Chapter 464 Put aside the military threat and promote overseas treasure banknotes
In the seventh year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang established a treasure banknote promotion department. In the eighth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty's current treasure banknotes were officially issued. , was abolished in the 26th year of Hongwu. In the past 18 years, the Ming Dynasty issued a total of 104.5 million ingots of popular treasure banknotes. From the 22nd year of Hongwu, small banknotes were added, ranging from ten to fifty coins. Not all of these 100 million ingots are large banknotes, but there are also small banknotes ranging from one hundred to five hundred cash, and ten to fifty cash.
In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, banknotes were worn out after being used for a long time, and the banknote law was reversed, allowing old folk banknotes to be replaced with new banknotes, and the exchange of quasi-copper coins and treasure banknotes. In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Baoyuan Bureau was stopped due to lack of copper. In the autumn of the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that money could not be used because of obstacles in the implementation of banknotes. In the 26th year of Hongwu, it was inconvenient to pour banknotes, so the printing of Ming Tongbao banknotes was stopped.
The currency of the Ming Dynasty was very good. At least before the autumn of the 25th year of Hongwu, the banknotes could be exchanged for money from the official treasury. They were cashable banknotes. They were not truly cashable until the autumn of the 25th year of Hongwu. In the short period of twenty-six years, Hongwu stopped printing money in the twenty-sixth year because there were no more copper coins in the treasury and it was completely emptied.
The corruption of the Kaizhong method in the Ming Dynasty was due to similar reasons.
Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, which frequently spent hundreds of millions of banknotes, and the Hu and Yuan Dynasties, which frequently abolished banknotes and reprinted them, the Ming Dynasty adopted treasure banknotes and did not engage in the trick of exchanging more old banknotes for newer ones. In the end, the Ming Dynasty In the year 276, only one kind of banknote, the Ming Dynasty's popular treasure banknote, was issued, and all of them bore the Hongwu era name. It was considered a typical example of holding on to one's neck until death.
After this, the Ming Dynasty still retained the Baochao Bureau and printed Baochao, more as a symbol of preserving the ancestral system.
The Ministry of Revenue intended to implement the banknote method, but was blocked by Wenhua Palace, while the Ministry of War relied on coal-silver convection and the inn to obtain banknotes, which are actually a contract, accounting currency, and paid banking business. , you can exchange it for coke to go south at Xishan Coal Bureau, or you can redeem it at Jingshi Huitongguanyi.
Wang Chonggu, the Minister of Punishment, told the emperor a short story at the end. Jin Xiao, an oil seller, was framed for picking up gold without knowing it. The county magistrate Chen Zhen seemed to have over-enforced the law and imposed excessive threats and punishments. Zhu Yijun felt that Zhang Juzheng was right. , the Ming Dynasty's atmosphere was ruined by such trivial matters. The court wanted to prevent the slightest change, but it was extremely difficult to do so.
After the court meeting, Zhu Yijun left Zhang Juzheng alone, not because he had any confidential matters to discuss, but simply to show off the results of his unprofessional conduct.
"Sir, look, this picture is a kiln shaft of Xishan Coal Bureau. Most of the kiln workers work underground. The coal in Mentougou is buried deep, making underground work very dangerous. In order to ventilate the air, the craftsmen made a long tube. It is very ingenious to insert the ground into the well and use a reciprocating steam engine for ventilation." There is a painting in front of Zhu Yijun, which shows kiln workers mining coal. The ventilation device is an important invention of Xishan kiln this year.
“What is this?” Zhang Juzheng asked, pointing to a line on the picture with some confusion.
