- Tang Bohu had just sent Minister Andre away when Liu Ping, the governor of Wudu, Japan, came to visit.
"Master Tang!"
Liu Ping¡¯s attire is almost indistinguishable from that of people from the Ming Dynasty. The moon-shaped headband that was popular among the Japanese gentry has now disappeared, and even the clothes he wears follow the trends of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Ping is wearing the most popular clothes of the Ming Dynasty, and has a precious watch on his hand that is unparalleled by the country's scholars. He also wears a jade pendant from Burma on his waist like the literati of the Ming Dynasty. His words and deeds are no different from those of the Ming Dynasty.
When saluting Tang Bohu, it was also in accordance with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty officialdom. They had learned all aspects.
"Master Liu~"
Tang Bohu also smiled and returned the greeting, and the two parties sat down separately.
Like Andre, Liu Ping also brought several valuable gifts, but Tang Bohu didn't accept them either.
Although Tang Bohu¡¯s background was not very good, and his father was just a small owner of a small wine shop, Tang Bohu¡¯s ancestors were very great.
In the Qianliang period, Tang Bohu's ancestor was Tang Hui, the general of Lingjiang. During the Tang Dynasty, his ancestor Tang Jian followed Li Yuan in raising an army. In the Tang Dynasty, he was awarded the title of "Gong of Ju". It can be said that it is a truly prominent family. Even in the Ming Dynasty, , my ancestor was also a general who died gloriously in the Tumubao Incident. 强牺 baolaixsw.com 读牺
Tang Bohu has always been proud of his ancestors. He has also been greatly influenced and has high aspirations. Now he has finally become a fourth-grade official. He will never accept bribes for fear of tarnishing the reputation of his ancestors.
And now even if they don¡¯t accept gifts, Ming officials can still live a very good life.
Under the leadership of Liu Jin, the salaries of Ming officials also increased again and again.
From the beginning, eating was a problem. Salaries were given back to paper-like treasure banknotes, and then to real food and cloth. Gradually, treasure banknotes were abolished, and treasure banknotes were no longer used to pay officials' salaries.
¡°Then we slowly eliminated the physical payments and converted them all into cash to pay out salaries and subsidies on a monthly basis, which also increased again and again.
Now, the annual income of fourth-grade officials has exceeded 700 taels of silver, which is a very considerable income. You must know that the annual income of ordinary people is only 67 taels of silver per year.
The income of fourth-grade officials is ten times that of ordinary people. This is already an extremely high income. If converted into purchasing power, the income will be even more impressive.
You must know that the price of grain in the Ming Dynasty was only a few cents per catty, and the price of meat was also a few cents per catty. Even a house in the Beijing-Tianjin area cost more than two thousand taels of silver per set. In future generations, a fourth-grade house would cost only a few cents per catty. Officials can afford to buy a house in the imperial capital after working for three years. This income is definitely a high income.
So there is no need to be greedy at all. In the past, everyone was greedy and everyone accepted gifts. It can be said that there was no way, because the salary was indeed too low, and it was a problem to support the whole family.
But now the treatment of officials in the Ming Dynasty is really good, and their income is really high. As long as they don't live a debauched life and live a normal life, it can be said to be more than enough.
Tang Bohu naturally would not collect these things.
"Governor Liu came here this time, what's the matter?"
Tang Bohu looked at Liu Ping in front of him. He had been here for a few days and had heard a lot about Liu Ping.
I heard that he is a descendant of the royal family of the Han Dynasty. The descendants of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty have always been nobles in the Japanese country for generations, and now they have recognized their ancestors in the Ming Dynasty.
Although they are from the Japanese country, they have always regarded themselves as Ming people. The key is that other people in the Japanese country still buy their account, thinking that they are indeed Ming people. There is no way, who makes them really belong to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Descendants all have genealogies and historical records.
"Master Tang, our Japanese country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. We, the Japanese country and the Ming Dynasty have always been one family."
"We, the Japanese country, finally managed to get a foggy colony in Western Europe, but now, all European countries are targeting us. Our colony is not strong and has been attacked repeatedly."
"That's why I came here to seek help from Mr. Tang. I hope Mr. Tang can help purchase a batch of artillery from the Miyun Arsenal to protect the Fog City Colony."
"At the same time, we also hope to purchase more ships from Daming. We are now in very short supply of ships and the losses are relatively large."
"Of course we will not let Mr. Tang work in vain. We can convert five points of the slaves we plundered from Europe"One percent of the quota was sold to Mr. Tang. "
Liu Ping looked at Tang Bohu and said with a smile.
