In October, on the way back to Oujaki ended in the Battle of Ise, Maeda Kyoji asked Takenaka Half-Baiwei, "Military advisor, do you see if the lord's self-deprecating method is too old-fashioned?"

'This is also impossible. The lord has mastered a powerful army and huge wealth. Moreover, the methods from ancient times to the present are similar. Wang Jian kept asking the King of Qin for officials and money on the way to marching. After Xiao He began to invade the land of the people after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, plundering the people's wealth and ointment, making Liu Bang think that he had no ambitions. In fact, it was not like this. I am afraid that Xiao He could not escape the sword of the Weiyang Palace. The lord was just a little lustful before. According to the Ming Dynasty, a beautiful lady is a good match for gentlemen. However, after infinitely magnifying this small flaw, it is almost like this now. If it is a lord of a country, it is a good thing, but if the ministers have no shortcomings in their character and life, it is a disaster. Unfortunately, His Highness Yuan Yijing did not see this.'

‘Yeah, yeah. Those who are retainers should always pour sewage on themselves, and the greater their ability, the more sewage it will have.’ Maeda Keiji nodded repeatedly to agree, ‘Only those with weaknesses can be controlled by the lord, which is the legendary emperor’s technique. However, based on the lord’s weaknesses, the lord will be blessed in the future.’

This time, when I went back to Ohara, the first thing I wanted to visit Senior Nobutsu Kazuizumi. Ohara's Xinyin River Dojo has been sending troops to the Kudo family over the years. After garrisoning in Shigeru Castle, there were still some gaps in the footsteps needed. This time I came here to bring some back. Another thing was that the subordinates of Ishikawa Goemon received a report that the first corruption case of the Kudo family discovered in the Whale House of Ohara.

The warehouse of the Whale House became a trial hall at this time, with hundreds of people and dozens of retainers in the Whale House acting as temporary spectators.

I asked with the file, 'Sanshiro, you scrapped the old parts returned from the army, and then didn't return it, but assembled them again and sold them to the Tokugawa family at a low price. Is that true?'

Sanshiro, who was kneeling on the ground, replied, "That's it."

‘San Silang, how many pieces did you sell in private? How much did you sell in total?’

‘I sold twenty-five pieces, and sold a total of five hundred stags.’

‘San Silang, what position are you now and what is your monthly salary?’

‘I am now responsible for the maintenance of the Whale House, and my monthly salary is ten cents.’

‘Sanshiro, stan is a big number. Even if you go to Kabukicho twice a month to spend money, it is enough. Are you really so short of money? Go and ask, the salary of the Kudo family is not enough. You have more than 100 stans a year. The money you embezzle is only your four years of salary.’ I was really surprised by this kind of corruption case. I followed the principle of high salary and honesty when I started my business. In theory, everyone can live a middle-class family based on the salary I paid. I didn’t expect that it would still not defeat human greed. But I think there is only one corruption case in the past few years, which can capture a large number of corrupt officials than those countries with low salary and greed. This effect is still very obvious. Although there is still some shortcomings, it can completely avoid criminal acts that damage the interests of the public collective by corruption through some means.

Sansilang escaped from the ground with his head and lay on the ground and cried, "I deserve to die, I like gambling, and I owe the casino boss usury. So this is the worst way to do it."

‘Very good, you all know you should die. You should have been enlightened. The Ming Dynasty is going to be beheaded if you embezzle 60 stakes. Now you have 500 stakes, which is considered a death. You are not a warrior and are not qualified to be septidized. I don’t want to hang my subordinates like dead dogs.’ I looked up at the workers and followers on the side of the Whale House, ‘Who reported Sanshiro?’

A smart and capable middle-aged man stood up and said, "The villain Hiroji reported that the villain was a worker in the repair shop."

'Very good, Heiji did a good job. Heiji protected the interests of everyone in the Kudo family. Don't underestimate this matter. A thousand-mile dike is destroyed by ant hole, and a spark can start a prairie fire. The appetite of the corrupt person will grow bigger and bigger. Today is 500 guan, tomorrow is 500 guan, 500 guan.' I took out a protective gun and said to Heiji. 'Heiji, I will give you a chance, you will execute Sanshiro's death sentence. Then you will be Sanshiro's position.'

