Chapter 1938 Returning to Japan ([-]) Being a Parent
Kai Ji said: "If we let them go back, we will take the opposite trend. Once these western daimyos and Toyotomi's direct descendants return to Japan, the forces of the Eastern and Western kingdoms will be roughly similar, and the Toyotomi clan also has a backbone army. Presenting a tripartite trend.

But the concubine thought that it was a tripod, but it was not.The reason why the Taige was able to dominate the world in the past was not because of its vast territory, but because of its financial strength..."

At this time, Gao Wushi suddenly interjected: "I only know a general idea about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's territory. Since you were raised by the Narita family as a Ji warrior, you should know more about it. Why don't you tell me about it?" .”

In fact, Jinghua has already established an intelligence system in Japan. It is not difficult to find out such information, but their tasks are more focused on the current situation, and they do not pay much attention to the changes in the past, so Gao Yushi said that he only has a general idea.

Jia Feiji didn't have any special reaction, Gao Wushi asked her to talk, and she explained honestly: "Yes, sir. Regarding the territory of the Taiko, I think that I should not only look at the Taiko himself, but from the entire Toyotomi clan. Come and see."

Gao Wushi gave a "hmm" and signaled her to continue.

Kai Ji continued: "Taiko... Oh, the change of Hideyoshi's territory is roughly like this: in the first year of Tensho, he was granted the title of 12 shi from Omi Nagahama, the old leader of Asai; Qianshi: During the Qingzhou Conference in the tenth year of Tianzheng, most of the old Oda territories in Harima, Tanba, Settsu, Tajima, Inaba, Hoki, Awaji and other countries were allocated to about 35 million to 160 million shi. Its direct jurisdiction The territory is roughly the eastern part of Harima, Tanba Ikkuni, and part of Settsu, about 170 koku.

After that, from Ikeda Gakixing's transfer to Mino Ogaki until his death, Hideyoshi's territory directly under his jurisdiction was 56 stones in Settsu and Hanoi.In addition, there are about 160 million stones hidden in Taige.

The Toyotomi family's possession area was drawn from the territory of the daimyo who surrendered to the Toyotomi family in the name of consecration to the lord, and most of the possession areas were managed by nearby daimyos.For example, Otani Yoshitsugu, who owns a territory of 10,000 shi, is responsible for managing tens of thousands of shi hidden in the land, and actually controls a territory of about [-]+ shi.

Therefore, if calculated according to this, Hideyoshi's skill is about 60 stones, and 160 million stones are hidden in the ground, a total of about 220 million stones.

Let's talk about the change of Toyotomi Hidecho's territory: in the fifth year of Tianzheng, the pacification of Danzhou was completed, and Danma Zhuye was awarded 11 stones, officially becoming a daimyo.In the 15th year of Tianzheng, it was entrusted with Tajima One Country, Harima Two Counties, and [-] shi of Harima Himeji.

In the 13th year of Tianzheng, Ji Yigen came to the temple to settle down, and obtained 36 stones from the two countries of Izumi and Jiyi.In the same year, after the pacification of Shikoku, 44 koku were added to Yamato Ichigoku, making a total of 91 koku.From then until his death, he was inherited by Toyotomi Hideho.

Let's talk about Toyotomi Hideji: In the tenth year of Tianzheng, 13 stones were granted to Beishan in Hanoi.In the 43th year of Tianzheng, 18 stones were granted to Omi Hachiman Mountain.In the 47th year of Tianzheng, 90 shi were added to the five counties of Dongweizhang and the four counties of North Ise, totaling [-] shi.

However, after his death in the 14th year of Wenlu, the territory was collected as Toyotomi Tibetan Land—oh, just now, the concubine said that Hideyoshi Tibetan Land has 160 million shi, which already includes Hideji’s 90 shi.

Finally, there is the current Toyotomi Hideyori. He should inherit about 58 koku from Hanoi and Settsu directly controlled by his father and 160 million koku from Tibet.In this case, the current territory of the direct line of the Toyotomi family is 220 million shi.As for the 91 stones in Xiubao's hands, it stands to reason that Xiuyao cannot use them. "

With Jia Feiji saying this, Gao Yushi was able to combine the current situation with what he learned in the original history.

He used to wonder about one thing, that is, later generations recorded that Hideyoshi had a territory of 220 million koku when he was alive, but after the Battle of Sekigahara, Hideyoshi inexplicably had less than 60 koku left. The rural account (that is, the land of Tokugawa's family health inspection) has only actually increased to 65 shi-so where does the rest of the territory go?
The battle of Sekigahara was strange to some extent. Both the Eastern and Western families used force in the name of respecting the Toyotomi family, but the Toyotomi family did not participate in the war, and they became neutral outside the situation.But no matter how strange the performance of Toyotomi's main family was, Hideyori was still the nominal lord at the end of the Sekigahara War, and it was impossible to cut off the direct leader of Toyotomi's main family with Ieyasu's conduct.

