Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 264 Suga Saburo
Whether it is Baekje, Silla, or Goguryeo, which lost all the face of the Sui Dynasty, there is no completed text of its own, let alone the country of Wa.

The official characters of these countries around the Tang Dynasty can basically be equivalent to Chinese characters.

Domestic nobles are also proud of being able to speak Chinese.

Japan is no exception.

Su Wo Saburo, as the cousin of Su Wo Rulu, the power minister of the Japanese kingdom, is naturally proficient in Chinese.

So when Qin Xiedao heard the familiar language coming out of the mouth of a Japanese, they were quite surprised.

"Several lords have come from afar, but are they envoys from the Heavenly Kingdom?"

In Suga Saburo's view, only the legendary Shangguo in the Central Plains could have such a tall ship.

And judging from the clothing and other aspects, he also felt that people like Qin Xiedao must have come from the legendary Tang Dynasty.

There are still very few exchanges between Wa Kingdom and Datang, and the first batch of envoys sent to Tang has not yet officially set off.

However, they have some exchanges with Baekje, so they also know something about the fact that the Central Plains Dynasty has now become the Tang Dynasty.

But it's really just understanding, and the specific situation is basically unknown.

"We did come from the Tang Dynasty, but we didn't come here in place of the imperial court."

When Qin Xiedao came to the Wa country, he naturally wanted to deal with the people of the Wa country, or who would he sell the things to?

Now there are those who take the initiative to deliver to your door, let's communicate first and see.

Under such circumstances, those who dare to take the initiative to step forward are either wealthy local businessmen or nobles.

No matter which one it is, they are all potential customers of Qin Xiedao.

Although he doesn't like the Wa people, Qin Xiedao likes the gold and silver in the hands of the Wa people.

"I'm Soga Saburo. In Nambatsu, no matter what happens, I can be responsible for communication. Sir, you have come from a long way, so why not let me do the best for the host and guest first."

In front of Qin Xiedao and his party, Su Wo Saburo completely lost his former arrogance.

If Fujiwara Taro was standing next to him, he would definitely wonder if the Soga Saburo he knew before is the same person.

"Who are you, Suga Ezo?"

In Japan, ordinary people do not have a surname now.

It wasn't until the Meiji Restoration that the Japanese court felt that the people had no surnames, which was not conducive to household registration management, so they forcibly asked everyone to give themselves a surname.

At this time, all kinds of strange surnames came into being.

Those who live on the mountain have the surname Shanshang.

Those who live at the foot of the mountain have the surname Shanxia.

Those who live near the ferry are named Watanabe.

Those who live in the middle of the village may have the surname Zhongcun.

Anyway, all kinds of weird surnames are very common in Japan.

Ordinary people are also embarrassed to tell you the glorious story of their surname.

Unlike the Celestial Dynasty, behind any hundred surnames, there are many celebrities.

Behind the surnames of Japanese people, there are more embarrassing things, so few will introduce them properly.

Of course, noble surnames are naturally an exception.

In the early Tang Dynasty, anyone who heard a Japanese with a surname was definitely not an ordinary person.

Qin Xiedao may not be very familiar with the other surnames, but it is impossible for me not to know the surname Su.

This is a character that has appeared in history books.

Today's Suwo Ezo is comparable to Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty.

"Minister Su is my uncle, sir, have you heard of my uncle's name?"

Su Wo Saburo was overjoyed, if everyone had some interaction, things would be much easier to handle.

Although his uncle Su Worulu was a minister of the Wa Kingdom (the unique official title of the Wa Kingdom), he was equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Wa Kingdom.

But in front of the Heavenly Kingdom, Su Wo Saburo didn't feel that there was anything to be proud of.

No way, in this era, not only Tang people are super confident, but they look down on foreign countries at all.

The personnel of the various foreign countries are also extremely inferior, and they dare not compare themselves with Datang at all.

It doesn't look like a later life, it was completely upside down at one time.

It was only when Qin Xiedao crossed over that the situation improved.

"Su Wo's ministers have power over the government and the public. In the entire Wa Kingdom, there are probably not many people who don't know about it?"

Qin Xiedao did not answer Su Wo Saburo's question.

However, after figuring out the identity of this Su Wo Saburo, he immediately had some thoughts in his mind.

Qin Xiedao doesn't care what happened to Su's family to harm the Japanese country.

It would be even better if he could destroy the so-called emperor of Wa country.

Let a few more kings emerge from various parts of the Wa Kingdom. According to the geographical environment where they are full of islands, it is estimated that if Qin Xiedao sows dissension among them, the Wa Kingdom will completely fall apart.

A split Wa country, in the long run, is in the interests of Datang.

Of course, this matter is not in a hurry.

Anyway, the current Wa country is not completely unified in fact.

The vassal states in various places are completely independent kingdoms. The orders from Nara can be heard as much as they want, and basically they don’t have to listen to them if they don’t want to.

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high, and my uncle is only dedicated to serving the country."

Saburo Suga, who is proficient in Sinology, naturally heard the words "power is in the hands of the government and the public", which is actually not a good word.

But he can't do anything.

"You speak Chinese well, who did you learn from? Could it be that the court officials of the Wa Kingdom speak Chinese so well?"

At this time, the writing of the Japanese country is completely Chinese characters, without the slightest difference.

Looking at the words on the cover all around, if someone who doesn't know the situation, thinks which pier in Datang it is now.

"My uncle once studied under an eminent monk from the Central Plains, so our entire Suwo family is good at Sinology.

In Nara, apart from my uncle’s master, there are also some other eminent monks from the Central Plains who are teaching Sinology to everyone, so all officials with a certain status in the court can speak Chinese well. "

Su Wo Saburo's words surprised Qin Xiedao.

He also thought that the Japanese people learned from the Central Plains, mainly because they arranged for the dispatch of Tang envoys,

Didn't realize it's been so long since now.

But it's normal to think about it.

The Japanese will arrange to send Tang envoys to Datang, obviously because they know some of the situation in Datang, otherwise, how could they travel thousands of miles and take great risks to arrange a large number of noble children to go to Datang?

It is precisely because the Japanese people have seen the power of the Central Plains Dynasty that they have worship in their hearts.

This country has not changed for thousands of years.

In essence, it is to believe in the strong.

When you are strong, you are a father and you can do anything.

If you become weak, then he wants to make you his son, revealing his brutal nature.

Now that Qin Xiedao has actually come to the Wa country, he naturally wants to exploit this strange country well.
