Chapter 768: Just Because of Gold
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:32This villa was the house of a minister of the Kingdom of Java (i.e. the Kingdom of Majapahit), located on a hillside. The Javanese king and his entourage bypassed a forest and expanded their sight to the distance, and were immediately shocked by the scene of Kediri Port on the banks of the Brantas River.
(Kediri Port is probably in Surabaya, the second largest city in Indonesia today.)
The sea surface in the harbor is already filled with large fleets of ships; from a distance, it looks like migrating white cranes have filled a small pond.
The king, who had been heartbroken about the gold, changed his mind less than half an incense stick later and said, "If the Ming people only want gold, we may still be able to negotiate."
The envoy of Malacca (Sultanate of Malacca) warned, "The people of the Ming Dynasty have shown their greedy nature. Your Majesty's concession will only make them push forward."
At this time, the Javanese monarchs and ministers

At the turn of spring and summer, it is the season of green, fat, red and thin, and the scene of the Ming Dynasty capital is full of lush vegetation and vitality.There are only a few trees next to the inclined corridor outside Qianqing Palace, which also attracts birds to stay, and they "chirp" among the branches and leaves. Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, heard the chirping of birds and had the illusion that he "didn't feel like he was living in a densely populated imperial city".He soon became a little irritated by the chirping of birds, because the eunuch Cao Fu came in to report the matter and mentioned that Chen Xianzhen was about to enter Beijing with Hou Hai, Pei Youzhen, Liu Ming and others.Cao Fu narrated for a while and then said, "My servant asked Zhang Sheng, and the accompanying Jin Yiwei reported that this matter was the intention of Xincheng Hou Zhang Fu.""I know." Zhu Gaoxu said.Zhu Gaoxu has known Zhang

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that he was a little cruel.But he still couldn't help it, turned his head to look at the curtain in front of the ear room door, and said, "General Ruan, come out."When Chen Xianzhen heard this, his face suddenly changed, and his expression seemed to be frozen on his face. Various emotions such as shock, worry, and luck seemed to be intertwined and changed subtly with extremely subtle amplitudes that were difficult to detect.There was a dead silence in the room, and the curtains hung there quietly, without any movement. Chen Xianzhen followed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze and looked towards the ear room. She seemed to have held her breath.After a long while, Ruan Jingyi finally opened the curtain and quietly walked out of the ear room. When Chen Xianzhen saw that "General Ruan" was indeed Ruan Jingyi, her cheeks twitched slightly.Eunuch Cao Fu and Zhu Gaoxu remained silent.Zhu Gaoxu just observed silently, as if the Taoist p

In such a good season, the spring ploughing has passed and the summer busy season has not yet arrived, the weather is warm and sunny. It is not too much for the emperor and empress, who are role models for the world, to occasionally come to the old palace of the King of Han and have some leisure time.The royal family members played in the back garden for a while, and then came to the theater. After a rest with some tea, they could enjoy the opera prepared by the Jiaofangsi.Zhu Gaoxu also came over. He was sitting in an upper room with Guo Wei. The concubines were also in other rooms of the theater, waiting on them. But Zhu Gaoxu was a little distracted, and couldn't help but still thinking about what happened between Chen Xianzhen and Ruan Jingyi.The two men sat on the armchair, separated by a small wooden coffee table; the eunuch Cao Fu had already returned, and the other eunuchs standing by were Huang Gou.At this time, Guo Wei asked carefully and

That day in the old mansion, after Zhu Gaoxu met Ruan Jingyi and Chen Xianzhen, it was two days before he asked about Ruan Jingyi's recent situation.At this time, there were two people around Zhu Gaoxu in the East Warm Pavilion, one was the eunuch Cao Fu who was reporting the news, and the other was the virtuous concubine Yao Ji. Yao Ji was asked by Zhu Gaoxu to come to the East Warm Pavilion to serve Wen Mo.It is said that after Yao Ji's elder brother Yao Fang gave the book "Collection of Science Translations of Various Countries" to the Shouyu Sinan Office, some officials respectfully called Yao Fang Mr. Yao when they saw him; he transformed from a mere warrior into a learned man, and some literati even suggested that he build an academy to give lectures, perhaps he could establish a school and become famous. The literati took Neo-Confucianism as their foundation, but there were always scholars who would not reject new knowledge.In the East Warm Pavilio

The Ming fleet has arrived at Tsushima Island, consisting of more than 20 warships of various sizes. In addition to the 15 Ming warships, there are also some Korean ships accompanying them.Two 2,000-ton treasure ships in the navy floated on the narrow sea of the "front port" of Tsushima Port. Their scale was extremely shocking, like two cities floating on the water.The treasure ship "Yin" was the flagship of the fleet. The chief envoy, the eunuch Zhou Quan, the commander of the land army, Wan Liang, as well as the Jinshi civil officials of the Beijing Xingren Division and the military generals of the Jinyiwei were all on this ship, in addition to more than 200 officers and soldiers of the land army.Wan Liang was not in charge of commanding the naval battle. When he walked to the deck of the bow and looked at the sea surface of the harbor, the naval battle in front had already started. He heard that the Ming army's vanguard warships suddenly appeared in th

Whenever the Ming army went on a campaign, they always emphasized the importance of legitimacy. So Qian Hu Wan Liang led 300 infantry and cavalry to the front of Zong's fortress , and ordered his men to tie documents to arrows and shoot them into the city with his divine arm.The official documents were written on silk by officials from the Ministry of Travel, and a copy was also made.The article pointed out that the guardian daimyo of Tsushima Island was unjust and had long been sheltering the Japanese pirates and doing illegal things. It stated that since the Hongwu period, the Ming court had submitted letters to the Japanese shogunate many times to ban the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese shogunate ignored them or pretended to be compliant. This time, the Ming government army was "forced" to send troops to attack.The official document also made a suggestion at the end, requiring Souji to lead his troops out of the city and surrender, in which case he

The remnants of the enemy army finally retreated, and the remaining few foot soldiers fled into the ruins.The Ming army's vanguard was also in a state of confusion. Some people took the opportunity to catch their breath. Before they could straighten out their ranks, a group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared next to the broken wall in front of them. Someone shouted, "Chicken House!" A group of short people started to charge forward, screaming wildly.At this time, the sound of brass instruments rang out from behind, and someone shouted, "Wan Qian Hu Ling, the vanguard team retreat!""Retreat!" the general in the crowd shouted, and everyone immediately gave up fighting in formation and turned around and retreated. The two sergeants who were supporting the wounded soldier glanced at the musketry team behind them and hurriedly dragged the wounded soldier to the side of the pile of earth and rocks to avoid it.The Japanese troops swarmed in, and almos

June is the rainy season in Annan, but today the weather is clear and the sun is shining brightly.A group of people from the capital of the Ming Dynasty had already passed the area controlled by the Lang Son Guard. The road under their feet was under the jurisdiction of the Beijiang Prefecture. Everyone in the group wore straw hats and rode horses. They were all sweating profusely. The sweat mixed with the dust raised by the post road made everyone's face covered with dust and dirt. In addition to Nguyen Jingyi, there were eunuchs and soldiers of the Jinyiwei in the team."Chichi..." The rice fields on both sides of the post road were filled with the noise of various insects and the croaking of frogs. There was no sign of human beings under the scorching sun, but the environment was quite noisy.The eunuch who accompanied him was called Meng Ji, a Semu man. His face was very different from that of the Han people, with a more three-dimensional outline, curly

The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp

There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h

Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during

Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees.

The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm

This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p

After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which

The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.

The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
