Chapter 349 and Pedicles
Speaking of the courage of the Emperor of the Kingdom, it is really not something that the future Empress can bear alone......
Of course, such trifles are not worth mentioning.
After all, our Ming Dynasty was originally strict monogamy, concubines or anything are not considered wives, and Princess Kunxing's requirements are not only for personal gain, she also means for the public. If she is the empress, then what kind of identity should Yang Qing be? Sister Mei Niang is a widow and doesn't need to think about this kind of problem, but she has to face this, of course she can't also raise the first three thousand, but if Yang Qing always keeps pulling women to the family one by one, how can she, the empress, have the face?
He had to be put on a halter.
At least he can't be allowed to continue to openly and constantly accept women, even if those things were in the past, they can't be changed anyway, but they must be restrained in the future......
As for stealing, it doesn't count.
This kind of thing even Princess Kunxing has consciousness.
I didn't hear Yang Qing say, the mother of the British queen is on the throne like this, it can be seen that European monogamy is actually not so pure, and it can fascinate the king to abandon the original match, Princess Kunxing doesn't believe that they haven't stolen it before, and the princess is no longer a fifteen-year-old girl!
What does she not understand?
Even Yang Qing and her aunt know about it!
Anyway, no matter how bold Yang Qing is, it is impossible to take her aunt in, and her aunt is infertile, so she is not afraid of a scandal between the two.
Steal it!
Anyway, they solved the problem in their own way in bed.
But her succession was just a plan.
Yang Qing didn't give her xi brain to ask her to be the emperor directly, this was a plan that was implemented when Zhu Cihong was disobedient, Yang Qing just solved her psychological burden, and used this to keep giving her xi brain so that she wouldn't do it when the time came. But it is impossible to put her on the throne now, so the next welcome must continue, Zhu Cihong must be welcomed back, and then wait for Zhu Cihong to make a move, and then depose him with the example of the Four People's Congress following the example of the British Parliament. But to depose him, you have to let his brothers succeed to the throne, so do the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang still want to be slaughtered by Li Zicheng once? Li Zicheng let Zhu Cihong go but didn't let go of the rest of the brothers, but he had this idea, he just wanted to see Zhu Cihong be abolished by Yang Qing and then set up another one to continue blackmailing, if the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had the courage to pay another fifteen million, then Yang Qing would not mind welcoming it again.
As long as the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can dig it again, why should he play it again?
Of course, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were not so generous.
This fifteen million is so much that the miasma almost didn't come up, and another fifteen million? Lao Tzu is wronged? I don't want to be slaughtered, Yang Qing and his family can't accept the succession of the side lineage, this is a must, Xinguo Gong's loyalty to the first emperor can be revealed, the children of the first emperor are still there, who wants to rob their country Xinguo Gong first did not agree.
And it is estimated that no sect dares to join in this fun, they are not stupid, they dare Yang Qing is really going to die, no one will do the stupid thing of committing suicide, and finally it will be deadlocked again.
Then, just like the princess who was in charge of the country, it became the best choice for her to ascend the throne.
This is the only option.
As for her being a princess......
So do you want to shell out another fifteen million?
You don't want to pay for the money, as long as we are the descendants of the first emperor, who else is more suitable besides her? As for the empress or something, is it more important than fifteen million? Saying that, the empress is definitely not as important as fifteen million, and in order not to continue to pay for it, the gentry will pinch their noses to find a theoretical basis for the empress.
That's when she ascended the throne again.
At the same time, it also established a system in which the Four People's Assembly had the right to depose the emperor, and even if Yang Qing's descendants had no Taoist monarchs in the future, the Four People's Assembly could also depose them according to this example.
Even don't even want the emperor directly.
The most he can do is to leave a country for future generations, but if his children and grandchildren are really rotten to the point where the people can't bear it anymore, then throw away this country, can it be that he really wants to seek a family for all generations?
That's pure!
Empires will always perish, without exception!
But it's better to have a hypocrite, this kind of thing is better than nothing, unless Yang Qing can solve all internal problems in the future, the people's wisdom is civilized to a sufficient extent, the sense of national identity is strong enough, and the interests are inseparable enough, otherwise a hypocrite is more or less useful. But if the above is really achieved, it doesn't matter if a hypocrite is kept, just a mascot, as long as this mascot is not disgusting, it is also entertainment to keep it, and the value that the British royal family creates for Britain every year far exceeds the ones they spend.
