Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 437 The current situation in Japan, Li Shimin’s partiality
Chapter 437 The current situation in Japan, Li Shimin’s partiality
"You, can you understand us?"
"God bless, God bless!"
The three beautiful Chinese people were so excited that the woman even burst into tears.
"I know a little bit."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Have someone untie them and prepare some meals.
As soon as the food arrived, the three of them devoured it as if they hadn't eaten in several days.
"Husband, you are so awesome. Which language are they speaking?"
Du Miaoyan and others were probably surprised.
They all looked at Fang Yuan, wanting to know which country they were from.
"I don't know now."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Beautiful Country is the name of later generations. Fang Yuan really doesn’t know what it is called now.
Soon, the three beautiful Chinese people finished eating and took some time to chat with Fang Yuan in detail.
Soon, Fang Yuan knew their identities, they turned out to be missionaries on the other side of the sea.
Because of the underdeveloped navigation technology, they got lost in the sea, and then their ship capsized due to wind and waves.
There were thirty-seven people in total, and now only three of them were alive. They were rushed to the Weishui port, where they were eventually discovered and captured by Zheng Jiu.
In fact, it can’t be considered a catch, because they know that their languages are different, so they want to seek help from the local government to see if anyone understands what they say.
But it's a pity that Zheng Jiu and others didn't know what they said, so they arrested them and took them back to the county government.
If Fang Yuan hadn't happened to see it, they might have been locked in a cell for the rest of their lives.
Unless they suddenly learn to speak Chinese one day, the outcome will be tragic.
"Why did you go to sea?"
Fang Yuan asked.
“Preach God!”
"Benefactor, are you willing to be the first believer of Catholicism overseas?"
The three of them said solemnly.
Then he looked at Fang Yuan with a pious expression and solemnly invited.
"Sorry, I don't want to."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
The three people suddenly looked disappointed.
"The three of you cannot speak the same language here and it is difficult to survive. What are your plans?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"Can the benefactor take us in?"
"We can work and earn enough money to buy a boat and leave."
The three of them said solemnly.
"How about this?"
"How about I ask people to teach you the language here, and you teach them your language?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
He built steel ships, not only to facilitate Wang Shiyu's trade in the Western Regions, but also had a long-ago plan, which was to dominate overseas.
There are many resources in the outer sea. The Tang Dynasty has now dominated the east. Countries such as Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and Western Turks are not afraid. They must either surrender to the Tang Dynasty or be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.
So Datang is now focusing on overseas.
Even if the Tang Dynasty is not looking at overseas, Fang Yuan is still looking at the outer sea.
One day in the future, if Miraishima is a pensioner, the ships of Miraishima will face the overseas world.
Looting overseas resources to develop itself, far ahead of other countries for hundreds of years, is an idea that Fang Yuan has had for a long time.
Therefore, it is necessary to learn some foreign languages now. After all, foreign plunder does not necessarily use weapons, but can also be done through commercial means, etc.
"Yes, yes, you are truly a benefactor given to us by God!"
The three of them were very excited.
Reached a cooperation agreement with Fang Yuan.
Naturally, Fang Yuan would not let the three of them live in Fang Mansion.
Considering that the three of them could not survive outside, a place was arranged for them.
"Husband, what did you talk to them about?"
Du Miaoyan asked curiously.
They were here just now, but they couldn't understand what Fang Yuan said to them.
"I asked them to teach our people their language and our people to teach them our language."
Fang Yuanyan explained concisely and comprehensively.
"What's so interesting about their language?"
"We, the Tang Dynasty, have a vast land and rich resources, a land of abundance, and they can't learn much from us."
Su Ziqing said proudly from the side.
In her opinion, these foreigners are similar to the Western Turks.
They probably came from a cold and bitter land, and it was not worth letting the people of the Tang Dynasty learn their language.
"Having said that, there is no harm in learning."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
For the current Tang Dynasty, it is indeed a land of abundance.
But we should not underestimate the world. Nowadays, various parts of the world are developing very well.
And Fang Yuan not only wants to learn their language, but also has other ideas.
For example, when they plunder overseas resources in the future, they can lead their own fleets there, etc.
"Is it okay if I don't want to learn?"
Su Ziqing asked.
"You don't need to learn, I will let others learn."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
If Du Miaoyan and others want to learn, then learn.
But if they don’t want to learn, Fang Yuan will not force them to learn.
Now that Datang is the strongest, they must learn the language of Datang.
Soon, the three beautiful Chinese people were arranged.
At the same time, the appearance of these three people also attracted the attention of many people.
