Inari wants to live in peace

After the end of the Genroku period, Hoshinaga began, and a group visit to Ise Jingu, a shadow trip, became a pandemic.I thought... but it looks like Inari Taisha Shrine in Edo.

One of the reasons why the railway line led not only to Honshu but also to Kyushu and Shikoku, and the steam locomotive carrying ordinary customers started operating, but it was unclear how this happened.

Incidentally, the number of trains and stations is still small, and tickets are very expensive, but far cheaper than walking trips, greatly reducing travel time.

Instead, the mountain teahouse and station town will become a serious management crisis, but I have been giving advice for a long time, so I hope you will help me attract customers.

Regardless, group visits led to millions of people visiting Inari from all over Japan, excluding Hokkaido and Okinawa.

Even though there were a significant number of people in and around Edo, if they were to arrive from all over the country, they would easily cross the processing limits of Inari Taisha Shrine.

So I decided to expand the grounds of the shrine, increase the number of priests and festivals, and distribute the good deeds of worshippers.

First, head down to the neighbors, buy land at a high price, and bring in a lot of trees and soil from the northern mountains, as you've done in the past.

Since the Tokugawa Shogunate was much more efficient than it was when it first opened, it shouldn't have taken that long.

But it took me three years to finish.This was because too many festive gods and clergy applicants applied, and the land they had planned was not enough, and eventually it swelled many times.

So, you're finally finished?

"Yes, the innermost Inari Shrine has been renovated to make it more beautiful. Inside the outer moat, there are eight million other gods who are profitable, including the Amaterasu Goddess.

There are also Buddhism and Christianity, so there is no shortcoming. "

It's gorgeous, like a god's bargain sale.Even if this is our destiny, worshippers are certainly dispersed.

It was then renovated from a mountain hut to a modern single-occupancy house by the craftsmanship of the Miyako carpenter.

In the living room of such a house, I heard from the officials of the Shogun involved in this construction, and I felt relieved that this should be done... and stroked my chest down.

Four years ago, the Japanese sweet, Akafuku, which is to be sold in Ise, arrived to me as a gift.It has a simple and nostalgic taste of soft rice cakes and sweet koshi paste that are easy to chew off.

I feel relieved when I sit face to face at the edge of my house and enjoy it with my hojicha, it seems like I have returned to the distant past that I put on the other side.

Incidentally, Inari Taisha Shrine, which is the current parent house, is a collection of shrines, temples and churches all over the country. It is such a clump that I don't understand the concept, and it was a thank-you to many worshippers every day.

Even in the travel brochure, when you come to Edo, you should go to Inari Taisha Shrine first, which is a big deal.

Therefore, by increasing the size and festival gods, I fell into a vicious circle of attracting more guests.

As a result, clergy officials have become feathers who work like horses every day, reducing their sleep time no matter how many more employees they have.

But thanks to this, the forest, which is the sanctuary where Inari God lives, has become larger.

My house is very quiet because there is no noise from the front.I personally thought it would be easier if I didn't take into account the hardships of others.

In Hoshinaga five years ago, not only the volcanic eruption and the great earthquake and tsunami, but also Mt. Fuji, a symbol of Japan, exploded in November last year, and volcanic ash flew to Edo.

I was very surprised because of the image of a ceasefire volcano all the time in modern times.

It was a separate project, but on the last day of January of the same year, it was decided to gather between the main shrine of Inari Taisha Shrine and Naomi.

The consultation between Tokugawa Tatsuyoshi and officials of the Shogun there was a desire to revise the money currently in circulation in April this year.

Everything seems to be planned to become a treasure trove of the new currency, but I insisted firmly that it should be a yen.

The detailed reason was properly deceived, but the words of the ruler of Japan, the Emperor Goddess.

Mr. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi shook his head vertically without worrying, although he was slightly distracted by a lack of understanding of the tension.

When I asked why the new currency was being circulated, I began to see a shadow in the amount of gold and silver produced in the country, and it seems that copper is at its peak, and that it will be used as a raw material in the future.

After that, I was shown the coin I tried, but I don't like to carry such heavy money with me for shopping.… and expressed frank feelings.

By the way, I've never paid money to shop since I was sent to the Sengoku period, but I put it on the shelf.

"So let's make it a note using a printing press."

"What do you call banknotes?"

"It's hard to carry such heavy money.If you put it in a note, it'll be lighter. "

Banknotes that cannot be used outside of Japan are very light, and mass production is easy as long as there is a bespoke printing press.

However, since it is bulky when it is made from one yen, I will tell you that the coin will be reduced to less than one hundred yen.

"To prevent counterfeiting, you need to use a serial number or watermark.

Better than the bigger, heavier coins. "

"Ah... well, what about the original drawing of the note?"

"... yes, it's common to bring in Japanese greats and landscapes."

Mr. Tatsuyoshi Tokugawa and the shogunate officials thanked him for his reference and left.

I will come back to talk to you again when I have a sample banknote.

For the Edo Shogunate, the breakdown in the balance between domestic demand for precious metals and supply was a headache, so it seems that my proposal was to cross the border.

By the way, it was decided that hundreds, five hundred, thousands, five thousand and ten thousand yen notes would be made for circulation from April.

Otherwise, one, five, ten, and fifty remained coins, but were smaller and lighter near the future, making them much easier to carry than before.

Two weeks after getting those processes and consulting.

When I was summoned again to look at the sample, I held my head with a small hand and questioned the officials of the shogun with a confident face.

"Why am I depicted in 10,000 yen notes?"

"Inari Omiya God is the ruler of Japan!"

"Oh, really? Well... the watermark and the serial number are perfect, and there will be no problem."

"Thank you! Now let the public know and we will start distributing in April!"

