The Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to go ocean-going. This was the biggest problem in the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade. Although the Ming Dynasty could rely on its own commodity advantages to capture Luzon both when it wanted and when it needed it, the four-masted sailboat of the Red Mao Fan could still arrive at the port as scheduled. , but the Ming Dynasty could not go far across the ocean. The trade routes were under the control of others, so the Ming Dynasty was passive.
Therefore, when Antonio wanted to present a gift to the emperor and proposed a franchise, Chen Xuexue did not hesitate. As a minister of Honglu Temple, he could not make the decision on such a big matter, but he knew clearly that the court would not agree to it. .
This kind of franchise, Chen Xuexue can understand, is an exclusive agent. In Lisbon, only Antonio's ship can sell Ming Dynasty goods.
Antonio spoke again: "I can accept a 20% punitive tariff."
Antonio is the heir to the Portuguese throne, but his identity is rather embarrassing. He is an illegitimate son. His father is Luis, the second son of Manuel I. Antonio's embarrassing identity as an illegitimate son determines that he will not be favored by the nobility. their support.
But he had a lot of support among the common people, and Antonio moved for the throne.
The Ming Dynasty's goods franchise will be an important tool for him to gain recognition from the nobility, so he hopes to firmly hold on to this exclusive power in Portugal.
"No." Chen Xuexue said with a smile: "It is impossible for the imperial court to issue a decree asking merchants all over the world to sell their goods to whomever they want. Even if such an order is issued, it is nothing more than a piece of paper."
A government decree really couldn't be done. The imperial court asked the Nanya magnates to hand in their armored crossbows. Ge sold all his armored crossbows to the Japanese pirates. Zhao Wancui, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Yang Zhao, the governor, even sent soldiers from the capital to The armor from Liaodong was sold to Jiannu and Beilu.
The imperial decree was not as powerful as imagined. It could strictly control the world. It was something that was impossible, not even Emperor Hongwu could do.
When the Ming Dynasty was established, many old Confucian scholars of the Yuan Dynasty refused to serve in official positions in order to prevent their submission to the emperor and deny the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty regime.
Emperor Hongwu issued an imperial decree to allow old Confucians to serve as officials. Two Confucian scholars, Xia Boqi and his nephew from Guixin County, Guangxin Prefecture, had their left thumbs amputated. They refused to serve because of their physical disabilities. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and arrested the two people in Beijing. He personally interrogation.
Therefore, there is a law in the Ming Dynasty: The scholar-bureaucrats in the ring are not used by the emperor. When the emperor's decree comes, the scholars who refuse to serve as officials will end up being beheaded and their homes confiscated.
When Zhu Yijun issued an order to seize love and revive Liang Menglong and Zhao Mengyou, they had to return to the court as officials.
Antonio said very depressedly: "No, the Ming Dynasty can do it. Under the decree of the Ming Dynasty, we can no longer buy any raw silk, we can only buy finished silk. I have never seen any country's decree. Such a magical effect.”
"Things are not as simple as you think." Chen Xuexue did not continue to explain. To explain this issue clearly, we must talk about contradictions, and then we can talk about the complex opposition and unity of power from top to bottom and from bottom to top. relation.
The theory of contradiction is so invincible when it comes to deconstructing power and contradictions. The Ming Dynasty was able to ban raw silk from going to the sea because the merchants of the Ming Dynasty wanted to use raw silk to produce silk. Therefore, the imperial court's strict prohibition was on the one hand, and the cooperation of the powerful gentry and wealthy households was another. on the one hand.
It is forbidden to export raw silk to the sea, but there is a rare consensus among the court and powerful people.
Look at how much trouble has been caused by clearing out encroachments, returning land, and collecting taxes.
"Then the Portuguese cargo ship I brought will be exempted from punitive tariffs? I expressed my personal sincere respect in exchange for the Ming Emperor's personal forgiveness." Antonio changed his approach. Since he could not obtain the franchise, he would retreat. The next best thing is to express personal respect in exchange for his personal tax exemption.
"What you want is one thing, no." Chen Xuexue shook his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty exempted you from personal punitive tariffs, which means that you have privileges. Your privileges will bring even worse effects. All Xiao Fo Lang machines Everyone’s merchant ships will be in your name, whether they belong to you personally or not.”
