Win the Ding 1617

Chapter 172 Articles of Association

There is a saying that the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and the horseshoe fragrance comes back after stepping on the flowers.This is a poem written by the people of the Tang Dynasty to describe the spring scenery. It talks about the scene after returning to Chang'an City after going out to visit the beautiful scenery.

This is exactly the portrayal of Li Shouhan's mood today.

Taking seven large ships on a trip to Ryukyu, he not only took control of Yonaguni Island by force, but also drove a big nail from the east of Dayuan, and also took control of the coveted Ryukyu Kingdom.Turning the land, port and population of the Ryukyu Kingdom into an important pawn in their own strategic layout.

"In the future, Naha Port in Ryukyu will be a transit point and supply station for our trade going east and north, and the flow of people and goods!"

In the cockpit of the Changsheng, a group of guys who accompanied Shouhan to Ryukyu for fun marked the data and icons one by one on the newly surveyed chart, while excitedly talking about the results of the trip to Ryukyu.

In the eyes of all the military officers, this trip to Ryukyu, with one cannon and one shot, had not been fired. If it wasn't for Zhang Ergou's knife, it would have been a perfect war without bloodshed, and it would actually control a feudal state conferred by the Ming court. hands.

"The prime minister has been changed, the tariff rate has been finalized, the port area has been demarcated, and people and ships have been left to collect the tariffs on their behalf, and arrest the villains at sea. My lord, why don't you simply destroy Ryukyu?"

"Keep him! Keeping him is much more meaningful than killing him."

The officers were speechless, so they had to fiddle with the things at hand.The accompanying soldiers and sailors were excitedly checking in the cabin and discussing the gains of the trip to Ryukyu.

Among the accompanying soldiers, a group was left behind in Yonaguni.In Ryukyu, there were two more soldiers left behind. Compared with when they came, although there was a lot of rough sugar piled up in the cabin, the cabin was still much more spacious.Soldiers passed the time by playing poker in the spare berths.Some also took out shell carvings, Japanese fans, lacquerware and other items purchased in Ryukyu to compare and show off.

The battle was not fought, and the soldiers just toured around Shuri Castle, fully appreciating the beauty and magnificence of this island known as the jade and pearl ball on the big island of Ryukyu.Or I used the small items I carried to exchange some valuable things with the Ryukyu locals.Or drink pig's trotters and swig the rice wine called "Awamori" in a tavern on the street.There is a person who is good at martial arts and even has a lot of Ryukyu players with others.

However, there were also people in the corner who were dejectedly facing the cabin wall.

"I said, little man, don't you always piss in there, okay?" Lin Daniu, the leader of the armor, was a little uncomfortable, and reprimanded Huang Sanlang, a soldier in his armor, in the tone of an elder brother and an official.

"What I know is that you are thinking about that little girl from the Weng family. Those who don't know think that I, the armor chief, put shoes on for you!"

Huang Sanlang is on the island.Met a romantic friend from 500 years ago.When arguing about the products and prices of each in the same shop on Ping He Street, I met the daughter of the shop owner Weng's family and looked at each other. Immediately, I felt as if I had seen it in front of the Sansheng Stone in my previous life.The two quickly fell in love.In addition to normal exercises.Saburo spends almost every spare time with this young lady from the Weng family.It's like blending oil with honey.

It is heartbreaking for young people to feel love for the first time and then have to be separated.

"Okay. Little Sanzi. The military order is like a mountain, don't feel uncomfortable there! After you go back, you write a post, and I will intercede for you, and ask the captain and sentinel for help, and see if I can transfer you to Go to the Ryukyu garrison! Then you and your little lover can get along day and night."

"Brother Niu! Is this true?"

Huang Sanlang immediately turned from worry to joy, and grabbed Daniel's hand with one hand, "Don't play tricks on me!"

"Why am I playing with you? You're not a little girl on the street? But," Daniu salivated and leaned over, although he lowered his voice, the people around him could still hear him clearly, "Did you steal it? ?”

