The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 100 Worshiping Mazu (Part [-])

There are only Chang Feng and Jiu Girl in the main room, alone and widowed, in a room alone.

It's spring and the weather is getting warmer.Nine girls don't dress very tightly.Coupled with her slightly frivolous eyes and tone
The 22-year-old Chang Feng is full of vigor.In this ambiguous environment, suddenly there is a primitive impulse.

He is controlling, controlling, and controlling.Finally, reason overcame impulse.

There are dozens of paoze standing in the yard.Do not let dozens of people listen to the foot of the bed.

So Chang Feng changed the subject: "That Eunuch Li outside likes silver very much."

Nine Girls understood: "It's not the first time I've dealt with the government. It doesn't matter whether it's a headhunter in Shuntian Mansion or an officer in the Ministry of Punishment. As long as you pass the money, who doesn't want to pluck the feathers."

"The father-in-law in the palace is about the same."

"Didn't you say that you take five out of a hundred for brokering silver. I will leave two for Eunuch Li, and two for elder brother Chang. I will only keep one for myself."

"If you don't think it's enough, I'll give you Amei as a reward."

Nine girls are very good at handling things.She knows it well, helping the official's family in business, she doesn't want to take the big money.

Chang Feng said: "I'll forget it. Just don't lose Eunuch Li's share. Alright, let's go out quickly."

Chang Feng and Jiu Niu went to the door of the main room.

Chang Feng walked ahead.Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Nine Girls launched a shameless sneak attack.He squeezed his ass hard.

Chang Feng staggered and almost tripped over the threshold.

Ninth girl covered her mouth and chuckled, and said loudly: "Oh, why doesn't Brother Chang look at the bottom of his feet!"

Chang Feng was taken advantage of, and he didn't make it public.Embarrassed, he stepped over the threshold and left the main room.

Li Guang drank his tea and asked in a dark voice, "Is the deal settled?"

Chang Feng said: "It's settled."

Then Chang Feng whispered into Li Guang's ear: "Five out of a hundred. Miss Nine is willing to give you two, and she will keep three."

Li Guang believes in a common saying: cheapness does not take advantage of a bastard's temper.

Hearing that it was good, Li Guang frowned, without the rebellious expression just now, he smiled and said: "What are you talking about. Then I will leave this matter to Miss Nine."

"Chang Qianhu, I'm going back to the palace, you go back to Jinyiwei too."

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu returned to Jinyiwei.

A warrior stepped forward: "Chang Qianhu, Deputy Xu Qianhu. Eunuch Huai En and Commander Zhu are here to invite you."

The two came to the commander's room on duty.

Wynn said with a smile: "Dasun, the emperor has just ordered you to do a good job."

Chang Feng asked: "Are you talking about the errand of exchanging treasures for money and food?"

Wynn shook his head slightly: "No. On the first day of this month, the Fujian Chief Envoy's Zhezi arrived. Zhezi said that the Haojing Mazu Temple was built, and asked the imperial court to send personnel to sacrifice. "

"The emperor made a speech in the middle of the afternoon. He ordered Yang Tinghe, the head of the Ministry of Rites, to go to Fujian as the imperial envoy. He also sent five deputy envoys."

"Five deputy envoys, one for Li Guang, one for you, and one for Shizi Xu. There are also two Uncle Xiao Guo."

"This is a beautiful job!"

It was Zhu Ji's suggestion to Emperor Hongzhi to let Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the two little devil kings, follow them to Fujian.

The reason Zhu Ji gave was: the two uncles were young, so they should go to Beijing more often to do business.

In fact, Zhu Ji thought that the two of them made Jin Yiwei go crazy, without any solemnity.

A few days ago, these two little demon kings took a big bear from the Palace of Animals to the Jinyiwei school grounds, and let their wrestlers wrestle with the big bear.

If Zhu Ji hadn't stopped him in time, he might have died.

Jin Yiwei, from Zhu Ji to the low-level wrestlers, whoever saw these two little demon kings had a headache.

Only Chang Feng is not afraid of them.

Empress Zhang repeatedly told her two younger brothers: Chang Qianhu of Jinyiwei is the benefactor of our Zhang family.If you dare to bark your teeth in front of him, I will let someone beat your ass.

Chang Feng asked: "God, when will grandson leave?"

Wynn said: "The sea festival is scheduled to be on the sixth day of June. You will have time to set off at the end of March. First go to Hangzhou through the canal, and then go east to Ningbo. From Ningbo, take a sea boat to Fujian Haojing."

Chang Feng counted the time: "Master, you know, Xiaoyan should have a baby in July. If I leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until August."

