Wang Chonggu is not prevaricating, but his ability and the status quo do not allow him to do it, there are only two people who can promote this matter, that is, Zhang Juzheng and His Majesty, in Zhang Juzheng's fundamentalist class theory, the emperor is a separate class, a detached class that cannot and will not be wrong, so there is actually only one person who can do this matter, that is, Zhang Juzheng, who is a courtier.

The emperor can choose to support, because the emperor came forward to promote the Juntian service, and there was a big mess, and there was no way to end it, this is the traditional rule of the game, such as Shang Yang who changed the law, such as the mistake of cutting the domain, such as Wang Anshi who implemented the new policy, such as Yu Qian, who abolished the emperor and supported the new emperor, such as the current Zhang Juzheng.

When the courtiers promote great changes, causing irreversible and bad consequences, the courtiers take responsibility, and the cost of taking responsibility is to kill the official, kill the head, and punish the clan.

Now the issue is stuck here, Wang Chonggu has put it forward, and someone needs to implement it.

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said, "The minister will preside over this matter." ”

There are too many lice, there are really too many lice on Zhang Juzheng's body, the test is successful, Qingzhang, six volumes and one account, rectification of academic politics, Daming Huidian, not to give the clan relatives to make a living (the county king below his own way of living) and so on, Zhang Juzheng offended the village gentry, famous families, powerful and powerful right, the world's hundred officials who elected officials, hereditary martial arts, clan relatives, and even the emperor, it can be said that he has offended all the classes except the poor coolies.

Zhang Juzheng's new five things are sparse, confirming the emperor's five obligations, that is, stipulating and limiting the emperor's responsibilities, Zhu Yijun himself is not dissatisfied with this, and in-depth implementation, Zhu Yijun believes that rights and responsibilities are equal, since it is supreme, it is necessary to fulfill its own duties.

But this matter itself is of the same nature as Gao Gong's desire to knock out the celebrant and eunuch, it is an encroachment, and it is an usurpation of the power of the Lord.

"Sir, this matter is a big matter, but I think we can start by checking the number of Dingkou, find out the Dingkou, and then determine the superior and inferior departments, divide the fertile and barren, etc., and all the numbers are broken." Zhu Yijun said.

The high and low branches, not every acre of land is fertile and often three crops a year, but also according to local conditions, the acres of fields are divided into three grades, and the standard of grading is fertile and barren, silting and opening up, which were marked in the Hongwu years.

"Obey." Zhang Juzheng bowed to the leader's order.

Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, has never let Zhang Juzheng be isolated, since the assassination of the king, Zhang Juzheng used the emperor's assassination in exchange for the implementation of the examination law, the Ministry of Shangshu and Yang Bozhishi, Zhu Yijun has been supporting Zhang Juzheng, to make it clearer, it is not the emperor's connivance, Zhang Juzheng's new policy, will only be blocked everywhere.

This time, too, Zhu Yijun gave an order, and it was a very clear order, let Zhang Juzheng check Dingkou to make the yellow book, and the responsibility was still borne by Zhang Juzheng, but he was ordered to act.

is still the same sentence, he wants to see whether it is the world that is sinful, or the world that is sinful.

In the original history, there was an incident that made Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng completely break up, that is, in November of the eighth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli had a night banquet in the palace.

Emperor Wanli was strictly managed by the Queen Mother and Zhang Juzheng, has been cautious, and finally under the leadership of a eunuch named Sun Hai, the emperor opened the door to the new world, he had a night banquet in the palace, so happy, after getting drunk, he took the eunuchs on a rampage, let the two palace maids dance, the palace maids will not, the eighteen-year-old Wanli Emperor was angry, and wanted to behead the palace maids to show the public.

In the end, the trouble was fierce, and the Wanli Emperor shaved the palace maid's braids, which was a symbolic beheading.

This farce happened at the end of November, but it broke out in early December, Empress Dowager Li was furious when she learned about it, and took Emperor Wanli to the Taimiao, Empress Dowager Li cried, and Emperor Wanli also cried, and then Empress Dowager Li issued an order to let the cabinet prepare a note of guilt, and let Emperor Wanli read it in Taimiao.

