vs 341 The great wisdom of the ancients
Wang Cheng saw Yu Qian smile and breathed a sigh of relief!
"Besides, these ten million taels of silver, in fact, we also exchanged the goods for it. I didn't buy it with silver, but my family said that this is called a radish cut at both ends, and the knife has meat! ”
Yu Qian looked around, there were no boats around, and this boat was full of the elite of Dongchang. Only then did he lower his voice and said: "The Japanese have infiltrated the Ming Dynasty, and this is the official on the way here." When passing by Huai'an Mansion, I heard the news. It's just that it was shipwrecked, but you're right. ”
"Thank you for Shaobao!" Wang Cheng knew that Yu Qian was kind.
It's just that those Japanese people really floated in shipwreck, but what if they weren't, what if they were other big names.
Wang Cheng can't stand this kind of eventuality, with the style of Dongchang doing things, Ningge can only let it go if he kills him by mistake, so there will definitely be no such possibility.
Wang Cheng was reminded by Yu Qian in his heart, but he had two thoughts.
First, the sea blockade is still not strict enough, of course, it is also possible that the ship was sunk by the sea of the Daming Coast Patrol, and the people floated to the shore. The second is that Dongchang really didn't think about setting up some spies along the coast to prevent these from sneaking into Daming. It doesn't matter if he's a good guy or a bad guy, grabbing and whipping them all is the right way.
In the blink of an eye, the boat went directly into the White Horse Pavilion Pier, and the White Crane was already standing on the pier waiting.
"Yu ......, Lord Yu!" A smile on the face of the white crane greeted him.
Yu Qian didn't return the salute, pointed at Bai Minghe and scolded with a smile: "Bai Minghe, I know you don't want to see me." You are at ease and lawless in Nanjing. When I saw me, I was naturally constrained. So your heart is not happy. However, this time you have to thank me first, and then put on a feast, your son is born, and the mother and son are safe. Long live the name of the royal pen, Bai Yinghui! ”
Bai Minghe smirked on the spot, and the whole person was not normal.
I think that I haven't found a wife in my thirties in the next life, let alone a child. The only regret at the moment is that Sun Yuanjun was not in front of him when he gave birth to a child, but he is a father, and it is a very happy feeling to think about it.
All around was the voice of Daohe. Shira-naka just giggled.
Yu Qian also smiled. said to Wang Cheng: "He still has to be stupid for a while, he can't miss this wine." ”
"Feast!" Wang Cheng shouted, and then arranged for someone to deliver the invitation. said it was a banquet, but it was too late today. Sourcing a variety of ingredients. Prepare for something. It won't start until tomorrow at the earliest.
But tonight, there are naturally enough materials for good wine and good food to be entertained in Yu Qian's mansion.
The cheapest wine in the Ming Dynasty is two coins and a jar of silver. One jar is five catties. What Yu Qian prepared is the top wine in Baifu, which Bai Minghe himself is reluctant to drink, a hundred years of Tibetan Moutai, a treasure among treasures, Bai Minghe said that it is the best in the world, there is no wine that can be compared with it, it is a beautiful wine that will never be lost when you drink a sip.
Having children is a big deal, both in China and in the West.
Angela had a gift to her, a Western peace charm, as if there was some legend about this thing, in short, it was a very precious kind among the royal family.
Since there is going to be a feast, these people in Byzantium also have to celebrate together, and the Ming wine with brown sugar or something is also the absolute top wine. The Byzantine people would find some name every month to have a good drink, and they would fight not to bring others down, but to bring themselves down.
Perhaps, they are also sad about the demise of the Byzantine Empire! Perhaps, they are thinking about their hometown and their homeland! Perhaps, it's just a drunkard. But no matter what the reason, the wine cellar given to them by the white crane is always full, but fortunately, these people only get drunk every month on their so-called Sunday.
The Chinese winemakers and the Byzantine winemakers jointly launched the latest type of ale, the difference is that Byzantium added caramel, and the Ming people believed that some floral essences could be added to increase the aroma of low-alcohol wine, which was used to please female drinkers.
Of course, both of these are good wines anyway.
The most perfect product is not spirits.
It's Byzantine stout! It is one of the three major beers of Byzantium, which originated in Egypt and was later improved by the Nordics. This bitter thing, the people of the Ming Dynasty are not very used to it, but the white crane likes it.
At the banquet for Yu Qian, Bai Minghe put six kinds of wine and eighteen dishes on the table.
Yu Qian looked at the various wine bottles on the table, as well as the eighteen plates with lids, and immediately asked Bai Minghe: "Who else did you invite tonight?" ”
"You, me!" Bai Minghe pointed at Yu Qian, and then at himself.
Yu Qian pointed to the table: "I heard that Lord Zhongyong Bobai is usually very thrifty, and when he eats in the study, he mostly eats four dishes and one soup, and there is no leftovers. ”
"Actually! I basically make these dishes myself, and the amount is not large! Bai Minghe didn't talk to Yu Qian. Motioned to the maid to remove the lid and then retreated.
The maid set up the utensils and retreated outside the house.