In other words, just looking at the tourism industry of their family's acting, it accounts for a large part of the fart of British chickens.
That's what the mascot does.
In short, for the rest of the four years of Longxing, the Ming Dynasty spent time in normal, and by the autumn of this year, the sale of 10 million treasury bonds was finally completed, and the gold and silver purchased from various places continued to converge to Nanjing through the water and land routes. The gold and silver, together with the donations raised by the Jinyi Health and Education Department, were all minted into dragon dollars at the mint under the Ministry of Households, and then reloaded into special wooden boxes and piled up in special warehouses. By the time the first snow of winter fell on Nanjing, a total of 11 million dragon yuan silver coins and 400,000 gold coins were all completed, but because of the inconvenience of winter transportation, Longxing Tianzi specially ordered to wait for the spring of next year to be transported, as for he will also spend the last winter in Chang'an, and then set off after the wheat harvest next year.
After all, in order to move for him, you can't make chickens and dogs jump everywhere, so that the important wheat harvest is delayed.
In short, the holy driving capital is still Nanjing, and it is finally clear.
However, the common people don't care about this, after all, they have no impression of this emperor, and the people of the Ming Dynasty only know the girl printed on their coins, as well as the legendary god Xinguo Gong who descended to earth and brought them a new life.
The emperor or something is very ethereal to them.
Even in many places, the common people still think that this girl on the coin is the emperor! They didn't bother to care about the difference between the prison country and the emperor, they only knew that this girl represented wealth! And wealth is everything they pursue, in other words, this girl represents everything, this girl represents food and clothing! As for what the emperor is? Can you eat or can you wear it? They can't eat or wear, so what does that have to do with them? Is this world the emperor's? The government has already issued a notice, this world belongs to the common people! The emperor is the Son of Heaven? The government has already issued a notice that the emperor is not the Son of Heaven, and the emperor is a mortal like us! I have to say that the influence of the previous decree was too bad! Let those officials and gentry have nothing to say in the face of the rebuttal of the common people.
The road is blocked by itself!
It was only then that they understood the depth and insidiousness of Yang Qing's thoughts.
And it was in this winter that Tokugawa Iemitsu also made a choice, and in the face of the financial crisis caused by the occupation of Sado Island by the Ming army and the blockade of Iwami Ginzan, he chose ......
He chose to give in.
After all, he has no other tricks, he can't recover Sado Island without a navy, and the warships of the salt and water army that still have to rely on broadside battles to fight can't open the Guanmen Strait at all, and just a few Ming army cruisers can teach them to be people. Iwami Ginzan, on the other hand, was able to barely transport grain by land to maintain a minimum of production there, but it was impossible to maintain its finances, especially when all kinds of coins were lost in varying degrees.
Those big names don't care if he lives or dies.
Tsushima Domain, Satsuma Domain, the newly joined Choshu Domain, and even the Fukuoka Domain, a bunch of people on Kyushu Island who played smuggling and had fun.
The same goes for the Dutch.
The port of Nagasaki set an annual trade quota and set a limit on the amount of coins that could flow out each year, but the Dutch continued to drain their coins by transporting all sorts of goods to the Wa Kingdom one by one, partnering with smugglers, and selling them secretly throughout the Wa Kingdom, including Edo.
More and more places are starting to trade in kind.
Chaos is everywhere.
He needed these two mines to replenish his blood.
"Your Excellency Duke, we can accept your request, but the first indemnity is up to 100,000, we really don't have that many gold coins, and we can pay the rest in installments over thirty years. As compensation for you, we can add Hakodate as a treaty port to help your country's whaling ships, who can dock at Hakodate for resupply. ”
Tadaaki Abe said.
"Enlightened? Know this is a good thing for you? ”
Yang Qing said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Excellency Duke, I used to be contemptible and ignorant, but after I went back, I immediately figured it out, and this is indeed a good thing for us!"
Tadaaki Abe said.
"Okay, I'd better talk!"
Yang Qing said briskly.
