Chapter 844: The legacy of the detention, the deep and schizophrenia of the bones
North Korean envoy Li Houbai dared not commit suicide. If he dared to commit suicide, he would not have waited until now. It would take courage to end his life, especially those like Li Houbai who have read a lot of books, understand the truth, and have no worries about food and clothing.
He had many opportunities for suicide, such as the Japanese pirates who had been killed by a month like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and the country was destroyed in front of him; for example, Lee Bing was killed by Lee Sun-chen, Lee Houbai's king was already dead, and North Korea substantially destroyed the country, so he could also commit suicide.
But he did not, but he insisted on taking advantage of the emperor's inappropriate conditions to ask the Ming Dynasty to kill him on the eve of the Ming Dynasty's mess.
He didn't have the courage to commit suicide. While he wanted to use the emperor's knife to kill himself, he also wanted to leave his name in history.
Zhu Yijun saw Li Houbai's true face clearly. In fact, he had not thought about whether to die or not. Where should North Korea go? If North Korea's deposed king Li Bing was a king worth following, if the Korean royal family and civil and military squads worked diligently to govern the country and the country's prosperity and peace, and North Korea's fate is now, Li Houbai will definitely die with the country.
But it's not worth it.
Li Houbai knew deeply that being beaten to Pyongyang by Japanese pirates in a month was a complete collapse, and that the Korean royal family and that North Korea were not worthy of their life to follow.
Zhu Yijun didn't care much about Li Houbai running to North Korea and leading the people of North Korea to resist the Ming Dynasty.
Annan Kingdom during the Xuande period of Yongle was completely different from North Korea today. North Korea's nine million dens dropped to 4.5 million dens in just two years. This blood feud was avenged by the Ming army to help North Korea.
When Gao Qiyu was negotiating with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi proposed a condition, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would not send North Korean soldiers and civilians to the mines of Japan. Toyotomi Hideyoshi would rather the Ming people be stationed than the Koreans enter, because in the eyes of the Japanese, they were all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, but there was still a difference between high and inferiority.
The Japanese always believed that they were defeated by the Ming Dynasty, not North Korea, and as a defeated general, North Korea was not qualified to station troops in Japan.
On the other hand, the Japanese are afraid of revenge by the Koreans. These Koreans don’t care about moral deviants at all, and they don’t hesitate to kill people at all.
Influenced by the ten thousand men and barbarians and wolf-faced and beast-faced hearts, Zhu Yijun always believed that barbarians in this era could only understand the language of fists, and would be honest after being beaten up, and they would adapt to it.
Secondly, Zhu Yijun was not worried at all that Li Houbai could make any noise after returning to North Korea.
The Ming people could not understand the ideas of people like Korea, Japanese, Annan, and Luzon. Even though they were all in the Confucian circle, there were still huge cognitive differences.
These people have never been able to decide their own destiny, but can only determine their own destiny by others. They are completely unable to imagine how they decide their own destiny. The experience their ancestors left to them for generations is not to grasp their own destiny, but to adapt to the experience and thinking mode of recognizing their fathers.
Even meat eaters and scholars in these places are the same. When thinking about problems and discussing problems, they are smart dads, Spanish dads, and foreign dads, and they always call their parents' country. This typical adaptive dad recognition model is at work.
Without a father on his head, these people felt panic and strange. They had to have a father on his head and pointed at him so that he could be content with his satisfaction.
This is true for the Thais, the red-haired, the golden-haired, and even the Ottomans, but the father on their heads is the invisible and intangible god, and it is just a religion.
This caused great trouble to the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, because the foreign envoys from these places like to recognize their fathers and habitually believe that others will recognize their fathers. Because these foreign envoys can only make chess pieces and chessboards, they especially like to choose sides and stand on the side, and naturally think that the Ming Dynasty also wants to choose sides.
But Daming knew deeply that he was a chess player and did not have to choose a side team.
For example, during the conflict between Spain's expedition to England, while the Ming and Spain were friendly countries, they also provided salt for the Netherlands' alliance, collected cargo and provided new ships to France, and also did business with the Ottomans.
It’s not too shabby to make money.
Wan Shihe once characterized this adaptive thinking pattern of recognizing fathers, called it the legacy of restraint, the deep and illness of bones, without spirit or master, and the spine is difficult to straighten.
That is: being trapped by colonial thinking.
Even Annan, who had built up a consensus on resistance for various reasons, never got rid of this colonized thinking trap.
During the Jiajing period, Annan State chose to sag. During the Yongle period, Annan's vassal state became an inner county of the Ming Dynasty, and during the Xuande period, it changed from an inner county of the Ming Dynasty to a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. During the Jiajing period, it changed from a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty to a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty again.
