Chapter 823 Gold Mines Everywhere


According to common sense, if there are foreign envoys entering Beijing, the history of the assassination should be reported layer by layer, and the Honglu Temple has made preparations in advance, but the problem is that the Ming State was created in a grass, the system is not perfect, and a considerable number of assassins are not in accordance with the normal way of electing officials, but in line with Yang Yan's eyes, appointed by him, and the arbitrariness is greater.

This part of the réndà originated from the army, how can there be any concept of receiving foreign envoys, as long as it is not a foreign invasion, turn a blind eye, even Yang Yan himself never thought of such a thing, but Zhang Jun, who was in the remote west, because Liangzhou often had trade with the Western Regions, there was a precedent to follow, so he issued customs clearance documents to the Sassanid envoys.

Since passing through Liangzhou, almost no one has been to ask the mission, and from Shangti, there is a toll station, but the mission of the toll station is to collect fees, as long as the money is paid, it is impossible to interrogate more, so from Shangtai to Sanguan, Guanzhong counties, Chang'an, Tongguan, Hangu, until Luoyang, the mission is unimpeded, in addition to passing through a lot of money.

Since the completion of the pavilion in Luoyang, no one has ever moved in, the Sasanian mission is still the first time, the houses, furniture are brand new, the group of curious east touch, west touch.

"Oh, my Great Ming Venerable, this is a mirror mirror, how can it be so clear" Someone picked up the mirror and looked at himself repeatedly, screaming one after another.

Now that mirrors are almost popular in the Ming Kingdom, the price has naturally fallen from heaven to dust, from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars at every turn, to hundreds to thousands of dollars, which makes Jiangdong Shi, who had a mirror too early, want to vomit blood, but for ordinary people, it is natural to raise their hands and feet to welcome.

Some people became interested in the coal stove, opened the pottery urn, opened the iron plate and saw that the honeycomb coal was burning with a light blue flame, emitting warm heat, there was no smoke, there was no crackling sound, and it seemed that it would not be consumed, and after staring at it for a while, the honeycomb coal had not changed significantly.

"Look, this is paper, oh, my Great Ming Zun, the paper of the Ming people is white and tough, more than a hundred times better than our papyrus, our Sassanid Empire must get the method of making paper" With a roar, everyone gathered around, their eyes were green, flashing with greed, in their eyes, the Ming country was full of gold mines, waiting for themselves to discover.

There are also people who take out quill pens and dip them in ink, recording the items and technologies that will be requested from the Ming Kingdom one by one.

That night, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, almost everyone was excited and insomnia.

At noon the next day, Honglu Temple Dahonglu Chenghua came to visit.

This person's ancestor Hua Xin, is considered a famous family, his father Hua Hui, the official to the middle secretary during the Taikang period, after Yang Jun took power, several ups and downs, died in the service, Guanglu doctor, Shang Shuling in office, his brother Hua Heng, in Jiangdong as Jin Ziguanglu doctor, leading the prince Taibao, succeeded Lu Ye as Yangzhou Dazhongzheng.

After the Ming army destroyed Liu Yao, he went to Luoyang to find Xi Jian, and Xi Jian recommended it to Yang Yan.

This person is exaggerated, his words are vague, and if he wants to say that he has strengths, he did not take refuge in Liu Yao when he wandered in Guanzhong, which is a bit of integrity, so Yang Yan gave a vacant position of Da Honglu Cheng, with a rank of more than Qianshi, as Da Honglu's deputy, on behalf of Wang Han.

Of course, Hua Chao was dissatisfied, thinking that Yang Yan despised him, but he was still sensible, first, his brother Hua Heng was only in Jiangdong, and he did not have any real power, so Yangzhou Dazhong was originally a prominent position, but the Sima family and the Jiangdong Shi clan were seriously opposed, this position was the same as nothing, and he may not have a good time when he went to Jiangdong.

At the beginning of his entry into the government, Yang Yan gave him a three-entry mansion, and occupied the land with his rank, plus the annual year-end bonus, as long as it was not too luxurious, he hired three or five maidservants, raised a few concubines, had fish and meat every day, and had a car when he went out, and his life was still very good.

If he resigns, he will have to live on the streets again, or be cheeky to fight relatives and friends, so it is a good choice whether to stay in his idle job and put his hopes on his children, or not to be fed in anger.

Under the communication of the interpreter, Hua Ming learned that the leading old man's name was Sinrad, the head of the envoy group, and was ordered by the Sassanid Emperor Shapur II to send an envoy to the Ming Kingdom to repair the trade routes between the two countries that had been interrupted due to their respective civil strife, and the other main figure was the Manichaean bishop Felix, who came to the Ming Kingdom and naturally had the heavy responsibility of preaching.

Manichaeism, also known as Mingjiao in the post-secular world, came from Judaism and jidujiào, and after the localization and transformation of Persia, it quickly became a world religion that was not inferior to Jidujiào at that time, and was stronger than Buddhism.

"I don't know what specific requirements your envoy has, this official can hand over the great Honglu on his behalf, and the king will make a decision."

Hua Ban is an authentic scholar, and he doesn't have much interest in Sassanid and other countries, and after learning about the situation, he asked.

Sinrad handed the list to Hua Chao from the translator's hand, and said through the translator: "The Sassanid Empire is willing to make friends with the Ming Kingdom for generations and communicate with each other, and we hope to obtain the technology listed above, and will purchase a batch of silk, hoping that your country will provide convenience." ” Hua Bang looked at the list and gasped, there are steel-making, paper-making, glass mirrors and four-wheeled carriage manufacturing technology, there are more than ten items, and even asked for the introduction of silkworm cocoons, this is really a lion's big mouth.

Even if he does not have a sense of protection of intellectual property rights, he also knows that Sasan's requirements are too excessive, taking steelmaking as an example, Yang Yan ignores the existing forging and steelmaking methods of the people, but the casting steel components are strictly confidential, and the rest of the industries related to people's livelihood such as papermaking, edible oil and alkali making, the technology of oil refining, glass and four-wheeled carriage is not open to the people, and is still monopolized by state-owned enterprises.

As a member of the bureaucratic class, there are year-end bonuses and dividends every year, and on important holidays, some rice oil, cloth, alkali, salt and sugar and other daily necessities will also be distributed.

As soon as Sinrad saw Hua Ming's expression, he turned around and grabbed a handful of silver coins from the pocket of his attendant and stuffed it into Hua Ming's hand.

The interpreter said from the side: "A small meaning, not a tribute." ” Hua Ba was speechless, your mother, can you not be so rude in bribes, isn't this forcing the old man to refuse the bribe, and then looked at those silver coins, and his face showed disdain.

There are about dozens of silver coins in this hand, different from the silver coins of the Ming Kingdom, the Sasanian silver coins are thin and light, engraved with a bearded head, not only can not circulate in the Ming Dynasty, but also weigh only about half of the silver coins of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, if it is cast in pure silver, it is worth five gold coins in the sky, and his annual income, together with salaries, annual rewards, year-end bonuses and the output of the grange, is between 600,000 and 700,000 yuan, and what is paid is only on time, twice a month, this is really a person sitting at home, and the money comes from the sky.

Once he collects the money, with Liu Kui's cool official style, as long as he finds out, he will be ironclad, even if he is not punished, he will be dismissed from office, lose everything, only accept bribes of five gold coins, but bear the risk of losing his annual income of six or seven hundred gold coins, normal people know how to choose. 。