Seeing the malicious smirks of a group of brothers around him, Huang Sanlang blushed so much that he could almost bleed.An old soldier from Jiali came over to put down the cards in his hand, came over to look at Huang Sanlang playfully, stretched out his hand and stroked on the bridge of Sanlang's nose, "The nose is collapsed, Sanlang has lost a lot of essence these days, When it's time for lunch, I'll give Sanlang my share of eggs! Let the Huang family brothers make up for it!"

"My share of Jiachang's food has changed with Sanlang's!"

Amidst the jokes of his fellow brothers, Huang Sanlang didn't know whether to be moved or angry.He had to work hard to eliminate the vegetables and meat that his brothers put in front of him, a bowl of tall rice and two steamed buns, two oily fried eggs, a plate of dried bamboo shoots and fried meat, which made him feel These guys are not so annoying anymore.

"Brother Niu, I want to ask you something. If Ah Weng and I have a child, can she and the child be naturalized?"

"Of course, everyone else does it like this!" Jia Changlin Daniu said casually, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly reacted, "What's wrong? Did you really sow the seeds in other girls' fields? "

In a few days, the fleet has arrived in Hue.

Arranging for the ship to be overhauled, the sailors to take a short rest, and the soldiers of the Guard Right Battalion to return to the barracks to arrange a rest, these things naturally do not need to be done by the Shou Han himself, he has his own things to implement.

Having just set foot on the land of Hue, facing Li Peilin who came to greet him, Shou Han didn't care to greet him. The first sentence was: "How much money do we have now? Silver dollars and Tongbao are included!"

Although it was a bit strange to guard the Han, Li Peilin, who was in charge of government affairs, still fluently reported the number of Tongbao and silver dollars left in the treasury.

"So far, we have minted 400 million Wennan Tongbao and 110 million silver dollars. In addition to those circulating in the market, there are about [-] million Wentongbao and [-] million silver dollars in the treasury as tax revenue. There are still nearly [-] million Wentong treasures and nearly a million silver dollars in the Treasury of the Minting Bureau."

"Okay! Propose 1000 million Tongbaolai, plus another [-] silver dollars, and send it to Ryukyu with the next boat!"

"Oh? But why? Our army has such a large expenditure in Ryukyu?"

Although the current Nanzhong Army has the taste of some local tyrants, it is in accordance with the system of the Nanzhong Army.There must be a budget for expenditures. If there are temporary large expenditures, they can only be paid in advance by the treasury first, and then written off after verification.

In the flower hall of the General's Mansion, which was the corner of the former royal garden of Prince Ruan, the guard ordered someone to take out a few copper coins and hand them to Pei Lin for him to taste.

"Huh? Goose-eye money?"

"Records of Envoys to Ryukyu" written by Li Dingyuan of the Qing Dynasty once described Ryukyu's finances in this way, "The goods in the market are easy to get, and the rate does not use money.... Yesterday Xiangya carried a string of money. The ring is like a goose's eye. There is no outline, and it runs through the The rope is about three inches long, and it is connected with four pieces. It is sealed with paper. There is a seal on it. Yu Yu said: "This ball is a new coin, and each envelope should be ten envelopes."

This kind of inferior coin is called goose eye coin.In addition to the large number of such coins circulating in the market, various coins minted in China and the so-called Kanei copper coins in Japan constitute the financial foundation of Ryukyu on the market.

"Money is used for transactions in the market. There is no silver. The money has no outline, and there are old coins as big as goose eyes in the middle, and the word "Hongwu" is in the place where it is worn out. There is no word, or there is a word 'wen'."

"The whole country's trade only uses copper coins made in Japan. They are thin and have no writing. Every ten folds one, and every penny folds one hundred."

Such coins are definitely inferior coins in front of Nanzhong Tongbao with excellent quality and exquisite casting.

"My lord, you want to throw a large amount of Nanzhong coins into Ryukyu? To drive out these messy coins?"

If you want to control a country, you must first control its finances.Although Peilin couldn't say this, he was familiar with such financial and economic warfare after being familiar with "Guanzi" and Sun Tzu's Art of War.

However, counting on one's fingers, a mere Ryukyu country, even if it is an important place for commerce and trade, can't afford Tongbao with a level of tens of millions?Not to mention there are still one hundred thousand silver dollars? !

