Li Yanzhi finally left.
Chen Ji was very concerned about what he told him before leaving, because he was also hoping to attract Li Yanzhi's attention and slowly enter the Li family's direct team!
Li Yan explained a lot of things before leaving, and two things were the most important: one was to investigate the whereabouts of the "disappeared goods"; the other was to investigate the whereabouts of Poshan! Li Yanzhi's handwritten letter to him said: "These two things are actually probably one thing! I thought this matter would surface before I left Japan, but now it seems that the other party's patience is enough to wait until I return to the Ming Dynasty."
Chen Ji found that Li Yanzhi's idea was correct! Fifteen days after the Li family's fleet left the port, it was calculated that Li Yanzhi had arrived in Zhejiang or Fujian, and a batch of new goods began to appear on the market. From raw silk to spices, from books to copper coins, it was supposed to have begun to enter the Japanese market, which was depleted by the mysterious goods that suddenly appeared, and was stirred up by the muddy water!
"It's so amazing!" Shimai Ren praised and said to Imai Sokuha: "The people who hoarded this batch of goods are so patient! They can wait until now to take action!"
At this time, Imai Sohi might have begun to surpass the senior in front of him, thinking that he had seen something that Shin Shinshimai had not seen!
"It seems to be that batch of goods!" he thought.
Imai Sohi had read the list of the goods that Li Jie was robbed and was always careful, so after this incident, he immediately realized that there would be a bigger secret to get out of the fog!
Almost at the same time as the people sent by Chen Ji, Imai Soku, who had already returned to Hirado, arrived at Seed Island and then entered the free port that had just begun to operate - Kagoshima Port.
Kagoshima Port was still very simple at this time, but the freedom under the communist system made the commercial forces here unprecedentedly active. Here, Soku Imai and Chen Ji's people traced the origin of the Sect and finally found the source of the mysterious goods - Katsuhisa Shimazu!
At this time, it had been a month since he left Li Yanzhi and returned to China!
"I didn't expect Katsuki to endure this!" Imai Soraki exclaimed, and suddenly realized that many people had misread Katsuki's man.
"Although he was defeated by Tadori, Takaha and his son, it is really not easy for him to take advantage of the situation to rise again!"
There are so many such things in the jungle of the Warring States Period in Japan, so everyone just admires it and does not go into the possible conspiracies too deeply - even if someone sees that there is a conspiracy, they will only praise Sheng Long's wisdom and will not condemn its injustice!
In front of Li Yan, Katsuhiro Shimazu was always low-key and even acted poor. However, as soon as Li Yan left, his mental state became different!
He began to have money to build his Kagoshima Castle. The reconstruction work of Kagoshima Castle has become unique from the beginning of the planning. It is not so much a reconstruction, but rather a new city!
Shimazu Katsuhisa took out some gifts and borrowed Hinata Sozhan from Otoyo Yoshiki. The planner of the new city was this Hyuga country monk who had been to the Ming Dynasty.
Also, because it is close to Kagoshima Port and near the water tower, Katsura himself has a large amount of start-up capital, so the Shimazu family quickly became a very important part of the Nankyushu business circle. With commercial profits, the Shimazu family has seen the dawn of revival!
However, Imai Sohi also saw the disadvantages of Katsuhisa Shimazu!
The biggest disadvantage of Katsuhisa Shimazu is that there is no population near Kagoshima! And in this era, population is productivity! Without population, no matter whether it is production or war, it will be unsustainable!
Originally, under the maintenance of Li Yanzhi, the damage near Kagoshima was less than that in other places, but when Tian Huon heard that this place was to be assigned to someone, he took action overnight and moved all the population, which was not large inside and outside the city, to his own territory.
When Shimazu Katsuhisa entered Kagoshima Castle, there were only three families inside, and they were all homeless people who went into the city to hide from the wind and rain. Fortunately, he brought hundreds of people this time, so he would not enter the house empty-handedly. However, these hundreds of people were mainly combat and commercial teams, and there were no extra people to carry out agricultural activities! Although Shimazu Katsuhisa ordered some combat teams to farm on site after entering the city, relying on one or two hundred people to farm, the grain developed was very limited, and it was even better to buy grain from merchants based on the profits of commercial operations. However, the food for hundreds of people can still be bought. If it is to continue to develop in the future, buying grain alone will not be a long-term solution.
"It's not only that!" Imai Sokuhi thought that Katsuhisa Shimazu had a second disadvantage, that is, he was surrounded by the I family, the Ta family, and the Lian family! When he came back to rebuild the Shimazu family this time, he had lost the authority of the former Satsuma guardian. The I family, the Ta family, and the Lian family did not take him seriously at all. Not only could he not get help from these people, he was even restrained by them! And whether intentionally or unintentionally, I, the Ta family, and even the three families obviously had no good feelings for Katsuhisa Shimazu, and even had obvious precautions!
Fortunately, Viaki has the foreign aid of Otomo Yoshiki. Fortunately, there is a capable person behind him who can help him get new weapons, which makes his troops significantly better than I, Tian, and other families and has formed a certain deterrent force, which maintains a fragile balance.
