There is a way that the spring breeze is proud, and the horseshoe fragrance returns from stepping on the flowers. This is a poem by the Tang Dynasty people describing the spring light, which is about the scene after returning to Chang'an City after going out to visit the beautiful scenery, not so much writing the scene, but describing the happy mood.

This is exactly the portrayal of Li Shouhan's mood today.

With seven large ships to the Ryukyus, he not only took control of Yonaguni Island with arms, wedged a big nail from the east of the Daikan, but also controlled the coveted Ryukyu Kingdom. The land, ports, and population of the Ryukyu Kingdom have become an important chess piece in its strategic layout.

"In the future, the port of Naha in the Ryukyus will be a transit point and supply station for us to trade to the east and north, and for the circulation of people and goods!"

In the cockpit of the Tsunekatsu, a group of guys who accompanied Shouhan to the Ryukyus were marked with numbers and icons on the newly surveyed charts, and they were excitedly discussing the results of this trip to the Ryukyus.

In the eyes of all the officers, this time to the Ryukyus, one cannon and one shot, not a single shot, if it were not for Zhang Ergou's knife, it would be a perfect soldier without blood, and a vassal state canonized by the Ming court would actually be controlled in his hands.

"After the change of state minister, the tariff rate was finalized, the port area was demarcated, and the people and ships were left to collect tariffs on their behalf, and the treacherous people at sea were arrested. Lord, why don't you just destroy the Ryukyus? ”

"Keep him! It means much more to keep him than to destroy him. ”

The officers were speechless and had to go about their own business. The accompanying soldiers and sailors were excitedly inspecting and discussing the gains of the trip to the Ryukyus in the cabin.

Among the soldiers who accompanied him, there was a group of people left behind in Yonaguni. Two more sentinels were left in the Ryukyus, and although there was a lot of jaggery piled up in the cabin, it was still much more spacious than when they arrived. The soldiers played horse hanging cards on the spare cabins to kill time. Some of them brought out shell carvings, Japanese fans, lacquerware, and other items purchased in the Ryukyus to compare and show off.

The battle was not fought, and the soldiers just walked around Shurijo Castle and fully appreciated the beauty and splendor of the island called Jade and Pearl Ball on the island of Ryukyu Oshima. Or they exchanged small items with the Ryukyu locals for things that they thought were more valuable. Or you can drink a pig's trotter in a tavern on the street and drink a rice wine called "awamori". There are those who are good at martial arts, and they have a lot of Ryukyu players with others.

However, there are also people in the corners who look sad at the cabin wall.

"I said, little third son, don't you always run horse urine there, okay?" Lin Daniu, the first chief, was a little unaccustomed to it, and reprimanded his soldier Huang Sanlang in the first place in the tone of a brother and an official.

"What you know is that you are thinking about that little girl from the Weng family. I don't know, I think I'm the first to wear small shoes for you! ”

Huang Saburo is on the island. Met a romantic rival 500 years ago. While arguing with the same shop on Heiwa Street about their respective products and prices, they meet the daughter of the owner's Weng family, and they look at each other, and they feel as if they have seen it in their previous life. The two quickly fell in love. In addition to the normal drills. San Lang spends almost every day in his spare time with this Miss Weng family. It's like honey blending oil.

The feeling that young people have their first taste of love and have to separate is inevitably heartbreaking.

"Alright. Little third son. The military order is like a mountain, don't feel bad there! When you get back, you write a post, and I'll intercede for you, and ask the team officer and the sentry officer to help me see if I can transfer you to the Ryukyu garrison!" So that you and your little lover can also get along day and night. ”

"Brother Niu! It's true? ”

Huang Sanlang immediately turned his worries into joy, and grabbed Da Niu's hand with one hand, "Don't tease me!" ”

"What am I fooling you with? You're not a little girl on the street? However," the big cow leaned over with a salivating face, and although he lowered his voice, the people around him could still hear it clearly, "Did you steal it in your mouth?" ”

Looking at the ill-intentioned smiling of the group of brothers around him, Huang Sanlang's face was so red that he was almost dripping blood. A veteran in Jiali came over and put down the cards in his hand, came over and looked at Huang Sanlang playfully, stretched out his hand and gestured on the bridge of San Lang's nose, "The nose has collapsed, San Lang has lost a lot of Jingyuan these days, and when I eat lunch for a while, my share of eggs will be given to San Lang!" Let the Huang brothers make up for it! ”

"My share of the food of the first chief has been changed with Saburo's!"

