Yan's foreign relatives, give Da Yan a little Xuanwu Gate shock

"Yan Country has stopped sailing in the East China Sea for the past fifty years. In addition, Ursus assisted the Fanzu Domain in building its industry. The Fanzu Domain no longer took the agreement seriously and often harassed the Fanzu Domain. As a result, there are no more Yan Country ships here..."

The ghost iris carefully told a history that no real dragon cared about.

Chapter 189 Open the door, free trade!

"How can we calculate what happened more than three hundred years ago?"

When Yuan Congqian heard this, he knew that the Dongguo man had fallen into his old trouble again and was not trustworthy.

The two Dongguo people were not deliberately deceiving him, but they really didn't know much about history. He didn't know which generation of true dragons would dare to tell a small country that they would trade with each other by sea and exchange what they had, so why didn't they talk about the material resources of Da Yan?

The real situation is that the East Kingdom, which had just ended its civil war, learned from its mistakes and sent envoys to the Yan Kingdom. While learning advanced culture, it lay dormant and became a vassal, so the Yan Kingdom allowed only tribute ships to pass through the East China Sea.

Later, the Easterners thought that this East China Sea route was also wanted by their sisters, which led to the current chaotic situation.

Terra is not a country in the core circle that is close to the sea.

And Dajing Xumi dealt a heavy blow to the coastal countries.

Dongguo was not used with the spirit infusion stick by America like Japan in Yuan Congqian's previous life.

According to some information from Yan State and Gui Changpu Xingyi, the industrialization of Ursus originated from Yan State and Ursus. Starting from the 10s, the Industrial Revolution enabled the divided countries of the North and the South to feed a large part of the population.

And it is known that Ursus will deal a severe blow to the Eastern Kingdom in the Blood Peak Battle and almost reach the Southern Dynasty's capital Dashe to sign the Five-Star General Treaty. The industrial technology of recent decades will definitely not be able to be spread from Ursus and Yan Kingdom.

In other words, the Hoashi Domain is still in the modern era and has not entered into the process of modern industry.

Yuan Congqian stroked his chin and asked:

"Does the Fanzu clan have strength? How many high-speed warships and army groups do they have?"

In fact, he did not expect to learn about the military deployment of the Hoashi Domain from these two Easterners. He just wanted to ask if there were any high-speed warships to see if it was possible for him to take down the Hoashi Domain alone.

It is best that the Fanzu Domain does not have enough military strength. He wants to open up free trade, inject the industrialization process of the civilized world into the Fanzu Domain, and let the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the East Country join the warm and harmonious family of Yan Country, Ursus, and RemBitto.

Ghost Iris said quickly:

"We only know their names. There is the mighty dreadnought battleship Hoashi and the road-running aircraft carrier Wakamiya. The Northern Dynasty has never been as wealthy as the Southern Dynasty. Hoashi Domain has the most contact with the Southern Dynasty, and many Southern Dynasty ninjas have stayed with the Hoashi Daimyo."

"The Mighty Dreadnought is so scary."

Yuan Congqian sighed, feeling that the Khan's long sword in the collapsing space was itching.

He thought it was some kind of high-speed battleship, but it turned out to be an old-style small wretch. Ursus also used an old-style high-speed battleship in the Battle of Uka, but the battleship was stopped by the Silver Spear Pegasus with his body, and the Pegasus used the boarding tactic to capture all of them.

Yuan Congqian flipped through Fanzu Weiyi's confession and suddenly asked, "Are you the youngest son of the Fanzu clan daimyo?"

The samurai Fan Zuo Wei Yi, who had been shouting for a long time, suddenly stopped talking.

He emphasized the importance of his status just to show that he was valuable to Yan. But the Yan people asked about the deployment of troops in the Fanzu Domain and his relationship with the Fanzu Domain Daimyo. This didn't seem right.

Is this a question that Yan, known for its generosity and kindness, should ask? The Yan people of this generation will not really teach Fanzu a lesson for the tasteless East China Sea rights that are a waste of time and a pity to throw away!

Sweat kept pouring down Fanzu Weiyi's face, and the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead were as dense as raindrops.

Guichangbu Xingyi hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "Lord Hoashi is indeed the descendant of the Hoashi Daimyo, but there are more than 50 descendants of the Daimyo, each holding different positions in the Hoashi Domain. Lord Hoashi is one of them who was presented as a hostage to the Kanpaku Mitsugayasu."

"Provide protons?"

Officials heard another unexpected word.

