After a banquet to demonstrate the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the next day was the official canonization ceremony.

Bai Minghe doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that Qinghe doesn't understand, list the requirements, and give the order of various etiquette. The entire Siam palace was busy all night, that is, the Siam king, who was weak and had been ill for a long time, did not sleep all night, and every link would be personally inquired.

Bai Minghe was puzzled: "I said Qinghe, this is what it means, there is no need to be so serious!" ”

"If the officials of the Ministry of Rites hear it, they will definitely scold your husband to death. Today, if the Ministry of Rites sends officials over, just preparation can keep them busy for half a month, and then they have to learn the etiquette of each school. Canonization is not a trivial matter, in our words, it is ordered by heaven. "Qinghe is very strict and serious.

However, Huaiyu followed the meaning of Bai Minghe and said: "They just want to have a backer, and my brother-in-law wants money and money, armaments and ordnance, and prestige." That piece of paper, they may not really take it to heart. ”

"Or Huaiyu knows me!" Bai Minghe responded with a smile.

Huaiyu responded with a sweet smile.

Qinghe also smiled: "There is nothing wrong with the truth, otherwise this canonization will always find an auspicious day, and they will know it tomorrow." But we have to give an explanation to the Ming court, and they also need to give an explanation to the nobles of Siam and the people. ”

"Well, after this one is done today, it will be used for trade negotiations in the afternoon and tomorrow. Leaving early the morning after tomorrow, our real purpose this time is not Siam. As long as there are enough goods prepared on the Siam side, the task will be completed, let the people of the head of the house work hard, and this time at least more than 100 valuable samples! ”

What Shirana Crane says is valuable.

That means that all the samples should be taken back, at least not less than 500 kinds, otherwise you won't be able to find 100 kinds of value.

The value of the white crane. At the most noble level, it is something precious. Of course, it can also be said to be vulgar, that is, it is worth taking it back.

"Brother-in-law, is that Delhi country weak?" Huaiyu suddenly came to this again.

Shira-Natsuru didn't answer immediately, and in fact he didn't know very clearly. I just remember that Tianzhu was subdued by many people in this era, as if there were Arabs. There are also descendants of the Turks, and some are descendants of self-proclaimed Golden Tents, and of course the forces of Central Asia.

That's why the white crane asks, is it Allah or Buddha?

It is not wrong that Tianzhu is a mess, but the people who conquer them are not weak.

Seeing Huaiyu's expectant expression, Bai Minghe had no choice but to reply: "Strong or not, the knife in your hand is reasonable." It will be a few years or even more than ten years before the war really starts, and the Ming soldiers will be excellent by then. It doesn't matter if they're strong or not. No matter how strong or weak, there must be a fight! ”

"I don't understand!" Huaiyu is not talking nonsense, she really doesn't understand.

But Qinghe understood it: "What the husband means is that in a few years or even more than ten years, the husband's fleet will go to farther places, and no matter whether the other party is weak or strong, for the sake of huge interests." There will inevitably be a war. ”

"That's right, the generals of the Ming Dynasty will not watch it either. Their money was loaded onto ships and taken away! ”

The white crane did not systematically study history, and this Delhi state should be called the Delhi Sultanate at this time in history. Originally, it was only a province of the powerful Gur Dynasty, but it was only a big problem for the Gur Dynasty to appear inside, and the governor here became independent and proclaimed himself king.

In less than seventy years or so, the Delhi Sultanate will be destroyed.

into a tent of gold, destroyed by the sons of Genghis Khan. After that, a new kingdom was founded, the Mughal Empire.

At this time, the Delhi Sultanate was in fact a kingdom composed of Islamic military feudal aristocrats from Central Asia, with the Turkic and Afghan "forty families" as the core. They adopted a policy of hostility, discrimination, and persecution against the Hindu feudal lords and the broad masses of residents of all strata. Forced poll tax and forced conversion to Islam.

There are still some Hindu nobles in the southern Tianzhu who are struggling to support them, but they do not have enough combat power to defend against the Delhi Sultanate, which is constantly moving south.

This time, they were going to ask Siam to surrender, hoping that Siam could send troops from the south and join forces to attack Nantianzhu.

When the sun rose, more than 100,000 people watched the Siam Palace, and completed the canonization ceremony with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. After Bai Minghe handed over the canonization gold scroll to the King of Siam and personally put on the special golden crown of the Daming Inner Palace for the King of Siam, the surrounding people let out a shocking cheer.

The next ritual will continue, and there will be a ritual of sacrifice to the gods in Siam.

Before the white crane walked away from the altar, he stood on this high altar and looked at the city of Ayutthaya from afar. There are countless minarets here, and there are no less than a thousand Buddhist temples in the city alone, and I remember that it was written in a certain book that I read in later generations, and it seems that there was a custom in this era that the king would be ordained. All men in the country have to become monks at least once, and it is definitely one of the countries where Buddhism flourishes.

