Chapter 464: Put aside military threats and promote overseas treasure banknotes

Chapter 464: Put aside military threats and promote overseas treasure banknotes

In the seventh year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang established a department for raising and issuing treasured banknotes. In the eighth year of Hongwu, he issued an imperial edict to officially start the issuance of Ming Dynasty banknotes. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, it was abolished. In eighteen years, a total of Ming Dynasty banknotes were issued. A total of 10450 million treasure banknotes have been issued. Since the 1nd year of Hongwu, small banknotes have been added, ranging from ten to fifty coins. Not all of these million ingots are large banknotes, there are also one hundred to five hundred coins. Small banknotes ranging from ten to fifty coins.

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, banknotes had been worn out for a long time, and the Banknote Law was reversed, allowing old folk banknotes to be replaced with new banknotes, and quasi-copper coins and treasure banknotes to be exchanged. In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Baoyuan Bureau stopped minting money due to lack of copper. In the autumn of the same year, Because of the obstruction in the implementation of banknotes, Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that money could not be used. In the 26th year of Hongwu, it was inconvenient to pour banknotes, so the printing of Ming Tongbao banknotes was stopped.

The currency of the Ming Dynasty was very good. At least before the autumn of the 25th year of Hongwu, the banknotes could be exchanged for money from the official treasury. They were cashable banknotes. The only real non-cashable banknotes were from the autumn of the 25th year to the 26th year of Hongwu. For a short period of time, Hongwu stopped printing money in the 26th year of his reign because there were no more copper coins in the treasury and it was completely emptied.

The corruption of the Kaizhong method in the Ming Dynasty was due to similar reasons.

Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, where the imperial court of the Hu and Yuan Dynasties frequently abolished banknotes and reprinted them, the Ming Dynasty adopted treasure banknotes and did not engage in the trick of exchanging old banknotes for new ones. In the end, the Ming Dynasty lasted 276 years. , only one type of banknote, the Ming Dynasty Tongbao Banknote, was issued, and all had the Hongwu era name. It can be regarded as a typical example of holding one's neck stiff until death.

After this, the Ming Dynasty still retained the Baochao Bureau and printed Baochao, more as a symbol of preserving the ancestral system.

The Ministry of Household Affairs attempted to implement the Banknote Law, but was blocked by Wenhua Palace. The Ministry of War relied on the convection of coal and silver and the post station to obtain banknotes. In fact, it was a contract, accounting currency, and paid banking business. It could be obtained at Xishan Coal Bureau If you switch to Jiaotan and go south, you can also redeem it at Jingshi Huitongguanyi.

Wang Chonggu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, told the emperor a short story at the end. Jin Xiao, an oil seller, was framed for picking up gold without knowing it. County magistrate Chen Zhen seemed to have over-enforced the law and imposed excessive threats and punishments. Zhu Yijun felt that Zhang Juzheng was right. The custom of the Ming Dynasty was Such a small thing was corrupted, and the imperial court wanted to prevent it, but it was difficult to do so.

After the court meeting, Zhu Yijun left Zhang Juzheng alone, not because he had any confidential matters to discuss, but simply to show off the results of his unprofessional work.

"Is this a measuring cart?" Zhang Juzheng was stunned. The picture in front was drawn by the craftsmen of Xishan Coal Bureau based on practice, and the measuring cart in front of him was obviously the same as the measuring cart he knew was used for measuring. ,completely different.

The two clocks are used to measure longitude, and they record the Beiya time. The two are responsible for calibrating each other to average, and there is a sundial for measuring the local time. These are the experience of the navigators constantly sailing on the sea. An algorithm is extremely valuable.

The great inventor Zhu Yijun.

Zhang Juzheng frowned. After thinking carefully, he shook his head and said, "I don't know how to object. There are hidden worries in the recent implementation of the New Deal. This is actually normal. No decree is perfect. Contradictions are everywhere. Okay. The existence of bad opposites and unity is too weak due to choking."

"Since the degree bypass, the mapping of the Ming Dynasty has finally made significant progress after the old god Guo Shoujing, almost three hundred years ago." Zhu Yijun is extremely pleased with the results of the past nine years. After Guo Shoujing's mapping of the world, the Ming Dynasty finally has a Further mapping achievements.

"Are you quite opposed to the recent New Deal?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng about his views on the recent New Deal.

With all this going on, Zhang Juzheng felt that enough was enough. If he continued, he would threaten the imperial power.

"So I had to give it a try first."