Privilege economy, this is playing on the minefield of the Ming Dynasty. It was because of the dictatorship of the late emperor that led to the corruption of the northwest. With such a big scandal in the court, Antonio actually wanted privileges? Tomorrow Tiqi will kick down the door and drag Antonio to the vegetable market to behead him.
Antonio found that Chen Xuexue was really very difficult to deal with. This guy could always tell his purpose at a glance. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no more gifts."
Chen Xuexue said calmly: "Let me remind you, this is Ming Dynasty. Since you have something that His Majesty is interested in, but you are unwilling to take it out, there are many people in Ming Dynasty who want you to hand over these things."
"It's so shameless!" Antonio stood up suddenly and said in disbelief: "I always thought that the Ming Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven. This was a business. How could it be so shameless!"
Tongshi didn't know for a moment whether to translate or not.
Chen Xuexue ignored Tongshi, stood up and said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment."
"This place is different from the West. The clergy, nobles, and wealthy businessmen there have no respect for the imperial court. But here, His Majesty is still the only piece of heaven in the Ming Dynasty. He is the king and father of everyone in the Ming Dynasty. You either don't mention it or you don't mention it." Just give a gift.”
"Theoretically, the entire empire, even the earthworms underground, must serve His Majesty."
Shameless?
If the empire's diplomats can't even be shameless, how can they seek benefits for the Ming Dynasty court and call Rouyuan people all day long? In exchange, the red-haired fans will join the big family of Japanese pirates, join forces, and join the bandits together.
Etiquette, justice and shame are what the Ming Dynasty talks about to the people of the Ming Dynasty. It is like a black man with black hair on his head, who is just a farm tool on the plantation, while the Taixi people on the ground in Taixi, with their black hair, are noble, authoritative and sacred. The symbol is the same.
Chen Xuexue was not joking. Earthworms really wanted to work in plowing the soil in Baoqisi's fields.
Chen Xuexue said with a smile: "You can think about it and exchange it for a bargaining chip before it's too late."
Antonio was silent for a long time, and then he said frustratedly: "What about the franchise of colored glaze? As far as I know, firing colored glaze is the emperor's own business. This can be done, and the output is not very large. I can ask for some money. Is that so? You can’t steal it openly!”
Chen Xuexue stood up and said: "I will report it truthfully, but you should not hold on to the exclusive right to own this product forever. With the approval of the court, it can only be for five years at most, and then a better candidate will be replaced."
"Okay, the deal is done, then I will submit your list."
Antonio looked at Legas and asked with a frown: "The court of the Ming Dynasty has lost its former kindness."
Antonio partially agrees with Francisco's opinion. The Ming Dynasty is indeed extremely arrogant. In the past, arrogance was looking down on others. A little expression of sincere respect can bring massive benefits, that is, the favor of tribute trade. reward.
But now the Ming court is still extremely arrogant, but this arrogance is more overbearing and focused on interests.
Legaz thought for a moment and said with certainty: "To be more precise: it's just hard to deceive."
"I agree with your idea." Antonio and Legas also looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The Ming court became more pragmatic, which was not good news for them.
"I think the most important thing you should do now is to pay the tax stamp in full, because if you don't pay it clearly, you will become...unfortunate." Legas' expression was full of fear. Taxes are a great terror.
Tiqi Yamen will send the death reminder to your hand at any time, and it will really remind you.
Jiangsu Ge family's house was confiscated.
Chen Xuexue reported the gift list and other items in detail to Wan Shihe.
After Wan Shihe heard Chen Xuexue's threat, he frowned and said, "How could you say it? It's already shameless. If you say it, you'll be disgraced. Don't threaten me next time."
"I thought that Guild Wan would say such things about Rouyuan people, but I didn't expect that he just told me not to say it." Chen Xuexue was a little surprised. His wish to go further was in vain. He, who is the third-ranked person, is facing the second-ranked Minister of Etiquette. , salivating, that is the Ming Gong who can sit in the Wenhua Palace to discuss matters.
Wan Shihe said quite accurately: "Isn't it already over? Just play it in your own name."
His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, couldn’t put it down with his arithmetic treasure book. It can be said to be the crown of all the great works of mathematics in the Ming Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that the new collection is a comprehensive collection of ancient and modern works. If the publication becomes popular, the arithmetic of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably reach a higher level. .
