Faced with the impassioned spirit of Kito Yua, Mikami Momo kept secretive. She was already trapped and unable to extricate herself, so she could only bite the bullet and walk all the way to the dark side.
The birth of a new regime and a new system will inevitably create new interest groups.
It is human nature to pursue profit. The top managers may want the system to operate efficiently and cleanly for the sake of long-term stability.
But as the middle and lower-level entities that maintain the system, most people actually consider monetization.
Most people are very realistic and have worked hard to learn martial arts in order to sell themselves to the emperor's family, work hard for the emperor and his father, and establish meritorious deeds, and then they can be high-ranking officials, rich in salary, and rich and powerful.
Even in the years of burning passion, when the cutest person is on the front line, there will still be expired medicine and black-hearted cotton in the rear.
What's more, the organizational system of feudal aristocrats such as the Kanto Palace has been dirty, despicable, and selfish from the first day it was established.
A major corruption case broke out early on on the Naoetsu side of the Hokuriku Dou trade route that was under the management of Moshi, which caused great embarrassment to Naoe Keitsuna and Ohkuma Tohide.
After the establishment of the Wujia Yili Promotion Association, Dazang Changan was in charge of the charity activities in the entire Guanbazhou, and subordinates were indispensable for their implementation.
The top leaders, such as Daxiong Chaoxiu and Dazang Changan, must cherish their feathers and guard against political opponents. In order to maintain their power and position, they will not get involved with those dirty things.
However, the middle- and lower-level adherents of the Buddhist Association and the Samurai Giri Promotion Association are not so self-restrained and cautious.
The United Front Corps, Local Corps, Brotherhood, and Blue Clothes Corps of the samurai consultation mechanism serve as the comprehensive consultation body of the Kanto Palace and also have supervisory obligations.
How many people cannot withstand the temptation of interests and are dragged into the water, becoming part of the interest groups in the new system and taking things they should not take.
The better the development of the Guandong Chamber of Commerce, the greater the benefits, and the deeper and tighter the ties between everyone.
Profit refers to taxes, rent, and interest.
The Kanto Shrine affects the Kanto-Kansai logistics market. The amount of funds borrowed for the diversion project in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, coupled with various expenditure items such as studying abroad, caravans, and relief, is extremely large.
Tariffs, leases, interest rate differentials, various cash-out channels, power rent-seeking, as long as you dare to stretch your hand, the profits of several million stones a year will be enough for everyone to share the profits and feed themselves.
Yua Kito has a strong and upright character and adheres to her ideals, but Momo Mikami assesses the situation and knows how to behave, so she can get a share of the pie.
Everyone can have a tacit understanding and secretly raise their hands to help, but where the benefits come from and where they come in, there must always be a few scapegoats who are pushed out to control the accounts and distribute the benefits.
Guanbazhou has been in war for hundreds of years, business has declined, and the Wu family has been wiped out by wars. The only force that can use money to lend money and develop the economy is the Buddhist temple.
As for temples, incense flourishes during the peacetime, and they receive pilgrims and make a fortune.
In the era of war, the people were desperate, and the money for worshiping gods and Buddhas increased instead of decreasing. They could also take the opportunity to devour the surrounding land and become even more powerful.
The tax revenue from the Ji warriors cannot be collected from the Buddhist nuns, and the nun soldiers raised by the temple are not easy to mess with.
The conflict between the leaders of the Wu family and the leaders of the temple has always been fierce. If the Wu family fights to raise Gu and raises the most powerful ruler, they will take down the temple.
The largest temple power in Kanto must be the Kamakura Gozan.
The Kamakura Five Mountains began at the end of the Kamakura shogunate. The shogunate wanted to control the power of temples, so it bribed the Rinzai sect, which is a lineage of Zen, and established the nun system.
The Kamakura Five Mountains Temple has the highest status, and it manages temples all over the world on behalf of the shogunate. This is a win-win situation for the shogunate and the Rinzai Sect.
But the good times didn't last long. The Mongols invaded the island country, and the Kamakura shogunate resisted desperately. Although it blocked the Mongols, it was unable to pay the reward for the military merits of the warrior Hime. In the end, it was armed to demand wages and collapsed.
After the Ashikaga Shogunate was established, I felt that the nun system of the Kamakura Shogunate was very useful in dealing with the expanding temple power, so I simply copied it and used it.
The foundation of the Ashikaga Shogunate was in Kyoto, so the Five Mountains were established in Kyoto. In order to distinguish the Five Mountains of Kamakura, they were called the Five Mountains of Kyoto.
The Wushan system was an attempt by the samurai shogunate to suppress the power of temples, and it worked very well.
However, the political power of the samurai shogunate has always been unstable, so the Wushan system actually quickly broke away from the shogunate's control.
The Wu family has a family structure, which divides the Ji warriors into three, six or nine grades, with orderly hierarchy.
The Buddhism in the island country follows the local customs and claims that all living beings are equal, but in fact it is appropriate to divide them into three, six or nine levels.
Therefore, Buddhism has a temple structure, and each sect’s headquarters and main temple must pay attention to the traces of its doors, and there must always be a way to describe the superior and inferior.
At that time, the Nichiren sect was very prosperous in Kyoto. The Tendai sect was jealous and asked the Nichiren sect's temples in Kyoto to downgrade them to their own branch temples and make offerings to Mount Hiei.
After being rejected by the Nichiren sect, the master of Mount Hiei went down the mountain to slay demons and slay all the Nichiren sects in Kyoto. From then on, the Nichiren sect was in ruins.
