Chapter 164: The Ming Dynasty Opens the Gift in the Right Way

As a traverser, it is inevitable that you will not remember the birthday of this body clearly. This is especially true of Corning, who doesn't even remember as clearly as Boss Huang.

Huang Lin, who had returned to the Ryukyu Kingdom and was preparing to assassinate the monk Kikuin, had not forgotten to give him the gift he was most looking forward to.

More than 600 craftsmen, escorted by a fleet led by the Water Commissioner, have arrived on Awaji Island. They were handed over to Cha Yongzhang to start their business.

Kang Ning had every reason to believe that what he could think of, Huang Lin, as a business elite, was completely more likely to think of earlier than him. Sure enough, the molds that were sent with the craftsmen proved this.

"Yongle Tongbao. Well, very good! Looking at the words carved on the mold, Corning's mood became extremely excited.

At this time, Tokan returned to Awaji Province. Unlike Su Qin, Zhang Yi and Feng Tang, he did not have any specified purpose for this trip, but just casually sightseeing with free shipping. It's just that the scenery he admires is not the natural beauty, but all aspects of people's lives.

"According to the observation of the villain. The currency circulated among the people of the Japanese people is indeed mainly based on Yongle Tongbao. This is very strange to the villain, why is a foreign currency popular? ”

Kangning smiled and said, "You don't understand this." After years of wars on the island, it is very likely that the currency issued by a certain daimyo will lose its legitimacy due to the defeat and demise of the daimyo in the war. In this way, the property of the people became worthless. In order to avoid such a phenomenon, everyone chooses the currency of the country that is not easy to die. In the small circle of East Asia, is there anything more suitable for this condition than Yongle Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Diao Xian nodded: "I see." This country is really amazing. It's all a necessity to prepare for war. ”

"yes. War, in other words, is the most important factor affecting the commercial order, but it is the most beneficial factor for commercial profits. You say, should we say that war is a wonder, or is commerce a wonder? ”

The knife was speechless for a moment, as if he lacked the corresponding knowledge of the subject.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua, who had finally recovered from seasickness, found Kangning. He asked angrily, "I heard that Boss Huang sent a group of craftsmen. It also brings a lot of tools. It is not a casting cannon. I can't wait. ”

Corning shook his head and said, "They have nothing to do with artillery. We still lack enough materials, mainly the problem of sulfur. However, according to the time calculation. The commercial trade agreement should have been signed, and soon we will be able to start the money printing machine, oh no, the screw coin press, and buy enough with our money. ”

Sun Yuanhua was inevitably a little disappointed after hearing this, but he heard a new term. Instead, he asked curiously, "What is a screw coin press?" ”

Corning said, "A thing made by the Tessie people more than a thousand years ago. It's more convenient to mint money. If you want to know, you can ask Che Yongzhang yourself. ”

Sun Yuanhua did not hesitate to find Che Yongzhang's whereabouts.

Kangning looked at his distant figure and couldn't help but wonder if he would help report everything he saw here to the court to whom he was loyal, or his teacher Shi Ziming.

If necessary, Corning would now very much like to turn him directly into a reincarnated person, so that he doesn't have to worry too much about him. But if all the people he is dealing with are birth permits, then in the future. He will find that his abilities have been severely reduced while he is guessing people's hearts.

This is an unbreakable truth.

So, Corning eventually rejected the temptation from the bottom of his heart. What he is going to try is to use his own wrist to carry out the action of attracting talents.

This is Sun Yuanhua, so I want it to keep it in this original natural state.

As for the problems he was able to find. I'm afraid it's a small matter of privately minting copper coins.

As for the more far-reaching impact, according to the knowledge he has now, it is impossible to deduce it, at least, he still lacks sufficient understanding of the expulsion of good coins by compound interest coins, and as for the problem that you and Boss Huang both thought of, he didn't even know anything about it.

With his teacher, Shi Ziming, he may have been regarded more as a technical talent, and did not have access to a sufficient amount of economic knowledge from later generations.

Perhaps his teacher didn't know much about economics either. Now, for many people, especially those who have grown up under the so-called compulsory education, a lot of economic common sense is something in the clouds for them.

What's more, Mr. Shi seems to be more of a rigorous scholar, and a scholar who is biased towards history and literature. He obviously lacked sufficient knowledge of the loopholes in the ancient economy.

No matter what aspect of the superior traverser, if there is a shortcoming in the economy, then even if he has a strong armed force and industrial production capacity, he is likely to lose an invisible war.

Kangning actually has shortcomings in this regard, but fortunately, he has countless talents under his hands, and he can also learn a lot from Boss Huang, as well as the guy Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, who also seems to be a master of economics.

With such an ally, he does not need to worry too much about economic problems, but should pay more attention to infrastructure construction.

Every tall building needs a strong foundation, but how strong is it? But it's not the builders of high-rise buildings who have the final say. The most vocal in this is the storm that can threaten the skyscrapers.

Now, the island of Awaji, where he is located, can be repopulated with a little more, but the area of cultivated land can no longer keep up. Although the vast majority of the villagers are engaged in agricultural production, although the climate is not smooth, it is impossible to cause a large-scale reduction in production, and the seeds of grain are the best of the best, which Boss Huang brought from later generations. The harvest of the first year would not have been too bad, but Corning knew that in the face of war, all factors of production that were favorable to agriculture might become insignificant.

Once the cannon is fired, the price will probably be more than 10,000 taels of gold, and he is still unsure whether his territory will be able to escape the impending war intact.

Therefore, he sent Yan Siqi. However, the city received more refugees, and at the same time, he also had to bring back some of the old troops who had been on the battlefield with him.

In addition, his roots are still in Shandong after all. Even though he has been adrift overseas, this is not his homeland after all, and there is no rich heritage to provide him with development.

