Chapter 179: Descendants of the Han people in the Kingdom of Wa
Of course, the essence of Wang Haoran's method of killing multiple birds with one stone is not good to say directly on the table, Rong Yilang took out a small box and opened it, inside was a fist-sized bead, and said gratefully: "The little young master has worked hard for the friendship between the Japanese country and the Tang Dynasty, and my Futian family is grateful, this is a night pearl, and the right is a little care from the Futian family to the little young master, and I hope the little young master will accept it with a smile."

Although Wang Haoran had heard of the Night Pearl in later generations, he had never seen it. Although he is short of others, he himself is in the front, and it is not too much to collect some benefits, so he did not shirk it, and politely took it over to play with it.
Although Pharmacist Huiri knew what to do about borrowing grain, he was a little uncertain about the details, and asked, "Little Master, what should I say when I wait until I meet His Majesty in the capital?" ”
"Your Majesty's intentions are just to tell your Majesty."
"But what if Your Majesty agrees in one bite?"
"Don't worry, I will write to Your Majesty."
Pharmacist Huiri smiled awkwardly, feeling that he had asked too much.
Later, they discussed the problem of the students of the lower Japanese country, and finally decided to leave a dozen or so students to learn the crafts of construction, cement, bricks, etc. Of course, Wang Haoran is still reluctant to pass on the technology in terms of machinery and equipment.
Inugami Mita and the others stayed in Zhongcheng for another two days, and after the remaining students settled down, they set off for Chang'an again. After half a month, Fukuda Eiichiro returned to Midtown to bid farewell to Wang Haoran, and he had to go back first to resume his life. In addition to the guards of the Wa Kingdom, there are also court officials and guards of the Tang Dynasty, who will be stationed in the Wa State to deal with the exchanges between the two places, so as not to spend several months back and forth to pass a word. At the same time, they can also obtain first-hand information about the situation of the Japanese state, which can be used by the Tang Dynasty to make decisions on the Japanese state. In fact, these were all proposed by Wang Haoran to Li Shimin.
After the Tang officials arrived in the Wa Kingdom, they were given a grand reception, and Emperor Shu Ming went to the port to greet the Tang envoys. The Wa Kingdom purchased a compound for the envoys of the Tang Dynasty as a place to live and work, similar to the embassy of later generations.
Of course, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty have to show off their national prestige when they arrive in the Wa Kingdom, right? The silk, cotton cloth, bicycles, pendulum clocks and other representative items they brought with them amazed the people of the Japanese Kingdom, and these things made them feel the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty more intuitively than what they had only said verbally.
After receiving Fukuda's return, Su I's family felt a little angry in his heart, and sent countless treasures to the Tang Dynasty, in exchange for a boatload of rice, which was given by the Tang Emperor for the sake of the Futian family being a descendant of Xu Fu! But so what? The powerful Datang is not something that the Wa State can afford to provoke, not to mention that the Wa State sent so many people to study in the Datang, and the Tang Emperor didn't say anything, and those treasures should be regarded as tuition.
As for Fukuda Eiichiro's report, Su I also got confirmation from the Tang Dynasty envoy, it seems that it will take some time to borrow food, it can be said that the far water can not save the near fire, but considering that the Japanese will have other problems in the future that need the support of the Tang Dynasty, so it is very necessary to close the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, so Emperor Shu Ming not only officially recognized the Futian family as the descendants of Xu Fu, but also ordered Fukuda Eiichiro to preside over the investigation work to find the descendants of Xu Fu and the people who crossed east with him. also deliberately explained that Fukuda Eiichiro did not need to be too rigorous when he inspected. In addition, Emperor Shu Ming also introduced a tax reduction policy for the descendants of the Han Chinese. With the enthusiasm of Eiichiro Fukuda and this decree, the result can be imagined, and the Wa Kingdom soon set off a craze for turning over the family tree.
