408 Who Moved Xiaobai's Cake

The first person to arrive at Bai's Mansion was Yu Qian, because he happened to be looking for Bai Minghe.

On the way, I met someone who was rushing to send him an invitation. After asking the rest of Bai Minghe invited him, Yu Qian didn't understand why this was. Bai Minghe's treat was a bit strange this time.

However, there is a reason to invite Wang Shi. This was originally a person who was incompatible with the San Yang and later Queen Mother Sun. Such an important official from the Ming Dynasty should have taken the initiative to visit him, but it was a bit rude to invite him to attend a banquet in the mansion.

But Bai Minghe just got assassinated, and it is understandable that some people don’t want to leave the house.

When entering Bai Mansion, Yu Qian's identity either Bai Minghe came out to greet him in person or went directly into the mansion. It was impossible to wait for Bai Minghe's response in the concierge.

In the Baiminghe study, Baiminghe saw Yu Qian coming and sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop!"

"Even if you resign from your official position now, this word is not destined to be with you!" Yu Qian responded with a smile.

"Mr. Yu, you are here first. I plan to recommend the upcoming Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Wang Ao, and add an imperial envoy to tour Fujian on behalf of the world. Of course, it is better to change Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to Governor of Fuguang." Bai Minghe directly pointed out his meaning, but it is impossible to tell the truth completely.

Dongchang knew about Fujian, and the Jinyiwei might not know about it now. Because the Jinyiwei committed suicide because of Concubine Hang, the commander-in-chief resigned, and the upper class was still in a mess.

All officials don’t know.

"Reason?" Yu Qian asked very directly.

"Two reasons. One is that there may be some problems in the accounts in Fujian. I suspect someone has concealed part of the income. But this matter is not suitable for Dongchang to intervene. Some of the silver is from the court itself. Of course, it is better for the officials of the court to verify it. Master Yu, you know that one point is missing in Fujian, but it is not a small number."

Yu Qian nodded. He did not doubt this reason, but Bai Minghe refused to let the East Factory check the accounts. It must be the General Secretary and the Censorate. There was a problem with these two yamen. It was too sensitive to let the East Factory go, and it was suspected of being arbitrary.

Everything is caused by money. This is why the corruption in the officialdom has been investigated, and people are still restless.

Just because the amount of silver is too huge, I can only touch it with a few thousand taels of silver.

"Another reason, the Wang family asked me to propose marriage. My wife seemed to agree. I don't know whether it was a good or a bad thing, but no matter what, I have to give some rewards to the Wang family."

What good things, bad things? Yu Qian has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he knows better what officialdom is than Bai Minghe.

When you reach a certain level of power alone, others will be afraid that you will get married and join forces again. But when you are so high that no one can reach, there is no big difference between joining forces or not. It is nothing more than that some people want to get on your ship. The White-Ming Crane belongs to the latter. The current Ming Emperor's trust in the White-Ming Crane has reached an incredible level.

It can even be said that the white-famous crane is like the spokesperson of the Ming Emperor.

"Well, I support you in this matter. You also need to have a serious concubine." Yu Qian is a real Ming official. He also has a wife and a concubine. Some people are even looking for Yu Qian recently, hoping that Yu Qian will take another concubine in the capital. In name, someone can take care of Yu Qian's life, but the facts are also some people who want to give Yu Qian a chance to take care of Yu Qian.

Yu Qian already has three men and two women and five children.

However, the official records are only the legitimate son Yu Mian, and the eldest grandson Yu Yunzhong, who was born recently, and the other concubines are not attracted by the court. And the only one who gives some privileges is Yu Mian, the son of Yu Qian's wife. Whether given the Void rank or the Imperial College, they are only the legitimate son.

In the past two years, Yu Qian has actually been changing.

When Bai Minghe first entered the capital, Yu Qian often went to court with an old servant, a thin horse, and a plainclothes. He was very frugal, but many people impeached him for breaking the rules of the officialdom, and not many people said he was humble and thin. Even Mao Sheng persuaded him to be too humble and have official etiquette.

Not to mention the front and back, at least the corresponding official etiquette should be maintained.

Since last year, Yu Qian has also traveled according to the official etiquette and has a standard ritual for first-rank officials.

The people thought that this was the treatment that Adult Yu should enjoy, and the officials were closer to him, unlike before, who had avoided him.

Therefore, it is not only the white-famous crane that has been changed.

When Yu Qian, the white-known crane, was chatting, several senior officials also arrived.

Yu Qian smiled and greeted him, bowed and bowed: "Old Wang, congratulations, congratulations."

Wang Shi would not understand. At this time, congratulations to this occasion, it was naturally his proposal to marry Bai Minghe. He knew very well that if Bai Minghe did not nod, he would not be able to persuade the Bai clan leader of Guanzhong.

"Wang, Bai, the two families are family friends. Since I can remember, they have built a river channel together for thirty times. Wang, Bai has gotten close to seventy people, which is also a marriage of relatives."

The Bai family is a big family, but not a famous family, at least not before Bai Minghe became an official.

