Chapter eight hundred and sixty-ninth Changan's restructuring
Ina Chuji bowed and said.
"The Imperial Office, in fact, the five-year water conservancy plan does not require the public to allocate a lot of grain through tax rebates.
The construction period is five years, and the corresponding labor time each year is much shorter, but not much food is used."
Yiyin nodded and understood.
Since ancient times, labor has been an obligation for the lords, and it is also a kind of human resource. Generally, adult women are recruited during the slack season to work for the lord for free for 80 to 100 days.
During the labor service period, the subjects had to bring their own dry food, and the military family did not need to pay for the food.
Previously, Ina Chuji was eager to show off and made the construction plan too tight. It required the use of civilian labor beyond the working hours, so money and food had to be used to recruit migrant workers.
But now she reset the entire plan and extended it from three years to five years. By controlling most of the construction time to labor, the consumption of money and food was much less.
Yiyin reminded me.
"The Guandong strategy requires farmers and soldiers to transport supplies, and these labor services must also be taken into account. You must be aware of this."
As Yoshigami could think of, of course these followers had already made plans. Ina Chuji kowtowed to the ground and replied.
"Hi! I understand.
In addition, I have some ideas and I would like to ask the imperial office to make a decision.
The drought caused the land to dry up, causing the Echigo princesses to panic and understand the importance of water conservancy construction.
If we increase our efforts in water conservancy construction now, it will actually mobilize their enthusiasm and speed up the construction."
Yiyin asked.
“Where does food come from? To increase efforts, we need to extend the time of labor.
The Guandong strategy is imminent, and if your water conservancy construction affects the logistics supply ahead, I'm afraid you will lose your head."
Ina Chuji bowed and insisted.
"In the imperial office, there is a shortage of food during the disaster years, but the Echigo samurai family will not reduce or reduce the land taxes of the people.
Women were recruited as peasants and soldiers to transport luggage for the front line, but their husbands and children left at home were starving. Although peasants and soldiers are humble, their minds are not stable, and their military morale is not stable either."
Yoshigami thought of the scene described by Ina Chuji and couldn't help but feel restless and hummed.
"Then what can you do?"
Ina Chuji said.
"The Kantō Minister prepared polished rice for the people of Yutai. After polishing the 2,500 shi of brown rice, the white rice was less than 800 shi, and the broken rice bran could collect more than 1,500 shi.
In addition, the concentric members of the imperial palace are also treated like this. Your imperial palace can also save 500 stones of broken rice and chaff in a year.
Please give me these two thousand stones of broken rice and chaff from the imperial office, so that I can make some gruel and attract the men and children from the village to come and work on the water conservancy construction.
Using work for relief is also a contribution to stabilizing the morale of the troops at the front."
Yiyin sighed.
Ishida Mitsunari was unwilling to agree to the grain robbery because of his soft-hearted bet, so he racked his brains and came up with the disadvantages of the grain robbery and offered it to his lord in order to gain the throne.
The same goes for Ina Chuji. She would think of using the broken rice chaff that was ground by the Kanto waiter to work for relief. It was because Ishida Mitsunari succeeded, and she was itching to flatter her.
What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.
How can these warriors be truly compassionate? How can they still be compassionate? They are simply following their lord's will to earn a future.
But Yiyin had to express joy and praise them, so that they would have the motivation to keep doing it. It was not because of their conscience, but because Yiyin Shiba was here.
Yiyin smiled helplessly, what would two thousand stones of crushed rice bran do? It would probably be boiled until no rice grains could be seen. Just this rice soup, and men and children had to work hard to exchange it, it was really disgusting.
But no matter what, having a stutter is better than waiting to die.
He raised his head, thought for a moment, and said.
"Find the part of the water conservancy project that is close to the village for men and children to work on, and don't let them go far away. There is a famine and lack of food to eat. If it is too far, people will starve to death before they can reach it, so there is no work.
Don't rush the tasks given, just do as much as you can. It's mainly for relief, don't expect them to do any work.
Inaji, you proposed this matter, so we must do it well. If it turns into a bad government that harms the people, I will settle the score with you."
Ina Chuji was stunned and kowtowed helplessly. This lord was really hard to fool, so he had better be careful. If he failed to please and made his lord angry, it would be bad.
After talking to Sanji, Yiyin looked at Dazang Changan who was sitting respectfully next to him and asked.
"Have you sorted out what you said before in the past few days, is it conducive to my laws?
I'm looking forward to it, Ozohime."
Dazang Changan kowtowed to the ground and said.
"I am humbled and frightened. I have written it in detail in the past few days, and it is all here."
She pushed out a stack of documents with both hands. Yiyin glanced at the three followers beside her and said.
"You tell us first."
"Hi! The premise of my work on the Kanto Code is that the Kanto Palace is the highest administrative organ in Kanto where the Imperial Palace is located.
I sincerely request the imperial office to revoke the status of the Kanto Shiba leader and the Kanto imperial office."
Yiyin glanced at her and started thinking.
He has been operating in Echigo for more than a year and now walks on three legs.
First, it relied on the financial resources of the Hokuriku Dou Trading Road, with Okuma Asohide as the main person in charge.
The second one is the area around Tobi Castle donated by Uesugi Teruhora. The old samurai families who immigrated to the Kishina Territory, including the Hokudai Kazuzu and the Iga clan, were appointed acting officials by Shima Katsuo.
The third one is the Yutai people who are directly under the control of the Kanto Shifu. They are divided into the Yue people and the Sanada people, and are controlled by Yukimori Yamazaka.
Of these three forces, Daokuma Chaohide is under the Kanto Palace and is nominally led by Yamanaka Yukimori.
It's just that Yoshigan Shiba had warned him not to interfere with Yamanaka Yukimori's involvement in the Hokuriku Dou trade route managed by Ohuma Asahide, as well as the logistics and supplies of the Kanto Palace.
As for Shima Katsuki, the acting official of Shiba in Kanto, and Yamanaka Yukimori, the deacon of the Kanto service office, they are in the same position.
These two people were from the old group, they were close confidants brought by Sibo Yiyin from recent times, and they were both physically related.
Their status is juxtaposed. On the one hand, it is to balance the rights of the two and facilitate Yiyin arbitration. On the other hand, it is also because they do not want to favor one over the other emotionally.
Now, Dazang Changan hopes that he will lower the status of the Kanto Spo leader and list him under the Kanto Palace, which puts him in a bit of a dilemma.
The Yutai people under Yamanaka Yukimori are complicated, and the power she can control is actually far less solid than Shima Katsuo. If the strong are subordinated to the weak, will there be more chaos and trouble in the future?
Yiyin thought for a while and asked Dazang Changan.
"Why do you have this suggestion? Tell me your reasons."
Dazang Changan said solemnly.
"The imperial sword held by the emperor went to Kanto and established the Kanto Palace. This was to revive the influence of the shogunate in Kanto, and it was a great act of kindness.
But the Kanto Shiba Territory is just the Kanto territory of the Shiba family, and it can actually exist side by side with the Kanto Palace. How can the imperial family members who serve the Kanto Palace deal with themselves?
I would like to ask the imperial court, when the samurai families of the Kanto Imperial Palace and the Kanto Shiba leader meet, who will bow to whom first?
There are clouds in the Heavenly Dynasty, and principles have been formulated throughout the ages, headed by the Six Cardinal Principles. One is Ming Li. If the etiquette is not clear, the Yilun people will not describe it.
Will the imperial family members who are willing to serve the Imperial Palace hesitate to move forward because of this?"
