Chapter 1117: My Mother-in-law!
Zhao Hongyu just asked about Shang Fu Danian, and then handed it over to his affairs officer to negotiate with him.
This little thing doesn't need Zhao Hongyu to go out in person, after all, Fu Danian is only a small hundred households. I don't know if I want Zhao Hongyu to face it in person, otherwise Zhao Hongyu will be tired to death.
An official like Fu Danian is really a lot in Daming.
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu asked himself, he stopped paying attention to himself, and Fu Danian's anger couldn't help but rise.
Fortunately, Fu Danian knew that before he figured out the other party's heels, he was really not able to get some means. Otherwise, if he really provoked the hard stubble, he would not be able to eat and walk away.
Therefore, Fu Danian suppressed his rising anger and began to communicate with the affairs officer who came over.
This exchange doesn't matter, but it startled Fu Danian.
My dear mother!
I'll just say how these people look extravagant and compelling, dare to be the crown prince of a country.
Although he didn't know where the Americas were that the affairs officer said, Fu Danian really knew that the respect of the crown prince of a country was not at the mercy of a small hundred households like himself.
Fortunately, he didn't have a seizure just now, otherwise it wouldn't have ended well now.
"Oh, so you came to my Ming Dynasty as a tribute?" , Fu Danian preconceived that these people from the Americas must have come to the Ming Dynasty to meet the emperor to pay tribute.
After all, some neighboring countries will always do this once in a few years.
For example, the Goryeo people in Liaodong are even more diligent in their tribute.
The countries on the southern side are better.
"It's not a tribute, we're here to worship our ancestors. Our ancestors used to live in this land, but they only went to the Americas hundreds of years ago. ”
The clerk seriously corrected the big year.
Tributary?
The Song Empire paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty?
It's simply impossible.
Although the Song Empire was a new state, it seemed to be strong and prosperous, at least on the surface.
Even if it's a tribute. That should also be the tribute of the Ming Dynasty to the Song Empire, how can it be possible to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty yourself? To do such a thing, that's what only some small countries do.
Although the Song Empire has only been established for a little more than three years, the size of the territory is incomparable to that of the Ming Dynasty.
And the strength of the Song Empire's soldiers is not something that the Ming can imagine.
"Ancestor worship?"
This time, it was Fu Danian's turn to be dumbfounded.
He couldn't imagine that these people from the so-called Americas actually had ancestors from the Ming Dynasty.
"Yes, ancestors. Our ancestors and even the crown prince are actually from the Central Plains. After hundreds of years. We came back from thousands of miles across the ocean to worship our ancestors, and at the same time, we also came back to have a look. ”
Of course, the clerk knew what to say, after all, the draft had already been prepared.
Between the questions and answers, the information that shocked Fu Danian even more was revealed.
Hey, my mother!
These people are actually descendants of the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago, especially the crown prince, who is actually the remnant of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
Although the Great Song Dynasty has been extinct for hundreds of years, it is now the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
However, when Fu Danian heard this information. Still a shocking mess.
"Are you really the descendants of that Song Dynasty?"
The clerk nodded: "There is no need to lie to you about a small hundred households, we are just coming back to worship our ancestors." After all, our ancestors all lived here. ”
Fu Danian suddenly didn't know what to do.
This is not a small country to pay tribute, but the descendants of the previous dynasty came back to worship their ancestors.
It's nothing to say. Isn't it just an ancestor worship?
It's just that the identity of this ancestor worshipper is a bit unusual, so Fu Danian suddenly has a little insufficient brains.
"We were new to the city and didn't know the rules here. However, we have already asked people to send the letter to the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect. I'm really sorry for the trouble you have caused to your lords. ”
After talking with Fu Danian, the affairs officer also knew why his group had attracted such a hundred households.
It turns out that the problem is really with yourself.
Three ships sailed into the people's land. Just swaggering on the waterway in other people's territory, without even saying hello, people know who you are.
What if you're an enemy or a pirate?
Therefore, it is not surprising that a hundred households were sent to catch up.
In fact, this is a good thing, but fortunately, Zhao Hongyu and the others did not show any malice along the way.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a hundred households to pay for the New Year, and even the surrounding guards would be able to be transferred.
Once you figure out what the problem is, the rest is easy.
The clerk had a pleasant face and a smile on his face.
As the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, seeing the appearance of the affairs officer, thinking about the identity of others, Fu Danian felt that he really had no way to fiddle with others.
