Chapter 553 Zhenzhu Shrine
After Yae Shinko left, the hall on the first floor of the castle tower fell into silence again.
Lei Dianying was still working hard to approve these documents, Gu Chen was calmly drinking tea and waiting, and so was Paimeng.
After a while, Yae Shinko came back.
After returning, Yaejinko reported the situation of the national treasury:
"I have already explained the matter clearly to the national treasury, and they have already begun allocating funds to compensate the people of Bayun Island.
As for the wood and timber needed to build the Yamojima Shrine, I made a rough estimate and it's enough."
Gu Chen nodded with satisfaction:
“That’s good.
Come back, Shenzi, please send people from the shogunate to transport these timbers to Yayun Island first. These things are needed urgently.
As for the shogunate's compensation to the people of Yae Island, it can be done slowly. I don't think there's any need to rush this matter."
Yae Shenzi sat back down in the seat opposite Gu Chen and nodded:
“That’s what I thought, and that’s what I instructed the treasury to do.
Also, just now in the treasury, I suddenly remembered something."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Looking directly at Gu Chen, the Eightfold Son of God said seriously:
“What is the name of this shrine?
I used to always say Yaejima Shrine, Yaejima Shrine, but I guess this name is just a nickname.
Once the shrine is fully built, we can’t just keep calling it Yayunjima Shrine, we should give it a proper name.”
When this matter was mentioned, Gu Chen slapped his head:
"Oh, Shenzi, you really reminded me. I really overlooked naming the shrine before!
So...what should we name this shrine?
The purpose of building this shrine is to commemorate the people who died in the disaster caused by the evil spirit.
How about calling it... the Shrine of the Demon Suppression?
This name was chosen in the hope of suppressing all the evil spirits on Bayun Island, and also to remind people to never forget the disaster that happened to the evil spirit, so that people will always be vigilant.
After thinking about it, Yaejinko nodded:
"It's also fine to call it the Suppression Shrine.
Okay, now that we have a name, there is another problem.
Lord Gu Chen, who do you plan to let manage this evil-suppressing shrine?
Or let me put it more clearly, which group of shrine maidens and priests should manage such a large shrine?
Or are these witches and priests recruited and trained directly on Bayun Island?"
Mentioning this, Gu Chen said directly:
“I’ve thought about this, too.
I think that instead of training shrine maidens on Yae Island and having them manage the shrine, it would be better to entrust it directly to your Narujin Taisha Shrine."
"Please ask our Narukami Taisha?"
"yes.
When the time comes, I will have to ask for your help, Son of God.
I hope that you, the Son of God, can send a few capable priestesses over to set up the structure of the shrine and start the simple operation and management of the shrine.
Run this way for a while.
I estimate that it won’t be long before people on Yayun Island will be happy to become shrine maidens in the shrine and join in.
At that time, the shrine maidens of Narujin Taisha Shrine will train new little shrine maidens.
This will increase manpower and improve the operation of the shrine, and that is enough."
While listening, Yaejinko was thoughtful:
"Old bringing in new...
I would be quite willing to send personnel from Mingjin Taisha Shrine to manage and operate the Jinsui Shrine. It is exactly what I want.
But, Lord Gu Chen, I have to remind you.
In this way, it is equivalent to bringing the Chinsuku Shrine under the management of the Myojin Taisha Shrine.
Do you agree with this?”
Gu Chen's expression was very natural:
“What’s wrong with that?
Son of God, you seem to have misunderstood something.
Now the people of Yasumi Island do dislike the shogunate, but they don’t dislike Thunder God.
In their hearts, they still believe in General Raiden, and they are still very pious towards the Narukami Taisha Shrine.
Narujin Taisha is Narujin Taisha, and the shogunate is the shogunate; the two cannot be confused."
Yaejinko was inevitably taken aback:
"Huh? Is that so?"
"Of course.
It is said that no one is wiser than the General. No matter what, the majesty of the gods cannot be damaged.
In the minds of the people of Yamashita, the shogunate was the culprit for all the disasters they suffered, and the shogun was also deceived by the shogunate.
Therefore, the people of Bayun Island have no complaints about General Lei Dian, and their faith remains steadfast."
After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lei Dianying, who had been sitting quietly next to him, was visibly ashamed.
The people of Bayun Island suffered so much disaster and pain, and although Lei Dianying was not the direct person responsible, she was indirectly responsible.
Many things were caused by her previous inaction, and she felt very guilty.
Unexpectedly, after so many things happened, although the people of Yakumo Island hated the shogunate, they still had faith in her as the God of Thunder.
Lei Dianying naturally felt a little uncomfortable.
But Yaejinko was quite happy:
"Oh, that's great.
It would also be a good thing to be able to bring the Chinsuku Shrine under the management of the Myojin Taisha Shrine.
At the very least, while ensuring the sacrificial and commemorative process, it can also ensure that the people of Bayun Island do not lose their faith in General Lei Dian. This is great!
So, Lord Gu Chen, is this the settled matter?
After the Zhensui Shrine is built, I will personally bring a few capable shrine maidens to the shrine to take over.
Don't blame me for picking peaches then!"
Gu Chen was so angry that he almost laughed:
“What are you picking peaches for?
Isn't it just a shrine?
It doesn't mean that after the construction of the Zhensui Shrine, its function will become the Coral Palace of Haizhi Island, thus managing the entire Bayun Island.
After all, it is just a shrine, and its function is only to calm people's hearts.
I hope you can be there when the time comes. I hope that Naruto Shrine can take over such a large shrine. A shrine this large cannot be abandoned, right? "
Only to see Yaejinzi smiling broadly:
"So good."
In this way, everything is discussed and resolved.
Within two days, the relevant wood and timber were dragged out of the treasury by the shogunate's managers and transported to Yamyu Island by boat.
When the wood was delivered, Gu Chen also went on the ship, and he and Paimeng returned to Bayun Island again.
When the two men arrived at the original site of Feimu Village with the wood, the craftsmen and workers there as well as the Qianyan Army were already looking forward to it.
The old houses in the dilapidated village had long been demolished, the foundations had been compacted as hard as possible, and the construction drawings had been planned. All that was missing were these materials.
Once all the building materials were in place, the workers who were going to build the house began to build it in full swing under the command of the craftsmen!
At the same time, many huge and solid stones were mined and transported here, and the craftsmen who carved the stele began their work.
The monument and the list of victims slowly took shape under the carving of these craftsmen.
The entire Zhensui Shrine, although not rising from the ground, quickly took shape in its overall outline.
