Xing'an did not ask Yu Qian to ask any further. Even Bai Minghe had agreed that it would definitely not be bad.
Xing'an has learned that Baiming crane has a high vision. So Xing'an continued to ask: "The second question on behalf of Long Live, Baiming crane plans to build ships, but there is no plan for quantity. The conclusion given by shipyards in Nanjing, Fuzhou and Chaozhou is that there are countless shipbuildings. Long Live, how many uninhabited lands are there in Nanyang?"
"Not much!" Bai Minghe answered after thinking about it.
Hearing this sentence, Hu Yi also let out a sigh of relief. Hu Yi was concerned about the development of Confucianism. If there were too many borderless lands, the Ming Dynasty would definitely focus on military strategists.
But Bai Minghe added: "I calculated in detail and found that there was no master, so there was no attack from soldiers. It was really not too much. Calculated in the land area, it was barely two or three larger than the Ming Dynasty. If you use troops, there would be twice the territory of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang alone. This use of troops was not to start a war, but some places were not civilized and there were more barbarians."
"You, say it again, the land of Borderland is larger than that of the Ming Dynasty?" Hu Yi's face turned red.
Not excited, but anxious.
"Yeah, it's larger than the Ming Dynasty. As far as I know, the forest area is about 2 billion mu, the plain land that can be cultivated is also 2 billion mu, and the natural pastures are about 1.5 billion mu. Gold, silver and copper are not as high as Luzon, but coal is more than 2 million stones. The population is less than 400,000 indigenous barbarians!"
"You're serious?" Yu Qian was moved. As the Minister of War, he also hoped to expand territory for the Ming Dynasty.
"The reason I occupied Luzon is that although that place is far away, it can be reached in a transit of Luzon, which can be reached in one month or forty days. Of course, I also need an island. It is equivalent to four and a half Guangdong size, a whole land with countless resources, and less than 50,000 indigenous people."
Xing'an stood up and raised his hand to sweep the tea set on the table on the ground.
Bai Minghe immediately rushed up: "Xingdu, this is the best product of Jun kiln..." Xing'an did not react like Gu Bai Minghe. He still swept the tea sets to the ground. Bai Minghe felt distressed: "My collection!"
"Draw it!" Xing'an placed a kettle in front of the white-famous crane.
The white crane pointed to the fragments on the ground: "Jun Kiln..."
"Draw it and reward you with a set of top-notch royal products!" Xing'an pushed the kettle into Bai Minghe's hand.
Bai Minghe looked at the porcelain fragments on the ground again, shook his head helplessly, and muttered: "Why is it a thousand stone of rice when I got Siam?"
In the eyes of the white-name crane, this is rice. But in the eyes of these people, no one takes it seriously. In the porcelain level in Guangdong, this set of tea sets according to the standards set by the white-name crane for other goods. It is not even a first-class product, because it is just pure white and is a bit thinner. People in the Ming Dynasty like to have enough standards with patterns.
The white-famous crane poured it into the water and drew a map of his memory on the table.
However, the map is getting bigger and bigger, and it has been connected to Europe, but America has not appeared.
"This is the island I want, and it is called the southern grassland. If size is calculated by acre, it is 12 billion acres, which is the ultimate goal of the Ming Dynasty in the next twenty years. But there will be a place here that may make Long Live worry. It is that it is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, so far away that people are afraid of rebellion!"
It is a matter of fear of rebellion. After the Battle of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had no war of external expansion.
"Mr. Baiming He, the country of Ming Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, and those barbarian lands are poor and deserted. Is it really worth it?"
"Mr. Hu, I know what you mean. The Ming Dynasty's ancestors are actually a policy of closing the country. They stay in their own home and live a stable life. There is nothing wrong now, and you can do it later. Please listen to what the officials said."
Bai Minghe's mood recovered. He was not excited or nervous. His tone also became relaxed.
"Let me talk about Little Luzon first, Little Luzon is a desolate place. But with Little Luzon, the price of my white linen cloth in the Ming Dynasty can definitely be reduced by half. Even after the craftsmanship is improved, it can be lowered. Isn't this a benefit? Isn't it a blessing for the people?"
"It's reasonable!" Hu Yi couldn't say that the white-famous crane was wrong.
"After talking about inner self, let's talk about outer self. Since they only have one island in the nearest Wu Island, they have to go out if they want to develop. Wu Island is very weak now. Will it continue to be weak? When they become stronger, maybe it will be a threat from my Ming Dynasty. A small tree is broken with one foot, and what about the towering tree?"
"It's reasonable!" Hu Yi nodded again.
"Let's talk about it far away, can the Ottoman Empire be satisfied after it has cleaned up the Byzantine Empire? They will expand again, and soon they will take control of the Mediterranean. What should the small parliaments in the continent of Europe do if they have no sea power? Although they are not strong, they will also go out for survival."
"Be reasonable, seek change and survive!" Hu Yi not only agreed this time, but also commented.
