Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 84 Ye Xuan sighed: Zhu Di and Zhu Biao are indeed brothers!

Ministry of Rites.

Ye Xuan was lying on the chair.

His face was full of decadence.

Like a salted fish that has exhausted all its strength.

He felt that he would really become useless.

The group of foreign envoys are taken care of every day, and all aspects of food, drink, clothing and accommodation need to be received.

Moreover, the group of foreign envoys demanded many thieves.

Every few days, Ye Xuan and other officials from the Ministry of Rites have to take this group of foreign envoys and business people to conduct economic and trade. They want to prevent the foreign envoys from trading prohibited items, and also to prevent the envoys from being deceived and damaging the country's image.

A lot of chores every day.

Even if he wants to paddle out and fish, those trivial matters will come to him, so he has no time to fish.

Ye Xuan, who has always been on duty, was not used to the sudden high-intensity duty.

Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, looked at the tired faces and coughed.

Everyone looked at him feebly.

Ren Ang said:

"These foreign envoys have been in the capital for more than ten days. According to past practice, they should be leaving soon."

There was neither sadness nor joy on everyone's faces.

Just as per usual, may leave.

but

They haven't left yet!

This means that their social life will continue.

Pay attention to the foreign envoys over there at the Huitong Pavilion at all times. Whenever there is the slightest sign of trouble there, they will go School Disciple.

"good news!"

"good news!!!"

An official from the Ministry of Rites rushed into the Ministry of Rites excitedly. When he saw his superior, the Minister of Rites, was there, he quickly put back the ecstasy on his face and became steady in his steps.

He respectfully saluted Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites.

"grown ups."

Ren Ang, Ye Xuan and others all looked at this person and didn't understand why he was so happy.

Ren Ang stroked his beard and asked:

"Why are you so happy?"

"Shouldn't you entertain those foreign envoys at the Huitong Pavilion?"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked embarrassed.

I was caught trying to catch a fish by my boss.

This is embarrassing.

"Master Shangshu, there are enough people in the Huitong Hall. I returned to the Ministry of Etiquette to tell everyone a piece of news.

"Those foreign envoys are preparing to leave."

The Ministry of Rites suddenly glowed with vitality.

"Very good!!"

I don’t know who shouted out such a thing.

Ren Ang turned around and scanned everyone with his eyes, as if he wanted to see who was so disrespectful.

However, everyone looked at her with serious expressions on their faces.

It was impossible to tell who actually shouted such rude words.

"Although the foreign envoys are about to leave, they are still within the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, we still need to do our job well and not neglect these foreign envoys.

The Minister of Rites warned cautiously.

He looked serious, but his mood became happy because of the news.

These foreign envoys finally left!!

Receiving this group of foreign envoys required a lot of hard work.

You still need to be afraid.

If something happens to the foreign envoy, it will definitely cause disputes between the two countries.

Ming Dynasty is a big country and is not afraid of these small foreign countries.

But his reception went wrong.

He will definitely be severely punished by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

The expression on Ye Xuan's face also relaxed.

Very good.

I can continue my former leisurely life again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived——!"

A shrill, loud sound came in from outside.

Zhu Biao wore Jiuzhanggun uniform and walked into the Ministry of Rites with several entourages behind him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites saluted Zhu Biao one after another.

"No gift."

"Everyone, get up."

Zhu Biao waved his hand.

Ren Ang stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly came to the Ministry of Rites. What do you want to say?"

"The foreign envoys are about to leave. Are you aware of this?"

Zhu Biao asked.

Ren Ang replied:

"I just found out about it not long ago."

"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince is here for the group of foreign envoys who are about to leave?"

"exactly."

"Foreign envoys paid tribute and presented many treasures and rare and exotic animals."

"As a matter of course."

"The rewards given to foreign envoys must be carefully considered."

"And prepare it in advance."

"We must not lose the majesty of a great country."

"Scorned by other countries."

"The rewards prepared must be worthy of the stage and be able to show the style of our great Ming Dynasty."

"It's a generous gift."

"The value must be higher than the value of the tribute items."

“They need to be supplied with travel expenses and food.

Zhu Biao gave detailed instructions.

"My lord, I understand."

Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, remembered Zhu Biao's instructions in his heart.

Ye Xuan stood aside and frowned when he heard Zhu Biao's words.

But he didn't speak.

He is just a small fifth-grade official.

Logically speaking, these things are not his turn to worry about.

But Zhu Biao keenly captured Ye Xuan's frown.

He was slightly confused.

"Is there something inappropriate in what I said?"

He thought about it carefully and found nothing wrong with it.

.....................

Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, was still standing in front of him, waiting for Zhu Biao to continue to issue instructions. Zhu Biao waved his hand and asked everyone in the Ministry of Rites to go ahead and prepare the rewards for foreign envoys.

Everyone from the Ministry of Rites filed out.

Ye Xuan followed the people from the Ministry of Rites and wanted to leave together.

"Mr. Ye, please stay."

Zhu Biao shouted.

Ye Xuan paused.

Other officials of the Ministry of Rites, including the Minister of Rites, could not help but look back at Ye Xuan and Zhu Biao, surprised.

When the officials from the Ministry of Rites left, Zhu Biao glanced at the attendants around him and said:

"You guys step back first."

"yes!"

The attendant responded.

Only Zhu Biao and Ye Xuan were left in the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Biao asked: "Sir, is there anything inappropriate in what I just did?"

Facing Zhu Biao, Ye Xuan did not beat around the bush and asked:

............O

"Why do you give so many gifts in return to those foreign envoys?"

The gift Zhu Biao just ordered was simply outrageous.

Are return gifts worth more than foreign tributes?

Do you still need to give travel expenses and food to foreign envoys?

Ye Xuan was moved by this.

He wanted to pretend to be a foreigner, pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and then have free prostitution in exchange for gifts.

Guaranteed profit without loss.

Moreover, the foreign envoys clearly came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and show their surrender, but you sent so many gifts to them in return. Who paid tribute to whom?

Where do foreign countries place their purchases here?

Ye Xuan complained endlessly in his heart.

The ancient Chinese tribute system lasted for thousands of years.

However, looking at thousands of years of history, the tribute system of the Ming Dynasty is the most criticized.

Among them, the most controversial one is the tribute system of the Ming Dynasty.

The tribute system of the Ming Dynasty was borrowed from the Yuan Dynasty and exchanged economic support for neighboring countries' recognition of the Ming Dynasty's political culture.

The most famous one is the Ming Dynasty's "thick and thin" tribute system.

"Thick to thin" means that the tributes from foreign countries can be thin, but thin means little.

But Ming must give more gifts in return.

Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty liked diplomacy the most.

He sent Zheng He to the Western Seas and attracted tribute from more than thirty foreign countries.

Zhu Di was extremely generous.

"From thick to thin".

Give these foreign countries that pay tribute a lot of rewards.

The value of the rewards far exceeded the value of foreign tribute.

Ming Dynasty will suffer huge losses.

But Zhu Di didn't mind at all.

But what Zhu Biao is doing now is no different from Zhu Di.

Ye Xuan could only sigh, they are indeed brothers, they all have the same style of doing things.

.F..
