On the second day of the Great Pilgrimage, Shirana Crane did not participate, and the things of this day were too boring. It was the official beginning of the trial of the salt industry and the corruption of officials at all levels, and the officials in the capital first handed in the self-punishment book, and then the following year's political outline. The cabinet and the six ministries officially began to review, and the important reports were submitted to the Ming Emperor for further finalization.

With a little money, Zhu Qiyu really doesn't feel anything.

just received a respect, Zhu Qiyu, who belongs to the crowd, will give an exoneration.

Those who belong to the center of corruption are to be punished separately according to the circumstances. Because he said in advance that he would confess and be lenient, this central figure was also divided into two kinds, one was like Gao Gu's hands, who earned money for the entire group and distributed it to officials at all levels according to the head, which belonged to the clerk, who was demoted to one level and retained for the crime.

Those who were greedy and black-hearted did not kill their heads, but exiled a few.

Bai Minghe didn't go, and Jin Lian didn't go either. He took a notebook, and there was only one sentence: The heart of the minister, heaven and earth can be learned!

Jin Lian didn't go, but guarded the white crane to check the account book.

The white crane's ledger is piled up in a warehouse, and the large and small accounts are all here.

"Lord Kim, I'm sincere enough!"

Jin Lian ignored the white crane, and flipped through the very clear account books marked by himself, what he wanted was not the total, if he wanted the total, please let the white crane say the number. What Jin Lian wants to see is the silver stream of the white crane.

"This little Luzon doesn't seem to have much benefit. A boatload of coconut fruit is only worth 300 taels of silver, but it has driven an industry worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you are 20 ships a day to Fujian, that is, Fujian benefits 200,000 taels of silver every day. Jin Lian's words surprised Bai Minghe.

"Lord Kim, do you know the gross national product?"

"I don't know!"

"But what you just said, my lord, is the concept of gross national product, the entire industrial chain driven by coconut fruit and all the value of the industry. Including transportation revenue, product revenue, driven by the market economic value. output value, etc. It is the gross national product brought by a boatload of olives. ”

"Reasonable! A boatload of olives can produce 3,000 catties of high-grade refined coconut oil, which is worth 3,000 taels of silver. And then the wages of the workers, the money of transportation. Then the residue produces a larger number of inferior coconut oil, mattresses and other miscellaneous items, which is another profit. It also brought many opportunities for the people to work. This total profit should be the total value. But how much do you profit from it? ”

"The actual purchase price of a boatload of coconuts should be within thirty taels. The cost of transportation by sea, plus the crew's wages, the cost of repairing the ship. This is a profit, and then the purchase of refined coconut oil, which can compete for a small spread. But this is all small money, and the point is that Fujian Province alone has an annual tax of more than 5 million taels of olives. Because there is no apportionment or pledge, the tax is a little higher than before, and the tax on the coconut oil mill is 10%, and the rest is half to 10%. ”

Jin Lian stared at the white crane, and the meaning was obvious.

Do you dare to even think of taxes?

"Lord Jin, it is estimated that after the New Year, the political envoy of Fujian will report it. Early March. Fujian will escort you with five million stones of rice, and three thousand stones of silver should be guaranteed. To think more. The household department and the criminal department must work hard not to make any official apportionment or forced donation. The new tax rate will be implemented by the merchants. ”

"This matter, Old Man Rong thinks about it for a moment or two, and the principle is to support you."

Jin Lianxin said that Fujian Province alone collects taxes that are almost close to those of the three provinces south of the Yangtze River. It is not impossible to do this by not allowing the yamen to apportion, so it is necessary to classify the officials and the officials according to what Bai Minghe said. The little people also have a hard subsidy, not by squeezing the words of the merchants. It is feasible to govern the Qing Dynasty.

Bai Minghe accompanied Jin Lian, and was going to go to the warehouse in the East Factory again.

Although the income of Wajima can be kept secret, since the Dongchang warehouse is not a secret, it cannot be hidden from Jinlian.

Jin Lian refused: "Lord Bai, what day is tomorrow?" ”

Bai Minghe touched his chin: "Tomorrow, it seems that you don't have to go to court tomorrow." It's a holiday. ”

Hahaha! Jin Lian smiled heartily: "This official finally understands the reason why Yu Qian said that you are a good official and a good minister." Tomorrow is the day of your wedding, and you forgot about it. Sue sù Benguan, what are you thinking at this time? ”

"I'm thinking, how did I coax you, some ledgers can not be read by you!"

"This official doesn't plan to look at all your account books, and some of them are afraid that only Banzai knows them." Jin Lian took out a small brocade bag from his pocket, and there was a small seal in it, and the size of the seal was only a little as big as a little finger: "Although this official is a household secretary, the money and property in charge are all Ming, and this small seal is an occasional piece of Tianhuang." ”

This stone is very soft to the touch, and the white crane doesn't know how to print, and he also knows that Tian Huang is a good thing.

"Lord Yang Shan sent an envoy to the Khmer, he found some gems similar to this soft stone, but Tian Huang did not have this, but there is a light blue is great, and he will ask someone to send a few pieces to Lord Jin to see if the engraved seal can be used. These were originally used as samples, and the price of whether to purchase or purchase has not yet been determined. There are a lot of goods to be graded and priced here, but one or two stones are not suitable for the people in the head of the courtyard. ”

"What's urgent, what's slow?"

