But the problem is that the Tongxin people are too young. Everyone will feel angry when they see these little girls relying on the divine power of the saints to condescendingly suppress the local veterans of meritorious service.
This is not only a matter of face, but also a power struggle.
Power will only transfer, not disappear. When there is a power vacuum, someone will definitely fill it.
Just because local heroes are willing to give up part of their power and hand it back to the saints does not mean that they are happy to see those yellow-haired girls from Tongxinzhong filling this gap and squeezing their own power space.
This is the contradiction of human nature. It is against the people of the same mind, but not the saint. But if the saint does not rely on the people of the same mind, he will not be able to take back his power.
How many nails can one person drive? The saint also needs the emerging martial arts group to help him regain power.
Many seemingly solvable knots are still unable to extricate themselves because of the entanglement of human nature.
Lin Xinsheng shook his head and said.
"Leaving aside your reluctance, there is nothing you can do to resist the infiltration of Spoelstra.
As I just said in front of the sage, if the samurai family wants a way out, Shiba selects the best of the best, and Ji warriors flock to him.
Both the world's samurai families and the Shiba family's Ji warriors are all looking at Shiba's preparation.
If you block someone else's path to advancement, that is enmity. If you don't block it, the Tongxin Secretariat will penetrate deeper and deeper into the local area until the local area is unable to resist.
This is the principle of boiling a frog in warm water.
But once Spoelstra chooses to expand and restructure, it will be a different story."
Maeda Yoshiyoshi and Otani Yoshitsugi looked at each other. Both of them had serious eyes and were very interested in continuing to listen.
Glancing at the porch behind him, not far away was the courtyard where the saint was stationed, Maeda said with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, let's stop hanging around here and come to my place to have a good chat.
Otani-hime, please come and sit with us, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s chat together.”
Lin Xinsheng bowed his hands to show that guests were welcome, Otani Yoshitsugi smiled and bowed slightly, and the three of them walked together to Maeda Yoshi's residence.
This place is close to the saint's chariot, and there are many people on the left and right, so it is not a place for detailed discussion.
———
The three girls sat down indoors. Lin Xinsheng first asked something that made it difficult for him to settle down.
"Maeda-sama, do you think the saint is willing to follow my suggestions to improve Shiba selection?"
Maeda said with a smile.
"If I hadn't been convinced that the saint was moved by your words, I wouldn't have come to you in such a hurry to ask for punishment.
Although the saint is unparalleled in battle and invincible in the world, his temperament does not like to use swords too much. If your method can reduce the number of killings and unite the world and surrender to Si Bo, the saint will definitely be moved."
Lin Xinsheng was overjoyed and nodded.
"It's true. The saint is compassionate and can't bear the loss of life. Maeda-sama's words really opened my mind."
Maeda Yoshiyoshi had followed Shiba Yigen for a long time, and he understood the nature of the saint best. Lin Xinsheng was awakened by her words, and he instantly put aside his worries about gains and losses.
Shiba Yoshiyin is a man who is different from those old ladies like Samurai Ji who are murderous. He is very kind-hearted and soft-hearted.
In the view of the Wu family, this may not be an advantage, but the saint's character is recognized by everyone as noble, his reputation is strong, and he is beyond reproach.
If Sibo Selection could be used to bribe the martial arts families in the world and unify the world with less killing, other famous martial arts families might not be willing to spend this wasted money, but the saint would definitely be willing to give it a try.
As soon as his worries were gone, Lin Xinsheng was in a good mood. On the contrary, Maeda frowned.
"I brought you here because I want you to explain clearly why Spoelstra's selection and restructuring is beneficial to me.
It's better for you to ask me about it instead. It's really unreasonable! If you don't explain the right and wrong today, don't even think about walking out of this door again!"
Seeing Maeda pretending to be indignant, Lin Xinsheng laughed and bowed.
"I will not disappoint Lord Maeda, so today we will explain the reason behind this.
As Mr. Maeda said before, if Shiba's choice is not changed, you will have no way to resist the will of the saint. You can only be infiltrated and eaten away by the like-minded people little by little. Even if you are angry, there is nothing you can do.
Because Shiba Selection is the best way out for Samurai Ji, who doesn’t love hardcore crops? You can’t block other people’s path to advancement, right?
But if Sibo selects and reorganizes the system and targets martial arts families all over the world, the nature will be different.
Once Siba's selection, which was originally made up of three Siba's recommendation system for the samurai warriors, was changed to an open imperial examination for the whole country, it would inevitably face two problems.
First, how can we protect the interests of the Shiba family’s samurai from the restructuring of Shiba’s selection process?
