"Ahh High-level envoys! This national letter! I'll put it here for the time being, and I'll discuss it with all Aiqing! Reply to the envoy again! Gao bowed to the metaphysics and returned:

"The minister of the outer world is waiting for His Majesty's reply to Xuanli!" When Gao Xiang Xuanli left. Li Jiancheng sneered.

"Humph! High Direction Metaphysics! Wa King! Since you have given me such a sharp weapon, I will make good use of it! After Li Jiancheng made up his mind, he immediately issued an order to select people from Jiangnan and Qilu who were familiar with the dynamics of the Japanese kingdom and come to Chang'an to face the saint. Soon, several children of the Zhang family in Jiangnan came to Chang'an.

"Minister! Zhang Zihe! Minister! Zhang Shangning! Minister! Zhang Mengxing! See Your Majesty! ”

"Ahh The three Aiqing are flat! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Three Aiqing! You and the others are all members of the Zhang family in Wu County! Li Jiancheng found that Zhang Zihe, Zhang Shangning, and Zhang Mengxing also brought a lot of big boxes.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Li Jiancheng was surprised for a moment, and then relieved. The Jiangnan family, Wang, Xie, Gu, Lu, Xiao and other families, most of them are married to the royal family of the Southern Dynasty and the Central Plains family. He was active in the court of the Southern Dynasties. And the Zhang family, since Zhang Zhao offended Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms, he has been suppressed many times, even if the north and south confronted each other later, the court of the Southern Dynasty did not have the figure of the Zhang family. It is understandable that the focus is on business. The Central Plains trade route has many checkpoints, especially in troubled times. The development of maritime trade routes is much more profitable than that on the road. What's more, during the period of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty, Jiankang City was known as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. And it is precisely because the Zhang family is engaged in business that it has reduced the involvement caused by the change of dynasty.

"I received Zhang Aiqing's recital, and Zhang Jiling Aiqing from Wu County, Jiangnan, recommended the three of you to me, saying that the three of you are very familiar with the Japanese Kingdom." Zhang Zihe, Zhang Shangning, and Zhang Mengxing laughed.