But the Wang family does not look down on the Bai family. Although there is no communication from the upper class, as a neighbor-level big family, they get along well with each other. At least in the past few decades, the clans of the two families have also had some friendship.

Bai Minghe picked up a long gown and knelt down for Wang Shi.

Wang Yu is qualified to accept this gift. Speaking of which, Bai Minghe is his great-grandson-in-law. If the eldest wife is just an ordinary family and her parents' home has no background, it may not be possible for anyone in the backyard of her home. This is not enough for a man to protect her.

"Bai Minghe greets his great-grandfather, please give him a seat!"

This ceremony is not wrong, but Hu Yi sounded unfair and pointed at Baiminghe: "Baiminghe, I am the same dynasty as Mr. Wang, and I have been an official for five dynasties. Although we are not in the same year, we are about the same age and the time of entering the officialdom. You dare to point at me and scold me. Now you must kowtow to me, otherwise you will not be able to find someone to tell you a matchmaker for civil and military officials in this dynasty."

Gao Gu still thought to himself, this is not a formal wife, what a matchmaker.

Chen Xun pulled Gao Gu, and the meaning was very obvious. Although Bai Minghe was young, he had fought wits and courage several times with Hu Yi, and he always wanted Hu Yi to punish Bai Minghe once.

Who would have thought that Bai Minghe was not stupid?

"There is no problem with kowtowing, but there are two sentences that end up." Bai Minghe, who had just stood up, was about to speak a few words. Chen Xun and Gao Gu winked. They both took action at the same time and pointed at Bai Minghe's knee with their canes. Bai Minghe was not prepared, and his legs were weak and he really knelt down on Hu Yi.

Hu Yi laughed happily, and the old men laughed endlessly.

What else can this happen? If you can’t even afford such a joke, Bai Minghe wouldn’t have to hang out in the officialdom, so he had no choice but to knock on this head: “I’ll ask Mr. Hu to notarize it!”

"Okay, I've agreed."

After all, any of these four old ministers are four times the age of Baiming Crane. Baiming Crane may be really angry. Even in later generations, it is normal to kowtow to elders.

Yu Qian said on behalf of Bai Minghe that the meaning of inviting everyone over this time was very straightforward.

"This matter is a small matter, but there is really something greedy, so you should be responsible!" Chen Xun believes that the officialdom has just investigated greedy. Bai Minghe said immediately: "What you are afraid of is not personal greed. There is also a new way now, which is to intercept a small treasury, which means that silver is not a normal bank account, and it is a small account.

The last time I checked the small account, the greed was not cleared, and this has always been there.

However, Fujian is different from other places. The dock here is a little sticky and it is calculated in tens of thousands of dollars. It is necessary to check it, but it doesn’t matter if the evidence is heavy enough.

What Bai Minghe didn't say is that checking the small treasury is just an introduction.

This is all old martial arts. They understand the rules of the officialdom. Baiminghe must have other purposes, but the matter of Fujian Hai Trade is Baiminghe's territory. Yu Qian will not be lenient when someone dares to move the Ministry of War at will, so no matter whether he guesses or not, there is no need to say it out loud.

It can also be considered as giving Bai Minghe a face. But...

Hu Yi said: "White-famous He, this year is the imperial examination year again. The imperial examination has suffered great difficulties. This time, the first imperial examination after the founding of the dynasty is here, you should always express something."

"Tongsheng exam, I will prepare all the paper and ink. The food and drink in the examination room are also provided by the county government, so that the students will not be troubled to prepare. Each candidate in the provincial examination will add ten taels of silver to the examination, and one hundred taels to the imperial examination will add one hundred taels. The reward for the three-level palace servants is a gift of long live life. It is not easy to be a minister!"

Hu Yi is fine, Bai Minghe is full of sincerity.

This amount of money is nothing for Bai Minghe, and even using his private money is nothing.

He Wenyuan also made a request. He was the Minister of Personnel. When he saw Hu Yi put forward the request, he could naturally make the conditions, but the Ministry of Personnel seemed to have no place to make the white-known crane bleeding.

Bai Minghe thought of the name: "The official uniforms of our Ming Dynasty are divided into court uniforms, official uniforms, regular uniforms, and sacrificial uniforms. The court uniforms are the rule. The official uniforms are only given to pieces and official hats, and they are provided with their own regular uniforms. From this year on, they will be divided into spring, summer and winter in a year. They will be assigned two sets at the beginning, and one set is available. The Haisi has invested."

"Very good!" He Wenyuan of the Ministry of Personnel was very satisfied with the conditions offered by the Bai Minghe. This sincerity is sufficient.

"The military officer's court uniform is one set a year, and the battle armor is released by the Haishi." Bai Minghe also gave Yu Qian a portion, and Yu Qian just nodded!

It can only be said that Bai Minghe has a lot of heart. Because military officers do not care about official uniforms, military officers rarely wear official uniforms and walk around in order to be the main ones. However, the war armor is a real heart.
