Chapter 487 Coastal Situation and Coastal Defense
But Emperor Xianzong still remembered one thing: "But that day, you made the Taihu Stone disappear!"
"Your Majesty, the subject is actually guilty." Wu Youwei twitched the corners of his mouth, knowing that he would notice this, so he had done his homework a long time ago: "My subject...that day was to deceive the emperor, and the subject did not even The Taihu stone has not changed."
"Ah?" Emperor Xianzong was confused: "But I... clearly saw it with my own eyes...."
"Your Majesty, this is the wonder of the trick." Wu Youwei said, "It's like the fairy buckle just now. Didn't you fasten it by yourself? But when you pull it, it opens by itself?"
Emperor Xianzong nodded, that is indeed the case.
"Also, in fact, large-scale magic tricks need some props, otherwise, I wouldn't prepare them first, and then let you and His Highness watch, figure out, and decipher them. Instead, you can just reach out, why bother?" Wu Youwei laughed. : "Actually, it's all because it's all man-made. Where is the lower realm of the gods of great virtue? The world and the sky are separated, just like the story of Nanke Yimeng. In the eyes of the gods, our world is like a nest of ants. Can it be the same as ants? Similarly, ants may look at us humans as if they look at gods, and we are all different in size and species..."
Wu Youwei tried his best to explain clearly, but the two generations of emperors should not be superstitious!
Then I deciphered some seemingly normal tricks, but in fact they were all deceitful, with artificial traces in them, especially the "Idol Grows Taller" spell, which took several days, and every day the idol could grow taller. To grow taller, His Royal Highness is very obsessed with this, every day at noon, before taking a nap, he would measure it with a small ruler, and found that it was exactly as Mr. said, and it was all because of the soybeans placed underneath.
So much so that after Wu Youwei got out of class, he ate a royal meal, and when he returned home, all kinds of rewards arrived.
There are also some high-end handicrafts from the Ming Dynasty, which Wu Youwei quite likes.
Because of the strong wind and rain in July, the news from the south will inevitably be late. The court doesn't know what's going on there, but Wan'an has been demoted. Don't you like Buddhism and Taoism?Taichang Temple is in charge of these things, and in the future, the master record book and filing of monks and Taoists registered in the register will be under his control.
After all, it is his "sexual friend", and Wantong really has no selfish intentions, he just showed the emperor the original confession for a review.
In fact, if he didn't give it, Emperor Xianzong also knew about Wan'an.
He didn't say it, but he still believed that Wantong would not hide it from him.
As a result, Wantong was really interesting and did not hide anything.
But Wan'an will have no good fruit in the future. The Wan's family has raided the house, and a lot of money has been confiscated. Seriously, all the work in the house is done by the eighteen concubines!
Washing and cooking, washing rice and chopping firewood, whatever, there are eighteen little fairies for her to torture.
Wu Youwei listened to it as gossip, and Wantong didn't want him to get in touch with some dark things, so he deliberately told him some interesting stories.
It was enough for him to see the dark side of the world in Jin Yiwei's imperial prison, so it's better to be happy at home.
As for Zhong Youzi and others, they were all pushed out of Caishikou.
I heard that there are also rich and powerful gentry in the south who are looking for doctors to see a doctor. They are all people who have "tasted" the alchemy of loyal wanderers.
After Wu Youwei heard about it, he gloated and said, "It was fun back then, and the crematorium afterwards!"
Wantong was drinking tea at the time, and immediately sprayed: "You!"
This matter has been lively until August [-]th.
It is normal to give each other gifts, but this time the palace has received a lot of rewards. Wu Youwei is actively saving his family fortune and plans to donate it all later.
Autumn and August Xinyou, apply for the order of pity for the lonely and old.
Emperor Xianzong believed that he was the Son of Heaven, and would return to the throne after death. He would go to heaven to become Ziwei Xingjun, so he would do good deeds in the mortal world, be admired by all people, and his merits and virtues will last forever after death.
