What happened to Japan with frequent foreign exchanges is normal. For a long time, due to the closed isolated island environment, it suddenly became exposed to advanced culture on a large scale, and naturally changed drastically.

The waves of envoys sent to Tang and the waves of envoys from the East made Japan a Buddhist country, and the Central Plains Luoyin became a common term for the nobles and nobles. Chinese characters were also common characters. It was just Confucianism and had not been circulated in the lower class, but just the private school of the nobles.

As Kyushu Island was occupied by Li Jia, a large number of Japanese people came to study. Compared with Buddhism and Taoism, Confucianism was the one who made the most profits. Japan, which had been closed for many years, suddenly opened the door to exchanges. The ministers and ministers who have ruled the country for a long time seemed not concerned about this change.

Li Jia actually didn't care about the undercurrents far away, or he was happy to see it.

The so-called Celestial Kingdom, the so-called Celestial Kingdom, and the real good vassal states of China were basically those countries that were deeply influenced by Confucian culture, such as Korea, Vietnam, Ryukyu, etc., because only Confucianism emphasizes hierarchy and orthodoxy.

It is originally a matter of tribute to the emperor, so it is not a shame to surrender to China, and the etiquette is a matter of course.

This was the feudal era, not the modern era. Without trains and planes, the fastest tools were ships and horses. From north to south, it was difficult to involve a year's work.

Such a huge place in China, such as Lingnan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Hunan, etc., is still not yet developed. Other remote places, even if they are occupied, will not last long. It is better to defeat the enemy without fighting and become a vassal state, and occasionally pay some tribute to satisfy the vanity of existence and the benefits of it.

Therefore, Li Jia had a requirement for Japan: to become a vassal state of China, pay tribute every year, and provide military resources.

Now, the most important thing to deal with is Hunan.

When the King of Chu went south, how to deal with the huge land he left behind was the most important issue in the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, there is an objective problem. Guangzhou is too far from Hunan and is beyond reach. If ministers are sent, it will inevitably cause local expansion and endanger the central government.

"Weichen believes that the most important thing to deal with is Yang Shifan and other generals. They are all elite soldiers of Chu. If they are not handled carefully, it will lead to a disaster. A chaotic and miserable Chu State is a heavy burden for Lingnan!"

Sun Zhao's status has risen quickly due to the support of the emperor, and his prestige has become the second prime minister at once, posing a slight threat to Prime Minister Cui Quan.

"What your family said is very important, the important thing is that Yang Shifan. If he is brought to the Tang Dynasty, the land of Chu will be safe!"

Li Jia frowned, and then he remembered that there was another unstable factor in Chu.

"Yang Shifan was originally the defensive envoy of Yuezhou, and his troops were only 3,000. Your Majesty can make him the governor of Jingjiang Army. He was surrounded by our army. Even if he had thousands of abilities, he could not escape!" Cui Quan smiled and said disrespectfully.

Obviously, even though Yang Shifan had already shown his performance in quelling Zhang Wenbiao's rebellion, he was still not included in Cui Quan's eyes, and he was still just a general.

"No!" Sun Zhao immediately rejected it and said quickly: "Guizhou is poor, not as poor as Changsha Prefecture, and even worse than Yuezhou. Yang Shifan is a person who values ​​friendship and friendship. If he learns that we are actually improving and secretly excluding the situation, he may feel complaining!"

"Because the Tang Dynasty is moving forward, it takes such a good general to unify the world to regain more land for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jia was actually quite moved to recover a historical figure, especially the generals of the generals of the Five Dynasties, but the generals of the Five Dynasties had different thoughts and had strong control over their soldiers. If one was not good, it would cause a rebellion and would not be worth the loss.

"I wonder what good ideas Sun Qing has?" Li Jia asked lightly without revealing her mind.

"When you go back to your Majesty, Yuezhou is a place bordering the Central Plains and Chu, and it must be stationed with reliable generals. Although Nanping is small, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers. Although he is cautious, he has to be guarded. Although Langzhou is remote, Zhou Xingfeng's governance is appropriate. Letting Yang Shifan go is not considered a derogatory!"

"You mean, use Yang Shifan as the governor of Wuping Army?" Li Jia was a little surprised for a moment, and his face suddenly became cold.

This favor is too great. The Tang State inherited the rule of the Southern Han Dynasty, and there was no military governor in the country. The so-called vassal state only had an empty shell. If Yang Shifu was appointed as the vassal state, it would be considered the first vassal state.

The prime ministers were also in an uproar. In the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties, the vassal states were the center of chaos, and the reset of the vassal states was a cover-up of evil intentions and instantly became noisy.

"Yes, right!" Sun Zhao said in a deep voice. He didn't care about the slander, but he had to care about the emperor's thoughts, and quickly spoke out:

"Yang Shifu was stationed in Langzhou, and he only had the power to lead troops, but no power to govern the people. In this way, he could favor others, capture the morale of the Chu State, and place his troops to guard against Nanping. If necessary, he could also send his troops north and take Nanping in one fell swoop."

This was a big move. Li Jia thought for a moment and was still hesitant.

In view of the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties, he has always implemented the strengthening of the central government and weakening the local government. When the screenshot is reset, the local government is suspected of becoming a big shot, which is inconsistent with his national policy.

However, this is indeed a good move, killing three birds with one stone, which is really beneficial to the overall situation.

"Since you are a military governor, you must be worthy of your name. How can you get the etiquette of castration? Otherwise, you won't get the necessary effect. If you buy a horse for a thousand gold coins, I want to see if Yang Shifan can bring me surprises!"

"I wrote an imperial edict from the Hanlin Academy, and let Yang Shifan settle down in Langzhou and become the governor of Wuping Army. His guards were incorporated into the Chu recruitment army and arranged scattered arrangements!"

"The land of Chu has been restored. For the original officials, the government affairs hall may be demoted, promoted, or moved, some officials must be arranged to go north to inspect the local area and collect money and grain!"

"The former King Zhou Baoquan of Chu made contributions to the land, followed the decree of heaven, and appointed him as the King of Changsha with a fief of 3,000 households. He enjoyed the rituals of the prince, and rewarded a mansion with a thousand acres of fertile land and a hundred guards. After he entered Guangzhou, the prime ministers would like to greet him!"

Li Jia waved his hand and no longer followed the prime ministers' words. He said directly, "The officials could only bow their heads and dared not have any objections."

The imperial edict here was quickly passed, and it was expedited by 600 miles. In less than three days, Yang Shifan received the order of leaving Langzhou and being appointed as the governor of the Wuping Army.

"This Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really generous!" Yang Shifan felt the imperial edict, a little unbelievable. He was only in his thirties and became a prince, which was really too surprised.
