"These two were originally from different backgrounds, but now they are second-level intelligence officers of the East Factory. Of course, it hasn't officially started yet, and it's still in training. Next, my words are top secret, not only in Guangdong, but also in the entire Ming Dynasty. Ladies and gentlemen, please remember not to pass it on, and don't ask me again in the future. ”

As soon as Bai Minghe's words came out, Yang Neng was stunned for a moment.

Top secret, is there still top secret? How many other means and plans are there for the white crane?

Yu Qian nodded, he came to Guangdong just to listen to Bai Minghe tell the truth, and by the way, to warn Bai Minghe to be more restrained.

"Yu Gong knows the situation on the street in front of my door."

Yu Qian shook his head, and Bai Minghe was about to speak, but was picked up by Jieji: "It's still the official." The official has been studying this street for half a month. The total length of this street is 3,600 steps, and this length was set when the street was built. On the street, in addition to the headquarters of the ten major merchant gangs, there are 486 facades of large and small merchants. ”

Listening to the revelation, Yu Qian was listening very seriously.

"On this street, there has been a shipment in the past half a month. Because these shops do not sell goods, all the goods are just samples for other businesses to see, and then they are transferred directly from the warehouse after being agreed. According to the statistics of the commercial tax for half a month on this street, it is a total of 548,000 taels. With the miscellaneous taxes, it is four times that amount, which is two million hundred and ninety-two thousand taels. The total transaction volume is more than ten million taels of silver, which is nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and eighty taels of silver. ”

...... hiss, Yu Qian gasped.

It's not that Jieji, as a political envoy in Guangdong, understands government affairs, but that this street is so terrible. According to this calculation, it is a transaction volume of more than 100 million taels of silver in a year.

Jieji also said: "The biggest deal is the contract between the five firms of the Fujian Gang and the forty-seven firms of the Qin Gang. From September this year to next year, the Fujian merchant gang will provide the Qin gang with 13 million taels worth of linen yarn. The first supply was 800,000 taels of yarn. The price of a load of yarn is less than one tael of silver, and 800,000 taels is 800,000 taels of yarn. ”

Yu Qian is a scholar of the military department, but he is not a person who does not understand water and rice.

The price of cotton cloth in the capital at the moment. It's about three dollars and five cents, and Jiangnan is about two dollars and five cents. The finest linen cloth is seventy percent of the price of cotton cloth, that is, a horse costs three dollars of silver in the capital.

A horse of linen was heavier than silk, and a load of about seventeen to twenty horses.

After calculating this output, Yu Qianke was really taken aback. He asked, "So, what is the price of fine linen now?" ”

"In Fujian and Guangdong, a fine linen cloth is about one penny of silver, which is good, and a tael of silver can buy fifteen horses." Reveal the explanation to Yu Qian.

Bai Minghe spoke at this time: "Two adults, I digress." Let me first explain that this street will one day be opened up to foreign maritime trade, allowing people to trade freely overseas. At that time, overseas merchants will also come. About five years later, the taxes on such a street will exceed the Ming treasury by several times. ”

Seems reasonable.

Chunhui Garden has become a place where exhibitions can be arranged, as a place to display new products and discuss with various merchants. No matter how bold I am, I don't dare to take possession of a garden, but only borrow it temporarily. Living here is also to allow the street to develop within two years. ”

"Good. You've got a point! "Yu Qian can't say that Bai Minghe is at fault. Then he said, "The white crane, you explain." What is your reputation in Guangdong? Yu Qian didn't use the self-title of his own official, and his tone was much calmer, completely with the attitude of an elder.

In fact, Bai Minghe is also willing to let Yu Qian be his elder.

Hearing this tone, several adults also listened silently, and they all thought that this opportunity was rare. At least they can't squeeze much truth out of the white crane's mouth.

"Lord Yu, do you think a cunning merchant would trust a beggar? Or ......" Before Bai Minghe finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Xing'an also walked in in civilian clothes.

Xing'an's identity is special, and Yu Qian was stunned the moment he saw Xing'an.

Yu Qian didn't know that Xing'an had secretly gone south. He didn't know that it was the people from Dongchang who went south with him and Hu Hui.

Xing'an got a secret decree, only one sentence, for the sake of little Luzon Xing'an can act cheaply in supporting the white crane. If Fang Shu is a loyal servant, Xing'an's loyalty to Banzai is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Walking into the house, Xing'an first gave a salute: "Ladies and gentlemen, although the miscellaneous family has a low official position, they are not allowed to come and disturb it. ”

Jokes!

Yu Qian didn't dare to say that Xing'an's official position was low, of course, the official position was only four grades, but his power was no less than his Shangshu. After a few polite words, Xing'an also had a seat of his own.

Bai Minghe was about to continue, but Xing'an motioned for Bai Minghe to stop for a moment, and then said: "Regarding the three points that Yu Shangshu accused Bai Minghe, it is better for the miscellaneous family to explain it, and the miscellaneous family was ordered to come to Guangdong by long live." Not for oversight, but for auxiliary. ”

"Since you ......, then Xingdu, please speak!" Since Yu Qian was blank after this, he was not used to finding a reason casually. But he couldn't stop Xing'an from speaking, so since he was there, he just paused but didn't speak.

