Amago no Miko

Episode 82 Talking to Hideyuki Matsunaga

Yonglu 3 years (1560 years) November Yanmen Village, Akagawa-gun

I see, the castle on that mountain is in Mt. Mustard River.

Hmm, it looks like a pretty big mountain castle.

After Inwa Temple, we Neko and Bomberman stopped at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, a neighborhood about half a mile east of Inwa Temple, where Emperor Uda also worshipped Sugawara Michima, before heading for Ishimizu Hachimangu Shrine.

Bucchae, I only stopped by to visit Kitano Tenmangu Shrine because it was close to Insa-ji Temple.This is Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, which burned down about 120 years ago.

The culprit is the Muromachi Shogunate.

Also, the Shogunate is burning the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine under pressure from Mt. Hiei Enryakuji, so what the hell are you doing?That's what I'm talking about.When I heard this story, my open mouth wasn't blocked.

This is the first time I've learned that humans can really relax with their mouths open.The Muromachi Shogunate has been in Ouakon for 120 years.It's no wonder you've kept your veins alive so far.

Luckily, however, Kitano Tenmangu was rebuilt differently from Insa-ji, so I was able to come safely.The fact that the Imperial Palace has not been rebuilt tells the story of the impoverishment of the imperial court and invites tears.

Therefore, Michima Sugawara should be the first person to become a god.So is it a relatively new American god with only about 600 years of god history?Most other gods have been veterans for over 2,000 years.

After Kitano Tenmangu, our party crossed the Katsuragase River from a place called Kisshoin to Nishigase, traveled south all the way to Katsuryuji Castle for an overnight stay, and the next day, we visited the Ishimizu Hachimangu Shrine in Oyamazaki, and then crossed the Yodo River to worship the real Ishimizu Hachimangu Shrine.

Seen from Ishi-Shimizu Hachimangu Shrine, the giant pond looked very large and shocked.I don't think anyone in the 21st century knew that there was such a large pond south of Kyoto.

In the future, all the giant ponds are buried so that you can't even see the "o" of the giant ponds.Even in an age without civil construction machinery, humans could do it!

Well, I've already done a ridiculous business of changing the course of the Fiji River.In other words, there is no heavier machine than Mankai Tactics!At times like these, feudal lords are known to be a bargain.

So we once again crossed the Yodo River towards Oyamazaki and entered the land of Atsu, where we are now.Well, I guess a relaxing journey would be nice. If we were to go with the Force, it would be possible to reach Mt. Mustard Castle yesterday.

"Is Neko's Tsukishama Toda Castle bigger?

Hmm, maybe twice as much as that.

Well, if it's such a big castle, it makes sense to leave Ouchi.

At the time of the battle at Tsukiyama Toda Castle, I wasn't born yet.However, since it was a battle between Neko and Daimyo in the western country of Ouchi, it seems to be a battle that has been known up to Tsujiura in Japan.

"Well, there's also the disadvantage that if you have too few soldiers, you won't be able to protect them."

"That was one of the blind spots."

"Isn't a castle the right size for your height the best?

A castle that is too big is too expensive to keep because of its size.Everything is just fine, right?

"Hmm, it was a reference for building a castle in Yamato."

"I don't know about the castle territory."

"No, no, the word moderation was important, so the princess's words were helpful enough."

Isn't it irritating when you say so?Even if that's a compliment.

"Well, that's what I thought before I got here."

"Why are you here?

"Isn't there too many Sekiuchi?

Well, we don't pay tolls at the gate!I'm a visitor to the Imperial Court and the Shogun, by the way.

Mum, did the princess think so too?

"Yes, if I may say so, it's the number of offices that I can only say are crazy."

Ah, you were aware that Bomberman also had a lot of offices.Yes, the number of Sekijo in the five or six miles from leaving the capital city of Kyoto to entering the city of Okinawa exceeds 10.This is an inconceivable number of locations in Izumo and Neko territory.

I can't believe there's always a gate two kilometers away.I already thought it was stupid, but I don't think it's bad.

