my days with tyrants

Chapter 141 Sapphire Arrives
As long as Jin Yiwei is dispatched, everything will be fine.

but……

The Tao is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high!

So immediately after, a new version of Fuluyan came out.

miniature version.

"It's just the right size!"

Yang Feng looked at the latest version of Fuluyan with satisfaction.

This book is already close to the size of the comic strips of later generations. The previous ones were woodblocks. Because of the material of the wood, the engraving should not be too thin. After all, it has to be printed. Printing needs to be stressed. If the engraving is too thin, it will easily be damaged. Not a few times, but now he has been extravagantly printed on copperplate.

This type of printing already exists.

In the Song Dynasty, copper plates were used to print banknotes.

So now he can feel nostalgic like the kids in the 80s, holding a palm-sized comic book.

Of course, the smaller the better to hide!
For such a small book, just find a place to hide it.

He was very thoughtful.

"Why bother, just to get angry?"

Zhang Fu looked at this guy who had obviously gone to extremes for the sake of angering the emperor speechlessly.

No matter the price!
"Pastime, I have to find some fun for myself here."

Yang Feng said.

"You can eat and drink!"

Zhang Fu said.

"I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, do you have them here?"

Yang Feng smiled sternly.

"Uh, what's a tomato?"

"That's it, I still eat and drink. I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes. I don't even have scrambled eggs. What else can I talk about? Let alone scrambled eggs with tomatoes. You can't even find peppers. I want to eat beef stew with potatoes and there are no potatoes. I want to eat Neither did the candied sweet potatoes.

But you can eat those rare birds and animals, why don't you go and catch a few manatees?

I heard that was delicious. "

Yang Feng said.

"I know you had a lot more than us at that time, but even if you don't care about eating and drinking, you can find more women..."

Zhang Fu instantly felt several murderous auras, one of which was still familiar.

He turned to look at his sister.

"Say it, keep talking!"

The little princess said gloomyly.

Zhang Fu smiled awkwardly.

"Look, you all know that this is inappropriate, so now my greatest pleasure is to fight with your emperor. Since that warship was blown to pieces, our relationship has changed. In the past, I could respect him, Give him face, but since that warship was blown to pieces, I won't give him face anymore.

It's true that I won't take revenge on him, but he can't expect me to be the same again.

Fighting with the emperor is a lot of fun. "

Yang Feng said.

Zhang Fu sighed helplessly.

He was already preparing to set off to return to Fusang, and the Japanese mission would also go back. Although Yoshimitsu Shibo was killed, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu should have no other choice at this time, because Zhu Di defeated the Japanese army trying to counterattack again in Kanto.Moreover, Imagawa Sadayo, who led the elite Japanese army from Kyushu Island to the north to join the war, was beheaded by Tan Yuanzhen. He was also the mastermind of the last Japanese invasion, so Zhu Di had already sent his head back, and Zhu Yuanzhang had ordered the head of the coastal guards.And what Imagawa Sadayo brought to the Kanto to participate in the war was also the last real elite Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could mobilize. So far, he no longer has any ability to fight back, and only has to shrink back and stick to it.

But it didn't work.

After all, Ashikaga Ujimitsu in Kamakura has been in secret contact with Zhu Di, and Uesugi Tomomune has obviously begun to start a war.

After all, there are precedents for people like Date Masamune.

If Daming can grant him the hereditary territory of Kanto, then he really doesn't mind supporting Shiman.

What's more, it's not just them. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's strength has been greatly damaged, and if he continues to fight, the loss will be even greater. Those local tyrants will also stand up. After all, they don't care who rules, as long as they are given hereditary territories.In short, the wisest choice for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is to do what Zhu Yuanzhang said. Anyway, it is nothing more than sending the emperor’s family to Daming. He actually has no feelings for the emperor. The country of Wa is completely over.

but……

If you don't agree with him, it's over.

Whether he is finished or the country is finished, this multiple-choice question is not difficult to answer.

"Go back and tell King Yan that if he is interested, he might as well send a few large ships to take the chart I gave him and sail eastward from the coast of Date Masamune. It is estimated that he will be able to cross the ocean in two or three months. Arrived in America. It will be a bit troublesome to come back, and you will have to make a big detour, but in any case, two years is enough time to complete this long voyage, just follow the route I said. But many people will definitely die on the way, so he Let him figure it out, if he can succeed, then I can guarantee that he will have inexhaustible wealth in the future."