For example, there is a 'calculation table' in the Arithmetic Book, which is used to solve equations, etc.;
For example, Shuishu Baojian strongly praises the idea of "analyzing principles with words and deconstructing with pictures", emphasizing the importance of combining numbers and shapes;
For example, there are clear regulations on the 'Grind of Arithmetic', such as definitions, and general proof ideas based on deductive logic. This is also the reason why there are very few errors in the Arithmetic Guide;
For example, Mathematics Baojian shows the distinctive characteristics of mechanics, programming and structure.
Of course, looking at it from the perspective of Zhu Yijun's later generations, there are still some mistakes in this book, and a lot of things that are difficult to understand. Zhu Zaiyu took Cheng Dawei, an Hui merchant who had already entered Beijing, to make proofreading notes on this book, combining it with the Thai and Western Arithmetic, further simplifying mathematics.
It includes the use of a large number of mathematical symbols, the comprehensive promotion of lowercase numbers, the habit of writing from left to right, the combination of numbers and shapes, standard rulers and compasses, the definition of arithmetic principles, general certificates, etc.
These things are very suitable in Zhu Zaiyu's view. Arithmetic is inherently difficult, so simplify it. The easier it is to understand, the simpler the better. However, you need to consider one or two things about the power of the court wind. Zhu Zaiyu has already seen the public opinion of the power of the court wind. The horror was simply beyond what he could handle.
"Your Majesty, the study of arithmetic has been abolished in recent hundreds of years. There are two reasons for its abolishment: one is the Confucianism of theory and theory, and the country is ignorant of the practical affairs of the world; the other is the magic of magic, the fallacy of counting. Principles can know the comings and goings, and will not lead to anything. Those who die in the spirit will have no effect, but those who are real will perish and survive."
"Once this book is published, it will probably cause criticism from all over the world." Zhu Zaiyu has completely compiled the arithmetic enlightenment and has passed the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, but he does not dare to release it.
Even Cheng Dawei, the Huizhou merchant who was also responsible for the compilation work, also held conservative opinions on this extremely deviant but very accurate arithmetic enlightenment book.
Cheng Dawei's "Algorithmic Tongzong" contains songs about pregnancy and childbirth. In Cheng Dawei's view, the right way is to have a three-week diameter of one and a square of five and seven.
Zhu Yijun smiled and asked: "Can the emperor understand Tianyuan Technique?"
"Yes." Zhu Zaiyu said with certainty.
"Can Dr. Cheng understand Tianyuan Technique?" Zhu Yijun looked at Mr. Cheng and asked.
"Yes." Cheng Dawei was also very convinced.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Most of the Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty can't understand Tianyuan Technique, so the emperor doesn't need to be afraid, because they really don't understand it."
Gu Yingxiang, a disciple of Wang Yangming, was already one of the few Confucian disciples who was proficient in arithmetic. When he wrote "The Interpretation of the Classification of Circular Sea Mirrors", because he did not understand the art of Tianyuan, he said that "every piece of grass can only be calculated by one Tianyuan." , but there is no place to start, and all the content of Tianyuan Shu is deleted, buying a coffin and returning a pearl, which will cause ridicule for the ages.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. If you don’t understand it, you won’t learn it. You just delete it all and don’t even read it. This is what Confucian scholars did in the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the reason why those Confucian scholars who admire Zhengxue have repeatedly clamored for Wang Yangming to enter the Confucius Temple, but they have been blocked by the court. Most of Wang Yangming's disciples are the kind of wine bags and rice bags that are deleted after they can't understand. They are obviously trapped. And knowing it becomes sleepy but not knowing it, deleting it, and if you delete it, it will be as if it does not exist.
With stuff like this, Zhu Yijun is afraid of them?
Tianyuan Shu is to set up an unknown number .
As long as Tianyuan Shu pays a little attention, you will know what it is talking about. Even Feng Bao, Zhang Hong and the young eunuchs in the inner study can understand it. Does Gu Yingxiang not understand it, or does he not understand it at all?
If you don’t understand and still want to vent your frustrations, then don’t blame Zhu Yijun for scolding others.
Degree bypass, accurate calculation and recording, are not without results. For example, the flying wing sailboat's parts drawings, assembly drawings, design instructions and modification instructions are once again in Beijing. Even if the Daming Shipyard is destroyed, as long as you want to do it, you can do it. You can take the drawings of these flying-wing sailboats and build them again immediately.
