I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Hearing this, the Dutch commander Hernan couldn't help laughing.

"Indeed, Carlos is a true nobleman."

Tokugawa Kazuko was helpless, but he had no choice but to do so.

"as you wish."

As soon as Tokugawa Kazuko left, news of the Great Ming capital came in one after another. Hernan, the commander of the Netherlands, looked surprised, and repeatedly called God to bless him.

The Spanish commander Carlos looked calm, as if everything was normal, only the British commander John, the more he listened, the more strange his face became.

"Commander, the Britons are dishonest and ask for too much. Your Majesty is furious and cannot give them a city or land. Yuan Futai said to ask the commander to prepare to forcefully expel the British fleet from the Far East Sea."

Before Zhang Pan heard this, he still had a smile on his face, but after hearing this, he lost any expression, "I see, you can go down."

Afterwards, he called a lieutenant general and gave some instructions in his ear.

"Hmph!" British Commander John jumped up, "Marshal Zhang, I want to ask, what is the matter that the emperor of your country does not allow us to carve up Japan?"

It was a harmonious place just now, but now it is full of gunpowder.

Sitting on the chair, Zhang Pan said lightly, "Your Majesty's will is already very clear. Britain is not sincere. Let's go."

"Go?" John pulled out his musket, "Why go, the British Empire participated in this war and suffered casualties, so we should get the rewards we deserve!"

Netherlandish commander Hernan and Spanish commander Carlos saw that the situation was not good, and moved closer to Zhangpan.

Great Britain has risen in recent years, but they are still very clear about who has more say in the Far East, or Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Pan has never experienced any kind of battle. He was pointed at by a gun, and he didn't show the slightest emotion. He just glanced at him and said:

"Ninety-nine percent of the camp is my Ming people. Your Excellency John, I would like to advise you, don't act wild here, so as not to bring disaster to your Great Britain's Far East Fleet."

"You have to know that it's just a matter of a little effort for Ming Dynasty to destroy your Far East Fleet!"

John was also impulsive and was hesitating, but he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the tent, but it was the Ming army who had already moved first under the command of the general and unarmed the British army.

Even their warships gathered around the British Far East Fleet. He had no doubt that as long as there was a shot from here, the British fleet would be wiped out instantly.

"let's go!"

John retracted his gun, blushed and left with a thick neck.

Zhang Pan said coldly: "The order is to let them go, but they are not allowed to step into the Bohai Sea! Your Excellency Carlos, Your Excellency Hernan, let's continue to discuss the division of the Japanese slave kingdom and the alliance."

The latter two looked at each other and nodded quickly.

The next day, a white flag was hoisted over Edo Castle.

The coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty, the West, and the Netherlands immediately announced that they had reached a settlement with the Tokugawa shogunate. The Edo shogunate surrendered unconditionally and gave up resistance, allowing the coalition forces to enter Edo Castle.

Subsequently, the three powerful coalition forces divided into three groups and attacked Hokkaido, Kunashir Island, and Eturup Island respectively, winning in all directions.

Probably in the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, news came that the four islands of the Wonu country had been conquered. Zhang Pan stated in the memorandum that all the capitals, roads, prefectures, and counties of the four islands had planted the national flag of the three-power alliance.

The centuries-old enemies of Daming and Wonu Kingdom finally came to an end in the dawn of the apocalypse. Daming had the last laugh, and the whole country was submerged in the carnival of victory.

In such a situation, good news comes one after another.

Yang Sichang of the Disaster Department said that the reconstruction after various natural disasters has become very smooth, and the governor of Shaanxi said that no matter how much the White Lotus Sect is promoted, there is little effect.

The Ming Dynasty went smoothly in the war against the Wa Nu Kingdom. Under the attack of the Denglai Navy led by Yuan Keli and Zhang Pan, the Japanese navy was beaten to pieces, and they had no power to resist at all.

But then, something more exciting happened.

Originally, Daming wanted to carve up the four islands of the Enu Kingdom with Spain, Britain, and the Netherlands. Among them, Daming naturally took the lead.

In Zhu Youxiao's words, it is to eat the best land and occupy the most scarce supplies.

The matter of carve up the Japanese slave country should have gone smoothly, but there was a small episode, which made the soldiers and civilians of Ming Dynasty not very cold towards the British.

Specifically, the Britons treated the people of Ming Dynasty as fools, they did nothing but wanted the best land, and at the very beginning they even asked for the whole island of Hokkaido.

Although Wen Tiren didn't really see the advantages of Houdao and Eturu Island, the countries that Britain claimed, he also knew that the entire area of ​​Hokkaido was given to the British, and the area was really too large.

As for Zhu Youxiao, it's not just about the size of the island.

