Chapter 221 The last few batches of envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the concept of sea trade
When we were receiving the large gentry and households in the Xusi area, another incident also attracted Li Tianqu’s attention: under the jurisdiction of Sizhou, there were also many villages composed of Silla expatriates.
In fact, in Mizhou under the Taining Army, Wang Shifan was in charge of Dengzhou under the Ziqing Army, and according to Li Tianqu’s thoughts, the next step was also planned to be taken over by Haizhou under the Haizhou. In addition to a large number of Silla expatriates, there were more Japanese people who went to business than in other regions. However, before Li Tianqu started to deal with this phenomenon, Zhu Xuan joined forces with Shi Pu to attack the Taining Army with great momentum...
During the war, any plan of steady development was nonsense. Now that we have freed up our hands and seeking huge economic benefits, we cannot delay it.
As for the reason why the Silla settlement area in Jiangsu Shengliang Coastal Area in later generations was formed in Shandong, it was also due to the fact that it was the Silla general named Zhang Baogao who served as a military academy in the military vassal states.
Tracing the origin, when the Tang Dynasty joined forces with Silla to destroy Baekje, and after Goguryeo, a large number of Goguryeo people became native to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Ziqing Army vassal state Yu Wang Jingwu and Wang Shifan and his son had several generations before it. It was just that the Goguryeo general Li Shidao was awarded the blessing of the vassal state because his grandfather made contributions to quelling the Anshi Rebellion and was in charge of the vassal state. Although he was already a Tang Dynasty, it seems that Li Shidao still deeply hated the hatred of Silla's demise. Therefore, he took the lead and instructed him to indulge pirates to the coastal areas of Silla to plunder people and sell them as slaves in the Tang Dynasty...
Goguryeo and Silla, who have been naturalized in the Tang Dynasty, are still enemies of the world. Li Tianquxin said that some groups in the peninsula countries in later generations even recklessly said that the ancestors called Huanshi... You may not be sure that your true ancestors have been plundered and trafficked by Goguryeo in this season and have been used as slaves for several generations.
After Zhang Baogao joined the army, he discovered this phenomenon and later returned to Silla to report. Silla allowed Zhang Baogao to form Qinghai Town to recruit more than 10,000 troops and defeat several pirates. The Tang court also issued an edict to prohibit the sale of Silla slaves. Zhang Baogao then formed a fleet to travel between Silla, the Tang Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms of Japan to conduct maritime trade. Although Zhang Baogao was suspected by the King of Silla thirty or forty years ago, he was assassinated by the King of Silla, but now a large-scale pirate group is prohibited, and the Yellow Sea waters lead to Silla, and the sea routes to Japan are still open.
Li Tianqu knew that Zhang Baogao was the number one person in later generations. It seemed that Korea praised him very well, but except for Li Shunchen, he could finally change his own person to fight to the death... After all, the only person who appeared in China, Japan, and South Korea led the maritime trade. Zhang Baogao had two tricks.
At least he went through the work of the Datang vassal states, returned to China to fight pirates, liberated the captured slaves, immediately started to trade at sea, Jingping connected the sea transportation and trade routes between the eastern coastal states of the Tang Dynasty, the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and even the Kyushu Island of Japan. Li Tianquxin said that this was probably considered as a tree planted by the predecessors and the later generations enjoyed the cool.
Therefore, Li Tianqu immediately sent clerks to release the voluntary movement, intending to open trade ports in coastal areas under the rule of the vassal states.
However, most of the overseas Chinese people summoned by Li Tianqu this time were not Li Zheng in the Silla village, but also merchants operated by small-bull. However, with the gathering of Silla expatriates in Si, Mi, Deng, Haizhou and other places, as well as the relative frequent maritime trade, this will also attract another group that frequently traveled on the sea during the Tang Dynasty: the Tang envoys.
Although due to the Huang Chao Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty is now separatist and the current situation is turbulent, and the international students who went to Tang to study in Silla have also set off a large-scale wave of return to the country. However, some people still serve in the vassal states and prefectures and county government offices in various places.
For example, although Cui Zhiyuan, the most famous envoy of the Tang Dynasty in Silla, passed the imperial examination in the late Tang Dynasty, he chose to stay in Central China and could no longer receive funding as a student of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, he traveled around to make a living. Finally, he was appointed as a county magistrate by the Tang court for three years, but Huang Chao broke Chang'an. He worked as a staff member in the Gaopian vassal states in Huainan and wrote the "Expression of Huang Chao" that was passed down from all over the world. Until Gaopian was confused and superstitious about alchemy, Cui Zhiyuan had to bid farewell and return to his hometown with the title of the third rank of the Tang Dynasty. This was what happened a few years ago.
At this time, in the hall of the Orthodontics, Li Tianqu sat on his head, looking around at the eight people who lived in Mi, Si, Xu and other prefectures. He was summoned to meet the eight people, including six of the Sillas, and only two of them.
