Chapter 821: Do You Believe It or Not?

It seems a little bit bad to pit her daughter-in-law's maiden family so boldly, right?

If you change to a conscience, you will probably be entangled, and the conscience of Emperor Chongzhen, that is the real dog does not eat.

The pit is it! If you don't let the slaves go, your conscience will hurt!

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen still spoke: "On the side of Princess Liao, let King Liao say it himself, and see what Princess Liao means." If necessary, to save the lives of Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu, they are still useful. ”

When he received the news, Xingzi was urging his son to study, and after listening to the information Zhu Cixiao said, Xingzi couldn't help laughing and said: "Why does the prince care so much about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom? ”

In fact, Xingzi has no interest in the affairs of the Wa Kingdom at all - he is the prince and concubine of the Ming Dynasty, and his son is the next Liao king, the Wa Kingdom? Let them toss!

Zhu Cixiao said: "This king naturally doesn't care, after all, your father and your uncle occupy the name of righteousness, and it is also their business to want to get rid of those disobedient names."

It's just that this information was sent by my father, and I guess I still take care of you, the concubine of the Liao Wang, and I don't want to embarrass you. ”

Xingzi nodded and said: "I am now the concubine of the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty, and I still understand the principle of marrying a beggar and begging."

Since I am no longer the princess of the Wa Kingdom, except for the affairs of our palace, I naturally will not ask more about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to conquer the Wa Kingdom, the concubine could draw some maps of the Wa Kingdom of Kyoto, and if necessary, she could also send her cronies back to the Wa Kingdom to be spies and internal responses. ”

Zhu Cixiao shook his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty is now spreading too big, and some engineering construction things are constantly being carried out in various places, so there is no idea of conquering the Japanese State at all.

From the perspective of the Liao Palace, the current fiefdom is already large enough, and there is no need to occupy one more Wa State. ”

Pointing to Xingzi's stomach, Zhu Cixiao continued: "Even if you have a few more sons, it will only give them some more fiefdoms in Penglai Continent." ”

Xingzi nodded and said, "Then you have to work hard, there are too few children in the palace now." By the way, how many more concubines will I give you? ”

Zhu Cixiao still shook his head: "It's enough to have a few of you, and more is not beautiful, so be it."

Since you don't care about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom anymore, then I will reply directly to my father, and we will not care about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom in the future. ”

Xingzi suddenly became anxious: "That's not possible!" ”

Zhu Cixiao said curiously: "Why not?" ”

"The Wa Kingdom is free to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but it will have to be assigned to the Liao Wangfu in the future!" Xingzi's face was slightly ruddy: "The concubine body is already there again, but I haven't had time to tell you yet."

No matter how much is there in the Wa Kingdom, it is much closer to our Liaowang Mansion than Penglai, even if we miss our children in the future, we can go over and see it at any time.

If the child is divided into Penglai, it will take several months to go back and forth, and the sea is stormy and rough, wouldn't it be extremely troublesome? ”

Zhu Cixiao, who almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, couldn't help but rub Xingzi's head, and said with a smile: "Where the child will be divided, this matter depends on the opinions of the father and the Zongren Mansion, what we said may not be useful, especially if the Ming Dynasty does not plan to conquer the Wa Kingdom, it is still your father who has the final say." ”

Xingzi suddenly said angrily: "Then let the Wa Kingdom cut a piece of land again, and if you don't cut it, you will send troops to fight him to cut the land!" Anyway, now the king of the Wa Kingdom is not my father, it's the guy from Suegong Shaoren! ”

Zhu Cixiao sat next to Xingzi, hugged Xingzi's body, and said with a smile: "It's okay, why bother to be like a child?" Anyway, you know, it's still your father who has the final say in the Wa Kingdom. ”

"Who in my mind has the final say? Delaying our children's fiefdoms just won't work! What are those goddamn slaves doing in such a big place? If you want me to say, my father should send troops to conquer the Wa Kingdom, and then give the Wa Kingdom to the Liao Palace! ”

Regarding Xingzi's name for the Wa Kingdom, and the idea of letting the Wa Kingdom die now, Zhu Cixiao has long been surprised.