The eighteen-year-old Wanli Emperor was very dissatisfied, and immediately issued an edict saying: I have repented, Sun Hai is a guest, and I will be tempted to do everything to do everything. Naitu I was happy for a while, Ah Shun did not speak, thanks to the mercy of Our Lady, now I have changed my ways, and I have chased away the evil spirits, but in the future, there are such villains who will play with the same name.

was dragged to the temple by the Empress Dowager Li to teach a lesson, that is a matter in the door, the guilty note is absolutely unreadable, the emperor issued an edict of guilt, what does it mean is self-evident, the Empress Dowager Li is deep in the inner palace is not clear, and the Wanli Emperor still understands.

Empress Dowager Li was even more dissatisfied, and demanded to kill Sun Hai, the eunuch who seduced the emperor's absurdity, and issued an edict to the cabinet, so that Zhang Juzheng could lead the ministers to admonish Sun Hai and other eunuchs on the spot.

The Empress Dowager wanted to kill Sun Hai and these eunuchs, and the Wanli Emperor wanted to be reduced to a small firefighter (chopping wood) and sent to Nanjing.

On the one hand, the queen mother, on the other hand, the emperor, Zhang Juzheng's cabinet was in a dilemma, and finally admonished: send Sun Hai and other eunuchs to the miasma of the land. This is a kind of muddy approach, a compromise, increase some punishment, but do not kill, so that everyone has a face.

Emperor Wanli was very satisfied with Zhang Juzheng's attitude, so he wrote a notebook and gave it to Zhang Juzheng, and said that Mr. should persuade me again, and should handle state affairs carefully instead of wasting schoolwork.

Zhang Juzheng replied very cautiously: The ministers were separated from the outer court and did not dare to believe the rumors, and the court officials did not see any shortcomings, so they did not dare to speak in vain.

The meaning of Zhang Juzheng's words is very clear: the night banquet is a small problem, and the imperial court is not missing, so he doesn't care about it.

Empress Dowager Li was still dissatisfied, and after conducting an in-depth investigation of the case, she listed the eunuchs Sun Dexiu and Wen Gong as accomplices, and asked Zhang Juzheng to lead the cabinet ministers to behead the public again to set an example.

At this point, Zhang Juzheng, the master who pretended to be confused, was still pretending to be confused, and he never submitted the crucial "Notes of Guilt" to the palace.

Emperor Wanli, Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao, they never cared about the life or death of Sun Hai, Sun Dexiu, Wen Gong, Zhou Hai, these eunuchs, but revolved around the "Guilty Notes", the guilty notes were recorded in the palace, the Empress Dowager Li won, the guilty notes were not recorded in the palace, and the Wanli Emperor won.

Zhang Juzheng has always pretended to be confused, refusing to kill, only willing to exile, his attitude is very clear, Zhang Juzheng refuses to write a record of his crimes, only willing to the Holy Mother's earnest precepts, His Majesty repents and repents to prevaricate and fool.

The Wanli Emperor during the rebellious period became more and more rebellious, and the things he did became more and more absurd, and the night banquet soon became the norm, and the Empress Dowager Li could not restrain her, so she finally moved the mind of abolishing the emperor, and a copy of "Huo Guang Biography" was transmitted to the cabinet.

Huo Guang, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, once did one thing, deposed the debaucherous emperor Liu He, the Marquis of Haidu, and replaced it with Liu Xun, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Li's meaning is very clear, you don't have to sin yourself to make a note, the absurd Wanli Emperor can't keep the ancestral foundation, so he will set up Zhu Yiyi, the king of Lu, as the emperor.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng finally couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, so he wrote down the guilty notes to the palace on the grounds of 'holy will, slightly worse than before', and finally dealt with the result, several eunuchs were demoted to small fires and placed in Nanjing, and Emperor Wanli went to Taimiao to read the guilty notes, and promised not to commit them again in the future.

The matter seems to have come to an end here, but Emperor Wanli was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's final compromise, and even did not reply to the exhortation written by Zhang Juzheng, but asked Feng Bao to hand it over directly to the Empress Dowager Li, and the Empress Dowager Li urgently agreed to the invitation and ended.

Zhang Juzheng clearly knew that there was not much time left for him, so he hurriedly promoted a whip law, but the two important prerequisites for a whip law to be carried out were that the combination of sufficient silver and harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes was not completed, and a whip law was not completed after all.

