"Does Master train his successors with such care? Numata Yumitsu is not bad either" Seeing the word "Miao" made Kiragi frown. He thought of his cheerful father-in-law, Numata Mitsukane, who had passed by almost every time since last year. He always makes a trip to Wakasa every few months. It is said that he is going back to see his grandchildren. He says that he misses him so much after so many years. I haven't seen him be so active in visiting his grandchildren in so many years, especially his relationship with his older sons and daughters is very poor. Tanxiang told him that his father almost never mentioned the eldest sons who drove him away. Now, It's already funny to start caring about his older sons and daughters again. All the activities he did in Echizen and Wakasa fell into the eyes of Kira Yoshi. He hated this father-in-law who always liked to make his own decisions. He had liked him a few times inadvertently, but he always pretended to be a fool and betrayed him every time. After the battle of Kawanakajima last year, the Three Kingdoms fell into his hands, which made him even more excited. He always vowed to make great contributions to the Ashikaga family. He felt very unhappy when he thought of his escaping father-in-law. He tacitly allowed him to come out and make a voice that was completely different from others, ensuring that there would always be disagreements among the family members, but he did not let him come out and disgust him. Thinking of his recent past He couldn't help but sneer: "Is Dagong just looking for Yu to find a useless Asakura family as an ally? When did Dagong become so cheap? It's understandable that I want to do things for Yu, but Yu doesn't need you to do things for me. The Ashikaga family is asking for allies. Do we, the Ashikaga family, need allies? It¡¯s ridiculous!¡± He doesn¡¯t need allies, and the Asakura family is not a valuable ally. The most valuable person in the Asakura family from top to bottom is the old military god. Asakura Sodi. But this old military god had already traveled westward a few years ago. Now the Asakura family's use value has been greatly reduced. The only function is probably to get entangled with Kaga Ichimune to prevent those crazy monks from disturbing other people. At the end of September, a small Yuanfu ceremony was held in Kasugayama Castle's annex. Kira Yoshitsune's nickname was Kawada Iwatsurumaru, and Masuda Shinzaburo was Yuanfu here. After the Yuanfu, their names were Kawada Nagauchi and Masuda Nagamori. The two boys were sent to the followers by him as soon as they got one yuan of service. Start from the most basic practitioners. His father, Kawada Izu Morimoto, also rushed to Echigo with his family last month. Rokkaku Yoshihide, the Kinai Ichiha, was beaten by a left-behind force of the Kira family and was almost captured. It was the shogunate's mediation that allowed them to "purchase" a county in exchange for peace of mind. As a personal participant, he was naturally aware of the rapid decline of the Rokkaku family's family business, so he quickly contacted Kawada Shigekin, who served as Ueno's deputy minister, and asked him to His younger brother acted as an intermediary, making the Kawada clan completely surrender to the Kira family. If the Kawada family is considered to be a devout family that was deliberately cultivated, then Masuda Nagamori was a pure surprise. Kira Yoshi did not even realize that this smart and clever man would have Masuda Nagamori. The Yuanfu name came up. It really made him happy for a while. This is a famous practice, even more famous than Kawada Changqin. The first heavy snowfall fell in Echigo in early October. Kira Yoshi took a boat to Sado Island in the snow to watch the construction of a new town. Today, Sado Port has become the fourth largest trading port after Naoetsu Port, Kashiwazaki Port, and Niigata Port. Pirates who obstruct maritime traffic safety belts are To ensure the maritime safety of Echigo and even the entire Hokurikudo, Sado Port became increasingly prosperous. Nowadays, Sado has several pillar industries. The top pillars are naturally the mining industry and smelting industry, followed by the local meat processing industry. Live chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep shipped from the three major ports of Echigo every day are slaughtered here. The meat is transported back to various places for processing. The remaining chicken, duck, pig, cattle and sheep skins, discarded animal bones and internal organs will also be collected and transferred into leather making, wool making, brine and as the basic raw materials for high-temperature composting. In addition, the fishermen on Sado Island were organized to establish a Sado Marine Transport Center and stationed there to implement it. This caused most of the fishermen on Sado Island to switch to maritime transportation. The main routes were to and from Naoetsu Port, Kashiwazaki Port, and Niigata Port to carry livestock, and By transporting back processed meat and related meat products, the entire Sado will form a complete industrial chain from transportation, processing to shipment. Currently, there are about 15,000 permanent residents on Sado Island. Among them, in addition to the miners transferred from various places, the local native Honma clan's garrison serves as guards. All the Honma clan members work in the fields. Many small villages on the island were also demolished one by one, and farmers gathered in large and small towns to live. Now all the land on Sado Island is handed over to these farmers for farming. The Kira family only sent a few acting officials to be responsible for daily management and statistics. . In addition, some villagers from Echigo moved to various towns on Sado Island and worked as town residents. The towns were extremely busy every day. The men were