Legas was very confident. He had more than 300,000 taels of cash. The reason why he wanted to buy this red-haired nun was to maintain the equal status of the Ming Dynasty and Spain, or to maintain the qualifications of Spain and the Ming Dynasty as allies.
Spain is the only empire in the world on which the sun never sets. The sun never sets on its territory. Such an achievement has never been achieved by the Ming emperor. In Legaz’s view, he hopes that in the diplomatic activities between Spain and the Ming Dynasty, While he is alive, he will not fall down.
It is indeed easy for the allies to be surprised that such a red-haired nun was sold so openly. The Ming Dynasty naturally regarded the red-haired nun as the same as the Yi Di. This was a scene that Legas did not want to see.
In the context of the Ming Dynasty, it is good for Yi Di to look like a human being, and all of them are monsters and monsters.
Legas did not ask the Ming Emperor because he knew that His Majesty would not grant permission, because after the Ming Emperor sent Taixi's credentials, he mentioned an issue, that is, there are nearly a thousand Han people in Mexico's Sun City. These people are naturally active and passive. Emperor Ming said that Ming will pay close attention to the survival and life of these people.
Therefore, Legaz came with the money and redeemed the person first, and we will talk about the rest later.
Zhu Yijun curiously looked at the nuns who were bought. Listening to the shouts of bidding, with a little playfulness in his eyes, he whispered to Feng Bao: "The Ming court has a high moral disadvantage as a group, but when it comes to individuals, This disadvantage has been reduced. You see, for the sake of money, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and the nuns of Taixi can also find ways to bring back some and sell them."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Feng Bao didn't care whether he understood or not. He just flattered him first. There was no problem.
High moral disadvantage is the collective will, while low moral advantage is the inevitable result of pursuing profit. The Ming Dynasty did have high moral disadvantage, but when it specifically affected individuals, it did not have so much binding force.
"Where did this come from?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously. Ming merchants can really do anything.
"There is a free city on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. There are no taboos in the free city. The merchants who supply the goods buy them in Luzon and come in the form of goods on a red-haired sailing ship." Feng Bao explained this clearly. The origin of the nuns. The power of the church in Texi is still very strong, but it is visibly weakening. The nuns have been arrested and sold.
"Five thousand seven hundred taels!" Kuo Shao, who represented the wealthy family who had migrated, started bidding. The young master of the Yao family in Wuxing, Yao Guangqi, came from Wuxing, Zhejiang. He started in the Western Han Dynasty, flourished in the late Western Han Dynasty, developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and reached its peak in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is the county Wang of Wuxing, Zhejiang. The county Wang means that the county where the Yao family is located is Yao County.
After Master Yao joined the battle, the value of the nuns themselves was no longer important, and it simply became a fight for wealth and luxury.
Wang Qian, a wealthy young man in the capital, frequently raises prices in order to prevent despicable outsiders from oppressing him. This involves the issue of the right to speak, and the wealthy immigrants also have to fight for this in order to express a feeling that although we They migrated here, but they were definitely not easy to mess with, and Legaz was for the important matter of Spain's status in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty.
All three parties had reasons for a chaotic war, and the bidding suddenly became extremely lively.
"Fifteen thousand four hundred taels!" Singer shouted loudly: "The bid on the 56th is 15,400 taels. Is there a higher price? 15,400 taels once."
"How much did this nun cost?" Zhu Yijun asked Feng Bao curiously. The transaction price was really a bit scary. Zhu Yijun knew the market very well. Before the capital's crackdown, ten taels of silver was enough to compete with the top of the capital. This is the first time for the oiran to meet. The transaction price of Gao Liji just now was already very exaggerated, and this time it is even more outrageous.
Feng Bao also whispered twice to Xiao Huangmen next to him, bowed his head and said: "Three taels of silver."
"15,400 taels for the second time." The singer raised the small copper hammer and prepared to knock it on the small bell, which represented a deal.
"15,500 taels!" Ligas finally gritted his teeth and offered a better price. Although the increase was only one hundred taels, Ligas was still willing to pay the expensive ransom for Spain's sake.
