Inari wants to live in peace

This is the New Year's celebration of the 11th year of Yongroku.

I sat in the upper seat between the main shrine and tasted the New Year cuisine on the table, while holding the sake poured into the cup, tilting gently and looking at my expression reflected on the water.

(Hmm, it's not growing at all.It has been a long time since I came to the past)

Although no hostage demands have been made on Daimyo everywhere, each of them builds their own Edo Mansion, houses their high-ranking family members, and conveniently uses it instead of an urban villa.

And now, in front of me who still likes alcohol, everyone is coming in turn with a pleasant smile and pouring spirits as a New Year's greeting.

"Happy New Year!Thanks to God Inari Omiyaki, my territory has been saved! "

"No, this is Dai-san's help, and thank you again this year."

I greeted him unobtrusively, saying that I would definitely come to see the territory if I had the opportunity, and I felt relieved to go if I could.

However, many people come to say hello to the New Year, so it stinks of plain smell.While responding appropriately with a split, there was a lot going on last year... and I was looking back at the past slowly.

Firstly, an investigation of strange diseases was conducted in Takeda Shingen-san's territory, but it was found that there was a high probability that a career was lurking by the water.

It is still difficult to prove viruses and parasites in today's era without microscopes, and we can only call on residents to stay away from dangerous areas until further investigation is possible.

And since there was a promise during the Kamiguro period, in order to fulfill it, the Shogun made a large subsidy and carried out landfill and water treatment work.

It was also decided to launch full-scale viticulture, which was being experimented with as part of the business plan.

While wine production has already begun, it still takes time to secure a coherent amount.

Of course, other fruit trees and vegetables will be grown to dig wells away from marshes, wetlands, and rivers to ensure that water is used there.

However, regardless of the shogunate putting a spear into the policy of each great name, it seems that there was no consultation or generous support in the past, and this response was very surprising.

However, it was not free of charge, but part of the income was collected from the territories renamed after the clan as taxes and deposited in the state budget.

Previously, I used to run bicycles at the national treasury of Mikawa and Ozaki, or to pay for the Inari Daimyojin, but I plan to pay for Takeda and public utilities to each territory from here on out next year.

And we are carefully pursuing crop and livestock breeding improvements from foreign countries so as not to disrupt Japan's ecosystem.

Wherever the wind blows, such as the common sense and religious ethics of this era, the average temperature in Japan is so low that it can be described as a small glacial age, but as long as it does not come in abnormal weather, the crop fruit, cow milk production and livestock development were very good.

Tokugawa-san has asked me several times about it, but I can only control it myself with stupidity and fox fire, and the others are in a refreshing state.

Therefore, if it is related to Inari-sama, I will always have the ability to ignore it.

Since there are no instructions for this body, it is unlikely that there is any hidden mysterious power.

Besides, I didn't think of any way to look into it at all, so I decided to spend my days at ease thinking that I couldn't help but worry about it.

Regardless, I am honestly glad that the herbivores' modest diet, which was common knowledge in this era, has dramatically improved.

Besides fish and shellfish in rivers and seas, wildlife in forests and flatlands, more and more people were able to eat protein such as ranch meat and chicken farm eggs.

Nevertheless, it still takes time to reach the general public, so I would like to slowly increase the item and food self-sufficiency rate.

The story is about the Ryukyu kingdom, which has changed to become a child of Japan.

I named it Okinawa as if I had just come up with a coincidence to show that I had escaped from the dawn.

I feel like it's a little ahead of the times, but it's not that bad right now.

Goodwill ambassadors have already sailed on newly built ships in the northern part of Ewha instead of the south.

Looking around Japan today, there are skirmishes, but they are decreasing year by year, and no major battles have taken place since the shogunate opened in Edo.

It's just a windy sail, and when the national budget is allocated this year, we will dispatch investigators to various places to hasten the construction of a lifeline for a comfortable life.

There is no electricity, gas, and railways in this era, but there is water, transportation, and information that will be thoroughly strengthened.

Of course, electricity, gas and railways must also be important, so no matter how far the road to practical application is, they will be asked to carry out research and development underwater.

My modern knowledge is widespread throughout the country, so I'm sure it will be accomplished someday.

