Chapter 3513 Extra Story 46

When they came back, they were busy with this, and they all sorted out the things they had on hand.

Let’s not talk about Zhou Man, not only has to compile medical books and organize the new species recorded and collected into books, but also occasionally goes out to see a doctor;

Bai Erlang is even more devoted to creating his own storybook, mostly based on what he has seen and heard along the way, some of which cannot be written and must be hidden, and some are his own guesses and imaginations;

Bai Shan and Yin Ruo 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 collected in the Chongwen Museum and the Imperial Academy.

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

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

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

Before the emperor had time to ask this question, Bai Shan and the others quietly packed their bags and left after the new year.

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

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

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

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

The queen on the side corrected: "Exactly one year."

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

The queen poured tea for him and comforted him: "Mingda is a grandmother now, how can you stop him if you want? There are many sisters, and you have never seen anyone stopped by you from going out. Your Majesty still accepts it." Be tempered, otherwise those who know will say that you are worried about pampering my little sister, and those who don't know will think that you want to confine my little sister."

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

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

But the queen didn't dare to say it, she smiled and said, "Isn't it caring to follow her wishes? When she came back from overseas, I saw that she was in good spirits. With her son-in-law by her side, she felt at ease. Isn't this the best thing?" ?"

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

The emperor didn't mutter any more, and endured it, but he didn't send anyone to chase him back.

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

At first they were not familiar with Haimao, so they followed Zhou Zhoulang's suggestion and started from nearby.

But after traveling at sea for a year, they should know and experience, and they all know and experience, and it will be much easier to find a boat to go to sea.

Because of the convenience of their status.

Several people are in high positions, so it is too easy to figure out the way.

Ships going out to sea are all under the jurisdiction of the Haisi Yamen, and the Haisi Yamen is divided into north and south. Let alone the south, the Haisi Yamen in the north is mainly located in Qingzhou.

Bai Shan was not only the left prime minister, but also started from Qingzhou. He has another favor here, not to mention Zhou Man's relationship.

Over the years, there have been quite a few sea merchants rushing to Zhouman to send rare flowers, plants, insects and animals, so they quickly found a fleet willing to take them to the sea to Tianfang.

People who dare to go to such a far place in the sky and can build such a large caravan are naturally not ordinary people.

The company's surname is Lu, of course, not Fanyang's Lu family, but Bingzhou's Lu family. Speaking of which, this company has some relationship with Zhou Man.

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

This is said to be naturally according to Zhou Zhoulang.

Back then, old Zhou Tou often inquired about Zhou Yin with his firm. Zhou Zhoulang heard his three elder brothers mention it when he was a child, and he remembered it in his heart.

Later, he did overseas business here in Qingzhou, and cooperated somewhat 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 true.

But he had been in contact with Lu's steward, and Zhou Zhoulang felt that they probably knew it. Even though his uncle was only a small person back then, the big steward who bought him should have an impression. When his deeds were known all over the world , as long as the chief steward is still there, he won't be ignorant.

However, Mrs. Lu probably wasn't sure whether they knew about it, and whether they had a good attitude or a bad attitude towards this matter, so he didn't dare to say it lightly.

However, Lu's firm has given him a lot of advantages in dealing with Zhou Zhoulang in the past few years.

Naturally, Zhou Lang would not take advantage of others for nothing, otherwise he would take advantage of it here, and later Lu would probably get it back from Zhou Man and Bai Shan.

So Zhou Zhoulang will also give some convenience to Lu's firm, you are kind, I am kind, the relationship has been pretty good these years.

When introducing the merchant ships to Zhou Man and the others, he deliberately cut off Lu's ship, because Lu's is too rich, and their family's ships run far and near, especially the distance.

What he was afraid of was that they would board Lu Shi's boat and run far away. Who knew that one foot taller and one foot taller, Bai Shan directly attacked Haisi Yamen, and still found Lu Shi.

Moreover, he bypassed Zhou Zhoulang and directly negotiated with Lu about the conditions for going to sea.

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 let's forget it for now, it's too late now, if Zhou Zhoulang has the heart, they can participate in it.

Knowing the identities of Bai Shan and others, the Lu family attached great importance to this trip to sea, and directly sent their eldest son and the boat.

This trip required drifting at sea for a long period of time. Bai Shan and the other five simply pooled up a sum of money and directly chartered a ship in the other party's fleet. Except for some crew members, they brought everyone on board. , so not only live comfortably, but also more secure in terms of safety.

As a precaution, Yin or through his father added four machine crossbows to the ship, directly moving the merchant ship closer to the warship, not to mention the ordinary crossbow arrows on the ship.

Lu's eldest son came over to look around, and when he returned, he was envious, and said to his confidant: "If there are two more ships like this, we can walk sideways in the sea."

Except for natural disasters, they are not afraid of man-made disasters.

The confidant said: "Where is it easy? Not to mention the guards on the boat, even the four bows and crossbows are not what we can have."

The eldest son pondered, "If we can get them to invest in Haimao, with the connections of the Yin family and the Bai family, and the princess among them, all of these can be obtained at your fingertips."

"Over the years, there have been quite a few people who have intended to win over Zhou Lang, and many of them have bribed him with huge sums of money, but Zhou Lang never let go."

The old Zhou family is getting richer and richer day by day, but the family property is still much thinner compared to these big companies and aristocratic families. It’s not that Zhou Zhoulang has never thought of building a ship by himself, but every time he makes a move, people keep coming to him , or hand him money, or give him artisan contacts.
