Hearing what Akechi Mitsuhide meant, Honda Masanobu became more and more entangled. Akechi Mitsuhide made it clear that he was treating her as a flying brick to smash the paper windows of Takada Harano's house.
Takada Yono established the Hokurikudo trade route single-handedly, and there must have been many secret things that he did not want outsiders to know about. For example, dividends and share increases, exchanges of interests, and perhaps many more excessive things.
Takada Haruno didn't want Nizi Katsuhisa to know, but he just didn't want to expose these unflattering things to the Shiba retainers.
She can bring together forces with different interests from all over the world, and sit side by side at the dining table on the Hokuriku Road trade route. There must be some shady behind-the-scenes operations.
The research institute that Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to establish was obviously modeled after the research institute of the Ashikaga Shogunate.
Ashikaga Shogun established a research office to record various files as evidence for arbitrating disputes around the world, the most important of which were contracts between people and land, and family status.
The inquiry office run by Akechi Mitsuhide is naturally not as high-end as the Ashikaga Shogunate's inquiry office. It only stores the accounts of the Shiba family's business transactions over the years.
The person who asked this question was actually the administrator of the commercial archives room. He didn't have much power, but he was in a lot of trouble.
Takada Haruno's Hokurikudo Trading Route and Ishida Mitsunari's Shibachu Fund are business platforms that make money every day. How can there be no tricks?
The Integrity Committee set up by the Sibo Yi Bank is only used for internal anti-corruption, and it deals with middle- and lower-level practitioners who are privately corrupt.
When they reach the positions of Takada Haruno and Ishida Mitsunari, they don't need to corrupt at all, because the rules are set by them.
Do football referees need to score goals?
They only need to follow the rules and get the maximum benefit from the procedures.
Now, Mitsuhide Akechi's project is to install surveillance cameras on the heads of referees. By watching the replays, we can trace whether their decisions are reasonable and whether there are any loopholes in the rules.
Although the Wenzhu archives are just a bunch of accounts from previous years, they may also be a bunch of hidden dangers.
As long as you do something, you will definitely make mistakes. People who never make mistakes must be messing around.
Takada Haruno was able to quickly establish the Hokurikudo trade route. It must be that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters and do many taboo things in private, so as to quickly expand this platform.
Now that the Hokuriku Dou Trade Route is in the development stage, the Shiba Retainers Group needs Takada Haruno to rapidly develop and expand this platform, so they don't care about anything.
However, if the development of the Hokuriku Dou trade route enters a bottleneck period in the future, and someone in Shiba's retainers wants to kill the donkey, these accounts will probably be the best evidence to trip up Takada Haruno.
No one is checking her past affairs, so naturally everything is fine and there are no faults. But once someone finds fault, how many people in power in this world can withstand careful scrutiny?
Akechi Mitsuhide deliberately asked for the establishment of an interrogation method to prepare for future commercial and economic policy adjustments. This sounds right. But if you think about it carefully, something is wrong.
Under what circumstances do business and economic policies need to be adjusted? It must be that the policy fails to meet expectations, or there is a problem during operation.
When it's time to check the files and calculate the general ledger, a lot of problems can be revealed by searching according to the diagram, which may directly bury Takada Haruno.
If Masanobu Honda were to become this seemingly insignificant, but actually extremely threatening to Harano Takada, she didn't think she could survive for long.
Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents. Takada Haruno's biggest thing is money, and Sakai Port has no shortage of money-hungry desperadoes.
What's more, the Hokuriku Road Trading Route and the Shibachu Foundation worked closely together. If the carrots were pulled out and the mud was brought out, Ishida Mitsunari would not sit still and wait for death. Honda Masanobu was destined to die without a chance to survive.
Seeing Honda Masanobu's hesitation, Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and said sincerely.
"Honda-hime, it's been three years since you left Mikawa Country, right?"
Honda Masanobu was stunned and sighed.
"As of this summer, exactly three years."
Three years ago, Lord Mikawa had just come to power, and he launched a new round of Ichikaku with high spirits. As a result, Mikawa Ichikaku broke out and almost overturned Tokugawa Ieyasu's rule.
With the assistance of Maeda Toshiie's reinforcements sent by Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu quickly suppressed the Ichiki in Mikawa, but he still had lingering fears.
She mainly tried to appease him at the time, but after taking control of the situation, she quickly turned against him.
The Ichiko sect temple in Mikawa Kingdom was asked to convert. The Tokugawa Iehime samurai who believed in Ichiko sect must convert, otherwise he would be expelled from Mikawa Kingdom.
Honda Masanobu was unwilling to change his faith, so he was forced to leave Mikawa Country and wandered to Koji.
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and sighed.
“Life is short, how many three years can we have?
Honda-hime, you are a smart person, and I don’t want to talk nonsense. Things are expensive when you leave your hometown, but people are cheap when you leave your hometown. You should have a deep understanding, right?
You are very smart, but there is no shortage of talented people in the world. What is most lacking is opportunities."
Honda Masanobu lowered his head and pretended to be listening attentively, but his heart was filled with hatred.
Of course she understands that she is a wanderer, lonely and helpless these days, and must find a backer and a way out.
The islanders are xenophobic, and they always have to mix in groups. Lonely individuals will not live long.