Zhenzhen'er is the world of the world, and the Zhao Song Dynasty, which has been destroyed for hundreds of years, still has descendants.
And listening to this so-called affairs officer, they actually established the Later Song Dynasty in the Americas, but I don't know where this America is?
How big is this post-Song Dynasty they created?
Well, it won't be that big if you think about it, I think I'm the center of heaven and earth.
"Your Highness, we broke in like this, and we didn't submit the credentials at the Chongming Maritime Yamen, so we sent this hundred households to catch up."
After the affairs officer confessed to Danian, he came to Zhao Hongyu's side and told him the cause of the problem.
Hearing what the affairs officer said, Zhao Hongyu also showed an embarrassed look.
It's not like that, if you think about it, you really did something wrong.
When you come to other people's land, as a foreigner, you have to let people know the way first, and then let them go.
But it was better for me to let the big ship come in, and sailed all the way over.
Fortunately, this is the 17th century. In modern times, it would be a big international dispute. Even because of such a thing, it is not necessary to provoke a war.
What kind of behavior is this, it is simply an invasion of the territory of another country.
"I was negligent in this matter, so now you can see if there is any way to appease this hundred households first."
Zhao Hongyu whispered a few words to the officer, and then glanced at the wooden box that opened the lid on the side.
The meaning of this is very obvious, and that is to settle the matter with money.
In Zhao Hongyu's view, in the Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century, there was nothing that could not be settled with money.
It's my own business. Big can be big, but small is also small.
In addition, he doesn't want to provoke anything wrong, so it would be best if he could solve it.
After all, I didn't come to the Ming Dynasty to find fault, but to come to the Ming Dynasty under the pretext of worshipping my ancestors, to formally meet the emperor, and then reach some agreements with him to immigrate to the Americas from the Ming Dynasty.
And before coming to Daming, Zhao Hongyu had already thought about it, but everything that could be settled here with silver. He's not stingy at all.
Industrial silver, this thing is very cheap.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu was not distressed at all.
Not to mention anything else, the Ming Dynasty got a few celadon or something to sell to the virtual world. That's enough money for him to bribe.
Of course, this kind of business can't be done for a long time, after all, the antique market on the other side of the virtual world is likely to be saturated, so I can only do this business once or twice. Then you have to wait a long time to continue.
This is also a kind of self-protection and regulation in the virtual world, otherwise Zhao Hongyu casually sold antiques in the past, wouldn't it make the antique world on the other side of the virtual world become chaotic.
The clerk nodded knowingly. Then he walked in front of Fu Danian again.
"My Highness said that we were indeed negligent in this matter. However, we don't have any ill intentions, so I thought we'd see if we could make a big deal small......"
The clerk looked at Fu Danian with a smile, and then made a gesture to the surroundings.
Then, a soldier of Chinese descent walked up to the large wooden box with a small wooden box, bent down and began to load the gold coins inside.
After a while, the small wooden box was filled.
On a visual look, at least a few dozen gold coins were also loaded.
After all, how much can a small wooden box hold, and those gold coins are all one or two weights, and dozens of them add up to a few catties.
The small wooden box is not large, and somewhat resembles a modern gift box.
The soldier closed the lid of the box and walked over with it.
The clerk tilted his head, and the soldier handed the box to Fu Danian knowingly.
"What is this?"
Although Fu Danian's heart was hot for a while, he didn't dare to stretch out his hand, and at the same time pretended to be a handful.
In fact, he didn't know what the other party meant, but at such a time, he must have to put it on.
"Little meaning, you and your brothers ran so far because of our negligence. Now that the New Year is coming, let's use this money to buy some New Year's things for the brothers. ”
Fu Danian groaned for a while, and finally took the small box.
However, Fu Danian complained in his heart, why didn't he give himself more.
In that big wooden box, at least it had to contain more than 10,000 of this kind of small gold, and I saw that they could only hold dozens of them.
However, Fu Danian also understands that it is already very good that he can get this gold. If the other party doesn't give it to you, there's nothing you can do.
People insist that they just don't know the rules of the Ming Dynasty, plus the identity of the people, then it is destined not to be too difficult.
So, even though Fu Danian wanted more, he still held back this greed.
Reach out to whom, who shouldn't stretch out, Fu Danian still has a spectrum in his heart.
"This matter, Lord Baihu, do you see if it is ......", the clerk saw that Fu Danian accepted the gold, the smile on his face became brighter, and he asked. (To be continued......)
