460 Agree to go west
Trouble!
There are more than ten business groups here, and there are forty or fifty people in the hall. It can be said that the well-known big business names in the capital have sent people here. They have booked the entire restaurant in a branch, without arguing or even much discussion. Almost everyone is in the same action, holding a teacup in a daze.
Merchants are untouchables, but not inferior people. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are both good people, but their identities are a little low.
The people who live here dare not say that they include the entire Ming Dynasty business district and economy, but they can be described as influence. They can influence the entire Ming Dynasty's business, industry, and even agriculture.
The top-notch businessman even needs to give him some face.
Of course, scholars are scholars, and merchants are merchants. Having money does not mean that they can change their status.
The white-famous Lu, who was sitting in the small compartment next to him, only then did he truly realize the status of his brother. Even the thirteen Grand Secretary of the Taihua Palace would consider his opinions very seriously.
Baiming Lu still remembers that when his mentor Shang Lu found himself and told him to do things, Baiming He wanted.
Just these four words, Baiminghe wants! It is enough to represent his brother's right to speak in the court. Not to mention the court, but only in front of him, when he brought two scholars from Wenhua Hall to come here. It is etiquette to meet each other, and no one is doing badly. But after reporting his name, it is obvious that the difference in the expressions of these people can be felt.
Everything is because I call it the White Heron.
The white-famous Lu is a juren, but not an official, but an official. He is now a student of the Imperial College. He is a clerk in Wenhua Hall. Those who can be clerks in Wenhua Hall can even get to the level of a prefect in the future, and those who are outstanding can even enter the palace. But what can this be? These merchants will not offend you, but they may not necessarily put you on their heads.
But Bai Minghe's younger brother is different, and this identity is too dazzling.
The white-known Hero was also dazed while sitting on the chair, but she was sighing in her heart that she wanted to make a breakthrough in her own world, but unfortunately the white-known Hero was so outstanding that she could cover up the limelight of everyone.
In the outer hall, some merchants finally spoke.
"Forget it, I think the profit in Hami for more than half a year. I think we are all frogs in the well!"
The person who spoke was named Liu. He was a Su Lao from the Shaanxi Gang. The old man continued: "The people who went to Hami were all small businesses that could not find business. Occasionally, there were a few larger ones, but they were also those who had no idea over the years and lost money. What I want to say is, don't underestimate the Hami place."
A middle-aged man stood up: "Shanxi Wanglong greets you seniors!"
Everyone returned the gifts.
The middle-aged man said, "The old saying goes well. Peach three apricots and four pears for five years. The jujube tree paid back the money that year. Wanglong's financial resources were insufficient, and this time it was recommended by the Xingshou Court." When he said this, the middle-aged man stopped for a while and changed his words and said, "It should be said that according to Lord Bai's suggestion, my business has moved jujube trees in Hami and adopted new breeding technology. The planted last year will inevitably have a good harvest this year!"
"I heard that there are tens of thousands of acres of jujube forests in Hami?"
"The total investment of each company is about 50,000 mu. There are 10,000 mu of grapes. However, the grapes will not bear fruit for the first time next year, and it will take at least three years to harvest them. 50,000 mu of jujube forests can be used to collect 50,000 jujubes in actual harvest!"
At present, the price of high-quality dried dates in Beijing is about 40 cents of silver per pound. A stone is three taels and four cents.
For an ordinary business, tens of thousands of jujubes are a huge fortune.
Don’t take one tael of silver as money. In the Ming Dynasty, a pig with an eighty kilogram of pig is only one tael of seven cents of silver, and an ordinary sheep is just four or five cents of silver. According to this calculation, an ordinary business invested in Hami to get a net profit of 50,000 taels of silver, which can be said to be a year of high yield.
A business group consists of hundreds or thousands of business names, and there are different counters under a large business name, which is equivalent to the form of a branch. No one will ignore tens of thousands of taels of silver. Even the Hui merchant Xie family, which is currently known as the largest business name, has only one million taels of property!
"It seems feasible. I guess, the court came to ask us what we thought, but it was not really necessary for us to come up with an opinion. We always wanted to make a play about Wanmin Books. In the past few days, we have also inquired about the newspapers of some publications and learned some news. Tulupan helped Wata attack the Central Guard of Ningxia. Senior General Zhu Qian died in a fierce battle. Master Bai is going to ask for an explanation for Senior General Zhu. Although we are grass-roots people, we are strong in the Ming Dynasty and are also strong. What are your opinions?"
The merchants nodded one after another.
In fact, the court really cared about their opinions, because continuous wars would affect the livelihood of the people.
The workshop has influenced the production of goods to the outside world, and recruited millions of people. Some of them went to war with the army. They can transport materials to the north from various places, so naturally they also rely on manpower.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, and too much people's strength has been reclaimed, which will naturally hurt farmers.
But the merchants were very humble in their opinion that they were lowly merchants, and the court did not need to ask them what they did. It was a long time to say hello to them, and the court gave them face. But they could not be shameless and always wanted to lift the flower sedan chair, not to mention that this was the Western Expedition proposed by Bai Minghe.
