"East Gate, do you really want to go down the West?"

Jiehe Wangbeiting's conversation has become a little serious.

To be honest, Bai Siwen was just flattering Wu Haogu before. Although he had said a few good things in a bunch of flowers, he never thought that he would really accomplish anything for Wu Haogu.

The "Guram warriors" he found for Wu Haogu were also discovered by Zhao Zhongge that apart from knowing a little knowledge of water war, they had no real skills. They were sent to Haizhou to train sailors with Huamanshan. The so-called big-food horse is probably still in India. Only two "Ross Cats" have been put into practice. However, Wu Haogu never asked him for it!

Now Wu Haogu suddenly made such a suggestion to make him go to the West... Bai Siwen was a little overwhelmed.

"Of course it's true!" Wu Haogu looked at Bai Siwen. He actually knew that this Baifan businessman from Quanzhou was not a reliable guy.

But the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce will definitely have a way to send people to Baghdad and bring them back! Even the Ji family maritime merchants may not be able to do this. Wu Haogu knew that the Ji family maritime merchants could go to the West and Southeast Asia, but he had never heard of them going to Baghdad.

In this case, the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce is possible to use it.

"Bai Yuanwai," Wu Haogu's tone also had a sacred atmosphere, "In fact, the officials had long had the idea of ​​connecting to the Western Regions, but the Western land route was blocked by the Western thieves and could not be carried out. If the sea route was accessible, the officials would send an envoy after they were in charge of power. This was an envoy, not an envoy who led the way alone... There would be many people, including chief envoys, merchants, monks, Taoists and Confucian scholars. Not only should they seek Tianfang Taoism from the Caliphate of the Great Food Kingdom, but they should also spread the principles of our Confucianism to Baghdad and Rome!"

Ah? You also want to spread Confucianism to the Caliph and the Roman Pope? Bai Siwen was also shocked by the grand ideal of Wu Haogu. In the west, the Cross and Tianfang Sects have become a mess. If there is a Confucian Taoist that spreads the West, what would it be like?

"Official Bai, then you will be an official from the Song Dynasty!"

Looking at Bai Siwen's surprised face, Wu Haogu smiled and fooled, "At least I can protect you as an ambassador. If you return from a journey west, you will definitely be named a rampant official. That is a serious rampant, not a donor!

Among you Tianfang Sect merchants in Quanzhou, who can achieve such an official position? At that time, you will be the leader of Quanzhou's foreign merchants!"

A rampant official, or the leader of Quanzhou's foreign merchants?

Bai Siwen was immediately moved. He believed in the Tianfang Sect, but he was also a Confucian scholar and had passed the imperial examination in Quanzhou. Naturally, he wanted to be an official... Although the rampant officials were nothing in Kaifeng Prefecture, there were a lot of people in the Western Army, but it would be rare in Quanzhou. If he became a member of the Bai family, he would be better than others in Quanzhou in the future.

"Master," Bai Siwen said solemnly, "I can't make any decisions about this matter. I have to ask my Bai family's head for instructions. Can I give you a reply next year?"

"Okay." Wu Haogu smiled and said, "The opportunity is rare, so don't miss it. If you let other companies take the lead, then other companies will be the first of Quanzhou merchants."

"Sure, certain." Bai Siwen responded quickly. However, he had a lot of thought in his heart. The Song Dynasty court was famous for being liked to show off in front of foreigners. He was obviously a weak cock, but he wanted to go up to the Celestial Kingdom. Wu Haogu was also a lucky villain. As a villain, he naturally had to flatter him and set up an ambassador to go to Baghdad, take a walk around Rome, and then bring back a few caliphs and Christian envoys. Isn't it just that all countries have come to pay tribute?

Well, that's probably what it means?

For the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce and the Bai family in Quanzhou, it is nothing more than putting a few sea boats... Oh, there is no need to put a boat, just let the Song Dynasty court build its own ships. The Aladdin Chamber of Commerce launches a sailor on the bow and can pull people to the west. Maybe they can also take a little silk and porcelain while on the way!

Moreover, when the merchant group arrives west, the caliphs in Baghdad are bound to be rewarded. Although the current caliphs have been undermined by the Turkish Sultan, their path seems to be similar to that of the officials in the Song Dynasty. They all like to come to the court for all countries, and they are unique in their face!

If the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce brought the mission of the Song Dynasty, it would have been a piece of cake for this generation of caliphs! Isn’t it a piece of cake to reward a few ships of gold, silver and treasures for such great contributions from the Bai family?

This business can be made in both ends, but it’s really a huge profit!

Looking at the unconcealed smile on Bai Siwen's face, Wu Haogu knew that his proposal for temporary performance would be successful.

However, unlike what Bai Siwen imagined, Wu Haogu did this to flatter Song Huizong. He is now the king of flattery. There are so many flatteries that he can't even beat him. He still has to make trouble with this? Moreover, this flattery costs a lot, takes a long time, and takes slow results, which is not economical at all.

