The Yuliang family knows how to advance and retreat, knows the rules, and does not dare to covet the dignity of the divine descendant. Thinking of getting closer to Yiyin, just asking for an adopted daughter and adopted son is considered half-assed.
Yiyin is also happy with this.
Although the Tonegawa Midstream Samurai Group headed by the Ryo family has some strength, it is not yet strong enough for Yoshigan to take it seriously.
However, lack of military strength does not mean that it has no political value.
The Wushu Association, a platform for coordinating political positions among Wushu families in eight states, came from the small and medium-sized forces in these places.
The earliest Wushu Association was a communication platform that assisted the Wu Jiayi Promotion Association to communicate with middle and lower-class villages and implement charity.
The communication tools are United Front, Local Crowd, and Brotherhood, and later the Blue Clothes Crowd, a student organization studying in Spurling, will be added.
The groups spontaneously formed in these places represent the political goals of the upper, middle and lower classes of martial arts, strengthen communication, reduce friction, and develop the economy in harmony.
The political program put forward by Yi Yin is the new wave of ideas advocating peaceful development. He strongly supports the Wushu Association, a political communication platform for harmonious coexistence.
The starting point of the Wushu Association was from the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River. Yuyoshi Shigeru was an active member of the local community in the Wushu Association, and Monk Miaoin was the representative figure of the brotherhood.
This old couple has considerable influence and is self-aware. They always cooperate with Yiyin's political goals and reap some political benefits for themselves.
Yiyin is willing to maintain friendly relations with this sensible Wu family group to show its political image of caring for the middle and lower classes.
You must know that there is a certain amount of food in the world. If the Spo family eats more, other families will definitely eat less.
It is impossible for Yiyin to bribe all the martial arts families because the poor material conditions of this island country do not allow it!
He advocated economic development, basically to maintain the rule of the Spo family.
Yiyin has shouted the slogan of peaceful development loudly, but it cannot solve the reality of insufficient food.
Therefore, he built his own ruling class with the Divine Group as the core and Si Bo as his minions.
Then use the peripheral Kanto Palace, the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, the Martial Arts Association and other organizations to share a piece of the pie with the Samurai group who took the lead in defecting to them.
This is a big show of buying horse bones with thousands of gold, and it is a big cake painted for the martial arts all over the world.
Yiyin can't make all the martial arts families rich. But he can pretend that he has been working hard, not currently working hard, but on the way to working hard.
Let some of the Wu family first become rich along with the Sibo family, and then trick the coveted juniors into working hard in the Wu family.
Let me go back and promote a few examples for everyone to see. As long as you follow the Spo family sincerely, the Spo family will definitely let you live a good life.
In this medieval island country that lacked material, productivity was seriously insufficient, and the goal of food for everyone could not be achieved, but it could still be achieved by giving everyone a hope and a picture.
Theocratic power itself is a religious anesthetic. Since material life cannot be guaranteed, one must seek spiritual sustenance.
Xin Sibo, you have enough to eat, hey.
The Shiba lighthouse will never burn out, and the Shiba leader warriors are delicious and delicious. We have to bring out a few examples in the periphery to prove that it is true that if you follow the Shiba family, you will get meat.
And this group headed by Liangjia is the publicity board chosen by Yiyin.
When the life of the Wu family group that follows the Sibo family gets better and better, the Wu family from poor areas will naturally come over to wash dishes, earn money, and even yell at their poor relatives.
What's wrong with being a dog for the Spo family?
Sibo Shenquan will also become more and more powerful under the protection of these peripheral martial arts groups, becoming an existence that the martial arts in the world look up to.
Yiyin looked at Miaoyin Monk and smiled.
"Kai-kun is extremely intelligent and beautiful, and Kagetora Uesugi is a blessed person.
I will personally discuss this matter with Uesugi-dono, and I will never wrong Kai-kun."
Monk Miaoyin was overjoyed and led the child to kowtow to the ground in gratitude.
"Thank you, saint, for your great kindness."
Yiyin waved his hands and pretended to be angry.
"They are all my adopted sons and daughters, and we are all part of the same family. You can't say anything outsiders."
Monk Miaoyin laughed so hard that wrinkles formed on his face and he couldn't even see his eyes. He nodded and said with a silly smile.
"The sage said, one family, hehe, one family."
The two of them looked at each other, smiled, raised their glasses and drank, and their relationship became closer again.
———
In the twelfth lunar month, the cold wind in the mountains is far worse than outside the mountains.
At the same time that Yoshigan was being warmly received by the Yuyoshi family of Kanayama Castle, Sanada Nobushige in Nishi Ueno Minawa Castle Nebutu was about to lose his temper.
In the residence hall, only one brazier was lit, and the monarch and his ministers were surrounding the brazier and talking.
On one side sat Nobushige Sanada and her most trusted friend Riichi Umino, and on the other side sat Miyoshi Seikai and Miyoshi Izo, sisters of the same race who became monks.