"Hey! Brother Zong, you are really smart and confused for a while! If you only deal with these pickled coins from Ryukyu, the silver money I brought with me is enough! Why bother to put the coins in the warehouse Ship it all the way?"

Shou Han arranged the tea and food dishes on the table, and marked out a few places for Pei Lin on the coffee table.

A teacup was identified as the Ryukyu Islands, and another dim sum plate became the Shimazu family of the Satsuma domain in southern Kyushu and the more distant Japanese islands.In the distance, Ningbo and Songjiang Prefectures in Zhejiang Province are represented by teapots.The guard ordered the man to fetch a copper pot, which was filled with hot water.

"Duke Zhou said in the Dream Interpretation that water is money. Today we will use water to replace these silver coins."

After finishing speaking, Shou Han picked up the copper pot and poured it into the teacup. "This 1000 silver dollars and [-] million Tongbao, this mere Ryukyu will definitely not be able to accept it. When these silver coins squeeze out the original messy money in Ryukyu, the money we transported to Ryukyu will have two destinations."

Shou Han poured the water from the teacup into the tea plate, "One is the Japanese islands and vassals that have traded with us. The direction of this coin from Nanzhong to Japan via Ryukyu happens to be Japan and Ryukyu, Nanzhong The route of the tripartite trade. A large number of Nanzhong Tongbao will be transported back to China by Japanese businessmen to make huge profits."

"And the other route to Ningbo and Songjiang Prefecture in Zhejiang Province is also a Nanshan shortcut to quietly enter the south of the Yangtze River with a large amount of Tongbao and silver dollars!"

Poured the water from the copper pot in his hand into the holy porcelain teapot representing Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Shou Han clapped his hands, "Brother Zong, what do you think?"

Pei Lin shook his head, disapproving of Shou Han's behavior.

"My lord, don't be a frog in the well! A mere one hundred thousand silver dollars can be used in Ryukyu, but if it is thrown in the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid it won't even float up!"

Pei Lin's words are very blunt, but they are definitely in line with the facts at hand.When Dorgon's younger brother Duduo went to the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army casually copied 20 taels of silver from a medium-sized businessman's house, which is not counting the kind of jewelry, calligraphy, painting and antiques.Not to mention Yangzhou and other places that are known for their wealth.

"My lord, if you want to do Guan Zhong's affairs, you should import two things to Jiangnan, one is copper coins, and the other is various goods."

When the two were discussing the export of currency to Ryukyu, Japan, Jiangnan, etc., there was a sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard.

"Shou Han!"

"Shou Han!"

The voice is full of anxiety and joy.

In the entire Southern Central Army, only one person dared to address Li Shouhan like that.Faber.

In the past few years, with the gradual growth of age, Uncle Fu has been too inattentive. After the general's residence was moved from Ha Tinh to Hue, Shou Han simply opened up a courtyard for him in the palace, so that he can live in his life.

When the old man heard that Shou Han had returned from Ryukyu, he hurried from his own little world to see the young master.

"Fuber!"

Shou Han also has a lot of affection for this old man. In the mansion, only he, Yan Meier, Xu Huanshan, Zuo Tianpeng and others walked all the way with him, never being threatened or plotted against.Life's precarious moment has come all the way to the present.

For this old man.In his heart, he regards Fu Bo as a mixture of many roles such as father, brother, housekeeper, etc., but no matter what his identity is, Fu Bo is the kind of trustworthy in his heart.Someone worthy of entrustment.Every time I think of the days when I just arrived at the Garrison Mansion.Shou Han couldn't help feeling a little warmth in his heart.

Fu Bo looked Shou Han up and down.Seeing that although Shou Han was a little tired, he was very energetic, so he nodded in satisfaction. "It seems that the group of boys who went out with you took good care of you!"

After saying a few words of greeting, according to the rules of the Li family, when the head of the family and the eldest son return from a long journey, he must pay homage in the ancestral hall and tell the ancestors, don't worry about me. Has returned safely.Uncle Fu came this time to urge Shou Hanmo not to forget about ancestor worship because he was busy with business.

"Good! Good! I'll let them arrange it!"

A group of people talked and walked towards the ancestral hall of the Li family.

A small figure in the slanting stab rushed towards Shou Han, "Daddy!"

