As soon as the landlords heard Ueda Nobukata's policy, it was like a heaven and an underground compared to the Takeda family, and what people were most afraid of was that there was a comparison.

In fact, Ueda Nobukata did a little better than Takeda, and when Saku was still the Oi family and the Kasawara family had the final say, it was like this.

However, the small people can be bought with a little favor.

Ueda Nobukata stabilized the land, and then he had to go to the grassroots people, from the people, to the people.

Although the common peasants in this era had little power, they were still grassroots buildings, and only by stabilizing grassroots buildings could they improve high-rise buildings.

Even the ancients had always advocated this view, and it was after Shinano's setback that Takeda Harumobu fully realized the power of unity.

Ueda Nobukata decided to tell the people about the changes he had brought and make people approve of his rule from the bottom of their hearts.

Although this approach is very hypocritical, in such an era, what everyone is doing is to live, and to do whatever it takes to survive.

There may be a few people who can get out of the mud in this troubled world without being stained, but Ueda Nobukata can't do it and doesn't want to do it. Because he was not a saint and did not want to make a pilgrimage.

Ueda Nobukata said to the people, "Ladies and gentlemen, take me to your village, and I will personally tell my people to cheer together." ”

What he said was not to discuss with the landlords, but to get up directly and walk out first.

He then led the men out of the castle tower and then out of the castle, gathering the people along the way, explaining his policies.

The crowd gathered more and more, and more people flocked to it, and when the people heard about Ueda Nobukata's policy, everyone was beaming with joy and chanting, "Castle lord is merciful, we are willing to resist Takeda for the castle lord."

A political show by Ueda Nobukata achieved his goal, and he quickly won over the hearts of the people around Maeyama Castle.

Halfway through, a peasant boldly asked, "City Lord, how much interest will the small ones have to repay if they borrow money?" ”

Ueda Nobukata had already thought of the answer, and he shouted: "If you borrow money, you only need to repay the principal for more than one year, as well as the 10% interest rate on the principal, and if you have more than one year, the arrears of the previous year will be 10% of the principal."

So, you may not understand very well, let me make an analogy, if I lend you 100 yuan, and you have to repay me 110 yuan in the second year, but you don't pay it back, then the principal in the next second year will be 110 yuan, and the interest rate for repayment will be 11 yuan, that is, in the third year, you will have to repay me 121 yuan. ”

The people were very happy when they heard this, such an interest rate is not very high, at least not usury.

Ueda Nobukata added, "If you pay off the debt within a year, the interest rate is only half of the principal!" ”

The people immediately rejoiced, and there was no need to worry about going bankrupt because of the rolling interest rate.

Surrounded by the people, Ueda Nobukata quickly finished inspecting his territory, that is, at a cursory glance, he actually revealed some of his policies to the people and won the hearts of the people.

The war in the former mountain castle ended quickly, so there were still some merchants in the city.

After Ueda Nobukata pacified the people under his rule, he brought in wealthy families and merchants from the city.

He went straight to the point and said, "Now that the policy of the Takeda family has been abolished, my policy will be implemented from now on."

Rest assured, I'm a business-oriented person, so I won't be as harsh on your arrangements as the Takeda family. But what everyone should contribute, we still have to do.

Don't think that I and the Takeda family are the same thing, in fact, you will definitely support my support for business.

Because I decided that the merchants who entered and left the former mountain city would no longer pay the gate tax, and the merchants' taxes would be one of the ten taxes on their income, and no more taxes would be collected after that.

However, luxury goods, such as silk and other goods, are subject to an additional tax of 20%, which is a tax on valuables. Do you have any objections? ”

A merchant asked, "City Lord, as long as we pay the above taxes, we don't need to pay taxes?" ”

Ueda Nobukata nodded and said: "Of course, I will make a decree and let people pay special attention to the implementation, I hope you can consciously abide by it, once you are found to have evaded taxes, I will definitely investigate to the end, and no one can be taken away from you, and a fine will be imposed, you don't lose a lot because of a small loss." ”

Merchants don't have much objection to this, after all, if the previous tax, whether you lose money or not, it was a heavy tax, and now it only depends on how much you sell to collect taxes, for businessmen, the business risk is reduced.

Ueda Nobukata turned to the wealthy people in the city and said, "The Takeda family's virtue service is too harsh for you, how can this kind of virtue be used as a tax?"

If it were me, of course, it would be standardized and stipulated in the form of a decree, so I think it would be better to pay 20% of everyone's monthly income as a tax? ”

One of the monks said, "If we wait for the temple to pay taxes, the lord of the city should give us preferential treatment." ”

Ueda Nobukata smiled: "Of course, this is how it should be, how about half a harvest?" ”

The monk didn't push too much, and nodded in approval of this condition.

Ueda Nobukata smiled on the surface, but in his heart he was very disgusted, this monk is a representative of the Ichijo sect, and the Shinano Ichijo clan is very powerful, and many countrymen and wealthy clans believe in the Ichijo sect.

Therefore, the current Ueda Nobukata can't offend Ichsaki Sect, otherwise, he will die on the street the next day.

Even Takeda Harunobu had a good relationship with the Ichijo sect after taking down Shinano, and his sister of Mrs. Sanjo of the main room married the eleventh lord of Honganji Temple.

Therefore, Ueda Nobukata only wants to have a good relationship with the Ichijo sect now, so that at least the Ichijo sect will be in a neutral position.

Legally, however, Ueda Nobukata's policy could only be implemented in areas under his control, unless Ogasawara issued a written order acknowledging Ueda Nobukata as the prefectural director of Saku-gun.

This is the question that Sanada Yutaka asked Ueda Nobukata, but Ueda Nobukata just shook his head and did not answer, and he couldn't be in a hurry to seek the matter of the county division.

As long as he completely blocks the invasion of the Takeda family and has the support of most of the Saku people, he can seek this position.

After sending off the merchants, Ueda Nobukata had not yet rested, and Yuan Lian appeared and said: "My lord, Oi Sadakei and others are passing by Iwao Castle with more than a hundred people, and it seems that they want to go to Taguchi Castle, Iwamura Tian and other places. ”

Ueda Nobukata stood up and said, "Heh, is it true that my team can come and go when they want to?" Let them go first. Yuan Lian, continue to follow them and see where they land.

Kotaka, you quickly prepare a batch of Takeda family flags, as long as Yuanlian finds out the place where Oi Sadakyo is located, we will attack! ”
