Bai Minghe left Beijing, and as soon as he left home, he received a letter of appointment from the ministry. The Hepu County Order of the White Crane was returned to Chengkai, and then the White Crane became the head of the Lianzhou Mansion from the sixth grade, in charge of money and grain taxes.

I was promoted, but I didn't feel anything.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials didn't think that Bai Minghe would feel anything, Zheng Qi Pin and Cong Sixth Pin, in the eyes of the hundred officials in the capital, there was no difference between Bai Ming Crane. The notoriety of the white crane in the capital now, at least one from the top four grades, so no matter what the four grades are, there is no difference between the white cranes.

Go to Tianjin Wei and get on the boat.

Twelve days later, the fleet returned to the South China Sea and entered the Guanghaiwei dock in Guangdong.

Yang Neng came to greet him in person, and in addition to the officials from the Yamen of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, there was also a civil official wearing a second-grade official uniform. This is a hundred accidents for the white crane.

"Bai Minghe, this is the political envoy of Guangdong Zuobu, revealing the joke, revealing the adult!" Yang Nengyi introduced that Bai Minghe was a little unable to react at that time, isn't this the biggest one among the civil officials in Guangdong, Guangdong has no longer set up a governor since the Yongle New Year. Even if there is a governor, it is temporary, and the governor will leave after finishing the matter of money and grain.

This is the biggest official in Guangdong.

Bai Minghe was a little stunned, but he stood there without salutation.

Jieji obviously already knows what kind of person Bai Minghe is, not to mention that he is a political envoy, even if the official is in some places, there is no way to take Bai Minghe, his teachers have conceded three points to Bai Minghe, not to mention him.

"My teacher is the Duke of Dongyuan."

As soon as Dongyuan Gong was mentioned, the white-named crane immediately knew who it was. Above the court, the unexpected votes at the time of voting should be around ten to thirteen, one of which surprised Xing'an and Bai Minghe the most was the vote of He Wenyuan, the left attendant of the ministry, and this key vote allowed Xu Gui to be the governor of the Hetao in the plan. Became the governor of Datong.

The people of the Ming Dynasty respect the teacher, and the revelation is a second-grade official. Although it is said that Jingguan is one level older than the same grade, He Wenyuan is now the third grade, which is lower than his own students.

However, the Ming Dynasty has six parts. The squire was nominally Shang Shu's subordinate, but he was also the main hall official. Directly responsible to the emperor, has the right to perform official duties.

He Wenyuan is a good official, and when he was young, he was known as the iron-faced imperial history.

This vote, in addition to the parties, the biggest beneficiary may be Xu Wenyuan. Because he did not favor any faction, the emperor intended to let him enter the Ministry of Officials, and add the crown prince Shaobao. This has become a top-level official, and there are few people in Daming who add the prince to the crown prince now.

Thinking of this, Bai Minghe smiled: "Lord Jie." You smack me up. I give two benefits! ”

Yang Neng's face is dark, this Zuobu political envoy even has to give him three points of face, your white name is not crazy, if you make a stiff situation, it is not easy for you to think about the garden.

The white crane is very accurate, judging from the self-introduction of the revelation, this person is a good person and belongs to the category of gentlemen.

It is often said that it is better to offend a gentleman. Don't offend the villain.

Therefore, Bai Minghe is not afraid of revealing the truth, but let the revelation show his sincerity.

"There's a garden. Originally, it was also the property of the Chen family in Shunde, the main garden covers an area of about 40 acres, plus the main house and warehouse, etc., about 60 acres. In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the children of the Chen family were actually Fujian pirates and attacked Haiyang County, Chaozhou. There were many casualties in the county. According to the law of Da Ming, copy the house! ”

The white crane was really a little surprised.

This is a second-class official. Although it is said that the official system of the Ming Dynasty, his own seven products are also directly appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and if he wants to remove his own officials, he is also exempted from the Ministry of Officials. Guangdong can't do anything about itself. But after all, this is the top boss from the second grade, his top boss.

I thought about many kinds of answers.

For example, he also responded half-jokingly. Or maybe it's an empty word, or maybe it's a fire on the spot. Or reason with yourself, or leave on the spot without saying a word.

But I really want to give myself a gift, which is a bit scary.

Yang Neng smiled, he understood what was going on. In a word, if you come to find a white crane, you are poor. Not only is he poor, but the Guangdong officials can't afford to raise mice, and right now, the officials owe all their money, not to mention those ordinary officials, so he has to see Bai Minghe.

No one dared to touch the silver of the white-named crane. Whoever moves and who dies, even if you don't know that the white crane is behind the Ming Emperor.

Who dares to touch the silver forbidden by the sea. This is a great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family.

"The garden is good, when the house was raided, it was the old man's personal soldiers, and not a single grass or tree in the garden was destroyed. Originally, I thought that it would be cheaper, but I didn't expect it to be you. Yang Neng jokingly said to Bai Minghe for a long time, and then patted Bai Minghe on the shoulder, but secretly whispered: "It has nothing to do with Guangdong officialdom!" ”

Bai Minghe immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Then, please go to my house and sit down!" It's that garden. ”

Jieji and Yang Neng glanced at each other, and they were a little surprised. The white crane really has a good appetite, and he really dares to take it in such a big garden.

