Chapter eight hundred and sixty-eight of the plan to buy food
After Daxiong Chaoxiu finished speaking, Yoshihiro sneered. Of course those short-sighted fools would refuse. As expected, in order to buy food, you still have to defeat the Uesugi retainers group first.
It is indeed feasible for Okuma Asahide to buy grain along the Hokuriku Expressway. Shiba Yiyin does not even have to pay anything. He only needs to use this year's share of the Hokuriku Expressway to exchange for it.
For the sake of recent bargains, I believe that the samurai families of Echizen, Kaga, and the three countries of Echizen and China are willing to spend some surplus food. Even the Noto samurai family with poor land will be unable to bear it. Who would think that the goods are scarce.
The biggest trouble lies with the Echigo samurai family. Naoejin Checkpoint is the end point of the Hokuriku Road trade route. The largest share of the Hokuriku Road trade route is distributed to various parts of the Kanto region from the market here.
The more the samurai family takes along the Hokuriku Road, the less the samurai family will get later. These greedy people who have fallen in the eyes of money will definitely object.
They just eat and don't vomit. They can go out to grab food, but let them take the initiative to cut meat to buy food. Then don't dream about it.
Fortunately, Yoshihiro has given up his illusions and no longer compromises with the Uesugi retainers, it is just a fight.
Instead of thinking about how to defeat the Uesugi retainers, he asked Daxiong Chaohide.
"This food is not enough.
Along the Hokuriku Expressway are Echizen, Kaga, Noto, and Echichu Shikoku. The total stone height is less than 1.5 million, right?
Nowadays, wars are raging, and they don't have much surplus food. They also have to consider their own food reserves. If they can only buy half of them, they will be pretty good.
Even if it’s half percent, it’s still only 70,000 to 80,000 dan, which is still more than half less than 160,000 dan.”
Da Xiong Chao Xiu said.
"The trade route here in Echigo.
Shangyue is connected to the Jiaxin Mountains. The mountain people are so poor that they don't have enough food to eat, and they don't have much to sell.
China and Vietnam were connected to Ueno Country and entered the Kanto Plain. The Great Famine was mainly located here, and it was even less likely that they would have much food to sell.
There is no hope for either side. There are only two roads leading from the Lower Gotsu Agano River to the four counties of Mutsu Kokusai Tsu and the northernmost section leads to the Shonai area of Dewa Province. These two roads can be thought of.
Although Ou is cold, has a sparse population, and low farm returns, its land is vast and rich in resources. In the basins of South Ou and the Sendai Plain of North Ou, you can always get some food and livestock.
This year, we can focus our trade route mainly in the direction of Xia Yue Ou and exchange goods for food and livestock."
Yiyin nodded, and Daxiong Chaoxiu said again.
"These things are already the limit of what we, the followers of the Kanto Imperial Palace, can do. For the final gap, we can only rely on Mr. Takada of Sakai Port to think of a way to get some food from nearby.
The western end of Hokuriku Road connects Omi Province, which is a large country with a stone height of nearly 800,000 people. The Osaka Plain where Sakai Port is located is also the largest plain in recent times.
In addition, from Omi Province to the east, there is also the Oda family in Nobi Plain. Can I buy some food?"
Yiyin squinted his eyes and thought for a while before saying.
"You have done an excellent job. I will give Takada Haruno higher authority in recent aspects and let her get food.
As for the Oda family, I will find a way."
This time, Takada Yono solved the problem of Hirojoji of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and he made great contributions to the pacification of Ezhong. Yoshihiro will definitely reward him.
Yi Gin didn't know that the reason why Ishiyama Honganji was willing to bow its head this time was also the reason why Nanman taught Shangluo.
It's just that this matter was too embarrassing, as the Master didn't mention it at all in his letter, and Akechi Mitsuhide's efforts were covered up.
This time Echigo was short of food and needed the support of Takada Harino. He simply followed the trend and prepared to give Takada Harino more power as a reward.
