Bai Minghe left the room where the merchants were focused, and the members of the Ten Merchants Gang were silent for a long time before anyone spoke.

"This incident makes me feel that Bai Minghe just received the silver that corrupt officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty wanted to rob into his pocket. Of course, the total amount may be less than that of the corrupt officials, or it may be more! ”

"Are you smart?" Liu Zhi asked.

The one who opened his mouth smiled and asked, "Then how does Brother Liu say it?" ”

"At least we're making more, if the white crane can really keep us from passing on other money." Liu Zhi said.

Xie Yiyuan only said one sentence: "I can fight a small county order, can I fight the prefect?" Even if he has the ability to compete with the prefect, the small prefect may not dare to raise his head in front of Dongchang. ”

The merchants were silent.

The Ten Great Business Gangs are also an organization that unites for self-protection, and it is said to be close and tight, and it is also loose and loose. At least until there is no common enemy, they simply cannot be close.

"Bai Minghe can also do without our top ten business gangs, he wants to raise a business to become a giant businessman, it only takes a year." Ningbo Gang Wang Fulin, who had been silent for two days, spoke for the first time: "Moreover, if we want to cut off our business, we only need to cut off the sea route, and we will lose nine percent of ourselves."

"Joke, we ......" Someone immediately began to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw Wang Fulin holding a piece of linen cloth in his hand.

Needless to say, the biggest business of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty is clothing and food. As long as Bai Minghe is willing, it will definitely not be a problem to smash the grain price of the entire Ming Dynasty down by 30%. The price of linen cloth can make it possible for a company that relies only on local raw materials to weave as much cloth as it loses.

As for silk, it is a luxury, not a necessity.

Silent. There is a dead silence, no businessman speaks anymore, and the person who can negotiate on behalf of the merchant gang is somewhat wise, and most importantly, a person who is rational enough.

Next, the white crane stayed in Hepu for two days so that everyone had a time to visit Hepu.

It's really as Hu Hu said. They didn't go to Zhuchi, or Zhuhai, to see the white crane. It's just that Bai Minghe went around by himself, one is to give some instructions, and the other is that Bai Minghe also wants to expand this and form a huge industry for himself, you must know that the pearl is placed in Daming, and ten times more, a hundred times is not much.

You know, after a large number of workers in later generations farmed. The white crane is an artificial pearl, and it is an exaggeration to say that the amount of one ten-thousandth.

Two days later, Bai Minghe left Hepu with Yu Qian and others, and he was ready to sail back.

While passing by the sea off Guangzhou, Bai Minghe left the warship he was on and boarded his own lucky ship. Yang Neng continued to return to Guangzhou with the merchants, and Bai Chongxi, Bai Minghe's father, also left the ship, so he naturally made other arrangements for entering Beijing. However, the fortune boat has already picked up all the family members of the white crane.

Even all the belongings were loaded onto the ship. This is an iron heart and will not return to Guangzhou again.

In addition to the two fortune boats that Shirana Crane prepared for himself, there are also twenty fortune boats. and a fleet of seventy cargo ships and escort warships that entered Beijing with Shirahimatsuru, and it was time to exchange many things for silver in the capital.

Sitting in Fu Chuan's own study, Sun Yuanjun came over and delivered a letter.

"Miss Wan Xue'er gave it to her husband, she said she would wait for you in Jiangnan. didn't say that it would be in that mansion in Jiangnan, only that you would definitely be the same as she thought, and the building she bought would be not far from your new mansion in Jiangnan. Sun Yuanjun's tone was sour. Even she couldn't guess where Bai Minghe would choose, how would Wan Xue'er know.

Shira-nayaku replied with a smile: "Even I don't know, where will I choose?" ”

"Really?" Sun Yuanjun didn't believe it.

"Really!" Shirakawaru nodded affirmatively.

This is weird, can Wan Xue'er really calculate this qiē?

Sun Yuanjun sat next to Bai Minghe: "Husband, I'm a little afraid. I'm afraid that you will end up being just a pawn in the battle above the court. After all, you're too young and you don't have any roots. It's not that Lord Yu is unreliable, but this time Lord Hu's behavior is too abnormal, and it is difficult to guarantee that Qingliu is not allowed to dominate the court. ”

Clear stream dominates the court!

Bai Minghe was frightened by Sun Yuanjun's suggestion, Qingliu is not terrible to dominate at the moment, but in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that the hateful self-proclaimed Qingliu of the Donglin Party, but actually doing countless evils, will appear in advance.

"It's worthy of being my woman, and she's really not pedantic." Shiraima praised the crane.

"What the husband said is that I don't know if I should make friends with those official ladies when I enter Beijing this time, but the husband has made an arrangement first, and Yuan Jun should make some preparations." Sun Yuanjun said very directly, this lady's diplomacy is also her incomparably powerful combat power, and it can also be used at critical times.

And Sun Yuanjun is from Zhuozhou, not far from the capital, and there are some friends who have made real handkerchiefs.