In the banter of the brothers with Jia, Huang Saburo didn't know whether to be moved or angry. had to work hard to eliminate the vegetables and meat that the brothers in front of him gave him, a bowl of high-rise rice and two steamed buns, two oily fried eggs, and a plate of dried bamboo shoots and fried meat, which made him feel that these guys in front of him were not so annoying.

"Brother Niu, let me ask you something, if Ah Weng and I have a child, can she and the child be naturalized?"

"Of course, everyone else does it!" A Changlin Da Niu said casually, and as soon as the words came out, he reacted suddenly, "What's the matter?" Did you really sow the seeds in someone's girl's field? ”

Within a few days, the fleet had arrived in Hue.

Arrange for the ships to be overhauled, the sailors to take a short rest, and the soldiers of the right battalion of the guards to go back to the barracks to arrange rest, these things naturally do not need to be done by Shouhan himself, he has his things to implement.

As soon as his feet stepped on the land of Hue, facing Li Peilin who came to greet him, Shouhan couldn't help but greet him, and the first sentence was: "How much money do we have now?" Silver dollars and tongbao are counted! ”

Although there were some strange actions of the Han guard, Li Peilin, who was in charge of government affairs, still fluently reported the number of Tongbao and silver dollars left in the treasury.

"So far, we have minted 700,000,000,000,000 Wennan Zhongtongbao, 4,000,000,000 silver dollars, and in addition to those circulating in the market, about 100,000,000,000,000 Wentongbao and 1,100,000 silver dollars in the treasury as fiscal and tax revenues. There are still nearly 200 million Wentong treasures and nearly one million silver dollars in the treasury of the Mint Bureau. ”

"Good! Propose 10,000,000 Tongbaolai, plus another 100,000 silver dollars, and send it to Ryukyu with the next ship! ”

"Oh? But why? Our army has such a large expenditure in the Ryukyus? ”

Although the current Nanzhong Army has some taste of local tyrants, it is according to the system of the Nanzhong Army. If there is a temporary large amount of expenditure, it can only be advanced by the government treasury and then written off.

In the flower hall of the General's Mansion, that is, a corner of the imperial garden of the former Ruan Wangye, the Han Shou ordered the people to take out a few copper coins and hand them to Pei Lin for him to taste.

"Huh? Goose-eye money? ”

The Qing dynasty Li Dingyuan's "Chronicles of the Ryukyu" once described the financial affairs of the Ryukyus as follows: "The market goods are exchanged for nothing, and the rate does not need money." …… Yesterday, the incense house carried a string of money. Ringed like a goose's eye. There is no outline, through the rope, the length of three inches, even four through and together. Sealed with paper. There is a mark on it. Yu Yu said: This ball man has made new money, and each letter is ten big money. ”

This inferior coin is known as goose-eye money. In addition to the large number of these coins circulating in the market, various coins minted in China and the so-called Kanei copper coins from Japan formed the financial basis of the Ryukyus.

"Money is used for transactions in the city. Silver-free. There is no outline of money, there is old money such as goose eyes, and there is the word "Hongwu" in the grinding place, which is very rare. …… On weekdays, they are all wide Yongtong treasure money, and there is no word on the back of the money, or there is a 'text' word. ”

"The only copper coins minted in Japan are used for trade in the country, which are small and unwritten, with one discount for every ten and one hundred percent for each penetration."

Such a coin is definitely a bad coin in front of the well-quality and beautifully minted Nanzhong Tongbao.

"The lord means to put a large number of Nanchu coins into the Ryukyus? Expel all this messy currency? ”

If you want to control a country, you must first control its finances. Although Pei Lin can't say this, he is familiar with "Guanzi" and Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he is no stranger to such financial and economic warfare.

However, a mere Ryukyu country, even if it is an important place for trade and trade, can't afford to be a Tongbao at the level of tens of millions of liters, right? Not to mention 100,000 silver dollars?!

