There is no hatred without a reason, and there is no love without a reason.

Li Yan couldn't shelter her just because Tamamo gave her two giraffes, after all, she was guilty of the entire Japanese leadership, including her former husband Emperor Toba.

Amazao also knew that she had nothing to do with Li Yan, except for herself, she couldn't expect Li Yan to take a fancy to the more than 300 samurai and a dozen broken sampans of their Sakabe family, right?

Therefore, many things are natural, such as Yuzao becoming Li Yan's concubine.

Of course, when it comes to Li Yan's current status, taking concubines cannot but consider the political influence.

It is said that if you take into account the political influence, Li Yan should not actually accept Yuzao as a concubine, no matter what, the opposite of Yuzao is a country, and it is too worthless for a woman.

But if you complain, you can complain that the Japanese authorities have gone too far.

It's just that they have a closer relationship with Goryeo, after all, they have been friendly for many years.

But they should never have issued a series of relevant bans against Li Yan's Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, such as:

Sea-crossing system - Japanese officials and nationals are strictly forbidden to go to sea, and they are not allowed to have any intersection with the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.

Prohibition of Purchases - Ministers are strictly forbidden to snap up goods from the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate without government pricing.

Age Determination - The number of trips to Japan was strictly limited to the number of times merchants from the Andong Prefecture were allowed to go to Japan (only once a year).

These bans seriously affected the trade of the Andong Prefecture with Japan, and also deprived the Andong Prefecture of a big way to make money.

Of course, these bans were not only imposed on Li Yan himself, but also on the Song, Liao, Jin and other countries - in fact, since the Anshi Rebellion, Japan has begun to impose these bans on the Central Plains regime.

If Japan really treats everyone equally and closes off the country, Li Yan may endure it, and the key is that Japan and Goryeo and other countries still maintain active official exchanges.

That's a bit of a bully.

You must know that now Li Yan's Andong Protectorate is Japan's neighbor, and Goryeo is no longer Japan's neighbor.

But Japan just doesn't bird Li Yan, and still interacts frequently with Goryeo.

Can this not make Li Yan worry that Goryeo will unite with Japan to attack him left and right?

You know, in the Tang Dynasty, Japan did something similar.

Since Japan doesn't bird itself, it may become its own enemy, Li Yan simply accepted Yuzao, in case he did Japan one day in the future, there is an excuse that it is not, and he can get a peerless beauty even if he is not good.

Of course, Li Yan also knew in his heart that it was impossible to fight Japan at present, Goryeo had not yet been done, and if he went to fight Japan again, he would have to go to war at both ends, in that case, it would be a big trouble, and he might not be destroyed by Goryeo and Japan together.

Therefore, before Li Yan accepted Yuzao, he was actually happy with himself.

But—

What Li Yan didn't expect was that it was this almost righteous act that allowed him to pick up a treasure.

What treasure?

Naturally, it is Tamamo front.

Needless to say, this woman is beautiful, otherwise she would not be able to be called the number one beauty in the world, the key is that she is also smart and close to demons.

She knows a lot, many things that even Li Yan, a person who travels through, doesn't understand, and the most peculiar thing is that no matter what, she can learn it as soon as she learns, especially languages, like Pengjialuo, which she only learned in a little more than a month, and it was without translation.

Her IQ is even comparable to Liu Huiniang, the difference is that she does not have Liu Huiniang's research and development ability, and Liu Huiniang does not have her language talent.

In view of the fact that she was so smart, Li Yan simply asked her to be his secretary with Master Li to help him deal with government affairs.

This time, I had a win-win situation with Zhao Ji, and finally completely solved the biggest hidden danger of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.

Li Yan and a group of civil officials conducted a comprehensive examination of the 1,500 Taitai students (mainly from the two aspects of virtue and talent), and then assigned them to various sites in Shuibo Liangshan, including Liangshan Dazhai, according to the results of the examination.

At this point, Li Yan and his gang have finally completely advanced from a group of bandits to an emerging force with infinite potential.

After personally meeting with these 1,500 Tai students one by one, and personally sending them to work, Li Yan began to care about the settlement of those craftsmen and shipwrights.

After the craftsmen and shipwrights were all properly settled, Li Yancai returned to Shuibo Liangshan again.

As soon as he arrived at Shuibo Liangshan, Li Yan heard a major event from Zhu Gui - Chai Jin fell to Gaotang Prefecture, and Erlongshan was attacking Gaotang Prefecture to save Chai Jin.

It turns out -

Not long after Li Kui stayed in Chai Jin Village, Chai Jin received news that Yin Tianxi, the wife and uncle of Gao Lian, the governor of Gaotang Prefecture, relied on his power and wanted to seize the garden of his uncle Chai Huangcheng, and also beat Chai Huangcheng.

When Chai Jin heard the news, he immediately went to Gaotang Prefecture with Li Kui.

Chai Huangcheng died of anger, and Chai Jin asked people to go back to Cangzhou to get the Danshu iron coupon, intending to go to Tokyo to sue the emperor.

But during this period, Yin Tianxi came to make trouble again and scolded Chai Jin.

As a result, he was beaten to death by Li Kui.

Chai Jin hurriedly asked Li Kui to leave, but he himself was arrested by Gao Lian, and then tortured into a trick and put on death row.

Song Jiang heard that Chai was imprisoned and sent troops to attack Gaotang Prefecture.

If there was no Li Yan, Song Jiang and his gang at this time would already have 10,000 or 20,000 horses, and there were dozens of heroes, and it would be almost the same to attack Gaotang Prefecture.

The current Song Jiang gang, with only more than ten heroes and five or six thousand soldiers and horses, was too reluctant to attack Gaotang Prefecture, so that they failed to defeat Gaotang Prefecture for three or four months.

Not only that, but they also killed and injured nearly half of them.

Someone may want to ask, it's all like this, Song Jiang is still beating Mao Gaotang Prefecture, hurry up and go home, save yourself from being embarrassed in Gaotang Prefecture.

The person who said this didn't understand Song Jiang's current situation.

If it weren't for Chai Jin's excellent excuse, Song Jiang, who had lost troops in Zhujiazhuang last time, would not have had the opportunity to lead the troops alone, so he naturally couldn't give up this opportunity easily, because once he gave up, he might never have the opportunity to lead the troops alone.

In addition, Song Jiang also has the idea of turning over all of a sudden-not to mention, after laying down Gaotang Prefecture, they will be able to have the wealth of a state in Erlongshan, just say that if they save Chai Jin, Chai Jin will only have one way to go to Erlongshan, and as long as Chai Jin goes to Erlong Mountain, then Chai Jin's huge family property is also Erlongshan's, with the wealth and property of Gaotang Prefecture and Chai Jin, Song Jiang can turn over in one fell swoop and become one of the few forces in the Great Song Green Circle, and then he can seek Zhao'an, and then he will be the wife and son of Guangzong Yaozu......

It can be said that Song Jiang is now completely a gambler.

What Song Jiang is not important to Li Yan.

Importantly, what should Li Yan do?

You must know that Chai Jin is also the benefactor of Shuibo Liangshan, and the start-up capital of Shuibo Liangshan is given by Chai Jin, and it would be ungrateful not to save Chai Jin.

However, if you go to save Chai Jin, you will inevitably attack Gaotang Prefecture.

Fight, Li Yan is not afraid, and it is impossible not to beat it.

But the problem is that Li Yan has just stabilized the Great Song Dynasty and is ready to bury his head in developing for a while, and he doesn't want to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty for the time being.

What to do?