So, he stopped being superstitious about those Buddhist teachings, and changed to being a good person and doing good deeds.
What is the exemption of money, food and taxes?
He also has to pity the poor and the weak, and take care of the lonely and the elderly.
"Is this running towards the eternal goal?" Wu Youwei took a sip of tea and understood some of the emperor's recent developments very well. He let himself go without worrying about his death.
"When the emperor has everything, he can only ask for a posthumous name. At the time of the first emperor...it was too chaotic. The emperor managed to make things right, so he should leave his name in history." Li Dongyang took a bite Flower cake: "By the way, that nephew of yours is quite capable? What kind of flower cakes were made in Yunnan, which are quite popular. I heard that they also made some perfumes? Anyway, they are all related to flowers, so it doesn't delay farming. Now The people over there call him Master Hua, "
"What?" Wu Youwei was angry: "Changed my eldest nephew's surname? My second brother is just such a son!"
"They said he was just playing tricks on Huaerduoer, so calling him Mr. Hua is not because he changed his surname." Liu Daxia laughed loudly: "Your uncle is almost as good as his father."
"He has lost his father since he was a child, so I can't care about it." Wu Youwei said, "It's fine if you don't change your surname. He can benefit the common people over there, and it's not in vain that I spent half a month writing the plan."
The reason for them this time is that just after the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month, the focus of the government has shifted from Buddhism and Taoism to the autumn harvest. Food is the foundation, and the autumn harvest is a critical time for the world.
And these people rarely had a chance to rest, so they got together and had a small gathering at Pinyuan Tea House.
A few people talked about the matter of Buddhism and Taoism. By the way, let’s talk about the general trend of the world. Yunnan has been very active recently, and the people in the north have not been too shy. Recently, they even eat a lot more beef and mutton, especially Farm cattle in Daming cannot be slaughtered at will, but there are so many beef cattle on the grasslands!
Recently, I even bought a lot of beef for myself, and I plan to make beef jerky.
They chatted here for a whole day, and went to the Overseas Building to eat at night, because many overseas dishes are blooming everywhere, and there are also many restaurants that make their dishes, but the Overseas Building still welcomes guests as always The door, this is the advantage of the old store.
Wu Xiao was not here, but the shopkeeper knew their VIP membership cards, and let them go to the private room and served a table of delicious dishes.
Wu Youwei pointed to a large bowl of dishes: "This is my favorite!"
"Yeah, we also like to eat." Li Dongyang put one in his mouth unceremoniously: "Didn't you come up with this thing? What's it called?"
"Harvest!" Wu Youwei hurried forward to grab a piece of pork ribs to eat.
This dish is actually a good thing. Corn, pumpkin, potatoes, pork ribs and beans are stewed together, which is called a great harvest.
Because there are too many things, this dish is served in a large enamel basin, which is particularly shocking.
But it is delicious and has a good meaning. Now it has been listed as one of the imperial meals. It is said that this is the only food eaten in the palace these days.
Wu Youwei returned home with a full belch, and asked Wanfu, saying that Wantong hadn't come back. Wu Youwei asked, "Did you send the food?"
Although the food at Jinyiwei is not bad, but after all, it is not as good as the ones made at home. There are many samples and the taste is good.
"It has already been sent. My lord has sent a message to let you rest early." Wanfu steward said: "Don't wait for him, because I don't know when it will be finished."
"Okay then." Wu Youwei thought for a while, "Let the kitchen boil a pot of bone soup, and cook some small wontons tomorrow morning."
He has ready-made ones in his space, so he doesn't need to prepare supper at night.
"Yes, it's still stuffed with fresh shrimp and meat?" Wanfu steward said, "The back kitchen also bought fresh black fish today, don't you want to eat raw fish?"
"No, let's change it to... black fish soup!" Wu Youwei said, "It's autumn harvest recently, be careful not to drink unboiled water, so as not to get autumn dysentery."
