The white crane needs to increase the overseas Ming liaison office, of course, the current Ming is not up to the level of responsibility of the consulate, but the people of the Ming Dynasty overseas also have to manage, so the white crane can't help but take these things seriously.

"If Lord Bai thinks that the old man is still useful, the old man will do his best to make these places functional?"

Zhang Feng likes to listen to these words.

So let's talk about a few things again.

Bai Minghe asked someone to bring a box, a set of 100 copies, the work guidelines of the Daming Consulate and the duties of officials at all levels.

"Please help me take a look, and if there is anything incomplete, I will revise it. And this! Bai Minghe signaled, and another big box was brought in: "This is the detailed rules for the further study of officials, and I also ask Lord Zhang to check it." This is not the end, there is still a box: "During the period of material scarcity, for commodities with small output, it is natural that you can't have silver to get it, and there is always nothing wrong with respecting the elderly, so you can supply a part of the ticket with a part, and then negotiate with a part of the silver The younger generation thinks it is better, this is the detailed rules please ask Lord Zhang to check it!" ”

Zhang Feng quickly flipped through it, and Bai Minghe had already considered it quite carefully.

However, there are also areas that can be improved.

For example, the rules of the white crane for invoices, and the qualifications of the ticket recipients have very big loopholes. And there is no need to really print the ticket and send it out, you only need to file it at the local county and li levels, and use the roster to outline it.

Then there are these low-yield, expensive but low-priced products, and those who are qualified to buy them can resell the goods. Or the details such as resale qualifications are not explained in detail in the booklet of Shiranakazuru. The white crane is a talent, but a person cannot be perfect.

What Zhang Feng thought in his heart was that Bai Minghe still had little experience in politics, and his idea was very good. Details are more important.

But there are experienced old courtiers of their own. Then these things can be done better.

Who said that the six departments of Nanjing have no place to play.

A kind of pride rose from the depths of my heart, and the suffering of being relegated to Nanjing for a bad career was finally over.

"Please come back first, Lord Bai, there will definitely be a detailed case file in three days. As far as the ticket is concerned, it is feasible to select a county in Nanjing for a pilot project first, see the effect, and then improve it. This matter is arranged by the official, and Lord Bai only needs to send someone to prepare the goods. ”

Shira-naka let out a long sigh of relief. Finally solved another big problem.

Next, it's time to talk about Xiao Rong.

Collecting taxes is much more complicated than sending things, and Xiao Rong is a rigid and cautious person. He saw the detailed brochure that Bai Minghe had given to the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Household did not have it. I forced Bai Minghe to go to the Yamen of the Household Department in Nanjing, wrote down the documents in black and white, and then made a ten-day appointment, and after ten days, the Household Department would come up with a rule, and then discuss.

Back to the house. Bai Minghe began to calculate the other three parts of Nanjing in his heart.

The military department is good to say, Xu Chengzong is in charge. The military department is almost empty, whether it is an officer or a soldier, all the people are busy every day, but they are afraid that there are not enough people and they will definitely not say that they are idle. The management of each wharf, the continuous expansion and drawing of nautical charts, and the detailed rules of the sailor's regulations are really idle.

Next. It wasn't dawn yet.

The white crane who was in the morning movement received the news.

"My lord, yesterday overnight. Shangyuan County, north of Nanjing, posted notices up and down, that is, my lord, you mentioned that matter. This time, the ticket provided thermos, Songjiang cotton cloth, Huzhou silk, steel-inlaid kitchen knife, and first-class coconut oil. ”

Note: Originally, this place was called Shangyuan County, and the modern name is Qixia!

Shira-nae remembered the contents of his booklet, and it seemed that the Ministry of Rites had only selected five of them for experimentation.

However, this is a bit too efficient. Notify the whole county overnight, I really don't know how many people have broken their legs.

"Your Excellency. Want to check it out? ”

"I want to go, maybe I go?" The white name crane is born, and as soon as the pomp and circumstance opens, a person knows that he has arrived.

But the guard said, "My lord, this is a good deed." The ability is what you lead, and you don't need to hide it? ”

"What about Lu Qiyuan?" Bai Minghe planned to let Lu Qiyuan go with him. The guard said, "My lord needs to add a few more masters, and the current masters didn't come back last night." I only know that the first batch of gold ore dug up from Little Luzon on the dock has arrived, maybe it was because of this to stay at the dock! ”

The guards didn't know how busy Lu Qiyuan's masters were.

They can take care of the gold ore, and the expansion of the Nanjing wharf is a tiring job, and they dare not relax for the next half a year.

"Looking for some more masters?" The white crane said to himself. The guards won't answer this, it doesn't matter to him whether they find it or not, their task is to protect and spread the word. Recently, there have been more tasks to deliver letters.,There's no way anyone keeps the white crane too busy.。

It's not a matter of a day or two to find the master, but Bai Minghe still decided to go to Shangyuan to have a look.

Get on the boat directly in the White Horse Pavilion, cross the Xuanwu Lake to the north shore is the boundary of Shangyuan County, change the horse and go east ten miles to the county seat.