"Then it's settled, just press it back like this?" The old man asked again, and everyone thought it was appropriate.
On the other side, the small compartment where the white-famous Heron is located.
After three soft knocks outside the door, three older men entered the house, bowed to each other and then sat down.
"But we did not discuss the business matters. We just thought that General Zhu Qian died in battle to protect the country, and he felt deeply saddened. After thinking about it, state affairs are important to do business matters, but the country's prestige is just a trivial matter. The money can be earned again, but the country's prestige cannot be damaged. On behalf of all the merchants and people in the world, I beg long live to order the army to march to the west and promote our Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions."
"Old gentleman Gao Yi, please receive a gift from me!" The white-famous ere and two other Imperial College students stood up at the same time and bowed a long bow.
Several old men quickly replied: "But I can't afford this gift. As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, the people will prosper when the country is prosperous, and the people will be sad when the country is weak."
"Old sir, please receive another gift from me!"
After a few rounds, the etiquette went back and forth three times, but finally got the reply from the merchant gang. Bai Minglu quickly returned to Beijing with the other two and headed to Wenhua Palace. They were not qualified to enter Wuying Palace, where the military and national affairs were discussed in the past few days.
After listening to the report of the three, Shang Lu thought that ginger was still so hot.
"You are doing well, and I will give the Chamber of Commerce a commendation in the name of Wenhua Palace. The people are returning to their hearts and prosperity is imminent. Good, good!" Shang Lu sighed and signaled several young people to record: "Open the world, the Tulupanese people surrendered to the Wastu, and raided our Ming Ningxia Guard and Ningxia Central Guard. The left vanguard General Zhu Qian fought with 5,000 troops to fight tens of thousands of enemy troops, smashing his bones to pieces for the Ming Dynasty. Yijiu..." Shang Lu stopped and looked at the white-famous Heron with a smile.
"Teacher!" Bai Minglu quickly stood up.
Shang Lu nodded with a smile: "I want to congratulate you, the Bai family. Your brother is in Yijinai's main force, annihilated 100,000 enemies, and captured Yesian alive. This battle has not yet ended, and all the troops are still pursuing Yesian's remaining troops. Someone will send some battle reports in the future. Please polish it carefully and make it public to the world."
After Shang Lu finished speaking, everyone in the Wenhua Palace was shocked. Ye Xian was captured alive and annihilated 100,000 enemies. How could this suddenly change so amazingly? You must know that the words "sorrow" were written on the faces of these important officials of the Ming Dynasty two days ago.
"Students beg you to avoid it!" The white-known elephant stood up and gave a bow.
"No, Baiminghe no longer needs someone to write lyrics and praise him, and you won't be afraid that after holding the pen, someone will say that you are famous for your brother. In this article that publicizes the world, Baiminghe's name only needs to appear once, he leads his troops!" Shang Luxin said that Baiminghe still uses people to praise him again.
The tablet of immortality can not be set up casually.
There are countless families in the world who hold the sign of immortality for the white-named crane.
"Yes, the student thanks the teacher for his advice!"
Shang Lu left, and more than a dozen outstanding students selected by the Imperial College here, as well as young outstanding officials selected from the Beijing officials to assist the work here, came to congratulate.
The white-famous herons give gifts one by one.
All of them are heroes here. They envy the White-Famous Heron for having a good brother. In the future, the White-Famous Heron will definitely be successful in their officialdom. But at the same time, they sympathize with the White-Famous Heron having such a brother, because under the shadow of the White-Famous Heron, the White-Famous Heron must work ten times harder and hundred times more outstanding than others before they can show themselves.
Instead of being called the younger brother of the white crane.
Of course, no one thinks about anything like white-famous crane, nor does anyone think they can do it.
The white-famous crane, who is twenty-one years old, has reached the height of countless people who have never reached the end of their lives. How to surpass it!
It also gathered and the military camp.
Bai Minghe finally received a reply call, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty personally ordered Bai Minghe to expedition the Western Expedition, promote the power of the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions. He also asked the Tulupan Khan for the death of General Zhu Qian. The entire order did not mention any words such as silver, territory, or annexation, surrender, etc., just promote power and seek justice, and that's all.
I really saw that the capital allowed me to go to Tulupan, and Bai Minghe didn't have much smile on his face.
"Oh..." Bai Minghe sighed long: "I really don't know if I can go home during the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid I won't be able to go home for one month, ahhh!" Bai Minghe let out a long sigh.
Wang Chengxin said that this is the real white-known crane. He will complain, complain, and scold her. But at the critical moment, he can do everything for the young adult of the Ming Dynasty, and even ignore his reputation. Wang Cheng firmly believes that if the history books do not write a strong mark for the white-known crane, it would be that the historian was blind.
But even though the historian did not write it, don’t the people remember it? This is a person who has been famous for all eternity!
At this time, the telegraph machine rang again, and the decree of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was also sent over. (To be continued)
