The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

In fact, this is exactly Yan Song's routine.

"Then I don't have any money with me." Shakespeare wondered, "How should I pay back the money?"

"Borrow the debt!" Yan Song didn't blush, and smiled like an old fox: "You can work in Daming to pay back the money!"

"Repay the money from part-time work? How to work part-time?" Shakespeare looked confused.

Like a big bad wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood, Yan Song earnestly and kindly said: "Being a code farmer! Well, there is no such thing as a code farmer these days. In short, you stay in Daming, use your literary expertise, and write dramas by writing. It’s okay to make money, right? I happen to know a few theater artists and actors, and I can introduce them to you and work together.”

As soon as Yan Song saw Shakespeare, he thought of [Macbeth], [King Lear], and [Hamlet]. These immortal world classics have been performed for hundreds of years and are still being performed.

He immediately thought of Kunqu opera art!

He thought of Tang Xianzu, and the famous Dan Chen Yuanyuan!

What would it be like if Shakespeare, the world-class drama master, cooperated with Tang Xianzu, the ancestor of Chinese drama, to combine Chinese and Western cultures to write a drama starring Chen Yuanyuan, who is famous in Jinghua?

How high should one achieve in art?

How will the art of Ming Dynasty be pushed to its peak?

Let future generations in the West cry!

Historians of later generations, including Western historians, naturally stamped their chests, while the Ming people praised Shakespeare well. Without Ming, there would be no achievements of Shakespeare.

Shakespeare nodded again and again: "I'm good at this, and I'm about to have a taste of Daming's drama art and cooperate with Daming's dramatists. But I don't know when I can pay off the debt?"

Yan Song sighed: "Actually, it didn't take long. Your salary in the future will be 1000 taels a month."

"1000 taels? One hundred gold louis? That much?" Shakespeare was stunned.He is considered a high income in the King's Theater, but his annual income is only 100 gold louis.

(bfba) After being sold to Daming, the income increased by 12 times!

"Based on this calculation, 5 taels of silver will be paid off after only 5 years of work!" Yan Song pretended to be relaxed and chuckled in his heart.

He deliberately did not counter the price, just to make Shakespeare owe more debts!

Shakespeare blinked and began to frown again.

"I am happy to work in Ming Dynasty, but Britain needs me. Britain is facing Spanish invasion, imminent!" Shakespeare hurriedly said: "I need to return to China to play."

Yan Song spread his hands: "Even if I am willing to let you go, you have heard that the Spaniards and the Holy See will not let you go as a messenger. As long as you appear on any ship bound for Europe, the Holy See and the Spanish will have a way to find you. You. Send you to the stake."

Shakespeare couldn't help shivering too.

Yan Song didn't feel guilty about abducting the world's great writers, and said earnestly and kindly: "It's actually very simple. You don't have to do it yourself. You just need to choose a reliable person and send the news to Elizabeth. That's right. , what do you want from me?"

Shakespeare became excited again and wanted to ask, but seeing his stinky clothes, he had no choice but to say, "This is too rude, I'd better go take a bath and change clothes first, and then ask Elder Yan Ge for advice."

Yan Song waved his hand: "You guys go."

……

……

At this time, at about the same time as Shakespeare and the others, they went to Daming's Sinbad fleet, Hashiba Hideyoshi and other Japanese fleets, watching with red eyes that the Spaniards got so many silver tickets from Yan Song, rushed into Tianjin New City, and frantically bought and bought. , happily transported the bolts of silk to their ships, and I was really envious and jealous in my heart.

Unexpectedly, selling someone can exchange so much money from Daming?

Sinbad, Hashiba Hideyoshi and other envoys were thoughtful.

Since the Holy See can sell people and benefit greatly from Ming Dynasty, then we can also follow suit.

Yan Song sent Shakespeare away, and was about to continue discussing the shipyard with Shen Wansan and others, but was surrounded by these envoys.

"Prime Minister Yan Song, this is the letter of credence of Emperor Akbar of our country." Sinbad said with a smile on his face: "I, the Mughal Empire, hope to have good relations with the Ming Dynasty, to open up trade, and to communicate with each other. What do you think? "

Yan Song absently took the letter of credence, glanced at it casually, handed it to Lu Quan, and said lightly: "This matter is up to the emperor to decide. However, I think it should not be a problem to allow you to come to Tianjin for trade with my emperor's kindness. .”

Listening to Yan Song's casual perfunctory, Sinbad's teeth itch with hatred.

"Our Mughal Empire is a great empire! How dare the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty be so negligent?" Sinbad complained in his heart.

But after witnessing the majestic weather in Tianjin, the deterrence was too great, and he didn't dare to make mistakes, so he could only apologize with a smile: "I don't know, what can I do at this time?"

"Wait!" Yan Song said lightly: "Now the envoys from various countries have arrived one after another, and they all live in the post house in Tianjin New City. You take the envoys of the Mughal Empire, and go too. I have collected all the countries and asked for tribute to open. Hai’s letters of credence will be sent to Beijing in batches, and presented to His Majesty for the Imperial Judgment.”

Sinbad felt cold in his heart.

He thought that with the national power of the Mughal Empire, he would make Daming go backwards, but he didn't care who you were!

Yan Song's attitude is like this, whether you like to come or not, I will not beg you if you don't come!

Sinbad really wanted to walk away.

But looking at the joy of the Spaniards and the Holy See, carrying the three treasures of Ming Dynasty in large and small bags: silk, porcelain and tea, they were transported to the ships, and there were conflicts from time to time because of competition for storage space for private goods, punching and kicking. The clerics didn't even have the awareness, and Sinbad felt helpless for a while.

Who let Daming have the highest quality luxury goods in the world at this time?

You know, tea, porcelain and silk are all must-haves for the upper-class nobles from all over the world at this time!

In the Mughal Empire, the silk of the Ming Dynasty was a must-have item for upper-class noble families. If the wife of the family did not have two "Pura" (traditional Indian women's clothing, a long skirt) made of silk, the wife would be ashamed go out.

Emperor Akbar liked to use silk to decorate the emperor's style, and he changed two silk clothes every day.
