Chapter 503: Inexhaustible Songjiang Cloth to Buy, Inexhaustible Weitang Yarn
Zhu Yijun once again adopted the conservative idea of waiting until the Ten Kings City was built, because the Ming Dynasty vassals were quite noisy. At the beginning of the period of peace and stability in the early years of the country, with the successful case of King Yan ascending the throne, there were always some vassal kings who thought they could do it and tried to replicate King Yan's feats.
Once the factor of vassal king is added to the process of resolving the contradiction between man and land, drastic changes occur, the process of the New Deal will be delayed, or even too much noise is made, and the resistance to the New Deal will suddenly increase. .
"We need to rush for time." Zhang Juzheng said with a frown: "We need to rush to build the Ten Kings City before anyone dares to take the lead."
"Now the army has just returned from a great victory, and it is shocking The young people in the world must build the Ten Kings City during this period. As long as they can complete the withdrawal of the feudal vassal before someone dares to make a big fuss, it will not make the matter more complicated and difficult to end. "< br>
Time, we must seize the time difference, otherwise, when the time comes, the feudal king will use the banner of the Qingjun side, which will be a big trouble.
“Leave this matter to me.” Wang Chonggu looked at everyone and said calmly: “I still have the confidence to build this area.”
Wang Chonggu’s words revealed There is a feeling of no one else except me, a disdainful feeling that I have finished speaking, and everyone here is rubbish when it comes to creating this matter.
On the creation front, Wang Chonggu dared to pat his chest and said that even Zhang Juzheng was no match.
You know, when Wang Chonggu built the central axis of the palace, it was a matter of life and death!
At that time, when His Majesty was receiving the foreign envoys on the foundation of Huangji Hall, Wang Chonggu was really racing against time. Even though the emperor repeatedly proposed to lower the construction standards and increase the speed, Wang Chonggu completed the palace with high quality and quantity. The tripod construction of the central axis.
If you build too slowly, your life will be lost.
Not even Wang Daokun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has experience in this area. After all, the experience of rebelling against thieves is too precious. Generally, rebels will either succeed or die. Wang Chonggu can survive under the premise of failure. , up to now, there are only a few people in history who can still be so active in the political arena, become a second assistant, and become the pillar of the country, let alone the Ming Dynasty.
The courtiers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all decided to build the city of the ten kings and hand it over to King Jingbangji's second assistant to preside over it.
Suitable, couldn't be more suitable.
“Your Majesty, with the quality of the original construction of Huangjimen, Three Main Halls, Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, it will be completed before the end of this year. The vassal kings who are far away can order to move to Beijing. After a while, I will be able to live in a new home when I arrive in the capital." Wang Chonggu said, bowing to His Majesty on the platform.
"At the end of the year, isn't it too early? Although the Ten Kings City is called the Ten Kings City, just the migration of princes and princes from Henan Province to Beijing is also an extremely large scale." Zhu Yijun frowned Wrinkled, I decided to give it a few days.
Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "It's just a bunch of lime pillars. If we weren't in a hurry for the interior decoration, half a year would have been plenty. Your Majesty, things are no longer what they used to be."
Preliminary preparations It had been completed before the army's triumphant return, and now it was time to break ground.
When Wang Chonggu was building the central axis of the palace, he had nothing but money. He still rushed to complete the construction three months before the emperor's wedding, even though the emperor stayed there for one day just before the wedding. , moved back to Xiyuan, but the palace construction was completed as scheduled, saving the lives of the whole family.
But now, the production of cement and steel bars in Daming has been greatly increased. Wang Chonggu has already exceeded the project expectations for the construction of large quantities of the same specifications. In half a year, it is more than enough. The building with a total of less than three floors has really little technical content.
"The construction cost should be funded by internal funds." Zhu Yijun thought about it for a while and announced.
With internal funds, the money will be received quickly, and even if there are some quality defects, the emperor will not pursue them, and the vassal kings will not cause trouble.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Wang Cifu said that he wants 2.7 million silver, and the internal funds should temporarily allocate 3 million silver as a backup."
"I will live up to your majesty's trust." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said.
Wan Shihe bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have seen Wang Cifu's construction drawings. Is there anyone below the county king?"
"No." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said.
