Shimanaka Crane has a feeling of wanting to go crazy, but what can he do!

Seven days, a full seven days of waiting, counting the days every day, and personally taking care of the cave room prepared by himself every day.

Qinghe hid in the distance and secretly looked at Bai Minghe, and Huaiyu beside him asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law seems to care about that room, although it is very beautiful, it is not always my own room." ”

"Stupid girl, husband cares about you." Qinghe tapped on Huaiyu's head.

Huaiyu didn't quite understand, just nodded stupidly.

Finally, when he heard the palace maid say that Huaiyu's menstrual affair was over, Bai Minghe ran to the kitchen excitedly, and when he was about to cook a few side dishes himself, Bai Minghe's shadow-like guard appeared beside Bai Minghe. Fortunately, Shira-naka Crane is used to this ghostly lack of guys, and he is not scared.

"Master, the Ministry of Rites has sent an envoy, and Lord Yang Ningyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has already arrived at the dock. With the ship came three cargo ships, as well as representatives of the merchant gang. The rest of the officials, big and small, also have dozens of people, but they are not important to the master. "If the words of this guard reach the ears of civil officials, Bai Minghe can receive at least a hundred impeachments.

But the facts are the facts, and those ordinary petty officials can really ignore them completely.

Bai Minghe let out a long sigh: "What about the two adults, Hu and Gao? ”

"I'm already changing my uniform."

"Arrange a change of clothes, and I'll go and meet you too. Anyway, it's also my Daming Rite Department that has arrived, so I can't let the sticks despise us. "The white crane is really helpless, but what can be done, official business is always the most important.

Not to mention the white crane, even Huaiyu is very disappointed.

On the dock, the people of the Li family were already lined up, and Yang Ning had also disembarked. The white crane was notified a little late. However, this is what Yang Ning meant, Yang Ning thinks that it is the obligation of the Li family to greet him, and Bai Minghe, Hu Hu and Gao Gu came to greet him, which is just a welcome between his colleagues in the Ming Dynasty, which is a courtesy and a friendship.

If you greet it together. Then you will lose the face of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after the Li family Gaoli first greeted him according to the formal process, it was very appropriate for Hu Hui, Gao Gu and others to greet him as colleagues of the Ming Dynasty, even if he represented the envoy of the Ming Emperor, he did not want to hurt the face of his colleagues.

Yang Ning's excuse for coping with the banquet was the same as that of Bai Minghe.

King Wenzong of Goryeo of the Lee clan was seriously ill and should cancel the banquet and stop some singing and dancing.

After the necessary greeting process was completed, Yang Ning did not live in the garden where the white crane was, but lived in the welcome garden according to etiquette. After arranging his subordinates, Yang Ning came to the garden of the white crane.

Bai Minghe, Yang Ning, Hu Hu, Gao Gu. The four of them sat in the corners of the square table. On the table is a map of Lee's Goryeo.

"White Crane, long live has a will. In fact, in a word, I don't like Lee's Goryeo, and I don't like it since I know how to read. I asked Banzai why, and Banzai said that when he read history books as a child, no matter who was in charge of this place, he was a capricious villain. Daming has the benefit that they are sticky, and they are in trouble to hide. On the contrary, they themselves are in trouble. I will continue to ask Daming for help. In their eyes, the Ming people don't know if they are stupid! ”

Bai Minghe didn't dare to answer. He didn't even dare to raise his head. The eyes of Hu Hu and Gao Gu can definitely release the light of death.

If they could stare at one person to death, then they would have at least stared at the white crane and seriously injured him.

The two adults were not angry, and when the students first heard Banzai say this, their first reaction was the same. It must be that Bai Minghe used some strange theory to influence Banzai, but after really calming down and thinking about it, according to the history books. Indeed it is. And according to another theory of Bai Minghe, Goryeo is dangerous! ”

Yang Ning was actually helping Bai Minghe speak, and the two old men were a little surprised.

Let Yang Ning continue.

"Two adults, since ancient times, the territory of Goryeo was three times the largest at present. After that, all dynasties and dynasties took the opportunity to expand northward. It was after the founding of the Ming Dynasty that Goryeo was still 300 miles to the north, which is why we have the current national border. The Koreans would seize the opportunity to expand, or whether it was a large or small state, they would expand whenever they had the opportunity. ”

"That's it...... Reasonable! Hu Hu also had to admit that what Yang Ning said was the official history.

Yang Ning continued: "If you think about the time when the Great Sui Dynasty was in the Tang Dynasty, the Goryeo people fought if they could fight, and if they couldn't fight, they would fake ...... surrender, just say that this fake surrender is , hehe! Yang Ning laughed dryly, this is already a shameless villain in his heart.

"When Goryeo was in the Han Dynasty, it was a county of the Han Dynasty!" Takaya whispered to the side.

"Tall, be louder!" Shira-nae Crane deliberately asked loudly. After hearing this, Hu Hu scolded: "The old man is over seventy, and he can still hear what Master Gao said, but your young man said that he couldn't hear it." ”

Bai Minghe laughed dryly: "I didn't say I couldn't hear it, I just said that I asked the tall man to be louder." ”

"I don't want to be loud because it's against my Confucianism. Confucianism will settle the world, but it will not fight the world. Takaya didn't mind that Shirana Crane was deliberately yelling, he knew what Shira meant, so he opened his mouth to explain.

