The next day, the sun rises in the east. Yang Tong met with the Ezo envoy Ji Shi Changdan in the Wanchun Palace. Why not in the Daxing Hall and the Liangyi Palace? Not qualified! Even receiving him in the Wanchun Hall is considered a courtesy.

"Ezo people Ji Shi Changdan knocked on the Great Sui Emperor, I, Ezo people, are now bullied by Japanese slaves, and have lost six, seven, or eighty percent of the country; This time, I hope to establish diplomatic relations with the Great Sui and pay homage to the Great Sui forever. And begged the Great Sui Emperor to send a reinforcement army to help my Ezo people pacify the Japanese slaves, if your army has any losses, my Ezo people are willing to repay a hundred times. Ji Shi Changdan knelt on the ground, and there was a thick pleading in his voice.

"No!" Li Jing stood up first, frowned and glanced at Ji Shi Changdan, and bowed his hand to Yang Tong: "Holy Lord, the Japanese slaves are more than thousands of miles away from my Great Sui, and naval battles are different from land battles, there are strong winds and waves in the sea, and if you are not careful, you will have the worry of annihilation. If my Great Sui rashly sends troops to aid Ezo, not to mention the long distance and huge risk, if the surrounding enemy comes to attack, how can our army resist the enemy? ”

The pay and the harvest are not equal, even if the Japanese slaves are destroyed in the end, it is also the achievement of the Ezo people, and the Great Sui has no benefit, but the consumption of manpower and material resources is innumerable, which is completely inconsistent with the interests of the Great Sui.

Yang Tong nodded, and said to Ji Shi Changdan: "This matter is related to the thousands of Li people of my Great Sui, and my Great Sui can support you, but I can't send troops." ”

The matter of the Ezo people has to start with Li Daozong and Xu Jingzong's scourge of the Wa Kingdom, these two goods, one can fight and the other perineum, and they complement each other well.

Although Li Daozong was a general on land, after being familiar with naval warfare, his military talent was brought into play little by little.

In particular, after the popularization of a large number of keel warships, the combat effectiveness of the navy has been strengthened. The keel warship may not have an advantage over the warship in the inland river, but when it comes to the sea, whether it is safety, stability or carrying capacity, it is multiplied.

In this period of more than a year, Li Daozong turned against the guest and became the chief general of this sneak attack on the Japanese navy, he led the navy across the sea, and the Japanese slaves did not dare to approach the beach, and the Japanese slaves did not resist, and the 30,000 shallow sea troops that were put together were wiped out by Li Daozong.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare, it does not mean that the strength is great when there are more people, the victory or defeat of the naval battle is almost determined by the size of the ship and whether it is advanced or not, the warships of the Japanese slaves are all fishing boats that are patchwork, and the real warships are not only pitifully few, but also pitifully small, and there is no military talent. And Li Daozong himself is a talented general, and there is a yin man like Xu Jingzong around him to give advice, and it took a group of people nearly a year to slowly understand the way of naval warfare. Li Daozong was to introduce the opponent's army into the deep sea area at that time, and then with the help of the wind and waves at sea, he sent all 30,000 Japanese slaves to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and since then, the Japanese slaves have been defeated.

Li Daozong took this opportunity to continue to plunder the population and wealth around the Japanese islands, and the population was sent to Sado Island, the headquarters of the 'pirates', to dig gold and silver mines, and the wealth was sent back to Luoyang by boat, causing the Japanese money and grain to fall into an extremely tight situation, and the coastal area was even more uninhabited for hundreds of miles.

The Ezo nation was originally the master of the four major islands, but it was only after being persecuted by the Japanese people for a long time that they moved north to Ezo Island (Hokkaido Island) to survive, and were ruled and persecuted by the Japanese people, and even inferior people such as the Japanese people looked down on them.

This time, Ji Shi Changdan, who had contact with the Great Sui Navy, begged Li Daozong and Xu Jingzong, hoping that the Great Sui would support them in fighting with the Japanese and recovering the lost territory. The six-character formula of helping the weak is a good prescription for the three emperors of the Great Sui, and seeing that Yang Tong does not look down on the barren island in the sea, he thinks that Yang Tong may also want to find an enemy for the Japanese slaves, so that they can fight from generation to generation, so he agreed to the request of Ji Shi Changdan, and let them take the big ship to the Great Sui on the big ship transporting gold and silver, as for whether Yang Dong agreed, or burned these hairy people, it has nothing to do with the two of them.

And in Yang Tong's heart, no matter whether he is a Japanese slave or an Ezo person, the world is clean when he dies.

