Counting his age, Himiko should be in his [-]s or [-]s, right?Not to mention sons, grandchildren probably should have.

After all, it is a formal audience, even if it is a remote and small country that does not know where it is, the monarch of the Han Dynasty should treat it seriously.Not just politeness, but more importantly, deterrence.

The envoy came in following the lead of the visitor, and was surrounded by Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists.The envoy came all the way, and the first thing he felt was a strong killing intent and fighting intent.

On the surface, he is still calm, but in fact he is already a little afraid, or in awe!

At this time, the country of Wa was separated from the great Han by the Tsushima Strait.Using Tsushima Island as an intermediary, it is not difficult to cross the sea in a calm period.They can cross the sea, and the big man can also cross the sea...

At the same time, the weapons, armor, supplies and even luxury goods of the big Han are all needed by the Japanese country.Even the lowest-end bronze wares can make Yamatai invincible.

At least, in the early years, the slave country resisted them for a long time with the bronze sword stabbed by the big man.I don't know how many warriors from the Yamatai Kingdom died in the battle against the slave kingdom.

"Wo Kingdom, Jian Yulei, have an audience, big man, the emperor!" The envoy came to Liu Tao and paid his respects in not-so-authentic Chinese.

With a bit of Qin opera, it doesn't look like... Liu Tao immediately remembered that this is the elegant dialect of Qi, that is, the Mandarin of Qi in the Warring States period.I met Kong Rong a few years ago, and his speech probably has this accent, at least similar.

Thinking about it, Xu Fu is said to be from Shandong, that is, from Qi.Naturally, he is responsible for teaching the boys and girls under his command.Of course, it can't be the official dialect of Qin State, or the elegant language of Han Dynasty, it is most likely the elegant language of Qi State.

As for why the Japanese envoy knew Chinese, he should have learned it from someone who knew Chinese.

For example, the Han Chinese who were accidentally caught in a storm and drifted to Kyushu Island.For example, the slave country came to the Han Dynasty before and learned the Chinese language.Anyway, since you are going to be a big man, you must learn the official language of the big man.

"Jian Yulei, is this the pronunciation?" Liu Tao looked at the Japanese envoy with great interest.

"Exactly..." the latter quickly replied.

Han Dynasty official dialect with Qilu Yayu pronunciation...Jianyulei should be the best transliteration, it sounds like Genggurui, or 'General' Lei.Liu Tao felt that he should introduce himself, that he is the Japanese country, general, and Lei.

After all, when envoys come to have an audience, it is normal for the name of the country to be followed by the name of the official position.He spoke quickly, so it sounded like Jian Yulei.

"Are you in Japan, are you a general?" Liu Tao asked tentatively.

"Yes, under the Riling girl's sect, General!" Jian Yulei nodded, or the general named 'Lei'.Of course, whether it is called "Lei" is another matter, after all, it is only the result of transliteration.

Considering the problem of translation, especially since later generations advocated "faithfulness and elegance", it is not surprising to have a translator like Jian Yulei.

It is also possible that Cao Pi heard him introduce himself and thought it was Jian Yulei, so it was equivalent to giving him a name.The evidence is that Jianyulei's son, Jianyu Mingfang, also takes Jianyu as his surname.Question In this era, Japanese surnames should not be perfect, right?

Historically, those with the surname Jianyu were basically just the two father and son.It gives people the impression that the "Wei Wangci surname" is more likely than the original surname.

"So I should call you General Lei, right?" Liu Tao continued to ask, he didn't want to 'give you a surname'.

"Yes!" Lei nodded, not understanding why the Emperor of Han was struggling with this.

"Okay, General Lei, this time you came all the way from Japan, what's the matter?" Liu Tao asked formally.

"Foreign minister, bring, a present. Hope, big man, make friends!" Lei said bumpily.

Liu Tao looked at Lu Wen from the Ministry of Rites, who nodded, indicating that the Japanese did bring a gift.He also compared a finger, indicating that it is average.Maybe it is very expensive or even rare to them, but to the big man, maybe it is ordinary.

However, diplomacy can't be counted that way. Courtesy can be light and friendship can be heavy. As long as the exchanges between the two parties are profitable, then they can have deep friendship.

The question is, what benefits can Wa country bring to itself?population?Forget it, even if there is a large team of vaccinations organized there, it is estimated that no one will like Japanese women.Ordinarily, ordinary Japanese women are the real natives of the Japanese country. Only nobles, that is, people who may be imported from abroad, can be close to the aesthetics of China.

It's just that the imported population and the local population have reproduced for so many years, and their appearance is estimated to be very different from that of the native Chinese people.Liu Tao is also worried that intermarriage with Japanese will lower Huaxia's average height.

