Chapter 785 I suspect there must be a bad guy behind this guy!
Gu Chengzhi suddenly felt very tired.
It's not physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion from talking to idiots.
In the fourth year of the Zhenguan era, Shu Mingtianhuang sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.
"Now it is the sixth year of Hongwu. Why doesn't Your Highness follow the example of Shu Mingtianhuang and send another envoy to the Ming Dynasty?"
As the saying goes, "He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present."
"As far as I know, the neighboring countries of the Ming Dynasty, such as Goryeo, Annam, Siam, and Champa, have all sent envoys to study here."
"If only Japan doesn't send envoys to Ming, wouldn't Goryeo come to deal with Japan after learning Ming techniques?"
Huai Liang's heart tightened, and he immediately shouted, "Send! We must send a Ming envoy! I will arrange for someone to go to the capital of Ming immediately."
As Prince Kaneyoshi's words fell, Gu Chengzhi felt even more exhausted.
"Do not send him to the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
Gu Chengzhi advised helplessly, "Send an envoy to Dengzhou to pay a visit to that guy named Yang Dianfeng, and give him the most valuable tribute."
Huai Liang was slightly taken aback, but then he reacted and gave Gu Chengzhi a thumbs up, saying, "Yoshi, Kinnosuke, your plan is absolutely brilliant!"
"Going to Dengzhou to find Yang the Madman is much closer than going to Quanzhou and then to the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
“The Ming people value their reputation. We should go see him first and present him with tribute. That madman Yang will surely entertain our envoy.”
"But he doesn't know that this is a scheme you used to sow discord between him and the Ming emperor."
"Kirin-kun, yours is huge!"
Gu Chengzhi smiled and added, "The prince can also arrange for someone to bring some Japanese swords to the border market in Dengzhou to sell. They will definitely be able to fetch a high price."
……
Yang Shaofeng held a handful of scorpion claws in his hand, occasionally throwing a couple into his mouth and chewing them with a crunching sound.
Zhu Biao followed Yang Shaofeng, imitating him as he ate scorpion claws. His mouth was covered in a black smear, making him look nothing like the gentle and refined Crown Prince. Instead, he looked like someone's silly fool.
Liu Sanshier, clutching a small cloth bag, walked alongside Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Biao, muttering, "The village is still the same old mess this year. Many idiots are still stubbornly planting sorghum, beans, and string beans."
“The kids at the county school say that mushrooms can be grown in dugouts, but some greenhouses should be cleared out and replaced with double-glazed ones to grow vegetables.”
"These dogs have had too many good days, and they're still thinking about eating vegetables in winter, not caring how expensive glass is. They're living such a life of luxury that they're committing a sin."
“Those officials who passed the imperial examinations in Nanjing have all learned to farm now, and they no longer complain about being tired.”
"By the way, the capital is called Nanjing. What face does that wretched place Bianliang have to be called Beijing?"
"As for Bianliang, the Song Dynasty did control Bianliang as its capital, but they called Bianliang Tokyo, and they didn't gain anything from it."
"Otherwise, Your Excellency should advise the Emperor to simply rename Dadu as Beijing and then change our Ningyang to Zhongjing?"
"Our Ningyang is conveniently located between Dadu and Nanjing."
"Moreover, using Dadu as Beijing is not a bad choice. Look at the Yuan dynasty. Although they didn't do anything particularly good, they still destroyed countless countries. Using Dadu as Beijing is much better than those cowards of the Song dynasty using Bianliang as Tokyo."
"..."
Liu Thirty-Two's ramblings became increasingly outrageous, leaving Zhu Biao completely dumbfounded.
No.
I only ate a little bit of scorpion claws from your Ningyang County, and you want to steal the name of Zhongjing from my hometown Fengyang?
Where the hell can I go to seek justice?!
Furthermore, you said that the Song Dynasty didn't suffer any great losses by making Bianliang the capital, but now my father makes Bianliang the capital. Isn't that just a kind of irony?
Ningyang County is a rather abnormal place.
The people of Ningyang County are also somewhat abnormal!
Zhu Biao was internally cursing, while Yang Shaofeng scolded him with a dark face: "Stop spouting nonsense here, you dog. Although what you said is not wrong, the location of the capital is something His Majesty has to consider. How can we let you talk nonsense here?"
Oh, so Liu Thirty-Two's nonsense is right, isn't it?
So, brother-in-law, you're also eyeing Zhongjing's reputation, right?
Furthermore, Liu Sanshier only knows about a thousand characters at most. It would be difficult for him to even write the four characters "Liu Sanshier". So where did he get the knowledge to talk about this and that capital city so fluently?
I suspect that Liu Thirty-Two must have a bad guy behind him!
Zhu Biao remained silent with a dark expression, while Yang Shaofeng began to wonder if there was something wrong with the name Tokyo.
The Zhongyuan Gang, which uses Tokyo as its name, once had a member named Wanyan Zonghan who caused the Jingkang Incident.
There's a Tokyo over there in Japan, and a woman named Li Mei once organized a Tokyo barbecue party.
This shows that there is definitely something seriously wrong with the name Tokyo.
If we calculate it that way, Bianliang was also called Nanjing during the Jin Dynasty.
Then there's Jinling, also known as Nanjing.
Yang Shaofeng's eyes gradually sharpened.
We still need to get the Dengzhou Shipyard to build more ocean-going vessels.
Let the short, ugly guys suffer, and let Shi Hang the bald monk and Gu Chengzhi bear the infamy.
Just as Yang Shaofeng was pondering how to completely eliminate the short and ugly man, Zhu Biao suddenly stopped, turned to look at Liu Thirty-Two, and asked, "What did you just say? Double-glazed windows? Growing vegetables in a greenhouse?"
Liu Thirty-Two raised his voice.
Is using double-glazed windows the key point?
Is growing vegetables in a greenhouse the key point?
The key point is whether Ningyang County can become part of Zhongjing...
Liu Sanshier was internally ranting, while Zhu Biao looked at Yang Shaofeng and asked, "Has the glass workshop improved its glassmaking technology again?"
Yang Shaofeng swallowed all the scorpion claws in his mouth and said, "I don't know. I haven't been paying attention to the glass workshop lately."
Summer is almost here.
Even if I can't go to Dengzhou Prefecture right away and then go out to sea to wipe out those short and ugly people, I'm more concerned about the cicadas in the fields.
As for the glass workshop, the iron smelting workshop, and the steam engine workshop?
All I need to do is provide a general direction and a sufficient budget. The rest will naturally be taken care of by the top craftsmen. I don't need to do anything about it.
After all, I am an outsider and it is not appropriate for me to meddle in matters that are the expertise of professionals.
Seeing Yang Shaofeng's completely self-righteous expression, Zhu Biao was almost driven mad with anger.
Glass is ridiculously expensive in the border market, so why does it seem like nobody cares about it in Ningyang County?
Also, using double-glazed windows will definitely provide better insulation.
Good insulation means that it can withstand severe cold without affecting the amount of light.
If this were placed on the grasslands or in Liaodong, its function would be much better than simply using it for growing vegetables and building greenhouses.
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't sit still any longer.
"Let's go, let's hurry to the glass workshop."
