The figure of 500,000 stone rice really scared Zhu Qiyu.

He is an emperor, but he is not an emperor who does not understand anything: "How much was Guangdong's tax last year?" I remember it's one hundred and ninety thousand stones, right? ”

"Long live the diligent government, that's the number." Cheng Jing answered next to him.

Xing'an said: "Long live, I'm afraid the rice brought by the white crane is more than that." According to the information that Nu knew, it was likely that Shirana Crane would bring more than a million koku of rice to Beijing. Yang Neng of Guangdong lent most of the ships of Guanghaiwei to Baiming Crane to transport grain, and according to the size of the borrowed fleet, the slave thought that it was far more than one million stones. ”

Zhu Qiyu's heart also lifted, and he didn't listen to it as a joke anymore.

"You go on!"

"Hooray, the minister still knows. Bai Minghe's excuse for going to Beijing this time was to sacrifice prisoners, and it was said that the prisoners were actually human heads. The specific reason is unknown, but the rumor from the yamen of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division that Bai Minghe was chasing and killing the Japanese fleet in the South China Sea, beheading more than 1,000 people, and then to thank Leizhouwei, Lianzhouwei, Qionghaiwei, and Guanghaiwei for their help. Bai Minghe thanked the Yamen of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division for the value of grain, grass, silver, cloth, tea, wine, etc., more than 200,000 taels of silver! ”

Xing'an reported this, and he was also a little uneasy.

hurriedly added: "Long live, the slave doesn't know where the silver comes from." The slave just knew that when Bai Minghe left Beijing, Banzai rewarded him with 100,000 taels. ”

"I want to know, too! That's not what I'm concerned about, though. "Zhu Qiyu has been the emperor for more than a year, and his political sensitivity is very strong.

Xing'an hurriedly said: "Long live, slave thought." The real purpose of the white crane coming to Beijing. Xuanfu and Datong. Yang Neng didn't have this scheming, nor did he have this vision. I'm afraid that someone else in the army came up with this idea. The white crane arrived in Beijing. If he really brought a million stones of rice, then he would inevitably affect the layout of Xuanfu and Datong. ”

"Who wants to reach out?" Zhu Qiyu's tone became stern.

Xing'an thought for a moment: "Long live." The old slave is brave. I'm afraid that this time they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Qiyu thought about it in his heart, and also reacted: "Reasonable." The two current governors are incompetent, as you said some time ago. Shi Heng has ambitions for the position left by Yang Hong, and Shi Heng has some talents. It's not the same as Yang Hong, so this time, I want to understand who and whom! ”

As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu will definitely not name people, and it will be inappropriate if it is passed on.

"Hooray, I'm afraid that the white crane will be used as a pawn this time. And it's a pawn crossing the river, just for temptation. The real game is still in the hands of those big guys behind! "Hung Yen came up with his own idea.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Cheng for reading, what do you think?" ”

"Long live already know in my heart, the slave only said two words. The white crane may have jumped in on his own initiative, and they were pawns crossing the river as white cranes, but they were really cannons, horses, or cars. It's all in the hands of Long Live ! Cheng Jing said Zhu Qiyu's thoughts very cleverly, in fact, Zhu Qiyu really thought so.

"That's right. Whether it's a pawn or not, naturally I have the final say. Zhu Qiyu had a little more smile on his face.

Xing'an asked again: "Long live, do you want to send someone to investigate the origin of these silver taels in Bai Minghe's hands." ”

"No, I don't. Wait for him to enter Beijing. He brought 500,000 stone of rice to Xuanfu and Datong. I wanted to see what he had brought to me. When I saw him. I came to him and asked him where the money came from. I have said that I can trust him. ”

Zhu Qiyu said in his heart. Bai Minghe, you alone, dare to donate a year's taxes in Guangdong. Talent!

"Hooray, slave thinks don't ask!" Cheng Jing gave an idea.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and laughed heartily: "Okay, don't ask, I will depend on you!" ”

Not asking is better than asking, firstly, it shows the emperor's trust in Bai Minghe, and secondly, it is enough to show Bai Minghe's loyalty by Bai Minghe himself.

It is impossible for Bai Minghe to hide the origin of his money, which is related to the safety of his own head.

So don't ask, it's better than asking!

Xing'an reported again: "Long live, the messenger from Guangdong will enter Beijing in two days at most." The news that the white-named crane went to Beijing to offer prisoners is pressed, or released! ”

"Put!" Zhu Qiyu's tone raised a few degrees.

Three days later, the crane was still floating on the sea. However, the news in the capital has spread that Bai Minghe is going to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners, and the donation of grain does not need to be reported by official documents, and only Dongchang can find out about this matter, and even if the rest of the people know the news, it is impossible to get it so quickly.

Shang Mansion.

The merchant who retreated from the dynasty and returned to the house casually handed a piece of paper to the young man who was waiting for him in the mansion, and then entered the study with Yu Qian and Mao Sheng, and the young man followed behind and also entered the study.

