Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 234 Your Majesty’s negotiation was very good, but don’t negotiate next time…

"It turns out to be the censor!"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Come here, cut out his tongue."

Ruan Min's eyes widened. The Ming Emperor was a complete tyrant. The Ming court passed down the rules of courtesy. How could he tolerate such a tyrant ruling the world?

But two eunuchs held him down, and one eunuch took out a knife, opened his mouth, and stuffed the knife inside.

Just cut it here?
Is this the Ming Dynasty?Or barbaric Mongolia?
Li Xian was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please calm down your majesty, please calm down your majesty and spare the foreign ministers!"

The tip of the knife scratched the soft flesh, and Ruan Min screamed, trembling and leaking urine.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and pointed to a puddle on the ground: "Why did you pee?"

Ruan Min looked horrified and reached out to touch his tongue, which was still there.

He quickly kowtowed and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty is so mighty that all the world is full of. Foreign ministers are like weeds on the roadside. They are frightened by your Majesty's might. Please forgive me!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "It turns out that you can also speak human language!"

Ruan Min understood at this moment, from the strange looks in Qi Zheng and Jiang Shouyue's eyes, it turned out that this Hall of Cultivation of the Heart was actually a Shura field.

No wonder it is said that foreign envoys who came to Ming Dynasty were treated the best.

They were also seeking death because they had to see the emperor, so they suffered as a result, right?
"I heard that King Annan didn't use my reign name, but gave his own reign name, and everyone in Annan Kingdom used his reign name. What's the reason for this?"

Zhu Qiyu's tone was very arrogant and his momentum was unyielding.

The Ming Dynasty was unable to conquer the south for three years.

It will take a lot of time to digest the dismemberment of the Tatars. Guangdong and Guangxi are still being plowed, and Yunnan and Guizhou have not yet been plowed, so they cannot spare any effort to attack Annan.

But he speaks boldly.

Just pretend to be strong, this is a very familiar trick.

Just as Li Xian was about to speak, Zhu Qiyu pointed at Ruan Min: "Say it!"

"Hui, your Majesty, your Majesty the Ming Dynasty is kind and allows my king to have his own reign title under the sect-vassal system."

Ruan Min's momentum was frightened away.

It was a serious matter, but it made him tremble.

"According to my decree, from now on, the Ming Dynasty vassals will withdraw their reign names and use my reign names. No two reign names are allowed in the land under the sun! Let alone two emperors!"

Zhu Qiyu was targeting King Annan.

North Korea also uses its own reign title, and even Japan has its own emperor.

After all, what Daming wants is a name.

From a vassal to a vassal, he became the emperor of Zhou.

Ruan Min secretly glanced at Li Xian: "Your Majesty, this matter requires the foreign minister to return to the country and report to the king..."

"It seems that King Annan wants to fight the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Okay, I agree, I can fight you if you want!"

"Your Majesty."

"Annan regards His Majesty as a king and father, and would never dare to be disrespectful in the slightest."

"You are the most loving father in the world, how can you attack your own child?"

Ruan Min was lying on the ground, looking horrified.

It's really difficult to be an envoy.

"My son is disobedient. As a father, am I wrong to educate him?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"That's right!"

Ruan Min was horrified and said: "The foreign minister will convey His Majesty's decree to return to the country and ask King Annan to withdraw his reign title!"

"Why do you invite King Annan!"

"King Annan is just a prince. In my eyes, he is not as precious as a eunuch in the palace."

"Within three months, the era name will be revoked!"

"If the deadline is violated, I will send a million troops to sweep across Annan!"

Zhu Qiyu said in a sharp tone: "Don't forget, Annan was only established with the support of Ming Dynasty!"

"Your ancestor is just a lackey of the Ming Dynasty!"

"It's my plaything!"

"If we force our troops to come to Hanoi, it will not be like withdrawing his title!"

"Instead, dig out the Annan kings from their graves and whip their corpses!"

Zhu Qiyu moved his fingers.

The two eunuchs held Ruan Min down again.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The moment Ruan Min opened his mouth, the blade went in, twisted hard, and a piece of tongue was thrown to the ground.

Blood poured into Ruan Min's mouth.

But in order to prevent him from dying, two eunuchs held him down and did not allow him to move.

The scene was extremely bloody.

Li Xian was frightened and fainted.

Whoa!

A basin of cold water woke up Li Xian.

The Annan mission had never seen such a scene.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty has always been the most polite, but Emperor Jingtai is a tyrant who likes to torture and kill people.

Li Xian crawled on the ground, stunned.

