Speaking of the Tao, Daming can say that everyone has their own Tao in their hearts.

What is the Tao?

Tao is the principle of Eastern philosophy, and in other words, it is the ultimate truth. Therefore, everyone in the Ming Dynasty has a Tao in their hearts and the ultimate truth of their inner world. Tao is the philosophy of China! The Tao gives birth to all things, the Tao is in all things, and exists in nature in thousands of forms, which is the Tao in the heart of everyone who sits.

What is the way of the white crane? In fact, everyone is very curious, Bai Minghe always says that he is a Taoist believer, but in fact, even the Taoist masters can't see the slightest shadow of Taoism in Bai Minghe, let alone any Buddhism, nor Confucianism, and it is not like saying that there are soldiers.

Therefore, Bai Minghe said, and everyone here wanted to hear it.

"What is the royal road, the royal way is whoever is disobedient will clean up. Of course, it is overbearing to be obedient and clean up. Of course, the Mo family's ink road is to make some equipment to clean up. Bingdao is simple, direct and efficient, and tidy up. Confucianism......" Bai Minghe pulled a long note and hung his appetite, and said with a smile: "Confucianism and Taoism are, sue him before cleaning up, and then clean up." But it will definitely be cleaned up. ”

Porphyry, ......, the two young princes sitting in the corner squirted out their mouths full of tea.

"In fact, Buddhism also has a way, that is, to clean up who and sue the other party. Cleaning up and not cleaning up are the same, the color is empty, and the empty is color, so cleaning up is equivalent to not cleaning up, but it will definitely be cleaned up fiercely. ”

"What about Taoism?" Xu Chengzong forced a smile.

While cleaning up the other party, he drank tea calmly. Tranquility is naturally empty, calm down and slowly clean up. Bai Minghe smiled heartily, and suddenly his tone changed: "The way of the Ming Dynasty is that where the sun rises, those who are not convinced." Treat all kinds of dissatisfaction. Use steel knives, warships, and artillery to deal with all kinds of disobedience. ”

"Good!" An angry slap from a bearded governor smashed the inch-thick wooden table.

There is nothing wrong with being a soldier and eating food, but these generals all know in their hearts that the Ming Dynasty is now the world of civilian officials. These military attachés are becoming less and less statused, and even if they defend the northern frontier, they can see the same war every year. It is subject to the civilian clique everywhere, whether it is grain and grass, or weapons.

Not to mention. The big tomorrow has been decided, and it is difficult for the military attaches to come out on a bright day.

Ordinary small schools have worked hard all their lives, and nine out of ten people don't know what the six-rank military attache seal looks like.

The first to turn the tables was Guangdong, and the first time to eat coarse grains was stiffer than those who ate fine grains. All your incorruptible money is earned for you by these coarse grain eaters.

"The guards are very poor now!" One of the governors said so.

The first reaction in Bai Minghe's heart was, did he look like a wronged man? But thinking about it the other way around, it has a different meaning.

Whether it is in the modern era of later generations, or the Ming Dynasty at this time.

A person who does not have the slightest use value has no need to save zài at all. If you don't have anything to use, I'm afraid it's except for your loved ones. You are absolutely alone in the world.

Shiraka Crane is not a real nineteen-year-old.

Judging from the experience of living for 30 years in later generations, the military wants to get some from here, and it also needs the support of the military. So there are only three kinds of relationships, the closer ones are friends, the farther ones are cooperation, and some are more direct to use each other.

"Bring me the map!"

There is no need to greet the white crane, Xu Chengshou is ready here.

"I'm a junior, and this time it's arrogant. The biggest thing right now. It's not about killing people, it's about building roads. There is no one good path. Even if you want to go to war, you can't supply the afterlife. Governors, please see! Bai Minghe stretched out his hand and drew on the map: "The transportation on the Yangtze River must be guaranteed, the waterways on both sides of the Yangtze River, as long as it is a place where cargo ships can reach, are actually all places where you can make a fortune, and it is a wealth that everyone loves, and we provide a way for the people to get rich." It can also earn taxes for the imperial court. At the same time, it is also possible to earn money for the provinces. ”

The governor of Jiangxi pressed one hand on the map and asked Bai Minghe: "I heard that you ordered a large amount of porcelain from the Koreans?" ”

"Don't take anything worthless to heart. In other words, there are some good potters in Jiangxi. The income of a furnace of 100 taels of silver is dry, and the maximum amount of a furnace for the Koreans is 10 taels of silver. If you care about this kind of thing, you will be stingy. ”

Bai Minghe said half-jokingly.

The governor of Jiangxi nodded, and Bai Minghe's words were reasonable.

"White-named crane, in addition to the military field, there is also a food gap for two adults in each guard station. To put it simply, they make money for the guards, and they also sell some goods. It's just that these people have poor craftsmanship and can't compete with the merchants' workshops, and they have become poorer and poorer over the years. Xu Chengzong said.

