Chapter 1834 Cultural Invasion
In any era, population is an important criterion for measuring national strength.
A huge population base can create all possibilities...
For the Soga family, all the Japanese who currently support the emperor need to be eliminated urgently. Otherwise, the position of the leader of the Japanese country will be unstable. The successive wars will consume every ounce of the Japanese country's strength. Maybe by then Silla, A small country like Baekje can bully it to the extreme.
They have to be killed anyway, so why not sell them for money?
In comparison, any sustainable development is nothing but a mirror. It does not matter whether there is enough population to become a powerful country. What is important is to first secure the supreme position of the Japanese country...
It would take several days for the Ezo people to arrive. Soga Minta needed to return to Asukakyo first to explain the situation to his father and discuss the conditions proposed by Fang Shun. He could not decide on these matters.
Before leaving, Fang Jun ordered Wang Xuance to take out some gifts from the cabin, and presented him with several jars of Fangfu fine wine, grape wine from the Western Regions, several kilograms of high-quality tea, and several pieces of exquisite glassware...

Looking at Su Wo Mingtai's happy back, Wang Xuance sighed in admiration: "The way to use troops is to attack the city first, and attack the heart first. This person is greedy and superficial, only focusing on the present without any foresight. These gifts from the Marquis must be However, he yearns for wealth more and more, and the Japanese country is poor. Where can he find so much wealth for him to squander? According to humble opinion, this person will fall into the trap of the marquis for the rest of his life. "
The Japanese country was poor, and if they wanted to seize huge wealth to support their luxurious life, they could only hold on to Fang Jun's thigh. If you meet a good person, that's all. They will show you some ways to make money and enjoy life easily. But if you meet a bad person, you will have to be sold out and have to help count the money.
Wang Xuance glanced at Fang Jun, who had a slightly dark complexion, and thought that this person had nothing to do with a "lady"...
Fang Jun disagreed, and turned around and walked back to Chunfan Building, saying as he walked: "If you want to gain something, you must lose something. Everything in this world is balanced, but sometimes the gap between gain and loss is a bit big. , but this is not the original Meaning. So you have to remember, 'The sea is open to all rivers, and it is great, but the wall is strong and there is no desire'! Only when you have an open mind and a long-term vision, can you be truly strong and have no gaps for all your opponents."
Wang Xuance followed Fang Jun, chewing on these words.
After a moment, he sighed and said: "What the Marquis said is a wise saying! However, as people are born and live in the world, some people are greedy for money, some people love power, some people are lustful... After all, they will have all kinds of desires, and Who can achieve the goal of being strong without desire? ”
"So, no opponent is invincible. As long as you identify his shortcomings and target his shortcomings, you can defeat anyone."
"I have learned a lesson from my humble job!"
Seeing Wang Xuance's respectful expression, Fang Jun smiled.
I actually taught this person a lesson?
He was a great man who persuaded all the countries in the Western Regions to send troops together to beat Asan with his mouth...
*****
Suga Mingta returned to Asuka-kyo and told his father Suga Rise about the preliminary negotiations with Fang Jun, but he concealed the "way to make money" pointed out by Fang Jun.
In his opinion, even if the Tang Dynasty still lacks slaves, there is a limit after all. If he tells his father about this and all his brothers learn about this method of making money, and then go around to rob slaves and sell them to the Tang people, then Have you made less money soon?
Moreover, things are rare and expensive. He can negotiate the price when he sells slaves to Fang Jun. If the demand in the Tang Dynasty is very urgent, he may be able to raise the price by a few points, but if the brothers all go to capture slaves, the supply exceeds the demand in the end. , aren’t prices just being pushed down by Tang people?
He is still very smart...
As for the conditions of the Tang people, the Suga family actually had no room for negotiation.
Now that the Eni people are approaching the city, it may be the end of the family's destruction. The Tang army is the only hope. How can they be allowed to be picky and considerate?
After hearing what Minta Soga said that the Ezo people might be the backers of the Tang people, Soga was so angry that he kicked over the tables in front of him, but there was nothing he could do.
Either let the Tang people reap huge benefits by offering conditions, or wait for the Ezo people to attack Asukakyo and hand over the benefits of Japan to the Tang people... In the end, these benefits will fall into the pockets of the Tang people.
Where else can I choose this?
However, the imminent crisis has been temporarily lifted, which can make everyone in the Suga family breathe a sigh of relief.
