Yamanaka Yukimori saw that Akechi Mitsuhide had changed from her usual elegance and had a look of disgust on her face. Instead, she felt that she had become more real, which was a bit strange.
She was in a good mood at this time, but she was also afraid that others would find her in the sinner's room, so she stopped talking nonsense, nodded slightly, turned and left.
After Yamanaka Yukimori left, Akechi Mitsuhide stared blankly at the sliding door, savoring the previous conversation with his master.
After not seeing each other for two years, the master not only became more handsome in appearance, but also became more determined and mature mentally. But he was still the same person, and his compassion for the world made Mitsuhide Akechi fall in love with him even more.
He said that Mitsuhide Akechi was a radical, so why not himself? In this dark and troubled world, to have mercy is to seek death.
But Akechi Mitsuhide is very envious. She is full of intrigues and has lost the ability to love the world.
Human nature is like this: whatever it lacks, it longs for. Perhaps this is the reason why Akechi Mitsuhide is obsessed with Shiba Yiyin.
I don't know how much time passed, but Mitsuhide Akechi suddenly smiled, and his face gradually returned to its former elegant smile, as if he was wearing the original mask again.
She murmured to herself.
"Those people in the shogunate are not good at fighting. But when it comes to conspiracy, they are all good at it.
It's not because they are smart, but because they are shameless, cold-blooded, utilitarian, and have no bottom line in what they do.
My lord, you will need me. And you won't keep me waiting too long.
You can't fight them, you want face, you have a bottom line, you will not be their opponent. Only a lunatic like me who has no scruples and does anything can play well with them.
I'm really curious. You are so afraid that you call a radical more radical than me. What kind of person is Oda Nobunaga?
She will definitely die in my hands. Because she ruined your life, I will never let her go, never..."
Akechi Mitsuhide had tears in his eyes.
Oda Nobunaga...it was her who took away his first time, and it was she who changed his life.
She, damn it.
———
Yoshigan walked out of Akechi Mitsuhide's detention room and breathed out a sigh of relief. Although he was a little regretful, he really didn't dare to use Akechi Mitsuhide.
If this guy killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru because he was obsessed with himself, admired himself, and couldn't restrain his jealousy, Yoshigami might consider using her again.
I feel sorry for Ashikaga Yoshiteru for doing this, but Yoshiki doesn't have many choices.
The Shiba clan declined for a long time, and was finally wiped out by someone in the Owari Kingdom. The Shiba family had long lost its hereditary territory, and Yoshigan had no successors. The so-called revival of the family business was just a rootless root.
Using the Shiba Chu Fund to win over Shiba's retainers is a temporary measure.
I don’t know how long the potential of the Hokuriku Dou Trade Route can be exploited. There is no profit in this world that can rise at a high speed forever. Once the income of Shibachu Fund slows down and stagnates, this road will come to an end.
Yi Bank can rely on the Sperazhong Fund for a while, but in the long run, it will still have to rely on expanding Spo's heirs to stabilize the family business.
The bloodline and family structure of the martial arts society is complex, but it is this overall interest that affects the whole body that can ensure that high-level martial arts families take care of each other and jointly suppress the unity will of the lower classes.
Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy of occupying the magpie's nest is shocking in the world of female lords, but it is feasible, that is, using blood connections to quickly expand the base.
In order for a female daimyo in the world of female lords to flourish, they need to be pregnant for ten months. Yiyin's male body does not have to be so troublesome and can quickly expand the number of heirs.
Although the reputation will definitely be ruined, the daughter does not think the father is ugly. Do the descendants of Sibo who have received benefits dare to deny their father?
This method allows Yiyin to quickly consolidate control of the Shiba family's territory through the woman's retainers, and also ensures that the land is handed over to his heirs, so that the wealth does not flow to outsiders.
The woman doesn't feel at a disadvantage, and he, a man from a different world, also feels that he has taken advantage. Everyone is really happy.
However, due to the emotional jealousy of many admirers and the status of the widow of Kawachi Genji, the advancement of the dove-occupying magpie's nest plan will be more difficult and sensitive than two years ago.
Yiyin needs a brilliant advisor to help it manage this matter, and the best operator is actually Mitsuhide Akechi.
This guy is obviously his admirer, but he is willing to take the initiative to wear a green headband and help Yiyin seduce other women.
This kind of pervert is unique, and he is so damn smart, the only one in the world.
Yiyin has always been confused about her thoughts, and after the two exchanged words today, he finally understood.
It turns out that she is not only a pervert, but also a radical idealistic madman, which is fatal.
If Mitsuhide Akechi just had a hat plot, Yoshigan would not be able to satisfy her at all. Anyway, he would find it quite exciting. But this lunatic's idea of changing the world of the samurai family made Yoshigan numb.
