Chapter 544 The Price of Life

Ben Zhuang actually lowered her head and didn't dare to look any more, her heart was awe-inspiring.

The family governor wants to kill, and he is an important minister.

Politics is not about fighting, throwing fists at each other when there is disagreement.If you want to eliminate a political enemy, but you don't want to destabilize the political situation, what should you do?
The superior will choose to cut off the wings of the political opponent first, buy off the neutral party, minimize the negative impact, and finally kill her.

Uesugi Terutora wants to kill people, first use tens of thousands of kan to smash the new Uesugi retainer group, Nagao has a whole family, so who does she want to kill?
Benzhuang really had the answer in her heart, which made her heart beat faster.

Can tens of thousands of coins be exchanged for the lives of a few important officials?Yes, but the consequences are endless.

As long as it doesn't target the Wu family group itself, it's not a problem for Ji warriors to kill a few people who don't like it.

If the governor spends tens of thousands of guns to kill people every year, some warriors are willing to queue up to die.

In this barren island country, human life is really worthless, and the interests of the samurai group are the most important.

Like a long tail.

The height of Echigo stone is [-] shi, and with the addition of various specialty resources, the mobilization force is about [-] shi, that is, [-] reserve troops, about [-] troops.

Among them, the new Uesugi vassal regiment of Joetsu Chuetsu has about [-] reserve teams.

Among the twenty-five reserve teams, there are about four to five hundred Ji warriors in the Shuliu side branch, with the three long tails and one sect as the core.

Most of these Ji warriors are low-level warriors, and less than one-tenth of the warriors have more than five hundred shi.

The low-level Ji warriors with more than a dozen salaries not only have to support their families, but also have to prepare some military supplies by themselves, and their lives are extremely miserable.

If you die in battle and don't get a few stones back to Zhixing, what will your family do?When people die, their salary stops, but there is no food to eat.

Maeda Masaru is an example. Her mother was the concubine of the Takigawa family, and her father died of starvation after the war.

She was lucky to be adopted by Maeda Toshihisa who came to visit, otherwise she would end up starving to death.

Even the middle-level warrior Ji, who was able to block five hundred stones, had a hard time.Carefully maintain the family business, accidentally fell into the dust.

Uesugi Terotora gave them [-] to [-] copper coins, what does it mean to them?
No matter how high or low their status is, every warrior Ji can be allocated at least one year's salary, which they can save themselves, which may never be saved.

With this money.

Their husbands don't need to be short of food and clothing after they die in battle.Either die in poverty, or remarry with their children.

Their children can use the money to grow up smoothly after they die in battle.When you grow strong enough to pick up a sword, you will be rewarded by the public.

And what the Nagao family needs to pay is to keep their mouths shut when Uesugi Terutora hacked Nagao Masake to death.

How to choose between husband and daughter and Ueda Nagao's family governor?No Ji warrior can choose wrongly.

What's the big deal if the house governor dies and another one is established?As long as the interests of the family are not damaged, it is fine for the big boss to be happy.

If Uesugi Terutora is willing to pay, he can slaughter a Ueda Nagao family supervisor every year, and the Nagao family will do it themselves, and they will not be soft-hearted.

In the eyes of Changwei's family, Changwei's political situation is really not as important as the tens of thousands of money.

In the same way, Usami Dingman is the same.

Usami Dingman, who offended the governor, can be kicked out as long as the price is right.

Benzhuang is really cold as ice, every samurai can be discarded, but he can't afford the price.

And Uesugi Terutora really willing to pay this price, the fate of those two is self-evident.

Thirty to forty thousand kan is enough for six or seven reserve teams for a year. Uesugi Terotora is really jealous, and he is determined to kill these two bastards who hinder her from pursuing Yoshiyin Shiba.

Although the Echigo samurai do not want Uesugi Terutora to tease Shiba Yoshiyin in the face of long-term interests.

But she spent too much money!Then just stop for a few days after collecting the money, and the fool will have trouble with the money!
As for Nagao Masakei and Usami Dingman, please go all the way, we will remember the loyalty of the two to the Uesugi family, woo woo woo.

Ben Zhuang was in a cold sweat, she completely understood what the family governor was thinking.

Kill people and punish their hearts, express their attitude in the most violent way, and use the blood of important ministers to frighten those who advise them.

But this approach is too extreme.

Indeed, the governor of the family can use the method of bribery to kill important ministers.The life of a samurai family has a price, and if the benefits are sufficient, they can be killed.

But human nature is greedy for life, and this incident will plant a seed of fear in the hearts of high-level warriors, making them understand that they will be killed by the middle and lower-level Ji warriors and the family governor at any time.

This move will deprive them of their sense of security, which is not conducive to the long-term family business and the return of their retainers.

The ruler needs a solid political pyramid to control the lower levels, not destroy this structure.

Ben Zhuang really hesitated for a moment and persuaded.

"Your Highness, the amount of these proceeds is too large. Can you consider transporting them to a private treasury to store them for future wars?"

She didn't dare to speak out to admonish her, so she could only find a reason in a roundabout way.

Uesugi Terutora looked at her with a cold expression.

"Ben Zhuangji, you and I are both a teacher and a friend. You know my personality very well. Have you noticed that I don't drink much recently.

Do you know why?Because I have more important things to do. "

Uesugi Terutora patiently said a few words of truth to her closest minister, she said.

"I have a goal, I want the Kanto Plain to be mine, and I want to be more noble than the one in Kyoto.

Because, I want to marry Shibo Yoshin, I want to have a child with him, and I want our child to become the most honorable person in the world! "

Ben Zhuang really didn't dare to listen any longer, she put her head on the tatami and knelt down to worship.

Uesugi Terutora walked up to her, leaned over and lowered his head, and whispered in her ear.

"Ben Zhuang Ji, please help me, I promise you a lifetime of wealth and honor, and your descendants can enjoy endless blessings."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Shino Honjo understood it very well.

If you don't help her, and then speak for those who make trouble, then you are the enemy of Uesugi Terutoro, let's die together.

Terotora Uesugi chose a path of thorns and thorns, never retreating.Either make it to the summit, or be smashed to pieces.

How can this village really choose?Impossible to object to!
Even if there is no hope for Shangluo, with Uesugi Terutora's ability and Echigo's current situation, it is still possible to give it a go to dominate Kanto.

Benzhuang is actually grabbing the land with his head, said.

"I would like to die for His Highness!"

Uesugi Terutora nodded and said.

"Pass out the copper coins and the announcement.

I will write a letter and send it to Qiji City, admonishing Nagao Jingxin for not being able to take care of Nagao's political situation, and making her stop and reflect. "

The village was really shocked.

It is impossible for the Chinese and Vietnamese Nagao's family to move, and Nagao Jingxin was ordered to be grounded. This is to protect her, lest she be involved by the other two and fall into a crisis.

Uesugi Terutora said again.

"Ueda Nagao's family supervised the government, and it was found that he was involved in the Sino-Vietnamese rebellion and conspired against the law. Imprisoned in Sakado Castle, awaiting disposal!

Usami Dingman has no way to teach her children, and Usami is willing to cling to her without hesitating her name, causing rumors to spread everywhere, let her give me an explanation! "
