I guess no one knew that the origin of Japanese civilization was in Kyushu, and then as Emperor Jinwu advanced to the east, it began to move towards Honshu Island. The evidence is also obvious, that is, before the Edo Shogunate, the development of Kanto was not very good.

In China, myths are conventionally regarded as history. In an era without words, history can only be passed down by word of mouth and eventually evolved into myths; Japan is really a boy and a girl from the pre-Qin period, so naturally it will inherit this tradition.

Japanese mythology is highly likely to be the history of Japan's era without writing.

For example, Liu Tao remembers that he had checked the legend of Amaterasu before, and the scholars there also suspected that it was referring to Himeshikhu.

What a coincidence, at this time, it should be around the peak of Beimihu's power. According to history, after a while, she would also send envoys to visit. At that time, the Han Dynasty had been usurped by Cao Pi, so Beimihu was appointed as the king of Wei.

Calculate your age, I should be in my thirties or forties? Not to mention my son, I guess I should have all my grandson.

After all, it is a formal visit. Even a remote small country where you don’t know where it is, the monarch of the Han Dynasty should be treated solemnly. It is not only polite, but also more importantly, deterrence.

The messenger came in with the envoy, and was surrounded by Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords. The messenger's first feeling was the strong murderous intent and fighting spirit.

On the surface, I am quite calm, but in fact I am a little afraid, or awe!

At this time, Japan was separated from the Han Dynasty by a Tsushima Strait. Using Tsushima Island as an intermediary, it was not difficult to cross the sea during a calm period. They could cross the sea, and the Han Dynasty could also cross the sea...

At the same time, the weapons, armor, supplies and even luxury goods of the Han Dynasty were all needed by Japan. Even the lowest-end bronzes could make the Evil Ma Tai Kingdom invincible.

At least, in the early years, the Slave Kingdom resisted them for a long time with the bronze sword stabbed by the Han Dynasty. I wonder how many soldiers from the Evil-Ma Tai Kingdom died in the battle to fight against the Slave Kingdom.

"Water Kingdom, Jian Yu Lei? Meet? Great Han, Emperor!" The envoy came to Liu Tao and greeted him in a bumpy and unauthentic Chinese dialect.

With a little Qin opera? It doesn't look like... Liu Tao immediately remembered it? This is the elegant language of Qi, which is the Mandarin of Qi in the Warring States Period. I met Kong Rong a few years ago, and his speech was probably this accent, at least similar.

Think about it, too? Xu Fu is said to be from Shandong? He is a native of Qi. He is naturally the boys and girls under his command, and of course he cannot speak the official language of Qin or the elegant language of the Han Dynasty, but it is most likely the elegant language of Qi.

As for why this Japanese envoy knows Chinese, it should have learned it from people who understand Chinese.

For example, the Han people who accidentally got involved in the storm and waves and drifted to Jiuzhou Island. For example, the Chinese people who came to the Han Dynasty before and learned Chinese dialect. Anyway, since they were going to serve as a mission to the Han Han Dynasty? Then the Mandarin of the Han Dynasty must be learned.

"Jianyulei? Is it pronounced like this?" Liu Tao looked at the Japanese envoy with interest.

"It's..." the latter replied quickly.

The Han Dynasty official language pronounced in Qiluya language... Jianyu Lei should be the best transliteration, sounds like the genus Rui? Or "General" Lei. Liu Tao thinks? He should be introducing himself? He is the Japanese, general, Lei.

After all, it is normal for the envoy to come to visit him, and it is normal for the country to have an official position after the name of the country. It is said quickly, so it sounds like Jian Yu Lei.

"Are you a general in Japan?" Liu Tao asked tentatively.

"Yes, the Sun Ling Girl's Sect, General!" Jian Yulei nodded, or a general named 'Lei'. Of course, it's still a little bit of whether it's called 'Lei', after all, it's just the result of transliteration.

Considering the translation issue, especially later generations advocated "trust, elegant and elegant", it is not surprising that there is a translation like Jian Yulei.

It is also possible that Cao Pi listened to his introduction and thought it was Jian Yulei, so he gave him a name. The evidence is that Jian Yulei's son Jian Yu's name Fang also used Jian Yu as his surname. Problem in this era, Japanese surnames should be incomplete, right?

In history, there were basically only two fathers and sons. It gave people the feeling that the surname "gived the surname to King Wei" was more likely than the original surname.

"So I should call you General Lei, right?" Liu Tao continued to ask, and he didn't want to give him a surname.

"Yes!" Lei nodded, not understanding why the Han Emperor was struggling with this.

"Okay, General Lei, this time you came from Japan and traveled thousands of miles, what's the matter?" Liu Tao asked formally.

"Foreign ministers, bring, gifts. Hope, the man, have a good relationship!" Lei said with a bumpy look.

Liu Tao looked at Lu Wen of the Ministry of Rites, and the latter nodded, saying that the Japanese did bring gifts. He also compared a finger to mean that it was average. Perhaps it seemed very expensive and even rare to them, but for the big man, it might be average.

However, diplomacy cannot be so calculated. It is okay to be less favorable and affection-oriented. As long as the interaction between the two sides is profitable, then you can have a deep friendship.

The question is, what benefits can Japan bring to itself? Population? Forget it, even if the large army is organized there, probably no one will like the Japanese girl. In theory, ordinary Japanese girl is the real natives of the Japanese. Only the nobles, that is, the imported population, can be close to the aesthetic of China.

However, the imported population and local population have been reproducing for so many years, and their appearance is probably far from that of the local people in China. Liu Tao also has to worry that intermarriage with the Japanese will lower the average height of China.

There are quite a lot of metals in Japan, such as gold mines, silver mines, and there seem to be a lot of copper mines. It just so happens that China lacks copper. Considering the subsequent economic development, to be honest, Liu Tao plans to cast gold and silver into Wuzhu coins.

For example, a silver Wuzhu coin is used as ten copper Wuzhu coins. A gold Wuzhu coin is used as one hundred copper Wuzhu coins. It can even be minted solid gold and silver coins. For example, a silver coin is worth fifty copper Wuzhu coins, a gold coin is worth five hundred copper Wuzhu coins, etc.

This will be discussed with the Ministry of Revenue and cooperated with Dahan Bank under Liu Hua before it can be launched.

There are not so many gold or silver mines in China, so you can consider obtaining them from Xiematai. This is obviously more valuable than seafood, fur, or even slaves.

"It's okay to have a good deal, but I need to set up a trading terminal in Xiematai, north and south." Liu Tao replied.

"That's what? Foreign minister, stupid..." Lei was a little confused, and then realized something and quickly lowered his head to apologize.

"It is the place where the ship is allowed to dock and trade with you." Liu Tao explained.

"Han, trade, welcome!" Lei said in surprise. The news was so good. His purpose was to find a way to get some of the weapons and armor of the Han Dynasty.

"In order to protect the trade terminal, I have to send someone to guard it." Liu Tao reminded.

"It should be, it should be!" Lei did not refuse, and even thought it was better.
