Inari wants to live in peace
Episode 23 Treatment of Missionaries (5) Petition
The persuasion that endured my shame culminated in the summer of the Eternal Ten Years, a period of time passed.
Not only big names from all over the country, but also traders and craftsmen continued every day at the dawn of their tax-related work, and we managed to formally set standards to pay to the Edo Shogunate.
It is close to the end of this year, around the end of autumn, when we collected our annual bonus.Therefore, the Inari Taisha Shrine in Edo bore the entire national budget for the first year.
Incidentally, we have adopted the policy of advancing water treatment work nationwide, but specifically, we have announced the condition that aid will be provided from the Edo Shogunate for certain projects.
I will leave it up to the celebrities everywhere to decide whether to do it or not.
Tokugawa-san says that if we proceed with the construction of Daimyo's territory independently and exclusively at this time of the unification of the world, there is a possibility of rebellion.
Above all, the Shogun was overwhelmingly short of manpower to carry everything.
If you ask me, it's convincing, only the factions that were enemies a while ago.
If you behave yourself too much in someone else's house, it's no wonder you're angry.
Above all, there are many officials who cannot go home now, and if I spread my hands any further, others will die of overwork.
So I decided to wait and see how it goes for a while.
Another objective was achieved, which was to make it easy to understand that paying taxes would make it possible for the country to obtain loans.
I nodded convinced by Tokugawa-san's advice, but I felt I could rely on it.
It is a good and sunny day in the autumn of the Ten Years of Everlasting Lock.
An official of the Shogunate told me that there was a project that I wanted to consult with Inari God immediately.
At that time, I was gathering fallen leaves in the garden to bake potatoes, but I stopped and moved from the back of the sanctuary forest to the main shrine.
I walked down the hallway and waited for me to enter the Inari Taisha Shrine. Naturally, the officials who were having a headache were more prominent than anything else, a pile of paper piled up in front of them.
As I sat down in a cushion spread out on a high tatami mat floor, I drank warm green tea brought by the cherry blossom keeper and asked the official who was nearby.
"What is this?"
Slightly pale, he turned his eyes towards us and answered immediately.
"It is a purchase order for water treatment work."
Not only can you get subsidies for water treatment work, but it's not just the way you used to be inefficient, and the latest technology comes with a set.
It is also convincing that applications from all over the country will arrive.
I asked her to bring me some piles and piles of paper, and this time I told Kikuchi-chan.
Then, one by one, I checked what was written on the paper she had brought.
(Hmm, it's written in Japanese for the future, and there's nothing unnatural about it.)
Even though the Inari Daigin has a limited amount of money, the upper limit was naturally set, but all the big names are planning to fix the water to the full limit.
Personally, I am very pleased to be able to help eliminate water shortages throughout the country.
But in the present situation, even if there is money, there is not enough husband at all.
No matter how few fights they lose and the risk of losing farmers' lives, they have the job of producing rice to pay their annual contribution.
Since participation in the work was limited to a short period of time, there were limits to the manpower available.
Then it is necessary to prioritize and start construction from a place where there is likely to be a shortage of water, but you can send a technical instructor to the site to set up a follow-up.
Incidentally, Tokugawa-san is currently very busy, so he hasn't come in between.
She keeps it in the office every day and pickles it every day.
I know that I am increasing the pile of documents, but it is necessary to bring richness to all Japanese citizens.
I will warm up General Kagi's chair for him, so I want him to forgive me somehow.
After handing over the subsidized paper to Kratie again, I turned to another pile of paper bundles right next door.
This one?
"A hostage petition to the Edo Shogunate."
"Eh, what is it? What's that?"
Tilt your neck to words you're unfamiliar with.
With that in mind, I recalled that during the Sengoku period, when alliances were made with enemy forces, it was normal to offer hostages as proof of non-betrayal.
The relationship between Tokugawa-san and Imakawa-san was the same, so it may not be unusual.
(I'm sure they'll take hostages from the Edo shogunate.I lowered my head as much as I could during this time, and I can see that I can look down.)
