Chapter 979: The Envoy Visits
There is no need to continue persecuting Tokugawa Yoshihiro, this is already a dead man. Seeing the way he made a brazen attack, their bushido seemed to be rushing in a strange direction, crashing into it without looking back.
Standing up, Leng Feng said coldly: "Although you Japanese people are a little miserable, you must still have a place to shelter from the wind and rain when you live in Honglu Temple, so you don't need to be stationed here and pretend to be pitiful." As for the dealer who was injured by you just now, Tokugawa, what can you do if you hack two of your men to death? Will it be able to repay his pain? ”
Tokugawa Yoshihiro's eyes lit up, and he took out a few pieces of silver cake from his arms and offered them with both hands.
Keichi walked over and took it for the head of the house. The silver of the Wa Kingdom is only the product of poor extraction, and it does not look very good. However, with these pieces of silver, the farmer's knife was not in vain.
Handing the silver to the farmers, Leng Feng said: "They have killed three people, you have been compensated, I am in charge of this matter, just go over." ”
A man who had been a soldier came out, took the silver, and said loudly: "No! My lord, give this money to the villain. ”
Leng Feng nodded, ignoring the trembling warriors of the Japanese Kingdom, and continued to go home with Di Renjie and Wang Xuance.
The villagers also ignored the Japanese people, and hugged Leng Feng and the others home with a smile.
If today's affairs are handled by ordinary officials, most of them will be with the mud, and no matter how bad the Japanese people are, these few good people will also have the name of envoys. But after the protector took over, it was pleasant. The people in the military are just doing things, and if they only hurt one of their own people, they will ask for three lives of these bastards, as well as compensation, such an unequal transaction is really too enjoyable.
It is said that the country is strong and the people are rich, and today's Datang is no longer a sleeping lion, but a dragon snoring with thunder, and no one dares to wake up. At the beginning, the herdsmen of the North Sea all fled to the Mediterranean and other places to seek new land, but the Tang Dynasty focused on the western defense line, which has always been an ornament.
But even so, a herdsman with a Datang household registration dared to hold a dung fork alone to stop the team of people and horses to ask. No one dared to do anything, even the passing envoy team could only say yes and ask for permission. At the beginning, a half-Tang household registered in the Western Regions strayed into the Turkic border and was killed, and the border army general Xue Rengui really drove straight to the border with a large group of people, grabbed the Turkic general's neck and asked if he wanted to go to war.
Knowing that the generals of the Tang Dynasty wanted to go to war, the helpless Turkic generals cut their faces with knives, and swore that this matter was done by a herdsman. It wasn't until he offered a large amount of compensation that Xue Rengui led the team back to Datang.
No one thinks that this Turkic general is a soft persimmon, and he can settle a sword fight with compensation, which is an incomparably good deal.
How many times have the nomads shown the power of iron hooves to the Central Plains, and the persecuted Central Plains people can only pay tribute and sue for peace. On a recent occasion, Jieli of the Eastern Turks was on the shore of Weishui and extorted the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, and then led his troops back to the grassland.
But now, it's the other way around. In order to make the irascible generals of the Tang Dynasty more stable, they had to work up and down, trying to get these generals to say good things for them.
When he got home, Leng Feng asked Lao Yuan to find out the information in the warehouse, and also sent Leng Rui to help Di Renjie and Wang Xuance sort it out together.
William has helped the family increase some income over the years, because he is not a Tang Min, he can't become a retainer, he can only be a steward. That's it, I didn't give up, and I have been running between Datang and Europe for many years.
Although he learned to speak Tang dialect, Chinese characters made William suffer, so Leng Feng taught him pinyin. Therefore, the information recorded by William has only a few Chinese characters, and more of them are pinyin. Although Di Renjie could, without Leng Rui's help, Wang Xuance could only stare at him and couldn't do anything.
The girl is back, with a big belly, and she is still leading a girl.
No one in the Leng family's eldest lady dared to chew her tongue and pick the girl, picked up her granddaughter, and looked at Yao Nianen, who was full of energy, Leng Feng said helplessly: "The five-grade official positions of the imperial court can't touch your heart, it seems that you are really ready to teach in the Academy of Literature?" ”
Yao Nianen said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I found that whether you are an official or a teacher, it is a way to accumulate prestige. The only difference is that the officials earn a little more. Students don't want the whole family to ring their food, as long as they are ordinary. Teaching in the Faculty of Letters, the popularity will slowly accumulate, and there will be more time to do what interests you and spend time with your family, so why not? ”
If others listen to Yao Nianen's words, they will definitely reprimand him for not seeking progress. But to Leng Feng's ears, he was very shrewd. People live a lifetime, and in the end it is stupid if they do not enjoy some of the good things in life.
After visiting his father-in-law, Yao Nianen went into the study, he clearly wanted to see the history of Europe. Since it was not a secret, there was no need for Leng Feng to stop him.
The servants and maids in the family have changed more than once, but the people who serve Leng Feng have always been close to a few people. As long as he is in the gazebo, Liu Shuwen or Xiaocai will embroider on the side, and Lao Yuan or Lao Li will also wait for the instructions of the head of the house not far away.
Napping is a good thing, Leng Feng found that taking a lazy nap at noon can give him more energy to do things in the afternoon.
However, a good nap was destined to be in the soup, and after sleeping for less than half an hour, Lao Yuan woke up the head of the house and reported that the envoys of Silla Baekje were going to visit, and a lot of gifts were given, and there were a few beautiful women.
After experiencing the incident of Goryeo obstructing Silla Baekje, no matter how much courage they lent to the Wa Kingdom, they did not dare to obstruct the pilgrimage of Silla Baekje.
People's gifts are well prepared, and it is really inappropriate not to see them.
Visits are usually made in the morning, because I can have lunch by the way, and it is better to talk about it at the dinner table. It's really unusual for someone like Silla Baekje to come over in the afternoon.
After washing, Leng Feng wore loose clothes and waited to meet the envoy in the small study.
The living room is not suitable, as a kingdom, if Leng Feng uses the living room to receive the envoys of these two small countries, he may be impeached and rude.
Not long after, Lao Yuan walked into the study with two people.
"Kaohsiung Shin, the envoy of Silla in the lower kingdom (Kim Hyun-myung the envoy of Baekje in the lower country), has met the prince of the upper kingdom."
As soon as they entered the door, the two of them fell to their knees and introduced themselves in very correct Tang dialect.
In the past, envoys did not need to bow down except for the Hajj to the emperor. But since the whole world attacked the Tang Dynasty, these envoys have changed their habits. Not to mention the duke, even if it was a marquis, asking them to kneel, they were not ambiguous.
Leng Feng did not look down on these people, and there was no shame in groveling for the sake of the country.
Except, of course, the kind of mud people who cut their own people.
