Today is a small pilgrimage meeting, and there are definitely not many things to discuss in the heart of the white name crane, so it shouldn't be too long.

Bai Minghe guessed halfway, that is, not only are there not many things to discuss, but it can be said that there are very few, only one.

But this matter was discussed for a long morning, with quarrels and crying.

The matter of discussion started with Zhang Jie, these nobles were so bold that they dared to reach out to Bai Minghe's batch of money and grain, and Zhu Qiyu was angry.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and his blood flowed thousands of miles.

Young Zhu Qiyu is not a hideous-looking demon, but he can also kill.

What's more, Bai Minghe has already handed the handle of the knife to his hand, and killing people will add a lot of prestige to himself, and he can get the respect of the people and hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers, this person must be killed.

Zhang Jie can't be killed, because Zhang Jie's ancestor was the earl of Taizu at that time, and he couldn't hold up the royal face of killing an earl. However, it can be replaced by a few people, such as the staff of Earl Zhang Jie's mansion, who first picked out a dozen and pulled them out and cut off their heads, and the rest of the counts who participated in this matter reduced their fiefdoms and fined two silver.

Some people are not convinced, saying that they really want to do something good.

Jumped out of the Golden Temple.

"Long live, the minister thought that Wan Chengbo's words were untrue. In the last month, there were more than a dozen businessmen went to Wan Chengbo's house to collect debts, only more than 3,000 taels of silver, Wan Chengbo used the glass cup that Chengzu gave to the elders of the family and a few famous calligraphy and paintings in the Tang Dynasty to top the debt, so the minister thought that Wancheng Bo could not take out the silver two for transportation and loss. ”

Li Bing came out in person, as the right governor of Yushi, this Wancheng Bo could only look at him twice at most.

Zhu Qiyu is the emperor. That doesn't mean he's not young. A bad idea immediately jumped out of his heart, and he immediately said, "I still believe in Uncle Wancheng." So be it. Before noon, Wan Chengbo converted the loss and freight required this time, whether it was silver, silk or grain. Just send it to the palace gate, not only will I not be punished, but I will also be rewarded. ”

"The minister thinks that 18,000 taels of silver is appropriate." Li Bing came out again.

Eighteen thousand taels, a small debt of more than three thousand taels needs to be treasured by the family to pay off the debt, how can the nobles send eighteen thousand taels worth of silver, grain, and silk in one hour.

Zhu Qiyu also turned his face: "If you can't send it, it's a bully!" ”

Wan Chengbo fainted on the spot.

"Drag it down, remove the lord for the people." Zhu Qiyu's eyes swept over the others in the hall: "Who else?" ”

At that moment, knelt on a string. There are only those who beg for mercy, and there are no hardeners. Zhu Qiyu also watched people cook, some of them originally supported him, so they naturally loosened their hands, and those who were not on the right path with him were ruthlessly cleaned up.

Yang Ning looked at this qiē silently, and a word came to mind that Bai Minghe had said to him personally.

"Pit daddy!" That's right, that's the cheat. A group of little children are powerful in the capital, taking advantage of a small businessman. It's just a trivial thing like drinking a flower wine and escaping the account. Even if he secretly deducted some military salaries and resold some military rations, he could still resist it, but since he dared to stretch out his hand to the villain Bai Minghe, he had to be prepared to have his hand cut off. It also affects the plans of the elders in the family.

"Long live Chen Qi!" Li Bing came out again.

"Long live, the first batch of 750,000 stone grain sent to Henan has set off. All shipping costs and losses have been taken into account. There's just one thing, the white crane did it privately. There is no sue for the minister, and there is no official letter. matter. The minister thought that it was suspected of being overbearing, and it was also a matter of loyalty to the king. ”

Let's talk about it. Li Bing took out a piece of white cotton cloth from his sleeve, which was not big, only one foot square. "Please long live, this matter is extremely confidential, and it is the time to explore the flower Chengkai for him. The minister also found out this morning. ”

The thing is very simple, that is, after Bai Minghe saw Wang Fulin that day, he arranged for Wang Fulin to help Cheng Kai.

The white cotton cloth had words on it, and it was printed. Engraved overnight, and then printed on a white cloth with a brush. The materials used are excellent, so the handwriting is very legible.

There are only more than 80 characters in total, and the characters are written by Cheng Kai. This block is more than ten times higher than the level of the white crane.

The meaning written on the cloth is that you have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, I did not care for you in time, and whenever I think of it, I can't sleep well and eat well. That catastrophe has finally passed, and your suffering is painful. Then there is the number of rewards, and the final payment is, long live the army on behalf of the Ming Dynasty Wailang Bai Ming Crane.

Zhu Qiyu read it three times, this thing is really difficult to locate.

If you want to talk about the white crane's edict, this is the work that I arranged for the white crane, and the white crane does not have half a word on the cloth. But to talk about ......, Zhu Qiyu reacted. This is the Inspectorate suing himself, and the white crane is brushing his reputation among the people as he did last time.

If the white crane really has an edict, can these royal histories not bite the white crane to death?

