The white crane was blocked from the door, and his heart said that they were all husband and wife, is this still avoided?

Besides, there was only one and a half men in the backyard. Count yourself one, Zhu Jianshen is a little child, and he can only count half of it.

Just as Bai Minghe was about to knock on the door again, Sun Yuanjun's voice came from inside the door: "Husband, it's inconvenient for me, it's better for my husband to go to the Qinghe girl's room at night to rest." ”

Qinghe's face turned red all of a sudden, and his hand on the door loosened.

Bai Minghe was very angry and slapped the door hard: "Nonsense, people are not goods." The official went back to the study to sleep. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Remember to change them every day, and throw them away when you use them." With that, the white crane strode away.

Qinghe's face was already red, half of it was expectation, and on the other hand, it was joy.

Isn't it worth rejoicing to be respected?

In another room, Zhu Jianshen, who was cleaning up his desk, suddenly said: "If my aunt doesn't take the initiative, then Aunt Qinghe will take the lead." ”

Huaiyu was startled, this little thing was only five years old, and he was so slippery. After coming back to his senses, Huaiyu's face was definitely redder than Qinghe's, and he raised his hand to beat Zhu Jianshen. The little guy hugged his head in fright and fled, and after catching up with Bai Minghe, he looked aggrieved: "My aunt wants to beat me." ”

"Let's go eat grilled fish!" Bai Minghe knew why Huaiyu wanted to beat Zhu Jianshen.

This question gave Shiraaki a headache, and it can be said that it was an incomparably headache. This Huaiyu's identity is definitely not ordinary, otherwise it would not be possible for the three major eunuchs to come to him in person. And Huaiyu's mind Bai Minghe also knows that from a certain point of view, Bai Minghe wants to choose to escape.

Grilled fish, there are not so many seasonings, not even much refined salt, but Zhu Jianshen is very happy to eat it.

Three days later, representatives from all the villages and towns in Hepu County were dispatched, and to Bai Minghe's surprise, only one-third were old people, more than half were about forty years old, and there were two young people, one of whom was a woman.

Those who can be selected and sent by each village are naturally trusted by each village.

A strong man saw that Bai Minghe didn't speak, so he first came over and kowtowed three times, and an old man explained to Bai Minghe: "The county lord saved his younger brother and saved many people in our village, and the little old man also kowtowed to the county lord." ”

"I came to you, not to thank the official, but to do something important."

"Listen to the orders of the county lord!"

"Close the door!" With that, he turned around and walked towards the middle of the main hall. More than two dozen sergeants ran in from outside, and when they looked outside the door, there were at least forty people around.

After Bai Minghe sat down, he said, "Don't be nervous, it's just that what the official said is very important, and it can't be passed on." ”

Ordinary people had seen this posture there, and they all knelt on the ground.

All the officers who came in were officers, and the lowest one was also a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, and no matter how low the rank was, he was not qualified to come in.

The four small flagships brought over some cushions and distributed them to everyone.

There were only ten people who could sit on the chairs, and the rest, both officers and civilians, sat on the ground. Du Shuangyu came in from outside the door: "Lord Bai, there are your own people inside and out, and no one even comes over from the inferior guards in the palace." ”

There are no regular guards in the Yiwang Mansion, and those inferior guards are not regular soldiers, they can only be said to be people with weapons.

Bai Minghe cleared his throat: "Who will spread this matter?" There is only one result, my white name crane will kill. Of course, I'm just a scholar, and I can't do such a bloody thing as killing people. As Bai Minghe was talking, Wu Bin suddenly jumped up and cut the small few next to him in half with a single sword.

"What are you doing?" The white crane was startled, and the people trembled even more.

"Sue them, my knife is not bad!" Wu Bin's attitude was that he was demonstrative.

Bai Minghe smiled helplessly and immediately went straight to the point: "In the pearl pool, all pearls are born of heaven and earth. In recent years, there are fewer and fewer pearls in the pearl pool. Therefore, I plan to cultivate my own pearls, and this pearl cultivation is divided into two types: whole pearls and floating pearls. ”

Everyone was stunned, pearls, a naturally raised thing, can be raised by themselves.

You know, you may not see a single pearl if you pick up ten pearls from the sea.

Bai Minghe ignored these people's surprised reactions, and just said, "This Quanzhu pays attention to two summers and one winter. The maximum should not exceed three years, otherwise the beads will be dull. In fact, this floating bead can only be regarded as a second-rate product, which can be produced in 160 to 200 days, and in terms of size, the smallest is one point, and the largest may reach three points. ”

Three points really scared people, and three points is 0.9 centimeters in later generations.

In the Ming Dynasty, a large number of pearls of this size were produced, and I am afraid that it would scare people to death.

"This work is divided into two parts. One is to raise mussels, and the other is to raise pearls. However, we don't have much time at the moment, so the first batch of mussels needs to be fished up. Mussel shells are also needed, the more the merrier. Finally, it's time to choose a place. ”

"Is what you say true?" An old man was a little skeptical.

