Hearing what Li Qing said, the two of them immediately felt much more relaxed. After spending so long together, they had already instinctively convinced Li Qing.
If God says there is a way, there must be a way!
In fact, Li Qing really doesn't have a foolproof plan.
In this matter of pure strength, tactics and the like were of no use at all, and he really had no intention of stepping on the Hosokawa family and ascending to the throne.
The reason for changing the strategy is that this is a good opportunity to leverage our strength.
He dared to take such a risk because this was not one of his own. He was here to disrupt the situation anyway, as long as the strategic goal was achieved; as for the process and damage, it was not within his scope of consideration.
Of course, Li Qing was not reckless. He did have some plans, but they were not yet mature.
Takumi Murakami said: "The master might as well tell you the plan. Let us prepare in advance so that we can better deal with it when the time comes."
Hearing this, Saburo Inoue also looked at Li Qing.
Li Qing looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hand: "There is no rush, there is still a long time, and it is of little use to say it now. If I let you know too early, your behavior will unconsciously tend to implement the plan, which will risk exposure. ”
"It's not me who doesn't trust you. The matter is very important, so we must be more cautious!" Li Qing said with a smile, "You are all my right-hand men. How often have I treated you badly?"
He patted Saburo Inoue and said, "You are my number one general now and in the future. No matter what level our power develops, no one can challenge your position."
Saburo Inoue's blood was surging and his face was flushed.
Then, Li Qing patted Murakami Takumi again and said, "No matter how big our territory is from now on, you will be the leader in internal affairs!"
Takumi Murakami was trembling all over, feeling inexplicably excited.
Don't blame them for being so rude, the temptation is too great.
Moreover, the great master is really willing to delegate power and rarely takes care of things. As long as things are done beautifully, the great master never cares about the process.
On the surface, it's almost the same, so long as you can put it past it, the master will not pursue it at all if you gain benefits secretly.
Really awesome!
Li Qing dares to delegate power like this because he has been deified, and he is power itself!
The power of the two of them was given by him, so they can only rely on him.
Those who exercise power can only serve those who give the power, and must also be responsible to the source of power, otherwise, the building of power will surely collapse!
Li Qing smiled and said: "Train troops when you need to train, and integrate resources when you need to integrate resources. Just work hard and leave the rest to me!"
"yes!"
The two of them bowed in response, so full of energy that they even gave up trying to gain benefits at this time.
With a promising future, they have also taken a long-term view and no longer care about short-term gains and losses.
The two looked at each other and made a unanimous decision - to temporarily put aside their prejudices against each other!

If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass. How could Li Qing not know that the two of them were secretly making money, but he didn't care.
If the master doesn't let people make money and doesn't give them enough benefits, it will be difficult to mobilize their enthusiasm.
Everyone in the world has their own plans,
The Buddha also promised blessings in the next life. There is no such thing as giving without expecting anything in return.
Whether it's the two of them or the warriors, it's all the same.
The reason why the warriors' combat effectiveness suddenly collapsed was because of the extraordinary force of the great god Li Qing, but the more important reason was that bravery in combat could lead to promotion, and promotion could bring generous rewards.
Interest is always the only weight that drives people.
These people dare to fight because they have the motivation to fight, and because their boss is generous, very generous!
Of course Li Qing is generous, because he is generous to others. He is not a member of the Ming Dynasty, and the money is not the Ming Dynasty's money. How can he make it?
It doesn't cost him a penny, just one person. The cost can be said to be pitifully low.
"After this year, we have to exert our efforts to overthrow the Muromachi shogunate by the end of next year, and then... cut off the emperor's inheritance and completely muddy the waters..."
Li Qing whispered to himself quietly, his eyes bright...
~
"After this year, we must exert our efforts to first resolve the public opinion, and then... completely cut off the smuggling trade between the wealthy gentry and Japan, and concentrate the interests on the court..."
Zhu Jian was furious secretly and his eyes were cold.
He has tolerated some people for a long time, and it’s time to take a tough stance...
The New Year is approaching, and the emperor and his ministers all abide by the unspoken rule of not looking for trouble during the New Year, and the capital is peaceful.
It snowed heavily on New Year's Eve. Zhu Jianshen set up a hot pot in Kunning Palace and invited all his beloved concubines. Fresh meat, vegetables, fruits and snacks were placed on the table, which gave a strong New Year flavor.
The harem has not been so lively for a long time, and even the Queen Mother Zhou looked cheerful.
Prince Zhu Youtang naturally came, but he was not very happy because he might have a younger brother again.
Concubine Chen was very proud and got pregnant again.
It made all the concubines jealous.
Nowadays, Concubine Chen's status can be said to be second only to Concubine Huang, not even Concubine Ji Shu. As for Concubine Wang... Sorry, marginalized!
Just like the officialdom, there are also factions in the harem, one is the queen mother, and the other is the emperor.
Although Empress Dowager Zhou is no longer busy now, she is still the master of the harem and her influence is still strong.
Zhu Jianshen focused all his energy on government affairs and was not very concerned about the harem. He always focused on his kidneys.