Isn't this a bit too primitive? The means by which Suochuan clamped down on the local areas turned out to be protons. Why do they feel that the East Country is still stuck in the period of national war and chaos 400 years ago, and it will not move.

"So, the Hozuki family does have the right to inherit the throne?"

Yuan Congqian looked at Fanzu Weiyi with a kind look, "Are you interested in being Yan's messenger to deliver some small news for Fanzu Fan? For example, let them sell some of the Agor people's ship technology and trade with Dahuang City?"

Fan Zuo Wei Yi was sweating profusely. He didn't hear the puppet daimyo plan he imagined, so he suppressed his thoughts a little: "Yes, yes... This is what we really want, and we dare not resign."

Even someone like Kishou Seisaku, who almost became the Oda Nobunaga of the East, could suffer from the Originium disease, which led to the decline of the Kishou clan in the East. It was normal for someone in a big family to fall into the trap of becoming a bandit in Zifu Mountain in Yan State.

As long as the Yan people are not planning to use the bloodlines of his eight major families as an excuse, it doesn't matter.

"Take him away to rest, and Aconitum should follow too." Yuan Congqian waved his hand, and the two of them, as if they had been pardoned, went to the vacant house of the Wang family in Jimo District to rest under the escort of Langyi officers and soldiers.

It was visible to the naked eye that the two of them left a puddle of sweat.

In fact, even if he does not have the right to inherit the Fanzu domain, it does not matter.

At most, the Yan people claim that he has it, but the way he eats it is a little ugly.

Yu Cheng listened to Yuan Congqian's entire questioning and took a step forward: "Only half of what they said is credible, or even less than half. You Cheng must think more about it and not be deceived."

"I didn't take their words seriously. I only heard some things about the Hoashi clan."

Yu Cheng reacted: "Yuan Youcheng, are you trying to..."

"The Fanzu clan sent spies to steal special arrows from the Langyi Wang clan, and they didn't pay tribute for a hundred years. They also let wandering samurai pirates roam the east coast of Da Yan, making it difficult for Rem Bito to resume shipping with Yan. I have to send someone to question them, right?"

Yuan Congqian slowly told the charges against Fanzu clan, and Yu Cheng suddenly stopped talking.

He cupped his hands and said, "Right Prime Minister, you know what's going on. If the other party is willing to give in and restore the sea area east of Mount Zifu to its previous state, Right Prime Minister can use this opportunity to extort money. Don't take the initiative to provoke a dispute or war."

"Dayan is currently short of currency and silver, and the official government lacks credit in economic currency. Currency reform can only be supported by physical currency. Fanzu Domain is rich in the essence of the East Country's seaports, and it is very suitable to exchange canned luncheon meat for silver."

"…Opening the sea is beneficial to national affairs, so that's another matter. The East Country has occupied the East Sea for three hundred years, and the Dali Temple will also investigate the relevant files to help the Right Prime Minister. But even if we want to clean up the East Country people who hate Da Yan in the Fanzu Domain, the Right Prime Minister should remember to report to the True Dragon first."

Yu Cheng then changed his explanation, thinking that it couldn't be a problem with the silver reserves of the Fanzu Domain.

The speed at which he changed his words was amazing, he was worthy of being the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

In the conservative Da Yan, no official was willing to be the one who broke the "peaceful and prosperous era" of a hundred years without war. But if Yuan Congqian wanted to open the Fanzu Domain to free trade and build a port city, that would be another story.

Chapter 190 Why are you still in slavery?

The capital responded quickly. The matter involved the whereabouts of the special technique arrows stolen from Yumen. Zhenlong had no intention of taking advantage of the situation, so he directly asked Yuan Congqian to visit Fanzu Fan on behalf of Dahuang City and Langyi City.

Zhenlong didn't expect to get back many of the arrows, just let him get all the benefits he deserved. He could take slightly more drastic measures against the Hozu clan, but not to the extent of declaring war, and mainly use intimidation and threats.

This is the version translated by Yuan Congqian. The original oral instruction was a poem of eight words.

The Honglu Temple sent a fourth-rank official, and together with Yu Cheng, the junior official of the Dali Temple, they formed the main personnel of the Dahuang City visit to the Fanzu clan. The ship that entered the Fanzu clan was temporarily transferred from Danyan City, and the crew was Langyun's people.

The Wang family of Langyun had exchanges with the Fanzu clan, but the two sides did not embark on the path of building a port through Zifu Mountain to trade. Obviously, those who went to the Fanzu clan would not be important characters and were not involved in the major case.

