Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 921 "Tang Lin Gengzi Treaty"

Time-traveling is a perk, but sometimes it's also a responsibility.

Fang Jun is not a person with great ambitions and lofty aspirations, but after time travel, he also feels that he should do something more or less to be worthy of this hard-won wonderful life.

At the very least, if someone in later generations infers that he is a time traveler based on various researches, and then looks at his own life trajectory, and has done what should be done, then it will be fine.But if you only know how to enjoy pleasure, extravagance and lust, wouldn't you be sprayed to death by those trolls on the Internet?
No cameras, no reporters...

In the rainy weather of Linyi Kingdom, a simple, short, but meaningful signing ceremony was held in the palace of Sangapura City, the capital of Linyi Kingdom.Fan Zhenlong, the eldest son of Lin Yiguo, looked at the duplicate agreement in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Master Hou, isn't this name too strange? It's just an agreement, both parties file for the record, agree with each other, and never go back on it, that's enough. You..."

Looking down again, looking at the text on the agreement, I felt very strange.

"Tanglin Gengzi Treaty"...

This year is the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the year of Gengzi in the lunar calendar.It's not just the Tang Dynasty that adopts the celestial stems and earthly branches to count the years, but all the surrounding countries that are deeply influenced by Chinese culture also adopt this calendar method.

Stems and Earthly Branches, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, the oldest civilization of the Chinese nation is also the first to spread to the world, a culture that is deeply accepted by the Chinese cultural circle.On the other hand, it is these advanced cultures that make Huaxia always lead the surrounding countries in terms of culture, forming the so-called Greater China Cultural Circle...

For the name of this agreement, Fang Jun is very obsessed.

Almost every Chinese in the later generations, when they see the words "xx treaty", almost subconsciously know that this must be a traitorous agreement that loses power, humiliates the country and cedes land and pays compensation. It is these various agreements with almost no lower limit that constitute the Chinese nation. History of blood and tears...

Therefore, Fang Jun wants to set a precedent.

Even if I do nothing in the future, the Tang Dynasty will disappear in smoke, and the Chinese nation will still sink into the sea of ​​suffering step by step according to the original track. The powerful and great treaty of the Han people is silently blooming with brilliance...

Let's chat.

Fan Zhenlong was just complaining. The content of the agreement has been agreed by both parties, and the name doesn't matter at all.

Sign, draw, seal, seal...

After the entire process is completed, the signing ceremony ends.

The Linyi Congress arranged for special ministers to go to Datang with the naval fleet, and presented the two treaties to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After they were affixed with the jade seal, they came into effect.

The corner of Fang Jun's mouth was cracked, almost revealing his back molars, and he unexpectedly used a handshake gift to Fan Zhenlong...

Happy!

Da Nang, Cam Ranh Bay, Nansha, Xisha, garrison, trade, extraterritoriality...

Presumably there must be a stroke of his own in the history books of later generations, right?

Maybe you can call yourself "the greatest diplomat in history"...

Fan Zhenlong was stunned when Fang Jun shook hands.

He didn't think it was some kind of etiquette, but complicatedly thought that Fang Jun was showing his favor to him.How can a man be so passionate and intimate with another man without being suspicious?

Fan Zhenlong withdrew his hand without a trace, twitched once, but didn't twitch...

Fang Jun didn't notice the embarrassment on Fan Zhenlong's face and the panic in his eyes at all, he laughed loudly and said: "In the future, in your free time, go to Datang more often, see the Wufu Minfeng of Datang, and also look at the Prosperity and prosperity. You and I are separated by a strip of water, and we will be brothers in the future. We must not only communicate with each other, but also support each other."

Fan Zhenlong really wanted to go to Datang to see and see how the extremely powerful capital in the far north was different from Linyi.It's a pity that his father, Fan Fanzhi, has been in a coma for several days. The medical officer said that he has run out of oil and the lights are dry, and whether he can wake up is a problem. Under such circumstances, how dare he leave the capital for half a step?

It can't be said that if the front foot is gone, there will be rebellion on the back foot.

