Chapter 442
Coming out of Juledi, Hideka stayed in Kyoto for a few days after visiting Toyotomi Hidecho for the first time.
One is to wait for the ginseng sent from Okayama, the Xiu family needs to send it to Xiuchang's mansion by hand, as for Mingyi Jule Dili, there is ready-made.
The second is to wait for the final negotiation between Hideonaga and Hideyoshi. After waiting for about ten days, after hearing the news from Hideonaga that the overall situation has basically been determined, the Hideka went back to Okayama non-stop.
After Xiujia participated in the small meeting, he knew that he needed to be responsible for one aspect of the battle alone. Knowing in advance that the war would inevitably be postponed, he had to do a good job in material support.
So the first thing they did when they returned to Okayama was to ask Osafune Sadakin to increase the budget for going to Kanto to buy food, and at the same time let them go to Kyushu and other places to buy food.
Facts have proved that Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Hideka wanted to go together. After Hideka left, he held a small meeting with Asano Nagamasa and Ishida Mitsunari, asking them to follow the story of Tottori and go to the Kanto region to buy food.
So for a while, merchants from Toyotomi and Ukita bought grain in the Kanto area in the name of the famine in the West, and the price of grain in the Kanto area soared in a short period of time.
The most important thing is that Hideyoshi not only bought grain in Kanto, but also let Tokugawa Ieyasu buy grain in the Tokaido and Koshin areas, and let Maeda Toshiie and Uesugi Kekatsu buy grain in the Echigo area, which caused the price of grain around the Kanto to rise sharply.
Because Hideyoshi received the news from Hideyoshi earlier, Ogasawara Hideyoshi also purchased food with Hideyoshi in Koshin and the Kanto region in advance for stockpiling. When Hideyoshi’s second letter arrived with Hideyoshi’s order to prepare military rations , he is almost ready.
Sanada Nobuyuki, the only one in the Shinano area without a backer, was much more miserable. He was not close to Tokugawa, and he hated Uesugi and Hideka one after another. When he received Hideyoshi's order to prepare military rations for the Northern Army Already doubled.
Not to mention preparing food according to the requirements, even the army rations when I go out may not be able to complete.
The merchants on Hideyoshi's side saw that the price of grain in the Kanto area was already inflated, so they simply ran away to buy grain from the Northeast, and transported it by water to Suruga and then to Matsumoto.
Tokugawa Ieyasu of Suruga was also ordered to stockpile grain. His original request was that the grains of the merchants in the territory should not be exported, and the grains of many grain merchants were directly confiscated by him.
Even for companies with other daimyo backgrounds, passing grain merchants are also required to pay 2% of the grain tax. In a short period of time, Tokugawa Ieyasu’s hoarding of grain has long exceeded his own needs, and it has completely become a search from the people through policy orders. riches.
But when faced with dozens of merchant ships full of grain approaching Suruga Shimizu Town from the northeast, they could only order to let them go despite their greed.
Without him, it's all because this caravan is wearing the gentian Wuqitong pattern imperial flag representing the Xiu family. The Wuqitong pattern flag is now a treasure. There are only a handful of names in the whole world that can match this flag. Ieyasu is really rare. Willing to mess with Xiujia.
With the abnormally high food prices in a short period of time, coupled with the obvious hostility of the surrounding daimyo towards him, it is impossible for the Hojo Ujimasa and Hojo Uji Nao father and son who are in the whirlpool to not understand that this is a signal of war.
But when they reacted, it was already too late. The price of food in the Kanto region was already ridiculously high, and in some places the price of food had already risen to the point where it was the same price as gold.
Faced with the current situation, if the tax is collected from the local people with the high system as usual, the people only need to resell a small amount of grain to pay the tax, but the Hojo family can't buy grain with this money!
Remember what I said earlier about the convenience of the Kanko system daimyo harvesting grain during the autumn harvest?
Although the official statistics of the Guangao system and the Shigao system are only calculated on paper, in reality, after the autumn harvest, grain increases in a short period of time, forming a buyer's market. Farmers can only sell more at a low price before tax. Lots of food.
After receiving the pre-tax, Daming and the lords bought more grain from the merchants at a low price than the standard stone high system. Even if this part of the grain is not eaten, it will be sold when the spring is not harvested next year. It can also make a lot of profit.
It can be said that whether it is Japan's high system or the Ming Dynasty's whip law, it essentially simplifies the tax collection process, but when the productivity is underdeveloped and grain is used as an equivalent currency, it is a law that entraps farmers .
