Chapter 101: Poseidon Pearl (Four Watches)
In the Ming Dynasty, it was a felony for a merchant to trade privately with a Japanese person. What's more, the transaction is still over-controlled?
Chang Feng went back to Jinyiwei, called Xu Fatzi, ordered twenty more wrestlers, and came to the Bicui in the north of the city.
When the shopkeeper Wang Youde saw Jinyiwei, he was so frightened that his legs were weak.
Chang Feng questioned Wang Youde, "Where are the things?"
Wang Youde was in a cold sweat: "My lord, what...... What is it?"
Chang Feng said, "That pearl is bigger than an egg."
In fact, Chang Feng was used as a gun by the nine girls.
Three years ago, Wang Youde once raised nine girls in Shuntian Mansion behind his back. This old thing wants to borrow the hands of the government to eat black.
He thought that what he did was seamless, and the nine girls didn't know.
He underestimated the Nine Girls.
The Nine Girls City Mansion is very deep. The matter was not mentioned for three years. Wang Youde thought it was okay and continued to do business with her.
This time, he was planted in the hands of a young lady in her twenties.
In front of the Hades-like brocade guard, denial is useless.
Wang Youde had to honestly take out a wooden box from the warehouse.
This wooden box is carved with the god Hachiman. The god of Hachiman is the god of the Wa Kingdom. The wooden box should have come from the Wa Kingdom.
Chang Feng opened the wooden box.
He had never seen such a large bead. It's bigger than an egg. It's the size of a man's fist.
And this pearl is crystal clear. It's a peerless artifact.
Chang Feng asked Wang Youde, "Where did you get it?"
Wang Youde confessed: "This thing is not mine. It was the envoy Shangbin who lived in the Siyi Pavilion who asked me to help with the consignment."
"He asked me to exchange the Poseidon Pearl for silver, and then buy silk, porcelain, and tea and deliver it to him."
Chang Feng asked, "Poseidon Pearl? This thing is called the Poseidon Pearl?"
Wang Youde said, "Exactly."
Chang Feng interrogated again. I basically figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
This is a case of the Japanese people using tribute ships to smuggle foreign pearls.
Chang Feng guessed that the reason why the Japanese did not go through the tribute channel and exchanged the different pearls with the Ministry of Rites for goods. It should be afraid that the different beads will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites. Like a black-hearted pawnshop, the Ministry of Rites said, "This broken bead is bitten by insects and rats, and the bare board is hairless."
Just take a few thousand catties and send them away.
So the Japanese people found Wang Youde, the owner of the jade shop. Let him sell the pearls privately and exchange them for Ming goods.
The facts of the case are simple, but they involve the tributary mission.
Chang Feng can't be the master. The Ministry of Rites was informed of this.
The Ministry of Rites did not delve into the Japanese people. just sent Yang Tinghe, who was in the wind and articulate, to reprimand the Japanese envoy Shangbinxin and sternly.
Shang Binxin in order to appease the anger of the Ming court. He expressed his willingness to pay tribute to the Ming Emperor.
In fact, the Poseidon Pearl has already been detained in the hands of Jinyiwei. Even if he doesn't pay tribute, the beads are also Ming's. It's just a matter of pushing the boat down the river.
Two days later, Chang Feng came to the Qianqing Palace with the Sea God Pearl and the accounts of the sale of treasures in the past two days.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Sea God Pearl and was surprised: "What a heavenly thing. I've lived in the palace since I was a child, but I've never seen such a treasure."
"I don't dare to enjoy this celestial thing. Since the name of this thing is 'the god of the sea.' It should be used to worship the true god of the sea."
"You take this pearl to the Nanhai Mazu Temple and place it properly. As the treasure of the temple."
"All treasures are spiritual. I hope that the Poseidon Pearl has a spirit. It can bless the safety of fishermen along the coast of Fujian."
Chang Feng kowtowed: "The emperor respects the heavens and loves the people, which is the blessing of the society and the people."
