Chapter 370: There is a mountain of gold overseas
Early the next morning, the sky was dark.
When Li Dongyang and the others walked into the noon gate, they saw a strange scene, and their jaws almost fell to their toes.
Emperor Hongzhi trotted around the Guangting at the noon gate, saw him, and greeted him with a straight face: "Master Li is here." ”
"The minister has seen Your Majesty!" Li Dongyang bowed slightly.
Several ministers behind him who were surprised also saluted.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't care about them, and ran in front of him panting, Li Dongyang grabbed Xiao Jing: "Your Majesty, this is?" ”
"Doctor Wang said that His Majesty sits in the hall all day long and reads, which is not good for brain disease." After Xiao Jing finished speaking, he hurriedly ran up.
He often keeps fit, knows kung fu, and runs a few laps without incident.
I'm afraid that Your Majesty will fall, people who know martial arts are sensitive to ordinary physique, and Your Majesty's body bones are probably not as good as scholars.
Li Dongyang fell into deep thought, and suddenly remembered Li Zhaofan.
Xie Qian said: "Since ascending the throne, Your Majesty has rarely practiced like this, so it's good to come out for a walk." ”
It is common sense that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body.
Although running is not part of martial arts, it can also strengthen the body.
Yan Chengjin entered the palace, and listened to the eunuch of Fengtian Hall say that His Majesty got up early this morning and started his morning run.
I hope it's still too late, with Wang Ji's medical skills, he should still be alive in three years, right?
……
Tianjin Port,
Twelve large ships slowly approached the harbor, this one fully formed.
It is composed of fire chiefs, helmsmen, pan masters, yin and yang officers, sailors, in addition, there are thousands of wrestlers and sergeants.
All the way north, he sank two Japanese ships, and was invincible.
Li Kang said to Li Zhaoxian: "This way, I've bothered Li Gongzi." ”
Li Zhaoxian was the yin and yang officer on the ship, not only looking at the compass, but also responsible for observing and forecasting the weather and wind direction.
will make the group arrive in the capital so quickly.
Li Zhaofan said: "It is still necessary to escort Da Gama to the capital as soon as possible and hand it over to His Majesty for disposal." ”
After Vasco da Gama landed, he kept looking for the fifty guns.
Li Zhaofan ordered people to avoid fighting instead of fighting, but instead observed the weather, and Hainan was very prone to violent storms and rains.
When it rains, moisture and rain can damp the gunpowder.
The firearms of the Frangi were useless and suffered a great loss in the battle.
Vasco da Gama was captured by Li Zhaofan and escorted back to the capital.
Brought back to the capital, as well as the autumn grain of Hainan, a total of 620,000 stones.
The imperial court only collected more than 4.8 million stone in the autumn tax grain, and now, a political envoy in Hainan alone has collected 62 stone.
When His Majesty heard about it, he would be overjoyed.
Li Kang said: "This time against the Franco, Li Gongzi should take the first credit, and the official will report to His Majesty." ”
Li Zhaofan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the student was also instructed by Lord Yan." ”
After landing, Li Kang first escorted da Gama back to the capital, so that he could reach the capital in two days at the earliest.
Li Zhaofan and others took the transportation of grain to Jingcang.
Hundreds of thousands of stone grains, if transported by land, are extremely laborious and financial.
Walking through luck is the most money-saving, but it will be slower.
Li Zhaofan sighed: "I don't know what happened to my father. ”
"Big brother don't worry, after my father's serious illness, his body has recovered, speaking of which, Lord Yan is the benefactor of the Li Mansion.
It's just that my father has not agreed to the marriage between my little sister and Lord Yan because you went south. Li Zhaofan said.
Li Zhaoxian was stunned, he didn't expect that his going south would have such an impact.
The two brothers stayed on the boat for two of them, and saw that the capital was in front of them.
……
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is on duty.
Yan Chengjin crossed the path in front of the duty room, and saw the Zhang brothers, waiting for someone with their hands in their hands.
"The two lords are going to beat up their own officials?"
Zhang Yanling gritted his teeth angrily: "Yes, we're here to beat you!" ”
I heard that after His Majesty drank the milk of the sacred cow, he was cured.
Milk is sold for ten taels of silver a small jar, and it is sold out every day.
