"I?"

Jia Xu pointed his finger at himself and confirmed with Li Ji again.

Li Ji acted like a gentleman and said sincerely. "Apart from Wen He, there is really no second thought in Yingzhou."

Jia Xu opened her mouth, intending to refute Li Ji, but then realized that Li Ji was right.

In terms of ability, Li Ji and Jia Xu were naturally capable of secretly manipulating the Japanese state to implement the "caste system." However, the implementation of the "caste system" was not just the general description on the bamboo slips, but also related to all aspects of details.

In particular, the "caste system" needs to be deeply integrated with the theory of ghosts and gods within the Japanese country, so that the idea of ​​​​the "caste system" can be completely deeply implanted in the bones of everyone in the Japanese country.

But it is precisely because of this that Li Ji cannot take the initiative to get involved, at least not on the surface, otherwise it will easily form an image of "being both responsible and independent".

In addition, Li Ji also needs to overview a large number of mineral development matters every day, including all aspects of excavation, refining, transportation, etc.

All kinds of complicated matters, because almost every step requires the use of a large amount of Japanese labor, it can be said that every step is closely related.

Except for Li Ji, even Jia Xu may not be able to handle it in an orderly manner.

Jia Xu wanted to evade, but after a while, he couldn't find a reasonable excuse.

"That's fine."

Jia Xu reluctantly agreed, but the eyes he looked at Li Ji couldn't help but be filled with resentment.

Li Ji patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and spoke affectionately.

"Wen He, I can only work harder on you. The rise of a force is like a tree that is growing vigorously. There are always some people who need to be rooted in the dark underground where no one can see them, like the roots of the tree, to provide continuous support for the tree. Deliver nutrients."

"And you, Jia Wenhe, my best friend! In my eyes, you are as low-key and important as the roots of a tree. Even in the darkness, I will never forget your contribution."

Jia Xu sneered, pushed away Li Ji's palm on his shoulder, and said.

"Zikun's words should be used to deceive your little book boy. I am already forty-one years old. It is really difficult to be touched by this. I don't want no one to know when I die in the ground."

Li Ji shrugged helplessly, secretly lamenting that his charm and bewitching power were indeed far behind those of Liu Bei, and then he spoke.

"My lord, I am like the foundation of soil, and I am like the foundation of soil, and foundation is like a rhizome. As long as the soil remains, how can the rhizome rot?"

"This statement is still barely acceptable."

At this point, a smile appeared on Jia Xu's face, and then he discussed the issue of promoting the "caste system" with Li Ji in depth.

These two, who are regarded as the top wise men in the world, discussed this for two days in a row before finally finalizing all the details of the implementation of the caste system.

The overall idea is to start from the theory of kingship and ghosts and gods, and promote the integration of kingship and ghosts and gods. At the same time, the "caste system" as the core of the integration will be completely solidified into the bones of the Japanese people.

There is no voice against the Han in the Japanese state, and Jia Xu has long secretly controlled the entire Japanese state. This makes the entire Yingzhou like a puppet that can be manipulated at will under Jia Xu's clever hands.

On the surface, under the strong advocacy of Himigonghu, the national policies called "caste system" and "isolation" quickly began to be implemented in the Japanese country.

There are also good reasons for the implementation of these two national policies in the Japanese country. The "isolated country" is nominally to prevent foreign enemies from invading Yingzhou. The "caste system" has absolute benefits for the ruling class, and will naturally be sought after by countless Japanese people.

At this moment, the civilians in Yingzhou originally had no human rights and status, and the paths for advancement were also almost non-existent.

The status of "miners" in the "caste system" is equivalent to that of "warriors", which undoubtedly made countless Japanese regard this poison as a delicacy.

During the entire process, neither Li Ji nor the Han army had any interference. They only assisted the Japanese to quell some rebellions in the four directions and promoted the development of each mineral vein.

And with the implementation of the "caste system", not only did the Japanese have no resistance to mining, but they all flocked to it, seeing it as a way to ascend, and they did not hesitate to waste their fields.

As the promoter of these systems, I watched the changes in the Japanese country and felt chilled in my heart. I understood that in a sense, the Japanese country had begun to irrevocably slide into the abyss.

The implementation of the caste system and the improvement of the status of miners will undoubtedly cause the status of more Japanese farmers to completely fall into the abyss.

Especially under Jia Xu's methods of playing with people's hearts, the entire Japanese upper class has regarded tea and porcelain as elegance and treasures, and began to pursue tea and porcelain continuously, and concluded various trade agreements with Li Ji.

Tea, porcelain, refined salt and other elegant things pursued by the upper class of the Japanese state were the trade returns that the Japanese state needed. In the eyes of the Japanese leader and a group of nobles, the reason why Japan was able to unify Yingzhou was because the Han army led by the Han envoy Li Ji overran it like a divine army descending from the sky.