Soon, Legas got his wish, because the one who raised the price was neither the wealthy man from the capital nor the wealthy man who moved to the wealthy family, but Legas, a barbarian. This could calm both parties to some extent.
A farce caused by face slowly came to an end.
Zhu Yijun asked curiously: "How much did Wang Qian spend?"
"Not a penny was paid." Feng Bao said with emotion. This old boy was really happy to shout out the price. He made absolutely zero transactions. He made a big splash in front of everyone and really didn't pay a penny.
Wang Qian was very good at reading people's hearts. He deliberately raised the price in the auction and got out of the way in time at the position expected by the other party.
When the show was over, Yao Guangqi immediately understood that he had been severely fooled! And it was almost like humiliation, pressing him to the ground and rubbing him!
"Wang Qian! You are playing tricks on me!" Yao Guangqi pointed at Wang Qian angrily, threatening to fight if they disagreed. It was really irritating. They promised to fight for wealth and luxury, but were played by Wang Qian like this. It was simply unbearable.
Wang Qian raised his head and glanced. His Majesty was standing on the railing on the fifth floor, looking down curiously.
If His Majesty hadn't come to watch the excitement in person, Wang Qian would have let these wealthy immigrants know how powerful they are today. But His Majesty was in the building, so Wang Qian changed his approach and overpowered them.
"Am I kidding you? What you are saying is that you are not as rich as the young master and cannot buy what you want." Wang Qian said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "This time, Mr. Yao has won again. Congratulations to Mr. Yao, congratulations to Mr. Yao Young Master.”
"Congratulations to Mr. Yao, congratulations to Mr. Yao." The dudes who followed Wang Qian also took the opportunity to make noises. The words "Mr. Yao" sounded more and more like they were being taken advantage of.
The corners of Yao Guangqi's mouth kept twitching. He could only wave his hand and shout: "Let's go!"
Zhu Yijun watched the whole process of the conflict upstairs. At the beginning of the sixth year of Wanli, a decree was issued to move wealthy households into the capital. At the end of the sixth year of Wanli, the Zheshe households who had moved to enrich the capital came to the capital. The local snake, Wang Qian, this powerful dragon, presses down the heads of wealthy people and beats them.
"Do you still think that my husband will buy something good just to watch the fun?" Wang Yaozhuo asked curiously.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "This Yanxing Tower belongs to our family, can we let good things go? This is a painting, "Luo Shen Fu Tu". Gu Kaizhi's original has been lost. This volume is from the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty. Copied."
Of course, Zhu Yijun bought all the good things in advance. This is a typical black box operation.
"What about the original?" Wang Yaozhuo didn't understand the value of these calligraphy and paintings.
Zhu Yijun said with some emotion: "The Jingkang disaster must have been ruined. The Jin people went south, captured the second emperor and returned north, but took away all the good things in Bianliang."
With frequent wars, all the objects left behind by the waves have become rare and valuable.
Zhu Yijun did not ask for a price, but left with large and small boxes, which immediately attracted Yao Guangqi's attention. He was so angry that he was tricked and bought a bunch of things at a high price. Before leaving, he witnessed a black box operation. It would be strange if Yao Guangqi wasn't furious.
But soon, he calmed down. The person in front of him was absolutely untouchable.
Because within three feet of the person in front of him, there was an extremely empty space. The eyes of the Tiqi who were guarding him and looking around were intimidating. Yao Guangqi even had an illusion that once he stepped within three feet, Certain death.
"Don't move, don't move!" Yao Guangqi stopped the person behind him and said repeatedly: "Something's wrong, something's wrong."
"Young Master Yao! You are doing a shopping spree in Jingtang. Do you want to give the impression that you should see and buy first? This is a violation of the rules. Naturally, you have to come forward and argue!" A person shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Shut up!" Yao Guangqi scolded sternly. He kept stretching out his hands and waited for the other party to leave completely before he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Just now, when he was about to rush up and argue with the noble man, a Tiqi glanced at him and calmed him down. The look in his eyes was very cold, like looking at prey or a dead person.
