I want to be a grandson

Chapter 508 The Emperor of Top Gun

As for why rubber trees appeared in An Nanguo, Zhu Yunxi didn't know that it was because of the lack of historical documents.

Or because of the ocean currents or the migration of migratory birds, the branches or seeds of the rubber tree were brought there.

This situation is not uncommon.

Zhu Yunxie ordered: "Chen Cheng, let someone buy the place where the rubber trees were found, and don't be discovered by others. In addition, after the Guangdong chief envoy has planted those branches, I will find an opportunity to send some out according to the solar terms..."

"Yes, I obey your orders, and I will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment!"

In Western countries, there are more or less traces of Han people, and some countries do not consider them a minority.

In addition, Annan Kingdom was originally the territory of the Han people, but it was separated later, but it is still a vassal state of the Central Plains, so there are many Han people in Annan.

As long as Chen Cheng finds a reason in private and sends someone to buy the land, he can hold the rubber tree in his hands without anyone noticing.

In the future, if you find an opportunity to send it to Daming, you just need to hide it from An Nanguo's inspection.

To be honest, when they don't know the purpose of the rubber tree, even the inspection is not too strict.

"These rubber trees are useful to me, Wang Zhong, you will assist Chen Cheng in this matter, don't let me down!"

"The slave's life is ruined, in order to repay His Majesty's great kindness!"

The reason why it is so important is because rubber is so important.

Just imagine how many places rubber is in our lives, and it can not only make a lot of money, but also drive innovation.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair and asked, "Chen Cheng, although you have made great contributions to the south, Annan is too small, and it is only a country. The Western Regions are known as 36 countries, and a large part of them was originally the homeland of China... "

Having said that, Zhu Yunxi was a little sad.

"When the Mongolian Yuan ruled the Central Plains, the Wusi Tibetan area and some places in the Western Regions were still the territory of the Yuan Dynasty. Going forward, it was called Longyou Road, and there were two guards in Anxi and Beiting...

The scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the vast territory, this is the glory of the Central Plains Dynasty, Chen Cheng, do you think that the Ming Dynasty can also have a scene comparable to the prosperous Tang Dynasty? "

"hiss……"

Chen Cheng couldn't help but took a deep breath,

Could it be that His Majesty intends to plot against the countries of the Western Regions?

Taking the heyday of the Tang Dynasty as a reference, this is obviously ambition...so ambitious!

As a loyal minister, as a courtier of the Han family, who is not proud of submitting to the Quartet!
Who doesn't take pride in subduing the nations!
Your Majesty has such a bearing, such a mind and ambition...

It is really the luck of Daming!

"Your Majesty, it depends on people's efforts. Your Majesty still has great ambitions. It is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty, the people, and the ministers! Congratulations to the ministers and the world, and congratulations to the Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Chen Cheng who fell on the ground with a righteous face, Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "In the future, you will learn more about the affairs of the countries in the Western Regions. One day, I believe I will use it!"

"I obey, and I am willing to die for His Majesty's grand plan!"

Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, after this matter is over, I want to go to the Western Regions for a while, please allow me!"

If you treat me like a gentleman, I will treat you with death!
Although the countries in the Western Regions are not peaceful, their relationship with Ming Dynasty is not close, and there are even conflicts sometimes, but Chen Cheng can't control that much anymore!

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

It's always shallow on paper,

To understand the specific situation of the Western Regions, you have to take a walk and look around and go deep into it.

Zhu Yunxi knew his sincere heart, but deep sex is not fun, and the danger is unpredictable.

Since Chen Cheng is going, it is definitely not a trip to the mountains and rivers, and it is likely to involve some confidential matters of the countries in the Western Regions, such as the terrain of mountains and rivers, the distribution of troops, etc.
If caught, there is no hope of survival.

So Zhu Yunxi said worriedly: "The situation in the Western Regions is complicated, and Da Ming has limited control over it. I'm afraid I won't be able to support you at critical times.
In addition, regarding the matter of the Western Regions, it is only an idea now, and it has not yet reached the critical time..."

"Your Majesty, all things are forewarned, and nothing is foregone. No matter when Your Majesty will show off our country's prestige, you need to make preparations in advance... I beg Your Majesty for your permission!"

Zhu Yunxi was a little hesitant, but still nodded, "Forget it... Pay attention to safety, and remember not to set foot in dangerous places..."

"Remember, my minister, thank you Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunxi asked Chen Cheng to investigate and pay attention to the Western Regions, firstly because the Western Regions are indeed a big problem, and secondly, it is also in line with Chen Cheng's actions in history.

