I have made up my mind, my best friend Olivares will be my prime minister starting this year,1621. He will help me run things and substitute for me when I am gone. My friend here was born in 1587 in Rome and in 1599 he studied at the Salamanca University. When my father was still king he was appointed the position of heir apparent. Soon after him meet me and we became close friends and he also became my closest adviser. Now I am giving him this position even though he has no really experience in administration. Why? Well because I trust him. I have known him for years and I think he is ready. I have already given the order that all papers requiring my signature is to be presented to him first before it is presented to me. I think he will be a fine advisor and will help me and his country a lot.
Hello, this is Tokugawa. I believe I have spoken to one of your predecessors to keep their missionaries under control and out of Japan. However, I am delighted to hear that your new prime minister has set out reforms that will curtail the power of the church. From what I've heard, it's been too long that your country has been under such strong religious influence.
ReplyDeleteThank you and i ma sure Olivares will make a great Minister however I don't know what he is doing to the church, i will go check him out.