"Save a life." Yao Guangqi patted his chest repeatedly and said with lingering fear, "I really encountered a ghost while walking."
Compared with Wang Qian's play, this conflict without any conflict made Yao Guangqi's legs spin.
"Come again?!" Yao Guangqi looked at the door and saw a strong man walking straight over. The closer he walked, the more uneasy Yao Guangqi became.
"My grandpa Huang asked me to bring you a message." Zhao Mengyou continued: "My grandpa Huang said that we don't like fighting for wealth and luxury. We don't need to have this kind of excitement in the future."
Zhao Mengyou left after saying that, ignoring Yao Guangqi's reaction. Zhao Mengyou came to inform, not to discuss with Yao Guangqi.
"Grandpa Huang's name is Huang Ye? Is he the Penglai Huang family?" A loser asked curiously. The Penglai Huang family was a maritime merchant. After the Ming Dynasty opened the sea again, their main business was to transport silver to the Japanese country.
"Zhang Juzhengmen is so arrogant!" Another follower said indignantly.
"Even if Qi Shuai faces his face, he will still give us Mr. Yao three respects. He, the Penglai Huang family, is nothing like a nouveau riche!"
"Shut up, shut up! You are not happy to see me suffer, do you want me to die?!" Yao Guangqi waved his hand, lowered his head and walked outside. Yao Guangqi had already heard that it was Grandpa Huang, not Grandpa Huang.
This trip is not about the emperor, Yao Guangqi swallowed all the things he bought today alive!
Zhu Yijun left with a smile. This scare, the public opinion about the struggle for wealth and luxury can subside for a while, but it won't take long for this trend to rise again.
After Zhu Yijun returned to the palace, he went directly to the Wenhua Palace. There were still some memorials that needed to be approved. After Zhang Juzheng returned to the court, the Wenyuan Pavilion once again played its original role. Most of the time, Zhu Yijun directly Just stamp the stamp on the floating ticket. Zhang Juzheng, the executive deputy emperor, can handle it properly.
Zhu Yijun read every memorial and sometimes made a few comments himself. There were also times when his opinions were completely contrary to Zhang Juzheng's. Often at this time, Zhang Juzheng would choose to compromise.
"Your Majesty, the chief medical officer of Jiecu Hospital is here." Feng Bao reminded His Majesty in a low voice that Chen Shigong and Li Shizhen were already waiting outside the palace.
Zhu Yijun was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"The Queen Mother asked me to come here." Feng Bao's voice became smaller and smaller. It was obvious that he had been married for several months, and Wang Yaozhuo's stomach was still silent. Queen Mother Li began to feel a little unable to sit still, and asked the medical officers to make a diagnosis. prepared.
As a child, Zhu Yijun has grown up and is now the emperor of the empire. Even if Empress Dowager Li has ten thousand complaints to say, she can still criticize her, instead of being called in front of her and scolded like she did when she was a child.
"Come on, come on." Zhu Yijun spread his hands, shook his head and said, "Xuan."
The chief medical officer came to the palace once a month to conduct regular examinations on the emperor.
"It's strange. In the past ten months, His Majesty's body temperature has been below thirty-seven degrees, while others have been above thirty-seven degrees. It's strange." Li Shizhen frowned and finished examining His Majesty. Pulse, looking confused.
Chen Shigong also said with a strange look on his face: "Besides, your Majesty is a martial artist, so his blood should be stronger."
Is it possible that a creature like the emperor is physiologically different from ordinary people? According to the past experience of Jiujiu, when entering the gate of Jiujiu Yuan, all living beings are equal. The eyes of Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong flashed with a dark luster. What a good material for Jiujiu. How about his body temperature? Just lower than others?
Zhu Yijun was a little frightened by Li Shizhen's eyes. This Li Shizhen seemed to be brewing a terrible plan. The more Zhu Yijun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. When he thought about Li Shizhen's words, it was not difficult to imagine that Li Shizhen's incredible plan was to treat the emperor as the emperor. The research materials were chopped up!
It is simply against Tiangang!
"It's not surprising. I live in a good environment and have people taking care of my daily life. Whether it's the Wenhua Palace or the Xiyuan, I can't even see a mosquito. That's probably it." Zhu Yijun tried to explain this phenomenon with his limited knowledge. .
