Wan Xue'er was obviously nervous, and in her opinion, this was the Chinese Emperor's suspicion of Bai Minghe, a sign of distrust. Shiro-Natsuru didn't answer, let alone explain, because he understood why.

But Huaiyu said the key.

"Brother Emperor is too stingy this time, because he can't leave the capital, so he won't let us travel the world."

Is that really the case?

At this time, in Beijing, the imperial study of the Chinese emperor, Zhu Qiyu, who was walking back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, had a very bad face, and the eunuchs and palace maids dared to make a sound.

Even though the palace maids are not slave now, but serving, they are also very nervous.

"Someone!" Zhu Qiyu raised his head violently, but looked at the eunuchs and palace maids in the study, and waved his hand vigorously: "Go out, all go out." ”

Wei Shaoqing hurriedly signaled, and these people left immediately.

"Long live the lord, let's have a cup of tea. There is a good tea that has just been sent to the palace, and I heard that it is a new process. However, Lord Bai has a heart, and the tea guild has studied six colors of tea, which are green, red, green, white, yellow, red, and black. When it is really different, the season is different, and this different tea also has a unique taste. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled and stretched out his hand to Wei Shaoqing: "You, you have a heart." ”

"Long live waiting is what slaves should do."

"After that, go and send a telegram to Shiro-namo, telling him that he must not go further south with the city of Malacca as the boundary. Little Luzon is restricted and may not go further west. Zhu Qiyu commanded with a smile.

Wei Shaoqing hurriedly took over: "This is what the slave is going to do." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "This royal brother is in Little Luzon, and I heard that he actually likes the joy of fishing in the sea." The white-named crane travels all over the world with beauty, but I can only stay in the capital. I definitely can't let Bai Minghe be happy, I know that he wants to go to that ......" Zhu Qiyu said to his mouth, but he couldn't think of it.

"Hooray, it's Madagascar. I heard that there was thymeli vanilla there. ”

"Nope! It's not this, last time I heard the royal sister talk excitedly for a long time. That's a mouth-watering name! ”

Wei Shaoqing thought about it, what else was further south, and replied after a while: "Raokou's name should be called Mauri Balls." I don't know if the slave is mistaken. ”

"It's the Maldives!" Zhu Qiyu thought about it, and then added: "Why did the white crane bring the Shagara Dragon King." I know that he brought it for the royal sister, and there have been sea ships in the Maldives that have discovered it for decades, and the Three Treasures have also been recorded. There are mountains lying underwater, and there is a sultanate with very few people, and the land is only a few thousand hectares! ”

Wei Shaoqing is an excellent manager.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu reminded him like this, he knew it completely.

It was attacked by an Ottoman merchant who surrendered without a fight because the kingdom had no army. Then he converted to the Ottoman religion, where the only thing worth writing about was that there were thousands of islands, and there were millions of coconut palms, and nothing else.

"Huaiyu, this girl, is becoming more and more lawless, and she even wants to lead troops to fight."

Zhu Qiyu said in his heart that he had never led troops to the battlefield. The imperial brother Zhu Qi went to the town, but there was a change in the civil fort. If Huaiyu succeeds in rescuing or conquering those islands, he will only be envious, so he will never allow it.

"Quickly go and send a telegram to tell the white crane, you can only move online. You can do whatever you want, but you can't go outside the line. There was no reason and he was not allowed to file an appeal. ”

Zhu Qiyu was thinking about when he would be able to really go to sea.

At sea, Huaiyu had already rushed into the telegraph room. She wanted to send a telegram to the Emperor of China, and she was not very demanding, only to limit Ceylon a few hundred miles to the south, and then less than a thousand miles to the west, so that she could dream of being a female general, and it was easy to say.

As soon as he ran to the telegraph room, a new telegram from the Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu arrived.

Huai Yu is angry, so he replied with the code book of the white crane, only five words, the imperial brother is so stingy.

Why so many restrictions were given, Huaiyu knew too well.

But then, I don't know what the two brothers and sisters said, only that there are seven or eight telegrams back and forth, all of which are encrypted. It is estimated that only the parties know. Huai Yule ran back with the telegram and rushed to Bai Minghe: "Brother-in-law, I have negotiated with the imperial brother, and we can go ten miles to the west, after all, in case of a storm or something." ”

Bai Minghe didn't react, but he heard Huaiyu say again: "For these ten miles, the imperial brother said again." Malacca is limited, and little Luzon is limited, so it's good for my brother-in-law to move within this range, and you can do whatever you want. ”

It's weird.

But Huaiyu's mouth is still very strict at a critical time, and Bai Minghe has no intention of asking.

"Ceylon, go straight to Ceylon." Bai Minghe just said that, Ma Liujia is not going to enter for the time being. But in order to be afraid of Sun Yuanjun's disappointment, Bai Minghe still explained two sentences: "Right now, in this place in Nanyang, the Japanese people, the Korean people, the little Luzon people, etc., they are somewhat fighting, I don't want to get involved, and I will come back when this place is stable." ”

"Yes, sister, it's not too late to come back when our soldiers build the port here."