Zhu Yijun explained: "There is a torch at the ventilation outlet. If the outgas is ignited, it proves that there is poisonous smoke underground, which is very dangerous. You must go to the well immediately. In order to notify the underground, a copper bell is hung with a wire , when the copper bell shakes rapidly and someone shouts in the loudspeaker, immediately get out of the well. "
Gas leakage accidents are called poisonous smoke in the Ming Dynasty. Once there is poisonous smoke, leave the well immediately, Zhang Juzheng. It refers to a complete set of alarm devices. There are several kinds of bells that can be shaken. If water seepage is found, the underground kiln residents should immediately shake the bell and retreat immediately. If they are too late, they may die underground.
This set of iron wire and copper bells is the lifeline underground.
“This one, a new measuring cart!” Zhu Yijun came to a cart, which is a comprehensive mapping tool.
He walked to the cart and pulled out the first rod, and then the cross beam was stuck in place to prevent the rod from falling off. This rod is a sextant, which is used to observe Beichen's angle of departure and dimensions. , and then pulled out the second rod, which was a triangular mapping telescope, responsible for determining the angle of the observation target. He pushed the cart for a few steps, and there was a change in the reading. This was the path distance, and then he started from A shovel, a pair of pliers, and a pickaxe were taken out from the scooter.
He opened the box on the cart. There were inks, pens, and a wooden board with clips on it. There were many cut standard papers on it, and a mechanical calculator. , two clocks.
“Is this a measuring scooter?” Zhang Juzheng was stunned. The picture in front was drawn by the craftsmen of Xishan Coal Bureau based on practice, and the scooter in front of him was obviously the same as what he knew. The scooter used for walking is completely different.
"This is my suggestion. The Dr. Wu of the Institute of Geosciences, if you make something, it will be much more convenient to hunt for dragons and share gold, find mineral veins, and draw survey maps in the future." Zhu Yijun stood in front of the measuring scooter. , said with a smile on his face, he took advantage of Zhang Juzheng still in the court and had the time to fish, so he personally designed and produced such a tool that was very convenient for Dr. Gewu.
The great inventor Zhu Yijun.
Zhang Juzheng walked around the measuring scooter twice, then verified the functions one by one, studied the structure of the vehicle, and kept saying: "Interesting, interesting."
"Sir, let's go When I was there, I took one with me. I made a lot of them, and the Doctors of Gewu all have one. They are not expensive, and each one costs less than two taels of silver." Zhu Yijun continued to explain how to use various tools.
In the northern hemisphere, the observation dimension is just the angle between the north pole and the earth. But in the southern hemisphere, you need to look for the south pole sky, the vertical bisector of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, and the point that forms an equilateral triangle with the Magellanic Clouds. But In practice, mistakes are often made because a false cross interferes.
The two clocks are used to measure longitude. They record the Beiya time. The two are responsible for calibrating each other to average the average. There is also a sundial to measure the local time. These are all used by the navy masters at sea. The experience of constant navigation and every algorithm are extremely valuable.
Zhu Yijun chatted with Zhang Juzheng enthusiastically about the various wonderful uses of this tool.
"Good, good, good stuff." Zhang Juzheng studied for a long time and said with confidence: "With this, you won't have to worry about how big the world is."
"Also "Zhu Yijun brought Zhang Juzheng to a huge Kan map, and opened the red silk cloth. On it was a giant Kan map, which was a detailed map of the counties and counties in the Ming Dynasty. There was also a box under the table. Inside is a more precise map of the four governor-general offices of two capitals and thirteen provinces.
The Royal Gewuyuan completed the mapping around the Guandao Post Road of the Ming Dynasty in stages, and the map of the Ming Dynasty was finally no longer out of proportion.
"Map! When sir returns to the cabinet, take a copy back and study it slowly." Zhu Yijun showed part of the Kan map. Only the map of Suiyuan was simply outlined, but the general shape could also be seen. .
"Since the degree bypass, the mapping of the Ming Dynasty has finally made significant progress after the old god Guo Shoujing. It has been almost three hundred years." Zhu Yijun is extremely pleased with the results of the past nine years. After Guo Shoujing's mapping of the world, the Ming Dynasty finally has a Further mapping achievements.
