Afterwards, Shiba Yoshigan and Asakura Sotechi had a pleasant conversation.
Asakura Sotechi was determined to sell Shiba Yoshigan a favor, and Yoshigan was willing to share a large amount of profits with the Tsuruga Asakura family in order to connect Konki and Echigo.
Both sides got what they needed, and naturally the talks went very smoothly. The two bosses just finalized the strategic direction, and the specific details were discussed by both parties.
Uesugi Teruhu looked at it with mixed emotions. Although the Uesugi family would benefit from it, she didn't want to make it happen.
When Shiba Yiyin goes to Kanto, it would be best for her if she has poor contact with her relatives, or simply cuts off contact.
If he has nothing to rely on, he can only rely on himself.
As long as she shows off her power and conquers the Kanto Plain, Teru Uesugi can bring back the beauty and get her wish.
But the reality is that Yoshihiro is working step by step, mobilizing the Shiba family's military strength in Kyoto, and now contacting the samurai families on the front line of Hokuriku Road to set up trade routes and plan for transportation.
This is completely different from what she thought!
Although the Uesugi family could also benefit from it, she always felt a little uneasy. Things seemed to be out of her control, and Yoshihiro Shiba had taken the initiative.
I originally thought that Echigo was her home ground, and Yoshigan Shiba would not let her control him when he got there.
But she just takes it one step at a time and never thinks of relying on her. This feels too bad.
Uesugi Teruhora had mixed feelings, Asakura Sotechi and Shiba Yoshigan chatted for a while before saying goodbye.
Asakura Kageki walked a few steps away, and when he came back, he saw his mother thoughtfully sitting beside her.
Asakura Sodi looked at her silently and asked.
"What do you think of this business deal?"
Asakura Kageki replied.
"Qianxin has given me too many benefits, and you agreed too readily. I always feel weird."
Sokura Asakura smiled.
"As long as he can channel the power of the Shiba family to Echigo, he is willing to do business at a loss, let alone making money together now.
He also took the opportunity to tie up me, an important minister of the Asakura family, and he made a lot of money."
Asakura Kageki was a little confused.
"Ken nobu is just sending an envoy to Echigo. Even if we lose contact with Konge, it will only be a few months. Why waste so much effort?"
Asakura Sodi took a deep look at her, sighed, and said.
"It's because you can't understand that I want to befriend him, make it easier for him, and leave a favor for you."
Asakura Kageki became more and more confused and said.
"The governor of the house has shown signs of alienating me, the Tsurugas. Is there something wrong with you cooperating with the Shiba family and not communicating with the master's family yet?
Even if you earn some benefits, the gains outweigh the losses.”
Seeing that his daughter was so clueless, Asakura Sodai looked at her with some compassion.
It's all because he took good care of her. Without experience, I don't know how she can survive this troubled world after he leaves.
She whispered.
"Tsuruga everyone obeyed my advice, even if the family governor is dissatisfied, he can't do anything to me.
I'm old, so it's really pointless to do this, but for you, it's a life-saving talisman."
She looked solemnly, looked directly at her daughter, and said sternly.
"Remember my words, if one day I am no longer here.
Internally, you must firmly grasp this trade line and use the benefits to bribe the Tsuruga people.
Externally, cherish the friendship with Asai Shiba and his family, especially Mr. Kenshin, and you must treat him sincerely.
Only by practicing both inside and outside can you save your life and the Tsuruga Asakura family."
Asakura Kageki somewhat understood who his mother was guarding against, and couldn't help but said in shock.
"Your Majesty Yoshikage would not treat my family like this. You have dedicated your life to the Asakura family. There is no reason for her to do this."
Asakura Sodi sneered.
"When has the Wu family ever acted with reason?
She doesn't have the guts to expand the territory and find food for everyone. So she can only treat her relatives as thieves to guard against others.
The Tsuruga Army and the Ono Army were the two strongest armies in Echizen.
She overcame all opinions and sent her sister Asakura Keijing to serve as Ono County Sheriff, taking control of the Ono people.
Because they were afraid of my existence, they didn't dare to attack Tsuruga.
I'm old and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive much longer. How will your prestige be able to hold on to Tsuruga County when I'm gone?
When my ancestors and I annihilated Asakura Kagetoyo of Tsuruga County and replaced him as Tsuruga County Secretary, that person was not a member of Asakura's family.