Bai Minghe asked rhetorically: "Li Jing and Pharmacist Li, I don't know if I am a Confucian general?" ”

"In short, Wu Anjun doesn't count as white!" Takaya replied stiffly.

Seeing that there was a possibility of quarreling, Hu Hu hurriedly said: "It's all safer, it's all a big plan." ”

"My opinion is simple, I don't like sticks." Bai Minghe said immediately after Hu Hu finished speaking.

Yang Ning asked curiously: "What is the solution of the stick?" ”

"There's a story in it, and that's about Goryeo. They are ambitious but actually poor, and those in front of the battlefield are armed with weapons, and those in the back row are armed with a stick. The people in front of them died, or found weapons on the corpses of the enemy on the battlefield, and the people behind them had weapons, but they were reluctant to throw away their sticks, because they were more comfortable than the weapons they picked up, for the simple reason that they were used to using sticks. And then what! The weapons picked up are more exchanged for wine, meat and money, anyway, the next time there is a war, the soldiers in the front row, the weapons are still provided by the government. ”

The white crane is complete nonsense.

But the three old fellows believed most of them, because the iron-making process here in Goryeo was not good, and it was very poor.

According to the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty, the ratio of the common people to the soldiers of the Li family in Goryeo reached 450,000 at its peak, and in terms of the population of Goryeo, this is almost a ratio of six to one, and Goryeo cannot afford to provide so many weapons for the army.

"Well, it's called a stick. What are you going to do? Yang Ning asked Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe laughed: "I've already started to do it, and the Shang Gang who came here with Lord Yang is actually a chess move." It's just that how effective this move is depends on the reaction of the sticks. ”

"What's this move?"

"Dumping!" The white crane said a word confidently.

(Modern interpretation: A product is considered to be dumped if, in the ordinary course of trade, a product is exported from one country to another at an export price lower than the comparable price of the same product consumed in the country's home country, i.e., it enters the commercial channel of another country at a value lower than its normal value. ）

What is dumping, Bai Minghe gave a detailed explanation:

"All kinds of daily necessities, workshop products. The quality of the goods manufactured by a qiē is better than that of a stick, and the price is almost the same. It doesn't take a year to completely crack down on the various workshops here, and from another point of view, this kind of thing can be regarded as a kind of war, a war of goods and silver. ”

After listening to Bai Minghe's explanation, Yang Ning asked: "Bai Minghe, if someone treats Da Ming like this, how will you fight back." ”

"Customs closure, tariff increase. Tariffs have been imposed to the point where the prices of foreign goods are balanced with those of domestic goods, and in short, foreign things cannot be allowed to suppress the development of domestic workshops. ”

Shira's explanation pleased the three older adults, and it was a way to protect the interests of their country.

Hu Hui also asked, "What if the Li family Gaoli did this?" ”

"Let's not say whether they understand the theory of dumping, even if they are stuck in tariffs. Then I have three ways to deal with it, which are civil fighting, martial arts, and national fighting. Let's talk about martial arts first, I will cut off all the goods, and buy the goods throughout Goryeo, so that Goryeo will not be able to use the goods, and destroy the original workshop in Goryeo. Then they sent people to spread rumors, make the people unstable, and even change the dynasty. ”

"It's a poisonous ploy, and it works!" Hu Hu made a small comment on Bai Minghe's theory.

Bai Minghe didn't react at all: "If you come down again, I'll talk about Wendou, Wendou is to give up my interests, and then give up the manufacturing rights of many products to Goryeo." In this way, whether it is a nobleman, a businessman, or a common person in Goryeo, he can get a profit, but all the technology, equipment, raw materials, etc. of various workshops are in my hands, slowly devoured, and then prepare for the national fight! ”

"What is a national fight?" Hu Hu already had a hunch, but he was still waiting for Bai Minghe to say it himself.

Bai Minghe was very direct and only said two words.

"War!"

"Can war solve the problem?" Hu Hu does not think that war is a good way.

"This war can be fought, because whether it is the court, the nobles, the merchants, the common people. We can't make any money because of the restrictions on our trade. The hatred of cutting off people's financial routes is deep enough. ”

A smile finally appeared on the face of the white crane, a very smug smile.

Hu Hui, Gao Gu, and Yang Ning whispered a few words.

Hu Hu said: "Bai Minghe, I have to admit that if it is really as you expected, you can get no less than 30 million taels of silver here a year......" Hu Hu stopped and thought about the words. Yang Ning added on the side: "Gross domestic product!" ”

It must be said that the white crane has brought many new words to the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Hui continued: "The old man thinks that 30 million taels is a limit. Once this number was exceeded, it was suddenly restricted by the Lee family's Goryeo officials, so the silver flew away. As you said, the whole Ming Dynasty will have hatred for the Li family's Goryeo, and I am afraid that this war will be supported by the whole people. ”

"I've thought about it, how can I use the three adults to get an idea!" (To be continued......)
