I'm really not doing business

Chapter 335 Is it shabby to make money?Not shabby
A very interesting phenomenon is that Zhu Yijun called Zhang Juzheng "Sir", which has never changed. No matter whether Zhang Juzheng was Yuanfu, Taifu, or Yicheng Bo, Zhu Yijun always called Zhang Juzheng this way no matter what the occasion. This title was very personal.

In officialdom, one should call one's job title.

Zhu Yijun calls Zhang Juzheng this way, which makes it seem that Zhu Yijun is a political amateur and does not distinguish between public and private affairs. In fact, this is not the case. Zhu Yijun calls other people by their positions. He calls him this just to give Zhang Juzheng a platform for the New Deal.

This played a key role in the stability of the court, which meant that if this title did not change, the Ming Emperor would always support the new policy of Zhang Juzheng, a teacher.

When Zhang Juzheng talked about the four words of consistency with Zhu Yijun, he said that the changes in the court orders from morning to night will definitely lead to political chaos. The people do not know the law and the law does not restrain the people. Laws and regulations that are in line with the interests of local bureaucracy are blatantly derived.

The court's laws will have a lower priority than local laws at the local level. At that time, it will be the day when the world is unjust.

The example given by Zhang Juzheng is very appropriate, that is, the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards the northern captives. During the Jiajing period, the court had repeated political struggles over whether to fight or to make peace, which led to the direction of Xuanfu and Datong. Today, I received an order to prepare. Attack, tomorrow we will receive the attack and prepare for peace talks. The direction of Xuanfu and Datong will start to be decided by ourselves.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Jin party dared to usurp the authority of the Lord, and even went as far as to attack rituals and music from the princes.

Power comes from the top down because of the legal system, and also comes from the bottom up because of the world trend.

The stability of the court has also made everyone feel more calm. Wang Qian is a typical case. The Ming Emperor's attitude towards Wang Chonggu is that Wang Chonggu is still fulfilling his political promises and placing gangsters in place. Zhu Yijun will not deal with Wang Chonggu easily. So it was easier for Wang Qian to do things.

Shang Jiu finally chose to surrender under continuous bombardment, because Wang Qian really released the Japanese.

Shangjiu's neighbors were two envoys from the Japanese Kingdom. The two envoys were very drunk and broke into Shangjiu's room for some reason. The insults and fighting lasted for half a moment. The Damingti cavalry in charge of the defense , to separate the two parties.

Motoki Mouri and Toshinaga Maeda beat Shangjiu violently. The two drunkards and the king of Ryukyu who was frightened and almost went crazy. The fighting process was very boring, but it made Shangjiu have a little doubt about returning to Ryukyu. doubts.

Is it really right to return to Ryukyu?
The Ming Navy's attack on Ryukyu went very smoothly, but its attack on Shimazu Yoshihisa was repeatedly frustrated. This means that Ryukyu may become a battlefield in the next few years.

On September [-]th, the sixth year of Wanli, the Ministry of Rites reported that Shangjiu requested to stay in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Zhu Yijun made a decision to receive the envoys from the foreign countries on September [-]th.

On September [-]th, the sky was clear and crisp, and under the gusts of autumn wind, the gate of the Ming Dynasty Palace slowly opened amidst the sound of drums and horns, and a group of envoys began to prepare to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. These envoys came from North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Borneo, Malacca, Taixi Special Envoy Legas.

There is also a very special messenger, the Mughal Empire.

Envoys from North Korea come to Beijing three times a year. In most cases, they come to say hello and maintain friendship with the Ming Emperor so that they can sell their wild ginseng and Gaoliji. Gaoliji is an extremely mature industrial chain that started in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. , has been formed.

Zhu Yijun didn't see him every time, or he packed them up and had an audience together.

According to the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites, the first envoy the Ming Emperor met was an envoy from the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire was a country worthy of attention in many dimensions such as territory and population.

Wan Shihe, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, liked to say: The Yi and Di people have a human face and a beast's heart, and they are afraid of power but not moral. However, he attaches great importance to the affairs of the Yi and Di people.

