My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 262 Striving to be Daming's Big Brother
"Huang Shangshu, this is a gift from our Jianzhou Jurchens to His Majesty... including 1 taels of gold, five buckets of Dongzhu, twenty dans of ginseng, ten haidongqings, and twenty tiger skins." Aha Rubbing his hands together, introducing the tribute to Huang Guan, his whole body was pained.

It is really not easy to collect so many good things.

And the Ming Dynasty also said that there is no need to pay too much tribute, even if you pay tribute, there will not be so many rewards.So let's trade honestly, Daming doesn't want to suffer.

But this time, the Jianzhou Jurchen was willing to give it to her.

"Huang Shangshu, do you think you can give our Jianzhou Guard a higher score?"

Huang Guan, who was stroking the tiger's skin, quickly withdrew his hand and said in a low voice: "This matter is under the jurisdiction of Pingzhang Academy, not within the purview of the Ministry of Rites. And that is only a society under the jurisdiction of Pingzhang Academy, you don't have to take it too seriously. "

Aha was in a hurry, "I can't be serious! We heard that we are going to sell weapons and crossbows to North Korea. If we don't have one, we will suffer a lot."

Huang Guan was stunned for a moment, he did plan to sell weapons to North Korea, but that was just to deal with the Wa Kingdom, and had nothing to do with the Jurchen tribes.

"You're still worrying too much."

Aha gritted his teeth, and said simply: "Huang Shangshu, we are all vulgar people, and we don't understand those things. Anyway, North Korea has weapons and armor, and we want them too. I also inquired about the Pingzhangyuan thing you said, It was done by your son-in-law. Just show your kindness and help to say something. How can your own son-in-law not listen to you? Unless Huang Shangshu looks down on us."

Aha snorted and said, "I've heard that you are the most knowledgeable person in the Ming Dynasty, you don't want money too, do you? In the end, we have our own filial piety, and we can't miss you."

Huang Guan couldn't stand this veteran's straightforwardness.

He also had to sigh that the cheap son-in-law's move was really effective.

"I really can't control this matter, but how about this, I'll introduce you and talk directly to Duke Ding."

Then Huang Guan hurriedly sent the person to Xu Jingchang's side.

At this time, Xu Jingchang was taking care of his wife and had already declined quite a few government affairs.

But when he heard that Aha, the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, had come out, he received him very politely and served him hot tea.

"Mr. Cao Guo wrote me a letter and told me about your Jianzhou Jurchens. I am also quite moved. We can form an ally and become a family to benefit the people. The merits are immeasurable!"

Aha looked sullenly, looked at Xu Jingchang seriously, and then said, "Mr. Dingguo, we are vulgar people, and we don't have so many extravagant thoughts, so just say it directly, you said we are a family, but how can you sell North Korea?" Weapons, don’t sell us Jurchen? Also, I heard that you don’t rate our culture... what civilization is not high, what do you mean? Are you looking down on us?”

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Aha's mission is actually very understandable. You Jurchens and Han people are old acquaintances, but there are some differences between us. From the perspective of civilization, you are still in the fishing and hunting stage. .From the perspective of relatives, it is difficult to go further. Frankly speaking, my evaluation of you has been as high as possible."

Aha snorted and said, "No matter what, we can't be inferior to North Korea. Anyway, we just don't believe it."

Xu Jingchang smiled unabated, "Aha is a commander, and there are rules for everything. If you are so tough, not only will it not be beneficial, but it will also affect your evaluation. If you really want to improve your evaluation, it is not impossible."

Aha was startled, and suddenly smiled, "I knew it was the case...Duke Ding, tell me, how much does it cost, I am willing to spend it!"

Xu Jingchang laughed, "Just say this to the commander, and your civilized level will increase... Unfortunately, this matter is not so simple. If you give money, the score will be high, and if you don't give money, the score will be low. What kind of authority is there?" ? In fact, what you should think about is how to improve the score."

"This can still be improved?" Aha was taken aback, "What should I do?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "This is very easy... Look, the criteria I gave are one is kinship and the other is civilization... The so-called kinship refers to close blood, similar customs, and the same customs. The contents of customs are , and is connected with civilization. In fact, these two standards are plain, that is, the closer you are to Daming, the closer the relationship, and the smaller the difference, the higher the score."

"How should I say it!" Xu Jingchang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "For example, the two of us, my name is Xu Jingchang, and your name is Ahachu. Isn't your last name Ah? If you can change your name to something similar to Daming, please let me know. The child has brought the relationship closer, don't you think?"

Aha stared at Xu Jingchang stupidly, what kind of idea is this, should I change my name?
"I don't know how to change it! It's been used for decades, and I don't want to change it."

Xu Jingchang chuckled, "I didn't mean to force you. In fact, Daming is very happy that you can come here this time. The imperial court will definitely reward you generously. This also includes rewarding surnames. For example, His Majesty may bestow the surname Zhu. If this is the case, the one who gets the reward will be the honorable Guoxing Lord. Being able to get the Guoxing will naturally prove that he is close to Daming, and even if the points are not enough, he can take special care of him and increase his trade level."