"I have recently tinkered with some good things. The two great medical officers will take them with them when they leave." Zhu Yijun motioned to Zhang Hong and brought two sandalwood boxes. Inside were the toys he made. In the box was a computer. In order to facilitate the use of the microscope at night, Zhu Yijun also specially designed a condenser, which can focus the light of the candle on the specimen to facilitate observation at night.
Zhu Yijun simply introduced how to use this thing, and the two medical officers left holding the microscope with great interest. As for Queen Mother Li's explanation, it was naturally reported as usual. Your Majesty is in good spirits, in good health, and does not want children. It's just His Majesty's choice.
"Huh!" Zhu Yijun shook his head repeatedly as he watched the two great medical officers discussing with gusto. These two great medical scientists, who were famous in the world, were marching forward hard with Ming medicine.
There have never been a few criticisms of the Jiegeyuan. The Jiegeyuan was considered to be ironclad proof that Zhang Juzheng had overstepped the imperial power. Such a cruel policy had been implemented for six years, but Zhang Juzheng still had no reason to ban it.
Until now, the court officials of the Ming Dynasty, and even the court officials, all believe that it was Zhang Juzheng who moved to Mu Lixin. In the opinion of almost everyone, the existence of Jiegeyuan is the line drawn by Zhang Juzheng, the court dog of the Ming Dynasty. Fight, you can't cross that line.
Wang Jinglong, Chen Hong and others were the first batch of people to be cut into pieces in the Jiecu Court. The line drawn by Zhang Juzheng was that dog fighting could not threaten the emperor's personal safety. Few people could guess that this Jiecuo The hospital was commissioned by the Ming Emperor.
Zhang Juzheng wrote in a memorial to impeach the Jiegeyuan that his majesty was now in his prime, and the Jiegeyuan had accomplished its intimidating effect and should be banned.
Zhu Yijun insisted that the Jiegeyuan still had to go on. The original purpose of the Jiegeyuan was indeed to intimidate, but now the long-term goal of the Jiegyuan is: to spread the virtues of Qi Shengzhao in all directions; The earth is bathed in the great medical ointment together; the people are blessed with longevity and health, and the harmonious atmosphere is summoned from the sky.
This was the imperial edict that Zhu Yijun gave to the chief medical officer of Jieyuan, and it was also the basis for the continued existence of Jieyuan. The Jieyuan of the Ming Dynasty had already achieved enough results, and the medicine of the Ming Dynasty was making rapid progress.
In this matter, Zhang Juzheng once again chose to compromise and agreed with His Majesty's decision.
On New Year's Eve, Zhu Yijun still met the officials in Xiyuan. The Ming Dynasty's New Year's greetings were in the evening of New Year's Eve. He stayed up until midnight. After getting up on New Year's Day, he went to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors.
Zhu Yijun first met with the emperor's uncle Zhu Zaiyu, who was the head of the clan, and then met with Qi Jiguang, who was ranked above the nobles. Although Qi Jiguang was only the Marquis of Qian'an, he led the elite of the Beijing camp and was ranked among the nobles. Above, and then met with Zhang Juzheng, who was the head of the hundred officials. There is no doubt that his Yicheng Bo was just a lord of rank, not a nobleman of the world.
Then came the lengthy audience. Zhu Yijun was about to wave his hand and let all officials of the fifth rank and below enter the palace to greet the New Year. Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, and Wan Shihe, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, became anxious upon hearing this, and ran to the emperor to make a fuss. Zhu Yijun was tired of hearing about the ancestral laws that should not be violated, about the official order of high and low officials, and the order of seniority and inferiority, so he had to let the Ministry of Rites do it.
Ma Ziqiang and Wan Shihe did not deliberately create cumbersome etiquette to make His Majesty impatient. Meeting the Emperor during the New Year may be the only chance for all officials in the capital to meet His Majesty in their lifetime. If the Emperor is lazy, like Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Longqing could not go to the palace examination, there would be no court meeting, and all the officials in the world would not even have a chance to see the emperor.