"The million-strong army that swept across Mobei now has nowhere to rest."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and consulted: "I really want to fight again. It would be good to pacify the Anan Kingdom."

"Li Xian, what do you think?"

Ruan Min kept shaking his head.

Emperor Jingtai used his tongue to show the power of Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, Ming Dynasty really wanted to fight, but Annan couldn't.

Today's Annan Kingdom is called the Houli Dynasty in history books. It was a dynasty established after the Ming Dynasty withdrew from Jiaozhi in the third year of Xuande.

The current emperor Li Jun is the third generation emperor.

He is a drunkard and a drunkard, practices tyranny, and kills his relatives. It can be said that he is useless.

Annan was declining.

And the Ming Dynasty was at the peak of its power.

You cannot hit an egg against a stone.

"Please give me your Majesty's advice."

"Annan has always respected the Ming Dynasty and dare not show any disrespect."

"Please, Your Majesty, please don't send your heavenly troops to conquer your loyal people!"

At this moment, Li Xian only felt huge shame.

But compared to the huge Ming Dynasty, what was Annan?

As Prince Annan, he had to bear this insult.

"Subsidiaries?"

Zhu Qiyu hates this word. Annan people don't want to be Mingren at all!
Since you are given a chance, you are inappropriate.

Then never be fooled.

"Just a servant!"

This word is very insulting.

Li Xian kowtowed and said, "Everyone from Annan to the emperor is your Majesty's servant."

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed proudly: "You are sensible, so let King Annan compensate me for [-] ships of grain to appease my anger."

"Ten thousand ships of grain?"

Li Xian was frightened. Annan was barren. Where could he get so much food?

"What? You want me to send troops to attack Annan?" Zhu Qiyu looked playfully.

"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!"

"Annan will never dare to offend the power of Heaven!"

"But Annan will never be able to raise ten thousand ships of food!"

Li Xian kowtowed.

Annan sent a mission because he was worried about being attacked by the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the mission was sent, but it provoked the Heavenly Soldiers. He was Annan's sinner.

"Since ancient times, loyal servants will protect their masters with their own lives."

"The Annan people are my slaves."

"Why can't you be hungry for me?"

Zhu Qiyu was greedy for Annan's food.

Annan people can die as much as they want, and Ming people will be fine if they don't die.

Li Xian was a little stunned: "The people of Annan are also your Majesty's subjects, please show your favor!"

In fact, he doesn't care whether the people at the bottom die or not.

The problem is that King Annan likes to build large-scale civil engineering and palaces. How many palaces can be built with so much food?

King Annan probably wouldn't agree.

"Then eight thousand ships, no more!" Zhu Qiyu also discovered that King Annan seemed to be able to send grain to the Ming Dynasty.

He just said it casually, and with such a deceit, he got something useful out of him.

Ruan Min broke free from the eunuch's restraints.

Crawling over, he whined and spoke, his mouth bleeding as he spoke.

But he didn't care, and his words were slurred.

Li Xian looked at his miserable situation, but still argued for Annan, and couldn't help crying.

"A thousand ships? Sending away beggars!"

Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Let King Annan wash his neck. If I don't pick off his dog's head, I can't relieve his anger!"

He cursed, but felt happy in his heart.

Feng Xiao was shocked. Is Annan so rich?

A thousand ships of grain, just pay tribute?

"Woooooo!"

Ruan Min kept kowtowing, and then gestured while talking, meaning no more.

Why did Zhu Qiyu cut off Ruan Min's tongue?

Because Ruan Min knew diplomacy, he didn't want Ruan Min to speak and fool Annan Prince Li Xian into obedience.

Damn it, you cut out your tongue and you're still not honest?

"Ruan Min, I am talking to Prince Annan, but you keep interrupting. Who do you think you are?"

Zhu Qiyu showed annoyance: "He didn't cut his tongue clean, cut it again!"

The eunuch pushed Ruan Min to the ground again.

Ruan Min's face was full of despair.

Li Xian is also a smart man and understands that the emperor wants benefits, not a real war.

"Please, Lord, have mercy!"

Li Xian kowtowed: "Ruan Min is a favorite of his father. His family is powerful and can influence the situation of the government."

"Even if the foreign minister agrees to your majesty here."

"If the Ruan family interferes, it will be difficult to transport food to the Ming Dynasty!"

This is a smart guy.

See through the emperor's mind.

"Threatening me? Do I lack a few ships of food?"

Zhu Qiyu would not follow his rhythm, and waved his hand: "Cut it, drag it out and feed it to the dogs!"

Li Xiang was about to kowtow and beg for mercy.

Whoa!

