Chapter 1243 Qin Family Enters Japan
The 21st year of Zhenguan, spring.
On the banks of Hakata Bay, the newly completed Dazaifu of the West Kyūkyū was the King of the West Kyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyūkyū
When he was referring to the Empress of the Gu, Japan began to innovate comprehensively. Under the leadership of the mainland's Suwo clan, the regent Prince Shengto reached an agreement with the ruling Suwo Mazi to fully implement the new policy. Since then, although the domestic struggle in Japan has become more and more intense, the pace of innovation has not stopped.
After several empresses, in the 19th year of Zhenguan, the eldest brother and the prince launched a coup and assassinated the powerful minister Su Wo into the deer. Su Wo's Eagle burned himself to the emperor, and the Empress Huangji gave way to her brother Qing and called Emperor Xiaode.
Emperor Xiaodeyu gave the title of Emperor Huangji as the emperor's grandmother, and the eldest brother of the middle master who planned the palace transformation was made the crown prince and actually took power.
The eldest brother of Nakama appointed Abe Nakamaro who participated in the coup as the left minister, Su Ishikawa Ma as the right minister, and Nakama Kama as the inner minister.
My eldest brother also personally took the letter of state to Luoyang to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and requested that the Tang Dynasty formally enthrone the letter of state.
After warning the civil strife in Japan, the Tang Dynasty court finally issued a letter of enthronement, granting the title of Prince of Light, King of Wa, and granting him the title of Duke of Fusang County, and adding the rank of General of Yi. The Prince of Zhongda was stayed in Luoyang and served the Prince of Tang for one year before returning to the country.
After the eldest brother, Prince Zhongda, who had been in Luoyang for a year, returned to Japan, he carried out a more comprehensive reform of the major political reform initiated by Prince Shengde.
The system of squad, renting and mediocre system, and other systems have accelerated the promotion speed.
The Yamato court also truly began to centralize.
The Kingdom of Japan was divided into five capitals and seven roads, divided into dozens of countries, and each ordered the country to set up counties and the county to set up villages. The jurisdiction was under the jurisdiction of each layer, and the central government had Taizheng officials, which was equivalent to the political affairs hall of the Tang Dynasty, including Taizheng Ministers, left ministers, right ministers, internal ministers and many other cabinet members.
Below it, there are eight provinces, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Style, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Governance, etc.
Locally, each country has a national department and each county has a county department, which stipulates that each country must have a prince as the prefect.
In addition, he also followed the Zhenguan Order of the Tang Dynasty and formulated the "Law" of Japan.
Politically, based on laws and regulations, the centralized system was implemented. In terms of economy, the civil system of the ministry and civil system was abolished and the equal land system was implemented to give the people a squad, and then the rent-in-one system was collected to increase enthusiasm and increase the tax revenue of the court.
At the same time, the Japanese imperial court also learned comprehensively about culture and religion. It not only introduced Confucian Chinese culture, but also introduced the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty. The upper class aristocrats fully learned Han culture, and even the words of the imperial government used Chinese characters. In addition, they fully admired Buddhism and believed in Taoism. There were Buddhist temples and Taoist temples everywhere, and monks and Taoist priests received great privileges.
Every year, Japan sends several envoys to the Tang Dynasty and students who go to the Tang Dynasty to learn the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty.
On the other hand, Japan has also fully opened trade, traded with Tang merchants, and even jointly invested in mining and construction workshops with Tang merchants, which is also in this comprehensive atmosphere of worshipping Tang.
Many of the Japanese kings and ministers of the Yamato court in Japan have been to the Tang Dynasty and have seen the prosperity of the two capitals, so they have long been dissatisfied with the narrow Asuka Kyo. Although Fujiwara Kyo had been newly built before, Fujiwara Kyo still has a small structure.
So after receiving the help of the Qin family, he began to build the Peak Seong Kyoto. After the construction of Peak Seong Kyoto, for trade needs, Dazaifu was established on the banks of Hakata Bay in the important Kazumaki Country of the Sikkaido, known as Yamato Xiong.
Pingchengjing was benchmarked against Luoyang, the Tokyo of the Tang Dynasty, while Dazaifu was benchmarked against Chang'an, the western capital of the Tang Dynasty. Basically, the construction of these two capitals was contracted by the Qin family. From the design drawings to the construction of the Qin family, the Qin family was in charge. The Qin family was able to convince the Japanese to accept the construction plan of these two capitals, but what impressed them the most was that they did not need the Yamato court or the Japanese king to pay a penny. The Qin family helped them build these two capitals, and even said that the Qin family was willing to pay part of the wages for the requisitioned civilians.
This was simply incredible for the King of Japan, especially after seeing the magnificent renderings provided by the Qin family, I could no longer refuse.
Of course, the Qin family did not do good deeds, the Qin family just proposed other conditions for cooperation.
The main one is to obtain the mining and management rights of some mines in Japan. The second is that the Qin family first lends money to the King of Japan, and then the money is dedicated to the construction of Kyoto. The loan has to be paid back, and there is also interest, but relatively speaking, the interest is not high.
The third condition is that the Qin family has reserved a lot of land for themselves in these two capitals, which belong to the Qin family. In the future, the Qin family can develop buildings into residential buildings or shops for sale and rent.
