The Shiba family controlled the Hokurikudo trade route, and Takada Haruno and Ishida Mitsunari took about 30% of the profits of the entire market. This created the Shiba family's paradise and the lighthouse effect.
The effect of pouring so many resources into the Spo family's small territory will be immediate.
The land of Guanbazhou is the largest plain area in the island country. The stone height in the core area is no less than 2.5 million stone, and the total stone height of the eight territories combined exceeds 3 million stone.
With such a large size and population, where can Yiyin find so much money and food to fill this sinkhole?
The so-called paradise means having a standard of living that far exceeds that of other samurai territories around, making people drool at the sight of it.
Yiyin can't do it and doesn't dare to think about it.
If all the people in the Kanto Plain live a wealthy life like the Spurs, it will be a disaster for the island country. Even if the resources of the entire island country are used to fill it, it will not be able to fill this hole.
In essence, this is a volcanic island with poor materials. Poverty is what it should be like here. There is no paradise. It can only enrich itself by sucking the blood of others.
Yiyin can select some lucky people from the island country to enjoy this prosperous life, but a world where everyone is happy can only exist in dreams.
Therefore, he cannot accept the radical ideas of these fanatical international students and must change their thinking.
Yiyin's eyes were suddenly filled with sadness. He slowly stared at the foreign students and looked at each of their faces. He saw that they were all a little overwhelmed and embarrassed.
Yuya, the leader of the ghosts, couldn't help but ask.
"Tsuda-den, did I say something wrong somewhere?"
Yiyin covered his face with his sleeves, as if he didn't want to see any more tragedy.
"I'm very sad. It would be so sad if you acted with this kind of thinking.
You are eager to return to Guanbazhou to implement your ideals, but have you ever thought that the stumbling blocks you are ready to kick away are your parents, your relatives, and your friends.
Just because of the ideological differences between the two generations, you have to raise your swords and guns, treat your relatives and friends as aliens, let them fall in a pool of blood, and let them become the stepping stone for you to ascend to power.
If you really do this, what's the difference between you and them? Is this still the Spoken New Thought on peaceful development?
This is the struggle for power that is happening every day in Guanbazhou. For the sake of selfish desires, they distort the righteousness and attack each other!"
Yuya Kito shouted.
"No, Tsudo-don, we are different. We are the Ji warriors who really want to revive the samurai family. We are different from them!"
Yiyin sighed as he puffed his sleeves.
"Yes, your idea is good, but you used the worst method.
Why aren't you willing to wait a little longer and try to persuade more people to agree with your ideals and let the elders grow old in reflection?
This world belongs to them, and it also belongs to you, but in the final analysis, it belongs to you. The old man will eventually leave, are you so impatient?"
Kito Yua was speechless, and Mikami Momo beside her bowed and said.
"Zundoden, we have seen the real beauty in Spurland in recent years. Looking back at the darkness and despair in our hometown, we really can't bear it for a moment.
The elders are very stubborn. They always think that we don’t understand anything, and they always hope that we continue their stories and continue to move forward on the wrong path.
But we who have awakened are not willing to live in such chaos, please understand us!"
After she finished speaking, she kowtowed to the ground. Behind her, a group of international students kowtowed to the ground together, lowering their young and proud heads to Yiyin.
Yiyin sighed and said.
"Look up, my good students, I understand your thoughts very well.
But have you ever thought about why I established the Wu Jia Li Promotion Association? Why do I want to promote mutual communication between the United Front, fraternities, and local communities in the Wushu Association?
Some blood cannot be shed, and we cannot do things that make our loved ones angry and our enemies happy. We can only wait for changes with patience and love.
I am very pleased with your awakening, but I am also willing to tolerate the ignorance of those in power in Guan Bazhou. They are wrong, but they are also members of the Wu family.
Do you know what the United Front is?
The current situation in Guanbazhou requires us to bravely abandon our prejudices and establish a consensus and a unified front among all martial arts. We must not easily take risks and damage the good start today.
His Majesty Kamakura issued an imperial order for peace in Kanto, and each family also expressed its attitude and willingness to comply with the call for peace.
The Kanto Palace has established a grand review system. The United Front generals represent the martial arts families from all over the country and speak out for the demands of all parties at the grand review.
Everything is developing in a beautiful direction. I hope you forget the sword in your hands and don't use force to change this beautiful beginning.
Maybe many people in Guanbazhou really have different opinions, and maybe many people have never given up their ambitions, but we must be tolerant until they endanger our idea of reviving the Wu family.
