Chapter 42 Reform
In the early morning, Yiyin opened his eyes in a daze, and the interests on the side had long since disappeared, smelling the residual fragrance on his hands. This should be done, right?
After breakfast, Yiyin gathered the Ji warriors at home to discuss the matter. He sat on the main seat, with the Takada sisters under his left hand and Maeda's mother and daughter under his right.
"The Lord is well."
Maeda Toshihisa pulled the interest to salute, and the interest was so stunned that he didn't know what to think, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Yiyin, so he bowed and bowed his head.
"Good morning, Lord Yiyin."
Sister Takada also saluted, and Yang Nai glanced at the interests unhappily. I don't know why it's so unpleasant to look at her today, but I want to fight against Yin's words yesterday, so I endured it and didn't have a seizure.
"Everyone is well, I also hope that you will get to know each other and announce a few things."
Yiyin said thoughtfully.
"Yono Takada, Yukino Takada. The pursuit of Spo's family, pay the eye. This is Liku-sama, the mother of Benefit-hime. ”
The two saluted each other, and Riku could feel Yono's rejection, but she also felt understanding.
If this is on her, it is unacceptable. All the knowledge and deeds that the lord has worked so hard to build are all sealed to outsiders, how can there be such martial arts rules.
can be replaced by her own daughter to benefit, and she can only take it with a clear conscience, and the big deal is to be loyal and serve the public slowly.
"Today, His Royal Highness Oda will send a certificate of thanks and a letter of acceptance from Zhixing, and after you accept it, you will transfer the certificate of Zhixing to Lord Riku."
Yiyin said, and Yang Nai reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Lord Riku, I'll leave the matter over there to you."
Riku bowed again with joy.
"It's my job. I'll go to the Maeda family to negotiate later, get back my Hamotohime samurai and the direct jurisdiction of Ashigaru, and I'm sure my mother will also support some supplies for the new leader.
I assure the Lord that by the end of the spring ploughing at the latest, the Barrel Sasama Maeda family will be able to operate normally, and that the Lord will be able to provide all the military strength for the war after the New Year. ”
Both Yoshiin and Toshihisa understood that Nobunaga's pace would not stop, and the next war would be well fought.
In the past few years after the death of the first generation Nobuhide, most of the people in the territory were four princes and six people recuperating, and now Nobuhide is in power, and he must go to war to fulfill his promise.
Fight for a new territory for himself and for the hungry Ji warriors at home.
"This matter is troublesome for adults, and the benefit Ji still needs to stay at home, and the military at home is inseparable from the benefit Ji."
"This is nature, the weight of the reward, you can't pay it back unless you go to the soup."
Li Jiu chatted with Yiyin a few more words, apologized and left first. She was in a hurry to go back to Maeda's house to find support, it was already deep winter, and time was pressing.
After Riku left, Yiyin turned his head to Yono. Yono nodded understandingly and talked about the situation at home.
"This dispatch of troops has almost emptied the family's foundation, and the ashigaru has been completely wiped out, and the grain and grass have also been supplied to the front line. In addition to the guaranteed food, all the supplies at home were taken out.
In the past few days after the war, I took the peasants and soldiers back to the village to supervise the winter ploughing, and next year's summer harvest should not be affected. ”
Yiyin nodded reassuringly, the summer harvest is the harvest of the main ration wheat of the villagers, although the main family basically does not take it, but if there is no harvest, the village will inevitably be in turmoil.
Yang Nai was able to catch up with winter ploughing as soon as possible after the war, and he was very heartfelt.
"You do things, I don't worry. So the material situation at home is not very good now? ”
"More optimistic than I thought before, although Ashigaru was completely wiped out this time, the Niwa-sama of the Oda family appreciated the contribution of the Spo family.
Ashigaru's royal loan was fully returned, and some of the spoils were compensated.
I tried to sell it in the castle town in exchange for some copper coins and grain. ”
Yiyin smiled with satisfaction, so well, if you want to read, you see how fast Yang Nai's brain is turning now.
"As long as we don't mobilize as strongly as this time, there will be no problems at home this year.
The materials for recruitment have been put in place, mainly for the selection and training of Ashigaru, and we need to wait for Maeda-sama to handle it. ”
As he spoke, Yang Nai glanced at the benefits. Finding that she couldn't give up, she couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Benefit Hime, benefit Hime."
Yiyin called her twice softly, and the benefit suddenly came back to his senses, looking at Yiyin's face flushed.
She's still a chick, and yesterday's battle was too exciting for her. I have heard a lot of meat jokes between Ji warriors, but I have never heard of such a fierce one as Lord Yiyin.
It is said that men are very weak and have to be weak for several days after one time, how can they be like adults, and count seven times in one night, which is really scary.
Adults are really not ordinary men, and the benefits of Ji Samurai's physique felt pain in his lower body for the first time, and his body was so soft that he didn't ease it now.
"Maeda's interests, although it is good to know and act, you don't have to think about it all the time. Serve the public favor, serve the public first, isn't it? ”
Yang Nai's exit is ridicule, she only takes advantage because she was knocked unconscious by a big pie of 1,500 stones. If only you knew the truth.
I guess I will be jealous and draw a knife to kill interests, right?
"In the past few days, Li Ji has been emaciated for the sake of Lord Lijiu's affairs, and it is normal for people to be tired."
Yiyin said a word for the benefit, Yang Nai pouted, and it was not easy to refute, it was jealousy.
