Yang Jingyi quickly settled the matter of reopening the Imperial College. The income was expected to be quite high, and he was secretly proud of it. The government continued. In addition, he planned to go back tonight and check what Bi Ziyan came from and see the "achievements" in history. If the "history achievements" are good, he would not mind using him. If it doesn't work, he would stop there.

"Your Majesty, the prince of Zhongshan, Ryukyu Kingdom, sent envoys to pay tribute and requested a canonization." A minister came out to report the matter.

The government continues to work.

"Ryukyu Kingdom? King Zhongshan? Prince Shang Feng?" Yang Jie was surprised! Isn't this Ryukyu Kingdom on the sea east of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't it a very small piece of land? This was paid tribute? This is interesting. Yang Jie quickly started to use his brains. I remember that a game I played before, called "Age of Discovery IV", contained Ryukyu, and there was a port called Naha, which could be traded. Yang Jie was very impressed by this.

This matter has to be considered. In the future, the Ryukyu Kingdom will be swallowed up by Japan! Since he is a Chinese in the future, he cannot let this happen. Since he is still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, since he is now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has to do something for his descendants and firmly hold the Ryukyu Kingdom in the hands of China. It is better to be a garrison, which is even more perfect. Even if the Ming Dynasty declines in the future, the Chinese garrison on the Ryukyu Kingdom will be a foregone conclusion. It is absolutely impossible to split Ryukyu from China again, and there will be no future island chains to block China. Yang Jing felt that he had to leave something for his descendants, otherwise he would regret it.

He said immediately: "There is an envoy to pay tribute and request a licensing... My dear friends tell me what happened to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and what to do with our relationship?" Yang Jie originally wanted to send people to garrison troops directly to defend China's inherent territory. When it came to his words, he remembered that it was probably the first time that Emperor Chongzhen in history had heard of Ryukyu. There was also a Ming Dynasty vassal state Zhongshan Kingdom, so he could not "lost traces". He quickly asked the ministers what to do, thinking that this was also a manifestation of Chongzhen in history.

When the ministers saw the emperor asking about the Ryukyu Kingdom, they all felt like frost had been beaten. They were unhappy and evasive. Yang Jie glanced at him and knew that this was a problem.

Yang Jie glanced at the person who reported this matter again. This minister could not stand the emperor's stare and lowered his head and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, this Ryukyu Kingdom has always been a vassal state of our dynasty. In the east of our vast sea, the king of Zhongshan of Ryukyu Kingdom has regarded our dynasty as the official. If the new king ascended the throne, he would ask our dynasty to be enthroned. This time, the old king passed away and the new king took the throne and asked our dynasty to be enthroned. In addition, there is also this tribute, and your dynasty to be enthroned."

Pay tribute? Yang Jie heard from the history teacher that the tribute from the Ming Dynasty was purely a one-sided project. Others brought a few indigenous people in the South China Sea, and then called themselves a king. With a few kilograms of straw and a few strings of shells, they came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Then, in order to show their wealth and show their wealth, the Ming Dynasty would give a large ship of gifts as a return gift, which shows that the Ming Dynasty was the supreme country of the Celestial Empire. In Yang Jie's view, this thing was purely a matter of treating the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as a slaughter of the Kaizi.

"Hehehe, this matter... is that messenger coming? I want to meet, haha, guests from overseas? I am curious about what new gifts will be there. Send the messenger quickly. I really want these overseas treasures!" Yang Jing intends to see what there are in the gifts for tribute, whether they are the legendary handfuls of straw and shells. Yang Jing is preparing to verify how the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were slaughtered. He is also preparing to have some "relationship" with Ryukyu, so that he can go to the army in the future.

Seeing that the emperor was about to summon the envoy, someone immediately came out to stop him and said, "Report to Your Majesty, do not summon the envoy, and listen to me." The minister hurriedly stopped the emperor.

Yang Jing also wondered what was wrong? Could it be that the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty do not like the "hat" of the Celestial Kingdom?

"What's the matter with my dear? Just say, why can't you summon me?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there is no gift... This envoy cannot be summoned. Once summoned, your Majesty must be rewarded with a reward and a conferred ship to sea. This is a huge expense! I think my treasury is empty now, how can I send a conferred ship to return? Your Majesty must not be able to see the envoy."

Yang Jingyou! The people of the Ming Dynasty were not all fools. They knew that they had no money and did not even see the envoy. This... "Canceled ship? Then if I see the envoy, I give back gifts and send the envoy ship, how much money will it cost to spend this trip?" Yang Jingyou wanted to know how much it would cost to be a sucker once?

