Great Tang princess

Chapter 584 Foreign Policy
In fact, it is relatively easy to see people who are living a good life in this era. After the First World War in Baijiangkou, they officially sent Tang envoys to study the culture, clothing, laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty in an all-round way to enrich their country.

The people of this era are not Japanese people in Japanese dramas, but they have two small buns on the side of their heads like Nezha, which looks... a bit childish.

The clothing styles are also copied from Hanfu, and they have not made their own improvements.

In addition, they are also of East Asian race, so apart from some shortcomings in height, it is not easy to see the difference in appearance.

When the wooden ship, which looked very backward, approached, it obviously also found the uniformed army on the shore here, and seemed to hesitate for a while.

Then Li Yuechen sent someone to the bridge and shouted to them with a simple brass loudspeaker: "This is the sea area of ​​​​Dazhou, please follow the instructions and disembark immediately..."

In Japan at this time, Chinese is a compulsory course for almost all nobles. If the ship did not get lost and came here, I believe there must be someone who can understand it.

In fact, Li Yuechen once trained in Japan, and she knows some Japanese, but there will be a lot of imported words in the future Japanese, which should be very different from the Japanese of this era.

Hearing the Chinese shouting on the other side, he obediently brought the boat close to the wooden bridge, and then got off the boat one after another.

One of them said something to the soldier who was in charge of shouting. After a while, the soldier trotted all the way to Li Yuechen. tribute……"

After listening to the soldier's report, Li Yuechen nodded: "Send someone to check whether there are any dangerous items on their boat, arrange for them to stay, and the Japanese Palace will formally see them tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The soldier agreed, raised his hand in salute, then turned back neatly, and trotted over to negotiate with their men.

It was already late today, and Li Yuechen didn't want to meet people at night, so he went back first.

I just returned to the office to tidy up, and was about to go back to the room, when a group of children ran over and asked curiously: "Auntie, I heard that people from the Japanese country came, did they bring some novelties? "

Children of the royal family are used to seeing rare treasures in China since they were born, so they are generally very curious about tributes from abroad.

"No matter how novel it is, can an airship be even more novel?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

This sentence directly silenced the children. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.

"That's right, in terms of novelty objects, how can the ones made by my aunt be as good as these?" Li Longji replied coolly, looking like a little adult.

Among the children, the one who admired this aunt the most was Li Longji. He had completely transformed into a little fanboy, and his usual styles were developing towards the second Li Yuechen.

But there is no sense of disobedience in this, after all, Li Yuechen's personality is biased toward men, and so are his usual styles, so he won't look sissy on a man.

Li Chongrun on the side said: "Then these Japanese people have nothing to see."

Children are so real, there is nothing interesting, so naturally they can't arouse any interest.

However, Li Yuechen suddenly put on a serious expression: "You guys, you can't underestimate these Japanese people. If you underestimate them, after a thousand years, they will invade the country and make the land of China miserable!"

If other people say such things, the people around will definitely dismiss them, because the country is too powerful at this time, how can the country of Wa, a small country of Gar, invade?

But from Li Yuechen's mouth, the weight is naturally different.

Li Longji immediately said: "Then aunt, why don't you take advantage of our country's current prosperity and destroy it first?"

The other children also nodded in agreement. In the final analysis, children who come out of the military education system also look at problems with a military mindset, and it is naturally best to use war to solve them.

But Li Yuechen shook his head lightly: "You guys have overlooked a question, why did I say it will be a thousand years later instead of this time?"

As soon as this question was uttered, the children fell into silence again, lowering their heads and thinking.

After a long time, Li Xianhui asked with some uncertainty: "But it's because, after a thousand years, my own strength has declined?"

Li Yuechen nodded in relief, this question was answered to the point.

"You have to remember that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Even if the Wa country is destroyed at this moment, if we are not strong enough in a thousand years, we will still be bullied by other countries."

Li Yuechen didn't tell them too much tonight, but in the future, this point must run through the royal family's education system. In any case, as long as the country keeps the country strong, then there is no need to worry about the tragedies in the original history.

In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence, you need to be strong to forge iron, and if you are strong, others must be obedient.

……

The next morning, Li Yuechen was still the same as usual, waking up to do yoga, having some breakfast and then practicing on the playground.

The heavy Fang Tian painted halberd and double hammer whirred in the air, and even standing by and watching her practice, one could feel a terrifying power.

Until noon, these Japanese talents were brought into the barracks and received by the princess.

In fact, from the moment they went ashore last night, the surprise of these Japanese people has not stopped. Whether it is the huge shipyard, the neat buildings and the dusty hardened road, they all stared wide-eyed.

This morning, when I ate the delivered breakfast, I was even more surprised. It tasted so good. I had never eaten such delicious food in my previous life.

They visited the salt fields in the morning, and seeing the piles of pure white salt, they couldn't help but want to rush up and grab them and stuff them into their mouths.

In the early years, I heard that this land is also a country short of salt, but now it seems... It seems that the legend is not the same as the truth.

Look at the thick layer of salt on the ground. Those people didn't feel distressed at all when they stepped on it. How much confidence do they have to be able to do this?

Then these people got the same time and went to meet the princess.

So they were brought to the gate of the barracks, and when they saw the straight and wide concrete road, they couldn't help whispering.

However, the person standing at the front turned his head and said with a serious face: "This place is a military camp, and the nameplates hanging on the trees on both sides are all martyrs who once fought for our country and died heroically. Walking along this road On the road, it is forbidden to laugh and fight! Anyone who violates the order will be beheaded!"

The Japanese man at the front immediately agreed, and then translated his words to the people behind.

The crowd who were still whispering and discussing something immediately quieted down. If they violated the prohibition here, they would die in vain if they were killed, and even their own people would hate themselves to death.

