That's a good thing! If you are an official and not a citizen, is you still a good official?

100,000 stone of grain is not much, but there is still some stock of grain in Kyoto in recent years, and it will be moldy and rotten in the warehouse, so it is better to take it out and sell it to Fujiwara Shuxiong, which can be regarded as a good governance of the imperial court.

"One hundred and fifty thousand stones!"

Ji Bei Zhenbei stretched out a palm and struck it twice, and said with great satisfaction: "I can sell you 150,000 stone of grain first, and I should be able to help Hizen Province survive the current famine crisis!" ”

This figure was said by Kibi Zhenbei after careful consideration, 150,000 stone is indeed not much, one stone of grain is 120 catties, and a person normally consumes four stone of grain a year, which means that 40,000 or 50,000 people can be saved.

However, sometimes this calculation method is wrong, at least in times of disaster, if the distribution of 150,000 koku grain is reasonable, and as long as the disaster victims survive this winter, they can still find some grain in the wilderness to satisfy their hunger, so the sale of 150,000 koku grain to Hizen Province is just an acceptable figure for Kibi Shinbei.

Of course, Kibi Zhenbei has his own ideas, Fujiwara Shuo wants to buy 100,000 stones, and he sold him 150,000 stones at once, which also plugs Fujiwara Shio's mouth, this is the first time, and the last time, there is no next batch of food, it is worried that Fujiwara Shuo will take advantage of the famine year to take the opportunity to make Hizen Country bigger and stronger, which is the result that Kibi Zhenbei does not want to see.

Hozen Province is not the only country affected by the disaster!

Fujiwara Shuxiong was stunned at first, but immediately thought of something, guessed what Kibi Zhenbei was thinking, and was not angry, 150,000 stones are already good, let's get it in my hands first.

"Thank you! On behalf of the people of Hizen Province, I would like to thank Dazai Daiji! ”

At this moment, Fujiwara Shuo represented all the victims of the disaster in Hizen Province, and he was grateful for Kibi Shinbi's decision, so he almost built a shrine for Kibi Shinbi with tears in his eyes.

Kibi Shinbei took out a stack of papers, listened to Fujiwara Shuo's introduction over and over again, recorded what happened in Hizen Province over and over again, and stopped from time to time to ask a few words, very seriously, as if he was afraid of missing something.

Kibi Shinbei became more and more shocked the more he listened, the pen in his hand had paused several times, there was a little difference between what he saw in Hizen and what he heard from Fujiwara Shuo's mouth, after all, he was a casual observer, and he couldn't study it in depth, and when Fujiwara Shuo finished his ambitious plan, Kibi Zhenbei was already shocked and couldn't speak.

"You want to make the port of Nagasaki in Hizen Province a window to the outside world? Tang merchants are also allowed to have their own leased areas in the port of Nagasaki, do you know what you are doing? ”

Kibi Zhenbei found that Fujiwara's courage was getting fatter and fatter, and in ancient times, a country had several ports that were not decided by local officials, of course, the Wa State did not have strong control over the Linglu State in various places, but it can't be said that there was no, isn't this a clear confrontation with the policy of the Wa State? He also leased the port of Nagasaki to Tang merchants and set aside a large leased area, what is this to do, to sell the country for glory?

At this moment, Kibi Zhenbei has been trembling with Fujiwara Brushing's arrogance, although Fujiwara Brushing just told him just now that Hizen Province was able to survive the famine this time because of Tang Shang's taxes in Hizen Country, but this could not change the imperial court's control over entering and leaving the country, at least before the imperial court agreed, there was no difference between doing so and despising the imperial court, who gave Fujiwara Brusho the courage to do so.

"Yes!"

Fujiwara Shuxiong said calmly: "Don't worry, Dazai Daiji, please listen to me explain to you slowly?" ”

Kibi Zhenbei had an angry look on his face, if it weren't for the fact that Hizen Country was proud under the governance of Fujiwara Shuo, I am afraid that he would have turned his face and left long ago, what patience there was to sit here and continue to listen to Fujiwara Shuo's explanation.

Of course, Fujiwara Shuxiong knows why Kibi Zhenbei is angry, when Zhen Qian proposed to lease Nagasaki Port, he was also 100,000 unwilling, this kind of thing was regarded as a loss of power and humiliation of the country, but after listening to Zhen Qian's explanation, he began to waver, and now he is just telling Zhen Qian's words to himself to Jibi Zhenbei, I believe that Jibi Zhenbei can also understand why he agreed to lease Nagasaki Port in the first place.

"Dazai, Daji, you want to ,...... Tang Shang came to the Wa Kingdom to do something, didn't he want to make money? ”

Kibi Zhenbei listened to Fujiwara Shuxiong's explanation, kept nodding, and was unconsciously moved by Fujiwara Shuxiong's explanation, if you want the horses to run fast, you have to give the horses grazing, Tang Shang is the same, businessmen can't afford to be early, why should they help the Wa State, the money in the Wa State is the money of the Wa State, if the Tang Shang finishes doing business, take all the money away, the money is the Tang Dynasty, but if the Tang Shang has a place of his own in Nagasaki Port, can he still build without worry? And the money for the construction is still paid by Tang Shang himself, which is equivalent to borrowing other people's chickens to lay eggs for himself, such a good thing can't be found if you want to, and you can't ask for it, can Fujiwara brush go out?

Kibi Shinbei felt that what Fujiwara Shuo said made some sense, but he always felt that something was wrong there, but he didn't know what it was, so he opened his mouth and thought for a long time before saying, "So, Nagasaki Port is still from the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"Nagasaki Port is placed there, can Tang merchants move back to Datang!" Fujiwara said with some smugness.

Of course, this is after the transaction, and the Tang merchants do not have to pay customs duties and transaction taxes to the Japanese before the transaction, but the goods have been shipped to the Japanese country, and they are worried that they will fly away, and the taxes are a matter of time.

"You have convinced me for the time being, but this matter must be played to the court, you can't mess around!"

Fujiwara Shuo glanced at his mouth, and said in his heart: "Forget it, the Fujiwara clan has known about this matter for a long time, if it weren't for Kibi Zhenbei's arrival in Hizen Country and the fact that the matter of Nagasaki Port couldn't be hidden, he wouldn't have played any court at all, and it would be impossible for the fat to spit out in his mouth ......." ”

Ji Bei Zhenbei thought for a while and said: "This time I came to Feiqian Country and wanted to see Zhen Qian, why is Zhen Qian not in Feiqian Country now?" ”

"Zhen Qian is afraid that he is in Saga Town now, so I will send someone to inform him!"

"Saga Town!" Of course, Kibi Zhenbei knew about Saga Town, but he didn't understand why Zhen Qian was in Saga Town, not in Matsuura City, could there be something he didn't know about.

"That's the ......", seeing that Ji Bei was really puzzled, Fujiwara Shuo hurriedly explained: "Zhen Qian said that he wants to know more about the people and people of the Wa Kingdom, and he wants to go around the Hizen Country, and I can't stop him, right?" ”
