Chapter 22 You see, he slandered me, he slandered me!

Ambassador Yang ......

Ambassador Yang actually gave each other a step down with Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, everyone needs to be mature and rational until now.

Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to kill him, for sure.

His Majesty the Emperor was ready to take him for himself from the very beginning.

A treasure like him is an irresistible temptation for any eloquent monarch, he is much stronger than a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and for Zhu Yuanzhang, the beauty of the country and the city is at his fingertips, but a treasure-type man like him is purely a miracle of pie in the sky.

So, to conquer!

Let him willingly fall at his feet.

But Yang Feng refused to give in, always resisting him, and finally made His Majesty the Emperor want to stop.

Now it's just a step for each other, and it's a draw in the first leg, and everyone doesn't hurt face, so there's a temporary halftime.

Wait for the next round.

Next round......

"Ambassador Yang, this is the Ming Dynasty, you should follow the Ming courtesy, and when you meet Your Majesty, you should serve the Ming Dynasty, and perform five bows and three bows."

Cao Yangzhi, an official of the palace etiquette department, said.

"Yang is an envoy of our country, and he has equal relations with the Ming Dynasty, and he is not a vassal who comes to pay tribute, if he wears the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, it is tantamount to treason, does your country encourage treason? As for the ritual of five bows and three bows, my country has long since abolished, and I have bad legs and feet, so I can't bend my knees. ”

Yang Feng said.

So Zhu Yuanzhang is waiting for him here!

As an envoy, he is going to formally meet His Majesty the Emperor and hand in the letter of state, the letter of state is very easy to do, even if he can't write calligraphy, you can also let Xiaoyu do it for you, this little girl still knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is estimated that she also has the ideal of fighting in the palace, but she is just making people and being thrown to take care of a little child, and now she is thrown over by the little child to take care of him, and in the end she can only pack up her ambitions and feed the pigs honestly......

Also feed the chickens.

But for Yang Feng, there is also the necessary audience for the official envoy.

This is to kneel, and to make a big salute, five bows and three bows, the highest level of the Ming Dynasty to the emperor.

"Ambassador Yang, since your country is here for friendly relations, you should know how to respect the Ming Dynasty, that is, to go to other people's homes as a guest, there is also a guest to take care of the host, no matter what the etiquette of your country is, in the Ming Dynasty is to abide by the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

I am a country of etiquette, and this etiquette must not be sloppy.

And the courtesy is a mutual courtesy, I Daming treats you with courtesy, and you want to be rude to Daming, is it the same in your country? ”

Cao Yangzhi said.

"The salute is mutual, do I give your emperor five bows and three bows, and he also gives me five bows and three bows?"

Yang Feng said with a pure face.

"Bold, it's simply rebellious and rude, Your Excellency is just coercing the art of the left way, confusing the public with evil words, Your Majesty just wants to see what you want, so forbearance, but Your Excellency thinks that you have a will, so rampant, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will condemn you, let you go to that Dharma field to suffer the three thousand six hundred knives?"

Cao Yangzhi couldn't help but shout angrily.

"You see, he slandered me, he slandered me, I am the envoy of Great Xia, who came from six hundred years later, to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, which was confirmed by your emperor, but you say that I am a left-handed trick to confuse the public, you mean that your emperor's holy decree is nonsense, he is deceiving the people of the world? Cao Xuban, you are so bold, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, but you criticize your emperor, I want to ask, are you Ming officials so rampant? ”

Yang Feng shouted.

Cao Yangzhi took a deep breath......

"A certain is loyal to His Majesty, and he doesn't bother you as an outsider."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and flicked his sleeves back.

Because I was in a hurry, I stepped on a pit on the mountain road, and almost fell on the next to me.

"His heart is empty, his heart is empty!"

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador Yang's unintentional words may cause the innocent to be ruined."

Zhang Xianzong, who had been watching from the side, said quietly.

Zhang Hanlin is now the Ming Dynasty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Daxia......

Since it is an equal diplomatic relationship, of course, the Ming Dynasty also needs to have an ambassador, but the Ming Dynasty does not have a time travel machine, and it is impossible to send Ambassador Zhang to six hundred years later, that is, he can only work in Yang Feng's embassy, so there is another tent on Wutai Mountain, and poor Zhang Hanlin can only come to blow the wind together. However, the Ministry of Industry has already arranged for people to carry out surveying and planning here, and even some people are already cleaning up the top of the mountain, and then an embassy will be built for Yang Feng, and Zhang Hanlin will of course work in this embassy.

"What does that have to do with me? Your emperor, life and death, whoever he is willing to kill and the whole family will be unlucky, what does it have to do with me, an outsider.

But can you tell me if you civil servants are all in the same mind as him? ”

Yang Feng said.

"Zi Bu is strange and confused, not to mention what Your Excellency said is even more ridiculous, not only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but also the contemptible people actually don't believe it, as for Your Excellency's things, it is nothing more than the art of the left way, since ancient times, there are many people who want to use the left way to enter the body, Your Excellency is just not taking the usual path, but Zhang is very curious, when is Your Excellency going to play this scene?"

Zhang Xianzong sat down on a rattan chair and said.

It is estimated that he has completely despaired of the future, and he has broken the jar, but it is understandable that the original Hanlin Academy can be said to have an infinitely bright future......

