"Use the emperor to order the princes?! It's your Central Plains again?" the Japanese monk gritted his teeth.

Xue Ji spoke confidently, "I believe that your Japanese royal family will not refuse this request. Just say a few words and they will live a better life. Why not do it? We can also give your royal family a lot more For example, the spirits that your Japanese country cannot drink or the continuous supply of food, our Tang Dynasty has everything, and we will not treat your Japanese country lightly."

Chapter 674 Sea Chart

"You are wolf ambitions. You want the Japanese royal family to be your puppets." The monk stood up and shouted at Xue Ji.

"Look at you, Guanzhong dialect is becoming more and more fluent, and sometimes I almost feel that you are from Guanzhong." Xue Ji smiled and said, "Someone will come from the direction of Goguryeo to Wa Kingdom to take my place after a while, I hope The one who will replace me will treat you Wa people as well as I do."

The Japanese monk gritted his teeth, even though there were thousands of people in his heart who did not want to give in, but after thinking about it, as Xue Ji said, the life of the Japanese royal family is very bad now, many royal family members are starving, and a few words can get by On a good day, the Japanese royal family will definitely agree.

Powerless, helpless, like a mayfly shaking a tree, Waguo is too strong in front of Datang, Waguo seems to be unable to twist his thighs with his arms, no matter how much he tosses, he is not Datang's opponent, and even Datang wants to destroy Waguo now is Gu Qing's word matter.

Sometimes the Japanese monk feels that he is very tired, physically and mentally exhausted. Now he dare not have too much desire, but just wants more Japanese people to survive and live better. As long as there are people, as long as the Japanese country is still here There is still hope for everything.

After thinking for a long time, the Japanese monk came to a place where there were a few Japanese people living here, and they all worked in the factories of the Central Plains people. This is one of the few people who can gather these days. People who rebelled against Datang.

"They are about to return." The Japanese monk said, "There are thousands of Central Plains people going back this time, and they will be divided into four groups. You will mix in and enter the Tang Dynasty."

"What are we going to do in Tang Dynasty?" Several Wa people spoke in Wa dialect.

"You go to learn from the people of Datang. There are many things about the power of Datang that we should learn from. No matter how much you learn, no matter how many you can have, you will come back again. I hope that you will learn the knowledge of Datang when you come to Datang. Use these Knowledge to help Wa country become strong again."

The Japanese monk looked at them and said again in the Japanese dialect, "There is a big academy in Chang'an, and there is a lot of knowledge there, which will be very useful to us in the future."

"We know." Several Japanese Ru nodded.

Outside this room, there is an official of the Maritime Trade Department who has been quietly listening to the conversation. After listening, he walked away. In fact, Xue Ji saw what the Japanese monk did. This Japanese monk is the most sober person in the Japanese kingdom. , naturally had to stare, but Xue Ji looked very relaxed on the surface, but in private, someone has been following this Japanese monk.

Xue Ji, who received the report in the middle of the night, nodded and said, "Let his people board the boat when the time comes, there's no need to expose him."

"But they..."

Xue Ji shook his head and signaled his subordinates not to be too vigilant, "Don't worry, these people arranged by the Japanese monk will take the same boat as me. When the time comes, I will let them enter the Central Plains, and they won't even want to come back after being killed."

"Yes."

"One more thing. We found other ships during the trial voyage recently. We suspect that one of our lost ships just didn't approach. When Fang saw our ship, he diverted away."

Hearing the report, Xue Ji said in a low voice, "Don't bother with him, His Royal Highness Jin Wang has already sent a letter to make arrangements for the lost ship, we don't have to worry, they don't dare to make mistakes."

Changan

After recuperating for half a month, Chu Suiliang finally returned to the court. The first problem he had to face was the situation in the West. Dashi is now preparing to fight Rome. It seems that Rome’s Eastern Expedition will take a while It will not stop. Originally, North Korea and China had planned for this business route leading to the West. The current changes in the situation have made the situation in the West even more complicated.

Chu Suiliang sat in Zhongshu Province and watched the report on the situation in the West sent by Tubo County. The conflict between Persia and Zhu became more and more intense. Now the Persian envoy was in a hurry at the post, asking why His Majesty Tang did not see him several times.

"Let's leave that Persian envoy alone for now." Chu Suiliang said calmly, "Three days later, the first bank in Chang'an will open. I'm going to see Gu Qing."

The Central Secretariat was very busy, and some officials nodded in agreement while busy with the matter at hand.

Department of Maritime Trade

This is the first time for Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu to come here. Originally, they thought that the Maritime Trade Department was just an idler, but they didn't expect it to be so busy here. The two of them were very busy when they first arrived at the Maritime Trade Department. The Maritime Trade Department will start the second South China Sea Cruise, this time the cruise will go all the way to the border of Zhu, laying the foundation for the western layout.

