Xinshun 1730

Chapter 244 The Book of Fire
Shi Shiyong, who will recover from weakness, the first thing after getting off the boat is neither to inquire about the boat to Weihai, nor to find a way back to the capital, but to go straight to the restaurant with his wife and children smiling.

After sitting down, he threw out a grain of silver and said, "Just eat the meat, but no fish. Birds come out of your mouth! Hurry up!"

Afraid that the waiter in this shop is not in a hurry, he threw another silver bean over.

The waiter in the shop took the money, and at a glance, he knew that it was Japanese money, which is common in Songjiang.

I thought to myself that he was probably another sailor from a trading company who had returned from Japan, and no matter where his money was, it was all money.

Not long after, all kinds of meat and vegetables were brought up. Shi Shiyong ordered another big jug of wine, and said with a smile, "It's really a bird coming out of his mouth. Not to mention beef, he has never even eaten mutton."

His wife just giggled, poured him a bowl of wine, and ate rice in silence without saying anything.

After drinking two bowls of wine, Shi Shiyong knew that this was already "his own territory". He had lived cautiously in Edo for several years and ate vegetarian food for several years.

While eating, his ears were stuck. The people next to him spoke mostly Wu dialect, and he couldn't understand what they were saying, so he felt bored.

In Beijing Mandarin, there are too many old Shaanxi people, and there are also many people from Henan, so that it smells like loess after some chowder.

This Wu dialect is quite different. Later generations of "Shanghai Hua Lie Zhuan" were written in Wu dialect. If someone hadn't "translated" it into Mandarin, it would have been difficult to spread.

After listening for a while, just when I felt bored, I heard a few more people coming, speaking in official Chinese.

"Ying Sobo is going back to Weihai soon. Once I go this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back again. The business of the trading company, Ying Sobo has been handed over to the elected committee. He is doing big things, saying It doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t matter.”

"It seems that I heard that there will be additional shares next year, so I should invest in a few more shares at that time. If I don't leave this year, I will be in Songjiang, and I will always keep an eye on it."

"I heard that a stock exchange will be opened in a few days. In the future, the stocks of trading companies and glass workshops can be traded there. It is very safe to be under the supervision of Ying Sabo. Just spend more stamp duty money, You have to trade there to feel at ease."

The words of these people are very simple.

If you take it apart, Shi Shiyong thinks you should know every word.But together, it is difficult to understand.

However, he still heard the word "Weihai" very carefully, and when he thought of the names of those weird trading companies, he wondered, could it be that the Eagle Sobo they said was Lord Liu?He was knighted at a young age?

Eagle whirling?Where is this?

Could it be that the Western Regions have been settled, and Mr. Liu has been conferred a knighthood for his meritorious service?

In the past few years in Edo, the news of the country has been completely cut off, and he really knows what it means to close the country.Not to mention domestic news, even news from Nagasaki, he doesn't know.

At this time, his eyes were darkened, and he walked to the table, sang a song, and asked, "I'm disturbing you all. This Ying Suo Bo, is Mr. Liu Yu, the son of Duke Yi?"

The people at the table laughed and said: "Apart from him, who else is Yingsaobo? You are also here to buy shares? It's a pity that you came late. Yingsuobo will return to Weihai tomorrow, and the matter of investing in shares has been dismissed."

Shi Shiyong almost habitually showed a look of disappointment on his face, and subconsciously sighed, and returned to his seat.

Asking this makes me feel good.

It's not like meeting an acquaintance, but thinking that if Liu Yu is ennobled, then the Western Regions must have been pacified, otherwise how could there be such a great achievement?

His Majesty must be delighted that the Western Regions were pacified, and the country was finally comparable to Li Tang. He was really happy, poured another big bowl of wine, and let out a cry of joy.

This is a happy cry for the Western Regions, pouring and drinking to congratulate yourself.

After eating and drinking, I found an inn to stay, after a little inquiry, I disguised myself, put on a bamboo hat, took the half token, and went to the trading company.

Not long after the half of the token was delivered, someone came out from inside and led him in and around a few times into a room.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Liu Yu was waiting inside, and he took the initiative to greet him and said, "Brother Pingcheng! But you have suffered!"

The sound of suffering naturally drew Shi Shiyong closer. Seeing that Liu Yu was still the same as before, Shi Shiyong smiled and said, "Suffering is extremely bitter, and I can't eat meat. How can I be so nourished like an adult? I Just now at the wine shop, I heard that your lord has been conferred a knighthood? But because of the Western Regions incident?"

Liu Yu nodded, Shi Shi slapped his thigh and said, "What a pity! What a pity! Otherwise, I'd like to go to the Western Regions to see the skills of Xilu, and let him know that there are also good archers in the Central Plains."

"Brother Pingcheng, it's true that Xilu is good at archery. But times have changed, and people use muskets instead of bows and arrows. Brother Pingcheng also made great achievements in Japan. Could it be that the kings of the world, the Western Regions and the Eastern Ocean, and What's the difference?"

Shi Shiyong comforted Shi Shiyong's restless and regretful heart, and Shi Shiyong also found it quite helpful. After sitting down, he talked to Liu Yu about the situation in Japan in the past few years.

He held his breath there, but he could only bear it. At this time, he finally met a person who could speak freely, so he naturally spoke out about the things that he felt quite uncomfortable after seeing.

He didn't know much about Confucianism, he didn't know the direction of Confucianism in Japan, and he didn't understand some scum advocating that Japan is orthodox, but he naturally thought of the book "Guo Xing Ye He Zhan".

