Bai Minghe's mind is understandable to Yu Qian.

But Yu Qian's thoughts, Bai Minghe didn't understand this time. Yu Qian understood Bai Minghe's practice, which was to protect the lives of Ming soldiers. But have you ever thought about the white crane, what about Daming's face? Let the soldiers of the Ming vassal country go first, in case of a big defeat. You are losing the face of the Ming Dynasty, and it will also make the soldiers of the subject country suspicious of the military order.

A big country must have the bearing of a big country. Yu Qian didn't want to discuss this with Bai Minghe for the time being, after all, the war was still a little far away.

Two days later, the white crane held a feast.

said that it was a banquet, but there were not many people who actually ate in the hall, and the list was compiled by Zhang Feng from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. The list of nobles in Nanjing, princes from various provinces, high-ranking officials, merchant gangs, heads of courts, folk elders, and famous people in Jiangnan was set at ninety-nine.

Outside the main gate of the White Horse Pavilion, there is an undeveloped wasteland, which was originally intended to build two streets here, just like the street outside the Chunhui Garden in Guangdong, which is used for merchants to display goods and talk.

The difference here from Guangdong is that two new yamen have been added here.

One is the Anti-Smuggling Department of the Nanjing Household Department, and the other is the Chengshang Department of the Nanjing Criminal Department.

In this clearing, there is a flowing water seat, as long as you sit down, there will definitely be a meal.

Gao Gu, Yu Qian, Xu Chengzong, Sun Yuanzhen and other top bigwigs sat in the attic of the White Horse Pavilion, watching the bustle in the garden from a distance, as well as the noise outside the door.

"Banzai mentioned that when the white crane went south. Long live the promise of Bai Minghe, that is, Bai Minghe must really be able to earn back the silver from poor Hepu and give the official a million stone of grain to work. Thirty percent of the proceeds go to the white crane. Yu Qian said slowly with a wine glass.

At that moment, there were several sounds of wine glasses falling to the ground.

Xu Chengzong's eyes widened in shock: "Sancheng!" ”

"It's three percent, long live this. But the white crane did not accept the order, only said that the income was all long live and Ming, long live in his own hard work, and the reward of one hundredth or one thousandth is his white famous crane's blessing. Banzai recorded this incident in the palace Wannian file, and there were officials present at that time. ”

How many parts of a thousand? How many in 10,000?

None of those present could have figured it out.

Yu Qianyi, the saddle of the saddle, the posture of the spur, the illusion of the evil rock, the fan, the window, the sucking embarrassment, the embarrassment, the 6 Jia La, the son of the Xin Award, the chrysanthemum, the juju, the retort, the neck, the neck, the coffin, the sword, the sword>, the sword

Speaking of this, Yu Qian smiled helplessly: "This official borrowed a sentence from Banzai." Banzai said when he entered the file, I remember the big banquet in the city on the New Year, and the cost was very huge. Originally, I thought that the white crane was hard. Giving 30% is also a blessing. But for now. The white crane is not greedy. One percent is a very small percentage, but the white crane actually doesn't even take one thousandth, and he is a loyal and righteous person! ”

"How much is one percent?" Xu Chengzong asked.

Yu Qian replied: "Jin Lian said it." New Year's feast in Beijing. Even if you do it every day, and then connect Nanjing, Guangzhou, Xi'an, or find three or five more mansions, Bai Minghe may not be able to do it last year. But this year, perhaps, in two or three years, Bai Minghe will not be able to spend all his silver no matter what, and Bai Minghe is the same as this official, and he has nowhere to spend his silver! ”

Yu Qian has money and no place to spend it, because he is used to being thrifty.

Bai Minghe is not a wasteful person, nor has he pursued any luxury, and more importantly, he really has a lot of silver, so much so that Bai Minghe has silver and does not dare to spend it.

Gao Gu said at this time: "Bai Minghe is very good at being a man, you Yu Qian has arrived, and the big and small officials in Nanjing are here." Therefore, looking at the ceremonial room outside the door is enough to prove how good the white crane is. ”

"Lifang, reasonable!" Yu Qian agreed with Gao Gu's words.

What's in the Gift Room?

Pile up adult cakes, noodles, and local snacks, some are a jar of wine, and some are given a piece of bacon or a small bag of salt. It is not the poor people who can give gifts here, there are thousands of businesses recorded, large and small workshops, many weavers, craftsmen, and workshops have benefited from the new policy of the white crane, and they all have festive gifts.

One of the largest workshops is Nanjing Qianxiangfang.

It is a joint venture of more than 40 firms, with more than 5,000 craftsmen, and claims to be able to make 999 kinds of spices. Its annual output can be compared to the previous Ming Dynasty's spice production.

In such a large workshop, the congratulatory gift to Bai Minghe is a box of cakes, a package of noodles, a box of sugar, and a very ordinary set of four treasures of the study. That's all there is to it. In the current city of Nanjing, such a gift even costs half a tael of silver, at most two yuan.

"Yes, they are taking care of the reputation of the white crane, and if the white crane receives a lot of valuable gifts, I am afraid that the reputation will be damaged. At such an open banquet, expensive gifts will never be given. can make the people unanimously like this, proving that the white crane is very good at being a man. Yu Qian also praised it.

