I didn't understand it, what does this have to do with the people? Isn't it just for the common people to support the royal family?

However, it has come to this point, unless they tear their faces with Daming and go home, even so, the silver still has to be paid.

Very reluctant, but the others still had to pay the silver, he was very unhappy, complained in front of the lord, after the lord listened, the heart said, since the emperor has helped him get all the silver, does he still have to complain to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did not entertain so many people in their Zhenla country?

It turned out that the royal family of the Ming Dynasty was so not rich.

Lu Zhen appeared again and invited the lord of Zhenla, "We have arranged a car to send His Royal Highness the King to Yingtianfu, because the vehicles are limited, if the rest of the people want to take the car, they need to spend their own money, I don't know how the lord will arrange it?" ”

There are more than 300 people in this line, and the Ming Dynasty has not yet invested in the production of buses at this time, so the kind of bus that can carry forty or fifty people in later generations is not available in the Ming Dynasty for the time being.

Why do you have to spend money everywhere?

But at this point, it won't work if you don't spend money, and the lord of Zhenla said, "I don't know how much it's worth if you spend money on a car?" ”

"Ten taels of silver per person, because the distance from here to Ying Tianfu is not close, and the road is long." Lu Zhen said.

Ten taels of silver per person?

How much money do they have to spend on more than 300 people?

Zhenla's arithmetic is not very good, at least, the lord of the country has not turned a corner for a while, and the clerk next to him has already helped him figure it out, "A total of three thousand five hundred taels of silver, may I ask you to pay the money, or do you find a way to go to Yingtianfu by yourself?" ”

"We are intercourse between nations, and our lord has come, but can we not come alone? You great countries and ceremonial nations ought to provide a thoughtful reception, and not to blackmail our money like this! ”

He was angry, and he couldn't care what would happen to Daming once he offended Daming, if he didn't theorize, he might fall into drinking the northwest wind in Daming.

He pointed to the limited amount of gifts outside, "Those are all gifts from my Zhenla to His Majesty the Emperor of your country, you have already checked them, can't those things make your country treat us politely?" ”

Lu Zhen said, "What you said is very reasonable, and I am very grateful to your country for being able to abide by the contract and send me the 100,000 taels of silver handed over to my Daming." We will also send a warship to Chenla in the near future, and at the same time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince of China will want to discuss with your country to set aside a seaport for the construction of a naval base, preferably close to Siam. “

When the lord of Zhenla heard this, he was overjoyed.

At the same time, he didn't want to conflict with Da Ming because of the trivial matter of entertainment expenses, and he was beaten, so why bother to be pinched more?

"Duty, we are here to be guests, don't offend the honorable master!" After reprimanding his subordinates, he turned to Lu Zhen and said, "Lord Lu, please send us to Ying Tianfu as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, please also tell you where you plan to live after you go to Yingtianfu, and I will arrange it for you in advance."

When he heard this, he was very alert and asked, "Could it be that accommodation also costs money?" ”

Lu Zhen was a little embarrassed, it seemed that he had to think of a way to let everyone know that in Daming, food, clothing, housing and transportation cost money, otherwise, what do the people of Daming eat and drink?

"Yes, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch."

This was said by His Royal Highness the Fourth, Lu Zhen slandered and continued, "The places where Daming can live are the guest courtyard of Honglu Temple, the guest house of Siyi Pavilion, and the guest house of the Ministry of Rites. You can also live in any restaurant in Yingtianfu, we can be responsible for your safety, in Daming, as long as you don't take the initiative to attack people, safety is not to worry. ”

What confidence can you say the last word!

Except for the Ming Dynasty, no court dared to say such a thing.

"If you want to leave tomorrow, you can also spend the night at our General Customs Office today, the building behind is a guest room, a hundred dollars a night, very clean and very comfortable."

He only felt that Da Ming was really robbing money everywhere, but from Da Ming's point of view, if it weren't for that, how much silver would they have to take out to entertain foreign guests every year?

Ji Zhi and the country lord glanced at each other, both of them wanted to arrive at Ying Tianfu as soon as possible, Ji Zhi asked, "I wonder if I can help rent a courtyard in Ying Tianfu?" Because we are planning to stay until May next year. ”

If you don't find a place to live and live in the place arranged by Daming, this will be in May next year, almost a year, and the country of Zhenla may be hollowed out.