Anyway, this money is indispensable, he doesn't care much about the first one, and the Wa country has been seriously drawn blood over the years, and the number of coins has been decreasing, which can be seen from the number of export Wa countries such as cane sugar, which has actually begun to decrease, that is to say, this leek field has been cut a little hard in recent years. This kind of thing cannot be exhausted, and it is impossible to increase the volume of European exports quickly under the constraints of transportation capacity, so the Japanese country is an important dumping ground, after all, it is close to the population and larger. Although the economic crisis is too exaggerated, it will at least have an impact, and making money is not the most important thing for the overall decision-makers of industry and commerce, but sustainable and stable development is the most important.
The market sometimes needs support.
Cutting leeks too hard has caused a decline in consumption to hit businessmen even more than consumers.
Let's let the Japanese people pan for gold for a few years!
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency, we have also prepared some separate gifts for you, I hope you will be able to smile!"
Abe Tadaaki said with his head down.
"Well, it can't be a woman! Don't send me a woman, you also know that my fiancée is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Prison Country, she will be angry, if it is a woman, I suggest you send it to several other members of our cabinet! ”
Yang Qing hurriedly said.
can't commit crimes against the wind, of course, the main thing is that he also knows what Tokugawa Iemitsu will send, and when the time comes, don't be scared out of heart disease by his white miserable face and black teeth. As for them using this to scare Shi Kefa's people, it's none of Yang Qing's business, I hope it won't scare them out of heart disease.
"That's a shame!"
Abe Tadaaki said with a regretful face.
Obviously, they really have prepared beautiful women to honor the prince of the country.
It's a pity that the faith of the country is not blessed.
This was the end of the skirmish war, and the main Ming army was to evacuate Sado Island, but to monitor their fulfillment of their promises, a special garrison was to be stationed at the half-built fortress, which would continue to be built until it was completed. In the future, this garrison will be stationed until the two million are fully paid, including the Ming fleet, which can also use this base, in fact, the Ming and Japanese will jointly manage Sado Island until thirty years later.
In addition to the cession of Oki Island, the supply chain from Busan to Hokkaido was officially established, and Oki-kun was made a count and guarded the Oki Islands for generations in accordance with the regulations of the Guizhou Kingdom.
In this way, the Ming army actually had the ability to march into Heilongjiang.
Of course, Yang Qing was not interested for the time being.
If you want to enter the Heilongjiang River, you must at least build steam-powered inland river boats, otherwise it is unimaginable to sail the thousands of miles of inland river counterflow from the mouth of the Heilongjiang River to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is not that the Yangtze River is full of supplies on both sides. But it was perfectly fine to go north to Sakhalin, or further north, and then establish seasonal colonies along the coast for whaling and fur hunting, especially since the Ming Dynasty was in growing demand for leather, after all, he was not even an officer with leather boots and could only wear canvas. In the south, this problem is fine, but if you want to march to the northeast, you must first solve the cold protection, and then the northern army will wear a bear skin, a wolf skin hat, and a moose skin glove and bear skin boots......
It's a bit too extravagant.
But for the brown bears and moose wolves that are rampant in Kamchatka, Lingbei, this does not seem to be an exaggeration.
Of course, the main thing is whaling.
In other words, the whaling industry is now about to become a pillar industry, and I have to say that those who say that the people of Daming do not have a pioneering spirit are pure nonsense, that is because there is not enough profit, and it is also crazy to have enough profit. One of the furthest whaling ships this summer returned from the Aleutian Islands, and they picked up a huge piece of ambergris on the beach and pulled out an unsoaked piece from the belly of a sperm whale.
The former was sold directly in Zhoushan at a sky-high price of 50,000 yuan.
The latter was kept as a family heirloom by the shipowner.
Their legend has been frantically exaggerated in the newspapers, attracting more and more businessmen to set their sights on the vast Pacific Ocean in the far east.
"Wealth is moving!"
Yang Qing lit a small piece of ambergris and said with emotion.
Then he turned his head to look at the bed, and in the light of the whale brain oil candle, Princess Kunxing and Yuanyuan, who were sharing the bed for the first time, were poking their heads in the quilt like a pedicle flower, looking at him expectantly with shy eyes......
"Princess, isn't that okay?"
Xin Guogong said with a serious face.
Princess Kunxing blushed and shrank into the quilt.
"Who made it so difficult for you, I don't want to be the same as before, so I have to ask Yuanyuan to come and help!"
She said as she hid under the covers.
"Okay, then I can only reluctantly make it difficult!"
Yang Qing sighed and said.
"Where is all this nonsense!"
Yuanyuan reached out speechlessly, grabbed his clothes and dragged him over......
