I am the king of the dead

The political structures of Ming Dynasty and Rome are fundamentally different, which determines that this loose structure and the colonial model that only seeks profit cannot be implemented politically at all.

The emperor was the first to take the lead in opposing the establishment of colonies.

This is not counting the opposition of gossip officers and basic political correctness.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to understand the logic, and said to Xing'an: "Let Hu Shangshu have a headache, communicate more with Nikolaoz, and learn from it. Didn't Hu Shangshu say it? Theirs is ours, and ours is still ours." ?”

First cross the river by touching Rome, and try to see if the colony is feasible.

Daming's power to open the sea is insufficient, Li Binyan has always wanted to go to the horizon and walk past the main peak of Luojing (geng) to see what the horizon looks like.

Compass Zhengfeng is the farthest place that Zheng He traveled westward. When he got there, the direction of the compass and the direction of the mountain all pointed to the true north. place.

What Zhu Qiyu meant was that the core area of ​​Ming Dynasty, besides Guiliu area and Jimi area, could there be another colonial area?

This colonial area can slowly transform into a prison area and a reformed land return area.

This is Zhu Qiyu's appeal, and he hopes that his subjects can fulfill his appeal.

After Hu Wei received the emperor's request, he got into his small attic, where there were all kinds of books. These books provided him with inspiration, but they were far from enough to complete the emperor's arrangement. topic.

As soon as it was dawn in the morning, Hu Wei came to the Huitong Post and found Nikolaoz.

Nikolaoz looked at the old man Hu Wei, his scalp was numb for a while!

He couldn't understand why this old man in his 70s was so energetic.

"What time is it! The rooster hasn't crowed yet!" Nikolaoz complained, but soon he was full of smiles.

Hu Wei brought a bag of tea, which was wrapped in bright yellow tibo, and Nikolaoz knew what it was. It was a tribute tea from the Ming Dynasty, and it was the fifteen catties of Hu Wei's Qigong brand every year. A good thing that only the card holder can get.

Hu Wei explained His Majesty's request in detail before he said, "Your Majesty hopes that I can learn from your Roman colonial model and establish a royal land of Ming Dynasty."

The nomenclature of the three words "colonial" contains infinite ambiguity, so Hu Wei changed it to "Land of Wanghua".

"Why did the emperor suddenly have such an interest?" Nikolaos carefully placed the tea in the cabinet, and when he asked this sentence, his hands stopped in mid-air.

It's Elena.

Elena discussed with Nicoloz more than once about the strength of Ming, the richness of Ming and the problems that people in Ming cannot see. Daming took it for granted, but in Elena's view, it was not good for Ming. thing.

Nicholas sat on the wicker chair and said sincerely: "The broad mind of the Emperor Ming is like the sun shining on the earth."

"Such a dazzling monarch, how did the courtiers of Ming Dynasty manage to close their eyes and say that His Majesty is the king of subjugation?"

Nikolaoz's words were sincere. He and some people in Daming must be blind.

Elena, as the princess of Rome, married to Daming, spoke bad things about Daming in front of everyone in Daming, isn’t that scolding the child in front of the child’s father?

This monarch known for his cruelty actually first thought about whether this sentence was correct, instead of sending Elena to the Jieyuan Court in a fit of rage.

There are many rumors about the cruelty of the emperor, but Nikolaoz never came to this conclusion on anything.

Such a monarch is rare even in the long history of the Central Plains dynasty.

"I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I just live in this mountain." Hu Yan said with a smile.

"We were born here, grew up here, and lived like this from childhood to adulthood. How can we see the true face of Mount Lu in the middle of Mount Lu?"

Nikolaoz carefully savored this passage and this poem before saying: "I apologize for my previous rudeness."

"I used to narrowly think that Ming Dynasty had no philosophy, and I also told others that Daming is so powerful and rich, but it has no philosophy, and it is a barren land of philosophy."

"this is mine……"

The Chinese used by Nikolaoz was short of words for a while, and he didn't know how to express his meaning accurately.

Ma laughed and said, "I don't know how to learn."

"You know, I'm really a scholar!" Nikolaoz was a little excited and wanted to refute.

He is indeed ignorant, and Ming Dynasty is not a barren land of philosophy. On the contrary, every sentence left by history is full of wisdom.

After exchanging greetings with Hu Wei, Nikolaoz and Hu Wei started the topic and said: "The Roman colonial model has failed. At the beginning, Caesar took back the power to establish the colony, which annoyed many people. More than 60 elders of the Senate gave each one a knife. Caesar is gone."

"Caesar was assassinated by the Senate, but it is the mission of all emperors to take back the power to establish colonies. Caesar's adopted son Octavian finally completed this mission."

"No matter what the name of the colony is, it is Pandora's box. If it is not closed, all the evils in the world, greed, hypocrisy, slander, jealousy and pain, all originate from this and will end here."