Yang Feng said.

Zheng He went to the East?
This should be very interesting!
Moreover, Zhu Di should have started to have ambitions by now, but ambitions require money, and Japan obviously cannot extract much money. If he can obtain huge wealth by sailing to the Americas, then he will be more calm in the future.

Yang Feng gave him the route map of taking the Kuroshio Current to America, then going south to Central America, and then turning west to return to Luzon on the Northern Equatorial Warm Current.

And gave him good things from America.

Of course, it’s hard to say whether he can get it, but corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes should not be a big problem, because Indians also eat these, and peppers are also in their recipes, so as long as they can be traded, then they can get These things are not difficult.Although corn is just a cob with dozens of grains at this time, it just needs continuous breeding of good varieties, artificial pollination and selection of dominant plants, and improvement from generation to generation.Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be directly added to food, but potatoes are on the plateau, so this may require some thought.

Sweet potatoes are easy.

Columbus brought sweet potatoes to Europe when he first came to America.

In fact, sweet potatoes were more popular than potatoes in Europe for a while.

Both of these can indeed be introduced directly.

In short, let's see Zhu Di's choice!
"Also, if he really wants to go, let the soldiers control the lower body when they get there, so that they don't get dizzy when they see the indigenous women.

They have an infectious disease there.

If we get infected with this, there is no cure for us now. "

He then ordered.

Of course, the viruses they brought to the Indians are also hopeless for the latter, so there is no need to say this.

Zhang Fu bid them farewell like this, and escorted the Japanese mission back to the Japanese country. However, they did not take the sea route, but went northward by land to Chongjin, and then crossed the sea to Echigo by boat from Chongjin, so they passed Zhu Di's side.And Yang Feng immediately spread his miniature version of Fulu Banquet. Although Jin Yiwei followed behind and confiscated it exhaustingly, it is impossible for this kind of thing not to be hidden.Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how much Yang Feng had printed, so it was enough for the Jin Yiwei to confiscate some of them to fool him.

Where is the emperor?

It's okay if you don't tell him?
Moreover, it is impossible to actually confiscate it. Yang Feng distributed a copy, and Jin Yiwei was exhausted after mobilizing his teachers and mobilizing people, but he might not be able to find it.

As soon as you confiscated it, he distributed another ten copies.

As long as the common people want to hide it privately, you can’t send a Jinyiwei to watch it. Besides, you have to make sure that the Jinyiwei won’t peep. In fact, a Jinyiwei has been caught peeking before. Don't do it, let everyone take care of this matter!
I couldn't even check it!

A complete ban is actually quite simple.

Just set Yang Feng's printing factory on fire.

But do you dare?

Let's ask His Majesty the Emperor, do you dare?
You dare not!

If that's the case, it's fine.

And the emperor's grandson's attitude towards this matter is somewhat reminiscent...

He doesn't seem to care.

More precisely, he seems to be happy to see the popularity of this book.

Of course, understandable.

The core of Fuluyan's attack is the vassal system, and he is the one who wants to cut down the vassal the most. Some people even doubt whether it is because he is in partnership with Yang Feng, and the latter deliberately releases this Fuluyan to create a vassal among the people. Public opinion has caused common people to have doubts and dissatisfaction with the vassal system.In this way, after he succeeds to the throne, he can use the promotion of public opinion to attack those vassal kings. If you think about it carefully, you will find that this is entirely possible.

The throne was bestowed by Taizu.

After the death of His Majesty the emperor, the one who affirmed the temple name Taizu, the imperial throne...

He seems to have indeed given one to the king of Chu.

Dig the Yellow River.

Isn't that where King Zhou is?
Apart from Kaifeng, which city is suitable for attacking by digging the Yellow River?
In other words, this is a part of the emperor's grandson's strategic layout.

Really strict investigation?
That is to destroy his layout.

He is the future emperor, and now His Majesty is almost seventy, how many years can he last even if he is in good health?In a few years, the grandson of the emperor will be enthroned, everyone who is sensible should be more sensible!

A month later.

Ma On Shan.

The south of the Yangtze River in spring is already full of green.

