Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 23 Treatment of Missionaries (2) Renovation

Sitting on a thick cushion laid on a higher tatami mat during the viewing, I realize that if I don't have time to do water treatment work for a long time in order to reduce the sacrifice, even if I don't respond.

As a result, I thought until the wisdom fever came out and came to a certain conclusion, so I put it into my mouth.

Not in the conventional way of water treatment work.

In today's era, manpower is the main factor, so it takes too much time to carry out simultaneous water treatment work throughout the country.

In that case, even though you can dig wells and get water, Nagayama Village was able to do this early because of the physical abilities of her fox daughter.

Even though I had a hand in traveling around the country to dig wells, I absolutely didn't want to do it because I loved dragging life.

So, what do we do?

With Tokugawa-san raising the most serious question, I said something that came to mind on the spot.

"Since the water treatment work will last a long time, it is unlikely to be effective overnight.

Then the alternative is to dig a well to secure the source of water.

Regardless of the drilling method, if we can reach the water vein ─ ─ "

Simultaneous nationwide water treatment work will take time anyway.

Well digging is an alternative, but the spring water is blown to the ground under water pressure.

Even if it doesn't spring up, it will be possible to assemble water from the ground deep if even the vacuum pump can be put into practice.

To do this, however, we must first dig into the water vein, and in the conventional way, it is nearly impossible to achieve the goal in the short term.

So, are you going to develop well drilling technology?

Tokugawa-san asked me, so I immediately shook my head and denied it.

"No, this is not what we do"

"Inari, why is that?"

In response, I will respond directly without bothering.

"because we need the help of the entire nation."

What!?

This is what happens normally in Japan in the future.

But now that the world has been unified, it is unusual for such an idea to emerge.

It is not impossible for those gathered during the observation to raise their voices of surprise.

Anyway, I flashed a solution to the rush, and explained it to everyone as I organized it in my head.

"The work we have to do is enormous, and we are always short of talent.

So we need to recruit collaborators for the general public. "

"It's certainly an ideal, but is it going to be that easy?"

Tokugawa-san just got a sharp comment, so I'll just think about it a little while disturbing my head before I speak.

"How about rewarding those who respond to the shogunate's request?"

But Tokugawa-san asked even deeper without thinking.

"Depending on the content of the reward, it seems to work.

But where do you get the money for that? "

This is the first time in the Edo Shogunate that the Ministry of Finance, rather than the Ministry of Finance, has ever wanted to suspect it.

If you are so steadfast, it is impossible to pass on rumors of Tokugawa reserves to future generations.

Still, right now, I'm going to make a full spin of my missing head to escape the pursuit, and somehow move my mouth.

"I can turn around Inari Taisha's operating expenses, but I want to separate religion from politics."

It's a terrible healing when Inari God is doing General Kaiji.

There is a strong image of a country where religion makes a difference in the future, causing trouble as often as possible.If I could, I wouldn't go too far to avoid it.

So I got a little bit ahead of the times.

"Let's collect taxes every year from now on."

"Tax? Is it like a levy on a seat or a temple?"

Regardless of Tokugawa, the rice trade is dominated by Daimyo.

Money exchanges like merchant unions may be a little unfamiliar.

With that in mind, I will explain to the representatives of the departments gathered during the observation.

"By paying a portion of your annual income, like an annual bonus, we guarantee the safety and security of the area.

In addition, special loans shall be granted from the Edo Shogunate. "

What we're doing is almost the same as Japanese taxes in the future.However, if there is no currency there, it is a big difference to deal with bartering.

In the Sengoku period, in addition to the circulation of coins, the exchange of goods was normal, so there was no problem.

However, it is difficult to calculate, so I will create a manual and get familiar with it.

In addition, it is Keisei who guarantees peace of mind and safety, but it should be okay because disaster dispatches are carried out properly.

By the way, I'm not a politician or an economist, but I only have average knowledge up to the first year of high school.

Anyway, as I explained in turn, Tokugawa-san raised a lot of questions in the middle of the conversation.

"What happens if I don't pay taxes?"

"I can't help it. When something happens, it just lowers your priority."

