Chapter 368: Not a Drop of Water

Emperor Jiajing is not a stingy person, this is certain, but why is he so stingy with North Korea?

You must know that North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and even things like the inheritance of the throne need the nod of the Ming Dynasty to be legitimate, why did Emperor Jiajing treat North Korea so harshly?

They also sent you two noble beauties to warm the bed......

It's just a hundred thousand taels of silver, and the leakage points in the emperor's fingers seem to be more than 100,000 taels.

"What else?" Zhu Houwei asked directly, and choked Jiang Mian back into his stomach what Jiang Mian wanted to question.

"Ambassador Lee has three more requests."

"Say."

"Ambassador Li heard about the train and wanted to borrow a few craftsmen who knew how to build trains with His Majesty to go to North Korea, give the country VIP treatment, and build trains and railways for North Korea.

Second, Ambassador Li also wanted a few craftsmen who knew how to manufacture ordnance to go to North Korea to develop the military industry, improve the military strength of North Korea, and deter the Japanese invaders by the way for the Ming garrison frontier.

Third, Ambassador Li heard that His Majesty had brought back a lot of seeds from overseas, and asked His Majesty to give some seeds to the DPRK......"

It's really a good calculation, Zhu Houwei was a little speechless.

Was Li He's request excessive? Of course, it's excessive, but it's understandable, after all, it's a vassal state that only the Ming Dynasty is looking forward to, and as a suzerain, it should help your vassal state more.

"What does the Cabinet think?"

Liang Chu said: "Ambassador Li's three requests seem to be ordinary, but after all, it is inevitable to be suspected of Longwangshu, it is true that North Korea is a vassal country, and it is understandable that the Ming Dynasty as the suzerainty will give certain help to the vassals, but whether it is a train or a military industry, it is a sharp weapon of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be lightly given to other countries, as for the seeds, the old minister feels that it is insignificant, and it does not hurt to give some."

"What does Yang Aiqing think?"

"The minister dares to ask His Majesty whether what was recorded in the official history of the Joseon Dynasty yesterday is true or false?" Yang Yiqing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Nature is true."

"It stands to reason that the Korean royal family will never dare to spread such a disrespectful matter, how can Your Majesty know about it?"

"I have my own way."

Yang Yiqing suddenly, Tianyan!

To tell the truth, when the emperor established the Heavenly Eye, the whole court was extremely frightened, but now that so much time has passed, the Heavenly Eye does not seem to show much terrifying penetration, so that the court has almost forgotten the existence of the Heavenly Eye.

Now it seems that they are still a little naïve, the Tianyan organization can infiltrate North Korea, and can find out such a secret matter, which shows the horror of its organizational ability.

The reason why Tianyan has not been powerful is not that there is no power, but that the emperor does not need to use this big killing weapon, for the emperor, the power of Tianyan lies in deterrence rather than killing!

If you want to maintain the deterrent power, then you only need to let Tianyan come out from time to time to show off your presence.

"The minister thinks that the Korean royal family has smeared Taizong, and his heart can be punished, and the imperial court should send envoys to hold them accountable and kill the officials who record false historical books!"

"Yang Aiqing thinks the North Korean royal family will admit it?"

Yang Yiqing was stunned for a moment, this is not nonsense, if North Korea can admit it, it will be called a ghost, but the reason why he suggested this is completely because he believes that the emperor must have evidence of a real hammer in his hands, isn't it.

"There's no point in dwelling on this matter, Taizong's justice, sooner or later I will ask North Korea for it back, but now is not the time."

"The minister is in vain." Yang Yiqing bowed his head and said: "Ambassador Li's three requests, I think Your Majesty has already had a holy judgment in his heart."

Zhu Houwei smiled, this guy is not leaky, he can't eat his own thoughts, and he doesn't want to say the wrong thing, plus the matter of North Korea's Black Taizong is there, it is estimated that there is also resentment in his heart, so he directly exempts himself from respect, if the emperor's punishment is unreasonable, he can also refute it with reason.

"The steam engine and the train have poured more than ten years of painstaking efforts, dozens of craftsmen have worked hard and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally the train can run on the land of China, and the world will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes because of the emergence of the train.

I said that Tongzhou Industrial Park is the cradle of industrialization, so the steam engine is the fruit, and you will soon see how significant it is.

North Korea wants to prostitute steam technology, and the abacus is really loud, not to mention that even if I want, North Korea has that industrial capacity?

Tell the Korean envoys, and tell him that I will let him bring back a few rails, and give him a craftsman who will forge the rails, and when the DPRK will be able to lay a thousand-mile railway, I will give him two locomotives, and if I can lay 3,000 miles, I will send him ten, and I will also send someone to teach them how to make a steam engine. ”

The cabinet elders nodded one after another, feeling that the emperor's compromise plan was indeed acceptable, the Korean country was poor and weak, and it was not known that it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to lay thousands of miles of railways.

What's more, even if you understand the technology of prostitution, North Korea has the ability to make it?

The train runs by the front of the locomotive, and there is no ability to lay the railway, even if there is a locomotive, what can it do?

"As for military manufacturing, that's nonsense, North Korea thinks too beautifully, and it also protects the borders of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Japanese invaders, is it that now my Ming Dynasty has no ability to prevent the grassland and the Japanese invaders, if North Korea feels that its military strength is not good, I can send 10,000 new troops to North Korea to protect the safety of the Korean state!"

"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment." The elders of the cabinet are convinced, and they dare to covet the military industry of a big country, and they don't know what to do!

"Seeds, I can give them, let me take some tomatoes, peppers, peanuts, beans and corn seeds from my imperial village and give them to him, after all, it is a vassal country, and I don't want to treat him too lightly."

"Obey." Jiang Mian continued: "Lama Deji came on the order of a senior monk this time to ask His Majesty to confer the title of Luosang Danzhu as a living Buddha in Tibet."

Bestow the title of Living Buddha? What kind of operation is this?

Even if Zhu Houwei doesn't understand it anymore, he knows that the Panchen is a kind of living Buddha, or that the living Buddha includes the Panchen, that is to say, whether he gives it or not, it can't change the basic fact that Luosang Danzhu is a living Buddha.

So what is the purpose of the seal?

Zhu Houwei frowned and thought about it, and after a while, he came to the truth that he thought was relatively close to the truth.

Uszangna is a holy place for Buddhism, and there are many Buddhist temples in the territory, and there are many large and small sects, such as the Gelug sect, which is relatively bullish.

In addition, the whole is also divided into sutra and tantra, and the living Buddha also has the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama.

Each sect has its own doctrines and believers, and the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama also claim that their living Buddhas are orthodox and do not want to let each other go, as for the operation of finding reincarnation, Zhu Houwei does not quite understand, but he understands that if he bestows the title of Luosang Danzhu as a living Buddha, then Luosang Danzhu is officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and can strongly suppress the Dalai Lama, and then attract more believers.

"Tell Lama Deji that the Buddhist culture in the snow area is special, and I have no intention of interfering with ......."

"Obey."
