These days, Gu Ci told the three big boys about the pre-dinner conversation around the Dongying Daimyo brawl, the children heard that for the sake of the Daimyo, the father and son killed each other, and there was also a chaotic situation of letting the adopted son inherit the family business instead of the own son, and the boundary of a country was sometimes only the size of a lower county, or even only a small part of the country, and they all said that this style of painting was too strange and incompetent.

Gu Ci seriously corrected the children's concept of treating the Dongying Warring States Period as 'village chief fighting', some people have disputes, the land is so big, if you don't fight, others will come to rob you if they are strong. The reason why Dayu is ready to go to the borderless land overseas is to prevent such a situation as Dongying.

The bad-eyed mother asked them to write a paper based on what they knew so far, analyzing 'why there was still civil strife in the emperor and shogunate' and 'what kind of system could solve this situation', and suggested that they could refer to the history of the Five Hu Rebellion and the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Spring and Autumn Warring States. Papers can be consulted, but they must be completed independently, and she, a mother, can also write them, and submit them to the emperor for review along with their homework.

Yuan Yi was naturally the first to look at the content of Gu Ci's writing, she was confused about these names and the two shogunates of Fujiwara and Uesugi, and she didn't dare to get an axe, so she first classified the daimyo according to the Japanese Warring States Period that she knew: one is the guardian generation, such as Genji and Uesugi; One is the 'Shimokagami', the Taira clan started the precedent, and the Shimazu Minoru family, who turned over and became the main family, was originally under the name of the Hyuga guardian Daitomo family, and Saito even took out all the noble samurai in the Ryono region from a grain merchant to ascend to the throne, and was worthy of being a national thief; She then wrote about the policies implemented by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo period, the last shogunate in Japan, such as the 'One Country, One Castle Order' that limited the daimyos' sphere of influence, the 'Hajj Confession System' for the purpose of consuming the financial resources of the daimyos, and the three-seal system of 'transferring, reduction, and transfer' that allowed the daimyo to monitor each other and even make enemies between them, the 'Five Mountains and Ten Brakes' law to control religious forces, and the 'Five Mountains and Ten Brakes' law to control religious forces, and the 'Confusing Religion' The Zhuyin trade, as well as the distribution of power to the clan relatives and meritorious heroes, but the large territories scattered by the foreign daimyo who surrendered, formed a pattern of separation of power and wealth, and once again established the shogunate system with identity as the core and the separation of soldiers and peasants with a strict hierarchy.

The children's homework was what surprised the emperor.

Qiang Qiang continues her advantages and analyzes from the capital aspect. At present, the three daimyo of Shimadzu, Nagasobe, and Nobuta, who are focusing on outward development, are characterized by the fact that their funds come from merchants, while the other daimyo mainly rely on fiefdoms, so in terms of personnel, scale, and control, the three daimyo have the most obvious advantages. In order to protect their local interests, the separatist forces in Dongying have restricted the flow of products, and the source of commercial profits is based on maritime trade. Kyushu was the most open and convenient first stop, and Shimazu Minoru had not only converted to Nestorian religion before, but also obtained first-hand tariffs, which was much more powerful than its rival Otomo, who believed in Shinto and Buddhism and obeyed the lockdown order. Nagasumu's control of the Seto Inland Sea and the entire island of Shikoku by land and sea was the second checkpoint for the flow of goods, so their navy was even more powerful than Shima Tsumi. Even before the founding of the country, Shimazu Minoru and Nagamunebu, who were the first to open the port, relied on smuggling and Goryeo transit, and received a large amount of money, which was not much worse than the traditional agricultural areas of, Kanto, and Noo, and the wealth that could be shared along the way diminished as goods flowed from west to east. Nobuta opened Chukyo as a port and promulgated the tax-free 'Rakuichi Rakuza Order', which divided the profits of the two islanders and absorbed most of the merchants who sold their goods to the Kanto and Tohoku regions. At present, even though the area controlled by the Uesugi family is the largest, it is at the bottom of the interest chain, and can only rely on fiefdoms to solve the problem.

Ahsan's work focused on the relationship between the emperor, the shogunate, and the daimyo. In general, the emperor is an ornament, the same as the Buddha statue, because he himself has no land and no people, and the shogunate should have the most land, but after it was divided, it couldn't be controlled, so the guardians and guardians below either grew up and became daimyos, or they were killed by the people who grew up, and they became daimyos themselves. The root cause of why the shogunate and the guards are not strong is that the emperor, the shogunate, and the failed guards failed to control the armed forces that were originally under them, and once the strict hierarchy is broken and the order is chaotic, the people below will definitely fight to go up, and whoever holds the force will be able to ascend, so the merchant Saito can become a daimyo.

Ah Shuang had the same focus as his younger brother, but he focused on the 'lower Kagami' within the shogunate. The change of authority of the Uesugi father and son is strictly speaking. Hiroshi's biological mother is the daughter of the Hei family, he was born and passed out, before he inherited the shogunate, he was called 'Taira Guangyi', Huyi became a monk since he was a child, and directly expressed his renunciation of inheritance, and the two brothers had no threat to Yoshikatsu. As the legitimate heir, when there is a strong enemy outside and no competition inside, Yisheng is forced to raise a knife because he can't stand Yiqian's suspicion, which is really stupid.

