Farmer’s Little Girl - Chapter 3515
Chapter 3515 Fanwai 48
Zhou Man replied to Bai Shan: “It’s the pulp, you can eat it. I heard that it can be stewed with the meat. It would be nice if there was chicken.”
“I don’t have any chickens, but fish?” Yin Or pointed to the beach and said, “They caught fish.”
Zhou Man turned his head to look, eager to try, “Try it? Maybe you can stew the fish directly with the shell.”
If they wanted to eat it themselves, they even encouraged Zongzi Lu, “There are still some good ones in there, but the results are all clumps, as long as you can climb a tree, you can get a dozen or so, and Zongzi can also bring people to try it. .”
also generously gave him a portion to taste first.
Lu Zongzi thanked him, and after thinking about it, let someone pick it up.
The group rested on the island, and Bai Shan also had the intention to continue with the savages on the island, holding things to make deals with them, and was treated as a guest to lead a walk around the island. Zhou Man dug up a lot of wild vegetables and medicinal herbs. .
Of course, that was in the eyes of Lu Zongzi and others. Zhou Man was not only digging wild vegetables and medicinal materials, but there were many good things on the island. Keke was very happy, and Zhou Man was also very happy. . .
Lu Zongzi, who was going to avoid the savage, watched Bai Shan and his party go to the savage. First, he fought with the savage, almost shot him through with one arrow, and then used a few steamed buns to gather the person and directly hold the savage. The linen and cotton they brought were traded with men.
Lu Zongzi slowly let go of his heart, and couldn’t help but say to the left and right: “As expected of a prime minister, do you think my little thought can dance in front of him?”
The left and right confidants stopped talking.
In the evening, Lu Zongzi went up to find Bai Shan and talked directly.
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, and after sending Zongzi Lu away, he brought his partners, “I originally wanted to squeeze out the money to build two ships after going back. We will build our own fleet, but the ready-made ones are here, and Lu’s firm invited us to become a shareholder. ”
Yin Or, “The Lu family is neither short of money nor people, what are they looking for?”
“Picture the bow and crossbow weapons on our ship.”
Mingda: “It’s okay to have one or two ships like this. If it’s a big one, wouldn’t it be causing trouble for the court?”
Bai Shan smiled and said, “So I didn’t agree directly, but what if the royal family also joined the stake?”
Mingda was taken aback.
Bai Shandao: “Nowadays sea trade is prosperous. As long as the boat does not capsize when going to sea, very few people lose money. Your Majesty can do this business.”
Zhou Man: “Hooking on the emperor and the people to fight for profit, you are not afraid of the censor’s mouth and pen.”
Bai Shan didn’t care, “I don’t care, and the royal family is also involved in maritime trade, not to mention the princes and princesses of the previous emperor, among the princes today, whose hands are not more or less involved?”
The emperor and the empress did not personally intervene.
Mingda’s heart moved. Now several princes have grown up. Although Yingnu’s crown prince is very stable, disputes are inevitable, and sea trade is now one of the most profitable paths. It is not easy for Yingnu to interfere too much. If The emperor took over directly, but he could make the other princes restrained.
Mingda nodded, “I agree.”
Bai Er naturally listened and understood.
Yin Li has already entered office, Yin or a move in his heart, “Perhaps I can be your Majesty’s private army.”
Bai Shan nodded approvingly, “I also have the same intention, overseas… There are many good things.”
The court is not easy to take action, and it is easy to raise ambitions when it is handed over to a private person. On the contrary, it is not good for the court if the power is large. If the emperor’s private army…then there are too many things that can be done.
Zhou Man turned around and left, “I’ll take someone to pick some Xuyu, I promised Aru, they will pick the fruit for us, and I will teach them how to deal with the medicinal materials and some wounds.”
Aru was the savage they met in the past two days. They couldn’t understand each other, but they could gesture.
The body language is very mysterious, anyway, they both feel that they understand each other’s meaning.
