Yiyin has seen through the character of the Wu family. The so-called loyalty is a transaction. The master family gives benefits, Warrior Ji sacrifices his life, and both sides get what they need.
The Wu family attaches great importance to etiquette, which may appear to be of high quality and with many restraints, but in fact, they are unjust and unfaithful, and have no regard for moral integrity.
But everything in this world is originally a game of siding with interests. You must have a clear understanding of who you are and where you stand.
Therefore, if you fight hard, you will be successful as soon as you grasp it.
These locals will shed tears of gratitude to Yiyin because their life is very difficult, and the Wu family's exploitation of the local areas is to knock the bones and suck out the marrow.
Japan's loose manor economic system became more centralized after the Yatsushiro Rebellion, and local daimyo began to use various methods to annex land.
Although the Japanese plains were divided into fragments by mountains and local consciousness was strong and difficult to concentrate, the samurai daimyo still made some progress through violent suppression.
From an economic point of view, the daimyo began to implement the Guangao system and gradually moved towards the Shigao system. They used various methods to squeeze out the remaining energy in the land and improve their own strength.
The Guan Gao system could also be lazy and convert land income into copper coins to require local military families to bear the corresponding military and food services.
Currency embodies value by anchoring materials. Japan's copper coins are uneven, including the Ming Dynasty's Yongle Tongbao, homemade fine money and bad money. It is difficult to reach an agreement under the high-level system.
Therefore, the Shigao system emerged that exploited local areas even more harshly.
The Shigao system uses the grain produced by the land of local warriors as a reference to require local warriors to bear the corresponding military food service.
What followed was the daimyo's land inspection policy. Once the land was inspected, the amount of cultivated land in the local area could not be hidden, and the output became clear.
The result is even more severe oppression, which makes the grassroots villages suffocated. Even the local martial arts family in the village is living in misery.
Because the feudal lords of the Wu family have always exploited the land, these landowners were very confused about the annuity issued by Yiyin's Sibo Zhong Fund.
The samurai daimyo entrusted land to local samurai families, and the local samurai families were responsible for military and food services. This was an exchange of rights and obligations that both parties considered to be a natural and natural exchange.
But Yiyin's gameplay is completely different from the routine agreed by feudal monarchs and ministers. He comes from modern society, and he plays with establishment, social security, identity, and the ideology of class consensus.
Yiyin has never really controlled the land. The only remaining retainers of the Shiba family are the two Xibei sisters, the Takada sisters. Without a reliable retainer group, how can he firmly control the land?
When Akechi Mitsuhide prepared a dove to occupy the magpie's nest for him, the purpose was to digest the important ministers' family through the body and use it for the Shiba family, borrowing the shell to lay eggs.
Whether it was the land acquired by Yiyin or the money and food earned through the Hokuriku trade route, he always squandered it.
The other great names of the martial arts family wished they could concentrate all the power in their own hands and make their own family the sole leader.
Yiyin's approach is to play the role of the sword holder. After the benefits are earned, he is responsible for cutting and distributing them. His own share is dispensable.
What he relies on has always been the traditional ideology of the Wu family. He unifies his thoughts and obtains his transcendent status by maintaining the consensus of the entire class interests of the Wu family group.
He only needs to be a fair allocator and does not need to be greedy for land.
Because, according to Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy of occupying the magpie's nest, these benefits will eventually be inherited by Yoshigami's own blood descendants in the form of future generations.
From the perspective of the Ji warriors in the female world, they are the ones who have taken advantage of Yiyin. In fact, from Yiyin's own world view, this is called spreading branches. Instead of suffering losses, they are making a lot of money.
Therefore, Yi Yin's generosity is of a level that transcends eras and even the world. He can divide all the interests in his hands and bind the Spo retainers to a high degree without being psychologically affected at all.
He may not care who wants to harm his interests. The Shiba retainers will be blown up first, because their losses may be greater than Yiyin.
Spozhong Fund is another product of Yiyin’s thinking of dividing the flesh with a knife.
The strategy of "Jiu Occupying the Magpie's Nest" is the fusion of bloodlines, and the strategy of Sibo Zhong Fund is the fusion of interests. In the final analysis, they are all strategies of deep bundling.
Unlike Oda Nobunaga and other samurai daimyo’s idea of centralizing power, Yoshigan’s pursuit is always distribution rights, not control rights.
After the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the Imagawa family was attacked and destroyed by the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family, and the entire Tokaido was in chaos.
The Tokaido trade route system established by Imagawa Yoshimoto collapsed, and Sunpu Castle, the core commercial hub, was robbed by the Kai tribe and fell into disrepair.
Nowadays, the Kanto-Kansai logistics channel within the island country has been transferred to the Hokurikudo trade route and is in the hands of Shiba Yoshigan.
Shiba Yiyin united with various related companies, which amounted to a monopoly on intra-island trade in Kanto and Kansai.
The Spoelzyn Foundation is a deformed trust enterprise. The Spoels are both referees and football players. No one can compete with the Spoels in business.
