mentioned the words of the princess in the palace, and Takeda Nobuei was also thinking about it.

"I heard that too, what about Oda-kun?"

"I have a good ear and listen more closely. It seems that the lady of Lord Bai is a princess, and there are many people from the Ming Palace around him. Just now, General Lei was asking him to borrow the excellent craftsmen in the palace. After Oda Nong replied very strictly, he said: "A powerful country like the Ming Dynasty, a young man with great power, who is courteous by the military attache of the third rank, and who is also a member of the imperial family, may have ...... power in his hands" Oda Nong didn't want to talk about it because of his identity.

However, Nanbu Hibisuke was direct enough: "Perhaps, it is stronger than all the forces of our entire Wajima combined." ”

As several people were talking, the ship had arrived at the berth.

Humen Wharf is divided into three places, one is the transshipment berth, that is, the big ship is poured into the small boat, and the water channel begins to be transported inland. The other is the military merchant wharf, which is the wharf dedicated to the military fleet of the white crane who does business in the open sea, and the wharf is surrounded by the largest number of merchants. This pier is also interlaced with a small berth.

The last place is the special berth for Fuchuan, which is only for Fuchuan to use the Shenzhen-Hong Kong berth.

The goods that could be transported by the fortune ship were a huge amount of goods, valuable goods, and the white cranes were not intended to be seen by the merchants. So the security here is also the strictest.

After disembarking, there were twenty teams of sergeants patrolling the pier with spears alone.

"Lord Bai, General Lei!" An official from the dock came over to give a salute, and after the salute, he hurried to the shed on the pier. Takeda Nobuei and the others looked at it clearly, and the captains of these ships were resting under that shed, saying that it was rest and work. There were many scribes there.

Looking at them, it seems that they have received a new task.

The Fuchuan began to unload the goods, and the flatbed trucks on the dock had formed a long queue, and a door opened on the waterline of the Fuchuan boat. Then ten special carts were pushed over, and when they got close to the Fukufune, the wheels were removed and placed directly on the ground. Then the long shelf was placed on one end of the ship, and the other end was placed in a large wooden fence.

Bags of rice were slid down the smooth shelves.

From the boat to the dock, there was a distance of more than ten zhang, and this bag of rice slipped into the wooden fence in a blink of an eye.

Ten packs in one car. The speed was so fast that the mouths of the three guests of the Wa Kingdom opened wide in shock. But in a blink of an eye, I figured out how many goods they had, and they just had to move them by people. The ship of Daming is 30,000 stones, and looking at the size of this bag, a bag is half a stone of rice. 60,000 bags have to be carried by manpower, and I don't know how long it will take.

Bai Minghe held his hands on his chest, and he just let the Japanese people see it.

Only by seeing them with their own eyes can they know how powerful Daming is, and only when they are shocked can they continue to talk.

"Load!" I don't know where a shout came from.

The carriage in front of a door that had been emptied was quickly turned back into a wheeled cart and headed for the next boat. The other one is ten feet long. The odd-looking cart was pushed over.

Soon the shelves unfolded, and it was no longer a slide, but a soft ten-zhang long platform made of rope.

Four oxen pulled a winch and began to turn slowly, and another cart was pushed, this time not empty, but bags and bags of things wrapped in gray linen.

Bai Minghe just gave a look, and Zeng Tao immediately arranged for the sergeant to carry over three bags and put them in front of the Japanese people.

Each large bag, inside is ten pieces of cloth. Snow-white fine white linen.

Takeda Nobuei's eyes were straight, not because of the quality of the cloth. Instead, he saw him lined up in a long line of cricket convoys, and he didn't know how many of these fine white cloths there were, and this thing could be exchanged for at least ten dollars a horse on Wajima.

The white crane frowned, because this one seemed to be much smaller.

"Did the Xingshou Yuan revise the standards?"

"Back to the words of the adults. The standard will not change, but this is an order. According to the requirements over there, the purchasing power of ordinary people is limited. So two different batches were added. One is supplied to the military, and one horse is changed to 240 feet and is called a large horse. The other is private purchase, which increases the packaging of small horses to be 40 feet, and the packaging of half horses. The width is unified to four feet! ”

After listening to Zeng Tao's explanation, Bai Minghe said that there was really no need to report this trivial matter to himself.

"Good. Sue sù line first court. Add different packaging weights to each item and set the standard. Let all merchants strictly follow these standards. ”

Bai Minghe knows that the thickness of the yarn, the weight of a hundred zhang of yarn, the density of weaving, etc., have strict standards in the Xingshou Academy.

"Venerable Lord Bai, we, the Takeda family, would like your advice. If you want to increase the two types of trading items, is it possible to increase the trading methods of gold, silver, and copper before the mulberry tree grows? And there's that, slaves! ”

It was not without reason that Takeda mentioned this slave.

Before he came to Daming, there was a foreign war, the scale was not large, only a few hundred people fought. But there were thousands of slaves caught, and male slaves could work and fight. Slave girls who are old and ugly can also work, but they are young and beautiful.

How much is the value of work, the value of a beautiful maid on the Ming side, a hundred ordinary female slaves in the top country, or even more.

"Yes!" Shira-naka didn't think much about it.