"Qi Yu Sheng, that's because the three ministers are not only the descendants of the Zhang family in Jiangnan, but the matriarchal line of the three ministers is also the maternal line of the Wa Kingdom. And inside these big boxes are the books written by our great-grandfather! After listening to the words of Zhang Zihe, Zhang Shangning, and Zhang Mengxing, Li Jiancheng was surprised and relieved. It turned out that Zhang Zihe, Zhang Shangning, and Zhang Mengxing had mainly run the fleet of the Japanese State since their great-grandfather, and had feelings for the local naturalized people, and the great-grandfathers of Zhang Zihe, Zhang Shangning, and Zhang Mengxing, in addition to being merchants, were also scholars who liked history, and when they came into contact with the history of the planners of the Japanese Kingdom. He compiled the historical classics "Ancient Chronicles" and "Records of the Kingdom of the Empire", and in those boxes were the "Records of Ancient Affairs" and "The Records of the Kingdom of the Kingdom", which allowed Li Jiancheng to understand more clearly the origin of the naturalized people and the Central Plains, as well as their contributions to the Kingdom of Japan. During the Wuhu Rebellion, a large number of Han Chinese came to the Wa Kingdom through the Korean Peninsula, and the Han naturalized people from the Korean Peninsula often claimed to be descendants of Qin Shi Huang or Han Gaozu. After settling in the Wa Kingdom, their way of life, habits, and characteristics changed, but the psychological state, thoughts, feelings, and consciousness of the race could not be easily eliminated. Therefore, although they have settled in the Wa Kingdom for a long time, and even after they have become authentic Wa residents, they still consider themselves Han Chinese. The representatives of the naturalized people include the Qin clan, the Eastern Han Zhi clan, the Xiwenshou clan and other clans. According to the "Records of Ancient Affairs" and the "Records of the Wa Kingdom, Ying Shen Ji", around the beginning of the 4th century, Gong Yuejun led 120 counties of his people to naturalize the Wa Kingdom. This is where it came to be known as the Qin clan. Their activities in the Wa Kingdom were mainly in the field of agricultural technology and civil engineering related to agriculture. Sericulture and silk making are one of the main occupations of this ethnic group. Although there was already a silkworm and silk weaving industry in the Wa Kingdom at that time, the technology and quality were low, and after the Qin clan arrived in the Wa Kingdom, the sericulture and silk industry on the Wa Islands developed. Due to the servant and personal possession of the wealthy clans in various places, there are few naturalized Han people left who are independently engaged in production, which seriously affects the development of the silkworm industry, so the king of Xiongluo ordered the collection of the Qin family's relics, gave its leader the name of Jiugong, and led his people to raise silkworms and silk, and made contributions to Yong and tune, and the performance was remarkable. The king was overjoyed and gave the surname Boduo. Later generations used the Qin character as the Chinese character for Boduo and wrote it as Qin Jiugong. The Qin clan gradually accumulated wealth in the long-term production activities, and became a powerful local wealthy family, which was given the surname by the king of Wa, and became one of the important clan giants in ancient times. Its leader also became the right-hand man of the Wa king, formed the head of the regional group, and joined the high ruling group of the Wa king, becoming a member of the Wa kingdom ruler. The ancestor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the Achi Envoy. King Azhi (also written as Azhi), also known as Azhi Envoy, was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Han Xian, the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In that year, the Cao family destroyed the Han Dynasty and built the Wei Dynasty, and Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was demoted to the Duke of Shanyang by Cao Pi, and built the turbid deer city under Shanyang County. Later, the Sima clan destroyed Wei and established the Western Jin Dynasty, and the status of the Liu royal family did not change on the surface, but the actual situation began to deteriorate. In the tenth year of Taikang (289), Liu Azhi saw that the image of chaos in the world had been born at that time, so he convened the old ministers on the first day of the fifth month to discuss countermeasures. Liu Azhi said: "I have been here for a long time, I am afraid of the disaster of destruction, I heard that the eastern country is in Japan, there is a holy son of heaven", so he decided to lead his family to the east and go to Japan for refuge. In this way, Liu Azhi led his son Liu Duhe, his uncle Zhao Yude, and his clansmen Liu Guoding, Liu Taozi, Liu Heming, Liu Xinzi, and other men and women, a total of 2,040 people, to leave the Chinese mainland, drift across the sea, and after several difficulties, came to Japan on September 5, the 29th year of the Emperor Ojin of Japan. After King Achi arrived in Japan, he was given the title of envoy of the Eastern Han Dynasty by the Japanese emperor and was ordered to settle in Hizen Village, Takashi City, Yamato Province. In those years, he came to Japan with King Achi, and there were 7 surnames, including Duan, Guo, Li, Duo, Soap, Zhu, and Gao. After Achi came to Japan, he asked the Japanese emperor to send envoys to Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, and other countries, and recruited many of his fellow villagers who had been displaced in these places to Japan. Due to the large number of people and the narrow land, the Japanese emperor's government divided them into various places. They had the knowledge and technology to produce various handicrafts, and they made weapons and daily necessities such as armor, bows, arrows, spears, and shields for the Wa kings, and brought the technology of iron production from China and the Korean Peninsula to Japan. On this basis, they co-produced with the Wa people, and created the Japanese iron-smelting technology, which