I want to be a grandson

Chapter 490 The vassal, what equality!
Chang Sheng looked at his younger brother's appearance of being a money fanatic, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said, "You put it down, it's been a long time since you've been watching it!
Do you have to read everything here to be satisfied? "

Chang Sen said with a smile: "Second brother, should I get some of these good things? I am Yunxi's third uncle. In terms of close relationship, I am much closer than your second uncle! It is reasonable to give me some things, right? "

Chang Sheng glared at him, "Choose whatever you like, no one will stop you from doing it! But there is one thing, these are rewards from the palace, and you must never take them out and sell them, that is a serious crime! You can't give them away Others! Remember it!"

"oops……"

Chang Sen said happily and helplessly: "Second brother, can I not know about this? Don't worry! I'll just put it in the room and have a look, just enjoy it."

"By the way, I'll take the gift to Duke Wei's mansion this year, right? Their family has a queen, so I have to go congratulate you..."

Chang Sheng rolled his eyes at him angrily, could he not know what his brother was thinking?
The emperor's uncle came to give gifts, you can't just have a good meal of wine and meat, can you?

Even if you don't send gold and silver directly, you will also send some treasures and antiques!
"You should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. To tell you the truth, Wei Guogong's mansion closed its doors to thank guests two days ago, and did not receive anyone..."

Chang Sen asked in surprise: "What else? It's almost Chinese New Year, why are you closing the door?"

Chang Sheng wanted to mention him, and said, "They even resigned from the Ministry of War to honor Xu Zengshou..."

As soon as these words came out, Chang Sen's heart sank. After looking at the rewards in the room, he suddenly felt in a dilemma...

In the end, willpower prevailed, and she moved Yanmeng away with difficulty, put down the good things in her hands, and turned her back to those things, as if wanting to refuse the temptation,
Out of sight is pure...

Chang Sheng said: "Do you understand why Duke Wei's mansion did this?"

If you don't know, you are a fool!

As a noble family, how could he not be clear about the matter of avoiding suspicion!
"Brother, do you mean that our family has to close the door to thank guests?"

"That's not necessary, but it shouldn't be too ostentatious. Let's stick to the usual year, but this year the family members don't want to go, just let the servants send it back..."

"Okay! Listen to brother! Always say what you say!
...But are these rewards all right?I chose..."

"..."

Don't blame others for being cautious.

Even if Zhu Yunxi misses his mother's natal family, no matter how publicized the founding government is, they won't do anything to them, and Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive!
Don't look at him now abdicated to become the Supreme Emperor, but no one dares to underestimate him!

Instead, you will be more careful at this time!

Once he finds out that someone is threatening the throne, his hands will not be soft!

Zhu Yunxi moved out of the East Palace and lived in Qianqing Palace, and Jinshen Palace became the place where he handled government affairs daily.

The ground dragon is lit inside the side hall. Although it is snowing outside, the whole side hall is very warm and makes people feel very comfortable.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair, handed the letter of credence in his hand to Li Fu, and motioned him to hand it to the four Wenyuange bachelors sitting there.

Said, "This is the letter of credence presented by the envoy of the Japanese Nu Kingdom, you all have a look."

As soon as Tie Xuan received it, Bao Zhao, Jing Qing, and Jian Yi also came over to watch.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Japanese Nu Kingdom has already known about our trade with the Southern Dynasty. Now Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is asking for trade. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

Well, after reading the national certificate, Tie Xuan asked.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair, and said lightly: "Although the trade with the Southern Dynasty was carried out in secret before, as long as there is a caring person, it is not difficult to find out. It is a matter of course for them to know.
It was only after so long that I realized, hehe, somewhat incompetent! "

"What Your Majesty said is that there is indeed some incompetence!"

"It's just a Japanese slave country, it's not incompetent and it can't be justified."

Tie Xuan and the others agreed with a smile.

After laughing, Zhu Yunxi asked: "Now that the Japanese slave country has requested for trade, it has brought a batch of goods and requested to carry out tribute trade as usual. What do you think?"

Commerce is one thing, and tribute trade is another.

Tributary trade is also known as "tributary trade" and "tribute ship trade".

After the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains government allowed foreign envoys to carry out trade with ships, chariots and horses on the premise of paying tribute.

It originated from the "pumping", "pumping" and "jinfeng" of the Shibo Department in the Song Dynasty.The government buys up all prohibited goods imported by sea ships.

For non-prohibited goods, in addition to taking a part of it, another part is purchased, and the rest is allowed to be traded privately.

The purchased part, in addition to being used for court consumption and rewards, was also resold. The Yuan Dynasty collected points, the Ming Dynasty implemented the tribute ship system, and set up a city ship lifting department at the treaty port to manage tribute and tribute trade.

Bao Zhao replied, "Your Majesty, now many vassal states have come to congratulate His Majesty on the enthronement ceremony, and they all carry goods for tribute trade, and the Japanese slave state is just one of them.

