326 A Thick Book

Baiminghe needs to increase the overseas Ming Dynasty liaison office. Of course, the Ming Dynasty is not yet at the moment, but the Ming people overseas also need to manage it, so Baiminghe cannot ignore these things.

"If Lord Bai, do you think I should use it, I will do my best to make these places perform their functions?"

Zhang Feng's words are like to hear.

Then I will take back the few things I just made up for discussion.

The Baiminghe asked someone to carry a box, a set of one hundred books, and the work guidelines of the Ming consulate specially printed by Baiminghe and the responsibilities of officials at all levels.

"Please help me see if there is any incompleteness, and then modify it. There is also this!" Bai Minghe signaled, and another big box was carried in: "This is the detailed rules for the officials to study, so please check it." This is not the end, there is another box: "In the period of shortage of materials, for goods with low output, you can naturally not get it with silver. There is always nothing wrong with respecting the elderly, so you can supply a part with a ticket, and then bargaining part with a part of the money. The younger generation thinks it is better. Please check this details!"

Zhang Feng quickly flipped through it, and Bai Minghe had already considered these things quite detailed.

But there are some things that can be improved.

For example, Baiminghe has a very big loophole in the invoice rules and the qualifications of the ticket collector. And there is no need to print the tickets before issuing them. You only need to register at the local county and at the local area and outline it with the roster.

Then there are these low-yield, expensive but low-priced products. Can those who are qualified to buy resell goods? Or resell qualifications and other detailed contents. There is no detailed description in the book "Baiminghe". Baiminghe is a talent, but a person cannot be perfect.

What Zhang Feng thought was that Bai Minghe still lacked experience in politics, so he had good ideas. Details were more important.

But with experienced old ministers, then these things can naturally be done better.

Who said that the six ministries in Nanjing have no place to use their skills?

A kind of passion rose again from the bottom of my heart, and the pain of being demoted to Nanjing was finally over.

"Please ask Lord Bai to reply first. There will inevitably be detailed case files in this matter within three days. As for the tickets, you can first choose a county in Nanjing to pilot it, and then look at the results and then improve it. This matter is arranged by my official. Lord Bai only needs to send someone to prepare the goods."

The white-famous crane breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, another big problem was solved.

Next, let’s talk about Xiao Yu.

The tax collection matter is much more complicated than sending things. Xiao Qing is a rigid and petty person. When he saw Bai Minghe's detailed booklet for the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Revenue did not. He forced Bai Minghe to go to the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue Office, write the documents in black and white, and then make a ten-day appointment. Ten days later, the Ministry of Revenue will come up with a rule and then discuss it.

Back at the mansion, Bai Minghe began to plot against the other three parts of Nanjing in his mind.

It’s easy to talk about the Ministry of War, but Xu Chengzong is in charge. The Ministry of War is almost empty. Whether it is officials or soldiers, all the people and their hands are busy every day. I’m afraid that there are not enough people and I will never be idle. The management of each dock, the continuous expansion and drawing of the charts, the detailed rules of the Navy regulations, etc. are really too idle.

The next day, it was not yet dawn.

The white-famous crane, who was in the morning, received the news.

"Sir, I posted notices all night last night in Shangyuan County, north of Nanjing. That's what you mentioned. This time, the tickets were supplied with thermos bottles, Songjiang cotton cloth, Huzhou silk, steel kitchen knives, and first-class coconut oil."

Note: It turns out that this place is called Shangyuan County, and its modern name is Qixia!

Bai Minghe remembers the contents in his booklet. It seems that the Ministry of Rites has just selected five of them for experimentation.

However, this efficiency is a bit too high. I informed the entire county overnight and I really don’t know how many people broke their legs.

"Sir, are you going to have a look?"

"I want to go, maybe?" Bai Minghe gave birth to a heart-to-heart. As soon as the show was opened, he knew that he had arrived.

But the guard said, "Sir, this is a good deed. You are the one who leads your ability, and you don't need to hide it?"

"Where is Lu Qiyuan?" Bai Minghe planned to let Lu Qiyuan go with him. But the guard said: "Sir, I need to add a few more divisions. The masters didn't come back last night. I only know that the first batch of gold ore dug from Luzon on the dock arrived. Maybe it was left at the dock for this matter!"

The guards didn't know how busy Lu Qiyuan and his masters were.

They can care about gold ore, and the expansion of Nanjing wharf is a tiring life, and they will not dare to relax in the next six months.

"Look for some more masters?" Bai Minghe said to himself. The guards would not answer this. Whether they were looking for it or not has nothing to do with him. Their task is to protect, plus send messages. Recently, there are more tasks to deliver letters, so there is no way for Bai Minghe to be too busy.

It was not a matter of one or two days to find the master, so Bai Minghe decided to go to Shangyuan to take a look.

Get on the boat directly at Baima Pavilion, cross Xuanwu Lake and reach the north shore of Shangyuan County. Change the horse and go ten miles east to reach the county town.

