For several days, Li Qi inspected Yanshan Prefecture's agriculture, commerce, industry, and of course the ongoing military exercises. In addition, he went to the Commerce Bureau to have a look. Yanshan Prefecture was also a northern trade center.
Therefore, in the second year after regaining Yanshan Mansion, the Commerce Bureau came over.%
After inspecting everything, Li Qi silently sighed in his heart, Zongze really lived up to his reputation. The entire Yanshan Prefecture area was governed by him in an orderly manner, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It didn't look like the Yanshan Prefecture that was looted a few years ago!
Yanshan Prefecture Government Office.
Li Qi and his two beauties came to the back garden to see it. Even if it were in Tokyo, it would probably be smaller than the imperial palace. Although the palaces of Wang Fu and Cai Jing were also very large, they were in Kyoto after all. You can't be too unscrupulous.
, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were not easy to offend.
But Yanshan Mansion is different. The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away. You can do whatever you want. When Zhen Wuchen was here, he was the emperor, only wearing a yellow robe.
Li Qi couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that not only a hospital can be built here, but also a college can be built here."
Although this was his second time here, he was not in the mood to watch these things last time. He only came over to take a look after hearing what Zong Ze said. This time, he was really speechless secretly.
Zhao Jingyan hummed: "Zhen Wuchen really knows how to enjoy it, but--it's just that it will cost so many people's lives. It was really easy for him to let him die in the hands of Jin Bing."
"Behind luxury is always full of sweat and blood."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "So, even if he is a wise emperor, after all, he only has one pair of hands and one head, and it is difficult for him to take care of everything. I am afraid that even if the emperor breaks his brain, he will not even think that there is a small palace in Yanshan Mansion.
, this must be prevented by law. When the Song Dynasty can really rule the country by law, then this situation will not happen again. Even if it does happen, it will be a reciprocal exchange, a kind of rich
capricious."
Zhao Jingyan smiled slightly and said: "I think that day will not be far away. Once the Legislative Yuan truly matures, it will not be impossible to rule the country by law."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "The Legislative Yuan alone cannot do this. The quality of the people must be improved. Although fooling the people is easy to control, it cannot last long, because the fools can be fooled by you, and they can also be fooled by others. Once there is a disturbance, the world will be affected.
There will be chaos. If the people in the world are full of wisdom and can distinguish right from wrong, even a blind man sitting on a dragon throne can still govern the world."
Zhao Jingyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "If the emperor hears what you said, he will have to blame you."
Li Qidao: "Don't scare me. We in the Song Dynasty advocate the promotion of speech, and what I said is not wrong. Why does the emperor punish me?" At this point, his eyes suddenly turned to the back, and then he coughed lightly and said
: "You two have been following me for several days. You must be tired. Go wash up and take a rest. I will call you later when we have dinner. I will cook the dishes myself tonight to comfort you."
Liu Yunxi said bluntly: "You are not tired, how can I be tired?"
Li Qi's face suddenly became very embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Shi Niang, when will you know how to give face to your husband?"
Liu Yunxi said in surprise: "I'm just telling the truth, does this hurt your face?"
"Uh... pretend I didn't say anything." Li Qi suddenly hugged Liu Yunxi over, kissed her hard on the lips, and laughed, "You are the Wei Zheng beside me." As he said that, he looked at her again.
To Zhao Jingyan.
Zhao Jingyan hurriedly pulled Liu Yunxi and said: "Shi Niang, let's go quickly, this person is going crazy again."
Is this crazy? This is clearly in heat! It’s terrible to be uneducated.
After the two girls left, Li Qi immediately turned around and walked behind an arch door. He saw Ma Qiao standing there and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ma Qiao whispered: "People from Japan are coming."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "Let's go."
The master and servant quietly left the government office and came to the backyard of a small restaurant on the east side of Yanshan Mansion.
At this time, a man dressed as a shopkeeper was standing respectfully in the courtyard. When he saw Li Qi coming, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Little Fei Yang, see you, sir." He looked quite excited.
This Fei Yang was one of the first dog teams established by Li Qi. After he went north to organize the people to cross eastward, he stayed in the Yanyun area. Li Qi gave them money and asked them to open some foot shops.
, workshops, originally these things were used to hide from others, but these guys were all like masters when they were hanging around in Tokyo. The business of hiding from others is getting bigger and bigger. Originally it was just a foot shop. After a few years,
, it has reached the scale of a regular store.
This also fully illustrates the saying that Li Qi has unlimited soldiers.
Because Li Qi's criteria for employing people are very simple, that is, you must create value for me. If you can't, then you have to say goodbye. The relationship is good. I would rather give you money and support you than use you.
Li Qi glanced at this old face, feeling relatively happy in his heart, and jokingly said: "I said you people are really strange. It's only been a few years, and everyone has become so fat. Nanbowan is so fat."
, the same goes for you. In our line of work, you have to be smart and move quickly. When you become as fat as a pig, just hand me a letter of resignation so that we can get together and have a good time."
"Sir, I have been training diligently in the past few years, and my skills have not diminished at all. You see."
As he spoke, Fei Yang suddenly did a backflip on the spot, but his face was not red and he was not out of breath.
Li Qi was also shocked. After so many years, these guys really haven't changed at all. They are still so lively. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Awesome, awesome, you are much better than Nan Bowan. It seems that this boss
It’s time to replace someone.”
Li Qi had to make a joke about this skill, but Fei Yang was so excited that he quickly saluted and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir."
If Nang Bo Wan hears this, he will definitely wear small shoes for him, there is no doubt about it.
"Okay, okay, by the way, are you here?"
"Oh, there are people inside."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. Remember, don't let anyone in."
"Please don't worry, sir. Even a fly won't be able to get in under my care."