Although the Buddha Queen is usually very kind and compassionate, when faced with big issues of right and wrong, the Buddha Queen will also be angry and kill people without mercy.
The religious status of the Kamakura Five Mountains during the Ashikaga Shogunate period was still high. Despite the hundreds of years of chaos in Kanto, the Kamakura Five Mountains were aloof and powerful.
The Hojo family started from Izu Country, conquered Sagami Country, and laid their own foundation. The Kamakura Five Mountains are located on the Miura Peninsula of Sagami Country, and the geographical location is very important.
During the reign of Hojo Ujiyasu, a house governor with excellent internal affairs skills, she vigorously developed the Odawara Castle Castle Town and lobbied for the relocation of many Buddhist temples to the surroundings of Odawara Castle.
A new Buddhist force was formed around the temple in Odawara Castle, and the influence of Kamakura Gozan on Sagami Musashi was actually weakened a lot.
When Yoshigan went to inspect the countryside in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River and decided to establish the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, he set his sights on these wealthy temples.
Using the saint's prestige as an intermediary, the Wu Family Principles Promotion Association borrowed a large number of low-interest loans, which were used for local relief, for children to study abroad, etc. The biggest one was loans for water conservancy projects.
Using the increased land output after the water conservancy construction as collateral, the wealth stored in the temple for hundreds of years was released and became the main fund for water conservancy projects in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River.
Kamakura Gozan is a long-established temple force. They want to make money, but they also want to take care of their face, and they are unwilling to stand in front of the stage.
Therefore, the four Odawara Castle Shinji deputies, Myoanji Yushin, Sankoji Kamegumi, Muliangji Zhehuang, and Yorinji Kaixin, were responsible for the lending of the temple power and were in charge of the accounts.
As the diversion project of the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River entered a critical stage, the Wujia Giri Promotion Association became more and more emboldened, and even proposed a huge loan plan of 20 million koku over ten years.
The amount of funds mobilized by this plan is equivalent to the total land production of the entire island country in one year, which is as high as 20 million stone!
Miyoshi Seikai of the Sanada clan saw something was wrong and refused to let Sanada Nobushige get involved, so he did not hesitate to offend Ozo Changan.
Dazang Chang'an has been dazzled by the reality of the success, and she is really prepared to do this with her ambitions, but she doesn't know that her followers are gearing up and preparing to make a fortune.
In this carnival where everyone is getting rich, the key is the accounts held by the four nuns: Yu Xin of Miao'an Temple, Shanghui of Sanguang Temple, Zhehuang of Wuliang Temple, and Kaixin of Yanglin Temple.
The money and food will be credited to their accounts first, and then they will take these low-interest loans to Sakai Port and invest in stocks, real estate, and food stamps with Takada Haruno to earn more interest.
As for the Guandong side, the four nuns will tear down the east wall and repair the west wall so that there is no problem in the accounts. Then this large amount of funds can earn a large interest spread for everyone without knowing it.
The interest groups of the subordinates of the Kanto Palace had a very good idea and everything was taken care of. The money seemed to have been lying in the account, but in fact it went to Sakai Port.
When the interest and principal return to Kanto next year, wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to share the money together?
There is no need to get the money back, as long as the subsequent borrowing goes smoothly and the cash flow continues, the cost of the diversion project in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River can be maintained.
Why do those funds that have compounded interest in Sakai Port come back? More funds have to be transferred here to earn interest. Who would dislike having too much money?
As long as everyone works together, the top management will never know that the actual managers at the middle and lower levels have joined forces to benefit.
The lenders, managers, and supervisors all covered it up, so how could the higher-ups know about it? Mikami Momo was one of the participants.
What they fear most is not that the noble people above will find out on their own, but that upright people who are not involved in corruption in the operation of the entire system will expose this matter to the sky.
Miyoshi Sekai found out, but she chose to pretend not to know and wait for the opportunity to seek greater benefits for Sanada Nobunaga.
But idealists like Kito Yua... Mikami Momo is really scared...
Kito Yua thought Mikami Momo was just charging some money to open a back door for convenience.
If Yua Kito knew the truth, she would be honest enough to report it to the saint, which would cause big trouble.
Mikami Momo participated not only for money, but also to integrate into this circle.
She came from a humble background, finally gained the favor of a saint, and exchanged her life for her current position of power. She wants to keep it all!
The sage, the supreme ruler in the Kanto shrine system, is the one Mikami Momo must please and loyal to, but colleagues at the middle and lower levels who interact and work with each other must not be offended.
The middle and lower levels are intertwined, and the emerging interest groups that rely on the new system to make ends meet are the executors of the daily operation of the entire system.
Mikami Momo is eager to join them. Officials protect each other and stay close to each other, which is the way to be an official.
This is in the samurai society, where everyone who applies to join the United Front needs to be recommended, and the selection of Shiba also requires the recommendation of the Ji warriors in the three systems.
If you don't maintain relationships with the military exploits achieved through a narrow escape on the battlefield, it will be difficult to achieve success in the future.
Only when everyone is married to each other, takes care of each other, and has their interests combined, can they be integrated into the circle.
An upright fool like Yua Kito is not allowed to play with her at all. She doesn't know anything, she just knows how to be passionate and talk about the sky and the earth.
Mikami Momo let out a long sigh. She didn't know how long she could hide these things from Yuya Kito. She was really scared. She was so scared that she wanted to kill Yuya Kito now.