Gao Gu changed the topic at this time: "Lord Yu, why did you come to Nanjing?" ”

"For the sake of Hamiwei, we need to make the white crane sacrifice some interests. At present, almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows that the white crane trades at sea to earn silver quickly and easily. But the bitter cold land of Hamiwei is far from being compared with the sea. It is said that it is to let Bai Minghe sacrifice some interests, or it can be said that it is to make the entire circle of silver earners on his side make certain sacrifices. ”

Xu Chengzong laughed dryly.

Xu Chengzong smiled, and many officials in Nanjing, as well as several princes, also laughed.

"Hamiwei is a national policy and an important matter. Couldn't this official convince Bai Minghe? Yu Qian thinks that these people laugh because they may run for nothing, because this is the interests of the major business gangs and many people in Jiangnan, if they can't earn money, I'm afraid that even Bai Minghe will be embarrassed and can't face these people.

However, Yu Qian believed in the influence of the white crane in front of these people.

"It's not that I, Lao Xu, dare to laugh at the inappropriate national policy, but laugh. It is rumored that the white crane is your teacher when you are Yu Qian. But Yu Qian, you don't know as much about the white crane as my old Xu. It was a man who could conjure gold out of stones, not to mention Hamiwei, even in the bitter cold. ”

Yu Qian was puzzled.

Xu Chengzong told Yu Qian a story.

"Some time ago, when I was in the Xuanwu Lake Visiting Park, Lao Xu and I made a joke and asked Bai Minghe that there was no business in the world? Bai Minghe said that there are only difficult and good works, and there is nothing that cannot be done. Lao Xu, I casually pointed to a place, and Bai Minghe immediately said that there was a heavy treasure there, worth millions of stones of gold. It's just that at the moment, Da Ming doesn't have the ability to use that heavy treasure, and there is no way to make the heavy treasure a treasure. There is no waste, only how to use it. ”

"There?" Yu Qian asked.

"There is a real poor mountain and bad water at the border between the Duohuo Thorn Department and the Ming Dynasty." When Xu Chengzong mentioned this, no one believed that there would be treasures there, and they were treasures worth millions of stones of gold.

Here, in modern times, it is the north of the Kunlun Mountains and the south line of the Tarim Desert. There are several guards here in Daming, not just poor. There was no way to survive at all, and in the end, the locals were sealed and guarded by the locals at the border. And here, even foreign countries are not interested in starting, too poor, too bitter.

"What's there?" Yu Qian asked again.

I don't know, Shira's answer at the time was. No one understands it, and no one will use it if it is said, even if it is brought to the front, the current Daming will not be able to use it. Of course, if it can be used in fifty years, it will definitely be worth millions of stone gold. When Xu Chengzong said this, his tone was full of trust.

Yu Qian thought for a while and asked, "What about Hamiwei?" ”

"Do you know what is the most valuable business in Nanjing?" Xu Chengzong did not answer Yu Qian, but asked rhetorically.

Yu Qian naturally didn't know.

Xu Chengzong didn't sell it, and explained: "Merchants from all over the world, some people offer a high price of 10,000 taels of gold. I just asked Tuo Menlu to ask for a word from Bai Minghe, and only asked what their merchant gang should do. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, the matter is with Xie Yiyuan, a nephew of his own family is twenty-three this year and has just graduated from school. According to the rules of the Xie family, you must have three years to do things on your own to hone your temperament and accumulate experience. "It was Xiao Rong from Nanjing's household department who spoke, because he was in charge of the household department, and he had dealt with these big businessmen in the past.

Yu Qian heard the doorway and asked Xiao Rong to continue.

"That kid followed Xie Yiyuan to Guangzhou City, and when he saw Bai Minghe, he did the courtesy of a junior. is a kowtow, according to the rules of the first meeting, the white crane should have a red envelope. Let's not talk about him twenty-three, and the white crane is twenty. It is only said that Bai Minghe is very evasive about kneeling, so the nephew of Xie Yiyuan's own family doesn't want anything, just asks for a word, that is, to show him the way, so that he can do well in the past three years. ”

"What did the white crane say?" Many people came interested.

Bai Minghe said, let him go back and gather some craftsmen, not to ask for masters, just careful ordinary craftsmen. Go back to do only one business, and now a large number of products are stored first, and one day these goods will make him a blockbuster. The goods are very ordinary, one is the shaft of the yarn machine and the loom, the second is the spindle rod, the third is the thick cloth gloves, the fourth is the hat that can completely cover the hair at a cheap use, and the fifth is the tight-fitting clothing that is worn backwards. ”

The shaft of the yarn machine is easy to understand, and there are many yarn looms of Huishang, so the shaft naturally needs to be replaced regularly.

At the moment, there are ready-made ones, which can be replaced on the spot, and you can work more, this business is good.

But what about the rest?

Xiao Rong explained: "Not to mention the yarn spindle rod, when the output of this thing is large enough to a certain extent, it is not the amount of a few carpenters grinding a few a day, and there is a demand for hundreds of thousands of sticks every day only around 200 miles, and he has a stock." Fame is there. The gloves are very solid and not easy to grind. I don't feel like knitting a few pieces of cloth a month, but when I knit a dozen pieces of cloth a day, my hands must be gloved. The hat covers the hair and is not easy to roll into the machine, and the tight-necked garment worn backwards has no straps in the front and the cuffs are also tight. (To be continued......)