The lengthy etiquette was finally over, and Zhu Yijun began to keep a vigil. He said it was a vigil on New Year's Eve, but it was actually a study of agricultural books. The trial planting of rubber in Luzon has been successful on a small scale. Now the types of plantations in Luzon have ranged from simple rice to now sugar cane. , palm, and rubber, the emergence of these plantations gave Ming Dynasty a closer connection with Wanli Seawall.
Daming needs food, and these places can provide enough agricultural products. Daming only needs to take advantage of commodities to continuously absorb these resources into Daming.
Zhu Yijun was very interested in the planting of rubber trees. He planted one in Beiya. For this tree, Zhu Yijun even built a warm pavilion and served it delicious food and drinks, but it still died.
"Thousands of miles of seawall, what a wonderful place." Zhu Yijun closed the agricultural book and reaffirmed the absolute correctness of his policy of opening up the sea. Affected by the Little Ice Age, the Ming Dynasty's expansion to the north and west was full of difficulties, and new The military strategic significance of opening up the land is far greater than the people's livelihood management significance.
In the newly opened land, the land was fertile, the rainfall was abundant, and the local natives were powerless to resist. Zhu Yijun appointed Deng Zilong of Luzon as the commander of Pandu, and used force to collect the payment. The results were extremely significant and he won the victory. After returning, Daming will be able to hold on and operate well.
This is not because Deng Zilong is selling melons and boasting about himself. Deng Zilong is telling the truth. Compared with the barbaric plunder of Taixi, Ming Dynasty's persistence in farming far exceeds that of Taixi.
Zhu Yijun was very concerned about the maritime affairs in the Southeast and inquired about everything personally.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Wanli, Emperor Ming came to the Ancestral Temple again. The small yellow gate carried several things and sent them into the Ancestral Temple.
"We didn't do anything this year. We just moved the Zheshe households in Nanya to enrich the capital. There are five to six of them in the local area, and they look like the boss of the sky and the second boss of the earth. After they moved to Beijing, they all behaved like Quail, be a man with your tail between your legs." Zhu Yijun took out the first congratulatory form for the sacrifice, which was an annual work summary.
Zhu Yijun took out the second congratulatory form, threw it into the brazier, and murmured to himself: "The other thing is to test the theory of contradictions and arithmetic. It is indeed difficult to implement, but I still gritted my teeth and did it. No. If you are willing to be a prisoner or an official, you cannot pass the practical stage. Although people who have passed the theory of contradiction and arithmetic may be bad people, they are still following the rules and can do things."
"In order to keep his official title and change his talent, Xunli will try his best to make progress."
Zhu Yijun took out the third congratulatory form, threw it into the brazier, and said with emotion: "This year's important matter of clearing the father-in-law and returning the land has entered deep water, and the next part is hard. Fortunately, Mr. In the court, help me with my work, but I want to see who dares to come out and cause mischief. This will clear the father-in-law and return the land, and the great cause of the country will be promoted, and they will not be allowed to care about the private interests of the family."
Zhu Yijun took out the fourth congratulatory form and said with a smile: "Qi Shuai is still very powerful. Tuman and Ada Khan joined forces and were beaten by Qi Shuai and Vice General Ma. Although I don't know the soldiers, I If you can understand the battle report, the Ming Dynasty’s battle front has finally completely isolated the Beilu and Dongyi.”
"The merger of Dongyi and Northern barbarians in Liaodong was the root cause of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty."
The Jingkang shame in the Northern Song Dynasty was also a typical merging of the Eastern Yi and the Northern Barbarians, but at that time the Jin and the Khitan people merged. This complete blockage completely shattered this possibility.
This is the best thing for Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun took out the fifth congratulatory form, threw it into the brazier, and just sighed without saying much.
In the fifth congratulatory form, it was written that Zhu Yijun's wedding had taken place, but the queen and concubines' stomachs had not moved yet. Just such a small thing, they had to inform their ancestors!
Regarding why he chose this matter, Zhu Yijun had asked the medical officers to inform Queen Mother Li, but Queen Mother Li still wanted to have her grandson, and her attitude was very determined.
