Chapter 1810 It’s too difficult to be a conscientious person
The strength of the Mogami family is not weak, and Yoshimitsu Mogami loves Koma-kun. If the tragedy in history had not happened, the samurai family name who married Koma-kun would have definitely gained the friendship and support of the Mogami family.
Although Kenshin Uesugi is a good mother who loves her daughter and is good at fighting, her political methods are too rough and loser.
Although Miyuki was just a baby girl now, she was held in Uesugi Kenshin's arms every day, and he was quite speechless watching her handle the government affairs.
It would be better to put a dog in Uesugi Kenshin's position and rule by doing nothing than to have Uesugi Kenshin take charge personally. At least the dog will not hold back.
Miyuki could only sigh that if he was tough with his fists, he could not bring down the family business even though he was doing this nonsense. This shows that Kenshin Uesugi's own military qualities are really strong.
Sometimes I just can't stand it anymore, and Miyuki wants to get up and help the cheap old lady in this life deal with it. It's not that she's so idle, she just can't stand it anymore.
By now, Miyuki has realized something.
This mother-in-law loves him, but apart from being able to fight, she can't count on anything else. If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you have to rely on yourself, and you can't rely on her.
Miyuki knew that Uesugi Kenshin was arrogant and felt that Mogami was not worthy of his noble daughter, but Miyuki felt that Mogami was quite good.
Especially today, Miyuki was even more moved when she saw the young shota of the Mogami family who was carved in pink and jade.
She knew best that this little boy would not grow crooked and would grow up to be a handsome boy. She couldn't help but drool overflowing from the corners of his mouth, hissing.
If that's the case, why don't you accept it? You can also get a good mother-in-law who is both wise and courageous and loves her son. This is not a loss no matter what.
Miyuki's thoughts surged like a flood, but the reality only passed by in an instant.
Just when Koma-kun offered tea soup, Uesugi Kenshin shook his head and was about to refuse, and Mogami Yoshimitsu could accept this reality in his heart, something unexpected happened on the scene.
I saw Miyuki in Uesugi Kenshin's arms, suddenly reaching out and grabbing Koma-kun's finger offering tea.
The two-year-old child couldn't hold his wrist at all, so he just leaned forward and held on to one of Ju Jun's fingers. Ju Jun didn't dare to struggle, so he could only look back at his mother for help.
Mogami Yoshimitsu was also stunned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, and subconsciously looked at Uesugi Kenshin.
Uesugi Kenshin's face turned red. She had previously made such nonsense in front of Honjo Mino and Naoe Keizuna, saying that the Mogami family was too high for their precious daughter.
But now, my precious daughter is holding on to my son's finger and refusing to let go. Isn't this a slap in the face?
Uesugi Kenshin's face froze, and he glanced at Honjo Minoru and Naoe Keetsuna who were sitting next to him.
The two old foxes stared intently at the bowls of tea soup served by the tea man, with expressions of admiration on their faces. They seemed to be still immersed in the tea art performance that had just ended and had not yet recovered.
Uesugi Kenshin secretly cursed that old people have become wiser, coughed, and said to Miyuki softly.
"My dear daughter, let go of your hands, okay?"
Seeing Uesugi Kenshin's embarrassed face, Miyuki couldn't help but feel a sense of revenge in her heart.
In the past two days, Miyuki had been tormented a lot by Uesugi Kenshin, who had reunited after a long absence.
Ever since this mother-in-law came back, she has never been at peace. She was either kissing or hugging her. Miyuki, the little baby girl, pretended to be so desperate.
Now, it can be regarded as retribution.
Kenshin Uesugi doesn't like his future son-in-law, but Miyuki just won't let him go. Anyway, I have a crush on him.
Uesugi Kenshin looked even more embarrassed when he saw Miyuki ignoring him.
What does a little baby know? It just acts on instinct. She thought for a moment and simply reached out to untie Miyuki's finger that was holding Koma-kun.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Uesugi Kenshin's hand touched, Miyuki began to cry loudly. Uesugi Kenshin was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hands and hugged his daughter to comfort her.
Koma-kun's finger was still held by Miyuki, and it was shaking with Uesugi Kenshin's movements, and the scene was very funny.
Mogami Yoshimitsu suppressed a smile. She really didn't expect that her son would be so lucky.
Regardless of whether the baby girl grasped her son's hand unconsciously, or whether she saw the beautiful little brother and refused to let go, the Uesugi family finally tied the knot.
The baby girl in Uesugi Kenshin's arms is no ordinary mortal. She is the eldest daughter of a saint, a descendant of gods, and the heart of the famous Uesugi family.
The more Yoshimitsu Mogami thought about it, the happier he became, and the smile on his lips could almost curl up uncontrollably.
No matter how good you are at licking the saint, the matter will never come to the fore, and it will be far worse than your son being caught by the saint's daughter and your love will be sealed.
The future of the Mogami family is becoming more and more stable.
———
Uesugi Kenshin failed to calculate his daughter's love for Koma-kun, so he was thrown into a panic by a tea party, and he didn't know how to end it.
