153 There is a country in the East China Sea

Ichijojo Castle was once a coastal castle tower built before the castle was established in Chukyo (Nagoya), and now it can be used as the embassy of Dayu in Chukyo, and the person in charge of receiving the mission is a Han merchant named Li Yihui. Their family came from the Thorn Tong people, from the Ding Dynasty began to run the Dongying route, the previous dynasty closed the country, the ancestors stayed in Kagoshima, simply bought land and real estate, married a wife and had children, changed the surname of Dongying to 'Gao Xiang', taken from the name of the biological father of the only Han 'Emperor Tianwu' in the history books of Dongying, 'Gao Xiang Wang'. The Li family has a single lineage to Li Yihui's father's generation, and he got three sons at once, according to Dongying customs, everything in the family belongs to the eldest son, although the grandfather is fairly shared, but as the third in the family, they still left Kagoshima and came to Zhongjing, just as his second uncle's family went to Okishima. Li Yihui, as the eldest son, inherited the business of Zhongjing, and his younger brother Li Zhonghui originally wanted to go to Goryeo across the sea to find an opportunity, but it happened that Dayu opened the sea trade and turned back to Thorn Tong to be responsible for the purchase. The brothers worked closely together and soon became the leaders of the local Han merchants.

Gu Wenkai and Shan Gui, as the chief and deputy envoys, were collectively welcomed by the Han merchants as soon as they got off the ship, and Li Yihui was responsible for everything from applying for a city as an embassy, taking care of accommodation, arranging food and lodging, submitting letters, handling notes, and fighting for imperial edicts. The first meal on the shore was the best banquet arranged by Li Yihui to go to Zhongjing, and the ladies were received by Mrs. Li, who is also a Han Chinese, in the mansion.

Dongying's customs are the same as Dayu, married women do not show their heads, in order to discuss business convenience, businessmen will let the familiar Yunzi, that is, geisha, or traveling girls to accompany them, Li Yihui inevitably also sponsored a pair of mother and daughter, so as to introduce girls to the guests. The people of the mission are generally noble and will leave sooner or later, not a businessman like him, he feels that it is not appropriate to arrange Yunzi for the first meeting, but he can't resist the pleading of the mother and daughter, so he brings his stepdaughter to open his eyes.

***********************

Seventeen-year-old Masako is already a well-known Yunzi in Zhongjing, and her mother was originally a 'tea girl' in a certain water tea house, but she became pregnant unmarried and was abandoned. In order to raise her, under the advice of her sisters, she entered the industry as a 'wandering girl', and because she was docile and considerate, she found Li Yihui to be 'Danna'. Now, as the stepfather's business grows bigger and bigger, her mother has also become a well-known 'husband' in Chukyo.

Today, my stepfather entertained two envoys from the Chinese kingdom in the finest pavilion, and my mother begged my stepfather to take her with her, hoping that she would meet her beloved. However, Masako, who has been strictly trained since childhood, does not plan to follow her mother's old path, nor is she satisfied with finding a man, retiring, getting married, and having children, she is a woman who aims to become the 'No. 1 Yunzi in Chukyo'.

Many Yunzi in Zhongjing can speak Chinese, but there is little opportunity to learn Chinese, and few people are as proficient in reading and writing as Masako. It can be seen that the Chinese customs and news she learned from each issue of the Royal News surprised the two handsome and tall envoys. The stepfather was very satisfied with her performance, hinting that she could sleep with the two, but the handsome ambassador and the sturdy deputy envoy seemed to have no interest in her, and she was polite, humble and gentle throughout the whole process, which was rare and elegant for a man in Zhongjing, and he did not ask her to go out alone after the banquet, which made her heart moved and regretted.

Thinking of the previous mother's proposal to her stepfather, she offered her first red to show her gratitude and love, and directly scared her stepfather into running away, and she didn't come to see them for two months, which shows that the men in the Central Plains are all the same cautious.

How can we make the Han envoy accept her and be her Danna?

***********************

Dongying's Dayu mission was led by Gu Wenkai and Shan Gui, who had been 'idle' for a long time, and of course, Xie Ran also came. The most special thing about the whole mission is that every man, even the man on the ship, as long as he becomes a wife, takes his wife with him. The grapevine said that this was the queen's request, but Shenzong said that this visit was to let them study the customs and customs here in an all-round way, and some things were naturally more convenient for women to do.

After going ashore, many housewives who were reluctant to leave their children, housework, and jobs to 'travel at public expense' seemed to understand why they couldn't let their husbands come alone - in a group of Dongying people who are generally not of a good height, the men of Dayu are 'tall and burly', don't be too popular! And the sister paper here is as docile and obedient as a kitten, looking humble and respectful, and she is really uninhibited inside......

Even if the girl was beautiful, the mission did not dare to touch her hands casually, and after the doctor who accompanied the army got off the ship and ate the first meal in Zhongjing, he immediately wrote a letter back to China and prepared Poria cocos, which is a holy medicine for 'hidden diseases'!