As he walked down from the altar, three thoughts flashed through Shira's mind.

The first thought on my mind was to earn money, how to earn more money in more Siam. Of course, reputation is still important, and people cannot be called exploiters, let alone predators. At least on face is a win-win, respecting Buddhism is a good choice, is it possible to have a Buddhist exchange?

The second thought is that if the actual ruler of Tianzhu at the moment believes in Allah.

Then their people believe in Buddhism, what is the difference between such a kingdom and a castle in the sky, it seems that they can borrow the hands of the Siamese people to create some benefits for themselves.

And the third thought is a little less open-minded.

What Bai Minghe was thinking about was to get a few real treasures and go back to the women in the palace who had no real power but had great influence. For example, Empress Dowager Sun!

In the afternoon, many Siamese merchants began to line up outside the Ming garrison with their samples.

"Xiaobai, inquired. The merchants who can come here are all Siamese nobles without exception. Our people also heard the news that distribution was being made in the Siamese royal palace, and it seemed that our grain trade had fallen into the hands of three great nobles, one of whom had half of the royal family. The rest of the grain could only be sold to the three big nobles. "Chen Adaa specially came to find Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe nodded, such news was not unexpected.

The deal with the Ming must have been governmental, and of course, it could be put another way, it should have been monopolized by the Siamese ruling class.

Chen Adaa thought that Bai Minghe didn't understand what he meant, and added: "Xiaobai, do you hear what I'm saying?" ”

"I hear you. The grain was in the hands of the three great nobles. It is estimated that other things such as spices that we want will also be distributed. The Siamese royal family was a good one, and by the hand of my white crane, he quickly strengthened his control over the nobles. It seems that this partner is well chosen, and if they are too easily replaced, we will be in trouble. ”

Hearing Bai Minghe say this, Chen Ah was in a hurry.

"Xiaobai, they are controlled by the three nobles, which means that they will increase the price in the future, and they will also bite a price point to death!"

looked Chen Adaa up and down. Shirana Crane smiled.

The heart said that such a real person as Chen Ada, he can say this, and it seems that his influence is really not small, but it is necessary for him to explain two sentences to Chen Ada.

"Lao Chen, is our family monopolizing the goods here in Daming?"

"Yes!" Chen Adaa nodded very seriously: "It is precisely because of this that we can unify the price." If anyone came running, a load of silk would cost more than 1,000 stones. Then there is no way to do this business, and I won't be able to sleep if I don't cut them down. ”

Bai Minghe smiled even more happily: "Old Chen." There is nothing wrong with what you say. The Ming side must be unified, compared to this, if you don't let Siam treat us unified, then they will be wary. What you said there is a price to be had, there will definitely be, but not now. Right now, they won't give us a price increase in a year or two. ”

"I believe it in a year or two."

"Trust me, play this trick. I know in my heart that we are just applying for samples this time, and the real procurement will not be until the end of the year. Now. We don't have much to exchange for either. You just have to trust me, everything is in my hands! "The white crane is full of confidence.

Chen Adaa nodded, Bai Minghe is still reliable.

That's where Shira's confidence comes from.

It's not because he came from hundreds of years later, Shirakawaru has never underestimated the businessmen and politicians of this era, or because he has more information and knowledge. Instead, he has two magic weapons in his hands that must win.

The first magic weapon is that the white crane controls the entire Ming Dynasty's cargo channels in the official power. This is equivalent to controlling the upstream of the trade route, not only having the right to set prices, but also holding the right to choose.

The other magic weapon is really powerful. That is the Daming Water Master, and with the Water Master in hand, Bai Minghe doesn't believe that his trade will fail. When needed, a trade route can be created with the sound of ten thousand cannons. This is the trade of power, under absolute power, it can be broken into a qiē.

Of course, if you want to talk about small magic weapons, there are still a bunch of white cranes.

For example, the silk of the Ming Dynasty is unparalleled in the world, and the technology of the Ming Dynasty is brilliant for hundreds of years. Like what......

Bai Minghe did not explain these words to Chen Ada, and there was no need to explain, and it was not good to spread them.

Chen Ah Da finally believed in Bai Minghe, and went out to continue to stay in Xingshou Courtyard, even if he didn't understand, as long as he saw something new and valued by these people, he was also happy in his heart.

But this time, Chen Adagang went out for a while and came back.

"Xiaobai, that green-eyed and golden-haired man wants to see you, but he doesn't understand our Chinese. But if I know a little Siamese, I will say, I have to see you. ”

"Bring him here, watch out!" The white name crane said that the people of Byzantium came here, do they have any business to do?

Soon, people were brought in. As soon as he entered the room, he said a lot to Bai Minghe, who knew that this was ancient Greek, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it, and occasionally a word might be able to guess, but a continuous word Bai Minghe understood. (To be continued......)
