Who do the Scorpion primarily support with their koku, gaining political sway and blackmail over them?

Please see this thread for more details:

I think Shoju having a large amount of ronin could only lead to good things.

The Unicorn could lead to some kolat shenanigans. Imperial to some coup shenanigans. Crane seems fun too. Minor Clans they could puppet at will? What a dream.

I think there was no saying on Kolat yet but gaijin secrets are still a boom.

Not take down the empire but to take down the gods and make mankind rule itself.

Has there been confirmed Kolat-ness for the Unicorn in the new canon? I was hoping that, at least in its extremes, would be one of the things they fixed.

And, yeah, the Kolat are the anti-Kami conspiracy though, in old canon, they end up just being all about personal control and power.

They could always hire if they want them for a specific task. I'm going Minor Clans.

The Scorpion offer a great deal of Koku to the Crab, with a slightly smaller portion to the Crane. They also send some to the Dragon, and a small pittance to the Unicorn, Non-Mantis Minor Clans, Imperial Families, and Ronin crime lords within their cities. The Mantis, Lion, and Phoenix recieve barely any, but still are able to gain some koku.

((Crab: 25,000
Crane: 15,000
Dragon: 5,000
Unicorn, Imperial Families, Ronin, Each Minor Clan( Badger, Cat, Centipede, Dragonfly, Fox, Hare, Sparrow, Wasp, Tortoise, Falcon, Deer: 1000 each (total 14,000),
Mantis, Lion, Phoenix: 333 each (total 999)
