Chapter 347: The Plan of the Wa Kingdom
When Su I Lin Bai was carried back, as the head of the mission, Mita Mita, who had been serving as an envoy in Datang, hurriedly inquired about the situation.
"What's the matter, who was Su Ijun hurt by?"
"Ambassador Hui, he was beaten by King Ji of the Tang Dynasty." Then the two attendants reported the truth about the past and the future.
"Su Ijun, you are confused, this is Chang'an, the Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, not our Wa Kingdom. I told you to keep a low profile in Chang'an,
Our purpose is to learn the culture and advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty, so that we can make our country stronger when we go back. ”
Inugami Mita hated iron and said that if Su I Lin Bai was not the nephew of Su Irulu, the powerful minister of the Japanese State, Inugami Mita would have been punished a long time ago.
"Inu-kun, is it possible that Su Ijun's beating was in vain? In this way, we will not be able to explain to the minister when we go back. Su I said the guard brought by Lin Bai.
"Confess? Do you know who King Ji is? He is the prince, the richest prince in the Tang Dynasty, and is known as the God of Wealth by the people.
The family and clan of the Tang Dynasty have all suffered losses at his hands, and the big family of our Wa Kingdom is nothing in the Tang Dynasty. ”
Inougami Mita has been in Datang for more than ten years, and he feels more and more that the Wa Kingdom is too small, so small that the big family and big power they are proud of are insignificant compared to Datang.
A second- and third-tier family in Datang is stronger than their so-called big family, which includes culture, wealth, and influence.
"Su Ijun, I will record this matter, and I will report it to the minister when I return to China." After saying that, Inugami Mita took two entourages and went to Higashi City.
At this moment, Li Shen has returned home, and today's events have made Li Shen have some thoughts, and Li Shen has been ignoring the Wa Kingdom.
It's also because there is nothing worth his attention in the Wa Kingdom now, but today's events make him feel that he must do something.
"Someone came to recruit Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu." Li Shen felt that it should be discussed.
In fact, the country is not very far from Datang, if the wind and waves are calm, you can even reach the territory of Datang in five days.
Even if you take the northern route farther, you can reach Chang'an in one more month.
Soon Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance arrived, came to Li Shen's study, and sat down after the ceremony.
"I have called you here today for the sake of the Japanese country, a country that I have neglected." Li Shen got straight to the point.
"I don't know what the prince said about the Wa Kingdom." Wang Hongfu said that he is in business, regardless of politics.
"Lao Wang, select a group of capable guys and go to the Wa Kingdom to buy a piece of land for this king, and there will be a wharf by the sea.
This king wants to build a base there, it will be called Datang City, and we should have a lot of ships now.
Those who went to sea last time can be sent out. Build a big shop there, and in the future, we will go there to do business. The price is more than ten times more expensive than Datang. ”
Li Shen's first thought was that there was an enclave there, not a leased one.
Wang Hongfu took a small notebook and wrote down what Li Shen said one by one.
"Also, our goods can be collected for their coins, it doesn't matter if they are pure or not, as long as the price of the goods is high, they can be saved, and they will be useful when the time comes."
Li Shen added.
Wang Hongfu left after writing it down, and he needed to implement everything Li Shen said.
"Is the prince preparing to deal with the Wa Kingdom?" Wang Xuance asked.
"That's not it, this king just thinks that the Wa Kingdom is too close to our Datang, and it would be good if he could make some money, so they will be the first stop for our overseas trade.
Xuan Ce, you also have to arrange for people to come over, and we have to understand their situation. There is also the wharf, and we must always pay attention to what the Japanese people are transporting. If technology is involved, it can't be shipped back to them.
Hey, it looks like we're going to have to form a pirate group. ”
After hearing this, Wang Xuance said in his heart, you are not trying to deal with the Japanese country, and the intelligence has been collected first.
"How many clippers do we have now?" Li Shen asked.
"Back to the prince, there are four large ones, and there is a super large clipper ship that is about to be completed." Wang Xuance replied.
"Xuan Ce, do you think we can get the drawings of the ship?"
In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, the building ship was the main force of the navy, and Li Shen built the flying clipper ship entirely because he was fast.
Moreover, because of its large size, the building ship can sail at sea for a long time, because Datang once sent a fleet through Malacca to India.
"Lord Wang, the drawings of the large building ships are all in the hands of the imperial court, and they are military ships," Wang Xuance was speechless.
On the building ship, there are columns of female walls, battle grids, tree flags, open crossbow windows and spear holes, and place throwing car barriers and stone iron juice, which is like a city fortress, and it is the most important combat ship in the naval equipment at that time, and the weapons are complete.
Why does this prince still want to play warships?
"Well, this king just asked, isn't the building ship loaded?"
Li Shen waved his hand and said.
"Lord Wang, it's nothing, the minister went to arrange it." Wang Xuance really can't stand his master in this YY.
"Xuan Ce, arrange for someone to recruit crew members on the beach, and let those clippers also move. If the Wa Kingdom is transporting technical books, supplies or personnel, then let them feed the fish. ”
"Yes" Wang Xuance nodded, although he didn't understand, but Wang Xuance still carried out Li Shen's order meticulously.
The importance of technology is not yet known in this era. Or technical barriers.
Therefore, the development of many countries has made leaps and bounds, and the Wa Kingdom is one of them.
"Lord Wang, an ambassador of the Wa Kingdom asked to see him, what is the name of the dog Mita Yun, and he also brought a gift, saying that it was to make amends for the prince." Wei Fugui reported outside.
"Inugami Mita?" Li Shen didn't know him, but he still felt that he should meet him.
"Let him wait in the antechamber."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Shen came to the front hall and saw a middle-aged man in a Tang Dynasty costume standing there.
Seeing Li Shen coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"The foreign minister Inugami Mita has seen His Royal Highness King Ji."
"Well, sit down."
The Datang dialect on the dog can no longer hear the accent of the Wa Kingdom, and those who don't know really think that he is a Datang person.
"What is the reason why the ambassador is here?" Li Shen asked.
"The foreign minister is here to apologize for Su Wujun's collision with His Highness today." Inougami hurriedly got a gift.
Li Shen waved his hand at Wei Fugui, and Wei Fugui stepped forward to take it.
"Since it's the ambassador who came, then forget about this matter, you go back and tell that Su me or something. The people of my Tang Dynasty are all the people of my Li family,
In my Datang, I have to abide by the rules of my Datang and bully the people of my Datang, which is to slap my royal family in the face.
If I, Aye, am not happy, the land of your little projectile will destroy you in an instant. You Tang said it so well, you must have been here for a long time, you should know if this king is lying. ”
(I've been busy lately and often go out to run errands, so many comments are not answered in a timely manner, so please forgive me.)
In addition, the minister in the article was the name of the highest official position in Japan at that time, not a general term. )
