Chapter 39 Finding the Mascot
Chapter 39 Looking for Mascot
Yun Zhao still has some desire for brothels...
I have lived for two lifetimes and never officially went to brothels. I have to say that this is a big pain point in a man’s life.
The last time I went to Mingyue Tower, I went to find Li Dingguo. Although I just secretly saw the girl Mingyue who was serving Li Dingguo's bathing, I still clearly saw the appearance of this brothel celebrity who had only seen one side.
Qian Duoduo looked unsaid... Feng Ying had a good figure, but he didn't say anything. Despite this, Yun Zhao still envied Qian Shaoshao for being able to go to the newly opened Mianyue Tower to sing and recite poems.
The brothel in fantasy is the most beautiful, and the brothel in fantasy is the most passionate. Yun Zhao knows this. He also knows that many literary works since ancient times have long made prostitutes highly literary.
After all, this is an elegant thing that literati do. If you want to go there without spending money, you can only flatter the brothel prostitutes, so as to exchange for a spring night.
Yun Zhao has always looked down on cultural people, especially after he has not verified the hardness of cultural people's bones, Yun Zhao has always sneered at them.
Especially after becoming the emperor, he became less and less fond of this group.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like scholars because he was illiterate, but he couldn't live without scholars. Therefore, whenever he saw scholars doing literature, he could not help but wonder: Will they scold me in the article?
The reason why Yun Zhao doesn’t like scholars is purely because people’s minds become complicated after reading, and it’s hard to see through them at a glance.
Overall, neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Yun Zhao were a qualified emperor.
The disaster of the country that Qian Shaoshao mentioned was actually a very small thing. In Shanxi, a rich man accidentally dug out a white stone while digging coal. The word "Dragon" was on it. Then, this guy thought he was the true dragon emperor.
He hid this stone as a treasure and began to secretly wonder whether he could become an emperor. In order to further see if Yun Zhao, the current emperor, had a tendency to die suddenly, he specially came to Yushan City.
He, a foreigner like Yushan City, naturally cannot get in without procedures. However, he heard a lot of rumors about Yun Zhao singing every night in Chang'an City, and he firmly believed that Yun Zhao would live a happy life in a few years.
Go home immediately to prepare for your great cause.
At this moment, his younger brother left for the Shenxing Department and sued his brother for the hidden dragon stone.
The Shenzheng Department investigated the "Lantian Law" and did not find any provisions on collecting dragon stones, so it scolded the local rich man's younger brother and bombed him away.
After learning about this, the rich man in the land thought that he was the chosen son of God. If he could avoid such disasters, it would be that the heavens would protect him in the dark.
Then, he recruited troops among the miners, actively planned to build his own army, ready to wait for the time to come, so as to sweep the world in one fell swoop, and finally take the position of 95...
Then, he was sued by the Grand Marshal of the Army he recruited. This time, the evidence was conclusive. This damn rich man was imprisoned. After the trial of the Ministry of Law, he believed that this guy was making trouble again and according to previous jurisprudence, he was sentenced to six years in prison.
However, he also thought he was a very dangerous guy, so he sent him to the Western Regions to open up the territory.
Or it passes through the Tsushima Strait northward and then passes through the Sea of Japan, or enters the Pacific Ocean through the Kiyoto Strait.
Or go through the Zonggu Strait, cross the Sea of Okhotsk and enter the North Pacific Ocean and finally arrive in the Americas.
Now, these three choices are not favored by Han Xiufen and Shi Lang. They agreed that they should go to Europe first and then cross the Atlantic Ocean to reach America. However, Yun Zhao was not interested in this mature route.
After all, this kind of behavior around the earth is really stupid.
The Ming Dynasty must have its own route that can directly connect with the Americas, a route that is not subject to human control.
Now, Han Xiufen has prepared an experienced crew member who wants money and lives. After choosing a battleship, he only has one mascot to board the ship. Yun Zhao feels that Liu Fugui is sure to be competent for the position of mascot.
"Since that's the case, I'll hurry to Dunhuang. At the same time, I will notify the Dunhuang Guards first and notify the Dunhuang Guards not to hurt this Liu Fugui."
Qian Shaoshao finished speaking and left in a hurry. Han Xiufen's warship was filled with all kinds of deceitful beautiful things. Just when the monsoon blows, he will be on the first large-scale maritime adventure of the Ming Dynasty.
"This Liu Fugui is so easy to use?"
As soon as Yun Zhao returned home, Qian Duoduo immediately came over to ask about Liu Fugui's affairs.
"This kind of person cannot die no matter how hard it is. He should be a person with good luck. I do this just to use waste, mainly to give some psychological comfort to the crew members who are preparing to go on the adventure."
"Yes, our family spent a lot of money on this ocean-going expedition. It should have been the Prime Minister's Office who used the national treasury to support it. Unfortunately, Zhang Guozhu's stubborn man refused and said that this was a waste without any objection. Although he had a lot of national treasury, no copper coins could be wasted.
Husband, will our family pay for this kind of thing in the future?"
Yun Zhao looked at Qian Duoduo who was much more sensible and smiled and said, "In Europe, many adventures were funded by the royal family. The origin was the travel notes of Marco Polo, a Venetian merchant during the Yuan Dynasty. It portrayed the East, that is, our Ming Dynasty, as a paradise of gold everywhere and prosperity, which caused a craze for the West to go to the East to find gold.
However, the rise of the Ottoman Empire controlled the major transportation routes of the East and the West, and wanted to tax and extort merchants who were passing through the border, and accompanied by wars and plunder of pirates. Trade between the East and the West was seriously hindered.
There were many kings, among which the Portuguese king was the most active. He paid to support many outlaws and drove sea boats to find a route that could avoid blackmail from the Ottoman Empire.
Then, that's it, they discovered the Cape of Good Hope at the end of Africa, discovered the New World, and even the Americas.
Duoduo, this kind of investment is actually a huge investment. As long as a ship succeeds, it can bring us countless wealth and an unprecedented bright future."
Qian Duoduo is a woman who has seen the sea. When her husband said so ambitiously, she couldn't help but whisper: "It's too dangerous."
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "People only saw successful explorers and saw that they made a fortune, but they didn't know that more explorers were buried in the sea. However, overall, it was worth it.
