When Bai Minghe heard one hundred taels, he smiled heartily.

Aristo handed over a gold coin to Old Man Murong, and it was obvious that the two were betting.

"Is it expensive if one tael of silver?" Bai Minghe asked.

If one or two silver taels of money, this thing can be said to be so cheap that it is impossible to describe it. This thing should be huge profits, but if Baiming Hening has such a low price, is it worth it?

"I think it's not profitable?" Bai Minghe said with a smile: "Is this thing good? The farmers went to the fields to work, but the weather was cold, but they filled a pot of hot porridge. In addition to profit, businessmen also need to benefit the people. A large number of printed books can reduce the cost of books and benefit the people. The same is true for caring for people's livelihood."

"I am ashamed. Lord Bai is concerned about people's livelihood, but any goods must be beneficial. If one or two silvers are sold, everyone in the Ming Dynasty can buy one, or the adults can afford it. However, it may be that the goods are not suitable for transportation. In the end, it may be that one or two of them are sold here, but some people secretly increase the price by ten times or even dozens of times."

Xie Yiyuan's words mean Baiminghe. You are afraid that the money is too much to use, so it will be wasted. If you dare to spend one tael of silver, everyone in Daming dares to have one. At that time, the account will be nearly 100 million taels of silver, but how much is the cost? Will it be more sold and you will lose more?

Bai Minghe really wanted to tell these people that even if the most ordinary glass cup was made by hand, the cost of mass production here in the Ming Dynasty has been controlled to less than 30 cents. In the production of large industrial machines in later generations, an ordinary glass cup was only about one or five yuan.

"Forget it. You can set the price." Bai Minghe didn't want to talk to these people anymore.

After Bai Minghe said this, a maid placed the plates one by one, including various glass products. Most of them were cups, then plates, windproof oil lamps, etc.

While setting the table, a maid accidentally broke a very ordinary cup, but did not show any expected nervousness. Instead, she used a broom to quickly clean up the glass residue on the ground, and then bowed and retreated. In the opinion of the merchant gang, this reaction was that the Bai Mansion was very disciplined.

If a servant does something wrong, he will make up for the mistake first and then talk about punishment.

In fact, this maid knew the value of this cup and she could afford it. Because she bought a set for her family, the mansion of such a cup only charged her an average of 80 cents per piece. For the wages of the Bai Mansion, she could afford it. Of course, it might not necessarily make her lose money.

"In the Goryeo, a thermos pot sold for 100 taels is too expensive. If it is sold at a high price, the output here will be wasted. It is impossible for the craftsmen to stop and produce it, so it can be lowered appropriately. The cost of the cup I just broke just now is thirty cents, plus the others, fifty cents can be controlled!"

Yields will be wasted, and this sounds like a joke.

The Ming Dynasty did not have self-produced glass products. It was just that there were very few pure and transparent, and extremely practical. When Daomen used lead to make alchemy, the temperature reached more than 900 degrees. He also occasionally obtained products similar to glass. Solid color glass was not lacking.

However, the craftsmanship is complicated and is mostly used as decorations. Because it is not practical enough, it has not been developed vigorously in the Ming Dynasty.

Like the White Name Crane, it has a complete material ratio and industrial process, which is particularly more specific and practical.

There were only two original glass workshops in the Ming Dynasty. All of them belonged to palace offices. There was almost no pure transparent glass, with a little color. They made food boxes, plates, plates, etc. The other one was specially designed for decorations, especially Go.

"In the Ming Dynasty, you should just take a chance on my official's affairs. I will find this part of the profit. In the glass business between Goryeo and Wadao, I will find you some profit."

"I dare not!" Xie Yiyuan stood up and saluted: "We have received a lot of benefits from the adults, and we are already anxious."

Baiminghe’s profit is so delicious. He asked you to help you a little, but he dared to ask for profit. Xie Yiyuan said that a group of ignorant younger generations, if they really aim to make profits, they would be extremely bad if they ruined their reputation.

"Since that's the case, I will give orders."

"Please give me the order!" The representatives of the merchant gang responded in unison.

"This is called a thermos. The price of one tael of silver may be low. Let's do it. One tael of silver is shipped from here. You can increase the price appropriately when the distance is close. The first batch of goods is not large. This official will submit a memorial to Long Live the imperial edict, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will purchase it in a limited quantity. One is an old man over 65 years old, two is a filial son who is famous in the village, three is a family of fertile families, and four is a family of left-behind families!"

Bai Minghe refers to a left-behind home, which means different from the modern one.

At that time, it was impossible for those who were outside to be officials to take care of their parents. If there was only one only son in the family and the only son was outside, even if there were sisters in the family often took care of them, they would be considered a lonely old man because they had no children.

Xie Yiyuan was a little moved, as he was an old man.

"I, Hui merchants, are willing to reduce the fine cloth by half to help adults' good deeds." Xie Yiyuan's words also aroused the response of many people. The Ming Dynasty governed the world with filial piety and virtue. At this time, merchants could make business big, benevolence, righteousness, goodness, trust, and virtue. They have always abide by it. Some commodities have a small output, and the Ming Dynasty is also an era of scarcity of materials. If the top ten merchants cooperate together, it will drive the Ming Dynasty's moral education.

