Chapter 403: Ending the Hidden Danger

Mochizuki Yoshicho quickly realized the advantages of the flag skill system, but he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully for a while, he realized that this was not his own salary and disappeared out of thin air, and he couldn't help but feel very lost and anxious.

If you have food, you don't have to worry about starvation, and if you have money, you can buy the goods you like, and food is more precious than money in times of war, but if you go to a big business town or go far away, you can't go out without money, and you can't go out with a few catties of rice balls made by your daughter-in-law.

The dormitory will not accept his rice balls, people only need golden copper coins instead of their own mother-in-law's food, go to buy a merchant house to buy cloth to make a few clothes, if you have no money, people will not sell to you, rice dumplings can not be collected, rice is not wanted, and local products are not worth a few dollars.

Just like the imperial family in the Kamakura period, because they had to serve the Kyoto Daiban and Kamakura Daiban Soldiers, they couldn't live all the way in the wilderness when they went out without being entangled, chewing cold and hard rice dumplings and going down to the river to fish in Kyoto and Kamakura.

But what if the royal family has no money and only food? The local royal family caught up with the emergency mouth of Fenggong to exchange copper coins, so that the copper coin reserves in the business were greatly reduced, and the price of grain naturally fell accordingly, so that the more expensive the situation was encountered, many royal family members were tossed and unsustainable, and the money was usually only enough to go to Kyoto or Kamakura. It's hard to say how long you can last to get to the place.

Some royal family members may be pitted when they encounter unscrupulous profiteers. The profiteers reasoned that the copper coins were insufficient and could not be exchanged. As soon as they arrived in Kyoto and Kamakura, they found that they had no money, so they had to borrow money from merchants on the spot, and then use rice to settle the arrears when they returned to their hometowns.

But the consequence of this is that some unscrupulous traders find business opportunities, and if you have money, you always have to buy food and eat it yourself, but Kyoto and Kamakura are two central areas, one public and one military, respectively, and there are many townspeople and merchants who are not engaged in agricultural work, and the price of grain will inevitably be several times more expensive than in the countryside. This time the cost of living increased, and the royal family found that the money was not enough, so they had to continue to borrow money to eat.

When he returned to his hometown, he had to borrow some plates to go home, and when he returned to the countryside, the food became worthless, and it cost more food to repay the copper money, which tossed many royal family members into bankruptcy, and later the Kamakura shogunate issued a German decree to exempt the imperial family from their debts, but it was self-defeating to force the bloodless merchants not to borrow again, so they further forced the imperial family to have a deep resentment towards the shogunate, and at the same time, those evil parties who did not obey the king were rampant. It was the bane that planted the destruction of the Kamakura shogunate.

Kira Yoshitoki was well aware of this reason, not only did he know that the Kamakura Shogunate was destroyed because he did not properly handle the relationship between the Imperial family and the Shogunate. The extensive feudal system was also subject to the constraints of the Great Servitude, and the excessive depreciation of the grain prices of the Imperial Family in the land and the depreciation of money in Kyoto caused all the only wealth of the Imperial Family to be consumed in the merchant link.

He also knew that the Tokugawa shogunate, which was founded by the turtle, used similar explanations to restrain the local feudal lords, but the excessively strict confessions also faced the same problems encountered by the Kamakura shogunate, that is, the feudal lords had no money in the land and no food for the shogunate, and their financial resources were exhausted by derogatory treatment at both ends.

The Tokugawa shogunate's forced construction of river fortifications or the transfer of general service made the feudal government of each domain even worse, and the territory had no assets to deal with in a disaster year, so it could only borrow money from big merchants, and then it was not up to the profits, rolling into a big snowball, and finally the feudal lord had to cut off some of the junior samurai's annual salaries, and finally made the feudal clans more and more poor and went bankrupt, and the feudal lords were also reduced to extreme poverty and struggled on the death line.

"The implementation of the flag ability is only one of them, and then the rest of the will further implement the supporting decree, there is a combination of family and job strategy, although the genealogy is a succession of descendants but not necessarily will inevitably become the genealogy of the family elders, lack of ability to make way for those with outstanding ability, although there are many families in the genealogy, but the status of the children of each family in the family is the same."