The location of the Ten Kings City is next to Beitucheng, a small city with an area of 20 miles. Only the county kings and above and below the county king were moved. In the first year of Wanli, they were left to fend for themselves. At that time, the Ming Dynasty and local finances could no longer afford it.
Wan Shihe looked at the courtiers and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to move together as one."
"Will you pay for it? That's nice to say, the court can afford to support so many people. Is that so?" Young Situ Zhang Xueyan became anxious upon hearing this.
The development of Suiyuan Chidao and Suiyuan Mining has made the wealthy national funds less wealthy. They have to make various changes, so that the 7.7 million silver deposits in the old treasury are not used. The construction of the Ten Kings City was fully borne by the internal funds. , as a result, the Ministry of Rites, which did not need to pay any money, actually had to move together.
It doesn’t hurt your back to stand and talk!
Wan Shihe said with a smile: "Look, you are in a hurry. Wait until I finish what I have to say." There are 21 people in the royal family, 187 people in Ningxia Weizhou Qingwang Palace, 1679 people in Pingliang Hanwang Palace, Shaanxi Ground, and 2894 people in the four royal vassals. "
"The three vassals of Jin, Dai and Shen in Shanxi have a total of 9802 people. There are 5,925 people from the five vassals of Zhou, Tang, Zhao, Zheng, and Chong, 1,414 from the five vassals of Chu, Xiang, Jing, Ji, and Rong in Huguang, 649 from the three vassals of Lu, Qingde, and Heng in Shandong, 182 from the King of Shu in Sichuan, and 182 from the King of Jingjiang in Guangxi. 816 people, including 81 King Huai of Raozhou and 33 people of King Jianchang Yi. "
"There are 24 princes, 16 landed princes, 88 landless princes, and 21,796 vassals. There are 62,732 registered vassals. "[Ming Dynasty Record, Xu Guangqi's "Disposal of Zonglu Check Border Rates"]
"A city surrounded by 20 miles can live in 60,000 people, even including relatives and long history. , servants are also a little sparse. "
Shandong Dingkou census, there are as many as 150,000 Dingkou in Jimo County, Shandong Province, that is, all registered sects and vassals were moved to Beijing, and the new ten The royal city is only about 150,000 in size.
"No, so few?" Young Situ took the memorial in Wan Shihe's hand, read it for a long time, and then started to circulate the memorial. Everyone was discussing in a low voice. After the discussion, their eyes were as if Youruowu looked at Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng was slightly embarrassed, because according to the compilation of old cases by the Ministry of Rites, during the Longqing period, there were still more than 103,000 registered vassals. After passing the exam, the number of registered sects and vassals began to decrease sharply. By the tenth year of Wanli, there were only 60,000 left. If this continues, it may be halved in less than ten years.
Later history books concluded that Zhang Juzheng would inevitably be scolded as the number of clan vassals dropped sharply, and he could not escape the charge of harshly criticizing the clan.
"I am guilty." After reading the memorial, Zhang Juzheng had to stand up, waved his sleeves, bowed five times and kowtowed three times, and said in a submissive voice.
"I will pardon you, sir, for not being guilty." Zhu Yijun said very confidently: "At that time, the country suffered a huge financial loss, and sir was running out of ideas to deal with it. I saw it in my eyes. The late emperor's mausoleum, the five One hundred thousand silver is still owed 110,000. We cannot criticize Mr. Mr. for his hard work for the country today because of the daily surplus. "
"Please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a while, then bowed solemnly, and said loudly: "I thank Tianen."
The biggest victim is His Majesty. No matter how much you care, everything has been done and you can only let others say it.
"Are you harsh on the clan? In the first year of Wanli, 1 million silver of gold flowers and silver in the palace arrived in the treasury for the first time. In the third year of Wanli, it rose to 1.2 million silver. This was true even for the clan, let alone the clan. "After Zhu Yijun waited for Zhang Juzheng to get up, he looked at the court officials and said: "This court meeting has no impact. If word spreads, the world will be censured. Either I am covering up my mistakes for you, or you are holding both sides and watching the rat. Misfortune, this matter has stopped at the Wenhua Palace."
"Hard criticism? Where does the harsh blame come from? Don't you know that the clans in the world are tired and are recuperating in the Ten Kings City?"
