Chapter 148: Mind
Huangzhou Xiyang, Wuwei Zhai, Yuwen 15 is meeting guests, accompanied by the big shopkeeper Wang Yue, they entertain guests, is the "returned overseas Chinese" Sima Nai and his party. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It lasted nearly a year, Sima Nai visited the famous mountains and ancient temples in the Central Plains, collected a large number of Buddhist scriptures, and invited three Buddha statues, as well as several eminent monks, during which he went back to his hometown by the way.
Sima Nai's father Sima Da and others are Liang people of the Southern Dynasty, nearly 60 years ago to the east to the Wa Kingdom and then settled, since then never returned to the Central Plains homeland, this time Sima Nai returned to the Central Plains to collect Buddhist scriptures, naturally to go back to his hometown to see.
Sima Nai, who only existed in his father's memories of his hometown, saw it with his own eyes, filled the clay pot with his hometown, and brought it back to the Wa Kingdom to let his father smell the smell of home.
He was born in the Wa Kingdom, grew up in the village of the Dulai people, and had little impression of the homeland of the Central Plains.
Big, really big.
Compared with the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, the territory of the Wa Kingdom is not Erer.
"This time, thanks to Guogong's dots, it will be unimpeded on the next road, even if it is to Jiangnan Chenguo, there are people along the way to take care of it." Sima Nai said sincerely, but Gongyu Wenwen of the State of Yi was leading the troops outside, and he couldn't thank him in person.
Yuwen 15 smiled when he heard this: "The young village lord is polite, Guogong received the favor of Sima Village Lord in the Waguo Boduo back then, and the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, and the young village master can just say what he needs." ā
"I don't know what the previous Kokuko said about the sea route..."
"Don't be anxious, the sea route is dangerous, the route from Jiankang to Hakata is still being explored, seeing that the spring breeze is rising, the sea ship is about to go on trial, and you have to go a few rounds to rest assured."
Speaking of this, Yuwen 15 did not forget to emphasize again: "I also have to bother the young village master to arrange it in Hakata, so that our sea ships will not be turned away when they arrive." ā
"This is nature, everything is as it is said, if there is no ciphertext, it is not a ship sent by the Duke of Yi."
"The Duke of the Kingdom is leading the troops outside, and he left a letter for me to pass it on to the young village master, asking the young village master to hand it over to the Sima village master after returning to the Japanese country."
Yuwen 15 took out a beautiful wooden box and opened it, there was a letter inside, Sima Nai closed the wooden box after looking at it, and solemnly saluted: "Please rest assured that it will be handed over to my father." ā
As Yuwen Wen's cronies, Yuwen Fifteen replaced Lord Lang to entertain Sima Nai, who was about to return to China, before Yuwen Wen traveled, he had already explained the relevant matters in detail, in addition to Yuwen Fifteen, Wang Yue was also responsible.
Sima Nai and his entourage went north by land from Huangzhou, and set off to return to China after "registering" in Yecheng, taking the road that the Japanese sent Zhou envoys to, but with Yu Wenwen's arrangement, there was no need to worry about anything along the way.
His association with the people from the Wa Kingdom was recorded in the imperial court, so Sima Nai and his entourage could justifiably stay at the post station along the way, until they boarded the ship and left the Central Plains, which was a semi-official official status.
But these benefits do not include Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, and monks who accompanied Sima Nai to the Wa Kingdom to spread the Dharma.
Therefore, Wang Yue's duty is to arrange people to help Sima Nai transport Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, as well as food and accommodation for monks.
The Huangzhou caravan traveled back and forth between Yecheng and Xiyang, and the accommodation along the way had formed a network, and Wang Yue arranged for the caravan to travel with Sima Nai to help transport goods and people, not only to Yecheng, but also to the seaside to board the ship.
Among the wealthy businessmen in Yecheng, there are partners of Huangzhou merchants, with the help of the other party's network, Wang Yue can pack tickets to ensure that Sima Nai has no worries all the way, of course, based on the heart of prevention, everything is carried out within the scope of the government's permission.
