Looking at Nobushige Sanada, who has a serious and loving motherly look on his face, Yoshihiro becomes confused no matter how he looks at it.

"Someone is coming!"
"Hi!"
Naomasa Ii entered the courtyard and bowed, and Yoshigami asked casually.
"Where are the people from Pu Sheng's hometown?"
"Kamohime is arranging defenses outside the hospital."
"Well, you take this Sanada Rin down, settle her down, and then work with her at the Tongxin Secretariat."
"Hi!"
Naomasa Ii and Nobushige Sanada nodded to each other and took Rin Sanada down.
Sanada Nobushige was a bold and unruly person. Although the Sanada soldiers under her command were known as the best soldiers in the world and were regarded as sharp knives in Yoshigami's hands, their relationship with Shiba and other important ministers was generally not good.
The Kanto faction's Yukimori Yamanaka, Tomo Shima Katsura, and Asahide Okuma all had conflicts with Sanada Nobushige. Even Ozo Changan had an intention to get close to Sanada Nobushige, but he was told that he was in trouble.
Not to mention the Kinki side, in the battle at Yuwu Lake, the entire Kinki coalition was outmatched by the Sanada troops, and in the end, a horrific incident occurred where two thousand people were buried alive.
The Kinki samurai looked at the Sanada clan as if they were a group of wild beasts, and the Oda family even more feared and hated them.
All in all, Sanada Nobushige is a lone wolf that no one can avoid.
Because of this, Sanada Nobushige had a good relationship with the Doshin Secretariat around Yoshihiro.
The Tongxinzhong group in the Spo Center was originally at odds with groups in various places in Spo. This was a structural contradiction between the center and the localities.
It is rare that a thorn emerges in a local area, making all local groups uncomfortable, and the central agencies are naturally happy to see it.
The Sanada people started out with military exploits and were relatively clean themselves. Sanada Nobushige was unwilling to betray others and lived as a loner. This was the central organization's favorite example.
The Central Committee is not afraid of local martial arts families working hard to make progress, but it is afraid that local governments will cling to groups in secret and deceive their superiors. If everyone were as simple and straightforward as Sanada, I don’t know how much trouble the Tongxin Secretariat would save.
Therefore, although Nagano Yamori has been actively serving the public affairs in the Tongxinzhong Group over the years, the Tongxinzhong Group has always remained silent and ignored the issue of the Sanada Clan in Nishi Ueno.
This time, Sanada Nobushige took the initiative to turn in the hostage woman again and showed his loyalty. This is in line with the interests of the Shiba Center Doxin Group. Sanada Rin must have a good life in the Doxin Secretariat.
When Ii Naomasa left with Sanada Rin, Sanada Nobushige still refused to leave with a shy face. Yoshigan shook his head and went to the porch to sit cross-legged.
"What? What else do you want?"
Sanada Nobunshi glanced at Yoshigan with a smile, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he carefully sat cross-legged under Yoshigan's head and spoke softly.
"The saint actually doesn't need to worry too much about those in the Uesugi retainers group. These people are just talking tough. If they are really allowed to follow His Highness Uesugi to cause trouble, they don't have the confidence."
Yiyin chuckled.
"It seems that you understand them very well?"
Sanada Nobushige's image has always been that of a rough guy and a trouble maker. When has he ever looked like he has such a mastery of wisdom? It makes Yoshigan want to laugh.
Sanada Nobushige was unconvinced by Yoshigan's smile and said with a pout.
"I know that the saint thinks that I am vulgar and do not understand these complicated human ways.
But the words are rough and the reasoning is rough. Don’t believe me when I say these people are paper tigers.
The territory of the Uesugi family is nothing more than Echigo as its foundation, with Echichu, Shinano, Ueno, Shimotsu, and Musashi Province occupying some territories. The total of the bits and pieces adds up to seven or eight hundred thousand koku.
It seems that the territory is not small, the products are rich, and the millions of stone mobilization power should not be underestimated, but that is for others. For you, the Uesugi family cannot be proud of it.
You also know that I was unwilling to suffer poverty in the mountains, so I went out to do business, making some money from rare mountain goods, and had some contacts with the Echigo samurai family.
Echigo Kingdom has 400,000 koku, but those people live more comfortably than those with a million koku.
