Li Mo pinched his chin and said immediately: "Let's set up a position called Lao Zhong."
Chapter 458: Old Chinese
"Old Master, what position is that?"
Ying repeated the word, feeling puzzled. What position was called this?
Li Mo said: "Old General, you can understand it as a position that allows you to give advice to the general. It can be understood as a nominal position."
"Hmm? I understand you want me to speak freely, but...why do you want to set up such a position?" Shadow still didn't understand.
Li Mo pointed out that the problems in the past were largely due to the single channel for obtaining information. Even the petition submitted by She Buxing was suppressed by that old man Kujo Takayuki. It would be strange if there were no problems.
Ying did not doubt the idea of opening up channels for communication, but why should he do so?
"Don't you think there's something wrong with the current succession of power? The Tenryo Bugyo has been the Kujo family for generations, as have the Kanjo Bugyo and the Sha Bugyo. I don't doubt the loyalty of the Hiiragi family, the Kujo family, and even the Kamisato family to you. But I don't believe that the inheritance of blood can bring about the inheritance of power.
Even the duties of the elders are like this.”
In Li Mo's conception, although the position of Laozhong is a nominal position, if one wants to become the Lord of the Three Bugei, one must first become Laozhong.
Movie review: "Isn't this a waste of time? Can't I just appoint whoever I want?"
Li Mo was stunned. He had forgotten that all of Inazuma's rights came from General Thunder. She was a true god. Without her protection, human beings would not have survived until now...
"Okay, don't be discouraged. I'm glad that you treat me as a friend, not a god." Ying said.
Li Mo said, "Well, it's up to you."
"I think the old Chinese's idea is correct. It is to receive more information from different perspectives. Mo, how many people do you think should be set? Who should be chosen?"
"There must be one of the Three Bugyo, plus the Son of God and the Miko of Umijima, for a total of five. How about adding a well-known person from the folk? That will make a total of six."
"Why six?" Ying asked.
Li Mo shrugged: "I just think six is a good number. The leader of the Three Admonitions must have the right to make suggestions. You can't do otherwise, right? Plus the Son of God as a fuse."
“I approve of all four of them.”
Ying likes to discuss these things with Li Mo, one is that she has never discussed with him before, and the other is that he likes to break down everything he explains, as if he is teaching someone.
She always answers questions, unlike the fox. If you ask her, she will always come up with reasons to refuse to answer, or indirectly mock you.
There is no need to mention the three ministers. They have suffered losses some time ago. It is better for the three ministers to have equal strength and check each other. It is also understandable to have more children of God. After all, she is his only dependent.
——Gohyukō said it was his follower, but it only wanted to be "Hidden God Hoshoji Sho Gohyukō".
Facing such seniority, Ying didn't want to do anything more. Familiar faces were rare, and she didn't want to ruin the relationship.
That lazy guy Shen Zi should be assigned more tasks!
"Then, what about the remaining two? I can probably understand the well-known people among the people. But the priestess of Haigi Island..." Ying pinched his chin, thinking about Li Mo's intention.
Li Mo walked to the edge of the window, tapped it and said, "I can understand your idea. Since the death of Orobas, Kaigi Island has nominally belonged to Inazuma. But in fact, it is autonomous and does not belong to the system of the Three Magistrates. Even in the disaster five hundred years ago, they did not seek help from the shogunate. I understand that you are inheriting the real idea, but now, the times have changed.
Ying, have you ever been to Haigi Island to see it? "
Ying said, "The last time I went there was when I killed Orobas at the end of the Demon God War. The island of Kaigi is full of martial virtues and has been self-sufficient for thousands of years. It only conducts business with Inazuma Castle."
"That's the problem! Umijima is nominally affiliated with Inazuma, but it has always been integrated. Let's not talk about other aspects, only the business dealings are problematic. Ying, what is the big business of Umijima and Narukamijima?"
In fact, it was only after seeing the Heart Sea of the Coral Palace that Li Mo realized that he, like Ying, had subconsciously ignored the existence of Haiji Island.
Umijima is an island that is independent of Inazuma. But can Umijima really be separated from Inazuma?
The answer is no. How can the land, which can only be used to grow radishes, achieve internal circulation?
