With a mission to trade in copper, Niko Keihisa sets off for Izumo Province with two letters that are enough to kill Niko Seihisa, and Yamanaka Yutaka embarks on the journey satisfied, who is promised a piece of the pie from the mouth of Shoheng. Although it didn't fall on paper, he was not afraid that the political balance would not fall into the ground. Although the Yamanaka clan has gradually declined since Yamanaka's death, the prestige left in the past has not been squandered like that Nikaido Nobuhiro, otherwise in history, Yamanaka Yukitaka retired due to the Shingu Party implicated in illness and retired by his younger brother Yamanaka Yukimori to inherit the family treasure, and it is impossible to become a member of the Ten Warriors of Nizi to break into the prestige, which is enough to show that the status of the Yamanaka clan in the heart of Niko Haruhisa has not weakened in the slightest. Although he doesn't know whether the Shingu Party in this era will be as suspicious as the monarchs and ministers in the original history, and die from the killing of Nizi Haruhisa, but no matter what, the wealth is moving, once the inside story of the copper mine transaction spreads, it is not known whether Nizi Harujiu will do it in advance, and the internal secrets of the copper mine transaction cannot be kept secret, and the copper mine is not a small thing that can be hidden, it is a mineral deposit that can be piled up. Once Nizi Qingjiu knows the lucrative income from the copper mine transaction, whether he will intervene is no longer a question mark, but an affirmative sentence, and he will definitely intervene, and once he intervenes, he will definitely have a fierce conflict with the Xingong Party, which regards the copper mine transaction as a forbidden place for development, and the matter involving power is always the most cruel thing.
If the political balance is not clear about what happened later in history, the Date family still hopes that a strong Shingu party will survive, and the main weak minister will always be the inevitable trend of a daimyo force moving towards extinction. However, Zhengheng still follows the process of history from time to time to observe and analyze the context of this era, and he needs Niko Haruhisa to intervene in the copper mine trade, no matter what Niko Haruhisa has in mind, he will not be able to see the important benefits that the copper mine trade can bring, when Iwami Silver Mountain is still in a state of stalemate. In the case of normal production, it is also a good backup to prepare China's copper mine revenue. Compared with the Shingu Party, which is in dire need of money to expand, Niko Haruma may not be particularly important to the cumbersome transactions of copper mines with small profits and quick turnover, but he will not lose sight of the benefits in it.
If Niko Haruma wants to intervene, she needs an agent. It is impossible for him to go into battle shirtless in person, and his father Yamanaka is fortunate to be deeply favored by the Niko clan, Yamanaka Kotaka will naturally fall into his eyes, and if he makes a choice between the Shingu Party and Niko Haruma, even a fool can see who he will choose, and Yamanaka Kotaka will definitely choose the most accurate choice. When it comes to betrayal, the Yamanaka clan was originally reused by the head of the Niko family like the Shingong party, but it was just a genealogy family. The other one is just a relative, but the status is equal, there is no reason to betray who does not betray anyone, in the final analysis, they are all retainers of Nizi Qingjiu. The reason why Yamanaka Yutaka is vassalized with the Shingu Party is not so much the misfortune of the Yamanaka clan as the inaction of Niko Haruma.
Of course, whether the Shingu Party will die as quickly as it did in history, and whether Yamanaka Yukimori can show his prestige after retiring due to his brother's failure to stand in the position is not something that the current political balance can consider. Otherwise, one day in the future, he will go back and want to continue to calculate the relationship between them and use today.
Either way, the potential biggest crisis for the Date family. The crisis of confidence of the Nizi clan, under the words of Zhengheng, with the fact that it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood, has a perfect result, and it is also smooth to find a buyer for the largest source of income for the Date family, refining silver requires greater investment, and greater investment will accumulate more and more unbearable copper mines, and now there is finally a shipping port, which is good news for the stability of the Date family and the development of China's finances. Although there are no real profits yet, everyone present can foresee the strong stimulus effect of the copper mine transaction on China.
Kawasaki Yorihiro and Takeno Takashi Gao glanced at each other, intentionally or unintentionally. The eyes are full of helplessness and sincerity, no matter what they originally thought, maybe there are some unwilling, unwilling to be reluctant to the rapid rise of the Date family, which is weaker than them, or unwilling to have enough martial arts to hide the world when Date Masahiro, who is younger than them, but now they are all willing to be convinced. They are not lonely farmers, nor are they vulgar mountain people, they are all heroes of one side. They all knew that the copper trade was not only a copper money transaction between the two sides, but also a trade that China desperately needed, opening the door to trade with Izumo Province, especially the Niko clan, and the ties between the two sides would be greatly strengthened, and the probability of the same struggle between the two sides would be infinitely weakened, and who would have enough to eat and support, and cut off the road of trade with each other when both sides had great interests.