Our real enemies are those sinners who are bent on harming the interests of the Wu family and causing the Wu family to lose their right to rule the world. In addition, all Wu families should be the targets of our persuasion.
Under the banner of the common interests of the Wu family, let us abandon our prejudices, embrace all brothers and sisters, and let them stand with us to establish a united front of the Wu family."
How many young people have ever heard such a noble and upright speech? Which warrior Ji is not selfish and only cares about his own interests.
Compared with those elders and famous names, Shiba Yiyin's every move, word and deed can be called a saint of the Wu family.
Yuya's face turned red and he pulled out his ribs, which frightened the fellow guards who almost drew their swords and shouted.
Yoshigami stretched out his hand to stop the others who were about to step forward, but Yua Kito put his palm on the blade and squeezed it hard, blood seeping out from the seams in his palm.
She wiped the blood on her forehead to show respect and respect to Yiyin in the ancient way. Behind her, the international students drew their swords and cut their palms and wiped the blood on their foreheads to pay tribute to Yiyin.
Yuya Kito shouted.
"We follow Tsudo-don's warning and voluntarily form a party to revive the martial arts, and strive for life for Tsudo-den's ambition to revive the samurai family."
The international students were sitting on the ground together, shouting the slogans they had agreed on long ago.
"One thought! One leader! One voice!"
Yiyin motioned for them to get up, and asked the guards to bring them medicine and bandages for them to clean up the wounds on their hands, and then asked softly.
"How long have you been running the Wu Family Renaissance Society? Who organized it? How many people are there now?"
Yuya Kito answered respectfully.
"This is a spontaneous party formed by us international students, and no one came out to organize it. However, Mikami Momo and I are valued by everyone, and we are responsible for some trivial matters of convening the party.
In terms of number of people, the first batch of international students from more than 200 villages in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River all participated, and new international students were gradually inspired by us to join.
But I heard that there are new changes in the student aid program, and some international students have been diverted to Owari Shiba and Kanto Shiba, and we don’t know the situation there.”
Yiyin nodded and said.
“It’s good to be spontaneous, and what comes from the heart is the most authentic.
But most of you will soon finish your studies and return to Kanto, and the future international students will become spontaneous and mess up. I can't bear to have a group of people say these words to them again and again.
So, your name is Yua Guitou, right?"
"Hi, student Yua Kito."
"And this is Mikami Momo?"
"Hi, student Mikami Momo."
"You should organize a few key members to consider your ideas and the admonishment I just gave, write them down carefully, and compile them into a document.
I entrust you to the international students in Spurland and other places to help them understand the meaning of studying abroad.
Of course, don't force them to agree with your ideas.
Thoughts are free, and neither I nor you should interfere with their thoughts, but those who voluntarily join your ranks must be my good students."
Although Yiyin said that he would not force and would never interfere, if he continued to arrange things like this, the international students would not be able to wake up to many things.
There are fanatical fans like Kito Yua and Mikami Momo, who go around with Yoshihiro's speeches to attract people. If you don't join the group, you are not a good student of Shijindoden. How many international students can bear this hat?
In the social atmosphere of the island country, collectivism is paramount, and if you don't fit in with others, you will die in society.
How can those international students who don’t want to be Tsutado’s good students live while they are still labeled as good students?
The new international students who were shocked by the affluent life in Sibo, coupled with a group of Kanto fellows seeking recognition with pamphlets, will eventually end up with all the international students joining the Wu Family Revival Association.
Seeing the eager eyes of Kito Yua and others, Yoshigami smiled happily. He suddenly noticed that these international students were all wearing blue kimonos and couldn't help but ask.
"How come your kimonos are all the same color?"
Ghost head Yuya was startled, her cheeks suddenly glowed, and her face turned red. She never expected that Yoshiyin would ask this.
She was still hesitant to speak, and Mikami Momo on the side said with a wry smile.
"Tsudaden, our eight sets of kimonos were bought for us by international students who pooled their money. We were afraid that we would be too rude when we came to see you."
Yiyin was stunned.
These international students are all children from more than 200 villages in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River. When they left the village last year, it was the time when the village was hit by a disaster.
It doesn't matter if their families let them go to study or not, the main purpose is to escape famine. The family doesn't have enough food to eat, and one less person can survive for one more person.
And by entrusting them to Shiba Yiyin, the family can rest assured. If the merciful and righteous Shiba Jindoden can't believe it, what's the difference between this world and hell.
