Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 187 Autumn Harvest Land Transferring

There were too few recreational activities in ancient times. Men could recite poems, compose poems, go on a boat trip, or set up a game of Go, while women could only hide in the courtyard and study "The Tale of Genji" or play small games such as Shuanglu and Touhu to pass the time. , It is precisely because of this boring life that the emptiness and corruption of aristocratic culture have been born, which makes praying to God and Buddha the only spiritual sustenance.

Therefore, since the introduction of Boju Shuanglu in the Tang Dynasty, it has become an enduring entertainment and gaming game for the upper class in Japan. It was not until today when Kira Yoshishi created a game called Dahaoshang that it completely broke the shackles of Shuanglu's monopoly on entertainment items. Go and poetry are different. The game called Dahaoshang is closer to life. Every scenery in Japan has become a means of business. It not only introduces the culture of each place, but also is an interesting and educational game.

When Konoe Haruji presented this game at each monthly song meeting, it was immediately unanimously loved by the ministers. This game greatly weakened the characteristics of gambling and improved the fun of multiplayer games, except for a few In addition to the Gongqing vigorously criticizing it on the grounds of corrupting the atmosphere and promoting a business-oriented culture, the government and the opposition did not say a word about this matter, but privately they have a very high evaluation of this game.

Many ministers approached Konoe Seiji hoping to buy a set of Dahao merchant games. After receiving the support of Kira Yoshitomi, the manor under the Konoe family began to produce and sell a complete set of exquisite Dahao merchant tools. Konoe Seiji also promised all profits They were all handed over to Katsuhime Ashikaga for safekeeping.

This year's autumn harvest was completed very smoothly. With tens of thousands more labor resources, the grain in the two counties was harvested, threshed, and dried within a month.The process of hoarding.The results of the statistics at the beginning of October.The Kira family directly owned [-] koku in Shiga and Takashima counties, including [-] koku of Otsu Usayama Castle, [-] koku of Kiyomizu Mountain Castle in Takashima County, [-] koku near Sakamoto Castle, and Newly purchased Enryaku-ji Kanda Seven Thousand Stones.

"The total stone height of the two counties has exceeded 15 stone for the first time! This family has become the largest lord of the two counties, which is a lot more than the direct leader in Sanhe. This is really unexpected!" Seeing the sent During the briefing, Kira Yoshishi smiled silently.Now who dares to say that his coming to Kyoto was a mistake?

In Kira’s family’s industry, recasting copper coins is the most profitable, and it can bring him 200 new coins every day. With sufficient coins in the market and the high-quality Yongle coins of the original copper 8 lead 2, they can be melted into copper materials for production For Yongle money with 4 copper and 6 lead, the copper house does not have to worry about the shortage of raw materials. The profits in the exchange of three goods are huge, not only the handling fee on the surface, but also the hidden profit from exchange rate manipulation, which can make the money of the three places The house brings an average of 1000 Yongle money to the Kira family every month.

At the same time, Sanhe New Salt sells the shares belonging to the Kira family every month.And the sale of the new salt of Mikawa Kira family's retainers can also guarantee a profit of 1200 guan qian, about 300 guan yongle qian.The monthly business tax of Sakamoto Town is as high as hundreds of guan, not to mention the income of the Sanhe house, the Pipa house can get 300 guan of Yongle money every month.

Monopolizing the horse trading business in Hokuriku is to make a steady profit without losing money, but the Pipa House did not have such a great influence at the beginning of its establishment. Many merchants walking on the commercial road have doubts about the credibility of Sakamoto Town. It only takes a year and a half Over time, merchants gradually got used to the discounts and conveniences of Sakamoto Town, and their income would increase greatly.

As the Kira family quietly became the largest lord of the two counties, their dominance was unshakable, and Shiga County, which was fully built, also attracted dissatisfaction from the people of Takashima County. They appealed one after another at the evaluation meeting at the end of October, demanding Takashima County also needs to build a new town, and the general public is willing to pay for it.

After discussions at the evaluation meeting, a plan was made to formulate the new town of Azumi River, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the [-] stones in Takashima County under the Kira family must be transferred accordingly, because the rich family's territory was inherited. This is the same as the purchase of land by landlords in ancient China. It is not easy to buy a piece of land that is connected to each other. The same is true for the [-] shi territories acquired by the Kira family. It is divided into two parts, the Azumi River area and the lake shore in the north.

Kira Yoshitoshi proposed a transfer plan to exchange the territories of several families with the Kira family, and use the rich land in the northern lakeside area to exchange the land in the Azumina River Basin, so that the territories of the Kira family in Takashima County were integrated as a whole. In exchange he would also build twenty new towns for the lords on the northern shores of the lake.

After more than half a year of confrontation, Miyoshi Changqing felt that it really could not go on like this. Since March this year, he has confronted the Hatakeyama family at the Jiaoxing Temple in Hanoi. People, but this is simply scratching the itch for both parties, and the situation is still deadlocked and no one can do anything about it.

Just after the autumn harvest in August, Hosokawa Harumoto and Rokkaku Yoshiken wanted to pick up the leaks. The two of them acted as spoilers again, leading an army of [-] to approach Hanoi, showing their support for Hatakeyama Gaozheng's attitude. The confrontational situation became more and more difficult, so in late October, Miyoshi Changqing, who had been planning for half a year, was determined to make a change.

