The red lantern of the Yamen of the Nanjing City Rite Department was not extinguished until late at night.

During this period, the people of Nanjing saw the real Western scenery, the wine shop and teahouse troupe spread, and the Spanish mission came, not as tribute, but to sign a land deed with the Ming court.

It's a pity that it doesn't make people see it often, just like the Spaniards are unsightly, but the people of the old Nanjing City feel that it doesn't matter, it's nothing more than a strange thing, a hundred years ago, this Nanjing City is not rare to see the East and West two foreign missions, just Spain, what is it?

In the house of the officials behind the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Shizhen was so angry that he pinched his nose and poured down two large bowls of herbal tea, stretched out his arms and said: "Lease the law, lease the law, this is the top priority of Chen Shuai's explanation, Xiyi didn't say anything, the waiter kept saying that this law is contrary to common sense, what is this!" ”

"Don't worry, the old man has already made it clear to Zhao Shilang today, it's not that he doesn't agree with the law of the leased land, but he thinks that a few of the laws are still to be discussed." Xu Wei stroked his beard and smiled softly, looked at Zhao Shizhen, who was anxious, and said, "The old man, who is suffering from madness, has not gone crazy yet, so you might as well retreat directly." ”

"If you can't talk about it, according to Chen Shuai, this is an unprecedented treaty signed by the two most powerful empires in the world, not to mention far away, this involves the silver taels of the Ming Dynasty for several years of taxation, and a hundred years of exchanges, do you still want to do it in one day?"

Xu Wei said that the smile gradually faded, and he shook his head slowly, and then said in a slightly heavy tone: "In Nanyang, you and I want to be windy and rainy, thanks to Chen Shuai's protection, now in the country is different from Nanyang, everything needs you and me to get through one by one, it is not a situation that can be done in a word, and it can be done in a word-the imperial court, the twilight is gloomy!" ”

When it came to the last four words, Xu Wei almost whispered in a fly voice that only the two of them could hear.

After that, without waiting for Zhao Shizhen's approval, Xu Wei had already diverted the topic and said: "But to talk about it, Xu also feels that Chen Shuai's leased land law is a bit unreasonable, and if you look at it bigger, this name is not good." ”

"It is said that it is the legal power of the leased land, but in fact it is necessary to pass through the whole of Spain, to make warships and merchant ships navigable, to give the Ming people three points of convenience in the law, to allow the Ming people to do any occupation in the country, and the Ming people to be sent to the leased land to be dealt with by the yamen of the leased land."

Xu Wei pursed his lips, also picked up a bowl of herbal tea, put it to his mouth but didn't drink it, and said: "Xiyi agrees to give nobles, officials, and merchants the right to lease land within the leased land of Seville. But I don't want this law to pass through the whole country, and I don't want to give every Ming citizen such a privilege. ”

"The old man thinks that this is about the same, what Chen Shuai wants is something else, such as any profession that the Ming people engage in in their country, navigation, etc., and the rest should not be important."

Chen Mu gave Xu Wei and Zhao Shizhen a different division of labor, Xu Wei was an elder and a staff member of Hu Zongxian, and he was familiar with how to deal with officials, not to mention that he had translated several books from Spain and Portugal, and he also knew a little about foreign languages, so he did foreign affairs.

Zhao Shizhen is the opposite, as a secretary who has served as Chen Mu's 'secretary' for several years to a certain extent, he has a better understanding of Chen Mu's spirit, and he is a technical nerd.

He was in charge of revising the treaty, and Chen Mu's letters to him were the main contents of the treaty, so he knew more about these things.

"The old gentleman is wrong about this, Chen Shuai attaches the most importance to this, the rest, the people of the Ming Dynasty are engaged in careers, and the warships and merchant ships are navigable in their country, Chen Shuai means that they can be slowly grinded."

