Chapter 2080 Japan's Arrangement
This huge city was called the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps, but this was later changed at the request of Prince Ji. It was originally called Prince Ji City.
Because it has been called that for a long time, everyone has gotten used to it, except that what is written on the city gate is "The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps".
According to King Ji's request, an academy was set up in the Tang Dynasty's City That Never Sleeps to teach the working people to read and speak the Tang language.
The Prince Ji's Mansion did not force the laborers to study, but simply divided them into different levels. The lowest level was those who knew nothing and were paid the least.
Those who can barely speak some simple Tang words are at the second level and will be paid more.
The third level is the ability to communicate fluently, and the fourth level is the ability to read and write, which only requires knowing one thousand words.
As for the last level, the highest level, the fifth level, one must meet the requirements of all levels and study various classics.
Not only that, the children in the family also have to study in the college.
Nowadays, there are very few people who can reach the fifth level.
The fifth level of workers are already considered management level. They do not have to do physical labor, and their wages are several times that of the first level workers. It is no problem for them to support a whole family.
This hierarchy system allowed the workers to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty while working.
Because they know that if they learn Tang culture well, they can earn more and work more easily.
Now many laborers send their children to the colleges of the Tang Dynasty. Their idea is simple: after they have learned enough, they can work for the people of the Tang Dynasty.
If they are lucky, they can even sail across the ocean to the Tang Dynasty to see the paradise they have always dreamed of. It is said that the moon in the Tang Dynasty is rounder than that in Japan.
The land of the Tang Dynasty was covered with gold, the people had enough food and clothing, and the sky of the Tang Dynasty was blue.
"Manager Liu, Di has given you 50,000 people this time. I hope you can do it."
"Don't worry, young master. With these 50,000 people, even though they are women, I am confident that the project can be completed on time."
Liu Su immediately assured Di Renjie.
Di Renjie nodded and continued:
"Okay, then this matter is settled. You will decide the distribution of these women. Although they are not women from the Tang Dynasty,
But we must also have a kind heart and discipline the men below us. If we find anyone with ill intentions, we will sink him into the sea to feed the fish.
And take care of yourselves. Don't think that Di doesn't know what you are doing.
Di didn't say anything because you didn't force him, otherwise you would have suffered the same fate.
Especially the guards, Commander Chen, you must control the people below you very well. If they want the woman to get married, Di has no objection.
His Royal Highness Prince Ji had promised them that they would be able to return to their childhood self in five years, and now anyone here could marry and have children.
But if you find that they use force... don't blame me for being ruthless. They were born as slaves and should understand the pain of being bullied."
"Yes, please rest assured, young master. I will definitely control these barbarians and will not let them do anything reckless. If anyone does, I will kill him with my own hands."
Commander Chen stood up immediately. He was also from the Imperial Guard Battalion and was responsible for leading these 5,000 northern slave soldiers.
"Okay, you all go, and the stewards stay."
Di Renjie said something to the stewards at the back, and they all stood up, saluted and left, leaving only a few senior stewards at the front.
After the people left, Di Renjie spoke:
“You are all direct descendants of the Ji Wang Mansion, and you should also know why His Royal Highness Ji Wang wanted to build this Ji Wang City.
His Royal Highness Prince Ji said that if the plan is to be implemented smoothly, it must be recognized by the Japanese people.
As long as they surrender, the Japanese court will not have to worry about anything.
Therefore, what we need to do now is to demonstrate the benevolence of our Tang Dynasty and make them envy and yearn for it.
This way, when His Royal Highness Prince Ji attacks us in the future, he will be welcomed by the Japanese people. You must remember this."
"Don't worry, young master. We all know it, but we don't know when His Royal Highness Prince Ji will be able to implement the plan.
It has been several years. "A senior steward said. They all hoped that Prince Ji would attack Japan as soon as possible, and their mission would be accomplished.
I heard that the rewards will be very generous by then.
"Haha, don't worry, I believe this day is coming soon. As long as we finish building this city, the plan can be implemented.
How is the map drawn?" Di Renjie laughed.
"My dear young master, we have already drawn half of it, but it is difficult to find people who can speak Tang language, and many of those who can speak Tang language have never left here.
So our progress is slow.”
As soon as Di Renjie asked, someone responded.
"We have to hurry up and not delay the prince's plan. You can think of a way to buy it from those daimyo. Even if it's not accurate, you can at least have a general idea."
Di Renjie suggested.
"Yes."
"Has the Japanese court provided any information?" Di Renjie looked at another person.
The man quickly stood up and replied:
"My dear young master, since Nakano Oe and Nakatomi Kamatari exterminated the Soga no Iruka clan, the Japanese nation has undergone a major transformation. Their Emperor Kotoku issued an edict of reform.
Comprehensively learn the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty and implement land reform and rent and commission adjustments.
A new official system and system of crowns and ranks were formulated, and an official system of two officials, eight provinces, and one Taiwan, as well as a three-level local system of state, county, and prefecture were established.
It basically imitates the three-province and six-department system and the system of prefectures, states, and counties of our Tang Dynasty. Even the official positions are similar. "
"It seems that Emperor Kotoku has some talent. He even came up with the idea of emulating the Tang Dynasty to consolidate the imperial power and concentrate power." Di Renjie couldn't help but admire after hearing this.
"Young Master, even so, the daimyo and clans in various places do not support it."
"Of course, who wants to have their power taken away? We might as well start from here and secretly incite the noble families in various places.
We can’t let the Japanese court do things too smoothly, we have to give them some trouble.”
Di Renjie thought about it and suggested that since there was a conflict of interest, that would be the best thing to do, as the Ji Palace was best at fanning the flames.
"Yes, I will arrange for people to spread the news everywhere."
"Is there any news recently?" Di Renjie continued to ask. He still needed to summarize the news and send it back to Prince Ji's Mansion.
“Also, not long ago, the Left Minister of Japan, Abenouchimaro, passed away, and Emperor Kotoku came out of the Suzaku Gate and wept and lamented.
Soga no Hyuga slandered his brother, the Right Minister Soga no Ishikawa Maro, in front of Prince Naka no Oe. Emperor Kotoku ordered the arrest of Soga no Ishikawa Maro, but Soga no Ishikawa Maro escaped.
Our people know where Soga Ishikawamaro is, but they didn't touch him." The steward continued to report.
Upon hearing this news, Di Renjie's eyes lit up:
"Right Minister? That should be equivalent to the Prime Minister, right? Send out orders immediately to rescue Soga no Ishikawamaro and wait for the prince's arrangements.
He may be useful to the prince in the future."
(It is too difficult to find this little bit of information. The Feinian era is equivalent to their ancient times, and the only thing missing is the oracle bone inscriptions.)
