The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yanfu,

Wang Busui came to see Yan Chengjin.

"Master, Chaoxian's envoy said that he wants to pay a large sum of money to visit Mr. Chuanshi, do you think?"

The envoy seemed to be very interested in the culture of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Chao Xian envoy. He bought all the books on Mr. Chuanshi, Mr. Qingshan and Yingke Song.

I came to Lao Wang's study early this morning, wanting to pay a visit to Mr. Chuanshi.

After discussing for a long time, he could not make up his mind, so he came to ask Yan Chengjin for instructions.

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment.

The Chao Xian envoy wanted to meet Mr. Chuanshi, either to buy him into Chao Xian nationality or to become his disciple.

"How much money will you give me?"

"Give me a hundred taels for the villain. If I really meet Mr. Chuanshi, I will add another hundred taels."

"Ask Mr. Wang."

These envoys were probably not as rich as Wang Yuecai. Wang Yuecai looked down on the arrogant envoys and simply let Wang Busui earn a hundred taels of silver.

There were still a few days before Hongzhi's hunting, and the imperial court asked the envoys to stay at Honglu Temple, and arranged to enter the palace one by one to meet the emperor.

Today's capital is relatively chaotic. You can see people from the envoys when you walk on the street. Yan Chengjin usually doesn't go out.

Xu Yong, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, took special care of Yan Chengjin. He specially sent some more people to patrol the Western District.

In Zhou Yu’s shop,

Zhou Yu invited many envoys to the house to discuss business. This was already the second wave. There were many objects placed in the main hall.

There are raw silk, colored silk, tea industry, rice, antiques, calligraphy and painting.

Last night, we traded a large amount of raw silk with the envoys from Hami. These envoys purchased it for the royal family, and they were very generous.

Especially interested in silk and porcelain.

Zhou Yu had a workshop in the south of the Yangtze River, specializing in making colorful porcelain.

This kind of porcelain has a shiny body, beautiful colors, and fresh atmosphere.

Not many years after he came out, he was very popular among Franji and Hu people.

Hami nodded: "How many pieces do you have, uncle? We want a thousand pieces."

"If you want one thousand, just ask me how much I have. I thought you wanted five thousand." Zhou Yu said with a dark face.

"What is this?" Envoy Annan asked in a broken Beijing accent.

Zhou Yu walked over and said with a smile: "This is Yunnan black medicine. It stops bleeding at the sight of blood. I know that you Annan often fights, so I will give you a cheaper price, twenty taels per cent."

Envoy Annan's expression changed continuously. He was not a fool. Such a small amount cost ten taels of silver.

Zhou Yu saw that he didn't believe it, so he asked the housekeeper to bring a knife, made a cut, and sprinkled a little powder of Yunnan black medicine, and the bleeding stopped immediately.

The envoys looked over one after another, very interested.

Fengtian Temple,

As soon as the Siamese envoys retreated, Mou Bin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. The envoys are making purchases in Beijing."

Emperor Hongzhi closed the memorial: "Let them purchase it."

"But... Uncle Chang Ning invited many envoys and sold Yunnan black medicine to them."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned. Yunnan black medicine has a miraculous effect on iron wounds. If it is used on my Ming Dynasty during the march and war in the future, what should I do?

"Inform me of my will, Commander Ning Bo enters the palace!"

Mou Bin quickly left the palace and escorted Zhou Yu into the palace. Zhou Yu didn't know what crime he had committed, and complained a little: "I didn't know that your Majesty summoned me..."

"Bold! Who allowed you to sell Yunnan black medicine!"

Emperor Hongzhi roared.

Zhou Yu trembled: "This item is not a weapon, nor is it a regulated item. I thought it could be sold..."

"Did you sell the prescription?"

"You have never taught a man to fish but not to fish. How could I not understand this truth?" Zhou Yu said honestly. He sold the prescription and no one would buy it from him in the future. He would not be so stupid. thing.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his anger gradually subsided, "It is my decree that from now on this thing will be treated as a weapon, and no one will be allowed to sell it to foreign countries."

