Tang's dining table

Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian only took a thousand personal guards to Yingzhou.

The reason why they want to go to Yingzhou is entirely because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's plan to have the Japanese country help Silla rescue Silla failed.

The king of Japan refused to come forward, and even sent a humble silk letter, claiming that the country was poor, and suffered a major disaster such as the earth dragon turning over. Thousands of houses in Fujiwara Kyouchi collapsed, and more than 2,000 people were killed and injured. Because the earth dragon turned over, the mountains collapsed, the rivers were blocked, and the seedlings in the fields were scorched.

Nowadays, the Japanese people are working together to fight against the disaster. There is really no extra force to attack Baekje. Please forgive me, the king of the country above.

In addition, because Fujiwara Kyo was severely damaged, the Japanese king prepared to build Pingcheng Kyo, hoping to use Chang'an and Luoyang as a blueprint to build a new capital, Pingcheng Kyo, so that the Japanese could admire the style of the upper country.

At the same time, the envoys were accompanied by twenty-six architects from the Japanese Kingdom. They hoped to directly enter the prefectures and counties of the capital of the Shang Dynasty to learn how to manage the capital and build a new capital.

The Japanese envoy came this time and brought very good silver nuggets and pearls, as well as a ten-foot-high red coral. He was very polite and thoughtful. It can be said that except for not sending troops to attack Baekje, he did everything else. Very good.

There was nothing we could do. At this time, Silla was about to be beaten to death by the combined armies of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Mohe.

In less than a year, more than thirty cities in the north have been captured. The letter asking for help stated that if the Tang Dynasty continued to refuse to send troops to Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty would forever lose a loyal vassal state.

Changsun Wuji believed that it was actually good for the Tang Dynasty to lose this loyal vassal state. When the troops of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Mohe all gathered in the narrow land of Silla to fight fiercely, the Tang army would be dispatched again. The army raided Goguryeo, broke through the Yalu River, and blocked all the capable soldiers of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Mohe on that peninsula.

Just like raising voodoos, they are provoked to kill each other. When they are exhausted from killing each other, they will drag the Japanese country in and continue to fight in this basin where voodoos are raised.

If the military strategy is properly arranged and the civil affairs are handled properly, then within twenty years, the troubles over there can be completely eliminated.

Yunchu also thought this idea was really good, but unfortunately, Li Zhi didn't listen. He thought his own face was more important, and he didn't have the patience to wait another twenty years.

Today, the Tang Dynasty is still preparing for the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. No matter what, we must learn from the lessons of Emperor Taizong who froze to death and suffered frostbite during the Eastern Expedition.

After waiting for a bumper cotton harvest this year and equipping the soldiers with warm enough winter clothes, the Tang army will head to Liaodong to fight.

The main purpose of Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and others going to Liaodong was to join forces with Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Yingzhou, to send 10,000 troops to pretend to attack Goguryeo. It would be best to achieve some results and prevent the Goguryeo people from attacking Silla with all their strength.

By the way, it also blocked the tear ducts of the Silla envoy. To be honest, even Li Zhi couldn't stand the tearful performance of the Silla envoy in the main hall.

The next day, when Yun Chu arrived at the public house, Director Wu, who had just been appointed as the new Wannian County Director from Hu Cao, hurried over.

Yun Chu, who was tending the small stove and preparing to make some pots of tea, said strangely: "Aren't you training at Honglu Temple? Why are you back?"

Director Wu took the pine cones and other sundries from Yun Chu's hand, and while lighting the stove skillfully, he said: "Yes, Xiaguan originally had to train for six days, but early this morning, the students from Honglu Temple Wei Shaoqing called the official over, saying that he had official business to answer.

Only after I went to Xiaguan did I know that Wei Shaoqing had sent two Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty from Wannian County. No, these people were not envoys to the Tang Dynasty. They had a new name called Guanfeng envoys.

He said that he came specifically to observe our Wannian County, so that after returning, he could rebuild a capital called Pingcheng Jing according to the appearance of our county.

No, the official led them over. "

Yun Chu chuckled and said: "Guan Feng Envoy, such an envoy should not be sent to Wannian County. There is little wind this year, and the windmills in Jinchangfang are not turning very much. They should be sent to Qinling Mountains, where the wind is strong."

Chief Wu laughed and said, "It's just a Japanese. It doesn't matter at first. But this time it's different. Your Majesty heard that these Japanese people came to learn Chang'an's construction techniques, so he specially gave them to Honglu Temple." The purpose is to treat this matter well, and strive to let these Japanese people learn and learn well, and build a Chang'an city on the borders of the Japanese country.

I always feel that Your Majesty is doing this because he really hopes that the Japanese country can be built well, so that when our Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses move into the Japanese country, they will have a familiar place to live. If this is the case, the county magistrate should take it seriously. "

Yun Chu nodded and said, "If your Majesty really thinks so, then you should take it seriously. By the way, what is that person's name?"

"His name is Amei, the name is Aliduo Beihu, and the name is Abejimi."