If you continue to be so naive, you will be the next one to be wiped out."
Asakura Yoshikage was content with the status quo. The Echizen Asakura family was very powerful, but had no intention of exploring outside the country. This had already caused dissatisfaction among his relatives.
The highly respected Asakura Sotechi was a thorn in Asakura Yoshikage's side, but because of her high prestige, she did not dare to suppress her.
Asakura Kageki was at a loss and muttered.
"how so?"
Asakura Sodi shook his head, very disappointed with his daughter, and warned.
"The Wu family values profit over righteousness, but family ties are weak.
I will definitely give my full support to this trade line and make it happen.
You must hold it firmly and use the benefits gained from it to win over the hearts of the people and gain their support.
As long as the samurai family of Tsuruga County is on your side, His Highness Yoshikage will have concerns about whether she can bear the price of falling out with you.
Remember, if you make friends with Qianxin Gong with your heart, this person will be very capable.
What's even more valuable is that he has never betrayed his trust since his debut, which is rare among martial artists and can be used as foreign aid."
Asakura Kageki recalled the dazzlingly handsome young man, biting his lower lip and said unconvinced.
"Is he that powerful?"
Asakura Sondi glanced at her and sneered.
"Anyway, he is much stronger than you. In just three years, you will see the rise of the Spo family."
"Hasn't the Shiba family been revived?"
Asakura Sodi stopped talking and cast his eyes into the distance, seeming to see the future.
Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi were walking towards the outside of the castle tower. A few steps ahead was where their warrior Hime was waiting.
Uesugi Teruhu saw no one around him and felt unhappy.
"Actually, you don't have to go to such trouble. I will conquer the Kanto Plain for you when you get to Echigo. By then...well...let's talk about it."
Yiyin glanced at her, and of course he understood the meaning of the words.
I had to go to Kanto because of the system missions. I had a choice. Who wants to take risks in Kanto?
And the system has maxed out Terutora Uesugi's favorability level, which is really causing trouble for him.
He only wanted to be single and have Shiba's harem, but Uesugi Teruhora only wanted to talk about business matters and did not want to get involved in personal matters.
This Lord of Echigo, if he succeeds in conquering Kanto, is also a daimyo worth over a million koku and holds a high position of power. How could he be given a harem?
Since you can't keep it in your pocket, don't incur love debts for yourself to avoid trouble in the future.
Moreover, he was not optimistic about Uesugi Teruhora's Kanto strategy.
It can be seen that she is indeed brave and brave, and she is also wise as a king.
But this person has a problem. She doesn't like to use her brain to solve problems that can be solved directly with force and money, and prefers rough and direct solutions.
The samurai family has no shortage of martial prowess, so how can she fight? The conquest was only within the territory of Echigo.
To take a step back, even if she is indeed unparalleled in battle and can defeat invincible opponents in the world, so what?
Abuse of money and violence will only cover up conflicts rather than solve them.
Politics is about compromise and seeking common interests acceptable to both parties, not about convincing the other party to bow down and create hidden dangers.
If she follows her ideas, even if she wins all the battles, she still won't be able to conquer Kanto.
Fighting at the front, rebelling at the rear, surrendering on the front foot, and causing chaos on the rear foot are the norm. What is the meaning of such a victory?
Yiyin said slightly coldly.
"The Uesugi family and the Uesugi family are working together to conquer Kanto. There is no reason to just let the Uesugi family do the work while my family enjoys the results."
Terutora Uesugi was speechless for a moment, and some words could only be understood but not expressed.
Did she just say that she captured Kanto as a betrothal gift? Now that Echigo has not stabilized and rebellions are frequent, isn't this just a laughing stock?
Seeing her embarrassment, Yiyin couldn't bear it and said softly.
"The troubled times have come, and everyone in the Wu family has too much time to take care of themselves.
Stop talking useless things, do you think you can control me for the rest of your life?"
"I can."
Uesugi Teruhora said firmly, and Yoshigine was stunned, speechless by her straightforward confession.
Seeing the sincerity on this person's face, I couldn't listen to his advice at all, so I laughed out of anger.
"You want to support me just because your Echigo country is riddled with holes?"
"I will support you."
Yiyin was choked up again and said angrily.
"Mind yourself first, fool."
After walking a few steps quickly, we were the first to exit the castle tower.
Terutora Uesugi looked at his back and wanted to smile, but couldn't, so he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth a few times and followed him.
