Chapter 2047 Fighting for the right to final interpretation
As the saying goes, it is good to get people's money and eliminate disasters with them.
The big bosses of all parties have obtained the business talents that Takada Harano has accumulated for ten years. Naturally, this benefit is not for nothing.
On the one hand, the Takada family can make some money through these old branches that infiltrate various religious systems.
More importantly, as the internal affairs system of Shiba gradually becomes formalized, the priests responsible for specific administrative affairs in various places can provide convenience to the new Shinto religion.
Takada Yono smiled.
"As you all know, the sage ordered me to rebuild the Shinto and worship Bishamonten, the guardian deity of the samurai family.
The Takada family will give everything they have and spend all their wealth for their faith, including this Shinsengumi mansion.
After the Sage's reform and restructuring, the business of Sakai Port was handed over to Lord Shang Xingzang Chang'an. There is no need for the Shinsengumi and I to stay here any longer.
The main sacred mountain of New Shintoism is Tamon Mountain Castle, and shrines in various places will be built one after another, requiring building materials, craftsmen, and guards.
I intend to reorganize the Shinsengumi into a divine guard to protect the safety of the shrine. I also hope that you can help me and make suggestions for the saint to ascend to the gods and build a shrine.
please!"
Takada Yono bowed cautiously, and the four ministers bowed in return, expressing their stance one by one.
Dazang Changan said.
"Sir, what are you saying? The saint's benevolence has blessed the world, and the reopening of the Bishamonten Shinto is a great joy for the whole world. As ministers and believers, we have no shirk in our duties.
Please rest assured that Sakai Port will definitely provide full support for the funds and craftsmen needed for the shrine, and I believe that Mr. Ohkuma Asahide of the Kanto Shrine will not be content with others."
After receiving the big red envelope from Takada Haruno and An Xin transferring the settlement system of Shiba's food stamps, Ozo Changan breathed a sigh of relief. Of course she wanted to reciprocate the favor at this moment, but she also kept it in mind.
Sakai Port will definitely contribute money and effort, and the Kanto side should not think of giving less.
Ozo Changan and Okuma Chaohide had a fierce fight in Kanto. She was kicked out of the high position of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, and Okuma Chaohide also played a role.
At this time, the two sides each adhered to the liquidation system of the Kinki and Kanto sides, so they were naturally at odds with each other and could not make their opponents comfortable.
Hanzawa Naoyi thought for a while and said.
"It is the duty of an honest government to hate evil as much as it is to support justice. I guarantee that the construction of the shrine will not be harassed by local gangsters. If there is any local martial arts that is unjust and unjust, the honest government should deal with it according to the law."
When it comes to money, everyone in the clean government doesn't have it. Even if they do, they don't dare to show it. Otherwise, how can they demonstrate justice and preside over the work of a clean government if they are covered in copper odor?
However, it is the duty of the Integrity Public to supervise Shiba officials and local samurai. If local gangsters want to cause trouble for the New Shinto Church, the Integrity Public will naturally deal with them.
Honda Masanobu rolled his eyes and said.
"New Shintoism enshrines saints as a matter of great justice. All relevant procedures should be simplified and no delays should be allowed. The central government should give priority to archiving and deal with matters in a priority and urgent manner."
If the procedure is fair and the question is stuck, you will definitely become rich and powerful. Maybe in the future, a small director will be able to ask the king to wait at the door to get his seal and signature.
But the biggest fear in everything is comparison. No matter how strong the local samurai family is, they can always pretend to control it, but the New Shinto Religion, which is closely related to the overall layout of the world, can only be signed by the Institute of Information.
Ishida Mitsunari hesitated and asked.
"Has Takada Haruno-sama discussed with the saint the treatment of priests and shrine maidens related to the New Shinto Religion? Is it similar to Shiba Yishi?"
Takada Yono smiled.
"I have already submitted the proposed document regarding the affiliation of New Shinto personnel to the Tongxin Secretariat.