The scale of commercial circulation in Kanto and Kansai is as high as millions of gold. The Shibachu Fund makes profits from it, and the profit is enough to support the annuity of a samurai warrior in a territory of one million gold.
This is an advantage that other samurai families do not have. The Shiba family can earn a large amount of materials without squeezing the land's output.
Yiyin even began to benefit the local area through business profits and won the support of local martial arts families.
After the annuity was released, the Shiba family's retainers had no power to compete with Shiba Yiyin. Because the strength of the Wu family came from the land, they had to extract the value of the land to enrich their military supplies.
Sibo Yiyin belongs to the kind of silly boss who says, "Kowtow to me, and I will give you money." In the hearts of people like Dongli, there may not be a little thought that people are stupid, and money is abundant, so they can come quickly.
But if this money and food is distributed for a few more years, and all the grassroots Ji warriors start to regard this money and food as their deserved long-term income and become dependent on it, then no one can take it away!
Welfare is easy to distribute but not easy to receive. Sponey Bank can't do it, and those who oppose Sponey Bank can't do it even more!
As long as Shiba Yiyin says something, something will affect the income of Shiba Zhong Fund and everyone's annuity. What do you think the grassroots Ji Samurai will react?
The Shiba Zhong Fund is a double-edged sword, using a welfare system that transcends time and space to tightly bind the entire Shiba Wujia Group.
But Spozhong Fund is not a panacea. It has two serious shortcomings.
First, once the Speroz family's territory expands too much, will the Sperzhong Fund have enough financial resources to cover the increase in the number of annuities?
This is the fundamental reason why Yiyin acquiesces to Akechi Mitsuhide and continues to engage in the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest.
There is no fund in the world that will rise forever. The stability of the Sibo family ultimately depends on the traditional blood heirs of the Wu family.
Secondly, can the Sibo family's annuity be enough to purchase enough food and distribute brown rice?
The market price within the island country has always been that one copper coin is equivalent to two stones of brown rice. But this price has never been accurate.
Copper coins are divided into good money and bad money, and there are bad and good grain harvests. With the money earned by the Spozhong Fund, how can we maintain a stable purchase price for a long time and buy enough grain? This is a big problem.
In the final analysis, currency is the realization of materials without a strong anchor. Fluctuating prices are enough to destroy the stable loyalty established by the Spozhong Fund.
The same copper coins can buy different amounts of grain in different years. How to make a budget?
The treasure banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty failed and gave way to silver. Finally, Zhang Juzheng reformed, and a whip law recognized the silver standard in disguise.
In exchange for Chinese silk, porcelain, and tea, Westerners continued to import silver from around the world to the Ming Dynasty, causing inflation to explode in the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the gold-silver ratio in China was 1:6, while the gold-silver ratio in Europe was 1:18.
After hundreds of years of changes.
Gu Zhen
China accounted for 70% of the world's silver, and the silver standard became the foundation of the Ming and Qing economies.
The West did not have enough silver, but owned 70% of the world's gold, and eventually established the gold standard.
In the island country, Yiyin has no ability to establish a true gold and silver standard and regulate prices. The stone-high system that is most suitable for the current situation of the island country can also be regarded as a primitive grain standard.
However, Yi Yin only had 200,000 shi of territory in his hands. He did not have enough grain to establish a grain standard, so he could only use the trust company that monopolized logistics, the Spozhong Fund, to obtain a large amount of copper coins.
Earn copper coins through the Sibo Zhong Fund, and then exchange them for grain from the samurai lords to receive annuities.
There is a huge hidden danger in this economic cycle. Yiyin cannot guarantee that copper coins can be exchanged for enough food.
However, Yiyin cannot issue money directly. A large amount of copper coins cannot be afforded by the territory of 200,000 stone. The final result will only drive up the price of food in the territory.
The low price of grain hurts the farmers. This result goes against his original intention of winning people's hearts by offering profits, and may even lead to riots.
Therefore, Sibo Zhong Fund is actually not easy to manage, and more means are needed to optimize it.
But today, seeing the local people boldly blocking the road and inviting him to be a guest for the sake of the Spozhong Fund's annuity, Yiyin felt a little relieved.
The desire for food made the locals suppress their respect for the lord, which was a good thing.
As long as Yiyin can guarantee the stability of the Shiba Zhong Fund, the people at the grassroots level of the Shiba family will completely control him.
Yiyin's depressed mood due to the incident in Kyoto suddenly felt better.
He is not a poisonous person like Mitsuhide Akechi, nor is he a murderer like Terutora Uesugi. He wants to use his own method to live with more dignity and protect the people around him that he cares about.
Yiyin's depressed mood finally felt a little cheered up. He thought about it and said to Kamao Clan.
"Shixiang, send someone to ask Nizi Katsuhisa and Yamanaka Yukimori, how long will it take for the war in South Hanoi to end?
If things are almost done, leave it to the people below and ask them to come back to Duowenshan City to see me."
"Hi!"