The New Deal of the Ming Dynasty is complex, but there is only one main context, which involves both sea and land. Opening up the sea is one leg of the New Deal of the Ming Dynasty. Handling the relationship with overseas foreign countries is a huge challenge faced by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty under the Huayi distinction system. .

As for why the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel interferes in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites all day long, the courtiers have long been accustomed to it.

"Dear Emperor of the Central Plains, I am an envoy from the Yarkand Khanate. My name is Shah Maimaiti. I am a very humble businessman, but I am sent by the Peace Guardian Emperor and the Yarkand Sultan. Come and wish the great king as eternal as the sun and moon in the sky." Shah Maimaiti made a kneeling salute.

Guardian of Peace was the nickname of the Mughal Emperor Akbar at this time, and Zhu Yijun had already heard about it from the Ministry of Rites.

Shah Maimaiti has been in the Ming Dynasty for a year and can already speak Chinese very fluently. He is a businessman. He came from the Silk Road and entered the Jiayuguan Pass. He stopped and stopped in the Ming Dynasty and walked to the capital. It has been almost a year, and the interview process has been going around in the Ministry of Etiquette for seven months.

The Ministry of Rites has to solve a problem. Generally speaking, there is only one emperor in the world, but the Mughal Empire is also an empire and has an emperor. The Ming Dynasty has already dealt with such a crisis. There is another emperor in the West, and there is even an emperor in the Ottoman Empire.

Whether in the East or the West, the title of emperor is very serious. There are many kings and princes in various countries, but this emperor is still very rare. Instead of entangled with the identity of the other emperor, it is better to struggle with it. The sun never sets. This kind of never-setting mountain is the impact of etiquette and law from the royal land all over the world.

Soon, the Ministry of Rites discovered the second problem that troubled them, which was the name of the country.

Because the Mughal Empire was established by the Tatars, they were the Northern Barbarians under the Ming Dynasty. To be more clear, the Ministry of Rites discovered that the Mughal Empire was a remnant of the Hu Yuan Dynasty!

Ever since Lan Yu defeated the Northern Yuan court in Yuerhai, the Ming Dynasty no longer had to face the legal issue of the remnants of Hu Yuan. Now that the remnants of Hu Yuan suddenly jumped out, the Ministry of Rites also went through repeated tangles, and finally settled with Wan Shihe. After the decision was made, Shah Maimaiti was able to meet the Ming Emperor.

"Are you really a businessman, not a noble? As far as I know, your surname is Maimaiti, and you are not an ordinary businessman." Zhu Yijun looked at Shah, who was wearing a big turban, and said with a little playfulness.

Was the Shah really humble?In the vast Central Asia region to the west of the Western Regions and to the east of Thailand, the surname Maimaiti represents the descendant of the saint. It is roughly similar to the Tatar surname Boer, which is the Jin family, and even has a layer of religious mystery. .

"Yes, I am indeed a noble. Your Majesty's gaze has surpassed the obstacles of time and space." Shah bowed his head again and said very sincerely. The Ming Dynasty looked down on Yi Di very much. Shah has experienced this a lot this year. For the first time, His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, could actually know these small details. This means that the young king in front of him is really not easy to fool!

"You are the envoy of the Yarkand Khanate, why do you come on behalf of the Mughal Empire?" Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully.

Shah asked very puzzledly: "Your Majesty, a humble visitor from afar, I hope to correct your Majesty's mistake. I am stupid and cannot understand why officials from the Central Plains deliberately made mistakes in translation. The Mughal Empire This name is wrong, it should be the Mughal Empire. I have communicated with your officials many times, but they just refuse to change it."

The Mughal Empire was the last imperial country in India. The word Mughal was deliberately translated in this way by the Ming Dynasty, because the Mughals were Mongols, Hu Yuan, Northern Barbarians, and Tatars.