In history, Chen Cheng was loyal to the country all his life, and he was ordered to seek talents in Beiping, to rent from Shandong, and to successfully go to Annan as an envoy, all of which fulfilled his mission.

Going out of Yangguan five times, trekking tens of thousands of miles across snow-capped mountains, forests, and deserts.

Five missions to the Western Regions, reopening the "Silk Road", opening the door to diplomacy and foreign trade for the Ming Dynasty with Zheng He, one sea and one land, and creating a prosperous scene for all nations to come to the Ming Dynasty.
It can be described as hard work!
In particular, the implementation of the diplomatic strategy of "seeing and indifferent" to the countries of the Western Regions, "From now on, all parties will be moralized, and the three parties will be settled without labor"!
It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the Western Seas seven times, which was unprecedented in maritime trade, and slightly broke the maritime ban policy of the Hongwu period, so it attracted more attention.

If we really want to talk about credit, even if Chen Cheng is not as good, he is not far behind.

After the afternoon nap, Zhu Yunxi got up from the bed and regained his energy.

At this time, it has come to spring, the spring is warm and flowers are blooming, everything is recovering, and the sun is getting brighter and brighter, shining on people's bodies with warmth,
Sweeping away the cold of winter not only makes people feel comfortable, but also relaxes the mood a lot.

"Come on, change clothes!"

In the Huagai Palace, Wang Zhong couldn't help being very embarrassed when he saw the clothes of ordinary people on the shelf.

Is Your Majesty going to leave the palace in disguise?

Cautiously said: "Your Majesty, why do you want to change into this clothes, the weather is still cold, why don't you put on court clothes..."

Zhu Yunxi knew that he was trying to persuade him not to leave the palace, so he ignored him, and ordered: "Let Zhang Fu get ready, I will go out, do you want to follow or stay in the palace?"

"Uh uh..."

Wang Zhong choked for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The servants are naturally serving in front of His Majesty, and the servants can go wherever the Majesty goes!"

Since His Majesty insisted, even with Wang Zhong's courage, he would not dare to stop him.

Besides, His Majesty only gave himself two choices, so there is no room for choice at all...

Could it be that he still said to stay in the palace?
Isn't that stupid!

After being greeted by the palace maid, they quickly changed their clothes. At this time, Zhang Fu was ready with his disguised bodyguards. Zhu Yunxi gave an order, and the group left the palace through the side door.

The capital city in spring is very lively, there are many tourists along the way, and there are many pedestrians.
There are many small merchants and hawkers pushing carts along the street to sell, and some vendors set up a stall to welcome customers to patronize.

Zhu Yunxi sat on a simple tea stall, picked up the tea bowl with tea froth floating in it, blew on it, and took a sip, without any expression on his face.

Zhang Fu, who was sitting at the same table, saw that His Majesty had already drank, so he just had to hold back the bitterness, raised his neck and gulped it down...

He really couldn't understand, His Majesty grew up in the imperial palace and was pampered. Such inferior tea foam was so bitter that he didn't even want to drink it. How could His Majesty be able to drink it...

Zhu Yunxi knocked on Zhang Fu, picked up the teapot beside him, and added another bowl of hot water for him,
"It seems that you are really thirsty, so drink more until you are full, so as not to be thirsty again later..."

Zhang Fu's face suddenly brightened...

Looking at this big bowl of tea, I really feel bitter in my heart.

Originally, I thought that if I drank the bowl of tea in one breath, I would be relieved. After all, who drinks the "medicine" one mouthful at a time?It's not done in one go!
Your Majesty... I'm really not thirsty...

Even if I'm thirsty, I don't want to drink...

It's just that he can only say these words in his heart and never dare to express them!
His Majesty poured tea for himself, but he was not thirsty, what should he do next?
Of course, I sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman!
"Thank you...my lord!"

So the muscles on Zhang Fu's face couldn't stop twitching, he picked up the tea bowl and drank again,
But I forgot to blow it before drinking, and I forgot to put my lips deep into the water, so I took a sip of tea foam...

Although he was a little embarrassed, he also gave him an excuse, and took the opportunity to turn aside and spit out all the tea foam in his mouth, so there was no need to rush to drink this bowl of tea...

Regarding his cautiousness, Zhu Yunxi just smiled and didn't point it out.

"Drink it, let's go."

After sitting for a while, feeling the life of ordinary people, Zhu Yunxi got up and took out three Wen coins from the purse and handed them to the man selling tea.