My family is only wolves, so I think Tokugawa-san and the officials are asking me to take their relatives hostage.
As for the mood, I don't know.
I'm not going to betray you, so I don't mind, but unfortunately, the Edo Shogun is chronically understaffed.
Now that my family is a valuable workforce, if I send human resources to the provinces, it will be impossible for me to turn government around.
Disturbed about what I was doing, one of the officials began to make a very troublesome look and explain.
"I would like to offer you a hostage as proof that I will never betray Inari God.
We receive such petitions from celebrities across the country. "
When I heard that, I was surprised at the unexpected content, and my ears and tails stood up and suddenly suddenly came out.
"Don't be ridiculous! What is it?! What is it!?"
What the hell is this?What am I supposed to do?I stopped thinking and was stunned for a minute, but I managed to restart it.
"Oh, well, what good is it for the local celebrities if they take hostages to the Edo Shogun?"
Officials think for a while about my woeful questions and are afraid to answer them.
"You can experience the state of the art of Japanese fashion and rarely see Inari God.
What's more, parents can ensure spiritual security. "
Before or after, it is certainly good for parents.
If Daimyo takes hostages to the shogunate, he will feel reassured that his safety has been guaranteed.
But the era of security with family life is over.
In the future, it was the policy of the Edo Shogunate to protect the name after paying taxes.
In other words, those who fail to perform their duties to the public seriously compromise safety.
However, it is difficult to change the mindset of the long-standing Sengoku era.
Especially the Daimyo people, whose lives were in danger on a daily basis, would think they could not sleep with their pillows raised without sending their relatives as hostages.
But I have nothing to do with that.It was always about me, and the contents were open to former high school girls of the future.
"Sending hostages is just a nuisance."
"... I guess."
I don't want to put pressure on famous people everywhere from the beginning.
Although I desperately stopped it, it can also be regarded as giving hostages to reward the mercy, sincerity, and gratitude of Inari God.
That's why I know how you feel.
Still, I still have trouble handling it and I can't handle it.
I wonder if there is a good place to drop it, and I say the same thing.
"At this time, let's hire Inari Taisha as a temporary staff member."
Are you sure?
Officials question, but they do not involve themselves separately in the centre of the Shogun.
At best, I will leave it to anyone who can teach, such as an apprenticeship in a priesthood or help with a shrine.
"Whatever the hostage's thoughts, it's no good if a high-ranking person stays unemployed."
A great man sent to Edo from his homeland, but the Shogun did not demand any hostages.
If you stay unemployed, it's not like your shoulders are narrow.
The officials also agreed with this, and immediately struck me with a gavel when I nodded.
"I didn't know it was going to be an army medal long ago, and it became the world of Taipei under heaven.
I'm sure you'll always be unemployed and have a narrow shoulder. "
In the future, some people think that they will lose if they bite their parents' shanks or work.
But not long before the end of the Sengoku era, there are few forces that can afford to live there.
If you are a big son or daughter, you have the option of helping your parents with their work, but you have to take care of your minister.
So I'm sure they'll send me as a hostage, giving priority to women and children who can't work properly yet.
"My title alone is a priest at Inari Taisha Shrine.This will allow you to report it to your hometown with all your heart. "
For a while, I plan to have my clergy and witch apprentice remember my work and allow my parents to contact me by letter.
Officials nod happily, so it's not a bad idea.
"Someone who's been taken hostage must have a nose high."
It is not strange to hire me to help the shrine, because I am in the first place the Great General Kaisei but I am the Inari God.
"Above all, as Edo grows, Inari Taisha will run out of staff."
In addition, Edo will become the largest city in Japan in the future, although it still has a large population as well as other towns.
Naturally, the number of visitors to Inari Taisha Shrine is expected to increase dramatically, so it is certain that the priesthood that is currently working alone will not be able to turn around.
These circumstances also led to permanent employment at Inari Taisha Shrine as soon as the hostages arrived in Edo with painful preparations.
We were in a mess for a while without knowing what it was, but when the situation was explained, we were able to decorate our hometown with brocade, and we were the winners in the palm of our hand.