The students who were originally from Silla's Tang envoys, their clothes were no different from those of the Tang Dynasty scholars; and the two Japanese origins were at least in the early days of the Heian era, and most of the men's hairstyles were like the buns they wore during the Tang and Song dynasties, which were not as awkward as the Yueda head, who had to shaved all their foreheads and tops of their heads later...
After all, the frequency of sending Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty was nearly twice in three years. It was very common for staying in office for more than ten or twenty years. Japan only sent Tang envoys once every twenty years on average. As for the overseas Chinese in Xu Si and other places, most of the maritime merchants were still Silla people, and those who could be summoned by Li Tianqu were all from 800 students who sent Tang envoys. Most of them studied in the Imperial College, and their speech and deeds seemed even more polite;
As for the two Japanese visitors, it was purely because Zhang Baogao led the East Asian waters trade and tasted the sweetness. The Jiuzhou merchants who traveled to the eastern coastal areas of Central China and Turkey were inevitably more versatile in temperament.
Therefore, this time, a visit to Li Tianqu was also a visit by a Silla envoy named Jin Jingde to the Tang Dynasty. He studied and lived in the Tang Dynasty for seven or eight years. His accent was also true to his Chinese official dialect:
"After being summoned by the commander Jie, Xiao Ke lived in Lianshui, Sizhou, but he had heard that the commander Jie was very angry with the country. The dragon and tiger changes, and destroyed the ugliness. He even killed Huang Chao, a thief who occupied the palace, and swept across the palace, and destroyed the ugliness. His reputation must be as good as thunder. Now he is lucky to pay homage to the Lord of Knowledge. He is afraid, and he calls us to come. There will be a big deal. I hope that the commander Jie will tell you."
Li Tianqu was stunned at first, thinking that the Silla man spoke Chinese with such a strong and sensible spirit than me. He then coughed lightly and said, "Look at how old you should be, you don't have to be so polite. You have come to Tang Tu sincerely to learn, seeking to become a senior official, and shining the lintel of his hometown, but how can the whole world be shattered? Although Huang Chao was eliminated, the Central Plains towns were divided and soldiers were scrambling to fight for war. It is really a pity to seek fame and fame in the court.
As a result, I studied hard in the Middle Earth, but I was rarely hired by the court. I only went around in several military prefectures such as Xu, Si, and Mi, and buried my knowledge in vain. This is not a long-term solution, but I don’t know what you plan in the future?”
It would be fine if Li Tianqu didn't ask. The envoys from Silla, including Jin Jingde, were also sad. Some of them had really made their first official career and became civil servants in local prefectures, but they did not have the good fortune of their predecessors, and were greedy for such chaotic times as the end of the Tang Dynasty?
Cui Zhiyuan, who was outstanding in talent and had a wide range of friends, was not as reused by Gao Pian, the governor of Huainan in the first few years... He also entrusted the blessing of his compatriot Zhang Baogao, who could save some wealth through the sea trade business. But originally, he wanted to absorb the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and it was best to be an official in Zhongtu for about ten years. Having such experience in Silla was equivalent to a layer of real gold, which was a shortcut to be highly valued. But now he started a business in Tangtu, so how could he have the right to go back to meet his family and elders?
What's more, since Li Tianqu is now able to destroy Shi Pu who is in charge of Xu Si, it is difficult to guarantee that other more violent warlords will not invade the counties, towns and villages where they are currently living... Jin Jingde sighed, and he couldn't help but smile and shake his head and replied:
"Xiao Ke is ashamed. Although he is determined to study hard in the Celestial Empire, he is unable to become an official in the office and gain fame. He is ashamed of his relatives... Although he is now a good leader, he is safe and safe in the people, but as Li Jieshuai said, today, the wars are connected in various places. Xiao Ke lives in Lianshui, and is afraid of being unrestrained... Although he is now in a dilemma, he has no face to meet his hometown and has no honor to return to his hometown. Although he is not able to return to his hometown, his intention to miss his home is really difficult to calm down. Therefore, Xiao Ke is now thinking about whether he is ashamed to return home."
Li Tianqu nodded, and then asked again: "I heard that the Silla Kingdom uses holy bones, real bones, six-headed ranks, five-headed ranks, and four-headed ranks... The bones are divided into the hereditary classes such as Wang Zhou, gentry, good men, and jail, and the three major surnames of Pu, Xi and Jin. Since the surname is Jin, I must have been from a prominent family in Silla, right?"
Jin Jingde's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he quickly replied: "Jie Shuai is indeed knowledgeable. Xiao Kemeng's ancestor Fuyin, his father is in charge of Baocheng County, and his brother goes to the capital of Jincheng to serve in the capital of Beijing... It is indeed my family of Silla."
After hearing this, Li Tianqu smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, if you really miss your hometown and will return to Silla sooner or later, I have another thing to ask: Even if you return home, you can reunite with your relatives, and now you are making a living with the sea trade in the coastal military state of the Tang Dynasty... are you still planning to continue doing it?"
