The outer circle observes and the inner circle selects to form a benign mechanism to cultivate reliable talents who are loyal to the Central Committee of SPO, and finally decentralize the SPO leadership to check and balance local forces.

Yiyin has been sold repeatedly for three or four years in these troubled times, and it finally gained some experience.

Through the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest, the Sibo Zhong Foundation, and the Wu Family Principles Promotion Association, they use blood ties, interests, and righteousness to bind the internal, middle, and outer Wu family groups from relatives to strangers, and promote a new path for the rejuvenation of the Wu family.

The Sibo family then built the Tongxinzhong into a central authority to form a positive interaction and dynamic balance with the local forces in the Sibo territory.

In the end, a new type of samurai interest group will be built with Shiba Yiyin as the core, bloodline occupying various places, central leadership of local areas, grassroots warriors sharing benefits, and having a righteous name to the outside world.

Yiyin thought for a long time and took a deep breath. If the Shiba family can really be like this, he can relax a little and won't be tricked everywhere anymore, right?

He said to Kamao clan.

"It's almost time. Bring Naoe Keetsuna and Naoe Kanetsugu to the tea room. They should be waiting in a hurry."

"Hi!"

————

In the tea room, Yiyin watched the tea masters perform with relish.

In fact, he doesn't understand this so-called elegant art at all, but this tea man is quite handsome, and he tries his best to show off his coquettishness, and the visual effect is good.

Naoe's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were anxious and impatient but had to patiently accompany him to watch the tea, finally waited until the tea master presented the tea soup and bowed to leave.

Yiyin picked up the cup of tea and said slowly.

"Naoejin seems to be getting more and more prosperous, and the level of these tea people is almost catching up with the cultural people in Kyoto."

Naoe Keizuna complimented.

"This is all because Tsutado-den opened up the Hokurikudo trade route, benefiting all people and making immeasurable merit.

There has been a lot of construction in Naoetsu in the past two years, and it has also attracted many cultural people to live in the port town. It is indeed becoming more and more lively."

Yiyin smiled.

"The Hokuriku Road Trade Road was built by everyone's concerted efforts, and I just used my words.

The merchants along the way were willing to give me a little bit of help, and with the help of a man as talented and virtuous as Mr. Naoe Keizuna, the prosperity of the Hokuriku Road trade route was made possible.

This time I came from Sakai Port, and I saw prosperous trading towns along the way, and cargo ships swarmed in droves, making great progress with each passing day.

Takada Yono said that the number of caravans participating in the Hokuriku Road this year is more than the previous two years combined. Seeing the multi-million-scale market taking shape, both Shiba and Uesugi have benefited a lot."

Even though Naoe Keizuna was extremely anxious, he was moved by the scene described by Yoshigami and couldn't help but nodded.

"Yes, the income from the Hokurikudo trade route has exceeded the land income of Echigo country.

If we continue to operate well for a few more years, even if we include gold, silver, sesame, salt and other resources in Echigo, it will not be as profitable as Hokurikudo's business profits."

Yiyin sighed.

"Yes, this is the result of the hard work of the Shiba Uesugi family. We must work together to protect and cherish this hard-won good life.

Mr. Naojiang, tell me, is this true?"

Naoe Keetsuna was defeated by Yoshigan with his backhand, leaving him speechless.

As the direct handler of the Hokurikudo trade route, the Naoe family has made a lot of money in the past two years. Moreover, because of its control over the Uesugi Bodhisattva and the Naoe Jinguan Office, it is valued by the Uesugi retainers.

With all the dignity and respect, power and status greatly increased, who wouldn’t cherish such a good life?

However, Terutora Uesugi, the master, acted arbitrarily and did not listen to advice at all.

She single-handedly messed up the Kanto strategy, and dissent ran rampant within the Kanto service. Shiba Yiyin rushed back at this time, and all fools knew that he was here to investigate.

Yoshihiro Saba returned to Kogo last winter, and within half a year he overthrew the Rokkaku and Miyoshi families, raised a new Ashikaga shogun in Kyoto, and restored the operation of the shogunate.

The people in Kanto don't know how powerful Oda Nobunaga is, and most people give the credit for the re-establishment of the shogunate to Yoshihiro Shiba.

Coupled with the white flag of Hachiman Tainiang in his hand, it further deified his personal image of being invincible, benevolent, righteous and courteous.

Facing Yoshigan Shiba, who was revered as a god by the Kanto samurai, even if he just complained politely to Naoe Keetsuna, it made Naoe Keetsuna feel even more pressured.
