Chapter 501: Crossing the West

The warmth in the Nuanfang Pavilion was as warm as spring, and Hou Xuanyan was half-lying on the dragon chair, beating his knees.

The elixir stood aside in a surprisingly orderly manner, and it didn't stick to him, it turned out that Ma Shiying was also there.

Wearing a moon-white oblique silk jacket, with a string of pearl necklaces hanging from her white and slender neck, it looks clean and refreshing, bright and moving.

Ma Shiying said excitedly: "Your Majesty was the king of Yue in the past, and if you want me to say that this country is called Da Yue." ”

The elixir frowned, bit his lip and said: "Jingnan Province that we just established, the original small imperial court was called Da Yue, isn't it self-surrendering. ”

Hou Xuanyan thought so, "The more certain it is, the more it will not work, there are three emperors and five emperors, Yuding Kyushu, and the word Huaxia will be passed down." Xia is the first dynasty to open the world, everything has a beginning and an end, how about ending with Chinese characters? ”

Ma Shiying was silent, and the elixir also lowered his head and pondered, Hou Xuanyan saw Ma Shiying bowing his head and pondering, and quietly approached the little foot that touched the elixir with his foot.

Elixir's face turned red suddenly, and he quietly took half a step back, quietly retracting his little feet under his skirt. The delicate smile is not smiling, the shell teeth bite the red lips, the watery eyes are full of spring, and the girl's immature face is extremely attractive, which makes Hou Xuanyan's heart flutter.

"Good! All right! Ma Shiying applauded, and the two people with ghosts nodded hurriedly.

Ma Shiying continued: "Your Majesty's idea is extremely wise, starting with Xia and ending with Hua, our Dahua Empire will definitely be able to last for generations to come." ”

Hou Xuanyan laughed dryly, got up and walked to the window, pushed open the window, and the shade outside the window was heavy, and a little cold wind blew to make people feel refreshed.

"It's so decided, so as not to make those officials of the Ministry of Rites noisy all day long, Gu Yanwu's voice has sounded in my ears as soon as I sleep these days, which is very annoying."

Ma Shiying hurriedly retired and went to the Ministry of Rites to negotiate a new country name, Gu Yanwu has always been at odds with him, this time he was ordered by the emperor to go and hammer the last hammer, which should disgust him. Hou Xuanyan has been on the throne for so long, and he has made achievements in both culture and martial arts, and the vast majority of the people in the government and the opposition and the people have already recognized this emperor, and it is time to change the country name and the year number. Of course, it is okay to continue to enshrine the emperor tablet of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Ma Shiying left the palace with his front feet, a fragrant and delicate body threw himself into Hou Xuanyan's arms, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is teasing people in front of other people's fathers, and the medicine is not followed." ”

Hou Xuanyan smiled cruelly: "You little hoof teased your master just now, you should be punished." ”

The elixir's big eyes flickered, and his face immediately changed to a timid expression, and he pinched his little hand and retreated to the corner of the wall to gasp, and he didn't know when it was staggered, revealing a piece of white greasy. The frightened and flattering look made Hou Xuanyan know whether she was pretending to be or unconsciously substituting for it.

"You... You.. What are you going to do, my dad just left,... My dad is amazing. ”

"Te Duo Tricks, see how I clean you up!"

"Don't, come on, hee-hee.. Hey.. Well.. Yes.. Hmm~"

......

The New Year is approaching, and dozens of kings of Fanbang have come to Jinling under the transportation of naval warships.

Jinling City has welcomed so many royal families, all of whom have great spending power, and the goods in Jinling's large and small shops are also attractive enough to these Fanbang royal families.

On both sides of the Qinhuai River for ten miles, all kinds of gouache and rouge shops are lined up, as well as the precious silk brocade shops in the garment workshop, and a random piece is enough for ordinary people's expenses for more than ten years. This is a real gold cave, not to mention the popular girl on the ship, and the appearance fee is tens of thousands of taels at every turn.