"Good!" Sun Yuanjun really didn't care, and the emperor didn't let him travel far, what Huaiyu said, she wouldn't ask again. If you want to ask, you also want to ask for peace of mind, it seems that Bai Minghe knows the reason, and Huaiyu also knows.

Then it is easy to explain if you can't ask, this is the emperor's private matter.

Five days later, a group of sixteen warships met the fleet of the White Crane from a distance, a detachment of the Ceylon defenders. On the fleet were also Ceylon's two chief officers and six lieutenants, one civil and one military two chief officers, and four civil and two military six lieutenants.

The civil official is a former imperial historian of the Inspectorate, and he is reluctant, but he is a very well-behaved person.

Ceylon is now a place where the rules need to be enforced to the end.

Both to the locals of Ceylon and to the troops stationed here.

The military attache is the former Tianjin Wei Ge general, this person is a general of the Yang family, this time Bai Minghe needs a reliable release general, he who used to be a commander in Tianjin Wei only needs to be qualified by half a level, and the favor plus ability Ceylon will naturally be handed over to him here.

General Ge just clenched his fists and didn't say anything, and if he wanted to say it, it wasn't now.

The other six lieutenants, and the four civil officials, were in charge of taxes, tea plantations, precious stones, and laws. The two military attachés were responsible for the defense of the land and the escort of the sea.

Following the fleet, the White Crane docked at the Colombo Pier.

After more than three years of construction, it is no longer the dilapidated harbor when Bai Minghe first went west. It has the largest port in the Indian Ocean, and of course Tianzhu has always maintained a hostile state, and any large port will also be attacked by the Chinese Navy.

On the island, Bai Minghe took the initiative to speak: "This official is not here to listen to politics, just to take a vacation." ”

Both officers smiled and did not answer. However, the civil official in charge of the law said, "Lord Bai has come from afar, and it is also very hard, so it is better to rest for a few days first, and then see how the scenery of Ceylon is like." ”

"That's a lot of work." The white-named crane bowed.

None of the eight officials continued to talk about it, and Bai Minghe said that it was a vacation.

As Yu Qian said, after reaching a certain status, it is impossible to become a scholar, let alone take a vacation. After you arrive in a place, you will naturally be approached by various government affairs, and even if you don't care about these things, you will report them to you and let you listen to them. Of course, it is best to give Jianyì, and even write on behalf of it, so it is called a satisfactory one.

Shira-nae Crane also understands this, but he still has to choose to avoid it first.

There are Han-style buildings here, and there is also a special annex, which is usually only taken care of by people, and no people have been arranged to live here at all, and the people on Ceylon Island are only responsible for maintenance and maintenance.

This is reserved for those who have enough status to use when they come to Ceylon.

Deng Hailong came once to inspect the defense, but it only accounted for less than one-tenth of this annex.

Bai Minghe came, the population of his Bai Mansion is quite large, and it only accounts for about one-third of it here, and after sitting on the boat for a long time, he naturally wants to rest on land for a few days.

"There's a treasure here!" Bai Minghe said to Huaiyu with a smile.

"Youbao, I know. The three most famous products here are tea, which was not shipped back at all, and all of them were shipped to Europe. I heard that Europeans like black tea, and they also have to add milk and sugar, which is really a barbarian. I don't know what the original fragrance of tea is! ”

Huaiyu's face was disdainful, and I didn't know if it was because the Europeans didn't understand tea, or if the white crane regarded himself as a child again.

You must know that he is also twenty-one years old, and it has been four or five years since he married Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe smiled awkwardly, to his ears, this was Huaiyu despising him.

Huaiyu said: "The second output here is oil, the kind of oil from oil fruits, but it is not much shipped to us, I heard that a large number of them are sold to Nanyang, but I heard that the price of soybean oil in Nanjing has been rising in the past two years." ”

"It's amazing, even the price of soybean oil is rising." Bai Minghe didn't explain to Huaiyu that the price of soybean oil rose because of refining, not because the silver was worthless.

"Thirdly, it's called Gem Island, and it has countless gems, but I heard that the mining area is dangerous, so I'm not interested in digging for gems on my own, which is not fun. But gemstones are still loved, and it is very interesting to choose the best gemstones from the raw ore and design them yourself. ”

Huaiyu deliberately didn't look at Bai Minghe, just to prevent Bai Minghe from feeling that he really liked gemstones.

You have to make a gesture of indifference first, otherwise the white crane may let people put away all the precious gems.

Bai Minghe was interested: "Then, go pick a gem?" ”

"No, at least not now." Huaiyu refused without thinking about it.

This made Bai Minghe feel surprised, and Huaiyu said again: "Wait, when Xie Xinyi arrives, take her to pick it up, how can you say that she is also a sister in the house." (To be continued......)