"Do you know how your original history ended?"

"Please advise."

"You mixed very well in the Hongwu Dynasty, and in a few years you will be promoted to the Ministry of Works, and then the emperor died and then because of some changes that I can't say, he was exiled to Xingzhou, where he ate sand for many years, and then the emperor conscripted Jiaozhi, you went with the army, and was appointed as the first Jiaozhi political envoy, because he couldn't stand the hot climate there and died of illness in office, and he was only forty-six when he died."

Yang Feng said.

I've already asked the squad leader to check it for him.

After all, he had met so few people in the Ming Dynasty in the past few days.

The little princess also checked, she lived a long life, and lived until the Baozong period, that is, she was a young widow, and she was widowed until she was eighty-three.

But her mother is a tribute with a stick.

"It's not worth it."

Zhang Xianzong said indifferently.

Obviously, they don't believe in this kind of nonsense.

"Forty-six died."

Yang Feng emphasized.

"There are no regrets in this life when you are not confused, not to mention that there are six more years, the eldest husband is determined to serve the country, and he can open up territory for the country, even if he dies in a foreign land, what does it matter?"

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Ambition, your home is Ninghua, Wuyi Mountain is a tea producing area, I have a new way to make tea, which can keep tea for a longer time, even if it travels across the ocean, it can be more popular overseas."

"Tea official camp, baht two are not allowed to go out of the customs, you want to lure me and other crimes? And Wuyi mountain tea is a tribute, what kind of tea is made There are regulations, who do you want to sell new tea to? ”

"Uh, tea is still so troublesome?"

"Tea? Your Majesty exchanges tea for more than 10,000 war horses from the Western Domain every year, do you want to spoil the imperial court's horse administration? The last one who tried to get involved in tea was His Majesty's concubine, who was beheaded by His Majesty, and the concubine couldn't touch something, and you let me be a seven-rank official? ”

"But my new tea lasts longer."

"Tea is unique to the Ming Dynasty, out of the customs is the tea and horse market, those herdsmen in the Western Domain have tea to drink, as for the good and bad are the same, that is, to mix them with leaves, they also have to drink, and it is not the Ming Dynasty begging them to drink tea, they themselves do not drink tea and get sick, so why do I have to care about the quality of tea? The tea leaves that the government and they trade with each other are often blistered and rotten, don't they have to drink it? ”

"That's not good, people are customers, and people have the right to ask us to make something more palatable."

"Oh, they have the right not to drink, too!"

Zhang Xianzong said.

Well, that's how arrogant the seller's market is.

"Your Excellency instead of thinking about the Ming tea, or think about how you end up next, this is not that you were summoned by Your Majesty before, at that time you were just a foreign people, not a number of etiquette, Your Majesty's summoning is just like summoning a savage, and some omissions in etiquette are insignificant, but this is a formal audience, diplomatic envoys, even if Your Majesty also needs to follow the etiquette, do you still want to avoid these five bows and three knocks?"

Zhang Xianzong said.

"He summoned me, and it wasn't that I wanted to see him, so I had to bow five times and knock three times and then I wouldn't be there!"

Yang Feng said.

As soon as he finished saying this, Cao Xuban came back with a gloomy face......

"Your Majesty has a decree, if the envoy of Great Xia has bad legs, he will be exempted from the audience, and the diplomatic relations between Daxia and Great Xia have been completed, and there is no need for more red tape."

He said.

"Cao Xuban, you can fly, it's only been a few minutes, and you have already traveled back and forth from the palace here."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Cao Yangzhi brushed his sleeves and left.

"This time it's really gone."

Yang Feng looked at his back and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang had long known that he would definitely not go to worship and knock three times, and even foresaw that his legs and feet were not good, but these civil officials were not angry, after all, just like Zhang Xianzong said, the civil officials just regarded him as a leftist or a demon, and his modern things were nothing more than witchcraft in their eyes, and he wanted to confuse Zhu Yuanzhang with witchcraft. Letting such a demon run rampant is undoubtedly an insult to these so-called sage disciples, so I want to teach him a lesson, and give him a disgrace through this audience.

But his dead pig is not afraid of boiling water......

Stick to your principles.

So it can only be pulled down.

Zhang Xianzong looked at him with interest, and it was obvious that he was also surprised by this result.

"Let's continue to talk, what else can you Daming do casually, salt is definitely not good, what about iron? Is iron also a government camp? ”

Yang Feng asked.

"Iron, at present, there are both official and private enterprises, the government loses officials, and the private sector is taxed, but there is too much iron, some official metallurgy has been closed in previous years, and this year's inventory has decreased, and His Majesty has ordered it to be reopened."

"Too much iron? There's too much of this? How much iron do you produce a year? ”

"In the past few years, I don't know very well, there is a fixed number of official metallurgy, more than 8 million catties per year, 15 taxes for civil metallurgy, and a tax on official metallurgy plus civil metallurgy a year, about 18 million catties."

"Wait a minute, I need to use a calculator, 18 million minus 8.5 million for us to calculate Guanye, there are 9.5 million left, multiply by fifteen, add 8.5 million, a pound in the Ming Dynasty is 600 grams, so you produce 90,000 tons of iron a year?"
