Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Page 2465

Traveling over mountains and valleys to Zhejiang,

They traveled north along the Grand Canal.

They were very anxious.

Upon reaching the north, the rivers froze.

They even braved the snow to travel to Kaifeng.

Yuanxin, who defeated the other monks and became the chief envoy,

He said to Oe Takeyuki with deep emotion:

"The Emperor of Ming is the reincarnation of the Demon King!"

"When we stopped at a temple in Fujian,"

"The monks there lamented the government's suppression of Buddhism,"

“Temples were demolished and temple property confiscated everywhere.”

"Upon arriving in Kaifeng, even the legendary Taiping Xingguo Temple had no monks left."

Oe Kojun said, "We should not meddle in the affairs of other countries."

"The monk can assist the Emperor,"

"To defeat the demon army of Iwami Province with supreme magical power?"

Yuanxin fell silent.

Emperor Toba also contacted them.

The three major mage legions in the Kinki region,

They all evaded the question when faced with this thorny issue.

It is true that these monks possessed warrior monks.

But they only put in their effort when it comes to seizing territory.

They occasionally bully ordinary people.

Taira no Tadamori's 30,000-strong army was defeated.

How dare the monks send out warrior monks?

After the snow cleared and the sun shone, the Japanese envoys...

Allowed to stroll around Tokyo

An official from the Court of State Ceremonial accompanied (monitored) the entire process.

Oe Kojun, who was well-versed in Chinese classics, history, philosophy, and literature from a young age,

After wandering around the city for a while,

Gradually, feelings of inferiority arose.

He said to Monk Yuanxin, "I was in a hurry the whole way."

"We did not get to see the cities and towns along the way."

"Today we visited Kaifeng,"

"Only then did I realize the prosperity of China as described in the books,"

"Words cannot describe even a fraction of it."

The round-faced monk nodded: "Indeed wealthy."

Jiang Weishun, who is less than 1.4 meters tall,

Looking at the peddlers and laborers on the street, he sighed again:

"All Chinese are tall, which is the difference in the superiority or inferiority of this race."

"When two countries are at war, even without magic,"

"The Ming people were tall and large, and wore strong armor."

"Even the Great Warriors are no match for us."

Oeko Weishun's biological father,

After all, he was the last military strategist of the Heian period.

Moreover, he left behind military treatises for his descendants.

As the second son of Masafusa Ōe,

Although Oe Koreyu had never led troops,

But his basic military strategic vision,

In fact, he surpassed many heavily armored samurai who led troops into battle.

Chapter 3234 Prosperity

He observed the level of social prosperity in China along the way.

Then I saw the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Finally, they simply observed ordinary Chinese people.

The conclusion reached was almost hopeless.

Faced with a powerful China,

Japan is like an ant.

A peddler carrying a load on a shoulder pole,

I walked past Oe Miyuki.

"Hey!"

The vendor glanced curiously at the Japanese delegation.

He then let out a strange laugh.

They were probably amused by the group of monkeys dressed in silk.

Oe Kojun heard the laughter.

While feeling angry,

And then, for no apparent reason, I felt inferior.

In the afternoon, we returned to Sifangguan.

Oeko Weishun began recording his observations of the day.

As I was writing, an idea suddenly came to me:

Japanese nobles could choose daughters from their branch families.

They borrowed seeds from the Tang people who came from overseas.

Children conceived through artificial insemination

Each family's main branch can choose to intermarry with their respective members.

Gradually improve the racial disadvantages of the Japanese aristocracy.

Intermarriage is not even necessary.

The main family and the branch family engage in direct close marriage.

We must not allow the superior bloodline we have borrowed to flow out.

Several days later,

They were received by the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The palace guards were all selected from the best of the best.

He was unusually tall.

As Oe Kojun walked past a guard...

I discovered that I was only as tall as the other person's armpit.

This further solidified her idea of ​​using sperm donation.

.....

"The Iwami Silver Mine has been found,"

"In the short term, there should be no longer any worries about silver scarcity,"

Wen Huanzhang said,

"Wait until the first batch of silver is shipped back,"

"Increase the minting of silver coins."

"The mint is running at full speed,"

"Distributed in major cities across all provinces of the country."

"Anyway, wealthy households will absorb and hoard them,"

"There will be no inflation at all."

Zhao Yuan said, "With silver as backing, we can try issuing paper money."

Wen Huanzhang laughed and said, "There are silver mines on Tsushima Island too."

"This does surprise me a bit."

Zhao Yuan said, "I plan to send a few civil officials over there."

"Manage Tsushima Island and Iwami Ginzan."

"Their long-standing relationship with the local garrison is bound to create conflicts,"

"This situation is irreconcilable."

Wen Huanzhang said, "I am not afraid of conflicts between civil and military officials."

"I'm afraid that civil and military officials will collude to deceive the court."

"Or it's one-sided,"

"Civil officials completely suppressed military men,"

"Military men completely suppress civil officials,"

"This could turn the imperial court into a blind man."

"Therefore, a balance of power between civil and military officials is best,"

"I can accept it even if we hold each other back."

“Indeed.” Zhao Yuan nodded.

Wen Huanzhang said, "The policy of 'equalizing land tax and poll tax' has been steadily implemented in the capital region, Hubei, Hunan, and Hebei."

"And it has achieved remarkable results."

"Let's continue promoting it next year,"

"We'll choose Sichuan and Henan."

Zhao Yuan muttered to himself, "I'm afraid this is going to cause quite a bit of trouble."

Wen Huanzhang laughed and said, "There won't be any war next year, so what's there to be afraid of?"

“Those who disobey will have their entire family exiled to Youzhou.”

"They urgently need people over there."

Zhao Yuan said, "Criminals from Henan should be exiled to Youzhou, while criminals from Sichuan should be exiled to the south."

"Nowadays in Sichuan, even Yibin is full of ethnic minorities,"
