DAY 185 Big Shots

It turned out that the Baiming He, who was full of energy, suddenly looked embarrassed.

"This is really a difficult task for me. I don't know some things, but I just brought some craftsmen from the palace, steamed essential oils, finely ground powder, many dried petals, various barks, grass roots, etc. These things must be filled with a container!"

Bai Minghe said, and walked to a huge wine jar: "This is called Yilanhua. There are not many in Siam, but there are many in another place. This essential oil is very good. How can I do good? My official has not studied these things. Only several palace maids in the palace have said that even if this essential oil is a tribute, it is a top-quality product!"

Bai Minghe really doesn't know these things. What he said is also a big truth, but his words make people feel more fond of. Bai Minghe is knowledgeable, which is no longer a rumor. Anyone who knows Bai Minghe's name will label him with a knowledgeable reputation.

Such people have good morals if they don’t know.

The old man stepped forward and smelled it for a moment and bowed his hand: "Sir, this is a waste of things. Such essential oils need to be sealed with fine porcelain. Although this jar of wine will not leak, the essence is lost from the invisible holes of the pottery. It can be said that every day when using such jars, the grade of this fine quality will be reduced by one portion!"

After saying that, the old man looked at the rest.

"The powder of adults should be..., the best longannaoxiang ice. Compared with this, the product from Yunnan and Guizhou is the difference between heaven and earth. Unfortunately, this is poorly preserved. The bottle containing this powder must be double-layered, and the bottom layer is made of ceramic. The powder is put into the bottle and sealed with a crock. The layer at the bottom should be wrapped with quicklime in linen to remove moisture..."

This old man can tell flowers even if he can tell a bottle.

There were dozens of spices placed here in the Baiminghe, and the old man actually knew half of them. It can be said that the bottles of each type were different.

"If you bring these back, I have 147 kinds of spices here. I am not afraid of you making jokes. I don't even have a fraction of them. Several major merchants are convening good craftsmen who have a deep research on spices and medicinal materials. They always have to list these spices. Don't say that the task is heavy. The Jiangxi Gang is responsible for filling various essential oil bottles alone, and there are only 1.3 million pieces. The rest are still in the design."

After listening to Bai Minghe’s speech, Chaozhou gave the old man a gift: “Can we allow us to discuss together?”

"The top ten business gangs, your Guangdong gang is also one of them. Some special spices cannot withstand transportation and must be processed at the place of origin. This official has given regulations and is temporarily responsible for the allocation with Mr. Xie of Hui gang. You can do the important business. Remember to make a promise to me. If you cannot do it, you will be fined one year next year!"

"Thank you!" The merchants from Guangdong gave in unison.

These things are naturally and convenient to transport, and they are used as samples. Bai Minghe believes that letting them steam essential oils will definitely be much better than this in quality.

After saying this, Bai Minghe turned around.

"Come on, get the letter from my official to the Fujian merchant gang. It's here and let them read it for themselves. If they don't accept it, it's not too late to come and defend it. If they accept it, just do it as you do."

Bai Minghe actually gave a long time to deal with the Fujian business gang. It seems that Bai Minghe has already understood it.

Since the letter is open, it needs to be read out in public. The Fujian Business Group chose a young man to start reading. The first sentence is that the Fujian Business Group fined 8 million taels of silver.

The fine of eight million taels of silver scared the entire Fujian business gang and the people watching the fun.

Adding up the property of all merchants in Fujian may not be able to reach these eight million taels. Is such a huge number to force people to death?

The person with obvious identity was not ordinary, but was stopped by the representative of the Fujian Business Gang. The old man in charge: "Mr. Bai, our Fujian Business Gang discussed it before coming. We are lucky for our children and grandchildren. Even if we keep our lives today, we will not refuse at all. The eight million taels of fine silver will be recognized by our Fujian Business Gang."

"Continue!" Bai Minghe had no expression on his face.

Article 2: The Fujian Gang will send 30,000 carpenters.

Thirty thousand people, this is a carpenter, it’s not as simple as just pulling a farmer.

I gritted my teeth and recognized it again. If the 30,000 carpenters really didn't work, I would go to the north to buy slave craftsmen, and I would also give this number.

Article 3. Fujian must develop five types of top-quality tribute teas within one year, which must be truly famous teas that can compete with Longjing.

This is a big dilemma. Fujian has many mountains and many teas. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, tea business is very good, but it is famous. Although there are tributes in Fujian, compared with Longjing, which is famous all over the world, there is really no tea that can be compared with the world-famous Longjing. There are five kinds of white-famous cranes, which is to force people to death.

"Sir, if you can't do this tea, please use the old man's head to give the children another year of grace!"

"That means, you should punish me." Bai Minghe's tone was still calm.

The people from the Fujian Gang spoke in unison: "I've agreed!"

"Okay, let's talk about eight million taels of silver first. I have to ask some trouble for some people recently, and they don't take our Ming Dynasty seriously. Long live also think that they should learn some lessons. Qiongdao Coconut Oil I heard that you finally prepared a new business with a number of no less than five hundred people for this official, and gave me 100,000 barrels of coconut oil every year. For every more than one thousand barrels, I will reward me with one stone. The purchase price of each barrel of this official is thirty taels of silver."

