Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1337 Protecting the Daming
Japanese country.

Asuka, Jingyuyuan Palace.

Suga Mazi is planning a big event in Taiji Palace. He is going to build a new palace in the northeast of Asuka Jingyuhara Palace.

However, there are also many people who object, thinking that the new palace is too close to the Jinguyuan Palace, so it is better to build a new capital.

According to the Japanese tradition, after each emperor succeeds to the throne, a new imperial palace will be built, but the Japanese imperial palace cannot compare with the imperial palace of the Central Plains, not even the palace of the Central Plains emperor.A Japanese imperial palace is actually a small building complex. In addition to the emperor's palace, there is also the office of the imperial court, but the residences of officials and common people are not nearby.

Although the Japanese imperial palace and the common people's place are collectively referred to as Asuka, this capital is completely different from the Central Plains, and the imperial palace and city square are separate.

"We should imitate the two capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an in the Great Qin Dynasty, and build a new capital with the lifang system, building the imperial palace and the common people's lifang together!" said a confidant of Su Womazi.Building the imperial palace in the capital will also help control the emperor.

After several days of discussion, Su Ermazi decided to build a new capital.

The new Kyoto will be built a hundred miles north of Asuka. This place is located in the central and western part of Yamato Island, in the northern part of Tengyuan Basin. It is only ten miles east of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. It is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north sides. The original basin opens into the Southwest Bay in the shape of a giant pocket.

"Tengyuan Capital is ten miles from north to south, and nine miles from east to west. Its size is equivalent to one-fifth of Chang'an City in the Great Qin Dynasty in the Central Plains!"

A Japanese master craftsman who had studied architecture in the Central Plains presented the construction plan of Xinjing to Suga and others.

"A total of twelve roads were built in the north and south, and the east and west were divided into two capitals on the left and right with Zhuque Road as the center, and each had four lanes. After the completion of Zhuque Street, it will become the widest road in our country, with a width of six feet, and there will be more than one foot on the west side. The wide side is used for drainage, the end of the road is the Suzaku Gate, and from there to the south is the Rashomon Gate, the southern gate of the capital, and the main roads are connected by small roads, and the main roads and small roads together surround Chengping Town."

The Suzaku Road, which is more than six feet wide, and such a wide road in the city, surprised all the Japanese officials including Mrs. Su. This is really a big deal.

Someone said, "Chang'an and Luoyang don't have such wide streets, do they?"

Su Womazi's face was not very good-looking, "Chang'an's Zhuque Avenue is ten miles long and fifty feet wide!"

This time the startled man couldn't even close his mouth.

Fifty feet wide?

And their Suzaku road was six feet wide, he thought it was incredible, fifty feet, how wide is this.

Wouldn't it be too wasteful for such a wide city street?

Su Wo Mazi also knew the gap between the Wa Kingdom and the Great Qin Dynasty, and did not blindly want to copy a Chang'an or Luoyang city.

"Side ditches should be built on all roadsides in the city to facilitate drainage. Xinjing should no longer be the same as before, with filth everywhere. Another point, imitating Chang'an City, the imperial palace was built in the north of the capital, outside the palace city. It is the imperial city, the inside is the government office, and the outside is the residential area."

"Minister, there is Qinglongxiangju Mountain in the east of Tengyuan Jingdong, Baihumu Mountain in the west, Xuanwuercheng Mountain in the north, Suzaku Yoshino Mountain in the south, protected by the four gods, it will prosper for a long time!"

Mazi Su was very happy to hear that.

"Build a new capital, and Vientiane will be renewed in the future. From now on, everyone will stop calling me a minister, and call me a general from now on."

Su Wo Mazi deliberately wants to de-emperorize, so now he wants to use Daqin's influence to rebuild a system.

There are four counties and 54 counties under it, and there are Jiedushi Yamen and Sansishi Yamen above. It was impossible for the Suwo family to really hand over the power to the Yamen of the Jiedushi. He opened the shogunate with the seal of the general who conquered the barbarians granted by the imperial court.

