"Whew......" I exhaled deeply, moving my somewhat numb arm at the same time. I am really a little unaccustomed to becoming a high-ranking minister, and the details are reflected in many aspects.

The samurai's costumes were mostly compact, and even formal dresses were tightened in most parts, so they were relatively easy to wear on a regular basis. The official court clothes of the ministers are different, with wide sleeves fluttering and crown belts, which looks quite free and elegant, but in fact it is quite tiring. If you really don't have a little kung fu like singing Peking Opera, you may trip over yourself at some point.

In the past, although I wore court clothes a few times from time to time, each time it was not so long, and the feeling was naturally not so obvious. Now it's different, my Royal Highness the Qing Clan, the minister of the Left Mansion of the Stars, naturally has to be a little magnificent.

"You'd better rest a little longer!" Xianzhi looked at me and picked up the crow hat again, and said with some distress: "Takenaka, Gamu, and Murai are not outsiders, what can I do to leave them to talk about when they eat!" ”

"People in the temple, they can't help themselves!" I let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "The three of them are indeed not outsiders, but there are other guests during the dinner for a while, and some words are not so easy to say!" ”

"That'...... You just go over first! Although Xianzhi looked a little unbearable, he still said this in the end.

I stood up and tugged at my collar, and was about to put the black hat on my head, but after thinking about it, I put it back on the table.

The hat was tall and flat, and my head was round, so I couldn't always wear it deeply. The direct consequence of this situation is that it is very likely to fall off if you don't pay attention, and if you want to keep it stable, you will get old and stiffen your neck, and the taste is very uncomfortable! It's just three old subordinates, and it's not a big deal to wear a hat or not. With that in mind, I went out and walked towards the flower hall.

Prince Zhouren's crown ceremony was presided over by me, which attracted many people to watch the ceremony, which has not happened in the court for many years, so the issue of royal succession, which no one cared about, attracted a lot of attention.

I secretly ordered someone to collect it, and there were many rumors in various places, one of the most unpleasant of which was: Zhuxing Qing clan knew that he was from a humble background and did not dare to be a general of Zhengyi, and only bought a prominent position from the imperial court by bribery! I don't have any particular refutation of this kind of thing, because it doesn't bring any real harm other than a personal insult.

In this way, after another period of time, the fluctuations in the hearts of all parties brought about by my ruling of the world finally gradually calmed down. At this time, I was finally able to do something of my own, and in May I left Nobukiyo in Kyoto and slipped away to Sakai Town.

"Meet the Lord!" Seeing me come in, Takenaka Hanbei, Gamo Township, and Murai Sadakatsu came together.

"Alright, let's all get up!" I told them casually, even though I knew that there were many things that could not be brought back to the past. "I've brought you here to discuss something, and although we must start working now, we must keep it out of sight!" I motioned for them to come closer and come across the table.

"Yes, please command!" Hanbei Takenaka replied in place of the other two.

"In fact, the first thing is to establish prestige among small, medium, and small wealthy families in various places, and I have talked to you all about it before the period!" At this point, I snorted and sneered twice, and tapped my hand on the table. "I'm not a descendant of the Genji or Taira clans, and this seems to some elm heads to be usurped people, and I can do it if I make up a set of origins, but doing so at this time will inevitably give people more authority. My idea is to gradually reverse this trend by first planting a large number of 10,000 or even a few thousand stone of our personnel in various places over a period of two to three years. Then I will gather the daimyo of the world, and they will ask the imperial court for me to open the shogunate! ”

"It can be done this way, but it's not easy!" Takenaka Hanbei said with deep concern: "With the Taira clan and Genji alternately ruling the world, this has almost become a cognition like the alternation of the sun and the moon, and it is very likely that if you want to change, it will cause panic in the world. Therefore, I would like to implore the lord to focus on the people's livelihood in the past few years, and not to arouse the slightest suspicion of the people's 'providence'! ”

"The minister also agrees with His Highness Takenaka's opinion, and there will definitely be no shortage of people who intend to create rumors at that time!" The Gamo clan also nodded, but his expression was more excited. In addition, in the name of stabilizing the local inventory of bandits, the lord can send personnel to inspect the situation in various countries, and to spy on the movements of wild samurai in various places, and secretly monitor the private activities of various daimyo retainers. As long as they are afraid to act in the past few years, it will not be so easy to connect with various relationships when they want to make a move! ”

"This is a good idea, and you can be an envoy to the nations in my name!" I was very interested in this proposal, which I had not thought of at the previous stage. "The ninja system is necessary, but when you say it, you always think of something bad. I think it would be better to set up an organization that nominally manages public security issues, and then gradually develop it to the various feudal states in the future! ”

"Build a ...... A nationwide six-pole probe? Takenaka Hanbei was a little puzzled. I asked with some concern.

