DAY 354 The Scholar Dies For The Known

"In addition to corn, there are three major potatoes. According to our Ming Dynasty, they are potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava. There are other crops, such as sweet potatoes, sunflowers, and higher yields of cotton, as well as pumpkins and peppers that are both food and vegetables." Speaking of peppers, the white-famous crane had a strange smile on his face.

He likes this kind of thing.

Yu Qian and Xu Chengzong's expressions changed a little, and they also had a strange idea. How could Bai Minghe know about this?

The white-name crane's expression became serious: "I know, I may be too anxious. But listen to what I think in my heart. Byzantium was destroyed and the Ottoman Empire occupied the Mediterranean. It would force European countries to develop outward. At present, many places in Africa have become their slave countries. They will continue to go east and west. They are robbers. Don't ask me why I said that. My white-name crane guarantees that they are robbers with my life and reputation!"

Speaking of this, even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would believe it without doubt.

The white-famous crane pointed to the map again: "At most thirty years, they will come to the South China Ocean, and at most fifty years, they will arrive here, a beautiful continent and the Americas. At that time, they will be strong, and a wolf is not scary, but what about the pack of wolves?"

Bai Minghe's tone is very heavy, so heavy that it makes people wonder if Bai Minghe can know what happened hundreds of years later?

"These crops, such as potatoes, can be planted in barren sandy land, with a yield of fifty stones per mu. Sweet potatoes can also be planted in sandy land, with a yield of up to 100 stones per mu a year. Two seasons of crops will harvest 13,000 kilograms in the first season in summer and 6,000 kilograms in autumn in the second season. Even if the Ming Dynasty is not adapted to the land, I am content to reduce the yield by 70%.

Bai Minghe spoke in a earnest tone: "I encourage fertility in the Ming Dynasty. If there are too many people, you have to eat."

"Also, my Baiminghe has a dream in this life. When these robbers see my Ming people, they must learn to bend their waists. Instead of posing a lofty and superior attitude in front of my Ming people. In this world, my Ming is the real country of the Celestial Empire, the only one."

What else can I say? Ten veterans have given up their lives and will go to America at all costs.

In their hearts, Bai Minghe's identity has long been no less than that of a prince. He is a noble and powerful figure.

This will talk about the national policy of the Ming Dynasty and the future development of the Ming Dynasty.

As small soldiers who would kneel when they saw an official, the lowest-level soldiers and small officers. They had never heard of anything that even many big men might not be qualified to know.

Think about it, what else is more worth working hard than this one with a yield of 10,000 kilograms of grain per mu?

Did it!

Ten veterans went out of the White Horse Pavilion, almost in the same movement, and tied their mouths with cloth strips. That means they would not say anything.

The soldiers on each boat were carefully selected by carpenters, blacksmiths, sailors, gunners, boatmen, sailors, boaters, etc. There were even a few positions. They did not pick from veterans, but picked young elites from the navy. When they were old, they might not be able to become the best sailor.

When the new ship was launched, nearly two thousand people on these ten ships were practicing day and night, constantly traveling between the Ming Dynasty and Naha.

There were even a few times when they deliberately faced the storm and experienced the feeling of being in the storm. For a whole month, the Baiminghe provided them with the limit of supplies and food, as long as they didn't want it. There was nothing that Baiminghe didn't give.

Finally, the day for departure has come.

This is the auspicious day calculated by the master of the Xuanmiao Temple in Jiangnan and Taoist Qing Lingzi. The ten famous Taoists in the Daomen gathered on the pier to open an altar to worship the world in order to achieve smooth sailing.

The people don’t know what Bai Minghe sent these people to go out to sea forever. But Bai Minghe’s kneeling has spread throughout the provinces in Jiangnan. No one suspects that this incident will be a trivial matter, and no one will think that this is an ordinary voyage.

After twenty-one consecutive cannon sounds, the ship raised its anchor.

At this time, a large ship outside the pier was approaching in the opposite direction. The reason why it was not blocked by the navy outside the pier was the dragon flag on the flagpole. This was an imperial envoy ship from the capital.

Jin Ying appeared at the bow of the ship. Holding a golden imperial edict in his hand, shouting: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty's imperial pen is smooth sailing!"

Two crossbows shot towards the dock, and two big masters borrowed the rope behind the crossbows to leverage the force, holding the imperial pen and putting on the flagship. Jin Ying shouted again: "The boat must not stop, I wish you all the best. On the day of my return, I will discuss the merits of the Taihe Palace!"

What a good sentence for the discussion of the merits of the Taihe Palace!

How many people in the Ming Dynasty were qualified to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and how many people made countless contributions to discussing their achievements in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After ten captains knelt down to the dragon flag, ten ships were full of sails...

"I really want to go by myself!" Bai Minghe looked at the shadow of the ship that was slowly disappearing away, and sighed.

"I believe, but you can't go." Yu Qian said a word next to him, and then said to Wang Cheng: "There must be a decree on the boat. You must follow the white crane when you go to sea. You may not accept the order if you deviate from the predetermined channel."

Yu Qian guessed that was right.

