Chapter 645: Rules and Etiquette

Everything is just for the opening of the sea ban.

People who are detached from the world are always accustomed to putting themselves at the level of the savior, and condescending to change the way of the world with a faint sense of superiority.

Qin Kan will never be able to make this gesture, he has never regarded himself as a savior, this world should not have his existence in the first place, without his world, history will still roll forward, Qin Kan is like an uninvited guest at a full feast, more than him, no less, nothing more than adding a pair of chopsticks.

This is Qin Kan's positioning of himself, so although his ideal is to change the way of the world, he never dares to put on the posture of a savior, and even such a dignified and upright thing as opening the sea ban inevitably has a bit of a taste of conspiracy.

Sometimes Qin Kan is very envious of those seven-rank superintendent imperial histories, no matter whether they are justified or not, it is enough to put on a reasonable and arrogant expression, dare to say anything on the Golden Palace, dare to scold anyone, and if they don't agree with each other, they will have a left hook and a right hook, eloquence and saliva fly together, and swear words are a combination of force.

"Grandpa, pick a day to go to sea, if the four lucky ships are loaded with our Ming Dynasty's silk, tea and porcelain to sell at sea, it can make a profit of more than 20 times, Japan is in troubled times, their emperor is hollowed out by the shogun, just an empty shelf, not to mention the right to unify the country, even the cost of food and clothing in their palace is a problem, the emperor is so poor that he is about to be a profane pants, but although the emperor has no money, but those shogunate generals who have been divided into various places have money......"

"Nonsense! A little common sense, okay? The Japanese don't wear dirty pants, they only hang two fart curtains in front and ......"

"The emperor also hangs a fart curtain?" Ding Shun's eyes widened in disbelief.

"According to the current property of the Japanese imperial family, the emperor may not be able to afford to hang a fart curtain......" Qin Kan narrowed his eyes. There is a calculation in his eyes: "If the fortune ship is sailed to Japan, the risk is too high, just along the way is a big trouble, the four fortune ships do not know how many ironclad warships to escort to ensure that nothing goes wrong, but if the ship arrives in Japan, the profit is indeed dozens of times, although Japan is poor, but they are rich in silver mines, it doesn't matter if they don't have money to pay the bill, it doesn't matter if the shogun allocates two silver mines to us, it won't be a loss......"

Ding Shun was so excited that his breathing became heavy: "Don't lose anything." It's a lot of money. Grandpa, our Ming Dynasty is short of silver and copper, so many local governments have to use treasure banknotes and flying tickets for circulation, although the official face of that thing is charged with silver and copper. In fact, it is not even as good as straw paper. A shipload of tea silk was shipped to Japan. Not to mention that you can exchange it for half a boatload of white flowers, but those silver are real, grandpa. It's a big deal! ”

"It's a high reward, but it's also a high risk, and the pirates at sea are the biggest trouble." Qin Kan sighed deeply, feeling a kind of regret that the meat came to his mouth but he didn't dare to put it down.

Ding Shun also sighed: "It's not just the Japanese who are in trouble, the shogunates in various places that are fighting are also a big trouble, our Ming ship is on the shore of Japan, if it is robbed, it is not only a matter of losing money, but also the face of the Ming sect master is lost." ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "As long as you rely on the shore of Japan, it's not a big problem, it's just a small island in Japan, how much do you think the so-called shogunate secession can cut out?" Often a dozen samurai plus hundreds of farmers with hoes to get together, it is a great army, many years of raids on my Ming frontier is the lost position of the ronin samurai, they do not buy the Ming account, because they have nothing to lose, but the shoguns of Japan still regard me as the suzerain, one because of culture, the other because of strength, so we have to worry about the Japanese on the sea, if the ship arrives safely in Japan, there is nothing to worry about, Japan is a lonely island, few products and few products, civil is very lacking, The shoguns were still happy with the Ming Dynasty, and no one would be stupid enough to push the Ming goods sent to the door out. ”

Ding Shun smiled with relief: "In this case, our first stop on the sea will be Japan." ”

Qin Kan squinted, his eyes flickered, he didn't know what he was thinking, and his smile was not very kind: "It's no problem to choose Japan for the first stop, but you can't be reckless, you go back and choose a few henchmen to infiltrate the ships of Zhejiang merchants, go to Japan to investigate first, find out the customs of Japan and the separatism of the shoguns and the daimyo of the shoguns, and then ask them to secretly contact the daimyo to ensure that nothing goes wrong before we go to sea." ”

Ding Shun rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, my subordinates vaguely saw a lot of silver waving at us, not to mention anything else after earning silver, let's first make a golden fart curtain for the Japanese emperor......"

Qin Kan smiled and praised: "Exquisite! ”

"That is, we are the masters of the Ming Dynasty, how can we bear to see the emperor of the vassal kingdom bare-chested."

******************************************************************

Going to sea is not just as simple as building a few ships loaded with cargo and setting sail, but also the reaction of the Korean Chinese officials, the various reasonable and unreasonable dividend demands of the noble shareholders, the risks that must be borne on the way with the Japanese Kou, and the selection of the most suitable partners among the chaotic shogunates of Japan's Warring States after arriving at the port, etc., all of which must be prepared in advance before the ships set sail.

Don't say it, don't think it, as soon as the words are provoked, things seem to be a mess, the more Qin Kan and Ding Shun talk, the more headaches they have, and when they look at each other, they both have an urge to break up unhappily.

