Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 605

"Your Majesty, the minister said that some food can be given to them in the name of humanitarianism."

Zuo Fudao: "They can buy grain seeds, but they can't give them potatoes and sweet potatoes. Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be reproduced in the second generation. Although they will still fade after the third or fourth generation, it is just not as high as it is now. But even so , the output is still amazing.

Therefore, I feel that hybrid rice and wheat can be given to them, but exports of potatoes and sweet potatoes should be prohibited.Over the years, my Ming Dynasty has never exported potatoes and sweet potatoes, so this time we should also strictly guard against them and prevent them from stealing. "

Zhu Cihong nodded, "The country is based on agriculture, this is a kind word."

"As for firearms, we can actually communicate with each other."

Sun Xuntang's eyelids twitched, although Zuo Fu's expression was normal at the moment, he still saw a calculation in her eyes.

"Xiyi's firearms are as powerful as my Ming Dynasty. If we communicate with each other, we will benefit from it."

Zuo Fudao: "Besides, there are many people who study Gewu. For the future of my Ming Dynasty, I think they can send their students to my Ming Dynasty to study and exchange. However, I think, after seeing the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty , they won't want to go back..."

Qian Qianyi and the others' eyelids twitched, and they thought to themselves: "Zuo Yunshu is really ruthless!"

In the name of learning, directly plundering other people's scholars, doesn't this mean: use this to deceive them, and then don't even think about going back when they come?
I heard that there are still a bunch of red-haired ghosts imprisoned in Daming in Qiongzhou. Every time they want to go back, Qiongzhou locals will always throw something, and then hook these guys. They can't go back anyway, and the letters they send can't involve any technology.

Zuofu, why does he have so many minds?She was strictly guarded, as if the Xiyi people had some serious hatred against her.

"Exchanging talents for food is also a good choice."

Sun Xuntang suddenly said: "My Daming is also short of food, so I can't give it to them for free. Since they have a lot of talent in studying things and are good at firearms, it would be good to change some people."

This time, Zhu Cihong gave Sun Xunyu a rare good look, and nodded, "An Shunhou's words are very kind. Well, after the court is over, we will discuss it again and come up with a charter. This is the matter. Let that person come to see him." Right. In addition, I have granted the request of the Japanese shogunate, and the Japanese envoy will arrive at the end of this month, and it would be the best if we can come to have an audience together."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "The flying shear boat is very fast. It takes ten days to go back and forth from Qiongzhou."

"So good."

At this moment, Japan has already implemented a closed-door policy, and once the Japanese leave the country, they cannot go back. Unless they have to stay abroad for special reasons, they will be sentenced to death.

During this period, under the influence of Taoshan culture, the shogunate was a stable system, Zhu Zi's Confucianism began to prevail, and the social class was further solidified.In order to prevent daimyo from gaining huge wealth through trade, Japan began to cut off business ties with other countries, even long-term trade partners, such as North Korea, China, and the Netherlands can only trade in the Nagasaki area.

This policy has been implemented since 1639 until the arrival of the Qiongzhou Fleet.

Under the strong rule of the Tokugawa family, Japan, which has gone through a hundred years of war, gradually recovered from the war.In addition, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who died two years ago, was another capable master, so the severely damaged Japanese economy began to fully recover.

At the same time, the wind of extravagance also began to prevail.This point is quite prominent no matter in Edo or in Kyoto.

The samurai families who had always kept their homes simple also began to follow such extravagance, and these people were addicted to the "fresh goods" continuously imported from Qiongzhou.

Delicate and convenient, lip balm in various colors, delicate rouge in various colors, skin care products with excellent effects, glass mirrors that can tell people, crystal clear glasses...

The innumerable exquisite products made the Dongpu people intoxicated, but also because of this, they once again felt extremely inferior.

Japan is a country that is extremely scarce in materials. It is hard to imagine that kind of poverty, let alone a modern person like Zuo Fu, even the people of Ming Dynasty in the same period.

Dongying people love sweets, but Dongying is not suitable for growing sugar cane, and the sugar production technology is very bad, so a little bit of sweetness is a luxury for them.

Zuo Fu once heard from Mu Er that a lady from a noble family in Kyoto got married, and because she had several boxes of chestnuts as a dowry, she became a capital to show off her wealth.

