Emperor Daming and Yu Qian looked at each other and smiled, and both the monarchs and ministers understood the meaning without words.

"Yu Shaobao, it's hard for you to kneel in Nanjing once. I went to care about the clan, and only said that I cared about them, and if the white crane did something bad, I would just reprimand the white crane. Emperor Ming gave Yu Qian an excuse to go south.

Yang Ning said at this time: "Long live, the minister has something to do." The prince of Goryeo and his younger brother wanted to go to Beijing to thank them, and at the same time hoped that they would be allowed to go south to Nanjing to purchase some goods, because the Ming merchants brought too few goods to Hanyang City. According to the trade regulations left by the white cranes, they were free to choose the goods they needed after they had supplied them with enough goods. and not silver and gold for it. ”

"Such a trifle!" Zhu Qiyu really didn't take it to heart.

Yang Ning added: "Long live, it's not a trivial matter. ”

"How big?" Zhu Qiyu said in his heart that Li's Goryeo is a small state, how big a thing can it be.

Yang Ning took out the notebook and held it in his hand, and after a eunuch took it and sent it to the imperial case, Yang Ning said: "The minister asked the envoy of Li's Goryeo, the 10 million stone of crude iron ore purchased by Bai Minghe this year, there are twenty 1,500 material ships every day from Li's Goryeo North, Daming Tumen River to the sea, and then transported to Shandong Andongwei, where there is a large coal mine, as well as feldspar and other white crane steel mills can be used, and there is a huge steel mill that the minister can't think of. ”

"Twenty of a kind!" Zhu Qiyu said in his heart, it's really a lot. That kind of big sea ship, one ship can carry a lot of cargo.

"Hooray, it's twenty departures a day, but it's not running on the sea. Shirana Crane put more than 100 boats there, and 20 were to be loaded and shipped out of the port every day. Bai Minghe didn't want Lee's Goryeo to be smelted into crude iron, only iron ore. The iron ore in Maoshan is not underground, but on the ground. Lee's Goryeo sent tens of thousands of laborers there just to ensure that twenty ships could be filled every day. ”

Twenty ships, twenty ships full of fifteen hundred materials a day.

At least 30,000 stones of ore per day, no matter how cheap this thing is, it is higher than the price of rice. The current pig iron stone in the Ming Dynasty is one tael and six coins of silver, and one stone of wrought iron is about three taels of silver. Ordinary steel is four to five taels, and the market value of the white crane is seven taels and one stone in Daming, that is, seven cents of silver per catty of iron.

Those iron ore white cranes are calculated according to one pound and one cent of silver, one stone and two silver.

Ten million stones, is a thousand taels of silver?

Zhu Qiyu was frightened by this number, and if he folded it in half, there would be five million taels of silver. Bai Minghe gave five million taels of silver to the Li family in a year, thinking of this number. Zhu Qiyu understood why the prince and the younger brother of the Li family came to thank him, and the Li family of Goryeo had not saved five million taels of silver for decades.

Not to mention tens of thousands of workers, even hundreds of thousands of workers are not many.

"Hooray. In addition to iron ore, Shiramei Crane also has other purchases. One catty, five taels, three taels, and one or two white porcelain bottles. The white-named crane costs tens of millions a year, and it is worth three taels of silver for one load, and I am afraid that it will be a transaction of more than one million taels. In addition to these, there are many white cranes to procure, and the palace of the Lee family of Goryeo has been written throughout the country, claiming that in order to work hard for ten million taels of silver a year, and work hard to grow mulberry. Work hard. ”

Hearing these words, Yu Qian said quietly.

"That's how it goes. Bai Minghe will be able to save all the guards of the Ming Dynasty in two years and replace them with steel knives. ”

"What I think about is how much difference the white crane has earned in the middle. If he can give Li Goryeo 10 million taels, then he will have 10 million taels. Yu Shaobao, sue sù white name crane. Hamiwei had to make a sacrifice for me this time, and only he supported the trade routes westward, and Hamiwei prospered. Both the garrison and the civilian escort regiment are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Command!" Yu Qian silently sympathized with Bai Minghe, this sacrifice must be a lot.

How easy it is to earn money at sea. Let the white crane put his energy on the northwest desert, and it's strange that the white crane doesn't jump.

Nanjing's white-named crane doesn't know that he has become a father, and these days are relaxed. Walk around every day, promoting the monetary reform and the formation of an economic circle here in Nanjing. In addition to work, it is to accompany Qinghe and Huaiyu, but during this time, Bai Minghe never went to Piaoxue Tower.

There is a wharf in the White Horse Pavilion, and the white crane goes to the lake once every three to five days to see the progress of the five islands.

The first thing to be completed is the racetrack and the woods, which are too easy for the Ministry of Engineering under Da Ming. Want a tree? There are too many mountains to dig up and transplant some small trees, which not only will not destroy the woods, but also give new life to some small trees that are already difficult to grow in the dense towering trees.

Finally, spring blossomed.

The white crane sat on the flower workshop, enjoying the spring scenery of Xuanwu Lake while chatting with Huaiyu and Qinghe.