The selection of Shiba was originally an internal promotion of the Shiba family. When Shiba established the military family, three of them recommended one, and the good news did not go to outsiders. If it were to be made open to the outside world, it would definitely hurt the interests of the Shiba retainers.
The saint is wise and will never fail to consider the sentiments of the Ji warriors within the Shiba family. He will definitely have some reservations and provide certain preferential policies internally.
No matter how this preferential policy is implemented, it will still have to be negotiated with the three places.
Compared with the current passive situation of letting Si Bo select unconditionally mixed with sand, no matter how it is changed in the future, powerful local martial artists will definitely have a proactive say.
As a big shot in the Kinki Shiba Territory, you can't let others lead you by the nose easily, so you have to bargain a bit, right?"
Maeda and Otani Yoshitsugi looked at each other and nodded.
Lin Xinsheng is right. The saint's governance has always been gentle, and there are few arbitrary and domineering measures like Oda Nobunaga.
Especially for internal affairs, we must find ways to reach the greatest possible consensus to avoid embarrassing disputes in the future.
Shiba's selection reform opened a gap to the outside world and allowed outsiders to participate in the examination. It must also be restricted to give certain preferential treatment to the Shiba family's samurai to eliminate dissatisfaction in the family.
Maeda asked.
"Mr. Lin, what kind of room for bargaining does the local government have?"
Lin Xinsheng smiled.
"The least likely way to arouse the resentment of saints is to restrict foreign warriors through household registration.
The financial pressure on Spoelstra's selection and restructuring is too great. It cannot be done in one step and directly facing the whole world. It must first be liberalized on a pilot basis.
If the three major Spurrings want to protect their own interests, the best way is to restrict the household registration of applicants. If local martial artists from non-three major Spurlings apply for the Splendid Selection, the number of admissions must be very small."
Maeda was stunned for a moment.
“What benefits does this bring to the local area by restricting household registration?
Now it is three-to-one, and the Shiba family eats up all the Shiba staff. After the restructuring, even if there are household registration restrictions for foreign samurai warriors, part of the admission quota will still be lost, and the local area will not be profitable."
Lin Xinsheng shook his head and said.
"Local governments can try to link real estate with household registration. I heard that Mr. Takada of Sakai Port is running Shiba Real Estate, which is also in full swing.
Lord Takada purchased land from the castle town of Kinki's Shiba Territory, and then sold it to the samurai warriors of the outer domain. He promised to protect their property rights and allow the purchasers who failed in the struggle to have a place to live in peace for the rest of their lives.
Since the Kinki Shiba Territory is willing to sell land through Lord Takada, why not simply sell the household registration on its own and pay a few quotas for each Shiba selection to give the wealthy Waihan Princess samurai a shortcut to the south.
The martial arts families of foreign vassals who have been admitted to the establishment will naturally be tightly tied to the Sibo territory where their household registration is. Even if the same people want to use them to infiltrate the place, the effect will be very poor.
Because the interests of these people have been deeply tied up in the local area, they have to rely on real estate to support themselves and take real estate exams. How can they work together with the same people to deal with their own people in the local area?
As for the amount of household registration sold, it is better to learn Takada-sama's auction method, increase local income as much as possible, subsidize Shiba's own martial arts family, and alleviate the dissatisfaction caused by Shiba's selection and reform.
I believe that saints will also understand and support this approach of reducing conflicts and frictions."
Maeda nodded slowly while thinking.
User registration is bound to real estate, which means it is bound to local education and pension rights. Coupled with the benefits compiled by Sibo, the long-term benefits are huge.
The bound Hime Samurai naturally has to consider more about the future, and cannot just follow the Kamou Clan and turn around to deal with other places in a hot head.
Even if Ji Ji doesn't think about himself, he still has to consider the education and pension of the next generation. Naturally, he will subconsciously consider the interests of the local area and will not be led by the same-minded group.
From a saint's point of view, household registration bundling can bring more income to the local government, subsidize the local military families in Sibo who have suffered losses due to Sibo's selection, and alleviate their dissatisfaction.
As for those who bought household registrations, they hoped that it would be easier for them to pass the Sibo selection and be admitted to the Sibo establishment. Naturally, these foreign warriors had rich families and did not care about spending more money on food and services.
Saints, Spur leaders, and outsiders have all benefited, and all three parties will be satisfied. It can be called a win-win-win situation.
Maeda couldn't help but applaud.
"It is indeed a good idea to exchange household registration for qualifications.
So, what about the second one?”
Lin Xinsheng smiled.
"Secondly, it is your personal advantage.
