246 Father White Arrives

It seems that everything has calmed down in Guangzhou City, and everyone has returned to their peaceful life.

More than a month has passed since the Japanese left Guangdong. Now there is less than two months left before the New Year. Officials in Guangdong and Fujian are nervously waiting for their political review, while looking forward to the first bank to raise money before the New Year.

Because Hu Yi, a veteran of the four dynasties, was in Guangzhou City, since the veteran did not respond, it seemed that the money could be held in his hand with confidence, which was much better than before.

There are three places in Guangdong that are very busy.

One is the yard responsible for the preliminary review of the political outlines of officials from the two provinces, the other is to plan to further penetrate the yard of Little Luzon, and the last is the yard that decides the share plan of each business group next year.

It is said that there are three yards, but in fact they are all in Chunhui Garden.

Several guests were taken to Chunhui Garden. They were important guests and had enough people to guard them. However, they were not very noble guests. At present, the fourth-rank official in Chunhui Garden is all small officials, so naturally no one will go to specially welcome these guests.

The only person in charge of greeting was Qinghe. Sun Yuanjun's belly had already risen. Even if she wanted to go, the palace maids in the garden would never let her go. Qinghe greeted Bai Minghe's father and several clan elders from the Bai family as the wife of the Bai family.

"My husband is busy, and there are dozens of volumes of files to read every day. All matters in Guangdong are spent on my husband. It is not that my husband doesn't understand the rules, but that we really don't dare to disturb me. These days seem calm, but it's really not calm. So I discussed with my wife, old man, you haven't let your husband know here."

Qinghe was explaining to Bai Minghe's father, Bai Chongxi.

Bai Chongxi naturally knew what his son's identity is now, so he would not talk about the identity of the horse. The Liu family in Guanzhong said to himself that Bai Minghe is the actual governor of two provinces, even the governor of three provinces and four provinces. If an official below the third rank wants to see Bai Minghe, he must report it one day in advance.

"You have worked hard to take care of Minghe. Minghe is busy with business, so you will naturally have to lose some personal feelings. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. Your family..." Bai Chongxi was just talking, and at the intersection of the small road, a middle-aged man with a noble spirit, obviously was a high-ranking middle-aged man. The murderous intent in his eyes and the momentum exuded on his body were frightened.

Qinghe bowed gently from the side. Before the gift was finished, the man walked over like a wind.

Qinghe quickly said to Bai Chongxi: "The one who just walked over was the Minister of War of the current dynasty, Lord Yu Qian!"

Bai Chongxi was very surprised, and he could see such a big shot here.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yu Qian kicking a door open and cursed: "Bai Minghe, you are going to rebel. Look at what you have done? A foreign country. You dare to kill someone to kill a river of blood and a strange king. Do you still have the Ming Dynasty in your eyes? Do you still have the civil and military officials in your eyes? Can you still have me, Yu Qian..."

Yu Qian was angry because he received a report.

The report was written in detail. Yang Shan perfectly completed what Bai Minghe told him and formed a closer alliance with Siam. At the same time, he supported the Khmer King's younger brother and directly entered the palace. He killed the former Khmer King and his sect's ministers. It was really blood flowing.

Not counting the dead soldiers, hundreds of Khmer nobles alone died.

Bai Chongxi was so scared that he was sweating all over. Several old members of the Bai family behind him were even weaker and could not walk a single step.

But Bai Minghe's voice came from inside the house: "Mr. Yu sat down and had a cup of tea to calm down. Always being so excited are not good for your heart. You are not young anymore, Yu Gong."

"Bad words!"

Yu Qian closed the door heavily. Several guards quickly guarded outside the door, and two of them blocked the door.

"Old man, why don't we go to the side yard first." Qinghe was also nervous and had some discomforts in her speech.

Bai Chongxi reacted, nodded quickly, and walked out almost jogging along the same route. Bai Chongxi finally breathed a sigh of relief after going to the cave gate. He was just an ordinary civilian and had some power in the Bai family. But that was a top official who got angry. Thinking about how many people were stunned when the prefect of Xi'an became angry. This person was much bigger than the prefect.

"This, Minghe..." Bai Chongxi didn't know what he should ask.

Qinghe whispered: "You can't talk about things in the park outside this cave gate. This is the rule of Chunhui Garden. But you don't have to worry. Master Yu rushed into his husband's study with a knife a few days ago. Today, he was at least empty-handed. There will definitely be no problem, but his daughter-in-law didn't dare to ask too much in business."

"Of course I dare not ask about official business." Bai Chongxi felt that his clothes were wet and were wet with sweat.

In addition to the main courtyard, Chunhui Garden also has several side courtyards and several newly built and expanded courtyards. This place will be a large exhibition hall in the future, so it is naturally impossible for them to be piled up in the garden.

There is a pretty good inn in the side yard, so Qinghe, a visitor from the Bai family, had to arrange it here first.

At the same time, he called Bai Hong over. Now these little guys in the Bai family are Bai Hong who have been walking close to Bai Minghe.

