Just like the bookstore owner Yuan Bowen in Zhang Mingtu's memory, he used his wealth to purchase related bookstores, and then used the bookstores as tentacles to gather intelligence.
In terms of money, they are all quite rich.
After all, in Zhang Mingtu's memory, that country had been unified at this time, and all existences were ruled by the existence of the Land of the Rising Sun, who should be called the Daimyo.
That region has been eyeing Daxia covetously and has always wanted to take over the Central Plains.
The troops he sent out had a huge amount of money and martial arts in their hands.
Moreover, Japanese pirates were becoming an increasing problem along the southeastern coast, although there was no clear evidence pointing to their connection with the Land of the Rising Sun.
But Zhang Mingtu knew that the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast were inevitably connected to them.
When the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast plundered enough porcelain, tea bricks, and a lot of wealth, they would ship them overseas. Part of the money from the sales was used to arm themselves, and part was used to support the spies of the Land of the Rising Sun.
At the same time, those people who have gained high positions by using their beauty will also provide great support to the spies of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun if they take a fancy to them. Therefore, the areas where they store their finances have wealth beyond people's imagination.
As far as Zhang Mingtu knew, the owner of the bookstore, Yuan Bowen, was a man of many talents and wealth, who was approachable to others.
Rebellion is a capital crime and cannot be accomplished without immense wealth, so this group of people are much richer than Zhang Mingtu imagined.
Zhang Mingtu was not very clear about this at first, but later on, after becoming a Buddhist disciple of Donglin Temple and claiming to be the reincarnation of the Buddha, he received the utmost support from Donglin Temple, with countless people offering him benefits every day.
I heard that Zhang Mingtu was interested in the Land of the Rising Sun, and information about the Land of the Rising Sun was sent to him in an endless stream.
What the superior likes, the subordinates must follow.
It was also thanks to the continuous investigation of the people below that Zhang Mingtu discovered this clue hidden in the dark, which gave Zhang Mingtu a certain understanding of the wealth of the Land of the Rising Sun.
The land of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun is not very rich and is quite poor compared to Daxia, but that is only compared to Daxia.
In the hands of a single individual, such a kingdom would possess terrifying amounts of wealth.
And now all the wealth of the Land of the Rising Sun is in the hands of that daimyo.
And that daimyo continuously invested the corresponding wealth into the hands of the spies of the Land of the Rising Sun, allowing them to obtain enough intelligence in Daxia.
Then let them cooperate with the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, constantly starting from the weak points of the southeast coast, plundering local wealth, and running away in one blow, never competing with the local regular army.
Over the years, large areas of the southeastern coast have been devastated.
But they also formed a positive cycle.
Daxia became the giant beast that was constantly bleeding, constantly filling the gaps in the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
The most critical ones among them are not the people Zhang Mingtu always encounters who are responsible for raising monsters and fighting, but another group of people.
They are socialites or people in Yihongyuan. They belong to another area and cannot be called spies alone.
The two people Zhang Mingtu killed in the underground river of Jianyi belonged to this group.
The Land of the Rising Sun has been communicating with Daxia all year round. The exchanges of upper-class culture are of course in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, exploring the widely spread Confucian culture. There are also those who like to seek immortals and ask for advice by praying to gods and Buddhas.
Among them, several generations of chess masters from the Land of the Rising Sun have even been admired by many people and are considered to have extremely outstanding chess skills.
He was treated as a distinguished guest in many areas of Daxia.
These were all discussed among the upper class, and although they caused a great sensation among the upper class culture, they were not known to the rest of the world.
The most widely circulated stories about people having connections with the lower classes are actually about prostitutes.
Yes, the Land of the Rising Sun sends a large number of women to the brothels of Daxia every year to sell their bodies for money. At the same time, if one of them becomes pregnant, they will be very surprised and will be organized and sent back by boat.
When scholars heard about such strange and interesting stories, they often treated them as jokes.
People from the Land of the Rising Sun also have related remarks, many of which say that they admire Daxia culture and believe that Daxia bloodline is noble.
After all, the people of Da Xia are tall and imposing, and they would be very excited to have a child with a person of Da Xia.
However, many of the four literati were not very fond of people from the Land of the Rising Sun. After all, those people usually looked ugly, short, with grinning faces, or long legs and dark faces.
Well, sometimes it can even be all of these.
The scholars did not like these women very much, but since these women were able to make it, they naturally had their merits.
They are gentle and considerate, often speaking in a soft voice. With their unique gentleness and that special admiring gaze, they have made a name for themselves in the southeastern coastal areas, and some people particularly like them.
Among many scholars, this was a joke, but to Zhang Mingtu, it was a bit terrifying.
Yes, this story is quite thrilling.
The vast majority of people in Daxia have never been to the Land of the Rising Sun, and many are not familiar with the customs and culture of the Land of the Rising Sun.
At least at the official level, there has never been a large-scale organization of people to go to the Land of the Rising Sun. The only relatively glorious person in the early years was Jianzhen.
Jianzhen made six attempts to cross the sea before he succeeded, and that was with the great help of Buddhism. One can imagine what the result would be for an ordinary person crossing the sea.
Perhaps Zhang Mingtu knows the most about the situation in the Land of the Rising Sun.