"Jialu? Job? Mochizuki Yoshicho's head was a little dizzy, he had never heard of such a complicated system, and when he heard it at first glance, he inevitably couldn't accept it, so he took a deep breath and bowed down and asked, "Please make it clear to the Lord, what is Jialu?" What is a job? Looking back, it seems that I have heard similar statements about Jialu at home, but I can't remember it for a while. ”

Kira Yoshitoki waved his hand and said, "Let the house answer this question!" Yu first took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. ”

Hearing this, Langoka bowed to Kira Yoshitoki, and then sat up straight and shook his head and groaned: "Those who are in the family, the ancestors have opened up the territory of their descendants one after another!" For example, the young hall of An Yun's palace family wants to inherit the Mochizuki Collar Eight Zhuang more than 40,000 stones, which is the case! Those who hold positions at home, or for the elders of the family, or for the pursuit or for the general of the reserve team, are also in office! For example, the annual salary of 600 kanwen received by An Yun Shoudian is a job, and the money received by Sado Shoudian is 1,200 kanwen. ”

"I see! I waited for this income at home but turned into money, and there was also a food to give in the flag ability, so as long as the successors of each family were able to be promoted to the next level, one day my dog might also have the hope of being promoted to the elder of the family and get a thousand jobs? That's a great thing! Mochizuki Yoshicho was short of breath with excitement, how could such good news not make him excited.

They ninjas don't need to intrigue with the ministers, neither the pressure of war nor the benefits of local governance, as long as they do a good job of intelligence collection and induction and submit it to the Lord, and then they are to protect the target that needs to be protected, and all other issues have nothing to do with them.

"Theoretically, yes! It's just that seniority or merit is required, and those with high merit will be reduced by grinding, and if there is no special merit, they will be slowly promoted according to the law of the family for a few years. Some of those who have no merit or fault need to increase the number of surveys and grinding, or even make the punishment of transfer or demotion. If the fault is great, there may be a penalty. ”

Langoka is the speaker of the heartless. But Mochizuki Yoshicho is the listener's intention, Hattori is a mistake and all the games are lost, thinking that his chance is the punishment of transfer and demotion, and the mistakes he committed at that time are enough to apologize for the crime with death, but the merciful Lord did not do this, but just reprimanded and sent him to Omi Sakamoto to retire, and the benevolent lord in front of him is also one of the reasons why the genealogy of the Kira family is loyal.

Kira Yoshishi folded the folding fan and tapped the case to make a summary statement: "Jialu is the land that the monarchs have worked hard to get, and in the future, I will go to the lineage of the Ashikaga family and the samurai only need to lead the troops out to defend the Quartet." Or sit in the center to take care of the family business for the rest of the family, and there is no need to worry about the flag skills of the generations, so there are professional practitioners to take care of the flag skills, even if they encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, after all, they will ensure that the family rations of the generations are not lacking.

There is not only that share of copper money, but there will also be support for vegetables, meat, eggs and fabrics that should have been in the past, but the corresponding support should be reduced to less than 20%, after all, so much related support given by Jialu should also be reduced, and it is not easy to take care of such a large family business. Whether it is the genealogy of the family elders, the pursuers, and the generals, there are only so many.

In the future, it is unlikely that everyone will have a share like the family, and there will always be some people who will be able to obtain the job and others who will not. This is what the so-called capable people live in the upper and weaker in the lower ones, so as the rest of the spectrum members must work hard to practice military strategy and government affairs, and make more meritorious achievements in order to obtain a higher position. ”

"Your Majesty understands perfectly! Thank you for the mercy of the Lord, we are really unable to repay us as courtiers, but to repay the Lord's kindness by serving the public faithfully for generations! "Mochizuki Yoshicho bowed to the ground, at this moment he was really completely convinced of this young family governor, this kind of means was really unheard of and unseen in thousands of years, he could be sure that this was a precedent, and his lord would be a great figure.