After all, Qinghe is a concubine, so she cannot stay here for more. Even if she entertains Bai Chongxi, it is impossible for Sun Yuanjun or Huaiyu to come forward. After all, the identity of the princess is here. So Bai Hong became the most suitable arrangement.

"Please pay tribute to the third master, and to the second uncle..." Bai Hong came in after all, he was a member of the Bai family, so he kowtowed to the elders in the family first according to the gift.

"Bai Hong, has Minghe worked very hard recently!" Bai Chongxi was caring about his son.

"If you say to the third master, the young master has a meal arrangement every day. There will be a medical official taking a pulse every two days. I can't know whether the official business is heavy or not. In recent days, I don't even have the qualifications to get close to the study room. The files in the study room are now all major issues. I dare not ask about anything or think about it. I can only reply to the third master. You know, if it is not for the life or death of hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, I will not be sent in."

Bai Chongxi felt a sense of pride in his heart.

My son is really doing great things.

"Before I came, my wife sent someone to make arrangements. Going out to sea to see the scenery, so naturally there is a walk in Guangzhou. If the third master wants to go to a foreign country, it can also be arranged. There is only one thing, I dare not let people know that you are the young master's father."

"Why?"

Bai Chongxi said that there is nothing strange about this.

"I'm not worried about anything. Now it's the end of the year. Many people want to see the young master. If you know your identity, it will cause you some unnecessary trouble. Mrs. Qinghe has been in the park for almost half a month. It's not that I can't, but I dare not go out."

"Do you tell me?" Bai Chongxi became even more curious.

"That's right. Last time Mrs. Qinghe went out. Before the carriage left this street, the carriage was buried just by gift boxes from each merchant. In addition, the new goods samples from each merchant were blocked, the entire street was blocked. If there weren't a guard going out to pick up people, it would be possible to really bury the carriage for all kinds of goods."

Bai Hong explained that the Bai family was so shocked that they could not say a word.

I really have to say the reason, just say it simply.

Any item of goods, as long as Bai Minghe said it is a good word, the business name will benefit from 100,000 taels of silver a year. Even if you don’t have the money to open a store, many people will come to the door with bank notes, and it is easy to negotiate whether to participate in shares or borrow money.

For the new year's procurement plan, bulk commodities must be decided in advance.

With white linen alone, there are more than 30 companies in Guangdong alone. It is not that their goods cannot be sold, but that the white-named heirs selected, which means that they will be better than other companies. They will not earn much more than others in overseas trade, but in the Ming Dynasty, they will be at least three to half a percent more than the ordinary ones, and the rest of the small companies that sell goods will rush to buy them.

Some Bai Hong dared not say anything.

Even if I dare not say anything to Bai Minghe’s father.

For example, the Baiminghe really ordered the white linen cloth. The quantity was so large that all the goods from all the merchants in Guangdong were brought, but it could not reach the number that Baiminghe really needed. However, this number was still top secret at the moment, and those who knew it dared not say it out.

The Ming Dynasty is not modern times. It is just a loss of official positions, but it will be a real beheading.

"Don't talk outside after business, read more books and have a good future in the future." Bai Chongxi, as an elder, naturally had to encourage Bai Hong.

An old man from the Bai family, Bai Hong's biological grandfather, also said: "Be more careful in your work. You should be diligent in your family, don't talk too much. Be more respectful to others. The one who can enter this garden is bigger than our Bai family, and don't cause any trouble to the eldest son of the third house."

"Yes, yes!" Bai Hong just nodded repeatedly.

The Bai family is a small gentry in Guanzhong, and it is not as good as the four masters of Guanzhong, but it can rank in the top ten. It is somewhat inseparable from the four masters of Guanzhong, especially Bai Minghe's second aunt, who is the legitimate daughter of the four masters of Guanzhong, Liu's family.

At present, there are many people who want to marry the Bai family. Even if they are a family member like Bai Hong, they can marry a woman who has studied in the family.

Several elders of the clan were telling Bai Hong the truth about being a man, and also let Bai Hong see the children of the Bai family who came to Guangdong with Bai Minghe, and if they had time, they could see them.

"Fourth uncle, your Bai Feng has obtained military merits this time. He went to sea to kill two pirates. A few days ago, the Japanese came to Guangdong to pay tribute and another Japanese who was not eyebrowed. Now he is General Yang's personal guard and has a bright future."

Bai Hong talked about the situation of the Bai family and the children one by one.

Only the matter of Baiminghe was not mentioned, and Baiminghe was no longer qualified to listen to the matter of Baiminghe.

At this time, Bai Minghe was bearing Yu Qian's anger.

Yu Qian didn't know anything about such a big thing beforehand. It was said that these people in Guangdong were still very strict. It was not until Deng Hailong sent out three hundred elite Ming troops on the ship transporting cargo to Siam that Yu Qian found that the matter was a bit strange. After several parties inquired, they finally learned that the white-famous crane was attacking the Khmer. (To be continued...)
