110 Secret Talk
A good story told.
Zhu Qiyu is not a child. He knew that there must be several legends of this kind of red pearl. The Baiming He was probably talking about one of them, and maybe it was something that had actually happened. But a box of red pearls cannot be said to be stained with blood. There is no such pearl, such color, and such color, and the Ming Dynasty Palace.
Is Bai Minghe looking for excuses to offset the fact that he killed the Japanese?
"Give a seat and a refreshment!" Zhu Qiyu did not make a single word to evaluate the story of the Baiming He, at least it was not the time to evaluate it.
The white-known crane sat down: "Long live, this excuse was for all officials during the morning court."
Zhu Qiyu almost wanted to curse people. You, Bai Minghe, are you very brave. Are you teasing me?
Before Zhu Qiyu had the chance to get angry, Bai Minghe said again: "Long live, the real reason for killing the Japanese is that the Japanese have moved your silver. I have read the book about the frontier of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese are active within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so that the silver that should have belonged to you was taken away by them. Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can't!"
Boh..., Zhu Qiyu finally sprayed.
The real source of that sentence, except for the white-famous He, even Eunuch Cai, who was present, knew it. "The Analects of Confucius? Eight Qi": Confucius said to Ji, "The Eight Qi Qi dances in the courtyard, which is tolerant, but who is unbearable!"
But Bai Minghe said to him uncle and aunt, Bai Minghe, you are also a juren.
"Bai Minghe, you..." Zhu Qiyu was really amused and crying. When Eunuch Cai was wiping the tea on Zhu Qiyu next to him, Bai Minghe said: "Long live. Do you want to take a look at the tributes I brought to Long live!"
"Tribute, what can you do in Guangdong to surprise me?" Zhu Qiyu, as the emperor, hasn't seen anything else.
Bai Minghe pursed his lips, looked at Xing'an, then looked at Cheng Jing, and took out a three-inch scroll in his arms. Bai Minghe was sure that Xing'an did not report anything he brought to the emperor, but probably left him a chance to surprise the emperor.
"Long live, I bring one hundred and twenty-five stones..." Bai Minghe used the weight unit of stone.
When Zhu Qiyu heard about 125 stones, the first thing he thought of was white sugar, because only white sugar used more than 100 stones in this unit, which was barely considered an excellent excuse for the royal family.
"Gold!" Bai Minghe breathed heavily.
Boh.... The Emperor Daizong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu, sprayed again. He was drinking tea just now, but this time he rinsed his mouth with clean water. He just sprayed it on the table and clothes, and this time he sprayed Eunuch Cai's face.
"Bai Minghe!" Zhu Qiyu slapped the table hard. He wanted to get angry, but couldn't find a reason at the moment. Was Bai Minghe wrong? Where was the mistake? Is it because of the unit of stone used to describe gold?
"Move. Move all of me in. I want to see. I will cure you for deceiving the king if you lose one monday." Zhu Qiyu sneered.
Anyway, I slept for a day during the day and didn’t even have to go to court tomorrow. Zhu Qiyu planned to have a good chat with Bai Minghe!
"Long live, I'm afraid I can't put this Nan Study Room!" Xing'an said next to him.
"Set up the frame, the Palace of Supreme Harmony!" Zhu Qiyu became more and more interested.
Xing'an was still persuading. The Palace of Supreme Harmony might not be able to be opened, but was pulled by Jin Ying. Jin Ying whispered: "Tonight, we only need to listen!" Jin Ying advised, Xing'an still listened, and nodded quickly: "Yeah. Listen to you."
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is used to hold a grand tribute meeting, to receive foreign envoys, to receive tribute, etc.
The white-famous crane also brought tributes, and there was nothing wrong with it in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Xing'an walked first, while Zhu Qiyu returned to the back hall to change his clothes. Bai Minghe sat in the corner of Nan's study and thought about how to fill the navy and even expand the army. It is not enough to have benefits alone, and it may also require some false names, such as those who can record a note in history.
In Xing'an, there was no arrangement for the eunuchs in the palace to take action. The front palace had martial law and the eunuchs and maids were not allowed to come. All the goods were handled by the East Factory. After moving thousands of people for a full quarter of an hour, they steadily stuffed all of them into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
It was almost like putting something on the imperial platform.
After Zhu Qiyu brought Bai Minghe to the main gate of the Taihe Palace, Zhu Qiyu felt a lot of thoughts, doubts, joy, surprise, and some anger. The reason for his anger was that there must be some conspiracy that he could not understand. The conspiracy was not only Bai Minghe, but also the officials in the court.
Bai Minghe first found the box, pulled off the seal, opened one of them, and a box of gold bars full.
"Long live, a box is a stone. There are 1,600 pieces in total. There are 125 boxes here, which is 125 stone!" Bai Minghe said respectfully beside him.
Zhu Qiyu also opened a few of them casually, and it was really real.
Sitting on one of the boxes, Zhu Qiyu asked, "White-known crane, this is 200,000 taels of gold, and the price in the Ming Dynasty was 2 million taels of silver, and the people could get more than 2.2 million taels of gold."
