Chapter 54 Gifts

In the east suburbs of Xiyang City, north of the Hulin Army camp, and in the horse farm, Yuwen Wen was taking "international friends" to see the horses. This was the herd of horses he had cultivated for huge sums of money, and is now being used to set up a wide range.

After making a fortune, Yuwen Wen waved his hand and asked Malu and others to choose the stallion. He would take away any horses if he saw it. A total of twenty horses were considered as a gift to the Minister Su and I of Japan.

That being said, it is impossible for Dahuang Malu to choose horses by himself. Later, Yuwen Wen chose ten pairs of mares and gave them to international friends to get them back for breeding.

Will giving high-quality stallions to Japan feel like they are selling their country?

I thought too much, and taught them fish instead of fishing, and sent horses not to herders. Without the correct cultivation knowledge, even if these horses arrived in Japan safely, they would not breed for several generations, and their bloodline was diluted by the short Japanese horses.

This is Yuwen Wen's private ranch. The ranch manager Ma Wu was leading someone to help the ten pairs of mares wash away. The partners who were together day and night were about to travel to Japan. Ma Wu was like a mother who sent her daughter to marry, and she was a little reluctant to leave.

This time, Yuwen Wen not only gave away horses, but also gave me a carefully crafted Su Iron Knife, several pieces of Huangzhou fine cloth, several pieces of tiger skin, several kilograms of precious medicinal materials, and several glass jewelry. Of course, the finale is also indispensable.

A glass mirror with low cost but worth thousands of slabs, three sides.

Such a generous move made the Japanese people like Malu and Dahuang excited, especially the glazed mirror, which was tightly held in their hands and did not dare to let go, for fear of falling to the ground and breaking.

They knew that the glass mirrors in the Central Plains were worth a lot of money. Duke Zhu took three sides when he took action. It was indeed a powerful country and his actions were extraordinary!

The person who received the gift was excited, and the person who gave the gift was a little excited. Yuwen Wen thought: Su Tie Knife, Tiancongyun Sword; Glazed Mirror, Bata Mirror; A certain hook-shaped tadpole-shaped glass necklace, Eight-foot Qiong Gouyu. The three magical artifacts are all alive!

Of course, it was just a thought. He didn't need such small means to prove anything. It was purely to show that he was very polite and to make the people from Japan firmly believe that it was right to cooperate with Duke Zhu of Zhou, that's right!

Of course, the imperial officials who accompanied the Japanese to the south this time would not be in vain to return empty-handed. There must be some meanings. Duke Zhu received them well, and there were also many popular experiences.

These officials were accompanied throughout the process. Yuwen Wen was to avoid giving people a handle. He had a strong contact with the Japanese and was under the supervision of the court, and he would never leave any excuses to understand foreign countries.

This is also the effect of the hope of the Great Wilderness Malu. Japanese Minister Su Mu Mazi has always wanted to strengthen official exchanges with Zhou in order to add a strong mark to his political achievements.

According to the talk between the two sides, the Great Wasteland Malu said, in August last year, the king of Japan passed away, and the young new king did not understand the matter of succession to the throne, and the battle between Minister Su Mumazi and Dalian Folk Guardian began to heat up.

Su Imazi's wife is the sister of the Mushiya, but this does not mean that the two clans will live in peace, nor does it mean that the forces behind them will shake hands and talk about joy.

Whoever controls the king of Japan will control the government. The representative of the old nobles, the representative of the Fubu clan, the new nobles and the representative of the people from the ferry, is about not far from the moment they meet.

At this critical moment, Su and Ma Zi can make a breakthrough in diplomacy. Although it is not a timely help, it can at least add icing on the cake. Of course, this has nothing to do with the Zhou Kingdom. Not many Zhou people will care about the situation in Japan.

For the minister of Zhou, Japan was poor in resources and could not see any need to deepen communication. It was just a small country. The envoys sent to the past only wanted some rewards and wanted some titles, so they could just send them away.

The experience of Duke Yuwen Wen of the Duke of Zhu is just a story that adds to a curious story. In fact, many people in the court think that the Duke of Zhu and the Japanese exchanges, in addition to reflecting the credit of "repaying kindness", was purely idle and had nothing to do.

