Day 106 Chess Pieces [One of Four]
The number of 500,000 stones of rice really scared Zhu Qiyu.
He is the emperor, but he is not an emperor who doesn't know anything: "How much was the tax in Guangdong last year? I remember it was 1,090,000 shi, right?"
"Long live diligent work, this is the number." Cheng Jing responded next to him.
Xing'an said, "Long live, the rice brought by Baiminghe is afraid that it is more than this amount. According to what I know, Baiminghe is likely to bring more than one million stones of rice to Beijing. Yang Neng, Guangdong lent most of Guanghaiwei's ships to Baiminghe to transport grain. According to the size of the fleet they borrowed, I think it is far more than one million stones."
Zhu Qiyu's heart was also raised and he never listened to it as a joke.
"You keep going!"
"Long live, I still know. Bai Minghe's excuse to go to Beijing this time was to offer prisoners, saying that they were prisoners, but the specific reason was unknown, but the news from the Guangdong Dusi Yamen was that Bai Minghe chased the Japanese fleet in the South China Sea and killed more than a thousand heads. Later, in order to thank the Leizhou Guards, Lianzhou Guards, Qionghai Guards, and Guanghai Guards for sending troops to help. Bai Minghe thanked the Guangdong Dusi Yamen for the value of more than 200,000 taels of silver!"
When Xing'an reported here, he was also a little uneasy.
He quickly added: "Long live, I don't know where the silver from Baiminghe comes from. I just know that when Baiminghe left the capital, I rewarded him with 100,000 taels."
"I want to know too! But I don't care about this." Zhu Qiyu has been emperor for more than a year and is very politically sensitive.
Xing'an quickly said, "Long live. I think the real purpose of Bai Minghe coming to Beijing is to Xuanfu and Datong. Yang Neng did not have this scheming and had no vision. I am afraid that someone else in the army came up with this idea. Bai Minghe came to Beijing, and if he really brought a million stones of rice, he would inevitably affect the layout of Xuanfu and Datong."
"Who wants to reach out?" Zhu Qiyu's tone became stern.
After thinking for a moment, Xing'an said: "Long live, I'm afraid that they will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty this time."
Zhu Qiyu thought in his heart and also reacted: "It's reasonable. The two governors are now incompetent. You said some time ago that Shi Heng has ambitions for the position left by Yang Hong, and Shi Heng has some talent. But it's not the same as Yang Hong. So this time, I figured out who is with whom!"
As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu would definitely not point out the name of a person, and it would be inappropriate if it was spread.
"Long live, Bai Minghe was probably treated as a chess piece this time, and he was a small pawn across the river, just used it as a temptation. The real game is still in the hands of those big men behind!" Xing'an put forward his own idea.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Cheng Gongxuan, what do you think?"
"Long live in my heart, I only say a few words. The Baiming He may have jumped in by himself. They thought Baiming He was a small pawn crossing the river, but it was really a cannon, a horse, or a chariot. It was all based on the hand of Long live!" Cheng Jing cleverly said Zhu Qiyu's thoughts. In fact, Zhu Qiyu really thought so.
"That's right. I'm naturally determined whether it's a small man or not." Zhu Qiyu had a little smile on her face.
Xing'an asked again: "Long live, do you want me to send someone to investigate the origin of these silver coins in the hands of Bai Minghe."
"No, wait for him to come to Beijing. He brought 500,000 stones of rice to Xuanfu and Datong. I want to see what he brought to me. When I see him, I come to ask him in person about the origin of the money. I have said that I can trust him."
Zhu Qiyu thought to himself, Bai Minghe, you alone, dare to donate the taxes in Guangdong for one year, talent!
"Long live, I don't care!" Cheng Jing gave an idea.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood and laughed heartily: "Okay, I won't ask any one, I will follow you!"
No matter how good you ask, it is better to ask. On the one hand, it shows the emperor's trust in Bai Minghe, and on the other hand, it is enough to show Bai Minghe's loyalty. This is something that has something to do in front of you.
Bai Minghe could not hide the origin of his money, as it was related to his own head safety.
So if you don’t ask, you’re smarter than asking!
Xing'an reported again: "Long live, the messenger from Guangdong will be in Beijing in at most two days. Should the news of the white-famous crane coming to Beijing to offer prisoners? "
"Let me go!" Zhu Qiyu's tone increased several degrees.
Three days later, the white-known crane was still floating on the sea. However, there had been news that the white-known crane was going to Beijing to offer prisoners. Donating grain does not require official documents, and only the East Factory can find out about this matter. Even if the rest of the people know the news, they will not be able to get it so quickly.
Shanglu Mansion.
Shang Lu, who had returned to the palace, handed a piece of paper to the young man who was waiting for him in the palace, and then entered the study with Yu Qian and Mao Sheng, and the young man followed him into the study.
This young man is naturally the younger brother of the white-known Heron, the white-known Heron.
