    The heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter has brought huge troubles to Echigo. It is not as warm and comfortable as Owari Province in the East China Sea. A heavy snowfall that lasted for two months has destroyed countless houses.  Take on the responsibility of patrolling day and night and urge residents to clear snow from rooftops and streets.  Heisaburo's family was the owner of Shinkawazo near Sekikawa. Due to the decree of the Lord of Echigo, the small Shinkawazhu was abolished and merged with several nearby villages to form the larger Shinkawazhu. At that time, Heisaburo had already started an independent family.  As he was good at carpentry, he moved to a town near Naoetsu and became a craftsman. In the past few years, he worked hard day and night in Naoetsu, and finally saved enough money to open a house and became a successful person among the new generation of townspeople.  It was just halfway through the twelfth lunar month and the weather was still very cold. Heisaburo's younger brother pushed a flat cart and brought a stone of rice, a few pheasants and a few fish to give him new year gifts. Farmers in the countryside live a simple life. Sending some grain to relatives is not a sign of flattery.  It means that the life of the villagers has been going smoothly these years, and they can't finish the food harvested from the fields. You can often see farmers pushing carts to the town to deliver things to their relatives.  Heisaburo's younger brother is named Heigoro. The man in his thirties has a somewhat pedantic temperament. He pulls his brother and complains about the family's filial piety in the countryside. He talks about farmers' complaints about trivial matters at home. It turns out that it's because of something called agricultural cooperation.  What's more, the neighborhood unrest stirred up the peaceful and peaceful countryside, and the scoundrels who were despised in the village in the past took advantage of it. They smeared a spoon here and there and stuck a stick here and there without doing anything serious, but when the autumn harvest came, they had to  Make a fuss about sharing the same food as everyone else.  The honest farmers never thought that these laihans would be so shameless. The villagers accused laihans of being lazy and spending three days fishing and two days drying nets on weekdays. During the autumn harvest, when the autumn harvest comes and they work hard, they have to separate people's rations.  The scoundrels resorted to tricks.  He just said that he had done the work with his own strength.  When the two sides got into a dispute, they went to Su Lao's underground people for arbitration, which made Su Lao's underground people distressed for a long time.  There are many such stories, and there are always two or three out of ten stories that are completely unclear. The villagers are clumsy and tongue-tied, but they are not willing to let their food be robbed by these lazy people.  As a result, many major cases that harmed people's lives were caused, and many farmers who took risks were severely punished. Although this move was in compliance with the law, it also violated the principles of justice.  The villagers were afraid of the fierce warriors who would lead the people to capture him and did not dare to move.  Fortunately, the police were dispatched to arrest those scoundrels and interrogate them severely. It was found that more than a hundred false accusations had a very bad impact on society. The public then used their discretion to reduce the guilt of some people with special circumstances. The villagers worked hard for their own food and people.  It's pitiable, and it's reasonable to appropriately reduce the crime and punishment.  "It's been a few months since the autumn harvest, and now there's a quarrel in our village again. They want to clarify who did more and who did less this year, and the food needs to be redistributed. I know that this is all because of the original Ogawa Village and  A bunch of troublemakers from Matsuda Village are deliberately trying to make us feel uncomfortable because of the annexation of the village!" Heigoro didn't dare to criticize the rules set by the Lord. I heard that it was the general who guarded the palace.  of oral instructions.  That man was the legendary Genji noble, and his status was so noble that people admired him. Only His Highness K身kata from Kanto could compare with him. How had the villagers of Echigo seen such a noble man? Legend has it that Kanto Kanto  When you see him, you have to kowtow and salute. This is an extremely high status.  Hearing Heigoro's complaint, Heisaburo mumbled a few vague words and said no more. The two brothers chatted about kombu and pickles and drank wine for the whole afternoon. At the end of the day, Heisaburo handed his brother ten copper coins.  Saying that it was to subsidize the family, Heigoro declined, but hummed and thanked him for a long time before going back embarrassedly.  As the sky gradually darkened, Heisaburo asked the apprentices in the shop to close the door and close the shop. He went into the small room at the back and wrote a string of notes that looked like ghost drawings. He rolled them into a ball and stuffed them into the tanuki and sent them away. This was a layer of his hidden identity.  , a peripheral member who provides intelligence to Hattori Ninja.  Peripheral intelligence like this is passed from Echigo to Kasugayama Castle at a rate of dozens every day. Since the end of the Battle of Kawanakajima, Kira Yoshitoki has received thousands of messages about agricultural cooperation in the past two months.  