The palace of the Wa Kingdom, after a bloodbath, the Ming army flag with the word "Qi" can be seen everywhere in the palace, swaying and fluttering in the north wind.

The lead-colored sky was covered with heavy dark clouds, and the long-standing torrential rain was unannounced, like the roaring thunder of the gods, reflecting the fate line of the changing day.

Zhu Gaoxian sat behind the desk, looked at the paperwork in his hand intently, and beckoned to the side.

Su Wen, who was serving, understood in seconds, and brought over the hot wine from the stove to say hello.

Zhu Gaoxian has two secretaries by his side, Su Wu when he was in the capital, and Su Wen when he was in the army, and these two brothers are responsible for serving in daily life.

The two brothers have different ways of acting, the elder brother Su Wen is unruly and arbitrary, and the younger brother Su Wu is reserved and resourceful, although their personalities are different, they have one thing in common:

——Loyal to Zhu Gaoxian.

When they were most depressed, it was Zhu Gaoxian who reached out to help save their lives, and the two brothers were given by King Qi, so that they could move from the downcast people in Jinling City to the top.

Su Wen is now the commander of the guards of the Shuai camp, and the seal is just around the corner.

Su Wu is now the political envoy of Goryeo Province, from the second rank of the senior member, the eighteen-year-old feudal official, in Goryeo Province to polish his qualifications, Zaifu qualifications.

Many people envy the two brothers of the Su family who climbed the phoenix branch of the Qi Wangfu and jumped into the sky, but in fact, they only did two things.

The first thing is to show one's abilities, and the second is to show one's loyalty.

Zhu Gaoxian took a sip of the wine handed by Su Wen, frowned slightly, put the wine glass on the table, and asked, "What kind of wine is this?" ”

Su Wen replied honestly: "The best of the sake in the Wa Kingdom, Lord Lu sent it after cleaning the Kyoto Mansion, don't you like it, Lord Wang?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian shook his head: "Even if the natives of the Japanese country are despicable, the craftsmanship of making wine is so poor. During the Li and Tang dynasties, the Japanese people learned the production method of sake from our Central Plains, but they did not learn the essence of the skin. ”

In ancient times, there was no sake in the Wa Kingdom, only "turbid sake", and they added charcoal to the turbid sake to precipitate it, and drank it from the clear liquor, so it was called "sake". During the Tang Dynasty, the Baekje people brought the Tang Dynasty's koji brewing method to the Wa Kingdom, which perfected the barren wine-making technology of the Wa Kingdom.

It is often said that sake is a gift from the gods.

In this regard, Zhu Gaoxian scoffed, stealing the teacher is stealing the teacher, and no matter how exaggerated he is, he can't hide the essence of the thief.

Su Wen didn't think about it so much, and replied honestly: "Then I'll change you to a pot of Liaodong old roast?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said "um", he is actually not picky, he just simply looks down on the culture of the Japanese country.

I thought that Goryeo culture was already the lower limit, but I didn't expect that there would be Japanese culture to continue to lower this lower limit.

Stealing from the Central Plains failed, and only learned the fur kung fu of a three-legged cat.

Zhu Gaoxian saw Su Wen's honest appearance, and couldn't help but have the idea of carving a jade in his heart, and said, "Su Wen, do you know why businessmen can't succeed?" ”

Su Wen touched his head: "I don't know, the minister only knows that the identity of the businessman is despicable, and he is short-sighted." ”

Zhu Gaoxian said leisurely: "First-class talents are in officialdom, and second-rate talents are in business." Officialdom and business are two completely different sets of knowledge. Officialdom pursues balance, even if there is a struggle, it cannot be put on the surface, and the two people who are still eating together in the morning may become the interrogation of the legal person and the sinner in the court in the afternoon, with calm on the surface and undercurrent surging underneath. ”

Su Wen asked, "What about Shangdao?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian continued: "The shopping mall pursues a win-win situation, and all the competition is displayed in front of the public. The two chambers of commerce, which fought fiercely in the morning, may become partners in the afternoon. Power and interest are two completely different things. If you have rights, you will have interests, but if you have interests, you may not be able to have power. ”

Su Wen was as confused as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and said helplessly: "Lord Wang, I don't understand what you said. ”

Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but chuckle: "It seems that you are not suitable for official morality." ”

On the battlefield, Su Wen fought bravely to kill the enemy, even if he was covered with countless scars, he could proudly look at the Quartet, his brain was very axial, and he could even be said to be a little stupid, and he couldn't understand the world at all.

Such a person can also shine in the right position.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, it's good if your brother Su Wu can understand it."

Zhu Gaoxian casually drew a big cake, "One article and one martial arts, complement each other, in a high position in the court, there will be an extra evergreen tree called 'Su family' in the capital." ”

Su Wen's eyelids were jumping, and the biggest knot in his life was that the Su family was gone.

The Su family is not a wealthy family, just an inconspicuous small family in Fujian, but the Su family used to be everything to Su Wen.

After losing everything, Su Wen cares most about rebuilding the Su family.

Now, the opportunity has been delivered to him.

He is expected to rebuild a Su family that is countless times more glorious than before!

This Su family is different from the Fujian Su clan in the past, the first page of the genealogy of this Su family starts with Su Wen's name, and the kind that opens a single page!

Su Wen rubbed his hands excitedly just thinking about it!

……

When Zhu Gaoxian was lame to Su Wen, Lu Chaoyang, who was outside with Jinyi Wei to stabilize the situation in the Japanese Kingdom, turned around and returned to the Shuai camp.

