Chinese dining table

Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian took only a thousand guards to Yingzhou.

The reason why they were going to Yingzhou was that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's plan to rescue Silla from the Wa State had failed.

The king of the Wa Kingdom refused to stand out, and sent a silk letter with humble words, claiming that the country was poor, and encountered such a catastrophe as the earth dragon turned over. Thousands of houses in Fujiwara Kyoto collapsed, and more than two thousand people were killed or injured. Because the earth dragon turned over, the mountains collapsed, the rivers were blocked, and the seedlings in the fields were scorched.

Now, the whole country of Wa is working together to fight against the disaster, and there is really no extra force to attack Baekje. Please forgive me, the king of the country.

In addition, because of the serious damage to Fujiwara-kyo, the king of Wa Kingdom planned to build Heijo-kyo, hoping to build a new capital city—Pingcheng-kyo with Chang'an and Luoyang as the blueprint, so that Wa country could have a look at the style of Shangguo.

At the same time, the envoys also came with 26 master architects from the Wa country, hoping to directly enter the prefectures and counties of the capital of Shangguo to learn how to manage the capital and build a new capital.

The Japanese envoys came here this time and brought very good silver and pearls, as well as a branch of red coral as high as one foot. They were very polite and thoughtful. It can be said that they did everything except sending troops to attack Baekje. It's very good.

There is no way around this. At this time, Silla is about to be beaten to death by the combined army of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Mohe.

In less than a year, more than [-] cities in the northern border have been captured. In the letter of appeal, it is stated that if the Tang Dynasty refuses to send troops to Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty will lose a loyal vassal state forever.

Changsun Wuji believed that it was good for Datang to lose this loyal vassal state. When the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Mohe all gathered on the narrow land of Silla and fought hard, the Datang army would dispatch again. The army raided Goguryeo, broke through the Yalu River, and blocked all the capable soldiers of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Mohe on the peninsula.

Tease them to kill each other like raising Gu, and when the exhaustion of killing each other is exhausted, then bring the Wa Kingdom in and continue to fight in this pot of raising Gu.

If the military strategy is properly arranged and the paperwork is properly handled, then within 20 years, the scourge over there can be completely eliminated.

Yun Chu also thought this idea was really good, but unfortunately, Li Zhi didn't listen, he felt that his face was more important, and he didn't have the patience to wait another 20 years.

Today, the Tang Dynasty is still preparing for the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. In any case, it is necessary to learn the lessons of Emperor Taizong who froze to death and frostbitten countless soldiers during the Eastern Expedition.

After waiting for this year's cotton harvest, the soldiers will be equipped with warm enough winter clothes before the Datang army will go to Liaodong to fight.

The main purpose of Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and the others to go to Liaodong was to join forces with Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of the prefecture, to send [-] troops to pretend to attack Goguryeo. It is best to achieve some results so that the Goguryeo people dare not attack Silla with all their strength.

By the way, let's block the tear ducts of the Silla envoy. To be honest, even Li Zhi can't stand the tearful performance of the Silla envoy in the hall.

The next day, Yunchu arrived at the public house, and Master Wu, who had just been appointed as the new Wannian County Master Registry from Hucao, hurried over.

Yun Chu, who was tending the small stove and was about to get some cans of tea, said strangely: "Aren't you training in Honglu Temple? Why are you back?"

Master Wu took the pine cones and other miscellaneous things from Yunchu's hand, and while skillfully lighting the stove, he said, "Yes, the lower officials originally had to train for six days, but, early this morning, the Honglu Temple's Wei Shaoqing called the officials over, saying that he had official duties to explain.

It was only after I was dismissed that I found out that Wei Shaoqing had sent two Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty in Wannian County. No, these people were not envoys to the Tang Dynasty, they had a new name called Guanfeng Envoys.

He said he came here to observe our Wannian County. After returning, he could rebuild a capital called Pingchengjing according to our county.

No, the officer led them here. "

Yun Chu chuckled and said, "Wind Watcher, such an envoy should not be sent to Wannian County. This year, the wind is less windy, and the windmills in Jinchangfang don't turn very much. They should be sent to Qinling, where the wind is strong."

Master Wu accompanied him with a smile and said: "It's just a Japanese, it's not a big deal at first, this time it's different, His Majesty heard that these Japanese people came to learn Chang'an's building methods, so he specially gave it to Honglu Temple The decree is to treat this matter well, and strive to let these Japanese people learn, learn well, and build a Chang'an city on the border of the Japanese country.

The officials always feel that His Majesty's doing this is because he really hopes that the country of Wa can be built well. In this way, after my soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty enter the country of Wa, there will be a familiar place of residence. If this is the case, the county magistrate should take it seriously. "

Yun Chu nodded and said, "If Your Majesty really thinks this way, then you have to take it seriously. By the way, what is that person's name?"