As for the Oda family, since Oda Nobunaga took over Mino Country, the exchanges between the two parties have become increasingly cold. But if Yoshigan wants to buy some food, I believe it is still a bit thin.
Let Takada Haruno go find Maeda Toshiie and try this matter.
After some planning by Daxiong Chaoxiu, Yiyin was confident about buying grain.
The military rations in the Kanto Raiders are easy to solve, but the difficult part is to dispel the greed of the Echigo samurai. How to prevent them from continuing to grab food despite the fact that the military rations are sufficient?
Yiyin only felt tired and tired, and the road was long and long.
He rubbed his temples and asked.
"Will the imperial rations at the Kanto Palace Office be in trouble?"
Da Xiong shook his head at Chao Xiu.
"There are more than 250 members of the Shimogotsu and Sanada members, and the old Toshinsong of Yamazaka Yukisho is less than 300 people. Although the white rice they eat is expensive, after all, the number of people is small, so it is not a problem.
A person's quota is two and a half shi per year, and grinding brown rice into polished rice requires seven or eight shi of food, so the total does not exceed 2,500 shi.
The dried radish and fish supplements in the disaster years were all used by farmers in exchange for grain. I used brown rice to buy them, but it was cheaper than in previous years.
The treatment of the people in the Imperial Palace is related to the good governance of the Imperial Palace to win the hearts of the martial arts. I will squeeze out these thousands of dan of food even if it is squeezed, so please feel at ease."
Yiyin glanced at Daxiong Chaoxiu and said.
"Daxiong Ji, you and I have known each other for more than a year. You are loyal to me. I am very grateful."
Daxiong bowed to Xiu and said solemnly.
"I was forced to rebel at the beginning, but if it hadn't been for the kind protection of the imperial court, I don't know what my end would be now.
In this life, I can only repay your kindness through the hard work of dogs and horses."
What Daxiong Chaoxiu said is true.
The Sino-Vietnamese adherents have long been squeezed out of existence by Saito Nobunobu and other close ministers of Uesugi Teruhora.
If it hadn't been for the emergence of Shiba Yiyin, today's Daxiong Chaoxiu would have probably been defeated and fled, and God knows where he ended up.
She was truly grateful to Shiba Yoshigan, and she was also disgusted and resentful towards the Uesugi retainers.
Honjo Shigenaga had no choice but to take refuge in Shiba Yoshigan, but Ohkuma Asahide followed Shiba Yoshigan sincerely and killed the damn Uesugi retainers.
Yoshigan thought for a while, looked at Ina Chuji who was silent behind him, and asked Daxiong Chaohide.
"Will the famine in Echigo affect the five-year water conservancy construction plan? What changes will be made to the tax return public?"
Da Xiong Chao Xiu said.
"Inaji has talked with me several times about water conservancy, let her explain the details.
As for the Ergong tax rebate public, there are huge differences on whether to insist on water conservancy construction in lean years.
Most of the samurai families in the Echigo Plain who have benefited from the water conservancy construction insist on the water conservancy plan. However, in the Takata Plains in Joetsu, the samurai families who were affected by the disaster want to postpone the implementation."
Yiyin smiled.
"Understandable."
The worse the drought and the harvest, the more determined the samurai family in the Echigo Plain were about the importance of the water conservancy plan, and of course they hoped to continue it.
However, the Takata Plain in Joetsu has not enjoyed the benefits of the water conservancy plan and is unwilling to support it anymore.
During the disaster years, every family was short of money and food. The two kogs of food that the second public servant reimbursed the public must have been targeted by the Shangyue people. They wanted to use the second public tax rebate to subsidize the losses in the disaster year.
Yoshigan pondered, and it seemed that he could take advantage of the different demands of the Uesugi retainers in Joetsu and Chuoutsu to attack them separately.
He looked up at Ina Chuji and asked.
"Inaji, will the famine have a big impact on this year's water conservancy plan? If we insist on construction, will it cost a lot?"