Because of this, Gao Wushi had been wondering how the remaining 160 million shi territory disappeared, and now it makes sense: the 160 million shi was never directly owned by the Toyotomi family, but was hidden in land.Since the hidden lands were offered by the subordinate daimyos to the lord "for the public", of course they don't need to be for the public, so so many territories were reshuffled by Ieyasu.

Of course, to a large extent, the disappearance of the Tibetan land also means that no one "serves the public", that is, the daimyo no longer regard Hideyori as the lord.It can be said that when these hidden places were redistributed by Ieyasu, Hideyori was no longer a person in the world—whether in name or in reality.

Finally, I would like to add that Tokugawa Ieyasu, as the elder of the Toyotomi family (the head of the five elders), handled Tibet in the name of rewarding meritorious officials. Therefore, Hideyori who has not yet "pro-government" has nothing to do. Toyotomi The family can only watch helplessly but cannot resist.

Hey, wait... Xiuchang's territory was inherited by Xiubao, this is a fact, but Xiubao died two or three years ago!He is extinct, so where did the more than 90 stone territory under his name go?

Gao Wushi hurriedly asked another question, and Jia Feiji said: "This concubine was just going to talk about it... On the whole, these territories were divided up after Xiubao's death, but the process is more complicated and there are still a lot of gossip. .

Among them, the most notable ones were the acquisition of 20 koku of Yamato-gun mountain castle by Masuda Nagamori, and the 19 koku of Sawayama castle by Ishida Mitsunari. In addition, many minor daimyo fiefs have undergone slight changes... By the way, Ieyasu also shared a large piece. "

So it makes sense... I said that when I was playing games back then, when I got to the script of the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu still had such a large area in Kinki, so it turned out that he came here.

To say that Xiuchang is unlucky enough, Xiubao was originally an adopted son, but he died young at the age of 17, and he lost his uncle and adoptive father's territory of nearly a million stones, otherwise the Toyotomi family might have a comeback capital.

But... Gao Yushi just sighed casually, the bad luck of Toyotomi's family has nothing to do with him!As far as Hideyoshi's ambition is concerned, Gao Yushi thinks that even if the Toyotomi family is a bit unlucky, it is not an exaggeration.

What's more, Jia Feiji didn't make it clear just now.After Hideho's death, the division of the territory of nearly a million stones left by Hideunaga seems to be a mess. At least judging from the games made by the Japanese themselves in later generations, Ieyasu obtained at least the entire Kii and Yamato countries in it.

However, the question is whether this division was assigned to Ieyasu in name, or did Ieyasu just actually control the two countries?You know, these two countries are not small countries. Jiyi has 24.4 shi, and Yamato has 44.9 shi. The combined territory is almost 70 shi, accounting for more than half of the territory of Xiuchang and Xiubao.

But now there is still a problem. Kai Ji also said that the 20 koku of Yamato-gun Mountain Castle was obtained by Masuda Nagamori, and the 19 koku of Sawayama Castle was obtained by Ishida Mitsunari.Just like this, this account is not right... It seems that it should really be arguing at the moment, but it has not been clearly divided.

Forget it, don't think about these things for now, anyway, as long as the general situation is clearly grasped, these small problems will not be a problem at that time.Gao Wushi then waved his hand, motioning for Jia Feiji to continue the previous topic.

At this moment, Jiafei Ji almost forgot what she said before, and after thinking about it, she continued: "I just said that... Hideyoshi has strong financial resources, and this is mainly due to the fact that he inherited Nobunaga's practice in the past.

The Oda family puts the most emphasis on commerce, and implements the separation of soldiers and peasants from the market and music seats, so that they can rise rapidly from a corner of Owari, fight south and north, and never be short of military pay... This is actually the same as that of Jinghua in southern Xinjiang. The local kingdoms are quite similar.

Since then, Hideyoshi has also continued Nobunaga’s practice. He does not pay special attention to the nominal size of the territory and the food production of the territory, but to the impregnable cities—such as Osaka, and the gold and silver mines directly under the control of the Toyotomi family. There are also various castle towns controlled by the Toyotomi family. "

Gao Wushi smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, if income from gold and silver mines, commercial and trade taxes and other income are included, the actual income of the territory directly under the Toyotomi family may be several times higher than that of the Tokugawa family. The actual income of the Toyotomi family's daimyo. This strong economic strength is enough to make Tokugawa Ieyasu submit to the Toyotomi family."

Jia Feiji said: "Master is wise. In the past, I didn't know how to look at problems from such a perspective. I didn't have this insight until I served the master."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "The world's major events are complicated and naturally complicated, but they are simple but simple. In the final analysis, there are three things, and the three things are all related to money."

Jia Feiji asked in surprise: "Is that so?" It was obvious that she was very curious about these three things, but because Gao Wushi said "big things in the world", she didn't dare to ask rashly.