Hiss... Everyone was surprised. What a high price.

Currently, there are coconut oil that is used by women to apply hair, and only a few people use it to eat it. Because it is too expensive, there are not many people selling it on the market for about five cents of silver. It is the price of one stone of rice.

But the purchase price of Baiminghe is about one pound or one ounce.

"The coconut oil you want should be different from the ordinary goods sold on the Guangzhou market. Please help me solve your doubts!"

"I want to cold-press. Go and study the oil pressing machine, otherwise 100,000 barrels are not a small number."

One hundred thousand barrels is three million taels of silver. If it is doubled, then it will be six million taels of silver plus the reward of Baiminghe. The reward of 100 thousand barrels is one hundred stones of gold, and another one.6 million taels of silver. It seems that this item alone will be the fine of Baiminghe for eight million taels of silver.

If you do it later, you will earn it yourself. Such a huge business will probably be affected by half of Fujian.

"Fujian eight mountains, one river and one field. There are many mountains and trees. Thirty thousand carpenters sent to Fujian Dushi to help build ships. Everyone is given eight stones of rice every month. Excellent workers can give thirty stones, and those great boatmen can have no problem with a hundred stones a month. If the top is not capped, you are responsible for the organization. Everyone can draw 100% of the labor fee to you."

Not much heard.

But based on the years, just organizing the commission for manual work in this year, you will earn no less than 400,000 stones of rice. This is a big business. In any small business, you will be frightened by this business.

"Last one!" Bai Minghe reached out and threw out a book: "This is some of my experiences about Fujian tea. Don't always stare at green tea. Fujian's black, white and black tea are all top-notch goods. My official's understanding of tea is not good, I just think it is to give you an introduction and make up the tea. I will collect you five million taels of silver a year."

"Thank you for your kindness!" The Fujian merchants all knelt down.

Bai Minghe waved his hand: "Every family's task is not light. Don't take this small amount of money seriously by millions of taels. You will be deducted 20% of this money every time you trade it, until it is deducted. Go and have a meeting with other merchants. There are some small things that are indispensable."

Fujianese are trembling with excitement.

The onlookers were scared to death. Millions of taels of silver were small money. Look at the Minister of Revenue, do you think this is what you said. But Bai Minghe really said it in front of so many people.

The white-name crane will never tell them that the annual output value of hundreds of millions of taels of silver can be digested by themselves. If pure trade is not enough, there is absolutely no problem if you use cannons to add trade. Southeast Asia is very big, but there is also Central Asia and Europe.

But they didn't know that the people of the three gangs in Jiangnan were already crazy. Bai Minghe drove each gang, and tea alone cost 8 million taels. The sackcloth directly asked each gang, and three thousand looms must be prepared before the New Year.

What is an imperial merchant? The white-famous crane holds heavy troops and controls the lifeblood of trade.

Bai Minghe understood that as long as he was willing, he could even control the entire earth's economy in the future. And no one could defeat him!

After being sent to Fujian, Bai Minghe then came to the obviously big shot and bowed: "At this time, can you report yourself?"

"Xu Chengzong, an official in Nanjing, was the governor of the Central Army. He was in charge of military affairs in Nanjing. His ancestors were granted the title of Duke of Wei!"

Bai Ming Hexin sucked his heart. He was a real big shot. The Duke of the State, who was the one who was the power of military power. The descendant of Xu Da, known as the King of Nanjing, was the Xu family of Duke of Wei.

"No wonder, I felt a cold murderous aura just now. The Duke of the Kingdom is someone who has been on the battlefield!" Bai Minghe smiled and bowed again. If he wanted to act extremely respectfully at this time, this Duke would not like it.

Xu Chengzong nodded: "This time, the Fujian Dushi was my brother's personal soldier back then. I want to give this face. The Fujian Commercial Gang has contributed a lot to the Fujian Dushi over the years. If it weren't for them, all the Fujian ships would be rotten in the sea. So the Fujian Commercial Gang also wants to seek face."

"The Duke thought, how did I deal with it?"

"You are very smart, but your heart is cruel enough. All the oil mills in Fujian can't squeeze out 30,000 barrels of oil a year. You are forcing them to pay attention to craftsmen. Only better workshops and better technology can accomplish your tasks. Merchants die for money, and the wealth you give is too great, and they will do their best to do things well."

Bai Minghe smiled: "This is also for the Ming Dynasty!"

"How about the northern defense?" Xu Chengzong called Yang Neng over and signaled Bai Minghe to talk to him into the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Bai Minghe said: "If there is no 2 million taels of silver in Xuanfu a year, don't think about being strong and strong. Yu Gong is in a difficult situation, so I am very worried. So I suggest using the Kongming Six Conquer Central Plains strategy to attack instead of defense. Yu Gong accepted my suggestion, but narrowed the scope of the attack to Hetao!"

PS: The third update.

When I woke up, I felt very surprised, and I reflected on it even more.
