"Why should we deal with them?" A Guo covered his mouth and said with a smile, "They didn't do anything wrong?"
"You didn't do anything wrong?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned, and then smiled: "You are really good at joking. Those of my subordinates said that I resemble the statue of the Great Lord. Isn't this a blatant deception? I am a Tang man, how can I be like this? Is that the Great Lord God similar? Don’t worry, I will definitely punish those guys severely!”
"No!" A Guo shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Wang Wenzuo was confused: "Is there anything else wrong with them? Damn it, these bastards!"
"It's not that they are wrong, it's you, Zuofu Dian, who is wrong!" Ah Guo held out two fingers: "First, your subordinates said that you are exactly the same as the statue of the Great Lord, and that you are the exact same mold, not just It’s just a similarity! Second, they are right, you are exactly the same as the statue in our shrine, there is no difference at all, your subordinates did not deceive us, so you don’t need to punish them!”
Wang Wenzuo looked at the righteous woman in black in front of him. He didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, he decided that it would be better to explain the matter clearly: "A Guo, can I call you this?"
"It doesn't matter, Zuofu Palace can call me whatever you want!"
"Okay!" Wang Wenzuo took a deep breath: "You may not know that I am from Qingzhou. I was born in the Wang family of Langya. I have been a famous family for generations. If I hadn't been sent as an envoy under the emperor's order this time, I would never have been with the Japanese country in my life. There is even the slightest connection with it, but how can it have the same face as that of the Great Lord God? You must have seen it wrong!"
"Zuofu Palace!" A Guo said with a smile: "I have been serving the Lord God since I was five years old. I have never stopped praying twice a day in the morning and evening. I can draw what the God of the Lord looks like on paper even if I close my eyes. , how could I get it wrong? As for your life, your people have already told me that the first king of the Yamato court has been around for nearly 1,300 years, and the king of the country left Izumo. Before that, the founder of the Langya Wang family was the Han Dynasty, only six hundred years ago, so there is no contradiction!"
"What's not contradictory?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned when he heard this, and soon realized that the other party had found a cheap ancestor for the Langya Wang family, and he couldn't help being furious. Although he actually had no blood relationship with the Langya Wang family, this The Japanese girl is so shameless, she is just messing around.
"Are you saying that the Langya Wang family is the descendant of the great god of the country? Isn't this too ridiculous?" Wang Wenzuo said angrily: "Not to mention the distance between gods and humans, let alone thousands of miles apart? I am a foreigner, and soon We are about to leave here soon, so why do you insist on linking me with your god?"
Wang Wenzuo's words were quite explicit, he just didn't point his nose at A Guo and scold A Guo for pretending to be confused. But Aguo didn't seem to understand at all: "Zuofu Palace doesn't know something. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, there is no insurmountable boundary between gods and men in our country. For example, the king is the bloodline of Amaterasu Omikami, and so is the Oban clan. So. When the Lord of the Kingdom gave up Izumo and left by boat, he predicted that one day his descendants would come by boat and take back Weiyuan China from the descendants of Amaterasu Omikami. And when Amaterasu came, Amaterasu The great god also made an agreement with him that the descendants of Tiansun will rule this land forever. This is a well-known thing and is not made up by me. For thousands of years, those who can satisfy the descendants of Amaterasu by boat and defeat him You are the only one, and you look so similar to that statue, do you think you have anything to do with the Lord of Okuninami?"
"Is this goddess stick born in the year of a dog? If you catch one, bite it and won't let go!" Wang Wenzuo cursed in his heart. Of course he didn't believe the nonsense A Guo said. How could he, a time traveler, be related to someone who lived more than a thousand years ago? The leaders of the Dulai tribe are related by blood. Of course, if it must be said, all humans are the descendants of those few Homo sapiens who came out of East Africa. From this perspective, it cannot be said that A Guo lied, but That's something else entirely.
Wang Wenzuo thought for a moment, and finally decided to show his bottom line, so as to save this country from continuing to be entangled endlessly.
"Ah Guo, I won't argue with you now about whether I have anything to do with that great country's lord god! But I'm going to say something ugly first. I have a close relationship with the queen of your country, and I'm from a foreign country. So after quelling the war in your country, I will leave here, and even if I don’t leave, I won’t go to war with the Queen to fight for the throne. Do you understand what I mean?”
