"I once said that I am the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven, and as long as I want to know about the things in this world, I will definitely be able to know." Zhu Youxiao pretended to be mysterious and said.

"The grass people have lost their words." Yan Siqi said in awe, and after he finished speaking, he continued to ask, "I don't know what Your Majesty needs the grass people to do?" ”

"I don't need you to do anything for the time being, just do what you want. I've been harming me for a long time, and it's time to give them a little color, I just hope that you can succeed in the Wako uprising and never suffer from the wokes. Zhu Youxiao said.

"As long as this matter can be accomplished, the grass people will definitely promote my Chinese reputation in the Wa Kingdom, and worship my Ming Dynasty as the suzerainty forever." Yan Siqi said with an oath.

Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said: "The affairs of the Japanese country can only be planned slowly, and must not be in a hurry. I will provide you with 15,000 firearms and equipment, and I will give you a secret decree that not only will you be allowed to use the ports of the Great and Small Ryukyus, but I will also allow you to recruit 10,000 volunteers in the guards in Jiangnan and other places, but this must be done in secret before you can start an incident. But you have to pay for it. ”

Zhu Youxiao originally only allowed Yan Siqi to recruit people in the people, but later Zhu Youxiao considered that Yan Siqi's group of people was now organized together by the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and he was worried that the uprising would fail before it started, so he decided to let Yan Siqi recruit troops from the guard.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Siqi said excitedly. What he needs most now is soldiers, although the combat power of the guards is average, but it is definitely better than ordinary people, and it doesn't need training, so it can be used.

"If the soldiers of the guard are willing to go to the Wa Kingdom with you, the salary must be much more than that of him in Daming, otherwise no one will want to go with you." Zhu Youxiao reminded.

"The grass people understand that the grass people brothers still have some silver, which is enough to recruit 10,000 people, but there is not so much silver to buy firearms and other equipment in the future." Yan Siqi said frankly.

"As long as you can gain a firm foothold in the Wa Kingdom, you will definitely not be short of money in the future, and the Wa Kingdom is a silver producer. And if you are really short of money in the early stage, I can lend you money, but it is to collect interest, and I must give an account to the court. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! With His Majesty's support, if this matter is not successful, the grass people are really ashamed of their ancestors. Yan Siqi said gratefully.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Yan Siqi to conquer the whole of Japan, he just hoped that Yan Siqi could make trouble in Japan as much as possible, and the best result would be to establish his own country by dividing one or two large islands.

What's more, investing in Yan Siqi can allow Zhu Youxiao to create the biggest trouble for Japan at the lowest cost, which is the best result for him. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Yan Siqi fails, for Zhu Youxiao, he will hardly lose much, which is far more than directly sending troops.

……

Back in the harem, Zhu Youxiao first went to Concubine Li Cheng, and now he will definitely go to see Concubine Li Cheng whenever he is free. Although Zhu Youxiao has so many concubines in the harem, she is pregnant so far and there is only one Concubine Li Cheng, and most of Zhu Youxiao's hard work is only fruitful.

When Zhu Youxiao came, Concubine Fan Hui was playing a game of "catching fast and killers" with Concubine Li Cheng and a group of palace maids.

There was no entertainment at this time, and Zhang Yan stipulated that the harem was not allowed to play cards. Of course, the game invented by Zhu Youxiao is an exception, and it is now the most played game in the palace. It's just that this game has obvious flaws in the palace, and the palace is highly hierarchical, which makes this game lose its very important entertainment.

"Let's play today." Zhu Youxiao proposed. Wipes are mahjong, but at this time many cards are not yet available, and the cards are also very different from later generations.

"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to play cards." Zhang Yan said softly.

"And such a rule?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously.

"The concubine thinks that the harem should be a model for the people of the world, so the harem is not allowed to play cards." Zhang Yan explained.

"Are erasers, solitaire, horse hangings, etc. prohibited?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Yes." Zhang Yan asked.

"What if it's a new game I invented?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Your Majesty's new invention is certainly not among them." Zhang Yan thought for a while and said. She also realized that Zhu Youxiao was looking for a loophole in her rules again, but if Zhu Youxiao wanted to do this, she couldn't help it.

"Since the queen's rules, I should also abide by them. It's just that there's nothing to play in this harem.,It's boring to stay like this every day.,I'll teach you to play mahjong tomorrow.。 It's a bit similar to a wipe, but it's not a wipe, and the gameplay is very different. Zhu Youxiao emphasized. Zhu Youxiao knew Zhang Yan's character, did things in full accordance with the rules, and thought about him wholeheartedly.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, everyone knew it, but they were really happy, if this harem couldn't play cards, there was really nothing to play.

……

Although Zhu Youxiao was short of silver, there were still a lot of good things in the harem, and Zhu Youxiao directly ordered Wang Liqian to take a few pairs of ivory from the treasury and send them to make mahjong. As for the face and size of the cards, Zhu Youxiao drew them completely according to the cards of the later mahjong. And this time the mahjong tiles, Zhu Youxiao did not put the flower cards in, but put the southeast and northwest white in, a total of one hundred and thirty-six.

Zhu Youxiao's words were a holy decree, and all the staff of the Silver Bureau worked overtime to complete the production before dinner the next day.

After dinner and walking, Zhu Youxiao directly set up a card game in Concubine Li Cheng's palace. The corners are Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Yan, Fan Huifei, and Li Chengfei. Zhang Yan originally didn't want to participate, but Zhu Youxiao had to pull her to participate.

And there were a lot of onlookers, and there were more than a dozen concubines alone, and when they heard that the emperor had a new game to introduce, they all rushed to come immediately.

"There are many ways to play this mahjong, I will talk about one today, and then I will have the opportunity to talk about other ways to play...... "Zhu Youxiao first talked about the simplest way to play.

Playing cards is a typical game that is easy to learn and difficult to master, and it is very quick to learn. After trying a few tricks, everyone has mastered the gameplay, and even the onlookers have almost learned it.

"You have to make a bit of a bet on this mahjong game, otherwise, it will be boring to play for a while." Zhu Youxiao proposed.

"I don't know what bet the emperor wants to make?" Hearing that there was a bet, Fan Huifei immediately asked.

"We're purely for fun, let's just start with a copper dollar." Zhu Youxiao proposed.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good to gamble money in the harem." Zhang Yan said softly.

"What's the Orb's proposal?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
