It turned out that the high-spirited white crane suddenly looked embarrassed.

"This, this official is really embarrassed. There are some things that the official doesn't know, but he originally brought some craftsmen from the palace, steamed essential oils, finely ground powder, and many dried flower petals, all kinds of bark, grass roots, and the like. There's got to be a container for these things! ”

Bai Minghe said, walking to a huge wine jar: "This is called ylang-ylang." There are not many in Siam, but there are a lot of them in another place, this essential oil is very good, how to be a good law official has not studied these, but several palace maids in the palace have said that this essential oil is a tribute, it is also a top grade! ”

Shira-nae Crane really doesn't know any of this. is also telling the truth, but his words of the truth make people feel good. It's not a rumor that the white crane is very knowledgeable, but anyone who knows the name of the white crane will label him as knowledgeable.

Such a person does not know how to pretend to understand, and already has excellent moral character.

The old man stepped forward to smell it, and after a moment of aftertaste, he arched his hand: "My lord, this is a waste of things." Such essential oils need to be sealed with fine porcelain, although this jar of wine will not leak, but the essence of it is lost from the invisible pores of the pottery, it can be said that every day with such a jar, the grade of this fine product will be lowered! ”

With that, the old man looked at the rest of the things.

"This kind of powder for adults should be ......, high-grade dipterocarp incense ice, and Yungui's goods are compared to this, which is the difference between heaven and earth, but unfortunately the adults are poorly preserved. The bottle containing this powder must be double-layered, and the bottom of the bottle must be sandwiched with pottery. The powder is packed into the bottle and sealed with a linen, and the bottom layer should be wrapped with quicklime with a linen cloth to remove moisture......"

The old man can tell the flowers in a bottle.

Bai Minghe has dozens of spices on display here, and the old man actually knows half of them. It can be said that the bottles of each type are different.

"You bring these back, there are one hundred and forty-seven kinds of spices here in this official. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't even recognize a fraction of what I can recognize. Several major merchant gangs are gathering good craftsmen who have a deep research on spices and medicinal materials, and they always have to make a list of these spices. Don't say that the task given to you is heavy, the Jiangxi Gang is responsible for the bottles of various essential oils, only 1.3 million. The rest is still in the design. ”

After listening to Bai Minghe's speech, Chaozhou gave the old man a salute: "Can we be allowed to discuss together?" ”

"Top 10 Merchant Gangs. Your Cantonese Gang is also one of them. Some special spices cannot withstand transportation and must be processed at the place of origin. This official has already given the regulations, and he is temporarily responsible for the deployment with the Hui Gang Xie Lao. Go ahead and get down to business, remember the promise you made to the official, if you can't do it, you will be fined for another year next year! ”

"Thank you, sir!" The people of the merchant gang here in Guangdong saluted in unison.

These things are naturally easy to transport and are themselves used as samples. White cranes believe that let them go to steam essential oils. Definitely far more than this in terms of quality.

After saying this, Bai Minghe turned his head.

"Come, get the letter from the official to the Fujian Business Gang. Right here, let them see for themselves. If you are not satisfied, it is not too late to defend yourself, if you are convinced. And he did so. ”

Bai Minghe actually has already made an opinion on the handling of the Fujian Merchant Gang, and it seems that Bai Minghe has already understood.

Since the faith is public, it needs to be read out in public. The Fujian Merchant Gang chose a young man to start reading. The first sentence is that the Fujian merchant gang fined 8 million taels of silver.

A fine of eight million taels of silver. One sentence frightened the entire Fujian merchant gang, and also frightened the people who watched the excitement.

If you add up the family property of all the merchants in Fujian, it may not be able to reach these 8 million taels, is such a huge number to force people to death?

The man who was obviously not ordinary wanted to speak, but was stopped by the representative of the Fujian Merchant Gang. The first old man: "Lord Bai, our Fujian merchant gang discussed it before we came. For the benefit of children and grandchildren. Even if you leave your life today, you won't refuse at all. The eight million taels of fines were recognized by our Fujian Gang. ”

"Go on!" The white-named crane was expressionless.

Second, the Fujian Gang should send 30,000 carpenters.

30,000 people, this is a carpenter, this is not as simple as pulling a farmer at random.

Gritted teeth. Recognize it again. If 30,000 carpenters really can't do it, they will go to the north to buy slaves, and they will also give this number.

Third, within a year, Fujian must study five kinds of high-grade tribute-grade tea, and it must be able to compete with Longjing's real famous tea.

This is a big difficulty, Fujian is mountainous, more tea, since the Tang and Song dynasties, the tea business is excellent, but when it comes to being famous, although Fujian's tea has tribute, but compared with the famous Longjing, there is really no one that can be compared with the tea, but the white crane wants five kinds, which is to force people to death.

"My lord, if you can't do this tea thing. Please use the head of the little old man to give the dolls another year! ”

"That is to say, you should be punished by your own officials." Shira's tone remained calm.

The people of the Fujian Gang said in unison: "It's time to go!" ”

"Okay, let's start with eight million taels of silver. This official needs to find trouble with some people recently, and they don't take our Daming seriously. Banzai also believes that they should be taught some lessons. Qiongdao coconut oil heard that you have prepared a new business with no less than 500 people for the official, and refined 100,000 barrels of coconut oil for the official every year, and for every 1,000 barrels exceeded, the official will be rewarded with one stone of gold. The purchase price of each barrel was thirty taels of silver. ”

Hiss...... Everyone was taken aback, what a high price.