Gao Wushi knew why she was so cautious, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he said casually, "Yes, there are only three things: where the money comes from, where it is spent, and who is in charge of it."

In fact, these three things mentioned by Gao Yushi are the basic views of political economy in later generations, and there is nothing surprising about them.It's just that this kind of view is a bit shocking for the current era. Fortunately, Kai Jiji is Japanese, not from the Ming Dynasty, which is more strict in etiquette, but she accepts it a little faster.

"Where does the money come from, where does it go, who is in charge of the money..." Jia Feiji suddenly realized, thought for a while and said, "If you say that, it's no wonder that Hideyoshi can become a man of the world. To have such prestige, I understand!"

Where does the money come from?Now the biggest source of cash flow for the Ming court is no longer the agricultural tax, but has gradually shifted to the commercial tax.Of course, including Jinghua's mines in various places, they are now also included in the category of commercial taxation.And who developed the biggest cash source?Of course it is highly pragmatic.

Where are the flowers going?This is very complicated, but after all, this era is no better than later generations. Generally speaking, it is mainly spent on military expenditures, government officials, imperial examinations, water control, etc., which can be generally regarded as "maintaining rule".As for Gao Pragmatism's plans to make some improvements in the future, that's all for later.

Who manages the money?This question belongs to the question of sending points.Ever since Gao Pragmatically completed the reform of the large household department, the responsibility for managing money has basically been on the shoulders of Gao Nanning, who has always been the secretary of the household department.Of course, the internal funds also manage money, but just like the improvement of the financial system of the Ming Dynasty, although the current internal funds are not as poor as in the past, they are not the same when compared with the Ministry of Households.

It can be said that [-]% of the financial power in the world today is in the hands of Gao Pragmatism.

Gao Wushi has a good understanding of the current financial situation of various forces in Japan, so he doesn't intend to say more, and signals Kai Feiji to continue.

Jia Feiji said: "Then as long as the direct descendants of the Toyotomi family can return to the homeland, and no one dares to break the Toyotomi public order, the Toyotomi family's financial resources will still be strong. In this case, although the Toyotomi family's force is relatively In fact, it has dropped a lot before, but as long as it is managed properly, it is not difficult to replenish these forces.

However, there is a problem here. As I have reported before, Sancheng's hostility towards Ieyasu cannot be concealed at all. Once he thinks that the strength he can arouse is enough to overwhelm Ieyasu, I think he will definitely jump out and make trouble.

Since Mitsunomon himself is the actual leader of the Five Obligations, he also controls the nominal center of the Toyotomi family, so he and Ieyasu will actually have a certain degree of legitimacy at that time—both parties can come under the banner of Toyotomi. do something.

As long as Ieyasu can't find a way to suppress Sancheng, sooner or later a fierce conflict will break out between the two.In this case, since most of the Dongguo daimyos were favored by Ieyasu in the Hideji murder incident, Ieyasu is likely to use Dongguo's strength to fight against Sancheng.

If at this time, Sancheng can find a way to squeeze the daimyo of Xiguo and make the main daimyo of Xiguo stand on his side, then the two sides will definitely break out of war!If the master wants to let them fight with each other, then it is not a bad idea to let these Japanese soldiers go back. "

"You are cautious and call both of these approaches feasible, but I think you must have guessed something, right?" Gao Wushi smiled.

Jia Feiji leaned over and said: "Master was joking, how dare I speculate on such a thing. In fact, I also know that no matter whether I let go of the Japanese army in North Korea or not, it must be played in Japan.

That being the case, from the concubine's point of view, whether to let go or not is really not very important.Let them go back, and after the Japanese civil war is exhausted, the master will definitely take action to clean up the situation; if they are not allowed to go back, Tokugawa Ieyasu will adopt the son as an adopted son, and after the establishment of the shogunate, the son will inherit it. The master only needs to prevent Ieyasu from making any small moves . "

"There is still a big difference between the two, you should be able to see it." Gao Wushi shook his head slightly.

"Yes. The former requires the master to mobilize troops, but as long as the troops are sent to wipe out the remaining forces of each family, the future rule will be relatively easy; the latter may rely on the general situation to force Ieyasu to be used by the master, but in this case, the original strength of each daimyo Still, Yan'er may face some troubles in the future, so it's a bit of a worry to worry about, so I don't need to work hard, but to work hard."

Gao Wushi nodded and said, "So you still hope that Yan'er can relax in the future, don't you?"

"This... is, please forgive me for my selfishness." Jia Fei Ji leaned over again and said.

"You are his mother, there is nothing wrong with thinking like this." Gao Yushi nodded and said, "Similarly, I am his father, so I am naturally willing to pave a more open path for him."

Jia Feiji felt relieved, but unexpectedly, Gao Yushi said again: "However, there is no need to wipe out all the Japanese troops in the dynasty. The status of Ieyasu's adopted son will be useful for the future... It's just that Ieyasu is lucky now, but I We have to pour a basin of cold water on him to wake him up."