"Haiji Island sells finished clothes and some luxury goods, and purchases food..." Ying realized the problem.
Food is very important. Demons can live without food and water, but humans cannot. Before the disaster from Keria five hundred years ago, when they were retreating, they had to ensure that they had enough food.
Ying said, "Haigo Island cannot be self-sufficient in food?"
"Yes, the land of Kaigi Island cannot be used for farming because of the 'sanctification'. Food depends largely on fishing. Now let's look back at your isolation order. That policy hindered exchanges with foreign countries and also hindered the fishing industry of Kaigi Island."
The fishery resources of Narukami Island are the best in the Inazuma Islands. Before the isolation order, fishing boats from Umijima often lingered around Narukami Island to fish.
The fishing industry was affected by the isolation order. Food production decreased, and it was natural that a rebellion was born due to the hunting order.
"What happened in the past is in the past. The key point is how to prevent such things from happening again in the future on Haigi Island. I think, Ying, you should listen to the request from Haigi Island."
Li Mo said, "Secondly, there is a natural barrier between Haigi Island and Inazuma Islands. The difference in beliefs makes it difficult for the two sides to sincerely unite."
Ying said: "I understand your idea, but is Haijima really willing to integrate into it?"
"We have no intention of changing their beliefs. We just want them to obey unified arrangements in administration and economy. The contemporary human god Shanhu Gong Xinhai is a smart person, she will come closer." Li Mo said.
Umijima is like a ship that has been drifting on the sea in the wind and rain, and it is already in tatters. Coral Palace Xinhai's previous behavior was like a paperhanger patching up the problem, but if he wants to solve the problem from the root, he needs Inazuma's help.
If you don't have permanent property, you won't have permanent heart. When you have bottles and jars at home, you will inevitably be more restrained in doing things.
Ying finally agreed with Li Mo's proposal. "Laozhong" is just a nominal position, not related to specific affairs. The workload of giving advice should be much less than the current workload, right?
"I have one last question." Ying and Li Mo stood by the window, looking at the starry sky outside and asked, "Why do you want to make friends with 'Old Chinese'?"
"Whatever you want. You can change the name."
The reason why it is called "Rochu" is probably because it was a management position used by the shogunate in history. It was a position that assisted the shogun in managing the affairs of the country and had real power. Its role was similar to that of the cabinet.
The prototype of Inazuma is the shogun, or even the shogun. Isn't it okay to borrow this official title?
Ying did not change the name of the position in the end.
Even though the name is strange.
Chapter 459 Results
Any policy change needs to be implemented to see whether it is good or bad. Before it is implemented, who knows whether it is good or bad?
Maybe a monster like the Information Integration Thought Body can calculate all the variables, but Li Mo and Lei Dianying can't.
The split of Tenryo Bugyo was the first to start. The samurai headed by Kujo Sara were taken out of the Tenryo Bugyo organization and turned into a new organization directly under the command of the Thunder God.
Although she is directly under the Lei Yingying, she does not directly manage this army. She is the nominal object of the army's loyalty. The Okujishu are reorganized, and Kujo Sara becomes the leader of the Okujishu.
The Ojie people are the army that guards the general. But if you think about it carefully, with the general's great power, he doesn't need any guards at all. The Ojie people are more like the royal guards, and the people in it are the elite who have been selected through layers of selection. According to Ying, thousands of years ago, the Ojie people were the ones who charged with her on the battlefield.
There are quite a few people in the Oji who have the Eye of God. However, most of them are not as strong as Kujo Sara.
She should be the only existing Tengu bloodline.
"I think you should transfer Kujo Sara to Narugami Taisha Shrine and teach her."
At the Mingjin Taisha Shrine in early summer, Li Mo gave Ying this advice: "Kujo Sara has a good foundation. With proper training, he can become a fierce general."
"That's fine... I'm finally done with my work, let me rest for a few days before I see." Lei Dianying said, "I never thought that handling government affairs would be so difficult."
"Because we are changing the system. To do this kind of thing, we have to contend with the existing system and the inertia in people's hearts." Li Mo said: "I am a little surprised that the booking plan can be completed so quickly."