And now, Zhang Juzheng finally has enough time to slowly figure it out, so that the new deal can be more stable and stable.

In the turmoil of the abolition of the emperor, Empress Dowager Li's worries were mainly that the Wanli Emperor could not succeed and could not keep the ancestral inheritance, so the Wanli Emperor was very angry and severely punished for any ridiculous actions.

Empress Dowager Li's worries are not wrong, Emperor Wanli is indeed not a weapon, and he did not keep the ancestral foundation.

"Your Majesty, last time the Queen Mother sent an edict to the cabinet, saying that she would make up for the nine concubines, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to select beauties to enter the palace again, Your Majesty said last time that it would not be used for the time being, can this matter be dealt with by the Ministry of Rites and Rites?" Zhang Juzheng talked about an old thing.

For the sake of the sexual happiness of the two sisters, Queen Wang said that Concubine Li and Concubine Liu were pregnant and added another person, Zhu Yijun was approved, after that time, Concubine Li and Concubine Liu have been sleeping together, how conservative they were before, and how open they are now.

"Ah, I've forgotten about it, let's talk about it in triumph of the army." Zhu Yijun only remembered this matter after being reminded by Zhang Juzheng.

Queen Wang is pregnant, Concubine Ran Shu and Concubine Zhou De recovered after giving birth, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li are still not pregnant, and Zhu Yijun has never thought about it.

Now, Empress Dowager Li is not worried that Zhu Yijun will not be able to keep his ancestors if he is not successful, but feels that the emperor attaches too much importance to state affairs and ignores the harem, wishing that Zhu Yijun could feast in the palace at night, which is ridiculous.

The last time Empress Dowager Li ordered to fill the harem, Zhu Yijun didn't care about it now, he really forgot.

"The triumph of the army and the entry of concubines into the palace are not contradictory." Wan Shihe raised his doubts, the Ministry of Rites was ready, and communicated with Feng Bao, the flower and bird envoy, the emperor has been stuck, and now the reason is that the army is going out to fight.

"In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, Youzhou Jiedu made Zhang Shouqi fight with the Xi people, lost the battle but lied about the military situation, Gao Shi wrote a satirical "Yan Ge Xing", saying: The soldiers are half dead in front of the army, and the beauties are still singing and dancing." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "The front-line soldiers are already bitter and cold, and I am the son of heaven to pay tribute to the billions of trillions, so I should quit drinking and feasting to regain my life, concentrate on the heirs of Guangyin, and reward the festival to save floating expenses, but I play well to set my mind, pro-thousands of people to understand the government, and diligently lecture to govern." ”

"This is the way for the monarch to cultivate the province, the army has spent a lot of money on the battle, the army is bitter cold outside, Wen Zhen is in the Beijing division to recruit concubines, I am dissatisfied, or wait for the army to triumph."

"Your Majesty's holy virtue is revealed!" Wan Shihe only feels a headache!

I learned it, Your Majesty really learned it, Your Majesty learned the classic trick of the Confucian bachelor, chanting the scriptures!

There is a lot of nonsense that makes sense, there is no problem with this truth, the key is that Empress Dowager Li will only urge the Ministry of Rites, and it is they who are embarrassed by the Ministry of Rites!

But Wan Shi and this courtier couldn't say that His Majesty was taking concubines in the rear, and the soldiers in front would not be dissatisfied with such words, which was to persuade the emperor to be a faint king.

From Zhu Yijun's point of view, it is inappropriate to accept a concubine now, a bit like, the brothers are fighting the front line, and I have found two sisters-in-law for you in Beijing!

Isn't this nonsense?

But the Ming soldiers actually didn't care much about this, and the Ming Emperor didn't deduct their war food and salary to pay for the concubine, I will do my job, and the emperor will fulfill his promise before the war, no matter what your emperor does.

Wan Shihe really can't slander him, because His Majesty uses a light cake every day, which can be regarded as showing that Zhenwu is resolute in his will and shares weal and woe with the soldiers.

Empress Dowager Li is very dissatisfied with Concubine Li and Concubine Liu, because these two people have been in the palace for a long time, Wang Yaozhuo is pregnant with a second child, Concubine Li and Concubine Liu have occupied the emperor's time for a few months, and there is no movement.