I also hope that the saint will give Shiba the organization. After all, the Hime Samurai is the same as the priest and shrine maiden. Everyone works for the saint. You can't favor one over the other, which will upset people's hearts."
??????55.??????
Ishida Mitsunari nodded.
"In this case, I will make a budget for the staffing of priests and witches and submit it to the Tongxin Secretariat. It is better to prepare for a rainy day. You can't fight an uncertain battle."
Takada Yono smiled and nodded.
It is inevitable for the managers of the New Shinto Church to join Shiba's establishment. Ishida Mitsunari is doing this knowingly. She has benefited from it, so she will naturally make the establishment bigger.
The Shibachu Fund didn't open its mouth. Naomasa Ii's stubbornness must have blocked the establishment and would not give more.
But Ishida Mitsunari took the initiative to prepare the budget, and Ii Naomasa could not say much. After all, she was not a professional, and a saint must listen to professional opinions.
Takada Yono and Ishida Mitsunari worked together to convince the sage that the Shiba organization obtained by the New Shinto Church must be much looser, and it would be easier to do things with more people.
The four people's statements did not surprise Takada Harano, and she thanked them one by one, feeling confident.
After Takada Haruno left Sakai Port, the Shinsengumi no longer had the need to exist. Naturally, the vicious eagle dogs like the Mibu wolves had to be taken away. It would be best to reorganize the divine guards and become the minions of the new Shinto religion.
Religious struggle is not just a game of house, it is even a more cruel death game than political struggle.
There are still compromises in politics, and religion has always been a matter of life and death, black and white, and there is no ambiguity in faith.
Since Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogunate of the Ashikaga Shogunate, overthrew the Emperor's court and eradicated Shintoism, Buddhism was the only one left in the cultural and religious fields of the island country.
After absorbing the baptism of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty and Buddhism in the Song Dynasty, the Buddhist elites also continued to deepen the insularization of Buddhism.
Emerging Buddhisms such as Pure Land Buddhism and Nichiren Buddhism all chose to take the bottom line and began their own path to prosperity.
Unlike the old sects such as the Tendai Sect and the Shingon Sect, which rely on the upper-level line, the new sects have clear and simple doctrines and a strong mass base.
The Jodo Shinshu, the Yixiang sect, which splintered off the Pure Land sect, is the leader among them. It has always caused headaches for the samurai family, and even once became the largest sect in Buddhism, comparable to the daimyo.
However, two hundred years of comfort have also caused the Buddhist sect to deteriorate deeply, and its combat effectiveness is worrying.
The Nanman religion came from the sea and relied on Nanman trade to take root in Kyushu in just a few decades, even invading Kinki.
If it weren't for the fanatical resistance of the Ichigo clan and the blocking of the Nanman Sect on the Settsu front line, the Taoist priests in Kyoto, Nara and other places would have panicked.
Nowadays, the Ichiko clan has been crippled by the Oda family, and Honnoji Temple appears to have moved to Kii Kokutoku, so the Buddhist sect can only turn to the saint for protection and take the initiative to promote the saint to the altar.
Bishamonten is the name of the Buddhist Tao Wen Tian King in the island country. This is a Buddhist protector god.
If Takada Yono wants to intervene in the religious dispute, the best starting point is to increase the Shinto attributes of Bishamonten and weaken the Buddhist attributes.
For the Shiba family, the saint is the descendant of Bishamonten and is the patron saint of the samurai family.
It's okay if Buddhism wants to gain some benefits, but if the Buddhist sect monopolizes the religious interpretation rights of Bishamonten, it may be in big trouble in the future.
Great justice can only be in the hands of the Goddess. Although the theory of Bishamonten's descent was first proposed by various Buddhist sects, the final right of interpretation must belong to the Shiba Goddess group.
This is the biggest reason why the saint supports Takada Haruno in rebuilding the New Shintoism, and it is also the direction that Takada Haruno needs to work hard.