At the beginning of winter, the weather turned cold. In Sunfu Castle in Suruga Province, Tokaido, Yoshigan Shiba stayed for a few days, watching the Suruga people pay true allegiance to the Imagawa clan and rebuild the relationship between monarch and minister.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that both the monarch and his ministers are hostile to each other.
The Imagawa clan was defeated by Takeda Shingen and was driven out of the Suruga Kingdom. The biggest reason was that the Suruga clan was betrayed by Takeda Shingen and turned against them before the battle.
Trust is like a mirror, it is easy to break, but trying to heal it as before is just a dream.
Except for a few retainers such as Asahina Taito who followed him when he wandered around, the Imagawa clan could no longer trust the former Imagawa Erchen.
The Surugas also knew that the Imagawa clan could not truly trust them, but they were already desperate.
The samurai family in Suntō was capricious, jumping between Takeda Shingen and Hojo Ujimasa, and neither side was happy with them. The samurai family in Sunfu Castle connected with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and even suffered the butcher's knife of Takeda Shingen.
Before Takeda Shingen withdrew from Suruga Country, he had already eliminated a group of people.
The Hojo clan withdrew from Jundong County and purged a group of people.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was afraid that the saint would misunderstand him, so he took the initiative to cut off his secret relationship with the Suruga clan.
The current Suruga people are orphans in troubled times who have no father to care for and no mother to love them. They know that the Imagawa clan is really wary of them, but they can only shamelessly kneel down.
In the final analysis, the current Suruga Kingdom is a political product protected by the saint and the three Takeda, Hojo and Tokugawa families retreated.
The Imagawa clan is really not important, nor are the Suruga clan, the will of the saint is the most important.
The Tokaido trade route has more advantages than the Hokurikudo trade route. If we live in peacetime, Tokaido will definitely overtake the Hokuriku Road and become the main logistics channel in Kanto and Kansai.
It stands to reason that Yiyin should start planning to reopen the Tokaido trade route at this time.
Instead of waiting for peace and passively watching the economic recovery of the Tokaido trade route, it is better for the Shiba family to lead this process and obtain the maximum benefit from it.
But Yiyin was unable to take action for the moment, for two reasons.
First, regarding the reopening of the Tokaido trade route, Takada Yono of Sakai Port had objections and asked for a delay.
Sakai Port is the most important port city in the eastern section of the Seto Inland Sea. The foreign trade of island countries enters from Kyushu Island, passes through Shimonoseki, and then reaches Sakai Port and transfers to the domestic trade market.
In other words, Sakai Port is an internal and external transshipment hub and the main force for Kinki caravans to transport logistics to Kanto.
Today's island country is no longer the island country in ancient times. It was self-sufficient under the manor economy in the early days and did not require too many commodity transactions.
With the collapse of the manor economy, Kansai, which had an advantage in foreign trade, became extremely active in the commodity economy and has undergone tremendous changes.
Coupled with the social turmoil during the war, class solidification was broken to a certain extent. Various martial arts lords began to pursue reforms to become stronger, and developing commercial profits became the consensus of each family's policy.
In terms of economic development, Kanto has always lagged behind Kansai, leaving a large number of manor economic characteristics.
Productivity determines production relations, and the economic base determines the superstructure.
The contradiction between the Kansai people and the Kanto people is not only a contradiction between ancient rural areas, but also a contradiction between economic changes and the backlash of the ruling structure.
With the development of the commodity economy, the binding force of land on people will inevitably weaken. This is a very big impact on the feudal rule that relies on land to restrain manpower.
The essence of the samurai regime is the shogunate system, which is a small-scale peasant economy under the ownership of land by the shogun and daimyo lords.
As the ruling class, the Wu family owned the most valuable means of production in the agricultural era, land.
As a labor force, farmers managed the land, paid taxes, and performed labor services, which formed the financial foundation of the Wu family's regime.
All rule relies on violence to maintain power, and violence requires financial support.
The war-torn island country has stood at a crossroads of economic development. Should it go back to the closed old path of the manor economy, or embrace the emerging path of maritime trade?
To put it simply, it is about whether to close the country and continue the old economic cycle of the shogunate system.
If the Wu family finally chooses to close themselves off, they will be able to gain the wealth and glory of a few people, and the Wu family will be under the rule for two hundred years, until the black ship attacks and they are forced to look up to the new world.
The economic direction of all this depends on whether the sustainable development of front-line maritime trade in Hakata Port, Shimonoseki, and Sakai Port will be forcibly interrupted by the rulers of the Wu family.
The Kanto samurai may be able to use force to change the social order, but under the impact of the commodity economy, the backward Kanto market has always been passively accepting dumping from Kansai.
Therefore, whether the Tokaido trade route can be completed or not depends on the attitude of Sakai Port.
Yono Takada of Sakai Port had reservations about the Tokaido Trading Road, because the stock price of the Hokuriku Road Trading Road had been turbulent due to rumors of the reopening of the Tokaido Trading Road.