As for the solution proposed by the above three children, of course, it is to merge into Dayu, obey the constraints and management of their father, and become a part of the country, which is the only way out for Dongying!

Ah Sheng's homework surprised Yuan Yi the most, and it was also discussed about the cannibalism between father and son of the Uesugi family.

The first part of the text directly refutes Ah Shuang's 'suspicion theory', because just before Yoshikatsu made his move, Yoshiken also sent him to Kai, a fiefdom in the broad sense, to kill Suruga with Hojo, and sent his cronies to Shinano to form an alliance with the two local daimyo respectively, so that Nobuta Yasube would stay in Mikawa and not make trouble with Enoe.

The purpose of the retainers being loyal to the shogunate was for more benefits, and from Yoshiken's point of view, the Uesugi family had all the shares they could share, and he had only two choices, one was to redistribute internally, which was impossible, and the other was to grab other territories, such as Kaga, Kyushu, Shikoku, Shinano, Suruga, and Nobuta. Kaga is the territory of the Ichisuji sect, and if it moves, it is tantamount to being an enemy of Buddhism. Judging from the current strength of the shogunate, Kyushu and Shikoku can only be sure of victory if they are pressed by a large army, but it is spring ploughing, and so many troops cannot be transferred. Of the two daimyo in Shinano, the Murayama family in the north is next to the Echichu and Echigo of the Uesugi family, and the same Genji has always been obedient, and the Kozaenen in the south faces Kai in the east across the mountain, so it is not as easy to fight as Suruga, and Suruga naturally became the first choice. Why don't you just join forces with Murayama and Kozaoen to clean up the Nobuta in Mino in the southwest? Because the Hida Mountain between the two is really difficult to turn, it can only save the country by curve.

Kai is Kai to the north, Sagami and Izu to the east, and Enoe and Mikawa to the west. But the problem lies in the fact that this campaign will rely on Hojo and Murayama, one will attack the eastern part of Suruga from Sagami, and the other will go south to contain Kozaoen, half of Suruga and Minami Shinano's territory will definitely belong to them, and the rest will be left to the retainers of the Yoshikatsu faction, but the important ministers of Yoshiken will not have much advantage, and they will have to do their best. As a retainer who helped Yiqian fight the world, they each divided their territories, but in fact, they were no different from their nicknames, and in the process of handing over power between Yiqian and Yisheng, for their own interests, they must have their own preferences. Even if Yoshikatsu wanted to reuse his father's retainers, he didn't have much land resources to exchange for their loyalty. In the face of his father, who made such efforts to help him expand his territory, Yisheng still rebelled, the reason is that he, like Yiqian, gradually couldn't control the retainers below, and was already at a disadvantage in front of the retainers. In order to clean up these people with two ambitions and make room for their own fiefdoms, it is inevitable to meet each other. The broad sense is another choice for the old ministers, and the reason why Huyi was not chosen may be because this 'Buddha General' has so far 'not committed a crime' in his career, and he is not close to women at all.

The solution proposed in the second part is entirely to explain how the shogunate should control the daimyos, in addition to measures such as dividing and balancing, strengthening the law and hierarchical management, and also controlling the distribution and balance of money and power after the land is divided, so that the daimyo will never have the ability to compete with the shogunate.

***********************

This time, the children's homework was completed so well, Gu Ci was going to praise it together, and then let them talk to the emperor one by one. Qiang Qiang was the first to be praised, and the boys said that they had gotten used to the partiality of their parents and elders.

"Well done baby!" She hugged her daughter and kissed her vigorously several times. It's really not in vain to be a mother's desperate support for business, no, except that there are masters outside who can see that land is no longer the only capital, and even the youngest daughter can summarize the difference between land assets and business funds.

"But if the sea trade is broken, won't it be as good as the land-owning daimyo?" Ah Shuang and the other mother and daughter hurriedly asked questions after they were tired of crookedness.

"Pirates are a group that has no land to cultivate and only lives on trade, but you see, when will it really be banned? No matter how lowly and suppressed the status is, businessmen have never disappeared, and even the government and officials themselves have to engage in commercial transactions, and no one will be disgusted with a lot of money, right? ”

"But when they have money, they still buy land!" Ahsan thought deeply and retorted quickly.

"Everyone says that land is fundamental, and if you have land, you can have food, clothing, wood to build a house, and you can live, and capital is brought through merchants, so it doesn't matter if you have extra money or not, right?" Seeing the children nodding, Gu Ci felt that he could start to popularize a little rough economic concept in his impression, "My mother believes that in order for people to live better and better, 'things' and 'capital' are indispensable." Things are basic things for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and capital is the money that can buy these things. Of course, things are created out of nothing, so land is important, but capital is becoming more and more important. Have you ever wondered why everyone is so keen on a lucrative business like sea trade? Is it just to buy the silver? ”

Ah Sheng replied very seriously, "Definitely not, now that I have money, I can buy anything, so whether there is land or not is secondary." ”

"You see, that's what money does, and it's more popular than the land, because everybody has access to it, but the land isn't. Have you seen the scale book? The proportion of people who own our land is not high compared to the population of a country, right? ”

"So in order to make it impossible for landless people to live, we need to develop commerce?" Qiang Qiang asked very seriously, and the emperor outside the door also sat on the threshold and eavesdropped very seriously.

