The city of Guangzhou seems to have calmed down, and everyone has returned to their former peaceful life.

More than a month has passed since the Japanese left Guangdong. With less than two months to go until the New Year, officials in Guangdong and Fujian are nervously awaiting the approval of their political commissions and the first amount of money to be paid for before the New Year.

Because Hu Hui, the veteran of the Four Dynasties, was in Guangzhou City, since the patriarch did not react, it seems that this silver can really be held in his hand with confidence, which is much better than the previous fear.

There are three places in Guangdong that are busy right now.

One is the courtyard responsible for the preliminary examination of the political outlines of the officials of the two provinces. One is to plot to further infiltrate the courtyard of Little Luzon. The last one is the yard that decides the share plan of each merchant gang next year.

It is said that there are three courtyards, but in fact they are all in Chunhui Garden.

Several guests were brought into Chunhui Garden, they were important guests, and there were enough people to escort them. But they are not very distinguished guests, and at present, the four products in Chunhui Park are all petty officials, so naturally no one will go to greet these guests.

There is only one person in charge of greeting him, and that is Qinghe. Sun Yuanjun's stomach was already rising, even if she wanted to go, the palace maids in the garden would definitely not let her go out. Qinghe went to greet Bai Minghe's father as the daughter-in-law of the Bai family, as well as several elders from the Bai family.

"My husband is busy, and there are dozens of files to be read every day. The affairs of Guangdong are all over with the husband, not because the husband doesn't understand the rules, but we really don't dare to disturb. These days may seem peaceful, but they are not. So I discussed with my wife, old lady, you didn't let your husband know about it. ”

Qinghe was explaining to Bai Minghe's father, Bai Chongxi.

Bai Chongxi naturally knows what his son's identity is now, not to mention the identity of the attached horse. The Guanzhong Liu family gave themselves the claim that Bai Minghe was the de facto governor of the two provinces. Or even the governors of three or four provinces. If an official from the third rank or lower wants to see a white crane, he must report at least one day in advance.

"You have worked hard to take care of Minghe, and Minghe is busy with business, so he naturally has to have less personal feelings. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and ...... family members," Bai Chongxi was saying, and now there was a noble person at the intersection, obviously a middle-aged man in a high position. There was murder in his eyes, and the momentum emanating from his body was frightened.

Qinghe bowed lightly on the side, and before the gift was finished, the one had already walked over like the wind.

Qinghe hurriedly said to Bai Chongxi: "The one who walked over just now is the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, Yu Qianyu Lord!" ”

Bai Chongxi was not a little surprised, he could see such a big man here.

was about to speak, but saw Yu Qian kick a door open, and scolded: "Bai Minghe, you are going to reverse the sky." See what you've done? Fanbang vassal state. You dare to let people kill a river of blood and take the throne of a different king. Is there a great Ming law in your eyes, is there still a Manchu dynasty in your eyes, and you can still tolerate me Yu Qian in your eyes......"

Yu Qian was furious because he received a report.

The report is very detailed, and Yang Shan has perfectly completed the things that Bai Minghe has confessed, and has formed a closer alliance with Siam. At the same time, he supported the younger brother of the Khmer king and went directly to the palace. killed the former Khmer king and his ministers cleanly. It's really a river of blood.

Not counting the dead soldiers, hundreds of Khmer nobles alone died.

Bai Chongxi was frightened in a cold sweat, and the elders of the Bai family behind him were even weaker, and they couldn't move a step.

But there was an unhurried voice from Bai Minghe in the house: "Yu Gong first sit down and drink a cup of tea to dissipate his anger." It's not good for your heart to be so excited all the time, and you're not young anymore. ”

"Bastard!"

Yu Qian closed the door heavily. Several guards hurried to the door, and two of them stood in front of the door.

"Old lady, why don't we go to the side courtyard first?" Qinghe was also nervous, and his speech was a little uncomfortable.

Bai Chongxi reacted, nodded hurriedly, and walked out almost trotting along the same road. Bai Chongxi breathed a sigh of relief when he went to the cave gate, he was just an ordinary small person, and he still had some power in the Bai family. But it was a top official who was angry, think about how many people were stunned when the Xi'an prefect was angry, this one is much bigger than the prefect.

"This, Minghe ......" Bai Chongxi didn't know what he should ask.

Qinghe whispered: "You can't talk about things in the garden outside of this cave door, this is the rule of Chunhui Garden. But don't worry, Master, a few days ago, Lord Yu rushed into the husband's study with a knife, and today he was at least empty-handed. It's definitely going to be fine, but the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to ask more on business. ”

"Naturally, I don't dare to ask about business." Bai Chongxi only felt that his clothes were already soaked, and they were wet with sweat.

In addition to the main courtyard, Chunhui Garden also has several side courtyards, as well as several newly renovated and expanded courtyards. This is the future exhibition hall, so it is impossible to pile it all up in the garden.

There is a pretty good inn in the side yard, and Qinghe, who came from the Bai family, had to arrange it here first.

