The next thing I had to wait, wait for Shi Heng to enter Beijing, and wait for Wei Li to get on the trap.

The house of Baiminghe is just a four-entry house in an ordinary capital by size, and by level, it is a level of the fourth rank and the third rank. However, the internal layout is at the level of the Duke or even the prince. In addition, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty allowed Baiminghe to use the part of the original Prince's Mansion next to it.

So it's even more luxurious.

Sitting under the osmanthus tree, smelling the fragrance of osmanthus, drinking osmanthus wine, and playing the song of Qinglou. There are plums next to me feeding cut fruits. The white crane squinted his eyes, shook his head slowly, holding a book of the Analects of Confucius in his hand, as if he was reading, but in fact he was planning in his heart.

Another businessman who came to pay his respects left. Bai Hong asked in a low voice in front of the pavilion: "Young Master, the Qin Bang from the Liu family. It was Liu Zhi who had met in Hepu. He said he had brought the letter from the Grandma's family. There is no name from the Liu family among the merchants who agreed to the appointment. You see, Master, or not."

"It's a little trouble!" Bai Minghe opened his eyes and sat up.

"I'm afraid that the Qin Gang had asked his family to come here for some requests. Or maybe the family wanted to go further in business, so he asked the Liu family to come here. According to seniority, Liu Zhi is an elder, and the young master is going to call him uncle again. It's too early to see him, and if he doesn't see him, he loses courtesy, so the young master is embarrassed!"

Qinghe is really smart, and she expresses Bai Minghe’s thoughts in just a few words.

"The plan will be released!"

"Call the second young master here, you can attack and retreat and defend!" Qinghe also said in the tone of Bai Minghe.

After thinking about it, Bai Minghe thought it was a good idea: "Bai Hong, go and ask the kitchen to be more sumptuous at noon. Then immediately send someone to find Minglu. If the second uncle has time, call him, it would be better if he has no time. Mr. Liu, tell him first, the merchants who have already made an appointment to discuss something, and ask him to stay in the mansion for dinner together at noon, and ask me to wait for me."

Bai Hong responded and went to do his business.

It was the ninth day that Bai Minghe had arrived in the capital. Shi Heng had just entered the capital and had to wait two days if he had any reaction. For so many days, Bai Minghe had not visited his second uncle Bai Chongyuan's mansion, nor had he seen his younger brother Bai Minglu. It was not that he didn't want to see him, but that he could not see him.

The Bai Minghe met here not from the top ten business groups, but from some small business groups.

It's small, but it's not too small.

For example, several large commercial banks in Beijing have not small business, and they also have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, and millions of taels of silver are posted. What does Baiminghe do when he meets these people? He rents land, but only rents it but not sells it. The place is the original quarry, and it is not a double price, and he is willing to buy it. The Baiminghe who came has met and signed a contract in person.

Don't want to get over it!

Moreover, the land cannot be selected, and the size is determined by the white-known crane. What is the decision of the white-known crane.

You can’t do anything else in a restaurant, and you can’t do serious business even if you open a brothel.

In modern terms, it is the commercial street planning, and the land used is the original quarry. In addition to selling land, the white-known crane also acts in the agency business. Many goods that had never been seen in the Ming Dynasty were handed over to at most two agents, and they were interlaced. For example, one agency represented wood and smoked spices, and the other agency was smoked spices and sugar. The spices were also divided very finely, and they could be eaten, used, and worked. They were all separated.

This is a bully clause, but no one is forced to sign the contract. It’s just that sentence, if you want, you can sign it or not.

It was almost noon when the white-famous heron came over and brought a strange boy with him, who was about the same age as the white-famous heron.

"My nephew Bai Yingjie kowtowed to Uncle Minghe!" The young man kowtowed three times to Bai Minghe. Bai Minghe had not yet realized who this was, but he had given all the gifts, so he had to help the person up first. At this time, Bai Minglu introduced: "Yingjie came from Jiangxi and is now studying in the Imperial College."

"Okay. It is definitely great to study hard!" What else can Bai Minghe say?

Bai Yingjie was a very introverted person. After responding, he stood aside.

Lunch is a family dinner, and no outsiders are asked to serve. The two brothers of Bai Minghe, plus they are younger generation Bai Yingjie, and finally they are guests. In fact, Bai Minghe also calls him "Liu Zhi," Liu Zhi.

After drinking for three rounds, Bai Minghe took the letter from home and read it quickly. He didn't read the words of greetings and care at all. The two keywords he saw the most are Yansui and the other is the border market.

In fact, during this period of the Ming Dynasty, there were thirteen important defense points along the border defense line, which were actually places where many merchants traded privately. Liu Zhi came over very simply, and they exchanged for a lot of mutton, sheepskin, and wool. However, the number of these things was much greater than the demand of several northwest provinces.

Moreover, the price of sheep is getting lower and lower, and there is almost no profit.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for bringing Minghe's letters to Minghe, respecting Mr. Liu!" Bai Minghe raised his glass, and Liu smiled and accompanied him with a glass of wine. Bai Minghe put down his glass and held the letters in his arms, but he did not mention the letters at all.

