Chapter 451
Of course, Li Yan knew that if the incident that happened in Dongmu was really related to these envoys sent to Tang, they would definitely be the best to guard the city in Chang'an City. There are many people here, which is quite conducive to exchanging information or issuing tasks.
Seeing through but not saying it out loud, Li Neng naturally understood this point quite well. After no one raised any objections, Li Neng began the next step he had already arranged, which was to let these envoys of the Tang Dynasty use lottery to determine where they were going to, so as to show the fairness of the arrangement.
Although all the places Li Qing provided to them were not well-developed in the Tang Dynasty's farming and sericulture affairs, he was afraid that these envoys sent the Tang Dynasty would really master all the skills of farming the people in the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time.
However, there are also differences in these places. Some are in the snow and ice, some are on the hot seaside, and some are not very far from Chang'an City, and the difference here is also very big.
Li Neng asked a servant beside him to come to them with a can of things that seemed to be a fortune teller when he was telling fortunes, and asked them to draw the lottery one by one. Each lottery had a different number from others, but no one knew what this number represented.
After everyone was finished smoking, Li Yan gave another order. A guard beside him took out a map from his sleeve and spread it directly on the ground in front of many envoys to send Tang.
On this map, there are many place names drawn in densely, and there are corresponding numbers on the place names, which are exactly the numbers drawn by these envoys of the Tang Dynasty before.
At this moment, almost everyone knew what the numbers they had drawn before meant. Yamamoto Kogoro also quickly looked at the numbers he had drawn. It happened to be a small town not far from the seaside and Huang County on Henan Road. The position he was to hold was the farmer and messenger in the small town. He had a small salary, and his responsibility was to observe the growth of crops in this small town and then report it on time.
He was a smart man and knew that Li Yan might indeed be a good emperor. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty did this, perhaps to help tribes and countries that did not work in agriculture and sericulture, and the people could not do anything except grazing and relying on the weather for their own food. Naturally, there was no problem with this original intention.
But Japan is not such a country. They feel that they don’t need to learn from the farming and sericulture. Few Japanese people starve to death because they can’t eat.
They have long learned to be reliable. God has given Japan the resources that almost the entire Japan is close to the coast, so the fish resources are quite abundant, and they can almost be said to be inexhaustible. Although fish is a bit unpalatable for them, filling the stomach is definitely enough.
They themselves think that the biggest problem with Japan is that their territory is too small, and it is an island country. If there are any storms on the sea, both their farmland and their population will experience a disaster.
So if their entire country wants to get rid of these, they have to move to a large place. Where is this place? Isn’t it the place where the Tang Dynasty is?
What they really want to learn now is not how to farm, but to understand the weapons, armor and tactics of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Only in this way can they develop their own army in a targeted manner, and then take down the Tang Dynasty with a thunderous momentum when the Tang Dynasty suffered some difficulties. In this way, this vast place will be their own.
However, this idea is definitely impossible for them to show on the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Everything will be carried out in secret. He has been in Chang'an City before, feeling comfortable and has come into contact with many people, which is a great benefit.
According to Yamamoto Kogoro's idea, if he was assigned to a too remote and barren land, he would raise this question in front of Li Qing. However, when he saw that he had been assigned to the vicinity of Huang County by chance, he felt relieved.
Needless to say, the matter of the warship is one of the key tasks of my trip this time. If I go there, there will be many things that I don’t have to be separated by several people. At least the safety is greatly enhanced, which is definitely not a bad thing.
Although he may not be as comfortable as before this time, Yamamoto Kogoro knew that it was not without benefits to go to such a small town. It would be obviously much safer when he met some of his offline.
The imperial guards in Chang'an City had a lot of eyewitnesses, which forced Yamamoto Kogoro to reduce the number of meetings with those from Japan. Now when he was in a small city, he naturally would not be so restricted.
But what he didn't know was that this seemingly sudden and fair thing was a routine that Li Lei had already decided.
Their lottery is of course true. After all, for those countries that really don’t master any farming techniques, Li Yi really wants to help, but Li Yi’s guards have several maps that have been prepared long ago. According to the numbers drawn by the Japanese, Li Yi decided to ask him to take out which one.
The purpose of doing this is to prevent Yamamoto Kogoro from being assigned to other places, resulting in the inability to monitor him well. This place, which is only more than 100 miles away from Huang County and Dongmu Capture, was prepared by Li Qing himself for the Tang envoys of the Japanese. When Yamamoto Kogoro got this place, it means that his entire team got this place. Although it was a bit suspicious of fishing, if the Japanese had no bad intentions, they would not be able to catch them.
Although Li Neng actually didn't take a small Japanese seriously, this was an enemy at sea. Although it was not very powerful, it was just enough to train the Tang Dynasty naval army that Li Neng started to rectify again.
It can be said that some of what Li Qing did now are for drills, because the opponents that the Tang Dynasty encountered on the sea in the future would only become more and more difficult to deal with. Even if you have the most powerful warships and the largest number of navy in the world, if you have no experience in navigating or fighting at sea, it will basically be zero.
Japan has caught up now, and it has just blocked Li Neng's development path. Then Li Neng can only say sorry to them and then use his own methods to eliminate them.