At that time, Li Xiang and others were stunned after hearing the story.

Although sweetness is also a luxury for ordinary people in Ming Dynasty, they can't afford white sugar, so it's okay to eat some brown sugar once in a while.Although things like mountain chestnuts are not very cheap, it is okay to have a snack once in a while.

But this stuff...

To be used as a bragging rights by a nobleman?
How poor is this? !
So every time Mu Er saw the meals of ordinary people in Ming Dynasty, he would be very envious.

In his words, even if the people were not under Zuofu's rule, their meals were unimaginable for the Japanese.

Like ordinary people in Japan, there are only a few opportunities to eat white rice in a lifetime: red things, white things.

Normally, even brown rice is a rare and precious product.

In this regard, Li Xiang and others were stunned.

You can't afford brown rice, so what do you usually eat?
Mu Er blushed, and said with great shame: "We usually eat taro and wild vegetables, if there is a small dried fish, it will be a very hearty meal."

After hearing this answer, Li Xiang and others finally understood why these Japanese were so active in staying in Daming even though they were warriors.

Because soon Muji said that it is difficult for warriors like them to eat white rice.On weekdays, a bowl of brown rice, a piece of dried fish, and a bowl of vegetable kelp soup are a very hearty meal.

If you don't have these, boiled brown rice with plums is also quite good.After all, it's good to be able to survive, and you can't ask too much.

Li Xiang and others were stunned.

In the past, they were also very poor, and even starved to death during severe natural disasters.But to be honest, if Grandpa Tian gave me a face, brown rice can still fill me up, and there are vegetables.

There is a lot of salt and oil!
They feel that life like that is very bitter, but compared with Mu Er and the others, they feel that they should redefine the word suffering.

This can also understand why these Japanese want to stay in Daming and become naturalized people even after sharpening their heads.They worked so hard to a jaw-dropping level, and they had a humble attitude towards the Ming people. The Ming people didn't discriminate against them, but they felt inferior to the bottom of their bones.

Therefore, it is conceivable that under the attack of the continuous influx of exquisite goods, it is not surprising that the shogunate had the idea of ​​sending envoys to Daming.

After all, this is a country that has always worshiped the strong.When they found that the country that was beaten by the "barbarians" showed signs of standing up again, and became stronger and more advanced, they felt that it was necessary to send many "students" again to learn from Daming.

When the elites of the shogunate saw Daming's products, they were filled with envy and despair at the same time.

The back that they have been following for thousands of years, fell down several times and stood up seven times, and every time it stands up, it will become extremely powerful.

They can never forget the scene when Zheng He's fleet came to Dongying more than a hundred years ago.How terrible is that? !Such a big ship, even with the strength of all Japan, it is impossible to build one!

But now, after being beaten violently by the barbarians, they have regained consciousness and revived again.The gap between the manufactured products is simply desperate.

Those small hardware are so exquisite.Moreover, it seems that they have countless such things, which can be sold all over the world, and they will not be out of stock no matter how they are supplied, this is terrible!

Moreover, they also produced a strangely shaped ship, which can reach Japan in three days, so they are poor in Japan, and their rich neighbors look down on them, otherwise Japan may have been captured by now.

So after several years of secret observation, they decided to open the country to Daming and send people to study.

At the same time, the Koreans, who had been kept by envoys in Daming, became anxious when they learned that the Dongying people, their thousand-year-old enemy, were coming to Daming.

Since ancient times, North Korea has regarded itself as a small China, and their embassy is the highest and most luxurious in the Ming Dynasty. They are the good sons of the Chinese father!

And what are Dongying people?A group of savages, who are naturally rebellious, want to bite Dad at every turn. Dad must be confused. How can he let this wild son come over to fight the autumn wind?
You know, North Korea is now under the control of the Qing people, but just like this, they have not given up using the reign name of Daming, have not changed their clothes, and in order to continue to maintain contacts with Daming, they are taking huge risks and bearing the Qing government's pressure. The pressure, the risk of being swallowed at sea, came here with strong willpower.

And now Japan wants to be friendly with Daming...

This is unacceptable in any case!
No matter what, Dongying ghosts cannot be allowed to learn the advanced technology of Ming Dynasty!