With the Naoetsu Grand Market, Echigo's green hemp, sea salt, and rice are all hard currencies that are exported to various countries. The most outrageous thing is that they also have gold and silver mines.
In the past, there was no way to fight the war. We all suffered from poverty together with our gold and silver mountains, and any money we had was spent on military expenditures.
But things are different now. The Uesugi family has followed you to get rich. The Echigo homeland has not seen war for many years, and they have long been accustomed to living a prosperous life.
The family can farm, grow hemp, mine, and boil salt with peace of mind. If you throw anything into the Naoejin market, it will be a lot of money and food!
The Uesugi family owns half of the shares in Naoetsu, enjoys preferential taxation at the customs office, has a share in logistics exchanges, and trades widely throughout the world.
In short, since you came to Echigo, there has been no difficult business and every household has become rich.
If the trouble really breaks out between the Shiba Uesugi family and the Naoetsu Market is over, and everyone is cut off, you will see if they will cry.
A poor family is like a coin broken into two halves. Those of the Uesugi family are nouveau riche who dare to spend only 250 yuan with a family fortune of 200 yuan. How can they be willing to go back and suffer poverty again?
Without you, the saint, to control the situation, can Echigo maintain its current reputation just by relying on His Highness Uesugi's rough domestic and business management?
Don't listen to Kawada Nagauchi's bragging about uniting as one and uniting with His Highness Uesugi to fight to the end. That's all bullshit to embolden himself.
As far as I know the inside story of drinking and spanking with the Echigo Takeshi, they are almost scared to death, and their knees are shaking now, fearing that their kneeling posture is not good enough and will make you angry."
Sanada Nobunaga's words were confusing, but his meaning was very clear.
It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. What's the use of Kawada's kiss and hard words? I really don't want to live the good life of the Uesugi retainers?
The economic system established by the Shiba family was mainly the Hokuriku Road trade route composed of two core strongholds, Sakai Port and Naoetsu.
Let’s not talk about Takada Haruno’s fun activities in Sakai Port, but only talk about the economic changes of the Shiba family in Kanto over the years.
The economic influence of the Kanto Shisho Office and the Samurai Giri Promotion Association controlled by Yoshigan has long surpassed that of the Uesugi family.
At that time, Naoejin was jointly managed by Naoe Keizuna and Ohkuma Asahide on behalf of the Uesugi family and the Shiba family respectively, and they jointly operated the trade route market.
But with the Uesugi family enjoying peace and quiet and the Shiba family forging ahead, Naoe Keizuna has been dragged down by his family over the years and still only maintains the distribution of interests in the Naoe Jinkan Office.
Daxiong Chaoxiu has long followed the influence of the Kanto Palace and participated in the economic operation of the eight states of Guanzhou.
Yiyin established the Kanto Shisho Office and linked it to the Wu Family Principles Promotion Association and the Wushu Association platform, and had already begun exporting capital to the eight states of Guanzhou.
On the one hand, the Wujia Yili Promotion Association provided various charitable funds to Guan Bazhou in the name of charity and coordinated the borrowings of various Tucang families.
On the other hand, the Kanto Shisho Office followed suit and established granaries, earthen warehouses, trading towns, and warehouses in various places, laying the foundation.
Through the support of the United Front, local communities, brotherhoods and other local forces on the platform of the Wushu Association, the economic forces affiliated to Yiyin can deeply participate in the economy of Guanbazhou without hindrance, and even dominate it.
And what about Naoe Keizuna? Does she have the right to invest the Uesugi family's money and food into Kanhaishu? Even if the misers of the Uesugi family suddenly become short-sighted, the Kanhachishu family does not agree.
Why do you, the Uesugi family, get on top of us and take our money from our territory?
You know, the Wu Family Ethics Promotion Association has provided a large amount of funds for study abroad, water conservancy, and relief.
There is also the low-interest loans from various land warehouses in various places obtained by Yiyin by selling its face. Under the political slogan of no war and peaceful development in Kanto, only in this way can it win the goodwill of the eight states in Guanzhou and get involved in business.
In this situation, Naoe Keizuna has been left far behind compared to Daxiong Chaoxiu and Dazo Changan.
Today's Naoetsu is no longer the cooperative relationship between the two families back then. Instead, out of political considerations, the Shiba family pulled the Uesugi family along and gave the Uesugi family a bowl of decent food.
