Naomasa Ii bowed.
"I only have your Majesty in my heart, and I will not allow anyone to destroy the family business you have worked so hard to create.
As for what other people want to say, let them say it, I don't care! "
Seeing that the child was still as stubborn as ever and had not changed in several years, Yiyin could only sigh and said.
"I'm too lazy to talk about your bad temper."
Naomasa Ii said again.
"Besides, I think the inquiry side has great potential and is not a dispensable marginal department. Of course, elites must be dispatched to strictly manage it."
Yi Gin glanced at Ii Naomasa and felt a little pain in his forehead, and couldn't help but rub his temples with his fingers.
"What do you want to do again?"
Ii Naomasa glanced at Tokusatsu Kamematsu, and Yoshigami waved his hand, asking them to leave first.
After the two little lolita bowed and retreated, Ii Naomasa said solemnly.
"Your Majesty has appointed me to take charge of the supervisory duties of the Tongxin Secretariat, and I will devote myself to sharing your worries.
However, the relevant financial information is unclear, and various local governments are involved in various activities, each doing its own thing. This makes me sleepless at night, lest I fail to live up to your Majesty's trust. "
Yiyin thought deeply.
"It's not your fault.
The restoration of the Sibo family was too short. In order to achieve quick results, I did many things for quick success and quick success, which indeed left a lot of trouble.
But now, the rules at home have begun to be improved, and supervision and management have also been put on the agenda. You don't have to be too anxious, everything will be fine. "
Naomasa Ii bowed and said.
"I dare not agree with what my superior said. I am sailing against the current. If I don't advance, I will retreat. I have always only strived for excellence. How can there be any good thing in waiting for the situation to improve?
Since ancient times, wealth has attracted people's hearts. The Hokuriku Road trade route contains millions of dollars in profits. How many people can withstand this temptation?
It is difficult to curb people's greed by relying solely on the clean government of the Shibachu Foundation and the Kanto Service Office. Only by establishing a unified and effective supervision system can people be in awe and retreat when faced with difficulties. "
Naomasa Ii's advice was very convincing, and Yoshihiro was also touched.
The Hokuriku Road trade route was established step by step when he was in Kanto. At the beginning, there were loopholes everywhere.
In the current supervision system, the Integrity Committee of Yui Ubihama is responsible for the data collection of the Shiba Tadashi Fund, and the Integrity Committee of Hasegawa Nagatsuna is responsible for the data collection of the Kanto Shrine Agency.
These stored data are regularly audited and checked by the supervision department of the Tongxin Secretariat headed by Naomasa Ii.
Obviously, Naomasa Ii feels that this system is too simple and has too many loopholes, which is not conducive to deterring those with evil intentions.
After all, the Hokuriku Road Trade Road is a big gold mine. If someone can bypass supervision, a few digs can be enough for the whole family to feed and drink for several lifetimes.
Human nature cannot stand the test. Naomasa Ii is right. Only a strong supervision system can curb people's greed.
Yiyin sighed and said.
"Tell me what you think."
Naomasa Ii bowed.
"Master Akechi Mitsuhide proposed the formation of the Inquiry Party because he was probably worried about the supervision of the Hokuriku Road trade route, so he wanted to prepare for a rainy day.
Your Majesty, General Honda Masanobu, promoted him and granted him the rank of Shiba. Presumably, he also approved Akechi Mitsuhide's idea, right? "
Yiyin snorted.
"Akechi Mitsuhide? She is a good person when it comes to sowing discord and playing tricks on others, but what does she know about economic matters?
She just wanted to put some shackles on Takada Haruno, but the power of the Hokuriku Road Trading Road was a bit too great, so there was nothing wrong with doing so. "
Ii Naomasa smiled.
"Your Majesty has a strategic mind, and your subordinates respect you.
No matter what the purpose of Akechi Mitsuhide is, your Majesty understands it very well. Now that the stage has been set, I naturally cannot waste your arrangements.
The requesting party has been established, so the files of the Hokurikudo Trade Route should not be limited to Sakai Port. All other parties should send a copy for archiving.
All related income and expenses, including the Shibachu Foundation, Naoetsu, the Kanto Shrine Office, the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, etc., should be documented and backed up. "
Yoshigan glanced at Ii Naomasa.
He didn't really regard the inquiry side as a marginal department, but he had to pay attention to a rhythm when doing things and not be too hasty.
Akechi Mitsuhide won the support of Nizi Katsuhisa, and Yiyin followed their wishes and started this inquiry, asking Takada Harano to back up all the information.
Takada Haruno has already obediently followed the instructions, and Yoshigami shouldn't push people too hard. After all, he still wants to use Takada Haruno to help him with his finances and make money to support so many people in the Shiba family.