Heiji bit his lip and finally took over the short gun with a trembling tremble.

At the last moment, I asked Sansilang, ‘Sansilang, what else do you have to explain?’

Sansilang thought for a moment, 'The little man's younger brother is not married yet. After I die, I ask the adults to make the decision and marry my wife to my younger brother so that the child will not have to change his name. The more than 200 stakes left by my corruption are buried under the ashes of the stove. The money...'

I interrupted Sanshiro, 'Let's keep these for your children, you've earned them with your life. But this time, because this is the Kudo family's first case, I won't have such good luck in the future.'

Sanshiro kowtowed on the tatami, 'Thank you, Lord Kudo, I have nothing to explain, I can go on the road with peace of mind.'

Heiji saw me nodding, raised his short gun and aimed it at Sanshiro's head at a distance of one foot, and pulled the trigger with his index finger. The white and red dye intertwined, painted a shrill and weird pattern on the tatami.

What a beautiful picture. Unfortunately, beauty is always short-lived. A few feet came in and cleaned up all the remains left by San Silang.

I took a sip of tea and said slowly, ‘From then on, the Kudo family has set rules that if anyone who reports a superior's crime and has been verified, as long as he is executed and shot his superior himself, he can take up his position. If he is unwilling to execute himself, he will only receive some rewards for property. But the first thing the successor did before taking office was to execute his old boss.’

The mechanism for maintaining integrity with high salaries can effectively eliminate most corruption behaviors. Coupled with effective reward reporting and the mechanism for executing old bosses before taking office, it can completely eliminate the possibility of corruption crimes being extended.

Maeda Kyoji and the whale house supervisor Maeda Kyung joked, "Brother, be careful, hundreds of people are staring at your seat."

Maeda Genie, 'It's you who should be careful. I'm 50 yuan in a month and it's enough to live in Kabukicho Street every day. You and Sanshiro both have problems with gambling. Didn't Sanshiro just fail in the casino?'

Maeda Keiji smiled proudly, "Sanshiro must have been hit by someone else's immortal dance. Who is my Hua Zhiqing? That's the ancestor who plays immortal dance."

It took a long time since I came to Ouka. I looked through the account books sent by Maeda Genyi. Although the Yue family, who raised soldiers and fought wars, gave gifts and bribed, helped friendly troops, and had spent a lot of money on the Yue family, the military funds have increased steadily, reaching as much as five million knots. Foreign debt is not enough, those who rarely have the chance to come back.

Kingsoft of New World is not progressing too fast, but the Hexao family is now self-sufficient in terms of food, and the mine exploration is also good. Several rivers rich in sand have been discovered. It seems that it is time to organize people to go to the New World to hunt for gold, but there is a lack of an effective opportunity.

When I arrived at the Xinyin Flow Temple, I met Nobuka Kamizuki. After some courtesy in the small living room, I told my plan, "I heard that Kita Kushu and Master Kamizuki have learned swordsmanship?"

Nobunaga Kamizuki didn't know why he mentioned Kita Kurata, but he answered truthfully, "It's true that happened a few years ago. His Highness Kurata likes martial arts as much as the general."

‘Then I will say it clearly. Now the Kitada family, Kobe family and Nagano family in Ise have been exiled to become ronin, but they still live in temples near Ise. After a long time, they will inevitably contact their former retainers. It is inevitable that His Highness Nobunaga is suspicious. If you ask me, it is better to leave Ise and develop elsewhere without a dangerous wall.’

‘The Kitada family has been in Ise for generations, and the roots have grown there, and people are so humble.’ Nobutsu Uchizumi knows that although the Kitada family is a little larger than the general's family, it is still limited, and still has not saved enough capital to be a businessman in Jie Town.

'Actually, I have a good place, Jinshan, you can tell it's good by listening to the name. The Hexao family has been there for a while, and I will let the Hexao family come back alone. You will take Ise to persuade the Lord Kushu to die and move. Now the territory that the Hexao family has reclaimed in Jinshan is much larger than that of the Minami Omi, and the gold mine income is not less.' I was drawing a beautiful blueprint for Nobuka Kamiyasu, saying the desolate New World as gold and paddy fields everywhere. If you want to make Kita Kushu intrigued, you still have to make a little advertisement.
