Tokugawa Ieyasu was on the road, and he heard a lot of introductions, and knew that the Ming people often said that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are paradises on earth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He has exhausted his imagination, constantly tracing the picture in his mind, imagining the prosperity of Suzhou.

When he actually entered the city, Tokugawa Ieyasu was completely dumbfounded, it was ten times more prosperous than he had imagined......

The wide streets, more than a dozen zhang, can pass side by side through ten four-wheeled carriages, you must know that the widest road in Kyoto can only take two carriages, the road in Suzhou City is five times that of Kyoto!

On both sides of the road, there are also trees, lush and lush, there are camphor, ginkgo, green plum, pear trees, etc., some trees are hung with red persimmons, like strings of lanterns, and no one picks them.

Tokugawa Ieyasu dared to say that if it was placed in the Wa Kingdom, it would have been taken away a long time ago, and the scenery of the Celestial Empire was really different.

Suzhou City is not only atmospheric, but also delicate, there are always people cleaning the road, even the fallen leaves are rarely seen, on both sides of the road, there are special garbage cans, Tokugawa Ieyasu saw with his own eyes, even naughty children, will eat the leftover sweet potato peels to the garbage can.

From top to bottom, everyone is so elegant, so calm, polite, compared to them, the people of the Wa Kingdom are simply like a group of ugly bandits, with hateful faces and vulgar behavior, no wonder the Ming has always despised the four yi, although they are unwilling to face it, they have to admit the gap between the two sides.

The Ming Dynasty is high in the sky, and the Wa Kingdom can only look up.

Heian glanced at Tokugawa Ieyasu and found that he was a thief, looked around, and immediately Heian became angry.

"What do you see? Do you think Suzhou is too good and want to grab it? "Ping An bared his white teeth, his eyes bent into crescents, and he was a gentleman.

Tokugawa Ieyasu shuddered with fright, he knew how terrible the kid in front of him was.

The siege of Oda Nobunaga failed, and the men and horses of the Maori family retreated to the nest by sea, but they were ambushed by the Ming army halfway, and the warships of the Wa Kingdom faced the huge ships of the Ming army, which were almost like toys, without the use of cannons, and the rampage alone was overturned by the ships of the Wa Kingdom.

Maori Yuan died, 3,000 elites of the Maori family were buried at the bottom of the sea, and a strong clan was almost destroyed.

This battle allowed Oda Nobunaga to thoroughly see the maritime strength of the Ming army, even if he was arrogant, he also knew that he could not fight hard with the Ming army, in order to win over the Ming army, he did not hesitate to sign a promise, as long as the Maori family was destroyed, Iwami Silver Mountain would be given to the Ming Dynasty for free......

Tokugawa Ieyasu waved his hands desperately, his head shaking like a rattle.

"Humph! In fact, it doesn't hurt if you admit it, if you dare to show it, you are not afraid that you will make up your mind, nor will you be afraid of stealing school, and tell you that the people of Suzhou City have 1.5 million, plus merchants from all over the country and people working in the countryside, almost 2 million people, and they are about to catch up with the population of your country. A small country, what a worry! ”

Ping'an has a look of eyes above the top, he learned from his father, you must show strength when dealing with barbarians, they will only give in to the strong, and at the same time never let your guard down, even if they lie at your feet and call the courtiers, turn their heads, and have the opportunity, they will bite you. All in all, don't treat them like human beings.

After walking a little further, there were more soldiers patrolling the road, and among them were mixed with brocade guards.

Seeing Ping'an and his party, he hurriedly stepped forward with a serious face, "What are you doing, why are you carrying weapons?" ”

Ping'an didn't speak, Qi Anguo stood up and stuffed a waist card into the opponent's hand. As Qi Jiguang's eldest son, when Qi Anguo was born, he was a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and later rose to the command of the commander.

The soldier checked the waist card and nodded to the ground on one knee, "The little one meets the adult." ”

"Get up!"

The soldier stood up, respectfully returned the waist card to Qi Anguo, and said embarrassedly: "My lord, the peak is strictly ordered, the holy car is here, you must not approach, and the small ones cannot be released......"

Lao Tzu's waist card is not good? Qi Anguo's face suddenly sank, and he wanted to reason with him, but Ping An hurriedly stopped him.

"Forget it, the guarantee is an order from the old man again, how dare they disobey."

Ping An lowered his head, touched it in his arms for a while, took out a jade pendant, and shook it in front of the soldiers.

"If you see it, take this and give it to the people around Your Majesty, and they will summon us over."

The soldier was suspicious, seeing that a few of them had extraordinary bearing, not like liars, turned around and ran in, and not long after, Lu Yi, the capital governor of Jinyi Wei, actually rode a high-headed horse and ran over in person.

When he saw peace, he jumped off his horse and ran over to give him a strong hug.

"Brother, you've got a big face! Your Majesty asked me to hurry up and invite you over, quick, get on the horse! ”

Someone brought over the tall dragon foal, Ping An grabbed the horse's neck, his whole body was exerted, and he easily jumped on the horse's back, the monkey man was as his name suggested, it was easier than Ping'an, not to mention Qi Anguo, there was only one Tokugawa Ieyasu left.

He had never seen such a tall war horse, he was so shocked that he was scared in his heart, his hands and feet were weak, and he didn't go up after a long time.