"Huh! Brother Zong, you are really smart, and you are confused for a while! If I had dealt with these pickled coins of the Ryukyus, I would have brought enough silver with me! And why go to great lengths to transport the coins in the treasury thousands of miles away? ”

Shouhan listed the tea plates on the table and made a few gestures for Pei Lin on the coffee table.

One teacup was taken for the Ryukyu Islands, and the other was changed to the Shimazu family of the Satsuma domain in Minami Kyushu and the more distant islands of Japan. In the distance, Ningbo and Songjiang Mansion in Zhejiang Province are represented by teapots. The keeper ordered the man to bring a copper kettle, which was full of hot water.

"Zhou Gong interprets the dream that water is money, and today we will use water to replace these silvers."

With that, Shouhan picked up the copper kettle and poured it into the teacup. "These 100,000 silver dollars, 10 million Tongbao, this mere Ryukyu will definitely not be able to accept. When the money was squeezed out of the original mess of money in the Ryukyus, the money we shipped to the Ryukyus had two destinations. ”

Shouhan poured the water from the teacup into the tea plate, "First, the Japanese islands and feudal domains with which we have already had trade dealings, and the direction of this coin from Nanchu to Japan via the Ryukyus happens to be the tripartite trade route between Japan and the Ryukyus and Nanchu. A large number of Nanzhong Tongbao would be shipped back to China by Japanese merchants to make huge profits. ”

"And the other route to Ningbo and Songjiang Mansion in Zhejiang Province is also a shortcut to Nanshan that quietly enters Jiangnan with a large number of Tongbao and silver dollars!"

Pouring the water in the copper kettle in his hand into the holy porcelain teapot representing Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Shouhan clapped his hands, "Brother Zong, what do you think?" ”

Pei Lin shook his head, a little unimpressed by Shouhan's behavior.

"Lord, don't want the frog at the bottom of the well! A mere 100,000 silver dollars can be used in the Ryukyus, but if it is put into Jiangnan, I am afraid that it will not even be able to float a splash! ”

Pei Lin's words were very polite, but they were definitely in line with the facts in front of them. When Dorgon's younger brother Duoduo went down to the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army casually copied 200,000 taels of silver from a medium-sized merchant's house, not counting the jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, antiques and the like. Not to mention Yangzhou and other places that are known for their wealth.

"If the lord wants to do the business, he will import two things to the south of the Yangtze River, one is copper coins, and the other is all kinds of goods."

The two were discussing the export of currency to Ryukyu, Japan, Gangnam, and other places when there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

"Shouhan!"

"Shouhan!"

His voice was full of anxiety and joy.

In the entire Nanzhong Army, there is only one person who dares to call Li Shouhan like this. Fauber.

In recent years, with the gradual growth of age, Fu Bo has become less in charge, and after the general's mansion was moved from Ha Tinh to Hue, Shouhan simply opened a courtyard for him in the palace and let him live for the rest of his life.

When the old man heard that Shouhan had returned from Ryukyu, he hurried from his own small world to meet the young master.

"Fauber!"

Shouhan also has a lot of affection for this old man, in the mansion, only he and Yan Mei'er, Xu Huanshan, Zuo Tianpeng and others have come all the way with him, from being threatened and calculated. Life has come all the way to the present.

For this old man. In his heart, he regards Fauber as a mixture of many roles such as father, brother, and housekeeper, but no matter what kind of identity, Fauber is the kind of person who can be trusted in his heart. Someone to be trusted. I always think of the days when I just arrived at the garrison mansion. Shouhan couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart.

Fauber looked Shouhan up and down. Seeing that Shouhan was a little tired, his mental temperament was very full, so he nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that the group of boys who went out with you took good care of you!"

After a few words of greeting, according to the rules of the Li family, all the people in charge of the family and the eldest son who returned from a long trip must pay homage in the ancestral shrine and tell the ancestors, don't worry about me, I have returned safely. Fu Bo came this time to urge Shou Hanmo to leave the matter of ancestor worship behind him because he was busy with official business.

"Good! Good! I'll let them decorate! ”

The group was talking and walked in the direction of the Li family's ancestral hall.

A small figure in the oblique stab hurriedly rushed towards Shouhan, "Daddy! ”

Erya, no, Li Huamei, like a cannonball, rushed into Li Shouhan's arms quickly, Shouhan deliberately made a painful appearance of being hit by a cannonball, bent down, and the muscles on his face twitched.