And Sanada Rin, the newly adopted daughter of Sanada Nobushige, gave four people hot water before and after running.
Looking at a tea stem floating in the cup, Miyoshi Kiyomi smiled slightly.
She knew that Sanada Nobushige came to her today to ask questions, but this wild monkey governor was also quite interesting. He was a pot of fire and tea stems. Is this a show of crying about poverty?
Umino Riichi casually put down the tea cup and watched Sanada Nobushige take a sip seriously. It was delicious. He was really deeply involved in the play, as if he was wearing a crown after a monkey. It was really ridiculous.
Sanada Nobushige didn't know that the Hongmen Banquet he had thought up with so much brainpower had turned into a monkey show in the eyes of a few people, and they were still sighing.
"After years of war, this landlord's family has no food left. Don't blame Master Qinghai and Master Yisan.
It’s not that I don’t want to entertain you two well, it’s just that the money and food on the books are getting less and less, and I can’t make ends meet. In this winter, my lord is also short of firewood and tea, so there is really no way.”
Sanhao Qinghai bowed slightly and praised.
"My Lord is diligent and thrifty, and I admire him."
Sanada Nobushige's face twitched, and Miyoshi Isan wanted to laugh in her heart.
When Miyoshi Seikai was in Kinki, he served as Miyoshi Nagakei's assistant, battled wits and courage with Matsunaga Hide, and fought against Yoshihiro Shiba. What big scenes have we not seen?
Sanada Nobunshige's over-the-top teasing is really a bit off-grade and not worth mentioning.
Even Sanada Rin, who was serving tea and serving water next to him, couldn't help but let out a sneer.
Sanada Nobushige looked at his adopted daughter Rin angrily.
"What's so funny?"
Rin shook her head.
"Forgive me, adoptive mother, but I suddenly thought of something funny and I couldn't help myself. I'm really sorry."
Seeing Rin talking nonsense in a serious manner, and acting better than himself, Sanada Nobushige became more and more confused and simply pointed out the topic.
"Master Qinghai, after a busy year, the Sanada people have finally gained a lot.
Although many people from each family died, no one complained. The saint provided sufficient pensions and staff, and everyone was only grateful, and their spirits became even stronger.
It’s just that I’m living this life, always thinking about getting better day by day. I still have a lot of things to do next year, and I need money and food in many places.
But it's better for you to cut yourself off and push out the vain money. It really surprises me.
You don’t want the loan from the Wujia Yili Promotion Association, you don’t want to pay out the loan share, and you don’t do any related business, and you push everything out.
Before the Battle of Shiba Oda, it was you who allowed me to establish a good relationship with Ozo Changan, ensuring that she became a non-permanent member of the Standing Council, and killed that bastard Daxiong Chaoxiu.
Now that the matter is done, Dazang Changan reciprocates the favor and wants to give me some benefits and let me get a share of the Wu family moral promotion association. But you insist on not accepting it, and you must distance yourself from her.
It's very difficult for me to do this.
If you don't even take the money or food from my pocket, Dazang Chang'an will doubt my thoughts and become estranged from me."
Nobushige Sanada is a wild monkey in the mountains. Even if Yoshihiro Shiba is willing to look at him differently and give him some resources, he is still limited.
She was able to grow rapidly in five or six years, conquer the martial arts family in the mountains, and establish herself as the best soldier in Sanada, so she certainly has real abilities.
Sanada Nobushige is the kind of boss who seems to be uneducated, but is sincere, honest, and willing to give trust and stage to talented people.
Although her actions may be ridiculous, she is shameless and loses face, listens to advice but also gives in. She can withstand pressure at critical moments and is willing to give everyone some benefits.
All in all, she is not a wise leader of the martial arts family in the traditional sense, but a charming sister leader.
Miyoshi Seikai was very happy to work under Sanada Nobunige, and he was straightforward about everything. When the Kinki Miyoshi family was at its most glorious, it was not as candid as the Sanada sisters and other sisters.
Because of this, Miyoshi Kiyomi was very strict in everything he did. He never considered Sanada Nobushige's face, but only considered it harmful and beneficial to Sanada people.
Sanada Nobushige didn't know anything about economics, and the development and management of the territory was almost left to the two Miyoshi sisters. And with Umino Riichi, the Miyoshi, keeping an eye on the key points with a cold face, she was happy to be the boss.
If Miyoshi Kiyomi came back to talk about other matters, Sanada Nobushige would just smile and let it go.
But this time, Miyoshi Seikai vetoed the cooperation with the Samurai Giri Promotion Association. That was a huge sum of money, and it was a gift package given to Sanada Nobushige by Ozo Changan in return.
Don’t you want the benefits that are delivered to your door? Sanada people are not rich themselves, so of course Sanada Nobushige has to ask clearly, which is why today’s pretending to be poor and complaining comes about.
Faced with Sanada Nobushige's misfortune, Miyoshi Sekai just smiled and pushed back.
"The battle between Shiba and Oda did allow the Sanada people to gain enough face and benefits, but the price was not small.
