Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

The country of Bohai, since the emperor canonized the lord of Bohai as the king of Bohai, Bohai has become a barrier of the Tang Dynasty and a member of the Tang Dynasty's tribute system.

Joining the tribute system of the Tang Dynasty will bring practical benefits to the Bohai County.

Merchant ships in the Bohai Sea can call at the port of Datang, buy goods from Datang at a fair price, and do business with Japan, which is also in the tributary system of Datang.

The current king of Bohai County is named Da Qinmao, and he has been in power for 20 years.

Since he was canonized by the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Da Qinmao has been actively studying the Tang Dynasty.

He imitated the system of the Tang Dynasty and established a political organization of "three provinces, six ministries, one station, seven temples, one hospital, one prison, and one bureau".

In addition, with Shangjing Longquan Mansion as the center, five capitals (Shangjing Longquan Mansion, Zhongjing Xiande Mansion, Tokyo Longyuan Mansion, Xijing Yalu Mansion, and Nanjing Nanhai Mansion) were established, and the government, prefecture, and county systems were established.

In addition to introducing the system of the Tang Dynasty, Da Qinmao also actively dispatched Tang envoys to learn advanced culture in the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in Bohai State speak Chinese, and the official documents used in the government offices of the entire Bohai State are all in Chinese.

In fact, this is not only true of Balhae, but also Silla and Japan.

Datang's influence is deeply rooted in the underlying structures of these countries.

To continue to study Datang, we must continue to Sinicize.

To continue Sinicization, we must continue to study Datang.

As long as Datang's economic, cultural and political centripetal force is still there, these small countries in the tributary system will always approach Datang.

Da Qinmao was a wise monarch. Since the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Da Qinmao immediately moved the capital from Zhongjing Xiande Mansion (now Jilin Helong) to Shangjing Longquan Mansion (now Heilongjiang Ning'an).

The reason why the capital was moved was that Da Qinmao knew the nature of the three armies in Beizhen.

An Lushan started his career by relying on military exploits, and most of his military exploits were made in the Northeast.

Relying on the support of the Tang court, the three towns in Hedong continued to attack the Hu people in the north.

Although the Bohai Kingdom is still some distance away from the territory of Anlu Mountain, since the puppet Yan raised its troops, it has been catching students in the northeast and sending them to the front line.

The so-called Shengfan refers to the backward tribes who have not left the mountains and forests.

Sheng Xianbei, Sheng Weishi, and Sheng Mohe can all be taken to the front line as raw.

Before An Lushan raised his troops, he also sent envoys to the Bohai Kingdom to ask the Bohai Kingdom to send troops together.

Da Qinmao, king of Bohai, escaped the envoy of Anlu Mountain by complaining about his illness, but Zhongjing in Bohai Kingdom was still too close to the three towns, so Da Qinmao immediately moved the capital to Longquan Mansion in Shangjing.

Zhongjing Xianfu is the capital that Da Qinmao has been building since he succeeded to the throne. Da Qinmao feels distressed about the relocation of the capital, but he also knows that Anlu Mountain has been beating the northern tribes for many years, and it can stop children from crying in the northeast.

Datang is something that the Bohai County cannot offend, neither of these two sides can be offended by the Bohai County.

Since they can't afford to offend them, they should hide in the north, anyway, they are not afraid of the cold.

What made Qinmao, Duke of Bohai County depressed, was that Datang sold fewer and fewer commodities.

The Bohai State is good at building large ships for coastal navigation. Among the highest institutions of the Bohai State, the six ministers of the Central Information Department are the most valuable.

The Ministry of Information, like the Ministry of Industry in Datang, is the department in charge of construction.

The craftsmen of Balhae County can build huge ships to sail along the coastline.

These ships came to the Shandong Peninsula and even went deep into the south of the Yangtze River for trading, and then went north along the coastline to Silla or bypassed Silla and went directly to Japan.

But now the Shandong Peninsula is still in war, and all the tax revenue in the south of the Yangtze River has been sent to the water transport ship. With the help of the Jianghuai transshipment envoy, Fifth Qi, the judge of the Yantie Academy, the blood transfusion is given to Fengxiang Mansion and the front-line troops.

In this case, the goods that Bohai State can buy will naturally be greatly reduced.

Without Datang's goods, the trade of Bohai State would not be possible, and several important ports quickly deserted after the capital was moved.

This also caused Da Qinmao a great headache, since trade is the lifeblood of Bohai State.

Da Qinmao carefully established a trade system, purchasing luxury silk lacquerware jewelry from Datang, and transporting them to Japan in exchange for Japanese gold and grain.

Then use Japanese gold to buy ginseng, Dongzhu, mink and grain in Silla, and fill the goods and send them to the wharf of Datang for sale.

However, the largest trade in Bohai State is grain.

You must know that in Jiangnan Road during the Tianbao period of Kaiyuan, because the price of silk has been rising all the way, the Jiangnan Road area, which was originally a major grain producing area, actually had to import grain from Bohai.

A large number of people replanted farmland into mulberry fields, spun silk at home and sent it to the market to buy rations in exchange for other daily necessities.

In the Tang Dynasty, both silk and silk could be directly used as currency, and Jiangnan Road in the prosperous age was the mint of the empire. A large amount of silk was manufactured and absorbed by the prosperous trade. The whole society began to advocate luxury. .

Jiangnan Road has changed from a major grain producing area to a grain importing area.This is also the prosperous maritime trade of the Tang Dynasty, which enabled the people in the south of the Yangtze River to buy food at low prices.

