Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

When Suga Linbai was carried back, As the head of the mission, Inugami Mita Shu, who had also been an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, hurriedly asked about the situation.

"What's going on? Soga-kun was hurt by someone."

"Returning to the ambassador, he was beaten by King Ji of the Tang Dynasty." Then the two attendants reported the whole story truthfully.

"Jun Suwo, you are confused. This is Chang'an, the Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, not our country of Japan. I have 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 Japanese country stronger after we return. "

Inugami Mita Shu hated the iron and said that if Suga Linbai was not the nephew of Suga Rulu, the powerful official of the Japanese state, Inugami Mita Shu would have been punished long ago.

"Inugami-kun, is Soga-kun's beating in vain? Then we won't be able to explain to the minister when we go back." said the guard Soga Linbai brought.

"Explain? Do you know who Prince Ji is? He is a prince, the richest prince in the Tang Dynasty, and is known as the God of Wealth among the people.

All the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty suffered losses at his hands, and our big families in the Japanese country were nothing in the Tang Dynasty. "

Inugami Mita Shu has been in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, and he feels more and more that the Japanese country is too small, so small that the big families and powerful forces they are proud of are insignificant compared to the Tang Dynasty.

A second- or third-tier family in the Tang Dynasty is more powerful than their so-called big family, which includes culture, wealth, and influence.

"Suga-kun, I will record this matter and report it to the minister when I return to the parliament." After Inugami Mita Shu finished speaking, he headed to Dongshi with his two followers.

At this moment, Li Shen has returned home. Today's events gave Li Shen some ideas. Li Shen has been ignoring the Japanese country.

It was also because there was nothing worthy of his attention in Japan, but today's events made him feel that he had to do something.

"Someone is here to recruit Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu." Li Shen felt that we should discuss it.

The Kingdom of Japan is actually not very far from the Tang Dynasty. If the weather is calm, it can even reach the territory of the Tang Dynasty in five days.

Even if we take the northern route, which is relatively far, we can reach Chang'an in one month.

Soon Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance arrived and came to Li Shen's study. After the ceremony, they sat down.

"I called you here today because of the Japanese country, a country that I have neglected." Li Shen got straight to the point.

"I don't know why the prince is talking about the Japanese country." Wang Hongfu said. He is just a businessman and doesn't care about politics.

"Old Wang, select a group of capable men and go to Japan to buy a piece of land for me. It should be near the sea and have a dock.

I want to build a base there, called Datang City. 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 our Prince Ji’s Mansion will go there to do business in the future. 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 rental one.

Wang Hongfu took a small notebook and wrote down what Li Shen said one by one.

"Also, we can collect their coins for our goods. It doesn't matter whether they are pure or not. As long as the price of the goods is high, save them and they will be useful later."

Li Shen added another sentence.

Wang Hongfu left after taking notes. He needed to implement everything Li Shen said.

"Is the prince preparing to deal with the Japanese country?" Wang Xuance asked.

"That's not the case. I just feel that the Japanese country is too close to our Tang Dynasty. As long as we can make some money, they will be the first stop for our overseas trade.

Xuance, you also need to arrange for people to go there. We need to understand their situation. The docks should also always pay attention to what the Japanese were transporting. If it involves technology, you can't let them ship it back.

Hey, it looks like we need to form a pirate group. "

After hearing this, Wang Xuance thought to himself, you are not going to deal with the Japanese country yet, you have collected the intelligence first.

"How many clippers do we have now?" Li Shen asked.

"Back to your lord, there are four large ones, and there is also a very large clipper ship that is almost completed." Wang Xuance replied.

"Xuance, do you think we can get the blueprints of the building ship?"

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, building ships were the main force of the navy. Li Shen built the clipper ship entirely because he was fast.

Moreover, because the large ships were large, they could sail on the sea for a long time, because the Tang Dynasty once sent a fleet through Malacca to India.

"Your Majesty, the drawings of large-scale ships are in the hands of the imperial court, and they are military ships," Wang Xuance was speechless.

There are rows of parapets, battle grids, flags, crossbow windows and spear holes on the top of the building ship. It is shaped like a fortress. It was the most important combat ship in the naval equipment at that time and was fully equipped with weapons.

Why does this prince still want to play with warships?

"Well, I just want to ask, isn't the building ship fully loaded with cargo?"

Li Shen waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing. I'll go make arrangements." Wang Xuance really couldn't stand his master having sex here.

"Xuan Ce, arrange for people to recruit crew members at the beach and let those clipper ships move. If the Japanese country is transporting technical books, materials or personnel, then let them feed the fish."

"Yes" Wang Xuance nodded. Although he didn't understand, Wang Xuance still carried out Li Shen's orders meticulously.

This era still doesn’t know the importance of technology. Or technical barriers.

Therefore, the development of many countries has made rapid progress, and Japan is one of them.

"Your Majesty, an ambassador from Japan asked to see him. His name was Inugami Mita Shu. He also brought a gift, saying he wanted to apologize to the prince." Wei Fugui reported outside.

"Inugami Mita Shu?" Li Shen didn't recognize him, but he still thought he should meet him.

"Let him wait in the front hall."

A quarter of an hour later, Li Shen came to the front hall and saw a middle-aged man in Tang Dynasty costume standing there.

Seeing Li Shen coming, he quickly stepped forward and saluted.

"The foreign minister Inugami Mita Shu has met His Highness Prince Ji."

"Well, sit down."

Inu Shang's Tang Dynasty speaker could no longer recognize the Japanese accent, and those who didn't know better thought he was from the Tang Dynasty.

"Why did the ambassador come here?" Li Shen asked.

"The foreign minister is here to apologize to Soga-kun for bumping into His Highness today." Inugami quickly asked someone to bring the gift.

Li Shen waved his hand to Wei Fugui, who stepped forward to take it.

"Since the ambassador is here, forget about it and go back and tell Su me something. The people of the Tang Dynasty are all the people of my Li family.

In the Tang Dynasty, we must abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty and insulting the people of the Tang Dynasty is a slap in the face of our royal family.

If I, Aye, are unhappy, your small country of Japan will be destroyed in an instant. You speak so well in Tang Dynasty. You must have been here for a long time. You should know if I have lied. "

(I have been very busy recently and often go out to do errands, so I don’t reply to many comments in time. Please forgive me.

Also, the minister in the article is the name of the highest official position in Japan at that time, not a general term. )