Most of Sanada Nobushige's territory is in the mountains. In recent years, he has relied on exporting dried matsutake, kapok and other mountain specialties to maintain the territory's economy.
The Sanada people have a deep understanding of the economic changes in Naoetsu and even Kanhachishu in recent years.
Sanada Nobunshige came to see Yoshigan this time, and the think tank behind her wanted to put something into her wooden fish head so that she could show her face in front of Yoshigan.
As expected, Yiyin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded slightly.
"I've been apart for three days, and you should be impressed. You've really made a lot of progress over the years while you've been practicing military training and doing economics."
When he heard Yoshigan praising himself, the invisible tail behind Sanada Nobunshige was about to rise to the sky.
"No, no, this is what I should do. Anyway, I think the Uesugi family is fierce on the outside and weak on the inside. They don't have the guts to be serious with you, the saint.
Like a dog, the louder it barks, the more scared it becomes."
Yoshigami shook his head slightly. Sanada Nobunshige was talking nonsense again, teasing the Uesugi family full of dogs in person. This would offend others if it spread out.
But the truth is this: a dog that bites will not bark, and a dog that barks desperately will naturally not dare to bite.
But the crux of the matter still lies with Uesugi Kenshin. As long as Uesugi Kenshin refuses to let go, these barking dogs will have a backbone and can bark to make people upset.
Yiyin shook his head.
"Let's not talk about the Uesugi family. How are you? How are the Sanada family doing lately?"
Sanada Nobushige was flattered, and it was her words that scratched Yoshigami's itch, and he casually started to care about these mountain people.
Taking this opportunity, Sanada Nobushige revealed the strategic direction of the Sanada family and won the support of Yoshibank.
I saw her frowning and saying.
"The saint asked, I dare not hide it, the current situation of the Sanada people is miserable, really miserable.
When I sent troops to Kinki, I went into the mountains to recruit elite troops, and finally managed to gather 10,000 troops.
You also know what happened after that. After a hundred battles, 50% of the casualties were lost. Ten thousand people went to Kinki, and five thousand people came back. The pension alone emptied my family fortune, and I also incurred a lot of debt.
The mountain people have broken bones and connected tendons. They are all fellow villagers. Counting up, we were all one family five hundred years ago.
I swore an oath with the mountain people in front of the mountain, guaranteeing that everyone would have a good future. I couldn't break my promise to enrich myself, right? So when I came back this time, those who were alive would be rewarded for their meritorious service, and those who were dead would receive double their pensions.
But even though I tried my best to deal with the aftermath, the Sanada people were completely at a loss. Liu Niang advised me to ask for mercy from you, the saint, in the crusade against the Eastern people, and I, the Sanada people, would not participate.
It’s not that I’m stingy with the money and food for sending troops, I just want to leave some seeds for the Shiye tribe. Now every family in the mountains wears sackcloth and mourns, and too many people have died.”
Yoshigan's heart felt desolate after hearing this. In the battle at Yuwu Lake, Sanada Nobunshige and her Sanada people made great contributions.
Without the bloody battle in which more than half of the Sanada people were killed or injured, there would be no glorious victory for the Shiba family to defeat the Oda family.
But Sanada Nobunshige, a troublemaker, also made Yoshigan hate iron. How dare she carry out a massacre after the war and bury two thousand surrendered soldiers of the Oda family alive in one go. It was simply appalling.
Great achievements are followed by great mistakes. With the pressure from the Oda family outside and the opposition from the concubines internally, how can Yoshihiro increase the rewards and pensions for the Sanada people?
Sanada was brave and brave, even more arrogant than the Echigo samurai group. He was at odds with his colleagues on a daily basis and had a fierce reputation outside. Yoshigan really didn't know what to say about Sanada Nobushige.
Sanada Nobunaga saw Yoshigan in trouble and smiled calmly.
"Saints don't have to grieve for us. Mountain people are born to endure hardships. Nowadays, hardcore bookmakers who can earn two hundred spoor can make many people laugh out loud when they fall asleep at night.
It’s just... people die too hard, and everyone wants to wait for two years to have children. In addition, I also want to take more care of the affairs of the territory and fill in all the money and food owed for pensions."