Some people deliberately impeached Fang Yuan, saying that Fang Yuan was harboring spies from other countries, hiding him on purpose, etc., and even wrote a letter to impeach Fang Yuan.
As a result, what were originally three inconspicuous and beautiful Chinese people suddenly became the focus of all the court officials, and Fang Yuan was summoned to the palace by Li Shimin because of this.
"Fang Yuan, are you getting used to being suspended?"
Li Shimin chuckled.
He recruited Fang Yuan not only because of three beautiful Chinese people.
I also want to see if Fang Yuan has any resentment after being suspended.
"It's nice not to have to worry about official duties."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Invited by Li Shimin, I sat across from him.
"It seems that I want to see you being hit so I can't even see you."
"What's going on with those three people? There are still people writing to me that you are covering up spies from other countries."
Li Shimin chuckled.
He took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Fang Yuan.
"Those three people came from the other side of the sea, very far away."
"They don't understand our language, and we don't understand their language. How do we become spies?"
"Why don't Your Majesty let him have a public trial, and if he is found guilty of any espionage behavior, I will change from suspension to dismissal. If he is not found guilty of espionage, I will dismiss him."
Fang Yuan found it funny and angry.
In order to attack yourself, do you insinuate everything?
"The other side of the sea?"
Li Shimin was greatly surprised.
He is curious about what is on the other side of the sea?
Fang Yuan told him before that there are many countries besides the Tang Dynasty with many rich resources.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan briefly talked about what he learned from the three beautiful Chinese people.
At the same time, Fang Yuan also talked about learning their language.
"Yes, you should learn."
"We have a lot of people in the Tang Dynasty, so we should arrange for some people to study."
"I will dismiss this matter for you and warn those people, so you can go ahead and do it."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He might think twice about anyone who harbors spies.
But saying that Fang Yuan is harboring spies is going too far!
The countries in Japan are now in a melee because of Fang Yuan's plan. If he had protected the spies, the Tang Dynasty would not be so comfortable now.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fang Yuan smiled.
"Your Majesty, good news!"
Suddenly, Wang De came in excitedly outside the imperial study.
"Say it quickly!"
Li Shimin suddenly said with joy on his face.
"Japan is disintegrated!"
Wang De held a letter and said excitedly.
"Disintegrated?"
Li Shimin and Fang Yuan were both a little surprised.
If the country is subjugated, the country will be subjugated. How can it turn into disintegration?
Li Shimin quickly opened the letter, read the text on it, and then handed it to Fang Yuan.
"They're all human beings!"
After Fang Yuan read the letter, he shook his head and laughed.
Japan was disintegrated, but Japan did not perish.
It was the princesses and princes of Japan who split the four forces under the attack of Goguryeo and other countries.
The four forces worked on their own, each surrendered to a country and attached itself to Goguryeo and other countries.
Obviously, this is the result of joint discussions between Goguryeo and other countries. They do not want Japan to perish.
After all, if Japan is really destroyed, it will be very disadvantageous for them. Only they will face the pressure of the Tang Dynasty.
As for Japan, given its hatred for the Tang Dynasty, Japan will definitely be full of resentment towards the Tang Dynasty and will attack the Tang Dynasty.
"Duan Changsun is waiting for my arrangements. How do you think I can reply to him?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He was not very satisfied with the result.
Although many of the interests of various countries in Japan were allocated to the Tang Dynasty.
However, Datang did not occupy any part of Japan, which was not allowed.
"It is no longer practical to forcefully send troops to the other three countries. Let's let General Duan rest for a while first."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said.
"You want Duan Changsun to rest there and then take the opportunity to cause damage?"
Li Shimin frowned slightly.
This is not impossible, but we still cannot get a piece of land.
"I have asked the Goguryeo princess to go back. The regime in Goguryeo may change soon."
"If General Duan is left behind, as long as the situation in Goguryeo is consistent, not only Goguryeo but also Japan will be owned by the Tang Dynasty."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin knew that he asked the Goguryeo princess to go back.
But there is another thing that Li Shimin doesn't know, and that is that Fang Yuan also asked Gao Xiangyu to see whether Lu Tingmei's child was a boy or a girl.
Now Fang Yuan has left Goguryeo for more than four months, which means that Lu Tingmei only has more than five months left before giving birth.
It’s only been five months, time will pass quickly. As long as Lu Tingmei gives birth to a son, then he will be the eldest prince of Goguryeo, and Gao Tianzhi should also be offline.