"Report to Your Majesty, 100,000 taels are indispensable. This gift depends on Your Majesty's meaning. These utensils, clothing, enclosures, silver, brocades, treasures, etc. are all according to Your Majesty's intentions. But this enclosure ship, this... The court is not enough to make enough money to build this new enclosure ship? How can you go out to enclosure? Your Majesty?" When this man talked about enclosure ship, he evaded.

The more the man dodged, the more interested Yang Jing became, and said, "How much does this ship be sealed? Why doesn't the Ministry of Revenue even pay for this money?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this is a must-have to build a banned ship. If you go out to enthrone it, you will have to cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. The Ministry of Revenue is less than tens of thousands of taels now. There is still silver to enthrone the King of Ryukyu!"

This man revealed the truth. No wonder the ministers' expressions were like frost when they talked about the enthronement. The clothes were the hair of a man and money was the courage of a man. If they had no money, they would naturally lack courage. If they did things, they would naturally be vulgar.

"Ten thousand taels? What kind of ship is this? How big is it?" Yang Jing remembered that the silver from the Ming Dynasty was quite valuable! How big would a ship built with a price of tens of thousands taels? Four thousand tons? Or five thousand tons? Not a treasure ship, right?

"Report to Your Majesty, the ship is not very big. However, this ship is made quite luxuriously, in order to be decent when he is envoyed and envoyed, and to reflect the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. Now, the Ministry of Revenue has no money and cannot send the envoy to this envoy!" This man sincerely advised the emperor not to care about this matter.

Yang Jing stared at me. He originally wanted to do something for China in the future, but he did not expect that the Ming Dynasty's finances were so urgent that even tens of thousands of taels of silver could not be afforded. There was a big gap between the desire to send troops to garrison Ryukyu and seek a "legacy" for China in the future. Maybe he had to pay for this matter himself, Yang Jing realized.

"Then you can't just drag it like this, right? Wouldn't you be appointed as the King of Zhongshan in Ryukyu? Are you still waiting to be the king? It's not good for you to drag it like this. If you really have no money, I'll sponsor it. Don't build such luxury in this ban. Yang Jing decided to do it according to his own wishes, contact the Ryukyu Kingdom as soon as possible, and station troops as soon as possible, resulting in iron historical facts. This is also a blessing for future generations.

Yang Jingyi made a quick decision to pay money, but this minister's words made Yang Jingyi "thunder".

"Report to Your Majesty, this envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom arrived a few years ago. Now, I have been in the capital for seven or eight years. The Prince Shangfeng of the Ryukyu Kingdom has probably ascended the throne as the king. It doesn't matter whether our dynasty will send an envoy to the throne or not.... It's better, Your Majesty, when the court has become rich in the years, Your Majesty will send envoys to envoy. At that time, building a large envoy will not lose the dignity and majesty of our dynasty!"

Yang Jing felt that the sky was thundering. He had heard of bureaucrats being procrastinated in doing things, but had never seen such procrastination. Other kings ascended the throne and were waiting for your enthronement. If you arrive, you will be delayed for seven or eight years. I am afraid that the king's neck should grow like a giraffe. Don't look at any gift. It came seven or eight years ago. I'm afraid that this gift will not be known where it has gone.

Yang Jie felt that this was really terrifying. Since you are someone else's sect leader, you must enthrone the right enthronement. If you can't even afford to enthrone the right enthrone, then don't wear the hat of this sect leader, which is embarrassing. Let's settle the matter early.

"My dear friends, is this the case for the Ming Dynasty? Others' kings ascended the throne and looked forward to the enthronement of our dynasty, as if they were looking forward to the rain. Good good friends, I want to save a few silver and money, and even the hat of this priest country is not needed. Since I don't want it, tell them quickly, I can't afford to be your priest country. Let's do it early and don't delay their youth. Think of my dynasty as a huge empire with a territory of thousands of miles and a population of tens of thousands of people. Can't even save a priest ship? What's wrong with my dynasty?" Yang Jing said a lot, and the ministers on the ground all shrank their necks and kept silent. This time they were scolded by the emperor, and they could be said to be incomplete and were ashamed. Indeed, is this huge dynasty so poor that they can't afford to even a priest ship? If you say it, who else believes it?

"I am guilty..." Seeing the emperor saying this, the ministers knelt down and claimed that they were guilty.

Yang Jing became angry. The ministers used their ultimate move "ae", so they had to persuade them to not lose their temper.

"Everyone, your family will get up. My words are indeed a bit serious about this matter. However, as I said, the title of this priest country is still needed, and the ship seal must be sent out. The reward and return gift must be more decent. Since the Ministry of Revenue has no silver, then I will find a way to do this matter. Oh..." Yang Jing pretended to behave and said that he had paid some money to deal with this matter. In fact, he wanted to spend some money to station troops in Ryukyu. In this way, Ryukyu became China's "inherent territory". If you want to abandon this place in the future, you have to consider how future generations scold you.
