When the local martial arts family saw that you were my confidant, they naturally didn't dare to say anything. But they themselves were short of food. If you carelessly took the food and grass and left, who would blame them if they complained behind their backs?
I have worked hard to win over you, and you have been eating and drinking behind my back. Where will you put the trust I just established?
You immediately send a few capable Ji warriors back to Dahu Territory, tell them clearly where they passed, and ask Dao Shengmeng to count the food and grass consumption along the way, and add 30% of the amount to return to the local villages!"
Seeing that Yamanaka Yukimori was still a little stunned, Yoshigin shouted angrily.
"Go quickly!"
"Hi!"
———
By the time Yamazaka Yukimori finished this matter and returned to the campfire, it was already dinner time.
Yoshihiro was holding the wheat rice presented by the village and was eating it with difficulty. Seeing that he was treating her so harshly, Yamanaka Yukimori couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Japan itself lacks grinding tools, and food is precious and precious. The rice harvested in autumn is usually handed over to the samurai family as a field tax, and the common people in the village often cook the wheat harvested in summer without shelling it for belly wrapping.
Originally, this kind of wheat rice was the food of common people in the village, and the Wu family could still eat brown rice.
However, the villages in this area are suffering from severe disasters and their harvests have been cut off. The rice they barely harvested is seed grain that will be sown in the spring of next year. There is no way to eat it.
With Yiyin's status, no matter how precious the seed grain is, it should be cooked for him. But in order to show that we share the joys and sorrows, Yiyin asked the villagers to eat whatever they eat.
So, I could only eat coarse wheat rice.
Seeing Yamanaka Yumori's unbearable expression again, Yoshigin, who was still angry with her for her nonsense, pushed another bowl of wheat rice in front of her with a stern face and said coldly.
"Are you hungry? Eat."
Yamanaka Yukimori bowed to thank his lord and picked up the wheat rice. After just one bite, he felt his teeth hurt and the walls of his mouth were itchy from the wheat grains.
She couldn't help but say.
"Tsudaden, how can you eat such a thing?"
Yiyin took a few bites and glanced at her.
"Why can't I eat?
This time when I went to the countryside, I wanted to win people's hearts, open up channels for the Wu Jia Li Promotion Association, and sow the soil for the Si Bo family's new Wu Jia ideas.
If I eat this bowl of wheat rice, I can conquer the hearts of the people in this area and save a few Ji warriors from being killed by the Shiba family in future battles. I will be happy to eat a few more bowls."
Yoshigami glanced at Ii Naomasa who was serving beside him. The little girl knew that her master had something to do and wanted to talk to Yamanaka Yukimori alone, so she obediently bowed and went out.
After Ii Naomasa left, Yoshigan asked with a cold face.
"After you returned to Kanto, you rushed straight to my place? No one said anything to you?"
Yiyin came from Dahu City, and Dao Shengmeng knew the purpose of his trip. Yamazaka Yukimori rushed in stupidly, and Dao Shengmeng didn't explain a few precautions?
Yamanaka Yukimori thought for a while and didn't understand what Yoshigan meant, so he talked about something else.
"The Kanto Princess Warriors I brought to the nearest island have done a lot of good work this time. Just after I came back, Honjo Shigenaga and Kachi Kagetsuna came to Naoetsu to pick me up and asked if they could do any favors for these Princess Warriors.
As you also know, the Kanto Princess Warriors are composed of Shimogotsu Odai people, and they already enjoy the benefits of the Kanto Palace.
What I heard from them is that they hope that by promoting Ge Yutai as a retainer of Sibo, they will receive an extra annuity from the Sibo Zhong Fund in the future, which will be considered worthy of them traveling thousands of miles to be loyal to their master."
Yi Gin was so angry that he put down his bowl and chopsticks. The wheat rice was unpalatable. Yamanaka Yukimori's stupidity made him even more angry.
I originally thought that the hard work in the past few years had made Yamanaka Yukimori a lot smarter, but who knew that at the critical moment, I was still slow and was deceived.
It was just that Dao Shengmeng had tricked her secretly, but guys like Honjo Shibanchang also used their crooked ideas to use her as a scapegoat. How could this silly girl be so stupid?
Yamanaka Yukimori didn't know what she said wrongly, which made her master unhappy, so she asked cautiously.
"Master, did I say something wrong?"
Yoshigami glanced at the innocent-looking Yukimori Yamanaka, and really didn't know where to start scolding him.
Yamanaka Yukimori fell into many pitfalls in the past two years, but was picked up by Yiyin every time, and his status was even higher.
Yiyin was a little pleased to see that she had also learned to play tricks and knew how to check and balance the village's fanchang and Jiadi Jingang. Finally, he learned a lesson, gained some wisdom, and became somewhat sensible.
But when we met today, Yamanaka Yukimori still missed a move and was deceived again.
Looking at the puzzled little face of Yamanaka Yukimori, Yoshihiro could only sigh, not all the advantages in the world can be taken by one person.
