The prince is more stable

Chapter 375: Marriage and Seeding
Money and beauty can only prostrate themselves before power.

Zhao Xiaoqian was powerful, so others used money and beauty to express their feelings.

There is a price to pay for winning people over. In the eyes of people like Liu Qianliang, Zhao Xiaoqian has his price. Money and beauty must be delivered to the right level, and this price must be reached or even exceeded in order for Zhao Xiaoqian to sincerely join them.

If you want to save money and send less, but the price is not right, you will only make enemies with Zhao Xiaoqian.

This is the unspoken rule of society, both in ancient and modern times.

After Zhao Xiaoqian arrived in Zhending Prefecture, he gained a lot.

On the first day, he captured a group of strong men. On the second day, nature gifted him with 200,000 taels of silver. On the third night, someone knocked on Zhao Xiaoqian's door.

Zhao Xiaoqian, who was drowsy, opened it and couldn't help but gasp.

There were two people standing outside the door, two women.

These two women were extremely beautiful, no less beautiful than Di Ying and Jiang Miaoxian. They wore long green dresses with narrow sleeves, their hair tied up in buns, they had bright eyes and white teeth, their brows were full of charm, and they had that kind of charm that was ingrained in them, something that even Jiang Miaoxian, who came from a prostitute family, could not achieve.

After Zhao Xiaoqian opened the door, the two women knelt down before him.

"Greetings to His Excellency, the Duke of Shangguo County of the Great Song Dynasty. Judge Liu asked us to serve you well. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you."

The woman spoke Mandarin awkwardly with a strange intonation, and she didn't sound like someone from the Central Plains at all.

But Zhao Xiaoqian understood what they meant. Giving money and then beautiful women was a normal procedure.

I have to say that Liu Qianliang is a very sensible guy, but it's a pity that he doesn't use his mind in the right way. Such a smart person, if he works hard in Zhending Prefecture for a few years and brings some benefits to the people, would it be difficult for him to get promoted?

"Where are you from?" Zhao Xiaoqian asked.

The two women lowered their heads even lower and said softly, "We are so sorry, we are Japanese."

Zhao Xiaoqian was shocked.

This is Hebei, very far away from the seaside. How did two women get here?

"Japanese?" Zhao Xiaoqian's expression was a little complicated.

The memories of his previous life were deeply rooted, and Zhao Xiaoqian had never had a good impression of the Japanese. Of course, he had no interest in calling for the killing of the Japanese on the Internet. That was unrealistic.

Do your job well, work hard to make money, pay taxes legally, and let the country use the taxes you contribute to strengthen national defense. This is the greatest contribution that ordinary Chinese people can make to the country.

However, in this life, the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Japan is good. Japan admires the Song Dynasty very much and believes that the Song Dynasty is the orthodox Central Plains.

Japan's upper class takes pride in speaking Chinese and knowing Chinese characters. Chinese and Chinese characters are considered an elegant skill in Japan, and only the nobility are qualified to learn them. Common people cannot learn them even if they want to.

At this time, Japan was in the Heian period, and the powerful families in the country were fighting against each other. At this time, the Minamoto family was gradually becoming more powerful, which made the central imperial power uneasy.

Zhao Xiaoqian was not interested in what was happening across the distant ocean. What he was interested in was the origins of these two women and why they came all the way from Japan and to Hebei, the heart of the Central Plains.

"Were you abducted?" Zhao Xiaoqian seemed to have guessed something.

The two women shook their heads. One of them, who was slightly older, about seventeen or eighteen years old, lowered her head and replied, "Your Excellency, the Duke of the Great Song, we came to the Great Song on our own accord."

"Come here to work as a factory girl and screw screws?" Zhao Xiaoqian asked in confusion.

The two girls didn't know what a factory girl meant, nor did they know what screwing meant. Seeing Zhao Xiaoqian's suspicious and wary look, the two girls became more frightened and explained their origins tremblingly.

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoqian suddenly understood and his expression became strange.

Nowadays, in faraway Japan, there is a very strange word called "渡種".

Living on a small island, suffering from various natural and man-made disasters, food shortages, and inferior genes, the Japanese are generally very short.

How short were the Japanese during the Song Dynasty? Adult men were generally around 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall. With such a height, a donkey in front of them would be regarded as a tall and mighty mythical beast, and one would have to use standard gymnastic vaulting movements and the help of springs to ride it.

With such inferior genes, it is no wonder that Emperor Guangwu of Han named the country "Wa Nu".

In order to improve their genes, the Japanese were very anxious and they came up with various methods.

The most common method is to let Japanese women cross the sea to the Central Plains and offer themselves to Chinese men in the Central Plains. After they become pregnant, they return to Japan with big bellies. The genes of the children born will naturally be much stronger than those of the Japanese.

