(It took more than 30 years for the Tokugawas to build the Great Edo Castle early in the 17th century. The castle has been used as the Imperial Palace of Japan since the late 19th century.)
"He Saveth the Poor from the Sword"
(Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Non-Money Economy)
First of all, you must understand the following historical theses, so that no professors of history could take you so lightly:
1) Judaism emerged, since mankind's early civilization in the west failed around 2000 B.C.
2) Buddhism emerged, since mankind's early civilization in the east failed around 500 B.C.
3) Christianity emerged, since Judaism failed around the 1st century.
4) Islam emerged, since Christianity failed around 500.
(5) Non-money economy is expected to emerge, since Islam failed around 2000.)

Now, let's check who the Roman Emperor was when Jesus Christ lived and died, since Jesus Christ truly mentioned the emperor in his teaching concerning tax and conspiracy.
-------------
Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus, born Tiberius Claudius Nero (November 16, 42 BC – March 16, AD 37), was the second Roman Emperor, from the death of Augustus in AD 14 until his own death in 37. Tiberius was by birth a Claudian, son of Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia Drusilla.
....
Were he to have died prior to AD 23, he might have been hailed as an exemplary ruler.[82] Despite the overwhelmingly negative characterization left by Roman historians, Tiberius left the imperial treasury with nearly 3 billion sesterces upon his death.
....
The sestertius, or sesterce, was an ancient Roman coin. During the Roman Republic it was a small, silver coin issued only on rare occasions. During the Roman Empire it was a large brass coin.

It is not a small number. Even toady if you have three billion coins in Japan or the U.S., you would be regarded as a very or super rich man.

Job 5:10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
Job 5:11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
Job 5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
Job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
Job 5:14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
Job 5:15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