However, he only treats concubines who are devoted to him. Concubine Chen is a good example.
After all, it was his mother, and she was very peaceful now. Zhu Jianshen didn't want to cause an ugly scene, so he could only use this method to let these women know who they followed had a future.
So far in the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a case of chaos in the harem. Zhang's previous political affairs were under the instructions of his son Zhu Zhanji. Strictly speaking, that is not called chaos.
The emperor should not only take good care of his ministers, but also his wives!
These concubines are not illiterate village women. It can be said that all of them are literate and talented. If they are really indulged, the consequences will be very serious.
Zhu Jianshen's management of the harem was not strict, but he effectively suppressed the restlessness of the concubines without giving them any chance.
Queen Wang is just a puppet.
There is no political soil for intervening in politics. Even if his destiny is exhausted, Queen Wang still cannot make trouble because she has no son.
In the same way, Concubine Ji Shu cannot afford to make waves.
Because she is not a queen!
The Queen Mother Queen Mother may sound famous, but in terms of rank and status, she is still inferior to the Queen Mother Queen Mother.
Take Empress Dowager Zhou for example, she is great because Empress Dowager Qian is not here. Whenever Empress Dowager Qian returns to Beijing, her status will immediately drop, and she may even have to leave Kunning Palace.
This is legal principle!
Nowadays, Concubine Chen is very powerful. She is fighting against Concubine Ji Shu and Queen Wang to break out of the tight siege, and she has the potential of a 'three-legged alliance'.
It's just that she doesn't understand yet that she is Wan Zhen'er's replacement.
Wan Zhen'er is getting old, and Zhu Jianshen has no confidence in surviving these pampered little wives who don't care and enjoy themselves all day long, so he can only make arrangements in advance.
In order to prevent oneself from becoming the dominant harem family in a hundred years!
He worked so hard because he had no confidence in his own lifespan, and on the other hand he had no confidence in his son.
No one knows his son better than his father. Although he doesn't get along very much with him, he has already seen through his son's temperament.
The position is not firm enough!
However, Zhu Jianshen is not too worried. He has already changed the basic information about Concubine Ji Shu...
I have to say, being an emperor is really tiring!
All aspects must be balanced. If there is any flaw in any party, the emperor will find it difficult to rest.
This is a very demanding profession!
It’s rare to relax for two days a year. After lunch, Zhu Jianshen laid out several tables of cakes and bars and devoted himself to entertainment...
In the thirteenth year of Chenghua, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The ministers paid New Year's greetings, and Zhu Jianshen sent a red envelope.
This year, Daming Company's year-end bonus has been slightly lowered. The already low mood of the elite backbone has become even lower, but they do not dare to find fault.
Just have fun for free, how can there be any reason for the price to rise every year?
Boss Zhu was also in a bad mood and didn't even say a few words about the year-end summary.
Anyway, the relationship between monarch and minister has been broken down, and they will soon have to fight again, so he is too lazy to pretend.
After the short annual vacation, the huge machine of Ming Dynasty resumed operation again.
At the same time, evidence of crimes against Wang Zhi from smuggling interest groups came one after another, and they asked Zhu Jianshen to abolish the West Factory and kill Wang Zhi.
Zhu Jianshen was completely unimpressed. He only talked about rectifying the West Factory, but did not take any practical actions.
The interest groups were not angry, but they did not dare to push too hard. They were afraid of offending the emperor, so they would punish the smugglers across the board. Alas... As long as you can protect your vested interests, take a step back!
It's a pity that Ren Chenghua Emperor's specialty is to retreat when the enemy retreats and we advance!
While the interest groups gave in, Zhu Jianshen took action.
With internal funds invested, local officials were ordered to purchase the industrial chain of the smuggling trade with Japan, from raw materials, production, to overseas sales.
This move is so fatal!
In a head-on confrontation, interest groups cannot defeat the emperor, so they coerce the people to fight against the emperor.
However, now that the imperial court has acquired these industries, it has eliminated the unemployment caused by the suppression of smugglers.
The interests of the people were protected, so they would naturally not follow the plan to use public opinion to fight against the imperial power, which was completely ruined.
Not only that, the industrial chain they worked so hard to build is equivalent to directly packaging it and giving it to the emperor, who can directly produce, sell and make money.
Yes, the emperor spent a lot of money to acquire it, but the profits from trade with Japan were much greater than those with North Korea, Cochin and other countries.
It can be said to be: low cost, high return!
What's even more terrible is that the emperor handed over the management rights of these industries to local officials.
In this way, the local officials have benefited, and the previous method of bribing local officials to open the door to convenience will no longer work.
The reason is simple. Why should we cooperate with you when we can do it alone?
With such a big fat difference, if you just keep a little bit, it will be much more than what you give me!
What's more, this is still the emperor's will. We must act in accordance with the order. What can you do to us?
With this move, Zhu Jianshen directly cut off the control of the interest groups in Beijing over local officials in Jiangnan.
However, this is only Zhu Jianshen's expedient measure.
In this era when it is difficult for imperial power to go to the countryside, the emperor does not have strong control over local officials. He will not give up this big piece of cake to local officials...
