Chapter 441 Chenghua 4 Years
Probably the customs officer saw their thoughts, so he smiled and said: "This is an excellent material, but it is a pity that the output is uncertain throughout the year. When it is good, it can produce ten or eight horses. When it’s good, none of it can be woven.” He said it sincerely, and incidentally explained the reason why this thing didn’t become a tribute.
After all, variable output is a big disadvantage, because once the higher-ups ask for something, if you don’t have anything here, or if you don’t have enough, that’s a big sin.
Wu Youwei whispered to the little prince, but the little prince soon understood: "Then let... grandma buy this horse."
This piece of material is purple woven with golden glittering satin, which is very gorgeous and brilliant.
But then the little prince picked out another piece of thick silk with a pattern of red peony flowers, which was a gift for the queen.
But what he bought for Concubine Wan Gui was a piece of Songjiang cloth with autumn fragrance color and leaf pattern.
For Emperor Xianzong, he chose a piece of triangular cloth with the original color of auspicious cloud pattern, because he could not buy bright yellow cloth outside, so he had to buy a piece of primary color triangular cloth for Emperor Xianzong that could be worn as an inner garment.
However, the little prince also bought a piece of smoky gray brocade for Wanxi, a piece of scarlet silk silk for Mrs. Wanxi, a piece of stone blue cotton material for Wantong, and a piece of cotton material for Wu Youwei. A sky blue silk.
On the contrary, it covered everything, and it was spent on the little prince's own private money.
Well, when the little prince was staying in the East Palace, Concubine Wan Gui had already moved all the lucky money and gifts he had received since he was a child, and even gave him a lot of pocket money. Of course, most of them were handed over. It was given to the chief eunuch and the nanny.But when he learned that the little prince was going out to "experience the people's sentiments", the chief eunuch wanted to follow, but failed, so he exchanged a lot of copper coins and silver coins for him.
Of course, there are ten more than one hundred taels of silver bills.
in case the emergency.
The little prince spends money to buy things, expensive ones and cheap ones, as long as he has never seen them before, he wants to buy them back, not only for himself to see, but also for his mother, concubine, sisters and brothers to see.
I never knew that there are homespun cloth in this world, such a thick cloth; and such beautiful satin.
After saying goodbye to the customs officer, I went out and went to the next one, which was a fishing shop in the south.
The so-called fishery products are seafood from the south, such as dried kelp, dried seaweed, dried seaweed and other dried seafood; dried salted fish, shredded squid, scallops, dried vegetables and other dried seafood; as well as fish sauce, shrimp sauce, and crab sauce. etc.
The little prince may not have eaten these things, but he must have never seen them!
There was a sea smell, fish smell, and various smells mixed together. As soon as the little prince entered, his eyes widened. This place smells so bad, is there anyone here to buy things?
Wu Youwei saw many pickles produced by several pickle factories in Shanghai.
Among them, the shrimp paste produced by a Xu's pickle factory is the most delicious, because it has chili peppers in it, which has a little spicy taste, and a lot of ginger powder is put in it, so it has no fishy smell.
Wu Youwei introduced it to the little prince, but the little prince thought it might not be very tasty, but the husband said it, so he "reluctantly" bought two cans of Xudi shrimp paste.
The neighborhood here is full of places for buying and selling daily necessities. After buying some things, the little prince lost interest in visiting. The other one is a place for buying and selling pastries.
Wu Youwei didn't dare to let the little prince eat anything he had imported. Wantong checked it out, and he even ate three yuan of the honey trough cake that the little prince liked before he allowed the little prince to buy some back.
In fact, this kind of pastry is delicious when it is freshly baked, but it is just like that when it is cold.
Instead, there is a snack shop next to it, which sells Roujiamo and Roujiamo with cured sauce. The little prince was greedy, so Wu Youwei hurriedly said: "Let's go to lunch, sir, how about taking you to eat hot pot? Tokugawa hot pot The hot pot at the barbecue shop is a must.” Although peppers are everywhere and tomatoes are grown everywhere, there are only a few pickle factories that can make tomato sauce.
