Section 110 Secret Talk

A good story to tell.

Zhu Qiyu is not a child, he knows that there must be several legends about this red pearl, and what Bai Minghe is talking about is probably one of them, maybe it is something that really happened. But a box of red pearls, it can't be said that each one is dyed with blood, such pearls, such colors, such colors, and such fineness, there is no such thing in the Ming Palace.

Is the white crane looking for an excuse to offset the fact that he killed the Japanese people?

"Give me a seat, give me refreshments!" Regarding the story of the white crane, Zhu Qiyu did not make a single word of evaluation, at least it was not the time to evaluate.

Bai Minghe sat down: "Long live, this excuse was given to the hundred officials in the early dynasty." ”

Zhu Qiyu almost wanted to scold, your white name crane is not small, are you teasing me?

Without waiting for Zhu Qiyu to have a chance to get angry, Bai Minghe said again: "Long live, the real reason why the ministers killed the Japanese is that the Japanese people moved your silver." The minister has read the book about the frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese people are active within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so that the silver that should belong to you is taken away by them. Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it! ”

Porphyry ...... and Zhu Qiyu finally sprayed.

The real source of that sentence, except for the white crane, is known to Gonggong Cai. The Analects? Eight Hundreds": Confucius said Ji's, "Eight Hundred dances in the court, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!" ”

But it was an uncle and aunt who came to Bai Minghe, Bai Minghe, you are also a lifter.

"Bai Minghe, you ......" Zhu Qiyu really couldn't cry or laugh, when Gonggong Cai was rubbing the tea on Zhu Qiyu's body next to him, Bai Minghe said: "Long live, do you want to take a look at the tribute that the minister brought to Long live!" ”

"Tribute. What do you have to surprise me in Guangdong? "As an emperor, Zhu Qiyu has not seen anything.

The white crane pursed his lips. looked at Xing'an, and then looked at Cheng Jing. He took out a three-inch-thick scroll in his bosom. Bai Minghe was sure that Xing'an did not report what he had brought to the emperor, so he was afraid that he would leave himself a chance to surprise the emperor.

"Hooray, the minister brought one hundred and twenty-five stones...... "Bai Minghe used the weight unit of stone.

Hearing one hundred and twenty-five stones, Zhu Qiyu's first thought was white sugar, because only white sugar used more than 100 stones, which was barely a good excuse for the royal family.

"Gold!" The white crane came with a big gasp.

Porphyry ....... Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu sprayed again, just now drinking tea. This time, it's because I sprayed it just now, and I will rinse my mouth with water. It was sprayed on the table and clothes just now, and this time it sprayed Cai's father-in-law's face.

"White Crane!" Zhu Qiyu slapped the table hard. I want to get angry, but I can't find a reason at the moment. Is Shiraka Crane wrong? What's wrong? Is it because the unit of stone is used to describe gold?

"Move, let me all move in. I want to see, and if you have less money, I will cure you of the crime of deceiving the king. Zhu Qiyu sneered.

Anyway, after sleeping for a day during the day, he doesn't even have to go to court tomorrow, Zhu Qiyu plans to 'chat' with Bai Minghe!

"Long live, I'm afraid this south study can't be placed!" Xing'an said a word next to him.

"Swing, Taihe Palace!" Zhu Qiyu's interest is getting bigger and bigger.

Xing'an is still persuading. Taihe Hall may not be able to be opened, but it was pulled by Jin Ying. Jin Ying whispered: "Tonight, we just have to listen!" Jin Ying's persuasion, Xing'an still listened. Quickly nodded: "Well, listen to you." ”

Taihe Hall is used to conduct a large court meeting. Receiving foreign envoys, accepting tribute, etc.

The white crane also brought tribute. There is nothing inappropriate to put it in the Taihe Palace.

Xing'an walked first, and Zhu Qiyu returned to the apse to change clothes. Bai Minghe sat in the corner of the south study, thinking in his heart, how to make the navy full and even expand. It's not enough to have a profit, you may need some false names and the like. For example, the kind that can be recorded in the annals of history.

On the Xing'an side, the eunuchs in the palace were not arranged, and the front palace was already under martial law, and the eunuchs and palace maids were not allowed to go. All the moving goods were all the manpower of the East Factory, and thousands of people moved for a full quarter of an hour before they were able to safely stuff all of these into the Taihe Palace.

It's time to put something on the throne.

After Zhu Qiyu took the white-named crane into the main gate of the Taihe Palace, Zhu Qiyu's heart was full of flavors. Confusion, joy, surprise, and some anger. The reason for being angry is naturally that there must be some conspiracy that I can't figure out. The conspiracy is not only the white crane, but also the hundred officials in the court.

The white crane found the box first, ripped off the seal, and opened one of them, a box full of gold bars.

"Hooray, a box is a stone. There are 1,600 of them, and here are 125 boxes, which is 125 stones! The white crane said respectfully beside him.

Zhu Qiyu also opened a few casually, and it was really all real gold.

