Bai Minghe has no way to give a very positive answer to Liu Mingxuan’s question, and some things are not empty words.

I can only say: "Please believe me, Baiminghe. After the New Year, if you get the Long Live Secret Order and the Secret Order of the Ministry of War, then the general will naturally believe it 100%. Now everything is false. As the general said, keep it as secret as possible before the end of the year."

"I'll station three thousand soldiers here for you?" Liu Mingxuan asked again.

"No, let a large number of military women come over, with 3,500 people, build a workshop here. My match shop is far from enough staff and requires some people. If you invite some old soldiers to come over and down the wharf, you always have to carry goods. Let the workshop surround the beach, set up checkpoints outside the workshop, and even block the Qinzhou side, leaving only one port."

Bai Minghe’s opinion was pretty good, and Liu Mingxuan thought about it and agreed.

When he sent Bai Minghe out of the camp gate, Bai Minghe said, "The Jinyiwei must release some profits. Half a percent of them are easy to say, and there are some things they are better at than us."

"Don't worry, we are old people, but we are not alone. But the governor will not have anything to do unless they express it. You have to agree to this matter."

"Absolute!" Bai Minghe would naturally agree, and he had nothing to do with the governor's yamen.

Seeing Bai Minghe heading towards the camp of Jinyiwei, several fourth-rank generals appeared behind Liu Mingxuan.

"Old Liu, do you think this little white is reliable?" Lei Jingtian asked.

"Reliable. According to what he said, if you really transport one million stones of rice to the capital, everything can be solved. If the Beijing camp has more grain, the north will feel at ease. After all, the north is uneasy. The taxes in Jiangnan do not charge half a money, nor do you need a foot of cloth, and you need all the food. But in this way, it is not enough for the north. In the past two years, the north of the capital will not be able to recover in five years."

The Tumu Fort Incident, coupled with the Battle of the Capital.

It is no longer as simple as how many people die. Large areas of land are deserted and no one will cultivate them. It is just to give good policies to allow the people in Shandong and other places to move over, but they are not willing to fight at any time.

Forced immigration is also afraid that the people will be unstable, so the defense line in the north is very difficult.

"Go back and study the details well. Give me an explanation to the governor. All the guards will have some people. We, the guards, have to compete for profits within each guard. You, Chaozhou and Leizhou, must have bloodletting out. It is impossible that you will only be fat!

Lei Jingtian smiled heartily. This was the business of Guangdong Dusi Yamen, not the business of his Leizhou Wei family.

Bai Minghe went to the Jinyiwei and said hello, but said hello. He told him that he had a good talk with the military and could win about 30,000 taels of silver a year for the Jinyiwei. In addition to the profit of the Jinyiwei match business, the Jinyiwei could not only pay one tael of silver to the subordinates every month, but also buy some supplies.

The spies sent out were also guaranteed.

Guangdong Jinyiwei does not doubt Bai Minghe, and Hang Yubao is the same thing. Wu Bin is here, so he is naturally relieved.

The white-known crane did not walk again, but instead brought him back to the city.

It’s not about making a name for itself, but Bai Minghe needs to rest in the sedan chair to restore himself to his sufficient physical strength. The sedan chair has been walking around the city, but without entering the house, and secretly leaves the west city gate and heads towards the beach.

There are three levels, whether the white-name crane is on the sedan chair or not, the person carrying the sedan chair will be able to continue to go inward after they have confirmed the body.

"Sir!" After Bai Minghe got out of the sedan chair, he knelt all over the ground.

"Don't kneel down even if the weather is cold. Thank you for your hard work tonight. Whether you succeed or not is related to your life and death. Everyone must be fully motivated in this matter." Bai Minghe got out of the sedan chair and helped Old Man Tao up.

After entering a thick tent, the thick tent wrapped the light inside the tent.

"Everyone has been practicing for many days. When you start working on a live clam, let's talk about the first rule first. That is, everyone's hands must be washed with medicinal liquid, and if there is a little unclean work, it will be in vain. Then all tools must be steamed on fire, at least 300 steamed on high heat."

After Bai Minghe ordered, everyone went out to wash their hands.

According to Bai Minghe's requirements, all people who have washed their hands must hold their hands flat and no longer contact any matters.

The division of labor here is very clear, and the people who start the job have received strict training.

The steamed tools were put up, and there were four people in one person who started to fight. This was strongly requested by the white crane, because there was no disinfection level in ancient times like in modern times.

The main knife sits on the chair, and the clam is taken and placed in front of the main knife. The nucleus is also washed with water. Moreover, the core cannot be directly touched by hand. It is a very thin bamboo clip. Take it with a clip, and then another assistant opens the clam in a thread.

The white crane cannot unify the clams, so there are many varieties of clams selected.

Some clams can have many cores, while others can only be in two or three parts. For example, among the clams, Hepu's unique shells, only the left bag, the right bag, and the lower foot can be limited to the seeds.

"You must start with steadily, don't be quick, even if you plant a few less. The size of this bead core is 25 of four-inch shells. You must distribute them well, and don't let the beads be connected." Bai Minghe explained next to him.

