Li Yuanxing said something more, and Cui Dunli couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Highness, I think that as long as you strictly abide by the rules of the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty, nothing will be privileged. Naturally, there won't be any accidents, but I just don't understand? Your Highness has sent people to find special people among the people of Japan Island to come back and study.
, what’s the point of preventing the people from the envoy from letting them learn?”
"Those sent by the official government must be extremely loyal people. I will not bother you."
"Your Highness is wise!" Cui Dunli's words were nonsense. Both he and Li Yuanxing knew it. Even if Li Yuanxing only wanted to be happy for himself, Cui Dunli would not object to this trivial matter.
Li Yuanxing stood up with a smile: "I will give you a test question. In winter, wear as much as you can; in summer, wear as much as you can!"
After Cui Dunli read it again, a person like him who had read poetry and books immediately understood the meaning of it. He also started laughing along with Li Yuanxing.
"Leave them alone first and wait until there is news from the Japanese island."
"Yes, I am resigning!"
The people on the Japanese island did not dare to cause trouble in Chang'an. The Gaochang envoy, including the envoy, who robbed the people of a cart of food, is still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The notice at the entrance of Yingbin Garden is still hanging.
When the Japanese envoys moved in, this notice could scare them into a cold sweat.
At least they have never heard of anyone who would put the entire envoy in prison.
The chief envoy of the Japanese envoy, Oshima Kozo, did not even enter his room but went directly to the Baekje envoy he knew.
When asked about Gaochang, the Baekje envoy smiled coldly: "They deserve to be imprisoned. They thought that the king of Gaochang deceived the king of Qin of the Tang Dynasty into his BMW and pearls, and the Tang Dynasty would treat them as superior, but it turned out that
I don't know that they are looking for death. Since you have come to me, I will only tell you a story."
The Baekje envoy told in detail how he beat Jin Manqing in the street.
Oshima Mitsuzo was already sweating profusely after listening to this!
It is winter now, and there is no heating in Yingbin Garden. However, the few coal stoves provided make the room not hot enough to sweat.
In a word, he was scared.
The Tang Dynasty was much more ruthless than the Sui Dynasty.
"In Chang'an, put away your aristocratic status. Only the nobility recognized by His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty are nobility here. The rest are not as good as the common people of Chang'an City!" The Baekje envoy gave the most sincere advice.
.
With a chill, Oshima Kozo's mind was filled with thoughts about what the Baekje envoy had said to him.
When I returned to my residence, I saw an official from the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty standing at the door. Judging by his appearance, he was just an official from the fifth rank. Generally speaking, those who received envoys were at least the rank of minister of the fourth rank.
At least that was the case in the former Sui Dynasty.
Seeing the Japanese envoy, the official threw the Japanese credential to the Japanese envoy. This sudden change made Oshima Mitsuo a little confused, but the official’s next words did not leave any room for error: "Your country is very big.
Momentum, if you want to issue a declaration of war, go ahead and do whatever you want with this letter of credence. Even a small, barbaric island country dares to speak nonsense."
After saying that, the official of the Ministry of Rites shook his sleeves vigorously and turned to leave.
After leaving the door, the official of the Ministry of Etiquette felt regretful again and muttered to himself: "I should have thrown it in his face." While muttering quietly, he got on the carriage and ordered to return to the Ministry of Etiquette immediately to deliver the errand.
An envoy from an unknown country who was coming back from outside felt his heart tremble when he heard these words.
From the Sui Dynasty to the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, until the Zhenguan period.
But unknowingly, this envoy, who had been traveling to Chang'an for more than ten years, felt the power of the Tang Dynasty. When did officials from the Ministry of Rites treat envoys with such a cold face?
Wajima's envoy Oshima Kozo silently put away his credentials, and he was also thinking about what to do next.
His mission was to establish normal diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and the more important task was to arrange for the people he brought to learn the advanced technology and knowledge of the Tang Dynasty.
The people of the Central Plains are very face-saving. In the former Sui Dynasty, they called themselves the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, and also called the Emperor of the Central Plains the Emperor of the Sunset. This already made the emperors of the former Sui Dynasty angry. Now the Tang Dynasty seems to be more tough, and it directly escalates the situation.
At the height of declaring war, Oshima Kouzo had no choice but to ignore it.
In the next few days.
Oshima Kozo visited various departments in the Tang Dynasty, and the issue of credentials from the Ministry of Rites was temporarily suppressed, and he had already agreed to study. This entrance examination seemed reasonable, but the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty had already started, and the Japanese
Students on the island can only wait until May of the following year to take the preliminary examination, re-examination in July, and enroll on the third day of August.
The matter of studying seems to have been settled.
Oshima Kozo went to the Ministry of Accounts again and was told that the Ministry of Commerce was responsible for the affairs of foreign merchants.
After he went to the Ministry of Commerce, he asked about the trade treaty.
