"The Hetao is good, and Yu Gong is wise. You're not bad either! ”

After Xu Chengshou praised Bai Minghe, he went straight to the point: "I came to another thing, which is to borrow silver from you." How to borrow, you have the final say. The Nanjing Sailor is the most bitter of the five major sailors of the Ming Dynasty, the Dongting Sailor also has inland river transportation to earn some silver taels, and the Liaodong Sailor has few ships and no burden. The Guangdong sailors are now not the same, and the Fujian sailors will not have a problem at the moment, but I am the Nanjing sailors, and the ships are not much less than those in Guangdong, and it is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to keep these ships every year. And just to keep it! ”

"Guogong, please take a seat!"

Bai Minghe was a little surprised, you Wei Guogong didn't look for the Sixth Department of Nanjing, didn't look for the officials in the capital, but came to me Bai Minghe.

This pressure is really not small.

"Old man, don't give alms!" Xu Chengshou just sat down, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he blocked the white crane to death.

Looking at Bai Minghe's reaction, Xu Chengzong said: "Nanjing is also secretly going to sea, and Fujian also has it. Why is it said that Fujian is both a businessman and a bandit, and they still have some benefits on the sea route. It's just that the business can't do you like this, Yang Du's people are good, and the old man can't find out the price of your goods. But the old man also calculated. ”

Bai Ming Crane Heart said, of course you can't find it. I'm just pulling the goods in Siam and piling them up in large quantities. There are only about ten people who really come into contact with the value of the goods, so naturally they will not spread it.

"Those rice, I'm afraid you can buy five stones for one or two silver!"

"One load of silk, two thousand stone meters!" Shira-naka Crane gives a half-truth. The truth is 3,300 koku, but 2,000 koku is also true, because you have to remove the costs on the road, the losses in the sea transportation, and, of course, the labor costs for the shiploaders.

Xu Chengzong thought for a while: "White Crane." The old man asks you. You give the old man a bottom, and now the Nanjing Sailor hands it over to you, how do you use it? ”

"Let them repair first, and spend at least three months to restore their combat strength. Then Daming Donghai spent half a year cleaning, completely cleaning. In the simplest sentence, there are only kneeling subjects under the banner of my Ming king. In addition to this, there are only carcasses thrown in the sea to feed the fish. Of course, they have good boats on hand, so I'll lend some first, and I've been running out of capacity lately. ”

"I heard that all the ships of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division are being renovated in Hong Kong. There are no less than 400 transport ships that can be mobilized, with a total capacity of more than 500,000 materials. This, is there not enough capacity? The old man said that the old man doesn't need charity! Xu Chengzong's tone was a little displeased, no matter what he said. He is also the Duke of Wei, a powerful Duke with heavy troops.

He didn't come to Guangdong without permission.

The Ming Emperor had a secret decree asking him to encounter a strong enemy in Bai Minghe, and hoped that he would be able to send troops in case he was defeated.

When he came to Guangdong, he had three things to do. The first is to support the Fujian Dusi, and the second is to come and see the person Bai Minghe. Third, it is to seek some tangible benefits for the Nanjing sailors.

When I heard Bai Minghe say that he had a capacity of 500,000 materials. even said that his capacity was insufficient, and Xu Chengzong had a reason to be angry.

The white-named crane is not angry.

"Guogong, I'll settle the account for you. Just one thing, Guogong thought that 30,000 looms could weave how much fine linen a year. Fine hemp raw material before processing. It will be several times heavier. ”

Xu Chengzong shook his head, if he wanted to say how heavy the ordnance weighed, how long it would take to make it, he didn't understand the weaving.

"Guogong, 100,000 material capacity. Day and night, changing people and boats, I can't afford to supply the hemp for these weavers. The cost of linen cloth for a year is 1 million stone by weight, and the coarse material is more than ten times the weight of the fine linen raw material that can be woven, that is, I need 10 million stone of transportation capacity every year. 100,000 materials, one round trip in seven days, one is only 50 times, that is, the capacity of 5 million stones. This is not over, the coarse material becomes fine material, and after processing, it is transported to various places again, only fine linen is a business, and all kinds of transshipment on the waterway are not less than 20 million stones a year, which is not counting the wharf to the towns and land carriages! ”

Yang Neng added another sentence next to him.

"Guogong, didn't Xiaobai say it just now, he still needs 100,000 barrels of coconut oil, and the raw materials of that thing also need millions of stones, and it is tens of millions of stones in Guangdong."

"Do I still have to transport grain to the north?" Bai Minghe also added.

Xu Chengzong calculated in his heart: "According to what you say, the entire Daming Water Master will give it to you, and it will not be enough!" ”

"Yes, so Guangdong has started shipbuilding. For a large ship of 2,000 materials, a dock needs 2,000 workers to work for 100 days, and if I want 100 ships, I need 200,000 workers to work for 100 days. ”

"It's a pity you don't have that many shipyards!" Xu Chengzong knows this.

Bai Minghe nodded helplessly.

Xu Chengzong said again: "The entire Ming Dynasty, all the shipbuilding ships combined. It would be nice to be able to build you thirty ships of 2,000 materials a year. ”

"However, I need more, not to mention a hundred, I want another thousand!"

The ambition in Bai Minghe's heart is that the fleet of the Ming Dynasty will occupy every route and every island on this earth.

