Chapter 616: The Last Wish of the King of the Boni Kingdom
Many people take Zhu Gaochi as a mentor, so Zhu Gaochi has never led in this direction.
But in Daming, Zhu Gaochi did have a group of believers.
Among them was Liu Tong, one of the most famous contemporary writers of the Ming Dynasty, who quickly wrote the One Thousand and One Nights of Peking based on the phenomenon of the capital, as well as the ideas of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"One Thousand and One Nights in Peking".
Once published, it became a best-selling storybook.
Seeing the books in his son's study, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile, isn't this the Thousand and One Nights in the Arab region.
The One Thousand and One Nights in Arabia has the story of the fisherman and the male man, the story of Aladdin's magic lamp, and the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, so Da Ming also published the Arabian One Thousand and One Nights.
There is no Grimm fairy tale in the future in the West Zhu Gaochi does not know, there is no doubt that Daming has his own fairy tale, which comes from the hand of Liu Tong.
In "One Thousand and One Nights in Beiping", there are stories of the Seven Fairies, the story of Erlang God, etc., in addition to folk stories, there are also Liu Tong's own compilations, similar to Mr. Dongguo and the wolf.
The books "One Thousand and One Nights in Peiping" and "One Thousand and One Nights in Arabia" became so popular that someone immediately sorted out "Fables", which were used by thinkers in the Spring and Autumn Period as debates.
What "Pulling Seedlings to Grow", "Self-Contradiction", "Waiting for the Rabbit", "Carving the Boat for the Sword", "Painting the Snake and Adding Feet".
A revival of literature arose in the Ming Dynasty and became a book for children by their pillows, not only for children, but also for many adults.
Guo Shi watched it with relish.
"It seems that it is the booksellers of Daming who are the first to benefit." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
With the rise of the literacy rate, the growth of the people's living standards, the great development of printing and paper industry, and the prosperity of folk books, these story books have undoubtedly stimulated people's consumption.
Guo's face was slightly red.
The gimmick in the book says that it is the best enlightenment book for teenagers, and it is more loved by children than the traditional three-character classic, and as an adult, Guo Shi feels that he can't help but read these story books, which is an embarrassing thing.
Especially in front of my husband.
Zhu Gaochi touched Guo's face, Guo is a traditional woman and a qualified wife, Zhu Gaochi likes it very much.
None of the things at home worried Zhu Gaochi about.
"It's strange, those people came to Daming from thousands of miles away, and they didn't have any other skills, so they started telling the story first."
"Don't underestimate these stories."
Hearing Guo's words, Zhu Gaochi said solemnly: "This is the revival of literature and art, an important means to promote the development of spiritual civilization. ”
The stories that ordinary people like to see are literature.
It is the cohesion of the nation to allow most people to take the initiative to watch, everyone to read the same books and know the same stories.
What is called the same text in the book and the same track in the car, it is not enough to be prescribed by law.
Why is the Song Dynasty praised by ancient and modern Chinese and foreign scholars?
Because of the social atmosphere and model of the Song Dynasty, it was the most brilliant civilization in the world at that time.
"You can say anything." Guo Cailian rolled her eyes.
Zhu Gaochi smiled.
Although it was already night, Zhu Gaochi still took the lantern by himself and went to the room of his two sons to take a look.
Zhu Gaochi went to his daughter's room again.
Guo Cailian happily followed behind her husband, following step by step, Zhu Gaochi covered the quilt for the second daughter, waved her hand lightly to the female officer, and looked at it carefully before leaving.
"Do you want to change Mr. for Zhu Zhanji?"
Guo Cailian cleaned Zhu Gaochi's wide clothes, and after hearing it, she asked curiously about the reason.
"I heard from my eldest brother that Mr. Yu was against the imperial father at the beginning, if it wasn't for the fact that he was the imperial father's companion in his early years, maybe he would have been driven away long ago, and now let him teach Zhu Zhanji, will it make the imperial father unhappy?"
Guo Cailian said worriedly.
"No, how many years ago."
Zhu Gaochi said indifferently: "Mr. Yu's ability is still good, he can also teach, he teaches Zhu Zhanji, he is a good candidate, you don't think about it all day long, thinking too much, it's not beautiful." ”
Seeing her husband's attitude, Guo Cailian did not continue to speak.
According to the eldest brother, it is best to choose a gentleman for his son that everyone can rest assured of, but if the husband refuses, Guo Cailian will not disobey, but he is inevitably a little worried.
Zhu Gaochi fell asleep quickly, Guo Cailian couldn't fall asleep, looking at the person next to the pillow, Guo Cailian couldn't help complaining, she was very worried about this person's son, as if she was not this person's son.
