Chapter 173: Low Cost, High Return
Hearing Li Qing say this, the two suddenly felt much more relaxed, and after getting along for so long, they had already become instinctively convinced of Li Qing.
The great god said that if there is a way, there must be a way!
In fact, Li Qing really doesn't have a foolproof plan.
In this kind of pure hard power thing, the strategy or something is not of great use, and he really didn't plan to step on the Hosokawa clan to take the throne.
The reason for changing the strategy is because it is a good opportunity to leverage the strength.
He dared to take such a risk because this was not his own person, anyway, he was here to stir up the situation, as long as the strategic goal was achieved; As for the process and the loss, it was not in his consideration.
Of course, Li Qing is not a brute force, he does have some plans, but he is not yet mature.
Murakami said: "The great god might as well talk about the plan, let's prepare in advance, and we can better deal with it when the time comes." ”
Hearing this, Saburo Inoue also looked at Li Qing.
Li Qing looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl: "Don't worry, it's still a long time, it's useless to say it now, let you know too early, your behavior will unconsciously tend to implement the plan, which will expose the risk." ”
"If I don't trust you, the stakes are high, and you must be cautious and cautious!" Li Qing smiled, "You are all my right-hand men, when have I treated you badly?" ”
He patted Saburo Inoue and said, "You are the number one military general under me, now and in the future, no matter what level our power develops, no one will shake your status." ”
Saburo Inoue was full of blood and his face was flushed.
Then, Li Qing patted Murakami again, and said: "No matter how big our territory is in the future, you will be the number one in internal affairs!" ”
Murakami trembled and was inexplicably excited.
No wonder they are so gaffe, the temptation is too great.
Moreover, the great god is indeed willing to delegate power, and almost all of them don't care too much, as long as things are done beautifully, the great god never asks about the process.
On the surface, it's almost the same, if you can say that it's in the past, you can make a difference in secret, and the gods don't pursue it at all.
It's really atmospheric!
Li Qing dared to delegate power like this because he had been deified, and he was the person of power itself!
The power of the two is given by him, so they can only be attached to him.
Those who exercise power can only serve those who give power, and they must also be accountable to the source of power, otherwise, the edifice of power will collapse!
Li Qing said with a smile: "The training of the soldiers, the integration of resources, you just have to work hard, and leave the rest to me!" ”
"Yes!"
The two of them bowed down, full of energy, and even gave up taking advantage of it at this time.
In the future, their vision has become long-term, and they no longer care about temporary gains and losses.
The two glanced at each other and made a unified decision - to put aside their prejudices against each other for the time being!

If you want the horses to run, you have to let the horses eat grass, how could Li Qing not know about the two of them secretly making money, but he didn't care.
If the gods don't let people make money and don't give enough benefits, it is also difficult to mobilize people's enthusiasm.
Everyone in the world has a plan,
The Buddha also promised good fortune in the next life, and there is no unrequited effort in this world.
Whether it's the two of them, or those samurai, it's the same thing.
The reason why the warriors' combat effectiveness suddenly collapsed was that of course they were blessed by the extraordinary force of Li Qing, the great god, but the more important reason was that they could be promoted for their combat bravery, and they could be rewarded handsomely for promotion.
Interests are always the only weight that drives people.
These people dare to fight because they have the motivation to work hard, because their boss is generous, very generous!
Of course, Li Qing is generous, because he is generous to others, people are not people of the Ming Dynasty, and money is not the money of the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible to make it?
If it doesn't cost him a penny, it's just a person, and this cost can be said to be pitifully low.
"After this year, we have to exert our strength, overthrow the Muromachi shogunate at the end of next year, and then ...... Cut off the Emperor's inheritance and completely muddy the waters......"
Li Qing muttered to herself, her eyes bright......
~
"After this year, we have to exert force, first solve the public opinion, and then ...... Completely cut off the smuggling trade between the rich gentry and Japan, and concentrate the interests on the imperial court......"
Zhu Jianshen was secretly ruthless, and his eyes were cold.
He's been patient with some people for a long time, and it's time to take a tough stance......
The New Year is approaching, and the monarchs and ministers all abide by the unspoken rule of not looking for trouble during the New Year, and the Beijing division is peaceful.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily, Zhu Jianshen set up a hot pot in Kunning Palace, called a group of concubines, and fresh meat dishes, melons and fruits were placed on the case, and the taste of the year was very strong.
The harem has not been so lively for a long time, and even the Empress Dowager Zhou looks happy.
The crown prince Zhu Youzhu naturally came, but he was not very happy, because he might have a younger brother again.
Concubine Chen was very competitive and got pregnant again.
provoked the eyes of the concubines to be hot.
Now Concubine Chen's status can be said to be second only to the imperial concubine, and even Concubine Ji Shu can't catch up, as for the queen...... Sorry, marginal man!
Like officialdom, there are factions in the harem, one is the queen mother and the other is the emperor.
Although the Empress Dowager Zhou has nothing to do now, she is the master of the harem after all, and her influence is still strong.
Zhu Jianshen's energy is in the government and politics, and he is not very concerned about the harem, and he has always been kidney-oriented.