Moreover, after they are in the Ming Dynasty, they will have to follow the local customs, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely not allow them not to wear shirts.

At this time, the Zhenla people didn't know that the autumn and winter seasons of the Ming Dynasty were still very cold, even if the Ming Dynasty allowed them to expose their upper bodies and wrap their lower bodies with a piece of cloth, and when it came to the autumn and winter, they couldn't bear it themselves, and they couldn't buy clothes to keep out the cold?

Lu Zhen quickly arranged the car, and watching the convoy leave, Lu Zhen was thinking, when will the railway be completed? By that time, a cart will be able to pull everyone away.

He couldn't help but think of the train and railroad tracks placed at the gate of the Fengtian Palace, which turned every time they arrived, attracting the attention of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty over and over again, and also touching their hearts.

The car was speeding fast, this was the first time that the lord of Zhenla sat in Daming's car, and the scenery on both sides of the road quickly retreated from the window.

Even so, the lord of Zhenla can still see the scene of the Ming Dynasty, the wide gallop road, the road is on both sides of the towering broad-leaved trees, the vehicle drives on the right, the left and right sides are two-lane plus sidewalks, and in the middle is a long narrow flower bed, the flower bed is planted with all kinds of flowers, blooming very brightly, and the energy is full in the sun.

"Stop!" The lord of Zhenla saw that there was something very strange working in the field, and he hurriedly asked the driver to stop.

The driver of Da Ming pulled the car to the right, and the interpreter asked, "Your Royal Highness, dare to ask what is the matter?" You can't urinate here. ”

"No, it's not!" Sanlie Zhaopingya got out of the car, stood on the side of the road, and looked at the field not far away, he saw that a fairy weapon was actually helping the common people do things, pointed and asked, "What is that?" ”

The translator said, "In Daming, this kind of immortal weapon is called a tractor, which can be used to help the people plow the land, and can also be used to harrow the land, which is very convenient." ”

Shen Lie Zhaopingya's mood was already very uneasy, he watched silently for a while, then turned around and got into the car.

When the car moved forward, it drove a little slower, and on the road, you could see people riding bicycles, carrying large bags full of things behind the car, driving easily on the galloping road.

"Can anyone come up on this gallop?"

"Yes." The interpreter continued to give Shen Lie Zhaoping Ya popular science, "In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court said that all public resources belong to the common people, and because of this, no one has the right to destroy these public resources, and malicious damage will be punished." ”

Not long after, Sanlie Zhaopingya has not had time to see enough, the tall and majestic city gate of Yingtianfu is in front of him, although the sun has set, but the city gate is still full of people, only a small number of soldiers on both sides are guarding, everywhere shows a prosperous and lively scene, but it is still majestic.

After entering the city, the lane suddenly became wider, and Sanlie Zhaopingya saw that there was a double yellow line in the middle of the lane, with four lanes on each side, which was very spacious, and both people and cars walked in the right lane, and pedestrians occupied the right lane.

"Lord of the country, my Ming Dynasty is waiting in the annex, and His Royal Highness will give a banquet to the lord of the country and the main entourage of your country in the annex." Translation.

Sanlie Zhaopingya was full of curiosity about the life of the Ming people at this time, he agreed while looking outside, sure enough, as the interpreter said, the girls of the Ming Dynasty were more delicate than the girls of Zhenla, he saw a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, talking and laughing through the street, they were all dressed brightly, and stopped together in front of a stall selling jewelry.

It should be that the goods are not bad, they quickly selected the jewelry, and everyone took out their purses.

"Are they all rich?" Sen Lie Zhaoping asked.

"There are many workshops in Daming, specializing in making immortal weapons, and they also recruit a lot of female workers, all of whom have their own jobs and can earn silver with their own hands."

"Why don't they get married?"

"They will also get married, and as long as they do a full year of work, even if they go home to give birth, they can still enjoy maternity leave, which will be reported by the workshop to the imperial court, and the imperial court will allocate subsidies, and each mother who gives birth and breastfeeding will receive a subsidy of fifty yuan a day."

Fifty cents? A month is a tael of silver.

Shen Lie Zhaoping was simply stunned, but Ji Zhi was thinking in his heart, hehe, no wonder Da Ming squeezed them so hard and made so much money!