Shan Gui, who was sitting in his room and pinching his knees, kept complaining to Gu Wenkai, "Lao Tzu has never sat so seriously in most of his life!" "This Dongying person is not tall, and he loves to sit, so that they don't eat a good meal.

"Ahem, you see that the little girls don't move at all......"

"Stop! You tell me first, you can find out what happened to that girl, and then we'll talk about the rest of the matter. Gu Wenkai, who couldn't say it, summoned a small servant, this was a young man sent by Li Yihui from the store to serve them temporarily, in fact, it should be a nail sent by Jinyiwei one step earlier.

The young man crackled and briefly described the situation in Li Yihui's family, deliberately promoted Yazi's language ability and professionalism, and then focused on the customs here-degree. As a Dongying woman who maintains the tradition of 'visiting a wife and marrying', she does not have too strict concepts of chastity, nor does she care about blood. This is especially common in rural villages, where even a village of children cannot say their father's name. In their opinion, the rich and rare Han people are all handsome, tall, polite, and will give pleasing and exquisite gifts, and a woman can't wait to open the door and accept it. In order to wait for the trade wind season, the merchants of the Central Plains often had to stay for about half a year, leaving behind an unknown number of heirs with wandering girls and even women from white families. Moreover, from the emperor to the commoners, the Dongying people do not hide seniority, ethics or blood, and the relationship between men and women is quite chaotic, so Masako is very willing to serve Li Yihui with her mother, but Li Yihui refuses.

Jin Yiwei obviously thinks that Masako can be of great use, so how can this girl be obedient and provide information, as a rare golden bachelor in the mission, it is incumbent on her. After throwing away the thunder, the young men happily went out to pack their bags, leaving the two ambassadors to look at each other.

“…… This, mother and daughter...... The challenge is difficult......" Shan Gui said as he glared at Gu Wenkai.

"Well, it's a pretty girl......"

"She is painted like a white steamed bun, how can you see that it is beautiful?"

“…… If you really don't want to, I'll let Ah Ran accept her as a translator. Gu Wenkai didn't compete with him, he was also thundered, so he hurriedly asked his wife to touch and comfort.

The bitter Shan Gui viciously watched him out, and began to read the new information that had just been delivered.

According to the instructions of the Privy Council, their raiders were mainly the three daimyos, and the current shogun, Uesugi Hiroyoshi and Emperor Yasuku, were just soy sauce people who went through the motions. In the new instructions, they focused on the strength of the Shinda family, and several famous shrines were added, so that the Pure Bodhisattva Master who came to Zen could try to win the edict and lead a group to go on an in-depth tour, such as Kofuku-ji Temple, Enjo-ji Temple, Hiei-ji Temple, Honno-ji Temple, Hongan-ji Temple, Todai-ji Temple, Izumo Taisha Shrine, Suwa Taisha Shrine, Atsuta Jingu, Usa Jingu, Hakusan Shrine, etc.

***********************

As the mission and Han merchants traveled from Chukyo to Kyoto, and the Sangha went to pay homage everywhere, the beautiful Masako, with the support of Xie Ran and Li Yihui, followed the example of the Izumo Taisha shrine shrine at the end of the Heian period, and formed the 'Dayu Song and Dance Troupe', wearing Dayu costumes, adapting the plot or dance with the script of Dayu, and following the mission, performing all the way.

Information from Toei continued to flow back to Uekyo from Kagoshima, Okishima, and Nakyo. The large iron plate of the Privy Council Military Aircraft Department is hung every day with a map of Dongying, and various marks are densely marked on it, and the relationship between hundreds of big names and small names is clarified through a powerful tree map.

One large, two small and three islands, the big palm of Dongying, there are few emperors in real power, and in the few centralized periods, it is still the emperor of Tianwu, imitating the Tang system to set up 'Wuqi and Seven Provinces', and it seems that the limited land is divided into sixty-six countries, which seems to be more unscrupulous than Zhou Tianzi!

In this island country with few lands, many forests and many volcanoes, even if this division of one country and one village is in line with the laws of geography, it is inevitable that it will 'invade' other countries if you run on a horse. One or several powerful forces in each country have become small names or big names, and a fight of a few thousand people is considered a battle, and tens of thousands of people are a big war or battle, which is really not enough in the eyes of everyone in the Privy Council. However, I heard that Izumo and Mutsu had rich gold and silver veins, but the Dongying people did not have good enough smelting skills to mine and purify, and even the most calm Gu Yao felt that if they didn't get them, they were really sorry for the Goryeo, Kuwu and Ryukyu that they had already taken.

The Imperial Trading Company was instructed to use copper coins to earn as much silver, placer gold, sulfur, timber and other materials as possible from Dongying, and as for handicrafts and specialties, they were handed over to ordinary merchants to play. The grain of the South Seas, as the East of the Warring States Period, was a hard currency equivalent to currency, and it had to be used in conjunction with the strategy of the Privy Council.
