When Baiminghe came to Hepu, it was so quiet that it made people feel scared.

This is the thirteenth day after the Baiminghe came to Hepu. There is more vitality in the county town, and the villages in the county have become more vibrant. Land measurement still takes a process, and the fields are not deserted. The more than 40,000 acres of unowned land have been planted in just a few days, and the land is not empty and people are at ease.

On this day, Bai Minghe got up early in the morning, changed into official uniforms, and asked the kitchen to make some snacks.

After everything was ready, Bai Minghe sat in the study, looking forward to Brother Zhao coming. Qinghe had a basin of cold water hit Bai Minghe's expectation.

"Young Master, let's not talk about the guests until at least the afternoon. Even if he can come in the morning, what benefits can he give us?"

When Qinghe said this, Bai Minghe smiled badly: "Yes, what benefits can he give us!"

Qinghe was a little at a loss when Bai Minghe reacted like this. Could it be that Brother Zhao was like a fat sheep? The one that was sent to him to be slaughtered. Qinghe didn't believe it very much, but Bai Minghe was obviously full of confidence.

"Silly girl, he can have the most important thing for me." Bai Minghe thought about it and decided to tell Qinghe: "The county magistrate of Hepu County will definitely not be sent anymore. He will definitely choose to delay, and then wait for the capital to arrange someone to come. When the Ministry of Personnel gets this matter done, it will take almost a year to pass."

Qinghe calculated the time Bai Minghe said in her mind.

It takes at least two months to go from here to the capital. The messenger passed by and the Ministry of Personnel selected people. Besides, Hepu is not a good place, so it was really long. This time, it took at least half a year and eight months to go. According to the White-Famous He, it is not surprising that there is a real one for a year.

Bai Minghe said again: "There is another advantage of this matter. After they have trouble, the Ministry of Personnel has sent people. They suddenly found that Hepu County may be a bit strange, and it is too late to change people. When they change people, I am afraid that this master has already made Hepu a solid piece."

Qinghe does not doubt the statement of the white-famous crane.

Given Baiminghe for a year, Hepu is really not something that anyone can say.

"Go and arrange it and let the four people avoid them. Don't let Brother Zhao see them. The four fakes in the prison are also locked up in another place. Let the person named Zhong come over, and then say that the official asked him to be his master and then give him a decent dress." Bai Minghe ordered.

Qinghe was puzzled: "Young Master, if you let Zhong Ming come from afar, the four juren will definitely feel a little uncomfortable."

"Then tell them by the way that revenge is their business. What I provide them with is only a platform and an opportunity. This year, let them do their work with their hearts, and after a year, they can take action. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If he can't wait for this year, let them get a knife and come and kill people!"

"Yes!" Qinghe responded and went to do it himself.

The four juren are not together. Hepu County has too many things to do. In addition to the work arranged by Bai Minghe, there are also many things on the case file.

Qinghe did not ask someone to pass the message, but went to tell them Bai Minghe's decision in person.

At the same time, we are also observing the reactions of these four people after hearing Bai Minghe's decision.

It was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and Brother Zhao arrived as promised.

There was a table in Baiminghe's small living room. Brother Zhao told his followers to go down and warned these people not to walk around.

When there were no outsiders in the room, Zhao Di took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Bai asked the Zajia to wait for seven days, so can the Zajia hear an accurate answer?"

"Yes, but I want to add a few more requests!" Bai Minghe was eating dishes on his own while talking.

"Some miscellaneous families can make the decision, while some miscellaneous families can't make the decision." Seeing Bai Minghe's reaction, Brother Zhao did not dare to answer the conversation.

Bai Minghe picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Brother Zhao: "This is the bottom limit, and it is good for you. I, Bai Minghe, are not an unreasonable person. For example, the first condition is that I need you to give me some time. Hepu Zhumin has just made so many things, so Bai Minghe, dare not let them go to Zhuchi again. So, by the end of this year, I am sure."

Speaking of this, Bai Minghe suddenly laughed: "Why don't you guess, Lao Zhao, at the end of the year, what is my promise to you?"

The word "Old Zhao" brought some distance between the two people closer.

"You can produce 400 taels of good beads. The Za family brings wine to accompany Lord Bai to have a drink. The Za family also knows that some troubles have just happened here, and if you keep them down, the troubles may be even bigger." Brother Zhao was somewhat helpless.

When Bai Minghe heard this, his impression of Zhao Di was a little bit higher.

It was the same exploitation, at least this brother Zhao still had a certain degree and did not force anyone to death.

"If this number exceeds, more than that. Can you find me some craftsmen and shipbuilding craftsmen?" Bai Minghe proposed another idea.

