The white crane closed the door for three days, and the people who could enter Chunhui Garden could be counted on one hand, and it was nothing more than a few people.

Three days later, after a full-scale, but small-scale canonization ceremony in the backyard, Sun Yuanjun was the real princess, enjoying the treatment of the royal family, that is, Zhu Jianshen kowtowed to Sun Yuanjun three times and called the imperial aunt.

In the past few days, Bai Minghe has a strange feeling.

This feeling comes from Huaiyu, and Bai Minghe feels that Huaiyu and Xing'an seem to have known each other for a long time, and they have a good relationship. What made Bai Minghe even more shocked was that Xing'an still had a faint sense of respect for Huaiyu, could it be that this Huaiyu's life experience was not ordinary?

Thinking about it, Bai Minghe didn't dare to ask Xing'an, and secondly, he didn't dare to ask Huaiyu.

This internal injury!

It wasn't until the fourth day that the white crane opened its doors to welcome customers. The reason given is very nonsensical, I am tired of going to sea, and I need to rest for a few days when I come back, as for the matter of Xing'an arriving in Guangzhou, Bai Minghe has not really announced it.

explained the reason to Sun Yuanjun, but it was not too deep, and it could only be said that he appeased Sun Yuanjun.

After that, the white crane came to his study, and the porter had already carried several large baskets of prayer stickers in front of the white crane. According to the rules, it was natural to put the first greeting post sent to the concierge in front of the white crane.

"Young master, no matter the wind or rain, the other party has been waiting in front of the mansion for fifteen days and nights. It wasn't until the small door of the concierge was officially opened that the prayer note was handed over. Bai Hong whispered beside him.

The signature on the first prayer note that Shirana Crane picked up.

"Cantonese merchants?" Shirana Crane read the name on it.

After reading the meaning written on the worship post, this is the Guangdong merchant gang hoping that Bai Minghe can give a chance, and set up a banquet in the hope that Bai Minghe can appreciate his face, even if he lets the Guangdong merchant gang work for three years, as long as it can support hundreds of large and small businesses in the merchant gang, together with the livelihood of tens of thousands of small slaves and long-term workers.

Face-seeking? Or refuse.

The white crane has no mortal enmity with the Guangdong merchant gang. But it is related to the livelihood of many people, and it is not about forcing people to ruin their families.

But this Guangdong merchant gang made Bai Minghe not feel at ease, and they did it in the first place.

After thinking about it, Bai Minghe still planned to go to Xing'an to discuss.

Who would have thought, Bai Minghe didn't go to Xing'an before he went to find it, and as soon as he entered the house. waved his hand to signal Bai Hong to go down first. After watching Bai Hong close the door of the study, Xing'an said straightforwardly: "Bai Minghe, your steel mill will try the first furnace of steel in ten days, and the miscellaneous family will go to see it in person." ”

"Why don't you go and see the second furnace?" Bai Minghe didn't want Xing'an to watch it for the first time.

After all, many theories have to be turned into practice, and they have to go through many tests, and they will be made of steel only once, and Bai Minghe is not sure. In case Xing'an gives those people excess pressure, I am afraid that it will affect the steel mill in the future.

Xing'an said: "The miscellaneous family can pretend to be your master, or any kind of name. Your attitude towards the old beggar. Miscellaneous just wants to see how high your vision really is. Even if they fail, the miscellaneous family will not pursue it, and there will always be something different about the first furnace. ”

"Let's start with the moment."

Xing'an didn't expect Bai Minghe to change the topic, so he had to let Bai Minghe say it first. "You say!"

"The Guangdong merchant gang wants to hold a banquet for me, and Uncle Xing is afraid that he doesn't know something. At the beginning, the Fujian merchant gang and the out-of-town gang in Guangdong knelt in front of my house and begged for an attitude. But they only plan to have a feast! ”

Bai Minghe said, pushing the worship post in front of Xing'an.

Xing'an just swept it quickly, and immediately said, "This is to kill you." They know that you care about the lives of the people. And you also said before that these merchant gangs in Guangzhou City are in the same league as those who plot rebellion. Therefore there is no good feast in this feast. You will be killed. ”

"Then I won't go!" The white crane didn't want to take any chances.

"No, you have to go. They want to harm you, it is nothing more than ambush, poisoning, arson and other means by masters. As long as the evidence is caught, all the names of the entire Guangdong merchant gang can be copied in a straightforward manner, and more than half of the officials in Guangzhou City can be held accountable. ”

The white crane didn't expect it. It's going to be so wide-ranging.

After hesitating, he asked: "Unless it is directly convicted of treason, there is no evidence, which will cause the rest of the officials to mutiny." ”

"No, as long as they do it. You are now a colt, and you are a prince yourself. In addition, he served as the governor of the miscellaneous East Factory. It is enough to dare to have a disloyal mind. So, to go. "Hung Yen is resolute.

Bai Minghe was taken aback, he didn't expect Xing'an to take an adventure.

Seeing that Bai Minghe's reaction was strange, Xing'an said again: "This is not an adventure, but there is full certainty." When it comes to poisoning, Dongchang Pharmacy is most famous for not saving people, but poisoning. There are people sent out in secret, and whether they are ambushing or setting fires, they will not be able to hurt you and me. ”

"Then go!"

