Chapter 469
It is precisely because they have such rules that even if Yamamoto Kogoro has been assigning tasks for him, he still nods most of the time. He will ask questions only when he really doesn't understand what's going on.
Yamamoto Kogoro has long been accustomed to such behavior from Ronin. He just talked about his own thoughts and plans.
His plan is actually not difficult. Although the emperor gave him an order to organize the top Japanese ronin in the territory of the Tang Dynasty to directly assassinate Li when necessary, Yamamoto Kogoro felt that with his understanding of the Tang Dynasty, he could not wait for such an opportunity to rely on the heavens to make a living. Even if Li Nian never left Chang'an City, he had to do something.
What almost all the people in the Tang Dynasty are talking about is the reform of the salt administration that Li Qing suddenly announced.
This incident is indeed a matter that can make people applaud most of the people of the Tang Dynasty, except for some people, who are salt officials from all over the country.
They accumulated a considerable portion of their wealth by reselling official salt at a price on the ground, but now that part of the pass has obviously lost all the wealth accumulated over the years overnight, and a large part of them have even lost their lives.
According to the notice that Li Yi has issued, when the matter inside the pass is resolved, this matter will begin in the entire Tang Dynasty. If there is no life in your hands, you may have to keep your life, but if there is no life in your hands, there is almost no possibility of living.
Yamamoto Kogoro has studied Li Yan. He is definitely an emperor who will do what he says and will do one by one sooner or later.
In other words, most of the salt officials who hold a lot of money and even have many dead soldiers under their command have already reached the time to wait for death in the mansion. They do have a few dead soldiers in their hands, but compared with those who were going to control them, this number of people is almost like tickling and will not play any role. They may also make themselves more guilty. Once they resist, they may be punished by the three clans.
Those who are waiting to die will definitely catch them once they have a little hope of life. Now, Yamamoto Kogoro feels that he can give these people hope of life.
What the Tubo people can provide is the place where these people can take refuge, and what these people can provide is a lot of money and dead soldiers.
These people can be used well by the Japanese as the new force to assassinate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. At least they can still stand up or attract the attention of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at the right time.
Anyway, these people were all from the Tang Dynasty, and the money was also the people's money of the Tang Dynasty. When Kogoro Yamamoto was using it, he felt that there was no pressure at all. Instead, he felt that there was quite a lot of fun in it.
He was almost certain that these people were basically full of resentment towards Li Neng, so they would not consider the people's livelihood and the people of the Tang Dynasty. They only knew in their hearts that Li Neng cut off their wealth, which was like killing their parents and flirting with their wives, and wishing that Li Neng, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would be cut into pieces.
With their mentality, Yamamoto Kogoro is very confident.
"Your staff are limited, but many people should have a lot of understanding of local salt officials. It is estimated that within a few days, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will take action against the salt officials in the entire Tang Dynasty. You only choose those who have dead soldiers following you or have a lot of money in your hands. The amount should not be too large, otherwise the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will notice it."
"Don't worry, some salt officials who are useless will forge the scene of their suicide. After all, what we want is their money and the dead soldiers."
"Just that should be done, half of the money was handed over to the Tubo people, just as a reward for cooperation. It is just a number for us."
After saying this, Ronin nodded, took the letter handed over by Yamamoto Kogoro, and left without looking back.
This is the result. It can be passed on to him in one or two months. Although he still has to do farm work every day, this time, Yamamoto Kogoro looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow because he finally did something quite a bit.
If Li Yan can be assassinated by his own operations, Yamamoto Kogoro knew that his status would rise sharply after returning to Japan. To what extent it would be, it might be difficult for him to estimate.
He believed that with his mind and those perfect tool people, the probability of achieving this goal would be greatly enhanced. As long as he had a little bit of luck, for example, Li Yan suddenly left Chang'an City one day, and the destination happened to be Tubo or his direction. If such a thing really happened at the right time, he would not even think of a reason why this assassination would fail.
Of course, the reason why Yamamoto Kogoro was so anxious about this matter was related to the fact that he found that it might be difficult to spy on the Tang Dynasty warship after arriving at Henan Road.
The spy responsible for copying the warship drawings had already sent him news, because the Tang Dynasty naval army had been repairing the two warships. If he boarded the warship at this time, the risk of exposure would be quite high, so he could not boarded the warship at this time. As for when there would be a very perfect opportunity before, he would not know.
Warships are something that the Emperor of Japan attaches great importance to. If this is not done well, it is absolutely impossible for Yamamoto Kogoro to persist in the Tang Dynasty for too long. If the emperor is angry, he only needs to give the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty a letter. Yamamoto Kogoro has to take his team back in shame. If such a situation really happens, his status will plummet after returning. This result is something that Yamamoto Kogoro can never accept, so he can only come up with a thought of overtaking on a curve according to local conditions. If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can solve the problem directly, wouldn’t it be all over?
People have already placed the butcher knife around their necks. Li Neng, the protagonist of this matter, still knows nothing. He puts other things aside and focuses on the salt administration. He has to read almost every news in the pass, as if this matter is the biggest thing in the Tang Dynasty now, and the most dead people since he ascended the throne. However, the facts have proved that Li Neng is not afraid of death.
