Terutora Uesugi turned her eyes to Fujitsu Nakajo, and she shook her head slightly.
Honjō Shimachō could not kill her openly, and she could not come forward to testify and characterize the rebellion.
This is the tacit understanding within the Yangbei Zhong as a group. Each can find a way out, but if you push your own people to death, you will not be able to behave in the future.
Although Uesugi Teruhora was disappointed, he also admired the cunning of Honjo Shigejo, and laughed and cursed.
"You are not a rebel, so why did you mobilize the army to leave the territory? You said petition? What vision requires so many people to come together to petition me?
Come on, explain it to me carefully and let me see how you made it up?"
Uesugi Teruhora's words were joking, and Honjo Shigenaga breathed a sigh of relief. At least it showed that His Highness had no murderous intentions, which was great.
Yiyin also looked at her with interest.
With exquisite facial features, slim figure, clear articulation, and a calm mind, he is in his prime of life around 20 years old. This Honzo Fanchang is very good.
Being watched by two family governors, it was impossible for her not to panic. However, the Zhuang family's status in the Yangbei community was still intact. It was up to her to see if she could survive today's wave. She could only persist.
Fanchang of this village fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Last year there was a severe snowstorm and there was not enough food to last until the summer harvest. We came to China and Vietnam to beg the governor for mercy and reduce the military and food service."
Teruhora Uesugi's lips froze, "Honjo Shigenaga really dares to say that."
Echigo's tax burden was imposed on six public officials and four citizens, but some of the unruly people in the Yangbei tribe made trouble again and again and were punished for the harsh rule of seven public officials and three civilians.
We are all fellow villagers, so we can be punished, but if we really starve people to death, it cannot be justified.
The people from the north went south to beg for food and spoke so pitifully that Uesugi Teruhora was speechless for a moment.
Since ancient times, the world is vast, and eating is the most important thing. You can do anything to eat, and you will be forgiven.
Although it was taboo for Honjo Shimonaga to leave the country with his troops, if it was to avoid starving to death, it could be considered excusable.
This reason cannot be refuted by the undercover Nakajo Fujitsu.
By working for Teru Uesugi, she was not only exempted from military and food service, but also got several more fields from Zhuangzi.
Originally, Yangbei Zhong was extremely jealous. If he denied it at this time, he would be torn into pieces by the violent Yangbei Zhong when he returned.
Everyone present at Yangbei fell to the ground, and a small area of the meeting hall fell to their knees in an instant.
For the two governors at the top, this is the biggest threat.
Most of the Echigo elites were here. They knelt down and worshiped, and they directly realized the proportion of the northern warriors in the Echigo samurai family.
If we want to continue the Kanto strategy, we can't let the people of Yangbei feel cold. If the 30% of Echigo's army is unstable, another 30% to 40% of the army will be spent just to keep them in check.
Then only 30% of the combat power is left for external development, so why not develop a p?
Whether it was unintentional or intentional, Honjo Shigenaga revealed problems that made Uesugi Teruhora silent, and even more agreed with Yoshi Bank's idea of profit sharing.
She looked at Yoshiyin and nodded slightly. Yoshiyin smiled, and Honjo Shibunaga was saved.
Standing up for the people of the North is to protect the common interests of the Echigo Mitsunari warriors. Even as arrogant as Uesugi Terutora must compromise, otherwise the quarrel will continue and life will be impossible.
Let Yiyin come forward, which means that he has completely made up his mind to support his profit-sharing reform.
Yiyin won the game again, and he became more and more attracted to the beautiful warrior Shigenaga Honjo. He was really good at doing things and was a big help.
Then, he did not hesitate to give gifts and completely win over this Ji, speaking gently.
"What you are doing is too reckless. His Highness Uesugi cares deeply about the Echigo samurai family. How could he see you starving and freezing?
She also told me before that she intends to reduce the military food service, Naoe Keetsuna-sama, right?"
Naoe Keizuna bowed and replied.
"What Yutai said is right. His Highness said before that the snowstorm this year was too severe and he wanted to exempt the Yangbei people from punishment.
He also said that the six public and four citizens were too harsh, and that the tax burden of the two publics should be returned to the local area in the form of water conservancy, transportation, agricultural tools, etc.”
As soon as these words came out, not only our villagers were overjoyed, but all the Ji warriors also held their breaths and listened, waiting for the next words.
Naoe Keizuna continued.
"Twenty percent of each family's military food service is used to recruit farmers and soldiers to open ditches, drill wells, and repair roads and dams.
The copper coins handed over were used to buy agricultural tools and livestock and distribute them to various places for farming.
This matter has been discussed and approved by His Highness and the Imperial Palace and will be implemented soon."