Bai Ming Hexin said that Xing'an is not afraid, and it is stingy if he is not afraid anymore.

The Guangdong civil official group was originally a dead knot, and it is different from Fujian because it is under its own control. If there is any mutiny on the part of the civilian clique, it will trigger a chain reaction above the court in the capital, which will be extremely detrimental to what they want to do in Guangdong.

It may be that even today's long live will be affected.

"The steel mill?" Xing'an is asking Bai Minghe again.

"Well, keep looking. However, the distance is not close, it is estimated that it will take two or three days to travel from here to Lingshan County, and it is really not interesting to just take a look at their experimental test furnace. Although Bai Minghe agreed, he still didn't want Xing'an to come over and see it.

Xing'an shook his head: "You don't know, what does stainless steel mean to Daming?" ”

"If I didn't know, I wouldn't have begged for a craftsman." How could Bai Minghe not know, on the other hand, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can understand the importance of steel to the industrial system better than Bai Minghe.

Xing'an thought about it, but he didn't come here just for a rebellious case, he wanted to represent the Ming Emperor to see what Bai Minghe had done in Guangdong and how much impact it had on the entire Ming Dynasty. But now that Bai Minghe has agreed to go to see the test furnace, there is no need to fight over words.

On the other hand, the Guangdong merchant gang soon received a reply from Bai Minghe.

It was very clear to them that they were willing to go to the banquet for the sake of tens of thousands of people who relied on the Guangdong merchant gang to live. And the date should be in the afternoon of the same day, and the letter made it clear that the banquet did not need to be too large, only sincerity.

Participating in the banquet, Bai Minghe only brought two people, one was Fan Liang and the other was Bai Hong. However, Xing'an secretly mobilized hundreds of people, and there was a person who was wearing servant clothes like Bai Hong, this was a master of poisoning in Dongchang, and he didn't believe that anyone else could be poisoned calmly in Xing'an.

The old gang leader of the Cantonese merchant gang sat on top of the main hall, and a young woman beside him held a tray. There are two fruits on the plate.

These two fruits, if the white crane sees it, he must know it.

One is called amla fruit, which is produced locally in Guangdong. Historically, it is the current student of Bai Minghe, Zhu Jianshen's grandson Zhu Houzhao, who ate this fruit when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and named this fruit as Emperor Gan. As a famous fruit in Guangdong, since it is a banquet, it must be put on something distinctive.

And another fruit, but it was liked by the white crane in later generations. But not like to eat, but like its juice.

This fruit is produced in Guangxi in the current era and is called prickly pear.

"Once you've arranged the kitchen, let's go. Grandpa prepared a boat for you, and you first fled to Fujian, and then went to sea from Fujian. There should be a place on that island, and grandpa has followed him for fifty years, and now is the time to be loyal. "The old gang leader's surname is Fang, and his real name is Fang.

The simplest name is Fangshu.

His granddaughter's name is Fang Qin. But they have never used their natal names, and their names have always been Chang.

The young girl spoke: "Grandpa thinks, do you have a chance to live?" Although it is said that the white crane is our great enemy, as far as Qin'er knows, he has not tortured his mother so far. And there are also commendable things about being a person, I fell into his hands, maybe I could die happily, if it fell into the hands of Dongchang or Jinyiwei, I am afraid that it will be difficult to die. ”

Fang Qin's words are telling the old gang leader Fang Shu.

A girl fell into the hands of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it is not easy to die, how terrible it will be to live rather than die.

Fang Shu hesitated a little, because he knew that what his granddaughter said was not wrong in the slightest. It may be more terrifying than imagined, and then Fang Qin said: "Although the white crane has a very bad reputation, he is a person who stands up to the heavens and the earth. The granddaughter admires it very much, but unfortunately if he doesn't die, there is no way to save the housemother. Killing such a person is in itself immoral. The granddaughter used her life to die with him, but she killed multiple birds with one stone. ”

Fang Shu shook his head and sighed heavily.

Fang Qin said again: "Bai Minghe won't doubt me, so it's easier for us to succeed." I am not alone with him on the Huangquan Road, and I just apologized to him. Grandpa, Qin'er can never die, and she is not willing to escape from Daming, and it is much better to die than to show your hometown, not to mention that she may not be able to escape. The only thing is that as soon as Bai Minghe died, Guangzhou City was in chaos. It was possible for my brother to lead someone to rescue the housemother, and all the way to the west, naturally there was a way to live. ”

"Go get ready!" Fang Shu did not say that he was against it, but he did not support it.

Fang Qin bowed and went down, gritted his silver teeth, and silently made a decision.

And at this time, Bai Minghe was only two streets away from Fang Mansion, and the person who reported the news had already rushed back, Fang Shu clenched his fist hard, took a deep breath, and strode out of the door.

As a white-named crane, people with some identities in the Fang Mansion had to go outside the door to greet them. And the middle door should be wide open, and the drummers should prepare. There was also a carpet on the floor, and even maids holding incense burners on both sides of the carpet. Fang Shu definitely wanted Bai Minghe to believe in his sincerity. (To be continued......)
