Merchants, especially those who have come from a foreign land, have every reason to go to any corner and any environment, except for the official palace and the military forbidden zone. If they have other motives, it is easy to disguise their true motives, and unless you do not allow them to do business, they can learn enough about the topography, the political situation, and the economic development through the people or things he comes into contact with.

When Xia Xun learned that the object he was going to deal with was the envoy of the Timurid Empire, he paid attention, and when he turned around, he arranged for someone to inquire about their news, and then went to the mansion of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, and talked about the matter of taking the envoy of the Timurid Empire to travel around the country next year, so he went home late.

This time I went out with the envoys of the Timurid Empire, mainly to show off his strength and intimidate the enemy through military might, of course, I had to say hello to the people of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies first, Zhu Neng is a senior, with the same status, but his qualifications are older than him, so I have to go and greet him in person to show respect, and there is no need to worry about the military department, Ru Chang and him are almost friends now.

Within two days, Xia Xun was rewarded, Aldusha came to Daming this time, brought a total of 100 merchants, and now asked for the permission of the Ming Emperor, these merchants have gone to various places to buy Ming goods, Xia Xun felt a little strange when he heard the news, people in this era obviously do not pay too much attention to non-war intelligence warfare, so that no one noticed the strangeness, but felt that this is a good opportunity for foreign countries to understand my Ming Dynasty and gladly agreed.

They came all the way from the Western Regions, and they were so clear about the Ming Dynasty, knowing which places were big cities and big fus? Or is there a better place to buy Ming goods than the imperial capital of the Ming Kingdom, and is there a more complete range of goods in the world than here? Especially after inquiring about the places where these businessmen went, Xia Xun felt more confident in his heart, these people went to the west, northwest, and southwest regions, and at this time, the economic center of the Ming Dynasty was centered on Jinling and radiated the entire southeast coast. However, Xia Xun did not interfere with this, this is the emperor nodded and agreed, without real evidence, he could not rely on speculation to ask the emperor to issue an order to restrain the actions of these foreign merchants. Moreover, the information they can find, including the geography of the mountains and rivers, and the direction of the rivers, is clearly there, and unless you don't even let people go, you can't cover it. Timur had coerced the Ming envoys to accompany him to travel all over the thousands of miles he conquered, showing off his military might, the Yongle Emperor was to govern his people in his own way, how could the Ming Dynasty hide his head and show his tail to weaken his own prestige? If everything that should be hidden and what should not be hidden is hidden, then the countries of the modern world do not need grand military parades and displays of advanced weapons, and sometimes they can only conquer the enemy with an upright army.

Therefore, Xia Xun just made some arrangements with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies on the travel route and the items that need to be visited and the preparations for the grand military parade in Texas, and the next time is the New Year.

Visiting the New Year, accepting other people's visits to the New Year, ushering in is a hard work, and now with the royal family climbed up to relatives, the royal family and the Xu family also have to walk around and walk down, turning Xia Xun dizzy. Fortunately, there are Ming'er and Xie Xie, two Lu Duoxing, who have already taken care of everything, otherwise Xia Xun will be able to toss him crazy just by planning which people's homes he wants to visit and what gifts he will give.

Xia Xun originally planned to go out on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and took Aldusha and others around...... Ziqi was very competitive and gave birth on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In ancient times, childbirth was a matter of life and death for both mother and child, in fact, the main reason was that most of the pregnant girls at that time were still underage, and the bone pelvis was not yet completed, and it was easy to form a danger when the child matured.

Ming'er found four stable women with the most experience in delivering babies from the capital, but they were useless, and the people were angry and dantian, and a newborn was born. is still a daughter, looks very cute, this is Xia Xun personally guarded the birth of the child, Xihan is very good, so he ignored Ziqi's strong protest, and resolutely gave his fourth baby a nickname, called "Zhengqi".

Xia Xun felt that this baby daughter could be born smoothly before she went out of tolerance, saving herself the toss back and forth, which was very angry for her old son, but the women of the Yang family didn't think so, even Ming'er was a little anxious, originally she was also looking forward to Zixi being able to give birth to a son to Xianggong this time, and having more sons and grandchildren is a prosperous family, but she gave birth to four girls in a row, could it be that her father-in-law was born with a "father-in-law"? Just because of this, several women of the Yang family are busy with their work, divination and fortune telling, inviting famous doctors, and gods, but Xia Xun did not have the consciousness of being anxious for the heirs, and he felt very funny when he saw several wives like they were facing a great enemy. But looking back and thinking about it carefully, Xia Xun vaguely remembered some things he had read when he was browsing the Internet before, as if there was talk about giving birth to boys and girls.

There are a lot of contents, Xia Xun was not married at the time, and he didn't go to his heart, he didn't remember much, but he vaguely remembered that the probability of having a boy or a girl seemed to be related to diet and intercourse time. One

Because Xia Xun has read from another report that due to the pollution of modern food and water sources, the probability of giving birth to a girl in the future will be much higher than that of a boy, and it seems that sperm with a W chromosome is more fragile and easy to kill. In addition, the interval between the time of intercourse and the period of self-employment can also increase the probability of having a boy or a girl.

