Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 242 The Lion's Big Opening

Under the expectant eyes of all the beautiful girls, Zhu Houzhao took a piece of jade Ruyi from the tray held by Liu Jin, and put it in the hands of the talented Jiangnan girl Xie Lingxuan that the Empress Dowager Zhang was talking about.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao chose everything that Queen Mother Zhang mentioned, but his eyes remained calm.

Among the selected beautiful girls, Zhu Houzhao did not intend to establish a queen, but at most would give a noble concubine.

It wasn't long before he got rid of the fetters of the vassal king Xungui, and he wouldn't make trouble for himself any more.

The goods were loaded on ships and sailed across the ocean. Zhengde Dynasty's fleet was divided into fifteen routes to various dynasties to carry out trade and cultural exchanges.

Since time and space merged, Master Bao deliberately connected the sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty into one line, so it is not difficult to reach the mainland where the dynasties are located.

"Foreign ministers see His Majesty Hongwu Emperor."

Selected by the Ministry of Etiquette, Yu Chengru, the director of Honglu Temple who was in charge of going to the Hongwu Dynasty, bowed to Lao Zhu.

"Free gift!"

Old Zhu said indifferently: "Foreign envoys have worked hard from afar."

Even though they were both in the Ming Dynasty, each of them could be regarded as an independent country at this stage of development. Lao Zhu received Yu Chengru with the ceremony of receiving envoys from other countries, which was not considered a violation of the rules.

"I sent foreign ministers to His Majesty to establish a long-term trade relationship with the Hongwu Dynasty. I wonder what Your Majesty would like?"

Seeing Yu Chengru's serious look, Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing and said: "The sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty belonged to one body, and the establishment of trade relations is also a matter of course. Naturally, we fully support it."

"It's just that we are very curious about what strange items the Zhengde dynasty has that can be traded with our dynasty."

There was a sense of contempt in the words, agreeing to open trade exchanges does not mean that he will buy things from the Zhengde Dynasty. He wants nothing from the Hongwu Dynasty, so why must he spend the money outside.

Many ministers of the Hongwu Dynasty also showed arrogance. As the first dynasty of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they naturally had an inexplicable sense of superiority over the other dynasties after Hongwu.

"I look towards Wuhua Tianbao, outstanding people, treasures emerge in endlessly, and there are things that interest His Majesty."

Facing the contempt of the emperor and ministers of the Hongwu Dynasty, Yu Chengru said neither humble nor overbearing.

Can be selected by the Ministry of Rites, as an envoy to the Hongwu Dynasty, he looks ugly, but he is a smart person, especially good at adapting to the situation.

"That's right, let's see how many treasures the Zhengde Dynasty has!"

Old Zhu said irrefutably, and the officials also sneered secretly, waiting to see the joke.

Papapa

Yu Chengru clapped his palms three times, and two soldiers responsible for protecting the mission came in carrying a large box, put the box down, and then exited the hall.

The emperors and ministers of the Hongwu Dynasty were all curious about what was in the box.

Yu Chengru stepped forward to open the box, took out an emerald green jade bracelet from it, and put it in the palm of his hand, a strange fragrance reverberated in the hall.

The tangy aroma lifted the spirits of the monarchs and ministers of the Hongwu Dynasty, and seemed to dispel a lot of fatigue.

"This item is called Tianxiang Jade Bracelet. It can emit a strange fragrance, dispel fatigue, and also have the effect of beautifying and beautifying the face."

Yu Chengru held his head high and proudly introduced, he can guarantee that there will be absolutely no such thing in the Hongwu Dynasty.

He was also a little embarrassed in his heart. In the Zhengde Dynasty, the overall value of jade bracelets did not exceed 100 taels of silver. Those black-hearted guys from the household department actually asked him to shout as high as the price.

Anyway, no matter what, it is to sell things to Hong Wuchao at a high price, buy them at a low price, and sell them at a high price. This is a huge profit.

"Tianxiang Jade Bracelet, good stuff!"

