Xing'an didn't let Yu Qian ask any more, even the things that Bai Minghe said were good, they would definitely not be bad.

Xing'an has learned that Bai Minghe has a very high vision. So Xing'an continued to ask: "Dai Banzai second question, the white crane plans to build a ship, but there is no quantitative plan. The conclusion given by the shipyards in Nanjing, Fuzhou and Chaozhou is that there are countless ships to be built. Banzai asks, how many borderlands are there in the South Seas? ”

"It's not much!" Shirana Crane replied after thinking about it.

Hearing this, Hu Hu also exhaled lightly, Hu Hu is concerned about the development of Confucianism, if there are too many borderless places, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be dominated by soldiers.

But Bai Minghe added: "I calculated in detail, there is no master at all, and there are really not many that can be attacked without sergeants." Counting the land area, it is barely two or three larger than the land of Daming. If you use soldiers, Nanyang alone has twice the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and this use of troops is not a war, but some places are not civilized, and there are more barbarians. ”

"You, you repeat, the borderless land is bigger than the land of the Ming Dynasty?" Hu Hui's face turned red.

Not excited, but anxious.

"Well, it's bigger than Da Ming. As far as I know, the forest area is about 2 billion mu, the arable plain land is also 2 billion mu, and the natural grassland is about 1.5 billion mu. There is not as much gold, silver, and copper as Luzon, but there are more than 200 billion stones of coal. Its population is less than 400,000 indigenous barbarians! ”

"Are you serious?" Yu Qian's heart was moved, and as the secretary of the military department, he also hoped to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty.

"The reason I occupied Luzon was that although it was far away, it could still be reached in a month or forty days with Luzon as a stopover. Of course, I also need an island. It is equivalent to the size of four and a half Guangdong, an entire land mass, with countless resources, and less than 50,000 indigenous people. ”

Xing'an stood up, and as soon as he raised his hand, he was about to sweep the tea set on the table to the ground.

Bai Minghe immediately pounced: "Xingdu, this is the top grade of Jun Kiln......" Xing'an didn't care about Bai Minghe's reaction. Still swept those tea sets to the ground, Bai Minghe was distressed: "My collection!" ”

"Draw it!" Xing'an placed a kettle in front of the white crane.

Bai Minghe pointed to the debris on the ground: "Jun kiln ......"

"Draw it and reward you with a set of royal masterpieces!" Xing'an pushed the kettle into Bai Minghe's hand.

Bai Minghe glanced at the porcelain fragments on the ground again, shook his head helplessly, and muttered: "If you get Siam, how can it be a thousand stone polished rice." ”

In the eyes of the white crane, this is rice. But in the eyes of these people, no one takes it seriously. This set of tea sets is in the porcelain class of Guangdong, according to the standards set by Bai Minghe for other goods. It's not even a first-class product, because it's just pure white, and it's made lighter, and the people of the Ming Dynasty like to have enough levels of patterns.

The white crane poured water and drew the map of his memory on the table.

The map grew bigger and bigger, all the way to Europe, but not to the Americas.

"This is the island I want, and this is what is known as the Southern Prairie. If the size is calculated in acres. It is 12 billion mu, which is the ultimate goal of the Ming Dynasty in the next 20 years. But there will be a place here that may make Banzai uneasy. It's too far away from Daming, so far away that I'm afraid that someone will rebel! ”

I'm afraid of rebellion or not is a later story, after the war against Yuan, the Ming Dynasty has not yet had a war of external expansion.

"Lord Baiming Crane, the Ming country is rich and the people are strong, and those barbarian lands are poor and barren. Is it really worth it? ”

"Master Hu, I know what you mean. The ancestral training of the Ming Dynasty is actually a policy of closing the country to the outside world, staying in one-third of an acre of land at home and living a stable life. There's nothing wrong with it right now, but it's okay later. Please listen to what the next official has to say. ”

The love of the white-named crane is restored. No excitement, no nervousness. The tone was relaxed.

"Let's talk about Little Luzon first, Little Luzon is a desolate place. But with Little Luzon, my Ming white linen can definitely reduce the price by half. Even after the process has been improved, it can be lower. Isn't this a benefit, a blessing to the people? ”

"Reasonable!" Hu Hu can't say that Bai Minghe is at fault.

"This is said to be on the inside, and then on the outside. Because they only have one island, they have to go out if they want to develop. Wajima is weak now, will it continue to be weak? When they become stronger, maybe it is the threat of my Ming, a small tree will be trampled off with one foot, and what about the towering tree? ”

"Reasonable!" Hu Hu nodded again.

"Besides, after the Ottoman Empire has cleaned up the Byzantine Empire, can it be satisfied? They will expand further, and soon they will have control of the Mediterranean. And what about the small countries on the Europa continent that do not have sea power, although they are not strong, they will also go out in order to survive. ”

"Be reasonable, seek change and survive!" Hu Hu not only agreed this time, but also had a comment.