Zhu Yijun has grown up, and the center of power is gradually transferring from Zhang Juzheng to the emperor. The recent New Deal is quite radical, including the expansion of Yanxing Tower Trading House, the trial implementation of national debt and banknote laws overseas, and the acceptance of bills of exchange at the inn. , are somewhat incompatible with the Ming Dynasty, and run counter to the ethics.

Zhang Juzheng walked around the measuring scooter twice, then verified the functions one by one, studied the structure of the vehicle, and kept saying: "Interesting, interesting."

"Okay, okay, good stuff." Zhang Juzheng studied it for a long time and said with confidence: "With this, you won't have to worry about how big the world is."

He walked to the cart and pulled out the first rod, and then the beam was stuck in place to prevent the rod from falling off. This rod was a sextant, which was used to observe Beichen's angle of departure and dimensions, and then pulled out the second rod. Two poles, this is a triangular mapping telescope, responsible for determining the angle of the observation target. He pushed the cart for a few steps, and the readings changed. This was the path distance, and then he took out the A shovel, a pair of pliers, and a pickaxe.

There are lessons from history. The Anshi Rebellion caused the Tang Dynasty to slide from its prosperity to hell. After the Anshi Rebellion was put down, the Jiedu envoys discovered their strength and became mountain kings one by one. The vassal towns became divided into middle and late Tang Dynasties. The biggest chaos.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the observation dimension is just the angle between the North Pole and the Earth. But in the Southern Hemisphere, you need to look for the South Pole sky, the vertical bisector of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, and the point that forms an equilateral triangle with the Magellanic Clouds. But in practice, it is often Can get it wrong because there is a false cross that interferes.

"What is this?" Zhang Juzheng asked, pointing to a line on the picture with some confusion.

The current New Deal is indeed a bit too deviant.

Zhu Yijun chatted with Zhang Juzheng enthusiastically about the various wonderful uses of this tool.

"I really don't agree with it." Zhang Juzheng chose to tell the truth. His Majesty asked directly, and he answered directly. With so many detours, the guessing was not in line with their relationship between the monarch and his minister. He thought over and over again. He opened his mouth and said: "In fact, in my opinion, the strength of the new policy is completely sufficient, and there is no need to go further."

This set of iron wire and copper bells is the lifeline underground.

"This is my suggestion. If the Doctors from the Institute of Geosciences make good things, it will be much more convenient to hunt for dragons and share gold, find mineral veins, and draw maps." Zhu Yijun stood in front of the measuring scooter and said with a smile on his face. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Juzheng was still in the court and had the time to fish, he personally designed and produced such a tool that was very useful to Dr. Gewu.

It is not easy for the things left by the old immortal to be preserved for three hundred years, and now the Ming court has finally taken another step forward on the shoulders of the old immortal.

Zhu Yijun explained: "There is a torch at the ventilation outlet. If the outgas is ignited, it proves that there is poisonous smoke underground, which is very dangerous. You must go to the well immediately. In order to notify the underground, a copper bell is hung with a wire and the bell is shaken quickly. , and if someone shouts in the call pipe, get out of the well immediately. "

The Fuwei Holy Dynasty governed the world with filial piety. Filial piety is the basic operating rule of society under Confucianism: the official order of high and low is appropriate, so it shows that future generations will have the order of respect for the elder and the younger.

The Ming Dynasty now has the capital for trial and error. It is no longer the precarious situation when His Majesty first came to the throne. The specific quality of the decree should be tried first. Anyway, it is a pilot project. If it succeeds, it will succeed. If it fails, there will still be "Zhang Juzheng" and "Wang Chonggu" 'These sycophants?

He opened the box on the cart. There were inks, pens, and a wooden board with clips on it. There were many cut standard papers on it, as well as a mechanical calculator and two clocks.

Gas leakage accidents are called poisonous smoke in the Ming Dynasty. Once there is poisonous smoke, they will leave the underground mine immediately. The place Zhang Juzheng pointed to is a complete set of alarm devices. There are several types of shaking copper bells. If water seepage is found, the underground kiln will The people should ring the bell and retreat immediately. If they are too late, they may die in the well.

In the process of the transformation of the small-scale peasant economy into the commodity economy, due to the abundance of commodities, a fetishism of the omnipotence of commodities will arise. When silver flows into the silver dams in the capital, Nanya, Songjiang and other places, the fetishism will inevitably turn to the worship of money. Confucian scholar-bureaucrats who believed in the belief that money was omnipotent, whether it was material worship or money worship, had a huge impact.