The so-called three hundred and sixty lines, the champion of the line, the dusty woman who rolls in the green building, if she mixes with the name of the head of the Oiran line, it will be terrible.

Their appearance fees are tens of thousands, which is also something that can't be helped, whenever there is an era when the economy takes off and the rich come out in large numbers, there will always be many famous actors. Qin Huai Bayan, who was once famous, has now gradually faded out of people's field of vision, and has been replaced by a younger girl.

Walking in Jinling City in the afternoon, Hou Xuanyan only felt that his body was light and fluttering, and his body and mind were very happy. The girls in the garment shop are so good at embroidering that they can't even compare to the Ouchi Weaving Supervisor, not to mention the various delicacies along the street, which are pure natural and pollution-free, and absolutely free of pesticide residues and chemical additives, which Hou Xuanyan can guarantee.

The elixir on the side followed closely behind him, and it was not very convenient to walk, but fortunately, he was wearing a scholar's costume, and the two trembling legs would not be too obvious. Only those who are familiar with it will find that the pearl necklace around the elixir's neck is missing, and eighty percent is directly related to the way she walks.

Hou Xuanyan took her to visit a lot of shops, and then stopped in a teahouse, and the surrounding guards quietly blended in with the crowd, patrolling back and forth.

The elixir was like an amnesty, and white sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, Hou Xuanyan laughed narrowly, and just wanted to laugh a few words, he heard someone talking next to him.

This brother's voice was so loud that the whole teahouse could hear it, and the elixir was worried that Hou Xuanyan would be angry, so he just wanted to wave his hand to signal the guards to come forward, but Hou Xuanyan held down his little hand.

"There are yellow-haired and blue-eyed people everywhere in the West, as well as big girls and little daughters-in-law, who are dressed like a dew!" It was a middle-aged man who spoke, his skin was a very healthy bronz, he slapped his thigh in excitement, spit excitedly, and the elixir frowned, and turned his head away to stop looking.

Hou Xuanyan listened to it with relish, his fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, and he continued to listen to him show off with his voice.

From his words, Hou Xuanyan came to a conclusion that this person had just returned from Europe by boat, and he was on a merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty, and these merchants also made a ruthless fortune.

Hearing the end, Hou Xuanyan stretched out his hand to call Qin He and whispered a few words. After a while, the man who spoke came to the private room separated by the curtain with a nervous face, and the elixir slowly withdrew and closed the door.

The big man knelt on the ground: "The grass people visit my emperor, long live long live long live." ”

Hou Xuanyan smiled: "Flatten, what's your name?" ”

Dahan got up, his nervous heart rose to his throat, and he reluctantly said, "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people's name is Glenn." ”

"Hehe, you don't have to be nervous, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask you a few things. This ship you went to the Western Ocean, as you said, was built by the Longjiang Dock? ”

"The grass people don't dare to deceive our emperor, it is indeed the ship of the Longjiang Dock."

Hou Xuanyan's expression moved, and he became even more excited, and asked, "How about this kind of ship sailing on the sea?" Have you ever encountered wind and waves, is it safe to go to the West? ”

Glenn said with some pride: "Your Majesty, the ships of our Longjiang Dockyard are much stronger than those of Westerners, and they are larger, about ten zhang long, two zhang and one foot wide, one zhang and five feet high, with a draft of nine feet and a carrying weight of three or four thousand quintals. As long as the wind and waves are not particularly strong, there is no need to be afraid. ”

"Good! Good! Good! Hou Xuanyan said hello three times in a row, stood up and asked: "When our Han merchant ships arrived in the Western Ocean, did they encounter any difficulties, and did any country have a bad attitude?" ”

"Nope!" Glenn said categorically: "When our merchant ships arrived in the Western Ocean, the goods were looted, and the bids were dozens of times higher than those in Jiangnan, and some people still flocked to them. ”

"Oh.."

Glenn looked at His Majesty the Emperor with a stupid look, and His Majesty looked a little disappointed with such a face-saving answer...
