Shao Erdong still got his wish to see his wife and children on the Wufeng Islands, and the reunion of the family may be happy for others, but for Shao Erdong, there is some bitterness in happiness, and he can't be happy anyway.

The moment he saw his wife and children, Shao Erdong still knew that what Zhen Qian said did not have much deception, but until now he couldn't guess what he wanted to do, and after thinking about it, he found himself a very good placebo, maybe Zhen Qian really came to the country to make money? Otherwise, it is impossible to explain Zhen Qian's purpose at all?

From the mouth of the Tang envoy, Shao Er Dongshang knew the strength and wealth of the Tang Dynasty, what can a lord of the Tang Dynasty do when he runs to the Wei Kingdom?

Shao Er Dongshang's ideas are not the slightest wrong in the eyes of the Japanese and the Tang people, but unfortunately Zhen Qian is not a person from this era, and his ideas are naturally incompatible with this era.

The Wa Kingdom is indeed very poor, that is, Zhen Qian saw the most luxurious guardian mansion in Songpu City, and he did not have a trace of the idea of wanting to rob or take it for himself, in addition to the huge area of the guardian mansion, the degree of beauty is even inferior to the Sanjin Mansion of a tycoon in the Tang Dynasty, the guardian mansion is like this, and the wealth of ordinary Japanese people can be imagined.

Before the Ming and Qing dynasties, the trade between the Wa Kingdom and the Central Plains Dynasty was actually similar to the northern grassland, in the words of later economics is the trade deficit, the north is a large number of cattle and sheep imported into the Central Plains, and the Wa State is a large number of resources imported into the Central Plains, the Central Plains Dynasty in the trade status and the later generations of the United States is about the same, in the trade are occupied a great initiative.

The only commodities that can be taken out of the country today are resources, and the crude goods without any technical content do not have much market in the country, and most of the commodities used in the life of the nobles come to the Tang Dynasty, if there must be any commodities that can be taken out, that is, the process is complex to the extreme, and the Tang people are no longer willing to produce lacquerware .......

"What? Zhen Ying's envoy is willing to let the official's family leave? Shao Er Dongshang looked at Zhen Qiandao with a suspicious look and wide scary eyes.

"Are you going to let you go back first, and as for your wife and children, it depends on whether you can meet my conditions?" Zhen Qian said slowly: "Now sitting in front of you is not a Tang envoy, but a Tang businessman, if I use the identity of the envoy, I will not let go of a widow who dares to attack the envoy of the Tang Dynasty no matter what, you must be clear about this?" ”

Shao Er Dongshang is not surprised by the rapid transformation of Zhen Qian's dual identity, many Tang people have such dual identities, which is especially obvious in Hu Ren.

"What do you want?" Although Shao Er Dongshang had already guessed Zhen Qian's request in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it, he was pinched by Zhen Qian, and whether he could get out was completely determined by the other party's preferences.

"In a way, I saved you, and I didn't even take the matter of your attack on me to heart, and at the same time I also helped rescue my wife and children, and took out some gold and silver to thank me for the past!"

Shao Er Dongshang nodded and said, "This requirement is not too high, but I have nothing now, and I can't reward you with gold and silver at all?" ”

Zhen Qian was not angry, and spread his hands sneeringly and said, "Since this is the case, there is no way for us to talk about it?" ”

The guards behind Zhen Qian immediately rushed up like a fierce spirit, separating Shao Er Dongshang from his wife and children, and was about to take people away, Shao Er Dongshang immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, maybe I can think of other ways?" ”

"That's right?" Zhen Qian waved his hand to stop them: "Let them go, invite them into the house to rest, I want to talk to Shao Erjun in detail?" ”

Shao Erdong still drooped his head, pounded the beach with his hand and said, "How much gold and silver do you want?" ”

"10,000 taels of gold can also be exchanged for something of equivalent value", Zhen Qian did not have a lion opening his mouth to ask for a price, 10,000 taels of gold in Datang is 80,000 guan, in the market where gold and copper are expensive in the country, even 50,000 guan can't be exchanged, and 50,000 guan is not high to sell a life guarded by the Feiqian country.

Shao Er Dongshang's face twitched, he used to be able to take out 10,000 taels of gold without blinking his eyes, but now it is a little difficult.

Shao Er Dongshang wanted to bargain with Zhen Qian very much, but his status as a nobleman made him unable to do businessmen's affairs, so he opened his mouth a few times and finally said: "The exchange conditions for Zhen Ying's envoy will not be so simple, you might as well open all the conditions, if you can, I will consider it?" ”

Shao Erdong is still refreshing, Zhen Qian doesn't want to procrastinate, he still has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't want to waste too much time on him, "Okay!" 10,000 taels of gold is just your ransom, if you want to save all your wives and children, you have to take out 5,000 taels of gold, as long as you can take out 15,000 taels of gold, I will return it to you with your own soldiers, I won't care what you do then, and the grievances between the two of us will also be written off, how about it? ”

"Is that true?"

"A gentleman's word is quick and a whip!"

"Can I write a letter to send out?" Shao Er Dongshang continued to probe tentatively.

Zhen Qian was not afraid of any conspiracy and tricks played by Shao Er Dongshang at all, so he waved his hand and asked people to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it in front of Shao Er Dongshang and said: "You can't mention what you are here in the letter, you don't need me to teach you anything else!" ”

Of course, Shao Erdong still knows what he should do, even if Zhen Qian doesn't say this kind of thing, he can't afford to lose this person, so he wrote it on the paper, and showed it to Zhen Qian after writing it after a while.

In ancient times, there were languages but no written language.

There are different theories about when the Wa Kingdom had its own written language, but it is not that there were no written records before the Wa State did not appear in its own written language.

Around before the Common Era, Chinese characters, as an important part of Han culture, accompanied by metallurgy, textile, farming and other civilizations, spread to the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago with a strong radiation force, thus forming a continuous Chinese character culture area, that is, after this, the Wa Kingdom began to use Chinese characters as their own recording and writing tools.

After the middle of the 8th century, the Wa people began to use the partial characters of kanji regular script to create katakana, and used the side of kanji cursive script to create hiragana for the purpose of annotating the pronunciation of Chinese characters and marking Japanese phonetics. At that time, kanji were called male characters, while kana was called female characters. Later, after the continuous collation and improvement of the scholars of the Japanese Kingdom, it was only in the ninth century that the Japanese State established the "national style culture", fully implemented the Japanese script, and officially began to record its own history in the Japanese characters.

Shao Er Dongshang's letter was naturally written in Chinese characters, Zhen Qian took it in his hand and read it, and found that it turned out to be a very ordinary letter of peace, asking the other party to raise 15,000 taels of gold as soon as possible, and the transaction place was set up on the seaside of a small fishing village seven days later.
