Chapter 548: His Majesty's Road Trip(1/2)
Nikolaoz looked at Hu Yi, whispered, "I have a lot of good things here. If you say your thoughts, I will say my thoughts."
"It's very fair." Hu Yi's expression was as usual, but his thumb curled up slightly and he put it in his palm. If someone familiar with Hu Yi, such as Yu Qian, Your Majesty and others, he would know that Hu Yi was already angry.
He nodded and said, "What you want to get, what you have to pay."
"Yang Shan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, was very knowledgeable about Ma Huan, and settled the account for our Roman envoy."
"The envoy has lived in Huitong Inn for more than two years. Princess Elena has married into Tai'an Palace. We don't count it. So Nikolaoz himself, all the fees for Huitong Inn should be settled."
"Old man Jin from the Ministry of Revenue has been asking for trouble for my Ministry of Rites all day long. The expenses here are big, but where are the expenses? My Ministry of Rites is the leader of the six ministries! Is it not normal to spend a lot of money?"
"But this is really upsetting to be said."
After Hu Yi finished speaking, he was a little dull. The old man Jin, who was looking for the six ministers around to ask for money, had passed away.
This made Hu Yi even more irritable.
Ma Huan was stunned. He took out the account book and an abacus and said, "There are a total of 7,340 taels of silver. According to Roman silver coins and 70% silver coins of Ming silver coins, the total is 17,126.
Roman silver coins. Actuarially according to Roman gold coins is 7,300 gold coins.”
Nikolaoz is stupid...
He never expected that this Daming communist who had been with him day and night was actually actually keeping accounts for him, and it was so detailed that his monthly food, clothing, housing and transportation were recorded, and even the exchange rate was calculated in advance.
!
The people of the Ming Dynasty are really too sinister!
Hu Yi clearly remembered that Nikolaoz still owed Xu Youzhen five silver coins. When Xu Youzhen was in Hetao, she saw the embarrassment of the Roman envoy and kindly borrowed money.
At that time, Hu Yi knew very clearly the weakness of the Roman envoys, and they were too poor.
Nikolaoz is indeed a scholar, but he has no money.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty priced all the translated books, but this was a reward for the entire General Affairs Office. Nikolaoz could get a little, but he could never support his luxurious life in the Ming Dynasty.
"There are still three hundred Roman soldiers serving in the Ming Dynasty, and they existed as Tartar officials and Tartar troops. Do you know that the governor of Yingtian of the Southern Yai? He strongly opposed the existence of any Tartar officials and Tartar troops. He has many fans."
"In order to calm the rumors of the rumors of the purgatory rumors, our Ministry of Rites also needs to appease the ministers. We will not calculate the cost in detail with you, and we cannot calculate it clearly." Hu Yi did not give Nikolaoz any chance to react.
He threw out his own trump card.
When you don’t fight, you will persuade him with kind words. When you really have conflicts, you will kill him. This style is the style of His Majesty today.
He clenched his fist and then killed it with one punch.
The second card is the Roman soldiers who came to the Ming Dynasty with more than 300 entourages Nikolaoz and Elena.
Nikolaoz said with a gloomy expression: "I want to see Your Majesty. I have presented a lot of books from our Romans, and Your Majesty is very proud of this!"
"Is it so easy to see our Majesty?" Hu Yi took a sip of tea steadily.
Hu Yi was angry at a very simple reason. The Roman mission, with more than 300 people, was all expenses of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. Now he suddenly crossed the line and wanted to cross "Your is mine, mine is mine."
This line.
It would be strange if Hu Yi didn't knock on Nikolaoz, and Hu Yi was not a good-tempered person.
He Zhang scolded Hu Yi for being undeserved, and Hu Yi made He Zhangde not worthy of his position, and was feeling like he was in pins and needles in the position of the General Constitution of the Censorate.
Nikolaoz finally looked at Hu Yi with some condescendence. He suddenly remembered the first impression of Elena about the Ming Dynasty after coming to the Ming Dynasty was that she was domineering!
"Okay, okay, I don't have money." Nikolaoz spread his hands. He was an envoy who lost his country. He had no dignity at all. He could see the Minister of Rites every day because the Ming Dynasty was outside.
The world is just curious.
Can you blame the Ming Dynasty for burning bridges when crossing the river?
We can only blame them for the fact that Rome has disappeared into the long river of history.
Hu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Actually, you have already said what I thought of."
"Hmm?" Nikolaoz was unprecedentedly confused.
Hu Yi threw out two trump cards so strongly, one was the poverty of their mission and the other was the remnants of Rome. The purpose was to make Nikolaoz, who had just made a little request, dare not and cannot make a request.
But why are we talking about this topic again?
The Ming Dynasty's philosophy of dealing with things made Nikolaoz confused.
Hu Yi spread his thumb and said, "The people of the Ming Dynasty are indeed kind. It is precisely because of this kindness that the rule is solid. We do not deny that our kindness sometimes brings us a very heavy lesson in history."
Nikolaoz asked tentatively: "What about specific?"
Hu Yi leaned on the rattan chair and said quietly: "In the early Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had just ascended the throne. Jie Li Khan of the Turks came to the bank of the Weishui River with tens of thousands of troops and horses.
Emperor Taizong of Tang signed the treaty of the Weishui Alliance, and was extremely humiliated."
