233 6.27 Shape Up Or Ship Out. Never Fear Changes For Improvements. (1/2)
The next following day, Hiko-sama, the 4 Execom members and ex-Mayor walked the castle grounds and after a long discussion and debate, we finally dismissed all the staffs from the premises except for two Servants who are required to return and touch up the grounds once every 3 days with full pay.
The Imperial Guards were told to report to their General as we don't require their escort services or guard the castle. The militia was recalled and told to report to the Commander.
And the order was passed that if anyone's belly size is wider than their chest, they were given 3 months to invert it or to be discharged without honour from the Imperial or the Militia with full Pension, regardless of rank or seniority.
Next is the Samurai that had been totally disbanded since they are a redundancy as our outposts, paid soldiers and cavalrymen from Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha were filled all the way from Kagoshima till Aomori.
The affected 15 members of Samurai all received full pension up to 36 months and were told to assist Hiko-sama of their services if it were being rendered, especially the Dojo.
Next, is the abolishment of the import and export tax which we find it ridiculous. The merchants were rejoicing in the streets and all pin the smiley faces on the right side of their kimonos. No tax means more cash for the merchants and opens up more trade routes with the neighbours.

We also open up our import trade routes from other countries as well, even if our actions seem like an Emperor but it is for the benefits of our people too. If others don't follow, then we would be the first to do it and become an export hub to all the rest of the regions.
I asked for the Castle's liquid assets and were surprised it contains more than 6 million gold coins. We decided not to touch it and let it be handled by the Shogun himself. The corporate account on Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha is already near 3 times the assets that the Castle alone had at this moment.
I looked at the salaries of the government officials and were paid 10x more of that of a samurai per month and had their salaries axed by more than 50%. They were grumbling and I simply said, ”You see that door when you report in? If you're not HAPPY JUST GET OUT....!! FAT FUCKS OF FREELOADERS. SHAME ON YOU FOR TAKING THE PEOPLE'S MONEY AS YOUR SALARY....!!!”
I was simply seething with anger at their abuse in monetary and takes these opportunities for their own skin and personal wealth. If taking innocent lives is one heinous crime, then squeezing blood from the residents' hard-earned money is also equal to that crime...!
”If you want to regain your salary... It is possible.” The moment I mentioned it, their eyes shone with greed and not anticipation. ”REDUCE YOUR WAIST SIZE TO BE SMALLER THAN YOUR CHEST IN 30DAYS...!!!” Of course, no one dares to retaliate me and bowed their heads low and cast curses on their dicks. Hahahahaha...!!!
”Listen here, in fact, we could remove some of you from your positions, pay your salary and then I don't wanna smell your stinking fart in this office again, do you know THE FUCKING WHY? Because my words have the same weight as His Majesty and he acknowledges me as his friend and not some subordinate that could be pushed around...!!! ”
Hiko-sama let out a smile, as right after my hypoglycaemia incident, he thought I had lost my touch as the Hitokiri Of A Sharp Tongue. In fact, it became sharper than usual.
We walked out from the governmental building and I turned to Hiko-sama said, ”Sensei, it's better to have lots of enemies this would stab us in the front, rather than having friends that laugh with you when there are joy and merriment and leaves you high and dry when you have problems. Let's go make more enemies.”
Hiko-sama let out a soft laugh while the ex-Mayor knew it was a waste of time explaining how to run thing in order as he knew that Himura Kenshin's vision is far and wide... Just like the Shogun and he sighed inwardly and thought that God Must Be Crazy in letting kids to rule Japan and Kitakata...!!
The moment we entered the trading district, the merchants all left their shop fronts and were cheering ”BANZAI...” for quite a number of times and I whispered to ex-Mayor that if they were to continue like that, their customers would be waiting in vain.
He raised his hands and gestured everyone to calm down. After the cheers died down, he announced what I had relayed to him and speak into the crowd. Moments later, everyone was laughing hysterically and put on the smiley badges on the right side of their kimonos and attended to your businesses.