Each item is a small plate, and the amount can be said to be extremely small, and it belongs to the kind that can be used up after a few bites.
"Marinated pickles, the old man likes it!" Yu Qian really likes it, but he doesn't know this secret. Yu Qian's family does not have so many servants, and he has been configured with the lowest domestic servant standard of the second rank official until now, and some of the large amount of incorruptible silver in his hand is used to fund several schools, all of which are schools for the children of middle-level officers.
The rest of the silver, Yu Qian didn't have any luxurious living habits, and he saved it.
Because there are few domestic servants, there is naturally no very professional chef, and the braised vegetables are easy to preserve, and they can be served as soon as they are hot.
"There are clear, white, and red. What are you? ”
"Silly halo, my people over there have recently discovered a large number of new varieties of spices." Bai Minghe poured a glass of wine for Yu Qian: "Drink the lightest first, this is the rice sake of the Japanese people, and the winemaker of the Ming Dynasty added snow grain and flower spices." This thing can sell dozens of carriages a day in Piaoxue Building, and our one is pure. ”
Yu Qian sniffed it and put it aside: "It's too light, the old man who is as light as water is not used to it." ”
"This is beer, and it has not yet been mass-produced, but in the future, it is estimated that tens of thousands of barrels will be drunk a day in Nanjing alone. This thing was liked by the Byzantines, and there were spirits there, but this one was a common wine. Ale! ”
Yu Qian took a sip, not very used to it, but he also felt that this wine was okay.
"These things are useless for people's livelihood, and the food consumed by wine is really a lot."
"What should the people do when they have money?" Bai Minghe asked Yu Qian rhetorically.
Yu Qian thought for a while: "If you have silver, save it for emergencies." And if there is any superfluous, you can improve your life! ”
"Silver is used to spend, and silver is only silver when it is spent, and it is better to put it at home than a piece of scrap iron. The people of the Ming Dynasty will not earn silver, nor will they spend silver. How practical is the silver thing, one tael of silver can buy thirteen fat chickens and forty catties of pork. Even if it's high-grade snow sugar, you can buy back twenty catties! ”
"Yes, almost. However, the price of snow sugar has been reduced recently, and you can buy twenty-three catties. This is also because a large amount of syrup from Nanyang has been shipped to the capital, and now the production of sugar mills has increased, but the demand for sugar in the market is greater. ”
"To raise pigs, the provinces must increase pig farms. In every county, there must be a large number of pig farms. ”
Bai Minghe thought of the large-scale farms in later generations, which would be more conducive to development in terms of quantity and management.
Yu Qian objected: "Raising pigs in every household is the right way, you know the match workshop in Xiaquan Village." If it weren't for the palace, I'm afraid it might be separated. The process of matches can already be produced by buying patents according to your rules, so some craftsmen who were originally in the match workshop plan to open their own match shop instead of working in the match shop. ”
Yu Qian's words are to tell the white crane not to use rules to affect the lives of the people.
But the meaning of this was heard by the white crane. It is:
Don't use the planned economy to influence the market economy.
Are the people of the Ming Dynasty so advanced in their thinking?
If the white crane is familiar with history, he will definitely know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is science and technology, capital, market, diplomacy, trade, etc., Daming can be at the forefront of the world and an absolute power at the center of the earth. The demise of the Ming Dynasty was a man-made disaster that hollowed out the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and natural disasters dealt a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty.
After three rounds of drinking, Yu Qian took out a wooden box from his body.
"This is what your wife, the eldest princess of Huili Garden, entrusted me to bring to you."
The white crane opened it, and it was a handkerchief with five words written on it: Jun En is as heavy as a mountain!
"What does that mean?" Bai Minghe didn't understand, thinking that Sun Yuanjun should be able to say something to Yu Qian. Yu Qian shook his head: "The old man just helped bring it over, and when she left Beijing, Her Royal Highness the princess was still in confinement, so naturally it was impossible to see people, and there were no words." You really don't understand? ”
Bai Minghe looked at the handkerchief, still shaking his head.
Yu Qian smiled and shook his head: "That's it, you will definitely be able to react in a few days, and I will talk to you about something serious today." Just say a little thing, long live the Nanyang side means, if you want to move, you will move, or you will not move. Once the army is raised, you can't be more than three hundred miles away from the place where the war is located, and the commander with the troops, you can choose one between Deng Hailong and Lan Hai. ”
"For the sake of Mo Long's business?"
"Yes! Banzai was angry, but also very calm. This is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, not a personal vendetta. ”
Bai Minghe wanted to say something, but Yu Qian stretched out his hand to block: "That's all for today's business, drink." Yu Qian just brought the words to Bai Minghe, and he definitely didn't want to say anything more to Bai Minghe. There must be countless reasons for Shira-na-mon cranes, and there is a very good chance that Shira-naka cranes will be able to convince themselves.
In order to prevent himself from being persuaded by the white crane, Yu Qian chose to avoid it.
The white crane was helpless, because the white crane thought yes, led by Mo Long. Arrange some Japanese and Korean people as pioneers, and go to test them first. Look at the depth over there, it's not the sergeant of the Ming Dynasty who died anyway. (To be continued......)
