Boracay Island, this is a small island that has donated gold, and the ten major merchant gangs have all contributed silver.
Shirana Crane loves it here because of its white sandy beaches.
The merchants loved it because it was a very good transit point, and to the south was the real South Seas, where there was a lot of wealth, and in the Sulu Islands, the little Luzon clan planted countless sugar cane plantations, abaaca plantations, bananas and other fruits.
There are several Nanyang routes in the Ming Dynasty, and one or two of them pass through this island.
It's not that the port of Manila is bad, but this is an island that completely belongs to Huaxia, where businessmen feel more at ease than in Manila, and the people who are active here all speak Chinese, even the merchants and craftsmen of Luzon also speak Chinese, and their living habits are no different from those in the interior.
What's more, there are a large number of temples and Taoist temples here.
Siamese monks also came here, not only to communicate with the temple, but also to communicate with the Taoist temple.
Bai Minghe took Hua Mei with him, just the two of them, there would be no danger here, but there were guards secretly following from a distance.
There is a pure wood building complex by the sea, there is no wall, the building in the middle seems to be Taoist, and the surrounding circle of houses is not in the local style, it is combined with the local climate, built in the Chinese style.
When Bai Minghe and Li Huamei walked to the Taoist temple, there were already many people here.
It looks like a small market, but when you get closer, you know that this is a gathering area. There are no residences, only teahouses and wine shops. There is not even an inn, there is no shop, only a grocery stall in front of the teahouse, and there are only a very few goods, nothing more than matches, needlework and the like.
saw Bai Minghe and Li Huamei appear. The businessmen here also only glanced at it.
The teahouse does not have a square table like in inland China, just a small folding table and two bamboo stools. A young man with short hair but a blue cloth scarf wrapped his head came over and saluted with one hand: "But a good man wants tea?" ”
Hearing this title, the white name crane said in his heart, is this teahouse this Taoist temple?
"Well, I want tea, if I want a snack." Shiramei Crane smiled and nodded.
"Good man, please wait!" The young trail saluted again. Soon came over with a pot of tea, and then a plate of peanuts, a plate of pastries, a plate of dried mangoes, and a plate of assorted fresh fruits.
The white crane asked, "How much silver?" ”
"You are as good as you like, and Xiaoguan has no requirements."
Bai Minghe nodded, and didn't mention any more money, and the small way retreated.
The two guards who followed the guards in the distance also came. But instead of sitting on the side of the white crane, he was on another table a dozen steps away. He put down a silver ticket with five taels written on it, but the other left a hundred taels.
The little Taoist priest's face was as usual, and he accepted this almsgiving, and the tea and snacks on it were no different from Bai Minghe's table.
Bai Minghe took out a cigar from his carry-on bag, but was held down by Hua Mei: "The medical officer said that it is not allowed." Endure it for five more days! "Finished. Directly confiscated the bag of the white crane.
"Little brother, let your mother-in-law take care of it." Someone suddenly shouted, using the Guanzhong dialect. You must know that Hua Mei opened her mouth just now, and it was the accent of the capital.
Bai Minghe smiled self-deprecatingly, and also responded in the Guanzhong dialect: "This brother is from the Tai Qin Gang? ”
"Yes. Qin Gang's. This time to the south to harvest dried fruits, these days there is a lot of rain, dry goods at least to wait for the day to be completely open, so waiting. What is the little brother coming to collect? ”
"Collect ......" Bai Minghe really doesn't know what is in this sea area south of Little Luzon now, although the place is very large, and the area is twice that of Little Luzon, but Bai Minghe has not watched it, many things are in the first courtyard, as well as the Department of Commerce, and the merchants themselves to make it.
Seeing Bai Minghe's embarrassment, the merchant smiled: "It seems that he is an idler, not a businessman." ”
"Yes!" Bai Minghe hugged his fists: "It's to come and see this sea, this beach." ”
Everyone laughed, but no one cared. It is not strange for some young people from big families to come out and see the world, but now it is no more than a few years ago, although the word tourism has not yet appeared, but for overseas scenery, there are also many literati and artists who are willing to come out to see.
"Little brother can he take the exam?"
"I have been lifted in the middle, and I am ......, and I have limited knowledge and have not taken the test again." Shira-naka Crane is telling the truth.
Hearing this, looking at the reactions of the people around her, Hua Mei frowned, and the two guards were also a little nervous, because they felt the suspicion in the expressions of the people around them.
Sure enough, the person who asked the question shook his head: "Little brother, I'm afraid that you look down on us rough people who are businessmen, although you look like us Guanzhong people, but you don't have the coolness of Guanzhong people, and your words are full of untruths." Anyway, since the words are not speculative, I just bothered. "Anyway, he hugged his fists and ignored the white crane.
Shira-naka chose to drink tea here, originally wanting to hear these people chat.