"Then sir, if you don't agree, why don't you object?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Zhang Juzheng's New Deal never thought about establishing a new order from beginning to end, but just to extend the life of the Ming Dynasty.

The Imperial Academy of Geosciences completed the mapping around the Guandao Post Road of the Ming Dynasty in stages, and the map of the Ming Dynasty was finally no longer out of proportion.

Zhu Yijun said with considerable approval: "Thirty taels of silver is not something ordinary people can afford."

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng's expression and showed a bright smile. Just like before, Zhu Yijun remembered that one is one and two is two. He asked Zhang Juzheng to distinguish between the king's father, the king's master and the king's country. At that time, Zhang Juzheng He refused, and now Zhang Juzheng still refuses.

"This one, a new measuring cart!" Zhu Yijun came to a cart, which is a comprehensive mapping tool.

"Geographical map! When you return to the cabinet, take a copy with you and study it slowly." Zhu Yijun showed part of the feng shui map. Only the one for Suiyuan was simply outlined, but one could still see its general shape.

A five-masted ocean crossing ship is enough, there is no need to build a fast sailing ship; it is enough to clear the land and return the land, there is no need to census the dingkou and equalize the land service; six books and one account are enough, the Ming Dynasty's finances are increasing day by day, and there is no need to expand the trading house , there is no need to issue national bonds; the silver and red copper flowing into the Ming Dynasty are enough, and there is no need to explore the banknote method; the "Regulations on Giving to Posts" are enough, and the acceptance bills of the post are taken over by the Ministry of War.

Zhang Juzheng collected the things His Majesty gave him, and before returning to Wenyuan Pavilion, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, in the case of Chen Zhen, the magistrate of Shicheng County, the owner is probably a lackey of the local Zheshe household. Chen Zhen has just arrived. , The local Zheshe household is afraid that Chen Zhen will be given a blow, and Chen Zhen is not a fool. "

The emerging bourgeoisie will never satisfy the current class. With more social resources in their hands, they will become increasingly dissatisfied with top-down exploitation. The emerging bourgeoisie will definitely find ways to achieve their own class transition, that is, rebellion. .

When a class controls social resources that are completely beyond the control of its class, it becomes inevitable to want to go further.

"When Mr. left, he took one with him. I made a lot of them. Each of the Doctors of Gewu has one. It's not expensive, and each one costs less than two taels of silver." Zhu Yijun continued to explain how to use various tools.

"Sir, look, this picture is a kiln shaft of Xishan Coal Bureau. Most of the kiln workers work underground. The coal in Mentougou is buried deep, making underground work very dangerous. In order to ventilate the air, the craftsmen made a long tube. It is very ingenious to insert the ground into the well and use a reciprocating steam engine for ventilation." There is a painting in front of Zhu Yijun, which shows kiln workers mining coal. The ventilation device is an important invention of Xishan kiln this year.

"There are more." Zhu Yijun brought Zhang Juzheng to a huge Kan map, and pulled out the red silk cloth. On it was a giant Kan map, which was a detailed map of the counties and counties in the Ming Dynasty. There were also other maps under the table. A box containing a more precise map of the four governor-general offices of two capitals and thirteen provinces.

This is not surprising. He had just ascended the throne, and Zhang Siwei planned to give the emperor a blow by bringing Wang Jinglong into the palace to scare him.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of August in the ninth year of Wanli, I miss my family even more during the festival. Governor Xu Wei, who was far away in the Governor's Mansion in Nagasaki, opened a rare bottle of Guojiao from the first year of Wanli and called Sun Keyi, the shipping envoy to the city. The commander of the Nagasaki Capital Division, Li Chengli, the Shibo Division promoted the eunuch Dynasty, and the patrol censor Luo Yinghe and others.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a festival of reunion, but they are all in a foreign country and can only look at the bright moon and feel homesick.

"Everyone, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's drink a lot." Xu Wei raised his wine glass. He didn't say so many toasts, but it was boring. Five people shared a pound, which was only three taels per person.

"Some good news came from the capital." After Xu Wei finished his glass of wine, he talked about the news about Daming.

"Qi Shuai's golden sword and iron horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, stepped on the platform and rose, beheaded five thousand soldiers to watch the Weiwei grassland, drove straight into the Hetao and then regained the Hetao. This is the first joy."

"Datong, Shengzhou, and Womagang discovered Dameishan, Tongshan, and Yinshan. From then on, the Ming Dynasty was in urgent need of silver and had to rely entirely on overseas imports. This is the second joy."

