Chapter 334: Perseverance
Perhaps Li Shimin felt that rejecting the Japanese on the Silla issue would affect diplomatic relations, so he wanted to compensate for the Japanese people's study.
So Li Shimin didn't set up any obstacles, even if Wu Yuanqing came to him and said that it might pose a threat after letting the Japanese people learn the things of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin didn't care, and he also opened the door to convenience.
Take the monks as an example, the Tang Dynasty suppresses Buddhism and promotes Taoism, so the management of monks is extremely strict.
Someone who wants to become a monk, yes, but the monastery that accepts you must have a blank space for you.
The issuance of the degree is in the management of the imperial court, and the issuance of each degree must be reviewed layer by layer, not only considering the size of the temple, the influence in the surroundings, but also assessing the understanding of the Buddhist scriptures of the person who wants to be a monk.
Say you're dying of hunger, and you want to become a monk in the temple and ask for food and clothing, hehe, don't even think about it.
In the past two years, the distribution of the rice has become more and more strict, and only more than 80 blank certificates were issued last year, which means that only more than 80 people became monks last year.
This is not only for Datang, but also for foreign monks, saying that you have become a monk in your own country, and when you come to Datang, you can become a monk and stay in a temple, which is absolutely impossible.
At this time, there is no such thing as foreign monks chanting scriptures, and even the approval of foreign monks is more stringent. Therefore, every year when they come to Chang'an, they can't get the degree, and they can't enter the temple.
However, Li Shimin gave the green light to the distribution of the monks of the Japanese state. More than 20 monks turned out to be all in one go, and none of them were stuck.
For a time, there were many more monks studying in the Japanese Kingdom with accents in several well-known temples in Chang'an.
The monks went to the temple to learn nothing more than to write Buddhist scriptures and the like, at most to learn some scriptures and history, poetry, Wu Yuanqing was not so worried.
Even those who were highly educated in the Wa Kingdom worshiped many great Confucian sects, many of them were allowed to enter the official school, and even the Chongwen Pavilion to study Wu Yuanqing could turn a blind eye.
But Li Shimin let these people join Sinong Temple and will be used as supervisors and other departments, and Wu Yuanqing can't look at it.
When the Japanese people came this time, they brought a very comprehensive number of people, some who knew history, some could calligraphy, some could music, and some could Danqing.
But in addition to these high-end and elegant talents, there are many craftsmen from all walks of life. Farming, iron, housebuilding, canals, etc.
People in Datang may not understand, but Wu Yuanqing knows that the development of society depends on the development of these basic driving forces.
These things are the foundation that makes a country strong, and it is from the first industrial revolution that the West is strong and the East is backward in later generations.
The Industrial Revolution created enormous productive forces and turned society upside down, and capitalism finally triumphed over feudalism. The Western capitalist countries, which took the lead in completing the industrial revolution www.biquge.info gradually established their domination over the world, and the world formed a situation in which the West was advanced and the East was backward.
In the days of a hundred years of humiliation, everyone was shouting that if they were backward, they would be beaten, where they were backward, culture? Obviously not, the ancient culture of the ancient country with 5,000 years of splendid culture is definitely the top.
Culture is not backward, what is backward is industry, which is the basis of all kinds. It is precisely because of the backwardness of infrastructure that it has developed rapidly for decades and is still a developing country.
Think about the ballpoint pens that can be seen everywhere in later generations, and every small pen bead has to be imported from abroad, you know the importance of the industrial base.
But due to the limitations of the times, Li Shimin could not see this.
In his opinion, he can even let the Japanese people learn culture, and those things that farm and build houses are not a big deal.
As a result, a large number of Japanese people poured into Sinong Temple to learn the advanced farming methods and agricultural tools used by the Tang Dynasty, and poured into the prison to learn the craft of striking iron, the craft of steelmaking, the craft of making weapons and various tools, and the following master craftsmen to learn drawing and drawing, building palaces and mausoleums and other civil construction.
There are also people who go to Honglu Temple to learn the diplomatic experience of the Tang Dynasty, Honglu Temple and Sinong Temple are Wu Yuanqing's departments, but unfortunately he is only the second-in-command, not the first, especially in the case of Li Shimin's speech, Wu Yuanqing was furious and wanted to drive away the Japanese people who invaded his territory, but they were all blocked by the first leader.
The angry Wu Yuanqing didn't want to go to work in these two places, out of sight and out of mind, but he didn't go to trouble the Japanese people, but the Japanese people found him.
When they learned that their request for Silla was denied, Ota Shovel was not only furious, but also felt that it might be that their own capital was not enough, which led to the opposition of so many people, especially the military officials.
But after they learned what happened in the court from the Tang officials they had befriended, Yutian Shovel almost vomited blood and died.
He never expected that the one who gave him the hardest blow would be Wu Yuanqing, who gave him the most money.
Originally, the military and the civilian government were evenly matched, and even the civilian officials had a slight upper hand, so if this continued, there was more than half a chance that the Wa Kingdom would get Silla.
But it was precisely Wu Yuanqing, the person who received the most money, who came out to stir up the situation, not only did not help the country speak, but also under the hasty attack of Wen Yanbo's pig teammates, he was involved in bribery, which led to the original clear situation and became a pool of troubled water.
It made all the courtiers who had received the money dare not say a word more for the Wa Kingdom, which led to the shattering of the dream of the Wa Kingdom.
Ota Shovel himself was heartbroken enough to hold his breath, and he was scolded by Su Iru, a hidden talker, and I don't know how many times I was slapped.
According to the theory, Yutian Shovel should hate Wu Yuanqing to death, not to mention finding someone to kill him, he should also die of old age.
However, the Japanese people have that shameless quality, and they have the kind of temperament that can give up face and forget hatred for what they want.
The Japanese wanted to learn arithmetic, and after learning that Wu Yuanqing's arithmetic was quite good, and even many noble children and princes were learning from him, Yutian Shovel decided to let go of his hatred, or to bury his hatred deep in his heart for the time being, and came to the door to ask Wu Yuanqing to teach the Japanese people arithmetic.
Yutian Shovel thought that he would leave his son behind and ask regardless of his previous suspicions, and Wu Yuanqing would definitely agree. After all, he had already shown favor first, Wu Yuanqing had collected so much money from himself, and it was okay to collect money before and not do anything, and now there is no reason to refuse such a simple thing as letting him teach arithmetic.
But Wu Yuanqing can not be speculated with common sense.
Therefore, when Ota Shovel came to the door to explain his intentions, it was not surprising that Wu Yuanqing asked his subordinates to beat him with sticks.