Fukuda Eiichiro has set up registration points all over the country, and the situation was good in the first month, and the number of registered Han Chinese descendants is less than 10% of the total population of the Wa Kingdom. However, Eiichiro Fukuda noticed that the number of people registered in the next few days would double exponentially, and he could predict that more people would come to register in the future, and once the number touched the bottom line of the Soga clan, the Soga clan would inevitably take action to stop it. In order to register as much as possible, Fukuda Eiichiro reported the situation to Emperor Shu Ming in advance.
The puppet of Emperor Shu Ming didn't feel anything about this, but the big leader of the Su I clan, Su I Ezo, was a little dissatisfied, although he could also predict that in the future, there would be more people claiming to be descendants of the Han people and registering with fake genealogies, but how much more? I'm afraid it's less than 30 percent, right? Su I felt that the ideal state was nearly forty percent of the appearance, but with the current situation, this is basically impossible, so he said to Fukuda Eiichiro: The more the merrier.
Fukuda Eiichiro was secretly happy in his heart, he didn't care what the people of the Su family thought, in his cognition, the difference between the descendants of the Han people and the locals is actually the difference between the two camps of the Fukuda family and the Su I family, if the descendants of the Han people account for more than half of the total population of the Japanese country, then the Futian family with the support of the Tang Dynasty wants to replace the royal family, it can be said that the victory is in hand.
After Fukuda Eiichiro reported to Emperor Shumei and returned, he asked various localities to set up a visit registration team, so that the people sent by the Soga clan to follow up on the registration situation could only learn about the situation at the designated registration office, but the situation of the visit registration was not so easy to understand.
Nearly two months later, Emperor Shu Ming summoned Fukuda Eiichiro to learn about the registration. Su I Ezo heard Fukuda Eiichiro's report that there were six registrations, and he was so shocked that he almost jumped, he didn't expect this Fukuda Eiichiro to dare to do it, and he said that the more the merrier, he dared to make sixty percent of Han people come out! If this is the case, then is this country Yamato or Datang?
Fukuda Eiichiro was stunned by Su I Ezo's training, of course, this was what he pretended, and he only thought that Su I Ezo said that the more the merrier. It's not good for Soga Ezo to pursue Fukuda Eiichiro too much, firstly, Fukuda Eiichiro did what he ordered, and secondly, this Fukuda family is also a powerful family in Yamato, in case the Fukuda family turns against each other, the Soga family will be even bigger. Besides, the matter has come to this point, no matter how much you blame, it is useless, it is better to save some energy to discuss how to remedy it.
After deliberation, Emperor Shu Ming ordered the registration to be stopped and the registered list to be re-checked, which reduced the number of people to 40%. And those who were excluded were punished to varying degrees for cheating, now it's good, these people steal chickens and rice, and all the resentment is counted on the head of the Su family, who tells them to register without careful scrutiny, so that the people think that there is a advantage to take advantage of, and this will cheat to get some benefits.
With the strong support of the high-level of the Wa State, the expedition team sent by the Tang Dynasty to the Wa State can be regarded as having completed the task, in addition to the conclusion that the Wa State has forty percent of the Han people, it also explains the current situation of the short Wa people: before Xu Fu crossed to the east, the aborigines of the Wa State were actually as short as the Mao people in the north now, and the height rarely exceeded one and a half meters. Later, after Xu Fu and other Qin Dynasty people arrived, they intermarried with the indigenous people, and the height of their descendants increased to the current level of about 1.5 meters.
Some of the people of the Wa Kingdom feel that this conclusion is really a bit demeaning to tie them with the Mao people, but they can't refute it, according to historical records, the people before the Wa Kingdom are indeed not tall, and now they have increased, although it can be said that the reason for eating better than before, but compared to those who have conclusive evidence to prove that they are descendants of the Han people, the descendants of these aborigines, whether they are high-ranking officials or civilians, are obviously inferior in height.