Erya, no, Li Huamei, like a shell, rushed into Li Shouhan's arms quickly. Shouhan deliberately made a pained appearance of being hit by a shell, bent down, and the muscles on his face twitched.

Hua Mei is already a big kid who is almost as tall as Shou Han's chest. She has a double-clawed bun, bangs in front of her eyebrows, hair with a shawl in the back, and a braid in the middle with a yellow and red ribbon.There is a gold collar around the neck, and a piece of emerald green is suspended from the collar.

He was dressed in lush green trousers and jacket, with a pair of ocher red cowhide boots on his feet, and a short riding whip in his hand. "Going to ride a horse?" Shou Han looked at Hua Mei lovingly, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead for his precious daughter.

"Daddy! You're back!"

Seeing her father whom she hadn't seen for many days, Hua Mei was overjoyed and kept talking to her father.

"Oh! No manners! Don't you greet Grandpa Fu and Uncle?"

Hua Mei made a playful grimace, stuck out her tongue at Shou Han, turned around, and saluted Fu Bo and Li Peilin respectfully, "I've seen Grandpa Fu, I've seen Uncle!"

Seeing the next generation of the General's Mansion also grow up, Uncle Fu couldn't help but feel complacent.Right now, Li Muhua is giving birth to a son, sisters Meishan and Shilin are rumored to have happy news, and Yanmeier is also pregnant for several months, and her body is quite heavy.Seeing that the people in the General's Mansion are thriving, as an old man, he is of course very relieved.

"Missy is not bad, she is talented and intelligent, and she is eager to learn and make progress. She will go down and think about things by herself. Several gentlemen in the school have written letters to praise her. To put it taboo, Huamei is quite the same as before. The demeanor of the ancestor of my Li family, Princess Pingyang."

What Pei Lin said was not just a bit taboo?It was simply a blatant challenge to the authority of the Ming court.That Princess Pingyang is Li Yuan's daughter, Li Shimin's sister, and married Chai Shao, who is quite famous in novels and storytelling. Ranked 24th among the 14 heroes of Yange, he has outstanding strategy and is good at winning more with less. He has eliminated Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande.However, compared with his wife, it is still a little worse.

After Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, Princess Pingyang immediately sneaked back to several manors of the Li family in Hu County, Shaanxi Province, scattered all her wealth, and recruited troops.Successively incorporated He Panren, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and other armed forces, expanded the army to more than [-] people, and controlled Huxian (today's Huxian, Shaanxi), Wugong, Zhouzhi, and Shiping counties.When Li Yuan led the Tang army to attack Guanzhong, Princess Pingyang led more than [-] troops to attack Chang'an with her younger brother Li Shimin and her husband Chai Shao, and her troops were even called the Women's Army.

Later, in order to ensure the safety of the fundamental land of Shanxi, Princess Pingyang led tens of thousands of troops to guard the Jingxing area and the gate from Hebei to Shanxi, leaving a name for China's geography, Niangziguan.After his death, he was buried with military ceremonies including 40 people from Yubaodao, Daren, Huizhu, Banjian, and Hu Benjia soldiers.

Pei Lin blatantly compared Shou Han's daughter to a hero like Princess Pingyang, and even the young Hua Mei could hear the implication.

"Uncle said that Huamei is Princess Pingyang, so isn't daddy Tang Gaozu?"

Looking at Huamei's beautiful goose-egg face with a pair of clear big eyes, Peilin said to him from left to right, "My lord, it would be great if the eldest lady was a boy, Peilin will definitely teach her all she has learned in her life, and assist her." The lord and the young lord have at least achieved some hegemony, but good luck tricks people, alas!"

"What's wrong with the girls? Uncle, a group of boys in the school are not as fast as I am in learning things, and they are not as good at learning as I am! A few days ago, the school taught spear shooting skills, and I picked out a few boys with wooden spears. Crying in pain! Such a boy, don't do it!"

Unconvinced, Hua Mei pouted her bright red mouth and acted coquettishly towards the uncle in front of her.

According to the agreement of the year, the children of Shou Han will call Pei Lin uncle in the inner house.

Seeing Hua Mei's rebuttal to her, Pei Lin was not angry but happy, and felt that a child can be taught. (To be continued..)