When Bai Minghe arrived at the county town, it was already noon, and the inside and outside of the county town were surrounded by people.

It was on the beach by the lake outside the south gate of the county town. Zhang Feng, the Minister of Rites, was here. Thirty percent of the officials in the Ministry of Rites were here. Several low-level officials had swollen eyes, and it was obvious that they had never slept last night.

Xie Yiyuan from the Shang Gang has also arrived. As the Shang Gang, Mr. Su is qualified to stand here. After all, this is also a good deed of the Shang Gang.

Bai Minghe signaled not to go there, so he found a high place to build a simple shed and sat down.

"Bai Minghe has arrived, and he has done a good job in this matter!" Zhang Feng said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites beside him. Several people looked away. There was no flag on Bai Minghe, which did not mean that a team of elite soldiers could be ignored.

The county yamen runners, the township heroes who were temporarily convened in the county quickly pulled out an area with a rope.

Zhang Feng is the Minister of Rites. Even if such things are good for his reputation, he will not come forward in person. In the end, the county magistrate and the representative of the merchant gang Xie Yiyuan walked in front.

The first one to be placed on the table was a disassembled thermos.

The county magistrate was holding a piece of paper. The paper had obviously been flipped through dozens of times, but he was still afraid that he would say something wrong, and even after memorizing it, he also planned to recite it accordingly. After all, there were second-rank officials watching behind him.

"This object was developed by the First Academy of the Ming Xing, and its original name is a thermos. On the market, it is called a thermal glass cup. Putting hot water can ensure that it will not be cool for five hours, and there will still be a temperature for making tea within one and a half hours. The villagers saw this is a glass cup. In order to protect it, it is made of three types of covers for protection, including bamboo, wood carving and silk weaving. The prices are two, three, and five taels of silver. A senior who is over 65 years old who is unparalleled in virtue can buy a pair. A filial son who is recognized in the county can buy a pair..."

The county magistrate is reciting the standards.

At the base price of two liang, three liang, and five liang, some are a little different, such as a filial son at the level of the middle level, you can only buy one, or add a 20% price to buy a pair. A virtuous woman with a county level is equivalent to a filial son at the level of the inner level, and a chastity archway that has been thirty years, then a 30% price will be reduced, or a 20% price will be reduced for twenty years.

The white-known crane listened in the distance, and some people could not hear clearly and others wrote down and passed it back.

"It seems that when it comes to making money, merchants also have a set of things. They make rattan racks and then wrap a layer of embroidered silk. Five taels of silver seem noble. I think many wealthy families may buy it at a high price. However, the standard of this ticket is really unexpected."

The white-famous crane really didn't expect it.

This standard is formulated in detail and rigorously, and it is impossible to take advantage of loopholes.

And most importantly, the Nanjing Ministry of Rites follows the existing moral codes of the Ming Dynasty. Older people with high moral character are naturally high-level ones. A filial son who can be registered with the Ministry of Rites in Beijing is a national filial son who can be purchased at half a price.

However, the national level of filial sons and chastity archways will not exceed one hundred people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

What is the usual price of silk in Huzhou? Twenty feet per piece is a high price of ten taels of silver, and it has a price but no market. If you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it. Here, if you buy a thermos bottle and you can discount the base price, you can definitely buy it with eight taels of silver. But this is a standard number of people, and there are about twenty people in a county.

At the level of a filial son, you can only register to the mansion and receive certification.

At the end of the hearing, Bai Minghe heard two very special levels.

One is a virtuous family. It is about a family in a village who knows some carpenter work. However, they do not specialize in carpenter business because they have fields. In the nearby villages, they usually do not charge money to help with small jobs such as door curtains and plows. Sometimes when they make too much work, they can only have a meal at the owner's house.

The real money is to do things like big furniture.

For ten years, he has a very good reputation in the nearby villages. He has registered and inspected the county and reported to the mansion.

This virtuous family is second only to the national filial son.

Another one is a small official who retired. He was a junior college student for children in Qiliba Village, but he never received any school money. Some of his students passed the exam for scholars, some passed the imperial examination, and even passed the imperial examination. These people would donate to his primary school, some ordinary merchants and wealthy households. This was why they kept it.

Such a person, the given level is the highest in all levels, give it to you!

After hearing this level, Bai Minghe thought half of the private teachers who silently made their contributions in his later generations, and his other half was still thinking about the Ming system, only those who study hard were high.

While Bai Minghe was thinking, someone was carrying a basket and quickly ran to his side, knelt down and kowtowed. He got up and left. Bai Minghe was stunned by the kowtow. While Bai Minghe was stunned, there was another man and a woman, a man kowtowed, and a woman’s blessing. After giving a gift, he also left quickly.

When an old man came to kowtow, Bai Minghe came to his senses and quickly took a few steps forward, but he didn't have time to help him because of the distance.
