Chapter Thirty-Eight: Each Has His Own Way in His Heart, and Prepared for Subscription Enlightenment

"Do you carry out the way of your heart with testimonies? It is no wonder that after Takeda Shingen ascended to the throne, he began to compile and continuously improve the "Koshu Fa Du Jidi", and spent a lot of energy specifying in detail the trivial matters of farming, trading, mining, water conservancy, tax payment, and other folk matters that other lords never disdained. In his view, it is necessary to turn the people of a country into a nest of ants, acting according to the same will, the same standard, and the same model. Jing Zhen secretly thought,

However, just as Takeda Shintora used everything as a tool of war, the generals regarded the people as a perennial herb of the lily family that had been growing repeatedly for many years and could be cut off again and again (leek: you can report my ID number). In the final analysis, the people-oriented in Takeda Shingen's heart is still the country-based and the king-oriented, that is, the family is greater than the country, the monarch and the people.

He attaches great importance to the suffering of the people, and puts forward and practices the concept of the law as the first word and the equality of all people, but the end of the law is still his own will. Caring for the people's livelihood and caring for civil affairs is only a way for them to implement their own will, not a specific respect for the people as a group.

In the era of the Warring States Period, it may not be impossible to serve as an auxiliary means of monarchical governance, but if it is raised to the level of statecraft, it will abandon the basics and pursue the end, and it may achieve certain results in some aspects in a short period of time, but it cannot solve the various contradictions and problems faced in social development, especially unable to form a long-term mechanism to solve problems. If you die, the gains will diminish or die, and you will eventually have to find new solutions.

Just like the legendary Akabei Legion that he single-handedly created, each of the samurai in it was burdened with honor and nurturing, but also bound and lost his personal will for this reason, becoming a piece of steel in this sword called Kai Takeda.

However, even the best sword is no match for the blazing gunpowder. The legendary cause of the unity of one country in front of this young man will eventually be destroyed by another completely out-of-the-ordinary revolutionary figure only ten years after his death.

Thinking of this, Jingzhen was half lost and half excited.

The Lost, the young man in front of him was the Sengoku Daimyo he admired the most (Kanosuke: Obviously I'm the idol NO.1. Jingzhen: Dear, of course you will always be the first, but you are not a big name! The description of later generations even raised its governance to the throne of God, but after some talking, it was found that after all, it still couldn't get rid of the shackles of the times and vision, and couldn't get rid of its own ambitions.

Those who are excited, standing on the shoulders of 500 years of history, see the answer to the future, and have the opportunity to shape history in their hands! I can surpass this teenager, and even more so beyond the "fifty years like a dream", and lead this era to an incredible situation.

Looking at Jingzhen's ever-changing face, Takeda Shingen thought that he had been moved by his bold words, and waited for his answer with a smile.

"I will fully support the ideals of Katsuchiyo-sama!"

Although he vetoed the path of Takeda Shingen in his heart, in the face of the olive branch he threw out, Jingzhen did not refuse. Although he is only a temporary worker, unless he chooses to run away with a bucket now, he is not qualified to say no to the boss, and he is already very uncomfortable being sandwiched between the Ganli clan and the Cave Mountain clan, but he can't offend the prince again. Moreover, although Takeda Shingen is the eldest son of Takeda Shinto, after all, he has no yuan service and cannot formally establish a team, and he must guard against Takeda Shinto's jealousy, so he will not dare to get too close to the important ministers in the family (Takeda Shinhu: Hehe, you call yourself a heavy minister with two thousand stones), and he can still retain considerable freedom.

But Jingzhen was also afraid that he would further tie himself to the chariot, so he changed the subject,

"Katsuchiyo-sama just mentioned that it is certainly a good idea to formulate laws, stipulate rewards and punishments, and bind merchants to accept a fixed-price trading futures. However, there are still hundreds of millions of small details that need to be discussed and perfected, such as how to distribute shares, how to agree on contributions, and how to determine rewards and punishments. ”

Although he was not optimistic about the method proposed by Takeda Shingen in his heart, it was too unwise to jump out against the first plan carefully prepared by him as soon as he recognized the new boss. Jingzhen didn't say much, but honestly and Takeda Shingen deliberated on the decree one by one, but he had a hidden feeling that this matter would have a lot of waves.

Once a person's premonition is generated, it tends to deepen. When the two discussed until the third day, the omen in Jingzhen's heart intensified. This matter is not only Takeda Shingen's first political achievement, but also his entire reliance to save his life in the future war, and it must not fail. Therefore, seeing that the law has been basically formed, and it will take some time to gather domestic merchants, Jingzhen applied to return to the territory to organize production on the grounds of preparing samples of Ming Guojiao, and Takeda Shingen sat in the Heritation Pavilion to continue to improve the terms of the law, and used the connections of the young master to coordinate the convening of merchants and on-site preparations. Seven days later, on the morning of the day, the futures subscription was officially launched at Kofu no Machi, next to the Tsugasaki Building.

In fact, after returning to Jumo County, Jingzhen did not stay, and after only briefly explaining to Kudo Yucho about the preparation of the second batch of products and the preparation of the holding utensils, he took all the remaining Ming Guoyu and the five hundred taels of gold advanced to Takeda Nobuhu with the profits of his own family after the sale of this futures (Takeda Nobuto: It is impossible for you to borrow copper coins and silver, and how much gold you want), and Mibuchi Fuji and the two of them quickly sneaked back to Kyoto. Five days later, in the middle of the night, the two returned to the territory exhausted, and all the gold they had brought with them had been exchanged for rolls of paperwork. But judging from the excited looks of the two, this matter is stable.

Mibuchi Fuji began to rest after leaving the tolerance, but Jingzhen still couldn't escape the fate of overtime. In the next two days, he and Yucho Kudo worked together to package and process the second batch of Ming Guoyu, and then hurriedly escorted the products to the Kushizaki Pavilion to meet with Takeda Shingen. Here, the law drawn up by Takeda Shingen has also been finalized and approved by Takeda Shintora, and the subscription venue, merchants' accommodation, and perimeter security of Kofu no Town have also been prepared.

At this point, the first Ming Guoyu Commodity Meeting and Subscription Ceremony exclusively planned by Kai Takeda has been prepared, and the insurance buried by Jingzhen has also been properly placed. As merchants from various prefectures and even neighboring countries arrive in Kofu Town, a war in the merchant sea is about to begin!