A pool of hot blood splashed on the side of his face!

Ruan Min's eyes widened and he fell to the ground in despair. His body was dragged out of the Yangxin Hall by the eunuch.

The originally fresh air in the Yangxin Hall was suddenly filled with the smell of blood.

"Li Xian, go back and tell Ruan Min's family that his father-in-law killed him."

"If you want revenge, come to me!"

Zhu Qiyu's face showed a fierce look: "I want to interfere with it, okay, let me see if I can kill all the people with the surname Ruan in the world?"

Li Xian crawled on the ground in shock.

Some of the timid members of the Annan delegation have already peed themselves.

This is the power of the emperor.

The emperor doesn't go anywhere, but with just one word, he kills people all over the world!
"Eight thousand ships of food, not even one ship less!"

Zhu Qiyu's face was sullen, showing the majesty of the emperor.

Li Xian cried and said: "Please forgive me, Annan really can't get so much food together. Annan can provide up to three thousand ships of food, which is too much to take out!"

hiss!
Even Zhu Qiyu took a breath.

Three thousand ships!

Who says Annan is not rich!Who, stand up and see if I don’t kill your nine tribes!
Which province in the north can produce three thousand ships of grain?

How many provinces in the south can do this?

"Only three thousand ships?"

Zhu Qiyu looked disdainful: "Any province in the Ming Dynasty has more grain than three thousand ships."

Hearing that the emperor was still not satisfied, Li Xian cried and said: "Your Majesty, Annan is barren. If I hand over this food to the superior country, most of the people will starve to death."

Producing so much food, but still poor?

How many wealthy provinces are left in the Ming Dynasty?You can count them in one slap.

"That's all, we won't let the people of Annan starve to death. Just [-] ships will be transported to Lianzhou Prefecture within three months."

Zhu Qiyu looked gracious: "Since Annan is respectful, I will bestow favors on Annan."

"Three markets will be opened in Fenmao, Guangnanguan and Pingxiang."

"Annan can be allowed to trade with the Ming Dynasty."

"Change Guangnan Pass to Zhuque Pass, and set up a Shipping Department here to be responsible for trade with Annan."

Feng Xiao raised his eyebrows and was about to remind the emperor that Guangnan Pass and Fenmaoling were the southern gates of the Ming Dynasty. If trade was liberalized, Annan would be able to enter directly from these two passes.

Li Xian also calmed down.

Not just trade, but opening up the passes.

Guangnanguan is the southern gate of the Ming Dynasty and is of great strategic importance.

But the emperor just let go. This is called showing mercy.

By transporting three thousand ships of food, the Ming Dynasty would be undefended, which would be a good thing.

The fact that the Ming Dynasty did not set up defenses meant that it had no ambition to annex the Li Dynasty, so it could rest easy?

"Foreign minister, thank you for your grace!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me."

Zhu Qiyu stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to the junction of Daming and Annan (Mang Street): "I want to build a city here, called Phoenix City."

"The two countries trade here, and whatever Annan needs, he can buy it here."

"Whatever the Ming Dynasty has, I can give it to Annan."

"You can make a fortune by using a mere three thousand ships of food in exchange for my kindness."

Is it possible to get so many benefits by using three thousand ships of food?
In this era, when trade was launched, it was the Ming Dynasty's benevolence.

Li Xian quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

"Your Majesty, does this city belong to the Ming Dynasty? Or to Annan?" Li Xian asked a very stupid question.

"Isn't the whole world the land of the king? Isn't the land of Annan mine?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

Li Xian kowtowed in fright: "That's not what the foreign minister meant. Annan's method of building a city is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. It's because the foreign minister wants to ask the Ming Dynasty to build the city."

"Since Phoenix City is the name given by me."

"Of course it must be built with care. I will ask Kuai Xiang to design the city himself. I will provide the money and Annan will provide some labor."

"There is no need to worry about pirates. I will destroy them naturally."

Zhu Qiyu's face softened slightly: "Does Kuai Xiang know? This Forbidden City was designed by Kuai Xiang."

"Phoenix City and Yourong!" Li Xian kowtowed.

After a few more explanations, he sent him away.

The Annan mission has just left.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but stand up, with excitement on his face: "Three thousand ships of food! Quick, call all the important officials, and go!"

Hu Hu and others were also stunned: "Where can Annan get so much food? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Annan Kingdom is originally Cochin Province.

How much food can be produced, can Ming still not know?
"Since Li Xian dares to speak, he doesn't dare to lie to me."

Zhu Qiyu also wondered that the Red River Plain had not yet been developed in this era.

