138 I Have Two Hundred Stones of Gold

Let’s not talk about how delicious this food called wings is. Just a ferocious dragon, if you can eat its wings, it will be enough to show its domineering spirit.

It weighs eighty stones and is six feet long. If you bite someone, you don’t need to say that the result of Bai Minghe will have only one result, that is, death.

Bai Minghe also said: "The sea people are afraid of sharks. The shark can cut the bottom of the boat by just the dorsal fins passing under the water. Under the impact of an adult shark with all his strength, even a wooden boat of five hundred materials may not be able to block a blow."

"Why is this wing not the head of the Eight Treasures?" Shi Heng asked curiously.

"Because this thing has no replenishment, it's too far from sea cucumber. It's very delicious. I will bring a few precious shark fins when I go to Beijing next time. In addition to offering long live, I will definitely leave some!" Bai Minghe's words are sincere. He will definitely do the shark, not to eat it, but to make the fishermen in the South China Sea safer.

Bai Minghe explained his eight treasures one by one.

Finally, Gao Gu and Shi Heng reacted the same way. Bai Minghe was really well-known for his reading and the rumors were correct. Compared with the Eight Delicatess of Bai Minghe, these Eight Delicatess are much inferior. However, it also showed that Bai Minghe is not a greedy person. As for what Bai Minghe likes the most, I am afraid I will inquire about it again.

A person who doesn't care about anything must not become friends.

After the banquet, Mo Chou and others naturally gave the money to go back. Gao Gu brought Bai Minghe into his study. This study was not the first time that Bai Minghe came to this study, but the feeling of coming every time was about the same, and they came to negotiate.

"White-famous He, I won't go around with you. The people who are in circles with you have been surrounded by them. I will go straight with you. I ask you, why did you come to Beijing, and how many truths can you answer me. There is no need to tell lies."

Since it's straight to the point, it's just telling the truth.

"The first is Yang Xin and the Yang Yi brothers who entered Beijing. They called me "Brother", so I naturally had to save them enough face. The second is Yu Qian and Lord Yu. When I left Beijing, I said that as long as I went to Hepu, I would prepare one million stones of food for Lord Yu and serve him as military rations! Third, I went to Beijing for myself. The few things I did in Hepu were all the death penalty for beheading. I wanted to go to Beijing to give me an explanation, and even more so that I could keep my head."

The white-famous crane blurted out without thinking.

There were a few copies of Gao Gu’s letters, but Bai Minghe didn’t know. But from the expression, Shi Heng believed at least 80%. There was no change in expression on Gao Gu’s face, and he was really an old fox.

"Then I ask you again, where is your food?"

"I killed more than 5,000 Japanese people and robbed them of enough goods. I saved the Governor of Nanzhang and the Prince of Siam, and indirectly helped them to exempt them from tribute to the Japanese. So, the Japanese people gave them the goods. They used food to repay me. Later, I became more courageous and collected silk and porcelain from the whole of Guangdong, exchanged for more food, and other things. So I said this was the death penalty of beheading, and there must be an explanation."

The words of Baiminghe are all truth.

Baiminghe can't hide the matter in Guangdong, and everyone in the world knows about the maritime ban.

The white-known crane went into the sea privately. It was a serious crime, and making friends with the Gentiles was even more serious crimes. He also used silk to exchange food privately, which was even more serious crimes among the serious crimes.

Gao Gu also believed 80%, or even 90%.

Guangdong Dusi has ships, people have goods, but they are regular soldiers, they are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They dare to go into the water and rebel, so they cannot do such a thing.

The merchants in Guangdong were unable to do anything and were robbed by pirates when they left the sea. Even if they did some small business, they would not be able to make such a big deal as Bai Minghe. It was just how much goods the Bai Minghe had, how much they shipped, and how much they stayed in Guangdong. No one really knew. Gao Gu had thought that there might not be more than ten people in the world who knew this number.

These ten people, Bai Minghe and Long Live the present. Guangdong Yang Neng may not know the detailed account.

The next eight people, one of them must be the White-Ming He accountant, may be Qinghe. Five of the other seven people were from Nanzhang and Siam. On the Ming Dynasty, Deng Hailong was most likely to know that the other person might be Xing'an. Because without Xing'an secretly helping Baiming He, Baiming He could not pass the long live hurdle.

Thinking about all this clearly, Gao Gu knew it in his heart.

"White-Ming Crane, what do you want next?"

"Governor of the Cao Transport!" Bai Minghe's eyes were secretly observing Shi Heng when he said this.

Sure enough, Shi Heng's reaction was very fierce. It seemed that he was very concerned about the governor of the canal transportation.

Gao Gu secretly called Shi Heng calm down and said to Bai Minghe: "You are just a seventh-rank county magistrate!"

"Sir Gao, I have two hundred stones of gold." Bai Minghe responded.

Takaya said again: "You don't have any help in the court, and you don't have enough collaborators to sit on this Governor!"

"Sir Gao, I have 200 stones of gold!" Bai Minghe still said this.

Gao Gu thrust his face, suppressing his anger and said, "This governor of the canal transportation needs at least more than a hundred officials to recommend it!"

"Sir Gao, I have two hundred stones of gold!"

