vs 596 War in northern Burma
In the dead of night, the Tang-style courtyard hundreds of meters away was originally remote, but some fierce sounds spread far away.
Qinghe, who had already fallen asleep and woke up to drink water because of the heat, heard the voice.
Draped in a light dress, Qinghe walked outside the house.
"It's crazy, isn't it?" Hua Mei didn't wake up either, it was also hot.
It's probably going to rain hard, and it's very stuffy. Not to mention that this is near the equator, and it must have been very hot in the days when there was no air conditioning.
Qinghe shook his head: "It's good that Huaiyu sleeps peacefully, otherwise ......"
Otherwise, Huaiyu now hates widows more and more, what is the difference between cheap, debauched, and women who exchange their bodies for benefits, and those in the Qinglou.
Of course, there are now hundreds of thousands of widows in China with clear prices, which has long made Huaiyu look disgusting.
Early in the morning, Shira-namo returned to his courtyard for breakfast.
Hua Mei's stomach was already a little pregnant, and she was helped by someone to come to have breakfast with Bai Minghe.
"I'm talking about the great and honorable young master. Is Eimei Uesugi very energetic? "Hua Mei is not afraid of the white crane, at most she will be slapped a few times by the white crane. And there are no outsiders in such jokes.
Shira-nae Crane smiled sinisterly, squinting his eyes and laughing.
Hua Mei was immediately excited, and approached Bai Minghe: "Young master, is there a good thing?" ”
"Of course, I was so happy last night. You know, that admirer of yours is definitely a ruthless person, and she and Niwa Shu actually made a plan. To deal with one person. Speaking of this, Bai Minghe approached Hua Mei's ear, and spit out three words in a very small voice: "Emperor Wah!" ”
"Ahh Hua Mei covered her mouth in shock, she knew that this must not be spread.
"Really!" Hua Mei asked.
Bai Minghe nodded vigorously: "This can't be fake." ”
"Otherwise, I'll send someone to give them some medicine and let them perform again tonight. The young master is happy again. Hua Mei also smiled evilly, Bai Minghe took Hua Mei's hand and slapped it a few times in the palm of his hand: "Who taught you so badly." ”
"Naturally, it's you, young master." Hua Mei is also very happy.
The Emperor is nothing, and it is too easy to kill. But when it comes to this kind of identity, you need to care too much about it if you want to kill. But if the Japanese themselves trampled their emperor off the altar and then killed him.
The white name crane can openly say: I am sad. It's also a pity that then a few thousand words of nonsense.
When Bai Minghe picked up the bowl, Hua Mei put two fingers in her mouth, and the sharp whistle came out rhythmically, and when the whistle fell, other people's whistles came back.
"What are you doing?" Bai Minghe asked with a dark face.
"Sue the white fox and go to spy on the Japanese people. Of course, I ......" Hua Mei retched a few times: "I am happy and want to eat fruit." And to make up for it. I'm going to eat avocado ......, and ...... Snakeskin fruit. And ......" Hua Mei reported dozens of fruits in one breath, and even Bai Minghe was surprised when he heard it. Because there was something he didn't know.
The maid next to her recorded and explained the best origins, half of which are produced in South Sumatra. As he was talking, Huaiyu came over half-asleep, and as soon as he heard about the fruit, he was also interested.
"Not really. So what is it? "Bai Minghe has never heard of it, and Huaiyu doesn't know about it.
But Huamei has been in Malacca for a while. You must know that the South Seas in later generations, especially south of Malacca, can definitely be regarded as a paradise of fruits, variety, quality, and taste. How much and how much to have.
Shirana Crane didn't refuse, which was tantamount to giving Niwa Shu a chance to contact the outside world.
Just as Huamei planned.
This time the work of purchasing fruits, Niwa Shu followed, the reason is very simple, Oda Ieko control zhì area. There are all such fruits, and they will definitely be sent the freshest.
As for replacing the Uesugi family there.
This is no longer a problem that Bai Minghe needs to worry about, China still has the Wenhua Palace, the Ministry of War, and so many smart people, let them plan.
Shirana Tsuru wrote a notebook about an idea for the exchange of land on Wajima.
The general direction is to send it to North America and the top of the British list, and the rest of the places are still forgotten, South America must not let the Japanese people take root, and the South Seas must also limit the survival of the Japanese people, according to the idea of the white crane, since they can't kill it, let them scourge the Europeans, especially the legendary sun never sets.
Niwa Shu is very intelligent, and she is recognized as the daughter of wisdom in Wajima.
But......
It's just that Wajima is recognized as smart, Wan Xue'er didn't take her in her eyes at all, not more than wisdom, only resources, and identity, the Oda family is still a dog, can dog wisdom be compared with people? Bai Minghe didn't believe it, and Wan Xue'er didn't believe it either.
Bai Minghe didn't pay attention to these little things anymore, but it was the tea party that made Bai Minghe very interested.