Jin Ying came here in person, which represented the heavy courtesy of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for these long journeys. Bai Minghe's kneeling was moved by not only ten veterans, but also the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Qiyu. He knew very well how hard the knee of Bai Minghe was. Bai Minghe's kneeling was kneeling for the Ming Dynasty. It was really possible to get such high-yield grains back, and the Ming Dynasty would be the one that could really get back thousands of years.

The white-famous crane has a good intention, which really corresponds to what Sun Yuanjun wrote on his handkerchief: Your kindness is as heavy as a mountain!

Zhu Qiyu believed that Bai Minghe was doubled to repay his kindness of knowing and caring. So this time, Jin Ying came to Nanjing, and in addition to escorting Sun Yuanjun to come with him, she was just passing an order to tell Bai Minghe that she should not take risks!

Of course, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu also had another idea.

That is, Bai Minghe will never go overseas alone. Such dangerous things must not happen. The danger lies in the fact that if you don’t use it for yourself, it is dangerous.

Jin Ying got off the boat and saw Bai Minghe. The two of them were about ten steps away, but they didn't say a word, just looking at Bai Minghe. Just looking at Bai Minghe, according to modern times, there was a full minute, without saying hello or speaking, just looking at Bai Minghe, with a quiet expression and no fluctuations in his eyes.

Bai Minghe thought about it, nodded slightly, and then bypassed Jin Ying and went straight onto the boat.

What does this mean? The relationship between two people is very rumored. When they meet, don’t even say a polite word?

Many people don't understand.

But some people understand that, for example, senior eunuchs like Wang Cheng and Zhang Yong who have been in the palace for many years, they are very clear about the meaning of silence. They say it simply in four words, and everything is the same. To put it more complicatedly, I, Jin Ying, did not come here to influence your Bai Minghe's work, but I didn't come to help you do anything, I just came.

This is what Zhang Yong and Wang Cheng understand, and what Jin Ying means.

Bai Minghe's understanding is that Jin Ying, as a great eunuch in the inner palace, can be said to be one of the biggest eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. No one can compare with him in terms of reputation. Even Xing'an and Cheng Jing, who are almost the same as him in terms of power, will give him some face, so he can be said to be the number one eunuch.

Under such an identity, every move will cause many people to think for a long time.

If you don’t talk, don’t move. That means that Kim Young’s arrival here has been completed, and there is no official business. Even if there is a private matter next, it’s not a big deal. If you have time to speak, you don’t need to be here.

If you don’t say hello, it’s really hard to say hello.

In terms of age, Kim Young is a grandfather of Baiming He, and his qualifications are far higher than Baiming He. However, in terms of identity, Baiming He is not inferior to Jin Ying, and Kim Young is just a fourth-rank eunuch. But Baiming He has various responsibilities such as earl, horse, and official positions. In terms of influence in the officialdom and the Ming Dynasty, Kim Young considers himself not as good as Baiming He.

At present, he gave Bai Minghe a first tribute, but Bai Minghe would not receive this gift. But Bai Minghe gave himself a gift first, so Jin Ying would not accept it either. The flat ritual cannot appear because this is the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how much he treats, it is enough for civil servants to discuss it. It is better to turn a blind eye to it.

Bai Minghe’s idea is a bit simple, and it can be said that it is a little different from Jin Ying’s meaning.

But it will not affect the overall situation.

After getting on the boat, Sun Yuanjun was holding the child in the boat warehouse. She didn't know if she was getting off the boat here. Seeing Bai Minghe appear, Sun Yuanjun cried immediately. It was not aggrieved or suffered any pain. Anyway, she wanted to cry for no reason. She hadn't seen Bai Minghe for a long time, and Bai Minghe was not by her side when she gave birth.

"Change the boat and go home."

Bai Minghe only said these two words, how could he coax Sun Yuanjun not to cry? Bai Minghe was at a loss.

There are many palace maids accompanying her next to her, and Bai Minghe doesn’t know how to do it.

A hug was a little bit unfathomable in front of so many people.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped Sun Yuanjun's tears. Bai Minghe said, "I was a little surprised. I didn't expect you to come so soon. I think you always have to wait for your child to travel after the full month of the year, but you came here early. The house here is ready, and I was planning to wait a few more days before I go to Beijing to pick you up."

Sun Yuanjun stopped crying. Even when she saw Bai Minghe, she wanted to cry, she didn't know the reason.

After hearing Bai Minghe's words, Sun Yuanjun said, "You can't go back to the capital. When you left the capital, the Empress Dowager sent someone to spread the message, saying that it was like long live. He told you not to run to the capital this year. Many officials in the capital were afraid that you would make trouble. Some officials also said that it was a good thing to torture the Six Ministry of Nanjing in Nanjing, and not to return to Beijing. It would be a blessing to let them be quiet for a year."

Bai Minghe was a little amused and crying after hearing this.

Only then did Sun Yuanjun explain the reason: "The Beijing official exam every three years, and this year is exactly the third year. Many positions will move, so no one wants you to go back."

"I'm afraid I'll make trouble!" Bai Minghe looked like I understood.
