Chapter 1835 Do not fall into the prestige of the country
Wang Shiwu was working in the Honglu Temple, and his position was uncertain and he ran everywhere. To put it bluntly, he was just a minor official who did some tricks.
After the messengers came, he served them in the inn and waited for the call.
With more than a dozen messengers, plus their entourage, Wang Shiwu made a round trip in a day, and he had to convey his requests whether he was eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
This is a errand-run chore, and conflicts often occur.
Just like doing business, if you have conflicts with customers, let the people below face the customer first. When the customer's anger is almost over, and when you know the reason, the people above should appear.
This is the buffer, and Wang Shiwu does this job.
The envoys lived in a bad place, which was a sin that Fang Xing committed. Last time the envoys first arrived in Jinling, he heard that the envoys thought they would not go to sea after the Ming Dynasty and looked down upon them, so they threw the group of people into the inn.
Naturally, the inn could not be compared with the places carefully prepared by the Honglu Temple in the past, but the envoys were frightened by Fang Xing and did not dare to question them at that time.
But they had been waiting for Shi Erjie for a long time, but they still couldn't see the Ming Dynasty's intention of sending them back to China, so their patience gradually faded and their temper became bigger and bigger.
It was almost lunch time, and Wang Shiwu went to the kitchen to take a look. When he saw mutton and chicken, he laughed and said a few words with the chef, thinking that today should be safe.
After the food was ready, Wang Shiwu brought a group of servants to deliver it to him.
One country and one courtyard, Wang Shiwu brought people to him one by one.
It was still smooth at the beginning, but when I was sent to Sulu's courtyard, the messenger's entourage lost his temper because he missed his relatives, and immediately overturned the food. He even scolded Wang Shiwu excitedly.
"Is this how you Mingren treat your friends?"
The entourage pointed at Wang Shiwu and said, "How long has it been? It's been more than a year, why are we still locked up here?"
Wang Shiwudui smiled and said, "Isn't this the fleet not ready? The fleet is now being renovated, so I will naturally take you back when I leave the voyage later."
The Sulu envoy brought not many entourages, but more than 30 people were crowded in the yard, and the conditions were not good. In addition, he missed his family, and was a little excited.
"Last time you said you left immediately, how long has it been? We have learned the Ming Dynasty and haven't left yet."
"Your emperor didn't keep his word. Last time he said he wouldn't go into the sea anymore. Now the emperor said he wanted to go into the sea and go back on his word. It doesn't look like... it doesn't look like..."
Although he endured the words in the end, Wang Shiwu could guess what he wanted to say and refuted: "That's Your Majesty, can you talk about it?"
A follower shouted angrily: "We want to go back! If you refuse, then give it to the ship and let's go back by ourselves!"
At this time, other missions heard the movement here and stopped eating lunch and squeezed into the yard.
"We're going back! Go back!"
"You wise people don't keep their word!"
"We're going back!"
Gradually, the crowd became excited, and under the control of family thought, the missions began to protest.
Wang Shiwu's forehead was sweating, and there were voices around him, protest sounds.
If it were in the past, these missions would not dare to gather to cause trouble, but Zheng He's fleet had been renovated for a long time, and even if the shipbuilding was about to come out, it still did not sail. This would be the mission's personnel who were not excited.
"When will you go back? You tell us when will you go back?"
Wang Shiwu blinked his eyes, looked at his angry faces, and said, "Xing He Bolai Jinling."
The yard became quiet in an instant. These people remembered the warning that they woke up last time, and they all felt a little relieved.
But a few people were probably furious and chattering endlessly.
"If you don't keep your word, how can you go to the country like this? Where can you?"
Wang Shiwuyi was angry when he heard this and said, "You are not satisfied with the delicious food and drink here? As for when to go back, you have to wait..."
Wang Shiwu felt that the surroundings were very quiet, and he could not even hear the sound of coughing and breathing.
So honest?
Wang Shiwu slowly turned around and saw a gap dodging behind him. Through the gap, he saw Fang Xing standing outside the yard with his hands behind his back.
Wake up coldly!
"It's so lively!"
Fang Xing stood outside, his eyes slowly swept over the people in the yard, stopped at Wang Shiwu, and said, "You are not bad."
Wang Shiwu felt a clear spring slowly dripping from his head, and the grievance and anxiety in his heart were wiped away by the clear spring. He bowed and said, "My uncle, I just don't want to fall into the power of the Ming Dynasty."
Fang Xing nodded, then looked cold and said lightly: "Why are you not satisfied? Say, "Brother Ben is making the decision for you today. If it is not enough, Boru will immediately write to the capital city and ask Your Majesty to decide."
The yard was silent. Wang Shiwu couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw these people.
No one answered, Fang Xing said, "Let the messengers come here."
Those who understand the Ming Dynasty immediately went out quietly, and those who don’t understand followed. Soon, only Wang Shiwu was left in the courtyard.
The Sulu delegation was frightened and even left the yard.
Wang Shiwu bowed and said, "Boye, I admire you. Please make arrangements for you."
Fang Xing exclaimed lightly, nodded, and then Wang Shiwu called the people who delivered the food to come in and make arrangements.
Seeing him commanding the servants to arrange the main hall in an orderly manner, Fang Xing felt that the Ming Dynasty was really not short of talents, but just lacked channels for talent growth.
"I've met Xing and Bo."
The messengers came, but Fang Xing did not look back and became the first to enter the main hall.
These messengers are not good birds either. The followers just now made trouble, so they were indulged in their indulgence.
After both sides sat down, Wang Shiwu gave Fang Xing tea. As for the messengers, I'm sorry, there were too many people and there were no tables.
Fang Xing touched the teacup, felt the hotness, and then said: "In two years, the Ming Dynasty experienced the change of two emperors in two years, which is a great misfortune."
The envoys all bowed their heads to express their condolences. Fang Xing glanced at him and said, "Fortunately Your Majesty has stabilized the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty has stabilized, all matters will naturally progress gradually. I heard that you are dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty? Tell me, I am here. I will say anything you have any dissatisfaction. If you can solve it, I will solve it. If you can't solve it, I will report it to Your Majesty."
"There is nothing, Xing and Bo, we respect the Ming Dynasty as a god, but nothing."
"Yes! I wanted to go back early to report to the lord, and then the junior high school of the country will come to pay my condolences..."
This statement implies that when Zhu Gaochi left, Daming did not ask them to go to Peking to pay their condolences.
Fang Xing glanced at the messenger who said this and said, "The guest is as he pleases. How can the Ming Dynasty arrange it? It is the Ming Dynasty's business. When the whole country is sad, do you still have to cover everything? Or do you have to wait if you lack your late emperor?"
The messenger was stunned. After reacting, he apologized and said, "I'm making a mistake."
From Jinling to Peiping, when they arrived, Zhu Gaochi's body was already cold. What were he going to do? Spend money and food?
So when Lu Zhen went to ask Zhu Zhanji for instructions, he ignored it directly.
"This time the fleet goes to sea, one is to comfort and the other is to trade."
The fear of being re-controlled by the giant Ming Dynasty made the messengers feel sad and joyful.
The sad thing is that I am afraid I can’t expand freely in the future, otherwise the Ming Dynasty’s fleet will bring the strong side back to its original form.
What is good is that security will be guaranteed in the future, and after trade reopens, these vassal states will also be beneficiaries.
Fang Xing saw these complex expressions and said: "Trade, the Ming Dynasty does not need those rare birds and beasts, nor does it need those flashy things. Since it is trade, it either barter or exchanges gold and silver. This is an iron rule, and we will do it in the future."