The word Mengwu comes from the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Mengwu Shiwei, and it belonged to a branch of Donghu. Donghu existed in the Han Dynasty. Sima Qian said that it was in the east of the Xiongnu, so it was called Donghu.

The Ministry of Rites cannot translate the Mughal Empire into the Mongol Empire, otherwise the Ming Dynasty, which was established after defeating the Hu Yuan court, would have to defeat the remnants of the Hu Yuan Dynasty again. !

The remnants of Hu Yuan have already established a huge empire. How could the Ming Dynasty remain indifferent!

The Shah only stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a year. He actually could not understand the stubbornness of the Ming Dynasty officials. Even if he corrected him repeatedly, the Ming Rites Ministry still translated the mistakes as they were.

"It's nothing. The officials of the Ministry of Rites just don't want to cause trouble for themselves. We, the Ming Dynasty, have our own national conditions." Zhu Yijun explained the matter vaguely and used cultural differences to explain it away.

The Mughal Empire was the Mughal Empire, at least that's what the name said.

Shah no longer hesitated and said very seriously: "Emperor Akbar wrote to me, the Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate. He said: It is useful to send knowledgeable people to form a mission to Khitan. We can start from The Khitan learns things that are useful to us, and at the same time reports to each other on each other’s situation, who is the ruler of the Khitan, how the country is governed, what the Khitan people are doing, and what rare and new things are produced there.”

"The Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate sent me here as a merchant, so I come here on behalf of Emperor Akbar and the Yarkand Khan."

Shah explained this issue in detail. The Mughal Empire in India has actually been trying every means to contact the Ming Dynasty, but the Mughal Empire has been unable to have official channels to contact the Ming Dynasty officials.

There are geographical barriers here. After all, it is too difficult to reach the Ming Dynasty from India by land. Shah still walked through the Silk Road. This trip alone took nearly two years.

On the other hand, the navy of the Mughal Empire could never get rid of one enemy, and that was the Red Mao Fan. The Mughal Empire was locked on land and could not reach the Ming Dynasty by water.

The only port controlled by the Mughal Empire, Gujarat Port, due to geographical reasons, the direction of trade was also Persia and Thailand. This resulted in the Mughal Empire sending many envoys, but they failed to reach the Ming Dynasty. .

It was also a coincidence that Shah would have died in Xingdusi, Shaanxi Province, which is the border of Gansu Province, if it were not for the wonderful rejuvenation of the doctors at Huimin Pharmacy.

It was not that there were no merchant ships from the Mughal Empire arriving in the Ming Dynasty, but there was no official communication channel. The Shah was a merchant and also a nobleman, so he was able to meet him.

Zhu Yijun sat up straight and said, "Your envoy has come all the way. Why does Emperor Akbar spend so much time on it?"

"To buy a ship, to be more precise, to buy a five-masted transoceanic ship." Shah said directly.

"Ah? Has the reputation of the five-masted transoceanic ship spread in the West?" Zhu Yijun was stunned. He never expected that Shah's long journey was actually to buy a ship.

Shah shook his head repeatedly and said: "This is not the will of Emperor Akbar. Emperor Akbar actually does not know the power of the Ming Dynasty's five-masted ocean crossing ship. I saw this kind of ship in the Ming Dynasty, so I want to buy it. Your Majesty is It is very clear that I am also a noble, and within certain limits, I have the power to make decisions."

"Recently in Surat, the invincible Emperor Akbar lost to the red-haired fans of Taixi. This was one of the few defeats that Emperor Akbar suffered in his life."

Zhu Yijun showed a smile and said: "It seems that your envoy is in the Ming Dynasty and reads a lot of miscellaneous newspapers."

Zhu Yijun was of course happy when business came to his door. In the Ming Dynasty's shipyard, the craftsmen who cut ship nails almost broke their hammers, unable to keep up with the strong demand. Everyone who saw the five-masted ocean-going ship said it was good, and everyone wanted to Yes, of course the price is also very beautiful, 20 taels of silver a piece, no bully.