Adherents also complained about the unfavorable evaluation. How could they be happy about the increased workload for nothing.  Hosokawa Fujitaka has become more mature and capable in the past year, and he still managed to stabilize people's hearts even when the main players in Echigo are no longer in their hometown. In normal times, he still has to do various investigations and research in Kasugayama, Naoetsu, and Niigata Town. Within two months  Before that, he submitted a document to abolish agricultural cooperation. The main idea of ??the document was to re-analyze the summary report on Echigo's agricultural development in the past few years. The focus was that the data differences in the trial agricultural cooperation were very obvious.  "Based on the current autumn harvest statistics, Echigo's total grain output is 2.23 million koku, an increase of only 130,000 koku over the same period last year. This increase is far lower than our psychological expectation of 2.6 million koku  Stone's goal, ??After many aspects of argumentation and investigation and research, there are three main reasons. First, the floods in summer have a negative impact on the increase in agricultural production. Second, after the annexation of new villages, many bad habits have appeared in the villages that undermine agricultural development. To a certain extent,  The labor enthusiasm of farmers has been dampened, and the disadvantages of third-party agricultural cooperation have been exposed. Various labor disputes and many problems caused by egalitarianism have given us a headache!  "Hosokawa Fujitaka said it very euphemistically and implicitly. You cannot accuse Kira Yoshiki of being too unrealistic in front of him. It is enough to point out the current difficulties. This evaluation will be the last evaluation meeting before the new year, so people from all over the world will  The retainers and samurai came to Echigo Kasugayama Castle one after another, including Shinano and most of the people from Ueno. They were surprised to find that the position of Nagao Kagetora had been moved down from the position symbolizing the king. Kira was the only one in the entire Ohiro room.  Yoshitoki was sitting alone. Nagao Kagetora caught a glimpse of the surprised expressions of the Echigo people and the Ueno people, and said calmly: "Everyone should know that I have just left Kasugayama Castle with a minister who is the head of the Tsinghua family.  The three ministers of Imide Sichuan, Nagon Qingji Gong, and Imide Sichuan Asia Prime Minister are here to announce the new appointments of the imperial court. From now on, the Zhenfu Palace will be promoted to the third position. Zuobingweifu and Zhenfu General Ruyuan will be promoted from now on.  You want to change your name to Zhenfu Gong.  " The words of the Dragon of Echigo caused a commotion among the samurai in the hall. After a brief period of panic and panic, Murakami Yoshikiyo, Ogasawara Nagatoki, Takanashi Masayori, and Nagano Yap led the samurai from the two countries to pay homage in a hurry.  Kensei Uesugi hurriedly bowed down and shouted loudly: "We will pay homage to the mayor!  I wish Gongfangdian good health and long-lasting martial arts fortune for the Ashikaga family!  " "Yu has become a public official since then!  Kira Yoshitoki's eyes were blazing with flames. He calmed down for a while and said warmly: "You are all loyal ministers to the shogunate. Please work hard for the shogunate's EMI legacy!"  I would like to express my gratitude to you all at the Gongfang Hall of the shogunate.  "The warriors were shocked and said loudly: "We are willing to serve the shogunate to the death!  " When he came back to his senses, the eyes of many samurai when they looked at Nagao Kagetora changed. In addition to surprise, they were more impressed. He almost single-handedly defeated the Ueno Kingdom with great achievements, but he was willing to be a vassal.  This decision is not something that ordinary Sengoku samurai can make. No wonder there are rumors that Kira Yoshi will support Nagao Kagetora to be the leader of Kanto. Then looking at Uesugi Kenmasa's respectful expression, it turns out that all this is not groundless.  The Echigo dual-headed political system that was ridiculed by samurai all over the world suddenly turned into the standard Warring States daimyo who led the three countries of Echigo, Ueno, and Shinano during the time of Kira Yoshi. The battle of Takayama shocked Kanto, and the third battle of Kawanakajima shocked Kanto.  Throughout the Eastern Kingdom, the Battle of Suiweishan once again shocked the world with an army of 8,000 to more than 100,000 people. The Ashikaga family of Kamizuki quickly rose to become the number one name in Kanto with an almost unstoppable upward momentum. Only then did people wake up from their dreams.  The miracle of Echigo, which has always been underestimated, has really turned into a shocking "miracle". The biggest problem of Echigo is the instability of the two-headed system. This is why people are not optimistic about him. There is only so much power for one person.  The more the other, the less. Before this, only the Echigo country had this problem that was not obvious. The people of the Echigo country could still live vaguely about it. But now they can no longer maintain this vague life.  The rhythm has changed from one country in Echigo to the control of three countries. The people from Shino, Ueno and Japan can only recognize one king, and will not consider imitating the people of Echigo to vaguely recognize the two giants. In this way, two giants will be recognized.  