Start collecting old coins at the beginning of April and exchange them for new coins and notes of the same amount.Let the people of Japan know this in advance.

By the way, besides me, Inari God (fake), there were great people of the past engraved, such as Ieyasu Tokugawa and Nobunaga Oda, Prince Saint Tokuji and Purple Bu, and even Amaterasu Daikin.

The person depicted doesn't exist in this world anymore, but the only exception is that he or she remains alive and becomes a banknote.

(Speaking of which, am I God?Are you a human or a monster?)

Though I twisted my neck with God and man, there was no answer in the end.

After dropping off an official who leaves with a full smile, I feel as comfortable as usual thinking that there is no change in my personal life when I know who I am and that anything else is okay...

When I got home, I quickly changed my mind about eating the thunder I got as a souvenir.

In April of Hoyong five years ago, there was little confusion because I had been informed in advance of the recovery of currency.

And I was able to switch from coin to note smoothly.

The people were delighted to be freed from old coins, which were difficult to carry and felt heavy and inconvenient from everyday life.

Then he holds a brightly colored and beautifully drawn note in his hand and looks at it from a variety of angles.

By the way, it's an old coin that the Shogun collected, but it died without being used.This is because today Japan is owned by Hokkaido and Australia is its parent country.

Because there is nothing in particular to buy from other countries, they will not take money outside the country, and further production of old coins was possible, but it is not always cheaper ahead.

It's not like I want precious metals enough to stick my hands out of my throat.At best, it would be nice to have a cane that doesn't fall, but it's important to hit first.

But here things happened that neither I nor the Shogun had expected.

A trading country bought Japanese banknotes at a high price and took them home.

New banknotes can only be used as domestic currency.However, the craftsmanship was so clever and cohesive that its value as a work of art became very high.

Especially the 10,000 yen bill seemed to have been made by Kaishin, and even if he paid more than ten times as much gold and silver, he sold it to fly.

Wherever it came from, or whether the Shogun intentionally spilled it to the people, or whether the Inari Daimyojin was reluctant to take precious metals from Japan abroad, such rumours began to whisper to Makoshi.

When asked during the usual genuine talk, I said it was a clear fact because there was no reason to lie.

Although it has not been brought overseas for the time being, the demand for metals in Japan will increase even more, so I told you in detail that no matter how much technology there is, there is nothing to make without materials at that time...

In fact, Japan's technological capabilities are growing rapidly, and it is in the middle of modernization as if it had already entered the Meiji period.

Even though demand for metals was increasing, they were never needed anymore.

In August of Hoyong five years ago, it seems that the missionaries of the Sicilian kingdom, which was in modern Italy, landed on Yakushima on their own initiative and suffered a great deal of agony.

In the first place, Japan is a clandestine country, and we do not deal with any other countries than the trading countries. The missionaries also recognize it, but it is permit-based. Otherwise, we can only leave the island or go out of the surrounding towns.

Perhaps he wanted to save the people who were being held captive by the cult Inari God because of his Christian beliefs, and he was not standing or standing.

The shogun officials told me that he was dressed like a samurai and mistaken for the locals.

But he couldn't understand the words, so he thought he was suspicious and found out who he was.

Besides, the samurai are now militia members and hold bayonets instead of swords. Police officers patrolling towns and villages are equipped with batons and pistols as standard, and firefighters do not possess any kind of weapons.

But I can't help but say that he did.In today's world, it is the private soldiers or civilians of the clan who are wearing swords, and the number is small but still there.

But they are almost fashionable because they rarely leave their workplace.

In the first place, a missionary from the Kingdom of Sicily shaved his hair to resemble a samurai, and he looked suspicious from anywhere.

That's why the neighbors were suspicious and couldn't help but report it to the police.

After all, the missionary named Giovanni Sidotti was very surprised to see the katsu-don served in the detention area after being captured by the Satsuma clan police officers. After eating a bite, he honestly responded to the inquiry while engulfing himself with a broken spoon.

As far as I heard, the first offender this time, the disguised equipment was confiscated, but not guilty, and sent back to Dejima promptly.

I feel the kindness that is very different from the Sengoku period, but this is because Japan's top god is the fox.

The people were resistant to strangers' skin, subtle differences in eyes and hair, so that they could be done by somewhat unusual people.

The rest was not accurately measured, but Taipei's prolonged presence under heaven increased the overall happiness of the people and made them angry for a few things.

People seem to know etiquette with insufficient food and clothing, and Japanese people today probably have room for hearts and minds.

Anyway, I'll send you a letter thanking the locals for their generosity.Because rubbing with foreign countries is really troublesome.

Hoshinaga is finished and righteousness begins.

General Kaisei became a Tokugawa family propaganda, but as usual, there are major eruptions everywhere in Japan every year, and it is very lively.

Long live the coins, avoiding the rattling that would have happened if they had been turned into banknotes, and even cheaper production costs.

Nevertheless, this yen is based on the assumption that the people trust the country and believe that the piece of paper is worth it.

But if, for example, the ruler betrays the expectations of the people, there is also the possibility that at that moment, it will collapse and become as worthless as toilet paper.

Since I am at the top of the country today, it may be said that depending on the future steering, it will be divided into two parts, gold or roadside stone, depending on faith, trust, appreciation, and so on.

At that time, I thought it would be best to move from coins to banknotes, but unlike gold and silver, the rise and fall of value was intense.

Maintaining high rates is difficult, and ex-girlfriend high school students who honestly don't know the economy or politics are overloaded.

Therefore, we will decide only on a rough policy around here, and leave the rest to the mining and deployment of the modern Kaisei Daiichi, and we will throw the usual round.

The mochi is a mochi shop, and one day, as I said, all I knew was the reason set by heaven, and I neglected the reason of the world of men.