"Buy cannons and ships?" At this time b*aolaixs w.com Zhang Si
When Tang Bohu heard this, he immediately said in confusion: "Given the relationship between our Ming Dynasty and your Japanese country, there should be no problem in purchasing cannons and ships, right?"
"Master Tang, what we want to buy is the Miyun Type 23 breech-loading artillery produced by Miyun Arsenal, which is currently used by your Ming army. The ship we want to buy is the latest steamship produced by Tianjin Shipbuilding. "
¡°These two things are now prohibited from export and sale in Ming Dynasty.¡±
"Mr. Tang, you have a good relationship with Mr. Liu. I wonder if you can help lobby a bit to lift this prohibition and sell us some of these two things."
¡°In addition, if the current telegrams from Daming can be sold to us, we are also willing to pay a high price to buy them.¡±
Liu Ping whispered to Tang Bohu.
The reason why he wanted to buy these two things was to facilitate plundering in Europe. Now the entire European coastline has been plundered by Japanese pirates. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
The Japanese invasion is very serious!
These Japanese pirates were well-equipped, rigorously trained, and well-organized, and they often moved extremely fast, plundering every city, port, village, etc. in the coastal areas of Europe.
This also inspired various European countries to start a strong counterattack against Japanese pirates. France, England, Portugal, Denmark, the Holy Roman Empire, several Nordic countries, the Polish-Lithuanian Principality on the Baltic Sea, etc., now all hate Japanese pirates and can't wait to see them. I will crush these Japanese pirates into ashes.

Because these Japanese people are so cruel.
Often when a place is plundered, almost everything will be plundered, and all the people will be captured and sold as slaves to the people of the Ming Dynasty.
From the time the Japanese began to taste the sweetness, until now, in just a year or so, the Japanese have plundered more than half a million slaves and huge wealth from Europe, and a large number of port cities have been looted.
The Japanese invasion has reached an extremely serious level.
The people of Japan are now enjoying the benefits. The slave trade is so profitable, and the money comes in so fast. If you catch a slave and resell it, you can sell it for 20 taels of silver. What else can make money faster than this?
In one year, the Japanese country obtained more than ten million taels of silver from the income from the slave trade alone. Coupled with other plundered wealth, it can be said to be a bumper harvest.
But it also greatly stimulated European countries and aroused their determination to fight against Japanese pirates.

Since ancient times, they have been pirates and robbers. They only rob others. Now these Japanese people are plundering the robbers and pirate ancestors. How can they endure it?
Therefore, they also united against the Japanese country. The focus and core of the alliance was to get rid of the Fog Colony in the south of England and the north of the English Channel.
This is the base camp and base area where the Japanese invaded Europe.
From time to time, some ships and fleets were organized to attack Wudu Colony, but all ended in failure. The Japanese stationed an elite army of 20,000 people in Wudu Colony, plus a large number of wandering and destitute people from Japan. Samurai, ordinary people who want to get rich, etc., the power of Fog City Colony is very strong. This time yunxuange .o rg Zhang Si
Several attempts to destroy the Wudu Colony were unsuccessful, but it allowed the Japanese to start thinking of ways to strengthen their defenses in the Wudu Colony.
"Your Excellency, Governor, these things are not something that I, the little Governor of Hong Kong, can decide."
"I'm sorry, I just can't do it."
After listening to this, Tang Bohu also recalled the situation in Europe. In addition to the fierce war between Spain and France, the biggest thing in Europe was the Japanese invasion of Europe.
The Japanese pirates in Europe are now so serious that European countries need to unite to fight against them. There is really nothing we can do to deal with these Japanese pirates.
If the Japanese get these three things from the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that the whole of Europe will be disturbed by Japanese pirates.
Tang Bohu hated Japanese pirates extremely. In the past, the southeastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty were often invaded by Japanese pirates. Suzhou Prefecture was almost attacked by Japanese invaders. 强牺 yunxuange.org 读牺
"You can't even think about helping these Japanese pirates. There's no way out."
Although judging from what Jiang Liang explained, it seems that he wants to support these Japanese people, because their plundering in Europe is good for the Ming Dynasty. Not only can they obtain slaves and earn a lot of profits, but they can also cause heavy losses. against the development of European countries.
Jiang Liang also specifically warned about this matter and continued to support the Japanese people. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
But Tang Bohu felt that supporting the Japanese people to do these harmful things seriously violated the ideals of scholars, and they must not allow bandits to cause trouble, so not only would they not support them, they even planned to cut off some of the original support