Zhu Yijun determined the source of Shah's information. The Ming Dynasty was very prosperous in miscellaneous newspapers, and the contents in them were all kinds of strange. The fact that Shah knew so many things was probably the benefit of miscellaneous newspapers.

"As your Majesty expected, I often read newspapers to learn Chinese, so as not to disturb your Majesty during the interview. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, it is very rare for Yi Di to have a human appearance." Shah was very relaxed. He answered the emperor's words carefully, but once again he knew very clearly that the 16-year-old murderous emperor was really not easy to fool, and he could determine the source of Shah's intelligence in just a few words.From the Ming Dynasty to Taixi, everyone knows that Zhu Yijun is fond of killing people.

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "It is a pity that Ming Dynasty's production capacity is limited. Felipe II of Taixi arrived a little earlier than your envoy, and it will be about three years later."

"Your generous and great Majesty, I can wait." Shah bowed his head again and said: "Under the leadership of your wise and great Majesty, the heroic navy of the Ming Dynasty protected the people of the Ming Dynasty from the intrusion of the Red Mao Fan. How submissive Mao Fan was in the Ming Dynasty, but how barbaric he was outside the Ming Dynasty's force."

"They rushed into our harbor and killed everyone they could see. The Red Haired Fans occupied our territory, enslaved and humiliated our subjects. I beg your Majesty for your mercy. Even after three years, I can Waiting, for our people, waiting means seeing the light of dawn instead of being trapped in darkness forever."

Shah was very excited, and his voice became louder and louder. He thought that the terrible sea beast was only sold to the Ming Dynasty's allies, but now it seems that it is a business, which makes Shah see hope. The red-haired bandits relied on their large ships and firearms to kill people and set fires.

The Mughal emperor Akbar of this generation was a man with military talent. He fought everywhere and won all the battles. But when facing the Taisi, Akbar could only choose to compromise and generously forgive the Taisi's offense. By default, the Hong Mao Fan occupied the seaport of Surat, and by default, the Hong Mao Fan enslaved his people.

"The red-haired bandits were even willing to pay taxes in the Ming Dynasty!" Shah almost shouted when he said this. It was simply unheard of for these pirates from the West to actually pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty.

From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Mao Fan was just a serious businessman, but in the eyes of the Mughal Empire, Hong Mao Fan was basically a pirate.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of a saying, wherever you can be unreasonable, you must be unreasonable. If you can be unreasonable at all, you are forced to do so.

It is very appropriate to use it on these Thai and Western pirates.

"Have you ever considered joining the team?" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Since it is a business, it can be discussed."

"Huh? Jump in line?" Shah repeated dully. He could understand the vocabulary, but what he couldn't understand was that these words actually came from the mouth of the majestic Ming Emperor.

The corners of Zhang Juzheng's mouth twitched a few times, but the ministers all glanced at Zhang Juzheng and remained silent.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was frugal, even stingy, in order to amass profits. This really showed no respect for the Celestial Kingdom. How could he say it directly and openly?You have to carry someone on your back and turn off the lights, right?
In the eyes of the courtiers, courtiers, and Ming scholars, the Ming Emperor's almost pathological stinginess and profit-seeking were all Zhang Juzheng's fault.

In the early years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng repeatedly complained about being frugal, repeatedly criticized Taoist priests for burning repairs, and criticized the late emperor for being extravagant. This is how the obedient little emperor became like this.

Zhu Yijun looked at Shah and said with a smile: "If you want to think about it, contact Wan Dazai. Business is business. Is it shabby to make money? Not shabby."

If Zhu Yijun is willing to pay more, of course he will give priority to arranging production for the Mughal Empire, but Felipe II of the West is not happy?He can also add money, and whoever adds more will be given priority.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty also felt that His Majesty was right. Making money was really not shabby!

The entire Ming Dynasty was really in dire straits. They were in arrears with the payment for the construction of an imperial mausoleum for a year. If this was revealed, wouldn't it damage the face of the great nation?