"Good babies, they're smart!" Gu Ci praised the children without hesitation, and then Amway, "Let's take a look at how things in the soil can be made from scratch." First of all, the land, the seeds, these are necessary, and then there are people, the peasants have to work, in order to have a harvest, you think, what else is needed? ”

"Ploughs and oxen." "Cultivators can do the same." "It's good to build a greenhouse!" "Insecticidal potion, chickens that eat bugs." "And fertilizer." "It's disgusting, don't talk about this, I won't be able to eat for a while!" "Ah Shuang, you're so bad!"

The children who had been to the experimental field chattered and added, seeing that they were about to crook the building, Gu Ci hurriedly stopped, "You are all right!" In the early days, there was no such thing and farming, which means that these are not necessary, but now that they have, they will make the yield higher. Therefore, in order to distinguish them, my mother called these 'materials'. "Material" can appear, it is precisely because of "capital", so, under the action of "material, capital, people", "material" will be more and more, as long as the input of "capital" does not lose money, production efficiency will be improved. Even if not everyone has land, the land has not increased, but we can increase our food, clothing, houses, and so on. ”

After listening to this passage, several children began to take notes seriously, which was a good habit that they spontaneously developed.

"Understanding the role of capital, let's take a look at Dongying's problem. The Owari of the Nobuta family is all of the upper class, and now they have the funds of the merchants, so the people below will always benefit from listening to him. The Uesugi family only has land, and it has already been divided, if they can't fight a new one, will their subordinates be willing to only keep the existing land, and then continue to listen to him? "It's no good for anyone to be the boss of you, as long as others give more benefits, they will definitely betray.

Gu Ci then asked, "Do people who have a lot of money buy land just to grow grain and cotton in the field, and use these outputs to be self-sufficient?" ”

"It's not." "To make more money." Praise the twins and answer Lisso.

"So, isn't there a big difference between them and the people who guard the field?" Gu Ci gave an example, "Do you remember the land in Langya City?" Now the people who farm the land are not from our family, and the machines, seeds, and other things they use are all bought, and if there is no trade, only the mother and the mother alone, those lands will be barren, and they can't even support themselves. ”

The landlords who insisted on not keeping up with the trend encountered such a dilemma, clinging to their land, but the tenant farmers and servants had a better way out, and they would have to pay more money to hire and buy better seeds and agricultural tools, otherwise the fields would be barren and taken away by the government, and the land fruits could not be sold for money, so they could only sell the land and become poorer and poorer. Through the accumulation of capital, some of the merchants who had mastered other materials other than land were able to easily control the economic lifeline of a place, and whether or not they bought land and became new landlords did not affect their status. If such a businessman does not have a foundation, and the old party is an official family, then he will be properly criticized and even killed, but if this businessman depends on the royal industry for a living, they will naturally have the confidence to fight and get shelter. Clean? Family? Functionary? I'm sorry, I can crush you in any way.

"Let's go back to the Nobuta family first. If Da Yu suddenly doesn't go to Zhongjing and his funds are reduced, what do you think he will do? ”

"Grab land like other daimyos." Ah Shuang rushed to answer.

"Isn't he asking for money just to grab land?" Qiang Qiang said.

Ah Sheng spoke cautiously, "But the strategy will be different. "Because of Nakakyo, Nobuta's focus now is on opening up the passage to Lake Biwa, Omi, Ise, and Kyoto Joraku. The Uesugi family is not afraid of any movement in Suruga, as long as they can't cross Mikawa and threaten Nakyo, Nobuta has every strength to turn back and fight Enoe, and even take Suruga.

Ahsan asked curiously, "Will there be poor officials who are bullied by businessmen because they have no money to hire people to farm?" ”

"No matter how poor an official is, he has a way to restrict the activities of businessmen, such as setting up checkpoints, inspecting goods, disrupting shop business, etc., so do you still think businessmen will bully officials?" Gu Ci was very supportive of him to do social research, because Ahsan really likes to ponder these things, "You can study this situation in depth by yourself." ”

"Let's protect the merchants." Like Gu Ci, Qiang believes that business is important.

"The merchant will sit still?"

Seeing that the children, especially Ah Sheng, were seriously thinking about this issue, Gu Ci gently added, "When businessmen and officials conflict, my mother can only think of two endings, one is that the merchant is in power, and the other is that the court prohibits businessmen." ”

The other three children took notes, but Ah Sheng looked up in surprise, she smiled and touched Ah Sheng's hand, the child is too old to touch his face, it's a pity!
