Shu Liang asked the most concerned question about the East Factory. Not silver, but steel.

Bai Minghe has also considered this problem, and it is not appropriate to hand it over to the military purely , and it is difficult to say that some of the secrets have been passed on, at least at the moment when the technology is not popularized, at least when there are still enemies around Daming.

"That's right, on the side of the Hundred Refining Sect, the sect is under our control. The Tangshan workshop is also our East Factory, but it is only in the rest of the crude steel mills to the Ministry of War. The stainless steel on the Wajima Island, the military department is sixty percent, and how to divide the profits. I just want you to arrange a few reliable people, and the method of refining steelmaking in the Hundred Refining Sect cannot be passed on. ”

Shu Liang nodded in agreement with Bai Minghe's statement.

At this time, in the Daming Palace, someone went to inquire about the news of Bai Minghe, so naturally he had to report.

After Xing'an finished reporting on the side, he asked again: "Long live the old slave, do you need to find a way to secretly find out what topics have been talked about in Nangong?" ”

"Is it necessary?" Zhu Qiyu's tone is not good, in the opinion of the Ming Emperor, since he chooses to trust, he must insist on trust!

Xing'an didn't understand the meaning of Emperor Ming's words for a while, but he just bowed down and stood aside without daring to speak.

"You people always have conspiracy in your head. There's nothing wrong with that, though, it's good to be careful. I've heard the phrase that the royal family has no family, but there is only one of my blood brothers. The ancestors and the ancestors are watching, some things can be done, and some things are overdone, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain when I see the ancestors and the ancestors in the future. ”

Zhu Qiyu's words can only be told to people close to and trust, but even cronies have reservations

Xing'an didn't even dare to answer. Just keeping his head down, he heard it anyway.

It's just that the secret arrangement of Long Live made Bai Minghe see what the emperor's intentions were, but Xing'an couldn't figure it out. asked Jin Ying once, and Jin Ying also said that he didn't know, but Xing'an thought that Jin Ying must know, at least guessed something. But I didn't tell myself about it at all.

"I heard that there are still some people who have been active in Tianjin Wei in recent days?" Zhu Qiyu put the topic aside.

"Hooray, according to the meaning of the old slave. Tianjin Wei might as well be replaced, it's not good to always be so memorable. Xing'an mentioned yì on the side.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked, "Do you have a good plan?" ”

"The slave doesn't dare to have a good plan, and some shallow views ask the long-lived master to correct. The old slave thought. Awarded the post of Governor of Fan Liangzuo. Guarding Tianjin and Daning. ”

"This building is good, is there anything better?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Xing'an shook his head: "The old slave doesn't care about the army, and it is long live to have these shallow views on military affairs." ”

Zhu Qiyu is still quite useful for Xing'an's words: "Bai Minghe has a copy of the book, and he will take the position of the British Gongjing Division." The capital division was changed to the five military governors to guard the periphery. The inner city is guarded by Jinyi, Jinwu, and Inner City Guards. The four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison are mainly deployed to the north of the Beijing Division. The forbidden army camp is distributed in the Forbidden City. ”

"The old slave is stupid. The British public ......, "Xing'an doesn't know how to ask."

The white crane has a good relationship with the British public account, and this will inevitably turn against him if he takes the position of the British public capital division. And even long live is not easy to say to the British public. After all, he was the great hero of the founding of the country. Yongzhen's statement is definitely Taizu's training.

"As for the English House, there is naturally an errand. Tianjin, Pingping, Daning, Guangning, Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Weihai, Dengzhou, Laizhou. Ten guards in one, the governor of the Bohai Sea of the Ming Dynasty, the chief of the safety of the Ming Jingshi near the sea, responsible for the training of the Ming royal sailors. ”

What a Ming royal sailor.

Let's not talk about these ten guards, just talk about this Ming royal sailor governor, and the British prince will definitely be moved.

Zhu Qiyu's words changed: "However, this matter is accurate." But can you pass on the guò in the court, you go and pass on my words. Let's just let the white crane do it himself. ”

Xing'an retired, what he needed to report was over, and what he needed to ask had an answer.

He shouldn't know, and no one will sue him.

Xing'an exited the study, and Jin Ying came out of the side room. What he was holding in his hand was a few copies of the manuscript that he was discussing with Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty just now, one of which was about the establishment of the Ming Imperial Naval Division, but it was not the Bohai Division, in fact, the real name of the Bohai Naval Division was:

Ming Imperial Praetorian Guard.

For external expansion, the Royal Nanjing First Naval Division, the Royal Bay Island Second Naval Division, the Royal Guangdong Third Naval Division, as well as the Daming Fujian Naval Division, the Qiongdao Nanhai Naval Division, the Andong Coastal Guard, the Dandong Coastal Guard, the Daming Naval Division 1 to 5, and the ocean-going fleet. These are non-combat fleets.

Jin Ying put the manuscripts back on the imperial case.

"Long live, the old slave thinks that what Qingliu is thinking about now is to use the hands of the white crane to clear the accumulation of officialdom, and by the way, earn some reputation for himself among the people. They may think that the white crane is a good chess piece, and send people there just to get to know the white crane better. As Banzai feared, if the Manchu dynasty was full of clear streams, it would empty the imperial power. ”

Zhu Qiyu didn't answer, but just asked: "What you said, is it true that what you said about the change of the Civil Forts on the Forbidden Palace's secret record is really true?" ”

"Old slave courage, long live, do you dare to write a lie in the Taimiao?" Kim Young asked a very bold question.