His shogunate's Jiedushi Yamen controlled the Sanshisi Yamen and the four counties and 54 counties in the local area.

In the past, the Monobe clan represented the conservative forces and devoted themselves to maintaining the Bumin system, but was defeated by the Soga clan who controlled the military.Later, the royal faction on the side of the Crown Prince of Stable House wanted to respect him in order to strengthen the imperial power and deprive the nobles and local powerful forces.

Now that Mazi Su is returning home alone, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to purge the royalists.

"Qin Tianzi has a very good management system for Buddhism and Taoism, which is very good. I think we should learn from it." Su Womazi said that Buddhism in Japan is too prosperous now, and it is not even controlled, which is not good.Therefore, we must also take over the Central Plains, establish a system of examinations, and prohibit monks from living in Jixiu Temple in Chengfang Village, etc.

While suppressing Buddhism, Su Wo Mazi respected Confucianism.

For the Central Plains system, he almost completely copied it.

Abolish the ministries system, abolish the royal family's granaries and the aristocratic manor system, imitate the central plains land equalization order and enforce the ban land system, and also levy two taxes.

And establish the government military system.

Local counties and counties also set up officials such as the prefect of the prefecture and the county magistrate, and even vigorously promote the school of county officials.

On the other hand, in order to win the support of nobles and local tyrants, Su Wo Mazi still took care of their interests with reservations. He also imitated Daqin and established a nine-rank and eighteen-rank official rank system in the Wa Kingdom.

The King of Japan concurrently served as Jiedu Envoy as the second rank, and the son of the King of Japan was also regarded as the second rank.And the general Zhengyi is also the second rank, and the third division envoy is the third rank.The prefects of the four counties are the fourth rank, and the county magistrates of the 54 counties are the seventh rank.

All official ranks are granted by the emperor, the third rank and above are public ministers, the fourth and fifth ranks can go to the palace to discuss affairs, and they are hall masters, and the fifth rank and above are all nobles.

Nobles can hereditary positions.

Below the fifth grade is a low-ranking official.

The nobles had not only the privilege of hereditary position, but also many other privileges.

As for the local powerhouses, Suga Mazi conferred titles such as prefects and county magistrates in the name of the shogunate, and ordered them to command the soldiers of the government, guard the place, and give them the guardian daimyo.

The court's aristocrats, ministers, and local guardian daimyos are actually trying to win the support of these powerful factions, so their original interests are reserved.

Both the ministers and the daimyo have their own fiefs, and they can have their own specified number of manors to maintain their interests.

And Su Wose also used this kind of entrustment and reward in exchange for the support of these powerful factions, so as to achieve the purpose of replacing the emperor and controlling the Wa country.

In this way, the shogunate of Su'er family can take over the Yamen of Jiedu envoy of King Wa.

"General! An urgent letter from Chikushi!"

The reform of the Suwo family went smoothly. After launching the comprehensive plan, it was supported because it took into account the interests of all powerful factions.

At this time, there was an urgent letter from Zhuzi, which surprised Su Womazi. After carefully reading the letter, he was silent for a long time.

"These Qin merchants are too arrogant!" Su Wo Eizo said.

Su Wo shook his head.

"Chikushi Murakami is still very aware of the general situation and considers the overall situation. He handled it very well. The major incidents were turned into small ones. In the end, he lost some money and settled the matter. This is the best result."

Su Womazi thought for a while, "Draft a letter for me. I want to express that Zhuzi Village is the Shogun Sima of the Great General Conquering Barbarians. He is a third-rank official. His son, Zhuzi Songxia, is the prefect of Zhuzi County. He is a fourth-rank official. Protect the daimyo, and feudally build the Zi family's [-]-stone food town."

"Father, Murakami is so cowardly and incompetent, why do you want to use him so much? Why don't you take the opportunity to seize his official position and send another member of my Suga clan to take over?"

Su Wo shook his head.

The Zhuzi family has been powerful for generations on Zhuzi Island, and their strength is not weak. Besides, the Zhuzi family's handling is very suitable for him. It is exactly what they need now to avoid messing with Daqin.

"Don't say any more, just write it like this!"