Yun Chu thought for a moment and said, "How should I call this Wind Watcher?"

Master Wu first blew on the pine cones to make them burn, and then said to Yun Chu: "This man speaks Tang dialect very well, and calls himself Abe."

Hearing the surname Abe, Yun Chu naturally thought of Abe Nakamaro. He couldn't help it. The reason why he remembered this Japanese name so well was entirely because he had to take the history test.

Yun Chu smiled, and when he saw that the water was already sitting, he invited Mr. Wu to sit down and have morning tea together.

As for Abe waiting outside, just let him wait.

Chief Secretary Wu, who had turned from a clerk into an official, was very talkative, mainly because Yun Chu gave him the courtesy of a chief secretary, and he was no longer the Wu Hucao who allowed others to scold him.

One was deliberately flattering and the other was deliberately trying to win over them. Naturally, the tea was very enjoyable to drink.

When that Abe came in, Yun Chu was a little surprised. When he was in the Imperial College, he had never seen the Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. He even used his fists to test the Japanese men's muscle density and ability to withstand beatings.

All I can say is, very weak.

The Japanese man in front of him was very different from the dark and short Japanese people Yun Chu had come into contact with in the past.

This guy is not tall, but he is definitely not short either. He does not have the weird hairstyle of the Japanese people on his head. He is neatly dressed and is wearing a gray shirt with a black round collar.

There is a horizontal line at the knees of the Lan shirt, which divides the person's body into two parts. People in the Tang Dynasty did not wear Lan shirts very much, but the Japanese people seemed to like it very much. This may be related to the fact that they like to kneel and sit most of the time.

In the Tang Dynasty, sitting on one's knees was obviously no longer popular. Jinchangfang's tables, chairs, stools, and tables and chairs made of bamboo have become very popular in Chang'an. With these things, everyone would hold hands with each other when they met. Then he lifted up his robe and sat down on a chair or stool, looking extraordinarily free and casual.

"I've met the county magistrate." Abe's voice was just like Master Wu said. It was very pleasant, even a little magnetic, without any awkward Japanese accent.

Yunchu cast his gaze on Abe's face and said, "Where do you want to learn from, where do you want to start?"

Seeing that Yunchu was not very enthusiastic, Abe handed it over again and said: "The Japanese country is an uncivilized land. When I came to the Tang Dynasty this time, I wanted to learn from the beginning of architecture."

When Yunchu heard what Abe said, he called the newly appointed Yang Hucao over and said to him: "Arrange for this wind watcher to go to Qujiangfang brick kiln to watch the wind. Don't give him special care just because he is a watcher.

It doesn't matter if you are a little embarrassed now, but it would be embarrassing if you didn't learn anything when you returned to Japan.

Let him do all the work in the brick kiln for three months. After the three months are up, he will be sent to the Guangfufang or Anyefang construction site to learn how to build a house. "

Abe was stunned for a moment after hearing Yunchu's arrangement, and then immediately said: "Reporting to the county magistrate, there are brick-making workshops in the Japanese country, so you don't need to learn how to bake bricks, right?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "To learn, you must have a humble and prudent heart. Even if you have a brick-making workshop in Japan, I think it will be of great benefit if you follow me and learn it again. That's it."

Abe still wanted to speak, but he was pulled away by the very impatient Yang Hucao. The county magistrate even said something, why does this man talk so much nonsense.

The meaning of the county magistrate is already obvious. If a Japanese comes to the brick kiln, the cows and horses in the brick kiln can take turns to rest.

This was not because Yun Chu was deliberately trying to embarrass the Japanese people, but this was the consistent attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards the Japanese people.

The coming of all nations to the dynasty was a way for the Tang Dynasty to maintain its own glory, and paying tribute was a system to maintain the Tang Dynasty's hegemony.

However, this does not mean that the Tang Dynasty can take care of these Japanese people in every possible way. As many knowledgeable people in the Tang Dynasty court have said, let the surrounding countries and tribes maintain a certain degree of ignorance. Say it is beneficial.

Tubo is a living example. A tribe that originally lived like savages learned to form a tribal alliance after dealing with the Tang people for a long time.

After learning the tribal alliance, he didn't give up. Now, a very primitive royal court appeared.

What is most unacceptable to the people of the Tang Dynasty is that these savages who used to raise sheep, cattle, horses, eat some wild vegetables, and hunt some prey have now not only learned to farm, but also learned to make armor, and also used the Tang Dynasty to escort them. The craftsmen in the dowry built the magnificent Jokhang Temple.

Nowadays, they are facing the Tang Dynasty with strong troops and strong horses.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty regretted this, so they were not as enthusiastic as before when dealing with envoys from various countries to the Tang Dynasty. After all, in the Tang Dynasty today, the grand occasion of all nations coming to court was no longer so rare.

Li Zhi had seen the scene of envoys from all over the world kneeling and worshiping many times, and he had long since lost the good feeling of being king of the world on such occasions.