However, he only treats the concubines who are bent on him, and Concubine Chen is a good example.
In the end, it is his own wife, and the old lady is very peaceful now, Zhu Jianshen doesn't want to make an ugly scene, so he can only let these women know who he has a future with.
So far in the Ming Dynasty, there has not been a situation of chaos in the harem, before the Zhang family listened to the government, it was instructed by his son Zhu Zhanji, strictly speaking, it is not called chaos.
The emperor must not only manage the ministers, but also his wives!
These concubines are not illiterate village women, it can be said that all of them are literate and hyphenated, and they are not weak in reading, if they are really indulgent, the consequences are still very serious.
Zhu Jianshen's management of the harem is not strict, but it also effectively suppresses the restlessness of the concubines and does not give them a chance.
If the king and queen are just a puppet.
There is no political soil for politics at all, and even if his destiny is exhausted, Queen Wang still can't make waves, because she has no son.
In the same way, Concubine Ji Shufei can't make waves.
Because she's not a queen!
The Queen Mother is famous, but in terms of grade and status, she is still inferior to the Queen Mother.
Take the Empress Dowager Zhou as an example, she is powerful because the Empress Dowager Qian is not there, but whenever the Empress Dowager Qian returns to Beijing, her status will immediately decline, and she will even have to give up Kunning Palace.
This is the principle of law!
Now, Concubine Chen's momentum is very strong, and she has fought her way out of the encirclement against Concubine Ji Shu and Queen Wang, and she has a 'three-legged' trend.
It's just that she doesn't understand that she is Wan Zhen'er's substitute.
Wan Zhen'er is old, and Zhu Jianshen has no confidence to live past these pampered, careless, and enjoyable little wives, so she can only deploy in advance.
In order to avoid a hundred years later, the harem family is dominant!
He took such painstaking measures, on the one hand, because he had no confidence in his own lifespan, and on the other hand, he did not have confidence in his son.
Knowing his son is Mo Ruo's father, although he doesn't get along much, he has already seen through his son's temperament.
The position is not firm enough!
However, Zhu Jianshen was not very worried, he had already changed Concubine Ji's basic information......
I have to say that being an emperor is really tiring!
All sides must be balanced, and if any one side makes a mistake, the emperor will not be at peace.
It's a super hard job!
It is rare to relax for two days a year, and after lunch, Zhu Jianshen set up a few tables of 10,000 cakes and entertained himself......
In the thirteenth year of Chenghua, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The ministers greeted the New Year, and Zhu Jianshen sent red envelopes.
This year, Daming Company's year-end bonus has been slightly lowered, and the mood of the elite backbone is even lower, but they don't dare to pick thorns.
If you give it for nothing, you can steal the fun, how can there be a reason to rise every year?
Boss Zhu was also in a bad mood, and he didn't even say a word about the year-end summary.
Anyway, the relationship between the monarch and the minister has broken down, and he has to pinch it again soon, and he doesn't bother to pretend.
After a short annual vacation, the huge machine of Daming resumed operation again.
At the same time, evidence of the smuggling interest group's impeachment of Wang Zhi also came one after another, demanding that Zhu Jianshen dismantle the West Factory and behead Wang Zhi.
Zhu saw that there were no birds in the deep birds, but he just verbally said that he would rectify the West Factory, and there was no practical action at all.
The interest groups were not angry, but they did not dare to persecute too much, they were afraid of annoying the emperor, and they would make a one-size-fits-all approach to the smugglers, alas...... As long as you can keep your vested interests, take a step back!
It's a pity that Emperor Chenghua's specialty is that the enemy retreats and I advance!
While the interest groups retreated, Zhu Jianshen made a move.
With domestic funds, he ordered the magistrate to purchase the industrial chain of smuggling trade with Japan, and bought the entire industrial chain from raw materials, production, to overseas sales.
This trick is too deadly!
In a head-to-head showdown, interest groups can't fight the emperor, so they coerce the people to fight against the emperor together.
However, now that the imperial court has acquired these properties, it has put an end to the unemployment of the people caused by the elimination of smugglers.
When the interests of the people are protected, they will naturally not follow the coax and use the public opinion to oppose the plan of the imperial power, which will be completely ruined.
Not only that, the industrial chain they worked so hard to build is equivalent to directly packaging and sending it to the emperor, and the emperor can directly produce, sell, and make money.
Yes, the emperor spent a lot of money to buy, but the profit from trading with Japan was far greater than that with the court. Xian, Cochin and other countries are much larger.
It's really a low cost, a high return!
What's even worse is that the emperor handed over the management rights of these industries to the magistrates.
In this way, the magistrates have benefited, and the previous way of bribing the magistrates to open the door to convenience will not work.
The reason is simple, we can do it ourselves, so why should we cooperate with you?
With such a big fat difference, just keep a little bit of it, and it's much more than what you give!
What's more, this is still the emperor's will, do what you want to do with it, what can you do with us?
Zhu Jianshen's hand directly cut off the control of the Jingzhong interest group over the 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's control over the magistrates is not strong, and he will not give up this big cake to the magistrates......
