Chapter 510 The Wave of the Times

After asking Kakuma Ishisou and Yamamoto Kansuke to go down to prepare for the troops to send troops to Himera, Masara picked up the second letter again.

This letter was written to Masarara by Kamiya Shaosei and Yuda Nobuya. It mainly reflects the matter about the money-making orders made by the court. Just a few months before the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshiharu was forced to flee Kyoto, the shogunate suddenly issued a money-making order, which means that the use of evil money is strictly prohibited.

There are many local copper mines in Japan, so many wealthy families will forge copper coins themselves. In addition to being used by the wealthy territories themselves, these copper coins began to spread outside the territory with the arrival of merchants. Over time, these evil coins became the local currency of Japan together with Yongle copper coins from the Ming Dynasty.

However, due to the limitations of technology, the quality of these bad money is uneven. Overall, the quality of copper coins in Ming Dynasty is much worse than that of Ming Dynasty. In addition, Japan has always exported a large amount of copper ore to Ming Dynasty and then exchanged for a large amount of copper coins, and even oversupply occurred. The existence of a large amount of bad money has further aggravated this oversupply situation.

The fuse that led to the shogunate and the court's final decision to ban the use of evil money was the return of the Kanhe trade fleet of the Danai family and the Ming Dynasty two years ago. This time, the Danai family's fleet brought back tens of thousands of coins of copper coins. Such a large amount of Ming Dynasty copper coins were once again invested among the Japanese people, and the impact caused was immeasurable. Although this era was far from developing into a commercial era like later generations, it would still affect the people to varying degrees.

The big domestic and even Kansai suffered losses due to oversupply of money. Therefore, in addition to prohibiting the use of bad money in their own territory, they also asked the shogunate to issue a money order to prohibit the use of bad money. After receiving a lot of benefits, the shogunate was naturally happy to go with the flow and naturally agreed to this matter.

Although the influence of the shogunate is not as good as before, it still affects merchant transactions to a certain extent, especially merchant transactions near Kyoto. However, the Luo family is a daimyo who vigorously promotes its own bad money. This matter is naturally contrary to the orders of the shogunate. More importantly, the foreign trade of the Luo family has also been affected to a certain extent. Therefore, Yuda Nobuya and Kamiya Shaosei specifically solicited Masara's opinions for this matter.

After reading the letter, Zhengliang immediately raised his pen to reply. First of all, his territory still required that he could only use coins forged by his family. As for other evil coins and the coins of the Ming Dynasty, they were replaced by a certain proportion according to quality.

Secondly, since the shogunate requires no longer to use bad coins, it will not be used. Anyway, the Luo family has obtained a complete set of Ming coins from the Ming Dynasty. Now it just imitates Ming Dynasty coins directly, and then sells dog meat with expensive sheep heads. These fake Ming Dynasty coins are put into trade again. Anyway, with the current identification technology, there is no way to identify the differences between these Ming Dynasty coins.

Finally, we took the opportunity to buy the bad money at a low price, then took it back to the territory and re-minded it into Ming coins, and then invested it in commerce again to earn the difference from it.

Such a simple method can easily eliminate the adverse effects caused by the money-making order issued by the shogunate.

After replying to the letters from Shaoce of the Kanwu and Nobuka Yuda, Masara picked up the last letter on the desk.

This letter was brought back by Kizaki Takata, who was far away in Kanto. At this time, Kizaki Takata had recruited a group of talents based on the list provided by Masara, including Haruhi Torasu, who was later renamed by Takeda Shingen to Masara Takasaka. In addition to reporting on the recruitment of talents, Kizaki Takatata also summarized some daimyo intelligence collected from various places to Masara.

During this period, a lot of things have happened everywhere.

First of all, it is the Muro region. The Ida family, who can be called one of the overlords of the Muro, was in a civil strife at this time. The cause of the incident was that the family governor Ida Sect wanted to use his third son Shiyuan as the adopted son of Echigo to protect Uesugi Tatsumi, but was opposed by his retainers Sangzeze Kei Nakano and Nakano Sect. The two of them incited the son of Sangzezeze to arrest him when he returned from hunting and imprisoned him in the city of Sangzezexiyama.

Later, the retainer of Ida Sect, Orayogawa Sect, sneaked into the Sangzhexishan Castle and rescued the Sect. After the Sect escaped from the disaster, they were assisted by Akama Hoshi-yin, Ashina Toshizo, Ashina Mori, Niyado Hiroyuki, Tamura Yoshinori, Osaki Yoshinori, Kashina Haruo, and others. His son Haruozon fought against the Sect with the solemn support of the retainer and his adopted father Iwaki. The astronomical rebellion of the Ida Sect (also known as the Cave Rebellion) that lasted for more than six years finally broke out.