Looking back at the events of last year, the New Year's greeting was completed safely, and I didn't want to have a banquet.

Tokugawa-san sends a signal with his eyes when he asks for a closing word.

As always, I don't give you the script, so I take a deep breath to change my mind and improvise to say what I came up with.

"Thanks to everyone's help, we have successfully celebrated the New Year.

But big reforms across Japan have only just begun. "

Last year, Daimyo from around the world spread the teachings of Inari God and achieved good results.Now I can say that I was finally recognized by the Japanese people.

But in reality, it hasn't started yet.Rather, I'm finally standing on the start line.

"Beyond the sea are Korea and Akebuku, but there are hundreds of other Powers.

Some countries are closing the gap in trying to dominate Japan. "

How could North Korea be born in my words?No, it's possible if it's obvious. So many countries?Then, before being attacked... the main shrine is wrapped in a temporarily noisy atmosphere early in the New Year.

"I am a general of Kaisei, but I do not intend to invade other countries.

The reason is that Japan is just a small country protected by the sea, and we know that targeting the whole world is a reckless attempt to bite a mouse into a dragon. "

Everyone listens silently to me to find out if I'm confused at the top of Japan, and if so, how we're going to move correctly.

As I have just said, if Tokugawa-san had become the Great General of Kaisei, he would have been fooled on the spot and would not have waited for the curtain, but he was not God.

Over the past year, Inari's teachings have been spreading and have had a visible effect.

From the perspective of the people who live in this era, it is the work of God and he believes me to be a true Inari Daimyo God.

"It's not a good idea to fight bad and buy the wrath of the dragon, and I'm not giving orders to the people to go to the dead.

That's why we focus on home affairs, conduct our clandestine policies, and choose countries where we can be friendly with each other. "

If Japan cannot win alone, if small countries join forces to resist the domination of the great powers, there is still a chance.

But the breathtaking East Asian countries will not be able to cooperate easily, and on the contrary, they will try to subordinate us to see where we stand.

"The North Sea… No, sending goodwill ambassadors to Egyptia is one of them, actively sending missions to untapped countries to build national ties and increase allies."

So I thought about sending Japanese settlers to offshore islands to build a pioneering village.

With my awkward modern knowledge, navigation technology should also be evolving, so I will use it to expand my forces outside.

That said, it is not a colonial rule, but a form of building friendship with the natives by searching for uncivilized land on ships.

The celebration of the eleventh year of Yongroku was held when such a policy of softening was formulated and, although memorable, guidebooks of various foreign countries were distributed.

It is said to be like a light arrow, but after the end of the thirteenth year of Yongroku, it became a former turtle.But it also closed in a short period of only four years.

Above all, it seems that Ashigaru Yoshihiro, Ashigaru's brother, paid the Imperial Court a large sum of money to buy an age number.

I am the one who is opening the Edo Shogunate as General Kaiji, but it is an eternal mystery why I thought the Muromachi Shogunate could be rebuilt.

As a result of Mr. Oda's visit and sincere persuasion of him, it took time, but the former turtle was withdrawn.

And Yoshiaki Ashigari apologized that he was now reflecting on the naming of General Koi.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't know how to pursue the glory of the past.Also, since the opponent was a relative of the former general, he decided to miss it only once.

In the spring of the Tensho New Year, not only Ezo and the Chijima archipelago... but also birch trees became part of Japan for some reason.

Incidentally, we did not colonize it, but only as a result of continuing friendly relations.

Their idea is not to abandon their culture at all, but to live a better life under the rule of Inari God.Therefore, they want us to naturalize to Japan as a new domain.

In this case, I was used to being treated by God, and I decided to accept that it happened to be compatible with the Spirit Faith, but somehow I couldn't help it...

And I accidentally mistakenly said that Ezo changed its place name to Hokkaido.

Ainu and Japanese people don't mind their old names, but since Okinawa became more popular than the Ryukyu Kingdom, I felt that we were about to change.

In addition, in the same year, the spread of azimuthal magnets made it possible to know the exact orientation even on the ocean, and it became possible to reach distant islands and continents with newer ships that were larger than ever before.