It is not easy for the things left by the old immortal to be preserved for three hundred years, and now the Ming court finally takes another step forward on the shoulders of the old immortal.
"Are you quite opposed to the recent New Deal, sir?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng about his views on the recent New Deal.
Zhu Yijun has grown up, and the center of power is gradually transferring from Zhang Juzheng to the emperor. The recent New Deal is quite radical, including the expansion of Yanxing Tower Trading House, the trial implementation of national debt and banknote laws overseas, and the acceptance of post stations. No matter what item the bill of exchange is, it is somewhat incompatible with the Ming Dynasty and runs counter to the ethics.
In the process of the transformation of the small-scale peasant economy into the commodity economy, due to the abundance of commodities, a fetishism of omnipotence will arise, and silver flows into the silver dams in Jingshi, Nanya, Songjiang and other places. Fetishism will inevitably transform into money worship, which believes that money is omnipotent. Whether it is material worship or money worship, it will have a huge impact on the Confucian scholar-bureaucrats who worship morality.
"I really don't agree with it." Zhang Juzheng chose to tell the truth. His Majesty asked directly, and he answered directly. He made so many detours and guessed that it was not suitable for them as a monarch and his ministers. He thought about the mode of getting along and said again and again: "In fact, in my opinion, the intensity of the New Deal is completely sufficient, there is no need to go further."
Five-masted ocean crossing ships are enough, there is no need to build fast sailing ships It is enough to clear the land and return the land, there is no need to conduct a census and equalize the land service; six books and one account are enough, the Ming Dynasty's financial resources are increasing day by day, there is no need to expand the trading house, and there is no need to issue national debt; the silver and red money that poured into the Ming Dynasty are There is enough copper, so there is no need to explore the banknote method; the "Regulations on Giving to Posts" is enough, and the acceptance bills of the post are overridden by the Ministry of War.
With all this, Zhang Juzheng felt that enough was enough. If he continued, he would threaten the imperial power.
The emerging bourgeoisie will never satisfy the current class. With more social resources in their hands, they will become increasingly dissatisfied with top-down exploitation. The emerging bourgeoisie will definitely find ways to achieve their goals. Class jump, that is, rebellion.
This has historical lessons. The Anshi Rebellion caused the Tang Dynasty to slide from its prosperity to hell. After the Anshi Rebellion was put down, the Jiedu envoys discovered their own strength and became kings of the mountains one by one. Separatism became the biggest chaos in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
When a class controls social resources that are completely beyond the control of its class, it becomes inevitable to want to go further.
The Fuwei Holy Dynasty governed the world with filial piety. Filial piety is the basic operating rule of society under Confucianism: the official order is appropriate for each, high and low, so it shows that future generations will have the order of respect for the elder and the younger.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng's expression and showed a bright smile. Just like before, Zhu Yijun remembered that one is one and two is two. He asked Zhang Juzheng to distinguish between the king's father, the king's master and the king's country. Come, at that time, Zhang Juzheng refused, and now Zhang Juzheng still refuses.
Zhang Juzheng's New Deal never thought about establishing a new order from beginning to end, but was just to extend the life of the Ming Dynasty.
The current New Deal is indeed a bit too deviant.
"Then sir, if you don't agree, why don't you object?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.
Zhang Juzheng frowned. After thinking carefully, he shook his head and said: "Because I don't know how to object, there are hidden worries in the recent implementation of the New Deal. This is actually normal. No decree is perfect. Contradictions are everywhere, and good and bad exist in opposition and unity, and they are too weak to eat."
"So I have to try it first."
Da Ming now has the capital to try and make mistakes. , isn't it the precarious situation when His Majesty first came to the throne? The specific quality of the decree should be tried first. Anyway, it is just a pilot. If it is successful, it will be done. Isn't it possible that there are still some sycophants like "Zhang Juzheng" and "Wang Chonggu"?