Zhao Shizhen listened to Xu Wei's relief, and his heart was still angry, but he didn't want to vent with Xu Wei, so he sat down slowly, sneered, and explained to Xu Wei: "Hmph, don't look at the students who don't know how to fight, but my Ming Nanyang Military Government flag army is stationed in Seville, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will do whatever they want; Our Nanyang Liuding Liujia sailed into its estuary, and the warships and merchant ships sailed wherever they wanted. ”

"The treaty was signed, just to save some effort, but the privilege of the Ming people is the most important thing in Chen Shuai's eyes, he said that as long as the Westerners accept the impression that my Ming people are superior, no matter what they do in the future, they will be invincible. Chen Shuai thought that I would go to the kingdom tomorrow, and disdained to use *** women like them to bully orphans and widows to improve the status of their people. ”

"The dignified array, it is written in the treaty, I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are the superior people in your eyes!"

"The handsome man's words." Zhao Shizhen clapped his hands and said, "Sometimes I really don't know where the handsome man got this kind of experience in bullying foreign countries. ”

Chen Mu was afraid that he would sneer when he heard this, where did he get it, it was naturally the experience of being bullied!

"In addition, Shuai Ye also plans to issue a certificate to the Ming people in the West in the future, proving that they are Ming people, so as to obtain a superior status, and when the Westerners have made great contributions to me, they can also be included in my Ming nationality, so as to gain superior power in the land of the Westerners."

Zhao Shizhen was tired as he spoke, and waved his hand and said: "Master Xu, don't pull me to talk about this matter again, as you said, let's talk about it later, and do it for the handsome man - who knows how Nuwa Niangniang pinched out these things, and when she got closer, she was like entering a pigsty, and I told you the truth, today I ran away from the yamen not only because I was angry with Zhao Shilang, but also because I was so smoked that I couldn't stand it." ”

mentioned this, but Xu Wei sneered and said, "How did you come to be stinky?" ”

After laughing, Xu Wei suddenly remembered again, and said to Zhao Shizhen: "By the way, Tang Juan gave the old man a white and a black eyed maid, the old man is not blessed, if you are willing, send someone to get it." ”

After all, Mr. Xu, who was disrespectful to the old man, curiously put an expression on Zhao Shizhen about sharing resources in the university dormitory, and asked mysteriously: "He should have sent you too, what is the difference between this white lady and my flesh and blood?" ”

Zhao Shizhen is usually introverted, but about all the Ming men in the world except for Chen Mu have no private introverts about the bed, and even the glaze of the teacup they use is a picture of the Spring Palace, the atmosphere in the world is like this, Zhao Shizhen is no exception, shook his head and smiled: "Mr. ask me, who should I ask, the white-skinned maid looks plump from a distance." ”

"But his enlarged breasts and eyes are born with a strange body, and his appearance is not as good as that of the street singers, one can't sing music and the other can't play the piano, and the calligraphy and painting elegance don't need to be mentioned, if that's the case alone, it's okay to wash the incense like a pigsty, but this is close to the face like a finch feather and red spots, not to mention that the skin is as warm as jade, it always has to feel like a person, right? Blowing out the lights, if you don't know, you should still touch the hairless monkey, not as smooth as the students, what kind of system is this! ”

"It's the black-skinned maid, who looks like a wise person according to me, and she is not born well, but her skin is as smooth as jade, and she can dance some exotic dances, which wins my heart."

Zhao Shizhen narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said: "If the old gentleman is interested, why don't I send the white maid to you, you will send the black maid to me, and then the old gentleman will return the two white maids, everyone is very happy, as for the inner mystery, the student is worried about bayberry sores, so he has not tried yet." ”

"But there is a way, today I found a doctor to check that it is fine, and I have prepared a sheep intestine acacia clothes, which are soaked in warm milk, so that everything is safe."

Zhao Shizhen smiled lightly, and when his eyebrows were flying, he suddenly froze.

His smile froze, and he let out a long sigh, and said, "But I still don't dare, the most annoying person of the handsome man is buying and selling people, and it's just a matter of getting over the eyes, if he knows that he will kill the student with a bang-how is it?" ”