The situation is consistent and Lu Tingmei wants to give birth to a son!
"Fang Yuan, you have sacrificed so much for the Tang Dynasty, yet you have been impeached and suspended by Qunche. I feel guilty."
"If you have any compensation you want, please tell me."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"If your Majesty allows it, after taking Japan, your Majesty will grant me a piece of land in Japan."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
"Hahaha... cede territory and become a king? How dare you think about it, Fang Yuan!"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Your Majesty misunderstood, I never thought about it this way."
Fang Yuan was surprised, then shook his head and said.
He thought about living in seclusion on Future Island, but never thought about breaking with the Tang Dynasty.
Without the Tang Dynasty, there would be no oneself. The Tang Dynasty has so many relatives and friends, why should we break up?
"Just kidding."
"I can give you a piece of land, but you won't tell me, how about it?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
With Fang Yuan’s contribution, there is absolutely no problem in awarding a piece of land.
But in the Tang Dynasty, only the princes had fiefdoms, and the ministers all had their own fiefdoms, which would benefit future generations.
Therefore, only two people can know about the fiefdom given to Fang Yuan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fang Yuan sincerely thanks you, I am very grateful.
"You can rest for a while, and I will reinstate you in a few days."
Li Shimin smiled and said.
Although the disintegration of Japan did not achieve great benefits, it was still considered a certain success.
After all, Duan Changsun said that various countries had plundered a lot of money from Japan and gave it to him, and they were on their way back.
When luck comes back, I will take advantage of the opportunity to reinstate Official Fang Yuan to his post.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"By the way, Your Majesty, I'm going to take in my adopted sister in two days. You've seen her before, it's that Lu Xia."
Fang Yuan suddenly remembered what happened to Lu Xia and Qin Huaiyu.
Since we happen to be in the palace, let’s talk to Li Shimin.
"You recognize a servant as your adopted sister?!"
Li Shimin was a little surprised.
He knows Lu Xia, a very capable person.
But after all, she is a servant, so there is no need to consider her as a foster sister, right?
"She has helped me a lot to get where I am today."
"In addition, Qin Huaiyu wants to marry Lu Xia as his official wife, but because of Lu Xia's identity, Qin Qiong and others may object fiercely, so I will give her an identity."
Fang Yuan said solemnly.
"So that's it."
"Then if you and Qin Qiong are married, I'm afraid many people will impeach you. Fang Yuan, you are embarrassing me."
Li Shimin's expression changed slightly and he smiled calmly.
Fang Yuan's current status is no longer what it used to be, and the Qin family is equally powerful. Qin Qiong is also known as the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty.
When a person with both civil and military skills becomes an in-law, his strength will become more powerful and people will be afraid of him. The court ministers do not want to see such a thing happen.
Ordinary emperors would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Your Majesty won't object, right?"
Fang Yuan felt Li Shimin's expression change slightly.
"No."
Li Shimin shook his head and said.
Although Fang Yuan accepted Lu Xia as his adopted sister, Lu Xia's identity is still there.
And a very important point is that if Qin Huaiyu marries Lu Xia, the relationship between Fang Yuan and the Qin family will be established. Whether he is the head wife or not is irrelevant.
More importantly, Fang Yuan saved Qin Huaiyu during his recent trip to Japan.
Just this relationship alone, the Qin family and the Fang family will have a good relationship, and it has little to do with whether they are married or not.
Therefore, under various circumstances, it is not necessary to oppose them. It is better to support them and gain a good reputation.
"I just said that Your Majesty is broad-minded and does not seem to be a stingy person."
Fang Yuan laughed.
"Haha, it's rare for you to flatter me, so go ahead and do your business."
Li Shimin said with a smile.
Fang Yuan did not explain, stood up, saluted and left.
He really felt that Li Shimin was broad-minded and not a stingy person.
However, for the emperor, if you say too many nice things, he may think it is flattering, and there is no need to explain.
Soon, Fang Yuan left the palace.
Go home and ask Du Miaoyan to find someone to calculate the time and make sure that the life in three days will be good.
As a result, the news about Fang Yuan’s adoption of his adopted sister spread.
At this time, the Qin family and Qin Huaiyu were kneeling in front of the memorial tablet.
Qin Qiong punished him by kneeling in front of his ancestors, asking him to reflect, and warned him not to marry someone with no status like Lu Xia and enter the Qin family.
At this time, Qin Qiong, who was sulking, received the news that Fang Yuan wanted to accept Lu Xia as his adopted sister.
For a moment, he was stunned, thinking that he heard wrongly.