Lower Riba people.

Just talking about this play, Liu Yu almost jumped up excitedly. Fortunately, he has become calm in the past few years. Xindao sent you there to make you stand up in front of the emperor. With this book, the fire Didn't it just arch up?

This is really great!

"Ying Suobo, this Japanese wolf's ambition will not change. The sentence that the snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's profit is even more obvious. There are some words that insult me ​​Han Erlang. If it is not for a big event, I will kill him in Edo There are a few."

"I don't read much, and we don't understand those hidden things. But this play made me angry. From this, we can also know that the Japanese ambitions have not changed, and they will be our enemies in the future. Once The Central Plains has changed, and I am afraid that its heart of "snipe and clam fighting" will be ready to move again."

"The day His Majesty sent me to the Wa country, I still wondered why. I really don't know if I don't go, I'm shocked when I go."

Liu Yu pretended not to know, and a displeasure appeared on his face.

Shi Shiyong handed over the book, glanced at it, and Liu Yu didn't recognize much, so he said, "Then I have to trouble Brother Pingcheng to translate this book into Chinese. Don't shy away from it, just write it truthfully. Your Majesty, after all, If you don't know the Japanese Japanese language, it may be difficult to understand if you offer it."

Shi Shiyong's cultural level is not very high. Although he knows that although he can understand it, it is not easy to write it out.

Seeing his expression, Liu Yu knew what was on his mind, and said with a smile: "This matter is easy, Mr. Kang can help you, he is one of his own, and you can trust it. It just so happens that I will go back to Weihai tomorrow, and there will be many people, and I will wrong Brother Pingcheng gone."

"Don't worry, my lord, as long as you return to your homeland, where is there any grievance? There is one more thing..."

Shi Shiyong's face gradually became a little melancholy, Liu Yu couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and asked, "Brother Pingcheng, but say it."

"My lord... Is this method of riding and shooting really useless? In the eyes of adults, the skills I have studied hard for more than ten years are really so worthless? I am afraid that your majesty and lords will know the wolf ambition of the Japanese country. But even so, I was still allowed to teach the Japanese riding and archery skills, this... hey!"

Although he didn't want Shi Shiyong to be too depressed, Liu Yu still told the truth.

"Brother Ping Cheng, His Majesty has decided to reform the military. From now on, unless the Mongolian cavalry is conscripted, they don't need to ride and shoot. All bows and arrows in the army will be abolished; regular cavalry will use long spears, swords, and flintlocks." Short guns, riding and shooting, will also be removed from the Wude Palace assessment."

"Riding and archery is really outdated. Even the Zhunbu doesn't use it very much. In the first battle of Pingzhun, I fought with the Zhunbu. Most of the casualties of my subordinates came from the Turkish muskets of the Zhunbu. Died by the cavalry shooters... unexpectedly There are less than ten people. However, it takes only three months for ordinary people to learn how to shoot a gun, and if Brother Pingcheng has the ability to learn how to shoot a gun, it will not be difficult."

"Besides, Brother Pingcheng's meritorious service, His Majesty must reward you. In the future, there will be few things to do. Even if you want to attack the Japanese, you have to rely on muskets and cannons."

"Brother Pingcheng must have known about this matter. If riding and archery is not out of date yet, but I send my brother to Japan to teach riding and archery, what is the difference between me and Qin Hui and Wu thief?"

Shi Shiyong sighed. In fact, he already knew it in his heart, but he just wanted to hear these words from Liu Yu's mouth so that he lost his last hope.

I have worked hard to learn the skills for more than ten years, I don't know how many times I have had pain in my thumb, and how many times I have twirled the feather arrows to develop the skills, but now it is useless.

Nearly forty years old, even if you want to learn new skills, how can you compare with those who practiced since childhood?Could it be that from now on, my life is to retire in the capital?
Standing up and saying goodbye dejectedly, he murmured, "The times have changed? Hey!"

Arching his hands, he left first, leaving only the "Guo Xing Ye He Zhan" behind.

After Shi Shiyong left, a wonderful smile appeared on Liu Yu's face.

After flipping through a few pages of this book, Xindaokang has the ability to make fire, as well as the diction. After translating this book, the emperor will definitely be furious after reading it.

Adding a fire, now that Japan has woken up and cut off the trade, it is not afraid.

I'm afraid that would be better. Trading companies need to contribute money and effort to support shipbuilding.

In the future, this book can also be used as a reason to persuade the DPRK and China to go to war. The ministers in the DPRK are not fools. Although this is just a small drama, the ambition expressed in it is enough to arouse the anger of the courtiers, at least on the surface. appearance.

Then ask people to go to Ryukyu to make the fact that Ryukyu paid tribute from both sides, and then throw this translated opera script in the market, causing public opinion in the world to be in an uproar.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also sink a boat. Back then, scholars were allowed to form associations, and people were encouraged to discuss politics, as well as the magnificent Han and Tang style that has been advocating legality over the years. This booklet will definitely ignite anger.

But this matter cannot be done by oneself, it is better to leave it to the emperor first, let the emperor himself use it as a card in his hand, and feel the feeling of manipulating the world's public opinion, instead of manipulating public opinion by himself.

Orthodoxy, Ryukyu, ambition...and most importantly, the temptation of money, is just in line with hypocritical righteousness.

Going to war is a name for righteousness, but it is actually a big gain.
