Tsukushi Island was once considered a force in the entire East China Sea, and a hundred years ago, the national strength of Tsukushi Province was enough to compete with Baekje. Even if Silla occupied two territories in the northwestern frontier of the Wa Kingdom, he would unite with the lord of Tsukushi Province at the time.

It's just that the central power of the main island of Wa has risen, and the clan alliance has taken shape, and most of the royal families are of Baekje blood. As a hybrid product of Nambuyeo and Samhan, Baekje has not yet fallen out with Goguryeo, so Tsukushi directly attacked the street diplomatically, attacked from the two sides, and was finally hung up and beaten.

By the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, that is, a hundred years after the Zhuzi Kingdom, the clan union was one step closer, and the countries on the island had begun to have a feudal system. It is only because of the constraints of the old forces that the island is a primitive society, a slave society, and a feudal society.

This is also why, a hundred years after the fall of the Tsukushi Kingdom, the son of Tsukushi-kun Iwai, Tsukushi-kun Gezi, has been dead for several years, and his grandson can still be named the lord of the Tsukushi country.

The key problem is that, although most of the island's states led by the Yamato Imperial Court have been established on the surface, the territories of the primitive tribal slave aristocracy and the neo-feudal aristocracy are basically no different from those of independent states. The grandson of Chikushijun Iwai, that is, the turtle who came to Lao Zhang and said that he wanted to restore the country, in addition to the royal family who paid tribute to the Yamato court in Tuncang, he still controlled a considerable number of "tribesmen".

However, the "tribesmen" were of little use, and the successive return of Sui envoys brought a new institutional leap to the Yamato Imperial Court, and the main island at this time was like a sponge, rapidly absorbing the knowledge, system, and culture of the Central Empire.

Aside from the border areas of the Yamato Imperial Court, Namba Gyeonggi, which is directly under its central government, is completely a copycat version of the capital of the Sui Dynasty, but it is smaller in size and more in image. But in any case, there is already a preliminary prototype of a civilized state.

Just like the common problem of most new countries, there are many contradictions within the Japanese state, otherwise Lao Zhang's fleet would not have traveled eastward, not only with the big clans leading the way, but also with the big nobles who resell grain. and all kinds of neurotic royal families who want to monopolize the diplomatic channels with the Tang.

", this Purple Country, do you really want to help restore the country?"

The eldest cousin, who had gone to the cellar of the house with bags of golden sands, came to Zhang De's office again, and the old Zhang had nothing to do, so he bought a piece of land and built a Zhuangzi next to the newly repaired river embankment in Cangzhou.

Because the "Dongfeng" fleet now also goes to the mouth of the Zhanghe River, the eldest cousin has nothing to do, so he goes south to the Zhanghe River, and then takes a boat south to the mouth of the Cangzhou Fushui River. Then change it into a flat-bottomed boat and cross the sluice gate to Lao Zhang for a vacation.

Anyway, the business of extorting barbarians is very good, and it feels good to use Stanai to intimidate those small countries in remote areas from time to time.

"Brother, Tsukushi Country is a treasure land." Lao Zhang pulled one pile after another, "Except for wood and plaster, don't mention it, that's all...... Gold and silver mines. ”

Speaking of gold and silver mines, Zhang De's voice was very low. The eldest grandson shook the tiger's body, and then said: "The hoe is strong and helps the weak." It is **** righteousness! ”

"Brother Gao Yi, little brother admires!"

Lao Zhang's expression was solemn and admiring.

"Alas...... However, I still have to be an official for half a year now, and there will be a shortage of fat in the Ministry of Rites next year. ”

"Is there still a fat shortage in the Ministry of Rites?"

"Hey ......"

The eldest grandson Chong's face was colorful, looking like you kid knew this, "I didn't have fat before." In the future, it's very different. ”

After adding a cup of tea to Zhang De, the eldest cousin squinted his eyes and whispered: "Brother Xian, I have been busy for my brother for half a year, and I have almost figured out the specialties of the northeastern states. Even if it is the Wandering Ghost Country that comes to pay tribute. What kind of quality this tribute is, I know it to my brother. ”

“……”

Co-authorship or blackmail. Fuck your dignified old cunt son, how can you do these things that give birth to sons without assholes? Not afraid of losing your dad's face?

However, the eldest grandson Chong was happy in it, and nodded at Zhang De to thank him: "By the way, the cave master of the three-star cave in Heishui can be a man, a man!" After that, he went to Chang'an, just do things boldly and support him! ”

Sony's crime is extremely evil, and he actually has an unsightly deal with Changsun Chong behind Lao Tzu's back, and the brothers of the Loyal Society complained, it seems that they want to educate Sony well, what can be done and what can't be done.

Zhang De silently wrote down the name of Sony, the owner of the three-star cave in Heishui, on the little black book, he already had his own thighs, and he dared to go to his eldest cousin behind his back, which was simply self-defeating.

Is it really Lao Tzu who is in time to call for righteousness? !

"Brother, in the second half of the year, the younger brother will buy a batch of goods on Chikushi Island. Wood, minerals, grain, seafood, jewelry, before winter, my brother picks a morning light and orders a boat. ”

Knowing that Zhang De was generous, but every time he was smashed so happily, the eldest cousin was still very excited, and hurriedly said: "Alas, it's a pity that beauty is not blessed, blessed." ”

It's heartbreaking, it's heartbreaking!

The eldest grandson scolded secretly: Xu Xiaode is not a son of man.