Let's talk about the Japanese slaves, he lives in the sea, as long as he knocks out their ships, he can neither fly into the sky, nor go down to the sea, and he can't run away, the key is that their weapons and equipment are not advanced, and the terrain seems to be complicated, this is undoubtedly the best training ground for the Great Sui, and he can go to the island to conduct actual combat exercises in the future, come once a year, and kill a group of Japanese slaves every year, he does not believe that he will not be able to destroy these miscellaneous pieces. If so, why support a minion vassal? If he becomes 'his own person', even if Da Sui ignores international public opinion, it will be bad for his reputation after all.

"I beg His Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui to help me help the Ezo people for the sake of the same root and the same lineage." Ji Shi Changdan kept kowtowing, crying and pleading.

"Same roots, same origin?"

"In the same vein?"

The empty hall fell into a dead silence all at once.

Including Yang Tong, almost everyone is stupid, just this thing with a face full of hair, also deserves it?

Ji Shi Changdan didn't find out that it was boring, and continued to plead, "His Majesty the Great Sui Son of Heaven learned that we are actually the descendants of Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty, and when the ancestors crossed to the east, they not only brought rice seeds, but also taught us rice farming, medical knowledge, metal smelting, and textile technology, so that we got rid of the original era of gathering, fishing and hunting, learned to smelt iron tools, got rid of clumsy and ineffective stone tools, and promoted the development of agriculture; The introduction of Chinese characters has given us a cultural foundation; The introduction of the idea of a hundred schools of thought has also played an educational role for us. In addition, he brought with him 3,000 boys and girls, and they have lived with the local people to this day. It's just that we and other descendants are incompetent, causing the Japanese slaves to seize the land of our ancestors, and I implore His Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui to be our master. ”

Everyone only listened and looked at each other, Xu Fu's eastward crossing, everyone not only knew, but even found the route of his eastward crossing from ancient books.

Due to the small size of the wooden boats of the Qin Dynasty, the power was sails and manpower, and there was no compass, so this period only had the level of coastal navigation. According to historical records, Xu Fu's first eastward crossing route was from Langya, through Jiaozhou Bay, and then island by island to Laotieshan on the Liaodong Peninsula, and then across the Yalu water to the west coast of the Chaoxian Peninsula, around the east coast of the peninsula, and then through Tsushima Island, Okishima Island, Kitakyushu, through the Kanmon Strait, the Seto Inland Sea to the Kumano Beach in Shingu Town, Wakayama. This time, Xu Fu did not get the elixir. Just before Xu Fu's return, the "Book Burning and Confucianism" incident broke out, and Xu Fu was also condemned, but because he had not returned at the time of the "Book Burning and Confucianism", he survived. In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang, Xu Fu returned to Langya and exonerated himself on the grounds that "Penglai medicine is available, but it is often suffered by mackerel". Qin Shi Huang, who was keen on seeking immortals, personally shot a giant fish with a repeater to open the way for Xu Fu, and Xu Fu began his second journey to the east, which took the same route as the first. This time I got to my destination and never came back.

And the Ezo people are the aborigines of the island, and it is normal for Xu Fu's 3,000 boys and girls to have some relationship with the aborigines, and today, more than a thousand years later, it seems reasonable for this Ji Shi Changdan to say that they have Central Plains blood.

It's just that he is not very old, but he has a hairy face, and he is short and small, which really makes people don't want to recognize this relative.

However, this question could not help Yang Tong, and he asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are a descendant of Xu Fu?" What evidence do you have that Xu Fu is your ancestor? ”

"I have a book to prove it."

"Books, what books?"

"I brought all the ancient books that Ancestor Xu Fu brought to Ezo." Seeing that Yang Tong's attitude had changed significantly, Ji Shi Changdan immediately said, "Now in your country's post house." ”

"Go and get all the ancient books." Yang Tong hurriedly ordered.

"Whoa." The guards outside the hall walked away quickly.

Huangfu Wuyi, Li Jing, Yang Gongren, Wei Yunqi, Yang Shanhui, Yang Shidao, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng, Yu Shinan and others couldn't help but breathe.

Yang Guang's collection of books has 370,000 volumes, more than 77,000 types of books, in duplicate, which are treasured in Daxing Palace Ziwei Palace. Yang Tong has been in the home of the scholar clan all these years, and has obtained a large number of rare books and unique books, which has almost doubled compared to the collection of books in the Yang Guang period.

