Chapter 158: Hongji Hunting (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Yan Fu,
Wang Busui came to see Yan Chengjin.
"Young master, Chao Xian's envoy said that he wanted to pay a lot of money to visit Mr. Chuanshi, do you see?"
The envoys seemed to be very interested in the culture of the Ming Dynasty, especially the envoys of Chao Xian, who bought all the books of Mr. Chuanshi, Qingshanjun and Yingkesong.
I came to Lao Wang's study early this morning and wanted to visit Mr. Chuanshi.
After discussing for a long time, he couldn't make up his mind, so he came to ask Yan Chengjin for advice.
Yan Chengjin thought for a moment.
The Chao Xian envoy wanted to see Mr. Chuanshi, either to buy him into Chao Xian's nationality, or to be his protΓ©gΓ©.
"How much silver?"
"Give the villain a hundred taels, really see Mr. Chuanshi, add another one hundred taels."
"Ask Lord Wang."
It is estimated that none of these envoys are as rich as Wang Yue, and Wang Yuecai looks down on Chao Xian's envoys, so he simply let Wang Busui earn a hundred taels of silver.
There were still a few days left in Hongzhi's hunting, and the imperial court let the envoys live in Honglu Temple, and arranged to enter the palace one by one to meet the emperor.
Today's capital is more chaotic, and when you walk on the street, you can see the people of the envoy group, and Yan Chengjin generally does not go out.
Xu Yong, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, took special care of Yan Chengjin, and he specially sent some more people to patrol the western district.
In Zhou Yu's shop,
Zhou Yu invited many envoys to the mansion to discuss business, this is already the second wave, and there are many objects in the main hall.
There are raw silk, colored silk, tea industry, rice, antiques, calligraphy and painting.
Last night, I traded a large amount of raw silk with the Hami envoys, and these envoys purchased for the royal family, and they were very generous.
He is particularly interested in silk and porcelain.
Zhou Yu has a workshop in the south of the Yangtze River, which specializes in making colorful porcelain.
This kind of porcelain has a smooth body, a beautiful color, and a fresh atmosphere.
Not many years after it came out, it was very popular with the Francois and Hu people.
Hami nodded his head: "How many uncles, we want a thousand." β
"If you want a thousand, you dare to ask me how much, I thought you wanted five thousand." Zhou Yu's face darkened.
"What is this?" The envoy of Annan asked in a Beijing accent that was not fluent.
Zhou Yu walked over and said with a smile: "This is Yunnan black medicine, stop when you see blood, this lord knows that you Annan often fight, so I will give you a cheaper, twenty taels and one yuan." β
Annan's envoy's face changed, he was not a fool, such a little cost ten taels of silver.
Zhou Yu saw that he didn't believe it, so he asked the housekeeper to bring a knife, cut it, sprinkled a little Yunnan black medicine powder, and the blood immediately stopped.
The envoys looked at it one after another, very interested.
Fengtian Temple,
As soon as the envoys from Siam retreated, Mu Bin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have important matters to report, and the envoys are purchasing in Beijing. β
Emperor Hongzhi closed the sparse music: "Let them buy it." β
"But...... Changningbo invited many envoys and sold Yunnan black medicine to them. β
Emperor Hongzhi frowned, Yunnan black medicine has a miraculous effect on iron wounds, if you march and fight in the future, how can it be used on my Daming.
"Spread my will, and escort the chief Ning Bo into the palace!"
Mu Bin quickly left the palace and escorted Zhou Yu into the palace, Zhou Yu didn't know what crime he had committed, and complained a little: "I don't know if Your Majesty summoned the ministers......"
"Bold! Who allowed you to sell Yunnan black medicine! β
Emperor Hongji roared.
Zhou Yu trembled: "This thing is not an armament, and it is not a controlled thing, so I think it can be sold ......"
"You sold the prescription?"
"No, if you don't teach people to fish, don't teach people to fish, how can you not understand this truth." Zhou Yu said honestly, he sold the prescription, who would buy it from him in the future, so he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his anger gradually subsided, "Spread my will, in the future, this thing is equivalent to a weapon, and no one is allowed to sell it to Fanbang." β
Zhou Yu was embarrassed: "But the minister has already received their silver......"
