This is why Xu Ping attaches importance to Goryeo's trade routes.? The market in Japan is indeed much larger than Goryeo, but it is difficult to open it up. The Fujiwara family has extremely strict precautions for foreign forces. Foreign merchants are not allowed to sell goods by themselves or get off the ship and walk around casually when they get there. There are more restrictions than the several maritime departments in the Song Dynasty. Because Goryeo is too far away, its vigilance is not as high as Japan. With powerful families like the Wang family, it is much easier to trade.

After understanding the situation in Northeast Asia, Xu Ping said to Wang Wen: "Things always have to be done step by step. Don't think too much for now. Let's talk about Japan. Don't worry about goods. In the future, your family will send someone to come, either in Tokyo or in Xijing, and choose a suitable trade. In the future, you don't have to go ashore from Mingzhou. You will directly go from Goryeo to Mizhou. The journey by sea is close, and there is Wuzhang River from Jingdong Road to the two capitals, which is convenient for travel. However, there is one thing I am ugly about. This dynasty has always had book bans. Although in previous years, Bin Gongsen from Goryeo collected folk books in the capital and had always been a ban, it is always a ban. In the future, you can trade books, but what kind of books are engraved by which company, and the number of them, you must submit them to the Imperial College and the Imperial College. If you violate the ban, the national law will not be spared!"

Wang Wen hurriedly bowed and bowed: "The officials of Ducao are so kind, how could we break the ban again? The small country of Goryeo has always admired the Chinese style. Every book comes there and treats it as a treasure! Ducao's move is really great!"

The surrounding countries, from Goryeo to Khitan, have very few cultures that are much worse than those of the Song Dynasty. Books from the Central Plains are very popular in those places. However, because books contain geographical customs and customs, and have concerns about revealing military secrets, the Song Dynasty has always prohibited exports. But in fact, this ban is useless, and there are countless smugglings. Xu Ping's idea is that instead of letting people smuggle, it is better to let some books be exported and reviewed in advance. The books that are then mainly Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures and Confucian scriptures. As for military geography and other miscellaneous things, they naturally have to be blocked.

Seeing that Huang Jinbiao was sitting on the side and couldn't get in the middle of words, Xu Ping asked with a smile: "Huang Jinbiao, have you ever gone out of the sea?"

Huang Jinbiao raised his head: "Of course I walked by on the sea boat, otherwise how could I want to do Goryeo business?"

Xu Ping was intrigued and asked him: "Have you been to Goryeo? Have you been to Japan? Or have you been to Nanyang?"

"What Ducao officials said is that they are all small countries in the country. I, Huang Jinbiao, are at least a person in the country. Why are you running there if you have nothing to do? I took a boat from Qinzhou to Mingzhou. I was not close along the way! But the boat was big and it was steadily running, but there was nothing. Moreover, the sea boat was not slow to run, and it was much faster to go to Mingzhou than to 6!"

"It's not bad to Qinzhou from Mingzhou. It's really a long way to go, but I'm afraid it's farther than to Japan and Goryeo. In the future, when more ships are needed, Guangnan's cargo will be transported to the Central Plains. Try not to go 6 routes, and the sea route is much closer. It's still a little farther to Mingzhou. If you go to Mizhou or Dengzhou, it will be more convenient."

Xu Ping naturally knew that Huang Jinbiao actually did not dare to run around the sea. The coastal commercial road from Qinzhou to Mingzhou was already mature. There was not much danger, so he dared to take a boat. However, he rarely dared to go to the sea, and it would not be said to him. The sea merchants from south to north of China have already been familiar with each other, but there was no official organization, and the climate was not enough. In addition, there were many small islands along the coast, pirates were present, and the typhoon season was extremely dangerous, and they had never played a role in replacing the 6-side trade route. Of course, this is also related to the lack of economic exchanges in Guangnan and Jiangnan, and the trade routes mainly lead to the Central Plains.

According to Xu Ping's idea, the official came forward, from Mizhou in the north, to Mingzhou and Quanzhou in the central region, to Guangzhou and Qinzhou in the south, several maritime departments organized large fleets to establish stable trade routes. This kind of thing can only be done by the official. No matter how big the private maritime merchants do, they will eventually go on the evil path of collusion with pirates.

However, all this will be discussed after Xu Ping returns to Sansi. Now it is just a coincidence, so prepare in advance.

The center of trade in Northeast Asia is Mingzhou at this time. From there, it crosses the East China Sea, and to Shikashima in Hiraki, which is what Xu Ping mentioned in his previous life, and then to Hakata in Chubu, which is Fukuoka in Kyushu. The trade between the Song Dynasty and Japan was carried out there. As for trade with Goryeo, because the scale was not large, most of them were borrowed from Japan. Because Japan was closed to the country, this trade route that began to flourish during the Tang Dynasty became deserted, and it was not convenient to go to Goryeo. Therefore, a new Maritime Department was established in Mizhou, which was much more likely to go to Goryeo from there, cross the Yellow Sea, and to Goryeo, and there were fewer typhoons.

If Japan did not change its policy of locking the country for a while, a large amount of trade exchanges would probably have to go through Goryeo and transfer to Japan from there. Then Mizhou could only replace Mingzhou's status and assume the status of the Northeast Asia trade center. As for the future, as long as the two sides had close contacts, with Japan's political situation, it would not be difficult for the Song Dynasty to support some powerful vassals near the coast.

In fact, the power gap between the Song Dynasty and the surrounding small countries at this time was very large. In history, the Southern Song Dynasty was beaten to the point of being beaten on the 6th and had the confidence to threaten Goryeo. If they did not cooperate, they sent 100,000 naval troops to cross the sea and destroyed the small country. The reason why the threat to the 6th seemed powerless was largely because the opponent had mastered a large area of ​​traditional farming areas.

Xu Ping's interest in Northeast Asia is only a trade route at present, and further action will be more than worth the loss.

After talking for a while, Xu Ping said to Wang Wen: "You are not easy to come from afar, so you live in Xijing for a few days to see the customs and customs of the Central Plains, and be familiar with the market and trade. It will be useful in the future. I heard that in those places in Goryeo believe in Buddhism, I have a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures here, so I will give you the right to be a gift."

The public official brought a wooden plate and covered it with red silk.

Xu Ping uncovered the red silk and said to Wang Wen: "This is the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra", which Emperor Zhenzong personally commented and published by the Sansi Bookstore. No matter how it is calculated, it is a top-notch. Even in the Central Plains, this is also a rare rare book."

Wang Wen hurriedly stood up, took it respectfully, and thanked him repeatedly.

Emperor Zhenzong's taste was extremely complicated, and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were mixed, and they could all be eaten. The one who encouraged people to read was "The Encouragement of Learning", and the sentence "There is a golden house in the book, and the beauty of the book is a wide variety of circulating. Needless to say, Taoism was directed, and he directed the Book of Welcome Heaven, enfeoffed the East and West, and enfeoffed the Taoist gods. Buddhism did not fall behind, and personally annotated the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra" and led the compilation and publication of many Buddhist scriptures.

Whether it was Xiang Dali, Jiaozhi Chameng, or Goryeo Japan, the books Xu Ping first gave them were Taoist or Buddhist classics. Is Confucian classics required or given selectively. The way to govern the country is that it is not good to spread, and the small countries are not suitable for the local environment and chanting scriptures is okay. It is really good to make a poem that says I don’t know what kind of tricks will happen. Of course, the people in power in these small countries, except for Dali, also welcome Buddhist scriptures and Taoist sects, which is why everyone is happy.