Lord, you should know very well how many sisters we have died in the war and how much compensation we have paid.
If money and food are scarce, you can think of ways to make more. But after a person dies, it takes a long time to wait for new children to grow up.
The old blood of the Sanada people has been shed, but the new blood has not yet been born. The Lord will go to war again next year? Do you want to participate in the crusade against the Eastern people and win more territory back?
But even if we conquer a new territory, will anyone from Sanada take it? In the end, won’t those so-called allies inside and outside Nishijouno be advantaged?”
Sanada Nobushige also knew that she was eager for quick success and quick gain in doing things, but the fire in her heart just couldn't be extinguished. If she couldn't work hard to become a saint in this life, what was the difference between herself and a salted fish?
She reluctantly retorted.
"Master Ching Hai is right, but I am also responding to the saint's call to fight against the unjust."
Miyoshi Sekai looked at the embarrassed Sanada Nobushige with a smile and said.
"Among the martial arts families in the world, the warrior Ji who is willing to go through fire and water for the saint wholeheartedly, my lord, is considered to be among the best. He is indeed valuable."
Sanada Nobushige curled his lips.
"It's just our duty to be loyal to the king. We are also Shiba's retainers now. What's wrong with being loyal to the saint?"
Miyoshi Qinghai nodded.
"It is naturally right to be loyal to the saint. Even if you want to give birth to a divine descendant for the saint and raise a divine son, it is also a sign of loyalty to your ministers.
It's a pity that, looking at it, the Ji warriors who can become the guests of the saint are just a few important ministers of the Shiba family, or powerful vassals worth more than 500,000 dan who need to be appeased and won over.
Thinking about it this way, one hundred thousand koku in Nishi Ueno is indeed not enough, but even if we get tens of thousands more koku in the war against injustice, it will not help.
Whether it is the Kanto Palace or the Shiba family, your lord, this new rich man, is very popular, but after all, you lack some background.
Compared with the closeness, he is not as good as Yamanaka, Shima and other ministers. Compared with the strength, he is not as good as Takeda, Uesugi and other feudal lords. The upper limit has been reached for the upstarts who can neither rise nor fall."
Umino Ri raised his head and took a closer look at Miyoshi Seikai, and Miyoshi Izo next to him looked even more horrified. Neither of them expected that Miyoshi Seikai would directly reveal Sanada Nobushige's concerns.
Sanada Nobunaga's face turned blue and red.
She was still pretending to be loyal to the emperor, but her face was torn off by Miyoshi Chinghai in public. When she opened it, she saw clearly only four big characters written inside, "I want to kill the saint."
I, Sanada Nobushige, have no face! Why did you say it in public?
She snorted coldly and said.
"I'm here to talk to you about the money and food business of the Wu Family Giri Promotion Association. What are you talking about with me? It's inexplicable!"
Sanada Nobushige wanted to change the topic, but Miyoshi Sekai didn't let her go and said directly.
"Am I wrong?
The Lord values money and food, and wants to raise more military resources. Isn't it because he wants to become a god, but because he is greedy to get tens of thousands of new dans?
If Your Majesty thinks that I have made a mistake or distorted my thinking, then I will immediately apologize to you and never think about it again!"
Sanada Nobushige grimaced. She didn't expect Miyoshi Kiyomi to be so aggressive. She hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and admitted.
"Master Ching Hai is right. I just want to give birth to a child for the saint, and I just want to achieve the status of the Sanada family, the descendants of the gods."
Miyoshi Qinghai looked pleased and bowed.
"I have spoken harshly, and I beg your lord to forgive me. Your lord has lofty ambitions and an open mind, and I admire you for that.
If you have great ambitions, can clearly understand your goals, and tell our ministers frankly, you and your ministers will work together to achieve it, and I will be blessed to serve under you."
Sanada Nobushige curled his lips and looked at Umino Riichi next to him.
Okay, give me a stick first, and then a red date. How come Miyoshi Seikai is now giving advice in exactly the same way as Umino Riichi?
Could it be that the following ministers have figured out their own tempers and can always control themselves until they have no temper?
Sanada Nobushige said weakly.
"Master Ching Hai, if you have anything to say, please speak directly.
I knew I was dreaming. I climbed too fast and had reached the limit acceptable to a saint.
As you said, compared to those cronies, compared to those powerful vassals, I am neither high nor low, standing in the middle, there is no chance."
Miyoshi Qinghai shook his head and said.
"Opportunities are only given to those who are prepared.
You can no longer climb up, but that doesn't mean others can't fall down. There are only a few positions above, and how many pairs of eyes are staring at them.
Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes.
I think your current position is just right. As long as you work hard in your own territory, you will make no mistakes. But when others climb higher and are pushed along by the waves, it is difficult not to make mistakes."
Sanada Nobushige was stunned and asked.
"Master Ching Hai, why do you say this?"
Miyoshi Qinghai sneered.
"Money and food are alluring. Maybe one day, the saint will ask for your help to clean up the whole mess."