When Bai Minghe arrived in the county seat, it was already past noon, and the people were surrounded inside and outside the county.

It is a lakeside beachhead outside the south gate of the county seat, Zhang Feng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is here, and thirty percent of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are here. Several low-ranking officials had swollen eyes, and it was clear that they hadn't slept last night.

Xie Yiyuan of the Shang Gang has also arrived, as the old man of the Shang Gang, he is qualified to stand here, after all, this is also a good deed of the Shang Gang.

Bai Minghe motioned not to go over, and found a simple shed on high ground to sit down.

"The white crane has arrived, and he is also well-intentioned in this matter!" Zhang Feng said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites beside him, and several people looked into the distance, there was no flag on Bai Minghe's side, which did not mean that a team of elite soldiers could be ignored.

The officials of the county government, the temporarily convened township warriors of the county, quickly pulled out an area with a rope.

Zhang Feng is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, even if this kind of thing is good for his reputation, he will not come forward in person. In the end, it was Xie Yiyuan, the representative of the county order and the business gang, who came to the front.

The first one on the table was an open thermos.

The county commander was holding a piece of paper, which had obviously been read dozens of times, but he was still afraid of saying that he was wrong, and even if he memorized it, he also planned to read it, after all, there was a second-grade master watching behind him.

"This thing was developed by the first institute of Daming Xing, and was originally known as a thermos. On the market, this thing is called a thermal insulation glass cup. Putting hot water in it can ensure that it is not cool for five hours, and there is still a temperature for making tea within an hour and a half. The one you see is the glass cup, in order to protect it is not easy to break, so it is equipped with three kinds of bamboo weaving, wood carving, and silk weaving for protection. The prices are two taels, three taels, and five taels of silver. Seniors over the age of 65 who have no virtue can buy a pair. A filial son recognized by the county can buy a pair of ......"

The prefectural order is reading the standard.

With the base price of two taels, three taels, and five taels. Some are worse, such as middle-level filial sons, who can only buy one, or buy a pair at a price of 20%. The virtuous woman at the county level is equivalent to the filial son of the li, and the chastity archway has been for 30 years, and then the price is reduced by 30%, and the price of 20 years is reduced by 20%.

The white crane listened from a distance, some of which could not be heard clearly, and some of them wrote it down and passed it back.

"It seems that when it comes to earning money, merchants also have a set. Rattan is used as a shelf, and then a layer is wrapped in embroidered silk. Five taels of silver is also expensive, and I think many rich people may buy it at a high price. However, the standard of this ticket is really unexpected. ”

Shirana Crane really didn't expect it.

This standard is formulated in such detail and rigor that it is impossible to exploit a loophole.

And most importantly, the Nanjing Ministry of Rites follows the existing moral code of the Ming Dynasty. The older and virtuous people are naturally of high rank, and the great filial son who can be reported to the Ministry of Rites in the capital for the record is a national-level filial son, and he can buy it at half price.

However, the national-level filial piety is the same as the level of the chastity archway, and the entire Ming Dynasty will not exceed a hundred.

What is the usual price of Huzhou silk, twenty feet a horse is a high price of ten taels of silver, and it is priceless. If you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it. Here, if you can buy a thermos bottle and get a discount on the base price, you will definitely be able to buy it for eight taels of silver. But this is enough for the standard number of people, and there are about 20 people in a county.

At the level of filial piety, they are all certified in the government.

Hearing the end, Shira-naka Crane heard two very special levels.

One is a virtuous home. It's about a family in a certain village who knows some carpenter work. But he did not have a carpenter's business, because he had his own land. Usually, in a few nearby villages, the family does not charge money to help with small jobs such as repairing curtains and plows, and sometimes there is too much work, and at most they have a meal at the master's house.

The real collection of money is to do such work as making large furniture.

Ten years like a day, he has a very good reputation in the nearby village, and the county has filed for inspection and reported to the government.

This is the level of the House of Virtue, second only to the national filial son.

There is also a petty official of Zhishi. He has been educated for children in Qili and Eight Villages, but he has never received school fees. Some of his students were admitted to Xiucai, some were lifted, and some even won Jinshi. These people will donate to his primary school, and there are also ordinary merchants and wealthy people who donate money. This has been maintained.

Such a person, given the highest level of all the levels, gifted!

After Bai Minghe heard this level, half of what he thought about was the private teachers who paid silently in later generations, and the other half thought about the Ming system, only reading was high.

While the white crane was looking down and thinking, a man ran to his side with a basket on his back, knelt down and kowtowed. got up and left, and the white crane was stunned by this kowtowing action. Taking advantage of the fact that Bai Minghe was stunned, there was another man and a woman, the male kowtowed, and the female Wanfu left equally quickly after giving the salute.

When an old man came to kowtow, Bai Minghe came back to his senses and hurriedly took a few steps forward, but he didn't have time to help him because of the distance.

"Old man, don't do it!" (To be continued......)