Therefore, this act of sending BI thousands of miles away is called "Duzhong" in Japan. Don't ask the Japanese women themselves about their wishes, they don't know how happy they are.

From ancient times to the present, Japanese women have no concept of chastity, especially men from the Song Dynasty, whom they would not refuse.

Compared with the short and ugly Japanese men, the men of the Song Dynasty were "beautiful and handsome". On one side was a hideous and greasy man, and on the other side was a handsome man with a graceful figure. Even a blind man would know how to choose.

Japanese women would not refuse the opportunity to have a romantic encounter with Song Dynasty men, but would happily oblige.

It is said that in today's East China Sea, many Japanese women were wandering around on the sea in fishing boats. Even if they met a slightly ugly Song Dynasty fisherman, they would take the initiative to approach him, have sex with him on the fishing boat for a while, and then return home happily.

The precious genetic seeds of the Chinese people in the Central Plains were taken away without any reason. I can't tell whether I feel happy or ashamed...

However, the two women in front of Zhao Xiaoqian are rather special.

In principle, they also came to the Song Dynasty to reproduce, which was the order of their elders.

But they were not of ordinary origin, but came from the two major noble families of Japan, the Heike and the Minamoto.

The surnames "Hei" and "Minamoto" were originally descendants of the Japanese royal family. The descendants of the Japanese royal family had names but no surnames. Later, the two families separated from the royal family and were given the surnames "Hei" and "Minamoto".

Although both are descendants of the royal family, the relationship between the Pingyuan family is very delicate. They have been both enemies and friends for more than a hundred years. Strictly speaking, the two families now actually have a conflict of interest.

Not long ago, the elder of the Ping family had a sudden idea and decided to send a woman from the family across the sea to the Song Dynasty. He originally planned to marry the commander of the Dengzhou Pinghai Navy of the Song Dynasty Navy.

Of course, marriage is not for the purpose of transferring offspring. Nobles always do things with a purpose.

The Ping family's goal was to find a backer for themselves by marrying a Song Dynasty navy general. After all, the Song Dynasty navy was still quite strong. With the Song Dynasty navy as a backer, the Ping family could intimidate other nobles in the country and thus achieve the goal of seizing greater power.

If the Heike clan encountered trouble in Japan and was attacked, the commander of the Song navy would also help because of this marriage relationship. With this additional force, the Heike clan would naturally turn defeat into victory.

After all, sending daughters for marriage was a strategic plan for the future by aristocratic families.

The abacus beads clattered loudly, but the news leaked out and the Genji family soon heard about it.

When the elders of the Minamoto clan heard this, they said, "Hey, you Hei clan want to have it all to yourself, right? You're not sharing this great opportunity with our Minamoto clan. I give you two choices: I'll ruin this deal and everyone else will have to give up. Or I'll send a woman across the sea to the Song Dynasty as well."

Anyway, whatever your Heike family has, my Minamoto family must have. If your Heike family sends women to the Song Dynasty to marry, my Minamoto family must also marry.

Therefore, the Pingyuan family had to hold their noses and cooperate again, and the two women from different families boarded the ship together.

Unfortunately, the ship encountered wind and waves at sea, and the two women and their entourage drifted with the waves. When the wind and waves subsided, the ship somehow ended up in the Bohai Bay.

After landing, the two women looked at the extremely unfamiliar world and fell into deep confusion and fear.

They had originally planned to go directly to Dengzhou, but ended up entering the Bohai Bay and landing in Hejian Prefecture in the Yanyun area, which caused trouble.

Although Japan is located on an island, it is also aware of the situation in the Central Plains. The two women knew that Hejian Prefecture belonged to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and was the territory of the Liao Kingdom. In panic, they hurriedly hired a carriage and left.

After leaving Hejian Prefecture and heading west, the two women no longer cared about their mission and decided to leave the territory of Liao first.

Two hundred miles west of Hejian Prefecture, the two women arrived in Zhending Prefecture.

When two such stunning women came to the chaotic Zhending Prefecture, Judge Liu Qianliang immediately got the news.

He went to the inn in the city and took a secret look at them. He found that the two women were indeed stunningly beautiful and unforgettable. For a moment, Liu Qianliang wanted to take them for himself.

Fortunately, reason stopped him.

Liu Qianliang knew very well that he was not worthy of such a beautiful woman.

So Liu Qianliang met the two women in the capacity of an official of the Song Dynasty, and without any explanation, invited them to live in his own mansion, which was almost equivalent to putting them under house arrest.

Liu Qianliang's plan was to send the two girls to Bian Jing to serve as his backer, and this flattery would definitely be solid and powerful.

Man proposes, God disposes. Later, Zhao Xiaoqian came.

It just so happened that the gifts sent by officials such as Liu Qianliang were not enough, and they also needed to give beautiful women. What should they do?

Of course, he had no choice but to send these two stunning Japanese women away with great reluctance.
