Looking at Li Tai, whose face was pale and sweating, Zhang Nan suddenly felt that he had a long way to go.

It is a huge project to turn this chubby Li Tai into a man, and it is even more difficult than establishing a Tiangong Department and a private club. However, what surprised Zhang Nan was that Li Tai seemed to be really interested in geography, and Li Tai's first reaction when he saw the hot spring was not to build a bathhouse to take a bubble bath, but to see where the source of this hot spring was.

Zhang Nan saw Li Tai's diligent and inquisitive appearance, so he exchanged a junior high school geography book from the system and handed it to Li Tai, although there are some things in the geography book that Li Tai has never heard of, but this does not affect Li Tai's reading.

Li Tairu, who got the geography book, got the treasure, didn't look at the hot springs, and didn't follow Zhang Nan up the mountain anymore, he wanted to go home quickly, and finally under Li Tai's repeated requests, Zhang Nan finally compromised and put Li Tai back, after all, Li Tai is still in the learning stage, and the book "Chronicles of the Ground" will not come out in more than ten years.

Zhang Nan circled a piece of land next to the hot spring, and asked the people of the Ministry of Industry to lay the foundation here, and by the way, he gave his own construction plan, in order to build this private club, Zhang Nan almost leveled a hill, and then the location of this private club was determined.

Next, Zhang Nan's daily work is to supervise Li Tai's fitness every day, and then go to the construction site as a supervisor, after the house is built, Zhang Nan began to engage in internal decoration again.

Zhang Nan is still too high to estimate the construction speed of ancient times, to put it in the modern era, like such a private club, not to mention much, two or three months will definitely be able to build a good one, but Datang is different, there are no cars, no tower cranes, all the work is done by manpower, which greatly slows down the progress of the project, and it has been half a year.

Just when the private club was about to be built, the things that should have come in history still came.

In 630 AD, Emperor Shumei finally sent the first envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and in the more than 260 years from 630 to 895, the Japanese imperial court in the Nara and Heian periods appointed a total of 19 envoys to the Tang Dynasty.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Japan was in a period of social change, that is, it constantly sent people to China to study, and each time it sent more than 100 people to the Tang Dynasty, sometimes as many as 500 people.

Many of China's legal systems, culture and arts, science and technology, and customs were introduced to Japan through them, and they had a significant impact on the development of Japanese society.

This is the inevitability of history, for Japan, that country is advanced, that country is strong, he will learn from that country, during the Tang Dynasty, China was strong, both politically and economically at the forefront of the world.

At this time, Japan sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to study China's legal system, culture and art, and science. Even the current Heijo Kyoto in Japan is also Kyoto, and today's Nara is also the left Beijing imitation of Chang'an, and the right Beijing imitation of Luoyang.

In modern times, on July 8, 1853, Commodore Perry led a fleet of U.S. Navy fleets into Uraga and Kanagawa in Edo Bay. Under the coercion of force from the United States, the shogunate accepted the request to open the port and signed the "Japan-US Treaty of Amity" in Kanagawa on March 31, 1854, which was the first unequal treaty signed between Japan and the Western powers.

Although Japan signed an unequal treaty on this, it opened the door for Japan to close itself off from the rest of the country, let Japan see the power of science and technology, and even proposed to be fully Westernized at that time, and even the written language should be abandoned and replaced with the alphabet.

So in Zhang Nan's view, Japan is a complete pragmatist, when you are useful, he can pretend to be a grandson, and when you are useless, the role will be reversed.

For such a complete pragmatist, and a white-eyed wolf who can never be fed, Zhang Nan didn't even want to assimilate them, Zhang Nan had to forget what status Japan is now, but as soon as the Tang envoy jumped out, Zhang Nan remembered this hidden danger in the future.

Of course, now that we know the hidden dangers, we must eradicate them.

"Your Majesty, the Wa Kingdom sent an envoy to my Tang Dynasty to study, hoping to get the enlightenment of the Tang Dynasty and learn the words of the sage." The first thing the eldest grandson Wuji did in the early dynasty was to report to Li Er, although Li Er knew it earlier, but someone still had to bring it up.

Li Er nodded, signaling that he knew, and then said to the courtiers: "What do you think Aiqing thinks of the envoys sent by the Japanese State this time?" ”

At this time, Xiao Yu and Wei Zheng and other ministers seemed to have discussed, and they all stood up, and the rhetoric was basically the same, nothing more than how strong the Tang Dynasty was, attracting other countries to surrender, since he was a master, he had to have a master, and he would leave it to him if he wanted to learn.

For such generous scholars, Zhang Nan naturally scoffed, there is a saying that the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master, not to mention that Japan is still a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed.

Zhang Nan would rather believe that sows can climb trees than that Japan can honestly stay by Datang's side.

"Since all Aiqing have the same opinion, let's announce that the envoy of the Japanese State will meet you." Li Er saw that no one objected, and he was naturally happy to be the master, for Li Er, the country around him was disobedient, so he only needed to be obedient, if he was disobedient, then it would be destroyed.

Of course, Zhang Nan didn't think so, so Zhang Nan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

"Oh? What's the matter with the clear spring? Li Er asked.

"The minister dares to ask the emperor, do you really want to hand over the advanced culture and politics of the Tang Dynasty to this Wa country?" Zhang Nan asked rhetorically.

"Does Qingquan think there's anything wrong with it?" Li Er frowned, generally Zhang Nan's opinions, Li Er would consider them carefully, not to mention that Zhang Nan's tone was obviously not supportive.

"Of course there's something wrong! Why should we teach him? He is not the son of my Tang Dynasty, has he come up with something that can be exchanged, why should we give them our good things for free? For the sake of face? Ladies and gentlemen, I dare to ask you, how many taels of this face is between countries? Zhang Nan asked.

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, the ministers all looked like they were thinking, yes, we don't owe anyone anything, why should we give them for free?

Of course, Xiao Yu stood up at this time and said: "Lord Zhang's words are bad, it is a good thing to be able to let the Japanese country hear the words of the saints and practice the rites of the saints, why can't we teach them?" ”