Annan is mountainous and there are not many places to grow food. How could there be so much food?

"Your Majesty, Annan can trade with Champa, Chenla, Laos, Siam and other countries."

Yu Qian said solemnly: "Those monarchs of small countries are only focused on enjoying themselves. Naturally they don't think about the people in their country. Many of the people in their country will starve to death if they want to come."

Courtiers believed this was a possibility.

But if three thousand ships of food can really be transported, the food crisis of the Ming Dynasty will be solved.

"This also shows in disguise that Annan is rich."

"The late emperor abandoned Jiaozhi, and I want to take it back again."

Seeing that the ministers wanted to persuade him, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I know that now is not the time to be in a hurry. I can afford to wait."

"Your Majesty, we need a general to escort the grain into Guangxi," Geng Jiuchou said.

"Do you have a choice?"

"Your Majesty, there are three people who are plowing Guangxi this time and making a big impression on Guangxi. Generals Fang Ying, Ou Xin, and Tao Cheng. One of them should be assigned to supervise the grain supply."

Geng Jiuchou was about to say something but stopped: "If Annan goes back on his word, the grain inspector will need to send troops to attack Annan!"

"Absolutely not!"

Bai Gui firmly opposed: "Now is not the time to use troops."

"This year there has been continuous war and food shortages. We should get through the difficulties first."

"Especially because of the power of the Ming Dynasty, Annan should destroy his country in one battle."

"You shouldn't boil a frog in warm water. Annan is not worthy of it."

Bai Gui also has a big heart.

I want to send troops directly to annihilate the Southern Kingdom.

"If Annan sees that my Ming Dynasty is weak, why not bite him back?" Geng Jiuchou said tit for tat.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, indicating not to argue: "It's not that far."

"What kind of war are you fighting? Is King Annan a wise king?"

"He ascended the throne at the age of two and has been in charge for a short period of time. He is fond of wine and seduces, but has no talent."

"And its domestic crisis is rife."

"I just looked through the Annan archives. His father Li Yuanlong originally made Li Yimin king, but because of his mother, he changed the name to Li Jun, the current king of Annan."

"If you change the position of crown prince like this, there will be endless troubles."

"It just so happens that this Li Yimin was named King of Lang Son and is still alive."

"Therefore, King Annan will never dare to fight, and he will not fight."

"I allowed them to open four trading markets and a shipping department. The food they lost will be earned back soon."

"Even if there is friction, it will not lead to a direct war. Just send a general to oversee the food supply."

"A small fight is nothing."

Bai Gui and Geng Jiuchou knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Send a civil servant from the central government, and then order Ou Xin... Tao Cheng, go to Phoenix City, prepare to take over the food, and temporarily store the food in Lianzhou Mansion before dispatching it."

Zhu Qiyu had a candidate in mind.

"I originally wanted to send Wang Yue, but the center cannot do without Wang Yue."

"Just send the military aircraft department to Xia Xun!"

"Xia Xun has been on patrol in Guangxi and is very familiar with Guangxi. He is also good at strategy. His letter to me contains extraordinary insights."

"We should also test him in the school to see if he is a capable person."

Xia Xun was a Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai.

It's a usable talent.

"Xia Xun is available." Hu Bi nodded slightly.

The matter is settled.

Zhu Qiyu stood up, walked to the map, pointed to the southernmost corner, and said with a smile: "I set this as Phoenix City. Do you know the reason?"

The map is crude and difficult for everyone to understand.

Yue Zheng whispered: "Has this city crossed the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

"Yes, this city is located on the opposite side of the mountain, in Annan."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Once the Ming Dynasty and Annan go to war, they can transport troops here without having to cross the mountains. They can send troops from Zhuque Pass and just take the waterway and land here."

Of course, this is also the emperor's wishful thinking.

It is impossible for Annan not to have talented people, who must be able to see the importance of the strategic location of this place.

I will try my best to prevent the Ming army from landing here.

After all, Jiaozhi originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty. With the strength of the emperor, he would definitely find ways to get Jiaozhi back. "Your Majesty has good intentions, I admire you!"

Hu Bin kowtowed and said: "This time, your Majesty is working for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty. He does not hesitate to condescend and negotiate in person. He does not mind the pain of traveling to earn benefits for the Ming Dynasty and for the country and the people."

"But please, Your Majesty, I won't do it next time."

Translated, it means you have a good conversation, but don’t do it next time.

Zhu Qiyu smiled stiffly: "Three thousand ships of food, even if I lose some face, what does it matter?"