This minister thinks that Daming should not be treated differently, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, which is not good for Daming's reputation..."

Jian Yi also said: "Indeed, no matter how you say it, the Wa Nu Kingdom is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and should be given the due courtesy."

Jing Qingdao: "My minister thought that the tribute trade could go on as usual, but the trade must not be allowed! The Japanese pirates from the Wonu Kingdom often harassed the coastal areas of Daming, causing the people to suffer untold hardships. How could Daming do business with them!

Besides, Daming has not yet allowed private trade and maritime trade with any vassal state, how can it be an exception for those Japanese pirates! "

"Even if they are in business, they shouldn't be given this honor for the first time!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded. It is true that Daming does not conduct trade with vassal states now, and it will definitely in the future!
But this honor must be given to Ming Dynasty's close vassals, not to plunder its own enemies from time to time!

Tie Xuan said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, why do you think that this tribute trade is also a warning to the people of the Southern Dynasty!"

"They have received a lot of assistance from Da Ming in the past few years, and their strength has been greatly enhanced, but they still haven't made any major moves. If things go on like this, it will not be in Da Ming's interests..."

Zhu Yunxie ordered: "Since this is the case, the tribute trade with the Wonu Kingdom will continue as usual, but there is no need for trade, Tie Xuan, you have dealt with them before, this time you will meet them with Honglu Temple. "

"Yes, I obey!"

Tie Xuan said: "The envoy sent by the Wonu country this time is Ouchi Yoshihiro, this person is not only an envoy, he is also quite powerful in the Wonu country, and he was the target of the Northern and Southern Dynasties... "

"Oh, the Japanese slave country still sent him, which means that they value this mission... Is this Ouchi Yoshihiro really so important?" Jing Qing was not familiar with this person, so he couldn't help asking.

Tie Xuan explained: "Everyone does not know that the Shan Ming clan of the Wa Nu Kingdom fell into decline after the "Mingde Rebellion" in the 25th year of Hongwu, and the Ouchi clan became the most powerful guardian daimyo in the west of the country.
The Ouchi family is different from many samurai groups that were born and raised in Japan. They don’t think they are from the Japanese slave country, but they identify with the identity of “Dorai people”. Their ancestors are Prince Shenglin, the third son of King Seongmyung of Baekje in North Korea... "

Tie Xuan explained the origin of the Ouchi clan clearly, and finally said: "Because the base of the Ouchi clan, Zhou Fangguo, is very close to Koryo, so Ouchi wants to do maritime trade with Goryeo and Daming.

Ouchi Yoshihiro once suppressed a group of Japanese pirates who did evil in North Korea, and was grateful to the King of Koryo. Yoshihiro wrote a letter to the King of Koryo,
The above mentioned their origins, and asked Goryeo to give them a piece of land near the sea for trade, but the King of Goryeo hesitated, and now he has not agreed..."

Zhu Yunxi said: "You can handle this matter according to your discretion. If necessary, you can help Nanchao. I don't want the Wonu country to remain peaceful!"

Tie Xuan saluted and accepted the order: "My minister obeys, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

When the two sides have not completely torn their faces, how can they be turned away when others come to congratulate them?

It's just that I don't know whether the Wonu Kingdom has won or lost this time...

Tie Xuan met with Ouchi Yoshihiro in the Huitong Hall together with the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Yoshihiro Ouchi is only an envoy now, and he is not the king of Wanu, so it is enough for him to be received by Honglu Temple.

If they were really received by the emperor of Ming Dynasty, it would be too embarrassing for them!

In the lobby of the Huitong Hall, after the two parties met the ceremony, they took their seats.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, we came to the topic.

Tie Xuan gestured to the young minister of Honglu Temple, and he ordered to the left and right: "You all go down."

The waiter nodded and retreated in accordance with etiquette.

Ouchi Yoshihiro always had a smile on his face, and said with a very humble attitude: "My lords, the purpose of coming here on behalf of the Wa Nu Kingdom this time is to congratulate the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty on his enthronement. The whole world celebrates, and the Wa Nu Kingdom can enjoy this Thank you Daming for this honor..."

"We asked for tribute trade and business with Daming in the national art. I wonder if the upper kingdom has an answer?... I'm not in a hurry, but I can really get the grace of Daming, which makes people hard to hold on, hehehe..."

Tie Xuan replied bluntly: "Your envoy does not need to be so modest. Your country has a large population and rich products, which is many times stronger than some small countries. The favor of Ming Dynasty is nothing but dispensable to your country. ..."

"Where where..."

Ouchi Yoshihiro hurriedly said: "My lord, I really can't bear these words. Who doesn't know that Daming is a kingdom of heaven, the most affluent, rich people, strong soldiers and horses, and the Japanese slave country depends on Daming's breath... ..."

Now we pay attention to the equal relations between the two countries, but that was not the case at that time...

If I were originally a vassal of Daming, it would be normal for me to lower my posture a bit.

If you really want to pay attention to "equality", that is rebellion!
