different warring states of japan

Chapter 967 You can only do this

Shiba Yoshigin said that he was well-founded, and gave Saito Asanobu a step to step down.Saito Asanobu kowtowed to the ground in gratitude, Uesugi Terutora's complexion also looked the most beautiful.

He took advantage of the situation and asked Daxiong Chaoxiu.

"Now that the autumn harvest is halfway through, the ashigaru farmers and soldiers in various places should gradually have spare manpower. Are you ready to transport these grains to the front?"

Daxiong Chaoxiu looked at Naoe Ketsuna, Naoe Ketsuna came out and bowed, and said.

"The transportation of military rations and armaments has never stopped, and it has been transferred to the front since the summer harvest. It's just that it is difficult to travel in the mountains behind. Although there are valleys and streams, it is easier to walk, but it is far less than the plains.

Fortunately, Numata City is constantly mobilizing local farmers and soldiers to assist and start responding.As long as the transportation continues, there should be no problems with the army's logistics. "

Yoshihiro Shiba nodded.

Eighty thousand shi of grain seems to be a lot, enough to feed [-] people for a month.Echigo attacked [-] soldiers, theoretically enough to last until next year.

But in fact, it is still very stiff.

During the war, the daily supply of food was at least double that of the daily, otherwise it would not be able to keep up with the physical exertion of the soldiers.Moreover, there was also food loss on the way from Zhijiangjin to the Kanto Plain.

According to the simple military concept of the samurai family, it is the best way to get food at the place of combat, without having to worry about purchasing food and transporting it.

Although there is a severe drought in the Kanto Plain, Echigo's army is not local, so it is good to steal the food, so why bother so much?

The Kanto Plain is so big, are you afraid that you won't be able to grab the rations for [-] people?Maybe if you grab too much, you can still move forward.

Their thoughts were forcibly suppressed by Yoshihiro Shibo, and it became the current plan to buy grain.Since he is not allowed, he must ensure that there is no shortage of military supplies, otherwise his prestige will be damaged.

This matter is difficult to do, but fortunately there is Uesugi Terutora's support, and Naoe Ketsuna also assists with heart, so there are no mistakes for the time being.

On Shiba Yoshiyin's side, the execution office of the Kanto Office firmly supported the grain purchase plan.

At the beginning, in order to add bricks and tiles to the grain purchase plan, Zhu Ji came up with different schemes.They have made this plan into a series of internal governance policy combinations such as water conservancy construction, relief for victims, and local inspection and jurisdiction.

Now the amount of food is far more than imagined, so they can mobilize more resources, and the results will be more beautiful.

Daxiong Chaoxiu glanced at Chang'an, which was behind him, especially the plan proposed by Jiji to help and seize the land, which was the hope of the Guandong Servant to control the grassroots.

she said with a bow.

"Your Highness, although the disaster in Echigo this year is not as severe as in the Kanto Plain, it has also lost [-]% of the harvest, and all the places are miserable.

This time the food purchase is far more than expected, can some of it be allocated to relieve the famine caused by the disaster in various places. "

Shiba Yoshiyin glanced at Dazang Chang'an behind Daxiong Chaoxiu, knowing that they would bring this up sooner or later.

Previously, Dazang Chang'an calculated that about [-] stones were needed for relief, in exchange for the martial arts inside the Guandong Servant to take the initiative to seize the territory and be willing to be restrained.Now that the food is in place, they formally apply.

Uesugi Terutoro was already prepared.

At the beginning, the plan to buy grain was passed, and it was also because of the policy of buying grain for relief that it shook the lower-level warrior Ji of Uesugi’s family.

No matter how the upper layer divides the benefits, the bottom layer will not get much.But when something harmful happens, it is often the bottom ones who are the first to be unlucky.

The grain purchase plan is willing to take part of the grain to help the bottom, is there such a good thing?Of course we should support it!
What was promised at the beginning is now about to be fulfilled.Otherwise, would low-level Ji warriors dare to trust high-level warriors in the future?

Uesugi Terutora nodded.

"How much are you going to give out for relief?"

Daxiong Chaoxiu said.

"Among the purchased grain, [-] shi of rice was removed, about [-] shi of soybeans for war horses, and about [-] shi of miscellaneous grains such as wheat and millet.

This Wanshi miscellaneous grain is not suitable for military rations. Can it be used for domestic relief in Echigo and distributed to various places to survive the disaster year. "

Uesugi Terutora frowned slightly, and repeated.

"Ten thousand stones?"

She felt that it was too much, and ten thousand stones of miscellaneous grains could indeed stabilize people's hearts.But if one-eighth of the military food reserves are taken away, will it affect the front-line military supplies?

Seeing Uesugi Terutora hesitating and Shiba Yoshigin watching silently, Okuma Asohide felt a little anxious.

Those people in the Enforcement Office had already made a plan and waited for the relief food to be available, and went back to coax the local Wujiajian to exchange relief, completely reduced to the lackeys of the Kanto Office.

If the plan got stuck here, their previous preparations would have been in vain.

Daxiong Chaoxiu turned his head to look at the other Naoe Ketsuna, to see what she had to say.

Naoe Jinggang is actually not very supportive of relief, the army is out, of course the more military rations the better.Miscellaneous grains are inconvenient to be used as military rations. You can eat them on the road first, and then eat rice when the war starts.

But she couldn't say that, the eyes behind her were all staring at her.The relief food is not taken by the Kanto servants, but also by Uesugi's retainers.

Regardless of whether these people take it back for their own storage, or if they really help the people, no one is willing to let the cooked duck fly away.

If Naoe Ketsuna gets stuck here, Okuma Chaoxiu will have a hard time going back.She is the chief elder of Uesugi's vassals, and also the chief backer, so she has to be careful in what she says and does.

After thinking about it, she decided to pretend she didn't see it, and lowered her head to act stupid.

The Wu family didn't have the habit of helping the victims of disasters. If they starved to death, they would starve to death. At worst, they would get a batch back when they went out to fight.

There are many two-legged animals, so why waste precious food.Even human trafficking is not uncommon.

When Takeda Harunobu captured Yantian City, in order to cut off the foundation of the Murakami family, he captured all the people in the surrounding tens of miles back to Kai and sold them. Even Tianhai, a passing nun, couldn't stand it.

Shiba Yoshiyin's relief strategy is estimated to be implemented only by people like the Executive Office, and it is also to fully grasp the grassroots resources of the Kanto Service Office and grasp the local servants on these lands.

But when these grassroots Ji warriors get the food, will they care about the life and death of the people on the land?Most of them won't care.

The idea of ​​the Uesugi vassal group is simpler, food is a good thing, let's talk about it when we get it.Relief food or military food?No matter what kind of food it is, it is my food in my hands.

Shiba Yoshihiro watched them perform individually, feeling sad in his heart.

It's just that he has done what he can do to the extreme, and he has a little bit of food relief.He can only pretend that he doesn't know what he can't see next.

Seeing that Zhu Ji didn't speak, Shiba Yoshigin had no choice but to come forward and say.

"Three years of prosperity, three years of disasters. This disaster will not be slowed down for two or three years, and it is not easy for local servants everywhere.

Since the grain harvest exceeds expectations, let's distribute more, and [-] shi of miscellaneous grains will be used as relief grain.

Your Highness Uesugi, what do you think? "

Terutora Uesugi was still a little bit pained, food in a disaster year was more expensive than gold.Miscellaneous grains are also grains and are equally precious.

But she looked up and saw the sad look in Yiyin's eyes, she still sighed and said.

"Just listen to the imperial platform, and treat it as relief food."