Zhu Yijun finished his work report and left the Ancestral Temple.
Zhu Yili looked at the emperor eagerly and said, "Brother, do you still want to go to Peking University Camp today? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, why don't you take a day off?"
"You don't want to go?" Zhu Yijun frowned and his tone became a bit colder.
Zhu Yirui hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Go, go, go! Don't you think that I am extremely tired from having to deal with so many things, so I said this, let's go together."
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't go, let's go by ourselves."
"Is there really no need to go?" Zhu Yirui's expression changed from surprise to surprise, then to doubts, and finally he asked the emperor's brother full of doubts about what he meant.
"As I have said sincerely, I will take a rest during the Chinese New Year and there is no need to accompany you." Zhu Yijun said and got into the car.
"Thank you, brother emperor!" Zhu Yili jumped three feet high, excused himself with a word of thanks, and left happily.
Zhu Yijun could only shake his head slightly when he saw Zhu Yijun jumping three times. After talking to Zhang Juzheng about Zhu Yijun's education, Zhu Yijun also looked away. As Zhang Juzheng said, Zhu Yijun, this towering tree, was protecting Zhu Yijun from the wind. Yu, Zhu Yili couldn't feel the coldness, nor the sense of urgency.
Jade is not cut, not a device.
As Zhu Yijun's car drove slowly towards Beidaying, a fire broke out violently in the Yongding Woolen Factory.
When Zhu Yijun returned to the capital from Beida Camp, Wang Chonggu was already waiting in front of the gate of Xiyuan, waiting for His Majesty's announcement.
"It's not enough to wash the face of a disgraced man. How is the situation? Are there any dead? How many have died? How are the losses?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu's slightly embarrassed look and motioned to Zhang Hong to give Wang Chonggu a towel to wipe his face.
Of course Wang Chonggu didn't know how to wash his face. His face was gray and unkempt, so His Majesty could directly see his hard work.
"The situation is not bad. Two warehouses were burned down, no one was killed, and 600 pieces of woolen wool were lost." Wang Chonggu reported the key information to His Majesty quickly.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said in a very calm tone: "No one died?"
"No." Wang Chonggu was determined. When the fire broke out, Wang Chonggu was in the official factory and happened to meet him. The fire was quickly put out.
Death cannot be concealed, because due to abnormal death, his social relations will not be completely broken due to death. As long as the Tiqi people inquire a little carefully, they will know that the answer is completely different from concealing and underreporting.
If someone really died, Wang Chonggu would definitely say that the fire scene was still being cleaned up.
Wang Chonggu could not bear the price of deceiving the emperor.
"Deliberately setting fire?" Zhu Yijun hesitated and asked.
Wang Chonggu said with certainty: "This is done deliberately, Your Majesty. I led the construction of the tripod. I watched the entire palace being built with my own eyes. Even if you can set fire to it, you can only burn a little, and you can't even burn the second room." past!"
"These two warehouses are on fire. I think someone must have set the fire deliberately."
Fire prevention master Wang Chonggu, as the top fire prevention designer of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Chonggu has stood at the pinnacle of mankind in terms of fire prevention. There is no way, who made the central axis of the palace, it was his nephew Zhang Siwei who gave the fire What about the burned ones?
For the sake of his nine tribes, Wang Chonggu must be the master of fire prevention, and he must do it well. If someone sets a fire at the palace gate, his majesty's palace will not be burned down.
"Yao Guangqi?" Zhu Yijun frowned and read out a name.
"Who is Yao Guangqi?" Wang Chonggu looked confused. He really didn't know who this Yao Guangqi was.
Zhu Yijun briefly introduced the grudges between Wang Qian and Yao Guangqi. Wang Qian's cunning and Yao Guangqi's anger caused people to associate these two things together.
"This traitor is showing off everywhere, and his money will be stopped tomorrow!" Wang Chonggu was furious after hearing this!
My body temperature is now 38.6°, and it was 39.8° when I woke up in the morning. In that trance, I could already see Tai Nai waving to me. Everyone must pay attention to protection. Please vote for me. Ouch! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
