There are only two people in the hall, Chang Feng and Nine Girls, lonely men and widows, living alone in one room.

It's the middle of spring, and the weather is getting warmer. The Nine Girls were not very well dressed. Plus her slightly flirtatious eyes and tone......

Twenty-two-year-old Chang Feng is strong. In this ambiguous environment, there is a sudden primal impulse.

He is controlling, controlling, and controlling. Finally, reason triumphed over impulse.

There are dozens of robes standing in the courtyard. You can't let dozens of people listen to the foot of the bed.

So Chang Feng changed the topic: "That Gonggong Li outside likes silver very much."

The ninth girl understood: "It's not the first time I've dealt with the government. Whether it's the head catcher of Shuntianfu or the errand of the Criminal Department. As long as you have the money, who doesn't want to pluck the feathers of geese."

"The father-in-law in the palace thinks it's pretty much the same."

"It's not like five out of a hundred. I'll leave two for Gonggong Li, and two for Brother Chang. I'll keep only one for myself."

"If you don't have enough, you can give Ah Mei as a reward for nothing."

Nine girls are very good at doing things. She knows in her heart that she wants to help the official's family do business, and she doesn't want to take the big head.

Chang Feng said, "I'll forget it. Don't be short, just take Grandpa Li's share. Alright, let's get out of here."

Chang Feng and the Nine Girls walked to the door of the hall.

Chang Feng walks ahead. The Nine Girls took advantage of his unpreparedness and launched a shameless sneak attack. Pinch his ass hard.

Chang Feng stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold.

The ninth girl covered her mouth and chuckled, and said loudly, "Oh, why doesn't Brother Chang look at the soles of his feet!"

Chang Feng was taken advantage of, and it was difficult to make a noise. With an embarrassed face, he crossed the threshold and walked out of the hall.

Li Guang drank tea and asked in a gloomy voice, "Have you negotiated?"

Chang Feng said: "It's settled."

Then Chang Feng attached to Li Guang's ear: "Five out of a hundred. The ninth girl is willing to give you two, and she will keep three."

Li Guang firmly believes in a common saying: cheap does not take advantage of the bastard's temperament.

Hearing that there was a benefit, Li Guang's brows stretched, and he didn't have the unruly expression just now, and he smiled, "How do you say this. Then I'll leave this matter to the Nine Girls."

"Chang Qianhu, I'll go back to the palace, and you can also go back to Jinyiwei."

Chang Feng and Xu Fatzi returned to Jinyiwei.

A wrestler stepped forward: "Chang Qianhu, Xu Deputy Qianhu." Father-in-law Huai'en and Commander Zhu are invited."

The two of them came to the command room.

Huai En smiled and said, "Eldest grandson, the emperor just ordered a beautiful thing for you to do."

Chang Feng asked, "Are you talking about the errand of exchanging treasures for money and food?"

Wynne shook his head slightly, "No. On the first day of this month, the excerpt of the Fujian political envoy arrived. The excerpt said that the Oyster Mirror Mazu Temple was completed, and asked the imperial court to send people to worship."

"The Emperor has spoken. Yang Tinghe, the director of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, sent an envoy to Fujian. Five other envoys were also sent."

"Five deputy envoys, one for Li Guang, one for you, and one for Xu Shizi. And two little uncles."

"That's a beautiful thing!"

Let Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the two little demon kings of the mixed world, go to Fujian with Zhu Ji at the suggestion of Emperor Hongzhi.

The reason given by Zhu Ji is: The two uncles are young, so they should go to Beijing more on errands, first, to see and hear for a long time, and second, to have more experience.

In fact, Zhu Ji was suspicious of the two of them for making Jinyiwei jump and be solemn.

A few days ago, these two little devils got a big bear in the palace beast park to the Jinyi Guard School Field, and let their wrestlers wrestle with the big bear.

If Zhu Ji hadn't stopped it in time, I am afraid that someone would have died.

Jin Yiwei went from Zhu Ji to the bottom wrestler, and whoever saw these two little devils had a headache.

Only Chang Feng is not afraid of them.

Empress Zhang repeatedly told her two younger brothers: Chang Qianhu of Jinyiwei is the benefactor of our Zhang family. You have to dare to bare your teeth in front of him, and I will let you smash your ass.

Chang Feng asked, "Godfather, when will my grandson leave?"

Wynne said, "The sea festival is set for June

The sixth day of the first month. You'll be in time to leave at the end of March. First go to Hangzhou via the canal, and then go east to Ningbo. Take a sea boat from Ningbo to Fujian oyster mirrors."

Chang Feng counted the time: "Godfather, you know, Xiao Yan should have a baby in July. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until August......

