What would happen if Ogi had read the God Emporer of Dune

Here's the rough sketch of what would be the Golden Path for Nayado:

• Establish the manga trade in Nayado.


• Use the 'profit' to establish a rudimentary education system and reduce the rice burden of the peasants enough so that some may go through it.


• Establish a military academy.


• Train professional bushi to be effective unit based combatants. Train for quality over quantity to hopefully lessen resources needed for defense and to prevent disruptions in agricultural cycles during mobilizations. The smaller professional force will go to battle instead of peasant farmers.


• Samurai training will be adapted and advanced for solo and small group tactics, the elite of the elite (or Jedi I suppose you could say).


• Taking a cue from 'viking' heritage, establish the 'marines' or 'costal raiders', capable of land and sea operations with high mobility. Also continue research into the Li Lung cannon.


• Continue to keep overall military numbers limited (compared to other clans) with use primarily as a defensive force, to preserve life and resources and to not appear as a threat to the rest of Nayado.


• Use increased efficency to fund military and academic 'scholarships' for exceptional candidates and to increase the portion of the populace that can receive the rudimentary education.


• Develope the maritime technology required to produce sturdy long range exploratory ships and scout for new lands. If new inhabitated lands are found, don't conquer, just open trade relations. Include academics (ala Royal Society) to study people/places/flora/fauna. Any profits re-invested into the domain and the people.


• Strengthen and enlighten domain so that when the Nayado analogs of Europe shows up (if they haven't already been 'discovered' by the expeditionary service) they can be given the "what for".
