[There is also a change, and I will work hard to ask for a monthly pass]

The white crane is a little tired, and there are several troublesome things.

Bai Fu stood next to Bai Minghe's table, standing motionless, his eyes slightly closed, waiting for Bai Minghe to wake up by himself.

"Brother Bai!" Ginger rushed out of his study. "They're cheating us!"

Jin Jie's words did not fall, Lu Qiyuan and Tao Lizheng also came in after him, the three of them originally came together, hearing Jin Jie's shouting, Lu Qiyuan was like a thoughtful look. Old man Tao was full of panic.

"Old Tao, pick a few good ones, I have something for you to palm." The white-named crane asked the old man Tao to pick pearls.

"Yes! My lord! The little old man will go right away. Old man Tao felt that the atmosphere in this room was not right, and he hurriedly retreated before he entered the door with one foot. They don't understand the others, so Old Man Tao naturally went to find someone who really understands pearls.

Lu Qiyuan gently closed the door, from the moment those merchants entered Hepu, he knew that he and Hepu had become one, Hepu was honored, and Hepu died if something happened to him.

Because he is a lifter, because he was rescued by the white crane, because everyone knows that he is the person of the white crane.

"Brother Bai, those cheap merchants only accept cash, and a few big businessmen have said that they don't want to give pearls, just cash. That's not all, I also know that the Guangdong Metropolitan Yamen has something to say to these merchants, and all things have nothing to do with the Dusi Yamen, but they are just a guarantor, asking for silver to go to Hepu, and Hepu will not get silver. The Yamen of the Metropolitan Division is not bad! ”

Jin Jie's face was flushed, he came from the palace. In his mind, it is a trivial matter for you to come to the Yamen to advance some silver for us.

Bai Minghe smiled and asked, "So what, what do you want to tell me?" ”

"They get a share of the money. Now everything is up to you, Brother Bai, it's not fair! "Ginger is really angry.

"Lu Qiyuan, what is the real reason for the sea ban?" Bai Minghe ignored Jin Jie, but asked Lu Qiyuan.

Shira-naka went out for a spin and came back to understand a lot of things.

For example, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty did not really come into contact with buyers from various countries, and their goods were probably transferred to South Asia after many hands. So the price is amazingly expensive, and the quality of the goods is poor, the quantity is small, and the variety is very small.

There are huge benefits to overseas trade. But why did the Ming Dynasty ban the sea.

"If you go back to your lordship, the Daming sea ban was originally due to the collusion between the coastal areas and the fugitive forces at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, for example, Guangdong is 5,000 miles away from the capital, and a round trip is 10,000 miles. The decree of the imperial court came here, and it would take twenty days at the earliest, in order to ensure the passage of the Ming decree, there was only a sea ban! ”

Lu Qiyuan is a real person, his words are very real, and they are also real historical facts.

In Bai Minghe's ears, Lao Zhu was afraid that any force would affect his rule over the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the sea ban is for fear that these coastal areas will have too much contact with the outside world.

"Secondly, there is the madness of the Japanese invaders. What is even more terrifying is that some mercenary people cooperate with the Japanese and hurt the people. Hurt the state and county! ”

Hurting the state and county, is this a scourge even for the official?

It seems that it is necessary to ask for details again, and Jinyiwei may have information about the Japanese Kou that Bai Minghe needs.

"And. It is to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. ”

Mentioning this word, Bai Minghe thought of an introduction to Comrade Lao Zhu in later TV dramas. His ideals were eccentric: he wanted to restore a kind of "chicken-dog sound." The old and the dead do not get along". If it were possible, he even wanted to abolish currency and commodity trading. In this context. It is not surprising that Ming Taizu imposed a ban on the sea, and even domestic trade wanted to be banned, let alone foreign trade? Defending against the Japanese is just a good excuse for imposing a sea ban.

It seems that the real reason is still in the isolation of the country.

"The last point is also guessed by the villain, judging from the process of the Three Treasure Eunuchs going to the West, the imperial court does not want the people to have too much contact with overseas, let alone anyone with deep ties overseas. Foreign aid to resist the order! ”

Lu Qiyuan said in a word, to the core, foreign aid to resist the order, to put it bluntly.

With the help of overseas forces, come back and rebel.

"I arranged for you to do two things on behalf of the official. Go to the capital once, meet a few people, and send a few things. ”

"Dare to ask your lordship, what is it?" Lu Qiyuan asked.

"A few heads, a few broken boats. And, of course, this. The white crane pointed to the screen in hand. The human head is a Japanese people, that is, more than a thousand. This screen is too precious, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well if I stay here! ”

Lu Qiyuan knelt on the ground: "Adult, please listen to the villain." It's not that the villain doesn't want to work for the adult, but it's better for the adult to go there in person. ”

"Why?"