Kira Yoshitoki accepted his pious thanks with a smile on his face, in fact, he was still very proud of the family roku and job system he had figured out, which was completely different from the Tokugawa shogunate's family roku, job roku, and support rice system, which could only be regarded as a pot of dog meat cooked by the Tokugawa shogunate's sheep's head and selling him when he was Kishirayoshi.

It doesn't matter if a part of the land is set aside from his direct territory and given to his retainers, how many families can inherit a wealthy clan like Mochizuki Yoshimitsu who happens to be extinct? In fact, it is only sixty percent of the grain in the land of hundreds of thousands of stones, and what can they do if they are given it, anyway, they can't eat it alive or dead, either they stay in the barn and get moldy, or they can cash it into copper coins and apply it back.

His life can only be regarded as exquisite, but it is far from the luxury of the first and auxiliary ministers of the Ming Empire or the famous wealthy businessmen of Shanxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huizhou.

But this level is really not as good as the famous families along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a few champions, a few generations of hairpins, enjoy the rich products of the Ming Empire, where he can compare, even some of the royal families in Europe in this era are not necessarily comparable to the big family of the Ming Empire, the Ming Dynasty in this era is a well-deserved rich country in the world, military strength may not be the first, but the degree of cultural development and wealth is definitely not comparable to small countries, of course, the Spanish Empire that dominates the seven seas is not among them.

A few days later, the Kasuga Yamajo Castle Assessment Meeting was reopened, and Kira Yoshitoki announced on the spot that Mochizuki Yoshimitsu would inherit the order of the Shinano Mochizuki clan to receive 42,800 koku, and in the surprise of the retainers of the spectrum at the same time, he announced the relevant plans for the flag skills, and Mochizuki Yoshimitsu used the inherited territory as the flag ability of the Ashikaga family, which seemed to be a change of direction to take advantage of the retainers of the Sakaga dynasty, but the actual specific regulations were a huge concession.

The general meaning is to let the loyal and conscientious retainers of the generations of the family have the opportunity to get a little bit of the war dividends of the Ashikaga family, the original salary becomes a job and continues to be paid, the original welfare becomes support and is reduced to the original two, and the original food giving becomes the knowledge and action gift, although the flag ability cannot establish military service in the grange, and there is no power to supervise their own territory. But if you don't take what the family governor gave it, it would be really stupid and hopeless.

The head of the Ashigaru group of each reserve team obtained a family of between 200 and 300 koku. The family obtained by Ashigaru is between 500 and 800 koku. The Jialu of the Ashigaru General is between 2,000 and 3,000 koku, the Ieroku of the reserve general is between 5,000 and 7,000 koku, the Shogun of 2,000 is between 10,000 and 15,000 koku, the new commander of the 3,000 to 5,000 troops is between 25,000 and 35,000 koku, and the highest lineage of the family elders is between 40,000 and 50,000 koku.

The junior commissioner in the commissioner corresponds to the head of the ashigaru group, and then the rank corresponds to the intermediate commissioner, the senior commissioner, the commissioner, the commissioner, the commissioner, the commissioner, and the commissioner correspond to their respective levels of samurai, and there are two levels below it: assistant commissioner and trainee commissioner, which are basically the same as the elite ashigaru and recruits in the reserve, and only the corresponding support is received.

For example, Yamamoto Tokiyuki obtained a 50,000-stone territory near Uozu Castle in Shinkawa County, Echichu. At present, there are only three genealogy elders of the Kamiashikaga family, namely Uesugi Masatora, Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and Sanada Yukitaka, so there are very few who are assigned to this level.

Another example is Hosokawa Fujitaka as the chief survey is equivalent to the new general, he obtained the 30,000 stone territory in the Mishima County of Zhongyue, Matsui Yukan is also this level, Takigawa Tokiyoshi is a young reserve general, he can get the 7,000 stone territory in the Nakatsu Kariwa County, Honjo Shiranaga, Kurokawa Kiyomi, Hojo Takahiro, Watanabe Takatsuna, Naito Masasari, Shiraku Sadatsu, Miyabe Jijun and others are all at this level.