Bai Minghe continued to preach: "Then next, they came to Nanyang, those barbarians. With the supplies of the Ming Dynasty, gold and wealth, Nanyang became their territory. Isn't it a threat to the Ming Dynasty? It's not right now, a hundred years later, five hundred years later. Do we only care about our own generation and the inheritance of our Han Chinese culture?"
Hu Yi nodded slightly, his face also became a little serious.
"Mr. Hu, my Han culture is passed down to the world. To be honest, in addition to Confucianism, I also want to pass on the world of tea, what is the country of heaven and heaven. The country of heaven and heaven is wherever there are people, so I am proud to learn about my culture of heaven. Where there are people, I must kneel at the feet of my Chinese civilization!"
There is murderous intent in Bai Minghe's tone.
Not to mention Xing'an, people like Yang Neng, even pure Confucian scholars like Xu Yi can feel it.
"Before you win, say you lose first!" Yu Qian gave Bai Minghe a cold water blow.
"I can't say it alone. There are more than tens of thousands of talented people in the Ming Dynasty. I am not afraid of laughing at you. I, Baiminghe, have made my plan until fifty years later, step by step."
"Then..." Chen Wen spoke, wanting to ask Bai Minghe's so-called future plan.
Xing'an beat a bad match: "This is also considered to be the answer from Bai Minghe, but it is not an execution. It is agreed upon by all officials to discuss politics. It is not that we can criticize it, so the miscellaneous people will ask Bai Minghe the third question next."
"May I ask!"
Xing'an brought the topic to major events in the court, and Chen Yi would no longer be curious.
"The third question is, I heard that Lord Bai had a room with an unmarried woman for one night. What does Lord Bai explain to this matter?"
"Eunuch Xing, I, Deng Hailong, think it is inappropriate for this little thing!" Deng Hailong said in his heart that this little thing that is a little bit of a fart is also worth asking here.
The officials also thought to themselves that not to mention unmarried, even if the white-name crane is caught in the widow's door, it is just a problem with the white-name crane. Even if there is something wrong, this is a place to talk about major issues, and this issue is really ridiculous.
Xing'an is very serious: "Everyone, this matter is indeed an important matter. Please ask Rong Zajia for asking."
Xing'an can only say this, which means that the woman's identity is unusual.
Bai Minghe swallowed a mouthful and began to think hard about whether he had done such a thing. There is definitely no reason Xing'an can ask questions here.
"White-name crane, when you went to Siam, on the sea, one day, Miss Huaiyu, the Yuandaomen, was in your room. How do you explain?"
"We just played chess, and we didn't spend the night. And we didn't spend the night with me." The white-named crane suddenly rose.
"I don't know that the chess and chaotic family has passed the third anniversary. Miss Huaiyu has never left the house. Although you left the house after the third anniversary, this matter has damaged the reputation of the last-match girl." Xing'an said this and slapped the table with a sudden slap: "Bai Minghe, please give the chaotic family an explanation, otherwise you can't get through today, long live there, and you can't get through there."
Bai Minghe thrust his face and thought to himself that this is nothing.
Hu Yi's heart moved, looked at Xing'an and asked, "Is it..."
Hu Yi, an old minister of the four dynasties, knew a lot of secrets. But some secrets may be buried forever, and some may be in the heart forever, but since Xing'an got angry at this time, there must be a reason.
Xing'an pulled Bai Minghe's collar and deliberately exposed the jade hanging around Bai Minghe's neck.
"Bai Minghe, give an explanation to the miscellaneous family!"
Hu Yi saw it and saw it clearly. Xing'an's move was equivalent to giving him an explanation. Hu Yi was very good at taking sides in this kind of thing, so he immediately stood up: "Bai Minghe, I also thought you were wrong. I ruined the reputation of a innocent daughter. You must make an explanation."
"This..." Bai Minghe was so choked that he couldn't even say anything.
He raised his hand and slapped himself. Bai Minghe thought, "I was just playing Go that day, and I thought so much about it." What a nonsense, but in modern times, such things really are nothing."
But it seems that it is not a big deal in the Ming Dynasty.
"Please serve the pen and ink!" Hu Yi ordered the two maids.
Xing'an was stunned for a moment, and saw Hu Yi nodding at him, looking at Xing'an's peace of mind.
The paper was placed on the table and the pen was stuffed into the hands of the white-famous crane. Hu Yi then said, "Write, write a letter to your elders. Just say that you are a bad person and you are a good man. I am the matchmaker."
"this……"
"You can't write it if you don't write it. Immediately follow the Zaijia back to the capital and come to the palace to meet you. Zaijia won't make things difficult for you. She will also write a letter to transfer you to the sixth-rank clerk of the cabinet, who is responsible for copying and copying files. This is definitely a good official position that you can get promoted and easily. As for Guangdong, you don't have to worry about it."
A bare-fruit threat.