For Ceylon Highland black tea, Bai Minghe has not studied, although later generations also drank tea, but in the end it is still an ordinary small businessman, and the good tea he drinks is only a few hundred yuan a catty, and those thousands of yuan of good tea, just looking at the price makes his heart tremble, there is research, just the level of tea lovers.
So at the tea party, the white crane came with a pure appreciation perspective.
The tea merchants were excited, and it was indeed worth getting excited for Shiramei Crane to hold a tea party for them.
The tea party is very grand, there are hundreds of kinds of tea leaves selected and sent, and the way of making zuò is also different, but more of them are made as black tea according to the original construction of the white name crane.
"The tea is good." Wan Xue'er inside the curtain commented.
In terms of this kind of elegant enjoyment, Wan Xue'er can get rid of Bai Minghe's eight streets, Bai Minghe is in a high position, but he is still grassroots in his previous life. When he arrives at Daming, he will eat, but he may not enjoy this elegance. Tea has become more than just a drink in the history of China, but a Tao.
"It's more fragrant than Qimen red, if you study it well, it can't compare with Qimen red and can be compared with Yunnan red and Fujian red." Qinghe put down the teacup, turned to Angela and said, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”
"It's still a good name." Angela slowly put down the teacup, then asked for the sugar and milk that someone brought her, and sighed softly: "Good is good, but according to my thoughts, it should be divided into Chinese tea and Byzantine tea." ”
Angela is described by the name of the place, though. But Qinghe understands that this is to be divided into direct drinking tea and added tea.
Europeans still like to drink spices.
Angela put down the teacup: "Actually, I prefer my husband's South American cocoa milk and coffee. These two, plus milk and sugar, are more suitable for my taste. I think that if these two plants are cultivated vigorously in South America, there will be a huge profit, and there will definitely be a market in Europe that is no less than tea. ”
"I like cocoa, grow it in large quantities." Huaiyu immediately expressed his support.
At that moment, the distinction between direct drinking and adding ingredients was immediately passed on to the tea merchants. The tea merchants are thoughtful, this is very reasonable, any kind of tea can not satisfy everyone's taste, it is better to separate. There are two types of tea, which are sold to Europe and those that are shipped back to China.
At nightfall, Huaiyu took the initiative to find the white crane.
"Brother-in-law, those cocoa and coffee in South America, arrange for people to grow a lot of them."
"Why?" It is impossible for Bai Minghe to not know the economic value of these two things, and the three major drinks in later generations are tea, coffee, and cocoa. But there has been no action, and there has been no mention of these things, that is, the market is not mature, and now it is going to give way, but there is no such consumption power in Europe, cost and so on.
Bai Minghe asked Huaiyu rhetorically, just to hear Huaiyu's thoughts.
"What's wrong, someone will definitely buy it if you plant some, at least Angela likes it."
This is a reason, the Byzantine empress likes, will definitely become the new favorite of the European upper nobility. Of course, Shira-naka Crane will not explain that these two are excellent drinks in themselves.
"Okay, just listen to Huaiyu, you can plant what you say. And it can be written that this is the favorite drink of the Byzantine empress, and when the time comes, you can make a lot of money in Europe, and there will be some people in China who like it. However, if you drink too much coffee, you will not be able to sleep at night, and you are not allowed to drink it at night. ”
"Nope!" Huaiyu didn't understand: "I had a cup before going to bed, and I slept well." ”
I can eat and sleep, live without worrying, and like beautiful things. Bai Minghe said in his heart, Huaiyu, you are the happiest one here, and the only one, you are really a blessed person. That's what life is like as a princess.
Wan Xueer also drinks coffee sometimes, because this thing can refresh and feel more than strong tea.
When the coffee arrives in Wan Xue'er's hands, it can become elegant, silver kettle, silver cup, and silver spoon. ’
Sitting behind Bai Minghe's desk, Wan Xue'er was taking her subordinates to flip through some recent documents, and there were two biggest things at the moment, one was the final negotiation between the clan and the imperial court, and the preparations before they went to sea. The other is the war in northern Burma, where there has been a fight, and there was not much resistance at first.
It is estimated that in another half a month, after hitting the main towns of the other side, there will be some fierce battles.
Emerald Mountain? Will there really be? It's not that Wan Xue'er suspects Bai Minghe, but the gems are all underground, according to Bai Minghe, those round stones in the river valley may appear with the best jadeite, which is like putting gold on the ground, has no one found it before.
Maybe it's because of the remoteness? Or is it because the locals don't know what jadeite is, and no one really picks it up.
Wan Xue'er put down the file and walked to the map, her jade finger swiping on the map little by little. According to the plan of the Ministry of War, only when this war enters a stalemate will troops be transported from the sea and attacked from both sides from the south to the north. Another reason for not sending troops immediately was due to the lack of troops.
If more soldiers are sent this time, more than half of them will be Korean soldiers, and less than 10% of the Chinese soldiers will be Chinese.
Jadeite! Wan Xueer still has something to look forward to. (To be continued......)