The butler hurriedly walked into the front hall with a ghostly expression on his face, holding a famous post in his hand.

"Master, someone posted a visit."

"Who?"

The butler's expression was very strange, and his cheeks twitched: "...... Nanjing Wei Guogong's little grandfather, Xu Pengju. ”

Qin Kan and Ding Shun were taken aback.

After being shocked for a while, Qin Kan said: "Xu Pengju ...... Post a visit? ”

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "Yes, it is written on the name post, the name of the little grandfather is very formal, and it is the name of the Wei Mansion in Nanjing, and now people are standing outside the door of our mansion, dressed Zhou Zhou Zhengzheng, and even the carriage and horses are the honor guard of the Guogong......"

Qin Kan was stunned: "This guy has always come to my house without telling him, breaking in, eating and taking, robbing if he doesn't give it, he has never treated himself as an outsider, and today he actually got such a formal post,...... Did Xu Pengju get drunk or did he take the wrong medicine? ”

The butler sighed, "Who says it isn't." At this moment, the little grandfather was standing upright outside the door of the mansion, with a solemn and heavy face, as if he had gone to the grave, and the old man was so frightened that he crawled and sent the name card in. ”

After carefully looking at Qin Kan's face, the housekeeper continued: "Master, I don't know what happened to Young Master Xu, but since the people officially handed over the name in the name of the Duke of Wei, according to the rules, we have to open the middle door and put on the honor guard of the Duke of Ningguo to greet us, so as not to fall into the handle." ”

"It's just a matter of going crazy alone. Do you still want me to go crazy with him? Qin Kan glanced at the housekeeper coldly. After pondering for a long time, he sneered: "Since he has to be so formal, his father-in-law will tell him the rules ruthlessly!" ”

…………

Grandpa Qin generally doesn't pay much attention to rules and etiquette, and it's not good to be too polite. There is hypocrisy in his bones. Bow down and make a move. After the salute, they were thousands of miles away from each other, and it was far less cordial than pointing their noses and scolding each other face-to-face.

However, since Young Master Xu has to be so particular, Qin Kan is naturally more particular than him. Young Grandpa Xu will soon know how crazy and outrageous the Ningguo Mansion is once it is exquisite.

Xu Pengju was wearing a plain green shirt, standing motionless outside the gate of the Qin Mansion, standing with a solemn expression.

After standing for half an hour, the side door of the Qin Mansion opened slightly, and a Qin Mansion gatekeeper flashed out from inside, with a smile on his face full of home.

Xu Pengju became more and more solemn, straightened his clothes, and stepped forward with square steps.

"Can Duke Ning Guo be in the mansion?"

The porter smiled brightly: "Today, after His Majesty went down to the Taimiao to offer prisoners, the master has returned to the house." ”

"Take me to him."

"You are so polite to teach the little one at a loss, in the past, when the little grandfather came, he kicked in the door directly......"

Xu Peng raised his eyes and glared: "Don't talk nonsense, this is etiquette, do you understand?" ”

The porter said with a smile: "The name of the little grandfather has been sent in, the master has orders, since the little grandfather suddenly talked about the rules, the Ningguo Mansion dares not to attach to his tail, and everything will be according to the rules today." ”

"Today is an official visit to Ning Guogong, so naturally we have to talk about the rules."

The porter smiled as brightly as a summer flower, but he stretched out his hand to Xu Peng very unceremoniously: "According to the rules of the Ningguo Mansion, all the princes and nobles or ministers in the court, if they want to see the Ningguo Prince, they need twenty taels of silver to enter the door, and the little one has thanked the little grandfather for the reward." ”

Xu Pengju was taken aback: "Do you want to collect money when you enter the door?" ”

The porter sighed with a smile: "The little grandfather is erudite and talented, he must know what it means to be a 'seven-grade official in front of the prime minister'......"

Xu Peng's face turned green: "Can you speak human words?" What does it mean to see Hades for twenty taels of silver? ”

"Little gaffe, hehe, ...... with your palm" The porter slapped himself lightly twice, but his body was still motionless and blocked the door, without the slightest intention of letting him in.

Xu Pengju took a deep breath, and the unhealthy wind of talking about rules was brought up by him, so naturally there must be a beginning and an end.

The two ingots of silver light crossed an arc in mid-air and landed accurately in the hands of the gatekeeper.

The porter took the silver and bowed his waist again and again: "Thank you little grandfather for the reward, please come in, my master has been waiting for a long time." ”

Xu Pengju pointed to the porter, as if he wanted to scold two swear words, thinking about today's brain twitching to talk about the rules, so he had to flick his sleeves and give up.

Entering the familiar Guogong Mansion, Xu Peng raised his eyes without squinting, bypassed the corridor of the wall, walked straight to the front hall, lifted the hem of his robe and was about to cross the threshold, the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion floated silently behind Xu Peng like a ghost, and blew a yin wind behind his ear.

"The little grandfather has good slender legs......"

"Ahhh

"You, where did you come from? What are you doing? ”

The housekeeper is still as ethereal as a fairy: "Has the little grandfather paid a respect?" ”

"Handed it over."

"Chenghui, if you want to enter the front hall, pay another twenty taels ......"

"Why? Master, did I enter the bandits' den? Xu Pengju suddenly didn't want to talk about the rules.

"The rules of the Ningguo Mansion, you must pay the door respect, enter the front hall, and of course, you must pay the ...... of 'hall respect'" (to be continued......)