"My lord? Wait for the order." The ministers said in unison.
The people in Zhongshushe have been pissed off since they discussed the clan. Just kidding, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. For example, a traitor like Wang Chonggu, he can get credit all because of rebelling. How does Zhongshu Sheren write about such things as experience? After writing a few sentences, Wang Chonggu became fierce, but Zhongshu Sheren could not stop him.
During the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli years, the emperor frequently asked for money from the state's funds. The reason behind this time and time again was that the gold and silver were never in full. The emperor's life was like this, and the lives of the clans all over the world were also difficult. Is it harsh? The Ming Dynasty is almost gone. It built an imperial mausoleum of 500,000 silver, but still owes 110,000. The huge financial loss has affected the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng is not a god who can create something out of nothing.
Stop at the Wenhua Hall, the court officials should not go outside and talk nonsense. Zhu Yijun will cause trouble for anyone who talks nonsense outside.
The Ming court wanted to compete with the local powerful and powerful people for speed. The speed of building the Ten King's City was faster than the growth rate of the powerful and powerful powerful and powerful people. Before the powerful and powerful powerful and powerful people could react, they would move the vassal kings to the capital. Once the implementation is in place, the first group will be the princes, the second group will be the county kings, and the third group will be the suffrage vassals. As for the registered vassals, it will also depend on the situation.
The matter of moving the feudal vassal was quickly agreed upon, starting from Guilin Prefecture, the farthest place, and then going to Guangzhou Prefecture and entering Beijing by water.
For the local area, moving the feudal vassal is a great good thing.
First of all, the vassal king’s salary does not have to be paid by the local government. As long as the examination results are included, the vassal and vassal salary is also a huge expense, and the presence of the vassal king will cause the issue of judicial privileges. Sometimes, the local government Some of the vicious cases have a close connection with the feudal prince's palace. If they are not investigated, the public will be excited, and the investigation will be related to the clan; the New Deal's Qingzhang, Census of Dingkou, etc. can also be implemented smoothly.
Finally, the place no longer needs to be caught between the imperial court and the vassal palace.
It is also a good thing for the feudal prince's palace. After all, it is really difficult to live without receiving salary.
“When Emperor Taizu Gao established the vassal state, the centrifugal force was too great. The Northern and Southern Song Dynasties perished one after another. Hu Yuan took control of the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the world’s cultural context was cut off. He could only establish vassal states to guard various places. Now After two hundred years of dynasty, we no longer had the worries we had at the beginning. On the contrary, the overseas governor's offices need to be guarded by building barriers. "Zhu Yijun expressed his intention to seal the vassal overseas for the first time in public, but this was just a hint, and it was still far away from concrete implementation. .
Zhongshu Sheren was called back by Xiao Huangmen, and Zhongshu Sheren continued to record with peace of mind. Obviously, the secret that could not be listened to was over.
"The Spanish envoy Solon said yesterday afternoon that he wanted to buy 1 million pieces of cotton. I wonder if the Ming Dynasty can supply it." The great uncle Wan Shihe talked about foreign affairs, and Gao Qiyu, the minister of Honglu Temple, reported it.
The previous minister of Honglu Temple, Chen Xuexue, has now been promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Qiyu is now the Shaoqing in charge of Honglu Temple affairs.
The reason why Gao Qiyu is so embarrassed is actually because Zhang Juzheng refused to promote Gao Qiyu. Even though he risked his life and went on a mission to the West, Zhang Juzheng still did not forgive Gao Qiyu. In response to the Tianfu Rural Examination "Shun The proposition of "Yi Yi Ming Yu" had such a bad influence that Zhu Yijun forced it on this Shaoqing.
In an era when the young master is suspicious of his country, his ministers are not loyal, his country has lost great trust, and people are suspicious, he made a mistake and risked his life to go to the West. The past is over, Zhu Yijun even Wang Chonggu could bear it.
But Zhu Yijun couldn't solve the knot in Zhang Juzheng's heart. "One million horses is good!" Zhu Yijun's eyes immediately lit up when he heard it and said: "Saulun is very wise at first sight. I know that he will make a wise choice. That's good."