"Enlightenment of arithmetic will be handed over to the Sanjing Factory for publication and will be published all over the world. If you are not convinced, just submit a petition to argue." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhu Zaiyu, determined the formula for enlightenment of arithmetic, and prepared to promote it all over the world.
In the early morning of the next day, the August sunshine was bright, and the day's court discussions began again. Zhu Yijun came to the Wenhua Hall and began his daily listening to the imperial affairs.
When Zhang Juzheng turned out the first memorial, he seemed a little distracted.
"Yuanfu?" Second Assistant Lu Tiaoyang reminded Zhang Juzheng, where is the court meeting? Why are you so distracted? Hosting a meeting!
Zhang Juzheng put the memorial on the table and said with a sullen face, "Yu Menglin's memorial to the enlightenment of arithmetic is a prophecy and monstrous art. It should be strictly prohibited and goes against the laws of our ancestors." Act of."
This memorial was very long, but the content in it was actually relatively empty. Zhang Juzheng continued concisely and concisely: "Your Majesty Zhu approved: rice is 1,200 shi, and the price of silver per dou is six cents, two and a half millimeters. I asked how much silver the meter has. "
"Yu Menglin replied: One thousand, five hundred taels of silver."
"Your Majesty Zhu Pi: Don't do business in the future."
After Tan Lun listened dully, he was stunned for a long time and then said in surprise: "Yu Menglin is the prodigy of the Ming Dynasty. He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he was listening, he was listening, he was stunned. One stone is six cents and two cents and five cents, one thousand two hundred stones, shouldn't it be seven hundred and fifty taels of silver?"
"Da Situ, did I make a mistake?"
Wang Guoguang said in astonishment: "No, it's just a matter of reducing the accumulation of Yin Pass, which is seven hundred and fifty taels of silver."
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I was afraid that Yu Tanhua wouldn't understand and would make a joke, so I made up a round number for him, but he still didn't understand."
"Hahaha!" Tan Lun burst out laughing as soon as he slapped his legs. After he realized that he had lost his manners, he waved his hands and said, "I am guilty. Your Majesty, forgive me. I did not want to destroy the majesty of Fengtian Palace, but it is really... I couldn’t help it, if he were to be the governor of military affairs, wouldn’t it be, wouldn’t it be..."
"No problem, no problem." Zhu Yijun waved his hand nonchalantly, and he could laugh if he wanted to. Yu Menglin didn't understand, or maybe he made a mistake, and he still didn't want to make people laugh?
Tan Lun really couldn't imagine that Yu Tanhua would be the governor of military affairs in the future, plan military rations, and buy them at twice the price, which would probably make people laugh to death.
Zhang Juzheng continued: "Yu Tanhua was probably unconvinced. He calculated it again and said: The calculation was wrong. It should be seven hundred and fifty taels. I still have to report the calculation method."
"His Majesty also wrote: Each of the three people has three taels and five cents. I want A to give B five cents more, and B to C three cents more. I want to ask, how much should each give? Explain the calculation."
Tan Lun asked with a smile: "Then what? Yu Tanhua doesn't know how to calculate on her own, doesn't she know how to find someone to help her?"
"Ashamed to ask." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Yu Tanhua refused to ask, and he didn't know how to do it, so he only gave an answer, A should be worth one or two six cents, B should be worth one or two cents, and C should be eight cents. "
"Your Majesty gave three solutions. Among them, the three-yuan method of heaven, earth and man, assuming unknown, the sum of heaven, earth and man is three taels and five cents, the sky minus the earth is five cents, the earth minus the man is three cents, x+y+z=3.5, xy =0.5, yz=0.3, the solution is: x=1.6, y=1.1, z=0.8, and the substitution verification is established."
It’s just the application of Tian Yuan, Tian Di Yuan, Tian Earth Human Yuan, and Four Yuan Technique.
"Let me take a look." Wang Guoguang took the memorial, looked at it briefly, and exhaled. This thing is simple, but in fact it is not complicated. But if Yu Menglin is asked to solve it, Yu Menglin probably won't be able to solve it. Yu Menglin... The answer is most likely made up.