The speed of the reform was so fast that it was both unexpected and reasonable.
After the end of the Seclusion Order and the Eye Hunting Order, the Tenryo Bugyo Kujo Takayuki and the Kanjo Bugyo Hiiragi Shinsuke were punished by the Shogun for colluding with the Fathomless. Kujo Kamajiro and Hiiragi Chisato took over the highest power of the two Bugyos respectively.
Li Mo didn't know how the game developed. But in the current world, these two people are working hard to wash away the negative impact of their father on the family's reputation. They are both very capable, brave and resourceful. They sent many of the pests in Tianling Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo to prison - many of them are the power of their respective families.
The Kujo family and the Hiiragi family declined a lot. The subtle thing is that the second largest family in the Tenryo Bugyo, the Takami family, had long been controlled by the Narugami Taisha. Their family's secret base at the foot of Kagemukai Mountain has now become an amusement park for the raccoons. There is no more opposition in the Tenryo Bugyo, and it is completely controlled by Kujo Kamajima.
The Kanjo Bugyo was also completely controlled by Chisato Hiiragi. There were some resistances within the organization, including marrying Chisato Hiiragi to Kujo Kamajima. However, due to Kamisato Ayato's manipulation, the matter was never resolved.
From these two incidents, it is clear that there is no resistance from within the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo. As for the Sha Bugyo... Kamisato Ayato had already cleared out the opposition long ago.
Besides, this is the general's order.
"In your eyes, I must be useless as a general to prevent those from obeying my orders." Ying said.
"Times." Li Mo simply said one word.
Ying knew the meaning of the word and said, "They dare not."
Li Mo shrugged: "The general is right."
Unlike Earth, this world really has gods. They are not omnipotent, nor omniscient. But to humans, they are gods.
Faith, that's the only thing he couldn't understand.
In these days, various reform measures have been promulgated, and the two have discussed the major problems that may arise. They no longer pay too much attention to it, and now Inazuma has fully accepted the reform.
Even the system of senior middle-level officials has been put into operation. Five senior middle-level officials have been appointed, but there are still those so-called well-known people in the society...
"Mo, do you think it's feasible to choose the owner of the Naganohara Fireworks Shop?"
"Why not?" Li Mo pressed his temple: "After all, it was chosen by everyone, so she's the one."
People didn't know what the Laozhong was, they just knew there was one more person who could write letters to the general. When choosing who would be the Laozhong, Xiao Gong got the most votes.
——After all, among the common people, people from the Three Magistrates and Narujin Taisha cannot be chosen. Yoshinomiya is very well-known. On the one hand, the fireworks of Naganohara Fireworks Shop are well-known far and wide, so many people know Yoshinomiya. On the other hand, Yoshinomiya has also been active in the Eye Hunter Order and has accumulated popularity.
"Okay then, Lao Zhong will decide this." said General Lei Dian.
The position of Laozhong is a nominal one, and it is a channel for giving advice to the general. Whether this policy is good or bad, we need to wait for a while to see the situation.
"Mo, do you know what Shenzi has been doing recently? Why haven't I seen her at Narukami Taisha?"
Reforms are accompanied by busyness. Once you are busy, you will not pay attention to so many things. It was only today when I had some free time that I realized that I haven't seen the Eightfold God Child for a long time.
After a pause, Ying suddenly smiled. It had only been a dozen days since Li Mo returned to Mingshen Taisha and they had worked together to reform the shrine, but Ying felt that this period of time was particularly long.
Or, fulfillment?
"Shenzi, she must be busy in Yaedo."
"Yaedo? It's the place where light novels are published, right? I went there last time when Yae Kamiko took me to Inazuma Castle. I have also read a few light novels." Ying recalled.
That happened several months ago. On that day, Yae Shinko ran away with Ying, leaving Li Mo alone at the Naruto Shrine to deal with various official documents.
Li Mo: "What do you think?"
"I don't understand. Does anyone really read books like that?"
Ying has never forgotten the books he has read.
Why do people still read books about hillbillies who can become stronger by eating sunset fruit? How strong can hillbillies be?
Li Mo said: "Let's talk about the topic of Shenzi. Didn't I tell you that I would leave after the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?"
