[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

The tea enters the throat. As a fermented tea, Pu-erh tea is fragrant and mellow, with a clear and soft taste and a mild bitterness. It is relatively easy for children to adapt to, but if possible, children still want to drink sweet juice. .

Fortunately, the eldest brother/little nephew who knew them was very foresighted. Everyone was only given a small cup, and the taste was gone, and the rest was filled with water.

Before the children protested, a light came on in the dimly lit room, and a map of the Ming Kingdom appeared on the white cloth propped up at some point.

Starting from the East China Sea in the east, bordering Champa and Annan in the south, extending to the snow-covered Goguryeo in the north, and extending to the Indian subcontinent in the west, today's Ming territory is so large that it is unimaginable for people living in this land.

Unlike the children who became noisy in an instant, the eyes of the ten heavenly officials serving sentences in the prison were all fixed on the map.

In today's era, not everyone is qualified to read maps, but the officials present are all heads of a locality, so naturally they all have this right.

They never felt that the maps they didn't want to see because of studying the layout and defense in the past were so charming, and at this moment they firmly attracted their attention.

The courtiers who have been frightened and shocked at the family banquet will feel that they have found an ally if they see the current scene.

That's right, their expressions were so stupid at the time!

But after a while, they will become a little proud again, because although their expressions were as silly as before, the scene they saw was not at the same level as the current one.

In comparison, he still won.

If Mu Bai knew what they were thinking, he would roll his eyes.

Can it be the same? At the beginning, he was doing overseas trade with Emperor Hongwu, and it was a family banquet, so naturally he spent much more effort.But now, he is just introducing Daming and his neighboring countries to the juniors, so naturally he doesn't have so many tricks.

In order to save trouble, Mu Bai directly took a glass plate coated with colloidal ink as a projection, and then painted on it with a brush.

Brush juice is not so easy to dry up on the glass. After writing, just soak it in a basin of water to wash it off. As long as you don't rub it hard, it will not affect the substrate at all, and it can be used repeatedly.

It's really great to use this as a board!

On the board, Mu Bai focused on describing the various neighbors in the north, one by one, the love and hatred between these little princes and grandchildren who have never left the court and Daming.

In order to make it easier for children to understand, Mu Bai simply and rudely defines the relationship between the two parties into five categories: hatred, unkindness, commonness, friendliness, and neck-cutting.

It's a pity that the relationship coefficient between all the neighbors in the whole north and Daming is listed below the normal line, and everyone hates each other.

The young boys were all shocked, is Daming that bad?No one makes friends with us

This kind of thinking is wrong, Mu Bai shook his finger: "Sometimes, people don't become friends with us not because we have done anything wrong, on the contrary, it is because we have done nothing wrong that they are unfriendly to us .”

"Friends need to pay a certain price, and the price paid between countries is even heavier. For example, Da Ming sincerely made friends with all the people who came to pay tribute every time, so he spent a lot of effort to bring them from the border to Ying Tianfu. Give them a great treat and send them off. But some people don't want that."

"What they want is not your friendliness, but your flesh and blood, your blood, your land and people. Can we give them?"

The little bean dings were excited: "No!" "No!" "Beat them!"

Mu Bai nodded, very good, Emperor Hongwu has excellent genes, and his little uncles have normal heads.

A child raised his little meaty hand high: "Because we can't meet their demands, they won't be friends with us?"

"Yes." Mu Bai nodded.

"Well," the little Huangsun thought for a moment, and said with a sad face: "That's great, we don't want this kind of friend, since they want to be enemies, then we can only satisfy him!" Said Well, the child carefully copied all the names of the countries that appeared on the white cloth.

Join the little notebook that bears vengeance.jpg

Another little prince reached out and tugged at Mu Bai's sleeve: "Brother, do we have any friends in the south?"

"The south...is there." Mu Bai drew two circles in the lower right corner of the map: "This is the big and small Ryukyu Kingdom, a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, a small island country, and its main products are marine products. and fruit."

"Their lord admires Ming's culture very much, and they send tribute teams every year." After a pause, Mu Bai specially added: "The quality of the tribute is excellent."

Cough cough, this must be said emphatically, the little princes also hate these neighbors who came to fight the autumn wind, and when they heard this supplementary expression, they immediately became more friendly.

The reaction of this group of princes and grandchildren made the officials silent. Their mood at the moment was the same as that of the rich but keen on bargaining guards who complained about the emperor Sun Mingming before. They were extremely speechless.

A courtier couldn't help saying that the vassal state's tribute was really sincere, and that it was not beautiful to pursue value too much, and was immediately pushed back by the little princes.

"We are the superior country, and when we come to pay tribute, we worship the power of the superior country. If we want to learn from our country's experience to nurture ourselves, I heard that folk apprentices have to wear Shuxiu. Have you ever heard that students can eat and get what they want, Mr. The reason for leaving home?"

This, although this is the truth, but it cannot be said that way.People who come all the way to participate in the event are also doing Daming face, so there must be a reward, right?

award?The little emperors and grandchildren curled their lips, isn't it a reward to see the emperor of Ming Dynasty?Even in Daming, there are many subjects who have never met the Holy Spirit!

"..." Got it, they got it, this group of princes and grandchildren are all Tyrannosaurus rex, should it be said that they are the descendants of Emperor Hongwu?This character, this temper...

Everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on the silent little Huangsun. Although the little Huangsun didn't say anything, the half-satisfied smile on his face already showed his attitude.

His Highness the Crown Prince has such a gentle and benevolent character, how could the eldest grandson of the emperor have such a temper?It feels like this one has grown up to be a Hongwu Emperor again!

Civil servants all had headaches, but the eyes of officials who were born as generals could not help but light up. The character of the emperor determines the style of the dynasty. From their point of view, they naturally prefer aggressive and aggressive emperors. They just need to keep their heads down. Just rush forward, it couldn't be more enjoyable.

However, the complexions of a few people immediately darkened, showing wry smiles, what's the use of thinking so much, given their current situation, there is no future.

Mu Bai sat next to the projector, which was the darkest place in the room, and he could see everyone's expressions clearly. Seeing everyone's appearance, he blinked, and felt that the time had come, so he clapped his hands to attract everyone Note: "Your crimes are still under investigation. I want you to say something right now. You have never stamped corrupt people with nothing. Please raise your hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few hands were raised up, none of the ten heavenly officials fell down, all raised their hands, Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, very satisfied with the result.

At the same time, he was also thankful that he and his grandfather made this bet. After successfully persuading the officials to vote for the opening of the northern mutual market, Emperor Hongwu seemed to have discovered from this event that his grandson had also grown into a perfect labor force. , trying every means to enslave poor Mu Xiaobai.

Xiaobai, who was unwilling to bow to the evil forces, made a bet with Yeyou. Grandpa bet that the captured chief envoy officials would make money by using empty seals, while Mubai bet if they didn’t. If they lost, Mubai would have to go If you have done nothing but win...according to the previous agreement, the labor will belong to Mu Xiaobai.

However, Mubai exchanged another condition with Emperor Hongwu with half of the labor force.

Now, it's time for Mu Xiaobai to claim his prize!

He pondered for a moment, asked a few questions, and after everyone answered one by one, he basically had a number in his mind, and immediately recorded the names of several people in the small book.

Mu Wen came over to take a look, confused and found that the records recorded by his brother were all older officials. As Mu Bai's beloved younger brother, he naturally knew about the bet between his brother and grandpa, so he was immediately puzzled.

"Why not young ones? Wen'er thinks the ones from Sichuan are very good." On the land back to the palace, Mu Wen asked while shaking his elder brother's hand.

"Because I don't only want to use them." Mu Bai said very calmly what Grandet said: "The families of the officials I wrote down have young children and grandchildren who are studying, and let the old people complete the work." For such a difficult and tiring task, their family members must be worried, and [-]% of them will be accompanied by students or descendants."

Mu Bai squeezed his younger brother's hand and smiled cunningly: "Although these people have done foolish things, they can keep the bottom line in their hearts. With their behavior like this, I believe their family's education must be good. Anyone who dares to take this challenge , Courage and filial piety must also be good, and ninety-nine percent of such people can be talented in governing the country."

"Brother, I heard a saying, it was said by a guy named Han Fei."

"Someone asked him what standard should be adopted for the appointment and dismissal of officials, and he replied: the prime minister is from the state shepherd, and the general is from the army." After a pause, Mu Bai explained to a few confused children: " In Han Fei's time, the state was equivalent to our chief envoy, and the pastor was in charge of one place. Therefore, his opinion is that officials who want to become prime ministers must have been local officials and have practical management experience Yes, in the same way, to become a general who leads an army in battle, he must be naturally selected from the army.”

"No matter how much theoretical knowledge you have, no matter how talented you are, you still have to rely on practical experience in governing the country." Mu Bai curled the corner of his mouth, unconsciously revealing a bit of pride: "So, don't look at brother now There are only half of them, but it won't take long, brother, there will be ten talents or even more hehehe!"

But... Mu Wen opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, tilted his head, and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Brother... have you forgotten?The imperial grandfather only gave you five people, no matter how many good students those five people teach, they are still the talents of the imperial grandfather.

Mu Xiaowen glanced at his brother's smug face, and knew that it was dark under the lights.

But Mu Wen didn't say anything, his elder brother has been busy with his homework recently, he hasn't been this happy for a long time, let him be happy for a while longer!

Xiao Douding, who was only six years old this year, patted his elder brother's hand like an adult, full of consolation.

In September of the 16th year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu celebrated his 55th birthday. On the eve of the birthday banquet, he put a stop to the previously disturbing cases.

This major corruption case that shocked the whole country only punished the culprits, and the merchants who bought the stolen grain were restricted to pay the same amount of rice grain within three years. "Da Ming's Office in XX Country", they will become a bridge between Daming and the vassal states in the future, facilitating the smooth progress of Ming's diplomatic activities.

Yes, although they were not exiled, this punishment is even more heart-wrenching than exile. These people were directly sent to foreign countries on business!

In a foreign country, the language, clothing, living habits, and even the water and soil are completely different. This is really life-threatening!

What's more, I have no idea what this office is for or how to work, and it's in someone else's territory. Everything has to be started from scratch, and the difficulty of survival is no less than that of exile.

Of course, Emperor Hongwu also knew that this task was really embarrassing for everyone, so it was rare for him to say with a pleasant face that I know you are very sad. How about this, I will allow you to bring your sons or students, and the state will cover all the board and lodging. How about it, I am Not very generous?

Generous XX!

All the courtiers fell to the ground to thank them, endured it, but couldn't hold it back, tears burst out.
