Amago no Miko

Episode 23 Tamagome and Ryukyu and Silver Mountain

"Besides, why are you doing so much hazing on the battlefield as you don't need it?If you're harvesting rice or wheat, I understand that it's a tactic to mow a little field, but I don't understand how to mow Aota. "

"to strike at the food of the enemies' people."

"So, if it's autumn and you can't get rice, then the enemy will come after you from that country to grab food.

"In order not to do so, if we destroy the enemy's fields thoroughly and rob them of food before they do, they will starve to death."

Oh, I see. The discomfort that I felt in the conversation with Ryukyu Ohashikawa just now, the idea that it seems to be nailing the bran is because it is an equally hostile country of another country, so there is no need to show mercy to the people of the enemy country.

In this era, I am reminded once again that my idea of Japanese is more heretical.

"So there's a lot of displaced people and slaves.If you think about it a little bit, you'll see.That's why there's going to be war. "

"Hmm...."

"And there's no one left on the land you occupied, Chan.Does Ohashikawa-san want such a land as an award?

Even for the rest of the people, if they were so thoroughly plundered, the anger and resentment of the people would be terrible.If the looter becomes a new lord, no one will help.

On the contrary, it could be an on-parade.

"That's right, is that what this land is about...?"

"After all, I think it's like I'm strangling myself.People used to say treasure is a great thing. "

It's also called an octopus that eats its own feet.

"Ummm...."

"So I'm proposing we stop this barren struggle."

"Why not?

"Not to mention an alliance, but are you willing to make an inviolability pact?

The only thing that breaks a treaty is the existence of a piece of paper.However, the treaty is a treaty.If you don't have the will to break it, you can't even break a single piece of paper.

"The inviolability treaty?But then..... "

"I know what you're saying.If you tie the inviolability, you can't take Sama's silver mountain. "

"Yes"

Well then, shall we return the Japanese discussion to the blank paper?Maori are the ones who have begged for reconciliation. "

It is Māori who are currently in the process of breaking down military morale.Well, Neko can't afford to fight Maori.Neko is mainly on the other side of the river.

However, I would like you to think about the meaning of pointing water from a person in a favorable situation to a person in a disadvantaged situation.The meaning that's in it.

"That's for sure....."

"Well, don't worry, I'll give you candy in return for Maori, so think about it."

"What's in that candy?

How about half of Sama's silver mountain?

As long as the bloody killing around the silver mountain lasts, I don't have to give the enemy a bit of that share to be an ally, but rather a favorable neutral.As long as the interest is granted, you can trust it for the time being.

Maybe it's a loser idea.But I think it's great to be able to allocate that competing resource to others.

"What!?

"Princess, that won't happen!

"Shut up, Grandpa Ta!What did your father tell you?

"I told the princess all about the negotiations... I understand.Grandpa can't do what the princess wants if he watches. "

But it's my father who finally decides, so he says, "Silver mountains are all mine!'If I refused, this story would be Ojan.I'm really scared to say it....

"Thank you, Grandpa Taha. So, let's continue, but I'll call your rights stock."

That's right.

"Make Sama's rights to the silver mountain his stock."

"You mean divide the shares?

"Yeah, that's right.Divide the rights of the silver mountain into 100 or 200, and let each have a fence. "

"Hmm... it's an idea that I can't think of anyway."

Well, that's right.In this era, people don't come up with the idea of a stock company.But wasn't East Indian Company this time of year?This thing was born out of necessity to distribute the risks of navigation.What you need is a mother of invention.

"But what if Maori refuses to talk about it?

"If that's Maori policy, I won't say anything anymore.The negotiation of the Japanese-style agreement should be broken, and Maori should not return to Akyun and crush it here. "

Listen to people until the end.

"Neko's main force is not to cross the river."

"Yes, unfortunately, I can't cross the river that has increased in water.But that's only for Ishimi, right?

There is no need to cross the river until the third stage of a direct attack from Yunnan.When this is over, I must thank the Meritorious Red Hole too!

"Ha!? No way...."

"Come on? By this time tomorrow, Maori may have an early horse.We are negotiating to stop this barren killing, so please listen to me until the end. "

Above all, there's no need to limit the battlefield here.It is called insurance because it is insurance.Well, I don't want to overwhelm things this time, so I only ask for diversion and restraint.

"... it was on the left."

"I'll keep talking.Half, to be precise, is allocated to the lords of Ogasawara Hall, Yoshikawa, Fukuya, and other countries, and there are merchants such as Kamiya, Tsubouchi, and Yamashita, so the share of Maori will be less than half, about 30%.Of course, the same goes for Neko. "

"But the more delicious it is for Maori, the less profitable it is for Neko, who currently controls the mountain.

"Oh? Neko is really good, too.If you give Maori candy, you won't have to fight over the silver mountain.If you can buy safety for money, I think it's cheaper than what you're spending on war.

In other words, monetary security.Is it something like the EU or TPP, if you say it in the past?Anyone who keeps silent should not want to destroy the composition of money that comes into their pockets.Probably.

"Hmm, that's exactly what the princess said.However, I only know vaguely how many people can understand the Princess's way of thinking. "

"It may be hard for a man in the business who thinks of monopolizing the silver mountain.But I think I'll finally be convinced that profits roll in without a fight. "

People only move by profit.and so on.But man moves by righteousness and by profit.I like this one better.People move without reason and with affection.Was this the "Ri" difference?

"Excuse me, is that your father's repairman?

"Father and a lot of others."

Well, should my father move with interest and affection?Somehow I have a sweet spot, Father, and I wonder if I can handle this?

I see.

"It is profitable after being harmonious.And profit is the sum of righteousness. "

"Was it Mengzi?

"I don't know the details."

Yeah, I'm sorry. I just kind of wanted to use the words I remembered.See, you know, at that age!When you say something like this, you look somehow intelligent and cool.

I don't usually understand the meaning of words, but I think there are words that I would like to try.People call it, Gehungehun.

But I don't really like Confucianism anymore.

"No, the princess is still young and brilliant."

"It's nice to flatter you.Instead, can you persuade your father, Lord Luo, to do what I have just said?

"You can get some of the Silver Mountain's rights without having to fight too hard, so my father should come on board."

The problem is that Neko, who currently controls the mountain, seems to have more problems.Why should we give power to Maori even though we control it?I'm going to have a hard time understanding that and I'm going to have a headache.Somebody please baffle.

"Yes, I forgot to say, but I'm going to pull the court to the nominal ruler of Silver Mountain.That's what I was going to do. "

"You want to go to court?... I see. "

"It would be more convenient for Neko and Maori.If you donate 5,000 or 10,000 pieces a year, you'll be happy to lend me your name.The court is poor. "

"The princess is spicy... well, that's true."

People cheek it with a bundle of bills.I can do something about it!
