A prostitute walked in swaggeringly, and was immediately welcomed by two women wearing gorgeous kimonos and wearing wooden clogs. He hugged him from left to right, staggered in, breathed on the smell of alcohol, and said loudly
Joking words.
No one paid any attention to him as he passed by. Similar scenes abounded in the bathhouse, and some even showed off their obscenities in public. Compared to those behaviors, he was considered gentle.
In modern society, most mixed-sex bathing places are high-end consumption places, and they disdain to link pornographic activities with them, making them invisible. However, this was not the case in ancient times. At that time, there were dozens of bathing girls in each bathing place.
There are also female generals who accompany guests with wine, singing, and bathing. When the guests become interested, you can imagine what else they will do.
There was a separate bathhouse, quiet inside, with only one man. There was an exquisite lacquer plate on the side of the pool, with a bottle of sake in it, and a few simple foods. The drunk ronin walked into this small bathhouse,
After saying a few words in Japanese to the soup girl, the two soup girls kissed him hard on the cheeks and went out laughing.
As soon as the soup girl left, the ronin immediately pulled the curtain, took off his clothes and walked into the water naked. He paddled to the side of the man who had his eyes closed and was concentrating. He leaned against the pool wall comfortably next to him, with the tattoos on his cheeks.
With several big red lip marks.
The man opened his eyes and asked, "How is it? Did you find out more about it?"
He spoke in Chinese, and the drunken ronin's eyes regained their clarity. He nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I found out clearly that the person who massacred our Xiangshan County town was Owari's little guardian Dai Oda Tsunetake."
Seeing the huge profits from robbery, this person was very jealous. He once asked his younger brother Oda Tsunemei to gather a group of shabby samurai and ronin to rob the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. With the support of the Oda family, several Japanese pirate organizations
, their power is the greatest.
All along, they have obtained many benefits at a very small cost. However, when they were in Xiangshan, they were ambushed by Yi Shaozong Qianhu. After a melee, Oda Changmei died, and Oda Changzhu was greatly
Angry, they have been planning revenge for this. They chose Xiangshan as their target, sent a small group of troops to lure away the nearby officers and soldiers, and created this murder."
"It's good to be sure. Boss Xia has ordered that the culprit behind the scenes must be found and brought to justice! Our plan can begin!"
The person who spoke was Dai Yubin. When Xia Xun set his sights on Japan, a group of capable spies were sent over by him. Dai Yubin did not understand Japanese, but it did not matter. In fact, despite the imperial court's maritime ban, the people and the police were
The smuggling trade in Japan has been very frequent with the connivance of coastal officials turning a blind eye.
Porcelain from Raozhou, silk floss from Huzhou, gauze hats from Zhangzhou, cotton cloth from Songjiang, books, copper coins, famous paintings, etc. are all transported to Japan through some secret channels, so there are many Chinese businessmen in Japan, and they are not necessarily aware of it.
Everyone is proficient in Japanese, so the appearance of Dai Yubin and other people will not attract the attention of interested people.
The man who pretended to be a Japanese ronin was named Cui Yongjing. He was one of the earliest secret agents recruited by Metal Dragon. He was originally a Shuangyu pirate. Shuangyu Guard rarely plundered and mainly engaged in smuggling.
Because the police were close at hand, he was an important target of their smuggling, so he could speak fluent Japanese. When he pretended to be a Japanese, even the Japanese had difficulty distinguishing the authenticity, so he became Dai Yubin's
Right-hand assistant.
They used smuggling and business as a cover and soon took root in Japan. They now have their eyes and ears in Edo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagasaki and other places. In addition to spying on intelligence, their other important responsibility is to find Xiangshan.
The real culprit behind the murder in the county town has finally been found.
I don’t know what conspiracy they planned against the Oda family. The two whispered for a long time. Cui Yongjing stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something and sat down again and said: "Ah! By the way, I just got a piece of news about Beishan.
The palace is looking for a businessman who has just arrived in *** and is familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty. I am worried that someone has noticed our whereabouts and made a special inquiry. It is said that their general who conquered the barbarians wants to know about the situation on our side."
