DAY 166 Leaving Beijing

Bai Minghe, who returned to the mansion, breathed a long sigh and was finally able to return to his territory.
Qinghe brought water to wipe Bai Minghe's face.
"Young Master, is this over?" Qinghe asked in a low voice.
"Yes, the game in the court will never be earth-shaking. When the result comes, the fierce battle has basically ended. The matter in the capital was actually decided after that China-Korean meeting. Who would think that the ending is only today? Then this person has not even figured out the door of the officialdom that has opened to the side!"
Bai Minghe has only been in the officialdom for half a year, but he has shown up his old qualifications.
"Young Master, I'm leaving tomorrow. Should I invite the second master and the second master to visit the mansion?" Qinghe asked from the side.
Please or not.
Baiminghe was a little hesitant. It would be better to hold a banquet to invite more people. But this has many disadvantages. Baiminghe does not want to have more contact with Baiminghe. This is the capital city, not the hometown of Guanzhong. Since Baiminghe will still be in the court in the future, he cannot live under his own shadow.
"Well, prepare a car. I'll go to my second uncle's house and invite them to come over. After all, I'm a junior. It's impossible to just ask Minglu to not invite the second uncle, and let someone prepare more gifts. I'll just walk around." Bai Minghe ordered.
Qinghe immediately went to make arrangements, while Bai Minghe leaned on the soft chair and rested for a while.
There is no idle person in the Bai Mansion at this time. In addition to moving, there are also a large amount of goods purchased from the capital to move to Tianjin Wei.
When Bai Minghe left the mansion, except for Bai Hong, the junior middle school class, he only brought four guards and two special people.
One was the shopkeeper of the restaurant named Qian Yun under Yuan Wanxuer. The other went out to find out the current situation in the capital. He also knew that his backer was directly removed from his title. He wisely knelt in front of the Bai Mansion Gate for an hour, the second son.
Bai Minghe left the mansion and headed straight to the territory of the original East Factory.
The East Factory has not moved yet, so it has already requested the moving fee of seven stones of gold from Baiminghe. Of course, the original land is also belonged to Baiminghe.
"This official needs several streets here. Then the shops are rented to each business. There are only four inns, four restaurants, sixteen teahouses, warehouses, storefronts, etc...." Bai Minghe took out a large picture. This is the planning map he prepared. At present, there is no trouble with the procedures in this land except Dongchang.
"Original family, there are few people in this place. Will anyone rent it if it is built?" Qian Yun asked carefully.
"Just build it. It doesn't matter if there is anyone renting it. Just build it according to my requirements. The money is not a problem, it must be built well. And it must follow my requirements, how much drainage there is and how many trees there are planted. These cannot be bad, they can only be better, they cannot be bad."
Bai Minghe's rigid demand. Qian Yun could only agree unconditionally.
After walking around the land, Bai Minghe told Qian Yun about several very important requests. Qian Yun took out paper and wrote them down.
Finally, when we arrived at a slum, the land of Baiminghe went east. The place was not big, because the land of Baiminghe was originally a stone-breaking factory in Beijing, so the surrounding people were all poor people. To the east, there were some excellent houses, which were the residences of officials.
"You have to buy all these yards, houses, and land for poor families!"
Bai Minghe gave this to his second son.
Erzi said, "Mom, how much money does it cost to have such a big land?"
"Don't buy it directly. Buy a piece of land in a place with a cheaper land price and build a house. Their land is exchanged for two houses. My Baiminghe rule is to bully the strong, not the poor. Of course, whoever wants a scoundrel to make a fraud, can only raise the price on the ground and barely give more. If you pass, you will deal with it!"
"Yes, I will follow your instructions from you!" Erzi quickly replied.
Bai Minghe took out a map of Shuntian Mansion, which had a range with a red stroke. It can be said that all the poor and poor areas around the quarry were wrapped up by Bai Minghe.
"We need everything here. We need to build a warehouse, cheap inn, brothel, casino, and winery. Brothels must not be included in the circle of Qianzhangguan, and can only be built on the periphery. Before doing this, you go to Dongchang to report for preparations, and I have already agreed with Dongchang."
The second son just nodded continuously.
Bai Minghe said again: "Finally, if the official wants to get a hand here and buy a piece of land. You don't have to ask me, you just need to go to the mansion of the chief minister of the dynasty, and Mr. Chen said you can buy it, so you can go out with it. Mr. Chen said no, and naturally someone will stop you from the matter."
"Yes, yes!" Erzixin said, this broken place would cost a few taels of silver, who would come to earn here?
But he didn't know that the place Bai Minghe wanted to buy would naturally come and buy it.
Because Baiming He is very good at making money. Therefore, according to Baiming He's style of acting, he can make money even if he follows the trend.