Daming has already allowed Japan to pay tribute, so they are powerless to stop this, but they have been in Daming for a long time, they have a certain relationship, and they are also very accurate about the details of the characters on Daming's table, so they prepared a bunch of native products from their hometown , put on his best clothes, took a bath and changed clothes, and then came to Yingtian Mansion.

There is no doubt that Zoffre is the most powerful man in the country.

They have all heard about the battle between Zuo Fu and the ministers. There is no civil and military man in the Manchu Dynasty who can fight, even the emperor has to give up three points.

This person holds the most powerful army in the world, the magical rice that can yield [-] per mu, and the science of physics that leads to the truth. She is the secret of the country's rebirth!

It's just that this guy is too upright and doesn't seem to be good at scheming, so it's necessary for them to come to the door to remind them: Be cautious when making friends with Dongpu.

Zuo Fu looked at the two North Korean envoys, a little confused.

They brought gifts, such as Korean ginseng, deer antler, and deer placenta...

Then just to tell myself: Dongying people are uneasy and kind?Japanese people are barbaric?Is the Yamato nation the most cunning and baddest in the world?

And he also had a mysterious face, looking around while speaking, as if he was telling a big secret.

Zuo Fu held his forehead.

These things……

I think I know better than you guys.

and also……

Is the way you apply the eye drops a bit too obvious?

Where is this a reminder?
This is obviously to poke the ass of the foot pot chicken (Japan)!

Zuo Fu pushed the gift back and said, "Thank you for the envoy's reminder."

After a pause, he continued: "We Han people have a lot of dealings with Dongying people, but people can't always live in the past. Nowadays, the world trend has changed greatly, and all Western Yi countries have launched reforms and advocated science. I have waited for too long to close the country. We are lagging behind the world. Therefore, at this moment, China, Japan and North Korea should unite and should not care about it any more. They should share knowledge and promote the friendship among the three countries.”

Upon hearing Zuo Fu's words, Pu Jinshu became anxious.

He said in fluent Ming Dynasty official language: "The Duke may still not be very clear about the nature of the Dongying people. They all have a wolf's heart. They are modest on the surface, but they are cruel on the inside. Please think about it, Duke of Song Dynasty. At that time, their aristocratic women were willing to vaccinate the merchants of the Song Dynasty who went to trade, and they knew that this nation has no sense of shame, and they will use any means to achieve their goals, and the Duke must guard against it!"

Zuo Fu laughed, "Master, I'm just a small government official, I don't care about such matters. Besides, it's broken the rules for you to come to visit today and say such things. You also know that because of It is quite difficult to walk in the officialdom as a woman, so it is better not to mention such things that fall into the public eye?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Mu Er and the others, and seeing their disturbed faces, she smiled and said: "My personal guards are all from Dongpu, I think they are hardworking and loyal, not like what you said Furthermore, most of the people who started the war were ambitious high-ranking people. What does it have to do with ordinary Japanese people? Everyone is human and just wants to survive.

I think, if the exchanges between the two countries can make everyone live a better life, there won't be any fool who wants to start a war, right?Even if there is, I think the people of all countries will not agree.After all, I, Ming Dynasty, is also famous for my tolerance and kindness towards the vassal states. Who would allow a few careerists to provoke the tolerant Shang state?Don't you think so?Ambassador Park? "

What he said made Mu Er and the others cry with gratitude, their eyes turned red, and they wished to prove themselves by killing a few compatriots with wolf ambitions right now.

The North Korean envoy turned pale.

Yes!

Japan may not dare to challenge you Ming Dynasty, but they will attack us North Korea with advanced technology!
Zuo Fu smiled, and thought to himself: You two are going to get married, how can I do my mother-in-law to seek benefits?
The Koreans and Japanese are excellent laborers, industrious, obedient, and loyal.In the future, when we open up overseas lands, these people will have to do the dirty work!

With a decent smile on his face, he comforted: "However, I have also noted what Envoy Park said."

She stood up and bowed, "North Korea is also being humiliated by the Qing Dynasty now. Later, I will play the Son of Heaven to assist you with a batch of weapons, medicines and food."

The envoys were overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Thank you, Lord Zhen, for your kind words. I heard that the Duke likes medicinal materials, and our North Korean ginseng is very good..."