He didn't even know that the Wa Kingdom of this era had the third most populous country in the world. The Ming Dynasty is the first, with about 88 million people and a population of 100 million. In second place is the Sultan of Delhi, which has just completed the declaration of war, with a population of about 36 million. And the third is the Wa Kingdom, which is so large that it has a population of 16 million.

The war of the Ming Dynasty was a war of annihilation, and the casualties were bound to be huge.

Most of the wars of the Japanese were crushing battles, and when the people were scattered and the enemy fled, it was over.

In this era, the ratio of men to women of the Wa people has reached a crisis according to modern terms, and it is normal in areas such as Kyoto. There are many wars, remote and hard, and there are a hundred women in a village near the sea and there are probably not ten men.

"My lord, please kill those who don't want to kneel in front of your lords!" Nobuei Takeda requested for the second time.

Bai Minghe was stunned for a moment, seeing that the attitudes of the three widows were almost the same, he felt that they might have discussed something in private.

Takeda Nobuei is definitely a ruthless person: "My lord, we will tell everyone when we go back, and many ships have sunk in the face of wind and waves." Our retainers of the Takeda family are loyal, and they don't talk nonsense. ”

Bai Minghe smiled: "Very good, I will arrange a fleet of ships in Naha, any ship without your permission will be sunk by the wind and waves!" The white crane deliberately bit the word wind and waves with an accent.

Nanbu Hibiki also asked at this time: "Please allow us to recommend a few more, the son-in-law of the Miyoshi family is also in the camp, and the Miyoshi family must be willing to cooperate with the adults." ”

Shira-naitsu didn't speak immediately, but looked at the three of them.

After five minutes of silence, Bai Minghe spoke: "Give you three days, and after three days, the decision between life and death is in your hands." I will provide sufficient weapons and troops. "Bai Minghe thinks a lot, and he also needs a sincerity.

Takeda Nobuei is very honorable: "My lord, Takeda Nobuei is willing to present the heads of Ashikaga retainers!" ”

"Good!" The white crane is happy in his heart.

I'm not afraid that you are not ambitious, but I am afraid that you are not ambitious. "Each family, 10,000 catties of steel is my gift, these do not need to be exchanged by you, and then no matter how many supplies you can provide, I will send a big ship close to Wajima......" Bai Minghe thought for a while and asked: "Choose a landing place!" ”

"Izu!" Nanbu Hibiki opened his mouth and said, "The sixth generation of the Takeda family, Lord Shinmasa, the tenth head of the family, Lord Shinbu, and the twelfth head of the family, Lord Shinharu, all used to be Mamoru Izu. There is a deep influence in Izu, and the current Izu Mamoru Hojo-sama married Nobunei-kun's sister, and Nobuei-kun's wife is also Hojo-sama's sister. ”

"It's up to you to make these details." Shira-naka didn't continue on the topic like this.

"After three days, you make a list, and as long as you have enough in exchange, I will give you enough supplies. Even my Ming Dynasty's fire system. But a year later, I will have a requirement for the amount of raw silk every year, and the demand for raw silk in Daming is huge, and only one silk dress per person in Daming will take fifteen years of raw silk accumulation. ”

"Hello!"

After sending off the three Japanese family masters, Bai Minghe leaned back in the soft chair and let out a long breath.

"Your Excellency!" Zeng Tao arranged for the three of them to get on the boat and returned to the front of the white crane.

"Tell the news to the adults, and then start laying out the plan. Select a few very good operators and form a staff committee dedicated to Wajima. My ultimate goal is that in fifteen years, more than half of the people on Wajima will starve to death if there is no food for me, and our Ming firearms troops must be able to easily defeat the cold weapons troops of the Japanese people with one enemy and ten. ”

Bai Minghe spoke very slowly, and in his tone, even a scribe like Zeng Tao could hear the endless killing intent.

Zeng Tao knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily: "The students will do their best to assist the adults to complete this plan, and the great deeds of the adults will be passed down through the ages." ”

At night, in the courtyard of Zhan'ao Island, Zeng Tao stood with his hands down.

Yu Qian, Jieji, Yang Neng, Yang Shan, Deng Hailong, Mao Sheng, Liu Mingxuan and more than a dozen people were taking turns reading Zeng Tao's handwritten book, Bai Minghe's fifteen-year plan for Wadao. This is just a rough outline, and there is no detailed plan for every step of the year.

Yu Qian, who had been closing his eyes, finally reacted, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said softly: "The fangs of the white crane are finally exposed, I thought that the white crane was already full of murder to little Luzon, but compared to the Japanese people. Yu Qian put down the teacup and said word by word: "Bai Minghe is really benevolent!" ”

"The old Bai family has a grudge against the Japanese people?" Mao Sheng really couldn't understand what made Bai Minghe so cruel to the Japanese people.

At this time, Jieji asked Deng Hailong: "General Deng, what have you talked about with Xiaobai?" ”

Deng Hailong shook his head: "This plan also scared me. What I just thought in my heart was that this white crane had a deeper hatred for the Japanese people than I did, and this was not influenced by anyone, but he wanted to destroy the Japanese people from the bottom of his heart. Although I am ruthless, this plan also makes me break out in a cold sweat. (To be continued......)