Annan Mo family was the chief commander of Annan in the Ming Dynasty, and was in the second rank and inherited from the heads of the past.
From beginning to end, Annan Kingdom has never gotten rid of the prefix of the Ming Dynasty.
North Korea is also deeply trapped in this colonial mind trap and has no general consensus on resistance. Li Houbai returned to North Korea and could not make trouble.
"Pedro, the Spanish envoy, paid a visit to Pedro." Feng Bao shook the whisk and announced the visit to the envoy.
"See the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, long live the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, long live long live long live long live long." Pedro paid a salute and received a visit. Even though he made a lot of efforts, he still failed to do this mission. The relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish friendly countries seemed to be drifting away.
This is not Spain, nor is it the Ming Dynasty. The years have passed, and the competition between the Ming Dynasty and Spain for the ownership of the sun is getting stronger and stronger. Their interests are no longer converging, which has led to this phenomenon. Although they have some very beautiful memories, they have gradually come to this situation in the end.
"No gift, is the fire at Furao Silver Mine not over yet?" Zhu Yijun asked about the scene of Furao Silver Mine.
The Ming Dynasty and Spain are friendly countries, but the boat of friendship can overturn as soon as possible.
All this started with wildfires from the rich silver mines. Spain reduced the silver imports to the Ming Dynasty on the grounds of wildfires from the rich silver mines, which once again caused the economic development of the Ming Dynasty to fall into fear of money shortage.
Pedro took a deep breath and said, "Report to your Majesty, the fire in the Rich Silver Mine has been extinguished, but it will take some time to resume production."
"You must be prepared for fires. If your country cannot prevent fires, the Ming Dynasty can provide some help. Oh, by the way, has the riots of the rich silver mines quelled?" Zhu Yijun asked again with a smile.
This is another reason Spain gave to the Ming Dynasty. The wildfires caused the land and land output to decrease, the indigenous people of the rich silver mines began to riot, the Peruvian Governor's Office could not control the situation, and the silver output of the rich silver mines was blocked, so the sufficient amount of silver could not be provided.
"The unrest has gradually subsided." Pedro replied with a tough bullet.
"You have also heard that the Ming Dynasty successively established the Governor's Office of Jinchi and the Datieling Guard, one producing gold and the other producing iron. The Ming Dynasty's war against Japan was quite smooth. Japan has agreed to hand over all the minerals, hoping that the Fucai Silver Mine will not be in a big fire or a riot." Zhu Yijun said sarcastically again.
Fires and riots were all excuses. Silver was transported back to Spain through a fleet of treasures to prepare for the expedition to England.
"After I return to Tessie, I will report to Your Highness the issue." Pedro is not a fool, so of course he understood the emperor's dissatisfaction.
Zhu Yijun asked again: "Li Yashi gave you a stack of Daming treasure banknotes. What do you think of these treasure banknotes?"
The Ming Dynasty established a new issuance system around the Tonghe Palace treasury, and it has begun to pilot it in Shuntian Prefecture. These treasure banknotes are generally regarded as silver notes among the people. Silver notes are really similar to treasure banknotes, but there are still differences. Silver notes are accounting currency, while treasure banknotes are credit currency.
Pedro thought for a while and said, "The printing is very exquisite, and the paper is wear-resistant and water-resistant, not easy to damage, and has excellent anti-counterfeiting. It is even more exquisite than the silver bills in many money houses in the capital, and is better than the gold bonds that are currently available in Spain."
To be honest, compared with Daming Baochao, the gold bonds produced by Felipe are no different from paper rubbing the butt. They are just handwritten bonds that are easily lost and damaged, making them inconvenient to use.
Of course, the meaning of the subtext is also very clear. The Ming Dynasty supplemented liquidity in its own way, and silver will not be an obstacle to the development of the Ming Dynasty.
Leyashi instructed Pedro not to use silver to threaten the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, threats are useless, and on the other hand, it is only harmful to Spain to provoke confrontation.
"As the supreme Emperor of Ming Dynasty, as a distant friendly country, can we obtain some of His Majesty's promises?" Pedro said with a serious expression.
Zhu Yijun sat upright and asked, "What kind of promise do you want?"
"We do not sell firearms, ships and other military items to England." Pedro made his own request.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "regardless of whether Spain requires it or not, until England does not meet the Ming Dynasty's requirements and revoke the private placement permit, the Ming Dynasty will not sell firearms, ships, gunpowder, bows, crossbows, armors, and long short-term soldiers to England, and even English merchants are not allowed to obtain Ming Dynasty goods."