Among the three Wen coins, Zhu Yunxi mixed in a piece of privately minted counterfeit money, but even though the counterfeit money was privately minted, its appearance was not bad.

The man who sold the tea took the money and looked at it, his eyes stayed on the counterfeit coin for a while, and then he rubbed it with his fingers.

Zhu Yunxi knew that he must have found out that it was a fake money, but he didn't show any guilt, he still stood by, "The tea is good, is the business okay?"

"Hongfu, the guest officer, is okay...Guest officer, walk slowly..."

The tea seller smiled honestly, put the three copper coins into the purse on his waist, and went away to work again.

When Zhu Yunxi turned around, both Wang Zhong and Zhang Fu noticed that his brows were not frowning slightly, but they quickly relaxed...

"Go, buy two bolts of cloth..."

Walking in front of a shop selling cloth, Zhu Yunxi stepped in.

The clerk in the shop hurried over to say hello, saying auspicious words and asking what kind of cloth to buy.

"Buy two bolts of cloth for the family, one is just plain, the other is better, I want to make two sets of clothes..."

The clerk laughed and said, "Guest officer, don't worry, the cloth here is all sent from Suzhou and Hangzhou, the quality is good, and there are even better Shu brocades...

But that thing is too expensive, and there are not many, it will definitely not meet the needs of the guest officer. "

"Guest officer, how about this piece of cloth? It is thick and durable, and it is not afraid of washing and rubbing. It will not be rough even if it is used for five or six years...

There is also this piece of cloth, which is from Liujiazhuang, Hangzhou, and this one is sent by Shen's House, both of which are of high-quality fabrics, which one do you choose? "

Zhu Yunxiu took a look, picked two horses under the introduction of the staff, turned to Zhang Fu who was traveling with him, and said, "Brother Zhang, you can also choose two horses for Mrs. Sister-in-law. I heard that Mrs. Sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, diligent and thrifty in managing the house. We can't I'm sorry..."

I……

Zhang Fu's face was flushed instantly!

Mrs. sister-in-law, where is the young lady from!
I didn't get married at all, okay!

Also called "sister-in-law", isn't this putting yourself on the fire to roast...

Your Majesty, you have learned badly...

Wang Zhong, who was standing beside him, was also blushing, but he was not embarrassed, but because he had to hold back his laughter and was held back.

Zhang Fu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother Wang, do you want to buy one for Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhong's murderous eyes greeted him!
Wang Zhong stared at him, wishing he could swallow him in one gulp!
Can you tell the eunuch this?

It's so insulting to say it!Especially in front of His Majesty, isn't this a crazy slap in the face!

"Come on, wrap up these two batches of cloth and settle the accounts."

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth to interrupt, and only then did he bring the attention of the two of them back, so that they would not get into a fight.

Zhang Fu also realized the mistake in his words, and smiled at Wang Zhong embarrassingly. Wang Zhong glared at him fiercely, turned his face away and ignored him.

Zhu Yunxi came to the counter to pay, poured out a large handful of copper coins from the money bag, counted the number and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper saw that there were privately minted fake money among the money, so he glanced at Zhu Yunxi, but he didn't say anything.

He picked out those counterfeit coins calmly, pulled them aside, and at a glance, he knew that there were twenty coins, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, your twenty coins are a bit old and worn, so let's discount them by [-]%." , you can pay another four pennies..."

"Good talk good talk..."

Zhu Yunxi did not argue, let alone dispute, and took four copper coins from the money bag and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, go slowly, welcome to come again next time..."

Zhu Yunxi turned around to get the cloth, but Zhang Fu had quick eyes and quick hands, and hugged the two cloths in his arms first.

From the human point of view, this is mutual care between friends.

After leaving the door of the cloth shop, Zhu Yunxie's face instantly became gloomy!

Wang Zhong and Zhang Fu at the side suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and they felt chills all over their bodies!

Cautiously followed aside, not daring to make any noises, and not daring to make any movements, for fear of offending His Majesty and becoming an outlet for venting!

Arriving at a remote corner, Zhu Yunxi walked into the alley, knowing that no one would notice him before stopping.

Reaching out his hand, he tore off the money bag from his waist and threw it at Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu hurriedly hugged the two pieces of cloth with one hand, and caught the money bag with the other, only then breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was in a hurry, he didn't fall to the ground...

"Zhang Fu, take this money and go shopping in the city immediately, buy as much as you can, and trade as many times as you can!
I want to see how many people are using counterfeit money!How many people are trading with the fake money privately minted by these thieves! "