Lu Chaoyang leaned over and saluted: "Lord Wang." ”

"Lao Lu, didn't you take someone to search for the remnants of the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, why did you come back again?" Zhu Gaoxian was a little puzzled.

Lu Chaoyang said solemnly: "Lord, the minister led people to discover an important matter after an in-depth investigation in the Wa Kingdom, the stakes are very high, the minister does not dare to act rashly, please make a decision." ”

Zhu Gaoxian was interested: "Is there anything else you Lu Chaoyang dare not do, let's hear it." ”

"Lord Yu, after some investigation, the minister found that although we have wiped out the army of the Wa Kingdom, there is still a powerful army hidden in the territory of the Wa Kingdom-the monks. The monk system in the Wa Kingdom was too nonsense, and monks could not only marry, but also have children. Not only that, the monks of the Wa Kingdom were not only nostalgic for the world, but also joined in the struggle of the high-level of the Wa Kingdom, playing the role of the lords of one side. ”

Lu Chaoyang said with a strange expression, "For example, Yanqing Temple, which is the main temple of the Tiantai Sect of the Wa Kingdom, has always been the important place of Buddhism in the Wa Kingdom. The monks of Enryakuji Temple were an independent vassal state, they had territories, they were self-sufficient in wealth, and many members of the imperial family and shogunate joined them, so that the monks of Enryakuji lived a luxurious and corrupt life, and had a high status and army. Moreover, the military discipline of these monks and soldiers is very poor, and incidents of robbing people's daughters often occur, and even many mages keep their favorite concubines in captivity, taking the opportunity to insult their wives and victims. However, the people in these lands dared not speak out, which made them even more arrogant, so that in the end, Enryakuji Temple became a refuge for many robbers and outlaws, and even the Tiantai sect even made a big statement that "as long as you join the monk army, you can enjoy the protection of the Tiantai sect". ”

Su Wen was dumbfounded when he heard this: "This, this is a Buddhist temple?" This is clearly a bandit's nest! ”

"Be careful with your words, Suwen." Zhu Gaoxian said in a deep voice, "This is not just a bandit den, but also a legal bandit den!" ”

This kind of thing is also something that the Wa Kingdom can do.

Buddhism was originally the doctrine of Jianzhen's eastward crossing during the Li and Tang dynasties, coupled with the teachings of sending Tang envoys to the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa States gradually adopted Buddhism as their state religion, but Buddhism was "localized" by the Wa people not long after it was introduced.

In the Central Plains, religion was a tool used by the emperor to consolidate his power, he could allow religion to exist, and even give religion some privileges, such as Buddhism can be exempt from taxes, but he will never allow these tools to eat the master.

I can allow you to preach here, but if you have any bad intentions...... I'm sorry, I'm going to kill you.

However, these cultures were transmitted to the Wa Kingdom, and after being localized by the Wa people, they began to develop in the direction of nonsense.

After hundreds of years of brewing, Wa Buddhism has successfully changed from the original Green Lantern Ancient Buddha to the current bandit nest.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black; The sound is clear, and the shape is straight.

What kind of people, what kind of culture.

Although it is said that "the lotus comes out of the mud and is not stained", you can't expect a snow-white lotus flower to pop out of the dung pit, right?

Zhu Gaoxian muttered: "I asked you to investigate the silver mine in Iwami in the Wa Kingdom before, how is the investigation?" ”

"Huh?"

Lu Chaoyang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Ishimi Silver Mountain has an amazing amount of silver production and reserves, and Chen has never seen a silver mine with such a terrifying output. Iwami Guardian was originally a Ukuni Ouchi clan, but his dominance was not strong, and there were many people in the country, and the Niko clan continued to attack from Izumo, and he included eastern Iwami in his rule very early, and the Mori clan of Aki has always been eyeing this place. However, these Iwami local forces have been swept away in Kyushu, and now our army has been occupied by the Iwami garrison and is under the rule, preparing to mine and excavate. ”

When Lu Chaoyang learned about Iwami Yinshan, the first thought in his mind was: get rich!

After digging these silver mines of the Japanese country, he can return to China with a whole boatload of silver, and the old man of the household department Shangshu Xia Yuan Jixia can be happy to die after seeing it!

"Well, that's true, although the land area of the Wa Kingdom is not large, the silver mines are more abundant than you think, in fact, there is far more than Iwami Silver Mountain, this is simply a country built on silver ingots." Zhu Gaoxian bowed slightly, "Our main direction of attack in the Wa Kingdom is still mining silver ore, nothing else matters, you can't expect it to pay much land in such a small place as the Wa Kingdom, but the silver mine alone can make us sustain." ”

At the end of the 16th century, the production of silver in the Wa Kingdom once accounted for a quarter, or even a third, of the world's production! At the same time, the Portuguese simply called the Wa Kingdom "the land of silver", which shows how amazing the amount of silver produced in the Wa Kingdom was.

"The minister understands, so he will write to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to send some talents who are good at excavating silver mines to come to the kingdom." Lu Chaoyang nodded and asked again, "But...... Lord Wang, does this silver mine have anything to do with the poisoning of the monks of the Wa Kingdom that we just talked about? ”

"Of course it does."

Zhu Gaoxian said as a matter of course, "Remember, they will not be monks in the future." ”

"They are the hard-working miners in my Ming Dynasty's mining of the Japanese silver mine!"

"Isn't he a hard-working miner who takes care of two meals a day, works six hours a day, all year round, and doesn't ask for any wages?"
