Section 037 The White Mansion Guest Comes to the Door

How could Bai Minghe not break out in a cold sweat, he also thought that people like Yu Qian and Shang Qian should be able to look to the future and not be completely bound by Confucianism.

But Chen Xun has already told the white crane very strictly, you have already crossed the line.

The TV series said how terrible the Ming Donglin Party is, and the scribes control the government and the like, there is really no immersion, and the things on TV are always virtual. You must know that the current emperor is also supported by you Yu Qian, but you Yu Qian shouted that the entire capital should use the courtesy of the monarch and ministers to welcome the emperor.

Now, what's the matter with letting the emperor replace his son with the crown prince. Is this emperor just an overkill?

Sure enough, the loyal ministers of ancient times were very two.

In fact, Yu Qian was not wrong. The world is orthodox, and the emperor's younger brother became the emperor temporarily, so you should return the throne to your brother's son after you die. This is orthodoxy. The matter of the two brothers of the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty was scolded by the literati for many years, thinking that this would lose the virtue of heaven.

Yu Qian just works in line with his own morality and his own justice, and stands up to the sky and the earth for others!

"What are you going to do?" Chen Xun asked Bai Minghe again.

Bai Minghe laughed: "I want to be in Guanzhong Bai Minghe, full of poetry and books, loyal to the liver and courage, and the most particular about the word 'loyalty' in the world." Lord Shousuke, watch my white crane break this game. ”

Chen Xun clapped his hands, but instead of applauding the white crane, he let the old servant outside the door come in. The two small compartments behind the old servant carried a box, and Chen Xun said at this time: "The old man specially chose a meeting gift for you, and the old man is a little tired today, so he won't leave you for luncheon." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shousuke!" The white-named crane salutes.

Bai Minghe was about to leave, but Chen Xun suddenly said something again: "That matter, the old man should be persuaded by you!" ”

The white crane naturally understands the meaning of this sentence. It's a matter of changing the prince.

It was the carriage of the Chen Mansion that sent Bai Minghe back to the house, but the gate of this mansion could not enter, and there were more than 20 carriages parked on the street outside the door. Helplessly, the two servants of the Chen Mansion carried the box and sent the white crane to the front of the mansion.

In front of the door, Ye Bao was greeting the guests with a smile, and when he saw Bai Minghe coming back, he immediately beckoned two Jinyi Wei Colonels to come over and help carry the box into the house first.

"Ye Qianhu? No, Brother Ye. I didn't go to the wrong door! ”

Bai Minghe looked puzzled.

Ye Bao called a hundred households to greet him at the door, and then took the white crane into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, just looking at the size of the courtyard startled the white crane.

Besides, there were men and women in this courtyard, and there were hundreds of them. These people are busy with their heads down, some are cleaning the yard, some are mending the windows, and some are fiddling with the flowers.

Entering the main hall, just looking at the furnishings, Bai Minghe was a little afraid to put his ordinary ass on those noble chairs. This kind of chair will be worth at least one million sets in the next generation.

"Bai Gongzi's book, long live the royal approval." Ye Bao waved his hand to tell the servants to retreat, and then continued: "First of all, Fang Li, Long Live Lord thinks that Bai Gongzi is hard, only half of it is too little, how can there be one percent." The number of craftsmen can be increased to 1,000 people, or even 10,000 people, but it is really not possible to put a thousand households directly in the past. "Bai Minghe understood, this is to expand production, but I don't know why the emperor wants to expand.

Ye Bao gave Bai Minghe an explanation: Only the Ministry of War purchases, the first batch, it costs a penny, a million boxes. And all kinds of high-end goods, combined, there are tens of thousands of boxes.

When it comes to profits, the most ordinary ones earn the most.

One million boxes were evenly distributed to the Ming army, plus the ones retained, it would be good for a team to be able to get three boxes.

"This is not the end, long live the promise of me to open a store in the capital, my thousand households, together with the rest of the brothers in the capital, we don't plan to open a store, let Xiaoqi carry the burden, even if we don't force it, we can sell millions of boxes." The thing that makes fire is a necessity for daily life, second only to salt and iron! ”

"Also, from afar, whether it is official, military, civilian. All go to the post station, and add a price of one percent per hundred miles to the post station. ”

Hearing Ye Bao say this, Bai Minghe interjected and said: "This, is it a little less than 100 miles plus 100 percent." ”

"You can't give too much first, otherwise I don't know how greedy I am in my heart for these goods." As soon as Ye Bao said this, Bai Minghe understood better, I am afraid that this matter is that the emperor just agreed, and the specific operation is estimated to be the upper echelons of Jinyiwei still involved.

"Besides, this Fang Li, long live half of it, Bai Gongzi is one percent. In addition to the wages, the craftsman gave half of the money as a reward. This business is bigger, and Xiaquan Village eats half of it, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat it, and they won't dare to eat it. Ye Bao said good things, and Bai Minghe also said in advance that it is definitely not a good thing to eat too much profit in Xiaquan Village.

