Chapter 621: Enlightenment of Japan(2/2)

In Zhu Ying's heart, especially in this era, population is the most precious wealth.

Almost no Han people are willing to leave their hometowns to mine mineral deposits. You must know that the probability of mine collapse is very high now, and it is extremely normal for several people to die.

But there must always be someone to do these jobs, and the Japanese are the most suitable people to do it.

Only a stable Japanese country can create more wealth for the Ming Dynasty. If you want to thoroughly educate the Japanese country, it will not be accomplished overnight. It can only be done through generations of education like Mu Ying did.

Zhu Ying is still young and can carry at least three generations.

Three generations later, can this Japanese country not belong to the Ming Dynasty?

There are some things that you cannot rush. If you are too anxious, it will have the opposite effect.

Hearing this, Zhu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what it is, as long as he continues to be a feudal lord in Japan, everything else doesn't matter.

Since Taisun said not to fight, then he won’t fight.

At this time, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Shu also roughly understood what Zhu Ying meant. These words were one factor. In fact, they still wanted to control the battle between several feudal kings within the confines of Kyushu Island.

Today's Ming Dynasty has made great strides and is almost constantly civilizing the surrounding small countries. It needs a huge number of talents.

The news of Zhu Ying's arrival in the Japanese kingdom naturally reached the Japanese royal family and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu at the fastest speed.

The great grandson of the Ming Dynasty personally came to Japan to negotiate, which was enough to give him face.

Emperor Komatsu must come to the Daming Palace in person at Daming Port.

It is true that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was the shogun and held real power, but the nominal ruler was Emperor Gokomatsu of the Japanese royal family.

Compared with the Japanese royal family, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was considered a powerful general in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, but he was still a little worse than the later Emperor Komatsu.

Before Emperor Gokomatsu departed, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu prepared a banquet in honor of Emperor Gokomatsu.

"The grandson of the Ming Dynasty said that he would give the high-yielding crop seeds of the Ming Dynasty to our Japanese country. He must have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to divide the entire Kyushu Island into the territories of the various vassals of the Ming Dynasty."

"We, the Japanese country, now have no ability to compete with the Ming Dynasty. We can only quietly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to come."

"So when necessary, we should ask His Excellency the Emperor to put the overall situation first."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu knelt on the ground and saluted Emperor Gokomatsu respectfully.

How could Emperor Gokomatsu not understand the meaning behind these words?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the cession of the entire Kyushu Island by Japan has become a fact, and there is currently no ability to take it back. It is simply a fool's errand to ask the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to return it.

Being able to return Iyo Castle on Shikoku Island is already the biggest concession, and it also sends seeds of high-yielding crops.

It’s just that someone must be responsible for the act of ceding territory.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu naturally did not want to bear the responsibility himself, and wanted to throw the blame on Emperor Gokomatsu.

Facing the powerful shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Emperor Gokomatsu had no possibility of refusing.

He could only say after having a drink: "General, please don't worry."

Hearing these words, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suddenly smiled on his face.

As long as the Japanese royal family is responsible for this matter, it will not hinder his future real power rule, and he can also take this opportunity to weaken the power of the Japanese royal family.