He knew very well in his heart that what Datang cared about was that the geographical location of Linyi Kingdom could provide midway supplies for the ocean-going Arabian fleet, and what he cared about was the interests of Datang merchants in Linyi Kingdom. As for who would be the king, it probably didn't matter. of……

Between countries, there is no room for talking about feelings, only naked interests!

*****
In the drizzle, the coconut trees in Da Nang are whirling and the waves are bursting.

The remaining veins of the two mountain ranges extend to the sea in the south and north, forming two natural breakwaters, tightly surrounding the Yiwang Harbor.The large sea in the harbor has only gentle waves and is not afraid of strong winds. It is the most natural harbor.

When Fang Jun returned to Da Nang from Singapura, he locked himself in the cabin and studied Da Nang's plan behind closed doors.

In his vision, this place will not only be an overseas base of the Royal Navy, but also the business center of the Tang Dynasty in the southeastern countries.As long as the Royal Navy maintains its leadership in terms of equipment and personnel quality, this place will never be lost.

Even if the Tang Dynasty is destroyed one day, this place will still be the territory of the Han people.

As long as you make this place a place of wealth, no dynasty can ignore it lightly.And as long as the Han Dynasty keeps paying attention, no one will be able to take this pearl away from the Han people for at least 1000 years...

Therefore, the most important thing at this stage is construction!
"Master Hou, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

Liu Rengui was called into the cabin by Fang Jun, looked at the plan drafted by Fang Jun, and frowned.

According to Fang Jun's idea, the construction of the entire Da Nang will be undertaken by "East Datang Company".This is also a helpless thing, expecting the imperial court to allocate money to build ports overseas?

The princes in the court may not have this insight, including Fang Jun's father Fang Xuanling...

Liu Rengui smiled wryly and said: "Master Hou, although you are in charge of the Royal Navy and have the right to act arbitrarily, you can kill first and then play later, but after all, accepting other countries' territories overseas is too influential, and there must be criticism in the court. Now more They want to use the company's money to build the port, which is very wrong."

Although the status of merchants at this time was not as low as that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were considered lowly in the end, and their status was low.Doing business with foreign countries without authorization is considered a serious crime, not to mention using merchants' money to build a military port for the imperial court?

To put it seriously, this is a move to elevate the status of merchants and bring chaos to the world!
"Guanzi Xiaokuang": "Scholars, farmers, businessmen and four people are the stone (pillar) of the country and the people!"

"Huainanzi Qi Su Xun": "It is because people do not concurrently serve as officials, and officials do not concurrently work. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and townships are different from each other. This is why farmers and farmers speak forcefully, scholars and scholars speak and do, workers and workers speak skillfully, and businessmen and farmers speak skillfully. Talk to businessmen."

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the four grades of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have been the foundation of all dynasties.

And this order is arranged by the ancients according to their contribution to society...

Why is the scholar number one?

This idiot knows...

Why is farming ranked second?

"The granary knows the etiquette", "food is the most important thing for the people", "the family has surplus food, and there is no panic in the heart", especially in countries where agriculture is the mainstay, "no agriculture is unstable", and the status of farmers does not need to be repeated.

Why is work ranked third?

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." With the help of tools, efficiency can be improved.

Why is the merchant ranked fourth?

Merchants communicate with each other, but they are also opportunistic and get something for nothing. Compared with farmers who work hard and honestly, they are naturally looked down upon.What's more, the businessmen traveling all over the world are well-informed, which is regarded as a negative factor that leads to social instability... The most important thing is that they all ran away to do business. Who will plant the land in the bureaucrat's family?

So, merchants must be despised...

Fang Jun wants to use the money from the "East Datang Company" to build a military port, which is absolutely impossible.Don't look at the big bosses standing behind the "Eastern Datang Company", but merchants are merchants. Didn't you see that all the big bosses just sent out their children who were not valued at home to participate?
"Emphasis on agriculture and restraining business" is a national policy and political correctness.

Improving the status of merchants is to bring chaos to the court!
Fang Jun was stunned for a long time, and also worried...

How can this be done?

The current Da Nang is completely primitive, and there are very few people in the surrounding area. If you want to build it, you need a very considerable scale of manpower, material and financial resources.

Of course, after the completion of this place, it will become Datang's business center in the southeast, and it will be softened just by collecting taxes...

But those uncles in the court would care about this?