The white crane continued: "Then next, they came to the South Seas, those barbarian lands. With the materials of the Ming Dynasty, after the gold and wealth, Nanyang became their land, isn't it a threat to the Ming Dynasty? Not now, in 100 years, 500 years. Do we only care about our own generation and don't care about the inheritance of our Han culture? ”

Hu Hu nodded slightly, and his face was a little strict.

"Master Hu, my Han culture has been passed down all over the world. To put it irreverently, in addition to Confucianism, even this tea ceremony for drinking tea I also want to spread it to the world, what is the Heavenly Empire. The Celestial Empire is where there are people, we are proud to learn the culture of our Celestial Empire, and where there are people, we must kneel at the feet of our Chinese civilization! ”

There was murder in the tone of the white crane.

Not to mention people like Xing'an and Yang Neng, even pure Confucian students like Xu Yi can feel it.

"If you don't win, you will lose first!" Yu Qian gave Bai Minghe a cold slap in the face.

"It's hard for me to say alone, there are tens of thousands of talented people in the Ming Dynasty, I'm not afraid of the jokes of all the adults, I have made a plan fifty years later, step by step, step by step."

"Then ......" Chen Wen opened his mouth, wanting to ask Bai Minghe about his so-called future plans.

Xing'an made a difference: "This is also a good answer of Bai Minghe, but it is not an execution, a qiē is approved by long live, and hundreds of officials discuss politics." It's not that we can criticize it, so the miscellaneous family will ask Bai Minghe the third question. ”

"Xingdu, excuse me!"

Xing'an brought the topic to the major affairs of the court, and Chen Yi would not be curious anymore.

"The third question, I heard that Lord Bai and an unmarried woman shared a room all night. What is the explanation of Lord Bai in this matter? ”

"Father-in-law Xing, such a trivial matter is asked here, I Deng Hailong thinks it's inappropriate!" Deng Hailongxin said that this little fart is also worth asking here.

The officials also said in their hearts, not to mention that they are unmarried, even if the white crane drilled the widow's door, it is only a matter of the white crane. Even if it's wrong, it's ridiculous that this is a place to talk about big things.

Xing'an was very strict: "Everyone, this matter is indeed an important matter, please let the miscellaneous family finish asking." ”

Xing'an can say this, which can only represent one problem, that is, the woman's identity is unusual.

Bai Minghe swallowed a mouthful of saliva and began to think hard about whether he had ever done such a thing, it was definitely not without reason that Xing'an could ask questions here.

"White Crane, when you went out to sea to Siam. On the sea, there is a day when the original Daomen Huaiyu girl is in your room. How do you explain that? ”

"We're just playing chess, and it's not overnight. And it wasn't with me overnight. "The white crane broke out.

"I don't know if I play chess, but it's been three days. Miss Huaiyu has never left the house, although you left the house after the third watch, but this matter is detrimental to the reputation of the last married woman. When Xing'an said this, he slapped the table violently: "Bai Minghe, you give an explanation to the miscellaneous family, otherwise you won't be able to get by today, and you won't be able to get by there." ”

Bai Minghe's face twitched, and he said in his heart what kind of this is.

Hu Hui's heart moved, looked at Xing'an and asked, "Is it ......?" ”

Hu Hu, an old minister of the four dynasties, knows a lot of secrets. It's just that some secrets may be buried forever, and some may be in the bottom of my heart forever, but since Xing'an is angry at this time, there must be a reason.

Xing'an pulled the collar of the white crane, and also deliberately exposed the jade hanging around the neck of the white crane.

"White Crane, give an explanation to the miscellaneous family!"

Hu Hu saw it and saw it clearly, Xing'an's move was equivalent to giving him an explanation. Hu Hui is very good at standing in line in this kind of matter, and immediately stood up: "Bai Minghe, the old man also thinks that you are wrong, and you have broken the name of an innocent daughter, you must make an explanation." ”

"This ......" the white crane was choked and couldn't even speak.

raised his hand and slapped himself, Bai Minghexin said, I patronized the game of Go that day, and I thought so much there. It's all, it's really nothing in modern times.

But in Daming, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

"Pen and ink waiting!" Hu Hu instructed the two maids.

Xing'an was stunned for a moment, and saw Hu Hu nodding at himself, with an attitude that reassured Xing'an.

The paper was placed on the table, the pen was stuffed into Bai Minghe's hand, and Hu Hu said: "Write, write a letter to your parents." Let's just say that you are a bad person, and the old man is the matchmaker. ”

"This ......"

"White Crane, if you don't write, it's okay. Immediately return to the capital with the miscellaneous family and enter the palace to face the king. The miscellaneous family will not embarrass you, and will also transfer you to the cabinet as a six-grade scrivener, who is responsible for copying the correspondence files. This is definitely a good official position where you can be promoted and relaxed, as for Guangdong, you don't have to worry about it. ”

The threat of the red fruit.

"Xingdu, Uncle Xing. Hu Gong, Hu Grandpa. Can you give a real reason no? Bai Minghe also reacted, this was definitely not because Huaiyu played chess in his house for half a night, there must be other reasons. (To be continued......)