"The navy of the Ming Dynasty expanded from 30,000 to 90,000 troops and was stationed in Mizhou, Songjiang, Guangzhou, and Ryukyu. The waves of the Ming Dynasty have calmed down, and there are no more worries about Japanese pirates on the merchant ships. This is the third joy."

"Your Majesty has got another princess, and she is the Queen's direct daughter. This is the fourth joy." "Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank again, and the Nagasaki Governor's Mansion was filled with joy.

These are all happy events closely related to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace. As the Ming Dynasty was still promoting military affairs, the Nagasaki Governor's Palace would inevitably continue to exist. Silver did not have to rely on overseas. This was the top priority for the safety of silver. The pressure on the Nagasaki Governor's Palace was suddenly reduced. , the navy expands its army, and if there is a change in the Nagasaki Governor's Mansion, there will be support. Your Majesty will be happy to get a thousand pieces of gold. If any of the Governor's Mansion's families burn high incense and marry a princess, it will naturally be even more joyful.

"Fine wine, Governor Xu is picking at it, but he is only willing to open one bottle of this good wine!" Li Chengli swung the bottle and found that it had reached the bottom.

Sun Keyi waved his hands repeatedly and said: "After all, we are in Nagasaki, so we still have to be careful. Drinking too much will cause trouble."

It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just that it's inconvenient to open it and drink it.

"Sun Tiju, how many Japanese slaves have been sent to the Yuanxu Islands in the past six months?" Xu Wei looked at Sun Keyi and asked in a low voice. As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Sun Keyi. The Japanese slave business is a shady slave. trading.

There is demand in the Yuanxu Islands, and the Nagasaki Governor's Palace has a supply of Japanese slaves. There is demand and supply, and naturally there is a price and profit. The Nagasaki Governor's Palace is very good at ringing bells, and the output of Japanese slaves is extremely high.

Since Chen Lin assisted the Nagasaki Governor's Palace and defeated the Shimazu clan, Ryuzoji clan and Otomo clan, the entire Kyushu Island of Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Higo, Hinata, Satsuma, Osumi, Including 1400 islands under its jurisdiction, all belong to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace.

Ever since Chen Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Navy, left Nagasaki, the Nagasaki Governor's Office has been doing one thing, which is to counter the rebellion. However, if you kill the prisoners after the rebellion, it is unlucky to kill them, and if you don't kill them, they will It would be a hindrance to keep them, so they all rang the bell and were sent to the Yuanxu Islands to work as slaves and cultivate wasteland.

Isn’t it beautiful to solve the dilemma yourself?
"Thirty thousand, and another 4,700 Japanese wandering girls were sent to Songjiang Mansion." Sun Keyi said calmly. Sun Keyi was from Songjiang and was a witness to the Japanese invasion. He really couldn't do it to sympathize with the Japanese. So he behaved cold-bloodedly, picking off people's bells like knocking pigs.

Blood feuds can only be repaid with blood. How did the Japanese pirates wreak havoc in the southeast, and now Sun Keyi is repaying them reciprocally.

Not all of the 100 Japanese slaves were captives, some were captured by specialized slave catchers. There were approximately one million Japanese slaves on Kyushu Island. In half a year, pairs of bells were picked, which was already very inefficient.

"The capital sent a batch of treasure banknotes. I plan to use this batch of treasure banknotes in exchange for silver." Xu Wei took out a box and opened it. Inside was the Ming Dynasty overseas treasure banknotes. Different from the general banknotes, overseas treasure banknotes were used. It is the Wanli year number.

The patrol censor Luo Yinghe flipped through the exquisite treasure banknotes, shook his head and said: "The printing is extremely beautiful, and it looks quite strong. It is a pile of waste paper. The Maori family and the Oda family are not idiots, how can they agree to this? I wouldn’t be happy if I exchanged waste paper for silver and sulfur.”

Luo Yinghe, as the patrol censor, had contact with the Japanese gentry. The top leaders of the Japanese country all learned Chinese, and the same was true for their correspondence.

The law, medical books, and scriptures of the Japanese country are all written in Chinese. This is a class barrier. Common people in the Japanese country have no access to sinology, and they cannot understand the legal and medical texts. This is what the Japanese country does, and the same is true for North Korea.

The top leaders of the Japanese country still know the Ming Dynasty very well. It is expected that the Ming Dynasty's treasure money is not as good as toilet paper.

"If they don't want it, then they don't want it?" Commander Li Chengli flipped through a stack of treasure notes and narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "They have to take it even if they don't want it. The Japanese say it doesn't matter."