However, guarding an empty city, the surrounding area was covered with clamping, which caused great trouble to the Shimazu family's road to revival!
"Is there really hope for the Shimazu family to be revived?" Katsuhiro himself was also suspicious.
Before he knew it, Shimazu Katsuhisa started drinking again - this was a bad habit he developed when he escaped to Fenghou. The general Shinna Tadaomi had shown great disappointment in this! With the arrival of Poshan, the situation changed, Poshan even helped him complete the impossible - to re-enter Kagoshima! All of these made Katsuhisa cheer up! He even married a wife in the Minhai area, and that wife gave birth to a son for him, which made Katsuhisa feel that he should stand up again, be responsible for his subordinates who are still following him, be responsible for his new subordinates, be responsible for his wife, be responsible for his son, and be responsible for his own honor!
However, people's bad habits will leave a mark of drug addiction in their lives. Now that they encounter difficulties and setbacks, Katsushimazu Katsuki will be reborn again!
When Shinna Tadao saw it, he quickly advised him, but it was useless! The most terrible thing was to break the mountain and go to the realm to buy food, but he had not come back yet. This made Shinna Tadao's disappointment with Shinzu Katsura re-emerge.
Shimazu Katsuhisa spent eleven or two days in the wine jar, and his wife and children ignored it, and did not care about Kagoshima's reconstruction work. It was not until this day that people heard someone say "Master Xuanmi is back", and they jumped up in shock. They wanted to find clothes to shave and rinse their mouths, but it was too late. Poshan had already opened the door and walked in.
Although his face was quite dusty, compared with Luo Tuo, who had been soaked in the wine jar for more than ten days and had a stubborn face, the young Poshan looked even more heroic!
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Poshan's question asked, Desheng covered his face with his sleeves. He said "六" twice in shame, but couldn't speak.
Poshan sighed softly, and did not ask what Katsuki was embarrassed about, but just reported: "Lord, great joy! This time I went to the realm and went ashore to Honan Temple. After some connections, I bought two ships of grain! They have been shipped back. Shinruzhai is counting and transporting it ashore. With this batch of grain, we don't have to worry about food for the next two years. Of course, if the population increases, we will have to open up new channels for purchasing grain. I think I will go to Hirado after the spring next year and check it out. Maybe I can buy a lot of grain there. If we can form a fixed channel for grain input, it would be even better."
The matter of Poshan was obviously handled beautifully, but the more capable he was, the more uneasy Shimazu Katsuhisa felt. He still covered his face and waved, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, you can do it!"
Poshan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly grabbed Katsujiu's hand and pulled him off, making Katsuji unable to avoid his eyes: "Lord! What's wrong with you!"
There was a thought that Shimazu Katsuhiro had circled in his heart several times. At this time, Poshan felt uncomfortable and blurted out: "Master, have you actually thought that staying with me is so wronged! If you can go to Otomo's house, you will definitely be able to use your talents there! If you go to Oto's house, you may be famous now..."
Before he finished speaking, Poshan opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Lord!"
This deafening roar seemed to wake up Shengjiu's last bit of alcohol. He stared at Poshan in a daze, and saw him angrily: "Where is the lord saying this to bring Poshan? The friendship between the monarch and the lord, the lord, the relationship between the lord and the lord, is originally a decisive state! How can it be shaken by the temporary good and bad times? When Liu Xianzhu was defeated by Changbanpo, did Zhuge Liang abandon him and surrender to Cao Cao? Sun Quan? Although Poshan's ability does not dare to compete with the Marquis of Wu, he is definitely not a person who is fickle! I hope the lord will cheer up and cheer up! Don't say such disheartening words in the future!"
Xinna Zhongmiao heard it outside the door and was very impressed by Poshan's loyalty and said in his voice: "No, lord! Master Xuanmie is not a person who is inclined to the flames and power? If he were such a person, he would not give up the easy and difficult things. He did not assist Otomo's family and the Da Nei family, but chose you lord!"
Shimazu Katsuhiro was urging this repeatedly, and his waist was straightened up, but he was still a little depressed. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll delay the mage!"
Poshan asked: "What delay?"
Katsuhisa Shimazu said: "Now we are in the city of troubled sorrow. Although the Shimazu family has rebuilt its name, the future is extremely slim. I am afraid that you will choose the wrong master, so I worked hard but ended up accomplishing nothing..."
"It is impossible to accomplish nothing!" Poshan's face was filled with confidence: "And our family's future is extremely bright, how could it be slim?"
Shimazu Katsuhisa still shook his head: "We are now being pinned down by the Yi family, Lian family, and Tian family. If they know that Li Jie was done by us, they will attack us..."
When Poshan heard Shengjiu say that Yi Lian and Tian Sanjia, he couldn't help laughing loudly. Shengjiu asked in surprise: "Why are you laughing?" Poshan smiled and said: "What are you worried about? It turns out that it is this! These three families are just Li Yan who conquered three puppies! It's easy to deal with them. Lord, you are actually worried about this, it's too unnecessary!"
