"How much does that owe?" Bai Minghe looked at the account book and knew how many goods there were, but he didn't know how much silver there was.

But who would have thought, Chen Adaa shook his head: "I don't know, I think there are hundreds of thousands of taels." But we all said that let these debt collectors go to you, Lord Bai. By the way, he also introduced a business to you, saying that Jiangnan prefers to use silver to pay taxes, because most of his fields are planted with mulberry. Therefore, Lord Bai can use the money collected to pay off the other goods."

"More than 10 million stones?" Bai Minghe asked.

"I'm afraid it's more than that, it's handed over to the treasury. There are still places to collect, and the yamen still has to collect some. A scribe was next to him and introduced him to the white crane.

The civilian officers in these armies know more about these things than the military attachés.

"When there is more food, the price of food will naturally come down. It seems that I should change some more valuable things, and go to tell them, I want thick sugar cane juice, as much as I want! There is also precious wood, prepare 100,000 square meters first! Bai Minghe commanded, and immediately there was a six-grade hundred households with Bai Minghe's handwritten book and ran to deliver the letter.

After staying for another day, after Qiongzhou Wei sent another thirty cargo ships and six warships, Bai Minghe got on the ship and went to Pu.

Grain is a heavy cargo, 1,500 large ships, because the distance is short, do not consider a large amount of food and fresh water. The maximum limit can be loaded with grain to 7,200 stones, and the fleet of Bai Minghe is loaded at 6,800 stones per ship, so naturally it does not dare to load to the limit.

Just for the grain exchanged for porcelain, the white crane needs one hundred and thirty boats.

In other words, in the next month from Ho Pho to Da Nang, only grain was transported. You don't have to do the rest.

But the white crane came by empty and was unwilling, what could he do if he was unwilling. If you bring a shipload of silk, it's enough for hundreds of boatloads of grain. So there's really no goods to ship.

The day before Shirana Crane returned to Hepu, many guests came to Hepu.

There are hundreds of merchants selling porcelain, hundreds of silk merchants, all kinds of merchants gather in Pu, the first to collect debts, the later to hear, is to hear some rumors, thinking that Hepu has some big business to do, so all kinds of merchants whether they sell goods, or want to buy goods. Swarms poured in.

The whole county, all the vacant houses. It's just that the owner is not there, and all are requisitioned. In this way, the county did not even let these merchants live.

On the street, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers from Lianzhouwei and Leizhouwei who came to support them guarded these people like prisoners, and they were not allowed to walk on the street casually, and they were not allowed to bring knives. Private communication is not allowed. Meals and everything, all of them were sent to each room, and all of them were under house arrest.

If you want to leave, you can.

He was escorted out of Hepu County by soldiers. Stopovers in Hepu County are not permitted.

The white crane's ship docked in the harbor, and Shen Xiong cried when he saw the white crane, crying with tears in his eyes.

"Dead?" Bai Minghe scolded with a smile.

"Almost. I haven't slept for 10 hours in the last 10 days. Master Tao recorded more than 500,000 taels of bills. I looked at it, and there were many things that I was afraid that after I bought them myself. Left for myself. Our bill is only more than 400,000 taels! Shen Xiong looked pitiful.

"It's not bad, they just took a small head."

"Also, we have no food. Lian Zhouwei also has no food, they said that as long as you come back, you must have food. Shen Xiong said again.

Bai Minghe pointed to the fleet that was docking: "100,000 stone grain." ”

There is no shortage of people with food, at least in Daming. There are already 10,000 old soldiers here, Shen Xiong gave an order, the board car lined up in a long line, and a bag of rice was carried off the boat, seven and a half bags of two stones, which is the standard loading method of straw bags of rice in Sangsong, and there are some differences with the stone of Daming.

The other boat was moved down with a barrel, and the other bucket was a stone, and it was disembarked with a roll.

Instead of going home immediately, Shira-namo went to the sugar mill.

After Bai Minghe left, it has been repaired, and the owner of the original sugar mill is given three points of shares, and all the sugar workers are given a double salary to a five-fold increase for the master. Daming uses the lime sugar purification method, which can really make white sugar.

The most developed areas of the sugar industry in the Ming Dynasty were not Guangdong, but Quanzhou and Fuzhou.

Bai Minghe just went around with the thick sugar cane juice and told these people to get to work. After a few words of comfort, he left.

When Bai Minghe left, the whole sugar mill didn't know who Bai Minghe was, but they saw the big barrel of thick sugarcane juice, watching the barrels and barrels transported to the warehouse, the craftsmen were a little dizzy, so many quantities of sugarcane juice, they had to work for decades to make all of it into sugar.

"Six thousand stones, we said. There are not enough people to recruit, and there are not enough workshops to build workshops. For the rest, you can see how to do it, and you can't let it go anyway. "The little clerk who delivered the goods didn't know what to say. He also saw the mountain of sugar cane juice.

In fact, sugarcane juice is just the name of the white crane, and it has been coarsely processed over there, and strictly speaking, it is already syrup.

Black whirring syrup!

