Back to the main building of the manor, the main building here is also completely pure wooden structure.
Li Ke met Hu Zhi in the reception room.
"I have met His Highness." When he saw Li Ke, Hu Zhi's face was full of joy and excitement.
"You're welcome. I said goodbye to Chang'an that day, but I didn't expect to see you again in Guangzhou. How is Hu Langjun doing these days?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
"Thanks to Your Highness Hongfu, I couldn't be any better. It's all thanks to Your Highness' support." Hu Zhi said with a grateful face.
Although he bought the land in the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty and almost spent most of his funds, what Hu Zhi bought is not worthless. If he wants to sell it now, he can take all the money he paid for the land without leaving a trace. Even if you don’t say it, you can even sell more.
In other words, His Highness not only asked him for nothing, but also gave him many opportunities. Of course Hu Zhi was grateful.
"What are you doing here today?" Li Ke looked at Hu Zhi and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I have something to ask for to see His Highness." Hu Zhi said directly. Although he didn't have much contact with His Highness, Hu Zhi felt that His Highness was a pragmatic person. Instead of making nonsense, it would be better to say the right thing directly. It is business that is beneficial to Your Highness.
"Go ahead." Li Ke waved his hand, "Sit down and give me some tea."
A maid next to him served tea to Hu Zhi, and Hu Zhi also sat down, of course he sat very carefully.
"Your Highness, there is actually someone who wants to see Your Highness. I think this person will be of great use to Your Highness, so I came here specifically to ask to see Your Highness."
"Oh? Who? Which family?" Li Ke was a little curious.
"Your Highness, I am not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Japanese country." Hu Zhi said immediately.
"Japanese?!" Li Ke was stunned for a moment. The Japanese gradually came into contact with the Tang from the early years of the Tang Dynasty. In the year of Zhenguan, the Japanese sent a large number of foreign students to the Tang. There were many Japanese in the Tang Dynasty, but no Japanese came to see Li in Chang'an. Ke, it’s curious that people from Japan are asking to see them in Guangzhou, thousands of miles away.
"Who is it specifically?" Li Ke asked curiously.
"He used to use the name Noya Murashita. Later, when he wanted to see you, Your Highness, he said that his real name was Monobe Murashita, from the Monobe clan of Japan." Hu Zhi said immediately.
Monobe clan? Li Ke knows the Monobe clan, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't know, he has a warehouse.
Li Ke entered the warehouse directly, and then went to the library to search. Soon Li Ke found all the information about the Mononobe clan. After checking the information, Li Ke nodded thoughtfully and carefully After studying the information in his hand, Li Ke left the warehouse directly.
Naturally, it was impossible for Hu Zhi to feel it. Li Ke nodded and said: "The Monobe clan was once in charge of the military power of Japan. This person is indeed useful. Since he wants to see me, he can meet me and you can bring him over later. ."
"Your Highness, he is waiting outside the manor. Do you want to see him now?" Hu Zhi immediately said with a respectful expression.
"Yes, I can see him, but how do you know he is useful to me?" Li Ke looked at Hu Zhi curiously.
"I feel that since your highness has come to Guangzhou in person, your highness must have important arrangements for Lingnan Road, Linyi Zhenwa in the south, and even the Persian food farther away. For someone who was once powerful in the Japanese country, your highness may It's useful to him. It doesn't matter if your highness is of no use to him, but I can't do anything that may be beneficial to your highness because of this delay." Hu Zhi said respectfully.
"Well, you did a good job." Li Ke smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Go and bring him in. I will see him now. You can wait outside, or you can go and do your own business. "
Li Ke didn't say anything unnecessary. Hu Zhi was very smart, so Li Ke knew that he could understand what he meant.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave now. Most of the things Your Highness has assigned me have been completed. I will go over and finish."
"Go." Li Ke waved his hand.
Hu Zhi left directly, and Li Ke sat there drinking tea, with different thoughts swirling in his mind.
The Mononobe clan once held the military power of Japan, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful force in Japan. However, during the Sui Dynasty, around 587 AD, the Monobe clan competed with the Soga clan, and then when It was the main member of the Mononobe clan who died in the battle, and the Monobe clan fell into decline. It has lasted for more than fifty years. Li Ke did not know what the decline of the Mononobe clan was like.
But the current Japanese state has a clan system, that is, slavery. These wealthy families, such as the Soga clan, cannot be completely wiped out by the Monobe clan after a defeat. These wealthy families in Japan are somewhat like the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty, which are not so easy to wipe out.
There are many wealthy families behind the Mononobe clan, because they cannot pretend that the Soga family is the only one in Japan. Although the Soga family in Japan is already the only one in Japan, the current Emperor Shumei of Japan is Soga Ezo. First supported.
One can imagine the power of the Soga family in Japan.
But people from the Japanese country, Li Ke squinted his eyes to see how ambitious this Mononobe Murashita was.
Soon, Li Dai brought a man into the living room. This man was not tall, a little over 1.6 meters tall, but he had a strong build and looked about thirty years old.
After he came in, he knelt down on his knees, and then he lay on the ground. He gave Li Ke a bow and bowed to the ground. At the same time, he said in a deep voice in skilled Chinese: "I have seen the King of Qin in the village of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Your Highness."
Hearing Mononobe Murashita's voice, Li Ke sighed with emotion. There is an advantage to living in the Tang Dynasty. When you go to the surrounding countries, you don't have to worry about not understanding, because they all speak Chinese! Take Vietnam for example. In modern times more than a thousand years later, although they no longer speak Chinese, their writing has always been in Chinese characters. After the abolition of Chinese characters, the Vietnamese found that they could no longer read their own history books...
Because all their history books are recorded in Chinese characters.
Because in this world, words are more difficult to create than language! In fact, the languages of Japan, Goguryeo, Silla, Linyi, Zhenwa and other places in this era all belonged to the Sino-Tibetan language family in later generations, so Li Ke seriously doubted that they were actually just dialects of ancient Chinese.
There seems to be no difference in the Hokkien language of later generations, if you let it alone and develop it for decades, and treat it as a foreign language, right?
"You want to see me, what's the matter?" Li Ke didn't let him get up, but just asked.
"I want to be your highness's dog. I can do whatever your highness asks me to do. I only have one request. The Soga family must die." Mononobe Murashita spoke concisely and to the point.
"Why do you think I need a dog?" Li Ke asked with a calm face and a calm tone.
