Datang first village

Li Yuanxing said something, and Cui Dunli couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, I think that only by strictly adhering to the rules of the Royal Academy of Tang Dynasty, everything should not be privileged. Naturally, there will be no accidents, but I just don't understand? Your Highness still sent people to find special people from the people of Wa Island to come back to study , what defense is there for the envoys to let them learn?"

"The ones sent by the officials must be extremely loyal people. This king will not bother that god."

"Your Highness is wise!" Cui Dunli's words were nonsense, and both he and Li Yuanxing knew it.Even if Li Yuanxing only wanted to please himself, Cui Dunli would not object to such a trivial matter.

Li Yuanxing stood up with a smile: "I will give you a test question. In winter, you can wear as much as you can; in summer, you can wear as much as you can!"

After Cui Dunli read it aloud, a person like him who has read a lot of poetry and books immediately understood the interest in it.He also followed Li Yuanxing and laughed.

"Take care of them first, and wait for the news from Wa Island to come back."

"Yes, my subordinates will leave!"

**, the people on Wa Island dare not in Chang'an, the Gaochang envoys who robbed the people of a cart of food, together with the envoys, are still locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the notice at the gate of Yingbin Garden is still hanging.

When the Washima missions settled in, this notice scared them into a cold sweat.

At least they hadn't heard of anyone who would put the entire embassy in prison.

The envoy of the Washima Mission, Oshima Kozo did not enter his room but went directly to the Baekje Mission he knew.

When asked about Gaochang, the Baekje envoy sneered: "They deserve to be imprisoned, thinking that the king of Gaochang tricked King Qin of the Tang Dynasty into BMW and pearls, and the Tang Dynasty would think highly of them. I don’t know if they are courting their own 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.

Kozo Oshima was already sweating profusely after hearing this!

It's winter now, and there is no heating in Yingbin Garden, but the few coal stoves provided keep the room from being too hot for sweating.

In a word, he was frightened.

Datang was much more ruthless than the former Sui Dynasty.

"In Chang'an, put away your aristocratic status. Here, only the nobles who are recognized by His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty are considered nobles. The rest are not as good as the commoners in Chang'an City!" The Baekje envoy gave the most sincere advice .

With a chill, Oshima Kozo was thinking about what the Baekje envoy had said to him.

When I returned to the residence, I saw an official from the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty standing at the door, and he was nothing more than an official from the fifth rank.Generally speaking, the reception envoys are at least at the level of a fourth-rank minister.

At least that was the case in the former Sui Dynasty.

Seeing the envoy of Wajima, the official threw the letter of state of Wajima to the envoy of Wajima. This sudden change made Oshima Kozo a little confused, but the official's next words did not leave any room for it: "Your country is very big. Momentum, if you want to go to war, go ahead, you can figure out what to do with this credential, a small barbaric island country dares to speak nonsense."

After finishing speaking, the officials from the Ministry of Rites flicked their sleeves vigorously, turned and left.

After leaving the door, the official from the Ministry of Rituals felt a little regretful, and muttered to himself, "It should be thrown in his face." While muttering in a low voice, he got into the carriage and ordered to go back to the Ministry of Rites immediately.

An envoy from an unknown country who was coming back from outside felt trembling when he heard this.

From the former Sui Dynasty to the Great Tang Wude, until the reign of Zhenguan.

But unknowingly, this envoy who had been in Chang'an for more than ten years felt the strength of Datang at this time.When did the officials of the Ministry of Rituals treat envoys so coldly?

Kozo Oshima, the envoy of Wajima, silently put away the letter of credence, and he was also thinking about what to do next.

His task is to establish normal diplomatic relations with Datang, and the more important task is to arrange for the people he brings to learn the advanced technology and knowledge of Datang.

People in the Central Plains have a good face. In the former Sui Dynasty, they called themselves the emperor of the country of sunrise, and also called the emperor of the Central Plains the emperor of the sunset. The emperor of the former Sui Dynasty was already angry. Now the Tang Dynasty seems to be more tough, and directly makes the situation worse. It has been raised to the height of declaring war, which has to be ignored by Kozo Oshima.

in the next few days.

Kozo Oshima traveled all over the various ministries of the Tang Dynasty, and the issue of credentials at the Ministry of Rites was temporarily suppressed, and he had already agreed to it when he was studying.This entrance examination seems to be reasonable, but the Datang Royal Academy has already started, and Washima students can only wait until May of the following year to take the preliminary examination, re-examination in July, and enter on the third day of August.

The matter of studying seems to be settled.

Kozo Oshima ran to the Ministry of Accounts again, and was told that the Ministry of Commerce was in charge of foreign businessmen.

