Four hundred and forty-fifth chapters Fan State enters the dynasty
"It's just that what you think is talented is completely different from what we call virtuous." Han De also wanted to try to explain to Mrs. Liu, but saw an unhappy expression on Mrs. Liu's face.
He could only sigh and said: "Oh, forget it, I can't explain it to you."
Mrs. Liu glanced at Han De lightly and did not continue to pester him.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was more than a month later, and the weather had entered the winter months. The cold wind began to howl between the sky and the earth, and when I woke up in the morning, I could already see a light layer of white frost on the tiles.
As people take a breath, they can already see the sight of puffing out clouds and mist.
Seeing the girl's cold hands, she couldn't help but use a charcoal pen to calculate. Han Du felt distressed and didn't know whether it was right or wrong to lead her into mathematics.
Fortunately, the problem of keeping out the cold was relatively easy to solve. Han Du asked people from the Jiaofang Division to make a few cotton coats for everyone in the family.
"What is this?" Sister Jingyun looked at the clothes Han Du brought. She had never seen such thick clothes.
"This is a cotton coat. It's very warm to wear." Han Du explained, took out one and handed it to the girl, "Go put it on and try it on."
Han Jingyun did not hesitate, took the cotton-padded clothes and went into the room to change into them. But within a moment, she felt a warmth wrap around her whole body. Her face turned red, she nodded happily to Han Du, and said with a smile: "This
The cotton-padded clothes are really nice, warm, soft and comfortable to the touch. It’s really a good thing.”
"As long as you like it, just wear these two pieces now. Wait until next year, prepare more cotton, and make a few more pieces for you." Han Du also laughed, and suddenly felt that he, a girl, was not
It's quite cute when you ask yourself math questions.
Han Jingyun smiled and shook his head and said: "Two pieces are enough for a change of clothes. This cotton coat is just for winter wear. You don't need too many. Just two pieces will be enough. Brother, you don't need to make any more for me."
"Let's talk about it then." Han Du neither agreed nor refused.
But there are times when girl Jingyun is not cute.
A few days later, Han Jingyun approached Han Du again. She said that she had finished studying mathematics again and hoped that Han Du could give her the following content.
This time, Han Du was wise enough not to doubt the girl, nor to check whether the girl had really finished her studies, so as not to be hit again. After promising to write the following content to her as soon as possible, he sent the girl away.
Stepping lightly on the tail of the winter moon, the New Year is approaching. In the capital, everyone from dignitaries to common people have begun to prepare New Year's goods.
Even Mrs. Liu, who was addicted to Journey to the West, rarely put down the book in her hand. She stood up and showed her majesty as the matron of the house, turning Han Shu's command around.
There is no way, he is the youngest of the three brothers and sisters of the Han family. Moreover, Han Du is on duty and does not have so much time to do housework. As for Han Jingyun, she still locks herself in the boudoir, never leaving the door or stepping out. At that time, her mother was
Those who support her studying will naturally not bother her with such trivial matters as New Year shopping.
So all the chores fell on Han Shu.
Not only the common people, but also the imperial court began to get busy as the New Year approached. The busiest one was the Ministry of War, because every New Year, all the foreign countries came to Beijing to pay tribute. And the tribute paid by the foreign countries to the court was mainly handled by the Ministry of War Joint Hall.
Hospitality, and responsible for all the envoys' clothing, food, accommodation, transportation and other activities after entering Beijing.
However, just as there are differences between people, there are also differences between countries, likes and dislikes. As a close neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo was the first country to actively send envoys to visit the Ming Dynasty, so it naturally received the best reception.
The preferential treatment can be three tributes a year.
Others include one tribute every two years, one tribute every three years, and one tribute every five years.
Paying tribute starts before the New Year, which is like giving gifts during the New Year. Unless you are a relative, no one waits until the New Year is over before giving gifts, right? Don't they always send gifts in advance before the Spring Festival?
The New Year is a major happy event for everyone. If you can receive gifts in advance at this juncture, it will naturally make people more happy and achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you give gifts after the New Year
If so, haha, how should I put it? Although people will not refuse, the effect is like a person has passed this level of excitement. No matter how good the gift you give, it will not make people excited again. Because
People are already excited and exhausted, so this will only achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Lao Zhu has always attached great importance to overseas demonstrations of unification. The reason is that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty has always been the image of a suzerain state in the world. Lao Zhu expelled the Tartars and restored China. He finally overthrew the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and fought back in the north and south with great difficulty.
If he now replaces the Mongolian and Yuan Empire and maintains his status as a suzerain among the countries, wouldn't it mean that his Ming Dynasty is not as good as the former Yuan Dynasty? Therefore, Lao Zhu is eager to establish a fixed superior-subordinate order with surrounding forces in many aspects.
.
Even the Japanese state did not send envoys to pay homage after Lao Zhu ascended the throne. They sent envoys to the Japanese state with the seal of the Japanese king. First, they hoped that they would pay tribute. As a result, after the letter of credence was delivered, the Japanese state not only did not come to pay tribute, but instead chopped
Of course, Lao Zhu was extremely angry and threatened to send troops to attack the Japanese country, but due to various reasons, he failed to do so in the end.
The entry of Fan Bang into the imperial court was a big event for the people of the capital. Because after Fan Bang paid tribute to the imperial court, he would receive gifts in return from the imperial court. In addition to the gifts that were brought back to other countries, most of the remaining gifts were in the capital.
Sell it, exchange it for money, and then go to the capital to buy supplies that all parties are interested in and bring them back.
Therefore, for businessmen, this is a great opportunity to make money. After all, countries purchase a lot of materials, and there are almost all kinds of them. Many businessmen can take this opportunity to make a fortune.
For the common people, just watching all the excitement is enough for them to talk about it for a long time.
And now after envoys from various countries came to Beijing, they all expressed their extreme interest in one thing, and that was the mirror.
The bronze mirrors of the Ming Dynasty were originally on the purchase list of various countries. Every time these envoys came to the Ming Dynasty, they would buy a large number of bronze mirrors to go back to. But this time they heard the news of better mirrors as soon as they entered the capital, and they naturally came to the capital one after another.
Let’s take a look at the reality.
When they saw the mirror, everyone was amazed. This mirror was much better than the bronze mirror. If you could buy it back... wouldn't you make a fortune?
So he quickly entangled Xiong Ting, and each of the lions opened their mouths and asked for dozens or hundreds of items.