At the same time, Bai Hong was called over, and now these little guys of the Bai family are Bai Hong, who has been walking in front of Bai Minghe.

Qinghe is a concubine after all, and it is impossible for her to stay here for long. Even if it is to entertain Bai Chongxi, it is impossible for Sun Yuanjun or Huaiyu to come forward at the moment, after all, the identity of the princess is here. So Bai Hong became the most suitable arrangement.

"Say hello to the third master, ...... to the second uncle" Bai Hong came in after all, it was the Bai family, so he kowtowed to the elders in the family first.

"Bai Hong, Minghe has been working hard lately!" Bai Chongxi is caring about his son.

"Back to the third master, the young master has a daily diet arrangement with the imperial kitchen in the palace, and there will be a medical officer every two days to check the pulse. In recent days, I have not even been qualified to get close to the study, and the files in the study are all important things at the moment, and I dare not inquire or think about anything. I can only reply to the third master, you know, if it is not related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it will not be sent in. ”

A sense of pride rose in Bai Chongxi's heart.

His own son has really done great things.

"Before I came, Madame sent someone to make arrangements. When you go to the sea to see the scenery, the city of Guangzhou naturally has to go around. If the third master wants to go to a foreign country to see, it can also be arranged. There is only one thing, I don't dare to let people know that you are the father of the young master. ”

"Why?"

Bai Chongxi said in his heart, what else is strange about this.

"It's not that I'm worried about anything, it's the end of the year. There are many people who want to see the young master, if they know your identity, I am afraid that it will bring you some unnecessary trouble. Mrs. Qinghe has not been out in the park for almost half a month, not because she can't, but she doesn't dare to go out. ”

"Tell me?" Bai Chongxi was even more curious.

"That's right, last time Mrs. Qinghe went out. Before the carriage left the street, the gift boxes of the various merchants alone buried the carriage. Coupled with the new samples of each business, the whole street was blocked. If it weren't for the guards who went out to pick up the people, they could really bury the wagons for all kinds of goods. ”

As soon as Bai Hong explained, the Bai family was so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

If you really want to say the reason, it's a simple sentence.

For any piece of goods, as long as Bai Minghe says a good word, this business name is a profit of 100,000 taels of silver a year. Even if you don't have the money to start a workshop, there will be many people who come to the door with silver tickets, and it is easy to discuss whether to participate in shares or borrow.

In the new year's procurement plan, bulk commodities must be set in advance.

For white linen alone, there are now more than 30 businesses in Guangdong alone. It's not that their goods can't be sold, but that the white crane chooses it, which means that it will be better than other businesses. It will not earn more than others in overseas trade, but when it is sold in Daming, it is at least three to half a percent more than the ordinary price, and the rest of the small businesses that sell goods in retail will rush to ask for it.

Some Bai Hong didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Even he didn't dare to say it to Bai Minghe's father.

For example, the order quantity of the white crane to the white linen cloth is true. The quantity is so large that all the businesses in Guangdong have brought all the goods, and it can't reach the number that Bai Minghe really needs, but this number is still top secret at the moment, and those who know it dare not say it.

Daming is not modern, the leak is just a loss of official position, but it will really kill the head.

"Don't talk outside after business, read more books to have a good future in the future." Bai Chongxi, as an elder, naturally has some encouragement for Bai Hong.

An elder of the Bai family, who is Bai Hong's own grandfather, also said: "Work hard, you must be diligent in your legs and feet, don't gossip too much." Be respectful to people, the ones who can enter this garden are bigger than our Bai family, and don't add some trouble to the third room. ”

"Yes, yes!" Bai Hong just nodded repeatedly.

The Bai family is also a small gentry of a prestigious family in Guanzhong, not as good as the four families in Guanzhong, but they can also rank in the top ten. There is also some marriage with the four families of Guanzhong, especially the second aunt of the white crane, which is the daughter of the serious Liu family of the four families of Guanzhong.

At present, there are not a few people who want to marry the Bai family, even if a child of a branch family like Bai Hong can marry a woman who has a door and has read books.

Several clan elders are telling Bai Hong the truth of being a man, and they also let Bai Hong see that the children of the Bai family who followed Bai Minghe to Guangdong can be seen if they are free.

"Fourth uncle, your family's Bai Feng got military merits this time, he went to sea to kill two pirates, and a few days ago, the Japanese came to Guangdong to pay tribute, and they cut down a Japanese man who was not long-eyed. At present, he is General Yang Xiao's personal guard, and the future is immeasurable. ”

Bai Hong told all the children of the Bai family one by one.

Only the matter of the white crane was not mentioned, and the matter of the white crane was no longer qualified to be heard by the elders of the Bai family.

At this time, the white crane was suffering from Yu Qian's anger.

Such a big thing, Yu Qian didn't know a word in advance, and he had to say that these people in Guangdong were still very strict-mouthed, and it wasn't until Deng Hailong sent three hundred elite Ming troops on the ship to Siam that Yu Qian found out that things were a little strange. After several inquiries, I finally learned that Bai Minghe had a black hand on the Khmer. (To be continued......)