In the Ming Dynasty, the best Songjiang cotton cloth in the Ming Dynasty cost one cent and five silvers per piece. Zhu Yijun quoted two silvers per piece. This kind of profit was a steal, but Sauron had to buy it. The advantage of the product was determined by the Ming Dynasty. Dead.
The people of the Ming Dynasty even had one pair of trousers per household, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually sold millions of pieces of cotton to foreign countries. The Ming Dynasty, which was changing rapidly, refused to wait for its people! This is not to prefer friendly countries to domestic slaves, but for the large inflow of silver and the rapid development and expansion of industry. Only scale can promote technological progress, and ultimately productivity will increase rapidly, benefiting everyone in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun is unwilling to sell woolen materials. No matter how greedy he is for money, he will not make any money. He always remembers that he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Even though the unit price and profit of wool seem to be higher, the Ming Dynasty's expansion into Suiyuan and Liaodong requires more wool to keep out the cold, and the scale of wool is more limited by the supply of raw materials. The scale has reached a bottleneck. With the scale of grassland captive breeding Expanding and expanding, the effect of exports in boosting scale is not obvious.
"Da Sikong, one million pieces of cotton, is there any problem?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Daokun.
Wang Daokun bowed his head and said: "Only the Songjiang Treasury and Shibo Treasury have more than 1.7 million pieces of cotton, the Suzhou Treasury has 1.04 million pieces of cotton, and Sauron wants one million pieces. Is it too little?" Wang Daokun looked around and said, "The entire Songjiang Prefecture's annual cotton production is about 15 million pieces. Your Majesty has cotton cloth everywhere, and there are looms in six out of ten rooms."
" There is endless Songjiang cloth to buy, and endless Wei Tang gauze to collect.”
Your Majesty is so black-hearted in doing business. He quoted two taels per piece, which is more domineering than those who blocked the road. Only Songjiang is bigger. The annual output of cloth (40-foot standard cloth) is about 7 million pieces, as well as 7 million pieces of Songjiang small cloth (32-foot narrow cloth) and more than 1 million pieces of floral cloth.
Your Majesty sells large cloth at one cent and five cents per piece, and he sells it for two silvers. Are there any businessmen in this world who are so black-hearted?
When Taixi's large sailing ship arrived at the port for trading, it entered the City of All Nations. Large transactions required His Majesty's hands. When Your Majesty peeled off Taixi and the barbarians, the knife was too sharp. Even the courtiers felt a little pity for Taixi. Fanyi.
"As long as it can be supplied." Zhu Yijun is very familiar with the productivity of the Ming Dynasty. He is very clear about the output of Dabu in Songjiang Prefecture. It is so expensive, so do you want it?
For the supply of one million pieces of cloth at a time, Sauron colluded with Tongfan's powerful people and did not have so much in stock, so he could only buy it from the emperor.
Solan can take his time to collect the goods, but Ji Feng will not wait for him to slowly collect them all.
"English envoy George hopes to buy a five-masted ocean crossing ship from the Ming Dynasty to fight against Spain's invasion of England." Wan Shihe talked about another envoy's request to buy a ship, a five-masted ocean crossing ship.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe and asked: "What does the Ministry of Rites think?"
"Not for sale." Wan Shihe said with great conviction: "It is better not to sell England, Golden Retriever Fan The privateering license will destroy the maritime trade. If it is sold to the Golden Retriever, the consequences will be endless. "
The Queen of England issued the privateering license, turning the already extremely risky maritime trade into chaos and evil. This makes the Ministry of Rites, which advocates lawfulness, very disgusted. Selling a sharp weapon like a five-masted sailboat to the British would be worse than rotting in the shipyard.
The Ming Dynasty has an extremely strong demand for five-masted transoceanic ships. Up to now, it can only obtain dividend rights through Yanxinglou Trading House. England does not deserve five-masted transoceanic ships.
"I'm afraid there will be a sea disaster." Grand Sima Zeng Xingwu kept his words concise and to the point, which was also the opinion of the Ministry of War.
In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, England's ecological niche in Europe and the West is exactly the same as that of Japanese pirates. England is not as good as Japan. At least Oda Nobunaga did not give an order. Robbery is legal and robbery is justified. Oda Nobunaga performed an official duty in Japan. The two people hoped to establish a new order and stabilize the common people, which could indirectly reduce the ravages of Japanese pirates, while England was encouraging pirates to plunder.