If Takada Harano is really forced to do nothing, will the Shiba family be able to survive?
The best way is to first establish the prescriptions and then slowly tighten supervision and management step by step. Boil the frog in warm water. But the young and energetic Naomasa Ii is unwilling. This is to be done in one step.
The requesting side not only needs backup at Sakai Port, but also needs backup at the Hokurikudo trade route-related departments. Based on this calculation, does the internal finance of the three places of Spoland also need to be backed up?
If Naomasa Ii had all the financial data of the entire Shiba family in his hands, and then sorted them out one by one, everyone's little moves under the table would be undetectable.
As Yoshihiro said just now, Ii Naomasa's approach can easily offend others, and in the end he will become a lonely and cruel official. The road ahead will not be easy.
Yiyin said decisively.
"I will order all departments related to the Hokuriku Road Trade Route to send a copy of the relevant business information to the requesting party, but you must also agree to two conditions."
Ii Naomasa looked at the king in surprise.
"Please give me your orders, Your Majesty."
Yiyin sighed.
"First, the filing scope of the inquiring party ends here, and is limited to business. Please give me peace of mind and don't think about the financial filing of the San Di Spo Ling and Implementation Office.
Second, the inquiring party should only focus on archiving, and should not explore the authenticity of the files sent, let alone actively collect information on their own. "
Naomasa Ii said subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, why is this?"
Looking at her appearance, Yiyin knew that the little girl had indeed had this intention.
Yiyin couldn't help but snorted, why? Of course it’s to prevent you from dying unexpectedly!
The archives related to the Hokuriku Road Trade Route are all business-related information. Regardless of whether it is Takada Haruno, Ishida Mitsunari, Daxiong Chaohide, or Ozo Changan, they have no reason to object.
After all, if it is purely a matter of money and food, the most likely result is that the hands and feet of his subordinates are not clean. Therefore, none of them will send false information. At most, it will be vague or omitted, so there is no need to delve into it.
However, the financial data of the three places of Spo and Kanto are different.
Not to mention the transfer of interests and political transactions between high-level military families, just talking about the military budget is full of tricks.
When the cannon is fired, thousands of taels of gold are given, and the Ji warriors in the army fight to the death, isn't it just for the big reward? This military expenditure can never be scrutinized, just understand that under heavy money there must be brave women.
Yiyin really wants to improve the family's laws, but it must be done step by step, allowing the important ministers to have time to adapt, slowly change some bad habits, and cover up the past.
If this data is sent over for backup now, it is equivalent to sending the handle to ask the owner, who can still do things with peace of mind?
The agents of the Spo leaders in the three places may be high-spirited and upright, but are the tribesmen who follow them to earn a living okay?
And among the big guys in the military, who hasn’t done anything that crosses the line?
Let’s just say that Sanada Nobushige, that wild monkey, spends all his time thinking about taking advantage of the Kanto Palace and bringing benefits to the Sanada people. She is the first one to be unable to withstand the audit!
But what if something goes wrong? Can Yiyin deprive her of her territory and tell her to get out of here? Or should she be punished with money and food, and let her and her men suffer poverty?
Yoshigan finally won over the Shino clan and took over the Nishi Ueno land with the help of Sanada Nobunshige. Although the process was not very pleasant, it expanded the power of the Shiba family in Kanto.
For a little money and food, he has to slap himself in the face, deal with his cronies, and make the local tribes feel dissatisfied. Is Yiyin's brain broken?
If Ii Naomasa really forces these local bosses and military bosses into a panic, should Yoshihiro shed tears and kill Ma Su? Or is it better that Fanfu is always on the road?
Naomasa Ii has good intentions and is very smart. She saw that Yiyin agreed to establish the bank to tighten supervision power, and she was willing to fight for Yiyin, regardless of her own future.
But Yiyin doesn't need her to do this. Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes. Some things cannot be rushed and can only be dealt with slowly.
Yiyin is the first generation of family governor who founded the family business. His high prestige can overwhelm the small thoughts of those in the family who are like ghosts and monsters. He is still young and has time to play slowly, so there is no need to make it too ugly.
Just like Li Shimin could allow his arrogant soldiers to die a good death, Zhu Yuanzhang could only raise the butcher's knife to help future generations pull out the weeds.
The advantage of age is really important.
As long as the founding king is confident that he can outlast the founding father, many troubles will not be troubles, and there is no need to cause bloodshed.
Compared with the Chinese dynasty, the island country has a different system, and it cannot learn to make decisions like the emperors of the celestial dynasty. The Chinese dynasty was centralized, the island country was feudal, Yiyin did not have an experienced team, and its foundation was even shallower.
