Chapter 1950 Take a step back and the sky will be brighter
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu overthrew the imperial court, massacred the emperor and ministers, and uprooted Shintoism, which represented the emperor's orthodoxy.
With the collapse of Shintoism, Buddhism has become the only mainstream culture in the island country. It has been two hundred years since it has completely monopolized the island country's humanistic thoughts.
It was the Tendai sect that first promoted the identity of Shiba Yigen as a living god. Later, mainstream Buddhist sects such as the Shingon sect, the Ichixiang sect, and the Rinzai sect followed in singing praises, and gradually became the consensus of the world.
The disfavor of the people seems to be illusory, but it actually consumes a lot of hidden costs of rule. The Sibo family has received huge benefits from the matter of the divine descendants, but there are also hidden dangers.
If one day the Sibo family loses its reputation, will these Buddhist sects who sit on the fence refuse to praise the Sibo god descendants, or switch to others, in turn threatening the legitimacy of the Sibo god descendants?
Therefore, in order to stabilize the rule of the Shiba regime, the foundation of Shiba's descendants must not be placed in the hands of the nuns of the Buddhist sect. Shintoism must be rebuilt and the right to interpret religious beliefs must be regained.
In Yukino's view, instead of earning this hard-earned money in Sakai Port, taking huge financial risks, and doing thankless and stupid things, Yono would be better off using this opportunity to engage in Shintoism.
On the one hand, when Shinto was first established, it was necessary to communicate a lot with the saints, so that they could be obedient, accept the seed, and give birth to a divine descendant for the Takada family.
On the other hand, in the ancient society of the island country, the status of magicians was much higher than that of merchants, which was also beneficial to the future of the Takada family.
Yukino showed a serious expression to Yangno and said slowly.
"It's not that the Shiba family wants to rebuild Shintoism, but that we sisters love the living God and long for more people to join us, follow us to believe in him, love him, and follow his footsteps forever."
It was rare to see Yukino with a serious face, and Yangno couldn't help but laugh.
"So although the material foundation is important, we cannot relax in the construction of spiritual civilization, right?
You put it lightly, but have you ever thought about how much manpower and material resources are needed to rebuild Shintoism? This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Controlling people's thoughts is such a simple thing, and I may not even be able to accomplish it even if I try to do it in my lifetime."
Yukino made a decisive move.
"Then use your whole life to accomplish this feat. I will become the sword in your hand and kill all the evildoers who are unwilling to believe in the true God!
My sister has been operating in Sakai Port for ten years, so manpower and material resources are not a problem for you!"
Yang Nai chuckled.
"You just said you wanted me to give up the foundation of Sakai Port, what? Now you changed your mind?"
Xueno said coldly.
"Businessmen don't have to do it, but the people and money needed to build Shintoism are naturally needed."
Yang Nai spread his hands and sighed.
"You have finished saying both good and bad things. What do you want me to do?"
Yukino asked.
"Sister, do you think Dazang Chang'an can stabilize the food stamp system and replace you?"
Yang Nai sneered.
"Of course it's impossible.
Dazang Changan thought that he could take away my power by raising funds from Kanto and quelling the run. That was a daydream.
How can business be so easy to do?
I spent ten years dealing with the merchants of Sakai Port and Kyoto, and reached an agreement with the famous nobles, local samurai families, and sectarian forces behind them.
In addition to the profit distribution of the countries along the Hokuriku Road, the interests of Naozu and even Kanto capital are implicated, and the relationship is more than inextricable.
The Shiba family has always only accounted for 30% of the interest in Hokurikudo Trading Company stocks, and the investors in Shiba Real Estate come from many sources, each with their own backgrounds.
Only the Shiba Tucang belongs entirely to the Shiba family, but it is just a liquidation system, a tool for distributing profits and dividends to all shareholders.
Want to sit in my seat? She, Dazang Changan, will first deal with these shareholders, big and small, and win their trust."
This is where Yangno's confidence lies.
As long as the Saint does not give up on the food stamp system and the Shiba family does their best to raise funds to rescue the market and reverse the collapse of the food stamps, then Yangno will still be the best collaborator in the eyes of all parties.
In ten years, Yono went from being alone to Sakai Port to deceive Imai Munehisa, using both soft and hard tactics, and developed the world-famous Shiba food stamps, raised four million koku for military expenses, and became famous in one fell swoop.
The name of Takada Haruno in Shiba Ka Town is resounding, and it is not something that others are willing to believe in as a substitute for cats and dogs.
Regardless of Yangno's current predicament, once the Shiba family tries their best to save the market and the food stamp system turns a corner, those investors will still only recognize Yangno as an insider and one of their own who has worked with him for ten years.
No one would joke about real money. How can Dazang Changan compare with Takada Haruna? Just a piece of appointment from a saint cannot dispel the doubts of investors and cannot build their trust.
Looking at Yangono who looked proud, Yukino said lightly.
"Since Dazang Chang'an is definitely not possible, then what is sister struggling with?
Take a step back and the sky will be brighter.
Since the saint is worried about you, then you should be obedient and let others try.
If you don't give it a try, how can others give up? Instead of guarding against open and covert attacks, it's better to give others a chance to hit a wall.
If you don't give it a try, how will the saint know how hard you have worked all these years, how hard you have worked for him, and how much effort you have put in."
Yangono hissed thoughtfully, but what Yukino said was so reasonable that she was speechless.
Yukino continued to speak calmly.
"My sister took a big step back today in order to take a big step forward tomorrow.
The food stamp system cannot be separated from my sister, so let others take the blame. When others have to ask for help from my sister, the conditions will be whatever I want.
By that time, if people are needed and money is needed, the construction of the new Shinto religion will naturally be in full swing, progressing by leaps and bounds."
Yang Nai's expression was uncertain, but he finally let go of his worries and smiled freely.
"What you say makes sense. I have been in business for ten years and I have long been tired of the smell of copper.
That's all. If anyone is willing to suffer for me, just take over.
You and I, sisters, will run the new Shinto religion well from now on, and sing praises to the descendants of the saints and gods for generations to come, so that our lives will not be wasted."
Seeing that her sister finally understood, Yukino showed a heartfelt smile on her indifferent face and sang softly.
"I once walked forward in confusion, on the dark night road...flying together, newly created people."
Yang Nai turned his head to listen and said.
"It's a good hymn. You can try to use it in new Shinto rituals, but this new creation is too transgressive.
All living beings, like ants, are not qualified to create human beings for saints. Only lucky people like you and me are qualified to ascend the holy bed.
It’s better to change this last sentence to a new life.”
Yukino nodded.
"It's up to you, as long as my sister is happy."
Yang Na looked at the sky outside the house, and the depression that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time seemed to dissipate at this moment, and chuckled.
"Happy, I'm naturally happy.
The person I admire is a being that is more dazzling than the sun. I will spend my whole life spreading his greatness and praising my light within the light."
