Day 037

How could Bai Minghe not sweat coldly? He thought that people like Yu Qian and Shang Lu should be able to look to the future and not be completely bound by Confucianism.

But Chen Xun had already told Bai Minghe very seriously that you had crossed the line.

The TV series said that the Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty was so terrible. The scholars were in charge of the government affairs, and they were really not there. The things on TV were always empty. You should know that the current emperor was also supported by you Yu Qian, but Yu Qian also called on the entire capital to welcome the Supreme Emperor with the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

Now, what if the emperor wants to replace his son with the crown prince? Is this emperor just an overdo?

Sure enough, all the loyal ministers in ancient times were very different.

In fact, Yu Qian is not wrong. The world is orthodox. The emperor's younger brother becomes the emperor temporarily. Then after you die, you should return the throne to your brother's son. This is orthodox. The two founding emperors in the Song Dynasty were scolded by literati for many years, believing that this would lose the virtue of heaven.

Yu Qian just works according to his own moral values ​​and justice, and stands upright in his own way!

"What do you think?" Chen Xun asked Bai Minghe again.

The white-named He laughed: "I miss my white-named He is well-read in Guanzhong. I am loyal and courageous. I pay the most attention to the word "loyalty". Master, please see if my white-named He breaks this situation."

Chen Xun patted his hands, but not applauding Bai Minghe, but asked the old servant outside the door to come in. Two small boxes behind the old servant were carrying a box. Chen Xun said at this time: "I have specially chosen a gift for you. I am a little tired today, so I won't leave you for lunch."

"Thank you, Master Zheng!" Bai Minghe bowed.

Bai Minghe was about to leave, but Chen Xun suddenly said something again: "I will pretend that I have been convinced by you!"

Bai Minghe naturally understood that the meaning of this sentence is to change the prince.

It was the carriage of Chen's mansion that sent Bai Minghe back to the mansion, but the door could not enter. There were more than twenty carriages alone on the street outside the door. Unfortunately, the two servants of Chen's mansion carried the box and sent Bai Minghe to the front of the mansion.

In front of the door, Ye Bao was greeting the guests with a smile. When he saw Bai Minghe coming back, he immediately called two Jinyiwei Schools to help carry the box into the house first.

"Ye Qianhu? No, Brother Ye. I didn't go to the wrong door!"

Bai Minghe looked puzzled.

Ye Bao called a Baihu to greet him at the door, and then he brought Baiminghe into the yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I was shocked by the white crane just looking at the size of the yard.

Besides, there are at least hundreds of people in this yard, men and women. These people are all busy with their heads down, some are cleaning the yard, some are repairing windows, and some are fiddling with flowers and plants.

After entering the main hall, Bai Minghe was afraid to put his ordinary buttocks on the noble chairs. This kind of chair is worth at least one hundred thousand a set in later generations.

"The letter from Mr. Bai, Long Sui, I have approved it." Ye Bao waved his hand and told the servants to retreat, and then continued: "First, Fangli. Mr. Wan Sui thought that Mr. Bai was working hard, and only half of it was too small, so he had to have 10%. The number of craftsmen can be increased to a thousand people, or even ten thousand people. If it really doesn't work, he will put a thousand households directly over there." Bai Minghe understood that this was to expand production, but he didn't know why the emperor wanted to expand.

Ye Bao gave Bai Minghe an explanation: the first batch of purchases of the Ministry of War alone cost one million boxes. Moreover, the various high-end goods, together, are as many as tens of thousands of boxes.

When it comes to profits, the most common ones earn the most.

One million boxes were divided equally into the Ming army, and with the remaining ones, it would be great if one team could get three boxes.

"This is not over yet. Long live my life. I will open a store in Beijing. My thousand houses, together with the rest of the brothers in Beijing, don't plan to open a store. Let the small flag carry the burden. Even if we don't force it, we can still sell millions of boxes. Fire-making items are a must-have in daily life, second only to salt and iron!"

"Also, in the distance, whether for official, military or civilian use, all the stations will be added to the stations at a price of 100% per hundred miles."

When Ye Bao said this, Bai Minghe interrupted and said, "Is this a little less than 10% of the 10%?"

"We can't give too much, otherwise I'm not sure how greedy these guys are." When Ye Bao said this, Bai Minghe understood even more. I'm afraid that the emperor only agreed to this matter. For the specific operation, the upper class figure of the Jinyiwei was probably involved.

"Let's talk about the profits of this shop, long live half of it, and Mr. Bai has 10% of it. In addition to the wages, craftsmen give half of it as a reward. The business is a bit bigger. I'm afraid they can't eat half of it in Xiaquan Village, so they dare not eat them." Ye Bao said something good, and Bai Minghe also said in advance that eating too much profit in Xiaquan Village is definitely not a good thing.

