Chapter 46: The Temptation of Silk, Tea, and Porcelain
"Zhu Qianhu, I'll leave it to you here!" After Xu Huizu got the hint from Zhu Biao's eyes, he began to close his eyes and recuperate, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.
Zhu Biao nodded, and then continued to speak: "Everyone, is it good to live in my Daming territory?" ”
The elder Semu replied: "Honorable Lord Qianhu, our race has suffered many restrictions in the life of Daming. We love business, but the laws of the Ming Dynasty do not allow us to do business, and even forbid us to intermarry! ”
"The great tomorrow is rich in the world, and he is the most powerful person in the world, why do you want to embarrass my poor clansmen?"
Zhu Biao smiled coldly and replied, "So you miss Qianyuan very much?" Okay, then I will be an adult, and send all of you to the grassland, and our court will pay you for this journey! ”
"The villain doesn't dare, and the adults of the thousand households are angry!" The elder man immediately pulled his people to their knees and begged for mercy.
The so-called people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they can only beg for mercy in a low voice.
What a bunch of keyboard warriors! I like the Mongols so much, but I can't go to the steppe!
Zhu Biao scolded secretly in his heart.
"What you have experienced today is deserved, don't you have this realization?" He glanced at the other man indifferently.
The older man was a little unconvinced, and asked rhetorically, "Why did Lord Qianhu say this, we didn't make any mistakes!" ”
"Oh, really?" Zhu Biao's face was full of mockery, and he continued, "Today, this thousand households will be nagging with you. ”
Seeing this group of people kneeling on the ground, he didn't show the slightest appearance of letting the other party get up.
Zhu Biao stood upright, looked down at them and said, "Emperor Hongwu, and King Kaiping, they both lived in poor families when they were young. Their parents were forced to die by the tax collectors of the pseudo-yuan! Everyone, you must know what position your ancestors hold in the pseudo-yuan, so you don't need me to say it again, right? ”
This group of people with colored eyes is too numerous.
During the puppet Yuan period, the Mongols adopted a tax package system, and these people of color eyes were eager for the official position of tax collector, which was the most sought-after and popular job in their eyes.
"Emperor Hongwu, and King Kaiping, they didn't slaughter you, they already read that they have the virtue of a good life in heaven, and they are extremely gracious!" Zhu Biao said loudly.
Xu Huizu, who was sitting on the chair, inadvertently touched his forehead.
His Royal Highness the Prince's ability to talk like a river is really at the pinnacle.
As for how His Majesty and Uncle Chang's parents died, they didn't talk about it to anyone, but most of them couldn't do without the tyranny of the pseudo-yuan.
However, this kind of thing, he Xu Huizu didn't dare to say it openly, and Zhu Biao would not have this scruples.
When these Jews heard Zhu Biao say this, they suddenly realized that their hearts were also filled with boundless despair.
They have lived in China for so long, so they naturally know that their parents' enmity is incompatible.
These people don't doubt that what the person in front of them said is false, after all, it has only been a few years since the destruction of the former Yuan, and they know very well what their ancestors are, how greedy they are, and how many sins they have done.
Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, they are both ruthless people who make them frightened.
"So......" Zhu Biao pretended to be deep, "You don't have to complain about injustice, your ancestors are guilty, and it is natural for you to suffer for your ancestors." ”
As he spoke, he hugged his fists at the void with a straight face, and continued: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous today, so that you sinful people have a place to settle down in Daming, if it is replaced by King Kaiping to deal with this matter, with his style of acting, do you think there is still a life?" ”
"It's light to bury you alive!"
These Jews were all lying on the ground and shivering, but Xu Huizu on the side almost laughed, and he used all his strength to barely hold back.
Your Royal Highness the Prince, your father-in-law's reputation is a little stinky, but you add so much fuel and vinegar?
In Zhu Biao's description, the image of His Majesty is glorious and benevolent, while Chang Yuchun is completely brutal and negative.
"Respected Lord Qianhu, what our ancestors have done cannot be changed, and we sinners are already satisfied with living in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and we dare not have more luxury." The old man said in a low voice.
He knows that staying alive is the most important thing.
Zhu Biao felt that the heat was almost in control, and continued: "There is one thing that you need to do now. If you do that, you will enjoy the same treatment as other people in the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court will allow you to do business in the Ming Dynasty. ”
At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice and smiled intriguingly: "Aren't you Jews most fond of doing business? Thinking about the huge population of Daming, aren't you looking forward to it? ”
The older man paused, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and said in disbelief: "May I ask Lord Qianhu, what do you need me to do?" ”
Zhu Biao took a deep breath, and his face became solemn: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion in some coastal provinces has been a headache for the imperial court, since you live in the Ming Dynasty, it is time to contribute to the Ming Dynasty." ”
He glanced at Xu Huizu, who knew it was time for him to appear.
Xu Huizu coughed lightly a few times, and said: "The Japanese will not trust us Ming people, and even take precautions against us, but your appearance is very different, and you should be able to gain the trust of the Japanese Kou." ”
"Now the prince said that as long as you do this well, you will not be treated badly."
It turned out to be an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself!
These Jews, look at me, I look at you, for a moment they froze in place.
Xu Huizu suddenly clapped his palms, and his subordinates walked in very neatly carrying a few wooden boxes, and then put them in front of everyone.
"Open!" Xu Huizu said two words coldly.
The soldiers opened the wooden boxes one by one with a few clicks.
When the Jews looked inside the wooden box, their eyes were red, and they could not leave for a while, and even their breathing became short.
In these boxes, there were tea, silk, porcelain, and even silver with white flowers.
If it weren't for some fierce Ming soldiers standing in front of them, most of them would have rushed up desperately, clinging to these things and drooling all over the ground.
These things are simply too tempting, and they are the treasures that they Jews dream of.
Zhu Biao looked at their expressions, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that his plan had succeeded.
These money glutches will be willing to take any risk as long as the benefits are sufficient.
