- Chen Ke's biggest magic weapon in walking the rivers and lakes is to grasp the trend of history. Although he does not know much about this history, he can also see the future context of it from several major events.

In Chen Ke's memory, the current politics at the end of the Heian period was the transition from regency to court administration, and finally to shogunate politics, and the Heian period came to a complete end and entered the Kamakura shogunate period.

At this time, it should be the time when the politics of regency are at their peak, and then inevitably go downhill. What Chen Ke saw and heard in Ben completely confirmed this. On the one hand, the prestige of Sekibai Fujiwara Yoritsu is incomparable, close to deification. The Fujiwara family also held almost all the high positions in the imperial court and the local government. On the other hand, the Gongqing group, represented by the Fujiwara family, is corrupt and degenerate, and weak. In the face of the rebellions in the country, there is no power or intention to maintain the situation.

They voluntarily handed over government affairs to ordinary middle and lower-class bureaucrats, and tied their hopes of extinguishing the rebellion and maintaining power to the emerging samurai clique. This kind of self-abolition of martial arts obviously created the conditions for the later era of court administration. And God doesn't seem to help the Regent family, and has always held the position of empress, making the crown prince the grandson of the Regent family, and implementing the intervention of relatives in politics, which is the reason why the Fujiwara family can suppress the emperor for a long time. But Fujiwara Yoritsu's daughter has never given birth to a prince for the emperor.

As the emperor aged, it was inevitable that a new monarch would emerge who was not related to the Fujiwara family. And when the time comes, the Regent family will almost lose a cow like Lai Tong. Once the successor has the courage and promising, he will be able to unite the officials and samurai who have long been dissatisfied with the minister and take back power!

People can make progress, Chen Ke's current level of strategy has far exceeded that of his previous life, he used a few knowledge points, and only observed scaly claws. The context of the political situation was sorted out.

He is a Song man, and he is so attentive to the study of the book, not to be fed up, but to find a direction for future decision-making.

What he saw and heard made him feel that the Heian period was too good, and he really hoped that they could continue to be elegant for a long time...... But these flower-like and weak ministers are obviously not the opponents of the wolf-like samurai group. Not to mention anything else, the average life expectancy of people is seventy, and you can survive to death!

Fortunately, in this era, the samurai group is still only in its infancy. It's still decades before they're truly strong.

In this way, Chen Ke's strategy was also clearly revealed - that is, to help the minister suppress the samurai. Let the Heian period continue as long as possible.

Besides, only the minister is in power, and Ben will always be closed off from the country, so he can do whatever he does on Sado Island. It was Chen Ke who explained the reason for the minister's short life to Fujiwara Yoritsu and told him how to improve. This is the 'Chen Gong gave Guan Bai the 'Eight Methods of Raising Life' contained in the later history books, and taught the ministers to live a long life. The origin of the '.

Fujiwara Yoritsu was grateful. As the patriarch of the Regent family. His understanding of these conditions is only higher than Chen Ke's, and when he is safe and sound, he can also deceive himself and others and whitewash the peace. But once there is an incident, it will be exposed.

And as the ministers become more and more disagreeable. The resentment of the lower-class civil officials, samurai, and common people grew greater, and there were more and more rebellions in various places. If he wanted to suppress it, he had to rely on the samurai. The status of the samurai is getting higher and higher, and the ambitions are growing, and there are already signs of getting out of control.

In order to 'control the world and have a long period of luck', Fujiwara Yoritsu is planning painstakingly to prevent the samurai group from further expanding. For this reason, he secretly contacted the Kiyohara family, a wealthy family in Dewa Province. Prepare to deal a fatal blow to the Abe family from behind. In addition, Fujiwara Jingqing lost his way and returned, and when the time came, he would fight back. It should not take Genji's contribution to pacify Mutsu.

On the other hand, he is also looking for a good way to cheer up those unscrupulous descendants. …,

Therefore, Chen Ke's 'Eight Methods of Nourishing Life' is really a long drought and rain, which moved Lai Tong badly. What's more, he knows very well that Chen Ke's trip to Kyoto this month will definitely become a highlight moment in history, and if he is too stingy, he will inevitably be despised by future generations.

In fact, if you can use future generations, the ministers of the present world can drown him with foaming stars...... The other party gave Ben too much, so much that he didn't know how to repay it.

"I wanted to give Sado Island to my lords," Fujiwara Yoritsu wrote apologetically, "but it is an uninhabited island, and I can't express my reverence and gratitude to my lords, so I ......."

'Sado Island is enough! Chen Ke interrupted him with laughter, and wrote: "Xia Guan lacks nothing, and it is the best gift to be able to keep a good memory forever!" ’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten days later, Chen Ke returned to Nagaoka Castle, and in addition to more than 100 carts of gifts from the emperor, Guan Bai, and ministers, there were also 36 maids.