Zhang Juzheng collected the things His Majesty gave him, and before returning to Wenyuan Pavilion, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, in the case of Chen Zhen, the magistrate of Shicheng County, the owner is probably a lackey of the local Zheshe household. , Chen Zhen has just taken office, and the local Zheshe household is afraid that Chen Zhen will be given a blow, and Chen Zhen is not a fool. "
Zhu Yijun said with considerable approval: "Thirty taels of silver is not something ordinary people can afford."
This is not surprising. He had just ascended the throne, and Zhang Siwei planned to give the emperor a disastrous move by bringing in Wang Jinglong. The palace frightened the emperor.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth month of the ninth year of Wanli, I miss my loved ones even more during the festive season. Governor Xu Wei, who was far away in the Governor’s Mansion in Nagasaki, rarely opened a bottle of Guojiao from the first year of Wanli and called for Ti. Sun Keyi, the envoy to the city, Li Chengli, the commander of the Nagasaki capital, the eunuch Wang Dynasty, the censor Luo Yinghe, and others.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion. They are all in a foreign country and can only look at the bright moon and feel homesick.
"Everyone, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's drink a lot." Xu Wei raised his wine glass. He didn't say so many toasts, but it was boring. Five people shared a pound, and each person only had three taels.
“Some good news came from the capital.” After Xu Wei finished his glass of wine, he talked about the news about the Ming Dynasty.
“Qi Shuai’s gold-armed iron horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, stepped on the platform, beheaded five thousand soldiers, watched the Weiwei grassland, drove straight into the Hetao, and then regained the Hetao. This is the first joy.”
“Datong, Shengzhou and Womagang discovered Dameishan, Tongshan and Yinshan. From then on, the Ming Dynasty was in urgent need of silver and had to rely entirely on overseas imports. This is the second joy."
"The Daming Water. The division has expanded from 30,000 to 90,000, and is stationed in Mizhou, Songjiang, Guangzhou, and Ryukyu. The waves in our Ming Dynasty have calmed down, and there are no more worries about Japanese pirates on the sea. This is the third joy."
"Your Majesty. It is the fourth joy to have another princess, a legitimate daughter. "Congratulations to your majesty!"
"Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank again, and the Nagasaki Governor's Mansion was filled with joy.
This is a happy event closely related to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace. The Ming Dynasty is still promoting military power, so the Nagasaki Governor's Palace will inevitably continue to exist. Silver does not have to rely on overseas. This is the top priority for the security of silver. Nagasaki The pressure on the Governor's Mansion has been reduced sharply, and the Navy has expanded its forces. If there is a change in the Governor's Mansion in Nagasaki, there will be support. His Majesty is delighted to have a daughter. If any Governor's Mansion burns high incense and honors the princess, it will naturally be even more joyful. .
“What a fine wine, Governor Xu is picking at it, but he is only willing to open one bottle of this good wine!” Li Chengli swung the bottle and found that it had reached the bottom.
Sun Keyi waved his hands repeatedly and said: "After all, we are in Nagasaki, so we still have to be careful. Drinking too much will cause trouble."
It's not that it's not, it's just that it's inconvenient to drink openly.
"Sun Tiju, how many Japanese slaves have been sent to the Yuanxu Islands in the past six months?" Xu Wei looked at Sun Keyi and asked in a low voice. As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Sun Keyi, the Japanese slave business , is the shady slave trade.
There is demand in the Yuanxu Islands, and the Nagasaki Governor's Palace has a supply of Japanese slaves. There is demand and supply, and naturally there is a price and profit. The Nagasaki Governor's Palace is very good at ringing bells, and the Japanese slaves are produced Out extremely high.
Since Chen Lin assisted the Nagasaki Governor's Palace and defeated the Shimazu clan, Ryuzoji clan and Otomo clan, the entire Kyushu Island of Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bungo, Bungo, Hizen, Higo, Hinata, The nine countries of Satsuma and Osumi, including the 1,400 islands under their jurisdiction, are all under the Nagasaki Governor's Office.