"Minglu, a great talent in Shanggong, you must study hard. If you become an official in the court in the future, you will have great achievements." Bai Minghe thought there was no need to write a letter from his family. It took a long time since I saw his younger brother, so there is nothing wrong with caring about Bai Minglu.

Since it is a letter from home, there is no need for Bai Minghe to answer actively. If you want to answer, you are also writing a letter to go home. Unless you, Liu Zhi, speak actively, this matter is no longer a matter of the Bai family, but a problem between Bai Minghe and the Shaanxi business gang. This is also Qinghe’s idea and avoidance!

If the white-famous Heron is not present, then the white-famous Heron cannot sit with Liu Zhi, and it is easy to get into the family letter.

Hearing Bai Minghe's words, Bai Minglu quickly stood up: "What my brother said is that Shang Gong is a talented man, and I have benefited a lot. We should study hard and make a difference in the provincial examination three years later, so we will not humiliate Shang Gong's reputation."

"Study is one thing. Only by eating well, resting well, being strong can you have enough strength to study, and in the future, you will have enough strength to do something for the Ming Dynasty and the people." Bai Minghe raised his chopsticks in one fell swoop: "Come on, eat more. These are not the delicacies we can see in Guanzhong."

After greeting the white-famous Hero, the white-famous He said again: "Mr. Liu, please, too!"

Liu Zhi understood that Bai Minghe didn't want to pay attention to these things, and he was afraid that some of the secrets of Bai Minghe knew that Bai Minghe was not less than them.

These border cities are all governors and eunuchs secretly. It is obvious that the white-famous He does not want to stick to these things.

Do you want to speak again?

Liu Zhi had no idea. Originally, looking for Bai Minghe was just a plan of rights and interests, and he did not put his hope on Bai Minghe. After all, Bai Minghe was just a seventh-rank official and a county magistrate in Guangdong. Even if there were some methods, they might not be able to affect the border town.

After dinner, Bai Minghe took the three of them to the garden of the former Prince's Mansion next to him.

When Bai Minghe was admitted to the hospital, he secretly handed over his letter to Huamei.

Huamei sent the letter from her family to Cheng Kai, and at the same time copied a copy of the important content to Qinghe.

After thinking, Qinghe came to Bai Minghe's study room and asked through the window: "Mr. Cheng, what do you think you should do about this? Originally, I meant to let my young master avoid it, but now it seems that it is related to the benefits of the entire Bai family, and it is no longer just a matter of the Shaanxi merchant gang."

"Mrs. I was thinking right, but there were some hidden things. The things done by each town in private were not glorious. Cheng Kai did not dare to speak nonsense, but in fact, the matter of changing the towns made the military farms occupied by the military supervisor and the guards. If the border towns did not have the income from the border city, it would be difficult to maintain. This was the court's business, not the Lord Bai's business."

Cheng Kai didn't want Bai Minghe to stick to the towns in hand. Datong and Xuanfu are exceptions, and the rest of the towns are not that simple.

Qinghe asked again: "What are the great ideas of Mr. Cheng?"

"I don't know how much silver you can have in Lord Bai's hands. My idea is that Lord Bai can take over some of the tea, cloth and other goods to relieve the pressure. Long live the wisdom of the current situation, and the affairs of the border town may change in a few years. So it is hard to say that it can be slowed down for a few years, maybe there is another way out!"

Qinghe knew that Bai Minghe had already had a relationship and wanted Cheng Kai to go to Hepu to be the county magistrate, so there was something to say.

Thinking of this, Qinghe said: "How much tea, cloth, and how much does Shaanxi merchants have? How much can my young master collect? And it can be paid for even ten times."

"Since that's the case, then Mrs. Qinghe has an idea!"

"Thank you, Lord Cheng!" Qinghe thanked her, quickly left and sent a message to Huamei, and asked her to secretly tell Bai Minghe.

Cheng Kai in the house talks with Qinghe through the window, which is a necessary etiquette. Because Qinghe is already the concubine of the white-famous He, it is rude to face to face.

Although he was through the window, he couldn't see his face. Cheng Kai could also feel Qinghe's confidence and pride.

You can collect as much as you can, and you can also get ten times more. What a domineering thing!

Cheng Kai was also deeply moved. Even the Ministry of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty dared not say this, but Bai Minghe's concubine dared. If it were replaced by Bai Minghe, how would Bai Minghe answer? It seems that the money, grain and goods worth millions of taels of silver transported to the capital were just the tip of the iceberg that Bai Minghe held in the hands of the wealth.

At this time, Bai Minghe had led the three of them into the side garden.

Sitting down in the pavilion, a maid brought tea and snacks.

Hua Mei whispered a few words in Bai Minghe's ear, telling Bai Minghe the content of Qinghe's conversation with Cheng Kai.

After asking the three people to go to the house, Bai Minghe said, "Ming Lu, write a letter to the family for his brother. He only said that everything is good for his brother, please feel at ease and ask grandma not to worry about it. As an official in the court, he naturally needs to do his best. By the way, he asks the family to collect some tea and transport some cotton cloth to Hepu, so he can transport as much as possible."

The white-famous elephant nodded and asked the maid to write it with paper and pen.