Takada Haruno complained bitterly in the written document, saying that her efforts to maintain the stability of the stock value of Hokurikudo Trading Road were no longer enough.
If the Tokaido Trade Route is opened at this time, it will inevitably cause a collapse in the stock price of the Hokuriku Trade Route.
It would be best to wait and find a way to merge the Tokaido Trading Line into the Hokuriku Road Trading Line stock and then reorganize it into the Kanto-Kansai Trading Line stock to minimize the economic impact of the reopening of the Tokaido Trading Line.
Yoshihiro could only accept what Takada Harano said.
Yiyin is very clear about why Hokurikudo Shoro's stock is trading sideways at a high level. It is the result of Yono Takada's deliberate speculation and then cashing out, and the funds for cashing out have been used up in the Battle of Shiba Oda.
Two million stone in military expenses, two million stone in reward, such a large amount of money and food, Takada Yono gritted his teeth and took it out. It is normal to leave some financial sequelae.
Takada Yoshino is very capable and has ensured that there are no major problems with the food stamp system. This has made Yi Bank very satisfied, and Yi Bank is naturally willing to listen to her opinions.
But what Yoshibank didn't know was that Takada Yono was waiting for the right time to proactively burst the bubble, create a financial crisis, evaporate outsiders' funds, and thereby eliminate all liabilities.
The reorganization of the two trade routes, Hokkaido and Tokaido, will only exist as a rescue after the financial crisis and be released as extremely good news.
Yoshigan, who didn't know the truth, was still stupid and embarrassed. He didn't know how much trouble Takada Yono had in his heart, and he would almost collapse the Kanto economy in the future.
This is the first reason why Yiyin decided not to reopen the Tokaido trade route for the time being. As for the second reason, it was because of Uesugi Kenshin.
Yoshigan has been avoiding Uesugi Kenshin, not out of fear, but out of love.
Kenshin Uesugi has paid so much for him. The Shiba family is now at its peak in Kanto, which is inseparable from the full support of Kenshin Uesugi.
Uesugi Kenshin's support for Yoshiyin has gone beyond the understanding of the Wu family. It is too insulting to say that you are a dog licker, but it is true to say that you are heartfelt.
Yoshigan's biggest weakness is that he still has a conscience. He went too far when he deceived Uesugi Kenshin, and now he feels guilty for Uesugi Kenshin.
Uesugi Kenshin shared the family business with him, gave birth to his children, and their love was as strong as gold. However, in order to complete the system tasks, Yoshihiro deceived her again and again.
People's hearts are made of flesh. After all, Yiyin is not a perfect political animal. No matter how awesome the cheat is, he is just an ordinary modern person and cannot be as ruthless as an excellent emperor.
Returning to Kanto this time, Yoshigan and Uesugi Kenshin have already had frictions over many things.
Once the Tokaido trade route is reopened, the Hokuriku Road trade route will inevitably be affected, and the unique economic status of the Kanto region where Naoejin Pass is located will be shaken immediately.
Naoetsu is a model of win-win cooperation between the Shiba family and the Uesugi family, and is also a landmark achievement of Echigo's dual politics.
With the Tokaido trade route reopened and the market restructured, Sunpu Castle will definitely eat up Naoetsu's economic share.
The Shiba family dominates the Tokaido trade route, and even if the Hokuriku trade route is damaged, the economic strength of the Shiba family will not be affected.
But Uesugi Kenshin is different.
Naoetsu is not only a cargo handling port and distribution market, but also the ballast stone for the political stability of Hokkaido.
Uesugi Kenshin united the Noto Vietnamese and Chinese samurai families in Hokuriku to fight against the Oda family. Where did her confidence come from? It was the huge benefits of the Hokuriku trade route that tied everyone into one rope!
After the Hokurikudo battle was over, Yoshinobu was on the back foot. What would the samurai families of Vietnam, China and Noto think? How would they view Uesugi Kenshin?
The chief priest of Echu, Nagasaki, is seriously ill and has the tendency to completely surrender and integrate into the Uesugi family.
If Yiyin reopens the Tokaido trade route at this time, it will not only jeopardize the interests of the samurai family along the Hokuriku Road, but also tell everyone that the relationship between the Shiba Uesugi family has turned cold.
The political cost of Kenshin Uesugi's control of Hokuriku would suddenly rise. This would be a real stab in the back to the Uesugi family.
Before properly handling the relationship with Kenshin Uesugi, Yoshihiro really does not want to go to war and create new conflicts.
Takada Yoshino's plea actually made Yoshigan secretly sigh in relief.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. Just the reopening of the Tokaido trade route has a wide range of implications, which makes Yiyin feel exhausted.
He stayed in Sunfu Castle for several days, and the Imagawa family mentioned the Tokaido trade route several times, but he suppressed the discussion on the grounds that the time was not ripe.
After all the Suruga people pledged their allegiance and the Imagawa family's true ministers secured Suruga Castle, Yoshigan continued on his way to Kinki.