busy killing pigs, sheep, sorting, and rough processing of fur materials, and the women were also busy. Recruit another womanThe workshop is responsible for various fine processing. It is an indisputable fact that Echigo lacks a population. Kira Yoshitoki advocates the liberation of women from traditional housework and contributes to Echigo and their respective families. Simply speaking, the women of Echigo Kingdom are bold and aggressive and agree very much with the initiative of the monarch. Their families also agree that women should work more. However, years of war and heavy military service have made the women of Echigo accustomed to men going out and women farming at home. , giving birth to children, supporting parents, collecting firewood for cooking, and even hunting in the mountains and fishing in the rivers. They may do more and heavier work than men in the Western countries. Perhaps it is for this reason that the Echigo people have a strong and straightforward folk custom. Echigo men are strong, brave and have tenacious fighting spirit, while Echigo women are hearty and bold. Love or hate, I have endured the difficult days when there was no man in the family, but now it is no longer a problem to show up and work in the town. Since the Echigo people felt free to pull out their women to make money for Kira's housework, Kira Yoshitoki, a wealthy and landowner, also wanted to protect their treatment from harm, and stipulated that the daily working hours in the workshop should not exceed six hours ( 12 hours), they will have a regular physical examination every three months by a female doctor. The minimum monthly salary standard shall not be less than 150 Wen Yongle money. They must have a rest break every ten days. Every Mid-Autumn Festival. On festival days, an extra set of clothes produced in the town will be given, and an extra set of wages must be paid on the first day of the first lunar month. The hard work is a little bit hard, but what¡¯s not to like about the high income and fast money? There is also a free meal at noon every day. A couple can earn 250 yuan a month. If you save a little bit a year, it will be enough. If you save three gen Yongle money, you can still eat Koshihikari rice produced in Niigata every now and then. The elderly and children of the family opened some small food shops in the town, mainly for the miners, garrisons, farmers and boat people living in the town. There are monkey musicians on the island performing here every month, and the workshop regularly In the form of a half-price discount, we organized town residents to take their families to watch during their vacation. The living conditions here are beyond the imagination of residents outside Echigo. Many residents who came to visit the island looked at the peaceful farming of Sado Island. Life is full of prosperous scenes of men farming and women weaving. One would never have imagined that Japan was still in the most intense period of the Warring States Period. There are numerous workshops in the three major ports of Echigo for deep processing of fur products, and Biwaya, which dominates Hokuriku and Ou, distributes them on its behalf. The Mingkuni tailors hired from Kyushu with a large sum of money three years ago have contributed to Echigo's textile industry and fur processing. The industry brought a new trend. Finely crafted leather jackets, fur hats, furs and even leather boots were very popular as soon as they were launched. They were especially popular in areas with severe cold winters such as Kanto, Hokuriku, and Uyo. The famous samurai family, ministers and nobles from Kyoto also love it very much. It is not a lie that Kira Yoshiki gave away hundreds of fur suits for free. From the emperor to the shogun to the shiguan, Tsinghua, ministers and important officials of the shogunate, they all gave them as gifts. After going all over, in order to cater to the style of the Kyoto princes, they also specially produced fur hats similar to Liwu hats, bearskin cloaks, calfskin boots, fur clothes similar to court clothes, etc. At this time, winter is coming, and the wet and cold sleet and snow in Kyoto are very uncomfortable. Even the vegetarian emperor and the aggressive generals wore this fur sweater in court dress when they held court meetings. This free advertising brought brand The effect soon had a huge impact in Kyoto. From the ministers of the Habayashi family to the wealthy businessmen in Kyoto, they all wanted to own a set of fur clothes. Whether they really needed it or just to show off, they had to buy one for themselves. In just a few days, thousands of sets of fur clothing shipped from Echigo to Kinai were sold out. Not only that, there was a long queue of reservations until the next spring. Then businessmen in Sakai Town heard about the news and contacted Biwaya hoping to get it. Part of the distribution, Biwaya took this opportunity to obtain the right to use part of the trade route from Kinai to Kyushu. The profits brought by the textile industry quickly surpassed several other trades in Pipa House like a blowout, becoming the most profitable business. Money comes quickly and is spent quickly. Food and salary expenditures for tens of thousands of troops, rewards for winning battles, etc. The corresponding public expenses such as relocation, demolition and construction required for Ueno and Shinano to implement the executive order are a huge amount. Kira Yoshitoki soon discovered that the more he earned, the faster he spent it. Somewhat puzzlingly, he came to Hosokawa Fujitaka to complain. As a result, he got a long list from him to design the streets in Echigo Territory. He was almost frightened out of his wits when he saw the long series of figures regarding the funding gaps for many major projects such as the construction of seawalls, land and drainage improvements.
