Prince Weikang, the seventh-generation general of the expedition, listened to Mihara Koi's explanation with relish, and he understood more and more that the wealth did not only refer to those gold, silver and copper coins!

What is buried in the mountains, grows in the ground, knots in the trees, and swims in the sea can be transformed into wealth and money through the free labor of man.

And this transformation depends on commerce and trade------ otherwise, they can only be regarded as goods.

It was the Hojo family's suppression of commerce and trade and the oppression of the peasants that would impoverish Japan and attract the blow of the Liuqiu Navy!

Neither the weak nor the poor will be beaten, but only by challenging the bottom line of morality and violating the justice of the world will they be beaten.

For example, the Tatars, such as the Hojo family.

Prince Weikang thought for a moment and said, "Do we have to pay a lot more interest------

"General, yes, we call it the price------- and if we count it to the end, we will earn more, and the owner of Zhang Island calls it a win-win situation!"

"Win both? Nobody loses?? ”

"General, yes, no one loses. The more you get, the less I have; The more I get, the less you will have, Zhang Daozhu called this view the bandit logic.

At least from the Mihara family and the Shimazu family, we are both rich and no one has anything to lose.

The premise is that we all have to abide by the contract------ fraud and robbery will be beaten. ”

In the end, under the persuasion of Mihara Koi, Prince Weiyasu issued another official document in the name of the seventh generation of the general of Zhengyi.

Of these, only three were the most important: the first was to reduce the peasants' land taxes, the second was to prohibit the daimyo and guardians from collecting additional commercial taxes from passing merchants, and the third was to confiscate the private land of the Hojo family as a reward for the capture of Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Muneko.

In fact, there is an implicit meaning in this, the general still agrees with the daimyo and guardian during the reign of the Hojo family, and nothing will change, unless you have to rebel.

Mihara Xiaojing later asked Ambassador Hou Dongfang whether such an arrangement was in line with the wishes of the island owner.

Ambassador Hou Dongfang said: "We are not here to rob you of anything, let alone to kill people------

Mihara Koi said: "I understand ------that the owner of Zhang Island does not want me to betray Japan's interests, but may help us develop Japan, and if Kamakura Castle can develop like Hachido River Castle one day, I will be blind even if I die." ”

"We have to follow the rules, and you can see what the Rogueu army is doing in Kamakura Castle."

"Yes, I saw that the Liuqiu army did not commit any crimes, you didn't even open the treasury, and handed it over directly to the general------ I am very pleased!"

"Hehe, Island Master Zhang will not let his army develop the habit of robbers.

This official document is very good, it can divide those daimyo and guardians, and even those ashigaru won't be so hardworking, right?! ”

Mihara Koi said gloomily: "I hope so------ some people are very stubborn, they see that the cultivation of corn and potatoes, and the cultivation of rice that is begged can feed more people, but they are not allowed to promote it in their territory-------

"Why? Da Song accepted it happily back then! ”

"Your Excellency, Ambassador, they are afraid of affecting their authority in their territory, and they are also going around saying that those new varieties are poisonous ------"

"How can it be!"

"------ hope that the messengers I have sent to the great merchants of Kyoto will also be of use."

In fact, the official document publicly released by Prince Weikang, the seventh generation of the Great General of the Expedition, played a huge role.

Among the many daimyo and guardians of Japan, the Ouchi family, the Shimazu family, and the Mihara family openly jumped out, and they said that they would obey the orders of the great general!

Moreover, that official document also made many ashigaru talk one after another------- the general is going to lower the field endowment?!

There is no one in the world who is not happy that he has lowered his taxes, except for the brain-dead!!

However, the eighty-year-old young Erji Neng and his son Fujiwara Keiji, the military general of the Kamakura shogunate, were both furious, their status and identity are from the Hojo family, what is the matter with that teenage child?!

If you reduce the field tax, you are killing yourself, where in the world, where is such a low tax?!

This is clearly a trick they use to fool people!!

Fujiwara Keishi ordered at that time that anyone who dared to discuss taxes in Ashigaru would be killed, and that must be a fine work sent by the other party, a traitor who would damage the morale of our army!

What made him feel relieved was that the samurai group under his command maintained an attitude with him------ most of those samurai were important thugs who were the head of the land and guards, and Tian Fu had a penny relationship with them?!

The eighty-year-old young man was able to personally send someone to invite the leaders who came to reinforce to a meeting to discuss the siege of the city------ but he found that it was basically the descendants of the Hojo family, the Imperial Family, and those Imperial Outer Family members did not show up under various excuses!

The eighty-year-old young man can understand that those people are starting to play with their own little ideas.

If they win this battle, they can still count their troops, and if they lose, they will also maintain their strength.

He calculated in his heart that the total number of people present was 50,000, and the Liuqiu army in the city was only more than 10,000 people, and he could recapture Kamakura City with these people!

The eighty-year-old young man said with a gloomy face: "See you in times of crisis, thank you for coming, the old man will personally go into battle to prove the word loyalty." ”

His son Fujiwara Keiji just wanted to say something, but was stopped by his father's sharp eyes.

"That child must have been held hostage by the Liuqiu army, and he made empty promises in a vain attempt to divide us, so you must not be fooled!"

The leaders of all walks of life said yes one after another, and the eighty-year-old young man showed a smile after hearing this.

"Let's not be afraid that they will use the Hojo clan hostages as meat shields------ we have other Hojo clans to support, they also have the same bloodline!"

One of the leaders whispered, "Why don't we negotiate with them first?" ”

The eighty-year-old young man was angry and said:

"If the negotiation is useful, what do you need the sword in your hand for?!

Negotiation is a coward's weapon!!

Even if Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Munekoku were here, the old man would talk like this!!

We have chosen to be loyal to the Hojo family, and anyone can die for this loyalty------ and that is the glory of a samurai! ”

When everyone present listened, their blood boiled, yes, the glory of the samurai!

"Let's take back Kamakura Castle and show those cowards!"

"Retake Kamakura Castle and capture Ryuki Island!"

The eighty-year-old nodded in satisfaction, and he silently returned to his tent alone.

Let his son discuss the rest of the details with them, those are small things.

It was nearly midnight when his son, Fujiwara Keishi, came in to see him.

The eighty-year-old young man knew what his son was going to say, saying:

"Remember my son, everything in our family comes from the Hojo family, and fighting for them is for yourself.

Land and peasants are our wealth, we can't reduce the endowment------- people's hearts are greedy, the more you reduce, the more they want to get.

When there are more of them, we will have less, and in the end the peasants will not respect the samurai.

After retaking Kamakura Castle, you must first eliminate the Shimazu family and the Ouchi family------ so that you will become the most important military commander of the Hojo family in the future, and our family will be glorious forever!

You don't have to say the rest, get out! ”

Fujiwara Keizo knew his father's decision, so he could only bow down again and leave.