later became a treasure among the world's swords. The achievements of the Achi envoy family in the handicraft industry are remarkable, and the son of the Achi envoy, Liu Hedu, was later given the surname Naoto by the Japanese Emperor Yuroe, and the descendants took Nao as the surname. Some of them gradually became middle- and lower-level officials in the Japanese regime, and then became "official and wealthy clans", forming a force to be reckoned with in ancient Japanese society, and finally became the Eastern Han Nao clan with the surname Hao. The Xiwen Shou clan is another group of naturalized Han Chinese. Some of them arrived in the Wa Islands slightly earlier than the Qin and Eastern Han Zhis. The ancestor was an envoy sent to the Wa Kingdom by the King of Baekje, who sent Achiji (or Naoki) to Japan and gave him a horse and a horse, as well as a sword and a mirror. Because Ah Zhiqi understood the Chinese classics, the king ordered him to teach the crown prince Cocoon Daozhi Langzi to read Chinese classics. One day, the king asked him if there was anyone who knew more about Chinese classics than he did. He replied, "Yes." Wang Ren knew more about Chinese classics than he did. Therefore, the king sent an envoy to Baekje to summon Wang Ren. Wang Ren was summoned to Japan, and at the same time carried ten volumes of the Analects and one volume of the Thousand Character Essays. This is the legend about Wang Ren. Wang Ren contributed to the cultural exchange between China and Japan, and later evolved into the head of the Western Bun Chief. Wang Ren has some origins with the Wang family of Lelang County. The Wang family of Lelang County was originally a giant family surname on the Shandong Peninsula, and moved to Lelang County to avoid war and chaos, and served as a county guard there. Among his descendants are many intellectuals, who have held various official positions in Lelang County in successive dynasties. After the fall of Rajang-gun, some of them moved to Baekje. The descendants of the Wang family migrated from Baekje to Japan. Because the place where they live is close to the river, they are related to shipping, collection, management, and transportation of materials. After a long period of development, this clan has also formed a local wealthy family with a family name. In order to distinguish it from the Eastern Han Dynasty and the naturalized Han people, and live in the west of Yamato, it is called the Western Wen Shoushi. Among the naturalized people of this clan were many intellectuals, who were engaged in writing work in the government of the Wa kings. They are responsible for the collation of various account books and records in the government, and the drafting and translation of foreign affairs documents. Some of them may be descendants of translators who worked as translators during the Yamatai period. At that time, the foreign affairs work of the Wawang government was mainly diplomatic relations with China and diplomatic activities on the Korean Peninsula, both of which were in Chinese. As a result, Chinese characters and Chinese classics were gradually introduced to the Wa Kingdom through their hands, laying the foundation for the introduction of Chinese Confucianism to the Wa Kingdom. The Qin clan, the Eastern Han Zhi clan, the Xiwen Shou clan and other naturalized Han Chinese groups, with their large economic activities, gradually formed local clans and clans, entered the government of the Wa king, and became an integral part of the ruling class of the Wa state. They held a number of important positions, such as being in charge of the two warehouses of the Department of History and the Three Tibets of the Ministry of Tibet, the Inner Collection and the Great Collection. The naturalized Han Chinese repeatedly served as envoys to the government of the Wa Dynasty, and went to the Jin and Southern dynasties to handle foreign affairs. Their profound knowledge and experience in diplomatic activities influenced their direct rulers, the Soga clan, and gave them the upper hand in the struggle against the old Japanese forces. At the instigation of the Su I clan, the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhiju took advantage of his position to lurk in the palace and stabbed to death Emperor Chongjun, who opposed the Su I clan. The Han Chinese who have migrated to the Wa Kong Islands are not the only ones mentioned above. Since the Han Chinese naturalized people who entered the Wa Islands could not meet the needs of various talents, the Wa government also requested the Chinese government to support the required skilled workers through diplomatic channels, or recruited Chinese craftsmen through Baekje. These naturalized Han Chinese also contributed to the development of technology and culture of the Wa Kingdom, making the carving, painting, fabric, embroidery and other unique styles of the Wa Kingdom, which laid a solid foundation for the formation of the later Asuka culture. In addition to the influence on culture, textiles, sculpture, painting, fabrics, embroidery, etc. The introduction of Buddhism to the Wa Kingdom was also related to the naturalization of the Han Chinese. In the 30th year of the reign of the gods, a noble man who claimed to be the Emperor of the Han Dynasty crossed the sea to the Wa Kingdom, and he took the clay from the field in front of the thatched house in Shiga-gun's residence and made a three-foot-tall statue of a monk, and began to promote Buddhism. Due to his contribution to the spread of Buddhism, he was given the name Mitsu Hyakzhi by the Wa King. After the Sima clan of the Southern Dynasty, a man named Sima Dazhi came to the Wakuni Islands and lived in Sakata Village, Takaichi County, Yamato. He built a thatched hall and enshrined Buddha statues that the Japanese had never seen before, and bowed every day. Although the above two are legends, they show that in the process of the introduction of Buddhism to the Wa Kingdom, the naturalization of Han Chinese played a mediating role.

After listening to the introductions of Zhang Zihe, Zhang Shangning, and Zhang Mengxing, Li Jiancheng happily patted the dragon case in front of him.

"Good! It's great that I was able to get three Aiqing! What a boost! Ha ha! ”