He reincarnated and lived a new life just to make life easier for himself and the people he valued. He did not want to change the fate of the island country and change the sky and the moon to make the sky a new one.
It’s none of your business whether the island country is in ruins or not! Protect the people around you and don’t let the situation be rotten in your lifetime.
You have to believe in the wisdom of future generations, well, you can do whatever you want after I die.
For this reason, after Akechi Mitsuhide's showdown, Yoshigan decisively kicked her out. This guy is really useless.
If he wanted to use her, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was just the beginning. Yoshikage's hard days were still to come. He didn't want to be caught off guard again by the unexpected factor of Akechi Mitsuhide.
As a superior Yiyin, what he hates most now is accidents. No matter how talented and needed the uncontrollable people are, they can only be discarded.
Yiyin looked up to the sky and sighed.
But what to do about the plan to seize the magpie's nest? Spo's materials have been allocated and the political cornerstone has been laid. He is in a dilemma.
Yiyin shook his head and didn't think about it for now.
Complete Kamiro first and reestablish the shogunate. Rely on the strength of the shogunate to resist Oda Nobunaga's invasion, and rely on the loyalty fund to unite the Shiba retainers.
As for the rest, I'll figure it out slowly.
But it is not an easy task for Yiyin to drive Mitsuhide Akechi away for retirement.
When the Shiba family was revived, the Shiba Territory was recently divided into territories. Mitsuhide Akechi rewarded Kitaiga with 7,000 koku for his merits, and was also authorized to manage Peking University and the 6,000 koku Shiba Laboratory.
This thirteen thousand koku territory was not empty. In two years, Akechi Mitsuhide had already filled his territory with the samurai who had defected to Mino and the poor people who had been attracted by Kyoto.
As Akechi Mitsuhide is abandoned and his territory shrinks, the treatment of the Akechi retainers who follow him will be greatly affected.
Yiyin does not want to do things absolutely, so it will leave some room. But no matter how tolerant it is, the life of these people will definitely not be the same as before.
Fortunately, with the guarantee of Sibo Zhong Fund, Yiyin has the confidence to buy out the entire Wu family group in Sibo in recent years.
Only in this way can the dissatisfaction of the wise retainers be suppressed and this change not be allowed to affect the stability of the entire Jinbo Territory.
Yiyin couldn't help but sigh.
It is too difficult to do something. To change the status of a powerful martial arts family to reduce the seal is to destroy the jobs of the entire violent group behind her, so it needs to be handled with caution.
———
A few days later, Nizi Katsuhisa and Yagyu Munomi came to Tawenyama Castle to meet their lord. Yoshigan led a group of warriors to greet her outside the castle tower, which flattered her.
Yoshiyin pulled up Nizi Katsuhisa who was bowing, held her hand and said touchedly.
"Ni Ziji, you have worked hard these past two years."
Yiyin is truly moved.
When he left Konki for Kanto, he entrusted three people with Konki Shiba.
Two guys, Maeda Yoshida and Akechi Mitsuhide, got into his bed, raped his man, wiped him out, and made their own plans. Yoshigan was so angry that his mentality was distorted.
Only Nizi Shengjiu was loyal to his duties and diligent. Surrounded by a group of bastards, he tried his best to maintain the stability of the Sbo Territory in recent times, and he was worthy of the entrustment of his master.
Yiyin is also helpless.
Love is a double-edged sword. If you use it incorrectly, you will only hurt yourself. I thought that the two people who admired me would do their best, but who knew that they were far less reliable than Nizi Katsuhisa, a foreign minister.
After this incident, Yiyin became more rational and alert to the changes in the affairs of men and women mixed with military affairs, and he also valued Nizi Katsuhisa's character more and more.
He smiled and took Nizi Shengjiu's hand and said.
"Ni Ziji, although I have been here for two days, I still don't know much about Duowenshan City.
You supervised the construction of this city, why not give my tour guide an explanation of this city of my residence."
Nizi Shengjiu said with a smile.
"Since the Lord is patrolling to lead the way, I just happened to deliver this job."
While the two were chatting and joking, Yamanaka Yukimori jumped out of the queue and said with a smile.
"I have been defending the city for the past two days, and I have some questions. I just want to ask Mr. Nizi to help me clear up my confusion."
Ni Zi Sheng looked at her for a long time, his eyes a little sparkling. Yamazaka Yukimori was also emotional and his eye circles were red.
Yiyin saw the two of them reunited after a long separation, showing their true feelings, and laughed and cursed.
"Ni Ziji is building a city for me and doing business, why did you Yamanaka Yukimori come out to join in the fun?
Forget it, you come over and ask, so that I can save my energy."
Nizi Shenghisa and Yamanaka Yukimori bowed slightly together and thanked their lord for his consideration.