"Of course, if the English buy from others, I can do nothing, and it will be beyond my reach."
Of course, Englishmen can obtain some goods through re-export, but the cost and premium of re-export are paid by the English.
Once at sea, it was a premium of more than 30%. The Englishmen don’t have many colonies now, and the little wealth accumulated by land grabbing is not enough for them to squander.
Zhu Yijun added: "This is based on a moral consensus. The risks at sea are already great enough. The existence of pirates has seriously affected free trade. It is basic morality to combat pirates and maintain the marine business environment, not the promise I have given to Felipe. Once England recovers the private placement license, the Ming Dynasty must also consider the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and England based on its own position."
It is possible that England will ban privateing permits, but it is unlikely that England will ban privateing.
England needed Ming Dynasty goods, but Ming Dynasty was far away in the sky. In front of it was a Spain that was going to expedition it. In the face of Spain's invincible fleet, England could only use privateer fleets, so England could not ban the privateer license in any case.
Zhu Yijun did not make a specific promise, but he told Pedro that the Ming Dynasty's principles of doing things, cracking down on pirates, and maintaining the orderly and healthy marine business environment, which was very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you, even based on moral consensus." Pedro breathed a sigh of relief. This was his other purpose for coming to the Ming Dynasty this time to ensure that the Ming Dynasty would not intervene in the British-Spanish War.
Even though the boat of friendship had capsized, Felipe did not want the Ming Dynasty to affect the situation in Thailand, especially the British-Spanish War, just like the Ming Dynasty did not want Spain to interfere in anything in Southeast Asia.
Zhu Yijun chose to respect Felipe.
"I solemnly warn Spain that the Ming Dynasty provides good and cheap goods, and you used silver to buy them. This is trade, not I bullying and oppressing you Spain. Don't always act like a victim. You can buy goods without the Ming Dynasty and chatter endlessly, then don't blame me for sealing the pass." Zhu Yijun seriously warned Spain's narrative style.
This warning includes the punishment for closure.
What does it mean to pay tribute to Spain from the Ming Dynasty? What does it mean that the trade between Spain and Ming Dynasty have suffered huge losses? What does a huge trade surplus mean that Spain's price crisis is triggered? What is the impact of the Ming Dynasty goods, which caused the destruction of Spain and even the entire Thai-sea handicraft workshop?
You can not come!
Spain is a unilateral narrative, and only sees that it has lost silver and gold, but not that they have taken ships of goods. Each of these goods is the fruits of labor of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and every two taels of silver is the hard-earned money of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun attaches importance to silver because all these are exchanged for labor by the people, and every two is worthy of attention.
If you take it all and use it like mud and sand, it means you will be disappointed.
The reason why the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could warn Spain in such a tone of admonition was that the Ming Dynasty could now issue money. The Ming Dynasty took over the mining rights of Japan. With this confidence, he did not have to rely on the inflow of silver from the Thais to preach Felipe's false narrative from the perspective of strength.
Zhu Yijun would not have done this before. After all, many of the Ming Dynasty's policies were closely related to the silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty by the Thais.
Now that the currency no longer relies on Taixi, Zhu Yijun began to deny this narrative. Taixi has never been a victim of the sailing trade, otherwise it would have been around for sixteen years and every year.
The Spanish style is actually related to Spain's economic distribution model at this time. Spain's distribution model is ultimately just one word, grabbing.
The most typical example here is the Spanish Treasure Fleet.
There are usually two treasure fleets, one is a Caribbean fleet, which is formed by the Spanish royal family and nobles, and travels from the mainland to the New World to the New World to the Port of El Cruz in the Caribbean.
The other is the Manila fleet, which starts from two Americas to Manila in Luzon.
The Spanish royal family took one-fifth of the treasure fleet as taxes, and all the remaining nobles, shipowners, and crew members shared the spoils together. The credibility of gold bonds was not gold, but these treasure ships.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
It is generally believed that Felipe can pay these bonds because the treasure ship brings back countless treasures every year.
Felipe usually sells licenses to maintain his power without challenges, using the license of the treasure ship to reward and win over his allies.
The red-haired fan that I had used to was unable to beat the Ming Dynasty and could not be snatched, so I honestly took out the silver and handed it to the Ming Dynasty, and then exchanged for the goods I needed, but because the silver was lost to the Ming Dynasty, I just talked nonsense and made a one-sided narration.
Zhu Yijun said with a stern face: "People cannot be so shameless."
