In the reception room under the Ministry of Rites of the Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Bufan met with Ono Xiong, the leader of the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This Ono Xiong is about twenty years old, and he actually became the leader of the envoys sent to Datang, which is really not easy. However, Shi Bufan will not despise this guy, and the guy who can be sent is not a simple commodity.

"Ono Xiong, who are you Ono girl?" Shi Bufan asked.

Ono was surprised for a while, he actually heard a language in the Wakoku country. Although the language is not standard in many places, it is completely understandable, which shocked Ono.

"Shi Langzhong, you, you, you...... Do you know the language of our country? Ono asked.

"No, I just know a rough idea, and I'm not very proficient in learning." Shi Bufan said.

It is only the Japanese of later generations, not the ancient Middle Ages. It is the period of Middle Japanese, and there are many differences between this Middle Japanese and later generations, but it is good to have a preliminary understanding. If you understand it, the big meaning will not change, so that's fine.

"Oh, Shi Langzhong, I really didn't expect to be able to hear the language of my hometown in a distant place, it's so kind." Ono said excitedly.

Shi Bufan hurriedly emphasized: "Tell me, what is the relationship between Sister Ono and you?" ”

"That's my father!" Ono replied.

This Ono girl looks like she has the word "girl", but she is not a woman, and many Japanese people can be named "son" in this era. The "ko" in the Japanese name should be viewed separately from the previous name, and it is not possible to directly and subconsciously use Chinese customs to measure the name of a foreigner.

"Well, when Sister Ono went to Dasui, it seems that this time you are the son inheriting his father's business?" Shi Bufan asked.

"Well, my father has always told me that the Central Plains is prosperous, so I have always wanted to come to the Central Plains to see! Ono replied.

Shi Bufan then asked: "Does the person who ordered you to come to the envoy, that is, your lord-in-law, have a surname?" ”

"Huh? Shi Langzhong, what do you mean by that? Ono asked.

Shi Bufan asked directly: "What I mean is clear enough, I mean to ask you, are you from the queen of your kingdom, or from the Su family?" ”

"What? You, you, you, you......" Ono was shocked.

Ono Xiong didn't expect that Shi Bufan actually knew that their Wa Kingdom was currently the empress, which was simply strange. The current leader of the Wa Kingdom is actually known as Emperor Suiko, but Emperor Suiko is the female emperor of Japan. The relationship between the imperial family in Japan is really chaotic, Emperor Suigu married his brother, and later became the emperor himself.

Of course, the name of this emperor was given posthumously later, and there is no such title as emperor in Japan at present. However, Shi Bufan probably knew the history of Japan at this time, Japan began to communicate with the Sui Dynasty decades ago, and even earlier in the Liu and Song dynasties.

However, this was all the initiative of the Japanese state to communicate with China and Turkey, on the contrary, China rarely took the initiative to communicate with Japan. At that time, the Wa State wrote on the letter to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty that "the Son of Heaven respects the Emperor at sunset", which Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was very unhappy about. However, Emperor Yang of Sui did not get angry because of this, and still received it. Only many descendants think that Emperor Yang of Sui was furious and almost attacked Japan, which is completely YY. Although Emperor Yang of Sui was unhappy, he did not get angry because of this.

Since then, there have been many envoys to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and many have even begun to study in China. Some people study abroad for decades at a time, just to learn about Chinese culture, and this tenacity and ambition are absolutely very good.

But there are not many people who really know the current situation in Japan, and Shi Bufan actually asked Ono Xiong directly who he was, which simply shocked Ono Xiong.

At the beginning, Bufan asked if the lord behind him had a surname, so Ono didn't quite understand. But later, Shi Bufan's meaning understood, that is, to ask him who he was. It's the king's people, or the people of the Su family. The Japanese imperial family does not have a surname, so if the lord behind him does not have a surname, it means that he is loyal to the king. But if it's Su I's family, then it's a subordinate of the minister. The powerful minister of Japan at this time of the Soga family is a powerful minister who controls the power of Japan, and is fully capable of deposing the emperor.

