The Yingguan Hotel in Lifanyuan is a five-entrance mansion, divided into separate courtyards. It is easy to say, but it also shows the atmosphere of a great country everywhere.

At this time, in the huge welcoming hotel, except for the places where the Japanese envoys lived, there was only a remote courtyard in a long distance and someone could vaguely see looking at this side.

The courtyard where the Japanese envoy lives is full of busy servants. No matter how good the country is, it is necessary to have a demeanor. If you reach out and don’t hit people with a smile, you should still do the etiquette that people should have come from thousands of miles away.

Brand new bedding and lamps, various utensils and furniture, tea and dried fruit snacks, spittoon chamber pots and toilets...

"The envoy has worked hard all the way, and it has been settled inside. Please settle early!"

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshiji walked into the yard, Yang Shiqi, the chief officer of the Rifan Court, came towards him and bowed and smiled, "Today is too late, you can have a good rest, and prepare a welcome banquet for you tomorrow!"

"You are so polite!" Ashikaga Yoshichi stepped forward and bowed and smiled, "I will not receive any reward without merit, I am ashamed!"

"This..." Yang Shiqi was stunned and said to himself, "Damn it, is it used to be here for the help of nothing but merits?"

Although I felt sorry for my heart, I still smiled at each other, "You are so polite!"

As he said that, he turned sideways and made a gesture of inviting him.

Unexpectedly, the next second, I was caught by Ashikaga Yoshiji, "Yang Sang, I have been with you for a long time. I have heard that you are a talented and talented man in the heavenly kingdom and have a unique temperament. When you followed His Highness the Prince of Yan to visit Japan, I wish I could see your style in person! It's a pity that you went to the fining country of the famous mountain master, and it was really a blessing to make people!"

Yang Shiqi felt chills in his heart, and he pulled out his hand and smiled, "I have been awarded too much. Yang is just a scholar, so he should not praise him so much!"

But the next second, Yang Shiqi felt something touching his fingertips.

I looked down and saw a roll of silver notes rolled up...

"I heard that your country is as talented as you are, how poor." Ashikaga Yoshika smiled, "Some gifts don't make you respect, I hope you can accept them!" As he said, he pushed Yang Shiqi's hand, "If you don't accept it, you will look down on me. This is not only my wish, but also what General Ashikaga personally ordered!"

With the light, Yang Shiqi glanced quietly. The silver bill was obviously a private ticket from a money shop in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now Japan and the Ming Dynasty merchant ships have close contacts, and large-scale money transactions use such private tickets with excellent reputation.

After looking at it, I could see a word on the rolled-up silver note, and this volume would look like two or three thousand.

Yang Shiqi moved his finger, and the roll of silver notes automatically slid into his sleeve, "You are so polite!"

"This time I am here to come to the capital of Ming Dynasty, and I have to rely on you for many things!" Ashikaga Yoshita continued to smile, "Please give us some advice!"

"How can I...?"

"Speaking of this, Lord He, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is an old friend!" Ashikaga Yoshichi said, "Why don't he see him today?"

Yang Shiqi's heart moved, and he looked at no one on the left and right and whispered, "The matter of honor is now the Princess Cao, so what is the commander of the commander..."

In an instant, Ashikaga Yoshika understood.

He hurriedly continued to ask, "Duke Cao's name is well-known. He is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty and a confidant minister of His Majesty the Emperor." He said, sighing, "It's a pity that I really have no chance to see such a person!" As he said, he said, "I have a heartless request, why would I ask Yang Sang to recommend it on my behalf?"

"You fucking monkey? Climb along the pole?"

Yang Shiqi cursed in his heart and smiled on his face, "No need to introduce it. I will meet you tomorrow. Master will meet Duke Cao." As he said that, he turned sideways and said, "Thank you for your hard work, so let's take a break early!"

Ashikaga Yoshiji's face was a little disappointed.

But then, he ignited a little more hope.

Then Yang Shiqi continued, "If you don't feel tired after you settle down, you can also go out and enjoy my Ming Dynasty scenery."

~~

After settling down, Ashikaga Yoshiji, Hashimoto Arina and others changed into Ming Dynasty clothes.

At first, he was a little relieved and sent someone out to welcome the hotel to test. The sent out immediately came back to report, and there were a few soldiers guarding the door, not caring about their entry and exit.

"It's so tiring to deal with the people of Ming Dynasty!" Akina Hashimoto remembered the conversation between Ashikaga Yoshihiko and Ming Dynasty officials in his heart, and sighed, "It's all about words!"

"The Ming people are subtle, this is the art of speaking!" Ashikaga Yoshiji smiled and said seriously, "No need to delay, let's go to visit the Duke Cao! There are not too many people, just follow me, bring the gifts, and the two ladies, Asuka Fujisai and Misakura Imada, follow me!"