On the one hand, the Wang family was a traditional aristocratic family that looked down on the Easterners and the interests of maritime trade, and on the other hand, the Fanzu clan was also afraid that the civilized world would disrupt their rule. The two feudal forces hit it off, and the bud of the Northeastern sea-going trend of Da Yan was strangled before it even appeared.

East of Zifu Mountain, at the estuary.

The Great Wild East Sea is a deep blue, with scaly sunlight in the distance.

Few people come to this estuary. There are some wooden houses scattered here and there that have been corroded by the tide. There is a Chiwanghai Tower built by bandits on a high ground. When the bandits of Zifu Mountain were still there, only those who made mistakes would be punished to fish.

"Since the Agors can land in the East Kingdom directly from the east, does that mean they can go to every corner of the ocean?"

"In history, they had a golden fleet that claimed to have conquered the ocean. All of them were high-speed warships that could sail in the ocean. That sounds really weird. Shouldn't high-speed warships run on the ground?"

On a small ironclad, source stone-powered ironclad ship, several officials sat on the Cambridge and chatted. For land-based countries with underdeveloped transportation, residents would only wander around the city for their entire lives, and going out to sea was still a novelty.

The tide breeze drifted in from the distant sea, carrying with it the fishy smell of the ocean, as if it was a vague gaze.

Yuan Congqian leaned on the deck and looked into the distance at the ocean.

As if he saw something, he squinted his eyes. At a place close to the limit of Yuan Congqian's vision, the smooth back of a blue-skinned creature emerged from the sea, turned around on the sea surface, and then disappeared into the sea.

"On the Terra map, Yan Country's coastal area is only a small circle. This does not mean that the ocean ends here, but that the area beyond this is beyond human exploration capabilities..."

Yuan Congqian thought silently in his heart and put the terrifying fish he saw behind his mind.

The Great Silence happened more than a decade ago. Land countries do not know the details, but they only know that the ocean suddenly expanded a lot towards Iberia. The maritime power Agor has not been heard from since then, and after the loss of its maritime outpost, it quietly withdrew its sea area.

Sea monsters will not attack humans yet, so the sea routes will be safe for the next few decades.

"Jiedushi, the Hozu clan has replied to our letter."

An official from the Honglu Temple came to Yuan Congqian and handed him a letter that looked very similar to the official paper used by the Dayan government.

The content is that he is willing to exchange what he has for what he does not have, and it seems that he is very happy for the Yan people to travel to Fanzu Domain. The text used in the letter is all Yan Guo classical Chinese, and the small details of various places are Tang system. The signature is Fanzu Domain Daimyo.

"What did you see?" Yuan Congqian returned the letter to the Dali Temple official.

"My dear, you didn't mention the special arrows?"

"Of course not. We are not going there to call for punishment, unless we add another 5,000 Shenwu soldiers to this ship."

"Then there is nothing much to say. If you don't know, you might think it's an official document from a Jiangnan academy."

The Deputy Director of the Honglu Temple shook his head. It was the first time for him to come into contact with a letter written by a Easterner.

Judging from the surface alone, he could not see any difference in the wording used by the literati from the Yan State. The other party's allusions and written language were quite elegant and simple, and at the end there was an ancient poem by the daimyo of the Fanzhi domain.

Yuan Congqian's words aroused the curiosity of the official, and he asked, "Is there some other trick? Is it that he is trying to harm Dayan in violation of the rules, or is it that the letter uses some allusion to secretly persuade people that this place is dangerous and it is not advisable to go there?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask those of you who are good at handling foreign documents to see if there is anything unreasonable in the other party's letter, so that I can take it to the Daimyo of Hoashi Domain to question him."

"..." Yuanwailang was speechless. It seemed like he was trying to frame me.

He really couldn't find it. As a fourth-rank official who climbed up through the imperial examinations by studying classics step by step, he would have long discovered any sarcastic and offensive remarks made by him. He also wanted to hear what Yuan Langjun, who was famous in the officialdom, had to say.

Amid the roar of the Originium furnace, the ironclad ship slowly entered the water.

The ironclad ship had been sailing relatively close to the land, and it took two hours before it officially entered the ocean, where the scenery seemed to have been frozen. I don't know how long I had been on the ship, but at the end of the sunset, the lights of a moving city appeared in front of me.

A mobile city that is far smaller than Langyi City comes into view.

