Li Li, these names will not be unfamiliar to those who are familiar with the history of the early Ming Dynasty.

Three words: Li Taizu.

He was the founding king of the Later Li Dynasty.

Lai Li came from a wealthy family in Thanh Son Township, Liang Giang, Anna Thanh Hoa Province, and according to the history books, Le Li's great-grandfather Li Zhi thought it must be a good place when he traveled here, so he settled down, and three years later developed into a considerable industry, and since then "the world has been a ruler". By the time Li Li's son Li Ting (Li Li's grandfather) inherited the family business, he was already a giant with "more than 1,000 people".

Li Li was born in such a family environment, so he naturally had access to the superstructure, so it is not surprising that he could speak fluent Daming official dialect, after all, at this time, Annan, as a vassal state, still admired the suzerainty Daming.

Regarding Le Li's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, there are several theories, and the difference mainly lies in whether Le Li has served as an official in the Ming Dynasty, Vietnamese documents indicate that Le Li faced various schemes and temptations of the Ming Dynasty, and was still not moved by the officials.

Later, he felt that the anti-Ming activities of the Later Chen Dynasty were hopeless, so he "wandered the mountains and forests, concentrated on strategy, recruited wise and resourceful people, and recruited displaced people" in order to conspire against the Ming.

However, Chinese documents refer to Li Li's appointment as an official after the Ming Dynasty had other plans, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" contains: "Li Chushi Chen Ji expanded to the general of Jinwu, and later returned to the right, and used it for the inspection of Ole County, Thanh Hoa Prefecture, and the Yi was not willing."

This passage mentions that Li Li had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and was given an official title, and it is also recorded that Ma Qi, the Ming Dynasty eunuch, was insatiable, asked Li Li for bribes, and humiliated him many times, and even wanted to take Li Li's daughter for himself, which forced Li Li to rebel.

The above two statements are still inconclusive, but Li Li himself has made a noteworthy remark. He once recalled to his ministers that when the Ming Dynasty ruled Vietnam, he had "exhausted all his family to serve him, hoping that he would avoid disaster, and he had a lot of forgiveness for harming me, and the act of volunteering was really out of necessity." ”

According to the urine nature of history, Dusk believes that the latter is more likely, and Annan's documents are beautifying Li Li, and the description of Li Li in the Ming history is more in line with the current situation between Ming and Annam.

If it is really the latter, it can only be said that the eunuch Ma Qi misled the country.

Well, after he returned to Yingtian, he had Zheng He to keep an eye on this matter, and he couldn't let this person appear in the inner servant again.

It is necessary to nip this matter in the bud.

But after thinking about it, with me, even if the Ming Dynasty moves its capital to Suntian, there are various ways to strengthen its control over the Indochina Peninsula, and there will definitely be no situation of Annan's independence.

It's this Lili that can be used.

He may be able to become an outstanding spokesperson like Suqiuna.

It could even be better.

A person like Li Li, who has left a name in history, must have his own merits, if he is well guided, controlled, and helped him, let him unify the entire Indochina Peninsula......

A promising day!

Thinking of this, he smiled, "It's our presumptuousness, because of the heavy rain, we can't go to the Western Capital, and we have to bother in your mansion for a few days, there are many inconveniences, please forgive me." ”

In fact, he has a very good impression of Li Li.

When he first arrived, he was amazed by the style of Ursa and the others, and was shocked by Sua's beauty, but in an instant, he had returned to normal, and when he looked at Suaqina again, his eyes were clear.

It's a gentleman.

But his attitude towards the Ming Dynasty has to be seen again, to see whether he hates the Ming as recorded in the Vietnamese literature, or is forced to rebel by Ma Qi as the Ming history said.

If it's the latter, that's great.

If it's the former, then I'm sorry...... Even if it's you, Li Li, you can't stop me from dreaming of someone Huang.

Li Li laughed and sat down, "It's a bit of a coincidence, because of the family business, I just came back from Guangxi, I didn't meet your envoys, this rainstorm allowed me to see the Ming Dynasty, it was my luck, the envoys just live with peace of mind, if there is something, but tell the next person is." ”

This official language is more slippery than dusk.

Dusk smiled, "What did you do when you went to Daming?" ”

Li Li said frankly, "I can't hide it, in the important town of your country Guangxi and China, there are several novel things, there are lotions, shower gels, soaps, and a wave of fashion in the elite layer of Annam, but unfortunately the price is too expensive, the noble envoy is from Daming Jinggi, should be familiar with such good products, I went to Guangxi to check, and bought some back, to see if there is as good as the rumors, do not hide from your envoy, I have actually decided, to go to Daming Jinggi, to find the genius who created these things, to see if you can reach cooperation." ”

Dusk was stunned.

That's right.

How did you forget this incident: the loss of Annan by the Ming Dynasty was mainly due to the failure of the united front strategy and propaganda methods of the later management work, although a large number of academies were also established in Annan and a large number of books were transported, but the policy rarely benefited the people of Annan, so the people of Annan always believed that the Ming Dynasty was an invader, which led to the failure of cultural assimilation.

If you can make the people of Annam feel the improvement of their lives in a down-to-earth manner, will they rebel?

No, it won't.

Then the first step is to take the money policy through the line of Li Li, so that the people of Annam can enjoy the benefits brought by the industrial progress of the Ming Dynasty, which is also the first step for the Times Commercial Bank to become a giant like the East India Company!

It's possible.

Thinking of this, he smiled, "It's really a coincidence, the inventor and producer of those things, I really know it, if you are willing, when I go back to Daming, you will go back with me, but you can't dare to guarantee that he is willing to cooperate with you." ”

Li Li was overjoyed, "Really? ”

Twilight smiled but didn't say anything.

Li Li then got up and saluted again, "On the way back from Guangxi, I have used lotion and shower gel with the accompanying maids, and it does have miraculous effects, and I have tried the soap myself, after washing, it is clean and abnormal, and there is a refreshing fragrance, these things will be very popular in our country." ”

Immediately a little gloomy, "It's just a little more expensive." ”

The average person can't afford it.

Dusk laughed, "How come, even if you can't afford it, you can barter." ”

Isn't there a mine in Annam?

Copper and iron can all be used.

Li Li's eyes lit up, "It's feasible, but the specific operation has to be discussed after meeting with that wizard, I'm afraid that he thinks that the demand in our country is not large, and the high cost of transportation leads to thin profits." ”

Dusk smiled and said that there is no reason why there is no money to be made, and it is good that you are sincere when the time comes.

Suo Qiuna on the side saw it in her eyes, and her heart was also moved, if she got soap, lotion and shower gel to the Western Regions, it would be very popular - after all, the Western Regions were drier than Annan.

She has used all these things, and she likes them.

Huangfu has never lacked these things, maids and slaves are allotted, and they are generous.

Every time she used it, she was only seventeen years old, and she felt that she was back in her infant years, her skin was smooth, more beautiful than the most beautiful jade in the Western Regions, and she also admired the genius who invented these things.

It is simply a god for the benefit of women.