It was not until more than ten years later, in 645 A.D., that Japan launched a coup d'état in Taika, killing Soga and entering the deer, and then Japan began to progress from a slave society to a feudal society.

Japan's progress in the past few decades has been almost rapid, and Japan's reforms in this decades have laid the foundation for centralized power, and although the Soga family has taken great power, it has successfully established the authority of the central government and provided a power base for future reforms.

"You came to my Datang to study, do you want to learn our things, and then do the same in the Wa Kingdom?" Shi Bufan asked.

"I, Shi Langzhong, I, I, I......" Ono Xiong was speechless in a hurry, and was startled by Shi Bufan's words.

Don't the people of the Japanese Kingdom just hope that they can learn something in Datang, and then go back to learn and change? This has not changed in Japan for more than 1,000 years, and it is the same principle to learn from whoever is strong, to learn from China when China is strong, and to learn from Europe when Europe is strong. Now that their thoughts have been debunked, Ono is a little anxious.

"Ono Yu, let me ask you, whose kind of person are you. Is it the Queen's people, or is it the Sue family's people? Shi Bufan asked again.

Ono Xiong looked at Shi Bufan, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Langzhong, I, Ono Xiong, am loyal to the royal family and am the queen's courtier. and later the courtiers of the whole royal family. Su my family deceived my lord too much, in the words of the Central Plains, that is, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and the power of the monarch is weak. If possible, I also ask Datang to send troops to clean up the ministers for our lord. ”

Ono Xiong directly began to ask Shi Bufan to suggest that Datang send troops, but this matter was not something that Shi Bufan could agree. This matter is too important, how could an ordinary five-grade petty official have the right to agree. Even Shi Bufan didn't even solve it in Goguryeo, how could he have the heart to solve the Japanese affairs?

"Help your lord clean up the ministers, what good is it for us in the Tang Dynasty?" Shi Bufan asked.

Ono Xiong hurriedly said: "We are willing to pay tribute every year, and we are willing to protect the east for the Tang Dynasty forever." ”

"Gone?" Shi Bufan asked.

"Well, what else does Datang want?" Ono asked.

"Huh, that's all? You just want to fool us Datang into sending troops, you don't have water in your brain, right? Shi Bufan complained in his heart.

The so-called tribute every year wants the Tang Dynasty to help them clean up the ministers and restore their status, which is impossible. Because at present, the Tang Dynasty has not even solved Goguryeo itself, how can it be possible to clean up Japan. Regarding cleaning up this Japan, Shi Bufan also has a plan, but I'm afraid this will have to be ranked after solving that Goguryeo.

According to the plan in Shi Bufan's "Extraordinary Concerto", it is expected that the problem of Nanyang will be solved around the thirteenth or fourteenth year of Zhenguan. When the time comes, we can take advantage of the situation to solve this Japan and wipe out Japan. Anyway, Japan is still a slave society, and such a society is very closed. Especially since Japan is an island country, it is not easy for them to come out.

At least they won't be able to go on the expedition until they complete the Dahua renovation. Originally, it was the Tang Dynasty that launched a war against Baekje in history, and Japan actually came to join in the fun, and was ruthlessly cleaned up by Liu Renliang. At that time, Japan should have completed the Taika reform, and it could be regarded as progressing from a slave society to a feudal society. However, in this time and space, they are still learning, and the Dahua reform has not yet begun. And the Su family still controls the power of Japan. At present, Japan urgently needs to carry out reforms, and they urgently need to carry out corresponding changes, and they need to learn from the experience of the Central Plains civilization to complete their social transformation.