"Whether it is "Arabian One Thousand and One Nights", or "One Thousand and One Nights in Beiping", or the emerging "Fables", or even "World Stories", according to the current trend, it will inevitably be an enlightenment book for all children in the future."
"Such an important thing must be strictly reviewed."
Soon, someone advocated in the newspapers.
Newspaper.
Not only the original few, but also many economically developed areas already have their own newspapers.
Eight thousand miles away.
Three fortune ships of the Ming Dynasty brought back distinguished guests, the king of the Boni Kingdom, and led a huge delegation of princesses, younger siblings, children, and ministers to come across the sea to pay tribute, and arrived directly in Shanghai County.
When the officials of the Ministry of Rites learned about it, they hurriedly sent people to Shanghai County to greet them.
The ships at the Shanghai wharf are mainly sailboats, and steam engine ships are relatively scarce, limited by manufacturing output, and are in short supply.
Ordinary boats, ordinary sailing ships are enough for use.
So every steam-engine ship is extraordinarily huge, belonging to the behemoth of the sea.
"Incredible."
The king of Boni Kingdom, from the day they arrived in Shanghai County, they were already shocked, everyone was speechless with excitement, the king's decision was really too wise.
"It is a miracle that such a huge ship can sail without wind."
When the interpreters heard the words of the other official, they couldn't help but show pride on their faces.
Shanghai's wharf, is already the most prosperous wharf in the Ming Dynasty, the largest volume of trade and transportation, there is no one, even the coastal areas of Guangdong can not catch up, although the rise of overseas trade in these years, led to the development of maritime trade in Guangdong, but the geographical conditions of the intersection of the two seas in Shanghai are really incomparable.
The goods that had been bundled into large bales and were about to be transported on the ship were piled up on the temporary warehouses on the docks, piled up in the open like hills.
Various warehouses are also transporting goods by rails.
Such a scene, I was dumbfounded, who bought so many goods? Which country can have such a large market, they can't do it.
"Dangdangdang."
The sound of the bell tower rang out.
They followed the sound and looked, and it turned out that it was not a lighthouse, but a bell tower.
The high-rise buildings on both sides of the wharf, the steam locomotive wagons in use, and the steam locomotives that run on the internal railroad tracks, as well as the vehicles that still use livestock, make this place so prosperous.
"This is the weather of the upper country, and I can't compare with the lower country."
Manajakana said respectfully.
The Ming Dynasty recovered Annam, restored the old name of Jiaozhi, and got the annexation of the city of Zhancheng, not only the Boni Kingdom, but also the Urgent Landan Kingdom, the Pahang Kingdom, the Manchurian Jia Kingdom, etc., all accepted the Ming Dynasty's division and became the subject state of the Ming Dynasty.
The footsteps of the Ming merchants traveled all over the countries and developed the scene a hundred years later in advance.
The officials of the wharf, when they learned that they were the kings of the Boni Kingdom, did not dare to wait for them, and arranged for them to settle down in the place where the yamen of the wharf was managed, waiting for the arrival of the officials of the imperial court.
At night.
The yamen, who was in charge of the wharf, held a banquet for them, and officials from the Ministry of Rites rushed to attend.
Daming prepared forks and spoons, as well as chopsticks.
Mana Jakana Nanai learned the use of chopsticks by the Ming people, although he was not very skilled, but no one laughed at him, but pointed out the skills used, and soon, Mana Jakana Nanai was able to eat with chopsticks.
The princes and officials of the Boni Kingdom also followed to learn the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.
Night.
The wharf was brightly lit and the bazaar was lively, and seeing that the king of Boni was interested, the officials of the Ministry of Rites led them to the bazaar.
"This is the wine made in the Western Regions."
The businessman introduced with a smile.
There are many Ming feudal states, there are many missions, and there are also merchants of the feudal kingdoms, they are not surprised, as long as they can bring them business, they are very welcome, and many goods are prepared for each other.
"It's only seven dollars for a bottle."
The local grapes in the Western Regions are very cheap and the brewing cost is also low, and after the goods arrived in the capital, the merchants at the docks in Shanghai County sold them at sky-high prices.
The natives are not rich.
But they are rich.
The local gold and silver minerals, which the royal family did not lack.
Really.
Manajakana Na paid generously, and even everyone present tasted it, and he himself tasted it in a luminous cup, and as soon as he took a sip, he liked the taste.
Especially the glass bottles for wine and the luminous glasses, he directly bought thirty sets and spent more than three hundred taels of silver.
"It's an iced sweet soup."
"This is a rock sugar gourd."
There are no less than ten cities that never sleep.
Although the dock market in Shanghai County is not a city, the market here will continue until dawn.
Many sailors and exotic merchants got drunk at the bazaar.
There are food and drinks from all over the Ming Dynasty, as well as a variety of small commodities from Zhejiang, a variety of bamboo toys, and iron boxes that can make music sounds.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites, led the king of Boni and his party on the train.