"Shi, Amei, Zi, Alido Beihu, name, Abei Chicken Rice."

Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "What should I call this Wind Watcher?"

Master Wu first blew air to make the pine cones burn, and then said to Yunchu: "This man speaks Tang dialect very well, and he calls himself Abei."

Hearing the surname of Abe, Yunchu naturally thought of Abe Nakamaro. There is no way, the reason why this Japanese name is remembered so firmly is entirely because of the history test.

Yun Chu smiled, and seeing that the water was already seated, he invited Master Wu to sit down and have morning tea together.

As for Abe who was waiting outside, just let him wait.

Master Wu, who has changed from a clerk to an official, is very talkative, mainly because Yunchu gave him the courtesy of the master, and he is no longer the former Wu Hucao who was scolded by others.

One deliberately flatters and the other deliberately wins over, the tea is naturally very pleasant to drink.

When that Abe came in, Yunchu was a little surprised. When he was studying in the Imperial College, it was not that he had never seen the Japanese envoy sent to Tang Dynasty, and even personally tested the muscle density and fighting ability of the Japanese man with his fist.

It can only be said that it is very weak.

The Wa countryman in front of him was very different from the dark and short Wa country people Yun Chu had come into contact with in the past.

This guy is not tall, but he definitely can't be considered short, and he doesn't have the strange hairstyle of Japanese people on his head, not to mention neat, and he is wearing a gray Lan shirt with a black round collar.

There is a horizontal wave at the knee of the Lanshan shirt, which divides the body into two parts. Tang people don't wear Lanshan shirts very much, but the Wa people seem to like it very much. This may be related to their preference for kneeling most of the time.

In Datang, sitting on knees is obviously not popular anymore. The tables, chairs, stools, and bamboo tables and chairs in Jinchangfang have become very popular in Chang’an. With these things, people hug each other when they meet, Then he lifted up his robe and sat on the chair or stool, looking extraordinarily chic and casual.

"I've seen the county magistrate." Abe's voice was exactly as Mr. Wu said, very nice, even a little magnetic, without the slightest awkward Japanese accent.

Yun Chu cast his eyes on Abei's face and said, "Where do you want to learn from, and where do you look?"

Seeing that Yunchu was not very enthusiastic, Abei clasped his hands again and said, "Wo Kingdom is an uncivilized land. I came to Datang this time, and I wanted to learn from the beginning of architecture."

Hearing what Abei said, Yunchu called the new Yanghu Cao over and said to him: "Arrange this wind watcher to go to the brick kiln in Qujiangfang to watch the wind, don't treat him with special care just because he is a wind watcher.

It doesn't matter if you're a bit embarrassed now, it's a shame that you didn't learn anything when you returned to Japan.

Let him do all the work on the brick kiln for a period of three months. After the three-month period expires, he will be sent to the construction site of Guangfufang or Anyefang to learn how to build a house. "

Abei was stunned for a moment when he heard Yunchu's arrangement, and immediately said: "Reporting to the county magistrate, there is also a brick-making workshop in Japan, so you don't need to learn how to make bricks?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "To learn, you must have a modest and prudent heart. Even if you have a brick-making workshop in Japan, if you learn it again, I think it will be of great benefit, so it's settled."

Abei still wanted to talk, but he was dragged away by the impatient Yang Hucao, and the county magistrate even spoke, why does this person talk so much nonsense.

The meaning of the county magistrate is already obvious. A Japanese man came up to the brick kiln, so the cattle and horses on the brick kiln can take turns to rest.

This is not because Yunchu is deliberately embarrassing the Wa people, but the consistent attitude of the Tang people towards the Wa people.

The coming of all nations to court is a way for Datang to maintain its own glory, and paying tribute is a system to maintain the hegemony of Datang.

However, this does not mean that Datang can take care of these Japanese people in every possible way. Just like many insightful people in the Tang Dynasty said, keeping the surrounding countries and tribes in a certain ignorance is not good for Datang. It is beneficial to say.

Tubo is a living example. A tribe that used to live like a savage, after dealing with the Tang people for a long time, unexpectedly learned to form a tribal alliance.

After learning the tribal alliance, he didn't stop, and now, a very primitive royal court appeared.

The most unacceptable thing for Tang people is that these people used to raise sheep, cattle, horses, eat some wild vegetables, and hunt some prey to survive. Now they have not only learned how to farm, but also learned to make armor, and even use Datang to accompany them. The craftsmen inside the dowry built the magnificent Jokhang Temple.

Nowadays, he is facing Datang directly with a strong attitude.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty regretted this unceasingly, so they were not as enthusiastic as before when they treated the envoys sent by various countries to the Tang Dynasty. After all, in the current Datang, it is no longer so rare for the big scene of all nations to come to the DPRK.

Li Zhi has seen the scene of envoys from all nations bowing down many times, and he has long since lost the good feeling of being king on such occasions.
