Datang first village

After returning to Wa Island, Wang Ba immediately boarded the ship after arranging the defense plans of the cities, and went to the inland sea of ​​Wa Island by taking Sanjiang. .

Among the heroes of the aristocratic family who traveled with Wang Ba this time, in addition to Cui Jie from the Cui family, and Wang Xuance from the Wang family.

This Wang Xuance is not an ordinary person. Originally, he had already obtained the official position of a county magistrate, but he gave up and gave this opportunity to a younger brother of the same clan. Then he went to Nanyang, and this time he came back to help Wang Ba Come to attack Wajima.

It is said that he is not ordinary, because this person has created a miracle in history.

It is said that one person destroys a country.

When he was on behalf of the Tang Dynasty as an envoy to Tianzhu, Tianzhu was in chaos during the Warring States Period, and he wiped out a small country by borrowing [-] cavalry.If he followed the practice of later generations of Europe, he could turn that small country into a colony, and he would receive a greater reward. Unfortunately, under the different values ​​​​of Eastern and Western civilizations in history, he just finished fighting and returned the borrowed soldiers. Waved back to Datang.

In Datang, as an ordinary official, he disappeared in the long river of history.

At this time, Japan's political system is a bit like the Han Dynasty in China. It is still a country composed of imperial power plus royal power, plus local powerful forces.

Yamato has a population of about 300 million people, and the remaining small clans have about 100 million people.

Wajima, with 400 million people, can't get 30 laborers?

There was only one thought in Wang Ba's mind, His Royal Highness King Qin's order, even if all the Japanese were killed, the 30 laborers would be enough.

Following his two juniors, Cui Jie's thoughts became a little more complicated. He wanted to take this opportunity to show his talents. The word colonization first appeared in the above list given by Princess Mingyue to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

In the era of great colonialism, only great wisdom can create great achievements.

Wang Xuance had no extra thoughts, he was thinking about how to kill those Japanese.

After one day and one night, the boat sailed to the Ota River, which is the future Hiroshima.

After revealing his identity, he heard that he was an official and businessman from Datang. The Datian clan sent [-] elite soldiers and [-] singers lined up outside Datian City to welcome them.

Wang Ba only brought one hundred guards, plus 20 scribes.

"It's an honor for the Ota family to be visited by nobles from Shangguo!" Kazuo Ota greeted him.

On behalf of the three of them, Wang Xuance spoke in Japanese: "We are from the Great Tang Dynasty. This general of my Wang family has received the seal of the third grade, has a fief of six hundred miles, and has [-] elite men. I am the direct descendant of the Wang family. Zhengqipinyin. This is the second-eldest son of the Cui family of Qinghe. Although he has no official position, but as the heir of the Cui family of Qinghe, he has profound knowledge. Make good friends with the Datian clan!"

There is no tone of modesty, only a display of one's own identity.

This is not the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese don't know what modesty is, they believe in strength more.

Hearing that these three people were so powerful, Ota Kazuo hurriedly gave a salute according to Han etiquette, and said, "It's only the honored guests of the Tang Dynasty, but it's not that the three of them are the honored guests among the honored guests!"

The Wang family and the Cui family are the first-class clans in the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, there is a third-rank general with a fief of eight hundred miles. I am afraid that this time he will be at least the Earl of Datang.

Entering the main hall, the guests and the host sit down.

"Come, this general's gift!" Wang Ba spoke Chinese, with a cold and majestic voice.

With Wang Ba's current status, even if he saw Prince Shotoku, who is currently in power in the Wa country, he would not give a big gift, at most he would be equal.

Eight hundred pieces of cloud brocade, eight hundred Tang horizontal knives, eight hundred fine steel spear points, eight hundred taels of high-quality green tea, and eight hundred velvet cloths.

How much is this gift worth?

Ota Kazuo was stunned when he saw it. He didn’t have 8000 catties of gold in total, so he didn’t even dare to think about it. These are all the top goods in the Tang Dynasty. The [-] pieces of Yunjin alone would cost at least [-] taels of gold.But looking at this brocade again, it is more gorgeous than the ones on the market in Wadao.

At this moment, Cui Jie unbuttoned his backpack, took out a long box, put it in front of him and slowly pushed it forward.

"I've heard of it, Qin Wang Bairen!" Wang Ba asked loudly.

After Wang Xuance's translation, Da Tian Kazuo nodded vigorously: "It is rumored that the sword of King Qin's personal guards is one of the hundred blades. In the battle of the Koguryo King City, one person cut off five thousand heads. The sword is broken! His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty once again rewarded God It is a pity that such a famous sword is only in the legend."

"That kid's sword name is Duanlang! His Highness bestowed Yanyue on a certain hand!"

The box was opened, and it was a knife without any decoration, a very ordinary bamboo scabbard, and the handle was wrapped with silk thread.

Wang Xuance said at this time: "This one is called Fallen Leaf. It is a defective knife with a hundred blades. Please place a steel pillar in the hall to test the blade!" Let's look for the steel pillar, the Japanese don't even have fine steel , so dozens of logs were placed, with a diameter of one foot.

