Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 3513 Fanwai 46

   They are busy with this when they come back, and they all sort out what they have on hand.

   Zhou Man will not talk about it. He not only has to compose medical books and organize the new species recorded in the records into a book, but also occasionally goes out to see a doctor for treatment;

   Bai Erlang is even more devoted to creating his own words, mostly based on his experiences along the way, some of which cannot be written and must be hidden, while others are his own speculations and imaginations;

  Bai Shan and Yin may have been very interested in maps and various minerals recently, and they are also compiling information and atlases along the way.

   It’s just that these knowledge and pictures cannot be widely advertised, they can only be handed over to the emperor and stored in the Chongwen Pavilion and the Hanlin Academy.

  The emperor was very interested in this, "I didn't expect that there are so many species on scattered islands outside the Great Jin Dynasty. It's really unheard of and unseen."

  Bai Shan also said: "It can be seen that the universe is vast, and my knowledge is still limited."

  The emperor nodded, and he also had some expectations for the overseas world. I wonder when he can go out and see it?

  The emperor hadn't had time to ask this question, and after the New Year, Bai Shan and the others quietly packed up and left.

When the    emperor heard about it, they had already left Yongzhou and were halfway to Qingzhou.

  Emperor: "...Didn't you mean to go to Yongzhou to escape the summer?"

   The guards who went back and forth knelt on the ground and dared not speak. . .

  The emperor was very angry, "It's only been less than a year since I returned to Beijing..."

The queen beside    corrected: "Exactly one year."

  The emperor slapped the table, "Is it very long?"

The queen poured tea for him and reassured him: "Mingda is already a grandmother, how can you stop it if you want? There are so many sisters, and I have never seen you stop anyone from going out. Your Majesty still accepts it. Have some temper, or those who know you will say that you are worried about pampering the little sister, and those who don't know will think that you are going to imprison the little sister."

  The emperor rubbed his forehead and said, "The thing that the royal father can't let go of is Mingda. He has repeatedly told me to take good care of her. She has been in bad health since she was a child. How can I not worry?"

  The queen slandered: The late emperor was most worried about King Gong, and he also told you to treat King Gong well. I haven't seen you caring about him in all these years.

But the queen didn't dare to say it, she smiled and said, "Isn't it also a concern to follow her heart? When she came back from overseas, I saw that she was in good spirits. She was accompanied by her consort, and she felt at ease. Isn't this the best thing to do? ?"

   added: "What's more, there is Zhou Man, the concubine feels that being by her side is the safest."

  The emperor stopped murmuring, he endured it, and in the end he didn't send anyone to chase him back.

   Bai Shan and the others found a boat to go to Tianfang by themselves.

   They were unfamiliar with sea trade at first, so they followed Shirou's advice and started nearby.

   But they have been at sea for a year, they should know and understand, they all know and understand, and it will be much easier to find a boat to go out to sea.

   because of the convenience of their status.

   Several people are in high positions, and it is too easy to find out the doorway.

  The ships that go out to sea are all under the jurisdiction of the Haisi Yamen, and the Haisi Yamen is divided into north and south, not to mention the southern ones, and the northern Haisi Yamen is mainly located in Qingzhou.

  Bai Shan was not only a former prime minister, but also started from Qingzhou. He has another relationship here, not to mention a relationship with Zhou Man.

   There are many merchants who have been rushing to send rare flowers, plants, insects and beasts to Zhou Man these years, so they soon found a fleet that was willing to take them to sea to heaven.

  The people who dare to go so far in the sky and can form such a large caravan are naturally not ordinary people.

   The surname of the firm is Lu, of course, it is not Fanyang Lu, but Bingzhou Lu. Speaking of which, this firm has some relationship with Zhou Man.

   It is said that the person who bought Zhou Yin and gave the old Zhou family a bag of grain was the chief steward of their family.

   This is said to be according to Shirou.

   When the old Zhou Tou often asked about Zhou Yin’s news from the company, when Chuu Lang was a child, he heard about it from his three older brothers, and he remembered it in his heart.

   Later, he did overseas business in Qingzhou, and cooperated with companies from all over the world. When he saw Lu's company, he remembered it in his heart.

   But he didn't ask, the other party didn't tell, and no one knew if it was.

But he has been in contact with Lu's steward, and Thursday Lang has a feeling, and they probably know it. Even if his uncle was only a small person back then, the major steward who bought him should have an impression. When his deeds were heard all over the world , as long as the big steward is still there, he won't be ignorant.

   But the Lu family should also be unsure whether they know it or not, and whether they have a good attitude or bad attitude towards this matter, so they don't dare to say it easily.

   However, in the past few years, he has been dealing with Shirou Lang, and the Lu's firm has given him a lot of benefits.

  Thursday Lang will not take advantage of others in vain, otherwise he will take it here, and the Lu family is afraid that he will get it back from Zhou Man and Bai Shan.

   Therefore, Shizuo Lang will also provide some conveniences to Lu's firm. You are kind, I am kind, and the relationship has been good over the years.

   When introducing the merchant ships to Zhou Man and the others, he deliberately pinched off Lu Shi's boat, because Lu Shi was too rich, and their family's boats ran far and near, and the distance was the most important.

   What he was afraid of was that they would take Lu Shi's boat and run far away. Who knew that the height of one foot would be a zhang, so Bai Shan started directly from Haisi Yamen and still found Lu Shi.

   And he also negotiated with Lu Shi directly about the conditions for going to sea, bypassing Shiroulang.

   In fact, if it weren't for the huge cost of shipbuilding, Bai Shan and the others would have wanted to form a caravan.

   But forget it for the time being, it's too late now, if Shirou has the heart, they can get a share.

  Because they knew the identities of Bai Shan and others, the Lu family valued this trip to sea very much, so they directly sent their Zongzi to accompany the boat.

This trip required a long period of wandering at sea. Bai Shan and the other five simply put together a sum of money and directly contracted a ship in the other party's fleet. Except for some crew members, they brought everyone else on board. , so that not only live comfortably, but also more secure.

   As a precaution, Yin He also added four machine crossbows to the ship through his father, and directly brought the merchant ship closer to the warship, not to mention the ordinary bows and arrows carried on the ship.

  The Lu clan's sect son came to see it, and after returning, he was envious, and said to his confidant: "With two more ships like this, we can go sideways in the sea."

  In addition to natural disasters, they are not afraid of man-made disasters.

   Confidant said: "Where is it easy? Not to mention the guards on the ship, the four bows and crossbows are not something I can have."

  Zongzi pondered, "If you can get them to take a stake in Haimao, with the connections of the Yin family and the Bai family, and the princess among them, these are all at your fingertips."

   "There are a lot of people who have been interested in attracting Shizuo Lang over the years, and many of them have paid a lot of money for bribes, but Shizuo Lang has never let go."

The old Zhou family is getting richer and richer every day, but the family background is still much thinner than those of these big companies and aristocratic families. It is not that Zhou Lang has never thought of building a ship by himself and going to sea, but every time he has a move, people are constantly looking for them. Come, or give him money, or give him a network of craftsmen.