Sitting on one of the boxes, Zhu Qiyu asked: "Bai Minghe, this is 200,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to 2 million taels of silver at the official price of Daming, and the people can get more than 2.2 million taels." ”

Zhu Qiyu pointed to a box next to him: "You sit down." The white crane sat down as he said. Then he instructed: "Cheng for reading, tell Bai Minghe about the taxes of the Ming Dynasty last year." I remember that the grain in Guangdong Province was more than a million stones! ”

"Long live the return, Guangdong Province has 1.07 million stones, 500 quintals of raw silk, and 210,000 catties of cotton, linen, and silk. Folded silver, 670,000 taels! The grain, silk and other silver collected by the Tuntian of the Guangdong Metropolitan Health Institute were converted into 110,000 taels of silver! The husband's service, firewood, grass, lessons, and several other items add up to 40,000 taels of silver. ”

Cheng Jing is not talking about national taxes, but only Guangdong Province.

Regarding grain, Bai Minghe heard Chen Ada's talk. I just didn't expect that there were other taxes besides food.

"White Crane, how much are these things worth of you?" Zhu Qiyu pointed to the boxes that filled the Taihe Palace.

Bai Minghe handed the scroll to Cheng Jing and replied, "Long live, the minister didn't count it." It's just that I picked up all the best and moved it to Banzai, and the minister didn't dare to ask for credit, just asking for a chance to speak. I don't dare to expect Banzai to agree, I just want Banzai to consider the minister's words, and the minister's heart can be learned! ”

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, just nodded at Cheng Jing.

Cheng Jing is in charge of the affairs of the palace, and he also handles the procurement of many items, so he should be very good at estimating the value.

Cheng Jing was about to take a hasty look at it first, and then calculate it in detail, but he stopped halfway through it: "Long live, the minister can't figure it out, some of these objects are already priceless." ”

After that, Cheng Jing picked up the scroll with both hands, but Zhu Qiyu did not take it.

"White Crane, tell me what you say. Written for reading! ”

Bai Minghe stood up: "Long live, Chen Jin's first words are." The official price of gold and silver is 1:10, and the private rate is almost 1:11 to 12. The minister knew that in the Wa Kingdom, the price of gold and silver was one to five, and the price of the people was one to four, or two to seven! ”

"Do you want to go to 倭島 to huàn?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

If this is the request, for the sake of the face of the astronomical gift of the white crane, Zhu Qiyu has already agreed in his heart.

But who would have thought, Bai Minghe shook his head: "Long live, the minister will not change." The choice of the minister is to plunder! ”

Bai Minghe deliberately used the word plunder, which really startled Zhu Qiyu. immediately rebuked Bai Minghe: "Where is the sage you read?" ”

"Long live, please listen to the minister's explanation." Bai Minghe was not nervous at all: "The Japanese people came to my Ming coast to be thieves and thieves." The Japanese pressed Nanzhang and Siam to pay tribute. Why? ”

"Why?" Zhu Qiyu responded.

"The Japanese people only live on an island, and if they want to expand, they can only go out. When the minister dared to say the death of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the monarch was not a monarch and the minister was not a minister, the barbarians on the grassland dared to enter the Central Plains. Daming's fat meat, I don't know how many people are staring at it, and it is hard to guarantee that the Japanese people will be tempted one day. ”

The words of the white crane are already taboo.

But Zhu Qiyu did not reprimand Bai Minghe, but thought about it seriously. In a sense, Shira's words are good. Zhu Qiyu had shackles in his heart, so he still asked Bai Minghe: "In the future, in the annals of history, it will inevitably be recorded that I am a poor soldier." I don't want to have this evaluation, and I don't dare to have it. ”

"Chen Dou dared to ask long live, what if he went north and destroyed the grassland? How will the annals be written? ”

"Naturally, it is a prosperous Ming, except for the barbarians. Recover my Chinese territory, and then show the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties! Zhu Qiyu was in high spirits, and stood up excitedly, clenching his fists and waving them.

Bai Minghe knelt down: "Long live, the history books are written by the victors." What is the true image of Tang Taizong's killing of his brother and brother, I am afraid that only those involved know. The only thing that future generations will remember is the great deeds......"

The four words of great achievements hit Zhu Qiyu's heart like a heavy hammer.

"Slave earnestly, long live, please say a word to Lord Bai." Xing'an even ignored Jin Ying's dissuasion and stood up to help Bai Minghe speak.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, motioned for Xing'an to stand aside first, and then said to Bai Minghe: "You continue to speak!" ”

"Long live, tens of thousands of islands in the South China Sea, large and small, are now occupied by bandits and robbers. There is a sea ban in the Ming Dynasty, and there are still people who secretly go to sea, but in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer people, not because of the deterrence of the sea ban. It's that you will be killed if you go out outside the Ming Coast, who cares about the Heavenly Empire, there is no real steel knife on the neck, and a few slogans can scare those bandits It is really ridiculous. ”

The white-named crane pointed to the boxes in the Taihe Temple.

"Hooray, these are the profits of the minister's forbidden voyage. The minister left some for the Cantonese soldiers who could only eat seventy percent a day, and the minister dared to ask for a long live only if he didn't see it, and the minister was willing to give five million taels of silver to Wan Sui a year. Long live the first head of the first temple in the Ming Temple! ”

Bai Minghe said, the whole person fell to the ground, and one hand had already taken off his official hat and put it aside, this is Ming Xinzhi!

Bai Minghe knelt down, and the four most powerful eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty all knelt.

The young Ming Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu was already in tears. (To be continued......)
