Chapter 364: Envoy

To enhance the status of merchants, so that the merchants no longer need to suffer so much unfair treatment, less exploitation by some officials, so that they can wear fine clothes, and their descendants can take the imperial examination in an open and honest manner, don't these add up to see Emperor Jiajing's determination to prosper merchants?

Why did Wang Shouren Xingxue get the support of so many businessmen? There are naturally speculators, but there are also many businessmen who repay the favor by building a school to repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven!

But there must be a limit to everything, otherwise it will only be too much, and this is the truth of the promotion of Mien and the fight of Mien.

Let Emperor Jiajing build a railway and build a train to facilitate the world's merchants, but he can't get any benefit from it, the emperor naturally refuses to do such a thing, as for other reasons, in Yang Yiqing's opinion, they are all excuses, and they are lame excuses!

To put it bluntly, the emperor wants to get the wool of the world's merchants!

"May I ask Your Majesty, the merchant is planning to build a railway, then the rails and trains and even the carriages ......?"

"Buy, of course!" Zhu Houwei rolled his eyes and said to Yang Yiqing: "Is it difficult to send it for nothing?" Good steel has to be used on the blade, I still have to build a fleet and a huge cannon, and where steel needs to be used, how can it be sent out in vain! ”

Well, Yang Yiqing understood, the emperor not only wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf, but also wanted to make a lot of money by the way......

The face of the emperor who is a profiteer is undoubtedly displayed at this moment.

"There are a lot of iron mines in the Ming Dynasty, and businessmen can also contract mines to build iron factories to make steel and railroad rails by themselves, I don't care about these, but there are strict standards for rail manufacturing, and shoddy construction is murdering people's lives, so you can't be careless."

"Your Ministers understand."

Zhu Houwei nodded and said: "The matter of rail construction and road construction is so decided, how to operate it is handed over to the cabinet to draw up the charter and inform the world, what else do the secretaries have to say."

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the DPRK and the envoys of Uszang are already waiting outside the palace, and they are ordered to meet Your Majesty at today's court meeting."

"Xuan!"

"Xuanbei envoys and Usizang envoys are here!"

"Li He, the secretary of the Korean Ministry of Rites, knocked to see the Ming Emperor, long live, long live."

"Lama Deji under the seat of the Uszang Panchen Lama meets the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Holy Emperor Sheng'an!"

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houwei looked at Li He, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, who looked ordinary.

And Lama Deji is wearing a lama costume that is different from Zhu Houwei's impression, looking powerful and powerful, and I don't know if it is a legendary martial arts master......

It has been more than half a month since the two led the delegation to the capital, and Zhu Houwei has never been summoned, first, he has no interest, and second, he has no good impression of North Korea and Uszang.

But there is no way, everyone is here, they should see or have to see, Lang Huaxia, the state of etiquette, how can they lose their manners to the small state of Puer!

Of course, the second half of this sentence is no different from farting to Zhu Houwei.

Because in Zhu Houwei's view, this so-called tribute, to put it bluntly, is that those small countries regard the Ming Dynasty as a big wrongdoer.

If you want to blame this thing, blame the Yongle Emperor!

As we all know, Zhu Di seized the throne of his nephew by rebellion, which is a typical misfortune to win the country, and usurping the throne and seizing power itself is a deeply shameful behavior of Confucianism.

Zhu Di asked Fang Xiaoru to write an edict for him to ascend the throne, just to collect the hearts of the world's corporals, and in the end Fang Xiaoru refused to be a rebellious minister and thief, so Zhu Di, who was embarrassed and angry, directly destroyed Fang Xiaoru's ten clans, which can be regarded as a historical precedent.

The famous usurper emperors in history have one thing in common, that is, they like to make some great achievements, and then let the world forget the essence of his usurpation and only remember his merits.

For example, Cao Pi, but this can't be counted, because the essence of Cao Pi's usurpation of the Han is because the political capital left to him by his father Cao Cao is too strong, and if he doesn't usurp the Han at that point, once the Sihan power rises, maybe he or his descendants will die more ugly than anyone else.

In fact, it is indeed quite miserable, the Cao family usurped the Liu family's world, the Sima family usurped the Cao family's country, karma.

If you want to say the most famous usurper in history, it must be Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Ming Yongle Zhu Di.

The change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin killed his brother and killed his brother, and then forced Li Yuanchan to concede, it seems that he can't talk about usurping the throne, at most he can be regarded as a succession, but Zhu Houwei thinks that it should be counted, if he doesn't kill the crown prince Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin has been insulated from the throne all his life, and if he doesn't force Li Yuanchan to concede, Li Yuan may still be able to cultivate a son, but he won't give Li Shimin a chance.

There is contingency and proportionality in history, if you are not ruthless, it is not that there is no chance for any change, just from these two points, Li Shimin is not counted.

Li Shimin obviously knew the political stain on his body, so he created the rule of Zhenguan, pacified the Turkic troubles, and became the first emperor of the ages.

The most criticized is Zhao Kuangyin, after all, he is from the hands of orphans and widows, the food is too ugly, Zhao Kuangyin also knows that he is ugly, it is estimated that he can't escape the humiliation of the civil pen, so he set up the Taizu oath monument, warning future kings, no matter when and for what reason, they must not kill literati, and the king who violates the ancestral teachings will be punished, so Zhao Gou suffered retribution......

Song Taizu was too good to the literati, and ended the centuries-long war between the countries, allowing the people of the world to live a stable and peaceful life again, and treating the scholars so well, even if the scholars could not erase the stain of his usurpation, it was not too much of a problem to beautify him.

As for Zhu Di, although he was forced, it is always an indisputable fact that he usurped the throne of his nephew, so Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West to promote the establishment of the Ming Kingdom, and the establishment of a tributary system with those small countries, and compiled the panicked masterpiece "Yongle Canon", and the five expeditions to Mobei, finally covered up the disgraceful history on his body, and became the Yongle Emperor of later generations!

Since Yongle, the tributary system has been thoroughly established and has become the norm, and small foreign countries have also enjoyed it, because it has benefits.

What is the tributary property, the Ming Dynasty is strong, and it is ten times as much as you give it, so do you do it or not?

Don't do it? You ask the shameless group of people on the island next to them what they did, they sent Tang envoys to learn Han culture, sent Song envoys to bring a large number of women to borrow seeds from the Great Song Dynasty, and they couldn't wait to send Ming envoys ten times a year to rub oil from the Ming Dynasty......

Don't doubt it, the country of the dwarves is so shameless in both the past life and the present life.

After Zhu Houwei ascended the throne, small countries such as Korea, Annam, Champong, and the Wa Kingdom all came to pay tribute, but at that time, Zhu Houwei had too many things to count, and where was he in the mood to rub oil for the small country to block himself, so he asked Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites to send half of the usual way

As for the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Houwei only explained one word.