Smelling the strange fragrance in the air carefully, Hong Wuchao and all the ministers stared straight at him, wishing to snatch the jade bracelet from Yu Chengru immediately and take it for himself.

A jade bracelet that exudes a strange fragrance, even if you don't need it, you can wear it for your wife or concubine, which is a very dignified thing.

"Zhu Houzhao, the little bastard, is willing."

Looking at the so-called Tianxiang jade bracelet, Lao Zhu murmured to himself. At first he thought that Zhu Houzhao would not trade good things, but he didn't expect that Wang Zha made the move.

He also really wanted the Tianxiang Jade Bracelet. Give it to Empress Ma, and Empress Ma should like it.

However, in the next second, he was dumbfounded. After Yu Chengru succeeded the Tianxiang jade bracelet, he brought out several rare treasures, which made the Hongwu Dynasty's civil and military officials salivate.

A wooden basin that can be cleaned automatically as long as you put clothes in it;
A crown garment that emits colorful light;

A helmet that can transform into a phantom of a tiger's head.

Invulnerable light armor;
Vases that can maintain the vitality of plants;

A rocking chair that makes people feel comfortable when they sit on it;
A crown that can keep people in peace of mind and automatically remove dust;
All kinds of items with extraordinary functions were placed in front of the emperor and ministers of Hongwu Dynasty, which stunned the emperor and ministers of Hongwu Dynasty.

They never expected that the Zhengde dynasty would have so many rare treasures.

"Could it be that the dynasties after my dynasty have been so rich that treasures are everywhere?"

The ministers of Hong Wuchao couldn't help but think.

"There are tricks, there are definitely tricks."

Old Zhu had been to the Zhengde Dynasty, and he knew the situation of the Zhengde Dynasty fairly well. When he went last time, the Zhengde Dynasty did not have these rare treasures at all, and this suddenly appeared, which is definitely a big problem.

Either Zhu Houzhao hid it deliberately, or he didn't know where he got it recently.

Compared with the former, Lao Zhu is more inclined to the latter possibility.

Nothing but intuition!

"How do you plan to trade these rare treasures?"

Doubt is doubtful, Lao Zhu is still very jealous of the many treasures that Chengru puts out, as long as the price is not too outrageous, he can eat what Yu Chengru brings.

"These are rare treasures in my dynasty. The reason why I am willing to trade them with your dynasty is to prove my sincerity in establishing a long-term trade relationship with your dynasty."

"Take out these treasures to trade, and my heart aches to Your Majesty."

Yu Chengru babbled for a long time, and finally, under Lao Zhu's impatient eyes, he opened his mouth: "A treasure with extraordinary effects, 100 million taels of silver, no counter-offer."

"I reluctantly took out these treasures to establish diplomatic relations with Hongwu Dynasty. Presumably His Majesty Hongwu will not embarrass foreign ministers."

At the end, I didn't forget to add a sentence, which made Lao Zhu speechless, and swallowed the words he wanted to bargain.

Everyone said that he was reluctant to give up his love, if he bargained again, wouldn't it appear that Hong Wuchao was too shameless and too poor!
Lao Zhu would never do something that would embarrass him!
But he was really envious of that set of crown clothes that could radiate colorful light.

He winked at his loyal dog leg, Yang Xian, who immediately understood, stepped out and said, "Although these treasures are strange, they are playthings after all, and their usefulness is limited."

"One million taels of silver is too expensive. Can you decide to lower the price? If the price is right, I can eat all the goods you brought."

"My lord, please do not embarrass the foreign ministers. These treasures are treasured items even in our court. If they are traded with your court, our court will also suffer a lot of losses. It is not impossible to sell them to your court at a lower price. How will I explain to His Majesty when I go back?"

Yu Chengru said firmly, resolutely refused to lower the price.

His bragging appearance made the officials of the Hongwu Dynasty have an illusion that those "rare and rare treasures" are really expensive, and selling them for 100 million taels is considered a cheap sale!
