Outside the city, in the temporary camp of the Japanese Mission.

The queen was indifferent to the exquisite Chinese cuisine in front of her.

The crown prince of the stables ate the fish stew, and sighed, he couldn't imagine that the fish could be eaten like this. As the Japanese people of the island country, they naturally eat a lot of fish, but they really have never eaten such exquisite food.

The royal family of the Japanese Kingdom usually uses fish skin to wipe the filth in the toilet, and fish is just a relatively low-grade food in the impression of the Japanese royal family.

After Buddhism was introduced from the Central Plains through Baekje, the Wa Kingdom began to worship Buddhism, and there was a prohibition on not eating meat, although this prohibition was constantly revised, and now it has become impossible to eat the meat of cattle, horses, dogs, apes, chickens and other animals with legs, and fish is not restricted, but the royal family and nobles can generally only eat simple fried fish and boiled fish, this kind of exquisite sashimi, they really have never eaten it.

The crown prince of the stable picked up another slice and ate it in admiration.

"This Central Plains Dahua is good at everything, everything is high-end, living in a glorious city, luxurious houses, wearing gorgeous clothes, eating exquisite food, their life is really good. Even if it is an ordinary poor person, everyone has a field to cultivate, all of them are homesteaders, and those nobles are even more silk and satin, porcelain bowls and iron pots, tea and wine, which is too enviable. I decided, when I go back, I will study the Qin State in an all-round way, starting with the construction of a new Qin-style capital, I have thought of the name of this capital, it will be called Heianjing, and when Heianjing is built, I will move from Asuka City to the new capital, where the new policy will be fully started. ”

The Empress sighed.

"But all of this has to pass the Great Qin Pass first. If Qin Tianzi refuses to forgive my Wa Kingdom for its crime of opposing Qin, there is no need for Da Qin to send a large army to conquer it, just those pirates who are now attacking and harassing us in groups can destroy my Wa Kingdom! ”

The prince of the stable silently put down his chopsticks.

"What does the Emperor think we need to do to get Great Qin to forgive us?"

The queen sighed, "We were too ignorant and arrogant at the beginning, and now we can only try to find a way to get Daqin's understanding." As long as Da Qin is Ken, no matter what the conditions, we have to accept it. ”

The crown prince of the stable couldn't help but sigh.

"Since the loss of our territory in Renna on the Korean Peninsula, we in Yamato have been troubled internally and externally over the years.

In today's Wa State, land annexation is prevalent, the tenant system is widely emerging, and the powerful people in Guizhou cut the mountains, seas, forests, and fields of the country and counties to think that they have made money, and they are constantly fighting, or annexing tens of thousands of hectares of land, or there is no place for needles at all, and the tribal and civil system of the foundation of the Wa State is weakened and facing collapse.

The weakening of the Minzu system deepened social contradictions, made the ruling class more turbulent, and seriously affected the status of the imperial court.

After defeating the Monobe clan, the Soga clan was even more powerful, and they supported several emperors, and the country's military and financial power was in their hands.

The war against Silla, coupled with the construction of palaces, mausoleums, and Buddhist temples, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, caused the people to suffer unspeakably, and now the revolt of the tribes in the Wa Kingdom is increasing, and they are rising up to wage armed struggle against the nobles.

The royal family has been hollowed out by the ministers and nobles, and the people at the bottom have also risen up to rebel against the court and the nobles, which makes the current royal family almost become a puppet of the ministers and nobles.

The Empress Tuigu and the Crown Prince of the Stables were both supported by the powerful minister Su I Mazi, but the Su I clan was authoritarian and arbitrary, so that the empress and the crown prince were extremely dissatisfied, but their power itself came from the Su I clan.

"If you can get rid of Su's Mazi, and then follow the example of the Great Qin reform system, abolish the royal family's tuncang, the nobles' fields and the people, all nationalized, become public land, citizens, and then learn from the Great Qin to implement Bantian land, the implementation of rent modulation, Bantian every six years, the imperial court every six years, the class to men over six years old to divide the field into two sections, women for two thirds of men, slaves and maids for one of the three citizens, public slaves and maids and citizens are the same. After the death of the farmer, the land was divided and returned to the public, and the farmers of Bantian undertook the rent and paid two bundles and two handfuls of rented rice for each section! ”

The more the crown prince of the stable said, the more excited he became, these were the new reform policies that he and his courtiers had come up with after summarizing some of what they had seen and heard in Daqin during this time.