"Then, the three gangs in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shandong will be responsible for the transactions northward. The tribes in Liaodong will be handed over to the Zhejiang gangs, and the Japanese will be handed over to the silk exchange on the Japanese side, and the two gangs in Ningbo and Hangzhou will be handed over to the Hui merchants in Goryeo. Da Nang will be responsible for the two gangs in Fujian and Guangdong, and the southwest will be...

Baiminghe quickly distributed the exported glass products business.

It seems a bit unfair, but some of the gangs will make adjustments to other businesses and hold private meetings to solve the problem.

However, Bai Minghe's strategy of domestic sales in the Ming Dynasty was fully implemented. In addition to the corresponding freight, each merchant group added 10% of the losses and 20% of the profits and 10% of the tax. Then the actual sales price can be basically controlled at about 2 taels of silver as long as it is not in those places where the sky is high and the water is far away.

It is already very difficult to control the five liang in Yunnan and other places in the southwest. If you go to the plateau, the transportation cost alone will exceed ten liang of silver. This is the cost brought by transportation and it is irresistible.

The white-known He found Gao Gu again, which means that he wrote a letter to ask for an order.

Gao Gu flipped over the commentary of Bai Minghe and laughed: "Mr. Bai, how many years have you been an official?"

Listening to this tone, Bai Minghe felt a sense of ridicule, but he still answered very seriously: "It's been one year and two months."

"It turned out that it's been more than a year, but it's the same. Lord Bai, you have neither a boss nor someone to ask for advice. If you have any ideas to decide on yourself, or you will go to the saint. You don't seem to know the rules in the court at all. Just a little bit of this, you need to ask for an order. How many memorials do you think you can read in a day?"

Bai Minghe thought about Zhu Qiyu, and after working hard to review it for 70 days a day, he was already tired after 30 or 40 books. Generally, it was about the same as 30 or 40 books.

Handling a official business is not about reading news items, but reading one is considered a solution.

Gao Gu no longer laughed at Baiminghe, nor did he call Baiminghe Lord Bai, but said: "Baiminghe, the memorials there are three categories. The first category is important official business, and it can be said that each is the most important thing. The second category is the notification entry category, which is what happened today. How to deal with the cabinet and the six ministries? If Wansui needs to look at which one, then review it from the cabinet separately or review it. The last category is the miscellaneous category. For example, someone once impeached you, but in front of Wansui, he only wrote on the array of one cabinet that 97 officials impeached Baiminghe, and then listed the main names for impeaching you. If you are interested, you will see it again. If you are not interested, just ask the cabinet to give a handling opinion. If you don’t even ask, just hand it over to the Censorate for review."

Gao Gu told Bai Minghe a lot.

Bai Minghe looked like he suddenly realized.

Gao Gu also told Bai Minghe some history of the Ming Dynasty's government affairs.

Since the reign of Emperor Taizu, when Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty was at its highest, he had approved 140 memorials, which can be said to be exhausted to death.

Then the Four Auxiliary Ministers were established, and the Grand Secretary was designed, which was later abolished.

When it was Chengzu, a cabinet was set up to assist in government affairs. If everything was instructed by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty himself, he would be exhausted.

Later, slowly, a standard was set in advance for daily government affairs, and only when the standards were exceeded was exceeded, the imperial approval was required.

"You will definitely read this memorial after you hand it to the capital. Because it was your Baiminghe who handed it, the cabinet will directly issue a letter to scold you. This small matter is not necessary to even disturb the Minister of Rites. A doctor from the Ministry of Rites can decide this matter and then issue a letter to the state prefectures."

"What then?" Bai Minghe asked again, what are these prefectures willing to do?

Gao Gu smiled helplessly and said, "Then it depends on the result. If the result is good, if the action of promoting good is great. Then each prefecture will remember a merit, and each prefecture will also write a letter to report the results separately. After that, any famous scholars will also report it together. When you arrive at Long Live, you will only see up to three sentences."

No need to explain Gao Gu. Bai Minghe also thought of what those three sentences were. The first sentence says what this is, the second sentence says that the affairs of the states and prefectures are doing well, and the third sentence says that the people are kind and filial.

"Then I..." Bai Minghe asked, what should he do.

Gao Gu smiled twice with a hearty smile: "You don't even have to go out. Change this thing to a document of the same level. You can directly hand it to the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, and then ask the Minister of Rites in Nanjing to inform the prefectures and prefectures, and then add your seal separately. Finally, report it to the capital. Are you really a decoration for the Six Ministry of Nanjing?"

The white-famous crane heard another smell.

He asked tentatively: "Are you a little bit of a small matter? The six ministries in Nanjing can write. So Mr. Gao, what is the limit of this matter?"

"What did you say? I'm old and I'm back!" Takaya replied in a loud voice.

Bai Minghe was stunned at first, and then he understood.

It seems that I have figured out the trick, but Gao Gu is definitely unwilling to tell himself the depth of this, as he will violate the taboos. (To be continued)
