In the name of learning the foundation, Xia Hongsheng sent the dozen or so envoys from the Japanese State to the academy in Zhuangzi, and opened a special class with them, so that Li Tai and those work-study students could teach them some basic arithmetic and physics and other things casually, and they could not form competitiveness in a short period of time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info In case one day the Japanese people develop real natural science from these things--there is no such day, because by then the Japanese country has already become a Tao of the Tang Dynasty.

Two days later, as Xia Hongsheng expected, Inougami Mita personally took ten boxes, and gold jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and sent them to Xia Hongsheng's mansion in Jingyang.

"Brother Inu, I really don't know what to say." Xia Hongsheng looked grateful, and said to Inougami Mitaku: "I can't leave anything today, Ben Hou respects the family banquet, you and I won't get drunk and won't return!" ”

"Where, Xiahou doesn't think I'm a barbarian of the Japanese Kingdom, not only helped me get His Majesty's grace, founded the Sifang Academy so that my Japanese country can learn the teachings of the Tang Dynasty, but also taught it in the way of things, but I can only repay Xiahou with this vulgar thing, I should be ashamed!"

Hahahaha, Benhou just likes these mundane things!

Xia Hongsheng smiled in his heart, and let Inougami Mita and his party into the house.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and the people in the family brought wine and food.

"Hehe, Brother Inu waits for a while, Ben Hou notified the others to come over too." Xia Hongsheng said to Inougami Mita.

"It doesn't matter." Inugami Mita nodded and said.

Xia Hongsheng sighed and said, "I should go to see Brother Inu in the past few days, but the affairs in the army are urgent, and it has been delayed a lot. Tuyuhun, a small country, is really beyond his strength! Unexpectedly, I repeatedly cut off my Datang trade routes, obstructed the caravan, and charged a large amount of customs clearance fees, which caused the caravan's income to drop by almost half percent! If this were not the case, it would not be difficult for Benhou to maintain the academy. ”

Inougami Mita listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, and didn't answer, but listened to Xia Hongsheng say again: "I won't hide it from Brother Inu, if Brother Inu also has a caravan on land, it's best to stop for the time being in the near future." On Tuyuhun's side, the information sent back by Datang's fine work is very bad, and it is estimated that there may be a war between Datang and Tuyuhun. In the event of a war, the caravan will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it is afraid that it will lose all its money. ”

"Hehe, when I arrived in Chang'an, where would there be a westbound caravan." Inougami Mita shook his head and said: "This, the war between Datang and Tuyuhun, but there is no suspense, where is Tuyuhun Datang's opponent?" ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "It's not so simple. If you want to talk about war, then Tuyuhun is naturally not the opponent of Datang. Even one of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty would be enough to destroy it. But the key lies in the people of the Tang Dynasty, who are unwilling to fight anymore. Regardless of defeat or victory, it will always be consumed, and the wool comes from the sheep, and in the final analysis, these consumption will consume the people's power after all. Brother Dog must know that the former Sui world was in chaos, there was a scuffle, and the people were struggling to make a living. As for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it was also a continuous campaign to pacify the Quartet. Finally settled down, and within a few years, it began to open up with the Turks again. Now the people do not want any more wars in their hearts, whether they can win or not. Therefore, although Datang has the ability to defeat Tuyuhun, the people are unwilling, and His Majesty is a person who loves the people, and hopes that the people can recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment, so His Majesty is also entangled in this battle. Don't fight, Tuyuhun obstructs the trade route, and according to the detailed report, Tuyuhun is also ready to send troops to attack Lanzhou. can fight, but I am afraid of arousing public resentment. In the past few days, because of this matter, we have also discussed and discussed. Xue Yantuo was cunning, saw the hesitation of the imperial court, and took advantage of this opportunity to make a deal, saying that he was willing to send troops for Datang to attack Tuyuhun, but because of the lack of weapons, he first had to buy a batch of weapons made of 100 steels from Datang. You say it's Xue Yantuo is cunning and not cunning! ”

Inugami Mita's eyes narrowed, his expression was shocked, although it was fleeting, but he was caught by Xia Hongsheng, who was secretly carefully observing his reaction.

"Oh? Datang still sells weapons to Xue Yantuo? Inugami Mita made a non-eventful look, seemingly asking casually.

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Yes, not only Xue Yantuo, but also the subject countries that have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty can apply to buy or exchange the weapons equipped in the Tang Dynasty from the Tang Dynasty." ”

Seeing Inougami Mita nodding thoughtfully, Xia Hongsheng laughed in his heart.

This set, don't believe you don't drill.

While talking, Li Tai, as well as the few work-study students, Zhang Laodao, and the dozen or so envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty all arrived at Xia Hongsheng's home. Xia Hongsheng asked them to be brought in and sat down.

Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Tai, and Li Tai nodded slightly without moving.

Xia Hongsheng laughed and asked, "Today is the second day of studying with Benhou's disciples, how do you feel?" ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng ask, Inougami Mita also immediately turned his head over, wanting to hear what they had to say.

"Back to Hou Ye's words, in the past two days, the students have learned some basic problems in arithmetic, physics and chemistry, although it is only the basics, but they have deeply felt the magic of Gewu, and faintly feel that the way of Gewu is the fundamental way to understand all things in the world." One of the Tang envoys said.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and said, "If you have something to gain, then it is good." As Ben Hou told you at the beginning, the foundation determines everything. Without a good, solid foundation, even if you want to break your head, you can't improve anymore. Okay, today's main thing is a banquet, so let's have a feast! ”

"Hehe, today's Xiahou set up a banquet to entertain, and I can't help but express it below. It's better for those who are happy to be happy, so let the people below help them! Inugami Mita said to Xia Hongsheng, and then clapped his hands, and the pharmacist Huiri, who had been kneeling behind him, got up with a guqin in his arms, knelt in the hall, and raised his hand to caress it.

Then I saw a woman next to Inougami Mita, Yingying got up and danced in the middle. While dancing lightly, the veil was untied.

Even if it wasn't the first time he saw it, it still made Xia Hongsheng uncontrollably in a trance.

This is a Japanese woman named Ono-cho.

"Onocho, why don't you go and pour wine for Master Hou?" The woman danced for a while, and Inugami Mita said.

"No, no!" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly waved his hand politely: "The girl's dance is already hard, how can Ben Hou work the girl anymore." Come on, pour wine for Benhou, don't bother the little girl. ”

"Childe forgives sins!" Yue Xian hurriedly dodged out from the side, hurriedly walked to Xia Hongsheng's side, knelt down and sat down, and helped Xia Hongsheng fill his wine glass.

Onocho was obviously stunned when he saw Yuexian, but he quickly recovered again, and seeing that Xia Hongsheng didn't need her to pour wine, he danced again and returned to the middle.

"Yuexian, what do you think of this person's playing?" When Xia Hongsheng borrowed the moon fairy to pour wine, he asked quietly.

Yuexian Zhu's lips moved slightly: "I only have its shape, but I can't taste it." ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled slightly and nodded. (To be continued.) )