"You talked about that great monarch. Didn't he capture Jie Li Khan and dance under the tent?" Nikolaoz knew that Li Shimin was different from Rome. Historical materials were so clear and complete.
Hu Yi continued: "The Tang Dynasty educated all directions and married princesses to Tubo, Turks, Khitans, and Dali. When the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, all directions came to pay tribute and all countries came to congratulate him."
"But once the Tang Dynasty declined, the Western Xia, Liao and Jin dynasties were established one after another, and the iron hoofs were trampled, and the lives were lost."
"This is the consequence of what you call goodness."
Nikolaoz seriously recalled the historical materials he saw, and then said excitedly: "This has happened more than once, and that, the Japanese in the east, aren't you also educated?"
"So, if you keep the door closed, you can live your own life! Educating them will surely retaliate against the Ming Dynasty! How could Japan invade the Ming Dynasty's borders without hearing about etiquette and education?"
Hu Yi shook his head and said, "Qiongzhou was an exile place in the Song Dynasty. After the transformation of land during the Hongwu, Yongle and Xuande periods, I finally got the first Jinshi from Qiongzhou this year. Qiu Jun, who wrote the University Yanyi Bu, was born and raised.
from Qiongzhou.”
"To this day, who can say that Qiongzhou is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty?"
"By the same principle, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet are also the achievements of education."
The stories of Mr. Dongguo and Wolf are common, but not everyone has wolf ambitions. The Central Plains dynasty has consistent educational concepts since ancient times, allowing them to integrate with each other and finally form a stable dominant pattern.
After the fall of Rome, there was no new Rome birth. Split and centrifugal forces were always the political pattern of Thailand.
This is the sorrow of Rome and the sorrow of countless dying civilizations in the world.
Hu Yi suddenly raised his head and said proudly: "It is not yet known whether Rome can return, but China will always exist."
Nikolaoz's brow frowned and he shook his head and said, "I can understand what you mean. Maybe I don't know enough about your history, so I still can't understand why you are so sure."
Hu Yi's meaning is very clear. The troubles brought by kind nature are less than the benefits brought by them, so the Ming people still maintain their kind nature.
Who will do evil things?
Of course, he is His Majesty who is notorious for the king who has lost his country.
As a Roman, Nikolauz was already trying his best to learn the history of the Ming Dynasty, but he knew very little after all, and could not understand what Hu Yi was confident.
Hu Yi looked at Nikolaoz's sad face and said with a smile: "Look, sometimes, it's not that I won't say it. If I say it, you can't understand it, which makes it even more troublesome. It's better not to say it."
"You won again." Nikolaoz had to nod and admit that Hu Yi was right, and he really couldn't understand.
Hu Yi asked in confusion: "Then I said my thoughts, where are yours?"
Nikolauz sat upright and said, "During the Phoenician and Greek periods, that is, the Roman Republic, colonization was actually a migration."
"The lands are empty and fertile, full of tall trees. At this time, colonization is its original intention to reproduce people."
Hu Yi carefully understood and said, "This is understandable, just like the current Jilong Island, where there is no empty place, but the land is fertile and suitable for farming. The Ming Dynasty sent the exiled prisoners to Jilong Island, which is to migrate.
.”
Nikolaoz stared at Hu Yi with a bright look. No matter what Nikolaoz said, Hu Yi could immediately understand and even find an example. This is the reason why they cannot have an equal dialogue. Hu Yi really understands it very much.
.
Nikolaoz continued to speak: "In the Roman Empire era, I think the definition of colonization was to find fertile land for reclamation, and agricultural reclamation was a characteristic of that era."
Hu Yi looked at Ma Huan who was writing hard, and this news was quickly recording the content of their conversation. Hu Yi glanced at it and said, "It's not difficult to understand. There are many people in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Beizhili.
The people reached the newly opened Jing'an Road through the pass to reclaim wasteland, which was called the west entrance in the Ming Dynasty."
"The continuous increase in population has led to the inability to support so many people. The land has gradually been concentrated in the hands of a few people, resulting in the majority of people having to find new land and open up land and farm."
"I really can't find it, I can't survive anymore, so I have to stop fighting for my life on my belt. Isn't this the civil troubles that happened?"
"The seven million people of Deng Mao from Fujian are just the case of the winter casualties caused by the Fujian governor Song Zhang, and the current Sichuan case is also an example."
Ma Huan stopped writing. This was too taboo. He didn't know whether he should write it down. He looked at Hu Yi and hoped that Secretary Hu would be cautious in his words and actions.
"Write it." Hu Yi solved Ma Huan's doubts, Ma Huan was responsible for recording, and in the end he showed it to His Majesty.
He Hu Yi is a person with no virtue. Isn’t that normal?
Nikolaoz knew that Hu Yi's words were indeed taboo. As the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in the highest order, Hu Yi held the responsibility for civil chaos on the officials, which was for him.
Class betrayal.
Nikolaoz said with pain: "In the Eastern Roman period, the definition of colonization became alien rule, just like the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, although your Ming government did not recognize this."
In the last years, Eastern Rome was actually a vassal state of the Ottoman Kingdom. Even Constantine XI became the Roman emperor because of the assignment and appointment of the predecessor of the Ottoman Kingdom.
"I will find examples by myself." Hu Yi immediately thought of the stone tablet on Yashan.
The pseudo-Confucian scholars in Japan always clamored that there was no China behind Yashan, and their purpose was to steal the truth.
To be continued...