This is the cow he drove all the way back from the northwest, and he gave it to Yan Chengjin like this.
Yan Chengjin turned his head and ran away.
Zhang Heling stomped his feet and slapped Zhang Yanling: "Do you know that he is cowardly, what else is he afraid of him!" ”
Zhang Yanling was extremely aggrieved, he used to dare to shout at his brother, but now he will be scolded so much that he can't raise his head if he eats more rice under the fence.
Where do you dare to contradict Zhang Heling.
Zhang Heling rushed out with a swish, and hurriedly shouted: "Virtuous nephew, we are here to buy cattle and give silver!" ”
Because of His Majesty and Empress Zhang, he didn't dare to be rude to Yan Chengjin.
If this son plays a loose performance, he may attract His Majesty's injury.
He feared that His Majesty would take possession of his mansion and grange.
Yan Chengjin turned around, a little vigilant.
He was about to run back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to call people, and the group of imperial historians started to fight people, and they didn't let go of the thunder and thunder.
"The two lords want to buy cows?"
Zhang Heling smiled: "Yes, how do you want to sell it?" ”
"Five hundred taels for bulls, and one thousand thousand taels for cows." Yan Chengjin is serious.
Liu Wentai has been working hard to artificially aphrodisiac cows these days.
gave birth to cubs, and then sold them to Zhang Heling.
"Brother, buy the male one, the male one is cheap."
"Is the male breastfeeding?" Zhang Heling scolded angrily.
He was secretly glad that he was almost fooled by this kid again.
I calculated an account in my heart, a cow produces 50 catties of milk a day, and it can hold 50 small cans.
One day is ...... Five hundred taels!
Can you earn your money back in three days?
Zhang Heling said happily: "Four heads, I bought them all, and you will send them over today." ”
Yan Chengjin shook his head: "It's still in the stomach, the lord can pay the deposit first, and after he is born, he will naturally send it over." ”
Zhang Heling hesitated, but expected that this kid would not sell cows, and the small ones were not bad, and they would be born at the end of the year.
I heard that the lifespan of a cow is only twenty years.
The five cows are old and will not live for a few years, and when the time comes, the milk business will ......
Thinking of this, he happily handed over the silver.
As soon as Yan Chengjin received the silver, he saw the little eunuch of Fengtian Hall and came to announce the decree.
The little eunuch said: "Lord Yan, Lord Li Kang has escorted Fran Jiren into the palace, Your Majesty has summoned you and Jiuqing to go to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters." ”
Vasco da Gama was caught?
Yan Chengjin was a little surprised, Li Zhaofan really had a bit of Li Dongyang's strategy, and he was able to catch the living Da Gama.
This man expanded overseas, conquered many countries, and did not taste defeat.
His plundering brought much wealth to Portugal.
Yan Chengjin's motive for catching him was very simple, before the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, no one could touch the overseas cake.
Fengtian Temple,
Emperor Hongzhi was expressionless, looking at the weak Franco in front of him, except for his clothes and skin color, he looked no different from the Han people of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others stood on both sides.
Vasco da Gama was brought to his knees with ropes tied to his hands.
Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Hasn't Yan Chengjin arrived yet?" ”
The little eunuch outside the palace gate walked in: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Yan is here." ”
I saw that Yan Chengjin stepped into the main hall, and after saluting Emperor Hongzhi, he looked at the two Franco.
One of them should have been brought by Li Kang as a translator.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said: "Intruding on my Ming territory, can you be guilty?" ”
The slightly taller Franco, translating to Vasco da Gama.
I saw that Vasco da sneered and said a string of words without fear.
"Respected Emperor Daming, please let us go, we are willing to exchange the ship and withdraw from the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment and looked at the cabinet and Jiuqing.
Yan Chengjin stood up slightly and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you behead it after interrogation?" ”
When Fran Jiren on the side heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.
Emperor Hongzhi was surprised: "The Francois invaded Hainan, the evidence is conclusive, what else is the trial?" ”
When they were questioned why they had sailed all the way east, the minister suspected that they had found mountains of gold and silver overseas.
Otherwise, they would have traveled thousands of miles. Yan Chengjin said.
Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others are up.
Is there a mountain of gold and silver overseas?
Emperor Hongzhi was sitting on his lap and looked at the two Francos with completely different gazes.
