500 Entering Guangxi

Of course, the price of silk here in Da Nang is indeed sky-high, but the sky-high price has nothing to do with Annan, so they can't make the silk from the Ming Dynasty. If they want to do it, even if the silk here has dropped to a ratio of 2,800 stone per leucometer, they will definitely lose their lives if they make it.

Because of the gorgeous silk of the Ming Dynasty, they could not weave it out at all.

Helplessly, Governor Ruan found Bai Minghe again.

"A noble nobles from Shangguo, our goods have lost the value of transaction here, but I, Annan, do need a lot of precious materials, such as we need the Ming Dynasty's agricultural tools, and we need iron?"

"No problem!" Bai Minghe agreed happily, and then said: "According to the price of Nanzhang, I will send you 20% to the north of Haiyun Peak. How much do you need? Pig iron has pig iron, and fine steel has fine steel. How many do you want in terms of quantity, one million stones, or five million stones?"

The white-famous crane's generousness made Governor Ruan confused.

But when he realized the numbers Bai Minghe said, he was speechless, millions of stones of fine steel.

"If you buy less, don't talk to me. Just arrange a merchant for you. Trade less than one million stone of fine steel is not worth much money. I am very busy." Bai Minghe said that and was about to get up. Governor Ruan quickly stopped him: "Sir, how can one million stone of fine steel be priced?"

"Not much. But I am not interested in any goods. I will trade them with gold and silver. 36 million taels is the friendship price I give you, and it is guaranteed to be stainless steel. If you want to see the sample, you can see it at any time."

I am afraid that it will be possible to get the money from all the noble families of Annan.

"Sir, are there no other trading methods?" Governor Ruan was a little anxious.

"You can buy less from the merchants, but without my friendly price, I guess you will buy 100,000 shi. If you earn money from the merchants in Nanzhang, it is still possible to ask you for more than 4 million taels of silver. If you look for a merchant from Daming, you will definitely be able to get it within 4 million taels of silver."

The white-famous crane is still dull and even a little indifferent.

In Annan's era, there was no enough steel practice. They only had a very small amount of pig iron.

But Bai Minghe knew that the northern part of Annan was a super-large mining area. In the total of only the central and northern iron ore, there must be a reserve of more than one billion tons, and the quality was quite good.

"Let's go!" Bai Minghe said after the governor Annan left, he wanted to leave too.

Sangsong came to see him off in person: "If you don't stay for a few days, the fruits of the new season will be ripe. The durian fruit you ordered will be ripe this year. The varieties moved from Nanyang are indeed top-notch, with delicious flesh."

"Come back in a few days, the people of Annan will probably have a problem in the past two years. You have already made preparations. I want to go back to Guangdong once and make some preparations. You are richer and poorer. If you are poor to the extreme, you will change. I can't guess what this change will be. Always be careful!"

Sansong also agreed with this statement: A country that is extremely rich and a country that is extremely poor is something that is easy to cause war.

A country with a rich country has sufficient soldiers and food, but when a country with a poor country is even threatened to live, people are not afraid of death. On the contrary, the soldiers of a country with a rich country will cherish their lives, and it is hard to say that the outcome will be. Equipment does not represent morale and combat power, but is just an improvement. In the era of cold weapons, what determines the outcome will be morale and military quality.

"Let's send some people to General Mao. The poor soldiers in Champa are willing to fight, just give them enough food."

Bai Minghe nodded: "Let's do it. I'll arrange to prepare five hundred cannons for you. Let the people below settle the relevant fees." Sang Song thanked. He knew that cannons were definitely forbidden items in the Ming Dynasty. Ordinary people couldn't even touch them. No matter what the price was, they would definitely buy them.

Bai Minghe left the house, Wang Cheng walked a few steps slowing down and gave Sangsong a wink.

Sang Song also deliberately slowed down and stood side by side with Wang Cheng.

"Du Sang, please make a secret arrangement. Please prepare a large amount of dried fruit, with no limit on quantity. Don't worry about the price, and the quality must be of high quality. My adult is going to go on a long trip. Some things cannot be said at the moment. You can guarantee that you will be the first to know when it can be announced in a few days."

After Wang Cheng said that, Sansong agreed without saying a word, and also said that he would tell the news to Khmer and Siam.

For the small countries here, dried fruits really want as much as they want, especially the dried bananas can be piled up into mountains like rice. As long as the Ming Dynasty needs to get cooler in the past few days, it will be fine.

The white-known crane got on the boat and just whispered: "Qinzhou Guard!"

The whole journey was full of the Ming Dynasty waters, and there was no security problem. Pedru stayed on the ship as a captive, and he also entered Danang, shocked by the prosperity here. When he heard that this was just an ordinary port for a small country under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, he was shocked by the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Qinzhouwei Wharf.