Moreover, the Han envoy Li Ji showed a miracle that was superior to the gods and executed Himihu with the "sunlight punishment".

Therefore, no one in the Japanese nobles thought there was anything wrong with respecting the Han emperor and Han envoys as a "superhuman" class that was superior to the country's lord.

However, gold and silver are not yet used as currency in Yingzhou. Even if some nobles know that gold and silver are valuable items outside Yingzhou, in the current trend of worshiping Han and foreign affairs sweeping Yingzhou, the Japanese nobles feel that the tea and porcelain used by Han envoys are valuable. , refined salt and other substances are the most noble.

Coupled with Li Ji's absolute prestige in Yingzhou, not only would no one voice any objection, but many nobles from top to bottom felt that he had taken a big advantage.

Obviously the Han envoys could directly take away those minerals in return for helping the Japanese unify Yingzhou, but the Han envoys actually traded tea, porcelain, refined salt and other items, which was really... "Asasi".

Jia Xu, who is already proficient in the Japanese language, can't help but twitch the corner of his mouth every time he hears the unanimous comments about Li Ji among the Japanese nobles.

After the "isolation", "caste system" and the development of various mineral veins in the Japanese country had gradually stabilized, Li Ji was about to lead his army to leave Yingzhou.

Jia Xu watched Himi Gonghu and the Japanese nobles crying their hearts out one by one, looking extremely reluctant to give up. He even sighed quietly, and then returned to the cabin first to avoid being in such a serious occasion. It's not good to laugh out loud.

"Master Jia...why did you leave first?" Beimi Gonghu asked in not very fluent Chinese.

Li Ji replied with a loving yet majestic expression. "Maybe Wen He has a deep relationship with the king and doesn't want to shed tears in public."

Immediately, this statement caused another cry.

It should be noted that Jia Xu's gentlemanly demeanor also had a very high reputation among the Japanese nobles, otherwise he would not have attracted countless nobles to pursue tea, porcelain and other items.

In fact, Li Ji also felt deeply uncomfortable.

Being treated like a thief and a father by a group of Japanese, Li Ji, as a person who still has a conscience, will also feel considerable psychological pressure.

In particular, no matter how much he disliked the Japanese, in order to maintain his image, Li Ji still had to behave in a manner consistent with the Han envoy.

"Master Han Envoy, Master Han Envoy, if you are no longer in Yingzhou, what should I do?" Bimi Gonghu asked nervously.

"There is no need to worry. In order to ensure the stability of the Japanese country, I have left five thousand elite Han soldiers in the Han army. As long as the king has respect for the Han people, the position of the king will not be unstable at all."

Li Ji replied gently.

As soon as these words came out, Beimi Gonghu and all the nobles burst into tears of gratitude.

After the Battle of Sekihara, a consensus has been formed in Yingzhou that the Han people are inherently stronger than the Japanese.

Therefore, under Li Ji's invisible influence, there are actually no soldiers in Yingzhou who are actually used in foreign wars. Instead, the "samurai" class serves as a violent institution to suppress the uprisings of the lower class civilians.

As for resisting possible foreign enemies, it was the responsibility of the Han garrison, and the supply of military food to the Han garrison was also the responsibility of the Japanese state.

As for the candidates left by Li Ji at the Han army stationed in Yingzhou, in addition to Gan Ning, who led the five thousand navy, there was also Luo Bin, who was Li Ji's representative.

However, as the situation in the country of Japan was completely stabilized, Luo Bin who stayed in the country of Japan was actually not only a symbol, but also to monitor whether there would be any tendencies in the country that were not conducive to the Han Dynasty.

At this point, it can be said that Yingzhou has completely become Li Ji's shape, trapped in the cage of "isolation" and "caste system", and will continue to deliver countless minerals to Liu Bei Group.

After a grand farewell ceremony that may be engraved in the history of the Japanese nation, and with countless Japanese people led by Himi Gonghu kneeling to see him off, Li Ji boarded the "Yingzhou" and led the army towards the Wujun returned.

At this moment, Li Ji looked at the endless sea, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of eagerness and longing in his eyes.

It was the fourth year of Zhongping when he led his army to leave Wujun, and now it is already June of the sixth year of Zhongping!

During these two years, separated by vast distances, letters from Liu Bei and Zhao Ji came from time to time, but they also made Li Ji unconsciously miss him deeply.

Not only Li Ji, but all the soldiers from top to bottom were homesick and eager to return to Wu County.

In addition, Li Ji, who was always paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Han Dynasty, stared at the sea, his brows furrowed deeply unconsciously, silently reading the news that had reached Yingzhou not long ago.

Today, Liu Hong... passed away in April!
This is also the main reason why Li Ji urgently led the army quickly and returned to Wu County from Yingzhou! (End of chapter)