Kira Yoshitoki also knew that this temptation was huge, so he generously told the retainers of the spectrum that as long as they were willing to change their territory into a banner skill, they could still enjoy the relevant treatment. Including the military service of each family, there is no need to burden it later, and the genealogical retainers of each family are allowed to retain the relationship between the monarch and the minister. It's basically the meaning of a glass of wine to release military power.

This benefit made the retainers of Echigo's pedigree greedy, Uesugi Masata didn't think so, his own territory in Echigo was as high as one million stones, although it was stated that these properties belonged to Kira Yoshitoki's eldest son in the future, but his weight and influence did not care about the profit sharing interests of these tens of thousands of stones, but Echigo's old ministers were red in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to stick it and rub it.

In Echichu and Dewa, the people of the spectrum who were unable to attend the meeting, such as Yamamoto Tokiyuki, Saito Asanobu, Kakizaki Keiya, Naito Masanari, Watanabe Takatsuna, Yasuda Keimoto, Yoshie Keiji and others, even if they tacitly agreed to the decree to change the flag skills, as for the Echigo countrymen, there were many people who came over with greed.

Katsunaga Shibe had already been greedy for a long time and decided to turn on the spot, Usami Dingmitsu was the second to jump out in support, Honjo Minoru and Nagao Keishinobu were still a little hesitant, but then many people agreed to gradually shake their judgment, including the Nagao Keiaki representative of the Nagao family system, the Genealogy represented by Yamayoshi Toyomori, the Nagao Keizhi represented by the side of the people, the Ueno Ienari represented by the big body, the Ueda represented by Nagao Masaka, and the Yangbei represented by Nakajo Fujiko came closer, In the end, the two of them saw that the general trend was gone, so they had to smile bitterly and bow their heads to accept their fate.

As for the countrymen of Ueno and Shinano, needless to say, Sanada Yukitaka was the first to express his willingness to turn his own territory into a banner skill, so he also became the second master of the Shinano family with 50,000 stones, and Shinano people such as Murakami Yoshikiyo, Takanashi Masayori, and Ogasawara Nagasawara have expressed their willingness to give their territories, and their stone height does not exceed 30,000, and there is not much problem in enjoying the rank of a general.

There is also a reason why the people of Shinano are so united, they are all the new lineage of Issui without any foundation and heritage, they are not the deceased people who were defeated and fled to Echigo and sent people under the fence and then took advantage of the majesty of Echigo to regain the territory, or they are the new senators who have just been surrendered and vigorously promoted, and they are not qualified to wrestle with the Echigo native lineage and the more powerful Mikawa Kyoto lineage if they do not hold a group in private.

They are all optimistic about the bright future of the Ashikaga family next to this big tree, not to mention that it is just a left-handed and right-handed territory Zhixing has not lost a penny, that is, to offer the territory to get a chance to get the same treatment as the Mikawa lineage, they are also willing, Shinano's territory is recovered behind the butt of the governor, if the governor reaches out to their territory, they have no way to refuse, so they have been bearing this kindness.

Nagano Ye is hesitant and can't make up his mind, his own territory is more than 20,000 koku according to the previous record, 25,000 koku is still a little short, if the land area is converted and reconverted, it will be almost 30,000 koku, but all the people who can fight well in Ueno Country are always a little unwilling to be taken over by the direct leader of the Kira family. At the juncture of his hesitation. Nagano Yoshimasa, Kohata Nobutada, Wada Yeshiro, Anaka Tadanari, Numata Hoyasu, Kiryu Sutsunade and other wealthy people have expressed their willingness to cooperate. and offer their respective territories.

Then just abandoned the name of Dahu Xiuzuna, renamed Shangzhou Xiuzuna to show that he broke with the past Shangzhou Sword Saint also dedicated his territory, the other six people of Shangzhou Seven Guns looked at each other and acted accordingly, Nagano Ye Zheng saw this posture and knew that he had no choice, even the relatives of the Takaru Nagano clan, son-in-law Kohata clan, Wada clan, Anaka clan, Numata clan took the initiative to offer, the main trunk of the Minowa people was drained of most of the strength and became fragmented, and he insisted that it didn't make much sense to be the leader of this empty shell alliance, so he also agreed.

