In a post house in the capital of Daming, Silone and Ahaya put on Daming's clothes, stood in front of the mirror and couldn't help but look left and right, and the two also nodded with satisfaction.

Drifting across the ocean to Daming, Daming is also regarded as giving them due courtesy, coming from Tianjin, they also live in a post house dedicated to entertaining foreign envoys, and they don't need to worry about food and accommodation.

When they came to Daming, they can be regarded as having gained some knowledge.

The hugeness of the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the wealth of the Ming Dynasty also opened their eyes, and at this moment, they were even more convinced of everything that Tian Erniu promoted.

The Ming people are the people of God, they are the descendants of the dragon, and they are deeply favored by God, so they can have such a vast land, such a prosperous city, and such a rich life.

And they themselves are because of the blasphemy of the gods, so they will be banished to the Golden Continent by the gods, they must atone for the mistakes they have committed, so that they can return to the arms of the gods again like the Ming people, and become as rich as the Ming people.

Today, they are going to meet the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, both of them were in a pilgrimage-like mood, carefully sorting out their clothes in front of the mirror.

The Ming people said that when you meet the Son of Heaven, you must be very respectful, and you can't have the slightest disrespect.

"Two ambassadors, it's time for us to go."

Fu Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came here wearing a crimson robe.

In order to reflect the importance that the Ming Dynasty attached to the Aztec Kingdom of the Golden Continent and the Inca Empire, Emperor Hongzhi sent Fu Han to come over in person, and he also cared for Silone and Ahaya.

"Yes~"

The two nodded, followed Fu Han out of the post house, and got on a four-wheeled carriage and headed towards the palace.

The four-wheeled carriage drove on the flat cement road, without feeling the slightest bump, and when the curtains on both sides were opened, the bustling, noisy and lively scene came into view.

Before coming to the Ming Dynasty, the most prosperous city they had ever seen was Tenochtitlan, although it was the capital of the Aztec kingdom.

But compared with the capital of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, there is no comparison at all.

The biggest feeling given to them by the capital of the Ming Dynasty is that it is big and too big.

Tenochtitlan is home to two or three hundred thousand people, but the capital of the Ming Dynasty is said to have millions of people here, such a huge city, such a huge population, it is beyond imagination.

The combined population of the entire Aztec kingdom is not as large as the population of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the huge city, here they have a deep inferiority complex.

Everyone in the Ming Dynasty wore clothes, and the clothes were brightly colored and had exquisite patterns.

But what about them, here in the Aztec kingdom and the Inca Empire, there were very few people who could afford to wear clothes, and even if they were nobles, most of the time they only wore some animal skins to cover their shame.

When they first arrived in Tianjin, they were immediately ridiculed by countless people as soon as they got off the boat.

In addition, when I arrived in Daming, I even paid a lot of attention to eating.

To use two sticks to eat, the Ming people think that eating directly with their hands is extremely unhygienic, and it is also extremely barbaric and backward.

They feel very uncomfortable, and even go to the toilet, which is very particular here.

The toilets in the inn where they lived were cleaner than those in the kingdom where their king lived, and the floor was tiled, which was very clean.

There is also a faucet that turns to produce water, soap for bathing, and delicious food that makes you swallow your tongue...... Daming's bits and pieces here make them feel extremely inferior.

In contrast, their Aztec kingdoms and Inca empires were as backward, ignorant, and ignorant as primitive states.

This strengthened their conviction that the Ming people were the people favored by the gods, and although their ancestors were the same as the Ming people, they were expelled and banished to places like the Golden Continent because they blasphemed the gods.

"Great Sun God, please forgive us for our sins."

Silone couldn't help but pray to the god in his heart.

……

In the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers were in the early court.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the two countries of the Golden Continent have arrived in our capital, and we ask Your Majesty to show us how to treat these two countries."

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up, seeing that he was about to meet with the envoys of the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire, but the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and these two countries had not yet been decided, which was not good.

In the future, these two countries will be treated as vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, or will they be treated as their own people, or will they simply be treated as the objects of oppression.

This is all to be discussed, because it will be related to a series of actions of Daming later.

"What do you think Aiqing should be treated?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, and looked at the ministers below, in fact, Emperor Hongzhi knew what they meant.

It is nothing more than the gold and silver of these two countries.

Tian Erniu conquered these two countries in the name of Tianjin Ocean Trade Company, and not only brought back tens of millions of taels of wealth for Tianjin Ocean Trade Company this time.