Diseases peculiar to sailors could also be prevented by keeping a diet that could be stored for a long time without breaking down nutrients.

As a result, thanks to God Inari Omiya, faith will become more and more popular.

And the development of Japan didn't stop, and I felt that it was increasing gradually.

After all, less than a year after thousands of teeth began to spread, an amazing grain removal machine was invented in which the teeth rotated when stepped on by foot.

I can't stand to be honored for all of this, and I was only indirectly involved, and the Japanese people are already out of their hands.

They took advantage of the knowledge given to them and developed it with ingenuity.Therefore, it is undoubtedly the efforts of the people who live in this era.

So today, I invited people from all over the country who gave great credit to Inari Taisha Shrine in Edo to claim that they were completely untouched.

A special ceremony will be held on the premises to greatly honor each clan and people before they watch.

At that time, I will award a medal by hand.The design is the pattern of the Inari Omiya god and the shape of the little fox sitting with chocolate, the chain is silver and the statue is a cute necklace of gold.

It is a craftsmanship crafted by top craftsmen.

"Er... Hanako invented a barrel-shaped washing machine, and the Inari Daimyojin here praises his great contribution to the development of Japan, giving him a Japanese medal and ten pieces."

"Ah! Thank you! It's going to be a family heirloom for generations!"

Insufficient in height, she sat on an overly decorated wooden pedestal and gently put a medal on Hanako-san who lowered her head.

Like the pendant today, the Japanese have long walked away from me.

The modern knowledge I have taught is widespread throughout Japan, and the rest will sprout and bloom without my involvement.

In addition, washing boards were popular throughout the country a long time ago, and this time hand-held barrel-shaped models were invented.

She sends a cheer and applause, and I look at it satisfactorily and then slowly step off the stage.

Like the flow work, Tokugawa-san took charge of the wooden platform and quietly lowered it to the next person's feet.

"Er... the mission led by Katsu-san made a great contribution to the friendship between Ewai and Hakata Lalia (named after Australia and Inari-sama).

Inari Daimyojin celebrates here, awarding the Japanese Medal and Ten Pieces. "

"Thank you! Happy! I will continue to work for Inari Omiyaki God in the future!"

Somehow I thought it sounded familiar with his last name, but I'm sure it was his fault.

He was still a fresh boy when I nominated him as a Goodwill Ambassador on the spot, but now he seems to be a daunting young samurai, rubbed by the sea breeze and exotic atmosphere.

I put a medal on Katsushi-san's neck, which is completely tall, and I feel the flow of the moon and day, and I realize once again that I haven't grown up.

(It might be better to retreat early and pull it into the back of the mountain)

If you step off the platform, Tokugawa-san will be given the next medal.As the ceremony proceeds solemnly, I think vaguely about what to do next.

The Japanese respect modernity even in modern times, but what would happen to me if I were invaded by the Powers as they have historically done?

I have moved to avoid foreign fights and increased my allies so that I can live in peace and security, but there is no guarantee that I will be able to prevent them.

Especially now, after a major voyage, the developed countries are descending into the unopened lands, approaching friendly and extracting information, and then killing natives and animals to colonize them.

I am worried about the history of B-class movies, some of which have been interpreted too extensively.

But if such a person looks at me who is ruling Japan...

(Fox daughter who speaks people's words almost immortally.Besides, I have unknown knowledge, so it would be strange not to be targeted)

Navigation technology and information transmission have not yet been developed, and the state of distant Japan has only spread rumours to other countries.

However, if steam ships were to be built around the world, black ships might come from afar and force the founding of nations.

And if you succumb once, it's almost impossible to roll back, and then a cheat and inequality pact will be concluded.

I will eventually be taken away by hostiles and treated like a laboratory animal.

(Ha... my dream of living peacefully in the Edo period and fulfilling my longevity has been crushed)

Tokugawa-san's baton touch is the same, but after hiding, you can live in secrecy without anyone knowing where you are, not the Inariyama in Mikawa.

For a few years I'll be busy hunting in the mountains, but if I run away and hide until I give up, I win.

Hokkaido seems to be a good place to hide. I secretly planned to hide after my retirement.
