Chapter 501: Across the West
The Nuanfang Pavilion is as warm as spring, Hou Xuanyan is half lying on the dragon chaise, beating his knees.
The spiritual medicine was surprisingly straightforward and stood aside without sticking to him. It turned out that Ma Shiying was there too.
A moon-white slanted silk jacket, and a string of pearl necklaces hanging on its fair and slender neck, which looks clean and refreshing, bright and charming.
Ma Shiying said excitedly, "Your Majesty was the King of Yue in the past, so if I want me to say that this country is called Da Yue."
The spiritual medicine frowned, bit his lip and said, "The Jingnan Province we just established was originally called Dayue. Wouldn't it be that the small court of Jingnan was reduced to its own status?"
Hou Xuanyan agreed deeply, "The more definitely it is not possible, there are three emperors and five emperors, and Yu set up nine provinces, and the two words "Huaxia" were passed down. Xia was the first dynasty to open up the world, and everything has its beginning and end, so how about ending with the word "Hua?"
Ma Shiying pondered silently, and Lingyao also lowered her head to think. Hou Xuanyan saw Ma Shiying lowering her head to ponder, and quietly approached the little feet that touched Lingyao with her feet.
Lingyao's face suddenly turned red, and he quietly took a half step back, calmly retracted his little feet under the skirt. His delicate face seemed to be a smile, his teeth bit his red lips, his watery eyes were filled with spring feelings, and the girl's tender face was particularly attractive, which made Hou Xuanyan's heart sway.
"Okay! OK!" Ma Shiying applauded, and the two people with ulterior motives nodded quickly.
Ma Shiying continued, "Your Majesty's idea is extremely wise. Starting with Xia and ending with Huawei, our Great Hua Empire will surely last for generations."
Hou Xuanyan laughed dryly, got up and walked to the window, opened the window and the shade of the tung trees was heavy, and a little cold wind blew over it made people feel energetic.
"It's decided so that the officials of the Ministry of Rites won't be clamoring all day long. Gu Yanwu's voice sounded in my ears these days as soon as I went to bed, which was very annoying."
Ma Shiying hurriedly left and went to the Ministry of Rites to agree on a new national name. Gu Yanwu has always been against him. This time he was ordered by the emperor to hit the last hammer, which should be disgusting him. Hou Xuanyan ascended the throne for so long, and his civil and military achievements have made achievements. Most people from the court, the country and the people have already recognized this emperor. It is time to change the national name and the year name. Of course, it is okay to continue to worship the emperor's tablets of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as Ma Shiying left the hall, a fragrant and pretty body rushed into Hou Xuanyan's arms, raised her face and smiled charmingly, "Your Majesty is teasing others in front of her father, Yao'er is not willing to do so."
Hou Xuanyan smiled grimly and said, "You little hoof just now teased your master, so you should be punished."
Lingyao's big eyes rolled, and his face immediately changed into a timid expression. He pinched his little hand and stepped back to the corner of the wall to breathe. His collar was staggered at some point, revealing a white and greasy look. The look of fear in the horror made Hou Xuanyan know whether she was pretending or unconsciously immersed in it.
"What are you going to do? My dad just left, my dad is so awesome."
"It's so varied, let's see how I deal with you!"
"No, come here, hehehehehehehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The New Year is approaching, and dozens of kings of foreign countries have arrived in Jinling under the transport of naval warships.
Jinling City has welcomed so many royal families, all of which are extremely consumer-friendly, and the goods in large and small shops in Jinling are also attractive enough to these foreign royal families.
On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there are all kinds of gouache and rouge shops, and the expensive silk brocade shops in the garment workshop. Just picking up one of them is enough for ordinary people to spend more than ten years. This is a real gold-selling cave, not to mention the popular girl on the boat, who often pays tens of thousands of taels of appearance.
The so-called "three hundred and sixty professions" are the top scholars in every profession, and if a woman who is rolling in the brothel is called the title of "the head of the courtesan", it would be amazing.
Their appearance fees are tens of thousands, which is impossible. Whenever there is an era of economic growth and wealthy people emerge, they will always win many actors and actors. The once famous Eight Beauties of Qinhuai have now gradually faded out of people's vision and replaced by younger girls.
Walking in Jinling City in the afternoon, Hou Xuanyan felt that his body was light and his body was very happy. The girls in the garment shop were very good at embroidery, and they were not even as good as the Da Nei Weaving Supervisor. Not to mention the various delicacies along the street, they were purely natural and pollution-free, and there were absolutely no pesticide residues and chemical additives. Hou Xuanyan could guarantee this.
Lingyao on the side followed him closely, and it was not very convenient to walk. Fortunately, she was wearing a scholar's outfit, and her two trembling legs would not be too obvious. Only familiar people would find that the pearl necklace on Lingyao's neck was missing, which was 80% directly related to her walking posture.
Hou Xuanyan took her to many shops, and then stopped in a teahouse. The guards around him quietly mingled with the crowd and patrolled.
The magic medicine was like a general amnesty, and white-haired sweat appeared on the tip of his nose. Hou Xuanyan laughed in a slight smile. Just as he was about to make a few jokes, he heard someone beside him talking loudly.
The brother's voice was so loud that he could hear it in the entire teahouse. Lingyao was worried that Hou Xuanyan would be angry, and was about to wave his hand to signal the guard to come forward, but Hou Xuanyan held down his hand.
"There are people everywhere in the West with yellow-haired and blue-eyed people, and they are dressed so well!" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a healthy bronze skin. He said as he slapped his thighs with excitement, spitting all over the stars, and the spiritual medicine frowned, and turned his head to look.
However, Hou Xuanyan listened with relish, and his fingers beat the table with rhythmic fingers, and continued to listen to him showing off at the top of his voice.
From his words, Hou Xuanyan came to a conclusion that this man had just returned from Europe on a boat and was on a merchant ship from the Ming Dynasty. These merchants even made a big move.
At the end, Hou Xuanyan reached out and called Qin He and whispered a few words. After a while, the talking man came to the private room separated by the curtain with a nervous look on his face. The magic medicine slowly retreated and closed the door.
The man knelt down on the ground, "Long live the grass people to pay homage to my emperor."
Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Pingshen, what's your name?"
The man got up, his nervous heart was raised to his throat, and he said submissively, "Go back to Your Majesty, the grass-roots call him Gelun."
"Haha, don't be nervous. I have no other intentions, I just want to ask you a few things. Is this ship you went to the West really like you said, was it made from the Longjiang Dock?"
"Caomin dares not deceive my emperor, it is indeed a ship from Longjiang shipyard."
Hou Xuanyan's expression moved and became even more excited. He asked, "How is this kind of ship sailing on the sea? Is it safe to go to the West when you encounter wind and waves?"
Gelun said proudly, "Master, our Longjiang Dock ship is much stronger than the Westerners, and it is larger in size, about ten feet long, two feet wide, one feet tall, nine feet high, and three to four thousand dans of water. As long as it is not particularly big, you don't have to be afraid."
"Okay! OK! OK!" Hou Xuanyan said three times in a row, stood up and asked, "Did we have encountered any questions when we arrived in the West? Does any country have a bad attitude?"
"No!" Glen said firmly, "Our merchant ships arrived at the West and the goods were stolen. The bid was dozens of times higher than that of Jiangnan, and people still flocked to them."
"oh"
Glen looked at His Majesty the Emperor in disappointment. His Majesty looked a little disappointed with such a respectful answer.