Since Chen Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Navy, left Nagasaki, the Nagasaki Governor's Office has been doing one thing, which is to counter the rebellion, but if you want to kill the prisoners after the rebellion, kill the prisoners. It was ominous, and if they were not killed, it would be a hindrance to keep them, so they all rang the bell and were sent to the Yuanxu Islands to work as slaves and open up wasteland.
Isn’t it beautiful to solve the dilemma yourself?
"Thirty thousand, and another 4,700 Japanese wandering girls were sent to Songjiang Mansion." Sun Keyi said calmly. Sun Keyi was from Songjiang, and he was a witness to the Japanese invasion, which made him sympathize with the Japanese. , he really couldn't do it, so he behaved cold-bloodedly, picking off people's bells like knocking pigs.
Blood feud can only be repaid with blood. How did the Japanese pirates wreak havoc in the southeast, and now Sun Keyi is taking reciprocal revenge.
Thirty thousand Japanese slaves, not all of them were prisoners, some were captured by specialized slave catchers. There are about 1 million Japanese slaves on Kyushu Island. In half a year, they picked 30,000 pairs of bells, which is very efficient. Already very low.
"The capital sent a batch of treasure banknotes, and I plan to use this batch of treasure banknotes in exchange for silver." Xu Wei took out a box and opened it. Inside was Ming Dynasty's overseas treasure banknotes, which were different from the current treasure banknotes. Overseas treasure banknotes use the Wanli era number.
Luo Yinghe, the censor of the patrol, turned over the exquisite treasure banknotes, shook his head and said: "The printing is extremely beautiful, and it looks quite strong, a pile of waste paper, the Maori family, the Oda family, You are not an idiot, so why would you want to exchange waste paper for silver and sulfur?"
As the censor, Luo Yinghe had contact with the Japanese nobles, and the top leaders of the Japanese country all learned Chinese. The same goes for correspondence.
The laws, medical books, and scriptures of the Japanese country are all written in Chinese. This is a class barrier. The common people of the Japanese country have no access to sinology, and they cannot understand the legal and medical texts. This is what the Japanese country does. , the same is true for North Korea.
The top leaders of the Japanese country still know the Ming Dynasty very well. It is expected that the Ming Dynasty’s treasure money is not as good as toilet paper.
“If they don’t want it, then they don’t want it?” Commander Li Chengli flipped through a wad of treasure notes and said with slightly squinted eyes: “They have to take it even if they don’t want it. The Japanese say it doesn’t matter.”
In the second year of Wanli, Zhang Yuanxun, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, sent Li Chengli to Chaozhou Prefecture to pacify the Japanese pirates who were occupying Chaozhou's overseas islands. Li Chengli was defeated and Yin Zhengmao dismissed Li Chengli. Later, Li Chengli attacked Manila, Cebu, and Mindanao. After many meritorious service, he became a staff general again and was transferred from Luzon to Nagasaki.
The appointment and dismissal of officials in the Governor-General's Palace of Luzon are based on orders from the imperial court, which is consistent with the fact that the Duke's Palace of Yunnan and Guizhou receives orders from the king.
Now Li Chengli is fully capable of taking charge of his own affairs. In many civil unrests, Li Chengli always took the lead. In the past two years, Li Chengli fought the security war. He fought from the perspective of strength. Say this.
The Japanese country doesn’t want treasure money, but they still have to ask for it, and they have to exchange it for real gold and silver!
"Tomorrow I plan to send people to invite many family governors such as the Mouri clan, Chosogabe clan, Kono clan, Tokugawa clan, Gohojo clan, Kamisugami clan, etc. to come to Nagasaki to ask the King of Japan Ashikaga In the name of Yoshiaki, I asked them to come and discuss the matter of the treasure." Xu Wei looked around and made a decision.