Zhu Ji scolded him: "Compared with official affairs, private affairs are nothing. Do you want to abolish the public for your own sake?"

Huai En was a little unhappy: "I said Commander Zhu, can you not be the same as if someone owes you two coins of silver and will not pay it back?"

"Chang Feng is our own people. Do you need to rebuke him all day?"

"The authority of the boss is not established by swearing."

Compared with Huaien, Zhu Ji doesn't know how to be a good official at all.

Zhu Ji said: "My father-in-law taught me a lesson. Keep it in mind for your subordinates."

Turning his head, Huaien said to Chang Feng again, "Xiao Yan, don't worry. I'll take care of it. As soon as it is July, I will find an old lady in the palace who specializes in midwifery, and live in your house."

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Grandpa Xie."

Wynne said, "You can do the sale of the treasure first. It's still a month before we set off."

"If you can't finish this errand before you leave, I'll let Sun Luan and Xiao Jing take over."

"By the way, Yang Tinghe is a very capable person. He is not as high as your five lieutenants, but he is the chief priest."

"Don't put on a show in front of him along the way. Take the time to meet him at the Ministry of Rites and get to know him."

Chang Feng listened to Wynne's words very much. The next day, he came to the Ministry of Rites to find Yang Tinghe. However, Yang Tinghe was told that he went to the Siyi Pavilion and met with the envoy of the vassal state.

The Siyi Pavilion was the place where the envoys of the vassal states lived when they entered Beijing.

Because of the frequent wind, I still have to go to Xiangxi Lane to talk to the nine girls about selling treasures. He didn't have time to wait, so he simply rode to the Siyi Pavilion.

Twenty-nine-year-old Yang Tinghe was receiving a delegation.

This mission comes from the sewers of the earth's civilization from ancient times to the present, the moral splendor of human beings, and the country of birds and beasts that emphasize small things and have no great righteousness: the Wa Kingdom.

Chang Feng entered the Fangchun Courtyard of the Siyi Pavilion.

A large table was set up in the courtyard. The table was full of swords.

Yang Tinghe was negotiating the price with the Japanese envoys.

The Ming Dynasty strictly forbade the people to conduct maritime trade with vassal states. However, the imperial court was allowed to engage in official trade with vassal states in the form of forced buying and selling.

This official form of trade is called the tributary system.

The tribute system was determined by the grandfather.

For example, the most demanded specialty of the Ming Dynasty is the Japanese sword.

In the name of paying tribute, you can bring a batch of Japanese swords to the Ming Dynasty.

Don't let you pay in vain. We can convert the sword into silver taels. and I will give you silk, tea, porcelain, and other things of equal value.

However, how much your sword is worth, we have the final say.

How much our silk and tea are worth is still up to us.

Think it's unfair? Think Da Ming is domineering? It doesn't matter, then we don't do this business!

Whether it is the Wa Kingdom, or the small states of Chaoyu and Yang, Annam, and Nanyang, they all have a rigid demand for the goods of the Ming Dynasty.

The tribute trade was an absolute seller's market. Therefore, the vassal states can only grit their teeth and suffer losses.

The tribute system set by the great grandfather seems to be a perfect system that benefits the Ming Dynasty without harm.

However, no matter how perfect a system is, it needs people to enforce it.

More than 120 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this system has gradually changed.

The reason for the change of taste lies in the word "fool".

For example, the Ministry of Rites negotiated with the Japanese envoys to exchange 20,000 catties of tea for 1,000 Japanese knives.

The Ministry of Rites will send a document to the governor of Zhejiang: I hereby collect 1,000 tribute knives from the Japanese state in the capital. In the near future, the Japanese ship will go to Ningbo, and hand over 20,000 catties of tea to you.

In return, the tea should have been selected for the best tea.

The governor's yamen handed over the errand to the political envoy's yamen, and the high-grade tea would become medium-grade tea. The goose plucked the middleman to make a difference.

The political envoy Yamen was handed over to the Ningbo Prefect's Yamen, and the medium tea leaves would become inferior teas.

Finally, it was handed over to Dinghai County. Inferior tea leaves turn directly into high crushes.

Too high crushed and poor quality? You don't want to! is so high, how many small states want to kowtow and beg for it.

The foolishness of the Ming government led to the rampant coastal smuggling trade and pirates and pirates.

Chang Feng is about to see this.

(Chapter 97 is mistyped.) The envoy who sacrificed Mazu was Yang Tinghe, not Yang Yiqing. Because I found that I overlooked one point, Yang Yiqing is notoriously ugly in the history books. It is impossible to serve as the chief priest of the capital of the king. Changed. ）