There are quite a lot of metals in Japan, such as gold mines, silver mines, and copper mines.It happened that China was short of copper, considering the subsequent economic development, to be honest, Liu Tao even planned to cast gold and silver into five baht coins.

For example, one silver five baht coin is worth ten copper five baht coins.One gold five baht coin is worth one hundred copper five baht coins; even solid gold and silver coins can be cast.For example, a silver coin is worth fifty copper baht coins, a gold coin is worth five hundred copper five baht coins or something...

This has to be discussed with the Ministry of Household Affairs, and at the same time cooperate with Dahan Bank, which is in charge of Liu Hua, before it can be launched.

There are not so many gold and silver mines in China, so you can consider getting them from Yamatai.Compared with seafood or fur, or even slaves, this is obviously more valuable.

"It's okay to make friends, but I need to set up a trading terminal in Yamatai, in the north and in the south." Liu Tao replied.

"That's, what? Foreign minister, stupid..." Lei was a little confused, but then realized something, and quickly bowed his head to apologize.

"It is the place where ships are allowed to dock and trade with you." Liu Tao explained.

"Big man, trade, welcome!" Lei said in surprise, this news is great.The purpose of his coming was to find a way to get some big men's weapons and armor back.

"In order to protect the trade pier, I will send people to guard it." Liu Tao reminded.

"It should, it should!" Lei didn't refuse, and even thought it was better.

Chapter 682 Almost Forgot Shipping Construction

People in this era are a bit simple, and those who have established several trading ports on their own land, plus garrisons, can still be as happy as a three-year-old child.No no, this is not mocking his height...

"Finally, there is a condition that the Han people can live there within [-] miles around the port. Their safety is protected by the Han, and I hope Yamatai can guarantee their safety." Liu Tao finally made an even more extreme condition.

"Of course, of course!" The latter became even happier.It seems that these conditions are so favorable for the Wa country, and it is completely the same as the Wa country making money.

Looking at his own country, he is so happy to be regarded as a colony by others... Liu Tao seems to understand that different eras have different views on this.Maybe people really feel that it is an incomparable honor to be able to admire the might of the great man up close?

The question is that you are so happy, so don't you need to give you other gifts?The big man is not rich, so save a little if you can...

After thinking for a while, he expressed his opinion: "If General Lei thinks there is no problem, then the letter of credence can be signed immediately. The location of the port, the big man will send people to Japan to check it in the future, and then choose a site for construction, is it possible?"

"Yes, yes!" Lei nodded quickly, as if he was afraid that Liu Tao would regret it.

"Hmm... As a ye (ye, Mo Xie's ye) Ma Tai, and the friendship with the big man, I will give you a hundred iron swords, twenty ring knives, and ten sets of armor." Liu Tao said immediately.

By the way, give Jian Yong a look and ask him to pick the cheap one, preferably the replaced one.Anyway, there is no smelting technology over there. If these weapons and armor are simply repaired and polished, they will become magical weapons over there.

As for the three artifacts, sorry, no!

In the final analysis, it is a Gouyu, a bronze mirror and a bronze sword... Ordinarily, it is not a valuable thing in a big man, but it was given to Queen Himiko by Emperor Wei Cao Pi.

Himiko's grandson is Emperor Jimmu, and these three things are regarded as a symbol of the emperor's succession orthodoxy, so fuck it.

Don't say anything about myths, just like Chinese myths, they are actually Chinese history.Japanese mythology, in fact, is equivalent to Japanese history, how much beautification is unknown, anyway, their make-up skills are indeed amazing.

Liu Tao remembered that in "The Lord of the Great Country", Susanoo was the leader of Touma, which was the enemy of Yamatai at that time.Of course, it may also be an ally.

According to the legend, Amaterasu promised to let Susano rule the world, but he betrayed his promise and killed him, and then his son ruled the world.Later, the Toma Kingdom was destroyed by the Yamatai Kingdom, and Susanoo was also defeated and died... This is the historical fact behind the Japanese myth.

Why did Liu Tao watch "The Lord of the Great Kingdom", because the background of the era of the Lord of the Kingdom happened to be China's Three Kingdoms period; another half of the reason was that he was really too free.

The envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, General Lei, said that he is under the command of the Japanese Spirit Girl, and the Japanese Spirit Girl is the great god Amaterasu, also known as Himiko.In the end, she was also the Queen of Yamatai.Regardless of whether the real history is like this or not, anyway, judging from the current situation, at least this is the case in this world.

When Lei heard that there were still armor and weapons, he became even happier and thanked Liu Tao for his gift.

In such a harmonious environment, the two sides completed diplomatic gestures, which were basically Liu Tao's unilateral performance...

Later, he was invited to stay for a meal, but soon Liu Tao regretted it.Although this person has also learned to use chopsticks, he has never seen the world, and the food in the palace is carefully prepared. If he doesn't eat it, he will have no image.