Oshima Kōsan once again prepared to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to inquire, but the people below came to report: "Oshima-kun, we have no food. The food provided when we disembarked has been eaten, but the officials here declared that the people in Chang'an City
All food can only be purchased by ourselves. I have asked other missions and this is the rule. But we have no money."
"No money?" Oshima Hikaru was confused.
This is not his fault, because in the former Sui Dynasty, as long as they came, all the expenses were paid by the former Sui royal family. But here they only manage housing, not food.
When they came, they brought plenty of gifts, but the only thing they didn't bring was copper coins and silver.
Speaking of gold, I just brought some accessories.
We are really in trouble.
"Oshima-kun, I have already inquired about it. Now there are three possible ways for us."
"Speak quickly!" Oshima Kouzo has lost his due calmness.
"The first way is to seek help from the Tang Dynasty Prince Qin's Palace. There are many small states here that simply cannot afford their living expenses in Chang'an, but they have received funding from the Tang Dynasty Prince Qin's Palace. Some of this funding comes at a cost, but some do not.
However, there are too many of us, so the amount of funding may not be easy!”
"Tell me the second way!" Oshima Kouzo urged.
"The second way is to sell part of the gifts we brought. This can be exchanged for some coins. Of course, this is not the final solution to the problem. We still brought too many people."
Oshima Kozo understood that this was a mistake they made when they set out. They thought that when they came to Datang, Datang would be responsible for all expenses, so they brought hundreds of people over. But now it seems that these people have become
He has a huge burden, and just eating and drinking can drag him down.
"The third way is to let these people go out to work and earn money to support themselves!"
"Working and fooling around. Where do you want to show the face of our country, Yamato!" Oshima Kozo became angry.
His subordinates were not anxious at all, and said slowly: "According to what we have learned in the past few days, the Khitans in the northern part of the Central Plains have received the most support. They have more than 500 students who attend school for free, but only a dozen of them
They have actually entered the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty. The rest of them are studying in second-class colleges because their qualifications are too poor. They will be assessed after a year and then re-determined whether they are qualified for admission. Should the people we bring also be assessed internally first?
?”
Oshima Kozo nodded, these words are true and necessary.
The subordinate continued: "Everyone of the Khitan people studying in the second-class college is working. It is now known that the third prince of Khitan goes to Lemin Garden every day to help in the accounting room, responsible for sorting out the small accounts of daily income. The seventh Khitan prince
The princess is helping out at the Hongwen Museum of the Tang Dynasty, with the task of storing books in the library!"
"This..." Oshima Kouzo was a little surprised.
After thinking about it, he said: "First, I will pick out some items that can be exchanged for a large amount of coins in Chang'an. Then I will inquire in detail about the workmanship. I will apply to see His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty and prepare gifts!"
"yes!"
Oshima Kozo wanted to see King Qin, but was King Qin so easy to meet?
Not to mention the King of Qin, Cui Changshi of the Prince of Qin's Mansion had no chance to see him after waiting for five days. The greeting cards from the Prince of Qin's Mansion were all piled up into a small mountain. Four clerks were specially responsible for sorting out these posts and dividing them into three, six or nine grades.
, wait for the senior stewards of the Qin Palace to select again, and then send it to Chang Shi, and then arrange the time.
If you want to see His Highness the King of Qin directly, without special permission, you will have to wait until three months before being excluded.
While waiting anxiously, Oshima Kozo did not wait for the response from the Qin Palace, but saw a group of men wearing gorgeous clothes but still wearing their Japanese hairstyle on the streets of Chang'an City.
Passed by his carriage.
"Stop!" Oshima Kozo ordered the driver to stop, but when he went back, he saw those people entering the Admiral Tiance's Mansion in Chang'an City, and a steward actually opened the small door on the far right next to the main entrance.
Door.
The main entrance of General Tiance's Mansion in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty has nine gates.
The door in the middle has never been opened except when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came in person. The two doors on the left and right sides are usually open, and the people who can enter and exit are at least officials of the fourth rank or above. The green ones further out.
The second door is where female guests with status come in and out, and then there is the fourth door where officials of lower rank and fifth rank come in and out.
The two outermost paths, the left one, are for merchants with permission from Admiral Tiance's Mansion to enter and exit.
The right side is for civilians to enter and exit.
Those with lower status, such as those who just come to Admiral Tiance's Mansion to deliver goods or have other matters, use the corner door next to it.
Standing at the door, Oshima Hikaru was stunned for a long time.
These people are not the people he brought, because these people are wearing silk, which is not expensive material that his people can afford. The few people who can afford it are all very familiar to him. Who are these people?
People? Are they businessmen from their own country or subordinates of other princes on the island?
Yamato only occupies the southwest of Honshu Island, which is a little more than one-third of the entire Honshu Island.
Shikoku, Kyushu, and some small countries are still not unified.
Who are these people? Oshima Kouzo felt more and more uneasy. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
