It was the contacts in North India that would bring him what he wanted most.

War horse.

Mawarima.

This is arguably the most perfect war horse in the East.

It can fight in the ice and snow of the plateau, as well as in the hot and humid swamps of South Asia. Its food is not as delicate as the European horse, but its body size is not much smaller than the latter.

It is completely possible to deceive the Delhi Sultanate and coax them to provide a small amount of Marwari horses to the Ming Dynasty on the pretext of collaborating against Timur, and then crossbreed them in the Ming Dynasty. This thing does not need to be shipped by sea. As long as the Delhi Sultanate is willing to provide it, it can go.

Uzang entered the Ming Dynasty by land...

They will agree.

Because the biggest enemy of the Delhi Sultanate was Timur.

They were also destroyed by Timur's descendants.

At this time, it was the Tughluq dynasty. They were defeated by Timur shortly after in the Battle of Delhi. The latter sacked Delhi and then collapsed and soon perished. At this time, they could get help from the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful empire in the East.

They are absolutely willing to sacrifice horses. At this time, Timur also professed his vassalage to Zhu Yuanzhang. As long as he told the Delhi Sultanate this, and then told them that as long as Timur beats them, Ming Dynasty would uphold justice for them, so donate a few hundred horses.

What is a horse?

Nothing else matters.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang does not encourage trade with Nanyang is actually not that complicated.

One is that he does not want to export too much and cause domestic rice-producing areas to become cash crops. The other reason is that he has too much pepper in his hands...

Okay, that's just too much.

After all, pepper has a very long shelf life, and dried peppercorns can be dried regularly for more than ten years. Therefore, the pepper from the Yuan Dynasty's overseas trade was still piled in Zhu Yuanzhang's warehouse in the early Ming Dynasty. Tang Heguang confiscated more than 6,000 kilograms when he conquered Fuzhou. After that, Sanfoqi

These small Southeast Asian countries still paid large amounts of tribute every year, or came to trade under the guise of paying tribute. As a result, pepper accumulated more and more, so much so that Zhu Yuanzhang once wanted to replace salt with pepper.

That is to say, merchants were asked to transport grain to the frontier in exchange for pepper and then sell pepper.

But the import rights rest with him.

That is to say, the state monopolizes the import of pepper, and merchants can be lured to transport grain to the frontier, and then sell it in exchange for pepper from the government.

But it didn't work.

So much so that he piled up millions of peppers, so he simply used them as rewards. Once in the twelfth year of Hongwu, he rewarded each soldier in the capital with three kilograms, and the reward was more than one million kilograms. Later, Zhu Di actually picked up the game he played during this period.

.

But later Zhu Yuanzhang found a more advanced method of printing treasure banknotes.

So pepper is useless to him.

Zhu Di had to change to pepper because he couldn't play with treasure coins.

"Ambassador Yang, what are you talking about and why are you afraid that we will hear it?"

Mrs. Zhu said enchantingly.

Yang Feng turned around and leaned over...

"I'm asking Zhang Hanlin if there are any places to have fun in Suzhou."

He lowered his head while holding the window and said.

"Do you know about Zhang Hanlin?"

Mrs. Zhu covered her mouth with a fan and said with a smile.

"I don't know!"

"Of course he doesn't know. He is an official of the imperial court. If he dares to go to a place like this, his black gauze hat will be in danger."

"Then it's a pity. Suzhou is such a big city. I can't even find a place to have fun. Well, madam, don't think too much. I just want to find a place to listen to songs, watch dancing, and

There is no other meaning, it was a serious entertainment activity at that time.

Those who are good at singing have a bright future."

"If that's the case, I have a separate business here. They also have singers and musicians in their homes. I won't go and live there. The ambassador will have to stay in Suzhou for a few days, so I will lend it to the ambassador.

Staying with Zhang Hanlin and borrowing some singers and musicians from their home will save the ambassador from loneliness."

Mrs. Zhu said with a red face.

"How can this be so embarrassing? Aren't we the magpie's nest?"

Yang Feng said.

While speaking, he also lowered his head, so that the two of them were even closer, and they could almost reach him when he breathed out hot breath.

"I didn't live there originally. I came here to visit my cousin, so naturally I stayed at my cousin's place."

Mrs. Zhu blushed even more as she spoke.

"Then I'm being disrespectful?"

Yang Feng said with a mysterious smile.

Mrs. Zhu patted his hand three times with a small ball fan, and then quickly sat up straight...

"I'm going to visit friends tonight too!"

Zhang Xianzong came to Yang Feng's side, looked at Mrs. Zhu who was walking away, and said seriously.

"Go ahead, you don't have to come back tonight!"

Yang Feng didn't even look at him, he waved his hand outward a few times and said.

"I still have to remind you, it's best not to mess with this woman."

Zhang Xianzong said helplessly.

"I didn't provoke her, she was the one who started it."

Yang Feng said.

Zhang Xianzong was speechless and had no choice but to leave by himself.

Then a maid came over and took Yang Feng to the villa, which was actually a courtyard with a garden pool in the city. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a strict household registration system. People outside the local household registration were not allowed to buy land or houses. Only merchants could send their property to other places.

Registration or Leqian means moving the household registration. This should be a businessman raised by her family, purchased in Suzhou in the name of a merchant. This is a handicraft center, and those powerful families have dedicated domestic slaves to do business in Suzhou. This is natural.

It is indispensable to purchase a separate property. After all, once the owner comes to inspect, he cannot not have a place to live.

Can I still live in a commercial building?

There were also housekeepers and maids here, and they immediately arranged everything for him, including fine wine and delicious food. After he was full, he was sent to the thermal pavilion deep in the garden. By this time, it had started to rain. Although it was not heavy, it was still very continuous. The thermal pavilion was a little brighter at night.

There are candles burning one after another, and the candlelight flickers in uncertain brightness.

Ambassador Yang, who was bathing and changing under the service of a maid, lay comfortably on the short couch with his eyes closed and meditative.

Soon he opened his eyes...

"Where are the people? Where have they gone? Didn't I come to listen to songs and watch dancing? What about the singing and dancing people?"

he shouted dissatisfied.

The door of the Nuan Pavilion was closed, and the surroundings were empty. Even the candles were extinguished. Only the lanterns outside let in some light, and the maids were gone.

The wind from outside blew in, blowing the curtains. The sound of wind was accompanied by the sound of rain, and for a moment it felt like a ghost movie...

"If this squeaks..."

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

next moment……

"Squeak!"

The originally closed door of the conservatory slowly opened.

A long black shadow instantly cast in, and a figure holding an umbrella stood in front of the door. Her long skirt reached the floor, and her clothes were fluttering. In the light behind her, the wind blew her long hair, which was slowly lifting under the umbrella.

At first, a pale face appeared...

"Sir, are you waiting for me?"

She said in a very ethereal voice.

"Can you change your style?"

Yang Feng said sadly.

The latter let out a sinister laugh, then threw the umbrella and rushed towards him. Ambassador Yang was suddenly possessed by Zhong Kui and tackled the female ghost. He held her down instantly and then took out his belt.

Just start tying it up...
