Section 811 Japanese laborers

After arranging the defense plans of each city, Wang Ba, who had returned to Wajima, immediately got on the boat and went to the inland sea of Wajima by the three rivers.

Among the heroes of the family who traveled with Wang Ba this time, in addition to Cui Jie of the Cui family, and Wang Xuance of the Wang family.

This Wang Xuance is not an ordinary person, originally he had already obtained an official position as a county order, but he gave up and recognized this opportunity to a younger brother of the same sect, and then he went to Nanyang, and this time he came back to help Wang Ba to attack Wadao.

Say that he is not ordinary, because this man has performed a miracle in history.

It is claimed that one person destroys a country.

When he sent Tianzhu on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu was at the time of the chaos of the Warring States, and he relied on the borrowed 7,000 cavalry to destroy a small country. If he followed the practice of Europe in later generations, then he could turn that small country into a colony, and he would receive a greater reward, but unfortunately under the different values of Eastern and Western civilizations in history, he just finished fighting, returned the borrowed soldiers, and returned to the Tang Dynasty with a wave of his hand.

In Datang, he is still an ordinary official, disappearing in the long river of history.

At this time, Japan's political system was somewhat similar to the Han Dynasty in China, which was still a country composed of imperial power and royal power, plus the power of local gate lords.

The Yamato Kingdom has a population of about three million people, and the rest of the small tribes have about one million people.

Can't the 4 million people on Wajima get 300,000 laborers?

Wang Ba had only one thought in his heart, His Royal Highness the King of Qin's order was to kill all the Japanese people and get enough of the 300,000 laborers.

Following his two juniors, Cui Jie's thoughts are a little complicated. He wanted to take this opportunity to show his talents, and the word colonization was the first to appear in the table that Princess Mingyue gave to the Tang Emperor.

In the era of great colonization, only great wisdom could create great causes.

Wang Xuance didn't have any extra thoughts, he was thinking about how to tempt those widows.

After a day and a night, the ship sailed to the Ota River, which became Hiroshima.

Bright identity, as soon as he heard that it was an official businessman from the Tang Dynasty, the Daejeon clan sent 500 elite soldiers and 200 singers to greet him outside Daejeon City. Prepare for the banquet. The lord of the castle, the head of the Ota family, personally greeted him.

Wang Ba brought only a hundred guards, plus twenty scribes.

"The nobles of the kingdom are honored to visit!" Kazuo Ota greeted him.

Wang Xuance spoke in Japanese language on behalf of the three of them: "We are from the Tang Dynasty, the general of my Wang clan. Subject to the positive three pins. It has a fiefdom of 600 miles. There are 20,000 elite men. I am the descendant of the Wang family, and the Tang Dynasty is the seventh seal. This one is the eldest son of the Qinghe Cui family, although he has no official position. But as the son-in-law of the Qinghe Cui family, he has profound knowledge, as long as he is out of the six pins, this time he came to make friends with the Daejeon family! ”

There is no modest tone, only a display of one's own identity.

This is not the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese people don't know what modesty is, they believe in strength more.

Hearing that these three people were so big, Datian Kazuo hurriedly gave a salute according to the Han ceremony, and said: "I only think that I am a distinguished guest of the Tang Dynasty, but not the three of them are distinguished guests among the distinguished guests!" ”

The Wang family and the Cui family are the first-class clans of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, there is also a general of Zhengsanpin with a fiefdom of 800 miles, I am afraid that this time it will at least be the Earl of the Tang Dynasty.

Enter the main hall and sit down with the guests and hosts.

"Come, Ben's gift!" Wang Ba's Chinese voice, cold and majestic.

With Wang Ba's current status, even if he sees Prince Shotoku, the current ruler of the Wa Kingdom, he will not give a big gift, at most he will sit on an equal footing.

Eight hundred Yun brocade horses, eight hundred Tang horizontal knives, eight hundred stainless steel spear tips, eight hundred taels of high-grade tea, and eight hundred edelweiss.

How much is this gift worth?

Datian Kazuo was stunned when he looked at it, he didn't have 10,000 catties of gold in total, he didn't dare to think about it, this is all the top goods in Datang, and the eight hundred horses of Yunjin alone will cost at least 8,000 taels of gold on Wadao. But looking at this cloud brocade again, it is more gorgeous than what is available on the market on Wajima.

Cui Jie untied his backpack at this time, took out a long box, put it in front of him and slowly pushed it forward.

"I've heard of it, King Qin's Hundred Blades!" Wang Ba asked loudly.

After Wang Xuance's translation, Datian Kazunan nodded vigorously: "It is rumored that the King of Qin's personal guard is one of the hundred blades, and in the battle of Goguryeo Wangcheng, one person beheaded 5,000 heads." Knife break! His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty once again rewarded the famous blade of the divine soldier, but unfortunately such a famous knife is only a legend. ”

"That kid's name is broken! A certain hand was given the glaive by His Highness! ”

The box was opened, and it was a knife, without any ornamentation, a very ordinary bamboo scabbard, with silk threads wrapped around the hilt.

Wang Xuance said at this time: "This handful is called Fallen Leaves. It is a defective knife with a hundred blades, so please put down a steel column in the hall to test the blade! "Let's go find the steel pillars, the Japanese don't even have steel, so dozens of logs are placed, which are a foot in diameter.