Pedru's eyes widened and his mouth widened. He saw thousands of ships here, and he had to queue up to enter the dock. Although it was not as big as the one he was riding on, each one was larger than the one he had originally come from Portugal.

He didn't know if Portugal could cope with such a ship if it turned into a fleet.

"Hand under house arrest!" Bai Minghe pointed to Pedru, too lazy to explain more. This person is useful because Portugal is useful. Therefore, Bai Minghe will not take Pedru's life for the time being.

Cheng Kai from Qinzhou Wharf came to greet him: "Brother Bai, why did you suddenly come back and have the interest to take a look?"

"I'm going to Guangxi and make arrangements for me."

Cheng Kai has received the order that Bai Minghe wants to go on an expedition, and is also preparing for the Bai Minghe expedition. But the same thing is said, no one can tell Bai Minghe this secret without the order of the Emperor of Ming.

Cheng Kai thought about it and had to say, "Lord Wang Ao is here!"

"Send me a visit! I want to meet you." Bai Minghe knew that Wang Ao had gone to Guangxi just for stability in Guangxi, so he could make an arrangement when he saw Wang Ao first.

What did Wang Ao do here? As one of the most mysterious arsenals in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Ao received the holy order and prepared materials to help the Baiming crane expedition. As for the expedition, he didn't know, but the holy order was the holy order and must be abide by it. What's more, Yu Qian's telegram asked him to take out the best one at all.

So Wang Ao, the governor of the three provinces, naturally had to guard here personally, and some new muskets must be equipped.

As for Guangxi, it is no longer in Wang Ao's eyes.

It was not that Bai Minghe went to pay homage to Wang Ao, but that Wang Ao had already taken the initiative to find him. First, he performed the etiquette of meeting officials, and then the etiquette of the clan. After all, Bai Minghe married the daughter of the Wang family, and this junior gave the gift to the elders, Wang Ao.

"The white-name crane, the Holy Order, transferred 50 million taels of silver from the sea to be used for railways, shipbuilding, ordnance and other matters. Here is a telegram for long live, Master Yu's telegram. In addition to your signature and approval, there is also a copy of any expenditure in the next year that requires additional expenditure, and your authorization will be used for seals."

When Wang Ao saw Bai Minghe, he first mentioned the important matter.

The Ming Dynasty was an era of very rules, and even the emperor could not break the rules casually. Since it was said that Baiminghe was in charge of the Haishi, then Baiminghe was not at fault and was still the top leader of the Haishi. When Baiminghe called silver, Baiminghe needed to sign and register with seals.

"Mr. Yu is trying to squeeze my sea department dry!" Bai Minghe complained while signing the formal documents. Then Wang Cheng took out the seal of Bai Minghe and used it.

Wang Ao carefully packed the item, and he was helpless. He had originally waited for Bai Minghe to receive the imperial edict before signing it.

However, there are too many calls for the White-Ming He Expedition, so it is impossible to match the amount of money that is not used by the Haisi. Therefore, Baiming He signed the letter first, let Nanjing open the silver number, and pay the merchants enough money for various goods. This is not a transactional goods, but a must-have for the military.

It's what you need on the warship.

On the Expedition of the White-Famous Crane, the top wealthy merchants in the top ten merchants bet on their wealth, and they are not afraid.

Bai Minghe went to the Japanese island once, and the benefits brought back turned countless small merchants into wealthy merchants, turning big merchants into giant merchants. The number of wealthy merchants in the Ming Dynasty has also gone from more than 30 families to nearly one hundred families now.

So, if you bet on expeditions, let alone bet on a large amount of gold, silver and wealth, you can even bet on all your wealth, life and businessmen dare to fight.

After collecting the document signed by Bai Minghe, Wang Ao said to Bai Minghe: "Come with me and take you to see a few people. I'm afraid you will feel very comfortable when you have seen these people. You will never feel uncomfortable for these money."

"Long live the silver, what can I feel uncomfortable?" Bai Minghe smiled happily.

Wang Ao slapped Bai Minghe twice: "You, I know what Wansui said to you when I left Beijing. Wansui said that there would be a sea corpus without you, and there would be no sea corpus without you. Otherwise, why do you have to sign this time? Master Yu also said that the railway will be tested this time. Although you don't have time to go back, he will be the first passenger instead!"

"Railway, this thing costs a lot of money."

The Baiminghe really wanted to build a lot of railways for the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Ao kept talking about the topic on railways and shipbuilding, but he didn't want to mention wars or other things, because he was afraid that he would be bad. He also didn't let Bai Minghe go anywhere. Once Bai Minghe saw that Qinzhou Guards were preparing a large amount of military supplies, it would be difficult to explain.

After entering the Weizheng Hall of Qinzhou, Bai Minghe had not yet entered the house, dozens of people came out of the house and knelt in front of Bai Minghe in rows.

These people's dress...