And according to Tian Erniu's propaganda, in the future, these two countries will have to mine a large amount of gold and silver every year to atone for their sins, and this money will of course go into the pocket of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company, which is equivalent to entering the pocket of Emperor Hongzhi and the crown prince.

With such a huge amount of wealth, the Ming court can't even get a single hair, which is not good.

Therefore, although it is ostensibly to discuss the status of these two countries, in fact, it is essentially to discuss the ownership of this huge wealth.

Of course, Liu Jin and his courtiers hope that this money belongs to the Ming court, and it is easy to do things when the treasury has money, and they also have a deep understanding now.

Don't look at the current Ming treasury, the tax collection is sufficient, and there are tens of millions of silver tax silver every year, but now the expenditure is also large.

Emperor Hongzhi built water conservancy, bridges and paved roads, and built infrastructure in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, which required silver, and needed a lot of silver.

The large-scale immigration of the imperial court to Liaodong and Nanyang also required a large amount of silver.

In short, the more silver, the better, anyway, no one is too much.

If the gold and silver handed over by these two countries every year can be included in the national treasury, then the finances of the imperial court will be more abundant, and the silver will be more generous in the future.

Emperor Hongzhi actually saw their thoughts, but Emperor Hongzhi was also short of silver.

The navy will be built, the new army of the Ming Dynasty will be expanded, and after the war on this side of the South Seas is over, the next step will be to fight the Western Regions, and the road to Europe on land will be opened.

This annual military expenditure is an extremely large amount, and Emperor Hongzhi has a headache when he thinks about it.

These are all from the inside of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi is now a little impulsive to kill Liu Jin, and the military power is withdrawn, but all this military expenditure comes from the inside, which is like a mountain pressing on the head of Emperor Hongzhi.

Tian Erniu finally got two long-term meal tickets for himself on the Golden Continent, and Emperor Hongzhi had already calculated that these two countries would contribute 20 million taels of silver to themselves every year to be enough for military expenditures.

I was also very happy in my heart, and I had already thought about it, and when Tian Erniu and them came back, I would knight them and solve the major problem of military spending for themselves, which was a great merit.

Now, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are really eyeing this piece of fat, and then when the envoys of the two countries meet, they will discuss the status of these two countries.

Of course, there is a need for discussion.

However, Emperor Hongzhi will not let go of the fat in his mouth, and he will not give up no matter what.

"Your Majesty, these two countries are weak, and Tian Erniu conquered them with only 10,000 horses, although now it seems that they are very similar to our Ming people."

"Although we have always believed that they are descendants of Yin Shang, after all, they are far apart, and they have never been taught by Confucius and Mencius."

"Therefore, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to treat them as vassal states."

"Even if you want to treat them as vassals, you should only treat them as vassals after they have accepted my Confucian education."

As soon as Emperor Hongji's words fell, a minister immediately stood up.

With the strength of the Ming Dynasty and the continuous expansion of foreign countries, now the Confucian Confucianists of the Ming Dynasty also seem to have a second spring, and a large number of people have crossed the ocean to Korea, the Wa Kingdom, and Luzon here, and become the master admired by everyone in the local area, teaching the way of Confucius and Mencius, and being deeply treated by the major vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

So on the side of Daming, there is an idea that is slowly spreading among the readers of Daming.

Many scholars feel that there is no chance to get ahead in the Ming Dynasty, so it is better to go to the vassal country, not only to be treated, but also to spread the way of Confucius and Mencius, and to practice the way of Confucius to educate the world.

To put it simply, it is not easy to mix in the Ming Dynasty, it is better to go to a vassal country, not only to mix well, have an identity and status, but more importantly, to be able to have a little taste of Confucius traveling around the world and spreading Confucian thoughts.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, and he also deeply agreed with this.

Since ancient times, we have paid attention to the attitude of Yi Di when it enters China, and it is Yi Di when China enters Yi Di.

With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was also constantly promoting the Confucian Confucian and Mencian ways in all aspects, and the Ming Dynasty's vassal state agreement clearly stated this.

If you want to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, you not only need to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, you must learn the way of Confucius and Mencius of the Ming Dynasty, learn Chinese characters, change the Chinese surname, respect Confucius and Mencius, and respect courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, etc.

The two countries of the Golden Continent, although they look similar to the Ming people, are far from the same in this regard, and they are far from the standard of the Ming vassal states.