Pandala's Box is a short story in Greek mythology, which represents the source of disasters and will cause all kinds of disasters.

Nicolaus said with great conviction: "Rome prospers here, and it also perishes here."

"Caesar is Caesar because his gaze penetrates the world and space."

In the context of Rome, Caesar is similar to the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Son of Heaven, which means emperor.

In Nikolaoz's sentence, the first Caesar refers to Caesar himself, and the second Caesar refers to the emperor.

Hu Wei understands etiquette very well. Even if it is Roman law or Roman proverbs, after such a long time of communication, Hu Wei can understand the meaning expressed by Nikolaoz.

Nikolaoz continued with a somewhat painful expression: "As Hu Shangshu often said, colonialism is short-sighted, and it cannot be governed for a long time, let alone long-term stability. It is the way to perish."

"Rome later changed its colonies into provinces, but it did not change Rome's unlimited expropriation of barbarians, and finally made the hatred between Rome and barbarians irresolvable."

"In the end, Western Rome was destroyed by barbarians and slaves, and Eastern Rome was destroyed by Ottomans."

"I sincerely hope that Daming will not take this path, it is the road to perdition."

For Nicolaus, it is difficult to admit the failure of his own system. He traveled tens of thousands of miles to seek the hope of lightning's return, but it became increasingly clear that Rome's subjugation Woe, Rome itself.

Reviving a Rome that was already damned, Nikolaoz suddenly realized that what he was doing was meaningless.

Hu Wei shook his head and said, "Da Ming will take a completely different path."

Nikolaoz looked at Hu Ming and asked, "Really?"

"I know that the recent changes in the sky have brought a lot of distress to the emperor, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty does not want their subjects to starve to death."

"I know that the emperor of Ming Dynasty has been destroying Zobo, and hoped that Zobo would disappear from the land of Daming. Since the people of Daming cannot be taken away, there must be someone to be taken away. His Majesty's eyes are looking overseas, and there is a sense of colonization. Willingness is also reasonable."

"But with the kindness of the Ming people, colonization is meaningless."

Hu Wei frowned and said, "Kindness?"

Nikolaoz nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, kindness."

"This is the infinite kindness I felt after arriving in Daming. This is not being kind to me, a Roman. The vast majority of Daming people are too kind."

"I remember Hu Shangshu once said that in the last years of Yongle, the great Emperor Yongle ordered the leaders of the grassland barbarians to get more Yongle Tongbao, make the people suffer, and stop the popularity of Yongle Tongbao in the grassland."

"And when Emperor Yongle issued this edict, it was because the Tatars lived a miserable life. They had no clothes, no iron pots, and no salt. They could only cook white meat in skins. Everyone around them felt sorry for them."

"Nowadays, the emperor of Ming Dynasty issued silver coins wantonly on the grassland, and was criticized by his courtiers. Even the elders of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly proposed to stop the circulation of Jingtai silver coins in the grassland."

"There is also the trial of the banknote law in the country of Wa. His Majesty has also been scolded many times."

"What is this if it's not kindness?"

"How to colonize this kind of universal value?"

"Economic colonization of financial affairs is regarded as a tyrannical regime, how can it colonize?"

Hu Yan said calmly: "What you said makes sense."

Through the conversation with Nikolaoz, he has fully understood that the key to the colonial road of Ming Dynasty is precisely the kindness that Nikolaoz mentioned.

Changing the colonial area to the land of kingship is definitely not as simple as a name change, it represents an internal difference.

Rome prospered in colonization and died in colonization. This is a dead end, but in Hu Wei's view, it is not the case.

"Hu Shangshu, you are always like this! When communicating with me, you always have a lot of ideas, but you always admit that I am right, and then don't express your point of view." Nikolaoz said a little annoyed.

Nikolaoz has been dealing with Hu Wei for a long time, so he naturally knows that Hu Wei has another idea, but every time Hu Wei highly praises Nikolaoz's words, and then hides his thoughts in the deepest part.

What kind of nonsense philosophy is in the barren land, such a philosophy of life, so that Nikolaoz does not know how to deal with it, this kind of Ming Dynasty etiquette that is yours is mine, mine is mine, for Nikolaoz, It was a kind of torture.

He really wanted to know what Hu Yan was thinking of.

"You're right. I naturally agree with you. Is there a problem with this logic?" Hu Wei agreed with Nikolaoz again.

Nikolaoz gritted his teeth and said, "That's right!"

This old man is too tortured.

Chapter 548 His Majesty's Road Trip

Nikolaoz looked at Hu Mei, nodded his head and said in a low voice, "I still have a lot of good things here. If you speak your mind, I will speak mine."

"It's fair." Hu Min's face was as usual, but his thumb was slightly curled up in the palm of his hand. Anyone who is familiar with Hu Min, such as Yu Qian, His Majesty and others, would know that Hu Min was angry.