Returning to the Kanto Yashu area. As the Hojo family continued to penetrate into the Kanto area, the powerful Kanto leader Uesugi Congma was finally determined to attack Hojo Isaka, so he went to Kashima Club to pray for victory. In contrast, in the future, he became a brother in trouble with Uesugi Congma, but Koka Kyukara Ashikaga Haruka vowed to form an alliance with Hojo Isaka, and agreed that both sides would have no different intentions. The oath was drafted by Hojo's retainer Takasuke Yoshida.

However, the Shinno area was still war-torn. After defeating Takeda Shingen, this fool, actually went to Kamoto's Mansion to negotiate with Shingen, and was under house arrest by Shingen. Finally, he committed suicide in grief and anger. After completely controlling Suwa County, Takeda Shingen finally showed his fangs and began to invade Shinno area. At the same time, he was determined to avenge the great revenge of the invasion of Kafari by Shinno's tyrants two years ago, but was defeated by Murakami Yoshiki at Daemun. Takeda Shingen, who retreated, returned to the territory and reorganized his arms and prepared to make a comeback, and on the other hand, he also began to pay attention to the internal affairs of the territory. It is worth mentioning that it was during this period that Takeda Shingen began to build a dike in the Kamawuchuan River Basin, known in history as Shingen Dike.

Ohara region. Ohara Nobuki Oda Nobuhide continued its expansion momentum. First, he joined forces with Echizen Asahi Takake, Takake, and invaded Mino in the name of supporting the protection of Toki Raiyi. Takake sent Asahi Kyoke (Sonidi) to the south from Echizen and met Nobuhide in Inabayama Castle. It is said that there was a total of about 25,000 troops, but was eventually defeated by Saito Dosansan, who had left the city to fight, and fled back to Ohara. Of course, Oda Nobuhide did not have any gains during this period. At least under his plan, Mizuno Nobumoto, the lord of Mizuno, Mizuno, betrayed Imakawa Yoshimoto and joined Oda Nobuhide. With the surrender of Kariya, Tokugawa Imakawa Imakawa Imakawa's mother was forced to divorce Matsuhei Hirotaka under the oppression of the Imakawa family and remarried a wealthy family of Ohara. Since then, Tokugawa Imakawa and Oda Nobunaga will soon enter the stage of history.

In the Kyoto area, after the rebellious Nagamasa Kizawa was attacked, Hosokawa Harumoto confronted the Hosokawa clan again. Soon after, Hosokawa Kyumoto entered Akutagawa Castle and formed a confrontation with Hosokawa clan who was guarding the Shinobu Temple. After that, Hosokawa clan general Ueno Gengoro defeated Kazukoto's army in Sakaimachi. Both sides continued to fall into a melee.

In the Western Kingdom, the Ouchi family and the Niko family fought for several silver mines in Ishimi area, while the Maori family next to them secretly rectified the wealthy families within it. According to historical development, the Maori Moto would gradually include the Yoshikawa family and the Kobayakawa family in their sphere of influence during this period. However, due to Masayoro's secret move, the failure of his plan was caused. However, this was just to temporarily suppress the development of the Maori family. With the Maori method, he would take action again sooner or later.

On the four countries, Kono Tonona in the Iyu area forced the order to move all the people of Takanoyama to the Ueno Inn, but did not make necessary precautions, which led to riots in this area and fires were put out everywhere. However, the Tosa Kingdom not far away was not willing to be lonely, and Yi Fangji sent troops to fight Tsunoki higher than Onomi Takaoka County. Since then, the two armies have been constantly fighting. However, neither of the two families realized that the real enemy, Nagazo, had also begun to secretly annex the wealthy families around it.

In the Kyushu area, some powerful people's intelligence also attracted the attention of Masarara. First of all, the information about Shimazu family, it can be confirmed that Shimazu is trying to imitate iron cannons. Recently, Shimazu family even hired the famous scholar Yasaka Jinbing Ekiki to imitate iron cannons. In addition, some recent actions by Yoshitaka Ouchi have also aroused Masara's vigilance.

Recently, Yoshitaka Ouchi has issued several consecutive decrees, firstly, ordering the ban on the attendants of Yishima from the police (a group that protects those who visit Yishima) from setting up customs offices to collect taxes. Secondly, recently, he actually ordered the ban on the luxury of the territory.

Damn, historical records have killed people. Who said that since Izumo's defeat, Yoshitaka Ouchi has been in a slump for a long time? At least from this year (1545), Yoshitaka Ouchi has obviously begun to pay attention to political affairs.

After reading the information from all over the country, Masara stood up and then walked to the terrace of Tianshou Pavilion, put his hands on the guardrail of the terrace, and looked into the distance. The sound of the river in the distance was hitting the rocks on the shore, and the sound of rumbling waves came from time to time.