This young man is naturally the younger brother of the white crane, the white heron.

After Bai Minghe's wedding, two days after Bai Minghe left Xi'an Mansion, Bai Minglu followed his second uncle Bai Chongyuan to the capital, which was only half a month in the capital, and it was only five days to officially start studying here in Shangzhi.

"Minglu, what do you want to do?" Shang Shi asked after sitting down.

"I don't know, but according to my brother's actions in the past few months, after he arrived in the capital, the capital has caused some confusion because of the death of General Yang, and it may be even more chaotic!" Bai Minglu didn't dare to say that he knew his brother, and the current Bai Minghe was no longer something he could understand.

What Bai Minghe did in the capital, Bai Minglu broke out in a cold sweat after hearing it.

"Stand aside!" Shang Chen motioned for the white heron to retreat.

After all, Bai Minglu is still young, and he has already benefited a lot from listening to a few seniors here.

"The white crane is famous, and this time he dared to borrow the warship of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division to come to the capital with great fanfare, he didn't come to do good deeds, but I don't know what he thinks this time. If in order to balance the forces of all parties, then the candidate to replace General Yang this time should be Hu Hui's person! ”

Yu Qian shook his head: "Shi Heng has already gained the upper hand, I'm afraid it's bound to win." ”

"He's not enough. Even if he sits in the position of General Yang, he does not have the power of General Yang. Unless, he can add a few more people in. If he was alone, it was estimated that he would not be in such a hurry, and he would have to arrange his subordinates first, and then himself. And now that the nine towns are stable, it is estimated that this matter will not be until the autumn. ”

Mao Sheng's theory is from the perspective of military management and control.

It cannot be said that it does not make sense. Shi Heng will definitely not let himself be a bare-bones commander.

"It would be nice if Li Bing, the imperial historian of the right capital, could be appointed as the governor of the Xuanfu." When Yu Qian said this, he was somewhat lacking in confidence in his heart. In terms of qualifications, this Li Bing is a jinshi in the first year of orthodoxy, he has only been an official for 16 years, and he has no major merits, and it is already a gift to be able to sit in the position of the right governor of the imperial history.

The governor is not a petty official, but a governor of a town's money, grain, and military affairs.

Bai Minglu stood aside, his hands lowered, and listened silently. For him, these government affairs are far from understanding. However, Shang Shi said that he had read enough of the Four Books and Five Classics, and what was missing was not the meaning of the scriptures, but the insight. This is very different from his brother Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe's four books and five business remarks from the township test papers, gave Bai Minghe a bad review.

But the white crane's insight is described as extremely good, and it is not enough to evaluate the white crane's vision and insight.

"Minglu, what do you think?" The merchant asked.

"Back to the teacher's words. The student was willing to persuade his brother to give him a helping hand, and the elder brother once said that among the people he respected the most, there was a seat for the public. What's more, my brother was also deeply grateful to the teacher for putting the students in the door. Coupled with my brother's affection, my brother will be willing! ”

Shang Chen, Yu Qian, Mao Sheng. The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Shang Shi felt that he was a little out of shape, and forced himself to hold back his laughter and waved his hand at Bai Minglu: "Minglu, the Bai Minghe you know is just your brother. The white-named crane we know is an official of the Ming Dynasty, so don't underestimate him. The strategy used by Bai Minghe before leaving Beijing was Yangmou, but even if Yangmou could see through his thoughts, there would be no more than ten people in the entire Ming Dynasty. ”

"That's right, even now, there are still some things that Ben General doesn't understand, how the white crane planned."

"Don't persuade you, you can't persuade you, and you won't be convinced. Don't say it's you, even if the official goes to the white crane in person, he may not sell his face in this matter. The white crane will never enter Beijing for no reason, and after hearing the news, the official is very nervous, because behind the white crane is long live today. ”

Yu Qian said tactfully.

In fact, it means that Bai Minglu is still young and doesn't know what officialdom is.

Bai Minglu hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for your teaching!" ”

Yu Qian nodded: "This time the white crane went to Beijing, I am afraid that many people will not be able to sleep well." ”

Peaceful, people who can't sleep well are not only in the capital. Since his debut, Bai Minghe has been shocked by not only those people in the capital in just a few months.

The prince had not slept well for two nights, and personally supervised the transport of batches of rice to the port of Pattaya. He carried a letter from his father in both Siamese and Chinese. The content is simply to show friendliness to the white crane.

The little prince wants only one now.

Not trade, but Battambang.

The Khmer province, which is less than 200 miles away from Pattaya, is also the capital of the Khmer and a huge threat to Pattaya, the largest port in Siam.

And what Xiao Xiao's father, the boss of the city, wants is to get huge benefits in the already chaotic Myanmar.

In this way, in the anticipation of the Siamese Kingdom, the fleet of the white crane was finally white. (To be continued......)