"Guogong, I'll give you two hundred stones of gold first. Three months later, Tianjin Wei, Nanjing, Quanzhou Wei, Guanghaiwei. I want a 100% safe route, and any small state, if a person dares to show his knife here, will send him to the sea to feed the fish. The ship doesn't feel much this year, but what about next year? And the year after? ”

"You don't have to worry about your ship, as long as you have enough silver, Daming can build two million ships a year."

"If you want more, and you will have to build a big ship in the future, you must have a super large dock, and silver is definitely not a problem. The one who is left is the boatman. Bai Minghe was a little excited in his heart.

"The shipwrights left behind by the Three Treasure Eunuchs are not dead. Others can't summon us, we have a problem. No matter where the people are, they belong to that battalion, and they must also send people to the old man in Nanjing. Before Xu Chengzong finished speaking, Bai Minghe hurriedly said: "Be quick, don't let the Governor of Caoyun rob people." ”

"He, joke!" Xu Chengzong laughed. "He doesn't have that vision, and he's not having a good time as a governor!"

Bai Minghe lowered his voice: "Guogong, all the grain will be changed to the canal, Jiangnan and other places, as well as Fujian, Guangdong, and the military food I gave to the north, all by water." In a word, the canal that blocked him. He either worked hard to tidy up the canals, or he switched to small boats, and transported dozens of stones to the capital with a boat. ”

"Poisonous ......" Xu Chengzong gave Bai Minghe a thumbs up.

The details are easy to discuss.

When shipbuilding is settled, the details need a huge team to consider the details.

After saying this, Bai Minghe asked again: "Guogong, there is something to ask for." About those civil officials in the Guangdong officialdom. ”

Xu Chengzong waved his hand: "I can't help you, no one can help you with this matter." How much silver do you have a county order per year, don't talk about others, just say how much you can spend in a month. As far as the current situation is concerned, your year's income is not enough for you to spend a day now, and there are so many people under your command to feed, do you not have to support the family and the domestic servants?

"Then ......," Shira-nain Crane didn't know how to continue.

"This is the fortune set by Taizu, and this is not the case in the officialdom. So the old man can't help you, and he doesn't dare to help you. No matter what you do, the most you can do is to be hit a few times by Banzai, but once you pull us up, your trouble will be more than just hitting the board, so this matter is not to mention! ”

Shirakawaru let out a long sigh.

"Okay, I'll give you a Jianyì. At the moment, Guangdong is quite stable, you can wait, wait for the real matter to get into trouble and then deal with it, and then it will be easy to talk! "I can't help but say that Xu Chengzong is very smart. When the white crane pushes these civil officials to their death, they will not ask for a sky-high price.

After a long time, Bai Minghe's foundation in Guangdong has also been stable, and he has enough negotiating capital.

So let's make a fuss first and then solve it. In Xu Chengzong's words, you can do whatever you want now, no matter what those low-level civil officials mean, they are all a group of fools who only know how to read and sage, and don't know the importance of eating.

The white name crane heart said, okay, then wait and see.

I always have to wait for some reaction from the capital, shipbuilding is not a trivial matter, fortunately, you don't have to worry about it, there are so many old generals who love the sailor from the bottom of their hearts and dedicate themselves to the sailor, and the sailor will definitely become stronger.

"Go back, go back to the Spring Garden. Guangzhou City is not a place for you to stay, don't put on a posture that can influence Guangdong officialdom, it is not good for you. Xu Chengzong persuaded Bai Minghe again.

Bai Minghe nodded: "This matter is my fault, and I shouldn't just meddle in the affairs of Guangdong officialdom." ”

"Fool. Don't openly influence the Guangzhou officialdom, but secretly whoever is disobedient will kill him. Xu Chengzong's words made Bai Minghe's brain directly crash, and there are people who are more ruthless than himself to the civil official group.

Rejuvenation Garden, to enjoy the life of the landlord.

When leaving the city of Guangzhou, Bai Minghe asked Qinghe to write two letters, one to Sangsong and the other to the Siamese prince, arranging for a 300-material fast boat to go along the coastline and send it to Da Nang, and then Sansong would hand over the other letter to the Siamese prince.

Board the ship in Guangzhou Port, go down the river, and return to Chunhui Garden that night.

When he arrived at the door, the white crane let out a long sigh.

"Why is the husband sighing!" Sun Yuanjun asked in a low voice.

The street opposite Bai Minghe's house: "I knew that all eight streets around here were bought, and then it is estimated that I can make a lot of money, and I won't earn a few hundred taels of silver." ”

"Hahaha!" A hearty laugh came from inside the door.

Xie Yiyuan led several elders of the merchant gang out together, and when he saw Bai Minghe, he arched his hand: "Lord Xiaobai, I, Xie Mou, will ask someone to carry a stone of gold to compensate for the regret of the adults missing this land business." ”

"Xie Lao is really funny, he must have been waiting for a long time."

"Definitely. The adults went out of Guangzhou, and Xie also went out of Guangzhou. It's just that the adults use official ships, and there are family members who need to take care of them. I got on the boat right here, and the boat was fast, so I got here first. I'm in a hurry to meet adults, and I really have a lot of things I want to say to adults, and everything is urgent. Xie Yiyuan was direct. (To be continued......)
