Mingzhou is a foreign businessman, there is a lot of news, and the people may not be as concerned about current affairs as the citizens of Bianjing at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but no one is a fool.

Zhengdan envoy only arrived in Mingzhou at this time, no matter how to taste, there is not much taste.

Those businessmen of the two countries who are familiar with the exchanges between China and Japan even smelled a strange smell at the first time.

Japan is very reserved, why is it suddenly flattering?

And the wise man soon thought of Goryeo, and then from today's Goryeo to today's Japan......

Businessmen may express their patriotic feelings when they are leisurely and elegant, but when interests are implicated, what are patriotic feelings?

Imagine the result of Zhao Song's bad relations with Japan, and the faces of many Mingzhou businessmen have changed greatly.

"What a good thing this is!"

The proprietor of the Mingzhou Huang Commercial Bank looked very uneasy.

As early as the Renzong Dynasty, the Huang family began to be involved in trade with Japan, from calligraphy, painting, paper and ink to tea, silk, cloth, and now the newly expanded ironware, cotton cloth, whale meat and horses, they have been in business for 100 years, and they have accumulated huge wealth. In Japan, the interests are extremely heavy. (Cows, horses, dogs, monkeys, and chickens are forbidden for half of the year.)

If the two countries start a sword, no matter what the outcome of Japan is, the Huang family's business will be greatly affected. This will eventually seriously affect the interests of his family.

"If Japan is strong, how should my family deal with it?"

After so many years of trade with Japan, the Huang family is familiar with the road and has benefited a lot, and there is no urgent need for ocean trade. It was only by taking advantage of the wind in the South Seas that a trade route to Luzon was opened, but the benefits of the latter were far from being comparable to that of Japan.

"Dong Weng, now that this matter is in the future, it is no longer something we can control. However, Japan is weak and weak, so no matter how rebellious the people in power are, they will not be unwise enough to be the enemy of our Great Song Dynasty, right? "In the past few years, the morale of Zhao Song officials and people has risen upward like a rocket, and it has reached the point where all businessmen and officials do not take Japan seriously.

And just when the Huang clan in Namingzhou was discussing countermeasures and cheering himself up, the news of the arrival of the Japanese mission was also sent to Bianjing in a hurry by 600 miles.

It was only three days before the news reached Zhao Gou.

The Japanese sent a Zhengdan envoy.

That didn't surprise him.

The character of the little devils who bully the weak and fear the hard is buried in the bones of their nation.

Why have the Japanese looked up to China over the past few hundred years? Didn't you be hurt and subdued by Li Tang, and then you 'admired the foreign'?

Your cultural prosperity is not the premise that they are afraid of you, you can beat him violently, hang him, is the root of their bowing.

Just like the little devils in modern history, when the towering China was bombarded by the cannons of the Western powers, the Japanese turned around and wanted to break away from Asia and join Europe.

At that time, the Japanese who worshipped the strong were full of reverence for Western civilization.

And in this era, the Japanese are watching the great changes that have taken place in the Great Song Dynasty in recent years, what choice will they make?

Is it to use a national war to integrate all aspects of the internal forces, and then bet on the old Ben's du? Or with awe and inexplicability, bow your head to the current Zhao Song and admit defeat?

In the previous few exchanges between envoys, Zhao Gou believed that they had 'seen' the strength of Zhao and Song, not to mention the many people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.

Japan still has a certain understanding of the Central Plains.

It's just that the time of the drastic changes in the Central Plains is too short, if the situation in Japan can continue, there is no major crisis, and Zhao Gou is not surprised to say that they can send an envoy to the Song Dynasty in a few years.

Now that the Zhengdan envoy is being sent, this is a show of weakness to Zhao Song, and they have never been like this before.

However, no matter what reason the Japanese give, it is not the truth. The real reason is that the little devils are showing toughness.

They are telling Zhao Song that I am soft and soft, but I am soft and hard, and I still have a handful of bones. Even Zhao Gou could think of the tribute sent by the Japanese, which must be extraordinarily rich!

Zhao Gou doesn't take Japan in his eyes, in the agricultural era, the gap between Japan and the Central Plains is something they can't catch up with.

This enemy he will leave to his son.

When civil strife breaks out in Japan, that is the best time to deal with them. Just like the previous Goryeo.

And now it's up to the little devils to play tricks.

Zhao Gou now only aimed his eyes at the court and the court.

Whether it is the Martyrs' Shrine or the Virtuous Ancestral Hall, they have already set off a huge storm inside and outside the government and the opposition. The former corresponds to the army, but the size of the time span is still to be discussed.

Is it from the founding period of the People's Republic of China, or from the year of Jingkang?

There are still endless debates between the government and the opposition and even in the military.

Then there's the Virtuous Temple, and the argument is even louder.

For example, people like Wang Anshi, Zhao Gou supports it, but there is opposition from both the government and the opposition.

Don't look at the later generations who have a positive attitude towards Wang Anshi's changes, but in the current world, there are too many people who have a negative attitude. Cai Jing is really tricky, he presents himself as the successor of Wang's new law and new learning, and holds the banner of reform to eliminate the opposition. It stinks so much that it stinks Wang Anshi.

Even many people believe that Zhao Song is in danger of Jingkang, and Wang Anshi and his changes are the fundamental reasons.

And what about Sima Guang?

There are also two Simas through the ages, and Zhao Gou is also hehe.

He has a very bad impression of smashing the cylinder. This man was the first to start the vice of large-scale partisanship; the first to use political correctness to exclude dissent; Abolish the new law, and there is no distinction between good and bad; Invoking friends and forging allies; Obey the enemy with virtue and abandon the territory of the country.

Paranoid and narrow-minded, even if you are a historian, you are worthy of being a famous minister through the ages?

But the courtiers generally praised it.

What Sima Wen Gong reformed the new law, or persuaded him to prevent future troubles, the public said: "If the sky is Zuo Song, there will be no such thing!" "I don't care about my own interests. Although a saint, but so to speak.

What is the public loyalty, filial piety, frugality, and integrity, out of nature, and its studious thirst for food and drink, and its wealth and wealth are like a foul smell; Sincerity and nature, the world believes.

What is the reason for its life, China's four Yi hope for its use, and its death, the city and the alley crying and thinking about its virtue, its ability to touch people's hearts is also so, is not caused by manpower, since ancient times.

To a certain extent, Zhao Gou had to equate him with the late Qing Dynasty scholar who "built the country, took faithfulness as armor, and etiquette and righteousness as the scholar".

However, this major event that made all the Zhao and Song dynasties and the opposition pay attention to it, also made the Japanese Zhengdan, who had only just set foot on land, make Taizheng Fujiwara Tadashi feel relaxed and happy.

"It is worthy of being the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains, and this wonderful method of easily winning the hearts of the army is really unprecedented, and no one can see it." In front of the officials of Honglu Temple, Fujiwara Tadashi clapped his hands and applauded, full of joy and sincerity.

"When we return to our homeland, we will certainly make a statement to the Emperor."

"It's true." The deputy envoy also chimed in. It looks like it's a big bargain.

This kind of thing that benefits and does not cost anything can indeed be learned by anyone. A smile spread across the faces of the people of Honglu Temple.

After a shiver, Fujiwara Tadashi sent his deputy envoy back, and looked at the Song Dynasty officials who had retired together, and his happy face immediately became gloomy.