Wan Shihe is also embarrassed, Empress Dowager Li is in a hurry, His Majesty is not in a hurry at all, he is a minister, and he can only be splinted.

"Your Majesty, the special envoy Tessie asked a few questions about the Ming campaign, and one of them was quite interesting." Wan Shihe finished talking about the matter and talked about the interesting anecdotes he had heard recently.

"What's the problem?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Wan Shihe opened his mouth and said: "Is that the gunpowder, lead and other things wasted by the Ming army during the war need to be compensated?" ”

"What do you mean? Indemnify? What compensation? Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, what kind of hellish problem is this, is he too stupid to understand the question?

Wan Shihe explained more clearly: "Not every shot will hit the enemy after firing, gunpowder is so expensive, artillery firing, no effect, partial chariots are damaged and discarded on the side of the road, this is all the armament prepared by the imperial court, so who will bear this loss?" That's the problem with Legasil. ”

"Ah this..."Zhu Yijun looked at Zeng Shengwu, the secretary of the military department, and then looked at the great Situ Wang Guoguang and the young Situ Zhang Xueyan, and said with a blank face: "I have always prided myself on being stingy, but this question is full of doubts, the soldiers fought for the Ming Dynasty and died for the country, and I still have to claim compensation for them?" ”

"It seems that I am not stingy enough, and it is not right, it is not a question of being stingy or not."

Wan Shihe looked left and right and said with a crying smile: "Honglu Temple Qing Chen Xuexue asked: Don't mention anything else, the soldier died on the battlefield, how can he claim compensation?" People are dead. Le Yashi said: He still has a family. ”

The West Flower Hall of the Da Ming Tong and the Imperial Study of the Palace was quiet, so quiet that the sound of the wind blowing through the curtain could be heard clearly.

It is difficult for Zhu Yijun to imagine that kind of scene, after the soldiers fought on the front line, Shi Langzhong, the Qing official of the Ming Dynasty, sent a bill to the other party's family: [Your son is in trouble for the country, and I inform you with great sadness. And before his death, your son used the partial chariots, firearms, long and short soldiers, armor and other special carriages raised and manufactured by the imperial court with a total value of XX taels of silver, this is the bill, after deducting the pension, there is still the remaining part will be calculated according to XX interest, overdue will be punished by XX interest, please pay as soon as possible, thank you and your family for your contribution to the dynasty. ]

"This can't be summed up in simple cultural differences, is this the documentary literature of the Merchant of Venice?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and finally asked his doubts.

Really do this, Zhu Yijun felt that he still screwed his head off and kicked the ball for the soldiers, saving the intermediate links, and it was already outrageous that the Ming Dynasty did not pay full salaries before, and claimed war losses from the soldiers...

Wan Shihe said with a smile: "I don't know, Chen Xuexue can only express shock and puzzlement about this. ”

"Haha." Zhu Yijun and the ministers all laughed, and the West Flower Hall was filled with cheerful air.

Even if it is Tessie, the loss of the Spanish army in the war will not ask the soldiers for compensation for the loss of equipment on the front line, and only the Venetian merchants in the whole Tessie will be like this, which is somewhat similar to the light merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and Tessie also hates the Venetian merchants.

Collecting the bones and official burials, offering sacrifices and condolences and blessings, building ancestral temples, giving funeral expenses, sending envoys to condole, exempting from military service, making up for heirs, and giving preferential treatment to the bereaved family members are all clearly written bereavement provisions, such as: the dead and sick soldiers will be given one stone for funeral expenses, and they will be given five years, and half of the dead will be given in the camp; The soldiers who were wounded in the war were removed from their nationality, and they were given three years, and the generals were killed, and their sons were hereditary, and one rank was added.

Exhaustion festival in the country, virtue in the people, set up an ancestral hall to give the amount, build a temple to pay tribute, this is every loyal and brave martyr's shrine, there will be a sentence, from the emperor's handwriting, the past dynasties are like this.

In many places, the Loyal and Brave Martyrs' Shrine is used as a city god temple and the land lord, and the people spontaneously worship it.

On May 12 of the ninth year of Wanli, the light rain in the heavenly street was like a crisp, the Ming Dynasty gradually entered the rainy season, the rainy season of the grassland was later than the original, and the Ming army was still continuing, and the Ming Songjiang City Bosi ushered in a special fleet.

