It is estimated that no one knows that the origin of Japanese civilization was in Kyushu, and only then did it begin to move towards the island of Honshu with Emperor Jimmu's crusade. The evidence is also clear that before the Edo shogunate, the development of the Kanto region was not very good.

In China, it is customary to regard mythology as history. In the absence of writing, history could only be passed on by word of mouth, and eventually evolved into mythology; Japan is really a boy and a girl in the pre-Qin past, so naturally it will inherit this tradition.

There is a high probability that Japanese mythology is the history of the time when there were no written words in Japan.

For example, the legend of Amaterasu, Liu Tao remembered that he had checked it before, and the scholars over there also suspected that it was Himiko.

Coincidentally, the current period should be around the peak of Himiko's power. According to history, after a while, she would also send an envoy to visit. At that time, the Han Dynasty had been usurped by Cao Pi, so he was named the king of Wei and Wei.

Counting the age, Himiko should be thirty or forty, right? Not to mention the son, the grandson should probably have it.

After all, it is a formal meeting, even if it is a small remote country that does not know where it is, the Han monarch should treat it solemnly. Not just politeness, but more importantly deterrence.

The messenger followed the messenger in, surrounded by brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives at their waists. The envoy came all the way, and the first feeling was a strong killing intent and battle intent.

On the surface, it is quite calm, but in fact it is already a little afraid, or rather awe!

At this time, the Wa Kingdom was separated from the Han by a Tsushima Strait. With Tsushima Island as an intermediary, it is not difficult to cross the sea during calm times. They can cross the sea, and the big men can cross the sea......

At the same time, the weapons, armor, materials and even luxury goods of the Han Dynasty were all needed by the Japanese state. Even the lowest-end bronze can make the Yamatai Kingdom invincible.

At least, in the early years, the slave country relied on the bronze sword stabbed by the Great Han? Resisted them for a long time. I don't know how many warriors of the Yamatai Kingdom? Died in the campaign against the slave nation.

"Wa country, build a thunderstorm? See? Great Han, Emperor! "The messenger came to Liu Tao? Meet you in bumpy and bumpy, not quite authentic Chinese.

With a bit of a Qin accent? Not quite like ...... Liu Tao immediately remembered? This is the Ya language of Qidi, that is, the Mandarin of Qi during the Warring States Period. I met Kong Rong a few years ago, and his speech was probably this accent, at least similar.

Think about it too? Xu Fu is said to be from Shandong? That is, the Qidi people. The boys and girls under his command are naturally in charge of teaching him. Of course, it can't be the official language of the Qin State, or the elegant language of the Han Dynasty, and it is likely to be the elegant language of the Qi State.

As for why this envoy of the Japanese Kingdom knew Chinese, he should have learned it from someone who knew Chinese.

For example? A Han Chinese who accidentally got caught up in the wind and waves and drifted to Kyushu Island. For example, the slave country came to the Han Dynasty before and learned the Chinese language. Anyway, since you want to send a big man? Then the official dialect of the Han Dynasty must be learned.

"Build a thunderbolt? That's how it sounds, right? Liu Tao looked at the envoy with interest.

"It's ......," the latter replied quickly.

Han Dynasty official dialect with Qiluya pronunciation...... Jian Yulei should be the best transliteration, it sounds like a terrier? Or rather, 'General' Ray. What does Liu Tao think? Should he introduce himself? He is a general, a general, and a thunder.

After all, the envoy came to meet him, and it was normal for the country name to be followed by an official name. It's fast, so it sounds like building a thunderbolt.

"You're in the Wa Kingdom, are you a general?" Liu Tao asked tentatively.

"Yes, Your Majesty, General!" Jian Yu Lei nodded, or the general named 'Lei'. Of course, whether it is called 'thunder' or not is another matter, after all, it is only the result of transliteration.

Considering the problem of translation, especially the advocacy of 'Xindaya' in later generations, it is not surprising that there is such a translation as Jian Yulei.

It is also possible that Cao Pi listened to him introduce himself and thought that he was building a royal thunder, so it was equivalent to giving a name. The evidence is that Jianyu Lei's son Jianyu Mingfang also uses Jianyu as his surname. Question: In this era, Japanese surnames are not perfect, right?

In history, the surname Jianyu is basically just these two fathers and sons. It gives people the feeling that compared to the original surname, it is more likely that 'King Wei gave the surname'.

"So I should call you General Lei, right?" Liu Tao continued to ask, so he didn't want to 'give a surname'.

"Yes!" Lei nodded, not understanding why the Han Emperor was entangled in this.

"Okay, General Lei, this time you came from the Wa Kingdom, thousands of miles away, what is the so-called matter?" Liu Tao asked formally.

"Minister, bring, gifts. Hopefully, big man, make friends! Ray stumbled.

Liu Tao looked at Lu Wen from the Ministry of Rites, who nodded, indicating that this widow had indeed brought a gift. Also compared to a finger, indicating the average. It may seem very expensive to them, or even rare, but for the big man, it may be average.

However, diplomacy cannot be counted like that, courtesy and affection can be heavy, as long as the exchanges between the two sides are profitable, then you can have deep friendship.

The question is, what benefits can the Japanese state bring to itself? Population? Forget it, even if a large vaccination army is organized over there, it is estimated that no one will like the widows. It is said that the average Japanese women are the real Japanese natives, and only the nobles, that is, the foreign population, can be close to the aesthetics of China.

It's just that the foreign population and the local population have multiplied for so many years, and it is estimated that there is a big gap between the appearance and the local people in China. Liu Tao also has to worry that intermarriage with the Japanese will lower the average height of Huaxia.

There are a lot of metals in the country, such as gold mines, silver mines, and it seems that there are also a lot of copper mines. It just so happens that China is short of copper, considering the subsequent economic development, to be honest, Liu Tao plans to mint gold and silver into five baht coins.

For example, one silver five-baht coin is worth ten copper five-baht coins. One gold five-baht coin is a hundred copper five-baht coins; It is even possible to mint solid gold and silver coins. For example, a silver coin is worth 50 copper and 5 baht coins, and a gold coin is worth 500 copper and 5 baht coins......

This has to be discussed with the Ministry of Households, and at the same time cooperate with Dahan Bank in charge of Liu Hua before it can be launched.

There are not so many gold and silver mines in Huaxia mainland, so you can consider getting them from Yamatai. This is obviously more valuable than seafood or furs, or even slaves.

"It's okay to make friends, but I need to set up a trading dock in Yamadai, north and south." Liu Tao replied.

"That's, what? Minister, stupid ......" Lei didn't understand a little, and then realized something, and hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

"It's a place where ships are allowed to dock and trade with you." Liu Tao explained.

"Great Han, trade, welcome!" Lei said in surprise, this news is too good. He came here to find a way to get some big men's weapons and armor back.

"In order to protect the trading docks, I have to send someone to guard it." Liu Tao reminded.

"It should, it should!" Ray didn't refuse, and even felt that it was better.