They believe that the key to the current weakness of the Wa state is that the royal power has fallen, and the aristocracy, especially the people, has lost their land, so the foundation of the country has been lost. If you want to change all this, you must learn from the centralization of power in Great Qin, which is to first recover the land from the royal family and nobles, and then give it to the people who have lost their land.

The people who were granted land paid rent to the imperial court and were transferred to serve.

The fields were public land, and the army was also owned by the imperial court, so that the Wa Kingdom could be reborn from the current backwardness and chaos, and could become a country as advanced as the Great Qin.

It's a pity that there is one biggest obstacle to all this, that is, Su's Mazi, Su My Mazi is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and he is also the most powerful 'minister' in the Imperial Court of the Japanese Dynasty today, and the two important positions of Dalian and Daban are also in the hands of Su I's.

"Maybe you can ask Qin Tianzi to let Su Ma Zi stay in the Great Qin Dynasty to serve the emperor on behalf of my Wa Kingdom." The queen said suddenly.

"Okay, this trick is good, if we can make Su I Mazi unable to return to China, then Su I clan will be leaderless, in this way, we can regain the power of the imperial court, re-appoint the virtuous, learn from Daqin, and also set up three provinces and six departments, and set up countries, counties, and li in the locality, and send national divisions, county divisions, and li chiefs to govern."

"Re-institutionalize the ranks, give the nobles official ranks, assign them to the fiefdoms and eats, and the lower nobles give cloth as a stipend."

The queen interrupted the crown prince.

"If Qin Tianzi wants to forgive us for our anti-Qin crimes, and let Daqin leave Su Ma Zi, we have to come up with a sufficient price, what kind of price do you think can satisfy Daqin?"

The crown prince of the stable couldn't help frowning.

What could the Wa Kingdom have to appease the anger of Qin Tianzi?

"It was rumored before that the Qin people had discovered Iwami Silver Mountain and Besko Copper Mountain, do you think this is true?"

The Besko Copper Mine was located on Iyo-no-Nina Island in Wa Province, which later became Shikoku Island, which was one of the three major islands of Wa Province.

Iyo-no-Ninajima, also known as Iyo Island, is smaller than Tsukushijima (Kyushu) to the east and much smaller than Yamato Island, the base camp of Wakoku.

"If we cede Iyo Island, where Besko Copper Mountain is located, to Great Qin, can Great Qin forgive us for opposing Qin and re-admit our Wa Kingdom as a vassal state of Great Qin?"

"But I'm afraid that a small Iyo Island can't satisfy the Qin people, with the strength of the Qin people, they can completely annex the entire Wa Kingdom."

"If it really doesn't work, then we will cede Zhuzi Island to the Qin people." The crown prince of the stable household was ruthless, "As long as the Son of Heaven is willing to detain Su Ma Zi in Qin and re-admit my Wa Kingdom as a vassal." Not only can we cede the two islands of Tsukushi and Iyo to the Qin State, but we will also pay tribute to the Great Qin every year and open up trade to them! ”

If you can't calm the anger of the Qin state, you may have to lose the country, and Goguryeo and Baekje are lessons from the past.

If the anger of the Qin State can be appeased, then it will be helpless to cede the two islands. Just like when the Japanese State finally gave up Ren Na on the Korean Peninsula, which had been conquered and operated a lot, it was a strong man's move to break his wrist.

The territory of Renna Prefecture is not smaller than that of Iyo Island, and the Japanese people have been in business for many years, but in the end they have not only given up this bridgehead to occupy Korea.

Now that the destruction of the country is imminent, I can only endure the pain and take out Iyo to appease the anger of the Qin people, if it is not possible, then take out Tsukushi Island and give it to the Qin people.

At the very least, the mainland of Yamato Island can be preserved.

"Okay, crown prince, you will draft a national document now, and then present the Great Qin Emperor, first mention the cession of Iyo Island, and test the attitude of the Qin people." The empress said slowly, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better to keep it first if she can send Chikushi Island.

"Well, I'm going to draft the credentials."