The Miyoshi Army left the base of the Jiaoxing Temple and moved towards Wakae Castle. The Hatakeyama family and the Tsutsui Allied Forces immediately discovered the movement of the Miyoshi Army, so they left the main camp and began to pursue, but the Miyoshi family suddenly turned their heads to face the Tsutsui Allied Forces. The people of the Yamato country launched an attack, with an army of [-] against an army of [-]. The Tsutsui Allied Forces who were caught off guard were defeated and fled.

Immediately afterwards, the Miyoshi army turned its direction again, and fought a fierce joint battle in the wilderness north of Zhengjue Temple in the northern part of Hanoi. The total strength of the army exceeded 6, and the iron artillery team invested also set a new historical record.

This is due to the influence of the Kira Army's joint battle last summer. The Iron Cannon Team and the Bakered Jade Team showed great power. Even if they did not witness the real scene, it was enough to make many people fantasize. Naturally, they will not let go of the plan to arm the iron cannons. This time, the Miyoshi family has invested a total of [-] iron cannons in Ashgaru. The Miyoshi family, which is backed by Sakai Town, has a sufficient supply of iron cannons, which makes it take the lead on the battlefield.

The Hatakeyama family is actually not bad. Kii’s Nelaizhong has a wealth of iron cannon forging technology. Mercenaries, this time Hatakeyama Takamasa paid a lot of money to hire [-] Genlaimen, all of them equipped with the Kishu barrels produced by themselves, and became the main combat force of the Hatakeyama family.

This battle happened to happen on October 28th. While a grand wedding was being held in Kyoto, a thrilling battle was also taking place in Zhengjue Temple in Hanoi. The battle lasted from early morning to evening. The main general put all the reserves into the battlefield, and the sound of shouts and fighting resounded through the wilderness. In the end, the Miyoshi family relied on the 2000-man ranger led by Matsunaga Nagayori to attack the exhausted flank of the Hatakeyama family, and defeated the Hatakeyama army in one fell swoop.

With the collapse of the former army of the Hatakeyama family, the 4000 troops retreated row after row like colliding dominoes. Hatakeyama Takamasa had no choice but to flee back to Takaya Castle under the escort of his retainers. In this battle, more than [-] people of the Hatakeyama family died in battle, and the number of people who were seriously injured or injured and lost their combat effectiveness exceeded one to one. This battle also severely damaged the vitality of the Hatakeyama family.

The joint army of Hosokawa Harumoto and Rokkaku Yoshin was still slow to respond. By the time they received the news, Hatakeyama's army had already begun to collapse. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Rokkaku Yoshiken called his brother-in-law Hosokawa Harumoto to discuss countermeasures. Then the news of the outbreak of the Daning Temple came, and Liujiao Dingyai, who had been in poor health since the beginning of the year, suddenly received a critical illness notice. Now Harumoto Hosokawa and Yoshiken Liujiao directly pulled up the army and ran without hesitation. road.

Sanjo is the former father-in-law of Hosokawa Harumoto, and he and the current father-in-law adopted Sanjo's youngest daughter. At this time, Liujiao Dinglai suddenly became critically ill. The two brothers ran back to Omi in panic like chickens who had lost their trust. As for the Hatakeyama family, they only sent envoys to give a few casual remarks.

Miyoshi Yoshiken, who commanded an army of [-], had no intention of pursuing the army of the Liujia family at all. In order to deal with the army of the Hatakeyama family, he also wasted more than half a year in the army. Living a miserable life where he could only hold tea parties and singing parties in front of the battle for half a year, surrounded by a bunch of reckless men who stink of sweat and feet, Miyoshi Yoshiken felt that his olfactory system was on the verge of collapse.

The Miyoshi Army won the first battle, and more than [-] people died in the battle. However, the number of injured people was the same as that of the Hatakeyama family. Although the situation has collapsed, the fundamentals have not been lost, and it will not be easy to continue to guard Sanhao's family in the cage city.

The two sides have fought to such an extent, it is naturally impossible to continue to fight the dangerous pass, the only choice is to reach peace, but the second pole Hatakeyama Takamasa was defeated miserably, but he was a real stunned young man, he gritted his teeth and resolutely refused to talk about peace. But Miyoshi Changqing was troubled. He really didn't want to waste time on the Hatakeyama family like a dog's skin plaster, so Miyoshi Yoshiken suggested to take his idea to the court.

Miyoshi Yoshiken invited Hino Gonada Nagon Haruki from the imperial court. His family, Hirohashi Kunimitsu, was the minister who was scared away by Miyoshi's family and ran away to Nakao Castle. Although there are many powers in the imperial court, some of them are in fact Those who resigned in a year or so or even three or two months, these ministers can also be called power da nayan, otherwise how can the positions of those power da nayan be enough to share the profits of so many minister families.

Hino Haruki came forward as an intermediary, and Hatakeyama Takamasa and Anmi Zongboyi discussed that it would be better to borrow a donkey from the slope, so everyone felt that it was quite face-saving, "Look, it's not me who wants to make peace with you, it's the imperial court that makes us make peace , so we are harmonious!" The rest is hello, hello, hello everyone, Hino Qingguang eats, drinks, takes a hard fee and leaves.

At the post-war evaluation meeting of the Miyoshi family, the officials gathered together to sing and dance. After half a year of fighting, they were finally relieved. Not only the retainers were excited, but even Miyoshi Changqing was also very happy. The list, a group of three good retainers happily received the reward, and then a lively dinner was held directly. The warriors who had worked hard for half a year were finally able to drink to their heart's content. When everyone was happy, only Matsunaga Hideo was depressed. (To be continued..)