In the second year of Wanli, Zhang Yuanxun, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, sent Li Chengli to Chaozhou Prefecture to pacify the Japanese pirates who were occupying Chaozhou's overseas islands. Li Chengli was defeated and Yin Zhengmao dismissed Li Chengli. Later, Li Chengli attacked Manila, Cebu, and Mindanao. After many meritorious service, he became a staff general again and was transferred from Luzon to Nagasaki.

The appointment and dismissal of officials in the Luzon Governor's Mansion were based on orders from the imperial court, which was consistent with the fact that the Duke's Mansion in Yunnan and Guizhou received orders from the king.

Now Li Chengli is fully capable of taking charge of his own affairs. In many civil unrests, Li Chengli took the lead. In the past two years, Li Chengli was responsible for the public security war. He said this from the perspective of strength.

Even if the Japanese country doesn't want treasure money, they still have to ask for it, and they have to exchange it for real gold and silver!
"Tomorrow I plan to send people to invite the Mouri clan, Chosogabe clan, Kono clan, Tokugawa clan, Gohojo clan, Kamigang clan and many other family governors to come to Nagasaki and let them come to Nagasaki in the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the king of Japan. Come and discuss the treasure together." Xu Wei looked around and made a decision.

After hearing this, the Eunuch Dynasty promoted by the Ichibo Division thought for a moment and said: "The carrot seal that Yoshiaki Ashikaga made last time was rotten. Let's carve a new one."

The seal and ribbon of the Japanese king of the Muromachi shogunate were originally given by the Ming Dynasty. It is very reasonable for the Nagasaki Governor's Palace of the Ming Dynasty to engrave the seal and ribbon of the Japanese king. It was already carved with radish last time.

"Okay." Xu Wei nodded and said, if you are willing to come, that would be the best. If you are not willing to come, then Xu Wei will summon the heavenly soldiers and generals, and ask Shuribo Chen Lin to take the five-masted ship to invade the house. Tie them over.

"The most difficult thing here is Oda Nobunaga. If he wants to be a man of the world, he may not be willing to give us this face." Luo Yinghe, the patrol censor, said slightly worriedly.

"Everyone else has come, but he didn't come. He couldn't do it even if he wanted to be a member of the world." Xu Wei smiled carelessly. In the past, these Warring States daimyo were afraid of Oda Nobunaga's reputation and recognized his identity as a member of the world. Now the Ming Dynasty Come, if Oda Nobunaga does not come, he will be at a disadvantage and will no longer be a member of the world.

Prestige is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.

On August 16, the ninth year of Wanli, the Nagasaki Coastal Defense Inspection Department, a total of 24 coastal defense inspections flew on the water, set up hydrofoil sailboats, and flew towards the major shogunate with the Big Dipper flag.

Xu Wei, as the governor of Nagasaki, the great angel, will summon the daimyo in Nagasaki on behalf of the Japanese king on the first day of September.

To go or not to go, this is not a question. These Warring States lords had no choice at all. They could only go by hydrofoil sailboat and bring two retinues with them.

Let’s not mention the direct military threat of the Ming Dynasty Navy. Although the five-masted ocean-going ship conducts an armed patrol every year, it is called a drill, but in fact it is a deterrent and a real visible threat.

Putting aside the military threat, how could we still do business with the Ming Dynasty if we hated the Nagasaki Governor's Palace? The entire Japanese daimyo had to go through the Nagasaki Governor's Palace to complete their trade with the Ming Dynasty.

If Xu Wei said a word, they would have to eat chaff and drink water, and they had to come.

The power of economic constraints is gradually showing. As long as Xu Wei takes their lives and does not let them die, he can only agree to the request that is not too excessive. Before leaving, the daimyo hugged each other and cried with their family members to explain the funeral arrangements. , I was afraid that when I arrived in Nagasaki, for some weird reason, my neck would be swiped with a knife.

Xu Wei has been actively preparing. This time he asked a total of twenty famous people to come to discuss the important matter of treasure banknotes, which is both issuing banknotes and trading. This large-scale trade fair will be held every year. The goods accumulated in Ming Dynasty this year need to be sold. Also determine the share for the coming year.

The daimyo's perception of the Nagasaki Governor's Palace is extremely complicated. On the one hand, the Nagasaki Governor's Palace was originally a territory of their Japanese country, but now it has become the overseas governor's district of the Ming Dynasty. This is obviously the Ming Dynasty's revenge for the Japanese invasion during the Jiajing period; On the other hand, this kind of trade fair is actually a disguised tribute trade.

