side: Kuyuan Yima

A week passed after the martial arts tournament. This day I come to Chingzhou Castle to sum up the tournament.

"As for the impact of the Games, the amount of money and goods flowing within the territory has definitely increased. Throughout, it was expensive, but the funding mechanism from the merchants was also successful. And the operation of the martial arts tournament lottery is also profitable. This fiscal year, we recorded significant spending on building stadiums and so on, but if we continue beyond next year, we will likely see an improvement in revenue and expenditure."

It is my job to read the report that Elle has prepared for me at the ratings table. This is the first time this year, so the simple balance of payments has been in deficit for some time, such as the construction of a stadium.

However, the sponsorship system and the martial arts tournament lottery are generally successful.

Did the merchants who funded it as sponsors sell their names? It seems that there are many places where merchants have been flourishing since the tournament ended. Well, this one needs to identify the impact in the long run, but it won't be bad as it stands. It also benefits the merchants who funded it. It is possible that there will be more merchants to fund us next year.

The martial arts tournament lottery is a public gamble managed by us under the name of Oda, so there is no way to fail. Naturally, this revenue has been used as a nominal collection for embankment work on the river's decimation spot in the vicinity of Qingzhou.

As for embankment work, work is scheduled to begin shortly in order to show visible results to the residents as soon as possible.

If you look at it in terms of economy, it would be a plus in this era, even if only money came out to the people for what they spent. The temporary decommissioning of the customs office was also highly effective.

However, Elle said that it would be necessary to send another source of financial resources to the Chinese people and temples in order to abolish the permanent establishment.

And they also need to improve agricultural productivity. As things stand, crops are often not harvested enough to be sold, and only a few stoppages of checkpoints a year are sufficient.

"Did you connect after next year by gambling and letting the merchants give you money? Good. You've come up with a new mechanism."

"Those two things are looking ahead. Especially since it costs a huge amount of money to cure water in the territory. Because we need stable financial resources that are sustainable."

Ohashi generally understands Shin-soo and Jing-su, but I think more than half of the rated people pretend to understand.

However, they understood that the tournament and the martial arts tournament lottery were a financial resource for water curing works. From next year onwards, the Oda family can hold it without a huge burden, and the martial arts tournament will continue if they think that water curing works will proceed every year.

Shin-soo himself seems to have liked the financial resources of the new mechanism. Because curing water is a difficult task for the rulers of this era.

I want to prevent flooding first to stabilize taxes, but water remediation, which costs huge sums of money, is not a very good business.

"On the outside, they wonder if I can say it's a great success. Harmony with Mino was established on this occasion. The guardian of Mino seems to be somewhat dissatisfied, but the guardian of Saitoyama Castle was pleased with harmony."

Following the summary of my tournament management, Mr. Jing Soo gave a diplomatic report.

Prestige can also be weighed in this era. The fame of the Spur and Oda families in resolving Mino's problems in harmony may be worth more than the money spent. Because the Swamp and Oda families were able to demonstrate internally and externally that they were capable of mediating problems.

Besides, the establishment of harmony with Mino, which was a matter of concern, made it very unlikely that he would be forced to operate on the two fronts of Mikawa and Mino.

When we talked about Mino's guardianship, the air kind of dominated him.

Yes, yes, the petition certificate temple in Long Island had shown interest in the exhibition. He said he would definitely want to participate if he had the next one.

By the way, the temple in Qingzhou is active in hosting residents from all over the country, not many of them, but there seems to have been a gratuitous drop in, and this one has not reacted badly.

You asked the temple to stay in the residents gathered from afar. There are not enough cages in Qingzhou.

It makes sense to participate in it. They won't be funny either if you toss them here. We all need to do it because it's a festival.

"That's fine, but didn't Lord Kuyuan spend a lot of money?

"Yeah. Well. But if the inhabitants had money, they would buy our goods. We can do more business than ever before, so in the long run it's profitable."

Everyone's expression is bright. Some people are talking about joining us next year.

It was surprisingly Shin An who worried about our situation.

In addition to the general behavior of liquor and cooking, you also said that fireworks would cost us this time.

"I see. That's what you think."

"If the people are rich, the merchants will make money, and the tax will make the martial family rich."

Everyone is watching Xin 'an nodding like he was impressed. I guess the rest of us care about our interests.

"Think about it and you'll see. Sakanachi and the capital of Kyou will be strong and great for their wealth."

"I didn't know we were going to collect wealth instead of dominating where it is..."

You don't have to explain it in so much detail, but they just generally understood what we were after.

I'm sure there's a reason to go for Kichinai or the capital of Kyoto because it governs the heavens, but I guess it's also because Kichinai is advanced and wealthy.

It would be helpful if people who don't really interact with us understood the intentions. It's a little itchy to be seen with a very impressive eye.

"Shinsuke Hall. What do you say?"

When I return to Naguno's mansion after my reputation, I call Mr. Ishikusai with Elle and Ceres. After the martial arts tournament, you spoke to Ishikusai about whether he would officially work for us. Inside.

I don't know if I can do this, but even if I keep my mouth shut, I'll hear voices from everywhere. I often do arches with Mr. Ishikusai, Ceres. Because he says he might be able to get an introduction.

"My father is alive and well for the awkward, and his possession is in Yamato. I don't have any brothers, and all of this is where the awkward have to inherit. So I can't serve you..."

"Well, how about until you succeed? You can inherit it when the time comes. You can go on a journey around the country, or you can work for me when you get back to Oozhong."

Is it still difficult for the commissioner? I guess that's what it is to have ancestral possessions.

It's just nothing. You don't have to serve us all your life. From the values of the original world. I hope you'll work for us until you take over the family business. Can't you still do that?

"Exactly that..."

"Because I don't make it bad. The time has come for Shinsuke's sword to come into play. If I find a better Lord, I won't stop serving you."

"I didn't expect you to say that much. You're an awkward loser. Best regards"

Whoa! Yanagi Ishikusai, get it! Mr. Ishikusai has about twenty ministers with him, but they are all young and swordy.

You have a heavy responsibility to serve your whole life, and sooner or later it's enough to put you back home. I often showed trouble, but laughing like I had lost my roots was supposed to work for me.

"Then I'll pierce Loch a hundred pieces. Nice to meet you."

"Hundred Pieces!?

Loch is fine with a hundred pieces for now, right? The Takigawa family made it a hundred pieces each at first. It's good because I'm surprised and it doesn't feel like it's enough.

"Sir. Tsukahara-sama's case..."

"It was. Because I asked you to be able to work with Lord Tsukahara. It's just an archery."

Elle pointed me out where the story came from and I remembered. Takeshi Tsukahara is still staying at Chingzhou Castle and seems to be in Oozhou for a while, so you asked Ishikusai and our young people to do the archery.

They don't really welcome the battle for the purpose of selling names, but Ishikusai took on the game happily because he wanted to watch it at the martial arts tournament.

"Ha, thank you!

I hear you're purely happy with this story. The expression clearly changed. Maybe you want to test your powers.

I don't know when Mr. Ishikusai will succeed the governor, but will this work for about ten years?

Looking forward to seeing what happens.