Seeing the emperor's defeat, the courtiers couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Majesty is just like the sage king of ancient times, with the utmost affection and nature, and is selfless."

"But His Majesty threatened Annan with war."

"Everyone knows that war is a double-edged sword. Once Li Xian is weak, he will not be strong."

"How will your majesty end it if you start a war without permission?"

Hu Xi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, please select someone from all over the world who is an eloquent person to serve as the chief officer of Honglu Temple. There is no need to be condescending."

These words made Zhu Qiyu feel cold.

I first cut off Ruan Min's tongue to frighten Li Xian, and then killed Ruan Min and forced Li Xian to submit. I can't go wrong at all.

If I make a mistake, I will castrate Li Xian and keep him in the palace as a eunuch. Let's see what King Annan can do!
"Forget it, just pick someone who is good at diplomacy." Zhu Qiyu sulked.

Hu Hui also wanted to ask about the move of hundreds of officials and their families to Beijing.

The emperor had no idea: "Please step aside, I still haven't finished reading the memorial."

You're acting like a child.

Hu Xi and others left the palace with a wry smile.

The emperor also wanted to summon Xia Xun and order him to lead his troops and sail to Guangxi.

And in Jiangxi.

All the green forest heroes captured by Zhu Yi moved into Rehe.

Zhang Shan is still transporting silver coins.

Every time he transported it, he returned home with a full load, mainly the rewards from the Guangxi wolf soldiers, which he transported to Jiangxi.

After arriving in Jiangxi, it was sent to Guangxi by a ship from Guangxi.

And the wolf soldiers escorting Yinliang are different every time.

Because most of the wolf soldiers disembarked at the two lakes on their return trip and became Hubei wolf soldiers and Hunan wolf soldiers.

Those who are completely voluntary and willing to stay in the two lakes and work hard will be given three rewards. If found, they will also be equipped with an iron sword, a set of cotton armor, and a waist card.

The wolf soldiers are all natives, poor and impoverished. When they see the money, of course they are willing to stay.

I don’t have a home when I go back, so I’m not just hanging around.

What's more, thousands of people disembarked from the ship, and they were not worried about being betrayed. In order to calm the hearts of the Lang soldiers, they promoted barbarian generals to lead them.

Those who are unwilling to stay will continue to transport silver, and those who return to Guangxi will be given a reward.

Everything is voluntary.

The distance Zhang Shan transported became shorter and shorter.

More and more rivers are freezing.

The money was gathered in Henan, and Lin Cong was struggling to find a way to transport it. He also had to put down the rebellion in Huaiqing Mansion.

"The rebellion in Huaiqing Mansion is probably related to this money."

Jin Zhong thought: "If you can't get money in Jiangxi, then go to Henan to do it. The charm of money is so great!"

"Wealth and silk move people's hearts. Silver must be transported to the capital quickly to avoid trouble."

Ye Sheng has been in Poyang City for a few days and has been interrogated every day.

The source of the money is still not clear.

Because the interrogators don’t know either.

"Mr. Ye Ge, why don't we put on a play together to lure the snake out of its hole." Jin Zhong was fixed in Poyang City, and his whole body was about to grow hairy.

He couldn't wait to rectify Jiangxi and avenge himself.

"What kind of drama are you acting in?" Ye Sheng came to Jiangxi for meritorious deeds, but as a result, he became lonely.

"Pretend to lift the blockade in Jiangxi and see who will pop out?"

"How to fake it?" Ye Sheng became interested.

Jin Zhong smiled and said: "Withdraw the troops, and someone will naturally show up."

"What if someone escapes from Jiangxi?" Ye Sheng frowned.

"Just run away. Can you escape from Ming Dynasty if you run away again?"

Jin Zhong sneered: "Besides, if the money remains in Jiangxi, we will have no merit but no fault."

Ye Sheng shook his head: "This strategy is feasible, but what should I do with the money in Poyang City? I successfully lured the snake out of the hole, but the Jin Yiwei is trapped in Poyang City. What's the use?"

Jin Zhong slapped his head: "When Zhu Yi comes back, speed up the delivery of silver!"

And in Guangdong.

The rebellion in Huizhou Prefecture had been put down, and Fang Ying rushed to Guangzhou to take charge.

But news came that Ou Xin was ill.

Fang Ying asked him to rest in peace and recuperate, sent someone to replace Ou Xin, and asked Ou Xin to return to Guangzhou to recuperate.

When Duan Si'e saw Ou Xin again, she found that Ou Xin was much older and his legs were lame. He was lying on the bed. Although he was decadent, his reputation was resounding throughout Guangdong and Guangxi.