Zhu Ji scolded him: "Compared with public affairs, private affairs are nothing. Do you want to abolish public affairs because of private affairs?"

Wynn was a little unhappy: "I said Commander Zhu, can you stop acting like someone who owes you two coins and doesn't pay back?"

"Chang Feng is one of us. Is there any need to scold him all day long?"

"The authority of the boss is not established by cursing people."

Compared with Wynn, Zhu Ji doesn't know how to be a good Shangguan at all.

Zhu Ji said: "My father-in-law taught me the lesson. The subordinates will keep it in mind."

Turning around, Wynn said to Chang Feng again: "Don't worry about Xiaoyan. I will take care of you. As soon as July comes, I will find an old female officer in the palace who is in charge of delivering babies and live in your house."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Thank you, Grandpa."

Wynn said again: "you should do the selling of treasures first. Anyway, there is still a month before departure. "

"If you can't finish this job before departure, I'll let Sun Luan and Xiao Jing take over."

"By the way, Yang Tinghe is a very capable person. Although his status is not as high as your five deputy envoys, he is the chief priest."

"Don't show off in front of him along the way. When you find time, go to the Ministry of Rites to meet him and get to know him."

Chang Feng listened to Wynn very much.The next day he came to the Ministry of Rites to look for Yang Tinghe.But he was told that Yang Tinghe had gone to the Siyi Pavilion to receive the envoys of the vassal states.

Siyi Pavilion is the place where the envoys of the vassal states lived when they came to Beijing.

Because it is often windy at noon, I have to go to Xiangxi Lane to talk to Nine Girls about selling treasures.He didn't have time to wait, so he simply rode to the Siyi Pavilion.

Yang Tinghe, 29, is receiving a mission.

This mission comes from the sewers of earth civilization from ancient times to the present, the ceiling of human morality, and the country of beasts that value small details but have no righteousness: the country of Wa.

Chang Feng entered the Fangchun Courtyard of Siyi Hall.

A large table was set up in Fangchun courtyard.The table is full of Japanese knives.

Yang Tinghe is negotiating the price with the Japanese envoy.

The Ming Dynasty strictly forbids maritime trade between civilians and vassal states.However, the imperial court can conduct official trade with the vassal states through forced buying and selling.

This official trade method is called: the tribute system.

The tribute system was determined by the great grandfather.

For example, the Japanese specialty that was most in demand in the Ming Dynasty was the Japanese sword.

Your Japanese diplomatic mission can bring a batch of Japanese swords to Daming in the name of paying tribute.

Don't let you Baigong.Our Daming can convert Japanese swords into silver taels.I will give you silk, tea, porcelain and other things of equivalent value.

However, how much your Japanese sword is worth, we, Daming, have the final say.

How much our silk and tea are worth is still up to us, Daming.

Feel unfair?Do you think Daming is overbearing?It doesn't matter, then let's not do this business!
Whether it is the Japanese country, or the small states of Yuyang, Annan, and Nanyang, they all have a rigid demand for Ming's goods.

Tributary trade is an absolute seller's market.Therefore, the vassal states can only grit their teeth and suffer.

The tribute system established by the Taizu seems to be a perfect system that benefits the Ming Dynasty without any harm.

However, no matter how perfect the system is, it needs people to implement it.

Over the 120 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this system has gradually changed.

The reason for the change of taste lies in the word "fool".

For example, the Ministry of Rites negotiated with the Japanese mission to exchange [-] catties of tea for [-] Japanese knives.

The Ministry of Rites will send a letter to the Governor's Yamen in Zhejiang: I will receive a thousand tribute knives from the Japanese Kingdom in the capital.In a few days, the Japanese ship will go to Ningbo to hand over [-] catties of tea to your place.

In return for gifting tea, the best tea should have been chosen.

The governor's yamen handed over the errand to the chief envoy's yamen, and the high-quality tea would become medium-grade tea.Goose plucking middlemen make a difference.

The government envoy's yamen is handed over to the Ningbo prefect's yamen, and the middle-grade tea will become low-grade tea.

Finally, it was handed over to the Dinghai County Government.Inferior tea leaves directly become high broken.

Too high and poor quality?You don't have to!As far as this high brokenness is concerned, how many Xiaobang want to kowtow to beg for it, but there is no way.

The fooling of the Ming government led to the rampant coastal smuggling trade, Japanese pirates and pirates.

Chang Feng is about to see this.

(Chapter 97 is a typo. The imperial envoy to sacrifice to Mazu is Yang Tinghe, not Yang Yiqing. Because I found that I overlooked one point. Yang Yiqing is famous in history books for being uglier than a dog. It is impossible to serve as the chief priest in Beijing Imperial envoy. Changed.)