"I understand what Zuofudian means!" A Guo said with a smile: "A Guo also heard some rumors about you and the queen on the way here. But do you know? In the Japanese country, as long as you are of the blood of Tiansun, Both men and women can ascend the throne and become kings, but if a woman is king, unless her husband is also from the same clan, her children cannot inherit her throne, and she can only pass the throne to her younger brother or other relatives!"
"I know this, but what does this have to do with me?"
"It's nothing, this is just a reminder to you! Also, you just said that if it weren't for the emperor's edict, you would have nothing to do with the Japanese country in your life. But have you ever thought about why you, a native of the Tang Dynasty, are so far away? Crossed the ocean, came to this land, intervened in the royal civil war, had a fate with the queen, and killed the eldest brother. Why is it you and not someone else? Could it be that there is a force in the dark that is guiding you to come? Are you here? Don’t you feel a voice in your heart calling you to return to this land lost by your ancestors?”
Even though Wang Wenzuo was speechless by A Guo's words, he had to secretly admire the other party's magic stick skills. It was both agnostic and psychological. If it were someone else, there was a high probability that he would fall into her trap. . After all, no matter what anyone is thinking, they will feel like they heard something.
"Okay, okay!" Wang Wenzuo raised his hands to show that he had surrendered to him: "Ah Guo, let's do this! This matter ends here, how about it?"
"Zuofu Dian, you don't want other people to know about this? Really?" A Guo asked.
"That's right!" Wang Wenzuo said: "I will let them control my people's mouths. If it is leaked, it will be your people's problem!"
"No problem!" A Guo agreed readily: "Before I left, I ordered all the people who knew about this matter to be isolated. I will send them away after I return. As for the statue, I will also have someone replace it with one. If it’s new, let’s just say the old one has been damaged due to the passage of time!”
"This woman is so clever with her skills. Even if I go to Izumo Taisha Shrine next time and see that it doesn't look like it, I won't have anything to say. After all, she has already had the old one replaced! It was still my request!"
At this point in the conversation, Wang Wenzuo couldn't help but be full of admiration for this country. Regardless of his position, this negotiator definitely deserves the title of a negotiator. If Wang Wenzuo had to change places by himself, it would be difficult to get a better one. Result.
"Well, I will donate five hundred pieces of silk to Izumo Taisha Shrine, plus a manor near Nara, to express my respect for Izumo Taisha Shrine!"
"Since it is your wish, Zuofuden, Aguo must accept it!" Aguo said with a smile: "I heard that you plan to mine silver mines in Izumo. Please rest assured that Izumo Grand Society will fully cooperate with you. !”
"Thank you very much!" Of course Wang Wenzuo knows the weight of this promise. As the saying goes, shrines and shrines have a reputation for flowing water. These shrines and temples in Japan may not look like mountains and rivers, but they all belong to the year of the tortoise and live a long life. The potential is thick. I want to explore for minerals locally, but without the cooperation of such local forces, I will definitely get half the result with twice the effort.
"What are you talking about!" Aguo said with a smile: "Zofuden and I, Izumo Taisha, are family members. Helping you is helping the Taisha itself, so why should we thank you?"
As soon as A Guo was sent away, Cao Sengnu fell to his knees on the ground and kowtowed. Wang Wenzuo snorted coldly, returned to the front seat and sat down. After a moment, he said: "Well, this Aguo is really a difficult character. Even I can't do anything to her. This time I let her take advantage of it!"
"If the Lord finds it troublesome, why don't I send a few disciples on the way -" Cao Wenzong stretched out his right hand and made a slashing gesture.
"That's not necessary!" Wang Wenzuo said with a dumb smile: "Now that it's like this, what can we do even if we kill her? This Aguo is a measured person. It's better to deal with such a person than with that kind of brainless fool. It saves a lot of effort! Don't you think so? Monk Nu?" Wang Wenzuo's last words were to Cao Monk Nu.
"The villain's sins are serious, please punish me!" Cao Sengnu knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, but he was secretly happy in his heart. Since Wang Wenzuo was willing to call himself a fool, he would probably not kill himself, as long as his life was saved. Yes, everything else can be discussed in the long term.
"Of course you are guilty. As for the punishment!" Wang Wenzuo thought for a while: "Originally, I planned to leave all the mining of the Yunguo silver mine to you, but now I can only change it to Shoujun Dashi. You treat him as his deputy!"
"Thank you Lord for your magnanimity!"
