Chapter 103 Don't run away

A month later, Wang Shouren returned to the capital with his envoy.

He went to the palace to pay the imperial edict to Emperor Hongzhi. This time he went on an envoy, he negotiated a very good price. Siam was willing to exchange 500,000 stones of rice every year for 400,000 kilograms of iron tools from the Ming Dynasty.

In order to strengthen the close cooperative relationship between the two sides, Ayutaya's royal family also sent people to give 10,000 stones of rice to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shouren was named Hanlin editor by Emperor Hongzhi and finally got a title.

Yan Chengjin found that this guy didn't seem to have changed much: "Boan, congratulations on your promotion."

"Thanks to Brother Gao for giving me the opportunity."

Wang Shouren showed a thoughtful look and said ashamed: "This time I went to Siam, I went down to a temple and sat quietly for a day."

There were many temples in Siam. Before the old was destroyed and the new was established, Wang Shouren almost asked everyone how to become a saint, especially if he liked to communicate with Taoist priests and monks.

Yan Chengjin was not surprised.

Wang Shouren said humbly: "Brother Gao is very talented. I have a question below to ask, can you learn about things?"

"You communicated with the monk and had a new understanding?"

"They speak Siamese, I can't understand the next sentence."

“…………”

After studying in the Ministry of Works for a while, Yan Chengjin has now been promoted from a circle to the structure of a house that can draw. Wang Shouren often stared at the house he drew for a long time.

In Fengtian Palace,

Emperor Hongzhi is wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown today. He sits upright on the imperial throne, with domineering and majestic inviolable.

He usually has kind eyes, but today he has to pretend to be very cruel because the Tatar envoy is coming to meet the saint.

The Ming Dynasty exported a large amount of iron tools to the qian, Siam, Tubo and other places, but they did not sell them to the Tatars. The Tatars were immediately anxious.

In desperation, Dayan Khan decided to send envoys to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty and exchanged iron tools with the Ming Dynasty for horses, cattle and sheep.

All officials were listed in the hall and stood solemnly.

Xiao Jing shouted: "Urus Borot, the envoy of Tatars!"

A Tatar man with a small braid and white animal skin walked into the hall with Kong Wu's powerful steps and saluted in the way of the Tatars: "Dear Emperor Ming, I am the sixteenth generation grandson of Genghis Khan, the son of Dayan Khan, Urus Borot! We are willing to exchange iron tools with the Ming Dynasty with horses, cattle and sheep. I wonder what the Emperor Ming Dynasty intended?"

Emperor Hongzhi listened quietly, and naturally he didn't need to speak in this kind of scene. All officials would also criticize him. Seeing Urus Borot would have given him enough face.

The first thing that the Ming Dynasty said was that Xie Qianxian fired: "The Tatars invaded my Ming border and kidnapped our garrison. The two countries faced each other's weapons, and life and death were not tolerated. You came uninvited and stepped into the territory of our Ming Dynasty. It has violated the prestige of our Ming Dynasty. How can you respect it!"

Urus Borot smiled indifferently: "There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that it is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. I, Urus Borot, heard that the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so I came uninvited."

Xie Qian also smiled: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is as sweet as honey. You Tatars simply want to use the iron tools of the Ming Dynasty to melt them into soldiers and invade our Ming Dynasty again. Your ambition is clear. The Ming Dynasty never makes friends with those who want to invade the Ming Dynasty."

Urus Borot laughed: "I heard that there was a minister named Xie Qian in the Ming Dynasty. He was eloquent, right?"

Xie Qian smiled even more unrestrainedly and shouted: "That's right, my official surname is Xie, and I'll just have a single name!"

Urus Borot laughed to the sky: "There are no eternal enemies in the world? The Ming Dynasty's war horses are not as good as my Tatars. If you exchange war horses with our dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can also get benefits, why not?"

Xie Qian Fuxu laughed: "Today, the Tatars give me war horses, and I give me weapons, and then I ride your war horses. You Tatars hold our weapons, and fight against each other on the battlefield?"

Urus Borot stopped laughing.

The censor beside him was impatient, Mr. Xie, please let me say a few words!

The second prince of Tatar would not be so irritable that he could not speak. He was so weak in combat, so why did he have the nerve to be an envoy? The censors are really anxious for him!

Urus Borot looked at Emperor Hongzhi: "Our ancestor Genghis Khan is the owner of this territory. You stole our land, and we are just taking back our own land."

Xie Qian was not anxious or slow, and said quietly: "Thousands of years ago, I, Han people, grew up on this land. The thieves called for catching the thief, and it was worthy of your enemy's actions."

Urus Borot wanted to kill this man: "The Ming army god is old and has no reliance. Sooner or later, your Ming Dynasty will be my Tatars' possession."

Wang Yue could no longer bear it and stood up angrily: "Who did you say is old? I remember you. If you have any cultivation, don't run away!"

The Ming Dynasty War God!

Urus Borot was so shocked that he subconsciously touched the knife on his waist, but when he entered the palace, the knife had been taken away long ago.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and signaled Wang Yue to retreat to his position, stood up, and carried his hands on his back: "Go back and tell Batu Mengke that it is impossible to want the Ming Dynasty iron weapon. If you want to start a war, ask him to try it." After that, he left with his hands on his back.

All the officials knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully to His Majesty.

The censors were reluctant to leave, and they didn't even get into the conversation, so they scattered.

They couldn't help but secretly scold Urus Borot as a fool. Before you come, you wouldn't ask about what Mr. Xie did. He wouldn't even make a draft with him. Are you looking for shit with a lantern?

Urus Borot walked out of the hall in disappointment. He did not dare to cause trouble on the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Although the two armies were fighting and did not kill them, if they took the initiative to provoke, it would be a different matter.

The Ministry of Works, in a room.

Yan Chengjin is practicing writing impeachment memorials. The target of impeachment was Wang Shouren. After finishing writing, he reviewed and commented to his teacher Xu Shu.

Of course it is not really impeachment, but just treating Wang Shouren as an imaginary enemy. It is fair to use you to attack me and I will attack you.

Wang Shouren didn't care.

He has become accustomed to getting along with Yan Chengjin.

Zeng Jian, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, called Yan Chengjin out and said to him: "Do you know that the Tatars sent envoys?"

"Hanyuan is in full swing, and it is difficult for the lower-ranking officials to not know about it."

Yan Chengjin heard that Dayan Khan sent his second son to the Ming Dynasty to discuss business.

The censor complained that Da Yankhan's second son was useless and the talk broke down. If he were born in the Ming Dynasty, he would have been impeached.

However, Da Yanhan is really a person who can bend and stretch. While fighting with Da Ming, he also put his face down to do business.

Zeng Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Not only Tatars, Tufan and Annan have come, and they all have to book a new batch of iron tools. In the short term, the Ministry of Works can not produce iron tools from the Three Kingdoms. Your Majesty said that you cannot favor one and the other, and it is also a fault that I did not consider it thoroughly. The Ministry of Works has not taken good care of this aspect. I know you have many ideas, hehe."

Cultivation is imminent, and with sharp iron tools, we can reclaim wasteland and increase grain production. No country will rush to seek the iron tools of the Ming Dynasty first.

Zeng Jian showed hope: "Is there any way for my nephew?"
