Bai Minghe had something in his heart that he had never told anyone.

For example, there is a sentence: The highest level of telling lies is to tell the truth. The second level is to say that nine sentences are true and one sentence is false.

This is the situation now. Baiminghe spent time and energy, giving the Siam prince a simple and direct impression. Baiminghe was also considering whether it was worth it. Whether this time, he used the power of saying "no". Only by learning to say no can he be respected more.

"Young Master Bai, you also helped me." Prince Siam asked.

"Your Highness, I will tell you. I have two righteous brothers. The righteous brothers mean that they were not born to the same parents. But as the above testimony, they became brothers of different surnames, and did not ask for birth in the same year and month, but asked for death in the same year and month. One of the fathers was originally a governor in the north of my Ming Dynasty, and he died of illness."

After hearing what Bai Minghe said, the Siam prince immediately put his hands together and prayed silently.

"His eldest son, my brother's elder brother, is not easy for the people to support the soldiers on such a large land. What's more, they had some wars with the grassland people in the north. His more than 300,000 soldiers under him needed food, and you helped me when I needed it most, so I don't want to refuse your request. But this time, I have to hesitate and have to consider it carefully when it comes to the principled issues that affect the internal affairs of his country!"

"Yeah!" The Siam prince nodded heavily. He could hear what Bai Minghe was telling the truth.

Bai Minghe continued, "I'll tell you two more things. The first thing is. In the entire Guangdong Province, there are no silk and porcelain sold on the market. I mobilized supplies from the four provinces of Jiangnan and barely supplemented the needs of Guangdong. My governor of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, Duke of Wei made a special trip to Guangdong to cause trouble for me a few days ago. The reason is that I took the time to stock his silk stocks in the four provinces of Jiangnan. You know, if the people can't buy the goods they need, silk will inevitably increase in the prices in the four provinces of Jiangnan."

The Siam prince didn't know how to answer.

Bai Minghe's words represent two meanings. The first one is to trade with Siam, and he has invested a lot of money.

Siam's profit from the sale of silk was huge. The price he gave to Siam was considered to be low.

The second meaning also reflects from the side that Bai Minghe has a huge ability and can air the supplies in several provinces of the Ming Dynasty. This is not something that ordinary small officials can do.

He is probably also a top noble in the Ming Dynasty.

"The amount of rice required is 10 million stones a year. If it is more, it will probably affect the income of our Ming farmers."

"You don't have to worry about silk. Of course, I have a way. I guarantee that the goods given to you will not be small. I will call the military warehouse for one thousand stones of fine steel on the grounds that there is not enough silk stock. It is fine steel, not iron." Bai Minghe emphasized the fine steel.

One thousand stones are one hundred thousand kilograms of fine steel.

Steel is definitely a strategic material, and such things are definitely not the same as silk.

In terms of proportion, the 100,000 stones of fine steel in this era are no less than the modern era in later generations. They directly sold hundreds of first-class tanks in service, or even mainstream-level main battle tanks. Their significance is no longer trade, but arms support.

The Siam prince's eyes were lit.

"Mr. Bai, I am willing to die in the same year and month as you. We can become brothers in front of the Buddha."

"Isn't this the Sanqing Zhenren I believe in? "Bai Minghe looked serious.

"It does not affect at all. I, Siamese people, believe that the Buddha and the Three Pure Ones are also friends." The words of the Siamese Prince completely mean that he is a very qualified politician.

Bai Minghe would not refuse such a good thing.

At this moment, Bai Minghe made another suggestion: "If this happens, you can help me find some excuses for Brother Roland, and I can help you. But I can't take action on Khmer. I can sell it to you with some supplies, or buy some Khmer goods. But at present, I still need you as an intermediary, at least in name, I just trade with you Siam!"

The Siam prince could hear that this was the benefit given to him by the white crane, which made it easier for him to control the Khmer.

Then, next, Baiminghe will definitely put forward the conditions.

"The first condition is that I need a reasonable excuse for steel to be out of stock. It doesn't matter whether there is anyone who believes this thing. When those people in the court support you, your excuse is the reason. When you don't support you, even if it is your legitimate reason, it is an excuse."

This is a bit confusing, but the Siam prince can understand it.

The two Khmer envoys had no say because they were originally subordinate.

"In three years, Siam will control Chittagong within three years. Because I have declared war on Delhi, I need to have a strategic port. The reason is almost three years."

The Siam prince in Chittagong knew that the power of defense was ridiculous for the power of Baiming Crane. Not to mention the powerful Ming Empire behind Baiming Crane. This is really just an excuse. Siam may take some effort to capture Chittagong, but it also has long-term benefits, such as being able to attack Myanmar on the side.