After classification and sorting, a large number of printed into paper books, now Daxing City Daxing Palace, Luoyang City Ziwei Palace, Yecheng Shenwu Palace, Zhuojun Linshuo Palace, Taiyuan Jinyang Palace each have a complete set of ten; In addition, the libraries of the three university palaces and the county schools also choose to display a large number of paper books, and libraries around the country sell them according to school books.

Yang Tong also knows that the ancient books brought by the Ezo people are very important, because the Central Plains Dynasty was full of war, and the existing rare books and unique books are mostly texts after the Qin Dynasty.

Didn't he snatch so many books from the hands of major scholars and families in order to spread the fire of civilization widely? With such a large Indian special print and distribution all over the world, there will always be one or two complete sets after a thousand years, right?

After about two moments, a group of soldiers carried six large boxes in, opened them and saw that they were all some tortoiseshell animal bones engraved with small seals, as well as animal skins with small seals, Kong Yingda carefully picked up a piece of tortoise shell, and said excitedly: "Shengshang, this is Confucianism." ”

"What's written on it?"

"'The people may, let it be, and not, let it know.'" In other words, poetry, rituals, and music are the foundation for educating the people, and we must do a good job of them, and if the people master poetry, rituals, and music, we should let them play freely, and if the people can't explain it thoroughly, we must educate them, so that they know and understand these things. This just reflects the idea of Confucius and Sheng's education without class and opening up the wisdom of the people. ”

"In fact, there are other interpretations of this sentence." Yang Tong was also interested.

"The people may make it, and let it be; You can't make it, you know it. ”

"The people can make it, but they can't make it known."

"The people 'can', so let it be. No, let it be known. ”

"Can the people do it? No, you can know it. ”

"This ......" Kong Yingda Khan is like a spring, he found that the people of later generations really misunderstood the meaning of Confucius Sheng, and what is even more terrifying is that there are five correct ways to interpret it, but people use the wrong view of "the people can make it, but not make it known" to govern the country.

"Confucius Shangshu, when you were compiling the Four Books and Five Classics of Justice, you used Confucius's core concepts such as 'teaching without class' and 'opening up the wisdom of the people' to break sentences in many classics, striving to be accurate, and never being misled by all kinds of fallacies and heresies. Otherwise, it will not only mislead the country and the people, but also smear the great image of Kong Sheng. Yang Tong ordered.

"Wechen understands!" Kong Yingda obeyed the order.

Yang Tong nodded, and when his eyes turned to a box, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked down from the throne at once, and said quite excitedly: "Cement slab? ”

"What is a cement slab?" Kong Yingda was surprised.

Yang Tong ignored Kong Yingda, lifted up the kneeling Ji Shi Chang Dan, and asked viciously, "How did you get these boxes?" ”

As an important building material, cement is widely used in urban construction, water conservancy roads, and national defense projects, how could Yang Tong not want to be widely used in Dasui? Moreover, Yang Tong, who played big next to the cement factory, also knew that the cement production method was simple, as long as the furnace temperature was as high as 14500 degrees, then ordinary limestone could be made into cement.

However, the smelting furnace of the Great Sui could not produce a high temperature of 14 or 500 degrees, so he had no choice but to give up cement as a building material.

What he never expected was that this Ezo man actually brought a few cement boxes, how could he not be so excited?

Yang Tong's gaffe made everyone's thoughts shift from the ancient books to this side, and Luo Shixin and Wei Chigong thought that this Ji Shi Chang Dan had bad intentions, and the two strode forward in unison, took his poor Ji Shi Chang Dan from Yang Dong's hands, and pressed him to the ground like a pig killing a year.

"Great Sui Tianzi, I have no malice, why is this?" Ji Shi Changdan's face turned pale, and he asked in horror.

"There was a misunderstanding, let him go." Yang Tong waved his hand, and Luo Shixin and Wei Chigong let go.

"You tell me, where did this cement box come from?" Yang Tong pointed to the box and asked.

When Kong Yingda and the others heard this, their faces turned dark! The old face is hot!

The Emperor of Hero I stared only at the inconspicuous box, and even ignored the precious ancient books in the box. The key is that the box is not only not delicate and beautiful, but it is not black, and the saint's move seems to be lower than that of Zheng Guoren, who 'buys and returns pearls'.

This is not to blame them, because they don't know cement as a building material, let alone the significance of cement technology to Dasui.

And Yang Tong has the soul of the next generation, how can he not know the meaning of these cement boxes? How can we not know how much change cement technology will bring to the Great Sui?

If we can dig up the technology to make cement that produces a high temperature of 14,500 degrees, even if we give Ezo Island to the Ezo people and support the Ezo people to fight the Japanese slaves, what does it matter?