In addition, the stone-height system is more flexible than the high-level system. For example, a small village has no way to plant land in the deep mountains, but the trees are rich in charcoal, so charcoal can be used to offset the land rent, and only a certain amount of charcoal needs to be handed in every year. The grain grown on a small amount of land is left for the villagers to eat.
But if it is the old high-speed system, then farmers have to carry their grain and charcoal out of the mountains to sell, and exchange it for money to pay taxes to the feudal lords. There were no highways in ancient times, and the food and labor costs consumed along the way were huge. It is very high, which makes the peasants miserable.
For example, if you are a farmer, the lord wants you to give me 20 RMB as tax payment.
And your farmer only has Japanese yen in his hands, so you have to exchange it into RMB to give it to me, but there are few RMB in the market, you can’t exchange it with 17 yen, and you may need to spend 25 or 30 yuan to exchange it, so you need more Pay the cost to complete the tax payment.
Or my lord is kind and said that it is okay to accept Japanese yen, but my lord, I have to pay a handling fee when I go to Kyoto to exchange, so you can't give me 340 yen, but you have to give me 500 or even 600 yen.
You are a farmer, are you willing to accept it?
The Kanko system itself is a residual product of the manor system economy left over from the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. The calculated land tax is false. In short, you can understand it as the tears of the times. By the time of the Azuchi-Momoyama era, it has seriously hindered the growth of productivity. develop.
However, compared with the Western Kingdom, the Kanto region is more retro, more accepting of oppression, and more respectful of the samurai class.
Because many ordinary people are descendants of the conquered Ainu hundreds of years ago, they have been indoctrinated with oppressed ideas for hundreds of years.
But the West Country is different. Most of the people are descendants of the Yamato nation. For thousands of years, the lords of the West Country have long been unable to bear it.
Especially after the Yingren Rebellion, if there is an incident in the territory, it is very likely that the surrounding tyrants will find the right opportunity to pick the fruit, and finally lose the territory completely.
This made it impossible to oppress ordinary people without restriction. In order to preserve the territory and unite the people in the territory, many big names in the Western Kingdom were forced to start the reform of the Shigao system.
But Kanto is different. The lords have enjoyed the pleasure of oppressing the lower class people for hundreds of years from top to bottom, so they are naturally unwilling to change the Shigao system immediately.
But this time is different. If the high-level system is maintained, then the tax money collected this year will not even be able to buy grain.
As for the rest of the grain after the taxation, the public is not allowed to sell it at will. If you want to sell it, you can only sell it to the company designated by the Hojo family. As for the price, Master Hojo kindly allows you to increase it by [-]% on the basis of equivalent exchange before tax. .
Do you think it is too much?
What is even more extreme is still to come. In order to prevent the common people from selling grain to businesses at will, the scholar Tokugawa Ieyasu closed the border to prevent grain from being shipped out.
The purpose is to let other firms that do not have the Hojo endorsement even if they collect the grain, they can only sell it to the Hojo family at a loss at the official price.
But the key is that these merchants more or less have the shadows of various wealthy families in the Hojo Territory!
These rich families originally planned to take advantage of the Hojo clan's east wind to eat the blood of the rural natives, but who would have thought that the Hojo clan would directly blow them away together.
Looking back at the Hide family, the Hide family who had finally returned to Okayama from Kyoto not only asked Osafune Sadakin to be responsible for the purchase of military rations, but also asked him to notify all the rich families in the territory to hold a grand evaluation in Okayama Castle on June 6. .
Before that, Xiujia needs to hold a small meeting with his core team to hear the news from Kyoto.
In particular, the matter of transferring the seal of Guandong affects the whole body. If the Xiu family can't get rid of the few elders who account for a quarter of the family's knowledge and practice before the big evaluation, then it is very likely to cause even greater riots at the evaluation meeting.
The fact is just as Xiujia thought, when Xiujia informed everyone of Hideyoshi's plan to transfer himself to Kanto, they all expressed resistance.
Gang Lisheng yelled directly, "Fuck him, exchange the land of the seven countries of Jibei that we have developed for so long for the bird land in Kanto. Whoever wants to go with this matter, I will definitely not accompany it."
Unlike Gang Lisheng's violent temper, Osafune Sadakin is relatively gentle. He first looked at Gang Lisheng and comforted him and said, "Although my family has a total of 7 million shi in the seven kingdoms of Jibei, it is actually unsealable.
Although it spans across seven countries, the wasteland in the territory has actually been expanded, and the upper limit of knowledge and action lies here, but it is different when it is transferred to the Kanto.
Not to mention that Mr. Guan Bai promised to give us 20 shi as compensation, which is reasonable. Although the Kanto land is bad, it is because of the troubles of rivers and swamps. "
Osafune Sadakin is the elder of the family's pen. He knows the situation of the family clearly, and naturally knows the limitations of the Kibi Seven Kingdoms, so he is slightly inclined to transfer the Kanto.
