Chapter 2081: Japanese Situation
Li Shen's plan for Japan should focus on cultural invasion in the early stages, which can reduce a lot of trouble, such as rebels, or reduce the casualties of soldiers and generals.
Di Renjie's other mission when he came here was to infiltrate.
Bribe high-ranking officials and become a spy.
Investigate important people and families in Japan. If they can be bribed, bribe them. If they cannot be bribed, frame them and cause chaos in Japan.
Li Shen does not want to see a complete, centralized country.
So Di Renjie has been working hard for this. When he heard that Japan's right minister Soga no Ishikawamaro had escaped, he immediately became interested.
Right Minister Soga no Ishikawamaro is a high-ranking official in Japan, and he must know a lot of secrets.
This should be helpful for King Ji's future plans.
"Don't worry, young man. Our people have been following Soga no Ishikawa Maro and will definitely bring him back alive." The steward replied.
"Very good. I will report to His Royal Highness Prince Ji and record your merit." Di Renjie encouraged.
"Thank you, young master." The steward hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Merit is equivalent to wealth in the Prince Ji's Mansion. His Royal Highness Prince Ji is generous and never stingy with rewards.
"By the way, young master, there is another piece of news recently that Silla sent Kim Do-sui to Japan as a hostage.
It seems like some kind of agreement has been reached between the two countries.”
The steward reported another piece of news.
"Silla sent a hostage to Japan?" Di Renjie was stunned. Why would Silla send a hostage to Japan? Isn't this equivalent to recognizing the suzerain?
The only suzerain state of Silla has always been the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has always played this role and protected Silla.
A battle even broke out with Goguryeo over this.
"That's not right. How could Japan be stronger than Silla?" a manager asked with some confusion.
“In fact, Japan is really stronger than Silla. Japan is short of resources, and the people live in hardship. In addition, there have been disasters here for years, which has led to their brutality in the fight for resources.
However, Silla was too weak and had always been tolerant. The Japanese were bullies and afraid of the strong, which is why the Japanese oppressed the Silla people. "
The manager who collected intelligence explained.
Di Renjie nodded in agreement. In recent years, he had also discovered that the Japanese people were servile and dependent on the strong.
"You're right. If it were the Tang Dynasty, they wouldn't have the guts to do that.
However, Silla's move is indeed intriguing. Your news is very important, and I will report it to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
Di Renjie immediately wrote down this matter. The close relationship between Silla and Japan might have some impact on the vassal states surrounding the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, Silla has always been a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the King of Silla was also canonized by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Now it is sending a hostage to Japan. Isn't this two-faced?
"By the way, what is the current situation on Iki Island and Tsushima Island? Have they reached an agreement?" Di Renjie asked again.
"No, young master. The people on the two islands do not agree with us building ports there.
The Hata family in particular was very tough, saying that it was impossible to allow outsiders to enter Iki Island." The manager reported.
"Humph, how can this be? They are still outsiders? It won't be long before they are all members of the inner tribe.
Since they don't know how to appreciate our kindness, don't blame us for being ruthless. I will notify the palace to start implementing the island strike plan. Since they won't let anyone in, don't come out in the future."
Di Renjie snorted coldly. He had already guessed that it would not go so smoothly.
Originally he wanted to resolve the two islands peacefully and infiltrate slowly, but now it seems he has to use force.
Di Renjie prepared to notify the pirate group to attack the two islands, destroy all their ships, and trap them on the islands. When their food ran out, they would be in trouble.
Prince Ji said that these two islands are extremely important to Prince Ji’s Palace and must be obtained at all costs.
"Okay, that's basically it, you all need to do your job and don't slack off.
If there is anything, please report it in time. "After discussing the matter, Di Renjie concluded.
"My dear young master, I have one more thing to ask."
Just then, a man dressed as a scholar stood up.
"What's the matter?" Di Renjie's attitude became a little gentler.
"My dear young master, there are too many students now, and the academy is short of space. Not only that, we are also short of instructors.
Please submit a memorial to the court and ask them to send some more instructors."
This person was an instructor sent by the imperial court and was transferred from the Imperial College.
The number of places for the imperial examinations was limited each year, and most people could not pass. After Li Shen mentioned this to Li Shimin, the court issued a notice.
Recruiting scholars to come to Japan to serve as teachers, after a few years of service, they can return to the capital to report on their work, without having to take the imperial examinations, which can be regarded as a new path for scholars.
A new channel was added to serve as an official in the court.
However, there are only a dozen people coming this time. There are more than 100,000 people here, including the children, there are almost 200,000 people. It is impossible for a dozen people to teach 200,000 people.
They can only divide the class into hours every day, each class is about three or four quarters of an hour, and the number of students in each class is about a hundred.
Even so, there are still many people who cannot learn it.
"Well... In this way, I will write a letter to His Royal Highness Prince Ji as soon as possible to see what arrangements the prince has made.
Let's overcome the difficulties as far as the school is concerned first. I'll have people build some sheds. After Ji Wang City is built, we'll consider where to rebuild a college.
What do you think? " Di Renjie was quite polite to the people sent by the court. He didn't want to cause trouble for Prince Ji's Mansion.
Of course, the people sent by the court were also very cooperative and would not interfere or act arrogantly. They also knew that Prince Ji was behind Di Renjie.
If they offend Prince Ji's Mansion, they might die in a foreign land.
"Everything is up to the young master."
"Okay, that's it. You guys go and get busy." Di Renjie stood up and said.
"I'll take my leave."
After the group bowed, they retreated. Di Renjie went directly to the study in the back hall, took out some paper and began to write a letter.
He wanted to write down all the recent events, work summaries, and difficulties encountered and report them to King Ji.
"Mrs. Chen, come with me for a while."
After writing the letter, Di Renjie stood up and called out, then rode out of the city with his guards and headed towards the port on the seaside.
This is not their port, but a local port, and some fishermen are going out to sea to fish again.
Some merchants would also come here. The pirate group of Prince Ji’s Mansion would only intercept ships from the Liaodong Peninsula and would not care about the others.
Soon Di Renjie arrived at the dock. After getting off the horse, he looked around and ran straight towards a small fishing boat.
(Some people actually said that I wrote Di Renjie just for the sake of writing nonsense? Do you know how hard I tried to look up information these days?
The writer spent eight hours searching for information.
This is all for you to understand the situation here first, so that when we call you, you won't be clueless.
One more thing, have I ever drawn a map of Japan? I don’t remember.)