"If you are worried that silver will be lost to the Ming Dynasty due to trade, you should try your best to improve the types and quality of your goods; if you are afraid of the impact of Ming goods, you should try to reduce the cost of goods to prevent Ming goods from entering the Thai West; if you are afraid of the quantity of Ming goods, you should improve production efficiency and methods."
"Instead of this hypocritical attitude, isn't this bullying the Ming people's honesty? Should honest people be bullied like this?"
"Your Majesty is right." Pedro was choked and couldn't speak. He was stunned for a long time, and finally accepted the admonition. It was indeed fair free trade, and it was indeed your wish.
Pedro knew very clearly that everything His Majesty said seemed to be right. His Majesty was not old and he didn't tell much truth.
The Ming Dynasty had the military force to protect itself, but if it could not be defeated, it would not be able to grab it. If the Ming Dynasty could compete with normal means, it would have long brought the goods from the ship to the Ming Dynasty to dump, and would it still be used to play the victim here?
Spain and England, even five or six-year-old children are drilling into the chimney!
In fact, Felipe II knew very well how to become a strong opponent of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the entire Thais were closely united, and there were food to produce grain, craftsmen to produce craftsmen, and raw materials to produce raw materials. Working together to continuously study, even a loose commercial alliance could greatly improve Thais' competitiveness.
Unfortunately, Felipe made great efforts to do this, but achieved little success. He knew very well that this was difficult to do. There was only one way to unite the entire Thais, that is, Rome's return to lightning.
However, Rome was destroyed, and the Romans were all minorities in Italy.
Pedro has gains and losses in the face of the saint this time, and his deep friendship with the Ming Dynasty is becoming thinner. The two countries have changed from cooperation to cooperation and confrontation. Fortunately, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty's dissatisfaction with the privateer license prevented the English from getting any help in the Ming Dynasty.
This year, the English messengers were not even allowed to rush from the Wanguo City in Songjiang Prefecture to meet the capital. The English messengers came for nothing.
Zhu Yijun summoned envoys from France, the Netherlands and other countries one after another, fulfilling his promise to sell salt and collect Ming goods in Da Guangming City. Both returned with satisfaction.
"Envoy Shah, I cannot agree to the 50,000 taels of silver you proposed to exchange for your identity as a free life in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yijun looked at the letter of state in front of him and said with great confidence: "A student from the Mengwuer Kingdom, after finishing his book, he will go back to the Mengwuer Kingdom. What should I do when I stay in the Ming Dynasty?"
"I can't reuse them."
Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Song and Ming dynasties have not used the Hu people much. After all, such a big historical lesson is there and cannot be ignored.
The Mengwuer people are also Hu people. Where did they come from? Zhu Yijun could not agree to exchange silver for the status of free movement in Yongju.
"I heard that the Ming Dynasty's national treasury and internal treasury were empty, so I dared to make this suggestion. If Your Majesty doesn't need it, I will tell His Highness Akbar." Shah Mamaiti didn't care much. This matter was proposed by Akbar, the King of Mungul, to ask the emperor if he allowed it.
A person with 50,000 taels of silver is really a lot, and he just bought an identity, but the emperor disagreed, so it would be fine.
The Ming Dynasty was the country of the Celestial Empire. Some international students thought of staying while reading, and then wrote a letter to return to the Mengwuer Kingdom for inquiries.
"The Ming Dynasty highly recognizes the joint anti-drug matters. It can communicate with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice to crack down on opioid trafficking together." Zhu Yijun talked about another thing in Shah Mamaitili, cracking down on opioid trafficking.
"And your king is a little worried. After the study of the Ming Dynasty Jieyu Academy, as long as the court and the yamen can still perform basic functions, crack down on drug dealers, and suppress the circulation of drugs, the death rate of opioid smokers will be greater than the spread rate of drugs."
"Ultimately, the scale of the smokers can never be expanded, and the scale of the production area cannot be expanded, because the smokers are extinct and a large number of opiates will be unsalable."
After hearing about the Ming Dynasty's strict drug control, Akbar wanted to learn successful experience. The Ming Dynasty immediately expressed his welcome and shared the anti-drug technology to fight drug control with the Mongolian Kingdom.
However, Akbar was a little too afraid of the harm of opioids. He was worried that all opioids that could not enter the Ming Dynasty would run to the Kingdom of Mongolia to cause a crisis.
Shah Maimati bowed and said, "Dear Your Majesty, not all courts are operating like the Ming Dynasty, like a sophisticated machine. It is a loose alliance in our Mongolian Kingdom, which leads to the major anti-drug incidents, which are difficult to carry out. Therefore, we still need to rely on the Ming Dynasty forbidden opioids from leaking out of the Strait of Malacca."
