Under Raiden Ei's dumbfounded gaze, Lord Guchen continued his explanation:
"Through this continuous cycle, the entire Shogunate hierarchy will form a slow upward current. As stagnant and corrupt high nobles are constantly wiped out, minor nobles will steadily be promoted to take their places. Once minor nobles move up, the vacant positions will be filled by outstanding middle-ranking samurai. And when the samurai step up and leave vacancies below, commoners with the courage to fight and strive will naturally fill those gaps. Look, with continuous upward movement and backfilling, while the corrupt scum at the top is constantly cleared away by you, doesn't that form a healthy upward mobility?"
Yae Miko felt a slight tingling in her scalp just listening to this, but she had to admit: "A brilliant method, and it makes complete sense."
