Chapter 29 Zhu Houzhao is good or bad
The Northern Yuan envoy had already entered Beijing, and all the other soldiers were stationed outside the city, except for a few deputy envoys who lived in the mansion prepared by the Admiral Siyi Pavilion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
For some reason, the little prince, who originally planned to live in the same city, did not stay to enjoy the delicacies of the mountains and seas provided by the Ming court to the envoys, and was also stationed outside the city as a soldier.
Therefore, the difference between a thought is worlds apart.
Under Zhu Houzhao's instructions, the Shenji Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion, and the 3,000 Battalion urgently adjusted their defenses, and each sent a team of 500 people to be stationed around the Tatar Mission.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao did not do this out of fear of the Tatar thousand-man cavalry, but was implicit in it by another purpose, and it was extremely vicious.
On the Shenji battalion, Admiral Zhang Yi was personally in charge, responsible for guarding all the main roads, and strictly prohibiting all private grain and grass from entering the Tatar barracks, and the other two battalions also had the same purpose.
According to the past practice, all the clothing, food, housing and transportation of foreign envoys to Beijing are arranged by the imperial court, and there are also various rewards issued on time and in accordance with the amount to demonstrate the prestige of our **** country and rich in products.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a certain western country came to pay tribute, and the Qianlong Emperor wanted to show the demeanor of a great country by recruiting hundreds of thousands of husbands, and the rewards were more affectionate than their ancestors every morning and dusk.
It cost as much as 100 million taels of silver, which can be described as a waste of money and labor, and at the same time, it also successfully seduced the covetousness of the Western powers, who did not hesitate to cross the ocean to plunder the land of China.
In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, this is simply a stupid move by the enemy.
Because of the presence of later generations, in this Tatar tribute, all expenses were eliminated, and the supply of supplies to the Tatar mission was reduced to a very low level in accordance with the principle of half-satiety.
At the same time, the sergeants of the third battalion were ordered not to allow anyone to sell grain and grass and these steppe tartars, but if the steppe tartars insisted on asking to go into the city to shop, it was allowed.
Among the goods purchased back can be antiques, jade, silk and satin, shochu, meat, and there must not be a single star of grain and rice.
Zhu Houzhao always felt that foreigners should never come to us to provide them with good food and drink, but should work hard to squeeze every drop of oil and water out of their bodies, and using foreigners' money to stimulate the economic development of their own country is the last word.
In line with the great purpose of allowing the masses of the people to obtain the greatest benefits in this two-country envoy.
Zhu Houzhao also took special care of all the merchants in the capital, and the price of goods sold to the Tatars was increased by 10% for antiques, jade, silk, silk, etc., and the original price of meat, shochu, and other foods was increased by 30%.
After all the orders were completed, Zhu Houzhao sent a few people to eat and drink with the chief and deputy envoys of the Tatar mission in the mansion provided by the Admiral Siyi Pavilion.
But he was tired of being with Yuming Xiao all day long, and he set up a shop at the door of Guozijian in a grand manner, opposite the broken tavern of the old sacrificial wine.
The decoration is quite luxurious and charming, even if there is no sign of adult product monopoly, people can know at a glance that it is not a serious place.
Zhu Houzhao named the store Thunder Rain and Dew - an adult product specialty store, but of course the latter words did not appear on the signboard.
It is mainly engaged in Tianzhu Shenshui, as well as a variety of famous painters and non-famous painters painted by the spring palace map, large pillows and other goods.
But this time, Zhu Houzhao is considered to be smart, and he didn't come forward in everything, even the shopkeeper was a little footfoot who no one knew in the brocade guard.
Zhu Houzhao did not give too many instructions to this temporarily arrested shopkeeper, but specifically instructed him to find out the details of the guests.
For example, from that house, what things were bought, how many things, etc., were recorded one by one and checked by yourself after the case was filed.
The room on the second floor has been exquisitely decorated, luxurious and interesting.
In Zhu Houzhao's words, this is completely for the convenience of opening a house in the future, after all, the feeling of snapping at home is completely different from the feeling of going out to open a house.
To this day, he still misses the experience of secretly going to a sex house to play with a girl in a certain university, how a cool word is that taste.
The officials of the Tatar mission were drunk and dreamed of death in the city, but the soldiers outside the city did not even have enough to eat.
The cattle and sheep they brought had already been collected by Zhu Houzhao into the treasury, so that thousands of troops spent a lot of money every day, and the Tatar barbarians, who were not accustomed to eating pork, bought beef and mutton in the city on a large scale.
But under Zhu Houzhao's instructions, the price of all the beef and mutton in the capital skyrocketed, and the people couldn't get so much beef and mutton at all.
Therefore, the thousands of cattle and sheep that were paid tribute by the Tatars were frantically sold to the Tatar barracks at the price of one tael of silver and one pound by Zhu Houzhao.
It only took seven days to survive, and Zhu Houzhao exchanged most of the cattle and sheep brought by Tatar for silver, and roughly calculated that there were nearly one million taels of silver.
Sitting on a hill made of gold and silver, Zhu Houzhao smiled from ear to ear, did this steppe tartar dig up a gold mine, and brought so much gold and silver.
Tsk, what kind of cattle and sheep do the tributes send, so it's better to send money directly if you have money.