"So in just one month, this book has spread outside the city?"

Yang Feng looked at a few workers on the iron mining site who were resting and watching the Fulu Banquet.

Here is his iron ore base.

Although the iron ore here is high in phosphorus, he has no other choice. Of course, the iron ore in Guangdong and Hainan Island is the best, but the problem is that it is far away and difficult to develop, especially the iron ore in Hainan Island, which is now a virgin forest. .The high-quality iron ore in Guangdong is also located in the deep mountains. The operation mode of Guangdong Iron Smelting is to mine in the valley, smelt it with charcoal on the spot, and then transport it to Foshan by water for trading and finishing.It is impossible for him to transport the iron ore from Guangdong, so he can only use the nearby Ma'anshan. As for dephosphorization, he can only find a way.

Fortunately, it can also be used.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wuhu was the center of the steel industry.

The famous Su Gang.

The name Su Steel is actually Wuhu Steel.

The use of iron ore is on this vein in southern Anhui.

"So Jin Yiwei checked and checked, and confiscated two hundred copies to fool your father? I remember we printed more than 1 copies in total."

He said.

"In order to check the two hundred or so books, Jin Yiwei spared half of his manpower to search the capital every day until the curfew. There was no idle day for half a month. They searched in front of them, and you little goblins in the back. They Confiscate one copy, and those goblins will distribute dozens of copies.

All the ones found were from children, and none were under the age of eight.

Parents say they don't know.

My father didn't want to make a fuss, after all, he also knew that the bigger the noise, the more he would know, so he asked Jin Yiwei to just search for the book.

No real arrests. "

said the little princess.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he could not be banned.

In the past, he couldn't even ban counterfeit banknotes, let alone this thing. If he really put a big prison on it because of this, it would be tantamount to promoting Yang Feng. The common people who didn't know what happened before were all interested.

He just expressed it symbolically.

Let Yang Feng and the officials know that he is not helpless.

But really thorough investigation?

How much would that cost?
As soon as Yang Feng's printing machine was turned on, he could print a bunch of them in one night, and his adopted daughters could distribute them all to him the next day, and then he distributed a copy, Jin Yiwei had to mobilize his teachers, toss for a long time, and caused public resentment to boil to find out.It can be said that it is not cost-effective at all in terms of cost, and it can even be said to be a hundred times or a thousand times that of Yang Feng. He can't afford it. Besides, Yang Feng is not limited to the capital, and can also be distributed outside the capital.At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had to pay ten thousand times the cost to confiscate it. Jin Yiwei didn't do anything, just followed Yang Feng's ass and confiscated it. His Majesty the Emperor is a sensible person, knowing that this round was lost, and the more he followed the fight, the more he lost.

He just couldn't swallow it.

After all, the old thief was played by a small thief.

Very annoyed!

As for directly arresting and beheading people with his usual iron fist, just like my Qing Dynasty...

But he is not my Daqing!

Nanjing is his base, so he cut off the heads of those military households?

Besides, everyone knows that it was Yang Feng who took revenge on him, and his solution is very simple, just destroy Yang Feng's printing factory. Look down upon.

Therefore, killing and ransacking the house is even more incompetent and furious.

He wants a face too!
So be it!

Anyway, there is no real impact, it is nothing more than the common people began to doubt some of his systems, but the problem is that he himself knew the result of the development of these systems. In short, the ban must be banned, of course, but he will let it go if he can't help it.

"Then the medicine can't be stopped, I have to publish a new book for him!"

Yang Feng said.

At this time, banners appeared in the distance, and below the banners came a large group of cavalry.

This was originally the main post road, and there were often troops coming and going. Their carriages stopped to make way for the road, and soon the vanguard of the cavalry arrived, driving away pedestrians with their whips...

"Get out of the way, the Duke of Liang has entered the court by order."

The leading officer brandished his horsewhip and scolded like the legendary evil slave.

Behind him is the guard of honor.

Flags and title plates were held by the elite cavalrymen.

And behind the guard of honor was a middle-aged man in a red uniform, who looked very burly, with an eight-beam crown symbolizing the status of a duke, sitting on a horse with a blank expression on his face, with a very imposing look. look, ignoring the panicked salutes of those passers-by on the side of the road...

Sapphire has arrived.