"Because of the complexity of the interests, it is impossible to increase the number of offices."

"Is the toll of the customs office directly linked to the income of the landlord?"

Thank you, Mr. Left.

There is also a gateway in Neko territory, but the gateway is on the border with the pass, and it also serves as a roundabout for street difficulties.The next customs post is the border with other countries, right?Borders within Neko territory and borders with other countries are a bit confusing, though.

However, there are checkpoints every two or three kilometers, and we do not do anything in Neko territory that would interfere with passage.If you're going to use a soldier for such a stupid thing, I'm going to divert that resource to another job.I think we should make effective use of human resources.

Because even if you look great at Sekijo and collect only tolls, you don't generate anything.There is no productivity.Well, the circumstances are different between Neko and Kinai, so I can't criticize them all.

"If we don't sort out the complicated rights, we can't abolish the office."

"It's hard again."

"I guess so.I tried to say it with ease because I was someone else, but it would be easy to say. "

I'm sure it is.

However, if tolls are taken every time you pass through the customs office, if it is a product, you have to pass it on to the price of the product, so the price of the product jumps.Because prices are high, labor costs are relatively high, right?

Well, some seats are also privileged to waive tolls at the gate.So, I want to believe that the seat product won't be that expensive.I don't think that monopolizing rights in the seat is a very praiseworthy act economically.

A system that does not allow new entrants to the market is likely to create an economic stagnation, right?But when I crushed my seat and broke my vested interests, I can see that the next vested interest holder will create a similar system.

I don't think the principles of human behavior will change much now, in the past, or in the future.

But I think there are advantages to the seat.The advantage of a stable supply of goods.If we let the market completely compete freely, more competitors will fall into price competition, and it is not profitable, so we stopped making it.or something.

There is one, but isn't there one?Well, if demand keeps growing, so might supply.And did you have any problems with a significant price increase to make the monopoly better after driving other colleagues away?

It's too difficult for the economy to see how micro problems can affect macros.After all, perhaps we won't find the right answer in the future.I mean, I just have to go the way I thought I was right.

Long live market control!Long live the controlled economy! Invisible hands?Adam Smith? I don't know.I create the Moral Sentiments!... you're not going to look like menthola, are you?

Not to mention seats and privileges, it is a temple.The bowlers say Bomberman wasn't in the process of pacifying Yamato, too?

Speaking of which, Kazumasa is entertaining me, but is Yamato okay?

"This is how I can take care of the princess because I have a vision for the moment."

Well, it would have made sense not to be here without a vision.That's right, you can't be my entertainer until you get out in the middle of a fight.

Well, that's also true.Yes, as a thank you for taking care of me, I'll write you 5,000 pieces of testimony, so please use it to punish Yamato. "

"Well, thank you for telling me that, okay?

Fighting costs a lot of money.No matter how wealthy they are, Bomberman's personal pockets are a lot of them.Assuming someone doesn't accept 5,000 pieces of goodwill from me, I think that warlord is an idiot.

Money is, after all, only money, no matter what color it is.

"Yeah, it's a bribe, as the saying goes."

My name is Akkeshi.

"When you think of Tatsuhide as Neko's messenger in Kichi, 5,000 pieces is a cheap thing."

"Well, thank you very much.No, honestly, thank you. "

Mm-hmm. I wonder if it's good or not.However, don't buy teaware or anything for that money!

Matsunaga Hideki certainly got 99 eggplant pieces for 500 pieces or 1,000 pieces.I can only think that a thousand sentences in tea is completely crazy.After all, it's just dirt.

Still, compared to the era when Nobunaga and Hideyoshi spread tea ceremony to warlords, the price and value of tea ware, not just 99 eggplant, is still cheaper.....

Well, the land is limited, so perhaps it is a wise choice to increase the authority of tea boilers and the value of tea boilers in order to give them value as a reward.

Still, if you ask me, it's just dirt.

"But spend the money for your people.Don't buy tea or anything like that. "

"That's right, I won't buy it with the money you gave the princess.I'll buy it with my own money. "

Ah, but I'm buying it.This tea is crazy!