From the moment he usurped the throne, the entire Suga family was in a state of extreme tension. Everyone in the clan knew the dangers involved. Some were willing to fight to the death for their future by following Suga Roshi and his son. Some were willing to fight to the death for their future. Some are afraid of the disaster that will eventually come early, and have been holding back, and even have flirtations with some forces that are finally the emperor. This is something Suama will never tolerate.
If you can't even unite your own family, how can you sit on the country and become the master of the Japanese country?
Now everyone can loosen their tight strings and take a good look at their own situation, especially those who are against him, and think clearly whether to follow the family and seize the highest power, or to be someone else. The chess piece under your command, begging for mercy...
He ordered Soga Meita to guard Asukakyo, and he himself took dozens of dead soldiers and set off for Namba Tsu.
When he arrived at Nambazu, he saw the magnificent Chunfan Tower on the side of Tennoji Temple from a distance. He was as shocked and amazed as his son was at the beginning.
With just one building, you can see the huge gap between Japan and the Tang Dynasty...
The initial dissatisfaction due to the actions of the Tang people who fanned the flames dissipated in an instant. How could the Tang Dynasty fight against the enemy? Not only must we not be enemies, we must also be obedient to them and learn from the good things of the Tang Dynasty. One day, the Japanese country will become a powerful country like the Tang Dynasty, and it will be invincible wherever its troops go!
Clinging to Datang's thigh, this is what a smart person should do...
Seeing Fang Jun, he felt even more emotional.
How long have we been apart before we meet again?
This person sat firmly in Nambajin and built this beautiful building with interest in his spare time. However, he single-handedly controlled the situation in Japan. Even the top figures in Japan like himself had to come here in a condescending manner. Let him be at his mercy and do what he wants.
Probably only a country like the Tang Dynasty could have such powerful figures...
"I have met the Marquis."
The situation is stronger than the person, and there is no need to act like an elder. If you are honest and polite, you may be able to win the favor of the other person, and you will probably have a little compassion for yourself when you use the knife.
"Oops, it turns out to be a senior! Don't you dare take it seriously? Come on, let's talk in the building!"
Fang Jun's face was full of joy, and he helped Sumolishi into the building.
As soon as he entered the hall, Sumo Lishi saw the calligraphy hanging in the main hall. His cloudy old eyes showed admiration and admiration, and he exclaimed: "Good poems, good sentences! I have admired Han culture the most in my life. Throughout the ages, There are many literary giants who have read their works, and there are only a handful of them who can compare with Hou Ye.”
After arriving and sitting down in the side hall, Fang Jun ordered people to serve tea and said with a smile: "Senior, this is really embarrassing me. How can the light of a firefly compare with those literary giants in history? Senior, please don't say this out loud, otherwise I'm going to make a fool of myself. Speaking of Han culture, as far as I know, many Han people traveled across the ocean and came to Japan to avoid war and other reasons. Among these people, there are many great Confucians, and their attainments in Sinology are not low."
The "Du Lai people" directly brought culture and technology to the Japanese country and promoted the development of the Japanese society. It can be said that if there were no "Du Lai people", the current Japanese country would probably be the same as those barbarians in the west who eat hair and drink blood...
However, Sumo Lishi obviously has no good opinion of the "crossing people": "Those trash who have forgotten their ancestors, apart from instigating the relationship between monarchs and ministers and causing social unrest, what else can they do? These people don't even care about the ancestral halls of their ancestors. Baekje and other countries I traveled across the sea and came to the Japanese country, but I didn't do anything. I didn't see a single poetry book published all day long. They were just a bunch of lazy, greedy and hypocritical silverfish. How can they be compared with the Marquis who is famous all over the world?"
The poor "crossers" were regarded by the Han people as homeless wild dogs, and by the Japanese as trash who had betrayed their ancestors and abandoned their ancestors. They were not human beings inside or outside.
Fang Jun said: "The Han culture has a long history and is profound. How many great scholars would not dare to understand it even in their entire lives, let alone ordinary people like us? However, if our predecessors admire Han culture, I can introduce some of it after I ascend the throne. Scholars from the Tang Dynasty came to the Japanese country to open private schools and teach culture, which made the exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese country more frequent, allowing them to understand each other and create a prosperous future together. ”
"Master Marquis, are you serious about this?" Suama Lishi, who had no concept of "cultural invasion" at all, his eyes suddenly lit up!