There must be one person who makes concessions. No matter in terms of status or strength, it is absolutely impossible for Ashikaga Kamisuke to make concessions. So the one who made concessions was his brother-in-law, Okagetora. Fortunately, his serious illness a few years ago was relieved.  Retirement greatly reduced Echigo's desire for power and he chose to give in as expected. He had long ago revealed his unwillingness to continue to maintain dual politics. He seldom spoke at the evaluation meeting and did not like to interfere in military affairs.  The extremely high right to speak is limited to this. The leader of military and political power is still Kira Yoshitoki, including the decision-making power to deal with the Echigo encirclement strategy, which is made by his brother-in-law, and he chooses to spend a lot of time on it.  Recuperation and meditation, this semi-retired state leaves enough time and space for the Echigo people to make choices. Except for the family members who looked very disappointed, most of the Echigo people showed happy expressions, which was the outcome they were most afraid of.  It is a rhythm in which each side refuses to give in and then evolves into a fight to the death. Two tigers fight each other, one is killed and the other is injured. Kira and Nagao are fighting a civil war in Echigo. It must be a catastrophe that will destroy lives, and even the winning side will have to pay a heavy price.  , the prosperous scene of Echigo will come to an end. The people of Echigo breathed a sigh of relief, and the samurai of Shinano and Ueno also relaxed. Then they looked back at the young minister on the high seat with endless awe in their hearts.  What is the concept of the three ministers? According to legend, there are only direct sons of the public family whose family status is higher than that of the minister's family.He is eligible to become one of the three ministers at the age of eighteen. In addition to the current shogunate in the Takeshi family, Kira Yoshitomo is the second to be one of the three ministers.  According to the imperial decree, only those with three or more senior members can be called k身k身, and the title k身k身 is also derived from this. Starting from Ashikaga Takauji, the great general who conquered the barbarians, the Ashikaga family has obtained the privilege of being called k身k身 for generations. Since then, although the Kanto Ashikaga family has official positions  Not enough, but relying on the fact that he was the lord of the Ashikaga shogunate, he called himself the Kanto lord, and then gradually formed the samurai culture of the Muromachi shogunate for two hundred years.  Not to mention anything else, the qualifications of this lord of the town are very strong, and he has a noble birth and great military achievements. He has the strong support of the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiteru behind him, and from now on, Degawa Haruyuki and him have a close and casual relationship.  It can be seen from the tone of his voice that the Ashikaga family has quite good connections in the imperial court. There is really nothing to criticize for such a nobleman with extraordinary origins and huge influence as the supreme leader.  "Going back to the topic, I have basically understood the disadvantages of agricultural cooperation. The farmer cooperation model looks very good. But I still ignored the most important change in people's hearts. People, not gods and Buddhas, are greedy. Some people are hard-working and  Brave, some are greedy and lazy, the more capable people work, the more they earn. To forcibly equalize the gap between everyone would violate the definition of fairness, so Yu decided to abolish agricultural cooperation. " Kirara Yoshitoki's enlightened statement made many people happy.  The samurai believers breathed a sigh of relief. What they feared most was that Kira Yoshitoki would not take it seriously, disapproved of or refused to admit his policy mistakes. According to his current prestige, even if he ended up causing anger and resentment.  Most of the time, it was the middle-level samurai who took the blame. The people's admiration for Kira Yoshitoki was almost superstitious. They would not believe that the town government official was wrong. They would simply think that the samurai below did not perform well or had a wrong understanding of the strategy.  "This lesson is over. Governance is not about banquets and chats, and no falsification is tolerated. Every time a military official implements a policy, he must walk on thin ice and be cautious. A wrong policy will cause the leader to lose his country and the people will be alienated. This is a huge mistake on the part of the leader Fujitaka mentioned just now  The first response is to strengthen the construction of river and lake embankments, and conduct detailed inspections before the rainy season every year. In addition, the construction of polders must be accelerated.  But we should try our best to shorten the construction period! The second point is to deal with the adverse effects caused by the annexation of new villages. Drinking milk requires many people to go to the countryside to meet the underground people and villagers, and to explain the reasons for the discord among the rural people.  To find out clearly, it is really not possible to hold more small evaluations and conduct joint consultations to gather talents to think about the benefits and resolve the current unfavorable situation. However, we must pay attention to the methods and must not destroy the simple and kind folk customs of the countryside in the pursuit of quick success. The third point is that after the abolition of agricultural cooperation,  It is necessary to actively collect statistics on the labor force and farming conditions of farmers in each village and town, and divide the fields according to the farmers' willingness to work and the field area they can afford. There is no need to worry about greedy farmers over-reporting the amount of farmland. If he can farm it, one person can  It's not a bad idea to give him five machi steps, but the prerequisite is that he pays an annual tribute of two crops of grain a year, and the tax cannot be less than a penny or a grain of grain. If those greedy people can't farm, the fields will be barren and the family's agriculture will be missed.  