"It must be taken." The Siam prince agreed without saying a word.

"The second requirement may be a bit too much. If your brother is embarrassed, just think that I have not mentioned it." Bai Minghe first put on a serious look, and in his heart, he felt that this requirement was very powerful.

The Siam prince nodded solemnly.

"The mother of our Ming emperor is Buddhist, and the queen is also Buddhist. So I want to ask for some real Buddhist treasures, such as books of great monks, rosary and other treasures. When the New Year is over, I will offer gifts. You must understand this brother. Sometimes, the elders protect me, so it is easier to do things below!"

Understand, why not.

The treasures the Siam prince collected were not the same as sending them to the palace to the women of his father. Isn’t it just for someone to say good things to him?

This matter may be considered difficult in the mind of the Siam prince, because the Buddha treasure is not an ordinary treasure. It may be disrespectful to ask for it as a gift, but the Siam prince is a real politician, and it will take until the Ming Dynasty and New Year. Calculate the time, and there are still three months left to give him enough time to prepare.

And he had thought about the reason that the Ming Dynasty was the sect leader of Siam and was also the closest ally in Siam. Therefore, he gathered thousands of monks in the royal city and prepared dozens of decent things for them, and could also pick out a few of those ancient objects.

Thinking of this, the Siam prince agreed without saying a word.

Bai Minghe said the thanks many times before he reached the third request.

"Actually, the last requirement is good for both of us. The first step is to expand the port. There are at least 36 berths on the dock, which are built on the standard of two thousand ships. In addition, it is necessary to prepare for further expansion. The Ming Dynasty still has 4,000 materials, 5,000 materials, or even 10,000 materials. You can't use a small ship to restock every time you come."

The Siam prince nodded and agreed. This matter is indeed something that both sides have good intentions.

"The second step is the issue of tariffs. When the Ming Dynasty and Siam transactions, do these merchants don't need to pay taxes? Whether it is the supplier paying taxes or the buyers paying taxes, it is the same. It is an increase in money and collected by the Siam royal family. It doesn't matter in the early stage, but what if there are too many merchants in the later stage?"

The Siam prince shook his head violently.

"No, you don't have to pay taxes. You won't allow ordinary merchants to come here to buy goods. On the contrary, I also ask Mr. Bai, your fleet, to be only in the port "koujiao" that I guide. And you refuse to trade with them without authorized merchants. If all merchants are involved, you will be afraid that it will be difficult to manage and the quality of the goods will not be guaranteed."

"Then it depends on your elder brother!"

Bai Minghe even called her brother, so she would probably decide on the day she chose before the New Year.

The general direction has been negotiated, and there are some details that the Siam prince should go back and consider. One thing is certain, and the content of high-quality steel has been added to the directory of the transaction materials. However, Bai Minghe did not give a very accurate reply when this steel was handed over.

In the heart of the Siam prince, the white-famous crane boss's wife was supported by the noble lady in the Ming Dynasty Palace, so she could take it out.

Under such an idea, the Siam prince asked for several Buddha treasures for the white-famous crane.

The white-famous He sent the Siam prince away, turned around and went to Qinghe.

There are six girls from Khmer, one of them said that she is a princess. Of course, if her father can truly become the new Khmer king, then she will be the real princess.

When he saw Qinghe, Qinghe told Bai Minghe: "It's really shabby for them to take a shower and change clothes, or they are princesses. I guess they haven't seen a few pieces of silk in the entire Khmer."

Bai Minghe's brow frowned slightly: "These six people are actually a big trouble, and they are also a big burden."

"How to say it?" Qinghe was a little confused.

Under the education of the Ming Dynasty, this Xiaobang offered a woman. If a woman with a noble status was to marry her, she would mean a marriage. To put it lower, this is Xiaobang currying favor with Bai Minghe. Of course, he was also placing a person who was their side, a little girl, and how could she make trouble.

Bai Minghe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a trouble. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. When I return to Guangdong, this matter cannot be covered. If there is always a saying. Originally, I thought it would be the best idea to send them into the palace, but think about it carefully. The things I did in the south may not even know in the palace. Some of the words are spread too much, which is definitely a bad thing."

Qinghe covered her mouth.

Qinghe thought of what Bai Minghe said in this action and expression.

The white-famous crane is in the south, and it feels like he is dominating the king.

Especially outside of going out of the sea, it is obviously a representative of the Ming Dynasty to the Gentiles. To put it seriously, it is not too much to say that the white-famous crane is powerful and blessed.

If this is spread, it will definitely be a bad thing.