"What can be eaten ranks first, food, medicine, supplement, and fruit. The one that can be worn is the second, the one that can be the instrument is the third, and the thing that can only be played purely is like a stone or something, which is naturally put backwards. ”

Jin Lian's perception of the white crane has changed a little, the luxury goods are huge, and the white crane pays attention to food and clothing, which is indeed different from ordinary people.

Jin Lian said a few polite words, saying that he had no relatives in the capital during the New Year, if Bai Minghe was not afraid of this old man's annoyance, Jin Lian planned to spend the New Year here in Bai Minghe, and by the way, he would help Bai Minghe identify the seal stone.

Nine out of ten Confucian ministers of the Ming Dynasty were calligraphers, and seals were trivial matters to him.

The next day, the white crane got married. The Ming Emperor accepted his retainers. Sacrifice to ancestors, etc., all put on one day, held in the Daming Taimiao, the white crane from morning to night is a poker face, but the mouth is silently counting: "Two hundred and sixty-one, two hundred and sixty-two!" Jin Ying was in charge of the rites on Bai Minghe's side, and when she heard the number in Bai Minghe's mouth, she just smiled.

He didn't have to ask, he knew what the white crane was counting.

Such a high sacrifice had been arranged in detail before.

There are a total of 399 large and small rituals, 28 of which are kneeling and 84 kowtowing. Even if this is the etiquette eighty-four, Bai Minghe's reaction is not surprising, I think that when the emperor was young, he was also like this.

"Rite over!" With the last sound of Yang Ning, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites on the stage, Bai Minghe's eyes immediately lit up.

Next, there are two different rituals. One is Mo Longjin Emperor Ming and bowed to Emperor Ming. The other is that the white crane is still holding another big wedding banquet in his house.

After three rounds of drinking, Bai Minghe finally saluted all the guests, and put the wine glass on the table: "Cave room!" ”

The entire banquet hall fell silent for a moment, and turned to laughter.

Bai Minghe's face turned white, because he felt an unusual smell, how could there be something embarrassing.

"White Crane, according to royal etiquette, you will have to be married for three days. On the first day, we worship our ancestors, on the second day, we worship heaven and earth, and on the third day, we congratulate our friends. Then you can enter the cave room, so ......" Yang Jun laughed and poured a large bowl of wine into Bai Minghe's mouth. A group of military attachés who had returned from the north also poured in.

There are a lot of white-named cranes, but they don't believe it, these dozens of people can't put down a single white-named crane.

At this time, the Ming Emperor arrived.

Attend the wedding of a courtier. Even if you marry a princess, it's a matter of courtiers entering the palace and kowtowing, and it's really rare to see it in person.

The white crane is already half drunk. began to take the initiative to find someone to fight, and the generals were all put down by him seven or eight, and Yang Jun had already gotten under the table and was unconscious.

"Hooray!" Ministers of status came to greet them.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and returned the salute, signaling that there was no need to call Bai Minghe, just let Bai Minghe's study be vacated and use it himself. Then he led the ministers to the study.

As said before. Even if it was a life-and-death feud yesterday, we have to meet with a smile on our faces this year.

The white crane got married, and Hu Hu, who couldn't wait to bite him to death, also came, and Hu Hu's name was on the banquet list for three consecutive days. This is the magnanimity of Confucianism, which divides public and private. In private, Hu Hu still admires Bai Minghe very much.

Entering the white crane study, Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I gave Mo Longguo the surname, and I originally planned to bring him with me." Think about it, let him indulge for a few days, his preferences are different from ordinary people, he doesn't like young and beautiful, but he likes a little charm. I gave him thirty maids who had originally left the palace in the palace, hoping that he would be able to walk to the main hall by himself during the New Year's feast. ”

Zhu Qiyu said very tactfully.

They are all big people, and these words can be understood naturally.

Mo Long likes the mature royal sister level, and then the Ming Emperor gave thirty old virgins in the palace who were already close to madness. Thinking about it, these thirty wolf-like palace maids in the past few days are very likely to have squeezed Mo Long dry.

"Sit down!" Zhu Qiyu pointed to the chair in the white crane study.

Sitting behind the desk, Zhu Qiyu picked up a book that had not yet been bound on the small shelf next to him and looked at it casually, reading astronomy. Zhu Qiyu can't understand this book, and it can be said that he can't touch the edge at all, and what milky ways, galaxies, nebulae, planets, etc., are not sticky to the knowledge he has been in contact with.

Seeing the courtiers sit down, Zhu Qiyu put the book back on the shelf.

In the eyes of Zhong Aiqing, the white-named crane may be crazy. But I knew that he was very sensible and very calmly made a detailed plan. The Great Tomorrow is mine, and I know that the White Crane has some secrets. I asked Bai Minghe, and Bai Minghe truthfully told me eight numbers, saying that these eight numbers were all the secrets of his status as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. I came to his study to see what these eight numbers represented, so let's start looking for what is damaged. ”

Is Shira-Na Crane drunk?

A little drunk, he knew that Emperor Ming went to his study.

Daming is so big, Bai Minghe clearly knows that the only thing he can hide is in his heart, and the rest can't be hidden, because this is Daming. A Ming who is not a secret of any substance for himself. (To be continued......)

PS: Wait two more days, and I'll give you a small outbreak.