"As for Ji Jian Chi Xing?" Wang Wenzuo hesitated for a moment, and for a moment he didn't know what to do with it. In terms of responsibility, Ji Jian Chi Xing was the heaviest among the three, but the next matter of mining the silver mine was inseparable. He, he thought for a while: "When you go back, give him and Sha Zha Xiangru fifty lashes each, and then say that I originally wanted to give Chiyun a hundred lashes, but I sent the fifty lashes for the time being because of the mining matter. , if you don't do it well, you will be punished with fifty lashes and other crimes!"
"Yes, yes, the villain has remembered it!" After hearing this, Cao Sengnu couldn't help but feel resentment secretly. Of course, he knew that if he was allowed to take charge of the silver mining, there would be countless benefits in the future. He was originally a businessman, and he took money very seriously, but because of Ji Jian Chi Yang, he lost all the fat in his mouth. As the culprit, Ji Jian Chi Yang only took fifty lashes before he was done with it. This kind of hatred It all fell on Ji Jian Chiyun's head.
"Wenzong! I need you to do something for me!" When Cao Sennu retreated, Wang Wenzuo suddenly said: "But you have to remember, you must keep this matter secret and not let anyone else know! Even Cui Hongdu , He Bayong and the others can’t do it either, do you understand?”
"Please don't worry, Ming Gong!" Cao Wenzong bowed slightly: "If it is leaked, it will be my fault!"
"Okay!" Wang Wenzuo showed a smile: "Starting from tomorrow, I will collect boys aged 10 to 12 from all over the country. You can choose 300 strong and smart ones from them. In addition, you came from Dinglin Temple Select thirty young people and serve as captains of these young people, and treat them all as your disciples! The funds used will come from my own pocket!"
"I understand!" Cao Wenzong nodded: "But what does the Lord plan to do with these young men?"
"You have seen what happened this time!" Wang Wenzuo sneered: "These subordinates of mine are all rabble-rousers recruited temporarily from all directions. If they join forces for profit, they will also leave for profit. If we don't take precautions in advance, I'm afraid that in the future I will die at the hands of these people and make the world laugh! These three hundred children have left their families and have been raised and trained by me since they were young. When they grow up, they will naturally be loyal to me and become the best armor on my body. !”
"I understand!" Cao Wenzong lowered his head. His forehead was already covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans. Of course he knew that this was a double-edged sword. If he could educate these children well, he would become Wang Wenzuo's subordinate. The number one confidant, but if something goes wrong, it's not something he can withstand with his own life. His knees softened and he knelt down: "Please rest assured, Ming Gong, I will definitely handle this matter properly even if I risk my life!"
"Very good!" Wang Wenzuo stretched out his hand to help Cao Wenzong up: "You follow me every day, so you should know very well what kind of person I am. It is indeed taboo to hide armor privately and raise dead soldiers, but my situation is different from others. It’s different, this is also a last resort!”
"My subordinates understand!" Cao Wenzong said in a deep voice: "Ming Gong, you are closely related to the overall situation of the country. There are many barbarians, Di Rong and barbarians under your command. Why don't you be more careful?"
"Okay, as long as you understand, then I'll leave everything to you!" Wang Wenzuo let out a sigh of relief.

"The king wants to build a new temple? Will everyone's land be taxed more?" Tanba Kunsi asked in disbelief: "This, this can't be true, right? Even the manors of various ministers will be taxed?"
Refreshing sunlight filters through the clamshell windows embedded in the sloping wall, and breezes blow gently in from the terrace outside, bringing in the fragrance of flowers and fruits in the garden. "You heard it right," the handsome middle-aged man said, "Your Majesty does have this plan, but it is not to build a new temple, but to rebuild the Shitennoji Temple that was destroyed by the war. It will only be larger than the original one after the reconstruction is completed. Many of them are equivalent to new ones.”
"Is your majesty crazy?" The minister put down his wine glass angrily: "There has been no such rule since ancient times. Even the king cannot touch the estates of your lords. Besides, our Tanba country was on her side at the beginning, and we also sent many Less food. Now that she has defeated Katsuragi and confiscated so many farm tribesmen, isn’t it enough? This is too greedy!"
I saw a book friend in the discussion forum said that this chapter said too little. I also felt strange. I should say that my writing was not bad! However, it seems that there are only so many subscriptions. I still hope that everyone will support me so that I can eat more chicken!
