In the evening, Yuwen Wen returned to his residence at the port. Manager Cui, who had been waiting for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him and some people returning safely. Today, these people were at a loss for him to get involved in Japanese affairs.

This time, Manager Cui personally took the boat south to trade the Liulijing to Bazhou. He also walked the route from the mouth of the Yellow River to Jiankang several times. In the same month of departure, he had traveled safely for the first few times, but this time there was an accident.

The sea route is dangerous, and even if you sail along the coastline, you have to pay attention to the weather, so you accept your fate when you encounter a big storm. But you don’t stop after logging in. Manager Cui wondered if the rumors were true?

"Shopkeeper Cui, is there anything wrong with my face?" Yuwen Wen did not call himself "I am the Lord" or "I am the official", but he was preventing his identity leak.

"Ah? Yu...Yu Langjun, he is distracted."

"Well, today's incident happened suddenly, which scared the shopkeeper Cui. The one just now... Well, anyway, the Japanese government said that the supply of wood will be given priority tomorrow and people will be sent to help. If you have a shopkeeper Cui supervising the repair of the ship."

"Please rest assured that the Japanese official has sent someone to contact us not long ago. We have made a list of the required supplies. The progress of ship repair tomorrow can be accelerated."

Yuwen Wen nodded, and after a moment of conversation, he returned to his own place of collapse. Manager Cui sighed softly and walked around. If he really wanted to explain to the sea, he would accept his fate. But if this person is gone, the boss will not be able to explain to the court.

Although it was a "snatching", this person must have left a letter, and others dare not say it. At least his father-in-law, Yuchi Shun, Gong of Angu County, must have it. If Yuwen Wen disappeared on the way south along the boat, they had a great family in Yecheng, and they could run away from the monks and could not run away from the temple.

Of course, sailing is not a joke, and there is nothing to do if something happens when something happens. Manager Cui is worried about the other side.

There are rumors that this newly promoted Duke of Zhu is a bit like that, and his luck is not ordinary. It took only a few months to come to Yecheng and has caused many things. I won’t talk about the grudges with the second son of Xipiluo, the general manager of Xuzhou. The key is that you can encounter the Sui army’s surprise attack when you go on a tour with the emperor.

The fleet set off south this time. Before leaving, Yuwen Wen came to the door to "snatch away". Manager Cui weighed the fact that he still followed the other party's arrangements, and did not dare to make any suggestions or make any ideas. He set sail according to the original plan.

Only Yuwen Wen can make the glass mirror with super high profits. If this person is successfully sent back to Shannan Bazhou, the future transactions will be safe. Manager Cui weighs the pros and cons and thinks that this risk is worth taking.

Okay, everyone is harmonious and it is not a big deal. The fleet goes south with dozens of people. If you sail along the coast, you can always escape the disaster. As a result, you are rolled up by a storm and you will inexplicably come to Japan, which is east of the Black Water Ocean.

There are only four ships left now. The remaining goods on the ship are not worth the price of buying a mirror, but Manager Cui is not worried. The staff losses are heavy, and the pension will not be a small amount.

As long as you can arrive in Bazhou safely, this is not a problem. Manager Cui was just worried about whether he had the life to leave Japan. Just a few days after docking, Yuwen Wen and his group started a conflict with the local forces. It was really a troublemaker!

There is still some time before the ship is repaired. Is it really okay?

Thinking of this, Manager Cui stopped and turned around and asked, "Does there anyone who speaks Japanese language in the sailor?"

"No one is proficient, but someone can listen to it roughly."

"Transfer these people and follow the men to act as a common cause, so as not to have misunderstandings with the Japanese again."

"yes."

......

At night, Yuwen Wen lay on the couch, thinking about the previous conversation with Simada and others, slowly finding useful information from some words, and improving the "evil" plan.

In this era, Japan was not a highly centralized country, but was actually composed of small countries formed by tribes. Then the Yamato Kingdom among them grew stronger and stronger. After the efforts of several generations of kings, it was the creation of the Yamato era.

Of course, Japan has never had a centralized court like the Central Plains. Similar to the Shang and Zhou dynasties of the Central Plains, there was a nominal co-lord, that is, the king, who later changed it to the Emperor.

The powerful families, Suwo, Wubu, etc., were similar to the aristocratic families of the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, and were full of close friends everywhere in control of the government. As the king of the Japanese king, they were careful to play a balance between the various wealthy families and important officials.

