Chapter six hundred and sixty-fifth benevolent coup and evil government
Sibo Yiyin sneered.
"Who is so bold that my sword will harm you?"
Teruhora Uesugi said with a wry smile.
"Of course no one would dare to do it openly.
After the autumn harvest, you and I will send troops to Kawanaka Island, and the tax burden has not yet been sorted out. By the time I come back, the tax rebate from the Second Duke has been distributed to the place."
Yiyin said in confusion.
"Isn't this going to be distributed?"
Teruhora Uesugi said bitterly.
"Yes, they have all been distributed, and people are furious. Many families in Yangbei have written letters to complain to me, and the money and food distributed are almost nonexistent.
They went to inquire and were told by the supervisor that the tax rebates are distributed according to the needs of various places. This year, several water conservancy and road areas need major repairs, so they will be allocated there first."
Yiyin grimaced.
"Those places where major repairs are being carried out should all be in the territory of the Joetsu Chugotsu Uesugi Retainers Regiment?"
Terutora Uesugi laughed, his laughter full of anger.
"The adherents are not so stupid. At least 30% of them have been allocated to my direct leadership. There are large-scale construction projects everywhere on the Takata Plain."
Yoshigan couldn't help but laugh. Uesugi Teruhu was unknowingly and inexplicably taking the blame.
"They really know how to behave."
Teruhora Uesugi snorted coldly.
"No, you dragged me into the water, and even Honjo Sano, who was guarding the rear, had nothing to say.
Only when I received a letter from the Yangbei people who returned to their territory and asked me to come see me, did I know the truth.
The Yangbei people fought bravely this time, but many people died but did not get any benefits, and they were treated differently.
Senior ministers who were close to me, including Nakajo Fujisaki, Irobe Katsunaga, and others were extremely angry, and their grief and indignation overflowed on paper and pen.
If this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid Yangbeizhong will cause trouble again."
Yiyin hesitated.
"Didn't you share Narumi Jinshan with them? They wouldn't fall out immediately, right?"
Teru Uesugi shook his head.
"Mr. Kenshin, you don't know the inside story of Narumi Jinshan. That Jinshan is located in the northern section of Echigo, deep into the territory of Yanghoku.
I only hold it in name, but in fact, at most 23 out of 10 gold mines come to me every year, and most of them are privately divided by Yang Beizhong.
My reward this time only gave them a legitimate reason to swallow up the gold mine, and I did not pay any actual benefits."
Yiyin was stunned, what happened.
Yangbeizhong was divided by Uesugi Teruhora and Shiba Yoshigan, and this battle was divided into two waves.
The people from Yutai Yangbei abandoned their master on the battlefield without getting a single benefit. It was a blessing that they were not punished.
The troops from Yangbei followed Uesugi Teruhora into battle, and fought a bloody battle on Kawanaka Island. In the end, they got a bad check from Jinshan. When they returned home, they found that the promised tax rebate had been swallowed up by the Uesugi warriors who stayed behind.
Both the Yangbeizhong and the Yangbeizhong suffered heavy losses, did not make a single profit, and suffered a lot of infamy.
Who can bear this?
If we don't handle it well, don't expect to conquer the Kanto region next spring and just prepare to counter the rebellion!
Yiyin sighed, suddenly remembered something, and called out. The Hamo clan opened the door, bowed and stood by.
"Bama Shengji, have you received any letters or documents in the past two days?"
Pu Shengshi Township said respectfully.
"Otai Office, Mr. Okuma Asahide just now has a letter sent urgently from Central Vietnam. I saw you talking to His Highness Uesugi, so I didn't bother you."
Yiyin smiled.
"I don't blame you, bring it over and show it to me."
"Hi!"
Kamoji-go presented a letter with both hands, and Yoshigan took the letter and motioned for her to leave. She then bowed and left, closing the sliding door.
Yoshihiro opened the letter, scanned it, smashed it on the document, and sneered at Terutora Uesugi.