When Ichiboji promoted the eunuch Chao Chao to hear this, he thought for a moment and said: "Last time Ashikaga Yoshiaki's carrot seal was rotten, let's carve a new one."
Muromachi The seal and ribbon of the Japanese king in the shogunate were originally given by the Ming Dynasty. It is very reasonable for the Nagasaki Governor-General's Palace of the Ming Dynasty to engrave the seal and ribbon of the Japanese king. It was already carved with radish last time.
"Okay." Xu Wei nodded and said, if you are willing to come, that would be the best. If you are not willing to come, then Xu Wei will summon the heavenly soldiers and generals, and ask Shuri Bo Chen Lin to cross the ocean with the five masts. Boat, invaded the house and kidnapped them.
"The most difficult thing here is Oda Nobunaga. If he wants to be a man of the world, he may not be willing to give us this face." Luo Yinghe, the censor of the patrol, said slightly worriedly.
"Everyone else came, but he didn't come. He couldn't do it even if he wanted to be a member of the world." Xu Wei smiled carelessly. In the past, these Warring States daimyo were afraid of Oda Nobunaga's reputation and recognized him in the world. Regarding human identity, now that the Ming Dynasty has come, if Oda Nobunaga does not come, he will be at a disadvantage and will no longer be a member of the world.
Prestige is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.
On August 16, the ninth year of Wanli, the Nagasaki Coastal Defense Inspection Department, a total of 24 coastal defense inspections flew on the water, set up hydrofoil sailboats, and flew towards the major shogunate with the Big Dipper flag.
As the governor of Nagasaki, the great angel, Xu Wei will summon the daimyo on behalf of the Japanese king in Nagasaki on the first day of September.
To go or not to go, this is not a question. These Warring States lords had no choice at all. They could only go by hydrofoil sailboat and bring two retinues with them.
Let’s not mention the direct military threat of the Ming Dynasty Navy. Although the five-masted ocean crossing ship has an armed patrol every year, it is called a drill, but in fact it is a deterrent. It is a real and visible threat.
Leaving aside the military threat, how could we still do business with the Ming Dynasty if we hated the Nagasaki Governor's Palace? The entire Japanese daimyo had to go through the Nagasaki Governor's Palace to complete their trade with the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Wei said a word, and they had to eat chaff and drink water, and they had to come.
The power of economic constraints is gradually showing. As long as Xu Wei does not want their lives, does not let them die, and does not ask too much, he can only agree to the daimyo before leaving, each and every one of his family members. I cried and told the story of my funeral, fearing that for some strange reason I might get a knife on my neck when I arrived in Nagasaki.
Xu Wei has been actively preparing. This time, he asked a total of twenty famous people to come to discuss the important matter of treasure banknotes, which is both banknote issuance and trade. This large-scale trade fair will be held every year. This year, Ming Dynasty The accumulated merchandise needs to be sold and the share for the coming year determined.
The daimyo's perception of the Nagasaki Governor's Palace is extremely complicated. On the one hand, the Nagasaki Governor's Palace was originally a territory of their Japanese country, but now it has become the overseas governor's district of the Ming Dynasty. This is obviously the Ming Dynasty's response to Jiajing. revenge for the Japanese invasion; on the other hand, this trade fair was actually a disguised form of tribute trade.
Before the establishment of the Nagasaki Governor's Office, the Japanese state could only pay tribute once every ten years, and it was stipulated that there were only two ships, and they were two-masted Japanese ships. In order to pay tribute once every ten years, during the Jiajing period, there was a farce of Japanese envoys competing for tribute. Come.
Now, tribute trade can be carried out once a year, which makes the attitude of the Japanese towards the Nagasaki Governor's Palace complicated and contradictory. They do not want the Nagasaki Governor's Palace to exist, but they are also afraid that the Nagasaki Governor's Palace will really leave.