Although these international students have scholarships, the three-stone food stamps can only ensure that they have enough food and drink. They cannot afford such decent kimonos.
Yiyin patted Yuya's shoulder and said softly.
"You guys, those international students bought clothes for you, aren't they going to starve? This is not appropriate."
Ghost head Yuya touched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"Don't worry, Tsudodon, we can't eat all the food stamps with three stones in a year. Two stones of food stamps is enough for a Ji warrior for a year.
And in my hometown, we never have enough to eat, so it’s not difficult for everyone to raise some money and provide food.”
Yiyin shook his head and said solemnly.
"My hometown is my hometown, and this is Spurling. I won't allow you to go hungry. It's the village of Kamei!"
"Hi!"
“Count all the international students who participated in raising funds to buy kimonos, and provide them with the money and food needed to buy clothes.
Also, make a decent blue kimono for all international students. Not only them, but all international students participating in the scholarship program in the future must wear one as a rule.
After traveling thousands of miles to a foreign country, you cannot let strangers look down upon you. Everyone must dress decently and be in good spirits, and cannot lose the prestige of the Kanto Princess Warriors!"
Girls like Kito Yua were so moved that they shed tears. They held back and sat up straight, refusing to let the tears fall. They must strictly uphold the dignity of the Kanto Princess Warriors.
Yiyin smiled slightly, it was still easy for little girls to deceive them. Those mothers in Kanto were really cunning and difficult to deal with.
Kamao clan glanced at the blue kimonos of the foreign students and felt a little sympathy for Ozo Changan.
Just because of what you said, the person in charge of the student aid program in Dazang Changan will make a blue kimono for each international student in the future. Even if it is a cheap kimono, it will cost a lot of money.
The travel and accommodation are free, and the three-stone food stamp subsidy plus a kimono is enough. Just thinking about it makes Ozo Changan’s heart ache. Is her budget enough?
Ghost Head Yua bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, I have one more request."
"you say."
"Please allow us to participate in the Western Expedition against the Miyoshi family. Although we are not the Shiba family's warriors, we are willing to fight to protect the peace of the recent Shiba territory!
As Tsudoden said just now, all those who destroy the peace of the Wu family and harm the interests of the Wu family are the enemies of our Wu family revival association.
We want to fight against the Miyoshi family who are destroying the peace, so that recent samurai families can clearly see the bravery of our Kanto Princess samurai, and give our study abroad career a perfect ending.
I beg you for your permission, I would be very grateful!"
Yiyin looked at the international students who were kowtowing to the ground, touched his chin and said.
"The student army of the Western Expedition, okay, I allow you to join this war.
Remember, fight hard and come back alive, you are the future of the eight states, don’t fall here easily."
"Onboard loading! Tsudado Hall onboard loading!"
After the students had finished their excitement, Yoshigan reassured them a few words, then clapped his hands and said to the Kamao clan.
"I'm a little tired. You can send them out. There is no need to keep anyone in the castle tower. I will talk to Yuigahama-hime alone for a while."
Kamao clan glanced at Yuigahama Yui and didn't think much about it.
In her mind, Yoshigami endured humiliation and endured heavy hardships only to win over important ministers, so he did the things he had to do, but there was no need to do these things to Yuigahama Yui, a weakling.
The Kamao clan thought that your Majesty left Yuigahama Yui alone to talk in secret because he might want to ask some secrets about the Shiba Tadashi Foundation, so he didn't think much about it.
After everyone walked out of the castle tower, only Yuigahama Yui was left sitting in her seat tremblingly. She fiddled with her belt with her fingers, wondering why the master wanted to keep her.
Did you do something wrong while being a member of the government? Or is the kimono that your mother forced you to wear too gorgeous, and your Majesty hates it?
"Yui Hama Yui, come here."
Yuigahama Yui trembled all over and looked at Yoshigin weakly. The tone of the master's words seemed a bit strange.
"come over!"
Sensing Yoshigan's impatience, Yuigahama Yui bowed carefully and stood up, walking slowly to Yoshigan's desk.
Suddenly, Yiyin reached out and grabbed her wrist, scaring her so much that she almost screamed.
Yuigahama Yui looked down and saw her master's eyes were red, which was very scary. Then she felt her arm being pulled hard, and she fell into Yoshigage's arms in a daze.
Yiyin's heavy breathing hit her face, leaving her at a loss and she could only let Junshang display his skills.