"You help me think about it, that high-ranking official can come back from the high valley. You know, if they don't take refuge, they die. Of course, we don't need those incompetent people, there are some flaws, but they are really talented and virtuous, and it is worth it to keep a guarantee. For example, Shi Heng and the like still have to die to make some contributions to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Bai Minghe said it very bluntly, and the tone seemed to be able to really make or break the life of these people.

Sun Yuanjun has thought about this question: "Wang Wen, the household servant, is stubborn and mean, and he is not liked by all officials. Just because he holds a lot of power, he is one of the pillars of the Takaya party. He defected to the Gao Gu party because he didn't like the noble ideas of Yang Ning and others, although he was not in the party of adults, but he helped adults several times. ”

"Stubborn and mean?" Bai Minghe said in his heart, I'm afraid this evaluation is not easy to explain.

Sun Yuanjun explained: "He was rich, so he was stimulated when he was young. ”

"Ah, I can understand it, this person is available. Do you have a relationship with his family? ”

"His two granddaughters are friends with me, in fact, you have also seen your husband, just at the Zhuozhou Poetry Conference, both of them were there." Sun Yuanjun explained to Bai Minghe, and Bai Minghe said that I would care about the little girl who didn't grow up, and the sight at that time was basically in the scenery.

"There is another one, named Sun Yuanzhen. I also have some relatives, once served as the political envoy of Zhejiang, and later served as the left squire of the military department. When the Jingshi defended the war, he happened to be at home, and then in the first year of Jingtai, there were thieves who made a rebellion, and he recruited 4,000 villagers to clean up the bandits. ”

"Is such a person also a member of the Takaya Party?" Bai Minghe asked.

"When he was the political envoy of Zhejiang, he participated in the salt case. At that time, whether he was wronged or not, the crime was decided. It was Takaya who kept him, which is also the reason why many people don't like Qingliu, Qingliu These people sometimes show themselves noble and upright, but sometimes they are not necessarily, Takatani is greedy for silver, and Qingliu is greedy for fame. ”

Hearing this, Bai Minghe asked rhetorically, "How do you know this?" ”

"Sister Wan Xue'er gave it to me, and he said you will definitely need it."

"You've been spoiled by her, this woman is really scary, and you've become very cunning. But ......" Bai Minghe pulled a long voice: "The people of our Bai family, if we don't have enough heads, I'm afraid we will die a long time ago." In order to survive, this head must grow well. ”

Sun Yuanjun giggled, very happy.

The fleet arrived in Fuzhou a few days later, and ten more ships joined Shira's fleet.

In the midst of the fleet, a small boat quickly came to the white crane with a few people from a 2,000-material warship. At first glance, the person he knew turned out to be General Mao Sheng.

"General Mao is well!"

Mao Sheng gave a military salute very strictly: "Hello Lord Bai." ”

Mao Sheng's military salute made Bai Minghe a little overwhelmed, and Mao Sheng laughed loudly: "You kid also has a time to be enlightened, and there are problems that can't be solved." This governor is here to see you, and by the way, I will bring you a list of Fuzhou, and it is a good thing that every official in Fuzhou will be busy for at least seven hours a day for the Chinese New Year. ”

"General Mao can ask if you have anything to ask, if you want me to send someone to invite Yu out of the big warehouse."

"No, just two sentences. Let's talk about those natives in Little Luzon first, are they Ming people in your heart? Mao Sheng asked this question, Bai Minghe really ignored it, and after this was asked, Bai Minghe thought for five minutes before answering: "At least have faith, read my Ming sage book, and be loyal to me The Ming Emperor is a Ming person." ”

Mao Shengxin said that this statement was appropriate, he didn't think about it, but he needed Bai Minghe to say his thoughts in person. Also so that there will be no trouble in the future.

"The second question, I feel that it may be a little troublesome in less than half a year. Some of the Japanese boats without my flag were trying to cross our patrol line. And to the west of Mindanao, there is a king of Chamada, who is very ambitious, who has been expanding for a hundred years, and whose church dies if he does not believe in him. And someone also met a Francophone merchant, and it doesn't feel like a good person, what do you think? ”

Historically, it was not decades later that Portugal ruled......

Oh......

Bai Minghe came back to his senses, and after a few decades of rule, then there are forces starting to enter now, this is normal. After all, Portugal was far away, and they could not invest as many soldiers as themselves, so they adopted the method of encroachment, and it was initially a civilian force.

Bai Minghe looked at Mao Sheng and made a killing gesture lightly on his neck.

Mao Sheng smiled and patted Bai Minghe on the shoulder: "It's really a ruthless person." ”

"I promised your nephew a blonde slave girl, and when I stabilize the capital, stabilize Da Nang and level the city, I will suppress Ma Liujia, and then see who has the final say. Let's also be a medical officer to treat all kinds of dissatisfaction. ”

Mao Sheng laughed loudly: "Specializing in all kinds of disobedience, this governor likes it." Hahaha! ”

"Add another hundred stones of gold, I don't know if it's enough for shipbuilding." Shira-naka asked.

"Not enough, double it. The ship doesn't cost much, but the cannon and soldiers also cost silver, and according to your idea, the Ming Sailor will be doubled. (To be continued......)
