Chapter Eighty-Six: The Longing of the Wa Kingdom

In the northern winter, the sky darkens very early, almost 10 p.m., and there is no bright color in the sky, only the bright stars and the moon hanging on the horizon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although the scenery in the sky is beautiful, Fuji Tsugi has no intention of enjoying the beauty of the Central Plains sky.

Fuji was terrified.

No one expected that at noon today, the emperor of the New Song Kingdom would suddenly appear there, and no one expected that the emperor of the New Song Kingdom would be so young, as young as the current Japanese emperor.

The current emperor of Japan is Prince Shouhei, the younger brother of Emperor Reicusum, who came to the throne at the age of 11 and has reigned for seven years, from seven years ago to the present.

As a member of the Fujiwara family, Fujijiki belonged to a group of people who had a lot of contact with the emperor, and he deeply experienced the horror of the moodiness of the young emperor.

Emperor Yuanrong is not as unreliable as the previous mentally ill Emperor Ryosen, he is a very scheming young man, although the Fujiwara North family is now in power in Japan, but Emperor Yuanrong can still firmly control the Fujiwara family.

When merchants from Cangzhou came to Japan selling large quantities of silk, tea, and porcelain, at first only a few coastal cities circulated those goods, but soon those goods sold from the Song Kingdom were monopolized by the aristocracy.

Because of the chaos in the Central Plains after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Japan severed its ties with the Central Plains a few decades ago, and later gradually stopped intersecting with the Central Plains.

The promulgation of the 'sea crossing order' and the 'sea restriction order' made many Japanese put an end to the idea of going to sea for trade, and the goods of the Central Plains gradually disappeared from the Japanese market.

But everything has changed since two months ago.

Two months ago, on the dock in Osaka, a group of merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly came, and the merchants on these merchant ships of the Song Kingdom claimed to be from the New Song Dynasty, and the current Son of Heaven was the lord of the New Song Dynasty in Cangzhou.

These new Song people said that now the new Song Dynasty lord of Cangzhou is a generation of Ming monarchs, under his governance, the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has enough surplus food at home, the old have support, the young have something to rely on, the whole Cangzhou is expanding the city and building houses, everything is like Datong society.

Their business in Cangzhou is very large, and they have already had business dealings with the giant families in the south, and this time they came to Japan despite all the hardships to see if they can open a maritime trade route with Japan, and everyone can make money together.

The local Japanese nobles in Osaka were very happy when they heard the news, the goods of the Central Plains have always been exquisite and elegant, and Japan has not had business contacts with the Central Plains for a long time.

Obviously, the goods brought by Cangzhou merchants from the Central Plains did not disappoint the Osaka nobles either.

Glamorous glazed ware, delicate and elegant three-color porcelain, and a wide variety of tea silks were quickly sold out in Osaka and scrambled among the Japanese aristocracy.

This matter soon reached the ears of Emperor Enrong, the ruler of the Japanese dynasty.

Although Emperor Harmony was only eighteen years old, he had a maturity and decisiveness that did not match his age.

After learning that the New Song Kingdom was strong and that the merchants were rich in goods, Emperor Yuanrong ordered the summoning of these merchants from Cangzhou.

The expansion of the new city, the extermination of the Liao people, and the development of commerce and trade, Cangzhou in the mouth of the merchants was simply the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and several generals in the Japanese Cabinet Office were itching to listen to it.

After learning more about Cangzhou, Emperor Yuanrong also showed great interest in the new Song Dynasty, and after a three-day meeting in the cabinet, he announced the formation of a group of Song envoys to visit Cangzhou in the New Song Dynasty to see what the new Song regime was.

It was at that time that Fuji was selected as an envoy to the Song Dynasty.

As the largest and most powerful family in Japan, Fuji Fuji has always been proud of the Fujiwara family, and this time he was able to successfully enter the Song Dynasty envoys, thanks to the help of acquaintances in the family.

In Japan, as long as you have been to the Central Plains to study, as long as you don't make mistakes and return to China smoothly, you will definitely be promoted and make a fortune when you come back, and studying in the Central Plains is also a very face-saving thing, and the family will be proud of it.

Fuji Tsugi also has great confidence in this visit to Song.

From setting sail to crossing the sea, from docking to introduction, Fuji Dudu tried his best to show his excellent ability, which also allowed him to sit firmly in the second-in-command of the mission.

But everything was ruined at noon today.

Fuji Tsugi couldn't have imagined that he had left a bad impression in front of the emperor of the New Song Kingdom, and the words he had prepared before were all useless.

After coming to Cangzhou, the Japanese envoys have seen the strength and prosperity of this new Song Empire, countless people trading in the market, countless commodities circulating in the market, the terrible low price of grain, and the prevalence of luxury goods, which is really like the Celestial Empire, and the prosperity of Tokyo is one in ten compared with here.

After seeing such a prosperous and great city, the Japanese envoys were even more determined and wanted to reconcile with the new Song Kingdom, and at the same time, they were also very eager to trade with this New Song Kingdom, and they strongly hoped that Japan would become as prosperous as Cangzhou.

However, before the most important dinner, due to personal reasons, he left a bad impression on His Majesty the Emperor of the New Song Dynasty, which was like a bolt from the blue for Japan, which longed for the commodity culture of the Central Plains.

Fuji was afraid that the emperor of the New Song Kingdom would be reluctant to open trade with Japan because of his own reasons, and if that was the case, he would probably be to blame for his death.

However, the Japanese envoy who led the team this time was Ota Yuno, and he did not punish himself too much, but asked himself to pay more attention to the rules of the Song people, and he could not be offended.

Fujiwara also swore that if he violated the rules of the Song people again, he would definitely apologize with death.....

.......

"Fujiwara-kun, it's time to go." The bearded Ota Yuno opened the door, "We must pay attention to your words at today's dinner, this is an opportunity for our Great Japanese Empire, and we must win this opportunity for His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Lord Datian, I understand." Fuji Yuanmu bent his waist to ninety degrees and said reverently: "Even if it is to pay for my life, as long as I can please the emperor of the New Song Kingdom, I am willing." ”

"Hmm" The bearded Ota Yuno nodded with satisfaction: "For His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Japanese Empire, arrange your clothes, let's go to the banquet!" ”

"Hey!" .....

From the guest room outside the Honglu Temple, more than a dozen Japanese envoys wearing kimonos and acting in unity walked towards the Taihe Hall, the largest in the center of the imperial city, under the leadership of the Honglu Temple Temple.

At this moment, the envoys of many countries, as well as the civil and military officials of the New Song Kingdom, were like water dropping into the pool, and they merged into the Taihe Palace, the largest in the imperial city of the New Song Kingdom...... (To be continued.) )