Going out of Yuezhong is because it has always been a. In addition to the absence of the people in the central part of the country, the main people of the three countries of Echigo, Shinano, and Ueno all changed their territories to flag skills, but there were still people who hesitated, and Yura Nari Shigeru was not very happy with this kind of coercive and forced agitation, as if they would be isolated if they did not choose so, but fortunately, the three families of Nagao, Shirai Nagao, and Ashikaga Nagao did not express their position, and he was happy to hide behind and pretend to be stupid.

Nagao glanced at the increasingly wealthy face of his old master, Uesugi Kenmasa, and in addition to the stunned expression, he only had an expression of fugue, and secretly sighed that this Uesugi family in the mountain is completely finished, since the old master experienced that great change, he watched the people of Ueno Kuniren conspire with the sworn enemy Hojo family against him. So much so that after his sister-in-law was killed and his family business was destroyed, his spirit was completely broken.

Even if the news of defeating Hojo Shiyasu and regaining Ueno Province. It's just that he drank a few drinks excitedly.,As for other actions at all.,Just hide in the house all day long and hug Mrs. to make a child.,In the past few years, he really gave birth to another boy.,It is said that Mrs. Uesugi is still pregnant with a child in her belly.,It's really turning grief and anger into desire and working hard to manage the rest of his life.。

Looking at Uesugi Kenmasa's white sideburns and deep eye bags, Nagao felt that it was pointless to think about it more, and sighed secretly: "Your Majesty seconded the proposal!" ”

The Nagao Kenkei of the Shirai Nagao family glanced at the Nagao Kenkei of the Nagao family who was sitting next to him, who understood that the general trend was irreversible, and this must be the strategy that the young palace had planned for a long time, intending to strengthen the control over the many people in the three kingdoms of Echigo, Ueno, and Shinano, and the people were modernized by the official genealogy, the flag of the Zhixing domain was based, and the local samurai were centralized.

Although there are a lot of stupid people in this world, but none of them who can sit in the Kasuga Mountain Castle Dahiroma are stupid people, and the two of them can see clearly and clearly, so the other samurai must also have insight into the mystery, and it is precisely because all the samurai understand the inside story that they are more deferential, and if they don't force or force them to make their own decisions, they are actually digging a pit and burying people, and whoever is stupid at this time is digging their own grave.

Their Ueno Nagao family can still maintain a transcendent status in the era of Echigo Nagao's Nagao Keitora, once the two-headed politics is over, this aura will gradually fade and fall into the target of public criticism, the two of them look at each other and understand this layer of helplessness from each other's eyes, knowing that their good life is over, then they take a deep breath and bow down and say: "Your Majesty seconded the proposal!" ”

Yura Chengfan finally lost his cover and was exposed to the public, and hurriedly responded with a bitter face, but secretly scolded these three guys in his heart for ignoring the military deployment and government arrangements of the Ashikaga family.

Hosokawa Fujitaka sat in the front row on the right hand and kept carefully observing the movements in the big wide room, and saw that all the samurai should be united whether they were sincere or false, so he coughed and made a new suggestion: "It's not appropriate to completely separate the flag lineage from military service, after all, it's all their own soldiers who say that they will divide it or make people feel a little unkind, otherwise it's like this!" The number of soldiers in the territory of each family is according to the standard of 10,000 stones, and every 10,000 stones is 200 soldiers, and less than 10,000 is reduced according to this standard, and the food of the soldiers is provided by the lords of each family.