But the King of the Japanese still felt that these conditions were too tempting. After all, for Yamato, who was centralized at the beginning, although Pingcheng Kyoto and Dazaifu were not really imitating Luoyang Chang'an, they were indeed far beyond any of their previous capitals. If they rely on their own skills and money, they would probably be difficult to achieve success for the time being.
But the Qin family’s plan is so tempting now.
So in the end, the Japanese signed a package of agreements with the Qin family, including borrowing, building cities, mining development, and many commercial and trade agreements. The signing was very refreshing, for fear that the Qin family would regret it.
After the agreement was signed, the Qin family kept their word and immediately started to pay the money. The money was just for the King of Japanese, and then the funds were used for the special purpose, and the construction of the two capitals was officially started.
The Qin family sent many specialized technical and management teams to officially start building the city.
On the other hand, the Qin family also began to explore and mine minerals according to the signed mining agreement. In the mining area, the Qin family cooperated with the powerful and powerful people in Japan to provide manpower and security guarantees.
The Qin family also took this opportunity to carry out deeper trade in various parts of Japan, and the trade volume has become increasingly larger in recent years.
It took ten years and consumed countless money, grain and labor. Finally, the Pingcheng Kyoto and Dazaifu were built one after another. After the completion, the Japanese King and the ministers of the Yamato court were very satisfied and moved to Xindu in a hurry.
As for the Qin family, they also sold some of the houses and shops they developed by themselves, and made a fortune. The rest were kept and rented out.
As the Xijing of Japan, Dazaifu was in the country of Tuzuo.
Zi Zhuxiang is an important force in the west of Japan, and it was also an important advance base for Japan to cross sea to conquer Silla and control Renna and other places. During the past, they all went to the peninsula to fight, they were all gathered and prepared for Zhuzi.
Zhuzi Kingdom had a long time ago, and had a powerful force like Xiematai, but it was later conquered by the Yamato court. However, Zhuzi Kingdom was often dissatisfied with it. Several rebellions broke out, but they were eventually put down.
During the reform of the Yamato Dynasty, one of the important ones was to implement the national and county system, which changed the past aristocratic tribe system and the strong Zhuzi Kingdom, because it was far away from the capital and was also an important port port to the peninsula and the Central Plains. Since the prosperity of trade, Zhuzi's status has become increasingly important.
So the Japanese divided the sacred Zi into two, divided it into the sacred former country and the sacred descendant country, and built the Dazai Mansion in front of the sacred, with the prince of Dazhong personally serving as the sacred father.
The Qin family in this city used the original fortress of the Buzio Ono Castle and the Water Castle, and planned a chess-shaped block of about two kilometers square - Dazai Fu Tiaofang, forming a real capital.
The Dazai Government Department and other government agencies were placed in the center of the north of the block. A Suzai Avenue was built directly in front of it. The width was only one-quarter of the original Suzai Street in Chang'an and one-half of the Suzai Street in Pingchengjing. However, at this time, Japan was still the second widest street in the middle of the country, famous for its famous Nishikaido.
Behind the straight and wide street are residential buildings, and there are also street shops along the street.
In addition, as the political and economic center in the west, there are also specially set up schools for the children of officials to study, Guanyin Temple, Prajna Temple, and Prajna Temple for the Japanese kings and nobles to practice Zen, as well as welcome hotels specially prepared for the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.
Almost all the facilities in the Miyagi are available.
From urban layout to house design, almost all are Chang'an style. The roof is covered with lotus-patterned roof tiles with the same lotus pattern as the capital, rows of them; the "ghost tiles" (beast-headed tiles) covered the roof are exactly like faces that the Japanese once saw in the Tang Dynasty, and they are intertwined and look down at the crowd.
The eldest brother, Prince Nakada, personally served as the Dazai, responsible for the entire Saikkaido country and counties, as well as trade with the Tang Dynasty, Baekje, and Silla countries. At the same time, he sent his son to serve as the prefect of Chuqian.
"I heard that the head of the Qin family came here in person this time?"
"I heard that it seems that the son of Qin Taibao, Jinan County Duke, was led by the team."
"I heard that the Emperor has arrived from Hiraicheng Kyo."
"The nobles of the Tang Kingdom are coming soon, so we can't talk about the Emperor anymore. We should be called the King of Japan." A businessman covered in silk and obviously pro-Tang Dynasty immediately interrupted the reminder.
"I heard that the Qin family's fleet is very large this time. Does anyone know what they are here to do?"
Although there were many Tang Shangs coming to Japan, the Qin family in the Tang Dynasty had the best development in Japan over the years, and had the most famous ones in the government and the opposition. There was almost the shadow of the Qin family in all aspects.
From construction of two Beijings, to construction of ports, to Qinjia mines everywhere, Qinjia shops everywhere, as well as Qinjia merchants that are increasingly used by people, and even the daily transactions of the people, most of them use the Tang coins minted by the Qinjia.
"The eldest brother, Prince and all the ministers have already gone to the Zhuzi Pavilion in the port to welcome him. I guess he will be welcomed back in a while."
"The eldest brother, Prince, has always had close ties with the Qin family. This time it was probably the prince invited the Qin family to come."
"What are you invited here?"
"It should be a trade talk!"