Hua Mei is already a big child who is almost on Shouhan's chest, with a double-bun head shape, bangs in front and eyebrows, hair with a shawl in the back, and a braid with a yellow and red ribbon in the middle. Around his neck he wore a gold collar with a piece of turquoise jade hanging from the collar.

He was dressed in green trousers, with a pair of ochre-red cowhide boots under his feet, and a short horsewhip in his hand. "Going horseback riding?" Shouhan looked at Hua Mei lovingly, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead for his baby daughter.

"Daddy! It's back! ”

Seeing her father, who she hadn't seen for many days, Hua Mei was overjoyed, and kept saying this and that to her father.

"Alas! There is no etiquette! Don't you meet Grandpa Fu and Uncle Fu? ”

Hua Mei playfully made a grimace, stuck out her tongue at Shouhan, turned around, and saluted respectfully towards Fu Bo and Li Peilin, "I've seen Grandpa Fu, I've seen Uncle!" ”

Seeing that the next generation of the General's Mansion also grew up, Fu Bo couldn't help but twist his hair complacently. At present, Li Muhua gave birth to a son in Shouhan, Mei Shan and Sister Shilin are said to have good news now, and Yan Mei'er is also several months pregnant and her body is quite heavy. Seeing that Ding Xing, a member of the General's Mansion, as an old man, of course he was relieved.

"The eldest lady is good, talented and intelligent, and she is a studious and motivated character, and she will go down and figure out what she wants to do with a little bit of teasing. Several gentlemen in the school wrote letters to compliment her. To put it tabooly, Hua Mei has the style of Princess Pingyang, the ancestor of my Li family. ”

What Pei Lin said is not just a bit taboo? It is simply a blatant provocation of the authority of the Ming court. That Princess Pingyang is the daughter of Li Yuan, Li Shimin's sister, married to Chai Shao, who is quite famous in novels and commentaries, this Mr. Chai Shao is not only able to teach the ability of beating drums and urns and golden hammers, but also ranks 14th among the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty. However, compared to his wife, it is still a little worse.

After Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, Princess Pingyang immediately sneaked back to several estates of the Li family in Huxian County, Shaanxi, scattered all her wealth, and recruited troops. He Panren, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and other armed forces were successively absorbed, and the troops were expanded to more than 70,000 people, and Zhan County (today's Hu County, Shaanxi), Wugong, Zhouzhi, and Shiping counties were controlled. When Li Yuan led the Tang army to attack Guanzhong, Princess Pingyang led more than 10,000 troops to attack Chang'an with her younger brother Li Shimin and husband Chai Shao, and the department was called the Women's Army.

Later, in order to ensure the safety of Shanxi's fundamental land, Princess Pingyang led tens of thousands of troops to guard the Jingcheng area and guard the gateway from Hebei to Shanxi, leaving a name for China's geography. After his death, he was buried with the military salute of the former rear feather bao, the big chariot, the command, the forty swords, and the tiger armor.

Pei Lin blatantly compared Shouhan's daughter to a cow like Princess Pingyang, and even Hua Mei, who was still young, could hear the implication.

"Uncle said that Hua Mei is the princess of Pingyang, so isn't Daddy Tang Gaozu?"

Looking at Hua Mei's beautiful goose egg face with a pair of big eyes as clear as water, Pei Lin said to him left and right, "Lord, if the eldest lady is a boy, Pei Lin will definitely teach what he has learned all his life, and assist the lord and the young master to at least achieve a hegemony, but how to make people, alas!" ”

"What's wrong with the girl? Uncle, a group of men in the school don't learn things as fast as me, and they don't learn as well as me! A few days ago, I was teaching spear stabbing in the school, and several male babies were picked off by me with wooden guns, and they cried in pain! Don't do it! ”

Hua Mei was a little unconvinced, pouting her red and glamorous little mouth and lying coquettishly to the uncle in front of her.

According to the agreement of the year, the children of Shouhan must call Pei Lin their uncle in the inner house.

Seeing Hua Mei refute herself, Pei Lin was not angry but happy, and even felt that her son was teachable. (To be continued......)