Let me ask you, who in Guangdong and Guangxi has never heard of Ouxin’s reputation?

The court's favor was passed down, Ou Xin's title was restored, and he was given the title of Longchuan Bo.

Highlighting Ou Xin's contribution to Longchuan is an extra favor from the emperor.

Yong'an, the original Huizhou Prefecture, was captured by the rebels and burned down. A new city was built and renamed Zijin by the emperor.

Ou Xinrong was granted the title of Longchuan Bo, but he was not granted a world certificate for the time being.

He also granted Ou Xin a marriage and allowed him to marry Duan Si'e as his equal wife. Duan Si'e was allowed to hold an official position and be granted a title.

Under the auspices of Fang Ying, the two went to the church to get married.

What woman wouldn't want to marry a hero?

Ou Xin is a hero, an authentic count. Counts are not rare in the capital, but in Guangdong and Guangxi they are like gods.

"Husband, this Guangdong chieftain is a half-civilized chieftain. He knows the court's policies but is unwilling to obey them. What do you think we should do?"

Duan Si'e served the decoction.

Although she is a barbaric girl, she has been reading the Women's Commandments recently and asked her master to explain them to her.

There are also many temptations in my speech, unlike before, which is straightforward and a little clever.

Her voice has become softer now, her smile is toothless, and she is imitating a lady in every gesture, but she is imitating others and looks nothing like her.

It makes people look awkward.

Ou Xin opened his eyelids and said lazily: "Just kill him."

"Guangdong is not as good as Guangxi. If we continue killing like this, I'm afraid we will get burned." Duan Si'e said in a gentle tone.

Ou Xin sneered twice: "Whose body are you burning?"

"Hmph, just burn those toasts' bodies!"

"Have you been reading those crappy books recently and your brain has gone crazy?"

“Your Majesty’s edict is destiny!”

"As a minister, you just need to obey orders. Why do you think so much?"

Duan Si'e confessed.

Ou Xin sat up and pulled her up: "Don't listen to those literati, they are just to fool fools!"

"They don't believe it themselves, so you are the only one who believes it!"

"Alas, trying to imitate others will only make you laugh!"

"You are a barbarian girl. What I value is a barbarian girl, not a zombie-like woman!"

"It's good to be yourself!"

What Ou Xin values ​​​​is Duan Si'e's ability to lead troops in war.

But after Duan Si'e learned the female command, she no longer wanted to lead troops to fight. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent?Have you failed Tianen?

The emperor's imperial edict is written, allowing Duan Si'e to serve as an official.

Duan Si'e blinked and looked at Ou Xin in confusion.

Ou Xin hugged her: "I like Duan Si'e who has brains and can lead troops to fight!"

"Does my husband really like me as I am?"

Duan Si'e has been in Guangzhou for some time.

When she first came here, some officials and family members invited her to the theater, but they all laughed at her several times, and some deliberately made her look embarrassed and made her laugh.

So she began to read the women's commandments, move closer to them, and become what she considered a dignified woman.

Becoming a Han Chinese through and through, Countess.

"nature!"

Ou Xin saw it in his eyes: "Those people are just jealous of your talent and ability. They are mediocre people. Why should you bother yourself?"

"You Duan Si'e, you are Duan Si'e!"

"You are remembered by His Majesty because of your ability, not because of your imitation and imitation of those mediocre people!"

A word that shocked people's hearts.

Duan Si'e then turned around.

Her son was able to be sent to the martial arts hall, and she was able to marry Ou Xin and become a common wife, all because of her fighting skills, not because of the female precepts!
Those who laugh at her, let them laugh if they like.

If I fight a few more battles, I can be the first countess in the Ming Dynasty. Who can compare to me?
I earned my title by myself, not by my father, brother, or husband!That is the most noble!
"Thank you for your advice!"

Duan Si'e smiled and regained her cunning side: "Then when can I go to the battlefield?"

"After you give birth to a son for your husband, hahaha!"

In the official residence, Fang Ying repeatedly read the secret decree given to him by the emperor and fell into deep thought.

The sun and the moon fly by, and the new year is approaching.

Li Xian had already returned, and Xia Xun led his soldiers to escort him.

Li Xian came to take advantage of the excitement and returned in disgrace.

He was happy when he came, but a little sad when he left, although many people came to see him off and gave him many gifts.

But in the Ming Dynasty, he was really sitting on pins and needles, and life was worse than death.

Although the weather in the capital is cold, everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, and the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

The 21th of the twelfth lunar month.

Dong Ci hurriedly entered the palace: "Your Majesty, my servant has come to announce the good news!"