His Majesty's use of Tianyuan Technique can be said to be extremely proficient. Wang Guoguang can understand it. He can also understand such a big bad book as the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Guoguang said with emotion: "Your Majesty's other two solutions are both differences, (3.5-0.8-0.3)/3=0.8, C is eight coins; or (3.5+0.5+0.8)/3=1.6, A is One, two or six coins, different paths lead to the same goal. In fact, it’s okay (3.5-0.5+0.3)/3=1.1, B is one tael or one coin.”
"Wonderful."
"It's a good thing that Yu Tanhua didn't get called to the Wenhua Hall by His Majesty to scold him." Tan Lun said with a smile on his face. He could understand that A was eight dollars more than C, and B was three dollars more than C. The total was Subtract eight qian, three qian, and divide by three.
"What are you talking about?" Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, took the memorial and felt dizzy. If he wanted to continue to be the Ming Gong in the future, would he have to learn arithmetic? !
Wan Shihe suddenly felt that Chen Xuexue was pretty good, wasn't it called Xuexue? Let him learn it.
Zhang Juzheng took back the memorial and said: "Yu Tanhua is still not convinced. He continues to submit the memorial. Your Majesty asked another question, saying: The official's advice is two hundred and twenty dan, for twenty-four households in the upper class, thirty-one households in the middle class, Forty-five lower-upper households and sixty-eight upper-middle households. Upper-upper households have more than seven dou from middle-upper households, middle-upper households have more lower-upper households with four dou, and lower-upper households have more upper-middle households with three dou. Question, fourth grade How many households should there be?"
"Yu Tanhua was finally convinced this time. He reported to me: I am stupid. Your Majesty commented: Read more."
Households in the Ming Dynasty were divided into many divisions, such as upper-upper, middle-upper, lower-upper, upper-middle, middle-middle, lower-middle, upper-lower, middle-lower, lower-lower, etc. Once there was a war, they had to collect food. Every household was different. Yin Zhengmao encountered this problem when he quelled the Japanese bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi. He asked how much each household should donate.
"How much?" Wan Shihe exclaimed as if he was illiterate in arithmetic.
Zhang Juzheng did some calculations and said: "The top two stones and three buckets, the twenty-four households have a total of fifty-five stones and two buckets; the middle and upper households each have one stone and six buckets, and the thirty-one households have a total of forty-nine stones and six buckets; the bottom Each upper household has one stone and two dou, for a total of fifty-four stone for forty-five households; nine dou for each upper middle household, and a total of sixty-one stone and two dou for the sixty-eight households."
"Yuan Fu is also good at arithmetic?" Wan Shihe looked at Zhang Juzheng stretching out a hand and said in horror.
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Generally, I have nothing to do and I have read two books."
"Is it normal?" Wan Shihe said absentmindedly. If this is considered normal, what else is unusual?
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "It's actually very simple."
"Oh..." Wan Shihe fell silent. Like Yu Tanhua, he didn't know how to explain this thing.
"The method is the same. Wan Shangshu will understand it after careful consideration." Zhang Juzheng closed the memorial, and Yu Menglin walked in his majesty's hands for several rounds. He was defeated again and again, and finally ended up with the minister being stupid. Yu Menglin said from the title The difficulty is obvious. If he asks again, His Majesty should call him to the Wenhua Hall for lessons.
Wan Shihe sat there blankly, and then the expression on his face changed from fear to peace. In the past two years as the Minister of Rites, Wan Shihe felt that the moment he was alive was when he was scolded and wanted to die, but Wan Shihe Kazuya gradually got used to it. He was plain and indifferent, so he died. Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor, Mr. Gensuke, and the courtiers did not ask him to do more.
It would be good if the errands at hand are done well and no mistakes are made.
"Sir." Zhu Yijun said.
Just like a conditioned reflex, Zhang Juzheng stood up suddenly, bowed his head and said, "I'm here."
"Sir, why does our country have a banquet method?" Zhu Yijun asked very calmly.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your majesty's study or laziness today will determine whether he will rule or chaos in the future. If you are eager to learn, the gentlemen of the world will admire you, and you will stand in the court, serve your majesty with straight principles, assist in virtue and lead to peace; if you are lazy, you will be a villain. They all move their hearts to do evil and flattery in order to gain wealth and honor. If people don't learn, they don't know righteousness."
Logically speaking, the little emperor playing with abacus and learning arithmetic was not doing his job properly. Zhang Juzheng, as the emperor's advisor to the Yuan Dynasty, should speak out and remonstrate, rebuke Chen Shan, and help His Majesty get back on track. But His Majesty did a good job in his job. The Four Books and Five Classics, the Theory of Contradiction, and the Theory of Public and Private Affairs, so it is enough to do a little arithmetic. At present, the Ming Dynasty does lack arithmetic talents.