The Mubu clan should be the representative of those old tyrants. These tyrants developed by tribes naturally resist centralization, and as kings, they naturally tend to centralize, and conflicts between the two sides will inevitably arise.

If a king wants to centralize power, he has to rely on emerging aristocrats, such as Suwo family. However, it is unrealistic to directly overturn the table. He can only knock on the side and poach the walls, and religious belief is the entry point.

The clan god beliefs evolved from the beliefs of various tribes finally formed the Shinto faith. The gods and gods worshipped by Shinto not only include the ancestor gods of the King (Emperor), but also the clan gods of the central and local tyrants.

Shinto represents the authority of the king (Emperor) and is also the spiritual pillar of the old wealthy clan, such as the Wubu clan. On the one hand, these wealthy clans need to rely on the authority of the king to achieve their political goals, and on the other hand, they are also believers of traditional Shinto.

The belief in Shinto represents the interests of these wealthy families, but it is different for the emerging Suwo family. According to the words of Simada and others, Yuwen Wen judged that this tribe is closely related to the people who came to the ferry.

Maybe Su Wo clan itself is a Dulai clan, so he has little interest in the belief in Shinto.

To put it bluntly, the struggle between gods and Buddhas is the power struggle between the old and new families. The issue of religious belief is the appearance of political conflicts, and the attitude of the king of Japan towards this is very ambiguous and thought-provoking.

He tentatively allowed the establishment of Buddha statues and built Buddhist temples. When he encountered some problems, he immediately destroyed the Buddha and burned the temples. This was a fear of the rebound of the old rich family. He was willing to eliminate the roots, but he allowed Su I to believe in Buddhism himself. In fashionable words, "there must be something strange."

It is to keep a seed and germinate when the conditions are right. Of course, if the conditions are not right, then continue to make seeds.

As the supreme priest of Shinto faith, it is impossible for the king of Japan to "rebel". After all, the core of Shinto faith is the worship of the king (the emperor). The so-called legal right of the king's clan over Japan comes from the myths and legends of Shinto Tensun.

As the descendant of Amaterasu, the Great King (Emperor) is the representative of Amaterasu on earth and the manifested god of humanity. "The Unification of the God Emperor" and "All Eternal Lines" are the characteristics of Shinto faith.

But as the ultimate beneficiary of Shinto's faith, he would acquiesce to the promotion of equality of all living beings from outside the island. It seems to be no different from digging into a corner of the world, and it is even a bit ridiculous, but it is clear from the perspective of power struggle.

The reason is very simple: centralization.

He used emerging wealthy families such as Suwo family to suppress the old wealthy families, and then took the opportunity to take power from the old wealthy families. After waiting for the same temperature, he kicked the Suwo family, which threatened Shinto's beliefs and king status, away.

Throw it out as a scapegoat, calm the anger of the old rich clan, and give an explanation to his followers of Shinto faith. Of course, Su Mu's power was also taken back by the way, and all the purpose was to centralize power.

To put it bluntly, Buddhism, Suwo is just a tool, a tool for the king of Japan to fight for power and centralize power. It is used when needed and thrown away when used up, which is similar to a chamber pot.

He led one faction to fight another, and then threw the thug out as a scapegoat to calm the public's anger. In this way, the two factions suffered a great loss of strength and hated each other. The one who "arbitrated" became a good person and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

As a typical imperial power, the king of Japan may not allow Buddhism to develop greatly. He will interfere to a certain extent. He will once again support the old tyrants to deal with the new tyrants, worship Buddha, and eliminate Buddhas.

So Yuwen Wen had a sudden idea and tried to use Buddhism to harm Japan. It was not so easy to operate. Without strong continuous investment, this plan was basically no different from fantasy.

Does he have this kind of strength? No, at least not now.

Now he is still curled up in Shannan Bazhou. The tiger of Sui State has not been killed outside, and the hidden dangers of the Yuchi family broke out inside. These two fatal problems are not a joke. It is still a matter of being able to endure them.

If you can’t even eat enough, you will worry about world peace. Isn’t that too much?

Yuwen Wen didn't think that people always have a thought. Anyway, there is nothing to do in this ghost place, so he just wants to have ulterior motives: whether to do it or not is a problem of ability, and whether he is willing to do it is a problem of attitude.

It is not difficult to prepare for the transportation of Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, and even monks who are determined to spread the Dharma to Japan. The difficulty is the problem of navigation. The monk Jianzhen of the Tang Dynasty traveled to Japan six times before he succeeded.