Wu Bin, this kid, didn't have the knife back to the sheath just now, which will make some people suspect Bai Minghe, and immediately put the knife on the shelf. "You dare to doubt Lord Bai."

"Don't talk nonsense, but I can do what I say. Just this Hepu, if my white crane is let go, tens of thousands of catties of pearls a year will not be a problem. The high-quality ones can also have tens of thousands of catties, so you don't have to doubt it, you just need to do it according to the requirements of the official. But ......"

When Shirana Crane said that, everyone became nervous.

"Next, how to keep this secret. Shen 100 households, Du 100 households, Yang 100 households. This is your job, this secret can be kept, Hepu is a golden mountain, and if you can't keep it, you have nothing. Although some people knew this kind of bead technique in the Song Dynasty, the official had more clever means. ”

Bai Minghe is not wrong, the earliest pearl cultivation in China was in the Song Dynasty.

It's just that at that time, it was only freshwater pearls, and the technology was very backward, and the pearl rate of high-grade pearls was less than one percent.

"The income of this pearl pond can be shared by the participating villages. Half of all sergeants were divided. The real big-headed officials don't dare to take it, long live it. Of course, there will also be a part left, and the necessary filial piety on the ground of Guangdong cannot be less. A person's income is not less than 20 taels per year, and the rest is calculated according to the annual income. Even if it is a loss, it is also recognized by the official, and it will not be less than twenty taels of guaranteed one board. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of paper and wrote a contract. Then there's a non-disclosure agreement.

When Bai Minghe was looking for the red seal mud, Wu Bin had already scratched his fingers, so he pressed a handprint with blood: "My Bai brother always counts when he speaks, I was the first to press the handprint, if I didn't keep this secret, he would cut me." ”

"Lord Bai, there is only one difficulty in keeping this secret?" Yang Xin opened his mouth and reminded: "Commander Mao's envoy over there, we will close the road and prohibit travel." The prefect's yamen can be blocked, and the political secretary's yamen can also be blocked. But only Commander Mao can't stop it, so adults must be prepared! ”

"Don't worry, when I send millions of stone grain to Lord Yu Qian at the end of the year, Commander Mao will be our group."

The white crane is full of confidence.

"Since Lord Bai has thought it through, our brothers will follow it to the death." Yang Xin also understands that this is a fucking money tree. This will also understand the reason why Bai Minghe must repair the county government, even if Bai Minghe is not here as a county magistrate, the next one will definitely be his person. Otherwise, it must be dead.

When the profit is so big that it is hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver a year, whoever dares to stick will die.

What's more, Bai Minghe is too smart, all the industries have given the big head to Banzai, whoever moves is to grab food in the bowl of the Ming Emperor, even if Bai Minghe doesn't fight back, Dongchang will dare to kill his whole family.

From the first time Wu Bin pressed the bloody handprint, everyone present did not use the ink again, and also pressed the bloody handprint.

The contract is just a piece of paper, and what can really bind everyone is the community of interests. The last person to press the handprint was Jin Jie, and his trembling hands didn't know if he was scared or excited.

Being in the palace, he knew the value of pearls better than anyone else.

In particular, what does a pearl that reaches a diameter of three cents represent?

Putting away the contract, Bai Minghe sat back down: "Now, start distributing any." If anyone thinks that the distribution of the official is unreasonable, bring it up. Or if you think you are not capable enough, you can also bring it up. ”

The hall immediately fell silent.

"For the first task, the official needs to find a bead pool. Or several bead pools, but the distance can't be too far, too far away to have no contact with each other before, and it's not easy to guard. The requirements for this bead pond are that the wind and waves must be calm, and the ebb and flow of the tide is living water. Beads and mussels cannot be co-cultured. This task, the village takes it! ”

Bai Minghe said that the village, that is, the pearl people, using the word village to represent, but also Bai Minghe's respect for these people.

At that moment, a strong man stood up: "Don't worry, my lord, we will choose three or five places on the beach in the county, and the final decision will be made by the adults." ”

"Next, select 50 skillful pearl raising women, 5 pearl elders, and 30 pearl workers. This is for Zhuchi, and the periphery is responsible for laying hands, and another hundred people are needed. This is the first batch of personnel, and after the officers have trained them, the old ones will bring in the new, and the number will be increased by four times. The village is responsible for picking people, and Du Shuangyu is responsible for auditing, and there can be no mistakes in this matter. Old villagers account for 60 percent, and new villagers account for 40 percent. New villagers are not allowed to enter the infield! ”

"Your Excellency's Order!"

"To build tools, Yang Xin, you will do it yourself, there are blacksmiths in the army, you must use high-grade fine iron, if the materials are not enough, no matter where you are, you have to buy it back no matter how much it costs."

"Yes!" Yang Xin stood up and clenched his fists.

"Next, it is also the hardest and hardest work. We need live mussels, lots of live mussels, and lots of mussel shells. This will have to be hard work in the village. ”

"My lord, we are all miserable people. It is easier to fish for mussels in the water than to pick up beads, and adults ask us to play with our lives. As for mussel shells, each of our villages can pile up mussel shells several people high. ”