Zhu Qiyu pointed to a box next to him: "Sit down." Bai Minghe sat down as he said. Then he ordered: "Cheng Gongxuan, tell Bai Minghe about the taxes from the Ming Dynasty last year. I remember that the grain in Guangdong Province is more than one million stones!"
"Long live back, Guangdong Province has 1.07 million stones of grain, 500 dan of raw silk, 210,000 kilograms of cotton, linen, silk, etc., and 670,000 taels of silver! Guangdong Dushiwei District's military farming office has 110,000 taels of silver! The man's service, firewood, grass, class and other items have 40,000 taels of silver."
Cheng Jing is not talking about national taxes, but only from Guangdong Province.
Regarding grain, Bai Minghe heard Chen Ada talk about it. But he didn't expect that there were other taxes besides grain.
"Bai Minghe, how much silver do you have these things worth?" Zhu Qiyu pointed to the boxes full of the Supreme Hall.
Bai Minghe handed over his scroll to Cheng Jing and replied: "Long live, I haven't calculated it. I just picked up all the best ones and moved them to Long Live. I dare not seek credit, but only seek a chance to make suggestions. I dare not expect long live agreeing, but only ask for long live, and I can consider my advice. My heart is a world that can be seen!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything, but just nodded at Cheng Jing.
Cheng Jing is in charge of intra-official affairs and is also in charge of purchasing many items, so he should be very good at estimating the value of the price.
Cheng Jing was going to read it quickly and then calculate it in detail, but when he saw it halfway, he stopped: "Long live, I can't calculate it. Some of these objects are priceless."
After saying that, Cheng Jing picked up the scroll with both hands, but Zhu Qiyu did not take over.
"Bai Minghe, let's talk about your advice. It's a reading record!"
Bai Minghe stood up: "Long live, my first words are. The official price comparison between gold and silver is one to ten, and the people are almost one to eleven to twelve. I know that in Japan, the price comparison between gold and silver is one to five, the people are one to four, or two to seven!"
"Do you want to go to the Japanese island to exchange?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.
If this is the request, Zhu Qiyu had already agreed in his heart for the astronomical gift of Bai Minghe.
But who would have thought that Bai Minghe shook his head: "Long live, I won't change it. My choice is to plunder!"
Bai Minghe used the word plunder specifically, which really shocked Zhu Qiyu. He immediately scolded Bai Minghe: "Where is the words of the saint you read?"
"Long live, please listen to my explanation." Bai Minghe was not nervous at all: "The Japanese came to our Ming coast to be thieves and thieves. The Japanese also put pressure on Nanzhang, and Siam asked them to pay tribute. Why?"
"Why?" Zhu Qiyu responded.
"The Japanese lived only an island, and they had to go out if they wanted to expand. I dared to say that when the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the king was not a king, and the ministers were not a minister, the barbarians on the grassland would dare to enter the Central Plains. I don't know how many people stared at this piece of fat piece of Ming Dynasty. It is hard to guarantee that the Japanese would be moved one day."
The words of Bai Minghe are already taboo.
But Zhu Qiyu did not scold Bai Minghe, but instead thought seriously. In a sense, Bai Minghe's words were good. Zhu Qiyu had shackles in his heart, so he asked Bai Minghe: "In the future, I will definitely record my military and military strength. I don't want to have this evaluation, nor dare to have it."
"I dare to ask long live, what if the grasslands are destroyed in the north? How will the history books be written?"
"Of course, it is to promote the Ming Dynasty and eliminate the barbarians. Restore our territory in China and show the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties again!" Zhu Qiyu stood up excitedly, clenched his fists and waved them.
The white-known crane knelt down: "Long live, the historical books were written by the victors. What did Emperor Taizong of Tang kill his brothers really look like? I am afraid that only those who participated know. What I remember in later generations are only those great achievements..."
The four words "great achievements" hit Zhu Qiyu's heart like a heavy hammer.
"I sincerely, long live to ask Lord Bai for a word." Xing'an actually stood up to speak for Bai Minghe despite Jin Ying's dissuasion.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and signaled Xing'an to stand aside first, then said to Bai Minghe: "You keep talking!"
"Long live, tens of thousands of islands of all sizes in the South China Sea have been occupied by bandits and Japanese pirates. The Ming Dynasty had a sea ban, and there were still people secretly going out to sea. In the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer people. It is not because of the deterrence of the sea ban. Instead, they will be killed when they go out of the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Who cares about the country of the Celestial Kingdom? Without a real steel knife on his neck, a few slogans can scare those bandits. It is really ridiculous."
The white-famous crane pointed to the boxes in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Long live, these are the profits I made from going to sea without ban. I have left some to those Guangdong soldiers who can only eat 70% full a day. I dared to ask for Long Live but pretend I didn't see it. I am willing to offer five million taels of silver to Long Live a year. I will help Yesen to offer it to the Taimiao of the Ming Dynasty!"
After Bai Minghe said that, he lay down on the ground, and took off his official hat with one hand and put it aside. This is to clarify his mind!
When Bai Minghe knelt down, all the four most powerful eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty knelt down.
However, the young Emperor Daizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu, was already in tears.