Who would have thought that Zhao Di smiled: "The best boatmen in Guangdong are only in two places. One is Hepu. Originally, Sanbao's father-in-law went to the West and the boat was built in Hangzhou Prefecture. However, Guangdong is an important supply point, and there are many excellent boatmen here. There have been sea bans in recent years, and these people have no livelihoods. There has been no accident in Hepu for a while, and there has been no one to move them, so these people are naturally the first choice."

Bai Minghe nodded. This news was very good news for him.

But who would have thought that Zhao Di continued, "The other place is Siming Mansion. In fact, it is not even a city wall. It is a zone where the Ming Dynasty is not easy to manage, and Annan dares not manage it. The leaders of the two tribes like to have more mountains than water, so they will not manage it. In the past, there were at least two or three hundred boatmen who escaped from Hepu. "

"Who has the final say in Siming Mansion?"

"No one has any say, and the governor's yamen has discussed the matter there. At present, no one dares to get close to it. In the early years, a few bandits wanted to make some profits here. The Ming Dynasty could allow ordinary people to be there, but they would never allow any force. The bandits only occupied two or three days there. As soon as the soldiers from the garrison came out, there were some cruel people among the ordinary people. Once the inside and outside cooperated, the more than 200 bandits lived, only three or two!"

Bai Minghe laughed: "It has nothing to do with me, so I will give you a happy word. At the end of the year, I will give you a thousand taels. But I need a few boats to let you go further."

"The boat matter is easy to talk about. The family can give Mr. Bai another gift. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"One thousand taels? Lord Bai, don't be silly. The family dare not believe this promise!" Zhao Di was very calm. It was because of his calmness that he would not listen to Bai Minghe's empty words.

Bai Minghe stood up and brought paper and pen on the table next to him: "There is no basis for saying that, let's make a note. If it is not enough for a thousand taels, I will use silver to make you."

"No, if it is not enough for one thousand taels, the family wants the annual output of Bai Da Ren Match House, and exchange it for silver." After that, Zhao took the paper and pen directly, and then looked at Bai Minghe, and wrote the document immediately as long as Bai Minghe agreed.

Bai Minghe was thinking because he had no intention of selling all the output of Match House by himself.

Sometimes, eating alone will cause you to choke to death, especially if you don’t have any foundation or background here.

"In principle, I agree. First, give Lao Zhao 8,000 taels of silver every month, and then help me do something. I don't like the different voices in my county government, so this county magistrate wants to find a suitable person. In this exam in the capital, there is a candidate named Cheng Jing. If you send me a letter to Beijing, I want him to be the county magistrate."

When Bai Minghe proposed this condition, Brother Zhao really didn't dare to respond.

The county magistrate is not a high-ranking official, but a rank of eighth rank, but the appointment of officials from the court is not something that Guangdong has the ability to influence.

"Just just send the letter, I will arrange the rest."

"Okay, one word is certain!" Brother Zhao agreed immediately without thinking too much.

"Last thing, Lao Zhao, please give me a clear statement about the maritime ban over the years!"

When Baiminghe came to Hepu, he was not about pearls or making money at this time. The only thing he really cared about was sea trade. Originally, the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, and this order was set during the Taizu period, but later when Zheng He went to the West, the sea ban seemed to be cancelled.

Bai Minghe did not study history deeply, but only watched the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban on TV.

So he needs to know more about the details of the sea ban.

Brother Zhao did not answer immediately, and sat there eating and drinking silently. Bai Minghe was not easy to urge him, because this was not a trivial matter after all.

After a full quarter of an hour, it was about half an hour in modern times that Zhao Di said again: "The sea ban has been looser in recent years, and the imperial court still allows some tribute ships to travel. Every year, the Nanyang area comes to Guangdong Port in the form of tribute, and then give some back here."

Bai Minghe helped Brother Zhao fill up the wine, waiting for Brother Zhao to continue.

"The sea ban was banned when Taizu was still a little chaotic in the Ming Dynasty. Before the Yongle Year, the sea ban still existed. But after the Three Treasures, the sea ban was much tighter. The reason was that many ships came to pay tribute, which caused great losses to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there were bribers' rebellion, so the sea ban still existed."

Bai Minghe finally heard something real.

I was waiting for Brother Zhao to continue talking, but who would have thought that Brother Zhao would not talk anymore.

Pick up the paper and first write down the things I had discussed with Bai Minghe before.

"Mr. Bai, take a look. Is this a good thing we have to discuss?"

Bai Minghe took it and took a look, and it was absolutely correct. Brother Zhao wrote down his name on it and pushed it to Bai Minghe.

After Bai Minghe signed the letter, Zhao brother threw the paper into the charcoal brazier.

"This..." Bai Minghe really didn't understand.
