The Ming Dynasty started with caution

A month later, Wang Shouren returned to the capital with the envoy.

He entered the palace to pay the imperial edict to Emperor Hongzhi. On this mission, he negotiated a good price. Siam was willing to use 500,000 shi of rice every year in exchange for 400,000 jin of iron tools from the Ming Dynasty.

In order to strengthen the close cooperative relationship between the two parties, the royal family of Ayutthaya also sent people to send 10,000 shi of rice to the Ming Emperor.

Wang Shouren was named Hanlin Editor by Emperor Hongzhi, and finally had a title.

Yan Chengjin found that this guy didn't seem to have changed much: "Bo'an, congratulations on your promotion."

"Thanks to Brother Gao for giving me the opportunity."

Wang Shouren looked thoughtful and said with some shame: "This time I went to Siam and sat in meditation for a day in a temple."

There are many temples in Siam. Before they were destroyed and new ones established, Wang Shouren asked almost everyone he met how to become a saint. He especially liked to communicate with Taoist monks.

Yan Chengjin was not surprised.

Wang Shouren said humbly: "Brother Gao has extraordinary talents. I have a question to ask. Can the study of objects lead to knowledge?"

"Did you communicate with the monk and gain new insights?"

"They spoke Siamese and I couldn't understand the next sentence."

"…………"

After studying at the Ministry of Industry for a period of time, Yan Chengjin was now promoted from a circle to being able to draw the structure of a house. Wang Shouren often stared at the houses he drew for a long time.

In the Fengtian Palace,

Today, Emperor Hongzhi is wearing a Longgun suit and a Yishan crown. He is sitting on the throne, domineering and majestic and inviolable.

He usually has a kind face and kind eyes, but today he has to pretend to be very cruel, because the Tatar envoy is coming to see the saint.

The Ming Dynasty exported a large amount of iron tools to Korea, Siam, Tibet and other places, but not to the Tatars. The Tatars were immediately anxious.

In desperation, Dayan Khan decided to send envoys to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty and exchange horses, cattle and sheep with the Ming Dynasty for iron tools.

All the officials were listed in the hall, standing solemnly.

Xiao Jing shouted: "Xuan Tatar envoy Urus Borot!"

A Tatar with long braids and white animal skin entered the hall with powerful steps and saluted in the Tatar way: "Dear Emperor Ming, I am the sixteenth generation grandson of Genghis Khan. Dayan Khan’s son, Urus Bolot! We are willing to exchange horses, cattle and sheep for iron tools with the Ming Dynasty. I wonder what the Ming Emperor’s intention is?”

Emperor Hongzhi listened quietly. Naturally, there was no need for him to speak in this kind of scene, and all the officials would bombard him. Being able to see Urus Borod already gave the Tatars enough face.

Xie Qian fired the first shot of the Ming Dynasty: "The Tatars invaded our border with the Ming Dynasty and kidnapped our guard. The two countries are facing each other with weapons facing each other. Life and death are in danger. You came uninvited and openly entered our territory of the Ming Dynasty. You have already It is an infringement on the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to respect it!”

Urus Borot smiled carelessly: "There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that it is a joy to have friends come from far away. I, Ulus Borot, heard that the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so I came here uninvited."

Xie Qian also smiled: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is as sweet as wine. You Tatars just want to borrow the iron tools of the Ming Dynasty, smelt them into soldiers, and then invade my Ming Dynasty. Your ambition is obvious. The Ming Dynasty has never been willing to invade. Make friends with people from Ming Dynasty.”

Ulus Boluot laughed loudly: "I heard that there was a minister in the Ming Dynasty named Xie Qian. He was eloquent and eloquent. Is it you?"

Xie Qian laughed even more wildly and shouted: "That's right, my surname is Xie, and my single name is Qian!"

Urus Borot looked up to the sky and laughed: "There is no eternal enemy in the world. The Ming Dynasty's war horses are not as good as my Tatars. If we exchange war horses with our dynasty, Ming Dynasty can also benefit, why not do it?"

Xie Qian Fuxu laughed: "Today, the Tatars gave me war horses, and I gave them weapons. Then I rode your horses, and you, the Tatars, took my weapons, and the soldiers faced each other on the battlefield?"

Urusbolot stopped laughing.

The Yanguan on the side was impatient, Mr. Xie, please let me say a few words!

Wouldn't this second Tatar prince be so reviled that he could not speak? How could he have the nerve to become an envoy if his fighting ability is so weak? The officials are really anxious for him!

Ulus Borot looked at Emperor Hongzhi: "Our ancestor Genghis Khan is the owner of this territory. You have stolen our land, and we are just getting our own land back."

Xie Qian was not in a hurry, and said quietly: "Thousands of years ago, I, the Han people, grew up in this land. The thief shouted to catch the thief. It is worthy of you bandits."

Ulus Borot wanted to kill this man: "The Ming Army God is old and has no one to rely on. You Ming Dynasty will be my Tatar's bag sooner or later."

Wang Yue couldn't bear it anymore and stood up angrily: "Who are you talking about getting old? I remember you. Don't run away if you have the seed!"

Ming Dynasty Military God!

Urusbolot was so shocked that he subconsciously touched the knife at his waist, but when he entered the palace, the knife had already been taken away.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and motioned Wang Yue to return to his position, stood up, and put his hands behind his back: "Go back and tell Batu Mengke that it is impossible to get the Ming Dynasty iron weapons. If you want to start a war, ask him to try." After saying this, he put his hands behind his back. Gone.

All the officials knelt on the ground and shouted to see off His Majesty.

The officials were reluctant to leave, and they left the court without saying anything.

They all couldn't help but secretly curse Urus Borot as a fool. Before you came, you didn't ask what Mr. Xie did, and you didn't even write a draft when you quarreled with him. Didn't you go to the hut with a lantern to look for shit?

Urus Borot walked out of the hall angrily. He did not dare to cause trouble on the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Although the two armies were fighting and would not kill the envoys, it would be a different matter if they took the initiative to provoke.

In the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, in a duty room.

Yan Chengjin was practicing writing an impeachment memorial. The target of impeachment was Wang Shouren. After writing it, he gave it to his teacher Xu Shu for review and comments.

Of course, it is not a real impeachment, but Wang Shouren is regarded as an imaginary enemy. You impeach me, and I impeach you. It is fair.

Wang Shouren didn't care at all.

He was used to getting along with Yan Chengjin.

Zeng Jian, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, called Yan Chengjin out and said to him: "Do you know that the Tatars have sent envoys?"

"Hanyuan is in an uproar, and it's hard for a lower official not to know about it."

Yan Chengjin heard that Dayan Khan sent his second son to the Ming Dynasty to discuss business.

Yanguan complained that Dayan Khan's second son was not useful and the talks collapsed. If he had been born in the Ming Dynasty, he would have been impeached long ago.

However, Dayan Khan was really a flexible person. While fighting with Ming Dynasty, he also lowered his face to do business.

Zeng Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Not only the Tatars, but also Tibet and Annan and other countries have come, and they all want to order a new batch of iron tools. In the short term, where can the Ministry of Works get the iron tools from the three countries? Your Majesty said you can't favor one over the other. , it’s my fault that I didn’t think it through, the Ministry of Industry didn’t handle this well, I know you have a lot of ideas, hehe.”

Farming is about to begin, and with sharp iron tools, wasteland can be reclaimed and grain production increased. Which country does not rush to get Ming Dynasty's iron tools first.

Zeng Jian looked hopeful: "Is there anything my nephew can do?"

Please collect and recommend. The recommendation ticket is a bit lonely. It has 200,000 words and has not exceeded 10,000...