So Xingsheng in the mountains asked about the city, Nizi Shengjiu answered, and Yiyin led a group of Ji warriors to follow them around the city, enjoying themselves.
After the matter was over, the concubines dispersed, leaving only a few important ministers to follow Yiyin to the teahouse to hold a tea party.
The tea master served tea with his art, bowed and left, the monarch and his ministers chatted for a while over tea, and Yiyin turned to the main topic.
"Nizi-hime, you have done very well in the past two years, and Yamanaka-hime has also contributed a lot in Kanto.
After the battle of Shangluo is completed and the merits and rewards are recounted, the family will also review the merits, demerits, rewards and punishments of Sibo leaders in the past two years. You must be prepared to take on more important responsibilities."
Nizi Shengjiu kowtowed to the ground and thanked his lord. Yiyin was letting her know in advance and was preparing to reward her for her contribution to the governance of the Sibo region in recent two years.
As for Yamanaka Yukimori, that's just a bonus. She caused trouble several times in Kanto and received promotions and promotions without merit. Outsiders may not be convinced.
But she had a good fortune. She was favored by her master, and she was a sister who loved her. Shengjiu was so powerful that she had enough confidence that no one else could envy her.
Nizi Shengjiu was also full of emotions. To be honest, the past two years have been really rough.
Although she has been in charge of the internal affairs of the Spur Territory in recent times, none of her colleagues can save money. Which one of Maeda Yoshie, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Takada Harano, who came up later, gives her peace of mind?
Finally, the master came back. Although the Kyoto Incident broke out, she was cautious and did not get involved, so she was naturally clean.
Now, compared with those bastards, his image in the eyes of the master has been rising steadily, and he has become a veritable minister, and he can be regarded as keeping the clouds clear and the moon shining brightly.
In fact, she hasn't done anything extraordinary. These days, those who can do their duty are good retainers. This requirement is too low, and they all rely on the support of their peers.
Nizi Shengjiu looked at Yiyin, and her master was even more handsome than two years ago. She always felt that the hard days were not over yet, and those bastards with stupid brains would have to make trouble sooner or later.
Who made my lord grow up to look like such a fairy? Not to mention, my little sister Yamanaka Yukimori has evil intentions, and Nizi Katsuhisa will help or not?
This is life!
Nizi Katsuhisa felt unspeakably depressed, always feeling that there would still be unrest at home. She heard on the way that Akechi Mitsuhide was whipped by Yoshihiro and imprisoned to await punishment, and she was still frightened.
Glancing at the silly Yukimori Yamanaka standing by, Nizi Katsuhisa shook his head secretly. Don't let this little fool imitate Akechi Mitsuhide and act recklessly, otherwise Nizi Yamanaka's party will end up in the future.
Yiyin didn't know that Nizi Shengjiu was secretly slandering her and blaming her for her peerless appearance.
he said with a smile.
"Ni Ziji, what do you think about the Sibo Zhong Fund that I mentioned in your letter?"
Nizi Shengjiu said solemnly.
"The Lord is kind and his subjects admire him.
If we can make the Shiba family and the samurai family have food to eat, everyone will be full. The foundation of the Shiba family will last forever."
In the letter, Yiyin briefly mentioned that he wanted to borrow money from Konge Tokura, use the Hokurikudo trade route to make money, and set up some kind of loyalty fund to benefit the retainers of Konge Shiba.
Although Nizi Katsuhisa didn't understand modern finance or employee welfare, she was keenly aware of the political intention behind this favor with her simple values.
The Lord wants to take back power.
The essence of power is bottom-up recognition, and the most important power in the hands of the upper class is financial power, military power, and personnel power.
It has been two years since Yiyin left. In recent years, the Sibo Kingdom has not been what it used to be. The monarchs and ministers are unfamiliar and lack kindness. Seizing power by force is a bad idea. The people below have not recognized you, and you cannot take away the power of important ministers.
In the final analysis, the operation of any political power still relies on people. The middle and lower class warriors have doubts about you as their lord. How can you force them to exercise the three powers of finance, military and personnel?
Nizi Katsuhisa has also thought about this problem, so she always believed that the lord would not severely punish Maeda Benefit, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Takada Haruno, because the lord could not exercise power without relying on important ministers.
But she was only half right. Maeda and Haruno passed the test, and it seemed that Mitsuhide Akechi would not die. The master was indeed merciful.
But this is out of kindness, not dependence.
If this money-spreading loyalty fund succeeds, the hearts of the samurai in Sibo in recent years will quickly tilt towards their lord.
Loyalty, in the final analysis, is maintained by money and food, especially for a violent group like the military that licks blood, which is very realistic.
If you don’t have money or food, let’s start a war.