The Daming exploration fleet led by Xu Jiugao and Liu Ji finally returned to Songjiang Mansion again after a whole year of sailing and completed the round-the-world voyage.

Songjiang Fuxingang is the busiest port in Daming, there is no one, Songjiang Governor Shen Shixing could not order to close the port to welcome the return of the exploration fleet, but Shen Shixing still cleared a section of the channel, so that five five-masted ships and one stargazer sailed into the berth smoothly.

Outside the new port, the waiting barge finally saw the sentry post on the top of the seafaring ship, the seabirds were not afraid of life, and landed on the mast, the canvas of the galleon gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision, the Big Dipper flag continued to roll in the sea breeze, and when approaching the port, the five galleons gradually dropped the canvas, and the barge threw the rope to the big ship.

The barge dragged five galleons to the port gradually, and Shen Shixing saw this scene and walked down from the tide tower and came to the end of the port berth trestle, waiting for the returning warriors.

Xu Jiugao walked off the trestle, stepped on the hardened ground, chopped two feet hard, and said sincerely: "What we are under our feet is the earth, we sailed all the way east from Songjiang Prefecture, passing through Ryukyu Naha, Wakoku, Mexico, Peru, the Strait of Magellan, Rio de Janeiro, Natal, Freedom City, arrived at Tessirisbon, and from Lisbon, passed through Liberty City, Cape of Good Hope, Compass Zhengfeng, Slow Basa, Malin, Guli, Malacca, Manila, and returned to Songjiang Province. ”

"The world is big, we're back, and the earth under our feet is indeed a ball."

Xu Jiugao, Liu Ji and other Ming Dynasty a total of 1,300 military and boat divisions, etc., completed the first circumnavigation of the Ming Dynasty, they are all studying in the Songjiang Maritime Academy, although they have many times from the Royal Academy of Maritime Affairs written on the "Maritime Tongjian", learned that the earth is a ball, and it is a ball with an inclined angle, so that there are four seasons of cold and summer, but did not personally go to it, it is not practice.

Da Ming finally completed his first round-the-world voyage, and it has been a full sixty years since Tessie completed his first round-the-world voyage.

The total mileage of this voyage exceeded 160,000 miles, which is equivalent to 50 round-trips from Beiya to Nanya, and was divided into six sections, the Pacific section, the Strait of Magellan section, the upper Atlantic section, the lower Atlantic section, the Western Ocean section, and the South Ocean section, which filled a large number of gaps in the star map, needle map, and Kanyu map in the global voyage of the Ming Dynasty, and also completed the preliminary globe drawing, which confirmed the conjecture that the sea and land and the sea were connected, and also determined a basic fact, that is, with the wooden sailing ship, the Ming Dynasty could also cross any ocean.

Similarly, this circumnavigation of the world is also a voyage to open up the Maritime Silk Road, after the Ming Dynasty has its own needle map, you can really realize ocean commerce, and the five-masted ocean ship is finally no longer a virtual appearance, but worthy of the name.

Xu Jiugao, Liu Ji and others were very excited, but not as excited as they imagined, along the way, they also found that the exploration of the Ming Dynasty on the sea lagged behind a full sixty years, which made the self-proclaimed Ming Dynasty of the Heavenly Empire, in fact, difficult to accept, although they had already clearly known this fact.

The sun never sets in the empire, Taixi has already done it, so the Ming Dynasty prides itself on the Heavenly Empire, and this achievement naturally has to be fought for.

When Antonio and Li Yashi represented Felipe II, they met the Ming Emperor for the first time in the first year of Wanli and claimed to be the empire on which the sun never sets, Zhang Juzheng had already realized the seriousness and urgency of this problem.

"Welcome home." Shen Shixing, Songjiang General Chen Lan, Songjiang Town Governor Zhang Jin and others welcomed Xu Jiugao and other soldiers home.

Compared with Magellan and Francis Drake's first round-the-world exploration, which took two to three years, Daming only took one year and one month.