Li Qi had already stepped out, but when he heard these words, he took it back and asked curiously: "What if it flies in?"
"...!"
"Haha, I'm just kidding, go ahead."
"yes."
After Fei Yang left, Li Qi came to the house and knocked on the door.
"who?"
A very cautious voice came from inside.
"it's me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Standing behind the door was a boy.
This guy is the international spy Ji Yan.
After the door closed, Ji Yan immediately bowed.
"No need." Li Qi said with a smile, "You came quite quickly."
Ji Yan said respectfully: "Reporting to your lord, I originally wanted to go to Bianjing after landing in Laizhou, but the people in Laizhou said that you have already gone to Hunyuan Prefecture, so I planned to rush to Hunyuan Prefecture again.
Unexpectedly, when we passed by Yanshan Mansion, our people said that the adults had already arrived at Yanshan Mansion, so the villain came here."
"Very twisty."
Li Qi smiled and said: "I heard that that bullshit Emperor has already died. Japan must be very lively."
Ji Yan looked solemn and said: "Sir, Japan has started fighting."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi laughed and said: "Okay, it's good to fight. Now that I'm free, we need to fight anyway. It's better to fight sooner rather than later, so we don't get together again."
Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, then said: "But sir, the situation is not very good."
Li Qi frowned and said, "How do you say that?"
Ji Yan immediately told Li Qi the situation in Japan.
It turns out that the death of Emperor Shirakawa completely broke the balance of Japan. The imperial court was divided into two forces, one was his son, Emperor Toba, and the other was his grandson, Emperor Sotoku.
Emperor Toba once became the emperor. Because he tried to seize power from Emperor Shirakawa, but failed, Emperor Shirakawa was forced to give up the throne to Toba's son, Emperor Sutoku.
However, the Emperor Toba never gave up. Moreover, his wife was the daughter of the old noble Fujiwara clan. The two sides were still fighting, but the Emperor Shirakawa was cunning and cunning. He did not let the Emperor Toba succeed.
Now that he is dead, Emperor Toba has begun to take action again, intending to oust Emperor Sotoku.
But Hiroyuki Shirakawa was not a vegetarian. He had long been on guard against Emperor Toba's move. So when Iga and others entered the capital, Hiroyuki Shirakawa saw that his health was about to fail, so he secretly wooed the Taira clan, hoping that both the Taira clan and the Genji clan would be harmed.
The great samurai group turned their conflicts into friendship and jointly assisted the young Emperor Sutoku in his fight against Emperor Toba.
Of course, the Ping family hoped that this would be the case. After all, they did not want a one-on-three situation, so they agreed.
After arranging this, Emperor Shirakawa died, and conflicts immediately surfaced.
The old nobles headed by the Fujiwara clan were sworn enemies of the samurai group. They tried their best to help Emperor Toba and fight against the samurai group. However, the samurai group had also grown, and originally the strength of the two sides was relatively balanced.
However, in the middle of the night, a major change suddenly occurred within the samurai group. The Minamoto warriors suddenly turned against each other and almost captured the head of the Taira clan, Taira Takarazaki. Although Taira Takarazuka escaped from the Gyeonggi area with the help of a group of close associates,
The five hundred warriors who had been following Ping Zhongzheng were almost completely wiped out.
Hearing this, Li Qi smiled and said: "It seems that the Genji has surrendered to Xiaotiao, but the Taira are too careless. With our help, they have surpassed the Genji in power. There is no room for two tigers in this mountain, even if Emperor Sutoku wins the final victory."
If the Taira clan wins, then the Taira clan will definitely ride on the head of the Genji clan. However, there is no conflict between the samurai group and the Fujiwara clan. The samurai are soldiers and Fujiwara is a noble. The two complement each other. Once the Taira clan falls, then the Genji clan will be one family in the samurai clan.
If you are alone, you must have a lot of power, so it is reasonable for Genji to seek refuge with Xiaotiao."
Ji Yan nodded and said, "What you said is exactly right."
Li Qidao: "Then what's the situation now?"
Ji Yan replied: "After Taira Taira escaped, Emperor Toba took control of Emperor Sotoku and told the world that the Taira clan colluded with the Song Dynasty to invade Japan and ordered troops to conquer the Taira clan. In fact, on that night, Genji
They had already taken a preemptive strike and sent the main force to attack the Taira clan's base camp, that is, the Iga and Ise areas, intending to clear out the Taira clan's forces in the Kanto region.
Because the Taira clan never expected that the Genji would suddenly switch sides, they were completely unprepared. They were caught off guard by the opponent. They lost consecutive battles and had already withdrawn from the Gyeonggi region. Although the war is still going on in the Kanto region, the Taira clan is no longer able to do so.
If we establish a foothold here, it will only be a matter of time before we defeat Hokuriku. This Hokuriku region is the last base of the Taira clan. All of the Taira clan's trade is concentrated in Hokuriku, including maritime power, which also has two largest ports.
"
"port?"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "The Ping family won't be so vulnerable, right?"
Ji Yan said: "The current battle situation is very fierce, and you don't know it. In the battle in Kantung, most of the elite members of the Taira clan were lost. Now they are reorganizing their troops in the Hokuriku. However, in my opinion, it is difficult for the Taira clan alone to stop the Genji clan."
There is a large army, oh, when I came here, I heard that the Ping clan was preparing to send people to the Song Dynasty and Goryeo."
Li Qi rubbed his chin and said: "It seems that I have to go to Laizhou as soon as possible. Alas, I didn't expect that the Ping family was so stupid that they were kept in the dark. I overestimated them. Fortunately, Jin Jun didn't
Call me, otherwise, the Japanese plan will completely fail, and all my previous efforts will be in vain. Thank you so much for God's blessing." (To be continued...)