Yu Wenwen didn't want to be honest, and he was saddled with the stigma of "colluding with Fanbang and selling contraband and people".
Seeing such a comprehensive itinerary, Sima Nai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The care of Duke Di is unforgettable, and I will make it clear to Minister Su after returning to China!" ā
"Young village master, Guogong said that his interaction with Sima Village Lord is upright, so the envoy of your country should not contact Guogong privately, and he must conform to the laws of the imperial court."
"This is nature, this is nature!"
Of course, Sima Nai knew what was at stake, the Central Plains Imperial Court had always looked down on the Wa State, and the ministers were even more lazy to interact with the envoys of the Wa State, if someone was like this, it was easy to be splashed with sewage.
Fornication with Fanbang, what's the intention?!
Yuwen Wen is cautious, Sima Nai understands, and he can't ask for it, and their dealings with Yuwen Wen can be officially recognized, which is also a major breakthrough, and this is the first time in hundreds of years.
The kings of the Wa Kingdom sent envoys to the Central Plains, except for asking for a title and some rewards to go back, and the Central Plains court had little interest in interacting with the Wa Kingdom, which had been the case for hundreds of years.
If it were in the past, it would have been like this, but the newly rising Su I clan of the Japanese state has always advocated strengthening exchanges with the Central Plains, introducing talents and technology, and reforming the backward political, economic, and cultural systems of the Japanese state.
The introduction of Buddhism to counter the local religion controlled by the old aristocracy, and the reuse of the people to fight against the power of the old aristocracy, the Su family has been doing these things, but there are still too few people in the crossing, and they want to communicate with the Central Plains court, but the other party ignores it.
It was at a loss that the gods blessed, and a gust of wind blew the Duke of Zhou to Boduo, and it was easy to catch this line, thinking that the other party was just talking about it, but it turned out to be true.
Sima Nai has been in the Central Plains for nearly a year, and has a general understanding of the current situation in the Central Plains, Yuwenwen's status is noble, but he is not an idle clan, he has power, soldiers, and territory, and his uncle is the pillar of the Zhou clan.
Although the Zhou State is now Wei Chi Cheng is quite powerful, the strength of the Yuwen clan is still not small, with the support of such a powerful nobleman, the desire of the Wa State to expand exchanges with the Central Plains is very likely to be realized.
Sima Nai had already seen Yuwenwen's methods, and he knew that Zhou Guo and Chen Guo were now in a hostile state, but Yuwenwen was able to let him unhindered in Chen Guo, what did this mean?
It shows that this Duke of Di has someone in the Chen State, and that person's status is not ordinary, this kind of thing can't be inquired about, but Sima Nai has already seen that Yu Wenwen's actual strength is stronger than the strength on the surface.
Thinking of the current Shannan Zhou army's breakthrough of the Sui capital, the future situation is likely to be that the Zhou State will become the overlord of the Central Plains again, and it will naturally be beneficial to have a good relationship with a powerful person like Yuwenwen.
At that time, if it can prompt the Zhou State to send an envoy to the Wa State, it will be the first time in thousands of years, and with such a great achievement in hand, the position of the Minister of Su and I in the court will be even more stable!
Thinking of this, Sima Nai rejoiced, he was not a fool, knowing that Yuwenwen was so "enthusiastic" not only to repay his kindness, Huangzhou was commercially developed, and it all depended on Yuwenwen's support, so this idea was about to come out.
He pondered that this Duke of the State of Yi has the means to do business, and what he is asking for is probably related to doing business, and now that he has confirmed Yu Wenwen's strength, it is time to explain the bottom of Su and Ma Zi before leaving.
Sima Nai got up and said solemnly to Yuwen Fifteen: "Leader Yuwen, please convey your thoughts, what does the Duke need from the Wa State, Minister Su I will do it no matter what!" ā
"Hakata Port, forever open to the fleet of the Duke of Di!" (To be continued.) )