Zhou Yu was in a dilemma: "But I have already accepted their money..."

Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face: "Do you want me to slap you and refund the money, or do you want to go back and refund the money now?"

"I will refund the money!"

Three days passed without incident.

The hunt I have been waiting for for a month is finally about to begin!

Today, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little uneasy and got up early. The cabinet ministers entered the palace at about nine o'clock.

Yan Chengjin was also a little uneasy.

After all, I haven't even organized a class activity before, so this is the first time I've dealt with such a big deal.

Emperor Hongzhi, wearing a dragon-gun suit and a purple-gold winged crown, was preparing to go to Shijingshan with envoys from various countries.

Yan Chengjin was wearing official uniform today. As the supervisor of the Beijing camp, he did not enter the palace and went directly to Shijingshan ahead of Emperor Hongzhi.

There were layers of ambush laid out in Shijingshan.

First the Jinyi Guards, then the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, and finally the Dongchang Factory Guards. Today they are all at Yan Chengjin's disposal.

Yan Chengjin also ordered archers to ambush in the surrounding mountains.

At a glance, they were all people...

Xu Yong looked strange: "My lord, are you being too cautious? With the troops from the capital camp here, no one dares to harm your majesty."

Yan Chengjin nodded.

With so many people ambushed, we are not afraid of any trouble.

Emperor Hongzhi's car drove the ceremonial procession to Shijingshan, followed by envoys and ministers.

The envoys were not optimistic about Daming's hunting.

During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty's military strength was at its peak, and all nations came to court, so Emperor Yongle had the confidence to hold a grand military parade.

The military strength of the Hongzhi Dynasty today is far inferior to that of the Yongle Dynasty, and even the Tatars cannot defeat them.

The Tatar envoy Mandu Lai, as well as Annan, Tubo and other vassal states, did not know what the Ming emperor meant, and even invited them to come and see the joke.

There is a high platform on the flat ground of Shijingshan for Emperor Hongzhi and the envoys to watch.

Zhu Houzhao scanned his eyes to find Yan Chengjin's figure. He failed to escape from the palace today, otherwise he would have arrived at Shijingshan long ago.

He saw that guy, Lao Gao, running over happily.

"Your servant Yan Chengjin, see your majesty!"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and smiled: "Let's start. Where should I sit? The envoys must also be entertained well."

"Your majesty's throne is on the high platform, and the seats of the gentlemen and envoys are also on the high platform. However, in order to have a better viewing experience, please do one thing first, your majesty and the envoys." Yan Chengjin said.

Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised, and then nodded.

Yan Chengjin led a group of people to the high wall: "This high wall is made according to the specifications of the city wall. Please kick it hard, your majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Could it be that he wants my dragon foot to be blessed?

Zhu Houzhao was also confused, blinked his eyes, and looked at the wall in front of him.

Wasn't this wall built by Lao Gao specifically for the Tuntianying? It turned out to be used for kicking.

"I'll kick it!"

Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao, raised his foot himself, and kicked the wall hard, his toes hurt: "Mr. Yan, is this okay?"

Yan Chengjin nodded: "On behalf of this wall, I thank your majesty for giving me the foot, and please kick it too."

The envoys of various countries looked at each other. They just circled around the wall. It was just an ordinary city wall, nothing special.

Kick it...

More than a dozen envoys raised their feet and kicked the wall.

Mandulai, the Tatar envoy, kicked especially hard, wishing he could kick the wall down.

But his ankles were tired from kicking, and he didn't move at all except to rub off a little powder.

The envoys had dark faces. No matter which country they visited, they didn't ask people to kick the wall first.

After the envoys had finished kicking, Yan Chengjin said to Li Dongyang and others: "Please kick it too."

The ministers were more cooperative. This was their own family's business. Even if they had complaints, they couldn't show them in front of the envoys. They left footprints on the wall saying "I was here".

Although Yan Chengjin didn't ask Zhu Houzhao to kick, Zhu Houzhao was very conscious and kicked again and again until Yan Chengjin shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness? Enough, enough, hurry up and take a seat on the high platform."