Wang Ba just sat there, didn't even stand up, just drew, swung, and retracted the saber.

There is no knife in sight, only the shadow of the knife.

All the logs were cut in half!

"Be careful!" Wang Xuance pushed the knife box over.

"Thank you, such a generous gift, my Ota family is very grateful!" Ota Kazuo knelt there and bowed heavily.

Are these gifts for nothing?Ota Kazuo didn't believe it, but he couldn't guess what these Tang people wanted, but the gift represented sincerity, so at least he had to listen.

Wang Ba nodded to Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance said: "City Master Datian, do you know what happened to the Jinwei family and the Yiyi family in the past few years?"

Ota Kazuo was slightly taken aback when he heard about these two families, but he still answered truthfully: "The Yiyi family was originally a servant of the Izumo family, but they became the lord of the Izumo city overnight. The Konoe family has no origin at all. It's as if it appeared out of nowhere, I don't know why the distinguished guests know about these two families."

"One patriarchal man and one Hui came to Datang with the merchant ship."

As soon as Wang Xuance opened his mouth, Ota Kazuo signaled that the irrelevant people in the hall could step down, and the ones left behind were all he trusted.

"In Chang'an City, Yiyihui met a small official of Qin Wangfu, and got the opportunity to study in Chang'an. Later, Yiyihui found some information in the historical archives. He proved that he was the descendant of the Ying family of the Great Qin Empire hundreds of years ago. People, and then received some rewards and support from His Royal Highness Qin Wang, and after returning to Wa Island, this made the family rise!"

After hearing these words, Ota Kazuo nodded seriously.

From His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is a little reward, a little support is not difficult to come back and prosper a family.

Even if it is fighting for the hegemony of Wajima, Ota Kazuo has no doubts.

"Jinwei Zhongren has no name and no surname at all. He is just a rough man with some strength. I met His Royal Highness Qin Wang's Jinwei Wu Bin!"

"Wu Bin!" Ota Kazuo exclaimed.

He may not have heard of other names, but Wu Bin is a big celebrity, and it is rumored that one person beheaded five thousand heads.

Wang Xuance smiled and continued: "Jinwei Zhongren learned swords from Wu Bin and achieved success. During the Battle of Pyongyang, he fought as Wu Bin's sword servant, beheaded seventeen heads, and obtained the status of a captain of the Tang Dynasty."

Needless to say the next words, the rise of the Jinwei family is not surprising at all.

Ota Kazuo was silent, because he didn't know how to answer the conversation next.

"In Hebei Road and Hedong Road. Our Wang family and Cui family have taken over the business of building roads for three thousand miles. We hope to get the support of the Datian family. With such help, we can trade with any commodity that your Datian family needs. .Including Datang's siege artillery."

Why?Ota Kazuo was a little confused, what is there to argue about this road construction.

"This road is a thousand miles a day. It takes less than four hours from Chang'an to Luoyang City, and each car can carry 150 million catties. Whether it is pulling goods or people, it is so important. The railway from Chang'an to Luoyang , Wu Bin and the Yuchi family are close friends, and with the support of 20 strong laborers from the Jinwei family, they completed the road from Chang'an to Luoyang in one year."

It is a lie that Ota Kazuo is not tempted.

As for the Ijo family and the Konoe family, in the eyes of Ota Kazuo and many Wajima city lords, they are rebels.But what is more in their eyes is not hatred, but envy.The reason why the Yiyi family dared to challenge the royal family of the Great He Kingdom was that they were descendants of the Ying family of the Great Qin Empire, while the royal family of the Great He Kingdom was only the descendants of Xu Fu of the Great Qin Empire.

The Ying family from the Central Plains is more noble than the Xu family no matter how you compare them.

Rebels, according to this development, the Yiyi clan can be crowned king in Washima.

"However, the total population of the territory controlled by my Datian family is more than 30 people. Even if they all go to Datang, it will not be enough, because many of them are old and weak!"

Hearing this, Wang Ba knew that their goal had been achieved.

"You can find it from other places. If one person works for a month, we will give you a shi of refined grain. Or you can pay directly with rice, and each person will get a shi of rice for a month of work. And in Datang's food, housing, clothing, We will pay for everything, absolutely nothing."

A stone of rice!

What is the price of five taels of gold in Wajima?How can Ota Kazuo not be tempted, and he can earn the difference in the price. It would be good to give those low-level tenant farmers five hundred catties of miscellaneous grains a month, and he and the rest of the city will naturally share the excess. 30 shi rice per month.

This huge number even exceeded the income of his territory by several times.

It is absolutely impossible for a small town on Wajima to have a rice income of more than 360 million shi a year.

"I am from the Datian family, and I am very willing to cooperate with distinguished guests. We will have a banquet tonight, and we will discuss the details tomorrow!"

The Ota family was very happy. In order to show their sincerity, Ota Kazuo picked out 5000 people from his own territory that day, including [-] men and [-] women.These are only a kind of return gift, not counting the monthly food.

Naturally, Wang Ba's subordinates arranged for people to board the boat first.

That night, a grand banquet was held in Datian City, only honored guests from Datang were entertained. (To be continued.)