Spring and Autumn should prevent people from having bad stomachs.
Raw food... Let’s avoid it, they’re fine if they eat it, but they’re afraid that other people will be greedy too, if they eat raw food, it’ll be bad if they get upset.
"Yes, by the way, there are also some fat rabbits brought back by adults." Wanfu steward asked: "How do you want to eat?"
"Make a spicy rabbit head?" Wu Youwei said: "Let's make the rest rabbit meat with smoked sauce. When the time comes, I'll bring two for adults to drink."
Is this for hunting?Or did you just call back when you were away on an errand?
After Wu Youwei settled down, he didn't read books at home, but experienced the fun of "knocking chess pieces and dropping lanterns". After playing for half a night, he washed up and went to sleep.
Wantong came back in the middle of the night, without alarming others, Wu Youwei woke up when he heard the noise, just in time he changed his clothes and went into the bedroom.
"Are you hungry?" Wu Youwei rubbed his eyes, coming back so late, he was still feeling cold.
"A little bit." Wantong moved a small kang table and put it on the kang.
Wu Youwei quickly took out small wontons, braised beef, salted peanuts and other snacks from the space.
Wantong cheerfully picked up the bowl and started to eat: "I knew you had stock here."
Wu Youwei also brought a bowl to eat: "Anyway, I'm hungry too, so I just happen to have some with you."
"I have some things to deal with today, and I'm late." Wan Tao said, "But you should be careful these days, I'm afraid someone will look for you."
"Looking for me?" Wu Youwei took a sip of soup: "Who is it?"
"You will know when the time comes." Wantong thought of something and wanted to have fun.
After Wu Youwei finished eating a bowl of small wontons, he wiped his mouth, put the things away and put them away, then went to wash up, didn't take it seriously, and rested with Wantong.
The next day, Wantong didn't come back at night, but that night, Babaili sent an urgent report to Beijing from the seaside.
The next morning, Wu Youwei didn't go. He didn't want to get up so early every day, sleep until he woke up naturally, and then eat his beloved little wonton.
When Wantong came back that day, he brought him shocking news: "The ruler of Japan died of a serious illness; Prince Katsuhito ascended the throne, and the title of emperor was abolished from then on to show respect for the suzerain of the Ming Dynasty, and he was changed to the king of Japan. , the royal family, changed to the royal family, and the title is Empress Baiyuan Wang."
"Ah?" Wu Youwei was confused: "Became a king? Not the emperor?"
"If he dares to call himself the Emperor, he really deserves to die." Wan Tongdao: "They heard that they were so poor that they couldn't even hold a decent funeral. Wang Zhi saw that he was pitiful and copied several famous names." Lao Chao, now we have gathered the money to bury the former king, but it was delayed because of the strong wind and waves in summer, so we didn’t send a letter back.”
"I've been fighting over there...has it been two years?" Wu Youwei thought for a while: "Isn't it over yet?" "
"The beating is over, but people's hearts are not so easy to win over. It is said that the poor in that place don't even have food to eat, and the people are just like you said, extremely vicious." Wan Tongdao: "People's hearts don't mean those people's hearts. but the hearts of nations around them."
If you want to destroy a vassal state, you must have a good reason, such as Zhancheng, so as not to arouse the resentment of the surrounding vassal states. Otherwise, if they unite, the ants will kill the elephants and cause troubles for Daming.
"Then... Wang Zhi and the others are okay?" Wu Youwei felt that it was not a problem for the navy to be stationed in Japan.
"Of course they are good. They have food, drink, and war to fight in the local area." Wan Tongdao: "They have a way. They don't kill people. They drive people out of the island directly, and they are not allowed to harass the coast of Daming."
"Ah?" Wu Youwei was stunned: "Those defeated warriors are an unstable existence."
Historically, these defeated warriors harassed the seas and territories of Ming Dynasty, so that later generations have the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang and others.