Regarding the first three articles, the explanation of the miscellaneous family is. The white crane is a prince and a noble, and there is also a prince and a princess living in this garden, not to mention that the white crane is borrowing the contract of living here is public and not private. The white crane has a knighthood, which the white crane himself does not know, and he cannot be given it at the moment, but it is reasonable, derived from the edict of Chengzu, there are case files to check, and there are also edicts that can be checked. ”

Yu Qian stared at Xing'an, he didn't doubt Xing'an's words.

Because Hung Yen doesn't lie about this kind of thing, 100% not.

"The white crane has three secret decrees, and these three long live are only dictated to the white crane, and the secret decree is still in the hands of the miscellaneous family, and the white crane has not yet been seen, because there is no opportunity to use one of these secret decrees. The miscellaneous family only said one word, long live Luzon, but also to Wajima! ”

At this time, not only Yu Qian, but also the white-named crane were taken aback.

Ke Xing'an's words were not finished: "The last thing the miscellaneous family wants to say is that Yu Shaobao came here, and the real intention of Long Live is to let Yu Shaobao take care of Bai Minghe, a young and inexperienced young man." Of course, some rude and outrageous things made by the white cranes are taught. ”

"Hooray?" Yu Qian asked rhetorically.

Xing'an shook his head: "Long live the handwriting!" ”

The handwriting of the Ming Emperor can be understood as a holy decree. It can also be understood as a letter, mainly depending on how things are.

The holy decree of the Ming Dynasty, the holy decree in the real sense is not a piece of paper, there will be a record of the cabinet, the signature of the elder, and the seals of relevant officials at all levels of the six ministries. It is a detailed official document with a fixed format.

It's not as simple as a reel, as it was on TV in later generations.

When Yu Qian was secretly surprised, Xing'an said again: "The miscellaneous family thinks that the white crane also has three mistakes, and the white crane also needs to explain one or two, it just so happens that all the adults are here, listen to the white crane explanation and give a comment." ”

Bai Minghe took a deep breath and stood up, taking two steps back: "Ask." ”

Xing'an smiled slightly, he could feel that Bai Minghe probably guessed what he was going to ask.

"The first question, Chunhui Park South. There is a merchant's private garden that you have borrowed, and who lives there? Who is Angela? What you want, what do you plan. As the governor of Daming East Factory, Dai Wansui asked what impact this matter had on Daming. ”

Bai Minghe bit his lip, how much can he say about this plan.

Yu Qian slapped the table: "Bai Minghe, don't move your careful thoughts, only answer truthfully." This is a long live question. ”

"Angela's full name: Oliviale Valerius - Aurelius - Palaiologos - Constantine. Her identity can be understood as the only princess of the Byzantine Empire. It can also be understood as the last empress. Her kingdom has not yet been destroyed, but it is only a matter of time, the Ottoman Empire army has already surrounded the royal city, the absolute superiority of the army, and the grain and grass! ”

Yu Qian slapped the table hard and stood up. Hu Hu grabbed Yu Qian and shook his head gently.

Yu Qian's character, not being angry is fake.

Because of such a big matter, Bai Minghe did not have a single official document to report, and if he changed people, it would not be an exaggeration to be raided and exterminated.

"She brought out the best scholars and craftsmen of the Byzantine Empire. Among them, the Byzantine Empire had the most advantageous technology. First, 600 years ago, the book "Strategy" written by a great emperor is different from our Sun Tzu's Art of War, and has great complementary advantages. The second is that they can make a kind of ash as strong as a stone when they add water to it. The third is that they already have rudimentary petroleum technology, and they use it militarily. Fourthly, they already have rudimentary plate armor technology. Fifthly, their shipbuilding skills are different from ours, they can sail the sea and resist wind and waves. Sixth, Byzantium inaugurated the first military academy in the true sense of the word. Seventh ......"

When it came to the seventh, the white crane stopped.

The top six alone are touching enough, enough to prove the ambition of the white crane and the vision of the white crane.

"Long live said, no matter what you say, you will be not guilty, even if it is wrong, as long as you are obedient and do not go wrong, it is not a sin." Xing'an would love to hear what the white crane said about the seventh.

"Seventh, I left the Ming a pretext for going to war against the Ottoman Empire in the future, the battle of Byzantium!"

After Bai Minghe said this, the tension in his heart disappeared, and it turned to a kind of relief.

"Then how do you know about "Strategy", is it really excellent. Or what you call plate armor? Yu Qian's tone slowed down a lot, and he had a reason to protect the white crane for these two items alone.

"Strategy, which includes combat training, tactical implementation, administration, logistics, and discusses the main military issues encountered in dealing with the various enemies of the Byzantine Empire. It is a very professional, systematic kind of military theory textbook, if I want to comment, the officers of more than 100 households in the Ming Dynasty are proficient in this study, and sweep the grassland! ”

"Show me the officer?" Yu Qian wanted something right now.

"There is only the Greek content of the Bible, and it will take a process to turn it into Chinese. Its huge workload requires at least ten professionals and a year to translate and organize. ”

Yu Qian's face softened a lot, the white crane was very evil, but he was truly loyal to Daming. (To be continued......)