There are people everywhere.
Building after building.
The wide and straight streets, the dazzling array of shops, the various people on the streets, and the many good-looking women made Manajakana look at it unsteady, and exclaimed as a celestial being.
"There is still such a place in the world, compared to it, our life is not called life at all."
Manaja Kanana muttered.
After the translation of the interpreter, the officials of the Ministry of Rites tried their best to control their smiles so as not to be misunderstood.
There are many vassal kings who come to the Ming Dynasty, but there are few people who are so straightforward as Xiang Mana Jagana, and it is also very interesting.
Mandarin Palace.
When the envoys of the vassal states came to Beijing, Zhu Gaochi would meet them according to the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites.
But even the king of the other party came, Zhu Gaochi naturally met with Mana Jakana Nanai for the first time, and the two sides had a warm exchange in the Wenhua Palace, in order to welcome the arrival of King Boni, the officials of the Ministry of Rites held a night banquet on the platform of the Wenhua Palace.
The envoys of various countries in Beijing received invitations, as well as scholars and businessmen from the capital.
The merchants were happy to participate in such banquets, holding their glasses everywhere to find someone to toast, and to communicate with the envoys of these feudal states.
"Since Mana Jagana Nai loves the bustle of the Ming Dynasty so much, you officials of the Ministry of Rites can formulate more plans to take care of the wishes of the king of the Boni Kingdom."
Zhu Gaochi commanded.
With the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the officials of the Ministry of Rites have changed a lot of rules.
The king of Boni traveled to the mountains and rivers of Yingtianfu every day, and he was carried away, and his princess and children did not persuade him, but enthusiastically joined, and loved Daming very much.
Daming Opera House.
The officials sent by the Ministry of Rites accompanied him and watched the opera of the Ming Dynasty with the king's family.
The lights on the stage are colorful.
More than a dozen female performers, dressed in beautiful long dresses, danced a traditional dance that made everyone look at it without turning their minds.
Manajakana Nanai also went to the temple on the mountain to offer incense.
Even the mountains have stone stairs.
Looking at the capital from the mountain, it was like seeing the most beautiful scene in the world, Mana Jakana Nai was fascinated, "There are still such countries in the world, how can Boni compare, living in such a place is alive." ”
The officials sent by the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but be surprised.
What do you mean by this man's words?
I couldn't help but be vigilant.
is so greedy for Daming, will he have undeserved ambitions?
This is not uncommon.
Barbarians do not understand propriety, righteousness and shame, and take pride in plundering.
When I see other people's good things, I don't want to learn to imitate, but the idea of robbery, and only with my fists can they understand things.
The clerk thought of going back to the Ministry of Rites the next day.
Unexpectedly, it may have been a wind, and Mana Jagana Nanai couldn't get up early the next morning, so he was frightened by the official of the Ministry of Rites, and hurriedly went to the doctor and told the above about it.
The doctor rushed to treat Manajakana Nanai and warned him that he needed to recuperate.
Manajakana did not understand the importance of what the doctor said, and when he saw that he could eat and drink, he forgot the doctor's explanation and began to visit various places again, but only three days later, Manajajana Kanana fell ill again.
This time it was very serious.
The doctors were also helpless, and the decoction was ineffective.
"After I die, don't bring my body back to China, bury me in Daming, I will be buried in Daming!" The king of the country of Boni, Manajakana Na did not forget to confess for a moment before he died.
The king of the first vassal kingdom died of illness in the Ming Dynasty, which caused a great shock in the Ministry of Rites.
Zhu Gaochi also learned.
This man is the same as in history.
It seems that many things are incomprehensible, and I still thought that Daming's medicine had progressed, but this matter seems to be limited, and there is no qualitative change.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh, and immediately asked the Ministry of Rites to solemnly hold the funeral of Mana Jaganai.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites asked Prince Boni.
"My father's last wish is to be buried in Daming, and I also ask for mercy from the kingdom and agree to my father's request." The father of the prince of Boni died, and he was not in a hurry to return to China, it seems that if there is a father, there will be a son.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites had already received Zhu Gaochi's instructions and did not refuse.
With the etiquette of the vassal king, the king of Boni was buried in Shizigang outside the Jingshi Ande Gate, and informed the prince of Boni that the Ming Dynasty would sacrifice in the spring and autumn.
The prince of Boni was very satisfied with Da Ming's behavior.
Returning home with his mother.
In the second year, like his father, he came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in person, and he also brought his mother.
This time.
He did not return to the Boni Kingdom, and took the initiative to propose the annexation, and was awarded the title of Loyal King of the Ming Dynasty.
Today, I don't have enough time to take care of children in the hospital, so today's update is only 4,000 words.