Or some exchanges, or you can listen to the thoughts of ordinary small businessmen on the Nanyang policy, but how can they offend people as soon as they open their mouths.
And the people who were originally chatting will stop talking.
The atmosphere of this teahouse is very oppressive, not only for the white cranes, but also for the people who were originally seated. It's like in a modern school, everyone is talking about the spring outing, and suddenly the class leader comes in and wants to talk to the classmates about the exam after the spring outing, which is out of tune.
"My husband is a nerd, and it's because he can't talk to people that the family let him go out for a walk and see it." Hua Mei stood up.
Generally speaking, very few women, especially married women, take the initiative to speak to outsiders.
This was an apology, but still no one spoke.
"Forget it, let's go back. Now that I think about it, I really don't talk to people seriously, and I don't speak anymore. It's a sin to stay here and ruin everyone's mood. Well, go back. The white crane got up, sighed deeply, and walked in the direction of coming.
The two guards quickly got up and took a few steps back. After the white crane left, he followed far away.
Watching the white crane walk away, someone suddenly said, "Isn't it the son of a big man?" ”
"Not like that!" A merchant replied, and then explained: "It looks unassuming, but it feels like a person who has seen the world, and it is definitely not like the woman who says what she says, and cannot speak." ”
"It doesn't matter who he is. There is everything that comes to this South Seas. "There are also businessmen who don't think the matter is worth discussing.
But if you have to inquire about something good, an old man said: "Taoism talks about meditation, why do you want to investigate who a passer-by is?" Whether it is a small person in Gaojing, or a high position, a small person lives a small life, and a big man also has his life. ”
"It's just curiosity, don't sell it when you're old."
The old man thought for a moment and said to the boy, "Little boy, catch up and ask." Just say that if you ask a good person to leave a word, how can you be considered a good citizen? ”
Xiao Daotong rushed to catch up, and the two guards saw that Xiao Daotong was chasing up, and they were not too nervous, but their eyes were fixed on Daotong, and the Daotong did not chase too close, and shouted from a distance to ask the question.
Bai Minghe stopped and thought about it: "Work hard to earn silver, work hard to spend silver." It's the good people! ”
"Thank you, good guy!" Dao Tong saluted, turned around and ran away.
Only then did Bai Minghe say to Hua Mei: "Actually, think about it. Since the day I first saw Yuan Jun, I haven't spoken to anyone normally. In Xiaquan Village, even my uncle respected me for three points, and at that time, I was only thinking about solving the problems in the village, so I had a commanding mentality. ”
Hua Mei didn't know about those days. So just listening.
"Then I entered Beijing, the people I dealt with were all officials, and naturally my speech was not very normal, and after I arrived in Hepu, I didn't even have a care, especially after receiving Da Nang. The mentality has changed. I can't help but let myself feel like a superior, and these people in high positions are becoming more and more abnormal. ”
"You're not a pool thing!" Hua Mei said next to her.
"Go, go back. Rest for two days, feast on the clan, and then there will be a bucket. Look at the husband to guide the country, and smile proudly in the world! The white crane laughed heartily a few times, and strode back along the beach.
The two guards didn't think much about it, originally Bai Minghe was not an ordinary person, and there was no need to integrate into the life of ordinary people.
The person who is supposed to guide the world is himself a person in a high position. I want to know the situation of the people, what do I want to know, and what about Dongchang, as well as officials at all levels, micro-service, close to the people, and do not belong to the white crane. If the true identity is known, there will be chaos, and they don't want anyone to know the true identity of the white crane.
In the teahouse outside the Taoist temple, Daotong relayed Bai Minghe's words.
"What kind of bullshit is this, it seems like a nerd is really a real nerd."
The old man shook his head: "You are too vulgar, this is very meaningful, think about it with your heart." ”
"Who's that man?" A crowd of people gathered around the old man.
The old man shook his head: "Maybe I guessed, but I can't say it, and I don't dare to say it." I only tell you two sentences, the person who can really realize the depths of the sentence just now can at least be a big official with more than four grades in the household department, or a big businessman with an annual income of one million taels. ”
"Is it really a big shot?" There are many people who want to catch up, not to get acquainted with big people, but to ask for advice or two, and if they don't understand this profoundness, they can always come up with a few simple words that ordinary people can understand.
The old man didn't explain again, because he probably guessed that one is a Guanzhong person, who is young and can't communicate with ordinary people. Follow the top warriors as escorts, and more importantly, the old man saw the ship at sea, and everyone in the world knew that the ship with obvious characteristics, the Sagara Dragon King.
Thinking of it again, the little woman who dares to speak in front of outsiders can only be alone.
So the old man didn't want to guess anymore, and he didn't dare to say.
Bai Minghe returned to his residence, and the first thing he said when he entered the house was: "Come here, take the dossier of the seven major islands of Luzon, only pick the key points, just watch it for fun!"