The trade fair was postponed from the first day of the lunar month to the ninth day of the lunar month, eight days later than the agreed date.
The reason for the delay was that Shuri Bo Chen Lin, with three five-masted transoceanic ships, was rushing from Matsue Prefecture to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace. Xu Wei, after receiving the news, immediately chose to postpone , Chen Lin is here to use force as a deterrent. Of course, the forced melon is not sweet, but it can quench your thirst.
Oda Nobunaga came because his main enemies had arrived in Nagasaki.
The Mori Terumoto of the Mori family on the west side, the Nagaso Gabe Motochichi on the south side, the Uesugi Kagekatsu of the Uesugi family on the north side, and the Hojo Uji Nao on the east side, these are all Oda Nobunagabu The enemy on Wu Tianxia Road, Oda Nobunaga had to come. If he didn't come, these families would encircle Nobunaga for the third time, and Oda Nobunaga wouldn't be able to bear it.
Xu Wei met Oda Nobunaga for the first time. He brought two entourages to visit the Governor's Mansion.
With a Tsukiyo head on his head, no matter how handsome his face is, his face will become strange. He has a high nose, a mustache under his nose, and a Tangyi with white inside and green outside. The weirdest thing is that Oda Nobunaga Wearing a red cloak, this red cloak is the style of the King of Thailand.
Oda Nobunaga maintained a group of missionaries in Kyoto. At first, the Japanese people did not know where the red-haired fans came from, so they called them Nanman. His cloak came from a gift from the missionaries.
A very different kind of dress.
But the daimyo are not surprised. In the eyes of the daimyo, Oda Nobunaga is the devil, and it is not surprising that he dresses differently. There are rumors that before Oda Nobunaga succeeded to the family governor, he liked to wear women's clothes and have sex with his sister Oda. The city is also called a beauty.
"The King of Japan, Oda Nobunaga, a man of the world, met the Ming Dynasty's special envoy." Oda Nobunaga did not kneel down. Obviously, he knew that it was impossible to get support from the Ming Dynasty. The general of the Muromachi shogunate who conquered the barbarians has been placed in the capital, so Oda Nobunaga was not polite at all.
Xu Wei smiled without thinking too much. His first impression was that Oda Nobunaga was very arrogant and arrogant.
"Sit down." Xu Wei motioned for Oda Nobunaga to sit down. Without being too reserved, he took out the Ming Dynasty Overseas Treasure Notes and asked people to place them in front of Oda Nobunaga.
Xu Wei looked at the Yongle Tongbao family emblem on Oda Nobunaga's shoulders and said: "This is a treasure banknote. In the future, the Japanese country will use the treasure banknote."
"We, the Japanese country, have our own currency. , Don't worry about it." Oda Nobunaga did not open the box, he knew that there was treasure money inside, and he directly expressed his objection.
"Are these? The Yongle Tongbao forged by the Lord of Overlord. Do you have the permission of my Ming Dynasty to cast the Tongbao of my Ming Dynasty?" Xu Wei shook his sleeves, threw out a dozen copper coins, and threw them to the weaving In front of Tian Nobunaga, he sneered and said: "This money, in my Ming Dynasty, is not even as good as flying money."
It wasn't Xu Wei who humiliated him, Oda Nobunaga privately cast the Ming Dynasty Yongle Tongbao as currency, and cast The craftsmanship of the money is extremely poor. The sky is round and the place is square, neither round nor square, and it is two sizes smaller than the Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty. Yongle Tongbao is made of red copper plus tin and zinc, while the money cast by Oda Nobunaga is bronze. Not bad enough.
The mother coins of the Ming Dynasty often repaired the characters in order to make the characters clearer. However, the "Yongle Tongbao" cast by the Japanese country lacked the steps to repair the characters, and even the characters could not be read clearly.
With this kind of money, how dare you bear the word "Yongle"?