But from the perspective of moving towards great voyage, it is necessary to send missions to the West, because missions are the pioneers in opening up Western shipping routes and colonial development!

Although the Song Dynasty is not conservative and closed, it does not know much about the West. The routes between the South and the West are basically controlled by the Arabs. It was difficult for the men of the Song Dynasty to go to the ocean west of Malacca alone, let alone to the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.

This East-West route is the most profitable maritime route in today's era, and it is also the main channel for exchanges between East-West civilizations.

If the Song Dynasty wanted to truly embark on the era of great voyage, it would have to start from this channel instead of the channel to the New Continent of America... Wu Haogu was a painting in his previous life. He knew where the Americas were, but he didn't know how to drive the ship over.

Therefore, we can only start with the existing Maritime Silk Road. To take over the Maritime Silk Road, we must cooperate with the official and private, and businessmen and doctors (Confucian missionaries) to expand outward.

Relying solely on the official will make you go around the West like the Ming Dynasty, and you will not leave anything after a walk. If the official does not make a move, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty's maritime merchants to break the Arab monopoly west of Malacca.

Similarly, if only merchants go out, Confucian doctors will not follow up. Then the merchants who settle overseas and their descendants may be green. Moreover, Han merchants without the support of Confucian beliefs and armed doctors will easily become a mess and become the targets of bullying by indigenous and Arabs!

The ideal state is that wherever the merchant goes, the Confucian academy should be opened! Wherever the academy is opened, the official embassy should be set up. The maritime merchants who are both business and thieves, the doctors with one hand, the Five Classics and the other hand, represent the envoys who fooled people on behalf of the Song Dynasty. Only by cooperating with each other can the best expansion effect be achieved.

Now, Arabia's development in the South China Sea and the Western development is the model of merchants and imams. In contrast, Song Shang was unable to be at a disadvantage without the support of Confucian scholars... If you want to get it back, you can only add the mission of the Song Dynasty.

The missions traveling west to Baghdad can completely stop halfway and visit the monarchs of countries along the way, and can also obtain the official permission to establish a Confucian academies in port cities along the way.

With academies, Han Chinese merchants have organizations, and with ideas, they can require indigenous and Tianfang scholars to respect Confucian beliefs and living habits and the right to freely spread Confucianism!

What Wu Haogu wanted to build is not an independent academies, but a group of academies led by the Great Doctoral Order and the Small Doctoral Order. They can support them from all sides when they are in trouble. Moreover, they are not only the "Five Classics Doctors" who spread the Saint Avenue, but also the armed Doctors who are specifically responsible for conquering people with virtue.

We have already found ways to spread the truth and open up sailing. As for money, there are many ways to make money now. Then there is only one question left. How to set up a doctoral group?

After sending Bai Siwen away, Wu Haogu returned to his municipal office, sat behind the desk, twisted his eyebrows, and began to think about this problem.

To initiate a Confucian Doctoral Order, you must first have a well-known Confucian academy? The Six Arts Academy that teaches children is definitely not good at Liuyi Academy can train armed doctors, but it is not qualified to initiate a doctoral group.

Moreover, Wu Haogu himself is not a great scholar. Even if he has a big academy, he is not qualified to be the chief of the academy and the head of the doctoral sect!

It seems that we must get a great scholar's skin as soon as possible! Otherwise, there would not be many Confucian scholars who would surrender, and then no one would be sent to participate in the Western Expedition Group.

"Official," Bai Feifei's soft voice rang in Wu Haogu's ears at this time, "The letter sent from Kaifeng has arrived."

"Oh." Wu Haogu replied, "Who is it?"

"There are three letters from the family." Bai Feifei was also thick-skinned. She and Wu Haogu had no name at all, but they always called Wu Haogu "officials" and called Kaifeng Wu family "family".

"One letter belongs to my sister, one is from the old master, and the other is from my second brother."

My sister is Pan Qiaolian. Ximen Qing has now gone to Haizhou and Kaifeng Prefecture's home (referring to Wu Haogu's small home) and Pan Qiaolian is the one who is the one who is the one who is Wu Haowen. God is Wu Chengzhi, so my second brother is naturally Wu Haowen.

"Give me my second brother's letter first." Wu Haogu ordered.

Bai Feifei handed a envelope to Wu Haogu, and then said to him: "In addition to the three letters from his family, Mi Yuanhui, Gao Shiyan, Su Dalang, Mo Niangzi, and Mi Dian all sent them all."

"Mi Dian, Mi Xiangyang?"

Wu Haogu had probably finished reading Wu Haowen's letter at this time. The content on the letter was very simple, and there were only two things. One was to tell Wu Haogu that he had become the official character; the other was to tell Wu Haogu that Empress Dowager Wu Haogu had already withdrawn from the curtain and returned to power on the tenth day of the seventh month.

When Wu Haogu opened the letter sent by Pan Qiaolian, he asked again: "What is the matter in Mi Xiangyang's letter?"
Chapter completed!
