members of the generation, and they all maintain a huge army.

These armies can't afford to rely only on the income from Takata Plain.Uesugi's adherents have always subsidized each family with the income of the master's family. This is the master's military support strategy.

Now Uesugi Terutora's strategic shift has changed from suppressing the interior to attacking the Kanto Plain, and buying a large amount of profits to buy Chuxiayue peripheral samurai.

But Uesugi's followers don't know whether it's because they are out of their minds, or if the bosses behind him do it on purpose.They are still oppressing the outlying samurai families in Zhongxiayue through taxation.

Kawanakajima Plain is in a hurry, Uesugi Terotora and Shiba Yoshigin are eager to fight, and they have no time to monitor the flow of tax burdens in the country.

As a result, when the two lords came back, Uesugi's followers had already finished their work.When the various armies returned to the territory, the peripheral warriors found themselves cheated, and this matter became a bad debt.

Naoe Jinggang found something was wrong and was about to reorganize, but who knew that Daxiong Chaoxiu's revenge would come even faster.

Da Xiong Chaoxiu has always been cautious and will not act without authorization.Ishida Mitsunari was Shiba's retainer in recent days, and he wouldn't fool around with her.

The Shiba family's attitude is so firm, and the blow is so harsh, there must be Shiba Yoshigin's intentions behind him.

Naoe Ketsuna thought of this, his scalp went numb.

Who is Shiba Yoshigin!A strange man in the world, a hero of the samurai family who revived the Shiba family one by one.

The big man got angry, and it was no longer possible for Naoe Ketsuna to calm down the situation in a low-key manner.

Now, she can only endure the nausea and help Uesugi to wipe his ass, so as not to let the matter continue to deteriorate.