If you do not pay taxes, you may be excluded from the Japanese government's guarantee.

However, there is no expulsion and no arrest unless you work as a tax thief or fraud.If you're a first-time offender, you'll have the warmth to just call attention.

However, Tokugawa-san looked at me with a sinister face and shouted.

"Isn't that a kind of threat anymore?"

"No, taxes are the responsibility of Japanese citizens."

It's really like that in the future.In order to live in Japan with peace of mind, we must pay taxes.

But the basic system is roughly the same in every country.

If I were an adult, I would have normally accepted it while complaining about the duties of the people.

"You'll soon get used to it, just like your annuity or your seat collection."

Oh, is that so?

I still don't seem to know one thing about the flow based on money, not rice.

All the ministers, including Tokugawa-san, had half-baked expressions.

However, money is definitely easier to use than rice in order to achieve future reforms in Japan.

I'm going to take it from traders and craftsmen, but I don't have to decide everything else.It would be better to leave it to a good official or someone else to handle it properly.

However, he intended to inflict a proportionate punishment for his wrongdoing.

Anyway, it is certain that the laws of the country will be significantly changed, and the tax system alone will not help.

If so, I will continue to take this opportunity to make the next suggestion.

At this time, let's change the identity system.

"Identity system? How?"

I didn't learn at my age, but I told him what happened when the history teacher's class derailed.

It's Shino Kogyo.

"I see, after the samurai, are you a peasant?It's not a bad idea to distract dissatisfaction. "

I feel that Tokugawa-san has responded by agreeing with me.

But because I'm a samurai, I'm not going to let you dress up like that.

We make sure that the law is respected, but there is certainly peace of mind that it is above all else.

Moreover, since the population ratio is probably the highest for farmers, I would like to avoid buying their anger.

Even if we abolish the identity system one day, we can't have a rebellion soon after we open the Shogun.

Fortunately, there is now the prestige of General Kaisei and Inari, who borrowed it from the Imperial Court.

With such an outrageous push, you can push through your plan.

So even with taxes and identity systems, there should be less rebellion from big names everywhere.

If there are other major reforms, we can say that now is a great opportunity.

Anyway, after I'm gone, all that authority is gone.

But this is all about making Japan better.

I am sure that after ten years, the Japanese people will accept my laws.

Therefore, we will continue to carry out large-scale reform without stopping.

"Take it for granted to harmonize standards nationwide, and also register and inspect family registers."

There are other items, such as weight and capacity, that were displayed at the Hojo house.

Until now, there have been differences in territory and status, but if the standards are not unified here, we do not know what kind of defects will occur when national exchanges become active.

If I think of anything else, Tokugawa-san will catch his mouth in such a hurry.

"Um, shouldn't we go too far at once?Obviously not enough.

If you exercise too much power, there is a risk that people will lose their minds ─ ─ "

He is right.

However, it is very important to know the population distribution, address, the area of farmland owned by the occupation, and the taxes that can be paid.

Moreover, in the world of Taipei, the population will not decrease while increasing.

If we do not build the foundation of the Edo Shogunate while there are still few people, successors such as the second and third generations after our death will be very difficult.

"Indeed, if you exercise too much power, you will be separated.

But as long as I am General Kaisei, there is no problem.

Instead, it's harder to leave large-scale reforms behind. "

The Japanese people today have great expectations of Inari God.

That's why institutional changes that don't seem to make sense at first glance and place a burden on the people go through with little rebellion.

When governance stabilizes, people hate change and are committed to maintaining the status quo, so it may be difficult for me to get through myself.

And while the Japanese population will grow, it will be troublesome to handle.

"I want to stabilize Japan and lower the load on my shoulders."

"Mummy! I'll work hard!"

They will not expect me to live long enough to believe that I am a true Inari god.

But if you take it apart, the Japanese roof will collapse, so the secret goes to the tomb.

So far away, General Kaisei won't leave, but instead of putting a burden on me forever, I told you to work hard to stabilize Japan as quickly as possible.

Tokugawa-san and other officials were reluctant to accept this.

And the Edo Shogunate has just begun.

Therefore, if it is a new system, it is relatively easy to accept because the Japanese people are prepared.