"Is it possible for me to intervene in Japan's reforms?" Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan then asked: "You want my Datang to help you clean up the ministers, I'm afraid I can't do this." You should know that it is not easy for you envoys to cross eastward, let alone send a large army to the east. It's not easy for a few envoys to come over, and it's not easy for the army to go out on a variety of issues, and we can't help it! ”

That Ono was inevitably a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything either. Because what Shi Bufan said was right, it was not an easy task for the army to cross the sea and go east. Crossing the sea in ancient times was not a simple matter, and it was also a great adventure. Jianzhen's eastward crossing has failed several times, and it is not impossible for those who are adrift at sea and die at sea. These Japanese envoys also had people who died at sea. Although I dare not say that the risk is particularly huge, the risk of one person is by no means the same as the risk of an army. The risk of the army going out is multiplied by multiples, and it is normal for Datang to not be able to do it.

"Shi Langzhong, we people from the Wa Kingdom, hope to be able to arrange some people studying abroad in Datang and other academies. We hope to let some people stay in Datang to study and learn the civilization of the country, what do you think? Ono said.

This request, in fact, is also within the authority of Shi Bufan, and it is nothing to agree to some international students. In fact, this kind of study abroad thing, on the contrary, Datang will be very supportive. Ancient Chinese scholars and officials were well versed in the way of cultural export, and when it came to promoting Chinese culture, those ancient officials and scholars would not refuse, but would rather stick it upside down!

Of course, this is not the kind of narrow so-called extravagance. These ancient officials were also not fools, they were well aware of the benefits of cultural export, through which they could form a circle of traditional Chinese civilization in China. It can be said that this cultural circle seems to be nothing on the surface, but it has established China's absolute leadership in the East for more than a thousand years, and even in the 21st century, it has been quite relegated.

This is not a waste of money, but the long-term benefits are extremely huge, so it is beneficial for those international students to stay and study, and it is better to support it than to post it upside down.

As for saying that some online novels are very unaccustomed to this kind of behavior, thinking that it is a waste of money, so they try to scrape from those international students? This is simply ridiculous, how many countries want to export culture are carrying pigs' heads and can't find the temple gate, and no one comes. Aren't you trying to keep people out of the house by still trying to collect money? The benefits of cultural export, which are unquestionable, cannot be measured by mere economic benefits.

Just look at how many yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people have developed in China in American dramas, you can know the benefits of cultural export, first-class countries export culture, second-class countries export science and technology, and third-class countries export products. Searching from those international students, isn't that taking the initiative to "downgrade" themselves from a first-class country to a third-class country, and the ancient officials shouldn't be so stupid?

When the surrounding countries have adopted your culture, it is not far from becoming your person and becoming your hardcore lackey. Once they all live their lives according to your lifestyle, then they will be full of your lackeys inside, isn't that much better than those so-called economic incomes? Wouldn't it be nice to let these international students become the backbone of society when they return to China in the future, so wouldn't it be great for them to be your spokesperson? When the time comes, the things that will be obtained are far more than those so-called tuition fees and economic income, and the ancient officials would not be so stupid if they gave up such a long-term plan for the sake of that little tuition fee for international students or something!

How many countries are taking the initiative to post in order to attract excellent international students, whether these people stay in the country or eventually return to China, it will not be a disadvantage, because they are all close to your side, at that time you have a foreign country willing to get close to your social backbone. Even if one of them reaches the top of the society, then your investment will be earned back hundreds of times. *-

"I can make the decision to promise you, how much you send, how much we Datang will accept, what do you think?" Shi Bufan said.

Ono Xiong originally thought it would be very difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to complete, and it was so smooth that he felt incredible. Although he was not able to persuade Datang to send troops to help them fight the ministers this time, it was also a gain, and he would not return empty-handed. As for these students, they will become important figures in the Japanese kingdom and the backbone of society. As long as they can return to the country after completing their studies, the backbone of society that has enriched the Japanese state will overthrow the dictatorship of the Su family at that time.

As for expecting the Tang Dynasty to send troops, this is obviously unrealistic, but sending students to study abroad, and then learning Chinese culture and then carrying out reforms, centralizing the power of the king, can do as much as possible to clean up those slave owners and all kinds of relatives and ministers, and then reform the Wa State.