In fact, including his uncle, as well as his grandfather, who was too old to walk, was very dissatisfied with the fact that they were born in the Xibe tribe.

The Xibe bigwigs, who have been the envy of countless people, have this kind of thought, and it is not surprising that the former Japanese king Nu Xingzi would have this kind of thought.

……

Shen Hao, the governor of Kyushu Island, was already waiting for Li Chengyan's unlucky child at the port of Jiuzu Island - since this kid showed the talent of the Zongheng family, he was either sent out to stir up the storm or stayed in the capital university to teach.

There are not many students who choose the subjects of the Zonghengjia family, and many students who chose the subjects of the Zonghengjia at the beginning have later defected to other subjects.

The reason is simple, the subjects of Zonghengjia are really disgusting, in addition to the normal subjects, there are a large number of subjects that overlap with the general translation department, such as French language, Japanese language, and even a lot Chinese of European history......

It is because there are too many these messy subjects that the discipline of Zonghengjia is not particularly popular in Jingcheng University.

The huge friendless fortune ship began to slowly approach the port, pointing to the port wharf not far away, Li Chengyan said, "Have you seen it all?" That's the island of Kyushu, and I'm on lease from the Wa Kingdom.

Now there are nearly 200,000 people of the Ming Dynasty on Kyushu Island, and there are about 100 ships coming and going here every day.

In the past year alone, Kyushu Island has paid about 30 million taels of commercial taxes, and you two both know what this concept is, right? ”

Li Chengyan did not ask the question of the loan period, and his two students did not ask about it.

Di Mu nodded, but said with some doubts: "Teacher, Kyushu Island is isolated overseas, if you say that the geographical location is naturally first-class, but there are Denglai and Quanzhou to the south, and Guangzhou and Macao to the south, the location of Kyushu Island does not seem to have much advantage in comparison?" ”

Li Chengyan smiled and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the small country of the Japanese country is a small country and a widow, and the Iwami Silver Mountain in the country has been exhausted, so you think they can't support such a high trade volume?" ”

Seeing that Di Mu and the other student nodded, Li Chengyan smiled and said, "Of the 30 million taels of commercial tax, nearly 25 million taels are luxury taxes, and the normal commercial tax is not much.

These materials are available at the household department, and a large part of them are open to students of Jingjing University, so if you are interested, you can also check them out.

His Majesty has repeatedly emphasized that it is shallow on paper, and he never knows that this matter must be done. I've told you a lot of things, and you may forget it, but the data you've looked up for yourself will be more reliant. ”

Pastor Di and his brothers bowed down to express their acceptance, and Li Chengyan continued: "If you have time, you can go to the School of Social and Economic Sciences to listen to the lectures.

I remember that they had a very novel theory, which I heard came from His Majesty, which said that 80 percent of the profits were often created by 20 percent of the people, and that the money of the elderly, women and children, and the poor was also the best to earn.

Besides, the Japanese country is now poor, but the poor are ordinary people, and those big names are not poor, and these people spend money on arms, longevity ointment, and luxury goods, and they are even more generous. ”

Mo Yanbai said: "Teacher, what kind of poor law are their people? If the people are really poor, how can they make money from them? ”

Li Chengyan said: "Tobacco, wine, Fushou ointment, clothes, shoes and hats, can't all of these earn silver?" A small amount adds up, one person earns two pennies, a thousand people can earn two taels of silver, what about ten thousand people? What about a hundred thousand million?

No matter how small the country is, there are still millions of people, how many materials do these people need to consume every day? When you arrive on Kyushu Island, you might as well take a good look and see what is going on.

If you want to go to the people of the Japanese people, it is better to bring your family register with you, or to take the instructions issued to you by the Governor's Palace, these two things will ensure your safety at a critical time.