He nodded and said, "If you want to get something, you have to give something."

"Yang Shan, Minister of Honglu Temple, is in charge of Ma Huan, and settle the bill with our Roman envoy."

"Your envoy has lived in the Huitong Hotel for more than two years, and Princess Elena has married into the Tai'an Palace. We don't count it, so Nikolaoz himself will pay for all the expenses in the Huitong Hotel."

"That old man from the household department, Jin, troubles my Ritual Department all day long. The cost here is high, and where the cost is high, my Ritual Department is the top of the six! Isn't it normal that the cost is higher?"

"But it's really annoying to keep talking about it."

After Hu Wei finished speaking, he was a little dull. The old man Jin who was looking for six books to save money, Mu Yang Bo Jin Lian, has passed away.

This made Hu Ming even more irritable.

Ma Huan was taken aback, and he took out the ledger and an abacus and said, "The total is 340 taels of silver. According to the conversion of 120% of the Roman silver coins and [-]% of the Ming silver coins, the total is [-] Roman silver coins. According to the Roman The actuarial amount of gold coins is seven thousand three hundred gold coins."

Nikolaoz is stupid...

He never expected that the Ming official, who was with him day and night, was actually keeping accounts for him, and it was so detailed. Every month's food, clothing, housing and transportation were recorded in the book, and even the exchange rate was calculated in advance. !

Daming people are really too insidious!

Hu Mei clearly remembered that Nikolaoz still owed Xu Youzhen five silver coins. When Xu Youzhen was in Hetao, she saw the embarrassment of the Roman envoy and kindly borrowed the money.

At that time, Hu Wei knew very clearly the weakness of the Roman envoys, they were too poor.

Nikolaoz was indeed a scholar, but he had no money.

The Emperor of Ming set a price for all the translated books, but this was a reward for the entire General Council. Nikolaoz could get a little bit, but it definitely couldn't support his extravagant life in Daming.

"There are [-] Roman soldiers serving in the Ming Dynasty as Tatar officials and Tatar troops. Do you know the Yingtian governor of Nanya, Li Xian? He strongly opposes the existence of any Tatar officials and Tatar troops. There are many fans."

"In order to quell the gossip from the gossip officials, our Ministry of Rites also needs to appease the ministers. We won't tell you the details of the cost, and we don't even know." Hu Wei didn't give Nikolaoz any chance to respond. He threw out another card of his own.

When you don't want to fight, you can persuade them with good words. When you really want to conflict, you can kill them directly. This style is the style of His Majesty today.

He clenched his fist and punched him to death.

The second card is more than 300 Roman soldiers who followed Nikolaoz and Elena to Daming.

Nikolaoz said with a gloomy expression: "I want to see Your Majesty. I have presented a lot of our books in Rome. Your Majesty is very impressed by it!"

"Is our Majesty so easy to see?" Hu Yan took a sip of tea steadily.

The reason for Hu's anger is very simple. The Roman mission, with more than [-] people, was paid for by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. this line.

It's strange that Hu Wei didn't hit Nikolaoz, Hu Wei is not a good-tempered person.

He Zhang scolded Hu Yan for being immoral, and Hu Yan made He Zhangde unworthy, and felt like sitting on pins and needles in the position of the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Nikolaoz finally looked at Hu Wei with a little dejection, and he suddenly remembered Elena's first impression of Da Ming after she came to Da Ming, which was domineering!

"Okay, okay, I don't have any money." Nicholas spread his hands. He is an envoy of a subjugated country. The world is just curious.

Can you blame the Ming Dynasty for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?

It can only be blamed that Rome has disappeared into the long river of history.

Only then did Hu Wei nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Actually, you have already said what I thought of."

"Huh?" Nikolaoz was more confused than ever.

Hu Wei threw out two hole cards so forcefully, one was the poverty of their mission, and the other was their Roman survivors. The purpose was to make Nikolaoz, who had just made a little request, dare not and could not make a request.

But why did this start talking about this topic again?

Daming's philosophy of doing things made Nikolaos fall into confusion.

Hu Wei spread his thumbs and said, "The people of Ming Dynasty are indeed kind. It is because of this kindness that the rule is impregnable. We don't deny that our kindness sometimes brings us very heavy historical lessons."

Nikolaoz asked tentatively, "What's the specifics?"

Hu Wei leaned on the rattan chair, and said quietly: "At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had just ascended the throne, and the Turkic Jieli Khan brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to the banks of the Weishui River. Emperor Taizong of Tang signed the Treaty of Weishui Alliance, which was extremely humiliating."

"You said that great monarch, didn't he catch Jieli Khan and dance under his tent later?" Nicholas knew Li Shimin, China is different from Rome, and the historical materials are so clear and complete.