Seeing the old writer's statement, Fujido Takatora also said, "As Misaku Mamoru said, although the land of Kanto doesn't look very good now, it still has great potential for development.
When I was traveling in Japan, I went to Kanto. There are many rivers and rivers, and the water conservancy is quite developed.
Besides, according to my estimation, after the crusade against Hojo is over, none of the big names in the Northeast will dare to resist His Highness Guan Bai, and the world will enter a period of peace.
Exchanging a piece of land that has exhausted its development potential for a piece of land with great development value in the next few decades is not a loss in any way, and His Highness Guan Bai has already replenished us with 20 shi this time. "
Speaking of which, Fujido Takatora is talking about the benefits of resealing Kanto, but at this time the conversation turned to Hideka and said, "But the Kanto gate, Sagami, and the two countries of Izu are no longer in the hands of the family, and the land of Kanto is all plains. There are risks.
If the family is transferred to Kanto, and if the Kyoto incident affects the family, then the family will be like fish on a chopping board, which is hard to resist! "
Fujido Takatora's words resonated with many people in the hall, Oka Likatsu once again yelled at the Hide family, "My lord should have been tougher at that time, and asked His Highness Hidecho to ask Sagami Izu. Now that the situation is uncertain, you can send a message to Kyoto again. , bluntly said that if Izu Sagami doesn't give it to me, I won't reseal it!"
In the face of Okatoshi Katsuki's ghostly cry, Xiujia ignored it, looked at his brother-in-law Todo Takatora and asked, "Is it possible that I don't know after you have said so much?
I once suggested to my uncle to move Ogasawara's attendant Shinano to the position of Sagami, so that he could be used as a buffer between the main family and the Tokugawa family, but it was rejected. Tell me why His Highness Kanbai must give Izu Sagami to Tokugawa ah? "
"This"
When Todo Takatora was momentarily at a loss for words, the elders sitting at the bottom of the table walked and said, "Izu Sagami is like the key to Kanto, and it is enough to influence the balance of power in anyone's hands.
The knowledge and knowledge of the main family is slightly stronger than that of Tokugawa and Uesugi. If Izu Sagami is given to the main family, it will be equivalent to the second Kanto Gongfang. At that time, the door will be closed and the Kyoto side will only be able to watch.
I think His Highness Guanbai should follow the old example of Hanzhong's division of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty this time, and assign Izu Sagami to Tokugawa to make it the first gate to block the westward advance of the family. "
After finishing speaking, he told these people in the hall about the grievances and grievances between Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Shaanxi. After listening, they basically understood the reason.
Jiwa Jiuhu continued, "Izu and Sagami are too important, and there are daimyo on the left and right.
If this piece of land is not given to any party, but to a neutral daimyo, or if it is under the direct control of His Royal Highness, I am afraid that this piece of land will be no different from directly giving it to the family.
Because the main family is stronger than Tokugawa in terms of military power, food and economic strength, and has an absolute advantage in penetrating Izu and Sagami.
For Tokugawa, it's fine if Izu Sagami doesn't give it to me. He won't have the motivation to infiltrate these two lands. Why should he offend the lord for these two lands?
On the contrary, His Highness Guanbai took the initiative to give these two pieces of land to Tokugawa. Tokugawa would have conflicts of interest in Izu, Sagami and the main family, so there would be a reason to fight against the main family. "
It’s just that Oka Likatsu and Ukita’s family still didn’t ask him, “Just now, Your Highness said that the purpose of transferring the seal of Kanto was to keep Tokugawa, but now you have given the key to Tokugawa. You also said that Tokugawa became The first gate that blocks the west of the family, isn’t that the Tokugawa guarding the family?”
"That's the truth," Jiwa Jiuhu continued to reply, "The purpose of transferring the seal of Guandong from my family is to fulfill the old affairs of the Guandong government and fulfill the responsibility of guarding the Kanto.
However, His Royal Highness Guan Bai was also afraid that we would be in harmony with Beijing and China like the later Guandong Gongfang, so it is not so much that our family is watching over Tokugawa and Uesugi, rather than letting our three families restrain each other. "
"Do it!" Gang Lisheng became even more angry when he heard this answer, "I waited for it, and for his dream of the people in the world, I don't know how many people died, but in the end he treated us like this." .”
Gang Lisheng became more and more angry, his old face was flushed with anger, his chest was heaving and heaving, and he said something that shocked everyone in the hall, "According to me, we don't accept his birdishness." , directly rise up against him!"
