"Don't worry, Uncle came with a canonization gold scroll this time, and Empress Dowager Sun accepted Sun Yuanjun as her daughter. As for the reason, don't ask, it's not that you know what you should know right now, you're still you. Do what you should do. But there is one thing you have to promise, the princess of Daming, it depends on you. ”

Bai Minghe first breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately trembled in his heart, what is the princess of Daming relying on me.

Xing'an didn't realize his language disease, and continued to speak: "Da Ming is afraid of the dictatorship of his relatives, but the princess of Da Ming must not give tragedy again, this is the oath I made in front of the tomb of Princess Changning." But after making an oath, you find that you can't do anything, and now with you, you can change this qiē. ”

Bai Minghe touched his neck, and his head must have been saved.

Sun Yuanjun was canonized as a princess, will there be perverted old virgins?

"The palace maids will naturally be sent, but do they dare to stop you? Starting from you, since you are the daughter of the Heavenly Family, you naturally can't marry an ordinary man, and naturally you can't have what happened to Princess Changning. This qiē, starting from you as a minister, the Ming Dynasty will soon have two princes to choose sons-in-law. An eleven-year-old princess of Chongqing, the eldest daughter of the emperor. The other, the eldest princess, Princess Yongqing, has already chosen a husband, you can do it! ”

Xing'an only introduced the princess of Chongqing in detail, but did not mention Princess Yongqing at all. Who is this princess Yongqing, that is, the one whose history is unknown, and whose current name is ...... Huaiyu's little Dao Aunt! The eldest princess of Yongqing.

Bai Minghe nodded solemnly. This requirement, he will fight.

Whether it is for Xing'an's heart-to-heart New Year's friendship, or for the tragedy of Princess Changning.

(Note: The real tragedy in history is Princess Yongning of the Ming Dynasty.) And it was in 1567. It's miserable)

"According to the rules, you should be made a lieutenant. However, the Banzai Imperial Decree is not allowed to be sealed, because what awaits you will be a seal. So don't worry about it, little lieutenant. Empress Dowager Sun's golden book, the hundred officials in the capital do not know. So don't think about it, wait for your three-year term to expire and return to the capital. ”

There was a conspiracy, and after Bai Minghe calmed down, he felt that there was a conspiracy in it.

Empress Dowager Sun is the emperor, Zhu Qizhen's mother.

"Alright. This matter has been revealed. Let's talk about your affairs in the South China Sea, Uncle is interested in listening! Xing'an unceremoniously called himself an uncle in front of the white crane, this nephew received it well, and the white crane was the dragon among the people.

Bai Minghe first took a map of the South China Sea, and then pointed to the North Port of Little Luzon.

"Here, I'm going to build two ports. In fact, it is all nominally for gold mines, and the island is full of gold mines. But what I really care about is the blockade of the sea route, only our Ming ships can pass through Guò, and anyone who wants to go. It is not an exaggeration to venture around this big circle, and it is not an exaggeration to die on an undiscovered route. What's more, in no more than three years, I will also seal the road around the big circle here. ”

Xing'an looked at the map: "This one, only the Wa Kingdom!" ”

"Yes, there are more than 2,000 large and small sea vessels in the Japanese Kingdom. They all put Shennanzhang, Siam and other countries, proving that the power of the sea will not be small. This sealed their sea routes, and cut off the possibility of their sea trade. To trade. can only talk to me with a white crane, not to mention that I still have a trick. ”

Xing'an played with the hand beads in his hand.

"What are the advantages and disadvantages of sealing the sea route?"

"The benefits are not much, at most three or five million taels of silver a year. The disadvantage is that there may be wars, and they will not be soft if they are not afraid of the Japanese people. In Bai Minghe's tone, Xing'an already had a feeling. The white crane will definitely do this.

Xing'an felt strange and asked again: "Why?" ”

"It's very simple, Wajima is so big. Their population also increases, and every year there are earthquakes, tsunamis, and storms. Any one of them will kill and injure countless people, just an island. Their resources are limited, whether it's iron ore or whatever, there's always a number, and in this environment, what happens when their population reaches a limit and the land on the island doesn't have enough food? ”

"If you don't have anything to eat, you naturally have to find food to eat, and if you can't find it, you will rob it."

Xing'an figured out this truth, and then said: "So, your idea is to destroy them before they grow stronger?" ”

"It's too cruel to destroy them, it's good to have one more Fusang Province in Daming." Shirana Crane had a mischievous smile on his face.

Xing'an also smiled: "You kid is bad enough, but I like it!" ”

"As for their emperor, Deng Hailong and the people who died on my Daming Sea Line, they always need a sacrificial item. What's more, Uncle Xing looked at this ...... "The white-named crane pointed at Malacca."

Xing'an was puzzled and motioned for Bai Minghe to continue.