Wang Chonggu thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the main production capacity of ocean-going ships is limited, and orders have been queued up to the twelfth year of Wanli."
"What do you mean, sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng asked.
Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and said: "I think it is better not to sell it. Although silver is just silver and there is no such thing as justice or evil, Jinmaofan's silver is somewhat dirty."
This is a very subjective statement with strong personal emotions. The reason why Zhang Juzheng opposed selling to England's ocean-going ships was that he did not like the way England did things.
"Then we won't sell it. After all, we are not a friendly country." Zhu Yijun synthesized the opinions of the courtiers. The courtiers all objected. There is no need to worry about sales orders for the five-masted ocean-going ship, so why bother with Felipe II? , Antonio is resentful towards Ming?
The Ming Dynasty’s foreign policy has a clear diplomatic hierarchy. It canonize vassal countries, tributary countries, send envoys to establish diplomatic relations, have no contact with each other, and be hostile. The Ming Dynasty will not even send envoys specifically to England. It falls between sending envoys to establish diplomatic relations. There may even be conflicts of interest between those who are not in contact with others.
The Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire knew each other and did not interact with each other. Only vassal states and tributary states were considered friends.
Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes and looked at Wan Shihe, his eyes flashing with excitement as he said: "The Ministry of Rites asked George if he wanted to buy some cotton cloth? If he doesn't buy it, Felipe II will. Can England withstand the dumping of cotton? "
"Of course, England can ban the entry of cotton, but Spain has an invincible fleet. Even if Felipe II does not use the fleet to knock on the door, Smuggling ships will also bring these cotton cloths to England, and there are merchants from Scotland and Ireland to help.”
England simply cannot ban cotton cloth from entering the country. It does not have the administrative power to do this. To ban a certain commodity, what is needed is a huge navy, coastal defense inspection departments all over the coastline, tens of thousands of waves, a complete tax collection office, clear and bright officials, and valuable centripetal force. In short, it requires A great country.
The Ming Dynasty owned most of them, and even then, there were various smuggling ships.
Wan Shihe had a question sincerely in his heart. He had watched His Majesty grow up. His Majesty had lived frugally since childhood, but had never been short of money. Why was he so interested in money? Wan Shihe can see that His Majesty really likes silver. He really does. Can the Ming Emperor, the majestic Emperor of all directions and the common ruler of the world, restrain himself a little bit?
"Uncle Zong?" Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully.
"I obey the order." Wan Shihe obeyed his leader's orders.
The foreign affairs department of Honglu Temple, where the empire's external face is, has almost become a place for business discussions. It is full of the smell of copper. It is a curse to abandon Confucianism and engage in business...
"Holy Ferdinand, the special envoy of the Roman Empire, requested to see His Majesty and present the Roman Emperor's credentials." Wan Shihe frowned and said, "This name sounds quite deceptive at first, but upon closer inspection, it is neither sacred nor Roman. Not even an empire. "
"In the third year of Jingtai (1452), Frederick III was the last Holy Roman Emperor to be crowned by the Holy See. After that, there was no Holy Roman Emperor to be crowned. "
The sacredness of Taixi is different from that of Ming Dynasty.
The sacredness of the Ming Dynasty is: all the emperor's edicts carry the mandate of heaven and respond to the people. He is the only one who has God's say in the world. Sometimes, even if God does not allow you to do things, manpower must overcome God. According to the Ming Dynasty's definition of sanctity, Emperor Shenluo has no sanctity, and Taixi's sanctity is to go to the Holy See for coronation, but after Frederick III, he never went there again.
“If it is not holy, then it is not Roman. The Minister of Honglu Temple communicated with Ferdinand. Through the translation of Thai and Western documents, etc., it can be said very clearly that there is no clear legal inheritance between the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern and Western Romans. Relationship, at least the current HRE Emperor Rudolf II is a German."
"The Celts, Slavs, and Germans were clearly barbarians when Rome was still there..."
This is. According to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, this is simply the barbarians rebelling against Tiangang! How dare you call it the Roman Empire?