"That's the Fanzu Domain. According to previous agreements, we have to dock at a shore that won't interfere with the fishermen's operations. They will send a boat to take us into the city. Gentlemen, please wait a little longer."

The people of Langyi City bowed to several officials.

The Deputy Director of the Honglu Temple crossed his arms and jumped directly from the bridge to the deck.

He got closer and saw the appearance of Fanzu Fan clearly. He frowned again: "Why is it so similar to the imperial palace? The palaces on the moving city in the distance, could they be Chenyan Changsheng Palace and Hanguang Palace?"

Looking at it again, there is also the layout of the 56 wards in Chang'an, which is very similar to the capital, and it is also a shrunken version. This is obviously the Eastern Kingdom, but the Honglu Temple Yuanwailang seems to have returned to the capital of Baizao, and it looks familiar no matter how you look at it.

"The daimyo is just a feudal state granted by the Eastern Kingdom, but it was built so extravagantly..."

Yu Cheng exclaimed softly, "There are many temples in the mobile city, and there is even one built by the coast, but there are no civilians coming and going. It's really strange. Moreover, those who are farming over there, are they serfs?"

Following Yu Cheng's finger, Yuan Congqian also saw the existence of the so-called serfs.

The farmer was half naked, with only a gray shirt on his body, his thighs exposed, and was being scolded by a warrior in full armor. The warrior got impatient and took out a whip, kicked him to the ground and started whipping him.

Is this Dongguk?

Practicing slavery on a mobile city is really too low.

In feudal Da Yan, slavery had long been abandoned. Although various slavery-like contracts still existed, the government had abolished the slave population in various parts of Da Yan in name, and no place could legitimately keep slaves.

Chapter 191: Industry and Serfdom, Rich and Poor

The only countries that the East Country can contact are Ursus and Yan Country, and there are very few countries to worship. The East Country can only send "Yan Envoys" to get closer to Yan Country after the Terra Warring States.

A flower boat on the sea was swaying towards the Yan State's ship.

The architectural style of the flower boat is obviously not native to the East.

The Fanzu clan is from the Agor clan, and they brought with them more advanced marine ship technology from Agor. Even though nearly 20 years have passed, they still maintain their lead in this field where there is little competition on Terra.

A man dressed like a scholar slowly boarded the boat, holding up his skirt. Yuan Congqian was stunned.

There are no people in Yan State who wear such long skirts. Does Dong State regard the Yan State culture of a hundred years ago as a treasure?

Autumn is the season when October cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The pink clusters are blooming majestically around the red torii. Under the cherry trees, there are women lying on their backs, kneading the water beside the oars, wearing low-cut corsets and tassels, which can be said to have a strong Tang Dynasty style.

The man had webbed feet between his toes and a thick fish tail behind him. He was an Agor. Apart from that, he had no other racial features. From his face alone, he looked no different from a human.

Unfortunately, as soon as the man opened his mouth, he tore these Tang styles to pieces:

"I am Fanzu Jinping, the Shonagon of Fanzu Domain, and also what Yan State calls Shangshulang and Menxia Jieshi. We haven't heard any news from Yan State for four years. How lucky we are to meet today."

He spoke the Yan dialect as if he was singing, with a sharp voice and a strange accent.

Judging from the fact that Chi Dong escaped to Longmen and was able to talk fluently with the citizens of Longmen, the upper class nobles of the East Kingdom were educated in Yanguo Mandarin. They can definitely read and write Yanguo language, but it doesn't matter how they speak it.

The clerk from the Honglu Temple bowed to him, and after some negotiation, he came to lead the people off the boat.

There are many temples, shrines and torii gates on both sides of the road from the coast to the mobile city, and monks can be seen everywhere. When you arrive at the Hoashi mobile city, there will be even more Shinto cultural buildings.

"What is the current situation in Langyi City? How are your business and martial fortunes?"

"The Wang family of Langyi has been in the local area for a long time, and has not heard of the great power of the court. It has declined."

Yuan Congqian pretended to be Wang's Feilin and answered in this way, at least he did not deceive Fanzu Jinping.

Since this visit was not conducted in the name of countries, but an exchange between two mobile cities, Fanzu Jinping only regarded them as members of the Wang family. After hearing Yuan Congqian's words, he comforted them.

"The so-called major events in the court are nothing more than ordinary people playing chess in a high place. Apart from the high terrain, there is nothing much to say. The Wang family of Langyi is located in the northern border of Dayan, with fresh air and good wine, and enjoys wealth and luxury. How can the people in the capital compare with them?"