First, thanks to the Daming ships, the five-masted ship is still the fastest ship, the largest loading capacity, and the strongest wind and wave resistance ship in the world, and five ships were dispatched at one time; Second, thanks to the fact that before departure, the Ming Dynasty already had some of the proven charts, the needle maps and star charts of the Oriental section, the Western section, and part of the Pacific section; The third is because the Ming exploration fleet has clearly known that the earth is a ball before it set off, and the purpose is clear and not unknown; Fourth, because of precision manufacturing, Daming has more advanced navigation instruments, and the stargazer is an extremely professional observation ship, responsible for pilotage.

Shen Shixing did not immediately wash the dust for Xu Jiugao and other soldiers, after they had a simple meal, they would immediately set off for Tianjin Wei, to the Beijing Dynasty to meet, only after the face of the saint to return to life, will they rest, Shen Shixing, Chen Ling and others, with Xu Jiugao, Liu Ji came to the huge dock.

"What is this?" Xu Jiugao looked at the huge dock and skeleton in front of him in horror, and asked sluggishly.

There are two docks, in which there are two huge keels, hundreds of works are being carried out around the dock, everywhere are busy craftsmen, all kinds of materials are constantly loaded on the ship, there are craftsmen holding spray guns, burning red rivets, forging hard, scaffolding are all craftsmen running to install the ship's planks, meticulously building.

"The Dragon, the Dragon, the Dragon, the Dragon, the other ship is the Feiyun, the Flying Cloud Ups and Downs, and the Dapeng carries the wind." Shen Shixing looked at the two fast sailboats, full of ambition.

The emperor gave two million silver, Wang Daokun tried his best to fight for it, saying that one million silver was enough, but the emperor gave more, so he directly tried to produce two, compared with the Youlong, the hull of the Feiyun is more narrow and long, just from the skeleton, you can see the difference.

"The Youlong is a sealed boat, mainly carrying cargo, and the Feiyun is a warship, it only has three masts, but its speed is faster than the Youlong, mainly equipped with artillery, a total of one hundred and twelve guns, in comparison, the Youlong is more like a merchant ship, a flagship, and is not suitable for combat, while the Feiyun is more suitable for warships in terms of speed and firepower." Shen Shixing briefly introduced the Feiyun, the design skeleton of the Feiyun has been completed, but it is still not finalized.

Emperor Daming gave too much, two million silver just let the Dragon from the model to the real thing, it was too much waste, Feiyun was also in the plan, because it received full financial support, and the development was put on the agenda in advance.

Shen Shixing asked people to bring up the two models, and said: "Within two and a half years, these two ships can be launched as scheduled, and Special Envoy Xu will return to Beijing and help me bring two models to Your Majesty, Your Majesty likes these, and it can be regarded as telling Your Majesty what we have done." ”

"Well said." Xu Jiugao agreed directly without asking for any benefits, he was originally the counselor of the Songjiang Navy Division, and this time he was ordered to go to sea, and finally he had to return to Songjiang, everyone was a grasshopper on the rope of opening the sea, and helping Shen Shixing was to help himself.

Shen Shixing only made two models and sent them to Jingshi, one for His Majesty, and one for His Royal Highness King Lu, which means very clearly, Songjiang, the governor of the nine provinces, can only be the imperial party, not Zhang Juzheng's henchmen, His Majesty can order the War Bureau to make some and send it to Zhang Juzheng, but it is all a gift from His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with the ground in Songjiang.

"Special Envoy Xu is in a hurry this time, has he prepared a gift for His Majesty? I have some seafood here. Shen Shixing looked left and right and asked in a low voice.

Xu Jiugao also whispered in a low voice: "Ready, no matter how much the ceremony is, it's not too much, what good things are here?" ”

When you return from going to sea, you don't have any treasures to dedicate to Your Majesty, and you are embarrassed to say that you went to sea? Every time Zheng He came back from a trip to the West, he had to bring gifts, and once he brought back two unicorns, but everyone preferred to call them giraffes.

It is obvious that Xu Jiugao and Shen Shixing are cheating, and treat the rare treasures received by Songjiang Mansion as if they were obtained from overseas, which is a malaise of the Ming Dynasty, and the government is bribed.

"I have a twelve-pound pearl here, which is round and purple, which is the most suitable." Shen Shixing muttered quietly.

Xu Jiugao nodded and said, "I only have eight catties here, and it's better to use yours." ”

The city is known as the Son of Heaven Nanku, and this twelve-pound pearl was originally intended to be dedicated to the emperor, and in the end it all flowed into the inner pocket.
