On the 27th day of the lunar month, Yun Xi stayed in the Qianqing Palace for half a day, and when it was almost time to eat at noon, he was about to go to Kunning Palace to have dinner with Xi Yao, when the Zhongshu Sheren on duty Jian Yi hurriedly walked in, stopped Yun Xi and hurriedly saluted, then took out the fold and said: "Your Majesty, the excerpt from the Shanghai City Shipping Division." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yun Xi stretched out his hand to take the fold and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Because the businessmen in Shanghai City also stayed there to do business in order to make money for the New Year, Zhang Yanfang, the promotion of the City Ship Division, did not actually take a holiday, and the people below were also guaranteed to have about one-third of the people on duty. So it's not surprising that there are excerpts to come over and Yun Xi.

Jian Yi said: "The minister learned from the General Administration Department that it was related to the affairs of the feudal state. ”

In fact, after knowing that it was a matter related to the feudal kingdom, he didn't think it was very important. He just stayed in the harem in the afternoon for the past few days, and if he waited until Yun Xi arrived in the harem, it would be more troublesome to pass the excerpt in, and he couldn't see Yun Xi directly, so he hurried to the Qianqing Palace to send the excerpt.

And the Shanghai City Ship Division was only because Yun Xi stipulated that the matter related to the feudal kingdom should be sent to the capital immediately, so after knowing about this matter, he immediately wrote an excerpt and sent it to the capital, but in fact, the Shanghai City Ship Division didn't think it was very important.

Yun Xi opened the fold, found a place to sit down, and read slowly. But then he didn't sit for a few minutes before he stood up excitedly.

The content written on the excerpt is that the Three Buddhas asked for help from the Ming Dynasty.

It turned out that after Shi Jinqing went to sea again, because Majapahit had already known about his previous trip to Manjapahit to ask for help, he sent a ship to intercept it at sea. Shi Jinqing could not directly sail the boat to Daming, so he landed in Manraka, and then ran all the way to Songkhla (Siamese place name) by land, and then hired someone to come to Daming by boat. By the time he arrived at the Shanghai City, it was already the twenty-second day of the lunar month.

Then Shi Jinqing said that he was an envoy of the Three Buddhas, and asked to see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he asked to see him if he had something. The people in Shanghai City did not embarrass him, after all, the Three Buddhas were officially a vassal state that had paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and he had official documents, although he did not bring anything this time, not like he came to congratulate the Ming New Year, but it was still a good hospitality.

But since he didn't bring tribute, the people from the Shanghai City couldn't just put him in the capital, but found Chen Yanfang. After Chen Yanfang arrived, of course, he asked him what he was doing, and Shi Jinqing told Chen Yanfang about it.

However, Shi Jinqing did not say that the king of Sriwijaya at this time was Han. At this time, it was common for the vassal states of Nanyang to use Han people as tribute envoys, but if the country was Han and the king was the king, the consequences would be unpredictable, so Shi Jinqing did not say it all.

After Chen Yanfang knew what had happened, although he felt that this was not a trivial matter: the feudal kingdom asked the Ming to preside over justice, and of course the Ming Dynasty wanted to preside over it, not a trivial matter; But it's not a big deal, Chen Yanfang thinks that it is even more impossible to delay the New Year for this matter, and it must be dealt with after the New Year, so he sent someone to send Shi Jinqing to Beijing, and at the same time slowly wrote a note and sent it to the capital.

But what kind of person is Yunxi! Although he didn't know that the king of Srivijaya was Han at this time, it was also a perfect opportunity to meddle in the affairs of Nanyang. At this time, Daming's navigation technology may not be the best in the world, but the ship must be the largest in the world, so there is no need to worry about not being able to interfere. As long as Yun Hee is determined, he can interfere.

Yun Xi is planning to send a ship to Nanyang to take a turn after the year to test the sea situation, and also to investigate what the specific situation of Nanyang is now. Only when you know the specific situation can you prescribe the right medicine.

Now I don't have to find an excuse, I just sent it up.

Yun Xi opened his mouth and said: "This messenger of the Three Buddhas, named Shi Jinqing, doesn't know when he will arrive in the capital; There is also this Majapahit is said to be a fairly powerful country in Nanyang, and the envoys of Siam and Champa all said that they were strong countries, and they don't know if they are good or not. ”

Yun Xi was actually talking to himself, but Jian Yi stood aside, and after hearing Yun Xi's words, he replied: "Your Majesty, Shi Jinqing, the envoy of the Three Buddhas, will be able to go to the capital tomorrow, and the Ministry of Rites has already known about this matter, and intends to let this person pay tribute on behalf of the Three Buddhas, which also shows that Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne and all countries will come to the court." ”

"The ministers of the Majapahit also know some, and they don't know when the ministers were established, but in the twenty-ninth year of the former Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shizu sent the generals Shi Bi, Yihei Lost and others to attack the island of Java where they were located, and then they were repulsed."

