Chapter 757: Rescue foreigners from fire and water
It was easy for Yang Lin to get information about Japan.
The Long Live Camp is a very good people, and I have been to Japan many times to do business with them.
Soon, stacks of information were piled in front of his throne.
Yang Lin felt inexplicably excited when he read books about Japan. However, after reading a few volumes, he felt a little sleepy. This was not what he felt like at all.
Today's Japan is in the Heian Period, which is often referred to as Heian Kyo in later generations.
At the end of the Nara Dynasty, the contradiction between the Japanese court and the aristocratic forces intensified.
In order to weaken the power of the powerful nobles and monks, Emperor Kanmu decided to move the capital from Nagaoka to Heian-kyo in the Yamashiro Kingdom in 784, which was later known as Kyoto. He planned to build a new capital there and named it Heian-kyo, hoping to gain peace and good luck.
Tranquility and peace.
From this point of view, it is somewhat similar to Yang Lin's starting point, both of which chose to move the capital in order to weaken the remaining power of the previous dynasty.
However, Yang Lin's purpose also has a deeper purpose, which is to win over the people of the North.
The Heian Era has lasted for more than four hundred years, and the emerging forces at the time have become corrupt and decadent upper-class nobles.
The rule of the bureaucratic aristocratic group represented by the Fujiwara family has been completely corrupted. They are politically corrupt and degraded in life.
What Japanese aristocrats pursue are magnificent palaces, shrines and Buddhist temples used as villas, grand festival ceremonies, banquets, literature and music that decorate the status of aristocratic masters. To satisfy this luxurious life, huge income from the country
Still feel not enough.
So the politics of selling officials was carried out! Those who could pay to contract the project were sold to the state secretary and the corresponding official positions below according to the amount of money they paid.
The position of the Secretary of State has the greatest opportunity for corruption and enrichment. Many bureaucrats and nobles bribed the Fujiwara clan to get the position of Secretary of the State concurrently. They were in Kyoto and sent Daimiya to take the post, which was called "remote appointment".
The government secretary paid no attention to production and allowed the acting officials to plunder the people in the government office, so he was nicknamed "the leader". There is a popular saying in Japan that "the leader has to grab a lot of ground even if he falls," which vividly illustrates the greed of the government secretary.
Yang Lin covered his head and thought deeply for a while, thinking silently in his heart, the world has been suffering and peaceful for a long time, I must save the people of Japan from the fire and water.
"Here, send someone to bring Xu Zhichang from the Ministry of Rites."
Not long after the summoned palace attendants left, Xu Zhichang hurried over. Because the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was close to the people and officials, the Ministry of Rites also worked in the imperial city, which was very close.
After Xu Zhichang stepped forward to salute, he raised his head for no apparent reason and saw that the official was frowning in thought. He stood aside with his hands lowered and did not ask questions, waiting for Yang Lin to take the initiative to call him.
Different from Chao Li, Song Jiang and others, although Xu Zhichang is also an old man next to Yang Lin, his identity as a confidant is somewhat unusual. It was his second uncle who caused the trouble, and almost harmed the entire Xu family in Yangzhou.
Therefore, Xu Zhichang has always been a little afraid of Yang Lin, especially after he ascended the throne.
Yang Lin thought for a long time and said: "Since I came to the throne, all the countries have come to congratulate me, but I have not seen a single ship or envoy from Japan. Previously, when I was the young prime minister, I proposed that the four vassals should pay tribute to the maids and chamberlains to serve the Song Emperor, and conquer the South.
I asked them to provide food and people, and everyone in Japan responded positively. Now that I have become emperor, they have become contemptuous of me, which obviously makes me look bad."
Xu Zhichang was very irritated by what he said, but Guan Jia didn't look angry. He was unsure for a moment and asked, "What does Guan Jia mean?"
"The Ministry of Rites will take action immediately and send people to hold people accountable. If you still dare to be disrespectful, you will probably have to go to war."
Xu Zhichang felt secretly angry in his heart. The officials were indeed vindictive and petty. Japan was a remote and weak place. Just because they didn't pay tribute, there would be a war... He would have to be even more cautious in the future.
Yang Lin waved his hand and drove him away, cursing and saying: "You idiot, what can we discuss with him? Sooner or later we will find a reason to get him out and give this position to a capable person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Qianqian came in with a soup cup. She only heard this sentence and did not see Xu Zhichang.
She lowered her voice in the outer hall and asked Qin Qingqing next to her: "Who made the officials angry?"
Qin Qingqing had a good relationship with Yin Qianqian. She rolled her eyes, looked around, and then stepped forward and said: "Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the officials have never liked him very much."
When Yin Qianqian heard that he was not his father, he stopped asking and did not dare to ask too much.
Qin Qingqing took the soup cup from her hand and said: "Concubine Shu is pregnant, why do you come to deliver it in person? Just say it casually, and we won't go and get it here."
Yin Qianqian, wearing a sky-blue skirt, pinched Qin Qingqing's plump buttocks and said: "Your little hooves are close to the water and the terrace. I think you are not far away from Youxi."
Yang Lin heard something moving outside, stood up and came out to take a breath, and happened to see two people having fun.
He took the soup cup, drank it down by the gulp, and wiped his mouth on Qin Qingqing's chest, which made him squeal.
Seeing that Yin Qianqian's previously soft and slender waist was slightly bulging, Yang Lin smiled happily.
"Encouraging childbirth is a game of chess across the country. I cannot lag behind and set an example."
The palace maids in the palace lowered their heads and snickered, looking at the much-loved Concubine Shu, their eyes were a little hot.
It is said that Concubine Shu broke a bottle and came to the official family. Why didn't I break a bottle at the beginning...

The result of Yang Lin's saving the Japanese people from the fire and water is still unknown, but his micro-management of Goryeo has completely changed the country.
The civil war was so fierce that it was unprecedented in Goryeo's history. The brutal war prompted both sides to compete for soldiers.
The shackles on the people at the bottom were lifted layer by layer, and the chains were slowly removed.
Yang Ziqian simply revised the law and stipulated that military merit could be awarded a title, regardless of civilians or nobles.
Cui Hongxu also promoted soldiers who fought bravely.
The people who were originally at the bottom of Goryeo and were slaughtered for their own flesh and blood suddenly became the meat and potatoes of Goryeo.
Once the people have tasted this sweetness, even a little bit, the country's former clan system has collapsed and disappeared, and there is no longer any soil for its existence.
The war spread to the entire peninsula, and west of the Yalu River were vibrant and high-spirited reclamation groups.
To the east of the Yalu River, there were flames of war and billowing smoke of blood.
The two sides fought in a very stalemate, and neither one had the strength to completely defeat the other, and was about to fall into long-term internal strife.
At this time, other forces also took the opportunity to raise troops.
Several clans escaped Yang Ziqian's purge because both parties were against the clans, so they had no choice but to set up their own clan.
The Kim family raised troops in Busan and took in the remnants of the clan, and the small peninsula was about to become the three kingdoms.