"What's the joy?"

Zhu Qiyu was reading the memorial. The merchant ship brought by the Guangdong Shipping Department has been transported outside the palace. He has ordered it to be moved into the palace. It is expected that the move will be completed tomorrow, and he will go and have a look.

"Royal Trading Company has knitted all 30 sweaters!"

Hey!
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "30 sweaters?"

"This slave does not disgrace the holy order!"

"Okay! Reward, big reward!"

Zhu Qiyu paced back and forth excitedly: "As I said before, reward!"

"Feng Xiao, pass the order to the transportation office and order it to transport the sweaters to the frontier and distribute them to the soldiers, so that the soldiers can have a warm winter!"

He was also wondering whether he should set up a post office in the palace.

The delivery system is very important.

He originally wanted to privatize it, but complete privatization is not possible. He might add a eunuch to act as a local emperor. I am afraid it will be difficult to develop.

I still need to think about it again, whether to hand it over to the Sixth Department or let the eunuch supervise it.

"Dong Ci, you have made great contributions to the sweater matter."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Dong Ci, do one more thing for me."

"Please give me your Majesty's orders. If you go through fire and water, I will do it for your Majesty." Dong Ci knelt on the ground.

"It's not that serious. You can go and find some silversmiths and craftsmen among the people."

Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "Next year, I will change silver into silver coins. You will go to the private sector to search for relevant craftsmen to make silver coins that cannot be imitated by the private sector but must be mechanically suppressed."

The hydraulic coin press existed in the Yuan Dynasty, and the original picture can be found in the palace.

But how to mix the silver coins requires a little experimentation and time.

"Your Majesty, that's a lot of fire consumption." Dong Ci also felt sorry for the fire consumption.

"It's okay."

Now that we have decided to control the water.

A huge amount of money was needed, and the emperor could not afford it himself.

As long as silver coins are produced, silver will be abolished and silver will not be allowed to circulate among the people. In this way, the cost of curing the Yellow River will be shared among the gentry all over the world.

The key is how much silver is hidden among the people. He doesn't know yet. By using silver coins instead of silver, he can know the amount of silver hidden among the people.

You can tell who is loyal and who is traitorous at a glance.

"Just find someone to do it."

"The woolen mills have all given up. There is no need for the Royal Merchant Bank to focus on this small profit."

Zhu Qiyu used the Royal Commercial Bank as a science and technology institute.

"and also."

"It's winter, and the hall is very cold."

"You go and think of a way for me to make glazed windows. The price should be low, it should be transparent, and it should be able to see sunlight. It is best that ordinary people can afford it."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I said that after the new year, I will ask you to go to the people to collect weirdos. I want all kinds of weirdos. If there are not enough in the capital, I will search all over the world. The more the better."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Send Dong Ci away.

Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao: "Can you still write acid poems and scold me in Beijing?"

"Your Majesty, you don't care at all."

"More and more people are scolding you now. They have no idea how much the emperor has done for the people!"

"You work hard day and night, handling government affairs day and night."

"These people know how to use their words and they all deserve to die!"

Feng Xiao became angry when he mentioned it.

These damn people don't know anything and are just talking nonsense.

The emperor just didn't care and had a laissez-faire attitude.

Even the matter of forcibly relocating the families of hundreds of officials in the world seems to have been put aside.

It seems that he was forced to let go after being scolded by these people and not daring to go against public opinion.

The emperor was also afraid of public opinion.

This emboldened the literati. Not only the people in Gyeonggi Province scolded them, but the literati in Jiangnan also scolded them more harshly. Those literati who were moved to Rehe and Hetao were scolded so sharply.

People all over the world are cursing the emperor.

In the past, I used to hide my scolding, but now I am almost scolding openly.

"Have you written it all down?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Your Majesty, the factory guard has taken note of it. Is it time to settle the score in the future?" Feng Xiao couldn't wait.

"Let's talk about it after a year."

The eighth year of Jingtai is about to pass.

Zhu Qiyu was holding back because he was transporting money to Beijing, which was a big deal.

There was also the Guangdong Rebellion, which disrupted his layout and made him so passive.

Just bear with it a little longer, it will get better soon.

The next day.

The ships and goods detained by the Guangzhou Shipping Department were sent to the capital, as well as the New Year gifts prepared by Liu Zhenhai.

A boatload of corn demonstrates Liu Zhenhai’s filial piety.

A large amount of goods were moved into the palace, filling several side halls of the Yangxin Hall. Goods that were not afraid of freezing were placed outside the Yangxin Hall, filling the entire square.

