Bai Minghe returned to Manila Port three days after Sulu's battle. Deng Hailong sent his men to take off the boat to sweep the sea, while he followed Bai Minghe back to Manila Port.
When Qinghe and other women from the Ming Dynasty stepped on the land of Mani Port, they were really shocking.
Compared to the luxuriousness of Qinghe and others, the women of the young Luzon chiefs were like savages in the mountains. After seeing Qinghe and others, these women hid behind the trees.
"People rely on clothes!" Bai Minghe only said four words when he saw this scene.
Wang Yang stepped forward: "The Han people from the outside world greeted Lord Bai, and the chiefs offered gifts to him." After saying that, he waved his hand back, and a hundred slaves walked past the Baiming crane one by one. If you want to say that there are any treasures, there are really no one. Little Luzon is still in an undeveloped state.
The only thing that the white crane likes is a plate of the same size, each of which reaches a diameter of one centimeter, with a total of about one hundred golden pearls. This is a specialty of Luzon. It seems that only Luzon has natural golden pearls in the world.
The white-known He nodded to Qinghe.
Qinghe called a woman who was originally a palace maid: "Go and dress up the wives of these chiefs."
Bai Minghe, Deng Hailong and others lived in the most gorgeous manor in Manila. This manor was built based on the combination of Han style and local style, and the wood used was very precious.
On the first day, the locals held a banquet, and the white-famous crane attended the banquet but said nothing.
The next day, a banquet was held by Bai Minghe, showing the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the gorgeousness and colorfulness of the Ming Dynasty banquet.
On the third day, the chief women who were finally dressed up were sent back.
"It took three days!" Bai Minghe sighed.
The palace maid replied: "Mr. Bai, their skin is too thick and their faces are too dark. And their feet are big, so it took a day to protect and support them. They also need to change their clothes. Three days are already short. If you want them to be as beautiful as the women of the Ming Dynasty, it will take at least one to two months."
"Very good, the time here is just for wasting. Don't worry, go down and receive the reward."
There was no banquet on the third day.
After being together for many years, a woman who suddenly becomes beautiful will make men's male hormones soar. Of course, it is necessary to do some passionate things.
Bai Minghe and Deng Hailong were sitting by the sea, blowing the sea breeze and drinking wine.
"Xiaobai, what are you waiting for?" Deng Hailong saw that Bai Minghe had not been moved these days. You should know that there are so many people in the fleet, and the daily food and drink are definitely not a small number. He only purchases sea fish here every day, as well as some local fruit food, which is ten throttles of silk every day.
So Deng Hailong had to ask.
"When waiting for the first fleet of Fujian Dushi, they should arrive at the time I agreed. And Chen Ada's first batch of coconuts should also be loaded on the ship, and then we will talk to Little Luzon."
Bai Minghe gave Deng Hailong an explanation.
Deng Hailong asked again: "Is this enemy worth my personal appearance?"
"It's worth it. It's a matter of facing this enemy. It originally only takes twenty ships to solve it, but we sent two hundred ships. One purpose is strategic deterrence, and the other reason is that the navy hasn't fought for too long. I have no idea. I want to unify Nanyang. Next, the enemies we face will be much stronger, and the countries such as Sanfoqi and Malujia will never let us pass through their straits at will."
"I have foresight, but this is a foreign war, and you can't get the military talisman!"
Deng Hailong was right. The area where the Baiming crane is now traveling is nominally adjacent to the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty, so it is no longer far away unless the ban on the sea is lifted.
Bai Minghe did not answer because he didn't know what would happen next.
In a blink of an eye, another day passed, and the first fleet from Fujian had already rested at the Manila port.
The Fujian fleet is full of heavy-loaded cargo ships. The pirates in the South China Sea have been swept by Guangdong Dusi once, and there are twenty warship routes patrolling every day. These heavy-loaded cargo ships are all original 1,500 material ships. After some modifications, the actual load capacity reaches 1,800 material.
Most of the silo stones were replaced with food, water and other items.
Heavy goods are loaded downwards, and light goods are loaded on the upper layer.
These ships could not speed up, and they were only seven knots under the full sail. It would take seven hours to get out of Quanzhou Guard to Manila Port. This time it was the first time the fleet sailed, so it took a day and a night to arrive at Manila Port.
At the same time, twenty ships of coconut were transported from Sulu to Manila.
The reason for rest was that because the route was not familiar with it, the pilots needed to be exchanged. Dozens of pilots from Fujian Dushi boarded the fleet under Chen A’s headquarters. Lu Qiyuan found Wang Yang.
"We need some guides who can give ten taels of silver a month!"