Therefore, this is to tell sù himself, the emperor, that this kind of thing can no longer be done, and he can't continue to use countless ways to give the emperor a reputation among the people, which is contrary to the holy words of Confucius, he should be low-key, he should do good deeds without leaving his name, and it is the emperor's responsibility to govern the world.

"The white crane is in power, and even if it wants to be written, it should be written by the Ministry of Rites. Lao Cai, you go and reprimand Bai Minghe on behalf of me, and issue a decree to punish him for one year! ”

As long as the emperor can be soft, Li Bing will not chase and bite anymore.

As for the fines?

Punish it, what about the 10,000-year-old Yu Lu who is fined the white crane. Li Bingke lived in the White Crane Mansion, and saw with his own eyes the gold calculated by the stone, the calculation unit of gold in the Ming Dynasty, with two, with money, there are leaves. Shira-naka Crane was the first person to use stones to calculate gold.

He was fined 10,000 years, that is, more than a million taels of silver.

"Retreat!" Zhu Qiyu had already heard Gonggong Cai quietly tell him that Bai Minghe was waiting for him in the south study, and the court meeting was to punish these nobles, and this kind of matter should be handed over to the Inspectorate, and there was no need to discuss it for too long.

Zhu Qiyu didn't even change his court clothes, and came directly to the south study.

"Throne!"

"Long live Xie, the minister is only here for three things. The first thing the minister had to do, but he was full of fear. The Empress Dowager asked his ministers to buy back more than 1,000 people from the quarry in the eastern suburbs from prison slaves and become domestic slaves for one penny each. The minister was terrified, so he came to Banzai. The white crane knelt on the ground and hurriedly told him about it.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand lightly: "I don't even have this amount of tolerance." There is no need to mention this again. ”

"The minister said the second thing. The minister wants to ask for an official, and his full name is: Governor Caoyun and Admiral, Military Governor, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and other places in charge of the river. After Bai Minghe finished speaking, he knelt there and waited for the emperor to react.

Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty silently recited this long list of names in his heart three times. It was not easy to react, and the white crane was begging for a second-grade official.

Thinking about the canal again, Zhu Qiyu already had the heart to rectify the canal, and when he heard Bai Minghe mention this, he was very interested.

In real history, this name is extremely long, abbreviated: the official of the governor of Caoyun, which was established at the end of the second year of Jingtai. The real reason in history is the food crisis in the capital, and this official was originally the grain superintendent, and asked all parts of the south to transport grain to the capital to supplement the grain in the capital.

"Talk, sit down. Let me listen to it. ”

Bai Minghe sat down according to his words, his treatment was excellent, not only did he sit, but the little eunuch brought tea.

"Long live, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is an extremely important transportation hub. But the minister did this, but he was black-hearted. Bai Minghe thought that he had a black heart, so he laid the foundation for his next words. Zhu Qiyu also smiled and motioned for Bai Minghe to continue.

"Hooray, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has many problems at the moment. First of all, the money customs, the money they actually collect, but the money they hand over to the state treasury is money. In Jiangnan, there are people who are doing a kind of business, that is, collecting money. At present, only four buckets of rice can be exchanged for a hundred banknotes, and this price is still rising, I am afraid that there will only be three buckets of rice next year. ”

The banknotes are becoming less and less valuable, and Zhu Qiyu knows about this. At present, the usual treasure money is no longer printed, and the common people hide when they see the treasure money, and no one is willing to use this for trading.

"Is there anything wrong with the treasure money?" Zhu Qiyu asked casually.

"Hooray, the minister doesn't dare to discuss this matter. In the future, if you really have to talk, the minister needs ten days and ten nights to give Banzai a detailed analysis. What the minister wants to say is that this governor of Caoyun is a pit, whoever is the governor of this governor may not be killed by the people below after two or three years, and he will also be guilty of a capital crime, and most importantly, because Beijing and Hangzhou are unfavorable, so he has given a good excuse for transporting grain by sea. ”

"Why?"

"When the governor took office, he waited to eat meat in all the banknotes, guards, prefectures, and counties along the original canal. There is only so much meat, and these people cannot tolerate a governor. But if this governor is very powerful and suppresses these people, then he needs more meat, and this is how he seeks death. ”

Bai Minghe's analysis Zhu Qiyu agrees, he also knows that he is greedy, but he must die if he is greedy.

"Also, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is so neat, ordinary people don't care, but real businessmen are greatly affected. Long live if another warrant is added, the official ship is not allowed to carry private goods, otherwise there will be a fine of silver for as much cargo as possible. If you have a meritorious name, you must pay money to the banknote after bringing more than a certain amount of goods without permission, otherwise you will be fined, and you will lose your fame! ”

Zhu Qiyu disagreed.

"Bai Minghe, it is more important to take the fame than to kill them, I don't agree with this matter."

"Long live, fame can be an official. But without fame, their knowledge is still there, and people with real skills can also achieve a career, and people who stick to their fame and only read dead books are not what the Ming Dynasty needs. ”

Bai Minghe persuaded again, but Zhu Qiyu didn't listen: "Let's discuss this matter again." As you say, as long as I show a little bit of tone, this governor's council will take this opportunity to make a big move. Now you answer me, who are you asking for this governor, or ......" Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Maybe you said that who did you dig the pit for?" ”

"Shi Heng!" (To be continued......)