Yiyin sighed.
"You are so stupid.
At the beginning, you were trying to catch the hard-nosed guy that everyone else was trying to avoid fighting with. Now when you encounter the fat guy that everyone is vying for, you can't avoid it."
Yoshigan didn't know that the Sanada people had their own plans. He just lamented that Sanada Nobushige was so stubborn that he fought in Kinki until there were mountains of blood and corpses. When it was time to return to Kanto to eat meat, he hid in the mountains and quit working.
But Sanada Nobushige spoke so frankly that Yoshigami had nothing to say. He thought for a while and said.
"If you want to leave some seeds for the Shiye clan, I will obey you. I will allow you to rest and recuperate in this war against the Eastern People.
In addition, if you have any financial difficulties, tell me, I will certainly not let the hero bleed and shed tears, and be in poverty with a lot of debt."
Sanada Nobushige smiled.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the pension I gave myself is too heavy. Anyway, I can make money by drying matsutake and kapok, so I'll pay it back gradually.
But you also know that I can easily offend people with my quick talk, and Mr. Daxiong Chaoxiu doesn't have a good relationship with me.
A while ago, Lord Dazang Changan wanted to make me rich and gave me some Tucang loan quotas. I didn't have the capital to participate, so I refused.
This matter seems to have misunderstood Master Dazang Changan again.
Hey, I’m not afraid of them, but the land in the mountains is barren, and exporting souvenirs has to deal with everyone before they can be shipped out to make money, so I’m afraid that someone will block the channel.”
Yiyin sighed.
"You are just a wild monkey who doesn't know the heights of the world. You have to poke anyone, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable all over, right?
Forget it, I will say hello to Da Xiong Chaoxiu and Da Zang Changan.
Meritorious ministers are not allowed to be idle. You are not willing to cause trouble to the master's family. You manage the territory carefully and care for the retainers. This is an act of loyalty to the emperor.
If anyone dares to cause trouble for you in a small section, he or she is in trouble with me. You can submit a letter yourself and I will make the decision for you.
But I’ve made it clear to you, I’m just protecting you from being bullied, don’t go back and offend anyone and bully someone again, and take care of your bad temper.”
The two of them were sitting cross-legged on the porch, Yoshigami spoke softly and thoughtfully for Sanada Nobunaga, which made Sanada Nobunaga's eyes turn red.
Looking at Yoshigan's handsome and slightly tired face, Sanada Nobushige was filled with guilt.
Everything she said in front of Yiyin today was planned by the think tank behind her, specifically to clear her relationship with Da Xiong Chaoxiu and Da Zang Changan, and focus on her own development.
If there is a problem with the Kanto economy in the future, it will have nothing to do with Sanada Nobushige who closed down his business. She will be the cleanest person available.
However, the calculation behind Sanada Nobunaga's backhand, and the sincere sympathy of Yoshihiro, immediately made Sanada Nobunaga feel ashamed.
The saint truly cares for himself, but he is calculating every step just to get on the saint's bed. How despicable is this.
After a long while, Sanada Nobushige finally couldn't bear it anymore and said.
"saint!"
"Um?"
"You...you...Master Daxiong Chaoxiu and Master Dazo Changan are loyal to you, but the people below sometimes do things that are really unreliable and always cause a lot of trouble.
It's really not easy for you..."
Sanada Nobushige didn't know what to say. She couldn't sell out Umino Riichi, Miyoshi Seikai and others who really helped her plan. There were many things she couldn't say and couldn't explain clearly. She could only hesitate.
Yiyin obviously gave her the wrong answer and glared at her instead.
"You still have the nerve to talk to others? If you can promise to calm down a little, I will be much more relaxed.
In short, I am sure that the Sanada people will need to rest and recuperate in the past two years. If you have financial difficulties, just write to me. As long as you don't mess around, everything will be fine."
A light flashed in Sanada Nobunaga's eyes.
"Obata Nobuzada, will you also follow me?"
Yiyin frowned.
"What do you want to do again?"
Sanada Nobunaga said frankly.
"Saint, back then I had a dark heart. I reached into the land of Nishi Ueno and joined forces with Nobusada Kohata to drive away Nagano Yamori. I was the one who did Meng Lang and I should be punished.