After becoming a standing stationary, the training belongs to the unified deployment of my Ashikaga family, as for the right to command the army, it is appointed by the lord and handed over to each genealogy to serve as a general, but the generals who send their own troops can not command their own soldiers, such as relatives or righteous brothers and other relationships should also try to avoid overlapping, after the death of the soldiers of each family, the main family is responsible for the pension, and the lack of soldiers is handed over to the generations to replenish themselves, so that the soldiers are still their own soldiers, and the grain is used for their own food, which is the only trace of fetters to maintain their original territory! ”

Hearing this proposal, there were still many samurai who couldn't turn the corner for a while, but Nagano Yemasa was the first to react, and immediately stood up excitedly and shouted: "This is good!" I'll raise my hands in favor! Isn't it 10,000 stone and 200 soldiers? We can afford to give this food! I just ask that we can wait for the Lang Party to serve the Lord! ”

Usami Dingman jumped up the second and excitedly shouted, "Yes, yes! Isn't it just this ration, what are you afraid of? Two hundred soldiers do not have much food for their daily training, and if they are carefully calculated, it is only one stone and two buckets of rice grain, one bucket of two liters of salt, and two buckets of four liters of miso, and in a year, it is only four hundred and thirty-eight stone rice grain, forty-three stone and eight buckets of salt, and eighty-seven stone and six buckets of miso, even if half a year is the double of the soldier's food during the war, the number is doubled, eight hundred and seventy-six stone rice grain, eighty-seven stone and six buckets of salt, and one hundred and seventy-five stone and two buckets of miso.

If it is a little bit of salt as long as it is always 500 wen and one stone, and the homemade miso is about three kan wen and one stone, if according to the new regulations of my Ashikaga family, the salt miso is all cut to two and a half supplies, and each person can eat a fish, two baked potatoes, and a bowl of pumpkin soup every day, these things are basically very cheap things, and if all of them are converted into rice grain, it is only a little more than a thousand stones.

Gentlemen, don't forget that we can get an annual tribute of 6,000 stone in this 10,000 stone, and even if we remove the tax, we can convert it into about 5,300 stone of grain, and we also have a few hundred official positions from the Lord, plus all kinds of support far more than 10,000 stone of income, this is really one out of ten! If you are reluctant to even give up this money, you will really be ashamed of the status of a samurai given to us by our ancestors! ”

The hundreds of samurai in the assessment room were stunned by his dazzling array of numbers, and many of them involuntarily nodded their heads in agreement, not to mention a series of numbers reported so quickly, but also to understand the military regulations of the Ashikaga family in detail, including the new food regulations and related standards, this hard work is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine.

The rows of pedestal ministers sitting at the front looked sideways and looked at this Usami Suruga Mamoru with appreciation, and gradually the samurai who recovered from the shock returned to normal, and the samurai who had recovered from the shock smiled and clapped their hands, and gave high praise to the white-haired samurai, what he said was very right and very good, and he deserved unanimous praise from everyone.

Everyone clapped their hands, and the samurai sitting a little further back also applauded in a big way, hiding behind Anzhong Tadanari glanced at the old samurai with an impassioned expression, turned his face sideways and asked his companion in a low voice: "I have never found that this Suruga Guardian is so good at planning, and he has calculated an account in a moment, probably only those few commissioners have such ability!" ”

Nobutada Kohata and Tadanari Anaka are both sons-in-law of the Nagano family, and the two families are also related to each other, and they are very close in age, and the young people get together and talk very casually, first looking around before pulling his arm and lowering his head, signaling to see where Usami Dingman, who is slowly retreating from his seat, is sitting.

When An Zhongcheng looked back at him blankly, he pouted and said, "This is what you don't understand!" Suruga Shouden This is expected a long time ago, otherwise he would have calculated this account a long time ago, in short, it would never be possible to calculate it so quickly, otherwise Suruga Shou should be among these commissioners instead of jumping out at this time to make a generous statement, you can take a closer look at Suruga Shou's current seat to know that its status is even worse than ours! ”

He Tian Yefan, who was sitting on the other side, also came over and said with a smile: "That's really the case when you say this!" It's not that I haven't done things like counting soldiers' rations, but the standard of 200 dings out of 10,000 stones has never been carefully calculated, and this Suruga Mamoru must have calculated it once to report the accurate number so quickly! ”

"Shhhh Look outside, there's an urgent report from outside the hall! Nagano Yegu stared at the edge of the large open space outside Ohiroma, and an envoy with two white, two black and four miniature flag prints on his back quickly approached Honmaru. (To be continued......)