Honda Masanobu persisted in his faith and was forced to leave the Mikawa Kingdom. He used the connections of the Ichigo clan to serve as an envoy to the Matsunaga family on behalf of Kenyoshou. He showed himself to the Matsunaga family and was appreciated and allowed to serve as an official.
Originally, she could use her talents to work hard in the Matsunaga family, and in the end she might be able to assume the identity of a family member, which would be considered a decent ending.
But it happened that the Akechi Mitsuhide in front of her used intelligence to seduce her into misjudgment. In the end, she was trapped in the mud and was forced to betray Matsunaga Hide's mother and daughter.
Now she is following Akechi Mitsuhide, specializing in doing dark and dirty things. As long as there is a way out, who would want to live such a precarious life?
Sitting next to him, Fujibayashi Mukuro also obeyed Mitsuhide Akechi, but he was the leader of the Ninjas with a formal Shiba establishment. He had hard-core crops on his back, held a Shiba Welfare, and had no worries about food and clothing.
Where is Honda Masanobu? She was just a temporary worker brought back by Mitsuhide Akechi under coercion and inducement. She might be killed and silenced one day and her body abandoned in the wilderness.
Masanobu Honda claims to be extremely intelligent, but her actual status is not as good as Fujibayashi Mukuro, who is a member of the ninja community. It is really annoying to think about the comparison between people.
Honda was confident that she was not in the mood to guess Mitsuhide Akechi's meaning, so she bowed and said.
"This subordinate is stupid, please enlighten me sir."
Seeing that Honda Masanobu's melancholy thoughts were lifted by him, Akechi Mitsuhide stopped going around in circles and spoke directly.
"Today's Shiba family is not the Shiba clan of yesteryear, but a new family business rebuilt by Tsutado-den himself.
At that time, Kinji Spurry had just been established, and many of the plans in the initial stage were quite rough. Tsutaden went to Kanto, and there was no time to carefully perfect the laws.
Today, many affairs are actually out of the control of Tsutama Hall. The important ministers of the Shiba family have been autonomous for too long, and they have already become entrenched in one side and have their own way.
There is no rule without rules. Tsudoden seemed to be aware of this problem, so he set out to establish the Tongxin Secretariat and build a central management system to check and balance local forces.
As the core link connecting the common interests of the three Shiba leaders, the Hokurikudo Trading Route and the Shiba Tadashi Fund are so important to the Shiba family that they must be strictly supervised.
The establishment of the Inquiry Center is not a personal grudge between me and Takata Harano and Ishida Mitsunari, but out of public interest. Even if I don't do it today, Tsutama Hall will do it in the future.
It is not enough for Tsutado-den to arrange for the integrity of the Shiba Tadashi Foundation. As the source of commercial profits, the Hokurikudo trade route must be included in the actual control of the Shiba family and cannot be the sole responsibility of Takada Haruno.
Nizi Katsuhisa will definitely support my proposal, and Takada Haruno and Ishida Mitsunari should understand the importance. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not dare to hinder the Shiba family's summary and archiving of Shiba's business.
Since this matter is my suggestion, I recommend you to take charge of the investigation, and Tsudo-den will also approve it.
After all, it's not a position that holds real power, it's just a job of managing documents.
However, this is an excellent opportunity for you, Honda Ji, to officially join the Shiba family system."
Honda Masanobu twitched his brows and asked.
"You mean to ask whether Fang Fantou was organized by Si Bo?"
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.
"Of course, although the Inquirer is only responsible for managing the archives, after all, he holds the most important business information of the Shiba family in one hand, and Tsudo-don will not take it lightly.
Because this matter was proposed by me, Tsudoden should give me face and let you take the responsibility, instead of sending another person from the Tongxin Secretariat to take up the position of head.
However, due to the importance of this position itself, the Kamao Clan of the Tongxin Secretariat will definitely give priority to the Shiba selection and give you, who is interested in Fang Bantou, a Shiba establishment.
But if this is the case, you will need to go to Tongxinzhong for a period of time to complete the three months of training required for Spo selection.
I believe that with your talents, you will definitely shine among the newcomers in Tongxin and let Jinduo Palace recognize your abilities."
Honda Masanobu was stunned on the spot.
She didn't expect that Akechi Mitsuhide really wanted to promote her, instead of always sending her to do some shameful things like before. No matter how she looked at the future, she would end up being silenced.
But this time, Mitsuhide Akechi officially recommended her as a newcomer to Shiba Selection. If Yoshihiro Shiba acquiesces her to take up the position of head of the interrogation department, it seems that her future will be really bright.
The selection method of Shiba selection has been distributed to various places, and the Kamao clan village has been scolded by the people below. The threshold of Shiba selection is so tight that many people have stopped thinking about sneaking in to enjoy welfare.
Honda Masanobu was selected through the post of Inquiry Head, so he will definitely be taken seriously by the Kamo Clan and even Shiba Yiyin. As long as he performs well, he may have a great future and can show his ambitions.
She hesitated for a moment, then immediately kowtowed to the ground.
"I can never repay you for your great kindness, Lord Mingzhi. Thank you very much."
Akechi Mitsuhide waved her hand to get up and smiled.
"I ruined your career in the Matsunaga family, and now I'm giving you a future in the Shiba family. Are you satisfied?"