Emperor Hongzhi asked again, "By the way, how are the treasures of the Inner Carrier Warehouse sold?"
Chang Feng hurriedly presented the account book: "Nearly 10% has been sold in two days. and twenty-one thousand taels of silver."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the account book and exclaimed, "It was sold so quickly. You and Li Guang are really capable."
"Twenty-one thousand taels? The Yellow River in Henan was diverted and flooded two counties. These two counties have disaster relief, reconstruction silver
It's falling!"
Emperor Hongzhi measured the value of silver, and always measured how much silver could do for the people.
Compared with Zhu Yijun, the emperor of wealth who piled millions of taels of silver in the black spots of the inner treasury in later generations, Emperor Hongzhi didn't know where it was.
Emperor Hongzhi was pleased. Li Guang, who was waiting on the sidelines, was also very happy.
Li Guang's little abacus crackled in his heart: "Two out of a hundred are mine. Twenty-one thousand taels is four hundred and twenty taels of silver."
"That's when 10% of the treasure was sold. If it's all sold, I'll get more than four thousand taels of silver!" Got rich."
When Chang Feng left the Qianqing Palace, Li Guang followed.
Li Guang said: "Heh, the ninth girl is so good at doing things. That ......."
Chang Feng knew what Li Guang meant. He lowered his voice: "The ninth girl said, your share can be sent to Xiangxi Lane to get it at any time."
Li Guang smiled, "Okay, good!"
Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei with the Poseidon Pearl. Put the Poseidon Bead in the private warehouse for safekeeping.
Jinyiwei's private treasury was built in Fusi, Beizhen. There are 200 wrestlers guarding in shifts, and it is very safe.
Only at the end of the month, he will leave Beijing with the Poseidon Pearl and go to Fujian to worship Mazu.
After a business trip, he went home.
There are already two uninvited guests waiting for him in the house.
These two uninvited guests are: the mudslide of the future foreign relatives; Today's Jinyi Wei is a little devil in the world.
The younger brother of Empress Zhang, the uncle of Xiaoguo, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.
Zhang Heling is thirteen years old, but he has the same hobby as Tangtang: licking honey.
In the courtyard of Changfu, Zhang Heling sat opposite Tangtang and licked the honey. Communicate which shop's honey is sweeter.
Zhang Yanling lacked virtue and smoked, and was poking Huzi's ass with a small branch.
Huzi is human, and seems to know that the little bastard in front of him is wearing a unicorn suit, which is bigger than Chang Fengguan, the owner who wears a flying fish. It had to go along with it.
If you were someone else, the tiger would have been rolling and biting a long time ago.
Liu Xiaoyan had a big belly and was half lying on a recliner in the courtyard.
It stands to reason that in front of the two uncles, there is no place for the five pleasant people to lie down.
But Zhang Heling said, "The eldest sister told us. You've stabbed her. It's her lifesaver."
"If you stand in front of us brothers. We're going to have to kneel!"
"You've got a baby in your belly again. If you have a tire gas to greet our brothers. My big sister can't suck our ass?"
Liu Xiaoyan had no choice but to disobey the etiquette and lie on the recliner.
Stop. These little guys can really play with Tangtang.
Zhang Heling said, "Little Sister Sugar Candy. When you're done with honey, how about my brother take you to find an ant's nest and pour boiling water?"
Zhang Yanling said, "I have twenty small whips on me. Shall we go back and blow up the pit?"
Chang Feng walked in, crying and laughing when he heard this.
On the preparation file of the East Palace audition, it was written that Zhang Fengling's two brothers: studying, no fame for the time being.
But no matter how you listen to it, these two little devils don't look like readers. How can there be a scholar who is idle and has nothing to do, take boiling water to fill the ant nest, and use firecrackers to blow up the dung pit.
I think it was the Zhang family who spent money and made a move on the backup.
The temperament of the two small uncles is described in the common saying of the common people: during the day, I wish the cows to fight, and at night I wish the ghosts to rush to the sky.
I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