The Shah once again stated Emperor Akbar's wish to trade with the Ming Dynasty and establish a dialogue channel, and immediately expressed that he could add more money. If there was no silver, he could use cotton, ports, or even people in exchange. The Ming Dynasty used force in Nanyang to collect the money. The matter of payment was also reported in newspapers, and Ming Dynasty's plantations also needed slaves.

After friendly communication, Shah said that he could add 5 taels of silver to win the Ming Emperor's priority in production. Zhu Yijun's young and handsome face was filled with smiles, and he even asked Tishuai Zhao Mengyou to send Ah back in person. Siyi Pavilion.

Zhu Yijun said happily: "Oh my, Maimaiti is indeed a big luxury shop. This plus is 5 taels. Very good. The Ministry of Industry knows that it will give priority to our Emperor Akbar. Arrange it properly and then send it to us." He must have five thousand...one thousand kilograms of gunpowder."

"I obey the order, and it will be delivered to him in October. There happens to be one for the special envoy from Taiyang." Guo Chaobin came out and obeyed the leader's orders. He must give priority to arrangements.

"Your Majesty, let me leave this matter of amassing profits to you." Zhang Juzheng stood up and said with a complicated expression.

Zhu Yijun shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, sir, that's wrong."

"Sister taught me that everything in this world is complicated, but it is always bustling and prosperous. As the master of the world, I naturally have to understand the relationship between them. And this is not a simple business. Buying and selling arms is all. It contains a strong political purpose. The Ming Dynasty wants to recover the payment for goods in Nanyang. Selling so many plantations and ships to the Mughal Kingdom can also add trouble to the Hongmao Fan."

Zhang Juzheng was speechless!He took two boomerangs today, but he could only be speechless. It was all his words, and His Majesty used his words to block him.

Wang Chonggu's self-restraint was excellent. He tilted his head slightly, fearing that the smile on his face would be seen by Zhang Juzheng. Wang Chonggu could only say: Your Majesty, well done!
In this world, there are not many people who can make Zhang Juzheng feel defeated. It can even be said that there is only one person, and that is His Majesty!

Look at your majesty’s boomerang, Zhang Juzheng’s ability to conquer the world, how can you refute your own words!

Wang Chonggu was really afraid of Zhang Juzheng. Without the emperor's support, Wang Chonggu was also afraid. Seeing Zhang Juzheng's defeat, Wang Chonggu lost all his self-cultivation skills.

"Legasi, the envoy of Xuantaixi, why does he join in the fun every day?" Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, every time he met with the foreign envoy, it seemed that to prove his identity, Ligas would come to join in the fun, and he had nothing else to do. Just to show his face in front of the emperor and maintain the relationship between Spain and the Ming Dynasty's allies.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, is your Majesty bowing well?" Legas greeted him.

Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and asked: "Excuse me, what can I do for you? If not, I have to meet the next foreign envoy."

"I just came here to say hello. I feel at ease when I see His Majesty in his prime." Ligas really has nothing to do. It is human nature to join in the fun. The Holy Family is meant to appear in front of the emperor from time to time, no matter how it is used. Memorials, or meetings, His Majesty is busy with many things, and it is easy to forget people.

Zhu Yijun pretended to remember and said: "By the way, people from the Mughal Kingdom came to the Ming Dynasty. They increased the price of each ship by [-] silver and took away two five-masted ocean-going ships in advance. I didn't want to give them, but Sha Sha Envoy, you have given me too much."

"Ah?" Legas was stunned, but soon realized it was reasonable. He had met the emperor many times and knew the Ming Emperor very well. This greedy king would not give up a cent of profit!

"You can write a letter to Felipe II later and tell him. He should understand that you are not afraid of being late for a good meal." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

"Dear Majesty the Ming Dynasty, I will write letters when I get back, but it will take about next year to send them back to Taipei." Legas said with some annoyance. When it comes to business matters and adding money, you cannot say that you are not trustworthy. It's a business. The Ming Dynasty is open for business, so how can anyone push money out?
When Zhu Yijun heard this, his smile appeared again: "Thank you for your understanding. As you know, there are many people in Ming Dynasty and the stalls are big. They all open their mouths and ask me for money. I am also in a dilemma. Let's just do it."