Kunashir Island has a natural ice-free port and the best military port in Japan, and Etoru Island has the most developed fishery in Japan.

Asking for these two places just shows that the Britons are impure in their minds.

The emperor's intentions suddenly reversed. He had treated Britain well, but now he refused to give him even a small island.

On the contrary, the island of Eruru Island in the north of Kunashir Island, the small island with the most developed fishery industry in the entire Wanu Kingdom, was allocated to the North Korea, which had no achievements.

In this regard, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were all talking about it.

No one could understand Zhu Youxiao's meaning, maybe even Zhang Yan could only understand half of it, but the courtiers could also know from the emperor's few words that the Britons had malicious intentions this time.

As a result, the attitude of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty towards the British envoys is now cold.

The British envoy came here in vain, and he was shut down everywhere. He was monitored by Dongchang's fans wherever he went, and he had to leave in despair in the end.

Not long after the British envoys left, the British fleet on the Japanese island was also forced to retreat by the three-nation fleet.

At the end of the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao formally signed an alliance with representatives of Spain and the Netherlands in the capital, forming the Triple Alliance.

Since then, a new pattern has been formed in the world. The Ming Empire, the Spanish Empire, and the United Provinces of the Netherlands joined forces, also known as the alliance of the three giants and the alliance of the three giants.

Chapter 834 The Emperor's Shopping Method

Zhu Youxiao had promised Zhang Yan a long time ago that he would take her out of the palace for a stroll. This promise has always been kept in his heart, but he has been in no mood for a long time.

Xu Shi recently won a complete victory in the war against the Japanese Nu Kingdom, and Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood, but he didn't want to go hunting in Nanhaizi, so he remembered it.

So, he ordered Wang Tiqian to call a few eunuchs who were good at fighting horses, and lead Zhang Yan to "escape" out of the palace.

Since entering the palace in the first year of Tianqi, Zhang Yan has not stepped out of the palace gate for more than seven years. Hearing this news, he is more than happy.

Joyfully disguised and dressed up, Zhang Yan rushed over with the female officer Xu.

Since Wanli succeeded to the throne in 47 years, the city of Beijing has been renovated twice under the rule of Zhu Youxiao, which consumed a lot of resources but achieved remarkable results.

The first time was from the first year of Tianqi to the second year of Tianqi, and it was expanded by Wai Guo on the original basis.

The second time was to renovate a large number of private houses. The Shuntian government office bought many abandoned houses from wealthy households and allocated them to government agencies such as the Nursing Home and the Disaster Department for disaster relief or hoarding goods.

Now the city of Beijing has taken on a completely new look.

For a long time, there is a street cleaner who has done nothing and has nothing to do. Now that it has been reorganized, it has begun to exert its effect. Compared with the environment in most places today, the streets of Beijing can be said to be quite clean.

In addition, in recent years, Ming Dynasty has begun to establish diplomatic relations with various countries, which has also attracted many businessmen, adventurers and tourists from the West.

People of all colors walk on the streets. Apart from the Han Chinese who occupy the majority, there are also a considerable number of Mongolians, Spaniards, Dutch and British.

These western countries have had close contacts with Ming Dynasty recently, and embassies at the official level have also begun to appear.

The so-called "trading and relocation of shops and shops are all goods from four distant places, and people from all directions are all people who run around and make money", which describes the prosperity of the Ming capital today.

Zhu Youxiao wore yellow casual clothes and a black velvet cloak bought from a Dutch businessman. He walked on the street with a heroic figure and a radiant look.

Wang Tiqian and the eunuchs behind him dressed up as housekeepers and servants. As for Zhang Yan, she was naturally a rich lady in a light red silk robe.

Zhu Youxiao didn't wear a dragon robe or a crown, but no one would just regard him as an ordinary kid from a rich family.

In addition to his refined temperament, there is also a coral hairpin inlaid with oriental beads that Zhang Yan can only wear if he is rich or expensive.

This pair of hairpins is a rare item even in the court. It is inlaid with three big east beads, more than [-] pieces of millet beads and coral, and is decorated with gold-plated silver threads.

This hairpin is placed among the people, no matter how luxurious it is, it still has its price in the market, but because it is a royal gift made by Zhu Youxiao for Zhang Yan, it has become a priceless treasure.

A group of people came to a powder shop, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled a unique smell.

This store has a very large storefront, similar to an ordinary inn. After entering, there is a lot of people, most of them are women in pairs, and of course there are husbands and wives who come to buy.

Such a peaceful scene made Zhu Youxiao proud.

The common people can live and work in peace and contentment, which shows that their efforts over the years have not been in vain. Of course, there is still a long way to go, so we must not slack off.

As early as the Hongwu period, this place was a shop in Beijing. The so-called shop is a business with a fixed business address.