Yamanaka Yukimori is the most beautiful warrior under his command, and also the dullest. Silly and sweet, why should stupidity come first? Because one stupidity will ruin everything!
Yoshigan's depression was obviously felt by Yamanaka Yukimori, and she looked a little sad. Although she didn't understand where she was wrong, she still bowed and lowered her head.
"My lord, I'm very sorry."
Seeing that she looked tired from the journey and that the dust on her body had not yet been cleaned off. Yiyin knew that she came here in a hurry and that she really cared about him, and her heart softened.
That's all, you can't expect all of your subordinates to be human beings. It's rare that you can protect a stupid person.
Yiyin sighed.
"Do you know why Honjo Shigecho and the others are trying to stand up for Shimogotsu Otai?
After the reforms in Sibo's family, the Sibo Zhong Fund was born. In the future, everyone will have a six-stone hard-core crop and live a new life in Sibo.
Who is not greedy?
The samurai family of the Kanto Servant House does not belong to the Shiba Retainer Group. The only people in Kanto who can enjoy the Shiba Tadashi Fund are Shima Katsuki and the Shiba Territory under your command.
If you think about it carefully, if a hole is opened for the people of Shimogotsu Odai, what will Okinawa Asahide from Chugotsu think? What will Sanada Nobushige from Nishi-Ueno think? And those people like Ogasawara Nagaki?
Compared with meritorious service and diligence, how are they inferior to the Yue Yutai people? As soon as this is opened, every one of them feels that they have been wronged and suffered a big loss, and they will find a way to beg me!
The Shiba Tadashi Fund is a hard-core crop that belongs exclusively to the Shiba family retainers. It is a loyalty contract between me and the Shiba family retainers.
The samurai in the Kanto Palace are not Shiba's retainers. If they could easily get equal treatment, what would the Shiba retainers think? Who would take this loyalty contract seriously?
Things are rare and valuable. If everyone has a share, what will the Spozhong Fund become?
Spozhong Fund is a loyalty contract that I have worked hard to manage. The threshold must be strictly adhered to, and it must be clear and distinct. No vague interpretation is allowed. A strong sense of gap is the difference I want.
The people at the Kanto Service Office want to take a side step and share the benefits of the Shiba Chun Fund. They don't have the guts to mention it to me, so they have their brains turned on you, the deacon of the Kanto Service Office.
Do you think this is the meritorious service of the Kanto Princess Warriors in recent times? This is a matter of principle as to which one is more important and which one is more important, the Shiba Retainer Corps and the Kanto Shisho Warrior Family, and how close they are to each other!"
Yamanaka Yukimori suddenly realized that he had been pushed and used as a gun by Honzo Shigecho and the others. This was simply unreasonable.
Seeing that Yamazaka Yukimori's eyes were red, Yoshiyin said coldly.
"Feel like you're being used? Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to go back and deal with them?
Just calm down and think about it.
Why did they choose to follow you? Why should I eat unpalatable wheat rice here?
Even if you are as noble as me, I am still riding on the back of a tiger. I have to be careful about many things. Why are you so careless and dare to love and hate?
Only by walking on thin ice and thinking deeply can you achieve long-term peace and stability.
The Wu family is like a wolf, and to get along with them you need a carrot and a stick. Sometimes you have to face reality, learn to admit defeat, and learn to pretend to be confused.
In order to win people's hearts, I am here being chewed out by wheat rice. What does this grievance mean to you?
As long as you can understand, you can fool them when you go back. Give them a little hope, like a carrot hanging in front of a mule, so that they can run more cheerfully.
They will use you because they recognize your value as a leader. If you say anything right in front of me, they will count on you to feed them."
Yoshigan's words made sense, and Yamanaka Yukimori nodded slowly. She looked at Yoshigan, bit her lip and spoke seriously.
"My Lord, I really work hard, but sometimes I am always slow to do things. Is it really worth your efforts to cultivate and protect me for a fool like me?
I know that you have been protecting me, but in fact I am not qualified to sit in my current position."
Yoshiyin patted her face gently and hugged her into his arms. Yamanaka Yukimori trembled and did not dare to move.
Smelling the daughter's fragrance on Yamanaka Yukimori's body, Yoshiyin whispered in her ear.
"Do you know why I work so hard? Why do I have to be here in the cold and wind, eating this unpalatable mouthful of wheat rice?
Because I want to protect you and protect you around me. I need to be stronger, and the Sibo family needs to be stronger.
Stop thinking nonsense and work hard to do your job well. As long as I am here and Nizi Shengjiu is here, no one can change your position.
Also, pay attention to your attitude towards members of the community such as Kamao Clan and Naomasa Ii. Although they are your descendants, members of the community will soon have to assume more important responsibilities, so be careful not to offend others."
Yamanaka Yukimori was so exhausted by the masculinity of Yoshigin that his mind was empty and he could only nod.
Yiyin couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw her losing her composure.
Shima Shengmeng knew that he was concerned about the future of the community when he was in Dahu City, so he stuffed Nagano Yoshimori into the community based on Kamizumi Nobutsuna's last wish.