Wang Ba just sat there, didn't even stand up, just drew his knife, swung it, and put it away.

There is no knife in sight, only the shadow of the knife.

The logs were all cut in half!

"Be careful!" Wang Xuance pushed the knife box over.

"Thank you, such a generous gift, my Daejeon family is very grateful!" Kazuo Ota sat on his knees and bent heavily.

Do you give these gifts for nothing? Ota Kazuo didn't believe it, but he couldn't guess what these Tang people wanted, but the gift represented sincerity, and he had to listen to it at least.

Wang Ba nodded at Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance said: "Lord Datian City, do you know what has happened to the Konoe family and the Ichijo family in the past few years? ”

Kazuo Ota was slightly stunned when he heard these two families, but he still answered truthfully: "The Ichijo family was originally a servant of the Izumo family, but overnight they became the lord of Izumo Castle. And the Konoe family, but there is no origin at all, as if it appeared out of thin air, I don't know why the distinguished guests of Lu Dao know these two families. ”

"A patriarch and a man and a Hui came to Datang with the merchant ship."

As soon as Wang Xuance spoke, Kazuo Ota signaled that the irrelevant people in the hall could retreat, and those who were left behind were those he trusted very much.

"Yi Yi Hui met a small official of the Qin Wangfu in Chang'an City and got the opportunity to go to school in Chang'an. Hou Yihui actually found some information in the historical museum, he proved that he was a descendant of the Win bloodline of the Great Qin Empire hundreds of years ago, and then received some rewards and support from His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and after returning to Wadao, this made the family rise! ”

After hearing this, Kazuo Ota nodded very seriously.

In the place of His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to come back and prosper a family even if it is a little reward and a little support.

Even if it is a battle for the hegemony of Wajima, Kazuo Ota does not doubt it.

"Konoe Tadahito has no name or surname, just a rough man with some strength. I met His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Wu Bin! ”

"Wu Bin!" Kazuo Ota exclaimed.

He may not have heard of other names, but Wu Bin is a big celebrity, and it is rumored that he is a murderer who beheads 5,000 heads.

Wang Xuance smiled and continued: "Konoe Zhongren learned the knife from Wu Bin and achieved something. During the Battle of Pyongyang, he fought as Wu Bin's sword servant, beheaded seventeen heads, and obtained the identity of a Tang school captain. ”

Needless to say, the rise of the Konoe family is not surprising at all.

Kazuo Ota was silent because he didn't know how to answer next.

"In Hebei Province, Hedong Province. Our Wang family and the Cui family have taken over the business of building roads for 3,000 miles, and we hope to get the support of the Daejeon family, so that we can trade any kind of commodity that your Daejeon family needs. Including the siege artillery of the Tang Dynasty. ”

For what? Kazuo Ota was a little puzzled, what is there to fight about this road construction.

"This road is a thousand miles in a day. From Chang'an to Luoyang City, it only takes less than four hours, and each car can carry 1.5 million catties. Whether it is pulling goods or pulling people, how important it is. On the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang, Wu Bin and Wei Chi's family were close friends, and with the support of 200,000 strong laborers of the Konoe family, the road from Chang'an to Luoyang was completed in one year. ”

Kazuo Ota is not tempted to be fake.

To talk about the Ichijo family and the Konoe family, in the eyes of Kazuo Ota and many Wajima castle lords, this is a rebel. But in their eyes, there is more than hatred, but envy. The excuse that the Ichijo family dared to argue with the royal family of the Yamato Kingdom was that they were the descendants of the Win clan of the Great Qin Empire, and the royal family of the Yamato Kingdom was nothing more than the descendants of Xu Fu of the Great Qin Empire.

The Ying family from the Central Plains is more noble than the Xu family no matter how it is compared.

Rebels, if this development continues, the Ichijo clan can be crowned king on Wajima.

"However, the territory controlled by my Datian family now has a total population of more than 300,000 people, even if they all go to Datang, it will not be enough, because many of them are old and weak!"

Hearing this, Wang Ba knew that their goal had been achieved.

"You can look for it from somewhere else. One person works for a month, and we give one stone of fine food. Or settle directly with rice, and everyone who works for a month will be given one stone of rice. Moreover, the food, housing, clothing, and use in Datang are all paid for by us, and they are absolutely all dry rice. ”

One stone of rice!

What about the price of five taels of gold in Wajima? How could Datian Kazuo not be tempted, and he could earn the difference, and it would be good to give those low-level tenant farmers 500 catties of miscellaneous grain per month, and the excess was naturally divided between him and the rest of the city lords, 300,000 people, that is, 300,000 stone rice per month.

This huge number even exceeded the income of his territory several times.

How can a small town on Wajima Island have a rice income of more than 3.6 million stone a year, it is absolutely impossible.

"I, the Daejeon family, am very willing to cooperate with your guests, have a banquet tonight, and we will discuss the details tomorrow!"

The Daejeon family was very happy, and in order to show their sincerity, Daejeon had his own territory that day and selected 5,000 people, including 4,000 men and 1,000 women. These are only considered as a return gift, not as a monthly food.

Wang Ba naturally has the advantage of his subordinates to arrange people to board the ship first.

That night, a grand banquet was held in Daejeon City, and only distinguished guests from Datang were entertained. (To be continued......)