Of course, don't be too desperate to toss, in case someone beats someone when the night is dark and the wind is high, even if you find the murderer, you will die, there is no point. ”

After thinking about it, Li Chengyan said again: "That's it, go back to Governor Shen for the division to ask for some guards for the two of you, and let the people from the Governor's Mansion follow you, there will be no problem if you think about it." ”

While the three of them were talking, the fortune boat had slowly docked to the shore, and Shen Hao also greeted him first.

gave Shen Hao a fierce bear hug, Li Chengyan said: "Your guy's affair is still being passed on in the entire Ming Dynasty!" Why, you really don't plan to enter the cabinet? ”

Shen Hao smiled: "Isn't it good now?" Protecting the people on Kyushu Island, why should you participate in the court? ”

Li Chengyan said: "You can pull it down, others don't know you, can I still not know?" You just look at the Japanese country to stay more comfortable, happy here, don't think about returning home. ”

Shaking his head, Shen Hao smiled and said: "Whatever you say, anyway, your Zongheng family has always been able to speak well, and ordinary people can't compare." ”

Led Li Chengyan to board the carriage of the Governor's Palace, Shen Hao spoke: "What does the Ming plan to do with the Wa Kingdom?" There was no wind beforehand, but suddenly you came. Are you still planning to watch a play? ”

Li Chengyan nodded and said, "Naturally, it's a play." There are a lot of things that Daming has to take into account now, especially the big mess in Europe, you should have heard of it, and there is not much energy to focus on the Japanese country anymore. ”

Shen Hao couldn't help frowning: "If the time for Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu to pacify the Wa Kingdom is too fast, and the process is too smooth, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for my Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Li Chengyan said: "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty means to support Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu now, let them pacify the Wa Kingdom as quickly as possible, as long as the Ming can get enough benefits in the process, what does it make if it is faster and slower?" ”

"So you're here, aren't you?" After sighing, Shen Hao continued: "Now the envoys or lords of the foreign domains, it is estimated that none of them are willing to see you, you always bring arms. ”

Li Chengyan didn't care about Shen Hao's ridicule at all, but said with a blushing face: "Yes, I brought arms to Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu, so that they can pacify the Japanese kingdom faster."

Of course, the price they have to pay to get this batch of arms, or how much arms they can get, depends on how well they perform. ”

took a sip of tea, and Shen Hao's tone became a little weird: "What are you going to do this time?" ”

Li Chengyan said with a smile: "It's still the old routine, use the European barbarian set on the Japanese slaves." ”

Shen Hao said: "Are you sure?" Don't forget, the thinking of the Japanese slaves is very close to our Ming Dynasty, and it is not the same thing as those barbarians in Europe, right? ”

Smiling disdainfully, Li Chengyan pointed to the outside of the carriage: "How can the same?" How can it be different?

Lao Shen, you have been in the Wa Kingdom for a long time, and you also know the current situation of the Wa Kingdom, those daimyo don't take the Wa royal family seriously at all, and even treat the shogunate only on the surface.

When you are accustomed to the earth overlords, and now the Wa royal family and the shogunate want to knock them from the clouds into the mud, do you think these daimyo of the Wa Kingdom are willing?

If you are willing, you will lose everything you have now, and the best outcome is nothing more than being sent to Kyoto to support the elderly.

If they don't want to, do they have any other choice but to fight against the shogunate?

Don't forget, the Japanese people are very gambling in their bones, and they don't think that they will definitely lose, but will think about whether they have a chance to take the shogunate and replace it. ”

Shen Hao nodded and said: "That's right, these slaves are all tactical masters, strategic dwarfs, and their eyes can only see the immediate moment, but not the longer term." ”

Spreading his hands, Li Chengyan said: "So, as long as the operation is good, it is impossible for them not to mess up even if they want to, and what will affect my Daming's interests?" Do they have the audacity to attack Kyushu? ”

Shen Hao sneered, "Attack Kyushu Island? What do you eat in the guard here? The North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet are not far from Kyushu Island, and at most it will be a two-day voyage at most, so can't Kyushu Island survive even two days? ”

Li Chengyan said mysteriously: "By the way, speaking of this two-day voyage, there is one thing that you will be interested in." ”

Shen Hao said disapprerovantly: "What's the matter?" If it weren't for the fact that the voyage could be shortened to one day, or if there was some particularly big benefit to Kyushu, it wouldn't be interesting. ”

Li Chengyan said: "It's really shortened to one day, do you believe it or not?" ”