"Oh? Do you know the situation in our Ming Dynasty?"
Dai Yubin thought for a moment and said: "You should find a way to contact them, recommend Dongfang Liang to them, and see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd."
"yes!"
Cui Yongjing agreed, stood up, and walked out naked. Of course, he couldn't leave right away, otherwise it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Although the people in this bathhouse were suspicious, they couldn't think of why they were suspicious, but they were cautious.
The important principle is that there is no need to expose this flaw to others.
The curtain was closed again, and then came the scream of a soup girl, followed by the lewd laughter of Cui Yongjing, who had regained his ronin appearance. A man and two women chased and laughed out. Dai Yubin shook his head and smiled, and put a wet piece of
The towel covered my face...

"He's so brave!"
Zhu Di took a picture of the imperial book case and sneered: "The Japanese have been ashore many times recently without finding anything. Every time they leave, they always leave dozens to hundreds of corpses behind. The Japanese pirates have retreated slightly. It can be seen that Yang Xu's suppression of the bandits has been quite effective."
.And the Fuzhou magistrate Wan Shiyu actually impeached Yang Xu and used torture and severe methods to eliminate the good and the bad, causing a depression along the coast and people in poverty! Huh! I originally heard that many gentry and officials along the coast are tempted by the profit of the sea market.
Those who do illegal things can be seen clearly by reading his memorial that confuses right and wrong. He confuses the public with his evil words and disturbs the morale of our army. He should be killed!"
"Your Majesty, how can the depression along the coast be due to the suppression of Japanese invaders? Could it be that by asking Japanese pirates to come and plunder our coastal areas in the Ming Dynasty, the common people benefited instead? I have just received a memorial from the Imperial Envoy Huang Zhen.
He also mentioned the poverty and depression of the people along the coast, but his view was very different from that of the Wan Zhifu. He was also a scholar, and his insight was really decisive."
Upon hearing Zhu Di's anger, Mu En, who had been prepared for it, immediately interrupted. He was now in charge of the inner study and had the opportunity to get in touch with the memorials earlier than the emperor. Because he was responsible for selecting, sorting, classifying and submitting them, it was natural for him to have a rough idea of the contents.
of.
"Oh? Is the coastal area really so poor? Does anyone else have a different opinion? Bring it to me."
Mu En immediately flipped through the thick pile of memorials, pulled out one and presented it to Zhu Di with both hands.
Huang Zhen's memorial is very persuasive to Zhu Di's temperament. It is said that it is to Zhu Di's temperament because the content of the memorial contains very little text, unlike some people's colorful and colorful memorials, which are really useful when implemented.
A few words. It is said to be very persuasive. For the same reason, other people's memorials mostly used reasoning, quotations from scriptures, and saints' remarks in order to persuade the emperor. In fact, the emperor just brushed these things over, making it difficult to be truly convincing.
.
However, the writing style of Huang Zhen's memorial is very fresh. He only tells the facts. The power of judging right and wrong is not left to the saints thousands of years ago, but to the emperor. Huang Zhen's memorial really took a lot of effort.
, he consulted a large number of ancient books and found the Han Dynasty, the earliest era of sea trade between the Central Plains and other countries, which was clearly recorded in history books. He kept counting down and listed the pros and cons of each dynasty and each generation's sea trade.
Then he talked about the earliest appearance of sea bans in the Yuan Dynasty, listed the facts, analyzed the reasons for the four sea bans in the Yuan Dynasty and the reasons for the abolition of the sea bans, and listed the impact on the tax revenue of the Yuan Dynasty before and after these sea bans.
In particular, there is a picture in his memorial that Zhu Di has never seen before after reading more than a thousand memorials every day: a statistical analysis and comparison chart.
The comparison is between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. What is the proportion of the imperial tax revenue in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and how high is the amount? What is the gap between the total tax revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in a year, and the differences between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
Comparison of cultivated land area, grain output per mu, comparison of the amount of rice, noodles, meat and other foods that ordinary people in the market can eat every day...