However, there are also many Buddhists who believe in Buddhism. They think that the strong support of Duke Zhu to promote Buddhism in Japan is a great good deed. With the east wind of the imperial court to formally receive people from Japan, the fact that Japan urgently needs monks to spread the Dharma has begun to spread.

"Duke Guo, the village master of Sima is very grateful for the help of Guo. This time, Mr. Sima came to the Anyuan area just to stay in the Central Plains and visit the jungles from all over the world."

"It's okay, hasn't the court allowed it? Mr. Sima can feel at ease to travel. Of course, if you need any help in the southern part of Shannan, let's send people to accompany you even if you speak."

"Thank you for your help."

In the dormitory of the horse farm, Yuwen Wen was chatting with Dahuang Malu and Sima Nai, and of course the officials were also present. The previous "reluctant request" of Dahuang Malu was to let Sima Nai stay in the south of the mountain and visit the famous ancient temples.

The Zhou court knew about this, so of course he didn't think there was any problem. He asked Dahuang Malu to have an interview with Duke Yuwen Wen of Zhu on his own, and there was naturally no problem with Yuwen Wen.

He knew that Simada and others sent their sons to Central Plains to explore the famous temples sincerely and "recruited" monks to travel to Japan to preach the Dharma. Since he made up his mind to help Japan build a "human Buddhist country", he certainly needs strong support.

Simada and other people are a lot of age, and his son Simana is already close to his forties. It is a bit inappropriate to call him "Sima Langjun", so Yuwen Wen directly called him "Mr. Sima."

Although the court allowed Sima Nai and others to "visit" the country, in fact, the officials below were treated politely. If they wanted to be convenient for action, they had to have noble people to help them. Yuwen Wenyi had no choice but to be their backer.

Promoting Buddhism? OK, that is strongly supported!

In particular, we should learn from the Southern Dynasties temples, occupy a lot of land, hide tenants, not pay rent or grain, open quality warehouses and put usury loans, melt copper coins to cast Buddha statues. This advanced experience must be promoted in Japan.

We must let every family of Japanese people worship and recite Buddhist scriptures, and there are Buddhist temples, monks and nuns everywhere.

Dahuang Malu and others went to see the horses. Hao Wu Bo, who accompanied the guests, took the opportunity to ask Yuwen Wen: "The general manager, there is something unknown to the subordinate officials."

Seeing Yuwen Wen nodding, Hao Wu Bo continued to ask: "Water is thousands of miles away from the East China Sea, why should the general manager work hard to interact with him?"

"It's all business."

It was straightforward enough that it choked Hao Wu Bo to make many problems go untouched, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"What is the use of this sulfur from Japan? This product also exists in the Central Plains. Besides... Besides, the sulfur that Japan started to transport in the future was also bought by the imperial court."

What Hao Wu Bo implied was that Yuwen Wen was busy with both giving gifts and helping, but in the end he benefited the court, and he felt that he was different from his usual style.

"Isn't that all? The court bought it only if it is necessary. Of course, I don't know what to buy it for."

Yuwen Wen opened his eyes and told lies, regardless of whether Hao Wubo believed it or not. He continued: "Isn't it natural to be a minister to share the worries of the court? There are too many round trip ships and after getting familiar with the route, you can still do big business in the future."

Hao Wu Bo wanted to say what good things can be found in the ghost place in Japan, but he really didn't understand this island country in a corner of the East China Sea, so he didn't dare to say anything, but he could hear Yuwen Wen's meaning in his words.

Could it be that you want to make the transaction to Japan? This is too... I'm too flirting with the original intention!

"There is a saying that there is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, there will naturally be roads."

Yuwen Wen began to recite famous quotes and then continued to explain: "The sea route between the Central Plains and Japan is very difficult, but is it really difficult for ships to cross the East China Sea? No."

"The world is bustling, all for profit, and all for profit."

"Everyone knows that Japan has poor products. If it were not forcibly, it would never risk going east. The court needed the sulfur from Japan, so naturally there were ships willing to take the risk of doing this business. After a few more trips, the route would naturally become familiar."

Hao Wu Bo didn't believe it, and he didn't believe that Yuwen Wen would organize people to go to Japan to promote Buddhism with a sense of "respect". He knew that this person was not a Buddhist, but when he saw that Yuwen Wen was confident, he didn't ask so much.