Once there is a friendly exchange with the Niko clan, it will be more comfortable for the Date family, which is an enemy on all sides, and the confidence will become heavier and heavier when the west treats the Mori Yuan, whether to take advantage of the weakness when the Mori family and the Ouchi family are fighting, and there is still an account left on both sides of the Matsuda family in the east Bizen Province that has not been calculated, once the hands are freed, they can expand the territory in the name of the Niko clan, and the richest and most fertile essence of the two countries are Okayama and Fukuyama are under the nose of the Date family. As long as you wave your hand slightly, you can get it at your fingertips, which adds up to nearly 100,000 stone of land, and you are very greedy.
The copper mine trade is also obvious to the development of the two counties of Terita and Aga, the base of the Date family, and for the Date family, the importance of the two counties of Zheta and Aga is undoubted, although the Date family is now unified with China, but for the Date family, the root of their start is Jeta, Aga, especially Agagun, and they cannot give up no matter what. It was with the support of the two counties of Tetsuta and Aga, especially the Aga-gun, that the Date family stepped step by step to the throne of the lord of a country, and most of the high-ranking members of the Date family were from the Aga-gun, and most of the samurai retainers who were now in the middle and lower classes were generally from the Teta-gun, and it can be said that the retainers from the two counties of Tetsuta and Aga formed an important part of the Date family. More than fifty percent of the immediate retainers under the command of the Date family, and more than eighty percent of the ashigaru are from the two prefectures, which are the only ones that can handle the two prefectures where the population of the barren land cannot be compared with the coastal areas.
Once the copper mine trade began and trade in Izumo Province was introduced, the population from other places would inevitably flow into the two prefectures of Zheta and Aga, and the transportation roads would be rebuilt, and a number of post stations would need to be built along the way, and the embankments along the way would have to be repaired. In a few years, there will certainly be some resting villages, and when the population is full and the wealth is abundant, the two counties will naturally become richer and richer, but of course they cannot be compared with the coastal zone.
The richer the two counties of Jeta and Aga, the more loyal the retainers from the two counties will be to the Date family, and the foundation of the Date family's rule will be more and more solid, regardless of whether the retainers from the two counties will have such a large number ratio as they do now, and whether it will be diluted, but no matter what time it is, the roots of the Date family will definitely be in the two counties of Jeta and Aga, not elsewhere, and most of the retainers in high positions will inevitably come from the two counties of Tetsuta and Aga.
Once the Date family has stabilized the rear, it will be able to divide more forces to govern the other counties, and bring the people of the local power country that was originally in the dominant position under the rule of the Date family, and those who obey will be retained and those who disobey will be resolutely eliminated. Although several of the most important national forces in China are either destroying the miè or surrendering, the Shinmi clan, the Mimura clan, and the Zhuang clan have all drifted away with the wind, and the Iwami clan has surrendered, but locally, especially in some mountainous areas and coastal areas where the Date family cannot be controlled, the local forces still have an absolute advantage, and the alliance of monks, people, and natives is still very strict, and the national politics of the Date family cannot radiate there.
For the Date family, who was born in a local tyrant, these people who were originally more powerful than the Date family must be included in the scope of rule, otherwise if something happens, or there will be a once-in-a-century hero, for example, if there is also an Date political balance, it is likely to bring ruinous consequences to the Date family.
Zheng Heng looked at the group of people under his command and smiled slightly, what he wanted was such a result, no matter whether these people had other ideas before, but from now on, the only thing they have to serve is the Date family, or it should be more precise, Date Zhengheng, of course, whether he will betray when Zhengheng dies, Zhengheng is not clear. However, Zhengheng is very clear that if nothing unexpected happens, his body is very healthy, it can be said that his health is a bit too much, and the good things of the traverser are also reflected in his body, at least he has not had a disease since he was a child, whether it is a major illness or a minor illness, there is no problem in living seventy or eighty years old, of course, it is still a little worse than those auspicious rui, but compared to the people who died at the age of forty or fifty in this era, it is considered to be long-lived. Zheng Heng is confident that he will live longer than the gang in front of him, and he will be able to avoid the greatest betrayal.
Sending away Nizi Keihisa and Yamanaka Yudaka,Zhengheng held a meeting in time,A small meeting,Discuss the future of the copper ore transaction,The final decision is to be handled by the royal merchant of the Date family, Tsuda Soda, and the penman Akagi Takao,In fact, it's not that these people don't want to meddle in this matter.,As long as you stop a little, you can get a lot of benefits.,They also know.,But now under Zhengheng's nose.,There's really no way for them to do a good job., Second, they didn't want to lose points now, so they finally decided to let Tsuda Soda and Akagi Takao take full responsibility for the matter.
The absent Tsuda Soda still didn't know how much of a position he would bring to him and the Tennoji House behind him, as he was reluctant to take on the position of the Date family's royal merchant. (To be continued......)
