The technology of silkworm breeding was no longer a secret of China in the late Tang Dynasty.

Baiminghe knew clearly that at present, in 1452 AD, Italy had already had a large-scale silk industrial park. Spain seemed to start a new silk industrial park. Of course, the industrial parks of this era were just large-scale handicraft workshops connected together.

There are raw silk on the Japanese island, and the quantity is not small.

At least, in the entire Japanese island, it is barely enough to be self-sufficient. The silk of the Ming Dynasty is even more gorgeous and beautiful. This is the gap in silk craftsmanship, but the craftsmanship of raw silk is not a big secret. You only need to train a group of skilled workers for the Takeda family. Baiminghe believes that some merchants in the Ming Dynasty are willing to do this.

"Seven acres of mulberry fields and one load of silk. I will give you goods equivalent to one hundred taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty. No matter what goods you can choose, including steel..." When talking about steel, Takeda Nobue was moved and asked immediately: "Is it the Tang sword given by Lord Bai?"

"You have to understand that it takes a process to turn steel into a knife. But you are not wrong. It is indeed this kind of steel."

Bai Ming Tsuru's words made the last line of defense in Takeda Nobue's heart collapse.

"I will make a calculation for you. If you collect two stones of rice per acre of land, seven acres of land will be only fifteen stones of rice. If you change it to raw silk, a goods of one hundred taels of silver are not one hundred taels of silver. The goods of the Ming Dynasty can at least double your profits. For example, white linen, think about the clothes worn by the farmers in your territory that are comparable to those of the warriors in other places, will anyone be willing to come to your territory?"

Takeda Nobuei still knelt down in a kneeling posture. After thinking about Bai Minghe's words, he thought it was reasonable.

The place where he is mainly mountainous, and the terraced fields were learned from the Ming Dynasty, but the work was also very poor. One acre of land would earn two stones of rice.

According to the algorithm of Baiminghe, his income will increase by ten times or twenty times.

"But, what are the people who don't have rice to eat?"

Bai Minghe laughed heartily: "How many rice do I have? The rice in my hand is enough to prevent the four provinces of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty from farming. Have you ever seen the mulberry forests that stretch hundreds of miles across Huzhou? Of course, the raw silk on your Japanese island is definitely not as good as the silk of Huzhou, but I believe that you will not be too bad when you work hard."

Takeda Nobuei was still a little suspicious.

"I will take the guests there to pass the message from Humenkura. I will ask the managers of each warehouse to prepare the keys and carriages. Then I will arrange for someone to call Oda and the people from the Nanbu family to come here."

After saying that, Bai Minghe stood up and made a gesture to Takeda Nobuei.

"Please ask first!" Takeda Nobuei opened the door for the White-Kurai.

There is a pier in the south of the island, and the boats are already waiting here. The white-named crane boarded the boat, and the ships in the distance also came in flags. It means that people have already received it, whether to send a boat or see you at Humen Wharf.

The white-known crane signaled to meet at Humen, and it only took half an hour to cross the sea.

The Japanese fleet did not really enter Guangzhou Bay. Their ships were parked at Guanghai Xinwei, which was the location of Jinxing Bay in Zhuhai in later generations. This place was mainly garrisoned and not freight, so it only needed to have suitable shipbuilding, ship repairs, military camps and other places, without a large number of waterways.

The distance between the sea route is about ninety miles, and the one on which the white-famous crane is sitting is the latest style of sailing and paddles.

The oar is not a rowing oar, but a wheel with a diameter of two meters on both sides of the hull. Each group of four people in the ship pushes the winch at a speed of fifteen knots. If the wind is used at the same time, it can reach up to twenty knots.

There is also a smaller, short and thin one that can reach a speed of up to twenty-four knots, which is specially used for coastal sending letters. Because each boat can only have ten occupants and does not have much ability to resist wind and waves, it can only be used for coastal sending letters.

The one who was sitting in the Baiming Crane had only twenty-four passengers, including the boatman and the people he was riding.

It was smooth sailing. In less than an hour, it arrived at the Lion's mouth. The speed here slowed down and even the speed of seven knots could not reach the speed. One reason was that it was already upstream and the wind was much smaller. Another reason was that there were too many boats here, so many that distances could make people jump from one boat to another.

"So many ships!" Takeda Nobue sighed.

Zeng Tao said next to him: "Humen Wharf has a daily throughput of 77,000 stones. Many valuable goods have been allowed to go further north. The new construction of Lianhuashan Wharf is still a little small, but it also has a daily throughput of 9,000 stones."

Every day! This quantity makes Takeda Nobue really don’t know what to say.

The goods on this day exceeded the quantity of foreign transactions in his territory for more than one year. This huge gap made him feel all kinds of flavors and all kinds of flavors.

Soon, Takeda Nobue felt another gap, which was the size of the ship.

When I first entered this Taiping Waterway, I had not seen a giant ship. A giant ship more than ten feet long in front of me was really the difference between a tiger and a kitten compared to the small boat that the white crane was riding.

But there are even bigger ones, a fleet of ships that are more than twenty meters tall and are blocked by the waterway, and all the ships are waiting for the giant ship to enter the port first.

