Chapter 154: Soga Ezo

Coming out of Santaro's shop, Li Kuan, Wang Xuance and the others had no idea of going any further, so they hurried back to the dock to see the boats of goods.

Equal weight of silver for porcelain!

If there is a porcelain shop in Chang'an City that dares to sell things like this, it will either sell tributes that cannot be sold, or it will be cheating people.

But in Nambatsu, the porcelain that everyone sees as ordinary is actually sold at the price of tribute.

Japanese people, this is a stupid person, how fast the money comes.

"Lord Wang, I think the shipyard can expand its scale and build a few more clippers, which are fast and very suitable for transporting goods."

Wang Xuance couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

Although everyone is not bad for money, they have never seen anyone who makes money like this.

I've seen it for a long time.

"Lord, the land on the dock, I think that when the fleet leaves the Wa Kingdom, I will stay there with some guards, and then ask Santaro to help hire some Wa people to help build some buildings and walls as our long-term stronghold."

Cheng Chumo can be regarded as an eye-opener today.

"There are a lot of copper utensils in the shop just now, it seems that there should be no shortage of copper in the Wa Kingdom, and when the fleet goes back, you can consider transporting copper ingots, just to alleviate the copper money panic of the imperial court."

Yu Chihuan's brain was the most brilliant among the three guys, and he immediately thought of a good idea.

"If you want me to say, directly find the gold, copper, and silver mines of the Japanese people, send a team of men, and occupy them directly." Fang Yiai thinks that what everyone thinks is too complicated, so it is better to do it simply.

Li Kuan: "Okay, let's talk about these things later, anyway, we didn't leave the country in the past two days." ”

……

The next day, in order to arrive at Nara before dark, it was still dark, and Li Kuan and his party set off.

In the early morning of the Wa Kingdom in early autumn, there is a layer of white mist everywhere, and occasionally one or two mountains emerge from the fog, but it is a little more like a fairyland on earth out of thin air.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, when I arrived in Nara today, the cold house has prepared thin wine, please deign to stay."

Jiujo Shinichi was very clear about Li Kuan's status in the Tang Dynasty, and he also knew the background of Cheng Chumo and others, so he naturally hugged his thighs as hard as he could.

"Then bother Kujo-kun."

is not familiar with the place, Li Kuan is naturally willing to go to a relatively familiar house to stay.

While talking to Li Kuan and others about the customs of the Wa Kingdom, Jiu Tiao kept hinting that if he cooperated with the Kujo family, he would fully guarantee the interests of Datang, and he would be a qualified spokesperson for Datang in the Wa Kingdom.

In this era, whether it is the Wa State or the Tang Dynasty, the people's concept of the country is actually not very strong.

This is especially true of countries such as Silla, Baekje, and Wa kingdoms that were only beginning to be influenced by Confucianism and Buddhism.

For Shinichi Kujo, his main concern is always whether the Kujou family can become prosperous; If this price is the loss of the interests of the Wa State, then the loss goes, no one cares.

The other families are similar, not to mention, the Wa Kingdom is now the powerful minister Su I Ezo has the final say, and the loyalty of the other nobles below to him is even lower.

If you cooperate with small countries such as Silla and Baekje, everyone may have a lot of concerns, and you dare not take such a big step, but there is no problem in cooperating with Datang.

The Tang Dynasty in this era is definitely an existence that the Wa Kingdom needs to look up to.

……

Chang'an City.

"Master, is there any news of Erlang?"

As soon as Fang Xuanling returned home, his wife Lu came over with a frown to inquire about Fang's bereavement.

"Madam, Erlang and His Royal Highness the King of Chu are together, please don't worry."

"Master, why did I hear that Erlang followed His Royal Highness the King of Chu to the Wa Kingdom? Is it true? ”

Fang Xuanling chuckled in his heart, who has so many things?

has been a husband and wife for more than 20 years, and when the Lu family saw Fang Xuanling's expression, they immediately understood that the rumors were true.

"Fang Qiao, what did I say at the beginning? asked you to call your bereaved love back from Dengzhou Mansion, but you didn't listen. And then a good person, but he went out to sea to fish, is there no danger in fishing? Is fishing a prime minister's doing? Now it's even better, I went directly to the Wa Kingdom, the barbarian land of the Wa Kingdom, I don't know how far away from the Tang Dynasty, this ...... If something happens to this, how are you going to let me live? ”

After Lu finished speaking, tears began to flow.

Fang Xuanling has always been afraid of guilt, and was asked by the Lu family, and the whole person did not have the momentum of a prime minister at all, so he had to coax with good words, and at the same time he kept complaining in his heart that Li Kuan was unreliable.

……

Five-in-one.

"Brother Eldest Sun, I have good news here, you must be very interested."

Zheng Hai sat opposite Changsun Chong, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Brother Zheng, during this period of time, His Majesty gave me a marriage, and I was busy with this and that, and I was a little bit more closed than closed. What, what's so good? ”

The eldest grandson Chong is full of spring breeze, this year Li Shimin just promoted him to Zongzheng Shaoqing, and gave him the princess Li Li of Changle to marry, which is called kissing and kissing, which can be described as a good thing.

If Li Kuan was in Chang'an, he would definitely find a way to oppose such a marriage.

Cousins getting married?

Does the eldest grandson queen only trust her nephew?

Li Lizhi is such a virtuous person, let the eldest grandson rush this pig to arch, how uncomfortable to think.

"Brother Eldest Sun, that Li Kuan followed the Japanese State to send Tang envoys to sea."

"When you go to sea, then Li Kuan is engaged in the East China Sea fishery in Dengzhou, doesn't he often go to sea?"

The eldest grandson Chong didn't reflect for a while.

"It's different, this time it's going to the Wa Kingdom! Hehe, I've inquired, go to the country of Wa for less than ten days, more than a month, during this time, but whenever there is any accident, it is called every day, and the earth is not spiritual. ”

"You mean......" Eldest Sun Chong's eyes lit up.

"That's right, the probability of coming back alive is no more than fifty percent!"

"Haha, Brother Zheng, come, let's have a drink!"

……

Nara is not far from Nambatsu, and the official road is relatively well built.

At sunset, Li Kuan and his party finally arrived.

And at the gate of the city, there were already a bunch of people waiting for Li Kuan's arrival, presumably Inoushang set off ahead of schedule and arrived last night, so the people in Nara City knew that His Royal Highness the King of Tang Chu would come today.

The prince of the Heavenly Empire came to the Wa Kingdom, and the people of the Asuka Palace could not afford not to pay attention to it.

"The Minister of the Lower Kingdom, Su I, Ezo, has met His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Upper Kingdom."

Li Kuan didn't expect to be greeted by Su I Ezo, it stands to reason that this guy should be very domineering in the Wa Kingdom, and he thought that he would only see him tomorrow when he went to see the Wa Emperor.

"Minister Su, this king has admired his name for a long time, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name."

Li Kuan took a serious look at Su Izo, who was going to continue to control the Wa Kingdom for many years, but he didn't expect this guy to be dressed as a Tang man, and he didn't know that he was usually like this, but he was still specifically pleasing himself.

Either way, it seems that this person can't be underestimated.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the house has prepared a little wine and food to catch the wind for the prince."

Hearing Su I Ezo say this, Kujo was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speak out.

"Today's journey is tiring, the heart of the minister of Su and my lord has been received, and I will disturb it another day!"