Therefore, it was concluded that it would be better to clean up all of it in the meantime, without putting it behind.

The calendar shall also be set to the same twelve months as in Japan in the future, and the day shall be changed to twenty-four hours instead of an hour.

Dissemination of watches is difficult at this stage, but calendars can be made by the Shogun or Inari Taisha Shrine and distributed everywhere.

However, if you play with these settings, no one from the Edo Shogunate or Inari Taisha Shrine will remain and enter the Death March.

It's likely to break the eight-hour working day as you will probably vomit blood.

However, we know that the later we turn around, the more jobs our successors will have, the harder it will be.

So I open my mouth with a serious face to everyone here.

"You will not be able to return to our family, so please explain the situation to your family and family.

Thank you very much from tomorrow. "

Declare that, and quickly recruit officials and place massive orders for paper, ink and brushes.

So the meeting ended with a heavy expression.

As a later discussion, various standards were changed, unified, and consciousness reformed throughout Japan, such as family registers, district inspections, setting of time and date.

It was replanted with large trees from an ancient and decaying country, making it as if it were a world tree and a shining light that illuminated Japan so much.

These major reforms were called Inari Restoration.

Furthermore, no changes have been made to Japanese standards even in the year 2000 A.D.

Length, weight, capacity, etc. were determined by Inari Restoration and will be largely described in the history books of future generations.

In addition, we introduced a system that unifies the four lords and six people in annual remuneration, and collects a national budget called taxes not only from big names, but also from merchants and craftsmen.

There was little disagreement.

However, this is an indication of the expectation that Inari God, rather than the Edo Shogunate, will bring benefits beyond annual earnings and taxes.

So if you fail to steer, there will be a nationwide rebellion at that point.Security deteriorated in an instant, and it was no surprise that the world returned to war.

But after two thousand years, Japan is still singing about peace, which is what happened.

In addition, the Edo shogunate recruited collaborators from all over the country to facilitate the flood control work.

As a reward, he declared that he would be awarded the Japanese Medal and ten pieces.

Furthermore, regardless of the status of Shi Agricultural and Industrial Co., Ltd., each accomplishment was properly evaluated and guaranteed in the name of Inari God.

As a result, the motivation of all Japanese citizens rose sharply.

As a result, within a short period of one month after the announcement, many people's wisdom, effort, technology, and many others produced concrete and well excavations.

I think it was with the textbooks I gave that I was able to realize this early.

Regardless, as it gets longer, detailed explanations are omitted, but it is farmers and craftsmen who developed the technology.

When I was awarded the Japanese Medal as proof of my contribution to the country, I was able to easily guess that I had spared a lot of effort while I was asleep because I had a big beak under my eyes.

However, thanks to their work, water treatment work across Japan proceeded at an unprecedented pace.

However, since manpower is the main factor, it is still slow compared to the future and cannot be difficult.

However, I decided to think positively that everything depends on how I perceive it, and I was able to protect the environment of aquatic life.

I heard that Takeda is good at flood control work, so I urgently requested cooperation, and in the meantime, I decided to increase the number of wells to be digged.

Since we were able to dig wells in settlements where water was scarce in a much shorter time than before, it would be a connection until the water treatment work was completed.

Successfully reduces the number of deaths due to starvation and dehydration.

In addition, I dug reservoirs everywhere, made concrete gates even though they were small compared to the future, and stabilized the amount of water, so I was surprised by the effect of almost throwing a round.

But temporarily blocking the water in the river caused eels and fish to climb upstream and disappear.

Therefore, if I could afford it, I would be happy to make a loose slope beside the dam, and I hurried to give additional instructions.

If this is all a gift of the Inari god's extraction, faith will once again grow.

However, the man had to endure shame by severing his patience until he retired.

Anyway, now that we have fulfilled the expectations of the people, we are allowed to take tough measures against authority and obey honestly.

At the moment of betrayal of trust, the rebellion broke out across the country and the collapse of the Edo Shogun returned to the world of war, just as apples fell from trees.

Therefore, it has been much easier to force the unacceptable straddling of failure since the Warring States era.

I wanted to hide as soon as I could and return to a normal girl.
