Kyoto, Japan, cherry blossom baths

A ronin swaggers in and is immediately greeted by two women in colorful kimonos and clogs, who hug him left and right, staggering in, snorting a puff of wine and saying something laughing loudly

All the way by, no one cared about him, similar scenes abound in the baths, and some people even prostituted in public, compared to those behaviors, he is still Sven

In modern Japan, most of the mixed baths are high-end consumption places, and they don't bother to associate erotic activities with them, and they can't be touched, but in ancient times, each bathhouse, there were dozens of soup girls, and there were also called female generals, who accompanied wine, singing, and bathing, and the guests were interested, and it was conceivable what to do

A separate bath, quietly, with only one man, a delicate lacquer plate with a pot of sake and a few simple things to eat The drunken ronin walked into the small bath, said a few words of Japanese to the soup girl, and the two soup girls kissed him the cheek, and went out grinning

As soon as the soup girl was gone, the ronin immediately pulled the curtain, took off his clothes, walked into the water naked, and rowed next to the man who had closed his eyes and rested his mind, leaning comfortably against the pool wall, with a few large red lip prints on his cheeks

The man opened his eyes and asked, "How is it, have you inquired clearly?" ”

He said Chinese, and the eyes of the ronin who was full of wine also returned to clarity, nodded lightly, and said: "Yes, I have found out clearly, the one who slaughtered my Xiangshan County is the Owari little guardian Oda Tsunetake, who saw that the looting was very profitable, and he was very red-eyed, and he once let his younger brother Oda Tsunemei gather a group of broken samurai and ronin, and went to my Daming coastal area to plunder, because of the support of the Oda family, in several groups of Japanese organizations, their power is the largest."

All along, they have obtained many benefits at a very small price, however, when they were in Xiangshan, they were ambushed by Yi Shaozong Qianhu, and after a scuffle, Oda Changmei died, Oda Changzhu was very angry, and he had been planning revenge for this, they chose Xiangshan as the target, and sent a small group of men and horses to lure away the nearby officers and soldiers, causing this bloody case,"

"It's confirmed, Boss Xia has instructed, we must find out the culprit behind the scenes, and bring him to justice, our plan can begin"

The person who spoke was Dai Yubin, when Xia Xun's eyes turned to Japan, a group of capable spies were sent by him Dai Yubin did not understand Japanese, but it didn't matter, in fact, despite the ban on the imperial court, the smuggling trade between the people and Japan has been very frequent under the connivance of the coastal government

Raozhou's magnets, Huzhou's silk cotton, Zhangzhou's yarn hats, Songjiang's cotton cloth, books, copper coins, famous paintings, etc., all arrived in Japan through some secret channels, so there are many Chinese businessmen in Japan, and they are not necessarily proficient in Japanese, so the appearance of Dai Yubin and a group of people will not attract the attention of those who are interested

And the person dressed as a Japanese ronin is named Cui Yongjing, is one of the earliest secret spies in the development and absorption of the hidden dragon secret spy, he was originally a Shuangyu pirate, Shuangyu Wei rarely looted, mainly smuggling, and Japan because it is close at hand, is an important target for their smuggling, so he can speak fluent Japanese, when pretending to be a Japanese, even the Japanese are difficult to distinguish the authenticity, so he became Dai Yubin's right-hand man

Under the cover of smuggling and doing business, they soon took root in Japan, and now they have their eyes and ears in Edo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagasaki and other places, in addition to spying on intelligence, their other important duty is to find the real culprit behind the bloody case in Xiangshan County, and now they have finally found it

I don't know what conspiracy they planned against the Oda family, the two whispered for a long time, Cui Yongjing got up and wanted to leave, suddenly remembered something again, sat down again, and said: "Ah yes, I just got a piece of news, Beishan Hall is looking for a businessman who has just come to Japan and is familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty, I am worried that someone has noticed our whereabouts, and I specially inquired, it is said that their general Zhengyi wants to know about the situation on our side."

"Oh? Know what our Daming situation is like? ”

Dai Yubin thought for a moment and said, "You can find a way to get in touch with them, recommend Dongfang Liang to them, and see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd."

"Yes"

Cui Yongjing agreed, stood up, and walked out naked, of course he couldn't leave immediately, otherwise it would inevitably arouse suspicion, although even if the people in this bath were suspicious, they couldn't think of why they were suspicious, but caution is an important principle for them to do things, and they don't have to show this flaw to others

The curtain was closed again, and then there was an exclamation from a soup girl, followed by the obscene laughter of Cui Yongjing, who had regained the appearance of a ronin, Dai Yubin shook his head and smiled, and covered a wet towel on his face......

"He's so bold"

Zhu Di slapped the royal case and sneered: "The Japanese have been going ashore repeatedly recently and have not been obtained, and they have to leave dozens to hundreds of corpses every time they leave. Mess with the hearts of our army, we should be killed"

"The emperor is wise, whether the coastal depression is or not, how can it be because of the suppression of the Japanese? Could it be that the people benefited from the fact that they were asked to come to our Ming coast to plunder? The slave maid just received a letter from Huang Zhen's imperial envoy, and also mentioned the poverty and depression of the coastal people, which is very different from this Wanzhifu, the same person, this insight is really high-level judgment."