"My lord, more than a thousand Japanese have been killed. This is a great feat, but there is no rumor in the whole of Guangdong. Isn't that outlandish? There is also a villain who has left a name in the Dusi Yamen, once he leaves Guangdong, it doesn't matter if the villain lives or dies, Hepu will be in danger. The last point is that the debt of 700,000 taels of silver, but the cash is required to settle the account, and the villain is very low-minded, and he really does not know the reason. I just feel that this qiē is related to the Yamen of the Guangdong Dusi! ”

Bai Minghe nodded after hearing this, Lu Qiyuan's reason was enough.

"Okay, then I'll do it for you in another way. Sue the merchants, the official has returned. Ask each of them to write an introduction of their own firm, and then the official will meet them in batches according to the reputation and size of the firm. Then it is to requisition the people and repair the warehouse. ”

"Yes, the villain is retired!"

Lu Qiyuan dared to do this, and he was confident that he would do it very well.

Lu Qiyuan retreated, and Jin Jie shouted again: "Brother Bai, you also heard it, the Guangdong Metropolitan Division Yamen is tidying up for us." Yesterday it was more than 500,000 taels, and today it is 700,000 taels. 200,000 taels of silver, if you exchange it for gold, you can kill a lot of people. Jin Jieqing was extremely excited.

Bai Minghe smiled and waved his hand: "You don't understand, this is sincerity." ”

"What?" Ginger suspected he had misheard.

"I heard sù you alone, don't spread it." Bai Minghe motioned for Jin Jie to come close to him, and then said: "I, Bai Minghe, am a seven-rank official, why should the Dusi Yamen believe me, why should I work against the Buzheng Secretary and the Yamen of the Judicial Division." Is it just a little silver? ”

Jin Jie didn't understand, and looked at Bai Minghe blankly.

"Xiaojie, this is sincerity. Because of sincerity, the Dusi Yamen wants to test my white name crane's ability, these things seem to be troublesome, but compared to a few major events in the future, it is not even chicken feathers in front of me. ”

"Big deal, Brother Bai, I don't understand!" Ginger really didn't understand.

"It's just a matter of money. But in the future, we will face several major problems. First, Guangdong Sansi must have something to do with us. There will also be many people in the court who either suppress us or want to forcibly share a piece of profit. Second, externally, we are outside, and if we have friends, we will definitely have enemies. Thirdly, the Japanese and we are definitely undying. ”

Bai Fu, who had been squinting, opened his eyes at this time.

"Young Master is wise!"

Bai Minghe added: "If you can't show your strength, the support of the Dusi Yamen will definitely be limited." Without the support of the Dusi Yamen, we can't solve any of the three troubles in the back. ”

Ginger still doesn't understand.

Bai Minghe didn't plan to explain anymore, and wrote a letter in front of Jin Jie: "You are a prisoner, go to Commander Mao, and say that you are going to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners." As soon as the two broken ships are repaired, they can pull them up, and if they can't pull them, they have to remove the flags, and then pull the masts up. Five other boats were repaired and filled with rice and ready to go. ”

"I understand this, I'll do it immediately!" Jin Jie answered and was leaving.

After walking a few steps, he turned back again: "Brother Bai, the eunuch of Nanzhili Town is Uncle Cheng's apprentice, how about asking him to give us some rice and exchange it for silver?" ”

"Xiaojie, don't blame my brother for being too talkative this time, now, you will do whatever I ask you to do. What you can't say must not be told to outsiders. These are extraordinary times, and there is no room for error. Brother Xin, this matter will definitely have a good result, now you go and do the things at hand first. ”

"I naturally believe in Brother Bai, and I believe it when I die!" Ginger patted his chest.

Bai Minghe smiled: "Okay, it's done, I'll give you an extra gold brick!" ”

Jin Jie left, but Bai Fu asked, "Young master, why don't you borrow the hand of Nan Zhili to guard the eunuch." He can help us sell at least two million stone of grain. ”

"Uncle Fu, I know that you must have been on the battlefield before. The battlefield is bloody killing. But you don't know, the mall is no worse than the battlefield, this is bloodless killing. Why should I beg the eunuch to be guarded and leave him favored? Wait for him to come and beg me, beg me to give him some rice, and he will owe me a favor. ”

"Is it possible?" Bai Fu didn't believe it much.

"Trust me, Uncle Fu. In the past few days, please ask Uncle Fu to help me decorate this study, and pick out those extremely precious decorations from our goods this time. Just be nouveau riche, and then I'll see you again! ”

After speaking, Bai Minghe took out a map and put it on the table.

"Now is the most important thing, this is the map of Da Nang. The naval army is already on guard, and Chen Adaa is already doing it. But on land, I am going to put 3,000 combat forces there, and Uncle Fu should go over and see this defense problem in person. Just use the Dusi Yamen to give us these veterans! ”

Bai Fu looked at the map for a while and shook his head: "Difficult! Three thousand people are too few to protect the young master's territory! ”

"What about five thousand?" Bai Minghe asked again.

Bai Fu still shook his head: "At least eight thousand people, this one is not easy to defend." The open area in all directions, crisscrossing the waterways, and the surrounding terrain is higher than the young master's land. ”

"There is not enough manpower, so let's do it reluctantly!" Bai Minghe replied helplessly. (To be continued......)
