Chapter 40 Bewitched(3/3)
Although a miko is equal to a daimyo in a certain sense, in the eyes of others, she is just another title.
However, in Shiraishi's view, there is an essential difference between the shrine maidens of the Demon Country and the daimyo of various countries in the ninja world.
Because the daimyo can be replaced, but the miko cannot be replaced.
In addition, mikos of all generations seem to have no special interest in power and basically adopt a laissez-faire attitude. As long as the bottom line is not touched, mikos will not interfere with others and allow them to grow freely.
And those nobles who seek help from witches will not mess around in the territory of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
In this territory, if you offend the witch, it means losing the protection of the witch. This is a very dangerous thing when monsters cause trouble.
As for leaving the Kingdom of Demons, the ninja world is now in a bad era with frequent wars. The stability of the Kingdom of Demons makes many people flock to it.
Based on many considerations, even if the miko does not have any actual power, every word she speaks can be said to be a manifestation of power.
"I hope to lose the status of daimyo while still retaining their identity as a great noble, and we must make financial compensation to them."
Ziyuan briefly described the request in the letter.
This was not beyond Shiraishi's expectation.
The request is not too greedy and is more reasonable.
It is reasonable to retain the status of a great noble.
Shiraishi is not very repulsive to groups like aristocrats. This kind of group, no matter what era, is indelible. It is nothing more than the distinction between high-profile and low-profile.
After all, the reason why the economy of the Demon Country is developing so rapidly now is also thanks to the accumulated wealth of the Uchiha clan.
In terms of military affairs, the Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan, and Uzumaki clan also made great contributions.
Compared to these ninjas who inherited the blood line, ordinary nobles are not targets worthy of attention.
As for financial compensation, this statement is a bit ambiguous.
"That is to say, it still requires some negotiation and compromise... Well, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, the annexation of a country, even a small country, can bring huge benefits. If certain compensation is not made, it will indeed
It doesn’t make sense. It seems that the Daimyo of Yuno Country wants to be a conservative person and just wants his family to have long-term peace and stability.”
Shiraishi nodded, seeing through the intentions of the Daimyo of Yuno Country.
This kind of self-aware nobleman is the type of nobleman Shiraishi prefers.
The reason why the other party made such a request was based on the basic national conditions of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
"For the next thing, I will send people to the Kingdom of Yu to negotiate with the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Yu to determine the scope of 'compensation'."
The Country of Snow, the Country of Darkness, and the Country of Bears are three important sections in the expansion plan.
Now the Snow Country can be said to be in its hands, and its national strength is also developing rapidly. The Bear Country is making arrangements and it is only a matter of time before it is taken into their hands.
As long as the Kingdom of You is incorporated, it can be said that the expansion plan is foolproof.
"Then can I go out to play, Father?"
Ziyuan's pupils were filled with anticipation.
"Have you finished your homework as a miko? That's important to you, right?"
"It's too boring. Anyway, that kind of practice cannot be completed in an instant. If you are too strict, it will really accelerate aging and turn into an old man early, father."
Shion looked at Shiraishi with a smile.
"Okay. As long as you pay attention to the time, there will be no problem."
A little girl of five or six years old, when she is releasing her natural instinct, will naturally feel boring about spiritual practice.
"I know. I heard that Sister Xiaoxue's first movie will be officially screened in the near future. I'm really looking forward to it."
Ziyuan's face showed a happy look.
Because Shiraishi serves as a link, Shion and Fuka Koyuki, a daimyo of the Land of Snow, know each other and have a good relationship with each other.
The other party seems to be very enthusiastic about the film industry, and he can switch between famous names and actors. He is not only a famous name from the country of Snow that is loved by the people, but also a dedicated actor with excellent acting talent. He can do everything between the two.
A kind of balance is achieved, which makes Ziyuan admire her very much.
"It's up to you. Again, remember to complete the miko's homework and don't always think about it for fun. Your existence is special to the country of ghosts."
Even after saying this, Shion still looked like she didn't care about practicing.
Unlike Miroku, who has a quiet and calm temperament, Shion's character seems a bit lively and has a strong interest in novel things. He does not seem to be a quiet and obedient type, and advocates a strong individuality.
In other words, is he another problem child?
