As soon as he heard that the island country was coming, Tang Ming immediately lost interest, in fact, he didn't have any hatred with the island people now, and it didn't hurt to see him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBut the tragic history of later generations made him dislike this race, and even exuded a kind of resistance in his heart.

Tang Ming shook his head and said, "It's gone, let them leave!" Also, if they behave inappropriately, you don't need to be polite to them, the power of life and death is in your hands, just be bold and do it. ”

Fei Xin didn't understand why Tang Ming was very unfriendly to the people of the island country, but Hou Ye's decision naturally had his reasons, and besides, he himself didn't have a good impression of the island country, so he didn't ask why, and took the order to send it away!

was disturbed by this, Tang Ming lost his mind, and honestly asked Xiao Ding to get dressed and go to wash up by himself.

Chen Jialan's meal finally began to be served, Xiao Ding couldn't wait to come forward to help, and when Tang Ming came back from washing, a table full of food was already presented in front of him. Bai Xiaolan was very surprised that she didn't appear, although Tang Ming was a little puzzled, but he still didn't ask, he was afraid that he would ruin the atmosphere and make the two wives unhappy.

During the banquet, Chen Jialan suddenly asked Tang Ming about his daughter, there is no mother in the world who does not care about her daughter, especially when the child is so young, it is inevitable that Chen Jialan will always remember it. Tang Ming comforted her with understanding, little Jasmine has the meticulous care of the old housekeeper, but there is no problem, but the child is not around, this father and mother will always miss it.

Compared with Chen Jialan's subtlety, Xiao Ding Ke seemed to have no scruples, and the little girl complained to Tang Ming with one mouth: "Can't the prime minister bring Jasmine to Ryukyu Island?" Lord Yao and his father-in-law have gone to sea, why can't they take the child over to live, which makes my sister always worry about it every day. ”

At this moment, Tang Ming was speechless when asked, he also wanted to take the child over, but even if the old housekeeper agreed, he couldn't do it. Zhu Di will let him come to Ryukyu Island easily, and he will not stay in Nanjing because of his own flesh and blood, it can be said that the current little Jasmine is a hostage. Only when she is in Nanjing, Zhu Di will let Tang Ming out of his sight, no one said anything on the surface, but this is a rule, you don't need to say it, you can understand it.

"I also want to reunite as a family, but there are some things that are not decided by the father-in-law, and this matter has nothing to do with the father-in-law and the master, so don't blame them. In fact, if you really talk about it, you should thank them, at least Xiao Jasmine has such a father-in-law and ancestor, so she will not be wronged in Daming, and they have spent a lot of thought on this matter. Looking back at Zheng He's performance at that time, Tang Ming knew that he adopted Jasmine out of such considerations.

Although Chen Jialan didn't understand what Xiang Gong said, Xiang Gong's bitter face made her know that the problem was not as simple as she thought. She is empathetic, and she quickly mediated her emotions, and when she rarely has a reunion with her husband, the atmosphere should not embarrass everyone.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Chen Jialan deliberately changed the topic: "Xianggong won't be ready to leave when he comes back this time, right?" This Ryukyu Island is no worse than Jeju Island now, will we settle here in the future? ”

Compared to Jeju Island, Chen Jialan now prefers the environment of Ryukyu Island, which is a subtropical region and is not too cold even in winter. The climate is pleasant in all seasons, the most important thing is that it is closer to Daming.

Tang Ming smiled when he heard this, and said, "Don't go!" In the future, this will be our real home, and it will also be my base camp. However, the Ryukyu Island is still in the stage of development, so I can't spend much time with you. In two days, the husband will have to go to Luzon, and the two ladies will have to worry about the affairs of the family! ”

Chen Jialan and Tinker nodded in agreement, Tang Ming would take care of them even if they didn't say it, and the homely atmosphere while eating and chatting eased up. But at this time, Fei Xin came back again, and said with a helpless face: "Master Hou, not long after the envoy of the island country returned, another person who claimed to be the leader of the fleet came again, and he said conclusively that he must meet you and discuss important matters!" ”

"No, let them roll from there to there, Lao Tzu's time is precious and he doesn't have time to receive them." Tang Ming's face was resolute.

Fei Xin smiled bitterly and persuaded: "Master Hou may still see each other, their fleet is full of these things this time, I believe you are very interested!" ”

Saying that, Fei Xin handed the small wooden box he was holding in his hand to Tang Ming, a mysterious smile hung on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he had a great grasp of this thing, Tang Ming would definitely be moved.

Suspiciously, Tang Ming opened it casually, there was a small black stone lying in the small wooden box, frowned and played with it in his hand for a while, Tang Ming was not very sure and said, "This is iron ore?" ”

Nodding, Fei Xin said with a smile: "Yes, the people who want to see you said that they came here this time to bring iron ore to Guangzhou, but unfortunately the price was not negotiated properly this time, because the taxes of the Ming government were too high." I heard that we also purchased iron ore on Ryukyu Island, so I wanted to talk to Hou Ye. ”

"That's it!"

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Tang Ming asked again, "Did they say how much iron ore they brought over?" If the number is too small, it is not necessary for us at all. After all, there is already iron ore mining on Jeju Island, and although the amount is small, it is enough for our own use. ”

Fei Xin didn't seem to agree with Tang Ming's words, and waved his hand to argue: "Master Hou doesn't know, the iron ore on Jeju Island was already self-sufficient half a year ago, and the gap in iron ore is getting bigger and bigger. Especially in terms of treasure ships and cannons, because of the shortage of iron ore, it is no longer possible to continue production, so we should buy all the iron ore of this widow, no matter how much or too little. ”

I didn't expect that Jeju Island would be short of iron to such an extent, and if that was the case, then he really had to consider meeting this widow. The island nation is rich in iron ore, and many of them act as pirates to raid everywhere, and their metal deposits are not exhausted. Besides, the current island country is still a family system, and a family sits on a city, so their demand for ore is not large. It is only natural that they be traded for food or some family necessities.

Thinking of this, Tang Ming finally agreed to meet the envoy of this so-called island country, a fleet full of iron ore, and Tang Ming's thoughts flew for a while. At the moment, he was thinking about whether he would have time to get a vote from the island country, where the coastal cities were still very good, and it was worth his attention.