Before Bai Minghe returned home, Qinghe had already entered the house, and the most valuable things were transported home by Qinghe himself. The amount of gold, in modern parlance, is a ton. What is the concept of ten pearls, Daming is ten buckets of volume, white cranes these pearls, the total weight of four hundred catties.

All kinds of treasures and treasures filled all the empty rooms in the backyard of the white crane.

In the end, I really couldn't put it down, only a few boxes of gems, pearls, and a ton of gold were placed in Sun Yuanjun's room.

Bai Minghe entered the door and saw Huaiyu carrying the futon into Sun Yuanjun's house. Then he made a bed for himself on the pile of gold, and when he saw Bai Minghe enter the house, Huaiyu patted his bed: "Brother-in-law, I'll sleep here." A few days ago, I dreamed that I was sleeping on a golden bed, and today it turned out that there was really a golden bed. ”

The white crane twitched his face, and was about to speak, when he felt something hit him on the leg.

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw Zhu Jianshen and Bai Yinglan holding a quilt, and they dragged them on the ground, rushed to the box of pearls, and the whole person got into the pile of pearls: "Teacher, this is my bed." ”

"Bastard, where's my bamboo plank?" The white crane was furious.

Sun Yuanjun hurriedly protected Zhu Jianshen: "Husband, Huaiyu and His Royal Highness King Yi are happy, you can't let them indulge once." ”

"I'm so angry, it's a shame for you to go out. Isn't it just a little bit of gold, a little bit of pearls? Is it worth your madness? They owe me ten times as much of this gold, and they can build a house of gold. It's really unproductive. "Bai Minghe was very angry, and as soon as he turned around, I went to sleep in the study!

Huaiyu and Zhu Jianshen clapped each other's hands, and they both smiled happily.

Only Bai Yinglan was very nervous: "Isn't the second uncle going to be angry, will he really hit Yinglan's ass with a bamboo board!" ”

"Don't worry, it won't. Teachers are sometimes harsh, and teachers won't spank such trivial things! Zhu Jianshen said confidently, and then grabbed a handful in the pearl pile: "It's so beautiful!" ”

Bai Yinglan also took one.

This box is one of the best quality, naturally the most beautiful, and some of it is golden.

"You can see it, but you can't take it. The teacher taught that you should never be greedy for self-interest until you have an assignment. When the teacher decides on the distribution of these pearls, I will definitely ask for a beautiful one to give to you. ”

Sun Yuanjun and Huaiyu were both startled, not because Zhu Jianshen would like girls. It's because of what Zhu Jianshen said, Zhu Jianshen is the king of Yi, not to mention taking one, even if he grabs a handful, no one dares to say a word in this courtyard. Even the white-named crane can't do it.

But Zhu Jianshen is abiding by the rules, which is a constraint on himself.

A four-and-a-half-year-old child who already has a binding force on himself is really amazing.

When Bai Minghe arrived in the study, he was even more surprised. The blood-red coral, which is more than one person high, is made of rosewood and is a bit like the Ming style, but it is a chair and desk with a Siamese feel. A piece of paperweight on the table turned out to be a whole piece of gold, and then it was inlaid with precious stones, and the pen holder was also pure silver.

"This ......" Shirana Crane really didn't know what to say.

"Young master, there is really no place to put it. These were gifts from the Siamese princes, as well as the screen. Qinghe pulled the cloth, four rows, rosewood wrapped in gold, inlaid with countless precious stones.

The white crane knew that this screen was a return gift from the dozen or so golden colored velvet.

"If someone impeaches me, I guess that's incriminating evidence. I'm afraid that even the entire Ming Prince's Mansion would not dare to put such a thing, I have never seen such a thing in the study of Banzai. You're going to scare me to death! The white crane said that he was afraid, but his eyes were staring at the screen and he couldn't turn his head.

Gorgeous, gorgeous to the extreme.

"You have also worked hard, help me find Uncle Fu, Jin Jie, Lu Qiyuan, and Tao Lizheng. Then go and rest, after that these treasures will definitely be yours, but you can't move right now. These things are too burning, I don't dare to keep them, and the high-grade treasures must be sealed immediately and ready to be shipped to the capital. ”

"It's the young master!" Qinghe glanced at the screen again, she wanted to stay, but she also knew that what Bai Minghe said was not wrong.

The white crane leaned back in his chair and fell asleep, not because he was tired, but because of too much mental exertion. It's a great thing that the deal over there was successful. But the troubles that followed were too many to count.

From the officialdom point of view, Bai Minghe is going to really start dealing with the three divisions of the yamen. From the perspective of the business world, Shiramei Crane also has to consider a series of issues such as the depth and scale of dealing with businessmen. Another point is that Bai Minghe has already made a bad relationship with the Japanese people, and this matter cannot be hidden, so he must find a way to deal with it.

What's even more troublesome is that Bai Minghe is now in debt of more than 500,000 taels.

One ton of gold sounds like a lot, but it's actually just 300,000 taels of silver.

When Bai Minghe leaned back in his chair and was half asleep, Bai Fu came in, and instead of calling Bai Minghe, he just sat on the chair next to him and waited for Bai Minghe to wake up. (To be continued......)

PS: A reader made a small mistake about the amount of silver. Sigh......, the math taught by the music teacher back then was really good, revise this chapter.