Because there is no lack of chili in hot pot, the taste is similar.
But at the very beginning, Tokugawa Hot Pot Yakiniku Restaurant took the lead.
People are used to their tastes, and they will feel awkward if they change one, and some tastes are too spicy, and the guests may not like the more and more spicy tastes, and some people can't eat chili, and they will get sick after eating up.
Therefore, although the Tokugawa hot pot and barbecue restaurant has been hit, it has not lost many customers.
In addition, their service is very good. After customers have been to other places, they will still feel that Tokugawa is better. Therefore, more customers come back than lose.
And it was Wu Youwei's territory, he could receive the little prince with peace of mind.
"Okay!" The little prince obediently followed into the carriage.
The Tokugawa Hot Pot Barbecue Restaurant is still very prosperous in winter, but because there are no customers at the time of dinner, it is preparing for the opening.
The shopkeeper doesn't know the little prince, but he knows Wantong and Wu Youwei!
Seeing them coming, he directly invited them to a separate courtyard in the backyard, served them hot pot as before, and the Jin Yiwei who came with them also took their seats in the room.
The little prince had eaten hot pot, but it was always a single pot. Even if he used hot pot with Emperor Xianzong in Zhaode Palace, it would still be a small pot for each person.
Here are the six of them sitting at a big table, including three Jin Yiwei in casual clothes.
The table was full of shabu-shabu, the little prince was dazzled by seeing it, Wu Youwei also shabu-fried for him, the child is still young and can't eat spicy food, so I can only give him some clear soup, but even so, the little prince can't eat it. I was sweating, because it was the first time so many people ate hot pot together, it was very lively, and the little prince was very happy to eat.
After eating and sweating off, they took the little prince into the carriage and walked into the palace. Their carriage entered the gate of the palace, and the house arrest outside was lifted.
Each family sent messages to their master respectively, and the matter of the little prince leaving the palace was also close to the truth under the guesswork of interested people.
In the twelfth lunar month, seal the pen and prepare for the New Year.
After the young year, Wu Youwei no longer entered the palace to give lessons to His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince could only study by himself in the palace, doing the winter homework left by Wu Youwei.
This year, Zhejiang, Shandong, Henan, Jiangxi, and Fujian were exempted from taxation and grain.
Annan, Ryukyu, Uzbek, Siam, and Japan paid tribute.
Mandulu and Garthlan each sent envoys to pay horses.
When other people come, Wu Youwei will not pay attention, but when Japan comes, Wu Youwei will pay attention.
"What are they here for?" Wu Youwei frowned. During the Chenghua period, Japan came to pay tribute? ?
Their own troubles are enough.
"I don't know." Wantong frowned: "Wang Zhiwai had a lot of trouble in the south. He didn't go out to sea after he arrived last year, but in autumn, he took people out to sea. Although the loot was rich, he caught more people and sent them to the sea. Mining started."
It is said that there are many Japanese people, but I don't know if it is true or not.
Moreover, many small countries in the south have been intimidated by Wang Zhi's troops. He is bolder than Wantong, because Wantong is a foreign minister, but he is an internal minister!
As soon as he put on the eunuch's costume, he stood on the bow of the boat, making those people think that they saw the Qibao eunuch from the Yongle period again sailing to the west.
That majestic momentum, that huge treasure ship.
The shock is not ordinary, especially Annan, Li Shi, as the king, came out to meet Wang Zhi on purpose!
Wu Youwei was dumbfounded: "Why don't I know?"
"When the news came, you took the little prince to rummage through boxes and cabinets!" Wantong laughed: "Actually, Wang Zhi is very caring. He was too busy when he came back. He didn't send the memorial with the spoils until he left. When I came back, I didn’t travel [-] miles to rush. Those who arrived with the memorial are all in the twelfth lunar month
And the loot came together with the memorial, no matter how dissatisfied the courtiers were, the emperor got so much money, of course...he had to protect his own people.
Wang Zhi grasped this point, he bet on the emperor's protection of him.
Turns out he was right.