"As for the empire, it doesn't even look like it. After all, there are seven electors, and it's nothing like an empire. Even Spain is more qualified to be called an empire than it is." Wan Shihe looked at this god more and more Luo, the more it resembles the enfeoffment system at the time of Emperor Zhou. After all, the throne is now controlled by the Habsburg family. It is still hereditary and irreplaceable. Counting further forward, it is even more fragmented.
"There is no contact value." Wan Shihe said in conclusion. He did not think that any consensus reached between His Majesty and Ferdinand was effective.
I guess this Ferdinand is the kind of person who likes to join in the fun. I heard that they are all sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty, so he just comes to join in the fun.
Cardinal, the Ming Emperor has decreed no contact, so there is no need to say anything. The Ming Emperor only has two words "forbidden" on missionary matters. This is not because Zhu Yijun is not open and tolerant, but these Missionaries are all spies. Not only collecting information about the Ming Dynasty, but also easily causing evil spirits to gather and cause chaos among the people.
Zhu Yijun is very cautious about religion. He clearly remembers that Wang Xijue’s daughter united with others, opened the uterus to remove the fetus, and used umbilical cord blood to nourish her face and seek immortality. Every time she heard about it, she felt human. The gap between evil and evil will never reach Yanxinglou Trading House. These evil cultists are not human beings at all.
"Where is the special envoy from France?" Zhu Yijun asked. Wan Shihe talked for a while without mentioning the demands of the French envoy.
Wan Shihe looked left and right, reluctantly took out a memorial, looked at everyone and said: "The French envoy is the daughter of the Queen Mother, and she requested... a marriage."
The Wenhua Palace was extremely quiet, with only the sound of the curtain rolling. Time seemed to have stopped. The faces of the courtiers were full of surprise, and they looked at Wan Shihe blankly.
Wan Shihe's face turned red when he saw it. He slammed the table and stood up suddenly, saying loudly: "Look at what I do, it's not my initiative! This woman took out the Queen Mother Catherine’s credentials are said to be the orders given to her by the Queen Mother. It’s not me who is crazy! Look what I’m doing!”
I can’t be the Minister of Etiquette!
Honglu Temple is just doing business. After all, for the transformation of the small peasant economy and the inflow of silver, can these foreign envoys have some sense of themselves? ! A small foreign country actually talks about marriage in the Celestial Kingdom?
Wan Shihe just wanted to hit the French envoy on the head with an inkstone and yell: Lian Ni Ma!
The ceremonial officers did not do anything because they were also very shocked. After participating in court meetings every day, the ceremonial officers have long been accustomed to various things, but today's matter is really true. I've never seen it...
"Uncle Zong, please be patient and don't be impatient." Feng Bao quickly persuaded Wan Shihe to calm down.
Wan Shihe said desperately: "If the Queen Mother finds out about this, I will stop being a great uncle."
Wan Shihe's scalp went numb when he thought of Queen Mother Li going crazy. The younger son got a beauty from all over the world, and played a ridiculous trick of fifteen people sleeping with him. Empress Dowager Li almost smashed the Buddha statue worshiping the Buddha. If Your Majesty also has a beauty from all over the world in the harem, Empress Dowager Li will probably have to leave Tonghe. The palace rushed out and killed Wan Shihe.
"Haha!" Zhu Yijun finally laughed out. The courtiers were holding it in very hard. Your Majesty laughed out loud, and the courtiers stopped holding it in and started laughing.
Zhu Yijun finally suppressed his laughter and said: "The work of the Ministry of Rites is not easy to do. If your mother asks, I will explain it to you. Don't worry about it."
After the test. If it couldn't be done, the process started. It seems that the Queen Mother of France gave the death order to the special envoy Gillian and asked her to use all means. This shows how chaotic the situation in France is. In order to save the nation, Queen Mother Catherine really I tried my best, but this kind of thing cannot be solved by trying my best.
"Okay, okay, let's ask the French envoy if he wants to buy cotton cloth. Let's stop here today. Sir, please stay for a while." Zhu Yijun saw that the courtiers had nothing to do, so he ordered the meeting to be dismissed. Zhang Juzheng was left alone.
When all the courtiers left, Zhu Yijun said: "Sir, don't worry about the vassal affairs. The Ming Dynasty really had no choice at that time."
The purpose of keeping Zhang Juzheng was specifically to appease Zhang Juzheng regarding the vassal affairs, so don't pay too much attention to him.