Guanghaiwei is at the current location of Duya Island in Huangmaohai, and from here it will be changed to an inland sea official ship. Out of the sea, along the seashore around into Guangzhou Bay, and then in the north of what is now Zhuhai, along the Hongqili waterway upstream, from the big waterway to the small waterway, you can always go along the waterway. When I got off the boat, it was only a few hundred steps on foot.

Just one glance at the garden, and the surrounding waterways. After taking a look at the map sent by a small official, Bai Minghe blurted out: "Chunhui Garden!" ”

That's right, this is the predecessor of Chunhui Garden. The real Chunhui Garden was built in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was also rebuilt on the original basis. The garden is larger than what has survived in the present life, and it is possible to go directly to the sea by boat by water.

"What does Chunhui mean?" It's not that he doesn't understand these two words, he just wants to know the meaning of the name White-named Crane.

Only then did Bai Minghe react, there was no such garden at this time, and now this garden did not have as many famous pavilions and pavilions as in later generations, and it was just a Lingnan-style garden at the moment.

Listening to the question, Bai Minghe thought of the explanation he heard when he traveled in later generations: "It means the sunshine that shines warmly, and the kindness of parents." Since this garden belongs to me, then this is my home in Guangzhou in the future. ”

"Good!" Jieji praised it.

In Daming, filial piety is the first good.

It's always been taken care of, and it's been managed pretty well.

When I entered the study, Bai Minghe asked someone to bring a brocade box: "This is a gift from Dongyuan Gong to me when I left Beijing." Lord Yu said, let me go back to Guangdong and open it again, it just so happens that Lord Jiejie is here, just open it at this time. ”

The scroll was slowly unfolded, and there were only six large characters on it.

At the beginning of man, nature is good!

What does this mean, Bai Minghe knows that these are the first two sentences of the three-character scripture, but what does it mean to write this sentence.

Jieji understood, he knew that the teacher meant to let Bai Minghe keep his heart, not to be confused by external objects, and change the attachment in his heart. Jieji won't explain, since it's for the white crane, let the white crane understand it himself. Yang Neng didn't understand, but he quietly explained a few words.

Yang Neng nodded: "Well, this pair of characters is well written." ”

"Okay, it's time for me to return the favor." The white crane said and sat down on the chair at the bottom. Although the tone is a little arrogant, in front of these two elders and people with extremely high official positions, if Bai Minghe is arrogant in his behavior, he will definitely be despised.

"Guangdong is poor because there is not much real estate. The days of eating by pointing to the sky are naturally bitter. Guangdong is okay, life is quite passable, and I can barely have a full meal. The weather here in Guangdong is not cold, and the winter is not very sad. If it is placed in the north, I am afraid that many people will die every year. ”

Bai Minghe opened his mouth to speak, and nodded silently. It's just a little unexpected, but I didn't expect Bai Minghe to know a lot about Guangdong. Bai Minghe continued: "Besides, Qiongdao is the real poor! ”

Jieji didn't answer, Qiongdao is so poor that Cheng dù can't be directly described in words. Hepu is poor, Qinzhou is poor, and Lianzhou is not rich. But the annual tax payment of Lianzhou Mansion is almost as much as that of Qiongdao, and such a large Qiongdao cannot even collect 10,000 taels of silver in taxes every year.

No one wants to go to Qiongdao to be an official, let alone oil and water, it's good if they don't starve to death.

Therefore, what I want to talk about is not Guangdong, but Qiongdao.

"Lord Jie, actually, I've heard about it. You don't have a good relationship with the political envoy of Youbu, although you are all northerners, but he belongs to the local forces here in Guangdong, his master, his concubine, and his private business name are all here in Guangdong. Even if he is not from Guangdong, he has been assimilated by the people here. ”

Guangdong is a very special province, especially in some poor small counties, most of the officials are officials on behalf of officials, from officials to officials, but they have not left Guangdong, which is not consistent with the Ming Dynasty's policy of reversing the three places, but who makes this remote, special circumstances special treatment.

The political envoys on the left and right are originally the wrong people. Bai Minghe said that the relationship between the two political envoys is not good, there is no need to guess this, and Daming has no good relationship. Jieji didn't speak, he was thinking about how to answer the white crane.

Bai Minghe smiled: "Lord Jie, how about giving me 100,000 jobs?" ”

"One hundred thousand workers, what do you mean?" I didn't react for a while. I didn't even know it was those three words.

Bai Minghe explained: "I want 100,000 people to work, and at the moment, even if all the military households of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division Yamen are given to me, there is not enough manpower." Right now, the number of people I need to work in the next year is about 500,000. But the fields still have to be planted, and I am not a cool official, and I dare not forcibly draw ding, so as long as I use rice as a change worker, I will give at least three stone rice per person per month, and there is no upper limit. About after the autumn harvest, I asked for people. ”

"100,000 work, it's really a big deal. What do you just want these people to do? Lord Bai, you must always have a clear statement, although this is a great thing for the people of Guangdong, but as a parent official, you must also be responsible for the people! The tone of the revelation was very strict. (To be continued......)
