432 A Coffin
Bai Minghe did not return home because he had to test a new batch of radio telegraph machines at night these two nights.*,,
The copper wired wire of wire cables has been initially mature, and the hydraulic machine has been successful, but the external rubber is still insufficient, so we can only wait at the moment. The wireless telegraph machine has broken through 500 miles, which is definitely a concern for the Electrical Research Branch of Xingshou Academy.
Not to mention Xingshou Courtyard, late at night, Xu Chengzong and Sun Yuanzhen and other officials were quietly waiting for the results to come out.
If the initial test is successful, the next step is to test the wind and rainy weather, and then put into mass production.
"This divine thing, even if it is gold, is worth it." This is how Xu Chengzong wrote the memorial to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. He fully supported the divine sound plan of Baiminghe. Sun Yuanzhen's memorial even wrote: The divine sound is completed, and the Ming Dynasty has expanded its territory for thousands of miles!
"It's okay!" Bai Minghe heard the voice of the newspaper.
"Sir, it will definitely be better after using the new wire drawing machine to create thinner and even copper wire." The person in charge of some projects quickly made an addition. He also heard a hint of noise at the moment, and the weather was very good tonight. If it was a storm, it would be necessary to improve the fineness again.
"No matter what, I have done a great job, reward." Xu Chengzong knew that these people could be said to be busy day and night, and finally achieved some success. Bai Minghe thought so, after all, he had already taken a big step forward successfully. He said at the moment: "Give some rewards first, those Japanese girls have left you five hundred people, and allocated them yourself. Go and relax for five days on holiday, and then, it's the last moment."
That's right, the next thing is to actually manufacture it, and there are quite a lot of them.
On the other side, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
A black and shiny coffin was placed at Jin Lian's doorstep. According to common sense, a coffin was placed here, which would definitely be an endless hatred.
But this coffin is different.
There were more than a thousand people watching, and even the city guards were out.
Jin Lian coughed up blood again, but he still went to work in the Ministry of Revenue. He had received a letter from Bai Minghe. He also attached a private message from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Jin Lian knew very well that he had not had much time and might not be able to last for a month, and the conclusion given by the imperial doctor was even worse.
The Jin family has already prepared for the funeral.
Even if I start recuperating now, it will be difficult to support three months.
A coffin of ebony, a coffin that only the emperor is qualified to use since ancient times, is placed at the door of the Jin Mansion. This is not the Emperor of Ming, nor is it the Baiming Crane. This is Jin Lian's meaning. He is not showing off, but showing the grace of the Emperor of Ming to the world.
This coffin not only attracted many people to watch, but also attracted powerful and wealthy businessmen.
Someone looked at it from afar and was also evaluating the coffin.
This pair of ebony from Little Luzon, and also caused Bai Minghe's subordinates to be a little ghost, that is, some extremely thin artificially added, and the golden thread that can only be vaguely seen with the naked eye is reflected, making people feel like the gloomy wood of golden nanmu at a glance. But Bai Minghe's subordinates did not explain this.
How to guess, it has nothing to do with the person who made this coffin.
Jin Lian was carried back to the mansion and stood in front of the mansion. He was already qualified to enjoy the ceremony of not kneeling.
"Under the imperial edict..." A eunuch began to read: "The Baiming He wrote to the letter of the Ministry of Revenue, Jin Lian, the Minister of Revenue, worked hard for the Ming Dynasty. He also worked hard all day long. However, after the great cause of the Northern Expedition, he must do everything that Jin Gong must do. He specially offered ebony several prescriptions and asked long live the special order to express his loyalty and righteousness to Shi Jin Gong."
It is rare that the imperial edict has been written so long and the memorial of Baiminghe has also been written in.
Next is Zhu Qiyu's words: "I feel guilty. The pillars of the country are sick, but I am powerless. I will reward..." Then I reward many precious supplements, and sent imperial doctors to consult once every two days, etc. Then the last one is to reward an ebony coffin and give it a title to be a count.
Ebony is known as the immortal divine wood for thousands of years.
Jin Lian's expression became more determined. He knew that he was not long, but he would have to stand up to the last moment because of Bai Minghe's wish and Emperor Ming's kindness.
Jin Lian immediately took over the imperial edict: "I thank the sage, and I should devote myself to my dedication to my death."
The coffin was carried into the yard, and the people were also asked by the city guards to make way. Some important officials naturally had enough identities to enter Jin Lian's family.
It is definitely not auspicious to put the coffin on the main hall, but this one can do it.
"Mr. Jin..." Yu Qian wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shang Lu again.
Jin Lian said: "What Master Yu wants to say knows is not a gloomy tree. It is a tree that comes from Little Luzon. The tree is ten feet high and has grown for at least three hundred years. According to the White Name Crane Letter, there is something better in the world than this, but the big tree that can be found now is the best."