These people have practiced with dead clams, and when they really started, half of their hands were shaking.

According to the algorithm of the white-name crane, the size of this core is as small as thirty and the number of beads is as large as 40. According to modern algorithms, the size of this core is only about 2.5 mm, and the beads will exceed about three millimeters. This is the smallest type, and it is also used by the white-name crane to practice the hands of these people in their lives.

The fourth one is to start, put the clam in the temperature of about ten degrees, and the disinfectant water of traditional Chinese medicine. Then it will be placed in specially prepared fertilizer water, and it will be placed in the sea three days later.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were nine-level categories of beads.

It is about three millimeters, which is about one or two ounces of eight hundred beads. This is already an excellent bead, and it is called "eight hundred sons".

Among the top beads, the lower level is "Zhengqian"

Further down, it is medium or low-quality beads. The price is naturally much lower.

These beadworkers will tremble because they can settle the accounts. If you plant twenty shells here, you will have one or two beads. Just in the past, how long does it take to pick these two "eight hundred seeds"? Sometimes there are not necessarily one or two beads in thousands of clams.

Eight hundred sons, one or two beads are worth ten taels of gold. When you arrive in the capital, it is much more than this price.

The twenty pearl workers here are worth at least one hundred taels of silver. If anyone shakes his hand, he will lose five taels of silver.

The white-name crane has its own calculation method, which he calls this number three beads. Next is the number four and five beads. Then the number six middle beads and the number seven middle beads. The white-name crane method is actually calculated in millimeters.

Twenty beadworkers, plus four of them each, a total of one hundred people. After an hour, almost more than four hundred clams were breeded. Another specialized clams had been carried out and placed in a small pond.

"Next, the No. 8 Bead Core!" Bai Minghe didn't expect all these to survive. He was secretly happy after half of the survival rate.

Of course, it is possible that all of them will survive.

Bai Minghe ordered, and a bench worker knelt down with his hands. "Sir, please let me rest for a while."

Generally speaking, how dare those who work like this and say they can rest casually. The other few knelt down quickly: "Sir, although the number eight bead core is simpler, there are only five beads per clam, but we are very scared."

Tao Li was coming to explain: "Sir, two years ago, someone bought 108 four-cent round beads in Nanjing Prefecture. The offer price was 4,000 taels and they didn't buy them. In the end, they bought the 108 beads for 4,800 taels. One bead was a high price of 40 taels. After the four-cent beads were formed, they dared to be the size of the 8th bead core!"

The Ming Dynasty said that four cents are divided into ten cents, and one cent is divided into ten cents. The Ming Dynasty’s sixteen ounces are one pound, and one pound is four hundred and ninety-six eight grams. One ounce is thirty-seven three and four grams. This cent is about 105 grams.

Bai Minghe had calculated these before. Eight-mm-sized pearls are about 3.5 carats, and the weight is zero or seven grams, which is far less than Old Man Tao said it is four minutes. Four minutes is about 1.5 grams.

"Old Tao, this is just two-quarters, don't be so nervous. But since everyone is tired, drink a little water and eat some hot food. Start working in a quarter of an hour. Tonight, you must breed a thousand beads of No. 10 bead core, which is what Old Tao calls the quarter beads. Go and rest!"

"Thank you!" Everyone thanked each other in unison.

What is the concept of five thousand taels of silver? Jin Jie told Bai Minghe that when the eunuch of Sanbao went to the West, the two thousand materials warships paid 430 taels of silver at the Nanjing treasure shipyard. The wood prices vary, but Jin Jie didn't know.

In other words, five thousand taels of silver are the wages of twelve 2,000 warships.

Later research from the 2,000-item warships was that the displacement was about 1,000 to 1,100 tons. As for wooden ships, they were already super huge. Of course, Zheng He's treasure ship was even bigger, so this was not something Jin Jie could understand.

Guangdong Shipyard, a 1,500-material warship, or 300 taels of silver labor costs.

Finally, the No. 10 bead core has arrived, which is also the largest bead core that Baiming crane can make. No matter how big it is, it is not made of shell grinding, but requires a synthetic method using shells as raw materials.

Mr. Tao set up an incense table, lighted incense and kowtowed three times, and stood up: "Tonight, the last thousand. The selected ones are three and a half inches of golden flower clams. Each clam breeds a core. The hands should be fast, light, and the clam injury should be small. Think about it, a clam is ten taels of silver, and your rewards will not be small. This year, everyone's clams will be recorded. The live clam rate next year is related to the livelihood of your family. Let's start working!"

Almost at the same time, everyone took a deep breath. This is the highest-end and most valuable bead.

"Don't make mistakes, we have some live clams. But they cannot die after breeding beads. So once everyone feels that their technique is wrong or the clam is too deep, change the clam immediately, don't force it!"

The white-famous crane was also explaining next to him.

Today is just a first test, and there will be a greater workload tomorrow. The rate of dead clams given by Bai Minghe is 30%, and the rate of old man Tao is 10%.

After half a year, I knew how much money these clams could be worth.