After Xia Xun remembered, he casually said a few words to Ming'er about the news that his eating habits and travel time may be related to the probability of having a boy or a girl, he didn't take it to heart, but Ming'er remembered it, and when he turned around, he told the news to thank you, thank you and told Ziqi the news, and Su Ying told Su Ying again......

When all the women in the family knew, the hidden dragon spy got a very sacred task, and even Xia Xun didn't know about it: to investigate the time and daily eating habits of the couples who had more sons.

A very unusual census has begun.

This is also an extremely difficult task for the vast hidden dragon!

Xia Xun and several envoys of the Timurid Empire went on the road, out of the Tianyan Mansion, into Zhenjiang, Changzhou, to Suzhou in the paradise on earth, and then from the waterway to Huai'an Mansion, to Fengyang Mansion, north across the Yellow River into Shandong, to pay homage to the Confucian Temple, along the way, the customs and geographical environment of the Central Plains, several envoys of the Timur Empire have a full understanding.

Xia Xun didn't care about this, the Timur Empire was in the west, if they really wanted to come, they could only come from the west on horseback, across the desert and the Loess Plateau, and it was impossible to come from the sea, so it didn't hurt for them to understand the situation in the coastal area, and this was the richest area in the Ming Dynasty, and visiting this area was also in line with the requirements of the Yongle Emperor to promote national prestige.

When they arrived in Qufu, Shandong, after paying homage to Master Confucius, the group went to Yanzhou Mansion again. After staying in Yanzhou Mansion, Abdul Ersa and the others had to go up the street by themselves, and along the way, every time they went to a city, several envoys had to find an excuse to leave alone, travel around the place, and try to obtain all the information they could get.

First, he has no strong excuse to stop the other party's actions, and second, and the main reason, in his memory, Timur's lame emperor died of illness on the way to the east, and his empire completely relied on his strong dog's personal charm to exist, as soon as he died, it immediately fell apart, and the empire was busy fighting for power internally, and it no longer posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty. With this reason, does he still care about the little tricks of Abilsha and others?

Abdul Ersha and the others went shopping, and Xia Xun stopped and rushed to Yanwang's mansion to meet Yanwang. Shandong now has two princes, one is the king of Qingzhou Qi, and the other is this king of Yan. The prince is one level lower than the Son of Heaven, and for the hundred officials, he is also a king, so since he has entered the city, Xia Xun, the prince of the country, also has to enter the palace to meet him, in the way of the whole monarch and ministers.

King Yan didn't dare to snub the emperor's favorite ministers, King Qi, King Zhou, King Ning all have a deep friendship with the Duke of Fuguo, the fourth brother of the emperor is the brother-in-law of the Duke of Fuguo, how dare King Yan put a shelf in front of him, busy opening the door of the mansion, personally welcomed Xia Xun politely into the house, and set up a banquet on the Yin'an Palace, convened the ministers of the vassal king, and entertained Xia Xun with hospitality.

At this time, Chen Duersha, Gaisuyeddin, and Wulan Bari had just come out of a bookstore, and the shopkeeper chased them to Yangkou and waved to them warmly: "Three guest officers, welcome to come again!" ”

Behind the three of them, followed by a few big men in Hufu, one of them dragged a small Mou, which was full of books, and every time these people went to a city, whether it was useful or not, all kinds of books had to be drawn, pulled again, and all of them had to buy a set. When they came, they brought a large amount of gold, which had been exchanged for Daming treasure banknotes when they were in Beijing, as long as they could buy it, they didn't even talk about the price, and of course it was extremely popular.

Wu Lan Bari was the only one of the three who knew Chinese, and he knew Da Ming well, so he whispered a few words to Chen Duersha and walked away alone. Abdul Shah and Qaissuyaddin swaggered to other places, while Uyu Lanbari asked for directions alone and walked to the yamen of the Yanzhou prefect.

"Lao Jia, where is Di Bao for sale?"

Wu Lan Bari stopped a person who came out of the yamen and asked with a smile.

Di Bao was invented from the Western Han Dynasty, it became the earliest newspaper in the world, due to the backward means of copying, a Di Bao was passed from above, and the officials of the next level of the local Shi Shen wanted to read the Di Bao, and could only copy it again according to the mother's sample, so since the Song Dynasty, there were people who specialized in copying Di Bao and selling it for profit, and most of these people set up a small shop near the Yamen to operate.

Di Bao is a public public, you can buy it if you have money, and the records on it are all recent major events in the government and the opposition, and the news obtained from this is not only the widest range, but also the most extensive aspects.

When he arrived at the small shop that specialized in selling Di newspapers, he asked carefully, not only bought the current Di newspapers, but also bought the expired Di newspapers that had not yet been sold, carried them in his arms, and hurried to the post house...... Recommended tickets, monthly passes, worship tickets! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. ）