"No, it's not like that!" I shook my head and dismissed his speculation, as a time-traveler I know the dangers of the KGB. "The Six Poles are both an executive and a referee, which is very likely to make too much power and end up putting everyone in danger, which is not what I want. It is necessary to have both a system of supervision and social harmony! ”

"Oh......" Takenaka Hanbei seemed relieved to hear me say this.

"What kind of system will be adopted in this regard is a later story, and at present we want to make them suspicious!" I let out a sigh of relief and looked at the three people opposite. "Our main task in the past three years is to strengthen the foundation and prepare for the opening of the government in three years. I have already said just now that the clan will inspect the world, and you will continue to assist Xinqing, and when I am not there, the two of you can make a full decision as long as you agree on the same opinion! ”

"Yes!" The two of them agreed together, and the Gamo clan thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know what kind of policy to adopt after the lord established the shogunate, is it the same as the previous dynasty relied on the shogunate in various places?" ”

I didn't answer the question right away, and there was silence in the room for a moment, which was a big question, and maybe they thought I hadn't figured it out or didn't know how to say it. They were waiting for me there, and they were very focused. Actually, they were all wrong, and I don't know whether to say it or not.

My idea is to in fact abolish the current system, but the three people in front of me are all vested interests in this system, can they understand what I am saying? It may even be because of a sentence that creates a gap, one crack after another, and eventually leads to the collapse of the entire embankment.

But can I choose? It didn't seem like that was going to work, I couldn't have done it without help. The great pyramid of Khufu could not have been built by the strength of one man, even the one who could spin the entire earth with just one fulcrum.

By chance, I looked up and saw three pairs of eyes in front of me, three pairs of eyes full of hope and burning enthusiasm. It was at this moment that I made a decision, a decision from which there was no turning back. "I'm not going to rely on leadership, inquiry, and guardianship, even though these titles can be kept as an honor!" I reached out with both hands, then pulled inward and clenched into fists in front of me. "I want to take all the power into my own hands, and I will have the final say in everything alone!"

"Oh?" The gazes of the three of them turned to surprise, or rather inexplicability. Perhaps all three of them are very knowledgeable and have read a lot of Chinese books, but they have never been abroad, so it is impossible for them to truly understand the world outside of Japan.

"I have one more thing to tell you now, that is, the imperial court will soon issue an edict to abolish Dazaifu!" I said softly. I was relieved that they were just puzzled, or at least that they weren't that resistant.

"This ...... Does it matter? Murai Sadakatsu couldn't help but ask.

Dazaifu was the only institution established by the imperial court for foreign exchanges, but now it exists in name only, and it seems that it has little to do with whether it is abolished or not. Since I brought it up at this time, I naturally wanted to tell them that I was secretly leading this matter, but is there any need for this?

"Dazaifu really doesn't mean much, and the current foreign trade is basically carried out by the daimyo on their own...... "I was suddenly interested, and a lot of inspiration came to my mind one after another." No one cares about abolishing this institution now, and that's exactly what I liked, but after I established a new shogunate, there was a need to re-establish a similar organization under the direct authority of the shogunate. It may have been that this organization was very imperfect and limited in its capacity at first, but at most it was in Sakai Town, Ishiyama, Hirado, and Hakata, but it was only expanded on the basis of the current Sakai Town Joint Management Organization. But don't be in a hurry, slowly this agency will extend its tentacles to all the harbors and towns of the various feudal states, monopolizing foreign trade and customs revenue. With the advancement of the integrated internal and external tax system, all foreign feudal domains were eventually squeezed out of the commercial sphere, whether it was management power or monopoly trading of resource commodities. Such an institution must be guaranteed, and then the right to regional policing ......"

As my narration deepened, the eyes of Takenaka Hanbei, Gamo Clan, and Murai Sadakatsu gradually changed from dazed to stunned, and finally to excitement and admiration. This is a feeling that only they can have when I started a business with me, and I don't know if I can pass it on to their heirs!

"In this way, it will create an unprecedented prosperity!" Murai Sadakatsu was so excited that he trembled.

"So...... Doesn't seem perfect, right? After thinking about it repeatedly, Takenaka Hanbei asked.

"Of course it's more than that!" I confidently said, "In 20 years, I will take back all the rights to mine the five types of minerals nationwide, including gold, silver, copper, iron, and sulfur, into the hands of the shogunate!" ”