"No craftsmanship, this is a high-quality product."

After Bai Minghe finished speaking, Yang Neng also said: "Chaozhou kiln, I didn't fight for much silver in the first few months of last year. After all kinds of porcelain were selected, half of them were defective, and the boy Bai Minghe only collected them at a price of 20% to 30%, and finally all of them were sold in the northwest, and he didn't make any money. ”

Bai Minghe held a meeting with these people, and what he said was nothing more than three points.

Repair wharves, build roads, and develop transport capacity. Then there is the military household workshop inside each health station, if you want to make it, you need to make high-quality products, and there is no problem for women to weave cloth, and there are many raw materials here. The last one is that Bai Minghe asked each province to train troops, and each province should prepare at least 30,000 real elites for backup.

The elite that Bai Minghe said was not an ordinary elite.

Xu Chengzong finally gave a standard, with 5,000 people in a battalion. Three thousand six hundred firearms alone, eight hundred cavalry, and six hundred shields. This is an astronomical amount of investment, but Bai Minghe has already given each guard a chance to earn money in advance, and after earning the money and investing it, it only takes another three years for these elites to make a big income.

"Hit whom?" Xu Yongning, the defender of the country, immediately jumped over.

Bai Minghe scratched his hair a little embarrassed: "This, can you not answer." ”

"No righteousness!" Xu Yongning's scolding was very dissatisfied, but Bai Minghe just shook his head: "I can't talk about this, you don't look very reliable, if you drink flower wine that day and say it, if people are prepared, I will be very troublesome." Of course, there are many uncles and uncles who are likely to do more extreme things to you with sticks. ”

Xu Yongning rolled up his sleeves: "Do you dare to go it alone?" ”

"Don't dare, I like to take a lot of people to bully very few people, and I'm alone at the moment, so I'll tell you to take this kind of thing alone, how can it be on a prince and a prince, so we should call Qi people and practice in a formation. By the way, you can make a small bet or two to entertain your body and mind. ”

Xu Yongning can stuff an egg in his mouth.

How can there be such a person, such words can be put in the heart, how can they be able to say it.

Bai Minghe laughed dryly: "Speaking of gambling, in fact, the provincial armies can also make small bets." Five days later, the juniors will prepare an interesting game in Shanglin Yuan, and the seniors must come. ”

"Shira-nathan Crane, how much silver do you have?" Xu Chengzong suddenly asked again.

"Does Guogong want to bet big with me? I don't think it's still necessary, if you want to ask how much the annual output value of the workshops of the Ming Dynasty can be, the first thing is to repair the road first, and the benefit of taking salt alone is not small. According to the average price of 50 wen per catty, it is impossible to save private salt, because it is not enough cost. I chose salt, and I thought about it. ”

"Tell me!"

"The price of salt is as high as sixty and as low as forty-five wen. It's actually a test, or a kind of training. Whoever can earn silver, in addition to Yantian will definitely compete for silver, what can really earn silver is to test the transportation capacity, whoever has good transportation considerations, who will benefit greatly. ”

Shira's explanation was very much appreciated by the Governors.

What the military is best at, in fact, in addition to fighting wars, is the ability to transport.

Think about it, hundreds of thousands of troops fought on the front lines. The real victory or defeat is not only the fight on the battlefield, whoever has good logistics support will have more chances of winning.

And the cost of transportation is also related to the victory or defeat of the battle. It wasn't ten stone meters to be transported to the front line, leaving only three stones.

"Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Beijing, Fujian, Guangdong six provinces. I've already calculated, if you really work hard, you can save half of the current transportation costs, definitely half. Just one thing, a cargo ship of 1,500 materials, under the condition of a certain volume and load, this loading is also a knowledge. ”

"Reasonable!" Xu Chengzong watched the loading of ships on the dock.

At present, Daming does not pay much attention to the loading of ships, and the most is to ensure that the goods are not damaged and the weight balance on the ship.

However, no one has studied the assembly of a variety of goods.

"Everything is learned and there is a way." The white crane looks very profound.

Xu Yongning asked Bai Minghe: "Then why don't you write down these methods and teach them to the fleets on the dock?" ”

"Teach, how else can I play the play of buying horse bones?" Shira-nae asked with a smile.

"You ......, can you not tell all the words hidden in your heart, when there are many things that others want to say, they are always hidden in their hearts, what is the meaning of you saying them directly."

Bai Minghe laughed: "It doesn't matter if everyone hears it, I will still do it." ”

Xu Chengzong spoke at this time: "Bai Minghe, go back, we will avoid you to discuss how to calculate you, how to get more silver and opportunities from you." By the way, guess that you want to prepare to use your elite soldiers there, of course, it will definitely not be the north, and you have already attacked Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Liaodong in the north. To the south, an Annan is not worth such a big deal with your temperament, so we have to discuss it. ”

Xu Chengzong actually came to say something straightforward, but Bai Minghe couldn't accept it. (To be continued......)