After he ran to the Ministry of Commerce, he asked about the trade alliance.

Once again, Oshima Kosan was about to go to the Ministry of Rites to inquire, but the people below came to report: "Mr. Oshima, we have no food. The food provided for disembarkation has been eaten, but the officials here declare that there is no food in Chang'an City. All the food can only be purchased by yourself, I have asked other missions, and it is the same rule. And we have no money."

"No money?" Hikari Oshima was taken aback.

It's 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 it is just to control, not to eat.

When they came, they brought enough gifts, but the only thing they didn't bring was copper coins and silver.

Speaking of gold, I just brought some accessories.

Really in trouble.

"Oshima-kun, I've already inquired about it. Now there are three possible options for us."

"Speak out quickly!" Oshima Kozo has lost his due calm.

"The first way is to ask for help from the Tang Qin Palace. There are many small states here that don't have enough money to live in Chang'an, yet they receive funding from the Datang Qin Palace. Some of this funding comes at a price, but some don't. However, we have too many people, and this amount of funding may not be easy!"

"Tell me the second way!" Oshima Kozo urged.

"The second way is to sell part of the gifts we brought. In this way, some coins can be exchanged. Of course, this is not the final solution to the problem. It is still because we brought too many people."

Oshima Kozo understood that this was a mistake when they set off.I thought that Datang would be responsible for all expenses when I came to Datang, so I brought hundreds of people here.But now it seems that these people have become a huge burden, 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, messing around. Where is the face of my Yamato country!" Oshima Kozo was angry.

His subordinate was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly: "According to what we have inquired in the past few days, the Khitan people in the northern part of the Central Plains receive the most funding. They have more than 500 students who enroll for free, but only a dozen of them really Entered the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty. The rest of them are studying in the second-class academy because of their poor qualifications. After a year of assessment, they will be re-determined whether they are eligible for admission. Will the people we bring also undergo an internal assessment first? "

Oshima Kozo nodded, this is true and necessary.

The subordinate continued: "The Khitan people who study in the second-class college, everyone is working. Now it is known that the third prince of Khitan goes to Leminyuan every day to work as a helper in the account house, and is responsible for sorting out the small accounts of daily income. Khitan The Seventh Princess is helping out at the Datang Hongwen Museum, doing the job of storing books in the library!"

"This..." Oshima Kozo was a little surprised.

After thinking about it: "Go and pick out some items that can be exchanged for a large amount of coins in Chang'an to resell, and then inquire about the work in detail. I will apply to meet His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty and prepare gifts!"

"Yes!"

Kozo Oshima wants to see King Qin, but is King Qin so easy to meet?

Not to mention the King of Qin, Cui Changshi in the Palace of the King of Qin had no chance to see him after waiting for five days. The invitations to the Palace of the King of Qin were all piled up into a hill, and four small officials were specially responsible for sorting out these posts. , and then wait for the senior stewards of Qin Palace to select again, and then send it to Chang Shi, and then arrange the time.

Those who want to meet His Highness King Qin directly, without special permission, will be excluded after three months.

While waiting anxiously, Oshima Kosan did not wait for the response from Prince Qin's Mansion, but instead saw a group of men wearing gorgeous clothes but still wearing their Japanese hairstyles from the streets of Chang'an City. Passed by his carriage.

"Stop!" Oshima Kosan ordered the driver to stop, but when he went back, he saw those people entering the Tiance Admiral's Mansion in Chang'an City, and a steward actually opened the door on the far right side of the main entrance. Door.

There are nine gates at the main entrance of Tiance Admiral's Mansion in Chang'an City, Tang Dynasty.

The door in the middle has never been opened except for the Emperor Tang himself.Usually, the two doors on the left and right are always open, and the people who can enter and exit are at least officials of the fourth rank or above.The green second door further outside is used for the entry and exit of female guests with status, and then the fourth door for officials of the fifth rank to enter and exit.

There are two trails on the outermost side, and the left side is for merchants who have the permission of Admiral Tiance's Mansion to enter and exit.

The right side is used for civilians to enter and exit.

Those with a lower status, such as those who just come to deliver goods to General Tiance's mansion, or do other business, go through the corner door next to them.

Standing at the door, Oshima Hikari froze for a while.

These people are not the ones he brought, because these people are wearing silk, which is not an expensive clothing material that his subordinates can afford, and he is very familiar with the few people who can afford it.Who are these people?Is it a businessman from the country, or a subordinate of other princes on the island?

The Yamato Kingdom only occupies the southwest of Honshu Island, which is more than one-third of the entire Honshu Island.

Shikoku, Kyushu, and some small countries have not yet been unified.

Who are these people?Oshima Kozo felt more and more uneasy in his heart. (To be continued.)