"Congratulations on becoming a father. I will have someone give you a longevity lock. Zhang Daban will give you a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Legas bowed his head again and thanked him. He and his wife gave birth to a son, and this son also received His Majesty's blessing. This is a true holy grace. This longevity lock can at least Make sure your son lives well in Ming Dynasty.

Legaz took away the longevity lock. As for adding money, Legaz could only write to Felipe II to inform him. Felipe II had to make the decision himself, and Legaz and Tessie had their own decisions. The only channel for information was the church, and missionaries would bring letters back to the West.

Zhu Yijun signaled Feng Bao to come forward and whispered a few words to Feng Bao. Feng Bao flicked his fly whisk and walked forward a few steps and said loudly: "The envoys of the Japanese Kingdom, Motori Yuanqing and Maeda Tosunaga, have paid their respects to the Ryukyu King Shangjiu. "

Shangjiu was afraid of the Japanese, so Zhu Yijun arranged for them to meet together. He did it deliberately. The four words "coercion and inducement" are used together. He had to let Shangjiu know that he was living a good and extravagant life. It was the kindness of the Ming Dynasty. , make wise choices.

Wan Shihe looked around and stood straighter. Is he poisonous?No matter how poisonous he is, can he still be poisoned by His Majesty?

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty." The three of them went to the hall, bowed five times and kowtowed three times, and performed a great ceremony.

Naojiu was the king of the Ryukyus conferred by the Ming Dynasty, so it was reasonable to call him a vassal. However, Motokiyo Mori and Toshinaga Maeda came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty with the kanhe of the Muromachi shogunate. The Muromachi shogunate was a Japanese king canonized by Emperor Seizumun, so it was reasonable to call him a vassal.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun looked at these three people with joy. Shangjiu was really beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face. His originally handsome face now looked a bit funny. Shangjiu stood up and was far away from these two people. The Japanese should stay as far away as possible.

Motoki Moto and Toshinaga Maeda represent different forces.

Maeda Toshinaga came to the Ming Dynasty to apply for the title on behalf of Oda Nobunaga, while Mouri Yuanqing ostensibly supported the Muromachi shogunate and opposed the canonization of Oda Nobunaga as the new shogunate and king of Japan.

"King Shangjiu of Ryukyu, you have stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Let's go back to Ryukyu tomorrow." Zhu Yijun looked at Shangjiu and said with a smile.

Shangjiu was frightened when he heard this and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to go back. These Japanese people can attack me with fists and kicks in the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid I will be in panic all day long if I go back. I beg you." Your Majesty is kind and will give me a place to settle down. After Ryukyu is stabilized..."

"How will you feel after you are stable?" Zhu Yijun interrupted Shang Jiu, his tone became a bit colder, and he looked at Shang Jiu as if he were looking at a dead person. After all the effort, it would be rude to go back. .

You're so polite, can Shangjiu take it seriously?Do you really plan to go back?

Shangjiu felt a chill rush from his tailbone to the sky. He shuddered suddenly and immediately said, "After I am stable, I will stay in the Ming Dynasty and bathe in the holy grace."

"Ah, that's okay!" After hearing this, Zhu Yijun's tone became gentle, which made people feel like a spring breeze. He turned his face faster than flipping through a book. This is the basic accomplishment of a politician. Zhu Yijun has no military talent, but his political talent is still extremely high. .

"The Ministry of Rites knows that the arrangements have been made." Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Ziqiang and arranged everything for Shangjiu to settle down in the Ming Dynasty.

From now on, Shangjiu will still be the king of Ryukyu. If he is not in Ryukyu, the monarchy will be offline.

　The Mughal Empire is the Mughal Empire. Mongolia is also called the Mughal Kingdom. Maimaiti = Mohammed. These four words are easy to detect when they appear, so they were replaced by Maimaiti.Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