The shop system was quite mature in the Ming Dynasty, so a sub-system similar to the business license of later generations was derived.

The imperial court classified the shop households as Paijia, and based on the registered status of their business, if there were large-scale ceremonies and other activities, the local government would first choose to register the shop households, and assign the shop households to serve through the household registration, which is called the shop line.

If a foreigner wants to open a shop in a certain place, he needs to register with the local government, that is, he has obtained a permit and is allowed to start business operations.

And this Dai's incense shop has a background.

Dai's Fragrance Shop is a well-known "famous brand" in Jifu, and it is also the earliest batch of shop owners in Beijing. It still enjoys the preferential treatment of the shirt merchant policy.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao and his group stepped into the incense shop, two scholars in green shirts walked towards them, one of them was holding a newly bought sachet in his hand, talking while walking.

"It is said that Dai's Fragrance Shop was opened in the Hongwu Dynasty. It has been around for a long time, and the goods are the most extensive. Its fragrance is unique. Now that I have come here, I have really learned a lot."

In addition, when the scholar passed by Zhu Youxiao and his party, he also smiled and said: "Exactly, Miss Su must be his incense shop. I was surprised at first, but now I don't care."

"Let's go."

"Brother first please."

"Hahaha, then it's better to be respectful than obey your orders as a brother!"

The two scholars saluted three points each in front of the door, and then went side by side. Zhu Youxiao walked into the incense shop, and with a glance, he saw many people queuing up.

Naturally, Wang Tiqian would not let the emperor line up behind Xiaomin, and ordered a young eunuch to jump in line. Zhu Youxiao stopped the little eunuch and said:

"Since we are traveling in the palace, we are all citizens of Daming. We are no more than these people."

Xiao Xie hurriedly retreated, Wang Ti laughed dryly and said, "Your master understands the truth, it's a little abrupt."

There seemed to be a lot of people, and they walked back and forth quickly. In about three to five minutes, Zhu Youxiao came to the stage of the incense shop, turned around and asked:

"Pearl, what do you want?"

From the moment Zhang Yan entered the door, she was attracted by this unique smell, and her eyes lingered on the counter, as if she couldn't see enough.

"It's so hard to choose..."

"Your Majesty, master, help me take a look?"

Seeing that she was also a patient with difficulty in choosing, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing. He looked down and frowned. It turned out that there were so many kinds of rouge in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao didn't do any research on these, but at a glance, the flowers are becoming more and more charming. There are no less than dozens of kinds of pomegranate, Dahongchun, Wanjinhong, Shengtanxin, and dewdrops.

If it is a choice, when will it be chosen?

Seeing Zhang Yan's expectant eyes, Zhu Youxiao coughed, and began to point casually, "Gorilla dizzy, Xiao Zhulong, Ge Shuangtang...what are these, why are they so ugly?"

"Also...Xiao Hongchun, Nen Wuxiang, Ban Bianjiao, I don't want any of these, the rest will be taken away by the master, I will buy them all."

In Zhu Youxiao's view, since he couldn't pick out which one was good and which one was bad, it was a brand-name rouge shop anyway, so he simply eliminated some ugly ones and bought the rest.

Although it costs a lot of money, it saves trouble.

Alas, women are troublesome. Think about it, an emperor who is usually very frugal, took Zhang Yan out of the palace for the first time, and spent such a large sum of money.

But it's okay, the most important thing I need now is money.

As soon as these words came out, all the people around were startled, good guy, where did this son of a rich family come from, who made such a big move, covering all the rouge from Dai's Incense Shop?

As for the guys at Dai's Fragrance Shop, they were all at a loss. They have been in this business for so many years, and they haven't seen any old man who came up to book the place.

"Upload, load up!"

The shopkeeper, Dai Chunlin, ran out quickly with a smile on his face. He had met a big customer, and he had to take care of them. He sold them all at once.

While ordering the guys to stock up again, he smiled and led Zhu Youxiao to the inner shop.

"Where did you come from, young master? The accent sounds like a man from the capital?"

Zhu Youxiao followed him into the inner berth, nodded, and said casually: "You are from the capital, you put all your good things in the inner berth?"

Dai Chunlin said: "My lord, do you want to take a look? The name of Dai's Incense Shop is here, and these are not seen in the market."

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to spend any more, turned his head to look at Zhang Yan's expectant eyes, nodded helplessly, and turned around.

"These seem to be good."

"Let's wrap them up too, and distribute them to the people in the mansion when we go back."

Dai Chunlin rubbed his hands together, "Young Master's big handwriting, which one is it from? We will record it on the account, and when you come back later, you can negotiate the price."

Membership card system?

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, "Have you heard of Zhang Shize from the British government?"