"It's true." Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "If you don't learn, you are not suitable. If you don't learn when you are young, what will you do when you are old? If jade is not polished, it will not become a weapon. If you don't learn, you don't know righteousness. But these Confucian scholars clearly don't understand arithmetic. If you are still unwilling to learn, you are really tired of studying.”
"Sir, sir, I wrote to Shen Jiuzhang to rectify academic affairs. The number one scholar and the best scholar don't know arithmetic. Shouldn't they learn it?"
"Should." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "The enlightenment of arithmetic has been promoted since the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. From now on, just like me, the academy supervisor will take a monthly exam on the 29th of every month. The emperor's uncle will set the questions and papers. If you fail the exam, you will be punished with three copies." Do it a hundred times, and publish the list of the ten people with the highest and lowest scores every month."
"I will also take the arithmetic test on the 29th. The school's arithmetic test starts with me."
"When posting this yellow bulletin, the characters must be large. Set up the plaques and post them everywhere at the gates of the capital for everyone coming from the south to the north to see. Put up the small plaques and post them in front of the gates of each square. That's it for the time being."
Find something to do for these Hanlin and supervisory students who have nothing to do all day long, increase the intensity, and there are no punishments or rewards. They are just posting on the list.
As long as the supervisors and officials can afford to shame this person, Zhu Yijun will post it once a month.
"I... obey the order." After Zhang Juzheng heard this, he obeyed his command. Your Majesty is already a mature Majesty. The Imperial Academy and the supervisors will probably suffer from this.
"Would the courtier take the exam?" Wan Shihe shuddered and asked doubtfully. He was already this age. If he took the arithmetic exam again, he would probably be ranked last every month. When the time comes, he would hang himself from the beam. , and save yourself from being criticized.
Hanlin and supervisors are both students, and he is the Minister of Rites. He really can't afford to lose that person.
Ge Shouli looked at Wan Shihe with an indifferent expression. He was the Minister of Household Affairs during the Longqing period. He had spent a lot of time studying the "Baojian of Arithmetic Studies" and was fully confident that he would fail in the arithmetic examination.
"Let's talk about the court discussion." Zhu Yijun said with a smile and continued his self-study class. He not only had Zhang Juzheng's direct interpretation of the four books at hand, but also arithmetic enlightenment and arithmetic treasure guide.
Zhang Juzheng took out a memorandum and said: "The Minister of Honglu Temple reported that Antonio, the Western red-haired panther, presented some auspicious signs and asked the court for permission. He wanted the right to sell the glaze monopoly. Your Majesty approved: five years, selection and exclusive operation." "
"What do you think?"
Wan Shihe immediately expressed his position and said: "The Ministry of Rites has proposed and the Ministry of Rites agrees."
Wang Guoguang took the circulated memorandum, stood up suddenly, looked at the list in his hand, and said after reading for a long time: "Antonio has a respectful heart, should we change it to a glass franchise? Shouldn't we change it to a punitive tariff? Something more valuable?"
Tan Lun took the memorial and said, "What is he going to offer that would shock the great Situ so much? Oh! Good, good! Very good! The Ministry of War has no objections."
The courtiers talked a lot. The things Antonio brought were said to be expensive, but in fact they were very cheap. They were said to be cheap, but they were priceless treasures to the Ming Dynasty.
The court meeting passed unanimously without any doubt. Zhu Yijun stamped his seal and said: "Let's do it tomorrow. Let Antonio present the gift tomorrow. He is a businessman. He has been delayed in the capital for a long time. Isn't it a delay in business?"
Zhang Hong took over the imperial edict and supervised the next chapter of the Ministry of Rites.
When Wan Shihe heard about His Majesty, he bowed his head and said, "It is not easy for Your Majesty to be kind and benevolent. This is the kindness of Rouyuan people."
This business made a lot of money, and Wan Shihe immediately changed his face. From being a barbarian with no morals, he started talking about the kindness of Rouyuan people again. After getting benefits, saying a few obedient words changed his face. Wan Shihe still had basic political qualities. some.
Sorry for being late. I went out to do some errands today. The update is finished. Please give me a monthly pass. Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