Zhu Gaochi stood at the door of the guest house of the Siyi Pavilion and waited for Shenlie Zhaopingya, the car slowly slowed down and stopped, the eunuch beside Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stepped forward to open the car door, Zhu Gaochi asked Shenlie Zhaopingya to get out of the car, "Your Royal Highness, look up for a long time!" Welcome, welcome! ”

Seeing the clothes on Shen Lie Zhaopingya's body, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, why did he wear a dress that was the same as the middle coat? And the lower body, the pants are worn inside, and the outside is tied with a circle of fabric, what's going on?

It's really nondescript, but it's still much better than being naked.

The dinner is really much simpler than in the Hongwu Dynasty, a round table, a total of ten bowls of dishes, including a soup, five small plates of cold dishes, the staple food is rice.

The full set of red ground peony porcelain on the table is very delicate and magnificent, showing the graceful and luxurious bearing and extraordinary confidence of a great country.

"One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, the lord of the country must be a little unaccustomed to my Daming food, and he should taste it." After Zhu Gaochi waited for the attendant to pour wine, he raised his hand and asked.

The attendant was not a woman, but a man!

Shen Lie Zhaopingya and the others were very surprised, but it was definitely not good to ask at this time, the entrance of the wine, the smooth porcelain was attached to the lip flap, bringing a trace of coolness, the wine slid through the throat, bringing heat, and the two extreme feelings brought the ultimate enjoyment.

"Good wine!" The lord of the country sincerely praised, and looked at the excellent dishes on the table, and he was already drooling.

The tamales are padded with sweet potatoes underneath, which melt in the mouth and have a compelling aroma; The braised fish does not smell fishy at all, and it is very spicy; Coca-Cola is sweet to people's hearts, and it is a delicacy that no fruit can bring, which makes people feel comfortable.

After the dinner, Zhu Gaochi took his leave.

After accompanying Shenlie Zhaopingya to take a bath, the interpreter changed his clothes, and he proposed, "Your Royal Highness, there is no curfew in the Ying Tianfu of the Ming Dynasty, and I heard that it is very lively at night, and the lights in the palace are like a fairyland on earth. ”

Although he was a little tired, Shen Lie Zhaopingya still wanted to get to know Da Ming well before Zhu Di summoned him, so as to know himself and his opponent.

As soon as he went out, he was greeted by the boiling and noisy sky, and the people on the street were rubbing shoulders with each other, the shops on both sides were still open, and the colorful lights on the top of the palace illuminated several nearby streets, and on a few streets, the street lamps were drawn, and they were as bright as day.

"Sell wontons, cheap wontons can be sold casually, delicious and not expensive!"

"Drink Coca-Cola, a glass of Coke is worth three cents, you still want to drink it!"

"Do you drink milk tea? A cup of yogurt! ”

"Spicy chicken, roast beef and mutton, no spicy and no money!"

……

Shen Lie Zhaopingya and the others couldn't squeeze in the crowd, they couldn't get through, they walked less than half a mile, they really couldn't walk, and the priest proposed, "Lord, let's go to the teahouse next to us and sit for a while, right?" ”

That's all it can be!

They asked for a table by the window, and Shen Lie Zhaopingya found that he could clearly see the lively scene outside through the window, and couldn't help but reach out and wipe the glass on the wall, his hands were cold, and he didn't know what it was, he just felt that it was very magical.

He asked for a pot of tea and some snacks, and planned to eat and look at it.

After a while, an aging man came in, saw Shen Lie Zhaopingya and the others, was slightly stunned, walked over, and pointed to one of the empty seats, "Dare to ask, can you sit here?" ”

The Chinese spoken by this person was not authentic, and the interpreter translated the middle-aged man's words to Samlie Zhaopingya, and told him his guess, "The little one thinks that this person is not a Ming person." ”

"You may be seated!" Sanlie Zhaopingya raised his hand and let go of the man, and he could see that this person looked like a species like the Wako.

He heard about the Ming Dynasty's wanton and indiscriminate bombing of the coast of Japan, and heard that all the ships and personnel of the so-called Japanese stronghold on Xiaoliuqiu Island were killed.

What Ami didn't know was that there were still two of those Japanese who were alive, Ogasawara Nagakatsu and the little soldier who reported the news.

They evaded the search of the Ming Navy, picked up a few ship boards, tied them into a decree with rattan, and returned to Songpu County to report the news with the intention of death. On the way, lacking food, Ogasawara Nagakatsu killed the soldier, drank his blood, and finally returned to Matsuura County with his life.