As soon as he heard Zhu Di angry, Mu En, who had been prepared, immediately interjected, he is now in charge of the inner room, and he has the opportunity to contact the chapter one step earlier than the emperor, because he is responsible for selecting, sorting, classifying and submitting, so it is natural to know a little bit of the content

"Oh? Are the coastal areas really so poor? Do you have any other opinions, take them for me to see?"

Mu En immediately flipped through the thick stack of concerto, took out one and presented it to Zhu Di with both hands

Huang Zhen's letter is very convincing to Zhu Di's spleen, and it is very convincing to say that it is because the content of the recital is rarely imaginary, unlike some people who write flowers and flowers, and there are few words that are really useful when implemented, and it is very convincing, the same reason, in order to persuade the emperor, most of the other people's recitals are reasonable, citing scriptures and scriptures, and the remarks of saints, in fact, the emperor has swept away these things, and it is difficult to be really convincing

And Huang Zhen's style of writing is very clear, he only talks about the facts, the power to judge right and wrong was not lost to the sage thousands of years ago, but handed over to the emperor Huang Zhen This chapter, it really took a lot of effort, he consulted a large number of ancient books, found the history of the Central Plains and other countries to carry out sea trade in the earliest Han Dynasty, has been counted, listed the pros and cons of each dynasty and each generation of sea business

Then he said that the earliest appearance of the sea ban began in the Yuan Dynasty, and listed the facts, analyzed the reasons for the four sea bans in the Yuan Dynasty and the reasons for the abolition of the sea ban, and listed the impact on the tax revenue of the Yuan Dynasty before and after the sea ban, especially in his recital, there was also a picture that Zhu Di read more than 1,000 copies of the music every day, and he had never seen it: a statistical analysis comparison chart

The comparison is between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, what is the proportion of the income of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in the imperial court tax, how high is the amount, how big is the gap between the total tax income of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the comparison of the cultivated land area and grain yield per mu between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the comparison of the amount of rice, noodles, meat and other foods that ordinary people can eat every day in the market......

Who has ever seen this strange data contrasting recital? Huang Zhen didn't find a reason from the "sage said", he only listed these, which was enough for the emperor to think deeply

Of course, Huang Zhen can't blame Taizu for this, and he will talk about the reason why Taizu banned the sea in this dynasty: it was because the imperial court needed to settle down internally and attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty at that time, and the remnants of the rebels and pirates such as Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen who fled to the sea could not be cleared for a while, so they ordered the implementation of the sea ban but now it is not the case, and the imperial court has the ability to clean up the sea frontier

At this time, the policy of the sea ban should be changed, which is not only related to the livelihood of the coastal people, but also the capital of the militaristic state

Of course, Huang Zhen can't write this style of music, and he has never seen it

The title, outline, style, and even the style of the table were written by Xia Xun for him, Huang Zhen was only responsible for checking these detailed data from the pile of old papers accumulated in the previous dynasty, and then organized into words to form a formal chapter Rao is so, the workload is huge enough, there was no computer at that time, and there was no special knowledge in this area, in fact, this task was handed over to him as early as before Xia Xun left Beijing, and Lord Huang climbed in the mountains and seas for a whole few months, and was almost tired to "steal sheep" again, which was completed

In fact, many of these things, he didn't know that the prince read moral articles and the words of the sage, he only knew that the Song Dynasty was weak, but he didn't know that it was the weak Song Dynasty, and the annual tax revenue in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River was several times that of the Ming Dynasty, and the people's lives were better than those of the people of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Di did not doubt it, the data listed on the chapter is very detailed, and it is clearly marked everywhere it comes from, this thing borrowed from Huang Zhen and a bear gall, and he didn't dare to falsify, did the trouble originate from the city or from the sea ban? Zhu Di didn't think about this question anymore, but the huge disparity in tax revenue had completely stunned him

It seems to be a window that has never been opened, and suddenly opens a crack, and from that gap, people see a completely different world On this day, Zhu Di's recital was not finished, and he was reading Huang Zhen's recital repeatedly throughout the afternoon

Ziqi, who was in a daze, took advantage of Ming'er's lack of attention, and quietly called thank you aside, and said the doubts in his heart: "Thank you, something is wrong."

Thank you blinked and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ziqi bit his lip and looked at Ming'er and Xiao Di, who were carefully stepping over the threshold with a blue and white porcelain vase that was one and a half feet high, and whispered, "Have you ever seen such a gift?" It's so exaggerated, how do I feel it...... Like a dowry? ”

Thank you for looking her up and down, Zi Qiqi said, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

Thank you for making a grimace at him and said, "Hehe, isn't our family Ziqi stupid?"

Ziqi was annoyed: "Who do you say is stupid?" You're ......, ah."

Ziqi exclaimed, covered his mouth, and lost his voice: "Could it be that I am right?" ”

Xie looked at the two stunned people who walked in front of him with a yellow pear carved dragon pattern stone face horseshoe foot square table, and said, "I see...... You're right."

Ziqi's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a long time before he groaned and said, "His guts...... It's huge."