"Rice bucket, it's a waste to ride a good horse for him, let's run behind!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu's old face was flushed, and there was no way but to follow behind, fortunately, Lu Yi led the team, easily passed the level, bypassed a street, and a behemoth appeared in front of him, almost occupying half of the street, tall and incomparable, straight into the sky. Tokugawa wiped his sweat, looked up, and sat down on the ground in fright.

Oh my God, is there such a big building in the world? It's even taller than Mt. Fuji!

Tokugawa Ieyasu screamed, his hands and feet trembled in surprise, and he almost suffered a stroke.

The three of Ping An looked at it in their eyes, full of little stars.

"This is the handiwork of Tang Hezheng Tang, the tiger father has no dog, he has not weakened Tang Jingchuan's name!"

mentioned the master, Ping An is still a little sad, when he was a child, he also peed in the arms of the master, and when he has time to give the master incense, and talk to his old man about what he saw and heard along the way.

As soon as they reached the front of the building, a red-robed eunuch ran out of it.

"Yo, Lord Xiao Tang, follow our family to face the saint, the emperor can't wait."

Ping'an took Qi Anguo and the monkey and hurriedly entered the huge building, don't look at the building is very large, but fully consider the lighting, use a large piece of glass, the windows are bright and clean, on both sides of the wide staircase, there are whale oil lamps, there is no fireworks, but there is a faint fragrance.

In the middle of the first floor, there is a mouse with its front paws up, holding an acorn in its hand, cute and cute. The second layer is undoubtedly a big brute bull, full of muscles and muscles, full of power...... They walked to the seventh floor, in front of a galloping golden dragon horse, Tang Yi accompanied Longqing, and a cadre of civil and military officials, all laughing and chatting.

Tang Hezheng was introducing them that he originally planned to make the twelve animals made of pure gold, but it was difficult to carry them, except for the rats on the first floor, the others were hollow, which was a pity.

Long Qing said with a smile: "Tang Aiqing, this is shocking enough, such a big building, I'm afraid it's bigger than my Jinluan Palace, right?" ”

The emperor asked casually, but Tang Hezheng knelt down in fright, "Weichen is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"What's this!" Long Qing didn't care, "Big is big, I can only be proud, I have such skilled craftsmen, and there is such a majestic building, which is enough to make Siyi obedient." Lord Tang, I am more concerned about the purpose of the building, and the cost can be recovered? ”

Tang Hezheng's face turned red, "Your Majesty, you have already taken it back, and there is still a small profit." ”

"Oh? How much is that? ”

Tang Hezheng stretched out a finger, "One, one million taels!" ”

Long Qing was so shocked that he didn't stand firm on his feet, and almost crashed into the golden horse.

Isn't it said that the construction of a large scale will cost the people and money? Why did Tang He acquire such a large building, not only to return to the capital, but also to make a lot of money, it is incredible?

The emperor didn't understand, so someone had to solve his doubts, and Yu Youding told Longqing the reason.

Although Quanzhou, Shanghai and other places have set up a city shipping department, but Suzhou is still the financial center of the southeast, and bulk goods from the north and south like to negotiate in Suzhou, as for Shanghai, it is only the center of delivery.

This kind of building covers the merchants of all sides of the Ming Dynasty, there are thousands of shop booths alone, there are countless businessmen who come and go every day, a booth is more expensive than gold, and the rent of 1,500 taels a year is very large, and the good location is even fried to 5,000 taels.

Just collecting rent makes up for the cost and makes a lot of money.

Tang Yi is not surprised, as the first commercial center building in Daming, it is strange to lose money!

At present, in the southeast, tens of millions of citizens and massive transactions are enough to feed several such buildings.

"Chen is summing up experience, training craftsmen, the next step, Yingtian, Hangzhou, Songjiang will build buildings, Suzhou will start the second one." Tang Hezheng said with confidence.

"Okay, sooner or later, I will build a few in the capital." Long Qing suddenly remembered, "By the way, I still want to name the building, what should I call it?" ”

"Call it the first floor in the world, right?"

Suddenly, a crisp voice came, and Long Qing looked over, and suddenly looked up with joy.

"Oops, it's my Ban Chao who is back!"

Lu Yi came to Longqing with peace, made a big salute, and then came to Tang Yi, kowtowing to Lao Tzu respectfully.

"Alright, get up."

The little guy was pulled up, Tang Yi looked at it carefully, let out a long breath, and felt inexplicably relieved, his son finally returned safely, and he really realized at this time that a father doesn't need his children to do much business, as long as he is safe!

Long Qing pulled Ping'an to his side and patted him on the shoulder with relief.

"He is worthy of being the son of Master Tang, and he is an envoy to the Japanese country, and he is majestic!"

Ping An blinked and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are not messengers, you haven't sealed the grass people official yet!" ”

"Look at my memory, now I will crown you as the governor of Anton, and I will order you to proclaim comfort and give you a sword and a ribbon."

became an official, and he also ascended to the sky in one step, and he was so happy that he hurriedly gave a salute.

Tang Yi was puzzled: "Your Majesty." This Anton Division, I don't have it? ”

Long Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Master, why are you confused, you don't have it now, you will have it sooner or later." Right, Xiao Ping'an, do you have the ability to expand the territory for me? ”

"Yes!" Ping An replied loudly. (To be continued.) )