"Here, there are many Han people who came over during the Song Dynasty, even if they are not our Han people, they were once my Chinese sons and daughters. So one day, the Ming Dynasty's soldiers will definitely point here, no one is familiar with it here, there are too many dangers that they don't know, and they always need the vanguard troops, just like the trapping camp in ancient times. ”

Xing'an nodded slightly: "I'm afraid there will be no fewer dead people!" ”

"They won't let their women be left without men!" Bai Minghe said coldly.

Xing'an was stunned for a moment, and then slapped Bai Minghe lightly on the face: "Bastard thing, say this in front of your uncle." It's a bastard, but you kid is thinking far. Do you dare to control the Daming Water Master in your hands? ”

"Dare, and the army will be expanded tenfold, where there is a sea, there will be a Daming Sailor, if you don't give Banzai to those who kneel, then break their legs." The white crane is not a war maniac, but he must always give the Ming Emperor a promise.

"So, the current sea trade?"

"Someday, it's going to be handed over. Let the merchants trade freely, but wait for the normalization of commercial taxes. In fact, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty is said to be one in thirty draws, and one in twenty. But all kinds of miscellaneous taxes are harshly donated, and two out of ten are considered to be less. This is out of thin air, adding two percent to the price of goods. ”

"The people are still suffering." Xing'an is not a good eunuch in the true sense of the word, but he is a normal person.

There is compassion and there is hatred.

"I'll wait until you become a powerful minister, and I'll help you kill a few people recently. But you also have to do something to start using momentum. Let's start with the beginning, that is, you don't have to do it, but someone helps you clear your opponent. I'll be here until after the New Year, watching you take this first step! ”

Struggle is always brutal, and Shirakawa knows that he can't avoid it.

Well, that's all there is to be.

Hung Yen didn't really care about maritime trade, because he didn't understand business. He only needed to know that the white crane was talented and loyal to the Ming Emperor.

"Finally, I will tell you one thing, there are many slaves in the north, you can find a way to solve it yourself."

Bai Minghe heard about the slave, but his mind was all occupied by the more troublesome things that Xing'an told him.

If you don't do it yourself, you can't even do it with your own cronies, so that other people who don't have a big relationship will kill people, and this kind of difficult game Bai Minghe really doesn't have any confidence. The game is so crazy that Shirakawa believes that his brain cells will die at least a few million.

Is it a trick?

Shiramei Crane was ready to give it a try, so the next day Shiramei Crane went to the dock early in the morning, in the name of taking a look at the quality of this batch of goods. In fact, there are other plans.

Basket after basket of coconuts were carried onto the boat by the long lines of little Luzon slaves.

In fact, the slaves longed to work on the docks, because they could eat enough every day, and they could also bring a copy of the best to the family, and they could also get a piece of candy.

Watching the white crane arrive from a distance, Lu Qiyuan and Wang Yang both greeted him.

Lu Qiyuan is ahead, and Wang Yang is still a few steps away.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Bai Minghe looked at the big ship and seemed to be talking to himself: "This little Luzon coconut is not bad, and it can save three or four days of shipping schedule, and the price is the same." ”

Bai Minghe only turned around after finishing speaking, and saw that Wang Yang was just smiling, and immediately changed the topic: "Master Lu, this sub-package must be careful." If you don't pack them together, it's better to let them prepare more old coconuts. The white crane seems to have forgotten what he had just said.

Wang Yang listened to it in his heart, and he didn't have to think about it, in fact, he found out about this problem from the beginning.

Little Luzon and Sulu have the same quality of coconuts, and the transportation distance is still short, why the same price, at the moment, either the price for themselves, or the price for Sulu, of course, there is a way to take the coconuts, and then give them to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

But Little Luzon also has a problem, that is, they don't have big ships, and the cost of transportation is not low.

Wang Yang gave Bai Minghe a salute, excused himself to check the storage of abaca, and then left.

Lu Qiyuan watched Wang Yang leave before asking, "My lord, I'm afraid this will cause a dispute between Little Luzon and Sulu." Bai Minghe didn't answer, but just asked: "Xingshou Yuan has tested the shelf life of coconut fruit, is there still an oil yield?" ”

"I have tested, at the moment we only accept fully mature, with a skin weighing five to six pounds, the easiest way is to shake to hear the sound of water, can not hear the sound of water is full of water, not mature enough. This has the highest oil yield and can be stored for about 18 days. If you remove the outer skin, it can be stored for twenty-five days, and it is only forty percent in weight. ”

Bai Minghe nodded, Lu Qiyuan was still very attentive.

"You can think about raising the price of Little Luzon. The new price for the acquisition of peeled coconuts was also considered. But ......"

Shirana Crane said, but said no more.

Lu Qiyuan understood: "Adult, students understand. Naturally, there is no way to continue the conversation without enough benefits, but if little Luzon puts pressure on Sulu, how should the students deal with it. ”

Bai Minghe stretched out his hand and pointed around: "How many islands are there around here, Luzon Island only accounts for one-fifth of this area, now do you understand?" (To be continued......)