"Hayi!"

Then, Ashikaga Yoshitsuka was in front, and two followers behind him carried a box, and several others were wearing cloaks, carefully walked out of the gate of the Rifanyuan Ying Hotel.

As the pathfinder said, these envoys could enter and exit freely. Several soldiers guarding the gate stood like javelins without even glance at them.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Ashikaga Yoshihisa half-bowed to the soldiers, which scared them.

But as soon as I walked a few steps, I heard a sudden sound coming from behind, "Stay!"

Ashikaga Yoshiji turned around in surprise and saw a thin man with white cloth wrapped around his head and chased him from behind.

"Ashikaga Yoshichi asked in Chinese.

"May I ask, are you envoys of Japan?" The man also spoke Chinese, but his accent made Ashikaga Yoshiji a little disgusted.

"That's right, how dare you ask?"

"I am also an envoy!" The man saluted, "The envoy of the Ming Kingdom, King Ava, was sent to the Myanmar!"

"Oh!" Ashikaga Yoshiji said oh, feeling a little dissatisfied.

In fact, he may not even know where the country is. For Japan, there are only three major countries in the world, the Ming Dynasty, the earlier Goryeo and their Japan. The reason for this idea is that they have a deep Japanese transformation. Although they do not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they also regard other small countries as foreign countries.

But out of the sensitivity of the envoy, he still asked, "Why did your country send you to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Hey!" The Burmese envoy sighed, "The emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty arrived at the place where Yunnan and Myanmar were handed over. The emperor's grandson started a massacre as soon as he went. In just two months, there were more than a dozen cavalry raids, burning down the city walls of our country, plundering and killing people... He killed him without asking about the good and bad, just like a demon king. My king had no choice but to send him to serve as an envoy, but..."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "But it's useless. After coming to Ming Kingdom for more than ten days, he couldn't even see a minister in charge. He could only sit in the welcoming hotel!"

"Fortunately, I didn't border the land of Akira!" Ashikaga Yoshichi thought to himself.

"I'm taking the liberty, and I see you seem to be visiting an adult." The Burmese envoy bowed, "I don't know if it's because of the Ming Dynasty's vassal states, and I'm also recommending it. I'm grateful for it, I'm grateful!"

"This red deer!" Ashikaga Yoshichi cursed in his heart, "You think beautifully!"

He bowed and said, "I have just arrived, and there is no way to visit the Minister of Ming Dynasty. I want to see the night view of Ming Dynasty and say goodbye!"

After saying that, he took the people away regardless of the obstruction of the Burmese messenger.

After getting rid of the Burmese messenger, Ashikaga Yoshihiko looked at the bustling street and took a deep breath, smiled again, walked to the side of the road, and asked a sedan chair waiter, "Do you know where Duke Cao's mansion is?"

~~

"Master, I found someone to check in the afternoon. The wedding of the young master and Princess Jin will cost about 300,000 silver dollars!"

In the account room of Duke Cao Li Jinglong's house, Li Jinglong looked at the account room in front of him with a frown.

"This is just the cost of marrying the princess, jewelry for the head and face, and the clothes purchased from Zhejiang, glass crystal mirrors, and various furniture!" The accountant held a thick account book in both hands, "It has not been calculated yet for the cost of building a house. If you say the monastery, you will have an additional 280,000! In addition to these, you can buy farms and horse farms for the young master..."

"It's going to be a bloody life!" Li Jinglong wailed in his heart.

He is really not rich anymore. When his family's cash was sent to the palace as a filial piety when he was tying Yunnan, he was sent to the palace as a filial piety. Now the warehouses in the family are all stocks that are not easy to cash in immediately, but now his son is about to get married, and it is time to spend money.

Moreover, the daughter-in-law he married was a princess from the Wang family of Jin, so he could not save a penny.

"Have the accounts collected from Yunnan tea gardens, Korean salt and sugar, Zhejiang maritime merchants, and cotton workshops?" Li Jinglong didn't look at the account book and asked, "There are also the rents of those shops in the capital, and what about the prospects of the shops in the capital?"

"Go back to the grandfather, the money from those places has not been sent yet. But looking at it, the distance cannot quench the near thirst, you should prepare it early!" The accountant said carefully, "Besides, those combined are only about 300,000 yuan a year, and there is also a gap!"

"He..." Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, his eyes rolled, "Why don't you go to your father-in-law's house again? After all, will you be dear grandson?"

At this moment, the butler of the second gate quickly walked in, "Master, a guest is here!"

"Who?" Li Jinglong frowned.

"It was said that it was an envoy from Japan, but the young man looked at the scattered eyebrows and didn't dare to put it in!" said the housekeeper.
