Chapter 1324 Comprehensive Tang Hua
Just as the nineteenth year of Zhenguan is about to pass and the twenty years of Zhenguan are coming.
Something of extraordinary significance happened in the countries around the Tang Dynasty.
The Silla Kingdom, which had suffered several major blows in succession, not only did not part ways with the Tang Dynasty, but instead implemented a major reform in one breath.
"Brother Jiujo, what do you think of Kim Seung-man's decision?"
In a yard in Jincheng, He Jian and Kyujo Hiroyuki sat in front of a table, eating hot pot while discussing the major events that happened in Jincheng.
Since He Jian received news that Jin Cheng would make a big move, he immediately rushed over from Pyongyang.
In recent years, under the intentional or unintentional control of the Tang Dynasty, the situation on the Korean Peninsula has been relatively stable overall.
Whether it is Silla, Baekje, South Goguryeo, North Goguryeo, or Goguryeo under Yoon Gaisuwen, no one dares to jump out and oppose the Tang Dynasty.
As for Japan, which occupied an enclave next to Baekje, I dare not say a word.
This situation made Hiroyuki Kyu and He Jian live in the Korean Peninsula as if they were in water and were overjoyed.
For the people of Chang'an City, the more expensive Silla maids would be different every day if they were willing.
"I heard that Jin Deman has completely ignored state affairs, and Jin Seung-man is completely in control of power. I heard that Silla has arranged a lot of envoys to send Tang to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the situation of our Tang Dynasty. This Jin Seung-man should have wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of fully imitating the Tang Dynasty and let Silla embark on the road of prosperity again."
As a Japanese, Hiroyuki Kujo obviously has a deeper understanding of the ideas of the nobles of the foreign countries.
"Well, Kim Seung-man's movements are very fast. In just less than a month, Kim Seung-man had undergone a very obvious change.
I heard that the Silla people directly expanded the scale of Confucius Institute to three times the original size, and were also planning to set up primary schools and primary schools in various prefectures and cities, all of which were taught Sinology.
Even the newly established Ministry of Education in the Silla Kingdom was Jin Shengman personally served as the minister, and many of the officials below were Tang people in the Confucius Institute.
Her actions are considered to show goodwill to our Tang Dynasty, right?"
He Jian felt that he was about to not understand the development of the situation here in Silla.
The situation is really changing too quickly.
Things that no one dared to think of before have become real now.
"Yes, it's true! And the Silla court is also preparing to take out 10% of the tax money to develop education.
On the one hand, they are building schools in the country, and on the other hand, they are preparing to continue to expand the number of students who go to study in the Tang Dynasty.
Anyone who has returned from the Tang Dynasty can get important in Jincheng. Now almost all the children of noble and wealthy businessmen plan to go to Chang'an City to study.
Even if they can't find a suitable academy to take in Chang'an City, they don't mind going to Luoyang, Dengzhou and other places.
Anyway, if there is no record of the Tang Dynasty in life, it seems that it will be difficult to be reused in Jincheng."
Hiroji Kyuki was also surprised by Kim Seung-man's big move.
According to Jin Shengman's approach, in a few decades, Silla will be almost the same as the Tao of the Tang Dynasty.
Do they have no worries?
Or did the Silla people bet that the Tang Dynasty did not dare to take this opportunity to annex Silla for the sake of benevolence, righteousness and morality?
"Do you think this change is a good or a bad thing for our Tang Dynasty?"
If it were in the past, He Jian would definitely not have any questions. It would be a great thing to have a foreign country and vassal state so devoted to the Tang Dynasty.
But this is the first time he has encountered a country like Silla Kingdom that has been fully Tang-like.
According to the current understanding, the establishment of the Ministry of Education, the establishment of the three provinces and six ministries, and other yamen institutions are completely copied from the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention teaching Sinology in various schools.
It is said that the officials here in Jincheng hope to use Tang language as the official language designated by Silla, so that ordinary people should also learn to teach.
This strength is absolutely unprecedented.
As for clothing and various living habits, they are all imitating the Tang Dynasty and no longer retain any traditional things from Silla.
Of course, Kim Seung-man must have encountered great help in doing this.
After all, no matter what era or country it is, conservatives are a force that must exist.
However, Kim Seung-man is in power now, and the living environment around Silla has changed a lot, and the conservatives can't do anything.
"Brother He, His Highness of the King of Chu has been willing to cooperate with the Imperial College and the Confucius Family to build Confucius Institutes in various foreign countries. Isn't it just that everyone can learn Confucianism and our writings from the Tang Dynasty?
So I think His Highness the King of Chu should be happy to see this change in the Silla Kingdom.
However, it is really hard to generalize whether it is good or bad.
Not to mention anything else, after learning from our Tang Dynasty, Jincheng has now put no restrictions on the development of industry and commerce, and it can even be said to be unprecedented encouragement.
Not only did they provide very low tax support to industry and commerce, they also encouraged all noble merchants and craftsmen to open workshops themselves to transport various goods to Silla and to Datang for sale.
In my opinion, Jin Shengman hopes to take advantage of the opportunity of reform to develop Silla's industry and commerce, and then sell goods to Datang, so as to obtain richer returns, thereby promoting the further development of reform."
Hirozhi of Kyujo is now responsible for the commercial affairs of the Chu Prince's Mansion on the peninsula.
Therefore, I am still very familiar with the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Silla Kingdom.
It is obvious that in the previous trade, the Tang Dynasty must have had an advantage.
Whether it is transporting the goods from the Tang Dynasty to Jincheng or transporting the specialties of Silla back to the Tang Dynasty, Tang merchants are busy with their work.
But now that Silla is so encouraging business development, there will definitely be many businesses starting to go to Datang to do business.
In this way, the commercial channels originally monopolized by the Tang people will definitely undergo great changes.
It is almost inevitable that part of the profits will be divided by the Silla people.
The most important thing is that the Silla people who have turned around will definitely be able to quickly develop business in several countries around them.
This advantage is not comparable to that of the Tang people.
After all, the Silla people had to go to Baekje to do business, Japan to do business, or to go to the South Goguryeo Kingdom to do business, which was all geographically advantageous than the Tang Dynasty.
Even in terms of language, their advantages are obvious.
"I don't know what instructions will be given to us after His Highness Chu knows this. I'm a little confused about how to deal with this change in the Silla people."
Regarding some small things, He Jian naturally knew what he should do.
However, when encountering such a change that has not been seen in a century, his judgment ability is not enough.
Are you supporting the Silla people in this change, or watching, or opposing it?
It seems that each has its own reasons.
"Your Highness the King of Chu should have received our report. During this period, we will sort out the situation in Jincheng in detail. The situation should be clearer at that time, and Your Highness the King of Chu will be easier to judge.
Before the arrival of His Highness the King of Chu's new instructions, I think it's better to watch the changes of the Silla people first.
Of course, if the actions of the Sillas harm our interests, then you must not be polite."
This suggestion from Kyutsu Hiroyuki is considered to be more modest.
However, at this moment, it is the best countermeasure of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the King of Chu Palace.
"Okay, let's follow what you said first. After we carefully understand the content and impact of the changes of the Silla people, we will send His Highness the King of Chu back every week.
Anyway, Silla has undergone such a big change and it is not possible to completely change it in a day or two, so we don’t have to rush to decide how to deal with it immediately.”
