different warring states of japan

Chapter 676 Yiyin scalp numb

Naoe Ketsuna sighed, and explained to Daxiong Chaoxiu and the two lords above.

"Echigo's land and climate are very suitable for planting green hemp. Before the lord allows the cultivation of Nakashikoe hemp, only the territory of the Uesugi family can participate in it.

Echigo can be regarded as a piece of fertile land, but the income from the land is also more food.

If you want to live a decent life, you need to grow some other cash crops.It is nothing more than planting beans and hemp in exchange for daily necessities such as salt.

The yield of bean seeds is far lower than that of rice, and bean feed is the military supplies for war horses, and most of them are forced to grow at the request of samurai.The purchase price is low, and you can't make money if you plant it.

However, green hemp is different. It is planted in spring and harvested in autumn. After harvesting, it is spread in the ground for retting, which takes about [-] days.

At this time, it is almost the end of autumn. With the fall and winter slack, everyone will knead hemp and weave at home.

Zhong Xiayue got the planting rights of green hemp, but it was too late to catch up with the solar terms, so he won't be able to plant much this year.The green hemp cloth on the market is still a specialty of the Uesugi family.

Green linen upper cloth is hard currency and can be used as copper coins.Not only the foolish women in the village are reluctant to wear them, but also the Ji warriors of the middle and lower classes. They can be sold in exchange for inferior hemp, salt and other daily necessities.

The planting and weaving of green hemp are almost the only additional income for the middle and lower classes of the family.For so many years, everyone is used to counting it into the annual income.

Now it is the end of autumn and early winter, each family is kneading linen and weaving cloth, preparing to exchange for winter supplies.

Once the linen market is cut off, the green linen cloth cannot be sold or exchanged for things, and the family livelihood of the lower class Ji warriors will soon be in trouble.

You can't use the green hemp cloth to exchange for salt, inferior cloth, can you use the food stored at home?
The bottom is poor, and the food stored is stuck in a few mouths at home to eat, which is considered good food.If you sell the stored grain, you can't eat the seed grain planted in the spring next year, right?

In the eyes of the two lords, a few feet of green linen cloth may be a trivial matter of a few pennies.But in the eyes of the lower-level servants and village women, it is the lifeblood of staying through the winter.

Since the opening of the convenient Hokuriku Expressway, the caravan that Echigo organized to sell cloth has disappeared, and no one will buy green hemp cloth.

If the hempcloth market in Naoejin is closed for another ten days, and the middle and lower classes are depressed and desperate, they will give up this income and find another way. "

Speaking of this, Naoe Ketsuna stopped and swallowed.

Daxiong Chaoxiu's face turned blue, she never thought it would be so serious.

Shiba Yoshigin glanced at Uesugi Terutora beside him, no wonder she hurriedly brought Naoe Ketsuna over.

Uesugi Terutora's rough behavior is just out of trouble, she is not stupid.The linen market has too much to do with it, and once one understands how powerful it is, anyone will be scratching their heads.

Although Naoe Ketsuna didn't continue, the subtext was already clear.

Once the linen market is closed and the green linen cloth cannot be sold, the middle and lower classes will choose other ways to exchange other things for the necessities of life in winter.

There is not much real hard currency, and most of the poor middle and lower classes can produce food.

No food is unstable. Once there is no food or clothing in the coming year, the lower classes of the Uesugi family will definitely hate the Shiba family who closed the burlap market.

In order not to be controlled by others, they will definitely reorganize the time-consuming, labor-intensive and low-earning caravan, and go to Los Angeles by themselves so as not to be stuck by the Shiba family.

With reduced income and lack of rations, the cooperation between Uesugi Shiba and the two will inevitably be affected.The hatred of the Shiba family from the middle and lower classes of the Uesugi family is more difficult to deal with than the greed of the high-level samurai family.

It is easy to buy a few high-level bosses, but the real big trouble is when hundreds of low-level Ji warriors hate him.

They don't care about the exchange of benefits.

I can only remember that winter, because Shiba's family closed the burlap market, they had to stay hungry for the winter, and even killed a few people in the family.

Just thinking about the consequences made Shiba Yoshihiro's scalp tingle, and Daxiong Chaoxiu accidentally poked a hornet's nest.

At this time, why do you want to punish Uesugi's retainers, what do you want to make Uesugi's family bleed, let's open the Azabu Market first!

Naoe Ketsuna observed Shiba Yoshigin's reaction, seeing his serious face, he obviously understood the seriousness.

she continued.

"Don't be impatient at the Imperial Palace, I ordered yesterday in Naoetsu to close all market transactions.

No one can do business now, even if someone wants to exchange food for necessities. "

Yiyin couldn't help admiring.

"it is good!"

Naoe Ketsuna did a great job.

Naoetsu is already the largest trading center in Echigo, and even vendors who walk through the villages buy from Naoetsu.

Regardless of whether the middle and lower classes are willing to exchange grain for daily necessities, Naoe Ketsuna has stopped all transactions in Naoejin, and no one can do business for the time being.

The bottom layer wants to exchange food for supplies impulsively, but there is no way to change it, so they can only stop and wait.

Yoshihiko Shiba sighed.

"Master Naoe, you have done nothing wrong with this incident. His Highness Uesugi is lucky to have you as his assistant."

Yiyin's unintentional words made Da Xiong Chaoxiu's face burn.

Although the idea was conceived by her subordinates, it was a big mistake for her not to notice the problem.

If it weren't for Naoe Ketsuna's quick response, the subsequent bad influence this time might really cause the cooperation between the two companies to collapse.

But this is not to blame Daxiong Chaoxiu.

She was a peripheral samurai who was bullied in Uesugi's house before, and she had no access to the benefits of green hemp at all, so she naturally didn't know the powerful relationship among them.

But things have been like this, Daxiong Chaoxiu accidentally tricked Shiba Yoshiyin a big one this time.

Naoe Jinggang was so panicked before, and he was punishing the disciples, trying to make money by selling iron, and coming to kowtow to apologize and let the punishment go.

This gesture was too much, but kicked the ball to Yoshihiro Shiba, which made him embarrassed.

Punishment is definitely not enough.Now the situation is almost out of control, if it continues, something serious will happen.

If you don't want to punish him, Yoshihiro Shiba can only come out to help and settle the matter.Therefore, he still has to pay, and he is still the one to take advantage of it.

Naoe Keizuna looked loyal to the emperor, and for the sake of the overall situation, he did not hesitate to tear his face and force Uesugi to practice public bleeding.

Her desperate posture was to wait for Da Xiong Chaoxiu behind her to come up and hold her back, so as not to completely ruin the situation.

Daxiong Chaoxiu suffered a terrible loss, and I have to thank Naoe Jinggang for saving the overall situation.He stepped forward and grabbed her and said, big sister, forget it, I will pay the money.

Shiba Yoshiyin just felt palpitations, but Okuma Chaoxiu felt sick to his stomach.

Naoe Ketsuna's demeanor is loyal, but deep down he has a dark belly.

The ball was kicked to Yoshihiro Shiba, can Daxiong Chaoxiu not share the worries of the lord?She poked out this hornet's nest!

Shiba Yoshiyin and Uesugi Terotora have nothing to say, and this time the second public's tax rebate is another mess.Neither is it to be hated, nor is it to be punished.

Move the whole body with one hair.

Naoe Jingzuna passed the customs safely, and the interests of the Uesugi family will not be affected too much.

Delicate in all aspects, the end is powerful.