"Hey, little... Lord Bai!" A shout came from the huge lucky ship.

I originally wanted to call Xiaobai, but maybe I saw Takeda Nobue so I changed my words temporarily.

Bai Minghe first glanced at the number on the hull, then looked up: "General Lei, why are you on this boat?"

The ship was Lei Jingtian, and the lucky ship should be used to transport food to Siam according to the arrangement. It is the most reliable to transport food. The ship is large and stable. Although it is a little slower, the food is not a valuable item, so naturally I am not afraid of delaying a few days. It is just that the white-famous crane is a little surprised. According to the saying, Lei Jingtian should be in Little Luzon.

Lei Jingtian laughed a few times and took out a ruby ​​the size of a fist from his arms.

This gem is in the sun, especially when looking from bottom to top, facing the sun, and the dazzling red light pierces deep into the hearts.

Bai Minghe also smiled: "Put down the hanging basket!"

There are many hanging baskets on both sides of the lucky boat, some of which are used to attract people, while the largest ones are for easy loading.

The white-name crane boarded the Fukuo ship, and the boat naturally entered the port as planned and parked on the berth for officials. Takeda, Oda and the three southern families were also pulled on the Fukuo ship.

Zeng Tao whispered beside him: "This general is the third-rank commander of my Ming Navy, General Lei."

Facing Lei Jingtian, who was only wearing a lightweight navy leather armor, the three Japanese guests gave enough respect. Lei Jingtian returned the gift with the Ming army salute, but Bai Minghe said from the side: "For the first time we met, Lei Jingtian would not give a small gift of meeting."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Lei Jingtian gave someone three standard daggers in the Ming army. These three must be the same as the sword given by Bai Minghe, but they are also made by making steel. They are much better than ordinary swords.

After giving the gift, Lei Jingtian took out the ruby ​​again: "My eldest daughter is going to get married, so she always needs some dowry. This piece of festiveness was finally found. Two craftsmen from the palace in the lending house polished me up. I will find another piece specifically for you to give it to your princess wife!"

Lei Jingtian just heard that Sun Yuanjun was actually named a princess, so he naturally wanted to exchange himself for a good gem and split it up.

"You are well-informed." Bai Minghe smiled and turned to Zeng Tao and said, "The guests will go and see the goods in the warehouse." After that, he said to Takeda Nobue, "If the topic can be continued just now, this ship of rice will belong to you. You can exchange a load of raw silk for 500 stones of rice here!"

"Hayi!" Takeda Nobue bowed respectfully and followed Zeng Tao into the cabin.

Lei Jingtian's expression changed: "You didn't come to me on purpose, you didn't send anyone to notify me in advance."

"It was an accident when I met you. Originally, I took them to see the Humen Guan Cang. General Lei, don't tell me the bad. Let me tell you the truth. I am fooling them not to farm and planting mulberry trees. A load of raw silk is 500 stone rice. By then, they will plant mulberry trees, and the food rations are stuck in my hands. This is a shot of ten or eight birds with one arrow!"

Lei Jingtian is a rough man, but not a stupid man.

"They don't look stupid!"

"But what if the Japanese island entered the Warring States Period?" Bai Minghe asked back.

"You are cruel." Lei Jingtian didn't understand why a small country would definitely give up growing food for its own development and face the strong enemies around him for enough military expenditure. Even if he knew that this was a huge crisis, he would give up.

Bai Minghe said again: "They will definitely think that if they occupy other people's territory, they will have more fields and then grow grain in those fields. But when their power is greater, they will face stronger enemies. So they will still plant mulberry again and come to me for food. This is called the trick of Jiuzhi. Even though they know it is poison, the more they drink it, the deeper the damage it will be, but it will not work if they don't drink it."

"Poison! It's really poisonous. What's wrong with me?" Lei Jingtianxin said that there were any arrangements for him in this plan.

"It's not your business, your task is to go back to Luzon quickly. Train Mo Long and others into useful navy, so that all those around you will not accept it, and learn how to write the word "submission"." Bai Minghe responded with a smile.

It was an accident that encountered Lei Jingtian, and it was this accident that brought him many benefits.

The grain in the warehouse was piled into sacks and reached the top of the warehouse. This ship was nearly 30,000 stones of rice. There were twenty such large ships alone, and this fleet alone had 600,000 stones of rice.

The person from the Oda family is actually the head of the family, Hoshida None.

Speaking of which, he has a good relationship with the Takeda family, but his identities are different on both sides. Both Takeda and the South are larger than his Oda family. Ushima is a society that pays great attention to identity levels. Oda Nobu also believes that it is absolutely correct to invite Takeda Nobue to the Ming Dynasty first.

The three Japanese absolutely did not believe that this fleet was specifically for fakes for them.

This is a temporary arrangement, and the fleet is also really returning to the port to transport the food back.

"Tada Jun, I just seemed to hear General Lei say something like the palace, princess, and the like." When Zeng Tao was a little far away from them, Nanbu Kosuke whispered to Takeda Nobue. (To be continued...)