"Count the days, my son should be born. There is no phone either! Bai Minghe blurted out that it was a phone call, Huaiyu didn't hear this word, and Qinghe didn't ask much when he heard it. He just said, "In terms of days, it should have been seven days ago." But listening to the medical officer, it is difficult to say that this birth is a child, a few days earlier, a few days later is normal, there should be a letter sent in the capital, I am afraid that it will be delivered in a few days. ”

"Forty ......" Bai Minghe wanted to say forty weeks, but Daming didn't have this algorithm.

Daming's algorithm is all October.

Bai Minghe changed his words: "It should be two hundred and eighty days, and it should be three days ago!" ”

"No, it's two hundred and seventy-six days, seven days ago. But last time, the imperial doctor also said that it is normal to be ten days early and ten days late. The original medical officer was speculated to be born two hundred and seventy-six days. Qinghe was a little excited about this kind of thing, because her stomach hadn't reacted yet.

As a woman, having a child is what she is looking forward to.

Huaiyu just stupidly picked up the candy to eat, and even said: "My brother-in-law is still very good at night, this is to give birth to a doll, but it is also excellent not to give birth to a doll." ”

"Shame, shame!" Qinghe hurriedly covered Huaiyu's mouth, how could he say this kind of thing casually.

Bai Minghe turned his head to the lake on the side, he couldn't let Qinghe see that he was laughing, in fact, sometimes the activities at night are not to give birth, and this is not wrong.

"Let's go ......," Qinghe was about to say, going north to see if the garden in Liangzhou was already in full bloom.

A fast boat, eight people rowed hard this way.

"My lord, Lord Shangshu Yu of the Ministry of War has just disembarked at the Nanjing dock with a scepter in hand, and this should be about to reach the White Horse Pavilion. Lord Yu said, let your lord prepare a room for him, and he is not going to go to the courtyard. Also, let you prepare a wine and a feast! ”

"My son was born, this one needs to draw a lot, see what the name is!"

Bai Minghe took out a dozen pieces of paper, these are a dozen names he came up with, and he has never been able to make up his mind, so he will have to draw one.

"My lord, Yu Shangshu of the military department has arrived."

"The military department is in the ......" Bai Minghe repeated halfway, his eyes glared: "What, he's here again." What is he here for? Did he hear something, or did he have some plans? Isn't there any news about the East Factory? How could he come, how could he come? ”

After the white crane reacted, he was a little incoherent.

Qinghe just waved his hand at the leader of the East Factory, signaling for the boat to turn around and go back.

The leader of the East Factory hurriedly ordered the shipwrights on the ship to turn around and return to the White Horse Pavilion.

Why did Yu Qian come, not to mention the white-named crane, even Wang Cheng was very nervous. There was no news in advance, and several leaders of the East Factory who came with the ship this time didn't even know at all, only that after Banzai gave Bai Minghe a gift, he asked Yu Qian to go south in person.

What kind of character is Yu Qian, who can be counted by Da Ming with his fingers at the moment, and he is definitely among the top five in the top five.

It is definitely not a trivial matter for such a big man to come to Nanjing in person.

And his own adult white name crane, the only thing he can't deal with is this is located in Shangshu, Yu Shaobao.

As soon as Yu Qian came, he didn't live in the courtyard, nor did he live in the residence arranged here in Nanjing, so he directly asked Bai Minghe to arrange a room for him at home. It seems that he is coming for the white crane, but why is he here, why is there no news? Yu Qian may have a long live secret decree in his hands.

The three great eunuchs Jin Ying, Xing'an, and Cheng Jing also didn't have any hints to send them, even if it could only be said that it was not a bad thing, but it was not necessarily a troublesome thing.

Wang Cheng accompanied Yu Qian from the waterway to change the boat to the White Horse Pavilion.

"Wang Da stall!" Yu Qian called the official name: "Have the Koreans arrived?" ”

"Some people came to the front station, and it seemed that they wanted to buy a place in Nanjing to get them a long-term point. My family has already responded to this matter, and the place was chosen in Meihua Mountain in the south of Nanjing, where there is a waterway that can go straight to the Yangtze River, and they have also set aside a 200-acre vacant land to build a warehouse. ”

Wang Cheng told Yu Qian about Goryeo in 1510.

"Banzai heard that there are tens of millions of taels of goods purchased from Goryeo every year, not to talk about official business, just small talk. Do you think these are too much? Yu Qian put on a casual attitude.

In the face of people like Qian, Wang Cheng is under pressure.

Wang Cheng is not afraid of big officials, big corrupt officials, and not afraid of the kind of big officials who are prestigious. It's just that Yu Qian, a very low-key, very amiable person, but a person who is upright and has an orderly work, makes him a little at a loss.

Since Yu Qian asked, Wang Chengxin said that it would be true to the secret anyway.

"Yu Shaobao, Dongchang sent reliable people in Goryeo. If there is less silver, it will be like a bone thrown at a dog, and the dog will not smell the bone without meat. My family is 10 million taels at a time, and this is a meat steak. For the sake of these businesses, the Li family has been divided into three factions internally, and there is constant open and secret fighting, even in Meihua Mountain, and in front of us. ”

Yu Qian nodded slightly.

"My adults said that if the dogs don't bite each other in the nest, they will bite the people outside the nest together, and it will be very scary."

Yu Qian couldn't help but smile: "Okay, that's good!" (To be continued......)

PS: Changing the chapter name, the author himself can't do it.

I have a lot of time to see if I can change it. The key is to change a lot at once, hehe.