Although the courtiers didn't know what Wang Zhi did in the south, they saw a lot of things that Ming didn't have in the spoils he sent back. They guessed that this guy might have robbed the coastal states, or went there to blackmail?Solicit bribes?Or just force it directly?
It's just because there is no specific news, so I can only participate in his "lied military information" or something, but these are all nonsense, and the emperor simply ignores them.
Suddenly I heard that Annan, Ryukyu, Siam and Japan all came to pay tribute along the coast, which made people have to pay attention.
Not only the courtiers paid attention, even Emperor Xianzong was surprised when he saw the list of vassal countries that paid tribute: "Japan? Japan?"
"Yes, Japan." The humanity of Honglu Temple said: "They hold credentials."
I don’t usually see Siam coming over, and Japan, how many years have there been no visitors?
It came suddenly, or after the handover of the navy, what did Wang Zhi...do?Let people from Japan come?
And Wu Youwei said to Wan Tongdao: "Japan is now in troubled times. Although their Yingren Rebellion has ended, they have begun their Warring States era. How could they send people to Daming?"
"The Rebellion of Yingren?" Wantong asked him, "What's going on?"
The Onin Rebellion was a civil strife between the feudal lords of the Muromachi shogunate in Japan in 1467...1477. During the tenure of the Eighth Shogun Ashikaga Yoshizawa, the shogunate Katsumoto Hosokawa and Yamana Mochitaka were the guardians of the daimyo. There was a fight between.
The Onin Rebellion started the Warring States Period in Japan.
After the war, the power of the shogun, the guardian daimyo and the nobles of the manor lords became weaker, and Japanese history entered the new Warring States era in which the daimyos fought each other.
This period was very chaotic, the Japanese royal family was weak and had no sense of existence, and the big and small names from all over the country were in a mess. How could it be possible to come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute?
"I'll go to Honglu Temple to ask." Wantong narrowed his eyes: "Who is here? M
Wu Youwei remembered that many daimyos in history sent people to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute and trade in the name of "King of Japan", so he suspected that someone was counterfeiting, and most of the daimyos in Japan were frankly pirates!
Wantong couldn't sit still when he heard it.
He went to Honglu Temple and came back only one day. The first thing he said when he saw Wu Youwei was: "The person who came here called himself Yamanashi. He is the guardian daimyo of the Japanese royal family. He is the same ancestor as Qinghe Genji. He holds the Japanese national certificate and embassy." The official seal is said to be an envoy personally authorized by the Japanese king Ashikaga Yoshinaka." "Ashikaga Yoshinaka?" Wu Youwei snorted coldly: "The Japanese royal family does not have a name, and Japan is not a royal family, but an imperial family. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was only called the Son of Heaven, how dare he call himself the Emperor of a mere country, or a dependent country? How shameless is it?"
Wu Youwei just remembered that in April this year, Ashikaga Yoshikyo began to build the Guanyin Hall of Cizhao Temple in Dongshan, which was later known as the Ginkakuji Temple.
Because in later generations, it was renamed Cizhao Temple, which is a national treasure building left over from the Muromachi period in Japan.
It is said that it is located in Sakyo District, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, and belongs to the Xiangguo Temple School of Rinzai Zong, which represents Higashiyama culture.
Their headmaster once traveled there. At that time, he thought, what kind of temple sect is there in a place with a bigger fart?
"Huh?" Wantong didn't expect to say such a thing, and he was also angry. Also, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is also the "Son of Heaven", so he dared to call himself the "Emperor"!
This is disrespectful!
If no one said it, they might not pay attention. If someone said it, then it would be wrong.
So Wantong went out overnight, but unfortunately, the court had already sealed the pen, but at the New Year's greetings, someone made trouble.
The Japanese envoys paid tribute to [-] bolts of Japanese satin, [-] pieces of gold lacquer objects, and [-] elegant folding fans.
That's the whole tribute.
At that time Wu Youwei was standing there, looking at those things, he was so angry that he was so angry, how could such a little thing be sent to beggars?
Who knew that guy with a half moon, a piece of □, said in awkward Chinese: "The king of Japan, Ashikaga Yoshinaka, paid tribute, and wrote a letter to the Son of Heaven..."
