"As for their own side, I'll tell them about it when I return to Kuroda Castle later, so please rest assured that my uncle will do this. Since they are already ordinary retainers of their own family, and they have also become your subordinates, then I hope that my uncle will treat them impartially in the future, and if they do not complete their tasks well, or make mistakes, please punish them according to the law, and absolutely not favoritism.www.biquge.info

Also, after they come, even when it comes to addressing, they are absolutely not allowed to make special words, in public, in the presence of outsiders, they are absolutely not allowed to call you uncle, only adults, of course, in private, I will tell them this," Kuroda said.

"Although it should be like this, but if they are treated like this, will Mrs. Yan have an opinion!" Shigetaka Matsui asked.

"This shouldn't be, the three mothers are sensible people, I'll talk to them."

"Hmmm! If so, I'm relieved. By the way, the guard, you're done, I have something to ask you about. ”

"Oh! If there is anything to do, please tell your uncle directly! ”

"Then you're welcome, I'm currently under my command of myself, Ota Hara Sotoki and Kuwaen Saemon, and they are more familiar with internal affairs, and the three of them you sent can probably be used, but now after all, they are managing the two countries, and there are many affairs, see if you can allocate some people from the ministers to me!"

"With your words alone, it is indeed a little overturned, in that case, it would be good to send you ten people from the congregation to help your uncle deal with government affairs!"

"That's great."

"Hmmm! I also asked my uncle to write an application to my father, and I will tell him about it myself later. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll be completely fine." Shigetaka Matsui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he came to Nagato Country, Kuroda Vocational High School was not ready to go back like this, so he took his sister Ah Shi, who had newly acquired a new one, and came to play near the Yamaguchi Museum of Nagato Province.

Kuroda Vocational High School and his entourage, led by a local national, came to Sumiyoshi Shrine. Sumiyoshi Shrine is also known as Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi Shrine, or Najin Taisha. Before the Kuroda Vocational High School crossing, Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi Shrine, together with Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine in Osaka and Sumiyoshi Shrine in Hakata, was one of the "Three Great Sumiyoshi Shrines in Japan".

The main hall was designated as a National Treasure of the Wa Kingdom during the Showa period of the Wa Kingdom, and many of the cultural relics in the collection were designated as cultural preservation collections, reflecting the artistic value and long history of the shrine.

Sumiyoshi Shrine is one of the largest shrines in the western region, but when Kuroda Vocational High walked to the mountain gate, he was somewhat disappointed.

Although the torii gate of the shrine is still bright red and very solemn, the lacquer peeling off can be clearly seen on the two pillars. At this time, Kuroda Vocational High School remembered the Ginzan Temple in Tajima Province, and when I first went there, it seemed to be like this, looking depressed and dilapidated.

Shrines and temples are generally self-sufficient, but they still need to be worshiped by believers.

The more wars and chaos this ensemble, it is difficult to avoid defeat even at official shrines and temples, except in places like Mt. Hiei, Ishiyama Imperial Palace, and Kinkakuji Temple. But if you think about it, Mt. Hiei was burned down by the Demon King, and Ishiyama Honganji Temple was also attacked, but it was later retained because of its softness, and even Kinkakuji Temple, which is a national treasure, was burned down in the war.

Even the Sanzen-in Temple, where the Kuroda family settled in Kyoto, was a famous temple that had been around for hundreds of years, but before the Kuroda family settled, it was very dilapidated and could not even eat, and it was only with the Kuroda family's funding that it was able to be repaired. Not to mention the small temples and shrines in other places, many of which have been reduced to the territory of robbers or the safe haven of wild dogs.

In this troubled world, I can't help but ask, is there really a place of peace?

You must know that even the emperor needs to sell calligraphy and paintings, and let his inner prince go out to sell meat, where does the imperial court get the money to supply these temples and shrines? Many of those Kokubun temples were defeated, and some even changed their beliefs, not to mention Kokubunni Temple. Since there is no supply from the imperial court, they can only rely on themselves. Farming can only fill one's stomach, but for many pampered monks, it is better to let him go to farming, it is better to let him die.

It's not that there are no monks who specialize in Buddhism, but there are not only them, but there are also many famous ones, and there are also strange people like Kobo Master and Kukai Master.

However, because of the funding of the previous imperial court, it was too easy for many temples to obtain, so the monks did not produce, but just raised monks and soldiers, and simply fished the surrounding people, turning themselves into wealthy clans.

There is no doubt that Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi Shrine is a large shrine. Such a large shrine has many buildings, such as the main hall of the shrine, the worship hall, and even some small structures and ditches around it, all of which need to be repaired and maintained at any time.

There are some things they can do by themselves, such as cleaning and dusting. However, some craftsmen must be hired to maintain them, such as changing the beams, changing the tiles, and re-dyeing the statues, all of which require money.

For temples and shrines that do not have money printing machines, these money must be financed from the outside, and without the supply of the imperial court, the people have been displaced by years of war, not to mention taking money to worship shrines, and temples and shrines can only look at the mood of the local lords, such as the Ginzan Temple and Sanzen-in Temple in Tajima Province.

If the local daimyo and wealthy families do not give support, it will be too difficult for a temple to survive.

According to the Nihon Shoki, the Sumiyoshi Shrine in Nagato Province was built in the direction of the Stick Peninsula when Empress Shinko was regent and was preparing to conquer Sanhan. The purpose of the construction was to pray that the three gods of Sumiyoshi, who were in charge of the maritime business, would send an oracle to the Wa Kingdom and bless the warriors on their safe journey across the sea and on their way home.

Sumiyoshi Shrine was created to bless the safety of military and maritime traffic at the time, and also to reflect the ruler's reverence for Sumiyoshi. During the Kamakura period, from Minamoto Yoritomo onwards, successive shoguns would designate a shrine leader to Sumiyoshi Shrine so that the shrine could receive sufficient tribute.