In order to punish me, you only gave me the right to garrison troops to stay in Nishi Ueno on the pretext of guarding against the Takeda family of Toshin.
Now that the Takeda family has joined the Kanto Palace, my existence in the West Ueno land is becoming more and more embarrassing. You have to find a way out for me, right?
It is better for me, Sanada Nobushige, and more than 200 Shiba retainers behind me to look after Nishi Ueno for you, rather than those outsiders like Nobata Nobusada who sit on the fence and watch."
Yoshigan looked at the pitiful Sanada Nobushige and fell into deep thought.
Sanada Nobushige's territory, Matsushiro and Azuma's territory were officially endorsed by Yoshigan, so there was no question of title, but it was only a mere 10,000 koku.
Just saying that the performance of the Sanada people in turning the tide in the battle of Yuwu Lake was more than ten thousand koku. It is not too much to use this to make Sanada Nobushige's request to formally annex Nishi Ueno.
Below Sanada Nobushige, there are more than 200 people in the Shiba family's official establishment, and they are all members of the family.
Theoretically, the Sanada Territory is no longer a foreign domain, but one of the Shiba Territories under the jurisdiction of the Kanto Shiba Territory. Shima Katsuki is Sanada Nobushige's direct boss.
Then, the people of the semi-independent Nishi Ueno Country like Nobusada Obata would be dazzling.
Spo Territory is the core territory of the Spo family, and it is a beacon for enjoying various welfare policies of the Spo family. How can there be any reason to let outsiders take advantage of it, fail to fulfill their obligations, and play both sides?
If Obata Nobuzada actively participated in the Battle of Shiba-Oda and achieved military exploits, Yoshigan would naturally have some concerns.
But since Obata Nobusada and Nishi Ueno were not active at the critical moment, then Sanada Nobuhige volunteered himself to look after the Nishi Ueno land for the Shiba family, so he can speak out with confidence.
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"We still have to focus on unity."
Sanada Nobushige replied.
"Don't worry, Saint, I will naturally actively unite Xiaoban Xinzhen and won't embarrass you."
Yiyin nodded.
"Your two territories, Matsushiro and Azuma, are included in the Kanto Shiba Territory and enjoy the treatment of the Shiba Territory.
As for Nishijono... you will control and guide the Nishijono people to see the effects."
Sanada Nobushige was overjoyed and kowtowed to the ground.
"Thank you, saint."
It seems that Yoshigan did not agree to Sanada Nobunaga's request, but in fact it gave her a great convenience.
In terms of title, Sanada Nobushige finally officially became the leader of the Nishigami clan.
With this, she got rid of the embarrassment of being temporarily stationed, and no longer needed to bribe the Nishigami nomads headed by Obata Nobusada to gain their support.
Furthermore, Matsushiro and Azuma are included in the Kanto Shiba Territory, and the Shiba family's new life movement and Sanbai diet will have benefits from both places in the future.
In order to create a lighthouse image, Yiyin has made great efforts to improve the living standards of Spurling.
The three-white diet of white rice, white radish, and white tofu has had an extremely shocking psychological impact on the poor samurai families around Sibo who could not afford to eat rice bran.
When the Higashi Musashi samurai heard that the land of Higashi Musashi was dedicated to a saint, they all cheered for joy. They didn't even care about the tragic death of Yasushi Ota, a famous family member.
The same is true for Sanada Nobushige.
The fact that Matsushiro and Azuma joined the Kanto Shiba Territory gave a hint to the local samurai group in Nishi Ueno.
As long as they are willing to surrender to Sanada Nobushige, they may join the Shiba Territory along with the Sanada Territory. What a great temptation this is.
With the beautiful life of white rice, white radish, and white tofu beckoning ahead, who can still be calm? Can Kobata Nobuzada still be able to control these impetuous Nishi Ueno samurai family as before?
With a smooth push, Yoshihiro immediately helped Sanada Nobunshige solve many problems that many people were dissatisfied with. Sanada Nobunshige was truly grateful.
Thinking that the sage was wholeheartedly helping him, but that he had concealed many thoughts from the sage, Sanada Nobushige felt so guilty that he banged his head on the wooden board of the porch, breaking it into two pieces in an instant.
Yiyin looked confused. He looked at the red spots on her head and then at the two-half wooden board. He didn't know what to say.