And the white crane accounts for this percentage, purely as a special fee for future generations.

Ye Bao continued:

"The chamberlains in the palace must always have a share, and the business in various places is also divided equally between the eunuchs and the brocade guards. But no one dares to deduct the shop, and this fixed price is long live the royal pen, so naturally they don't dare to increase the price. So the rules are still very strict, and the last two percent, long live, means to save them first and use them when they are critical. ”

From the beginning to the end, there was no mention of taxes, and Bai Minghe didn't mention it.

just said: "Here, I don't care how you manage the workers, give me a batch, use my rules to manage, and the wages will go according to my side." Whether it's good or bad, see the effect after three months. If my method is good, I will report it to Banzai, and if it is not good, I will change to your way. ”

"That's fine." Ye Bao agreed without much thought.

Then, Ye Bud took out a list.

"Your garden was originally a criminal official. These people who renovated were transferred from the government, and they will be sent back in the next few days. Flowers, bonsai, bedrooms, etc., are some of the thoughts of several directors in the palace, and you can accept this with peace of mind. These pieces of furniture are some of our Jinyiwei's thoughts. In two days, the priest's side will send you some people over, and I will also pick a few people for you who can work. ”

Bai Minghe got up and clenched his fists: "Bai Minghe has thanked him here." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Ye Bao hurriedly helped Bai Minghe to sit down again.

At this time, Ye Bao's voice was a little quieter: "Father-in-law Cheng asked me to bring you another word, the palace is not very calm, and the things between these directors and managers are better out of sight." ”

Bai Minghe thanked him in his heart.

The eunuchs also have infighting, so don't get involved in it.

Or is it also saying that the dividends of this match workshop are almost tens of thousands of taels of silver distributed to the eunuchs a year, how to divide it, let the eunuchs fight, Bai Minghe has already paid the money, and ignore the rest.

This is good counsel.

When Ye Bao said this, he took out a few more envelopes and put them on the table, and then went out to arrange for those who were working.

As the saying goes, there are many people who work well, hundreds of people work, and in just two days, this garden has been completely renewed, and even the railings have been painted, so that this place has immediately become a house for large families.

As for the people sent by the sect and the people sent by the people, Bai Minghe chose to avoid it and handed it over to Sun Yuanjun to deal with.

Sun Yuanjun was naturally extremely happy, this was a symbol of himself as a hostess.

In fact, Bai Minghe was still a little unaccustomed to the existence of slaves, and he knew that he couldn't change it.

On the second night of Bai Minghe's entry into Beijing, the second uncle, Bai Chongyuan, came.

It's not for the sake of congratulating, it's just because they are both Bai and uncles and nephews, and there are some things that the family should communicate more, especially if they are both officials in the capital.

Bai Minghe greeted Bai Chongyuan at the main gate, and after sitting in the study, Bai Chongyuan sighed: "I have been in the capital for almost ten years, and I have always wanted to have a separate study, but unfortunately I have not been able to do so." If it weren't for the help of the clan every year, I was afraid that I would starve to death in the capital. ”

Bai Chongyuan taught Bai Minghe a lesson, talking about the hardships of a seven-rank Beijing official, and even a fifth-grade official, he may not be rich.

Bai Minghe does not understand the detailed history of the Ming Dynasty, and his knowledge is limited.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the law was very strict. During the period of the Yongle Emperor, the officials were extremely poor, and after Yongle was about to die of illness and did not go to court for a long time, the officials relaxed a little and dared to collect some small money.

But the real civilian-bureaucratic clique has let go of its greed, and it will be after the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Bai Minghe smiled indifferently: "Maybe, someone may take over this house tomorrow, or someone may set it on fire." Second uncle, I didn't come to the capital to visit your house, it's not that I don't have time, but I don't dare. I'm afraid that it will affect you and make you lose your position. ”

"What?" Bai Chongyuan believed in Bai Minghe's words very much, because of Bai Minghe, his status in the Ministry of Rites had improved a lot.

"Second uncle, don't ask, in the past half a month, it's fine as usual."

"Listen to you. It's just a situation here, do you want to write a letter to home? "Bai Chongyuan is asking Bai Minghe, you are already from the seventh grade, how can you give the family good news.

Bai Minghe shook his head: "It's not too late to talk about it after the test." ”

Bai Chongyuan nodded, and after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it, he hadn't tried it yet, so he reported to his family that he had become an official. If something changes after the test, it's always bad to be surprised. There's nothing wrong with slowing down.

It was already late at night, so Bai Chongyuan stayed in the guest room.

Looking at this garden, Bai Chongyuan really likes it, and looks forward to Bai Minghe if he can really do something big, this garden can stay for a long time.

However, thinking of what Bai Minghe said today, Bai Chongyuan sighed heavily in his heart, feeling very depressed.