Zhu Qiyu stood at the door of Yangxin Hall.

Officials from the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet came out to watch the fun, and the guards in the palace were also very surprised.

They don't know many things.

"Your Majesty, I know that the prison has been inspected several times and there are no poisons. You can watch with confidence." Feng Xiao reported.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and looked around the goods.

One by one, the lids of the boxes were opened.

"Come and take a look. Let's take a look at the goods delivered by the Shipping Department." Zhu Qiyu clasped his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, a ray of light refracted from the box.

Zhu Qiyu leaned over to take a look and saw himself in the mirror. He was shocked: "Is this a mirror?"

Feng Xiao went over to take a look and was shocked.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is a monster!" Feng Xiao exclaimed.

Officials from the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet looked over, some exclaimed, and some were trembling with fear.

Just as Zhu Qiyu was about to get it, Feng Xiao stopped the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you can't get close to such monsters!"

"Go aside, you monster, this is a mirror!"

Zhu Qiyu pushed him away and reached out to take the mirror in his hand.

This mirror is slightly rough, and its transparency is slightly different from modern mirrors. The coating on the back is not aluminum or silver, but seems to be mercury, so the transparency is much worse.

He saw himself in the mirror, handsome and handsome.

Looking at the minister in the mirror, Ni Qian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, could this be a monster?"

"I think you are a monster!"

Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "This is a mirror, and what is in the mirror is yourself!"

All the ministers couldn't help but laugh.

Ni Qian made a fool of himself and made a big blush.

There were about four or five mirrors in that box, with varying transparency. Apparently the glass was fired at a low temperature, and some were still blurry.

"Scrape off the stuff on the back and try it with silver powder." Zhu Qiyu picked the clearest one and handed it to Feng Xiao.

He continued to search for treasures among the massive goods.

"Bring this here." Zhu Qiyu pointed to a wine bottle.

Feng Xiao picked it up and handed it to the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu opened the cork, smelled it, and immediately smiled: "This is wine."

This is not a rare thing.

Grape wine luminous cups existed in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Akito doesn't like drinking it.

In fact, Westerners don’t like drinking it either. It became popular because crew members needed to use wine to supplement their vitamins.

As for drinking wine as being noble, that’s just stupid. In the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, even dogs wouldn’t drink it.

It’s popular now, it’s just marketing.

"Tsk, this armor is kind of interesting."

This is the armor worn by ancient European knights, but the workmanship and wrought iron quality are not high. It should be a Western antique.

"Your Majesty, can this sword hurt someone?" Feng Xiao played with the knight's sword.

"It's just a decoration. It should be used as the Ming Dynasty's gentleman's sword."

Zhu Qiyu walked around the goods: "Huh? What is this? Show it to me."

Like a lens.

The polishing technology is excellent, but it is very old and has damage on the edges. It should be scrap materials used to make telescopes.

"Your Majesty, we can't make such transparent glass!"

At this moment, Feng Xiao actually felt that Fo Langji might really be more powerful than Ming Dynasty.

This thing should not belong to Fo Langji. There are many capable people in many European countries, and Fo Langji is only temporarily powerful.

These goods are diverse and can be found from all over the world.

Zhu Qiyu also opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, there are so many books here!"

Feng Xiao found that a box was filled with books, and several nearby boxes were also filled with books.

Zhu Qiyu asked him to present it.

I found that my poor English could not understand these words...

Could it be that what you learned in nine years of education is a fake foreign language?

"Ask Liu Zhenhai who these boxes belong to. Bring the owner of the boxes to the capital and stay in the Seiyi Pavilion to translate these books."

Zhu Qiyu was very interested in culture: "No, bring all the people who understand culture into the capital and go to the Siyi Museum to translate books for me."

The most important thing about a country is culture, nothing else.

Continue to search for treasures inside the cargo.

"You should all take a look and show me anything new you see." Zhu Qiyu would definitely not be able to see it by himself.

The courtiers followed and watched.

"It's an insult to politeness!" Ni Qian threw a sculpture on the ground, then covered his eyes, unable to bear to look at it.

Zhu Qiyu came over to take a look and immediately smiled.

"Your Majesty, this Western barbarian is so ignorant of etiquette and makes people like this. It is simply immoral and shameless!"

The courtiers criticized him both verbally and in writing.

Don't look at that stuff.

This is a sculpture with no hair on it. This is called Western art.

But he suddenly had an idea: "Is there a master sculptor in our country?"

The capital lacks landmark buildings.

Wouldn’t it be beautiful if a statue of Emperor Jingtai was cast and became a landmark building in the capital of Ming Dynasty?