Xu Jingchang said calmly, surrendering the barbarians and bestowing national surnames is nothing unusual... For example, the Han Dynasty once gave the Huns the surname Liu.

Moreover, the Huns also destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, established the Han and Zhao, and pursued the empress Liu Chan... They are simply filial sons of the great man, and their filial piety has moved the heavens.

In the Tang Dynasty, this hand was often played, such as Li Keyong from Shatuo, who was given a surname.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty in history also had a national surname.

What Xu Jingchang wants is to go a step further, preferably like Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, to sinicize the whole family, change them to Chinese surnames, speak Chinese, and write Chinese characters, which is perfect.

Of course, you have to eat one bite at a time, and things have to be done step by step.

"Aha's command and envoy, in addition to changing the Han surname, wearing Han clothes, speaking Chinese, and writing Chinese characters...you can also set up schools and develop trade. Refer to the Ming system, determine officials, use the Ming law, and regulate the people. As long as you can get If you show enough sincerity and make corresponding changes, you can get a high score from me. Speaking of which, this kind of thing is good for us. There are more exchanges between the two sides, frequent exchanges, and prosperous trade. This is a rich country. You can think about things about the people slowly, and I don't mean to force you."

Xu Jingchang chatted with Aha for a few more words, and then sent him away.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Jingchang was very polite.

After hearing this explanation, Aha felt a little awkward in his heart.

Asking him to change his name, learn the habits of Ming Dynasty, and govern the tribe in the way of Ming Dynasty... Even if you are right, it is for our own good, but how can it be a trivial matter to change customs?

I still have to think about it, and even discuss it with the big guys.

Aha went back to his residence, and when he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a sound of quarreling from the next door. Gradually, they even scolded each other, and in the end, there was even the sound of weapons clashing.

What happened?
He came out in a hurry, at this time several subordinates were digging up the wall, watching the excitement!

Aha came over in a hurry, "What's going on?"

"Look, it's the Koreans, and they're fighting with the Wa people. It's really interesting, those Japanese people are so short, they don't even reach the waist!"

These tall and burly Liaodong men are indeed qualified to look down on the Japanese.

After all, they are not as tall as Jurchen dolls.

But don't look short, but the combat power is not weak, especially when facing the North Koreans, they are extremely fierce.

They waved their weapons, chasing and beating the envoy from North Korea.

The North Korean envoy was furious.

Just because you dare to fight us and don't look at it, how good are you?
A group of disobedient and unfilial things dare to bully the young master!
It's the other way around!

In terms of close relationship, even if we are not the direct sons of Daming, we are still the sons of the concubine, and we are the eldest son of the concubine, very honorable.

When it comes to civilization, we are also an out-and-out Little China.

You island country barbarians dare to act wild in front of us.

"Hit, hit hard!"

Helpless, although they yelled fiercely, they really couldn't beat them. They were chased by their buttocks, beat them hard, and they were in a mess.

Fortunately, Daming's guards were alarmed at this time, and many rushed in at once, finally separating them.

When these North Korean envoys saw Daming's guards, they wept bitterly as if they had seen their relatives.

"Shangguo must let us be the masters! We were bullied by Dao Yi. We are the loyal ministers and dutiful sons of Daming, and Daming can't just sit idly by!"

The envoys fought each other, and there was such a commotion that Huang Guan was alarmed again.

He knew it as soon as he heard it, and he is his good son-in-law again. You are so kind.

With just such a score, the world will be in chaos and there will be no peace.

"What's the matter with you? When you come to Daming, you still don't obey the rules. Could it be that you don't have a kingdom in your eyes?" Huang Guan could only scold.

But the North Korean envoy was in tears and fell to his knees.

"Shangguo wants to make the decision for us! Waguo bullies us, this is a barbarian offending Xia, a great treason!"

That's right, Little China is also China!

Huang Guan finally understood. It turned out that they were proud of having a higher score, so they made provocative words, which caused the Japanese country to fight back.

Huang Guan took a deep breath, "Regardless of your score, you are all guests of Ming Dynasty. In the territory of Ming Dynasty, you are absolutely not allowed to mess around. If you dare to fight without authorization, you will be responsible for the consequences. And... what are you doing? If you want to take revenge If you want to avenge your hatred, you will raise your troops and go out to fight. If you lack weapons, you can naturally go to Daming to buy them. Isn’t it all on the trade list!”

After saying this, Huang Guan stomped his feet, turned around and left.

At night, Huang Guan came to Xu Jingchang angrily, and when they met, he stretched out his palm, five fingers, and kept shaking Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang was very frightened at this moment.

What is the old father-in-law doing here?
Want to smoke yourself?

"You, it's really good! You sold 50 taels of weapons in one day!" Huang Guan sighed again, "The reputation of half my life is also sold together, so sad!"