The white-name crane accounts for this percentage, which is purely a special expense for later generations.

Ye Bao continued:

"The eunuchs in the palace always have one, and the transactions in various places are divided equally between the eunuchs and the Jinyiwei. But no one dares to deduct the market, and the fixed price is written by Wansui, so naturally they dare not increase the price. Therefore, the rules are still very strict. The last 20% of this means saving first and using it when it is critical."

From the beginning to the end, there was no mention of tax raising, and Bai Minghe didn't mention it either.

He just said, "I don't care about how you manage the workers here, I will give me a batch, use my rules to manage the wages, and follow my side. Whether it is good or bad, it will be effective in three months. If my method is good, long live the report. If it is not good, change it to your method."

"This is no problem." Ye Bao agreed without thinking too much.

Then, Ye Bao took out a list.

"Your garden was originally a criminal. These renovation people were transferred from the officials and would have to be sent back in the next few days. Flowers, plants, bonsai, bedroom cost, etc. are the intentions of several directors in the palace, so you can accept this with peace of mind. These furniture are the intentions of our Jinyiwei. In two days, the Jiaosifang will send you some people, and I will also choose some people who can work for you."

Bai Minghe stood up and clasped his fists: "Bai Minghe has thanked him here."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Ye Bao quickly helped Bai Minghe and sat down.

At this time, Ye Bao's voice became a little weaker: "Eunuch Cheng asked me to tell you another word, and the palace was not very calm. It is better for these directors and managers to lose sight of their affairs."

Bai Minghe thanked her in his heart.

The eunuchs also have internal struggles, just don’t participate.

Or it is also said that the profit distribution of this matchmaker's house is almost tens of thousands of taels of silver given to the eunuchs a year. How to divide it? The eunuchs will go to fight. Bai Minghe has already paid the money, so I don't pay attention to the rest.

This is a kind advice.

Ye Bao said this, took out a few more envelopes and placed them on the table, and then went out to arrange for those who were working.

As the saying goes, there are so many people who work, hundreds of people. In just two days, the garden was completely renovated, and even the railings were painted, making this place immediately become a house for wealthy families.

As for the people sent by Jiaosifang and those sent by someone, Bai Minghe chose to avoid it and handed it over to Sun Yuanjun to deal with it.

Sun Yuanjun was naturally very happy, this was a symbol of herself as the hostess.

In fact, Bai Minghe was still a little unaccustomed to the existence of slaves, and he knew that he could not change it.

On the second night after Bai Minghe entered Beijing, his second uncle Bai Chongyuan came.

It is not for congratulations, but because they are both Bai and are also relatives and uncles. The family should communicate more about some things, especially when they are both in the capital.

Bai Minghe greeted Bai Chongyuan at the main entrance. After sitting in the study, Bai Chongyuan sighed: "I have been in the capital for almost ten years and have always wanted to have a separate study, but unfortunately I failed to do it. If I didn't rely on the help of the tribe every year, I would probably starve to death in the capital."

Bai Chongyuan taught Bai Minghe a lesson and told the hardship of a seventh-rank official in Beijing, or even a fifth-rank official, that may not be rich.

Bai Minghe did not understand the detailed history of the Ming Dynasty, and what he knew was limited.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the law was extremely strict. During the reign of Emperor Yongle, officials were extremely poor. After Yongle quickly died of illness and did not attend court for a long time, the officials relaxed a little and dared to collect some small money.

But the real civil servant group has relaxed its greed after the mid-Ming Dynasty.

Bai Minghe smiled indifferently: "Maybe, someone may have taken over this house tomorrow, or someone may have burned it. Second uncle, I came to the capital and did not visit your mansion. It was not that I had no time, but that I dared not. I was afraid that I would implicate you and let you lose your official position."

"Why?" Bai Chongyuan believed in Bai Minghe's words very much. Because of Bai Minghe, his status in the Ministry of Rites has improved a lot.

"Don't ask, the second uncle, it's better to be as usual in the past half month."

"I'm listening to you. It's just the situation here. Do you want to write a letter to your family?" Bai Chongyuan was asking Bai Minghe, you are already from the seventh rank, so why should you pay a happy family?

Bai Minghe shook his head: "It's not too late to say it after the exam."

Bai Chongyuan nodded, and after thinking about it, it was nothing wrong. Before he could test it, he reported to his family that he had become an official. If there was any change after the test, it would be bad for this joy and surprise. There was nothing wrong with slowing down.

It was already late at night, and Bai Chongyuan stayed in the guest room.

Looking at this garden, Bai Chongyuan really liked it. He was very much looking forward to the fact that Bai Minghe could really accomplish something big, so that the garden could stay for a long time.
Chapter completed!