The plan is to use my Kira family's laws to punish him at that time! How many years of tribute and tax they owe will have to be paid back with free labor. If they can't pay it off in one year, it will be two years. If they can't pay it off in two years, it will be five years.  "The warriors were overjoyed when they heard this, and they finally looked forward to Kiragi making a bigger decision. After thinking about it carefully, this plan turned out to be perfect, and they hurriedly flattered him loudly: "This is a great plan, Duke Zhenfu.  ! Advocate for those who can work harder and encourage a variety of food. If this policy is implemented within two years, the trend will definitely change! Not only is the town government good at commanding troops in battle, but he is also so good at internal affairs. I really admire him! "  Dozens of warriors from other countries flattered each other with astonishing noise, and finally received Kira Yoshitoki's promise: "Shinano and Ueno will fully implement the overland strategy, and I will appoint a team to conduct statistics on the land area, land fertility, and land area of ??the two countries."  The stone production is high, and I ask you to cooperate with me in this land inspection. In the future, if you have any merit, I will not hesitate to reward you." "We will swear allegiance to the town master!" This is the end of a colorful evaluation meeting, Hongzhi San.  The year is gradually coming to an end, and the next step is to welcome the arrival of the new year.  At the end of the third year of Hongzhi, a major event occurred in Kinai that was still quiet. The protagonist of this incident was actually Hatakeyama Takamasa, the second-hand governor of the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi. He took advantage of the Miyoshi family's key position in recent years to reorganize government affairs, prepare military forces, and revitalize the economy.  However, serious conflicts arose in the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi. Anmi clan's imitation of Kizawa Nagamasa and Yusa Nagasaki's monopoly of power caused dissatisfaction with Hatakeyama Gaomasa, so the family governor and the family manager once again confronted each other.  This time he was really unlucky. The clan retainers were full of resentment towards this second-rate governor. The former guardian Yusa Shinji was full of negative emotions towards Hatakeyama Takamasa because of his father's death. In addition, the guardian who had been passed down from generation to generation in his family was replaced by the Yasumi clan.  The house was taken away, soSo he had no feeling about the governor being exiled again. The result of this confrontation was that Anmi Sof身 successfully exiled the governor like the previous ones, and Hatakeyama Takamasa fled in embarrassment to Sakai Town for refuge.  Ashikaga Yoshiki is willing to help him, but he can't stretch out his arm yet. Yamashiro Country can only look forward to it and sigh. What is the situation of Rokkaku Yoshihide?  He is busy with two things. The first one is to appease the Kitaomi Asai family, Asai Hisamasa's legitimate son Saruyasha Motofu, Rokkaku Yoshiken bestows the title of Asai Kenmasa, and adopts Hirai Sadatake's daughter as his adopted daughter to marry.  Kenmasa Asai to strengthen the centripetal force between the two parties.  According to common sense, this method is relatively normal, just like when Imagawa Yoshimoto wanted to use his adopted daughter to fool Kira Yoshi, the dominant daimyo always wanted to maintain his dominance, but Asai Kenmasa, a young man, did not follow the routine.  Playing cards, he seemed to feel that Rokkaku Yoshiken looked down on him and it would be insulting to marry a minister's daughter to him, so he had been making trouble in Kodani Castle for the past few months. Asai Hisamasa had no choice but to deal with this legitimate son and had all kinds of headaches.  .  Another thing is the harassment and infiltration of Shiga County. Kira Yoshitoki has been away from Kinai for more and more time. This is what the saying goes, and Rokkaku Yoshiken thinks that you Kira Yoshitomo is hanging around in the East Country.  That's good. Shiga and Takashima prefectures don't really need it, so why not just give it back to me.  The frequent harassment of Otsu and Sakamoto in the past few years is due to this reason. A piece of fat meat is placed in front of you, but you can see whether you can eat it to death. The feeling of a hundred claws scratching your heart burns Yoshihide Rokkaku's reason day and night. He used to be afraid  Kira Yoshitsune came back, and now that the Kira family is trapped in Echigo and unable to extricate itself, you should give me a chance to turn around.  So Rokkaku Yoshiken was busy stepping up military preparations to prepare for the armed capture of Shiga and Takashima County. He didn't care about the life and death of Hatakeyama Takamasa. Anyway, it was not his own misfortune. He wanted to look for whoever he wanted. The gears of fate were at this moment  Turning quietly, 1558 is just around the corner.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