Yusa Shinji is dead, and the Minamikouchi samurai family is frightened by the siege from all directions by the crusade. Hatakeyama Takamasa should have no problem controlling Minamikouchi, and it can almost be concluded.
Yiyin said again.
"Send someone to spread the word about Maeda's interests, Otani Yoshitsugi, and Toudo Takatora to come to Tawenyama Castle to see me."
After Takatora Toudo died, Takatora Toudo, the heir, became the talker of the Toudo leader. Compared to her mother, she was not famous enough, so the situation over at Omi must be very bad.
Yoshigan needs to appease Toudo Takatora's emotions, because the follow-up actions of the Oda Asai family will come soon.
I called Maeda Yoshitsugi, Ohtani Yoshitsugi, and Toudo Takatora because the three of them formed the military commander faction of the Konkishiba Territory.
Yoshigan hopes to stabilize Takatora Todo. After all, her mother was loyal to Yoshigan and died in such a strange way. It is inevitable that she will have emotions in her heart.
The embarrassing thing is that Yoshigan bowed his head to Oda Nobunaga in Kyoto just now. At this time, Tenchu in Kyoto should have begun. At this point in time, Yoshigan cannot fight back against Oda Nobunaga.
Therefore, Toudo Takataka probably died in vain. What would Toudo Takatora's daughter think?
Takataka Toudo was very loyal to the Shiba family. Regardless of Yoshigami's personal feelings or his obligations as a master, he had no shame to ask Takataka Toudo to endure it.
Yiyin sighed and said again.
"Go to Dongfu Temple again and tell Master Changjue that I intend to become a monk and practice, and ask her for advice."
Akechi Mitsuhide's plan to become a monk was simple and effective, so Yoshihiro simply accepted it.
At that time, he had an appointment with Master Changjue and entered the Shingon Sect. His Buddhist name, Kenshin, was given by Master Changjue.
At this time, when you officially become a monk, you must of course go to the Shingon sect to worship at the dock, go through the procedures, and become a Shingon sect's attained master.
Yiyin cheered up, issued several orders one after another, and took a breath.
He left the battle for Kyoto sadly. But the battle for the world has just begun.
It was getting late, and Yiyin glanced at the direction of Kyoto in the north. He wondered what the scene was like in Kyoto at this time.
———
At this time in Kyoto, murderous intent is everywhere under the night.
At the Mibulang Station, a group of ronin sat cross-legged in the courtyard, eating rice balls in their hands.
Indoors, the top management of Mibulang and the hired mercenary leaders were also dining.
Hijikata Toshizo's recruitment operation back to Sakai Port went very smoothly this time. Takada Harano's seal of approval made Imai Munehisa dare not neglect, and almost half of Sakai Port was mobilized to meet the Mibu wolves' needs.
The Hokurikudo Trading Route has developed into a terrifying logistics trust group.
The economic network that Takada Yono painstakingly weaved for three years included Sakai Port merchants, local samurai families, and religious forces.
There are many conflicts between these people, and they may not be willing to give in to each other. But with the prestige of Sibo Yiyin, they are very cooperative when selling face to the Sibo family.
In the final analysis, Shiba Yiyin's face is worth using some resources to sell personal favors. What's more, Imai Munehisa is not without money.
With the resources in Takada Harano's hands, a little bit of leakage is enough for everyone to get satisfactory returns.
Even if the Miyoshi family, a hostile force, found out that Imai Munehisa was buying iron cannons, bows and arrows, kabutos and other ordnance, they would just pretend they didn't see it because they were not used to deal with the Miyoshi family anyway.
When fighting within the shogunate, the more people die, the better.
Isamu Kondo looked at Morishige Dohashi, who was eating silently, and saw that Toshizo Hijikata had actually invited this person.
The people of Kii Province have been famous for being mercenaries in recent times, the Nerai clan belongs to the Neirai Temple of the new sect of Shingon sect, and the Zaga clan is a follower of the Ichijo sect.
The merchants of Sakai Port obtained the iron cannon technology from Tanegashima, and worked with the people of the Kii people to create a self-produced iron cannon.
The people of the Kii Kingdom usually farmed the fields and hired soldiers during times of drought. The money they earned built cities and equipped them with iron cannons, making them a hedgehog country that no one dared to mess with.
Hatakeyama Takamasa wanted to get a piece of the pie, but as a result, the Neraizo and the Zagazu drove the Hatakeyama family out of Kii Country, making her a prodigal daughter who was a joke of the shogunate samurai family.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Ji Yi and other gangsters are not easy to mess with.
The territory of Zagazhong is on the east coast of the Seto Inland Sea, around the mouth of the Kii Kuni River. This place can be called the sea and land of the island country. The local people are tough, working as pirates at sea and as mercenaries on land.
Dobashi of Zagaso and Suzuki of Togo are both very famous. Morishige Dobashi is the leader of Zaga clan who is as famous as Suzuki Shigehide.
Isamu Kondo never expected that Toshizo Hijikata could persuade her to come to Kyoto and participate in Tenchu.