Before the establishment of the Nagasaki Governor's Office, the Japanese state could only pay tribute once every ten years, and it was stipulated that there were only two ships, and they were two-masted Japanese ships. In order to pay tribute once every ten years, during the Jiajing period, there was a farce of Japanese envoys competing for tribute. Come.

But now, tribute trade can be carried out once a year, which makes the Japanese attitude towards the Nagasaki Governor's Palace complicated and contradictory. They do not want the Nagasaki Governor's Palace to exist, but they are also afraid that the Nagasaki Governor's Palace will really leave.

The trade fair was postponed from the first day of the lunar month to the ninth day of the lunar month, eight days later than the agreed date.

The reason for the delay was that Shuri Bo Chen Lin, with three five-masted ships, was rushing from Matsue Prefecture to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace. Xu Wei, after receiving the news, immediately chose to postpone it. Chen Lin was here to carry out the Of course, the melon that is used to deter and forcefully quench your thirst is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst.

Oda Nobunaga came because his main enemies were in Nagasaki.

The Mori Terumoto of the Mori family on the west side, the Nagasogabe Motochichi on the south side, the Uesugi Kagekatsu of the Uesugi family on the north side, and the Hojo Uji Nao on the east side. These are all enemies on Oda Nobunaga's path to Bubu Tenka. Oda Nobunaga had to come. If he didn't come, these families would encircle Nobunaga for the third time, and Oda Nobunaga wouldn't be able to bear it.

Xu Wei met Oda Nobunaga for the first time. He brought two entourages to visit the Governor's Mansion.

With a Tsukiyo head on his head, no matter how handsome his face is, his face will become strange. He has a high nose, a mustache under his nose, and a Tang robe that is white inside and green outside. The most bizarre thing is that Oda Nobunaga is wearing a red cloak. This red cloak is the style of the King of Thailand.

Oda Nobunaga maintained a group of missionaries in Kyoto. At first, the Japanese people did not know where the red-haired fans came from, so they called them Nanman. His cloak came from a gift from the missionaries.

A very different kind of dress.

But the daimyo are not surprised. In the eyes of the daimyo, Oda Nobunaga is the devil, and it is not surprising that he dresses differently. There are rumors that before Oda Nobunaga succeeded to the family governor, he liked to wear women's clothes and have sex with his sister Oda. The city is also called a beauty.

"The King of Japan, Oda Nobunaga, has met the special envoy of the Ming Dynasty." Oda Nobunaga did not kneel down. Obviously, he knew that it was impossible to get support from the Ming Dynasty. The general of the Muromachi Shogunate had already conquered the barbarians. He was placed in the capital, so Oda Nobunaga was not polite at all.

Xu Wei smiled without thinking too much. His first impression was that Oda Nobunaga was arrogant and quite arrogant.

"Sit." Xu Wei motioned for Oda Nobunaga to sit down. Without being too reserved, he took out the Ming Dynasty Overseas Treasure Banknotes and placed them in front of Oda Nobunaga.

Xu Wei looked at the Yongle Tongbao family emblem on Oda Nobunaga's shoulders and said: "This is a treasure banknote. In the future, Japan will use treasure banknotes."

"We, the Japanese country, have our own currency, so we don't have to worry about it anymore." Oda Nobunaga did not open the box. He knew that there were treasure notes inside, so he directly expressed his objection.

"Are these the Yongle Tongbao forged by the Lord of Overlord? Do you have the permission of my Ming Dynasty to cast the Tongbao of my Ming Dynasty?" Xu Wei shook his sleeves, threw out a dozen copper coins, and threw them in front of Oda Nobunaga, He said with a sneer: "With this money, in my Ming Dynasty, it is not even as good as flying money."

It was not Xu Wei who humiliated him. Oda Nobunaga privately cast the Yongle Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty as currency. The coining process was extremely poor. The sky was round and the place was neither round nor square. Moreover, it was two sizes smaller than the Ming Dynasty Tongbao. Yongle Tongbao was made of red copper. It is cast with tin and zinc, while the money cast by Oda Nobunaga is made of bronze, which is of poor quality but lighter.

The mother coins of the Ming Dynasty would often modify the characters in order to make the characters clear. However, the "Yongle Tongbao" cast by the Japanese country lacked the steps to modify the characters, and even the characters could not be read clearly.

With such little money, you still have the nerve to bear the word "Yongle"?