Wang Yang shook his head. Lu Qiyuan thought he refused, but he didn't expect Wang Yang to say, "Silver is not very useful here. There are silver mines and gold mines here, but very few are mined. Whether it is gold or silver, the purity is very low, and only used for decorations, so it is useless to give them silver."
"Then, how about twenty-foot silk?" Lu Qiyuan asked again.
"Yes, but the silk cannot be handed over to them, but to the chiefs." Wang Yang changed Lu Qiyuan's quotation.
After talking about the Navigator's affairs, Lu Qiyuan was about to leave. This surprised Wang Yang and blocked Lu Qiyuan: "I saw that the ship was pulling coconuts. Are these things worth your freight?"
"Mr. Bai said it was worth it. The final price was that coconuts were divided into four sizes. There were steel rings agreed upon by both parties. From large to small, the price of one hundred coconuts was equivalent to one stone of rice, and then one hundred two, one hundred four, one hundred six hundred. This time, the price of coconuts on twenty boats was about 6,600 stone of rice, which was discounted to two tumblers of silk!"
In the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty, all the rice is used as the standard price.
On the basis of rice as the standard price, silk has been used as the standard price.
Wang Yang calculated silently in his mind. These twenty ships were loaded with about 700,000 coconuts, and 700,000 coconuts sounded a lot, but they could mobilize 3,000 people and pick enough quantities around Manila in one day. If all the islands in Luzon were all available, Malani could do this, providing an average of 200,000 coconuts per day, or even more.
"I want to talk to Lord Bai." Wang Yang mentioned.
"If it's a small matter, just look for me. Unless it's a big matter, if it's a big matter, if it's a coconut here, it's fine according to the price of Sulu. I can decide this matter." Lu Qiyuan answered indifferently.
Wang Yang shook his head: "I believe there is something more attractive here in Manila than coconut."
After the fleets on both sides set off again, Bai Minghe and Deng Hailong visited the entire island at the invitation of all the chiefs of Malani.
"Xiaobai, let you calculate it again. This so-called play should be to let you see what they have to buy here. In the past few days, several generals want to talk to you. What do you think?"
"I don't know anything about people. Let them arrange the fleet, send the extra ships back first, and change them to the cargo ship. Then people and us relax on the island, and there is always a chance to talk."
Deng Hailong knew that Bai Minghe would not refuse, but he still asked Bai Minghe for his opinion respectfully.
After the fleet set off, Bai Minghe and his group sat on the slide poles prepared by the chief. Slaves alone prepared hundreds of people. In addition to the guards, Bai Minghe also had slide poles. Luzon was not small, and the first stop planned was Quezon, and then headed to the southeast Neihu Plain.
Then take a large ship to pick up from Maoban Port on the east side of the island, and then go north to circle the island.
When they returned to Manila again, all the chiefs of all sizes and big areas on the surrounding islands would come to Manila to meet the guests from the Ming Dynasty, namely General Deng and Lord Bai.
At the same time, Tianjin Wei.
Xing'an brought the 200 East Factory masters and 100 Imperial Guards. There was also a eunuch in charge of the palace. This eunuch in charge of the empress dowager's golden scrolls that Sun Yuanjun had conferred the princess for his daughter. At the level of Xing'an, the eunuch in charge could only live in a small single room.
After walking into the room he arranged for himself, Xing'an pointed at Jin Jie and scolded: "You little boy, you will enjoy it."
"If you go back to Uncle Xing, no one has ever lived in this room. This boat was originally prepared for General Deng, but General Deng doesn't like to be on the cargo ship. He has a room on the Dafu ship several times when he goes out, so he keeps it after he has finished it. This time I go north, I dare not live there, just give it to Uncle Xing."
Jin Jie walked behind Xing'an with a smile.
Xing'an walked around the room and nodded with satisfaction: "I'm very considerate. Tell me about the miscellaneous families, how much did you get from the north this time?"
"There is no silver or so, and all the goods are received and transferred to merchants in Beijing by Qian Yun. The syrup was sold at a high price, but every batch of shipments has an account. I can get a reward according to the rules when I go back. Even Brother Bai never extends his hand to the unpaid goods or silver or so, so I dare not."
"Take it seriously?" Xing Anxin said that the eunuchs in the supervision and eunuchs in various places did not reach out.
The fleet on Bai Minghe is a fat man, but who would have thought that even a celebrity like Jin Jie had never reached out.
Jin Jie nodded: "Uncle Xing, this matter is accurate. General Deng put a knife on the dock, and anyone who reaches out to chop his hand will be cut off. Rewards are indispensable when doing things well. The food on the boat can be used. But there is also an account when it is used. After returning to Guangdong, the account will be cancelled according to the rules, and the excess will be deducted from the reward."
"Have you ever deducted it?" Xing'an asked.