Seeing that Katsushimazu was reluctant to believe it, he explained: "Lord, Li Yanzhi chose these three families to divide Satsuma evenly because all three families are incredibly outstanding. Tian Jung was violent and weak, Yi Zhonglang was wise and indecisive, and even the political year was mediocre and could not stand up and unify Satsuma! Li Yanzhi tied the strength of the three families, on the surface, for fairness, but in fact, it was also for them to restrain each other. The strength of the three families was comparable, and internal struggle was afraid of victory or defeat, but if they were unanimous to the outside world, it would be enough to protect Satsuma, the countryside.
Yanzhi wanted the situation to last for ten or eight years, and waited for him to succeed in the Central Plains before he could re-intervene in Japan's affairs! This was the wishful thinking of Li's surname! Without our existence, his arrangement would have been clever, but now this became our opportunity! The Li family lacked a powerful agent in Japan, and he was beyond his reach on the other end of the Ming Dynasty. With these three families and the little dog on Seed Island, Chen Ji from Hirado, he would definitely not kill us! So lord, you don't have to worry at all!"
Shimazu Katsuhisa said: "But if he makes a comeback after hearing the news..."
"No, he won't come again. I just calculated that he won't come again in the short term and took the goods." Poshan smiled and said, "Li Yanzhi came to Japan this time. Do you think he is really for Li Jie? In fact, he just took this opportunity to do what he planned in advance! Others are doing things from the Ming Dynasty!"
Shimazu Katsuhiro was confused, and Shinna Tadao didn't understand it, and asked: "He is doing things on the Ming side? What should I do with the Ming side in Japan?"
"He is doing the Ming Dynasty! Poor Japanese princes have seen through it." Poshan said: "Li Yanzhi took advantage of this trip to Japan and secretly integrated the power of the East China Sea by taking revenge as an excuse and opportunity. If what I expected was, he would have reached a secret agreement with the private merchants in the East China Sea before the war against the Shimazu family! The attack on Takaku is an audition and a running-in. If this cooperation fails, he has to find another way. If it succeeds, then he can return to the Ming Dynasty and let go of the figures according to the cooperation method! I know that he wants to take the Jinshi exam. Once he becomes an official, he will not be so free and cannot go to sea casually. That's why he wants to solve the worries at sea before entering the officialdom! Now he probably thinks he has succeeded!" He smiled and said: "It's a pity that this is just his wishful thinking! I won't let him get what he wants so easily!"
After listening to Poshan's analysis, Katsuhisa Shimazu gradually regained his confidence. He trusted Poshan's wisdom because this young mage had never missed it before! But when he thought about it, another worry emerged in his heart, saying: "With the mage here, I will definitely be able to deal with the attacks of Yi Lian and Tian, but our territory now lacks population! Without population, we cannot develop..."
"The most important thing in fighting for hegemony is not the population!" Poshan said: "The most important thing is political strategy, strategy, and strategy! With these three things, the population problem is not difficult to solve! When Shang Yang presided over the reform of Qin, did Qin also lack population? But he also solved it!"
Shimazu Katsuhiro asked quickly: "How did he solve it?"
"Salvation!" Another monk came to the door, but it was Kishimoto Nobura Nobura. When he saw him, Shimazu Katsuhira and Shinna Tadao were not surprised. Obviously they had known each other for a long time. Only Kishimoto Nobura Nobura said: "When Shang Yang was in charge of reform and rule, there was no population in Qin. He attracted population from other countries and developed agricultural wars, and ultimately helped Qin establish the cause of kingship and dominance!"
"But..." Katsuhisa Shimazu said: "But our situation is different from the Qin State hosted by Shang Yang. The Japanese countries and vassals have a small population, and everyone is very concerned about the population in the territory! Especially in the Nan Kyushu near us, after Li Yanzhi's trouble, the population was very small, and they were all concentrated in the hands of Yi, Tian, Lian, Ni, and Yidizhi. They would not be polite to us! If we lure the population from them, we would be very sorry to give them the excuse to attack us! Shang Yang's strategy of attracting us cannot be implemented!"
Poshan smiled slightly and said, "The reason why the lord thinks there is nowhere to attract the people is because he is limited to Japan! Yes, Japan lacks people, but why should we limit ourselves to Japan? Japan lacks people, we can go to the Ming Dynasty to recruit!"
Shimazu Katsuhisa and Shinna Tadaomoto were both startled by Poshan’s proposal: “Go to the Ming Dynasty to recruit?”
"Yes!" Poshan said: "Although the Ming Dynasty strictly controls household registration, the southeast area has few lands and many refugees, and there are extremely many refugees! In recent years, there has been a turmoil, and the court has long been unable to control it! There must be an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos! Speaking of the population size, the Ming Dynasty is like the sea, Japan is like a small lake, and Kagoshima is just a small pit in comparison! When the waves are surging, even if it only overflows a little and falls into Satsuma, it is enough to fill the small pit of Kagoshima, let alone we take the initiative to get it? Therefore, the recruitment plan must be feasible!" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author and support genuine reading!)