So, a group of people set foot on this straight road very quietly and solemnly, not daring to show their atmosphere.

To be honest, if possible, Li Yuechen would not like to meet outsiders in the barracks, especially foreigners.

But there is no way around it. Qingdao was originally deserted, so it is not considered a formal city. There are no post houses here, and there are no occasions suitable for meeting outsiders.

What's more, in order to allow them to reach the Eastern Capital quickly, and at the same time to show their own strength, they must be sent there by airship.

But the airship's take-off and landing ground is in the barracks, so you still have to come in sooner or later.

And strictly speaking, from the moment they landed, they had already entered the range of the military area.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help sighing. No matter what, most of the facilities in the future still need to be separated from the general and the civilian. Of course, this can only be done when the finances are loose.

At the same time, she had another idea. Since they were going to send Tang envoys to study, they would naturally pay tribute every year. They could take this opportunity to start wars and trade and gather wealth for the country.

The Japanese archipelago has always been known for its frequent earthquakes. Frequent crustal activities have brought many disasters to the country, but it seems to confirm the saying that "disasters come with blessings." This special geological structure has also brought them It has extremely rich precious metal mineral resources, especially the most abundant silver ore reserves.

Li Yuechen's idea is very simple, that is to start trade with them, earn a lot of gold and silver and other precious metals for the country, and at the same time control the economic lifeline of the Wa country.

If possible, capitalism can even be born there directly, and a constitutional monarchy can be promoted, and then as long as these capitalists are trained to be "smart Tang" elements, it can be completely turned into a dependent country.

As for completely destroying it, Li Yuechen never thought about it. Leaving aside complicated political factors, the simplest problem is that if this country disappears, it will be a huge loss to the animation industry in the future.

In order for people in the future to see good-looking comics, it is better to let them continue to exist.

What's more, from the perspective of geographical location, in the future world structure, they can also form a role similar to door gods, the premise is that as long as they are obedient and obedient.

……

The interview process went smoothly. After seeing the princess, these Japanese people saluted obediently, with a very low attitude, as if they were afraid that the princess would be angry.

After questioning, she also understood that these people are not considered as official missions, because now the country of Wa plans to send Tang envoys to study again, so they can be regarded as saying hello in advance, sending some gifts, and asking for opinions here.

Li Yuechen nodded to show that he understood, and then arranged for the airship to take them to Dongdu, and asked them to stay here for a few more days. He wrote to his mother first and asked her opinion.

The meeting didn't take long, just treated the guests to a meal, and then sent them to their own residence, while sending someone to keep an eye on them.

Except for secret places like shipyards, they can visit the rest as they please.

Technologies such as saltworks will definitely be passed on in the future, but how to pass them on is up to them.

Li Yuechen is very clear that as long as he contributes to the flames, Japan will definitely be able to germinate capitalism in advance and promote the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.

Because they are currently studying the culture here in an all-round way, it sounds really good, but there is a practical problem that must be considered.

Li Yuechen also asked about it during lunch, and now Japan has also studied the imperial examination system, it seems that the Japanese royal family realized that this system is beneficial to the imperial power and can prevent the aristocratic family from monopolizing power.

But the biggest problem is that if you want to take the exam, you must read a lot of Chinese classics, and you must know Chinese as a prerequisite.

Chinese is a compulsory course for Japanese nobles, but where do the people get such resources?
Therefore, it is doomed that even if the imperial examination is established in this country, it will still be equal to the internal competition of the aristocratic family, and it will only be a matter of time before the imperial power is completely emptied.

As long as Li Yuechen adds fuel to the flames a little bit, a chaebol will be formed, and the birth of capitalism is a certainty.

So after eating at noon, Li Yuechen sat in the office and began to write letters to his mother, writing out all his thoughts.

For a whole afternoon, I wrote a scroll eloquently, and didn't stop writing until dusk.

Early the next morning, a pilot was sent to fly to Dongdu with a hang glider to send the letter back.

……

Outside the village, many villagers chatted while working in the fields when they got up early in the morning. Now that the harvest is good every year, the atmosphere among the villagers is also extremely relaxed.

While chatting, I suddenly saw a group of foreigners not far from the edge of the field, pointing at the sky and yelling. Some of them immediately bowed down and knelt down, chanting words they didn't understand.

The villagers looked up and saw a triangular hang glider passing through the air, gliding to the distance.

"Where do these people come from? I can't understand the chatter..."

"Old Zhang, isn't your boss a soldier in His Highness's army? Do you know where these people come from?"

"Oh, those are all Japanese people who came to pay tribute."

"It looks like he regards that big kite as a fairy, right? He came from a place other than transformation, so he really doesn't have much knowledge."

……

These yelling Japanese people were directly regarded by the villagers as bumpkins who had never seen the world, and they were working in the fields while chatting happily.

These days, just one thing is enough for them to chat for a long time, until new gossip emerges.

In fact, Li Yuechen had already considered opening a branch of the newspaper here. Now that the school has been built, and more and more people can read and write in the future, it will be a matter of course to publish newspapers here.

In the next few days, the villagers basically watched these Japanese yelling from time to time, and they were laughing and laughing beside them, which felt very interesting.

At the same time, Li Yuechen also received a reply from his mother, in which she expressed her high approval and appreciation for her ideas. Although she did not understand some vocabulary, she could feel her comfort from the lines.

It seems that this daughter has finally enlightened, and now she finally looks like an emperor.

As for her daughter's policy, she did not express any thoughts of her own, but expressed her complete agreement. She would do what her daughter said.

Hence, Li Yuechen directly arranged for the airship to send them to the Eastern Capital tomorrow, preparing to meet the emperor.
