No matter 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,
Even a small country like Baekje can be bullied to the extreme.
They have to be killed anyway, so why not sell them for money?
In comparison, any sustainable development is a mirror image. 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, so Minta Soga needed to return to Asukakyo first to explain the situation to his father and discuss the conditions proposed by Fushun. 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 exquisite glassware...
Looking at Su Wo Mingtai's happy back, Wang Xuance said in admiration: "The way to use military force 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 will definitely make him yearn for wealth more and more.
And the Japanese country is barren, so where can he find so much wealth for him to squander? According to my humble opinion, this man will fall into the trap of the marquis for the rest of his life."
The Japanese country is poor. If you want to seize huge wealth to support a luxurious life, you can only hold on to Fang Jun tightly. If you meet a good person, that's it. I will show you a few ways to make money and enjoy life easily, but if you meet a good person, it will be fine.
If you are not a kind 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 was not a "lady" in any way...
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 intention. So you have to remember, 'The sea is open to all rivers, and it is great to be tolerant, but to stand on a wall and have no desires is to be strong'! Only when you have an open mind and a long-term vision, can you be truly powerful and make all opponents helpless.
There are gaps to be found.”
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, and 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 position!"
Seeing Wang Xuance's respectful expression, Fang Jun smiled.
You actually gave this person a lesson?
He was an outstanding person who persuaded all the countries in the Western Regions to jointly send troops 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 she concealed the "way to make money" that Fang Jun pointed out.
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 recently?
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 can raise a few points, but if the brothers all go to catch 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 cases 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 have to fall into the pockets of the Tang people.
Where else is the choice?
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 family knew the dangers involved. Some were willing to fight to the death for their future by following Suga's father and son.
Some are afraid of the disaster that will eventually come early, and have been holding back, and even have flirtations with some forces that have finally conquered 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, take a good look at their own situation, especially those who are against him, and think clearly whether they should follow the family and seize the highest power, or be willing 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 caused by the actions of the Tang people who fanned the flames dissipated in an instant. How could the Tang Dynasty fight against its enemies? Not only could they not be enemies, but they had to be obedient to them and learn from the good things of the Tang Dynasty. One day, the Japanese country would also learn from them.
Today's Tang Dynasty has generally become a powerful country, and its troops are invincible!
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 Mr. Hou."
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 party, and you will probably feel a little compassion when you use the knife on yourself.
"Oops, it turns out to be 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, I have admired Han culture.
Many literary giants have read their works, and there are only a handful of them who can compare with the Marquis."
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
This official is going to make me laugh. But speaking of Han culture, as far as I know, many Han people traveled across the ocean and came to the Japanese country to avoid war and other reasons. Among these people, there are many great Confucians. Sinology
His attainments 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. From the Central Plains to Goguryeo,
Baekje and other countries crossed the sea and came to Japan, but they did not produce anything. They did not see a single poetry book published all day long. They were just a bunch of lazy, greedy and hypocritical silverfish. How could they be compared with the Marquis who was famous all over the world?
?”
The poor "migrants" were regarded by the Han people as homeless wild dogs, and by the Japanese as trash who had betrayed their ancestors and were no longer human beings.
Fang Jun said: "The Han culture has a long history and is so profound that 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 Hou, is this true?"
Suama Lishi, who had no concept of "cultural invasion" at all, suddenly lighted up!