Yoshigine raised his eyebrows. Naoe Keetsuna regarded this political achievement as normal for Uesugi Teruhora. He also knew that taking him to the imperial office would indeed be a good person, and he suddenly felt good about him.
The new ladies in the retainer group also gave Naoe Keizuna a look, but you will take the opportunity to flatter him.
Naoe Keizuna's expression did not change, she had a sense of proportion in her heart.
The new Uesugi family and the Shiba family are working hand in hand. It would be of no benefit if the Echigo Takeshi family remained hostile to Shiba Yoshigan. She would be in a position where it would be even more difficult for her to behave.
She must play a role in reducing friction and lubricating both sides. Simply raise the Imperial Palace to make the local martial arts grateful and lay a good foundation for cooperation.
Terutora Uesugi also nodded secretly, she did not choose the wrong person this time, Naoe Keetsuna did a good job.
Honjo Shigenaga below is very grateful to Shiba Yigen. She made a lot of money this time.
On the surface, it seems that she is strong in speaking out and fighting for the interests of Yangbeizhong in front of Uesugi Teruhora.
Regardless of whether the benefit is coming from her, at least her sincerity is indispensable in terms of face, and Yangbeizhong will also thank her for her statement.
But Yoshiyin's gift was not over yet. After Naoe Keizuna finished speaking, he continued to reap the benefits.
"The people in Yangbei are unruly and unruly, so it is natural for them to suffer some injustices. The Wu family should serve the public bravely, so that they can be rewarded and blessed by their descendants.
You are all to blame for your suffering, our village is long, don't you think so?"
Honjo Shibunaga got the benefit, so of course he had to cooperate with the performance obediently, and he quickly kowtowed to the ground and burst into tears.
"What Odai said is absolutely true. We are stupid and do not know good from evil. It is all thanks to His Highness Uesugi's generosity and Odai's kindness.
I feel that all my internal organs are burning, and I am so ashamed that I can’t even put myself to shame. In the future, I will serve the public with all my heart and repay the great kindness of your two highnesses.”
Teruhora Uesugi couldn't help but want to laugh again. There were a lot of scenes today and it was interesting to watch.
Yiyin knocked her smile back with a glare. She was doing business now.
Smile, smile, smile.
Teruhora Uesugi swallowed back in pain, coughed twice to cover it up, and said solemnly.
"Odaisho suggested that I promote green hemp cultivation throughout Echigo to improve the lives of you and others.
In addition, the sea salt from the salt farm is the basic necessities of domestic rationing, which can be regarded as a little compensation from me to you, so that everyone can live a good life together."
Honjo Shigenaga's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, he got a lot of benefits, and he felt a little panicked.
Yiyin said, not wanting to be left behind.
"I have discussed with His Highness Uesugi to open a sea trade route from Kugo to Echigo Naoetsu, so that the price of Kansai goods will be reduced by at least 30% in the future.
The green linen cloth will also be purchased through my channels, and the price will not let you suffer a loss. If there is a profit from selling it to Kyoto, the profit will be divided and returned."
The two leading men smashed the good stuff hard, knocking out all the Echigo samurai on the spot.
Not only the people in Yangbei were confused, but the other people in China and Vietnam also looked at me and me as if they were in a dream.
In ancient times, productivity was low, and if the grassroots could survive without starving to death, it would be considered a prosperous age.
To survive, there is nothing more than eating, drinking, and sleeping. The most basic survival materials are grain, salt, cloth, and iron.
If you don't eat food, you will die. If you don't eat salt, you will die. Cloth can keep out the cold, and iron can be used to make farm tools. These things are the focus of control by those in power.
Since ancient times, salt and iron have been sold by the government, cloth can be used as currency, and food is more important, because these are people's livelihood, and their loss will shake the country's foundation.
Echigo is close to the sea, and the profit from salt drying is also huge. Uesugi Teruhu is reluctant to make domestic money, so he will only sell exports, and his income will definitely be damaged.
The grassroots samurai families could not afford the cloth made from Echigo green hemp, so they sold it to earn copper coins and bought some coarse linen for their own body coverings.
Concession of profits from salt and cloth, coupled with the feedback of military and food services to the local government, is equivalent to reducing the tax burden.
In addition to luxury goods, the sea trade route also provides iron and cloth that are needed at the bottom level. The price will further drop, and the price for purchasing green hemp is still increasing.
This future is so wonderful that all the Ji warriors can't believe it.
The great names of the Wu family were all tyrants who exacted tyranny. When did they turn into benevolent kings with kind faces? Is there something wrong with this picture?
Yiyin glanced at the audience, where the concubines were chatting privately. They all couldn't believe it and sneered secretly.
These warriors are used to being selfish, and their benefits are now too hot to grab.
He is tough on the outside but cowardly on the inside, greedy and timid like a mouse, looking forward and backward, which is so contradictory that it makes people laugh.