This is also the purpose of Akbar preparing to buy the "Ming Dynasty Nationality". Akbar is just giving money. It doesn't matter if he stays or not. He gives some silver to His Majesty the Emperor, hoping that the emperor can continue to kill himself in the Strait of Malacca to prevent opioids from spreading to the Mongolian Kingdom.
If opium was spread to the Mongolian Kingdom on a large scale, Akbar would not be able to ban it.
Oda City was the last messenger to meet, and she presented a detailed rules for mineral delivery.
This detailed rule handed over the ownership of the mineral to the Ming Dynasty. This detailed rule made a very clear plan for the establishment of the mining area, such as the territory of the Ming Dynasty ten miles around the mine, organizing Japanese slave mining and other related matters.
This detailed rules are exactly the same as those presented by Gao Qiyu, and there is no deception.
After leaving Oda City, Zhu Yijun held the detailed rules in his hand and said, "These Japanese daimyos support this detailed rules very much, because after the Ming Dynasty stationed the troops, the Ming army could not mine them by themselves. These compradors from Japan need to organize the recruitment of craftsmen and Japanese slaves to mine them."
"The interests of brokers and compradors and even these daimyos have not been damaged, and their status has even become more stable. The people Ikki will become timid because of the Ming army."
This detailed rule is extremely strict and it is definitely unacceptable to the Ming Dynasty. Even if it is placed on the Tartars, the Tartars would not dare to sign it.
The Kyoto Treaty requires the cessation of minerals, but there is no deadline. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also has the right to prospect, and the discovered minerals are also owned by the Ming Dynasty.
Such a treaty has received support from many daimyos because these daimyos are beneficiaries, not victims. The Ming Dynasty wants to use them, and the minerals are worthless. Everything mined belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will give the Japanese treasure banknotes.
"The Ming Dynasty should be taken as a warning. Too banned trade and trade, it will always be called accumulating and profitable, and material desires are rampant. This is a corrupt statement of a lowly Confucian scholar. However, if it emphasizes business too much, the country will definitely be disgraced. To a certain extent, the heart-wrenching appeal of the old scholars of the retro school played a certain role." Zhu Yijun said in a concluding manner.
These brokerage compradors and daimyos really deserve to betray the collective interests and have no psychological burden at all.
"The Japanese are ambitions. Now the Japanese respect the Ming Dynasty because the rapid sailing ships built by the Ming Dynasty were used for war, not for fishing. If they really listened to what these naughty scholars said, and cultivated their literary virtues and were soft and distant, I am afraid that the Japanese are now calling themselves to enter the Tang Dynasty." Zhu Yijun felt that he was too sure of these naughty scholars, and added one more.
Cultivating literary virtues to distance people by being gentle, neither can cultivate literary virtues nor can it be softer, because these barbarians cannot understand any truth other than fists.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng led his ministers to praise merits. The old scholars of the retro school are not useless at all. Too suppression of business is of course not good, but too much emphasis on business will indeed lead to a country but a country will be in disguise.
After the court discussion, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty changed into a regular dress and took a group of cavalrymen to head from the General's Mansion toward Yanxing Tower. Mr. Huang, the Huang family of Penglai, had a gathering today to listen to, and the content of the discussion was the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote.
Zhu Yijun wanted to know the views of the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty on the issuance of Baochao.
The Ming Dynasty issued banknotes again, wealthy businessmen and tycoons were robbing, while the literati and officials started a discussion on the treasure banknotes. The recent talks were all about the treasure banknotes.
Most of the scholars expressed surprise and shock!
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty actually used the gold from the treasury as reserve to issue money, which was even more terrifying than the sun hitting the west. Some people even thought that the Ming Dynasty had eaten the biggest defeat since the Wanli Reformation in Japan, so the emperor was willing to take out the gold to prepare money for issuing money.
The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain.
The scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty generally believed that it was more reasonable than His Majesty who would rather watch the Aoshan Fireworks Club in the bell and drum tower during the New Year than to reward His Majesty, who was a thrifty man. Qi Jiguang was defeated, which was more reasonable than His Majesty's gold.
This is undoubtedly prejudice! Complete prejudice!
Your Majesty, who has always been frugal, has made such huge concessions for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!
The gold warehouse only enters and does not leave, and it will increase the gold reserves of 1 million to 1.5 million taels every year, increasing the credibility of Baochao.
Zhu Yijun stood in front of the door of Taibai Building, looking at the topic we were talking about today, with a confused look on his face. He was reflecting on whether he was too kind-hearted in daily life.
Today’s topic: ‘How about is it to issue twelve treasure notes to the people of the Ming Dynasty every year? ’