When Bai Minghe emphasized for the third time that he had 200 stones of gold, Shi Heng finally couldn't help but get angry: "Bai Minghe, can you change it? What's wrong with you having 200 stones of gold? What can you do? Can gold kill people?"

Gao Gu was so amused by these two people that he could only say one sentence: "Two hundred stones of gold can really kill people!"

"You!" Shi Heng almost rolled his eyes when he was choked, but he was awakened by the words. Now was not the time for him to be impulsive. He sat down angrily and heard Gao Gu ask Bai Minghe: "Bai Minghe, two hundred stones of gold, is indeed huge, but what are you planning to use?"

"Master Gao, I definitely don't dare to give gifts and bribes. But there are more than three million taels of silver in 200 stone of gold, and it will be seven million taels of rice in exchange for rice. I have two people to support me, one is the Governor Mao Shengmao, and the other is the Governor and the Governor Guo Dengguo. No need to do more, one million taels of silver will be donated to build the river. In addition, a large amount of money and grain rewards are given to the garrison!"

Two million stones of gold, Gao Gu wanted to scold him.

The amount of money is really huge. If the white-famous crane only holds the gold, it is like a child holding a knife. No matter how good or sharp the knife is, it is just a good thing. It may be snatched away.

But who is Mao Sheng? Who is Guo Deng? These two people are Yu Qian's iron-kicks, which means that a person like Yu Qian is holding two million stones of gold, and a martial arts master is holding a peerless treasure sword. He is a martial artist who is not good enough to even dare to go on the field. Even if he goes on the field, warriors of the same level will be afraid of that knife.

Yu Qian! It turns out that behind the white-famous crane is Yu Qian.

Do you want to win over? No! You should think clearly about the basis for the cooperation between Baiminghe and Yu Qian. Yu Qian is a straightforward person, but Baiminghe is a clever person. They are definitely not people on the same path. What is the reason for their cooperation this time? Thinking of Baiminghe's recent continuous meeting with people from the top ten business groups, the answer is about to come out.

What Baiminghe wants is the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, and what he wants is the transportation of goods from south to north.

With this item alone, if the Chaoguansong let go, Baiminghe's net profit per year was no less than 8 million taels. If he was given to him, he would have a million taels. In other words, Baiminghe could at least earn nearly one million taels of silver for three years.

It’s a good business, the white-famous crane really makes money.

"White-famous crane, I wish me the position of governor of the canal transportation and ensure that you will have your white flag ship in the next three years, and the billing fee will be reduced by half." Gao Gu offered his own conditions.

Baiminghe didn't answer.

He no longer needed to answer. Gao Gu's words meant that Gao Gu was attracted to the Governor of the Canal Transport, which was enough.

"Master Gao, this condition is boring to me. And here..." Bai Minghe hesitated for a moment, pretended to be thinking, and then said: "And I have not rejected General Mao's conditions!"

"I didn't refuse, nor did I agree!" Gao Gu chased after him.

The profits of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou have not been carefully calculated. The ones that were handed over to the Ministry of Revenue on the surface were definitely more than the amount of gold that Baiminghe had in private.

Shi Heng said at this time: "The Governor of the Canal Transport will definitely be located in Jiangnan, and the most likely ones are Huai'an, Changzhou and Zhenjiang. In order to avoid conflicts with Nanzhili, Nanjing, Suzhou and Yangzhou will definitely not. Your white-name crane's brain is definitely not an ordinary wealth, it should be salt!"

The white-known crane looked extremely surprised.

Of course, it was not that Bai Minghe's thoughts were guessed by Shi Heng, but Bai Minghe was surprised that Shi Heng could see the biggest profit point of the Grand Canal at a glance. Apart from salt, there is nothing that can be compared with it. Iron and grain are not enough. Silk is expensive, but in total, it is just a fraction of salt.

"Every year, three million stones of grain." The white-known crane offered a price.

According to the Ming Dynasty, from the Hongwu year, more food was found in the north due to the Tumu Fort change, the food in the north increased to three stones and one small stone was replaced by a small stone, which was 200 kilograms, and one kilogram in the Ming Dynasty was about 596 grams.

The conditions proposed by Bai Minghe need not be explained in detail, but they only exchange grain for salt.

The salt can reach as low as 380 kilograms of grain for salt, and exchange it for one stone of salt in the inland cities without salt. The price of salt can reach as high as 40 times, and the worst is 15 times the profit. Even if the Baiming He gets only one million s of salt, it will be taken to his Bai family in Guanzhong and then transported to the northwest.

Shipping costs may be twice to triple the value of these salts.

Then he didn't sell it himself and took action to the Shaanxi merchants. Bai Minghe only earned at least two or three million taels of silver a year.

It’s a good plan, and even Gao Gu has to say the word “super”.

After Takaya and Shi Heung looked at each other, there was a smile on their faces. Takaya then said to Bai Minghe: "This matter is important, how many days will I think about?"

"This is not a small matter, I have to think about it carefully and come to visit Gao Da Ren in two days."

Having said that, there is nothing to talk about. Gao Gu personally sent Bai Minghe to the inner gate, and it was impossible for him to send Bai Minghe to the gate as his identity.

Looking at Bai Minghe's back, Takaya said to Shi Heng: "Bai Minghe is very heartless and has a deep scheming. But he thought it was a little bit worse, why should he negotiate with us? Knowing his bottom line, he naturally has a way to deal with him!"