Xue Nai on the side sat like a clay sculpture, and now she couldn't touch her except for the sword that stayed by Yiyin-sama's side every day.
"It's rude, Takada-sama."
Interests know that they are wrong, and they admit their mistakes first.
"I've done the ashigaru thing at home once, and it should be smooth to do it again this time, mainly because the lord plans to configure how many standing ashigaru things this time. Is the supplies at home up to date? ”
The two words of the Lord are said with a special charm, and I always feel that there is something. Yang Naihu looked at Yiyin and interests suspiciously, and couldn't say what was wrong.
"I do have some thoughts on this."
Yiyin thought for a moment and said.
"I want to give Ashigaru a haircut."
“???”
The two women looked at Yiyin together, and Xue Nai was still calm.
Yiyin had actually thought about this for a long time, and he felt that those ashigaru were too pitiful. They are all fresh lives, born with redundant labor, starving.
What awaits them is that the older ones are selected by the samurai to join the reserve team, and then die in a certain battle. As cannon fodder, the only price to pay for hiring them is two meals a day, and they don't have enough to eat until wartime.
As a person who lived in modern society in a previous life, Yiyin actually had a hard time accepting this kind of thing. But this is a feudal society, the productivity is insufficient, the grain production is insufficient, everyone is like this, and he can't do anything.
But under the torment of conscience, he still hopes to change what he can see in front of him. Anyway, he relies on the system to fight, and there is more cannon fodder and less cannon fodder, which makes no difference to him.
"The food consumption for ten ashigaru months is two koku, plus the consumption of the imperial loan and the doubling of the amount of food during the war, it is about forty koku a year, and it will not exceed fifty koku.
In other words, the cost of one ashigaru is less than five koku per year. I would like to change the way Ashigaru recruits them, and give them five koku of food every year as a stipend.
In this way, they can marry their husbands in the village and have children, and they have a hope for life. It's not like now, eating every day is just to die on the battlefield. ”
"But if they die in battle, the battle will stop. How do the widows and orphans who are left behind live? ”
Yang Nai thought long-term, and Yiyin was suffocated.
"Then make a law, and the husband and children who died in battle will be admitted to the family as male servants, and the children will be given priority to become ashigaru when they become adults."
Yiyin didn't do anything, and said simply.
"That... Is it really feasible for families to have a greater burden on them? ”
"It's possible!"
Yang Nai was still hesitating, and the interests were already excited. This incident hit the weak spot in her heart, and she remembered herself back then, so she couldn't care about being shy and bowed to Yiyin.
"The Lord is benevolent and righteous, and it is an honor to be loyal to the Spoo family. Lord Takada is relieved that this matter is feasible. ”
After clearing up the ideas, the interests said.
"When Ashigaru has expectations, he will naturally be brave. And the husband and daughter are both at home, not for the Spo family, but for their own family, they must work hard to kill the enemy.
There are many families, and the villagers in the ashigaru township live together and have a deep relationship.
If there is some trouble on the battlefield, I will not easily give up my fellow villagers and run away by myself, and after returning home, Wan Nu pointed out, and the family still has a way to live?
The current ashigaru family is all for satiety, and the ten-man team will collapse if it loses one or two. I pondered that if I was so arranged, I would not be more than half dead, and the Spo family would never collapse.
Moreover, a walking Ji samurai is at least thirty or sixty koku a year, and the cost of ashigaru plus the imperial loan is not more than ten koku a year, one-sixth of which is like a Ji samurai.
Although it is not as hard as the Ji samurai since childhood, as long as three or four people are strictly trained to top one Ji samurai, it is worth it.
Besides, there are no retainers in the Sibo family tree, how to ensure their loyalty with foreign Ji warriors? According to the Lord's practice, the Ashigaru family all relied on the Spo family, and their loyalty was far more credible than that of the foreign Ji samurai. ”
Yang Nai doesn't understand military affairs, and he is speechless by what interests say. But she is responsible for the money and food, so she naturally has to calculate it clearly.
"How can you support the family's ashigaru expenses doubled?"
"Recruitment is halved, and ten people will be recruited if you don't recruit twenty."
Yiyin listened to the words of interest, and found that his idea of being soft-hearted for a while seemed to be really feasible, and he was overjoyed and said decisively.
"However, this matter should not be spread outside, let other families know that for fear of causing a riot, the martial arts will be dissatisfied with the Spo family."
Benefits added. Yiyin and Yono nodded. This thing is not difficult, the feudal society is more than ten miles away, and the chickens and dogs hear each other but never see each other for life.
Each village is very closed, and as long as it is not the upper-class martial arts family who has the intention to spread it, they will not know the details of each family for a hundred years. The three daughters sitting here are all die-hard members of the Spo family, so naturally there is nothing to do.
Ashigaru later knew that as long as he threatened to say that the outside knew about it, he would cancel the law, and for his own interests, he would not spread it if he killed them.
"So it was decided. The detailed rules are to be formulated by the two of you together, and I will observe and carry them out. ”
Yiyin slapped the table to finalize the matter. The interests were very happy, and they bowed carefully to congratulate.
"The Lord is wise and brave in this move, and after the Spo Ashigaru Law, the Spo family is all Ji Samurai."
Ashigaru samurai. That's because you have a strong brain replenishment ability.,I didn't think about it so much at all.。。 Yiyin looked at her speechlessly.
You just blow it, Ji Wushi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, how can it be replaced by such a simple one, he just wants to make his conscience feel better.