Li Zhi intends to recruit civilian husbands again, and will send ships to the South China Sea to cruise in summer.

While Xu Jingzong was very busy, he was very interested in the huge chart hanging on the lobby wall of the Maritime Trade Department, and he had to look at it every time he passed by.

Li Yifu secretly asked Xu Jingzong, "How did you draw this chart? The map is not surprising. How did you get this chart?"

"How do I know?" Xu Jingzong sorted out the file.

Shangguanyi, who is also in the Department of Maritime Trade, looked at Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu who had integrated into the place so quickly and said with a smile, "This is actually the chart that Gu Qing handed over to the Department of Maritime Trade. It is not yet known whether this chart is accurate or not. , but the islands in a part of the East China Sea can be corrected, very accurate, but the part of the South China Sea has not been checked yet, and it will be fine when the waterway is determined this summer."

"It's really powerful." Xu Jingzong looked at the chart, "There has always been a place called Ya Haijiao. Is there really a place called Ya Haijiao in this world?"

"Who knows." Li Yifu also said.

Gu family

Gu Qing met with Chu Suiliang and listened to him about the current situation in the West, but he got a pleasant surprise, that is Rome, the history of ancient Rome is actually full of legends, and there were many famous people, but ancient Rome was somewhat different to some extent. It’s too bloody. In this era, there is indeed an ancient Roman expedition. It should stop when it hits Dashi. Gu Qing doubts how much influence his butterfly will have.

The prosperity of the Central Plains has affected Tubo, Persia, and Zhu. Once the ancient Romans knew that there was such a rich country in the East, would these Romans increase their efforts to conquer the East? Hundreds of schools, Rome is a country that advocates strength.

"Do you have any opinion on Rome?" Chu Suiliang asked.

"Be careful, don't be careless." Gu Qing said, "This country is now the most powerful country in the West, and we are paying close attention to their movements."

Chu Suiliang continued, "The bank is about to open. When can you deposit your money into the bank?"

Chapter 978 Car?

"Don't worry, I will deposit the money in the bank after opening." Gu Qing nodded and said.

"That's good." Chu Suiliang nodded and said, "With your support, the bank can develop as we want. Now, what should be banned in various counties and counties, if nothing happens, there will be more than ten banks one after another in half a year. It covers more than a dozen counties in the Tang Dynasty."

Listening to Chu Suiliang's words, Gu Qing continued, "There is something I want to tell you in advance."

"But it doesn't matter."

"A few more banks can be set up along the coast and in the south of the Yangtze River. If necessary in the future, the South China Sea will become a very prosperous place. It can be used as a port for the Tang Dynasty. After the development of the South China Sea is completed, the Lingnan area needs to be well developed."

"Lingnan?" Chu Suiliang said, "Lingnan is full of mountains and forests. If you want to build a big city there, it will take three to five years."

Indeed, as Chu Suiliang said, it would not be possible without three or five years. Today’s Lingnan has not yet been developed, and there is no so-called official road and avenue in the depths of Lingnan connecting the Tang Dynasty. Gu Qing thought about these things and said, "I will take care of this. I built a few roads around the village last year, and now I want to build a few more roads."

"Why?"

"Transportation, if there is a land route by water, we must pay close attention." Gu Qingchang sighed, "It's all for business, and I want to do this business with Chaozhong."

"Is there a lot of profit?" Chu Suiliang asked.

"Not much, but the kind that flows slowly and slowly," Gu Qing said with a smile.

"I have to think about it." Chu Suiliang stood up and said, "As long as you can deposit the money in the bank, as for whether to build the road, the court will make a decision. If you, Gu Qing, want to build the road, the court will not Intervene, I'll go back first."

"No." Gu Qing waved his hand and said.

After Chu Suiliang left, Fan Jian came to Gu Qing's side and said, "The bank will open in three days. The Maritime Trade Department has already started preparing for the trip to the South China Sea. His Royal Highness King Jin is looking for someone to lead the team. And after the Persian envoy enters Chang'an, Your Majesty Never summoned."

"Why did Rome pop up at this juncture?" Gu Qing was still thinking about this matter. Rome is a difficult country to deal with. Rome has had its ups and downs in the long river of history, but it can always rise again. This country is the same as the Central Plains. It has a very strong vitality. Now that Datang is deploying to the West for the sake of business, it is not a good thing that Rome comes to interfere at this time.

The porter came back and reported, "Patriarch, Mr. Cheng is here."

Cheng Chumo is here?Gu Qing quickly said, "Please come in quickly."

Cheng Chumo swaggered into the house, "Gu Qing, the academy has made a car, let's take a look together?"