Emperor Hongzhi made a straight face: "Do you want me to beat you and return the money, or do you want to go back and return the money now?" β
"Return the money!"
Three days passed without incident.
After a month of waiting, the hunt is finally about to begin!
Today, Emperor Hongzhi was a little apprehensive in his heart, so he got up early, and the cabinet ministers entered the palace at the same time.
Yan Chengjin was also a little apprehensive.
After all, I haven't even organized a class activity, and it's the first time I've such a big plate.
Emperor Hongzhi wore a dragon gon suit and a crown of purple and gold wings, preparing to go to Shijingshan with envoys from various countries.
Yan Chengjin was wearing an official uniform today, as the supervisor of the Beijing camp, he did not enter the palace, and went directly to Shijingshan before Emperor Hongzhi.
In Shijingshan cloth under the layers of ambush.
First the Jinyi Guard, then the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and finally the Dongchang Factory Guard, all listened to Yan Chengjin's dispatch today.
Yan Chengjin also ordered the archers to lie in ambush on the surrounding mountains.
In the blink of an eye, it was full of people......
Xu Yong's face was strange: "My lord, are you too cautious, there is an army in Beijing, who dares to be unfavorable to Your Majesty." β
Yan Chengjin nodded.
With so many people in ambush, he is not afraid of any chaos.
Emperor Hongzhi's chariot and honor guard marched to Shijingshan, followed by envoys and ministers.
For Da Ming's hunt, the envoys were not optimistic.
During the Yongle period, the Ming army was at its peak, and all countries came to the court, so the Yongle Emperor had the confidence to hold a military parade.
The strength of today's Hongzhi Dynasty is far worse than that of the Yongle Dynasty, and even the Tatars can't win.
The Tatar envoys Mandu, as well as the vassal states of Annam and Tibet, did not know what the Ming Emperor meant, and sent them invitations, so they came to see the joke.
A high platform was built on the flat ground of Shijingshan for Emperor Hongzhi and his envoys to enjoy.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes scanned around, looking for Yan Chengjin's figure, he failed to escape from the palace today, otherwise he would have arrived in Shijingshan a long time ago.
I saw that guy Gao ran over with a fart.
"Minister Yan Chengjin, see Your Majesty!"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded with a smile on his face: "Let's start, where do I sit?" The envoys should also be hospitable. β
"Your Majesty's throne is on a high platform, and the seats of the princes and envoys are also on the high platform, but in order to have a better viewing experience, please do one thing first." Yan Chengjin Road.
Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised, and then nodded his head.
Yan Chengjin took a group of people to the bottom of the high wall: "This high wall is made according to the specifications of the city wall, please Your Majesty, kick it hard." β
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
Could this be the dragon's foot that wants me to ......... Give it a light?
Zhu Houzhao was also stunned, blinked his eyes, and looked at the wall in front of him.
Isn't this wall the guy Lao Gao, who specially let the Tuntian camp build? It turned out to be for kicking.
"This palace is here to kick!"
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao, personally raised his foot, and kicked it against the wall fiercely, his toes hurt: "Yan Qingjia, is this feasible?" β
Yan Chengjin nodded: "The ministers have thanked Your Majesty for giving me feet, and I also ask the envoys to kick it too." β
The envoys of the various countries looked at each other, and they had just circled the wall, which was an ordinary wall, and nothing else special.
Kick it off......
More than a dozen envoys raised their feet and kicked against the wall.
The Tatar envoys were full of squashes, and kicked especially hard, eager to knock down the wall.
But he was tired from kicking his feet and neck, and he didn't move except for rubbing off a little powder.
The envoys had a black face, and there was no talk of letting people kick the wall first.
After the envoys were all kicked, Yan Chengjin said to Li Dongyang and the others: "Please kick the princes too." β
The ministers were more cooperative, this was their own business, and even if they complained, they could not show it in front of the envoys, and they left footprints on the wall "visit here".
Although Yan Chengjin did not ask Zhu Houzhao to kick, Zhu Houzhao was extremely conscious, and kicked and kicked until Yan Chengjin shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness? Enough is enough, let's get on the high platform and take a seat. β
