I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Li Tian immediately said: "Draft an imperial decree to have Fan Jian return to Kyoto immediately to take up the post of Jingzhao Yin!"

But who will replace him?

Li Tian thought of someone.

Censor Tian Liang!

He was the incompetent censor he met when he went to Yuhang!

Exactly!

Tian Liang also made some contributions when he put down the Huaihe Rebellion last time.

But this guy has average abilities, he must be a mediocrity!

It’s him, let him go to Goryeo to mess around!

Li Tian said: "The Imperial Censor Tian Liang has made some achievements in suppressing the Huaihe Rebellion. Send him to Goryeo to serve as the pacification envoy."

After dealing with the culprit, Li Tian thought of Tang Yan again!

This brother-in-law is the one who stabbed me in the back!

If he hadn't provided the musket barrel and thunder pill, Fan Jian wouldn't have been able to conquer the two countries so easily!

Li Tian said: "Where is my eldest brother-in-law now?"

Tang Hanxue said: "Brother seems to have gone south and is almost in Yuhang."

Well, this guy left me a mess and went to Yuhang to enjoy himself?

No, we can't let him have it easy!

Li Tian immediately said, "Isn't my elder brother-in-law also serving as the Secretary of the Maritime Customs? I plan to set up a trade port in the south, so let my elder brother-in-law work hard."

After speaking, Li Tian drew a circle in the southern part of Da Zhou and said:

"That's it! Let him go south immediately, without any delay! Establish a trade port here as soon as possible."

After saying this, Li Tian returned to his bedroom.

Tang Hanxue asked someone to bring a more accurate map and pointed out the place where Li Tian drew a circle.

Xiangjiang River.

"Go find the memorial submitted by the Governor of Southern Fujian a month ago."

“It’s right there on that shelf.”

The Queen removed all the decorations, leaving only a few large bookcases.

Those shelves are full of recent memorials.

Tang Hanxue said to the palace maid.

The little palace maid took out the requested memorial and handed it to Tang Hanxue.

it is as expected.

Your Majesty did not draw this casually.

A month ago, the Governor of Southern Fujian submitted a memorial.

It is said that some Western barbarians arrived at the Xiangjiang River on sailboats.

Those Western barbarians bought up the specialties of the Great Zhou at Xiangjiang River.

The Governor of Southern Fujian did not dare to make a decision on this matter, so he asked the court to make a decision.

It turns out that His Majesty asked my brother to go to Xiangjiang for this matter.

It seems that Da Zhou is going to develop maritime trade.

Tang Hanxue quickly wrote a letter home and brought it to Tang Yan together with the imperial edict.

The Goryeo king and his ministers who were escorted to the capital finally had a good night's sleep.

The imperial decree of the Great Zhou court came down, not punishing them for their rebellion.

Just when the King of Goryeo breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask when he could return to Goryeo.

Jia Renyi, the cabinet deputy who was in charge of announcing the decree, smiled and said:

"Your Majesty said that treating a small foreign vassal state is like a father treating his son. Education must be the first priority."

"Goryeo rebelled. Although His Majesty has spared your lives, you still need to receive an education!"

The King of Goryeo trembled when he heard this.

Jia Renyi said, "Your Majesty, please live in Kyoto. From now on, Hanlin scholars will come to teach you the etiquette and legal system of our Great Zhou Dynasty every day."

"When you understand the Great Zhou etiquette and know the relationship between father and son, and between ruler and minister, then return to Goryeo!"

The old King of Goryeo's eyes darkened. They wanted to imprison him to death!

The Goryeo king and his ministers immediately cried out in horror.

Jia Renyi snorted coldly: "Stop crying!"

"Anyone who dares to cry is questioning His Majesty's decision!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped crying!

Jia Renyi added: "Compared to Japan, the heirs of the Goryeo royal family and nobles must all come to the Great Zhou for further study!"

"Of course, you will pay for your study abroad expenses. If you fail the examination to become a scholar of the Great Zhou, you will not be allowed to return home!"

After hearing this, the King of Goryeo fainted.

He regretted deeply why he had been so impulsive and dared to offend the Great Zhou.

Even his own children had to come to the Great Zhou as hostages.

Isn't this just a one-shot deal?

At this time, the Japanese hostage delegation was walking into the gate of Kyoto with curiosity.

Igawa Kozo is the second son of the current Shogun of Japan.

After Fan Jian entered the "Kyoto" of Japan, he forced the Shogun to change his name to the Protector of Japan.

Now, Igawa Kozo is the second son of the Japanese Protector General.

The second son has almost no inheritance rights.

Hirozo Igawa came to the capital of the Great Zhou as a hostage.

Seeing the majestic Kyoto city gate and the prosperous Kyoto, Igawa Kozo was completely stunned.

Compared with the Great Zhou, Japan seems to be a poor and remote place.

Even the capital of Japan cannot be compared with the cities of the Great Zhou along the way.

Compared with Kyoto, the capital of Japan is more like a small village.

Looking at the prosperous Kyoto, Kozo Igawa developed a strong sense of inferiority!

The Great Zhou is indeed the most superior country in the world!

No wonder Fan Jian, a mere Goryeo pacification envoy, was able to defeat Japan with a few thousand men!

The people of Japan are really frogs in a well!

Kozo Igawa couldn't help but feel sad for his father and others!

They are fighting openly and secretly in Japan and have no idea about such a beautiful world!

Big week!

In Igawa Hirozo's heart, Da Zhou has become a holy place in his heart!

Igawa Hirozo was full of admiration for the emperor of the Great Zhou, whom he had never met.

The emperor of the Great Zhou must be the most powerful and richest person in the world!

The Japanese islanders have this kind of character.

Admire the strong, worship and respect the strong.

They can turn to the enemy quickly and without shame.

As long as you are stronger than them, you can tame them.

And once they show that they are inferior to them, they will rebel without hesitation.

So the Japanese are the real jackals!

But if used properly, it can also be a good dog for guarding the house.

Jeju Island.

The island was very busy at this time.

After receiving the imperial edict, Fan Jian hurriedly followed the eunuch back to Kyoto without waiting for the new pacification envoy to come and take over.

The position of Goryeo Pacifier is now vacant, but it still operates according to the regulations left by Fan Jian.

Merchants from the Great Zhou shipped Great Zhou's fine wine, silk, porcelain and ecstasy powder to Jeju Island.

Merchants from Goryeo and Japan would also come to Jeju Island to trade in their old ships.

Deerskins and gold from Japan were loaded onto merchant ships heading to the Great Zhou.

The sable furs and ginseng from Goryeo were also exchanged for fine wine, ecstasy powder and silk, and sent to the ships of the Great Zhou.

In addition to trading with the Great Zhou, Japan also purchased herbs and grains from Goryeo.

In this way, a triangular trading zone was formed.

Jeju Island prospered at a rapid pace and soon became a window for trade among the three countries.

The Goryeo pacification envoy also set up a tax collection agency in the market and began to collect taxes from passing ships.

In just a few days, the commercial taxes collected on Jeju Island filled the warehouses.

However, Fan Jian had already been promoted, so he could only wait for the new Goryeo pacification envoy Tian Liang to deal with it.

Li Tian didn't know yet that the treasury of the Great Zhou was about to experience another surge in wealth.
