Chapter 1074: Xing Sheng's plan(2/2)
The Kachi family is the head of the Sasaki Party of the old Yangbei clan, and Kachi Kagetsuna has a great responsibility. Yamanaka Yukimori allowed her to rule the three leaders in order to give the Sasaki party a chance to make a new start.
The territory of the three Sasaki families is located in the core plain of the Shimotsu region of Echigo Province, while the Takemata family is close to the Echigo Mountains, and is not as geographically rich as the territories of the three families.
Although the Kachi family manages the territories of the three families, there is no formal security system, and Kachi Jingzuna has always felt uneasy in his heart.
As long as the territorial ownership is clearly defined, Jiadi Jingyang will have no worries. Regardless of whether the Kanto Palace is still here, it will not shake the Jiadi family's control over the three territories.
This reward was enough for Ji Jingzuna to be grateful and sent three elite warriors to follow Yukimori Yamanaka to fight in Koki.
Yamanaka Yukimori turned around and said to Honjo Shigenaga.
"Even if we are willing to go to Kogo to fight, it is not convenient for the imperial office to give us land other than military merit.
You know, the Wu family attaches great importance to land, and if you gain territory without military merit, you will always be criticized."
Honjo Nobunaga nodded, actually a little disappointed in his heart.
She was a little greedy when she saw Kaji Jingzuna's reward, but in fact, Kaji Jingzuna did not get more territory besides military merit, and it was easy for Shiba Yiyin to give this reward.
The Wu family values land, but their military merit is not enough. They can ask for the loyalty of the nearby soldiers in exchange for something else, but it is not practical to exchange land.
Just when Honjo Managa was disappointed, Yamanaka Yukimori smiled and said.
"Although we can't get more land, we can fight for the Agano River trade route.
As a reward for our contribution to the Shinpada Rebellion, our lord gave me the right to operate the trade routes leading to the Shonai area, so I must have benefited a lot from it, right?"
Honjo's long eyes were shining, his breath became three cents heavier, and he bowed.
"The banker has indeed gained a lot from the great kindness of the imperial court."
The main trade route from Echigo to Ou Ryogoku was from the Agano River across the valley and into the four Aizu counties at the other end of the Echigo Mountains.
The trade route that our village owner obtained from the northern part of Shimotsu to the area within Dewa Province was only a drop in the bucket. But this small drop in the bucket has already made our village owner very satisfied.
Trade routes not only represent commercial income and customs tax revenue, but also the most important thing is communication with the surrounding warrior territories.
Our village, Fanchang, was a traitor in the eyes of the people in the old Yangbei. If our family wanted to survive for a long time in the future, we must ease the hostility of the samurai families in the surrounding territories towards our family, and business was the best way.
The trade routes are controlled by Honzo Nonchang, and she is willing to share the interests with the surrounding samurai families. We all become good friends, and things of the past can be forgotten.
After all, who wants to have trouble with money? Wasn't the previous unhappiness just for family business and profit?
Yamanaka Yukimori said.
"The Yasuda family has taken refuge with His Highness Uesugi. Her family's Yasuda Castle is located on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Agano River, at the entrance to the mountain valley. Although the location and people are favorable, her family's hand is stretched too far.
I heard that she bought a lot of goods privately, but they didn't go through the accounts."
Honzhuang Fanchang Zhengse Road.
"Is this happening? Isn't this a blatant destruction of the distribution plan between the Kanto Palace and the Uesugi retainers' group for the commercial profits of the Hokuriku Road?
It is really shocking that Yasuda family governor Chohide dares to use his power for personal gain."