"Daxiong Chaoxiu was also tricked, these bastards are so brave!
Daxiong Ji will inevitably have her tax rebate cut off, and others have no hope."
Yoshigan was really angry at the greed of the new Uesugi retainers. He didn't blame the Takeshi for being greedy, it was just their nature.
He hates the fact that these idiots are mentally ill!
Who is Okuma Asahide? How many resources does the head of the Shiba family of the Hokuriku Road Trading Route have in his hands?
For the sake of Ergong's rebate, these people even dared to swallow her share, and they were not afraid that Daxiong Chaoxiu would turn around and cut off their supply of goods, so everyone broke up.
A powerful high-level martial arts family like Daxiong Chaoxiu doesn't have a share. You can imagine the situation on Yangbeizhong's side. Now there's only one spark left to ignite it, right?
Fortunately, Daxiong Chaoxiu was concerned about the overall situation and did not immediately fight back, but informed Shiba Yiyin.
If the Shiba Uesugi family has a business dispute and tries to hurt each other, Kanto Raiders will make a prank!
Yoshigan looked at Terutora Uesugi in anger and cursed.
"Do your people have any brains? I gave them so much business profit from Hokuriku Road, and they are still greedy for this little money and food!
You are short-sighted! You are not afraid of ruining the overall situation!"
Yiyin was really speechless.
The Echigo stone is 400,000 stone high, and the Tian Fu Ergong is 80,000 stone, which translates into 40,000 guan.
In the first year after the opening of the Hokuriku Road trade route, 300,000 guan of goods arrived at Echigo Naoetsu.
Let’s not talk about tariffs and profit sharing among the Uesugi retainers, but just talk about Yiyin subsidizing the market, purchasing at 30% higher and selling at 30% lower, which is enough for these samurai families to make a lot of money.
The Wu family, who are smarter, can pool their own money to buy goods, sell them to Guandong merchants, or simply buy shares in the caravan. Wouldn't they earn more than this 40,000 guan?
After entering the Guandong Plain, the price of goods worth 300,000 guan can rise to one million guan.
However, they were not greedy enough to let go of this mere 40,000 guan. They made people angry in Echigo and even led to civil strife.
Are these people out of their minds?
Uesugi Teruhu was also annoyed, she said coldly with a sneer on her face.
"Isn't it just that the heart is blocked by greed? I can cure this disease.
Kill some people, shed some blood, and wipe your face with the blood. Your mind will be clear and your thoughts will be clear."
Yoshigan was originally trembling with anger, but he calmed down after being overcome by Uesugi Teruhora's murderous words.
He thought for a long time and shook his head.
"No, we can't go to war."
Teru Uesugi looked at him in surprise and asked.
"These bastards are already crawling on top of you and me, why are they still here? Kill them all with one knife."
Yoshigage's right index finger pointed at Terutora Uesugi's forehead, almost poking it, and he cursed.
"Can you solve the problem if you just know how to kill? You don't know how deep the water is in your retainers?
Your direct ministers include the close bannermen, the generational retainers, the dependent local people, the old guardian retainers who have surrendered, the Nagao clan, and the two Nagao families.
How many people do you think have taken advantage of the tax rebate? Are there no people left behind those who follow the common law? Which pawn are you going to kill? What should you do if someone takes advantage of troubled waters and kills someone with a borrowed knife?
With this sword strike, how many people will be killed? Ten people? Fifty people? One hundred people? You can give the order to strike, but can you guarantee that you will kill all the people who deserve to be killed? If you are red-eyed, you can hold back the sword.
?
By then, it will be a mess, and the tax refund issue will still be unclear, but it will be in a mess."
Teruhora Uesugi was speechless.
She does things in a rough and direct manner, and even if she knows the twists and turns, she doesn't bother to figure them out.
With the handle of the knife in your hand, you can use the knife to make chaos, but there is so much trouble!