Who has seen this kind of novel data comparison memorial? Huang Zhen did not find reasons from the "sage theory", he only listed these, which was enough for the emperor to think deeply.
Of course, Huang Zhen couldn't blame Taizu for this. He then talked about the reason why Taizu banned the sea in this dynasty: it was because the court needed to settle the internal affairs at that time, attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and deal with Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and other rebels who fled to the sea.
The remnants and pirates could not spare the time to clear them out, so they ordered a maritime ban. But this is no longer the case, the imperial court has the ability to clear the sea frontier.
The coastal people make a living by hunting and fishing. The sea ban is too strict and their physiological condition is getting worse. At this time, the sea ban policy should be changed. This matter is not only related to the livelihood of the coastal people, but also the capital of the military. Therefore, I ask your Majesty.
Thinking deeply, after the coastal Japanese pirates were fatally attacked, the maritime ban policy should be relaxed to allow the people to make a living and so on...
Of course Huang Zhen could not write a memorial in this style, and he had never seen it before.
The title, outline, style, and even the format of the table of this memorial were all written for him by Xia Xun. Huang Zhen was only responsible for looking up these detailed data from the pile of old papers accumulated by the previous dynasty, and then organizing them into words to form
A formal memorial. Even so, the workload was huge enough. There were no computers at that time, and there were no specialized books in this area. In fact, this task was given to Xia Xun long before he left the capital. Mr. Huang
After crawling in the mountain of books and the sea of books for several months, I was almost exhausted and "stealing sheep" again, and then I finally finished it.
Such a memorial with detailed data greatly touched Zhu Di. In fact, he did not know many of these things. The books the prince read were all moral articles and words of saints. He only knew that the Song Dynasty was weak and
Little did they know that even in the weak Song Dynasty, the annual tax revenue of a mere corner of the Yangtze River was several times that of the vast Ming Dynasty, and the people's lives were actually better than those of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di had no doubts. The data listed in the memorial were very detailed, and the sources were clearly marked. Huang Zhen didn't dare to fake this thing even if he borrowed bear bile. Did the Japanese invasion originate from commercial ships or from maritime bans?
Zhu Di no longer considered this issue, but the huge disparity in tax income completely shocked him.
It was as if a window that had never been opened suddenly opened a crack, and from that crack, people saw a completely different world. On this day, Zhu Di had not finished approving the memorial. He spent the whole afternoon.
I'm reading Huang Zhen's memorial over and over again.

In Jinling City, the Fuguogong Palace has been built.
But Duke Fuguo is not in Beijing. According to Xie and Ziqi's wishes, they want to wait for him to come back before moving. The head of the family is not at home. How can it be done?
But Xia Xun doesn't know when the matter in eastern Zhejiang will be settled. There are already many servants in the Duke's Mansion, and it is not an option for the master not to stay for a long time. Furthermore, the consort Wang Ning is now separated from the second prince Zhu Gaoxu.
It was particularly close, and he had already fallen in love with the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi. It was not suitable to live in his other courtyard anymore. Although Wang Ning would not open his mouth to drive people away, he had better be more conscious. And he always lived here, which would inevitably give people a sense of
In order to reserve a way out and get entangled with the second prince, he sent someone to send a message back, asking them to move there first.
The door of Duke Fuguo's Mansion was opened, and everyone in the family took action and moved everything in. Because they originally lived in Wang Ning's Mansion, they didn't have much belongings, and most of the things in the new mansion were purchased one after another.
They had already been brought in, so the family originally moved easily and didn't have much to bring. However, Princess Ming'er, who often walked around the house and got along with them more and more harmoniously, learned that they were moving and gave them a lot of gifts.
, this time it became lively.
Kang tables, wine tables, square tables, bench tables, desks, picture tables, crescent tables, fan tables, chess tables, piano tables, offering tables...
Hainan huanghuali, black sandalwood, rosewood, Xiaoyou said: "I think...you are most likely right."
Zi Qi's eyes widened and he was shocked for a long time before he said something like a woman: "He's so courageous!"
