Chapter 94: Broken Fan and Bad Knife (New Year's greetings to readers)
Kang Fei couldn't help frowning when he saw Ergouzi slapping the other person with a big mouth. He vaguely felt that this kid was learning from him and was willing to persuade him, but he couldn't stop others from imitating him!
The guy who was slapped by Ergouzi covered his face with his hands and said, "Mr., I don't mean that, I just said, my Japanese sword is very good, really, if you don't believe me, you can talk to Master Xizhilang in person...
Kang Fei was stunned when he heard this, thinking that there were Japanese people in Yangzhou?
But when you think about it again, this is not impossible. The folk exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Fusang are actually very close. The history of martial arts mentioned that Liu Yunfeng from Zhejiang traveled to Fusang to learn Fusang's two-handed swordsmanship. Five hundred years later, there was a comic called "Langke Jianxin", which also talked about a certain genre going to Middle-earth to learn the mystery of its own genre... In addition, in history, Wang Zhi, the owner of the Five Peaks, had become a climate on Jiuzhou Island in Fusang. If there were no large number of Ming people living in the local area, how would it become a climate?
For example, when Qi Jiguang later wrote "Xinyou Sword Technique", the unofficial history of the two countries generally believed that the secret letter of Yinliu Military Art was not Aizhou Xiaoqilang himself, but at least he was a disciple who was exempted from Xu Jilang's passage.
It can be seen from this that the civil exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Fusang are actually very close.
Later generations always liked to say that the sea was forbidden in the age of time, but after reading through history books, the Ming Dynasty never said that the sea was not forbidden in the field. That was what [My Qing Kang Mazi] did. It really had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. The sea was forbidden in the Ming Dynasty, but it was not allowed to build a large brig ship for sea trade.
The sea ban in the Ming Dynasty really means that it is a long story for children to say. To put it simply, it is actually that the tribute system of the Celestial Kingdom did not make money. The court traded at a loss every time the tribute trade was like Fusang, and the red seal ships were pulled by boat to the Ming Dynasty, and then pulled the hard currency Yongle Tongbao back one by one (the visitor took heavy capital and the "History of Ming Dynasty" of the Chinese city)... The Celestial Dynasty copper mine was not rich, so how could it stand such a law? Later, the court stipulated that if you have nothing to do, don't just come to fight the autumn wind. You can only come once every ten years, and no more than two hundred people or two ships at a time.
But in this way, the Fusang people stopped doing it. They were small countries and few people, and they would not do without trade.
Poor places need trade the most, such as Western merchants and Hui merchants. If you think about it carefully, it will not be an economically developed place in five hundred years. Even Wen merchants gave people the impression that they were from the development gallery at the beginning and made their first pot of gold.
Let’s not talk about anything else, to give an example, Fusang’s so-called Warring States Period, the iron cannons were claimed to be the most common in the world, but Fusang did not produce saltpeter, and all had to be imported from the Ming Dynasty. Kang Fei played the "Taige Lizhi Biography" and bought saltpeter in it. He had to go to Jie Town specifically. There was no place next to it. It was really a fire of iron cannons, and it cost ten thousand taels of gold.
Now Kang Fei's little horse is Sugi Aphid, the one under her command, Ce Yan and Zhou Liang, came last year, but this year he actually came with shamelessness, and there are several boats of different sizes and hundreds of people...
Why are the people of Fusang so diligent? Yongle Tongbao is the legal currency of Fusang and is indispensable. The exchange rate of Fusang gold and silver is 1 to 4. By the Ming Dynasty, it is 1 to 10, pulling a ship of gold, and you can buy a lot of things back.
Not to mention anything else, the people of Fusang can't burn porcelain, and even pottery is difficult. How did those so-called treasures come from the so-called treasures? Real gold and silver were bought from the Ming Dynasty.
For example, tea and silk, don’t mention these, they must have been bought from the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the origin of the concept of "our Celestial Empire is rich in all over the world" in China. It is able to be self-sufficient. Later, in the Qing Dynasty, Westerners bought raw silk, tea, sugar, and porcelain from Celestial Empire one by one. What is the only thing they can sell? It is opium... This kind of trade deficit, without fighting, is that strange.
The Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were actually the same. The only thing that could sell some money in Fusang was nothing more than breaking a fan and shaking a knife. The rest had to be bought back with real money.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty actually had close contacts with Fusang in private.
Otherwise, why would Zhu Dutang, who was suppressing Japanese pirates on Shuangyu Island, be scared to retreat after two thousand large ships came in three days?
The imperial court did not make any money in maritime trade, but there were not too many people who made money on the coast.
When Kang Fei thought about it this way, he felt that there was a Fusang Master Hizhilang from Datong Lane, which seemed to be nothing strange.
He touched his chin and asked at the guy who was covering his cheeks, "What's your name?"
"Mr., I'm in Wu Jincheng, and the shop is right in front." Although this guy was slapped by Ergouzi, he has to say that he is really a person who dares to do business.
"Okay, I'll meet Master Hinoro in your store. If you really have good skills, what's wrong with making some money for you?"
Wu Jincheng was overjoyed and his waist was bent halfway, "Please please, Master."
He invited Kang Fei to the store. A man wearing a towel tied to his pants was beating a red knife strip. Kang Fei stood at the door and felt the heat was so shaking his fan.
"Xizhilang, come quickly." Wu Jincheng called the man wearing a loincloth, "This is the famous Mr. Dai Yuxian, who is recently famous in Yangzhou City..."
Damn, one or two of you gave me the name of meeting an immortal?
At this time, Luo Li, who were following behind, saw that the man inside was only wearing a piece of cloth under his crotch, and they were all very embarrassed. They quickly gathered on the street to help each other cover their eyes. The soft voices sounded one after another: Cover your eyes quickly... and look at the head of the president...
The man in a loincloth is not tall, with a pair of narrow eyes. As expected, he looks like a Fusang man. He opens his mouth but speaks a man of Southern Zhili, "The villain has met Mr. Dai."
"Oh! You are not ugly in your official words." Kang Fei shook his fan and asked him, "How long have you been to the Ming Dynasty?"
At this time, Wu Jincheng next to him quickly took a long gown to wear for Xizhilang, "Put your clothes quickly, don't taint the eyes of the master and all the ladies."
While wearing clothes, Hizhiro replied, "The villain is from Mino. It has been eight years since the Ming Dynasty. Boss Meng Wu took in and married his daughter to the villain..."
Kang Fei was shocked and looked at Wu Jincheng and said, "Damn it turns out you are this guy's father-in-law?"
Wu Jincheng quickly bowed, "Thank you, my husband. I think Xizhilang is a good person and has good skills. I don't have a male man in my family, so I want to recruit him as a son-in-law."
"You're not right. Since you are a son-in-law, why do you treat others as animals?" Kang Fei pointed at Xizhilang, "Look, this hot day, I'm still wiping in the store. Not to mention preparing some Dragon Tiger and Human Pills, at least I'll prepare some mung bean soup!"
Wu Jincheng exclaimed when he heard this, "Mr., our small business, how can we pay so much attention to it..."
Ergouzi next to him curled his lips, "You are obviously unkind and unkind, but you still have to be stubborn."
"My little master, if I really treat him as a livestock, why would I marry my daughter to him? My daughter was my biological child, not picked up." Wu Jincheng called Bitianqu.
"The girl can afford to pay money, but she can't afford to keep it." Ergouzi didn't seem to be planning to let him go, "Who knows this!"
When Wu Jincheng saw Kang Fei's companion saying this, he was so anxious that he jumped up and couldn't help but say to Kang Fei, "If the young master doesn't believe it, ask Xizhilang himself and see how I treat him."
Kang Fei thought to myself that I was not the women's director of the street office, so he shook his fan and said, "I just said it casually. As for the truth, it is Boss Wu, your family matter, it has nothing to do with me..." He said, turning around and asking Xizhilang, "I'll ask you, how many knives can you make?"
When Xizhilang saw Kang Fei asking very professionally, he was stunned.
ps: I was going to take two days off, but the epidemic is coming, and even many movies are out of stock. I guess many readers are trapped at home, so I should just write honestly!