The little prince took a bite of the boiled half-cooked leg of mutton and threw the leg of mutton into the pot irritably, he really couldn't understand what the Ming court wanted to do.
The 200,000 taels of gold he brought before leaving was spent nearly half of it in just a few days, and the ridiculous thing was that he bought his own cattle and sheep, which made the little prince angry when he thought about it.
"Someone!" The little prince roared irritably, and immediately a guard rushed in.
The little prince had absolute authority in the Tatar tent, even if he was now only a captain.
With Zhu Houzhao's infinite delay, the little prince's temper has become more and more irritable, and in the past few days, he has whipped a few Tatar warriors who shouted that they wanted to drink wine, eat meat and play with women.
So the current guard didn't dare to slack off at all, for fear that the cowhide whip with steel wire would be whipped in his face.
"Send someone to Battle, and ask him what he's up to these days!"
The man soon galloped out of the city on fast horses, but to no avail.
Not to mention whether this Tatar man who came to report the news under Zhu Houzhao's arrangement can meet the Tatar envoys, even Battle, as one of the envoys, is now also blinded.
The officials of the Admiral Liuyi Pavilion are shushing and asking for warmth every day, and they take care of their envoys meticulously.
When I eat, I drink the coolest and spiciest wine, and when I sleep, I am surrounded by a beautiful lady who is charming and soft.
Even when Battle was angry at them, people were still smiling, and the feeling of a spring breeze made this upright man often fall into the embarrassing situation of a dog biting a hedgehog and not being able to put his mouth out.
For a few days, Battelle was a serious Ming Dynasty official and did not even see the barbarian who was covered in cattle and sheep.
In the end, he became accustomed to nature, and he was drunk and dreamed of death, and even forgot the purpose of his coming to Daming this time.
Zhu Houzhao came a few times in the middle, but he secretly observed and did not appear.
After seeing such a result, he was very satisfied, and praised the officials in the Admiral Siyi Pavilion, what he wanted was to give them such a feeling of being at home.
The money spent was not as much as it was earned, which was a big win for Zhu Houzhao.
The next day, Zhu Houzhao did something even more ridiculous.
He sent someone to collect all the Qinglou women in the entire Kyoto, and then personally took Yan Yan, a thin and fat warbler, and ran towards the station of the Shenji Battalion, accompanied by a big cart that didn't know what to load.
That night, the whole Shenji battalion was very lively, each soldier was accompanied by a girl, and on the bonfire was a whole fat sheep, which was golden and fragrant, and beside him was the wine of the big altar.
As soon as nightfall, the sergeants of the Shenji Battalion began to sing under the leadership of Zhu Houzhao, and a grand bonfire party officially began.
The noise spread to the Tatar barracks, causing countless Tatar soldiers to crane their necks and look in the direction of the Shenji battalion.
The rich aroma of meat and the delicate aroma of fat powder made this group of Tatar men who were very hungry and thirsty in both ways, and all of them were saliva-swallowing.
This is just the beginning, and by the time the moon rises in the sky, everyone is already full of food and drink.
Zhu Houzhao smiled when he looked at the drunken and hazy strong men who were already walking around the equally drunk and cute women sitting beside him with their hands extremely dishonestly.
The mouth full of white teeth all grinned, and it looked more and more **** in the moonlight.
Open the mysterious cart, and it is full of small white porcelain vases. Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and instructed his entourage to quickly distribute these things.
As a result, the whole camp became even more lively, and the relatives who distributed the things shouted at the top of their voices: "The divine water rewarded by the master is guaranteed to make the brothers fierce and the golden gun will not fall."
When the brothers receive the reward, they must work hard, and whoever presses the woman who screams the loudest will be rewarded with five taels of silver!
The woman who screamed loudest was rewarded with ten taels of silver!
Tomorrow morning I will come to your admiral and receive the money!" ”
For a time, more than 500 people gathered together, and the roar of "Lord Xie Commander's reward" resounded in the sky.
Zhang Yi, who was holding two beautiful chicks in his arms, was already half-drunk, and his desire was already rising.
Hearing this, he suddenly sobered up, looked at Zhu Houzhao very aggrieved and said, "Master, do you still have to pay for this silver?" ”
"Of course, if you don't pay for it, do you still have to pay it?" Zhu Houzhao smiled and reached out and grabbed the chest of the little lady in Zhang Yi's arms who had been ravaged and almost completely lost, only to feel that his hands were slippery.
He clapped his hands, casually threw Zhang Yi two delicately decorated vials and continued: "Lord has worked tirelessly to send you such a good woman.
There is also this Tianzhu Shenshui, a bottle is a tael of silver, and your two bottles are even more expensive, a full twenty taels, are you embarrassed to ask the master for money? ”
Zhang Yi expressed his grievances: "Master, my annual income is only one hundred taels." ”
Zhu Houzhao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You know better than me how much money you have."
Zhang Yi, I see that you are not bad, so I will give you a friendship price, and you will be free of the twenty taels, and you can calculate the rest of the money yourself and send it to my house early the day after tomorrow, and you can think about the consequences of one less copper.
I like silver the most! ”
"Also, don't forget to check out the movement on the side of the Tatar military tent, if you delay the matter, the lord will suffocate you to death under the woman's crotch!" Zhu Houzhao left this sentence and rode away.
After walking less than half a mile, the mountains suddenly shook behind him, and the sound of fighting shook the sky!