But it happened that this silly girl Yukimori Yamazaka, despite having a pretty face, was so insensitive to the political changes in Shiba's family.
Yiyin didn't even dare to remind her. She rushed southward all the way stupidly. Didn't Dao Shengmeng know that there would be a problem with her food supply?
Dahuling is the back road for Yiyin to go south to the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, and Shima Shengmeng has been keeping an eye on it.
Shima Katsuo, the Girihime samurai, is also quite unreasonable in matters of love. Without blinking an eye, he threw Yamanaka Yukimori into a ditch.
Yoshihiro didn't even dare to expose this matter, fearing that it would deepen Yukimori Yamanaka's hatred and intensify their conflicts.
Thinking about the important ministers of Sibo whom he had been with, all of them were as cunning as foxes and as fierce as tigers, Yiyin felt a tightness in his chest, the world was really not getting better.
In comparison, Yamanaka Yukimori, who is a bit more silly and cute than the others, actually looks a lot cuter.
With his thoughts on his mind, Yoshigami hugged Yamanaka Yukimori and remained motionless.
Yamanaka Yukimori looked at the master in front of him, smelled the master's scent with his nose, and his mouth was very close to the master's face.
The love in her heart was overwhelming, she gritted her teeth and raised her head, pressing a kiss on Yiyin's lips.
Yiyin came to his senses after being attacked by her. In front of him, the girl Warrior Ji was already full of lust, and her cheeks were filled with clouds.
Seeing Yiyin looking back at her, she lowered her head and did not dare to look. Her swan-like neck was already red.
With the beauty in front of her, Yiyin moved his index finger, hugged her with one hand, and reached down with the other hand, writing a good poem.
After swallowing his saliva, Yoshigan found that he was becoming more and more liberal now. Since becoming a monk, he seemed to have gotten rid of the guilt towards Ashikaga Yoshiteru and became more and more dissolute.
On the way back to Kanto, I really saw one after another, Uesugi Teruhora, Shima Shengmeng, and Yukimori Yamazaka in front of me.
He glanced in the direction of the sliding door. Naomasa Ii went out to wait. No one should bother him for a while.
After thinking about it, Yoshiyin said in the ear of Yukimori Yamazaka.
"Kamojigo and Ii Naomasa are both outside. It's not convenient today."
Yamanaka Yukimori trembled all over and was so frustrated that he wanted to get up from Yoshigan. Unexpectedly, Yoshigan tightened his arms and smiled softly in her ear.
"I lied to you, little fool."
Yamanaka Yukimori was speechless in a daze, his body fell down, one hard and then soft, and even more collapsed into a ball of mud, letting Yoshigage do whatever he wanted.
———
After an in-depth and simple exchange, the rough wheat rice in front of them became delicious. Maybe it was because of the excessive physical exertion and the two of them were really hungry.
I am very satisfied with Yamanaka Yukimori and Yiyin.
Unlike Shima Shengmu, who is inconsistent on the outside and rude on the outside, and rude in bed, Yukimori Yamazaka is the same on the outside and is docile in a casual manner.
Yamanaka Yukimori blushed with embarrassment and ate wheat rice with Yoshigan. If he could be liked by his master and could stay with him, not only eating wheat rice, but also eating chaff would be fine.
While eating, Yoshigan thought about Yamanaka Yukimori's mediocrity.
In fact, Yamanaka Yukimori's starting point was very high. She was one of the first batch of samurai warriors from Yoshigan to go to Iga country from Kyoto, and she was a real veteran.
He successively served as the first writer of Sibo Tongxinzhong and the deacon of the Kanto Palace. He was a very powerful person.
Most of the current Shiba retainers in Kanto are tribesmen who descended from Kanto after the expansion of the Shiba Tongxin clan, and Yamanaka Yukimori was the former leader of this group of people.
At that time, Ii Naomasa had not yet arrived, Kamao Clan was still the little sister, and Shimakatsu Takeo was just the deputy of Yamanaka Yukimori.
Yiyin's support for Yamanaka Yukimori is extremely sincere, and he can be said to be very fond of him. With Dao Sheng's fierce character, he can't help but be jealous and despise Yamanaka Yukimori as Yujin's minister.
But no matter how Yiyin tries to help, Xingsheng's power in the mountains remains tepid.
Honjo Shigenaga and Kachi Kaizuna were dishonest, and Ohkuma Asahide and Sanada Nobushige were unconvinced. However, everyone knew that Yoshigan was deliberately cultivating Yamanaka Yukimori, and no one dared to reject her openly.
Yamanaka Yukimori seems to have the highest status in the Kanto Palace, but in fact, his appeal is not as strong as Shima Katsuo's, and his upper limit is very low.
On the other side, Nizi Katsuhisa regards Yamanaka Yukimori as a biological sister, and the Spossi Kingdom Warrior Group composed of Nizi's surviving ministers attaches great importance to Yamanaka Yukimori's status as a favorite in Yoshigan's heart.
Therefore, Yamanaka Yukimori's position is very stable, and the lower limit is also very high.