Zhu Qiyu accepted this rhetorical question.

It can be stored in the secret record, what the emperors of the Ming Dynasty wrote by themselves, and it was written in the Taimiao, in front of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, even if Zhu Qiyu chopped his hands, he didn't dare to write a lie, and he didn't even dare to use two words.

"You go and sue the white name crane...... Zhu Qiyu didn't think about what to say, I can't say that I don't want Qingliu to get this good reputation for clearing the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Before this battle started, he attacked his comrades-in-arms, which is too inauthentic.

Jin Ying bowed and saluted: "Long live, Bai Minghe has been in the capital since the first day, and he doesn't know what to say to Qingliu about the old slave." But it's true that he hates Baguwen very much, and he hates the current imperial examination. ”

"Seems reasonable!" Zhu Qiyu also recalled the bits and pieces of the white crane.

Jin Ying said again: "Long live can it be denied that the white crane has an earth-shattering talent, that is, Zhuge Wuhou of the late Han Dynasty who has the talent of ghosts and gods in the market, I am afraid that it may not be able to compare with the white crane." Such a person is only the last rank when he takes the township test? ”

"Do you mean that there are many talents among those who fail in the township examination?"

"Hooray, I believe that in less than half a year, the white crane will be able to prove this. The old slave just wanted to say that the old slave only needed to hint at the white crane, and the fruit trees planted should not be made by others. ”

"Okay, that's a good one."

Zhu Qiyu said in his heart, with the character of a white crane, how could he rob himself of his hard-earned gains?

nodded, and agreed with Jin Ying's statement.

Before continuing to talk about the new water master built yì mentioned by Bai Minghe, Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth and asked: "I have read the palace expenses in your newspaper, but I have not thought that ordinary people will spend a few taels of silver a year on their lives. ”

"I don't know if you're asking about the poor, or a family of food and clothing, or a family of the little rich. If it is an ordinary poor person, a family of five people calculates that they need at least twenty taels of silver for food, clothing, and shelter a year, of course, they may never have seen silver, but the food they eat and the clothes they wear are naturally folded into silver taels. ”

"Yes, go on!" Zhu Qiyu closed the notebook in front of him, it was interesting to listen to Jin Ying talk about these things.

Jin Ying continued: "Long live, the biggest expense of the people at the moment is not to eat, although the Ming Dynasty has not been very stable in the past two years, but the price of grain is still good, a young man needs three taels of silver a year, and it is naturally impossible for a family to eat no meat at all, but it is also two or three taels of silver." Whether the vegetables are planted or bought, the family also needs a few taels of silver a year. The most expensive thing is to wear it, and the price of cotton has been very expensive in the past two years, and one or two pieces of silver can buy fifteen catties of cotton. ”

Jin Ying's calculations are very fine, and the firewood, wood, oil, and salt are not bad.

From the beginning to the end, Kim Young's calculations did not mention the destitute family.

At least it is also the lowest food and clothing line, and then it is a very comfortable food and clothing line, and there are three levels of worry-free food and clothing.

At the end, Jin Ying mentioned Yu Qian again.

Yu Qian's actual annual income is about 700 taels of silver, and the reward for the New Year's Festival is only 1,000 taels. But Yu Qian's family, housekeepers, coachmen, cooks, etc., all need him to pay their wages. A coachman will take up about fifty taels of silver a year, but the sedan driver will cost four people, and the cost will be two hundred taels.

Since he is a second-rank official, he must have the life of a second-rank official.

"It seems that the white crane is not bad, in terms of the second grade of the DPRK, the servants of the family, etc., plus enough food and clothing of the second grade, naturally there is still some pomp, at least 10,000 taels of silver a year."

"Hooray, you've underestimated the cost of rewarding the servants and buying some valuables at home."

What Jin Ying said was reasonable, but Zhu Qiyu didn't understand: "The treasury can only deposit two million taels of silver in a year, where does the silver come from and where does it go?" ”

Jin Ying naturally understood the meaning of Zhu Qiyu's words.

"Hooray, the white crane actually didn't dare to say a word to Banzai. In fact, the Ming Dynasty is rich in officials, businessmen, and the people. Only the treasury was the poorest, and he spoke only of salt. As Bai Minghe calculated, according to the calculation of five to eight catties of salt eaten by one person, one catty of salt is 300 wen, and the next year's output of 6 million quintals of salt is 180 million taels, and the handover to the treasury is only 1.14 million taels, so the officials, businessmen, and people have 180 million taels of silver to share. It's just salt! ”

Zhu Qiyu understood and understood Jin Ying's words.

He has been in contact with Jin Ying for a long time.

At this time, the meaning of Jin Ying's words was obvious, Bai Minghe was only a salt introduction, and it was not only the greedy officials who were cut off with one knife, but also the income of countless eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Jin Ying dared to ask Bai Minghe for the eunuchs' share of the incorruptible silver.

Whether a piece of honest silver can really guarantee integrity, no one knows, and the Ming Emperor is not very convinced. (To be continued......)

PS: No matter how busy you are, you won't stop changing.

The quality is also absolutely guaranteed.
