Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 603

A group of concubines looked dumbfounded.

Just say something casually, the emperor took 5 taels of gold to Zuo Fu?

It's too easy to ask for money, right?
and also……

Australia?

what is the place?
"Speaking of this matter, someone from below handed over a brochure, saying that the Japanese shogunate wanted to send Ming envoys to reconcile with Daming and form a brotherly state. I discussed with the elders of Zhuge and planned to agree to their request. Any thoughts on this?"

"Dongying and our country are separated by a narrow strip of water, and they have invaded our country many times because they are too poor. My Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and I should have the demeanor of a big country. If Dongying is willing to repair with us, I can let them come to my Ming Dynasty and accept them. Their students come to learn from me Ming etiquette and knowledge."

Zhu Cihong nodded, "I have tasted the evil consequences of closing the country and closing the country. I have also tasted the sweetness of opening the sea, so I also feel that they should be allowed to come. It's just that the previous method is not feasible. Otherwise, I will pay you some chestnuts as a tribute. A pile of real money goes out, we feel that we are generous, and they laugh at us as fools behind our backs.

Allowing them to do business with me, Ming Dynasty, is the greatest gift.Therefore, I have decreed that in the future when foreign countries visit, it is acceptable to give one or two gifts, but not more. "

Zuo Fu nodded, "Speaking of this, my Western friends from Great Britain have already tossed and turned on the sea two or three times, but I still can't make up my mind whether to let them in or not."

"Great Britain?"

Zhu Cihong frowned, "What kind of awkward name is this? Xiyi?"

Zuo Fu nodded, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, when I was an official in Qiongzhou, I met a Xiyi, and now he is also a duke. He came with a letter of credence this time, and he wrote a private letter to me. The ministers should have reported it immediately, but they did not submit their credentials to Qiongzhou, and later found out that their internal affairs were not stable, and the king had been beheaded, so the minister wanted to delay it.

The diplomatic relations between these two countries are not a joke. If we make friends with them today, and they chop off the king's head tomorrow, wouldn't it be a joke for us? "

Zhu Cihong nodded, "You are old enough to seek the country, you have done well."

A group of concubines have become mosquito-repellent eyes.

Those of them who can read a few words are not bad, how can they understand such important national events?At this moment, I just feel that this Zuofu is so powerful, obviously she is also a woman, others can fight wars when they mount a horse, and rule the people when they dismount, and it is easy to talk about major affairs in the world with the emperor, without any effort, this knowledge, this style, really are all One by one.

Even though his appearance is not that good-looking, but looking at him like this, he feels that this person is inexplicably attractive, and people can't take their eyes away.

In contrast, the petty person in Kunning Palace is not like the mother of the country, but like a concubine.

"They are thousands of miles away from me, Da Ming, what is the purpose of making friends with me, Da Ming?"

Zhu Cihong asked again: "Is it because the western barbarians established their countries with business for the purpose of trade?"

"Your Majesty, trade is one of its goals."

Zuo Fudao: "Nowadays the western barbarians are fighting fiercely, but in their eyes, I am the kingdom of heaven, so if you can make friends with us, you can get the protection of the upper kingdom."

"You are quite proficient in Western affairs, what do you think?"

Zuo Fu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Great Britain is also called the United Kingdom. It is an island country. Although it is temporarily in chaos, I can be sure that within 20 years, it will dominate the Western Ocean. Therefore, I feel that if we can have friendly exchanges , we can still make friends."

After a pause, he continued: "After all, the Western Yi people have discovered America, which is bigger and better than Australia. They heard that the land is so fertile and full of gold mines that the natives drink their blood. They don't know how precious it is, so they give it away to others at will. The Xiyi people are crazy about it, they are killing the aborigines everywhere, giving clothes with smallpox to the aborigines, I heard that many people have died..."

Concubine Xian and the others covered their mouths, stared wide-eyed, and exclaimed: "Even if they are aborigines, they are still human beings. Such torture and killing, isn't this, these Xiyi are too cruel?"

"Girls, don't be afraid."

Zuo Fu said: "They still dare not provoke me, Daming."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhu Cihong: "If Britain can control the ocean, it will be able to swallow that continent in the future. Therefore, it will be useful for us to make good friends with them. In the future, we can use them as a springboard to go to America as well. Take a look."

"It's too far away from our Daming."

Zhu Cihong said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to get a share of the pie. It would be nice if Australia could be my rear."

After a pause, he continued: "But what you said is not bad. If you can sell my Ming's products in the West, then it's okay to make friends. But when will this British civil strife end?"

Zuo Fu said: "That's hard to say. But if Your Majesty is willing, you can let the Xiyi people come first, make friends or not, and see what they want to do."

Zhu Cihong nodded, "Then you should reply now and ask Qiongzhou to escort him to the capital."

"Yes."

Zuo Fu left the imperial garden, got on a chariot and left the palace.

Looking at Zuo Fu's leaving figure, Zhu Cihong remained silent.

Seeing Concubine Shu, she said, "Your Majesty, can you go to the gazebo for some tea?"

Although everyone's positions have been determined, until now, the emperor has not called anyone to serve the bed, so everyone is also very anxious, and they all want to be the first to serve the bed.

Zhu Ciwang glanced at these concubines, looking at the expectation in their eyes, a faint disgust welled up in his heart.

Everyone in this world yearns for him because he is the Son of Heaven, but when he escapes from Beijing, not even a rich girl wants to look at him. Risk keeps him.

Zuo Fu didn't hide his dislike for him at first, thinking that he would bring trouble to his family.But gradually, after confirming that she was willing to escape with them, her attitude improved.

She is such a person, love and hate are so clear.

Now, is she afraid that she hates herself to death?The reason is because I let her down...

Thinking of this, a burst of bitterness welled up on the tip of his tongue, making him no longer interested in staying here. He shook his head slightly and said, "You guys have fun, I still have things to deal with."

After all, he left behind a bunch of beauties, got on the shoulder chariot, and went to Qianqing Palace.

Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Shu who had been shut down, smiled and said: "Sister is really impatient."

Concubine Shu's face was flushed with embarrassment, but she didn't buy it, "My sister was joking, but I just wanted His Majesty to drink some tea."

"Your Majesty has so much to do every day, how can I have tea with you here?"

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows and said: "It's getting late, sisters, play slowly, I'm going back first..."

Looking at Concubine Xian's appearance, Concubine Shu secretly hated: Bah!What's wrong? !Concubine Xian is also a concubine, and there are noble concubines and imperial concubines on top, no matter how powerful they are, how powerful can they be the queen?

Concubine Xian also sneered while sitting on the chariot: a bunch of idiots.This man will go crazy if he doesn't get the woman he likes. At this time, is he courting him, courting death?
but……

This His Majesty really cares too much about Duke Zhen. It seems that if I try to curry favor with Duke Zhen, I might be able to help myself in the future...

　I'm going to cook first, and I'll add more in the evening.