Jin Lian said it bluntly, this is actually not a gloomy wood, or a fake.
"Sir Yu, it is extremely difficult to find the coffin. The old emperor did not find enough raw materials to make a coffin. Although this wood is not a gloomy wood, it is also an excellent wood. The wood that has been produced for a century is not an ordinary product. More importantly, this is the grace of the ministers, and I am content to be a minister in this dynasty."
Jin Lian was willing to speak out, and even Hu Yi and Gao Gu were moved.
They are older, and they don’t know if they may have such a coffin after they die.
This little Luzon ebony feels smooth to the touch and has a faint fragrance.
"Good wood!" Hu Yi sighed.
Even if this is not a real gloomy wood, it is also a top-notch wood. It is a persimmon wood wood, or a mahogany ebony. It is also a type of material among the five major levels in the future. Of course, the real first-class ebony is produced in Africa, and that place is now the world of Europeans.
Yu Qian sighed softly: "There is a saying that I am afraid that Lord Jin, you will be unhappy. Bai Minghe should write a letter to persuade you to go home to recuperate, not..."
Jin Lian waved his hand: "Mr. Yu, although I am not close to Bai Minghe, he knows my heart this time!"
"Forget it, Yu will go to the front line in person."
Ordinary people can't see whether this wood is really gloomy or not, but first-class carpenters can see it. This board is new wood, but without exception, it also admits that this wood is considered a top-notch wood than the wood Daming knows now, and is higher than cypress.
Especially the gift given by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this amount is different.
An ebony coffin soon became a lively topic in the capital.
Not to mention Hu Yi, even Yu Qian was a little moved by the people who buried the loess in Gaogu. Moreover, Yu Qian knew that if the Baiming crane wanted, this thing could bring hundreds of thousands of feet square meters, but the Baiming crane was unwilling to do so. The import of white-name cranes was strictly restricted. There were rules for any kind of wood to be transported to the Ming Dynasty for the time being.
Nanjing City is responsible for seeking wood in Little Luzon.
"Sir, why don't you cut a lot of wood? There are dozens of miles of large trees, almost all of which are high-quality ebony."
The white-famous crane savored the tea without looking up, and shook his finger: "You are wrong. First, this is just a medium-sized ebony. Secondly, it goes south to the Southeast Asia. The real first-class ebony is at least 30,000 miles away from the Ming Dynasty. The second mistake is that you cut down and dragged it to the Ming Dynasty. The people of the Ming Dynasty are still poor. Who do you sell it to?"
"Cut a few first, there are always some wealthy businessmen!" Bai Minghe gave these subordinates who do things alone enough power, so it is absolutely necessary to express their thoughts. Bai Minghe also allowed them to say it. But it does not mean that Bai Minghe was just asking at all. After hearing the subordinates say it, Bai Minghe asked with a smile: "You can sell a sky-high price, right?"
"Sir, wise!" The subordinate was sure that his thoughts were correct.
Bai Minghe continued with a smile: "You are confused. Now it's sky-high. If you ship it in a large amount in a few years, will our marine company still have a reputation? So let it slow down and wait until ordinary wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty can spend hundreds of taels of silver to buy a set of ebony furniture. This is the big business. This is also the reason why I restrict many items from entering our Ming Dynasty. Think about it in the long run."
After Bai Minghe explained this, he immediately replied: "I thought it wrong, please punish me."
The white-known crane waved his hand: "I won't punish you. You can go to the dock for investigation and stay for two months, and then learn about the details of the entry and exit of various objects, and combine them with your experiences in Nanyang. Maybe you will gain something. Then I will send you to Nanyang and do some big things alone."
"Sir Xie, my subordinates will leave." Shi Lili, took three steps back before turning around and leaving the door.
It is impossible not to say that Bai Minghe is very good at giving all his life to his subordinates, and he will never punish some trivial matters.
Seeing his subordinates go out, Bai Minghe shook the bell in his hand again. After a follower comes in, Bai Minghe said, "Go to the shipyard to see it. I heard that the new ship is very good this time."
"Sir, the lady arranged for someone to come over and said that you can't neglect the newcomer."
Ah! Bai Minghe was stunned for a moment and said, "Appoint it and go to Xuanwu Lake. Send someone to take Wang Yuchen over."
"Sir, the eldest daughter of the Oda family?" the entourage asked a lot.
Bai Minghe was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he almost forgot about the existence of this person. He nodded: "You remind me, call me, just say it was my welcome banquet for them, and then I will watch the show together in the evening. I have been here for two days, so I can't ignore them too much. Just look at the arrangement."
"Yes!" The entourage retreated and then gently closed the door.
In the Baima Pavilion, it can be said that Wang Yuchen felt that he was neglected because he didn't even meet Bai Minghe after moving in. Although he did not restrict his movements, she was not familiar with him. Moreover, each hospital ate alone, so she seemed particularly deserted.