"In the third year of Hongwu, the king of the Boyi Kingdom, Sili Badala sent tribute envoys to pay tribute, and in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, he sent envoys to pay tribute. However, there has been no tribute since then. ”

The minister also knew from the contents of the writings of the ministers who had gone to Nanyang that his country was not small and was the most powerful country in Nanyang; He also knew that the people of his country were aggressive, and hated others touching the child's head, and if the child's father saw it, he would definitely chase and kill him with a knife. ”

Yun Xi said with some surprise: "Do you still know these things on weekdays?" ”

Jian Yi replied: "The affairs of the vassal kingdom are mostly difficult to see in the Central Plains, and the ministers sometimes take a look to broaden their horizons. ”

In fact, the people of the Zhongshu House saw that Yunxi attached more importance to the Nanyang vassal state, and they had come to the Ministry of Rites to send books in this area to the palace after entering the lunar month, so they also read more books in this area in order to vote for Yunxi.

Yun Xi thought about it for a while, and also knew what was going on, and he couldn't hide the fact that he had read a lot of books in this area this month. However, Yun Xi still thinks that Jian Yi is very good, at least he can remember everything.

Thinking like this, Yun Xi thought about testing and asked, "Then according to you, how should you deal with this matter?" ”

Jian Yi took his posture to the most upright, knowing that his opportunity had come, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Majapahit and the Three Buddhas are both my Ming vassal states, although the country is large and small, but the status is similar. Now that the Majapahit attacked the Three Buddhas without authorization, did he put my Ming in his eyes? When sending envoys to Xiaoyu's country, they must not raise swords and soldiers without permission. If you don't listen, you have to show thunderous means to restore order in the South Seas. ”

Yun Xi thinks it's okay, but he's still not particularly satisfied. However, it is already rare for Jian Yi, who considers the problem from the traditional perspective of maintaining the status of the Celestial Empire, and understands that it is mostly useless to send envoys, and it is still necessary to send troops.

But that's not what Yoon-hee was thinking. After hearing that Majapahit had repelled Meng Yuan's army, he felt that this country was more powerful, and it was better to be cautious. But he still didn't believe that this country could beat the Ming sailors, as long as he didn't attack its own territory.

The status of the Celestial Empire must be useful, and before the arrival of Westerners, so many Han Chinese who ran to Nanyang had never seen targeted slaughter in that country. But Yun Xi still doesn't care much about this reputation.

What he cares about is whether he can see the stitches and insert the needle, so he will seal a king to Nanyang. He didn't know that the king of Sriwijaya was Han, so he didn't have a specific plan yet, but he always had to think about it in advance.

Yun Xi, who was quite satisfied with Jian Yi, said: "Jian Qing is right, this matter must be managed." However, today is already the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and there are two days left before Chinese New Year's Eve, so let's talk about it after the year. ”

Although Yun Xi attaches great importance to this matter, it is impossible for the people who let the sailor go to Nanyang during the New Year, and he has to wait until the second day of February, so it is too late to discuss this matter in the first month.

Jian Yi also knew, and said a few words to Yun Xi and bowed and retreated. But he has decided to come to the palace on duty on the second day of the first lunar month, so as not to delay things and not delay his promotion and fortune.

Yun Xi also stood up and walked towards the harem. But although he walked towards the harem, he was still thinking about this matter: although the sailors of the Ming Dynasty were strong, they had hardly been to the further south of Hainan Island, and the old men left by Meng Yuan were also difficult to travel with the ship.

===========================================================

On the evening of the 28th of the lunar month, the Shanghai City is also lively. Although many businessmen stayed in the local area in order to make money, they also had to live the New Year, and they spent a lot of money to buy good things to entertain their fellows these days.

In the raw silk business alliance decided in July this year, Xiao Zhuo from Jiaxing also stayed there. Wang Rende's family has someone who is an official, and it is not good to stay in Nanbei City all the time, so he has to keep someone to guard it. When Xiao Zhuo was wandering the rivers and lakes, he was often away from home during the Chinese New Year, so he took the initiative to stay behind.

At this time, Xiao Zhuo looked at the fact that the market was about to close, asked the guys to take out all the good wine and vegetables they bought, and said to the guys: "From tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve until the fifteenth day of the first month, the city will not open the market." ”

"I also know that such a sixteen-day rest, the family lives relatively close, for example, most of the local people in Songjiang Mansion will go home tomorrow for the New Year, so today while everyone is here, we will entertain everyone well, and it will also be regarded as a reward for the busy work of the big guys for a year!"

As he spoke, he dried the wine in the bowl first. The guys down there immediately followed.

Xiao Zhuo drank three bowls in a row, and then asked his closest people to move out a large box. When the chest was opened, it was a lot of gold and silver.

Xiao Zhuo pointed to the box and said, "You have all worked hard for a year, whether you are here or not. Ten taels of silver per person, or two taels of gold if you are willing to do it, as a reward for your hard work for a year. "At this time, money is still very valuable, ten taels of silver is already a lot.

The following group was sensational, especially the people who followed Wang Rende or the Zhao family in Huzhou and the Li family in Suzhou before, everyone felt that the rewards were too much, and the ordinary guys had received at most five taels of silver during the New Year, but this time it was doubled. Of course, there are some people who think this is too reckless, they are serious businessmen, okay?