For him, the best way is to first use the Sibo Zhong Fund to establish a relatively loyal Sibo organization system, and then use the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest to plant a tight-knit group of bloodline heirs.
His left hand is the Shiba Zhong Fund, and his right hand is the magpie's nest of Yiyin. He does not need to deal with Shiba's retainers too harshly, but should be appropriately relaxed to reflect his image as a benevolent and righteous king.
However, this girl Ii Naomasa didn't know the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest.
She believes that the Hokurikudo Trading Route is important in providing long-term annuities to the Shiba Tadashi Fund. In order to stabilize the Shiba family business, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and management of the Hokurikudo Trading Route.
Yiyin was very touched by her loyalty.
He even thought that he could consider letting Naomasa Ii join in the future and become part of the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest in order to repay her affection for him.
But at this moment, Yoshihiro couldn't tell Ii Naomasa.
I want to create a reverse harem in the world of female supremacy, and the hard-core crops of the Shiba Zhong Fund are only a transitional period. In the end, the long-term stability of the Shiba family will still depend on blood heirs.
Therefore, he could only pour cold water on Naomasa Ii's overzealousness and loyalty and set limits on the scope of authority of the Inquirer.
Naomasa Ii really didn't understand what Yoshiyin was doing, so she still bowed and begged to insist on her opinion.
"Your Majesty, I thought..."
Yiyin waved his hand to interrupt her.
"You are still young, and you don't understand many things. The matter of asking Zhu Fang is settled. Don't make trouble over nothing. Do you understand?"
Yoshigami meant well, but he ignored Ii Naomasa's mood.
Being called an ignorant child by his admired master, Ii Naomasa was even more unconvinced and secretly determined to achieve something to prove to his master that his worries were correct!
Yiyin didn't know that he had shot himself in the foot. When he saw Ii Naomasa bowing his head and being silent, he wanted to comfort her with a few words to show his favor.
At this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside the porch, and the two of them looked outside the door together. Kamao Clan hurried in with Akechi Mitsuhide, kneeling down and saluting Yoshigan.
Yoshigan frowned and looked at Akechi Mitsuhide.
After solving the problem of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, Akechi Mitsuhide has returned to Kyoto to handle the Shiba family's negotiations with the shogunate and resolve the aftermath of the Nishikon war.
"Akechi-ji, why are you back? Did something happen in Kyoto?"
Akechi Mitsuhide said solemnly.
“Your Majesty, something big has happened.
At the beginning of spring, His Highness Oda ordered the Oda Army of Minami Omi to enter the Sakamoto Mitsui line and besieged Mount Hiei. He demanded an explanation from Master Kakushu in the name of the Tendai Sect colluding with the Takeda family. "
Yiyin sneered.
"Explanation? Is she going to ask for money?
The Oda family has not stopped fighting in the past few years, and no matter how much money or food they have, Oda Nobunaga is not enough to squander it. She is jealous of the wealth of Mount Hiei and takes the opportunity to ask for military expenses. "
Yoshigan knew Oda Nobunaga's character very well. The only thing he was confused about was how come Takeda Shingen's visit to Luo was exposed so quickly?
He could know this because Takeda Nobutora, the former Takeda family governor, deliberately leaked it. How did Oda Nobunaga know?
Spring has just begun now, and Takeda Shingen's side is still busy with spring plowing, and Shangluo has not yet been announced to the public.
The Oda family separated farmers and soldiers better than other samurai daimyo. Oda Nobunaga was able to mobilize the army to besiege Mount Hiei during the busy farming season, and even Yoshigan had no time to react.
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, it is no longer a matter of siege. The Oda army has attacked Mount Hiei.
Enryaku-ji Temple, including the Nedo Hall and the Sanwang Twenty-one Shrine, all kinds of tributes, Buddhist temples, spiritual shrines, monks' rooms, and scriptures were all burned down. The clouds drifted away and ashes were everywhere. It was very sad.
In Enryakuji Temple, all the nuns and children, no matter how high, noble, wise or beautiful, were arrested. One by one, the nuns and children were beheaded and presented to Lord Nobunaga. Even if they begged for their lives, they would not be spared.
The scene was horrific, with thousands of wreckage and corpses strewn across the field. In the thousands of years since Mount Hiei has descended, when has it ever seen such a tragic Buddhist tragedy? It can be called a catastrophe. "
Yiyin was shocked and lost his voice.
"Is Oda Nobunaga crazy? How could he do this? Where is Master Kakushu? Where is she now? Has she encountered anything unexpected?"
Yiyin couldn't believe his ears.
Oda Nobunaga is really crazy. That is Mount Hiei and that is Enryaku Temple. If this fire breaks out, the Oda family will really become enemies of Buddha.