After Bai Minghe’s wedding, Bai Minghe left Xi’an Prefecture for only two days, Bai Minglu followed her second uncle Bai Chongyuan to the capital. It took only half a month to arrive in the capital, and it only took five days to officially start studying here in Shanglu.
"Minglu, what do your brother Bai Minghe want to do?" Shang Lu asked after sitting down.
"The student doesn't know, but according to my brother's actions over the past few months, after he arrived in the capital, the capital caused some misfortune due to the death of the Old General Yang, and it might be even more misfortune!" Bai Minglu didn't dare to say that he knew his brother. Bai Minghe was no longer something he could understand now.
Bai Minghe did something in the capital, Bai Minglu was scared to death after hearing this.
"Stand by the side!" Shang Lu signaled the white-famous elephant to retreat.
After all, the white-famous heron is still young, so I have benefited a lot from listening to the opinions of several seniors here.
"The white-name and crane are famous. This time, he dared to borrow the warships from Guangdong Dusi to come to the capital with great fanfare. He was not here to do good deeds, but he didn't know what Long Live this time. If in order to balance the forces of all parties, then the candidate who replaces General Yang this time should be Hu Yi's person!"
Yu Qian shook his head: "Shi Heng has already gained the upper hand, I'm afraid he will definitely win."
"He is not enough. Even if he sits on the position of Old General Yang, he will not have the power of Old General Yang. Unless he can add a few people in. If he is the only one, he will probably not be so anxious to start. He will definitely arrange his subordinates first, and then he will be himself. And now the Nine Towns are stable, so it is estimated that this matter will be in the autumn."
Mao Sheng’s theory is explained from the perspective of military management and control.
It cannot be said that there is no reason. Shi Heng will definitely not let himself be a commander without a chance.
"It would be great if the Right Censor Li Bing could be appointed as the governor of Xuanfu." Yu Qian felt a little lack of confidence when he said this. In terms of qualifications, Li Bing was a Jinshi in the first year of Zhengtong. He had only been an official for sixteen years and had no great achievements. It was a gift to be able to sit in the position of Right Censor.
The governor is not a small official, but the governor is the important position of money, grain and military affairs in a town.
The white-known Lu stood aside, with his hands hanging down and listening silently. He could not understand these government affairs. However, Shang Lu said that he had read enough of the Four Books and Five Classics, and what he missed was not the meaning of the scriptures, but the knowledge. This was a very different point from his brother Bai Minghe.
Bai Minghe's Four Books and Five Businesses gave Bai Minghe a bad review from the provincial examination paper.
But Bai Minghe's insight is to describe it as extremely excellent, but it is not enough to evaluate Bai Minghe's vision and insight.
"Minglu, what do you think?" Shang Lu asked.
"Reply to the teacher's words, the student is willing to persuade his brother to help him. The brother once said that among the people he respects most, there is Yu Gong's seat. What's more, the teacher puts the student into the wall, and my brother is also deeply grateful. In addition, the love between me and my brother, the brother will definitely be willing!"
Shang Lu, Yu Qian, Mao Sheng. The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Shang Lu felt that he was a little out of control, so he forced himself to hold back his laughter and waved his hand at Baiming Lu: "Minglu, the Baiminghe you know is just your brother. Baiminghe we know is an official of the Ming Dynasty, don't underestimate him. The strategy used by Baiminghe before leaving Beijing was an open plot, but even if the open plot could see through his mind, the entire Ming Dynasty court would not have more than ten people."
"That's right, until now, I still don't understand how Bai Minghe planned it."
"Don't try to persuade me. If you can't persuade me, I will not agree. Don't say it's you, even if I go to the White Named Hero personally, I may not be able to sell my official face for this matter. The White Named Hero will never enter the capital for no reason. After hearing this news, I was very nervous because behind Bai Minghe is Long Live the present."
Yu Qian's tactful statement.
The fact is that the white-famous genus is still young and does not understand what officialdom is.
The white-famous elephant quickly saluted: "Thank you Lord Yu for your teachings!"
Yu Qian nodded: "This time, the white-famous He came to Beijing, I'm afraid many people will not be able to sleep well."
People who are stable and sleeping are not only in the capital. Since their debut, Bai Minghe has been shocked by more than those in the capital in just a few months.
The little prince had not had a good sleep for two nights and personally supervised the transport of batches of rice to Pataya Harbour. He carried a letter written by his father, and the contents in the letter were in Siamese and Chinese. The contents were just to show friendship to the white crane.
The little prince wants only one now.
It's not trade, but Battambang.
The Khmer province, which is less than 200 miles away from Pataya, is also the capital of the Khmer, and is a huge threat to Pataya, the largest port in Siam.
But what the young man's father, the old Dachengwang, wanted was to gain huge benefits in the already chaotic Myanmar.
In this way, amid the expectations of the Siam Kingdom, the fleet of white-named cranes finally came.