Moreover, he doesn't want to think that his husband is overseas, lest in the near future, when he chases the Central Plains, some people will say that he is a foreign barbarian, and he is not qualified to be called the co-owner of the Central Plains at all. Therefore, Shandong is a place that he must not give up, as for the territory he has now. Although it is a place where you can make your own decisions, his political status is far less important than Shandong.

Therefore, Kangningyuan accepts a Jiaodong Peninsula that cannot be completely in charge, and will not hold on to this territory when it is threatened.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario, and as far as the current situation is concerned, its layout is getting farther and farther away from this worst-case scenario.

The fleet led by Yan Siqi. At this time, I just returned to Awaji Island.

He brought back not only Corning's old subordinates, but also more than 2,000 refugees. It also brought some updates on the Jiaodong Peninsula.

Since you want to run it as if it were your own, you can't be ignorant of the latest situation there. In this day and age, it's easy to get the word out because of the terrain, but it's a good thing. Corning had a sufficient number of ships to collect and relay the information needed while transporting goods and people.

Both the group and the refugees still need time to recuperate, and you didn't bother them in the first place. Second, they listened to Yan Siqi's report on the latest situation.

Yan Siqi doesn't have the slightest advantage of bullying the small, although he is in his 30s, although he joined Boss Huang's camp earlier than Kang Ning. But in front of Kang Ning, he still listened carefully to Kang Ning's instructions according to Boss Huang's instructions.

Finding out the news is something that every fleet will do, and it is also a camp like Boss Huang, the skills that have been carefully cultivated depend on you at the beginning, you didn't specifically ask him at the beginning, but Kang Ning knew that he would definitely bring back enough meaningful information.

What Kang Ning wants to know most now is whether those parting gifts that he deliberately left behind when he left the territory of the Ming Dynasty have come in handy now.

Yan Siqi sat next to Kang Ning, drank a large bowl of water, picked up a carrot and nibbled on it, this is obviously his habit after defecting to Boss Huang, in the 16th century on the sea, not many people paid attention to the nutrition of seafarers.

"If you want to talk about new things in Shandong, there are really a lot of them recently. First, the two sects launched a large-scale automatic. And these two major sects turned out to be one. The sect boss wanted to make himself emperor, but his two apprentices were unwilling, so they joined forces to be him. Originally, the boss of the sect called the White Lotus Sect was also unwilling to rebel, but an important minister of the imperial court was killed by his men, and when he died, he recorded his crime of trying to rebel in a bloody font, and this important minister was investigating the cause of the death of another important minister. So the death of these two important ministers in battle was attributed to the leader of the sect. But after the large-scale fighting ended, the court suddenly found that the two loyal ministers were not dead, they appeared alive in the territory of Laizhou Mansion, and identified themselves to the local officials. ”

Of course, Kangning knew about the tiger disease of the two sects, and at the same time, he also knew that the other party did not say the names of the two parties, not because he didn't inquire, but because he knew that the leader of one of the parties was none other than him Kangning.

This is a way of evasion, to be precise, it should be a way to avoid danger, the other party is not willing to know too many secrets, and the headphones will not express it, so as to show himself that he is a good at keeping secrets and is a trustworthy person.

This is a common phenomenon in a tight-knit organization, and it is also a good behavior to promote cooperation between the two parties.

Downing was more than happy to accept this.

As for the things he mentioned later, that is, those two important ministers suddenly appeared alive in front of the world, and that was the thing he was most proud of.

It was a gift he left to the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhijian and Li Zhuo are just two extremely capable feudal officials, and Kang Ning can be certain to some extent that Li Zhuo is extremely likely to be a traverser. Such a person will become the mainstay of the main empire in the future, and he has inadvertently collected three such talents.

But now, he can only hide them and play a role where others can't see them. Among them, only Li Yan can appear openly and openly in front of the world. And he appeared alone, and he was a little worried about you, so there was the arrangement of the king's key.

Now what you are concerned about is, what is the situation of these two people now? How did the Ming Dynasty accept the gift he gave Kangning?

Yan Siqi's next statement solved the mystery for him.

The local officials were very surprised, they thought they had seen the corpse in broad daylight. The vast majority of people can't believe they're still alive. Knowing that their family members heard the news and went to identify them, they finally confirmed that it was them, but who was the person who died! This becomes a problem, after all, when they are in the lower gear, they are all verified. Soon, however, the two of them came up with a very reasonable explanation, pointing out that this person was a stand-in. They are their most faithful servants. Sensing that danger was imminent, they had to use this method as a last resort, reading about possible dangers. As a result, there were two assassinations. ”

Kang Ning nodded with satisfaction, on the surface, there was a surprised expression that a normal person should have, as if he had heard a ghost story with ups and downs, and still said with some unfinished words: "It's really a legendary experience, but I don't know if the imperial court will let them continue to be officials." ”

Speaking of which, the imperial court was also embarrassed for a long time, and after their death, the imperial court made a high-standard gift. Some official positions that could only be given to the dead were also sealed, but they were still alive, so the court was embarrassed for a long time. Some people in the court advocated that those official positions that could only follow the dead must be taken back. And the other part of the people's opinion, as if the two have been remitted, refers to the person. As a result, in the end, His Majesty the old emperor thought that these two people were manufacturable materials, and it would be a pity if they did not continue to use them, but the human point of view was not suitable for the use of living people, so they only added an official level to the original pipe and continued to use it. Now, Lord Wang is already the head of the Dengzhou Haiphong Yamen, and Lord Li has become the military garrison stationed in Yizhou. ”

The big stone in Kangning's heart finally fell to the ground, and the Ming Dynasty had successfully accepted his gift in the way he was most happy to see.

In this way, a larger layout can be expanded. (To be continued.) )