Zhou Man decided to lay a friendly foundation for them here first, so that they could come and go often and communicate with each other in the future.
In the end, they harvested a lot of Xuyu and boarded the boat. Not to mention, when they were on the boat, they simmered fish and Xuyu pulp together, which had a unique flavor and was much better than eating fish dry.
The group has experienced wind and rain, illness, and even encountered pirates, but in the end, they reached Tianfang safely.
Tianfang, an exotic land completely different from Dajin, Zhou Man and Mingda were attracted by the blue of the sea and sky, and the bright colors in the city, Zhou Man couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, ” It’s so pretty…”
Minda nodded in agreement.
After staying in Haishan for too long, Bai Shan was a little embarrassed. He leaned against Zhou Man slightly, and also looked up at this exotic land that was different from Dajin. He smiled slightly: “Let’s go, go into the city and have a look.”
The people here very much welcome the merchant ships from the east. As soon as their fleet docked, they were surrounded by people. Even if Bai Shan and the others did not have any goods in their hands, they were still surrounded by people. Some people were waving gold beads and precious stones. To exchange satin cloth from the East with them.
Bai Shan and the others struggled to break through, but Lu Zongzi had already been drowned in the crowd.
Bai Shan and the others exhaled, looked back at Zongzi Lu sympathetically, then patted his sleeves and left.
Bai Shan and the others do not like to reveal their identities when they go out. Except for Lu Zongzi and a few stewards in the fleet, no one knows their origins, but they can also guess that they are nobles.
Mingda had no intention of acting in the name of Princess Dajin, otherwise it would be too troublesome.
Dajin is famous now, if she reveals her identity, she can get a lot of cheap and benefits, but there are also many things to give up.
Not to mention freedom. As a princess of the upper country, when you go to a country, you are not allowed to give national gifts?
So it’s better to keep your name incognito, it’s not too late to use your royal identity again if you have to.
But that’s it. After a few years, as they traveled to more and more places, and traveled between Dajin and overseas, it began to spread outside that the mysterious country in the East had royal princesses overseas. travel.
If you can catch up with this oriental princess, maybe you can use her to reach that mysterious country. I heard that there is silk and gold everywhere, everyone is very rich, and they live a life like heaven.
After the Emperor Mingda and the others returned safely from Tianfang and brought him a piece of advice on the royal family’s maritime trade, he no longer stopped them from running out.
That’s it, even Tianfang has gone, where else can he stop them from going?
The royal family participated in the sea trade, and cooperated with the Lu family to build a fleet, achieving maritime dominance, and even pirates avoided it.
Since then, even if the imperial power of the Jin Dynasty has been ups and downs on the mainland, this private army at sea has always existed, and it has directly dominated for three hundred years.
Three hundred years later, even if the Jin Dynasty is not as good as before, it is still the number one in the world, and no country can surpass it in terms of economy, culture and maritime trade.
In later generations, the five Bai Shan people were also famous in the history of navigation, especially the book about navigation in the sea written by Bai Erlang, which became an important bibliography for studying the history of navigation in Daxia.
And they were able to walk in the forefront of the world’s navigation for more than a thousand years in Daxia, and the nautical charts left by Bai Shan and Yin or played an important role.
This is an era of intense color, an era of great talents, and an era in the history of Daxia, except for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there can be many outstanding talents for more than a century.
In this era, Daxia’s culture, economy, and technology have developed rapidly, as if a **** is pushing a hand behind it, and it will not stop for a long time.
Many historians later researched and found that these fields were more or less related to the classics left by Zhou Man, Bai Shan and others.
Many manuscripts have been lost in the torrent of history and cannot be tested, but from some records left by later generations, we know that the inheritance of some skills originated from the manuscripts of Bai Shan, Zhou Man and Bai Chengyin.
As a result, the four people, including Princess Mingda, were called the most outstanding talents of that era, and they had a wealth of knowledge that many people could not match.