However, although Jianghuai has not encountered any military disasters, there are still a lot of conscription and corvee.

Fifth Qi took up the post of Jianghuai Transshipment Envoy. After establishing a salt courtyard to monopolize the salt industry, the cost of living of the people further increased.

Now many mulberry fields have been converted into farmland again. In such troubled times, food is more secure than silk.

What worries Da Qinmao is that the foundation of the entire Bohai State has been impacted.

If there is no triangular trade, how can Bohai state develop?

At this time, the servant reported to Da Qinmao:

"My lord, the envoy of King Jianning of the Tang Dynasty is asking to see me."

King Jianning?
Da Qinmao was very concerned about the situation in Tang Dynasty, but all of a sudden he didn't think of who King Jianning was?

After being in a trance for a while, Da Qinmao finally remembered that King Jianning is the second son of the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty who sits in Longyou.

The envoy of King Jianning?
King Jianning is the governor of Longyou, and Da Qinmao is the lord of Bohai County.

Longyou and Bohai, one is the western frontier of the empire, and the other is the eastern frontier of the empire. It can be said that they are completely irrelevant.

But after all, King Jianning is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, so it is not easy for Daqinmao to put on airs.

The travel-worn Fang Guoshou put on the official robes of the Tang Dynasty. Since entering the Northeast at the beginning of the month, Fang Guoshou and his party have been rushing towards the capital of Bohai without stopping.

They went to the Songmo Protectorate Mansion along the way, but found that the Eight Khitans had already fled, and the plan to contact the Khitans to attack Anlu Mountain was useless.

Along the way, China Life even felt the strength of the three northern towns.

The rear of the Pseudo-Yan has become so empty, and these northern barbarians are still terrified.

Like the Khitan Eight Divisions of the Songmo Protectorate, after being raided several times by the puppet Yan, they ran all the way back to Xing'an Mountains in fright.

There are countless tribes fleeing north along the way, which made Duan Wenchang feel emotional for a while.

"As expected of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

Fang Guoshou said indifferently: "In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Dongdong Town often rebelled and was often attacked by the court, but it was still able to firmly suppress the Hu people in the north."

"The Tang Dynasty is indeed prosperous in martial arts."

Fortunately, with the electronic map in the game, Fang Guoshou and his party finally stepped into the border of Bohai Kingdom after ten days of trekking.

After revealing his identity, Fang Guoshou still galloped all the way, and finally arrived at Longquan Mansion in Shangjing.

Da Qinmao respected the envoy of King Jianning very much. He changed into the costume of the county king rewarded by the Tang Dynasty, and then personally received Fang Guoshou and his party in the "Black Water Hall".

The Bohai Kingdom established five capitals and built palaces according to the theory of the five elements.

Longquan Mansion in Shangjing belongs to the water industry, and Heishuitang is a small palace near the Tumen River.

The main building of the entire Heishuitang, the Tribute Hall, is a main hall with wooden floors.

The entire hall is a Tang-style building, with six columns supporting the dome.

Large oil lamps made of whale fat brightly illuminate the tribute hall.

After Fang Guoshou expressed his respect to the Prince of Bohai with impeccable etiquette, he ordered his subordinates to bring up two large boxes.

Da Qinmao looked at the two big boxes suspiciously.

Fang Guoshou opened the box, and Da Qinmao immediately stood up from the throne.

I only saw a box full of exquisite jewelry, all kinds of gems and spices, which are the best-selling goods of this era.

And the other box was full of colorful cloth, although it was not as shiny as silk, but the color was so bright that Da Qinmao had never seen it before.

Fang Guoshou then took out an exquisite gold-plated Buddha statue from another small box.

Now Da Qinmao couldn't look away.

The Bohai Kingdom worships Buddha, and Da Qinmao is also a devout believer.

This Buddha statue is lifelike, and its expressions and movements are exquisite.

The face of the Buddha with benevolent eyebrows is like a real Buddha, and the dharma robe on his body seems to be fluttering.

What made Daqinmao unable to move his eyes even more was the precious stones inlaid on the twelfth-grade lotus platform under the Buddha statue!
Every gemstone is crystal clear, and the gorgeous pattern wrapped in the flawless gemstone is extremely bright, and the transparent gemstone in the middle is actually sealed with a perfect swastika.

This Buddha statue was also a gift carefully prepared by Fang Guoshou, and it came from a player who was a master of arts and crafts in reality.

But Fang Guoshou was very speechless when this player insisted on inlaying glass beads on the lotus platform.

But seeing Da Qinmao's expression, he knew the gift was right.

However, Da Qinmao has also been in charge of state affairs for 20 years. After he was temporarily fascinated by the Buddha statue, he quickly regained his composure. He asked:

"What is the purpose of the envoy coming from afar?"

Bohai, a country founded on trade, naturally knows that there is no free lunch in the world.

The envoy from Longyou, who can't be beaten by eight poles, must have a big intention to send such a "precious" gift when he came up.

Fang Guoshou said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Jianning sent me here to do business with King Bohai."

"Business?"

Fang Guoshou said: "Longyou needs grain now, so I want to buy grain from Bohai State."

"Purchasing grain? Longyou and Bohai Sea are thousands of miles away, how will the purchased grain be transported back?"

If it weren't for Fang Guoshou's Guanfang seal, Da Qinmao would have suspected that he was a fake messenger.

Isn't Longyou out of his mind to buy grain from Bohai?
I only heard Fang Guoshou say: "Your Majesty, the envoy wants to talk to you about this land trade route."