At present, there are coconut oil sellers, most of which are used by women to wipe their hair, and only a few people use it to eat. Because it is too expensive, it is not sold for eight catties of silver for about five cents in the market. It's the price of one stone of rice.

But the purchase price of the white crane is almost a pound of silver.

"The coconut oil that adults want should be different from the ordinary goods sold in the market, please solve your doubts!"

"I'm going to squeeze it cold. Go and study the oil extraction machine, otherwise 100,000 barrels is not a small number. ”

100,000 barrels is three million taels of silver. If it is doubled, then it is six million taels of silver plus the reward of the white crane, and the reward of 100,000 barrels is one hundred stones of gold, and another 1,600,000 taels of silver, and it seems that this alone will be topped by the eight million taels of silver of the white crane.

If you do it later, you will earn it yourself. With such a huge business, I am afraid that half of Fujian can be involved.

"Fujian has eight mountains, one water and one field. There are many mountains and trees, and 30,000 carpenters were sent to Fujian to help build ships. Each person is given eight stones of rice every month, and excellent workers can give thirty stones, and those shipwrights have no problem with 100 stones a month. There is no cap, you are responsible for the organization. Each of you can take a 10% of your wages. ”

It's not a lot to hear.

It can be calculated on a yearly basis, and this year just by organizing manual labor and taking a commission, there will be an income of no less than 400,000 stone of rice. It's big business. In any small business, you will be scared by this business.

"The last one!" Bai Minghe stretched out his hand and threw out a book: "This is some of the official's experience of Fujian tea." Don't always stare at green tea, Fujian's black, white, and black teas are all top colors. The official's comprehension of tea is not good, but it is just to give you an introduction, and the tea is ready, and the official will collect five million taels of silver from you a year. ”

"Thank you, Lord for your grace!" The people of the Fujian merchant gang knelt down in unison.

Bai Minghe waved his hand: "The task of each family is not light, don't pay attention to the small amount of millions of taels." This money will be deducted from you for each transaction. While supplies last. Let's go to a meeting with the other merchants, there are some small things that you can't do. ”

Fujianese people are trembling with excitement.

The onlookers were scared, millions of taels of silver are small money, you look at the head of the household book to see that this is not true. But Bai Minghe really said it in front of so many people.

The white-named crane will never tell them, and the output value of hundreds of millions of taels of silver every year can be digested by themselves. If pure trade is not enough, there is absolutely no problem with using cannons and trade. Southeast Asia is huge, but there is also Central Asia. What about Europe.

But they didn't know that the people of the Jiangnan Three Gang had gone crazy. The white-named crane opened every gang. Tea alone costs 8 million taels. Linen directly demanded three thousand looms per gang. It must be prepared before the New Year.

What is the imperial merchant, the white crane holds a heavy army and controls the lifeblood of trade.

Shiraima understands that as long as he wants, he can even control the economy of the entire earth in the future. And no one beats it!

sent it to the Fujianese, and Bai Minghe bowed in front of the obviously big man: "At this time, can you report to your home?" ”

"Xu Chengzong, an official in Nanjing, is the governor of the Chinese army. He was in charge of military affairs in Nanjing. The ancestor was awarded the title of Duke of Wei! ”

Bai Minghe's heart twitched, this is the real big man, the prince of the country. The descendants of Xu Da, known as the king of Nanjing, are the Xu family of the Duke of Wei.

"No wonder, I felt a cold murderous aura just now. Guogong is a man who has been on the battlefield! Bai Minghe smiled and saluted again, if he wanted to show a very respectful look at this time, this lord would not like it.

Xu Chengzong nodded: "This time, Fujian Dusi is my brother's personal soldier back then. This old man wants to give face. The Fujian Merchant Gang has contributed a lot to the Fujian Capital Division over the years, and if it weren't for them, all the ships in Fujian would have rotted in the sea. Therefore, the old man of the Fujian businessmen also came to ask for face. ”

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"You're smart, but you're ruthless enough. All the oil mills in Fujian combined, can not squeeze 30,000 barrels of oil a year. You're forcing them to pay attention to craftsmen, and only better workshops and better techniques can complete your tasks. Merchants die for money, and the wealth you give is too great, and they will do their best to get things done. ”

Bai Minghe smiled: "This is also for Da Ming!" ”

"How's the North Defense?" Xu Chengzong called Yang Neng over, and at the same time motioned for Bai Minghe to enter the hospital to talk with him.

After entering the courtyard, Bai Minghe said: "There are no two million taels of silver a year in Xuanfu, so don't think about being strong and strong." Yu Gong was embarrassed, and Banzai was also worried. Therefore, I proposed to use Kong Ming's strategy of six expeditions to the Central Plains to attack instead of defend. Yu Gong accepted my advice, but narrowed the scope of his attack to the Hetao! (To be continued......)

PS: Third update.

When I woke up, I felt pleasantly surprised, pleasantly surprised, and reflective.

In fact, human beings must be greedy, and their desires promote human progress.