Although he scolded Lao Zhang's father-in-law in his heart, Changsun Chong was still happy to find Xu Xiaode to continue to communicate, and last time he sent someone to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, asking Xu Xiaode to discuss with the Zhang family whether he could dissolve the marriage contract, but Xu Xiaode didn't say anything, and the old devil directly beat Changsun Chong's messenger half to death, and almost didn't come back from the outside of the plug alive.

However, the eldest cousin has pondered it, and he can't get his cousin home now. However, Zhang De is hopeful, as long as Sister Xu Hui stands aside, won't Zhang Caozhi have another reason to be captured by His Majesty the Emperor? At that time, as the cousin who was once the most trusted and admired cousin of Lizhi, he will have a great advantage.

Although it is a bit of a poisonous point to send a sister, from Zhang Caozhi's point of view, this is a cool point. The eldest grandson Chong has specialized in Zhang De's psychology, like this, the relationship between men and women is extremely harmonious, and there is not even a red face in the north There are young people in the Tang Dynasty, and they are really about to become extinct.

As for all kinds of gossip with Princess Anping, that's a fart! How many of the sons and daughters of the powerful didn't come out without making some noise with the princess? It's just that the new emperor has only been on the throne for five or six years, and it's just so obvious that it's not easy. But just like that, didn't Princess Langya and Zou Guogong's car shock door still appear?

"Brother Xian, let's stay."

The thoughtful eldest grandson Chong thought about it and remembered that his father still had something to do with Jiangnan Province, so he whispered, "This kind of thing should not be publicized." Brother Wei should have borrowed a few powerful generals from the Denglai Water Army, but it was too ostentatious and might attract criticism. However, in Jiangnan, I know a few people for my brother, but they are old adults, and their water skills are quite strong. ”

In fact, Zhang De was not very willing to get involved in this matter from the eldest grandson's family, because if the matter spread, it would be a political incident caused by a diplomatic incident. The crime that the entire Zhang family has to bear is really not small. It's just that the space that can be operated is too big, and relying on the mouth cannon that the Zhang family currently has in his hands is enough to hang all the official figures of the Wa State to fight.

The reason why it is said that the official figures of the Wa State are because of the Sui envoys sent in the former Sui period, and there were still those who stayed in the Tang Dynasty at this time. And they have already begun to welcome a new batch of envoys to the Tang Dynasty, who are landlords of the Township Party, and all of them have official status.

When he was in the capital, there were doctors in the Guozijian who were sent to Sui, and there were Hongwen Hall in the Ministry of Rites, and there were also their people. In short, there is still some right to speak in the "clear stream".

In addition, the Sui envoys often take two lines, one is Denglai, and the other is Yangzhou, so the relationship with the Jiangnan Shi clan in Shandong is quite close. Even Yu Shinan has a few Dongying New Year's friends.

"Brother, although Tsukushi Country is called a country, there is nothing to worry about. Now build the four realms of Purple Island, just like the state of the middle and lower. Its people are also despised, its land is also tired, there are many ignorant savages, the garrison of the Japanese kingdom is less than 3,000, and many Baekje warriors wander here as mercenaries. ”

The man from Liangfeng County still knows this information very well, and smiled at his eldest cousin, "I am not a general of the imperial court, I don't seek his own people, and I am only interested in profit." ”

Hearing what Zhang De said, Changsun Chong nodded slightly: "In this way, it is appropriate, this matter can be big or small, and it is not easy to show the rumors." If there is someone else involved, my brother will also help you keep an eye on it. ”

"I'm tired of my brother's memory, and at the end of the year, I'll let my brother pick a boatload of good things."

The eldest grandson Chong looked shy: "This ...... For Brothers...... Shame, shame. ”

When leaving Cangzhou, the loyal dog of the eldest grandson's family listened to the words of the eldest prince and ran to inquire about the people who were staying in the Tang Dynasty who were going back to the Wa Kingdom recently.

Then soon, there was a news from Yangzhou that reached Changsun Chong.

"High metaphysics? What's the matter? ”

"The former Sui Dynasty sent Sui envoys for four years, known as the name of organic sensitivity and intelligence, virtuous people in Beijing, and many friends. When Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang, he also treated him with courtesy. ”

"Four years of great cause?"

"Yes, four years of great cause, nine out of forty today. Many people in the Wa Kingdom say that it is the blood of Wei Wu and the fame of the high place of the Wa Kingdom. ”

The eldest grandson rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "The one who claims to be after Cao Cao?" When I said that, I remembered that there was indeed such a person. ”

After pondering for a while, the eldest grandson squinted his eyes and said: "When I was in Guozijian, I heard this person talk about "Poems", and between his chest and abdomen, he was all Jinglun, and he was a rare overseas sage. ”

"Childe means ......"

"Kill, since such a person is going to return from Yangzhou, he naturally knows about Jiangnan Denglai's deeds, wouldn't it be a trouble for my brother? I am a brother and a shelter from the weather. ”

"Childe is so open-minded, the little one admires him a lot, and it is really a monstrous blessing that Cao Zhigong can have a great brother like Childe. The friendship of the prince is really a model in the world. ”

"Do it quickly, Yangzhou should not do too much, use a little strategy, don't alarm the place."

"Childe, don't worry."

After the eldest grandson Chong ordered his subordinates to do something, he sighed with emotion: "Virtuous brother, that's all my brother can do for you." (To be continued.) )