These maids, all sixteen or seventeen years old, handsome and graceful, were carefully selected and strictly trained since childhood, and were specially used to serve the emperor and the regents. What Chen Ke liked even more was that they didn't apply grease and powder on their faces, nor did they pluck their eyebrows or paint their black teeth, and they didn't look like they were out of harmony.

It's not that they don't want to dress up as nobles, they just don't have that qualification.

During Chen Ke's month in Kyoto, if there was anything that made him comfortable, it was these lovely maids, who really served him from his toes to his teeth and gave him emperor-like enjoyment. At this point, the maids and maids of the Great Song Dynasty are really incomparable.

Seeing that there was finally something that had entered his eyes, Fujiwara Yoritsu gave him all the batch he had just trained with a stroke of his pen.

Chen Ke, a guy who is greedy for enjoyment, naturally laughs.

After a short break at Nagaoka Castle, Fujiwara Nobuyoshi made a request to become his retainer: "Since Sado is already a lord, he can't live without a retainer, let Jingqing be Sado's first retainer." ''' is Ben's name for the lord.

Chen Ke didn't know much about this system at this time, and asked: "Can you change the court casually, not afraid of the court?" ”

"The fish and celebrities who came out of his subordinates are the outcasts who broke out." At this time, Fujiwara Jingqing finally told the truth: "After that, I never became a subordinate of any force, and now I am desperate, so I ask Sado to take him in." "Speaking of gambling curses and vows, I am willing to be loyal to Sado forever, life and death, no two hearts!

Thanks to Chen Ke's blessing, Fujiwara Jingqing finally got the understanding of the Regent family, and instructed him not to be exposed for the time being, waiting for the imperial court order. But this promise is not strong, the court can turn its face at any time, in order to add another insurance to himself, he decided to become Chen Ke's retainer.

This guy is very good at calculus, and feels that once Chen Ke returns to China, it will be almost impossible for him to set foot on this book again for the rest of his life. But his relationship with Chen Ke is the best talisman, and the court will not look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha in the future, nor will it turn his face and deny people. In this way, he can use the banner of Chen Ke, but in essence, he is still independent.

How could Chen Ke not know the careful thoughts of this guy? But he also has some ideas, after all, he needs a spokesperson in Ben to maintain a certain influence. In the long run, it is in their own interests to raise this guy.

So the two of them, each with their own thoughts, concluded an alliance between the lord and the minister. The next day, Chen Ke boarded the ship and left Echigo.

When passing through Sado Island, the Fu boat did not dock, and Chen Ke just overlooked the island that already belonged to him. said to Li Fan on the side: "Although there is a sea order, I have also ordered Fujiwara Jingqing not to approach Sado Island." But here, after all, under my nose, we must be cautious. Build a castle first, then mine gold in secret, and don't make a noise. ”

"Yes." Li Fan nodded and said, "But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if, what if they know?" ”…,

"Don't be afraid if you know, this island was given to me by Guan Bai in the name of the emperor, and this is my territory." Chen Ke said lightly: "Besides, they can't imagine that the gold mines here are enough to be mined for hundreds of years. As long as I maintain enough influence over Ben, no one will want to offend me. After a pause, he said: "Of course, the management of this island is the foundation. ”

"It's no problem to be solid, we have cement concrete." Li Fan smiled bitterly: "But there have to be talents, guarding the city and mining gold, at least 10,000 talents." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Chen Ke said: "Gold mining is not for anything else, as long as we publicize the policy of dividing fifty-fifty, Liaoguo, Goryeo, and the Great Song Dynasty will have people everywhere who are willing to take risks and make a fortune." I have asked a person to recruit people everywhere for me, and when the time comes, they will be concentrated on Tamna Island, and you can transport them here. After a pause, he said, "As long as there are more than 10,000 people on the island, there is no fear of any threat." But the premise is that the rules must be established well, and there must be no dishonesty. ”

"I understand that." Li Fan nodded and said: "It's the same for begging for food at sea, if you want your subordinates to listen to you, the premise is to be fair and selfless." ”

"Well, all the 200 Mamluk slaves you bought back are for you to use as a guard unit." Chen Ke said: "I'll give you another 800 bald troops, with these 1,000 people, you should have the bottom in your heart, right?" "Chen Ke implemented a recruitment system in the bald army, with a three-year period, and the first phase of next year will expire. When the time comes, these people who are willing to go home will go home, and those who are unwilling to go home can go to the Four Seas Firm as bodyguards. Chen Ke estimated that at least one or two thousand people would defect to the four seas by then.

"Then I'll be relieved." Li Fan said with a smile.

"In addition to Sado Island, you also have to pay attention to Tamna." Chen Ke said: "Two years ago, the people of Yici Leye infiltrated there, and you have to help them when necessary." "Tamna is a nation of merchants, and its kingdom is very weak. With Tamna in his hands, Sado Island is no longer an isolated island, and it can also monopolize trade between the Song and Liao dynasties.

"Yes." Li Fan responded repeatedly, for a long time, he had to support the overall situation alone-

Partition -

It's finally time to go back to Beijing...... Call. (To be continued)