Bai Minghe didn't need to leave it to the Dongchang for the purpose of leaving it. His task was to avoid the rogues in the capital, which affected Qian Yun's business.
The white-famous crane is about to be built, just like a bonded area in later generations. It is a place for exchanges of goods from other countries.
This has been reported to the upper house, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty even more so.
After finishing his own land affairs, Bai Minghe went to visit the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty one by one. He did not follow the identity, but just followed the other one.
Hang Yu, who didn't visit last time, also went there this time. It was Gaogu Mansion, where Shi Heng lived temporarily, and Baiminghe also went there. The gifts he gave were not very expensive, but just some thoughts.
The only person who did not go there was the grandfather and father of the current queen, Wang family.
This is Yang Yi who went on behalf of Baiming He. There is no need to explain. The Wang family is very clear about the relationship between this. They cannot have any contact with Baiming He on the surface. It is enough for Yang Yi to come over to represent Baiming He to express his feelings.
The most unexpected person is Yu Qian.
He didn't let Bai Minghe enter the door, and just accepted Bai Minghe's gift at the door of his house, and then said directly: "You have already said goodbye, I already know. You can continue to go to the next house!"
Bai Minghe asked for something boring, but still smiled: "Sir Yu, you must eat and drink well, sleep well and rest well. Don't work too hard, take care of yourself."
Just as Yu Qian was about to say a few polite words, Bai Minghe said again: "I know I'm quite annoying, so you have a good spirit. Don't be angry about a little thing, let alone I'm in Guangdong, and the distance is very far. Even if you are angry, I don't know, so keep your anger and wait for me to come back!"
Yu Qian knew that Bai Minghe did it on purpose, but he felt a little closer in his heart. However, when Bai Minghe heard that behind Yu Qian, someone couldn't help laughing, and he was an older person.
"Goodbye, I'm happy!" Bai Minghe bowed and prepared to leave. He thought that there were guests here, so he didn't let himself enter the house. Some words can be said to Qian alone, but it's okay to joke about him. But once there were outsiders, Bai Minghe thought it was inappropriate, so he was in a hurry to leave.
Bai Minghe was about to leave, but Yu Qian refused. "Bai Minghe, I also have a gift for you." Yu Qian took a few steps back and a person appeared behind him. Seeing Bai Minghe, he clasped his fists gently.
Bai Minghe quickly returned the gift and explained: "Don't be surprised by Lord He. Lord Yu is like an elder of a lower official. Sometimes he is naughty and says a few strange words as a junior. This is not disrespectful to the adults."
"Mr. Bai's words are beyond your opinion. I am afraid that the only one of you who knows the relationship between you, Lord Bai and Lord Yu, are not aware of the relationship in the capital. I and Lord Yu are discussing your memorial. Since you are here, I will come in and say a few words. It will not delay you from going to the other masters' houses to say goodbye!"
"Come in!" Yu Qian smiled and glared at Bai Minghe.
Bai Minghe signaled Bai Hong to wait outside and followed Yu Qian into the yard.
After two seats, Yu Qian said, "Dongyuan Gong also thinks your memorial is very good. You have also seen it in the court today. The only one-tenth of memorials you wrote, but it is still blocked. Therefore, this matter can only be changed slowly. Dongyuan Gong believes that your idea is not wrong, but his approach is a little naive."
"Please give me advice!"
"I can't tell you the advice. I think Bai Minghe's move was a move to revive the Ming Dynasty, but you only considered how to do it, but never thought about how to start. You thought about the specific plan, which was very good and very rigorous. But how to implement this plan and how it was recognized by all officials in the court. So, you didn't think well."
He Wenyuan's words were very confusing, but Bai Minghe could understand them.
This is telling yourself that there is no practical possibility for your perfect idea, because it lacks the soil or environment required for the actual plan.
"The first step of the white-famous crane is to improve the status of the sergeant and the general escapes from the humble family." Yu Qian also said.
He Wenyuan explained to Bai Minghe: "There are people outside scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants. These cheap people are divided into three or nine levels, prostitutes are the lowest, and the army is considered the best among the lowest. But this is not enough. Only after turning the family into a scholar, farmers, industry and commerce, can your plan be implemented."
"Ten years?" Bai Minghe asked: "Isn't ten years enough?"
"It's difficult, unless there are some variables. If the world is peaceful, there may be a chance in thirty years." He Wenyuan was not attacking the white-famous crane, but Daming has set the tone since Taizu, respecting Confucianism and scholars. Soldiers are just cheap people. It's not easy to change the social hierarchy.
After asking some of Bai Minghe’s own thoughts, Yu Qian said, “Bai Minghe, this matter is just to tell you. I will do the specific matter with Dongyuangong. Dongyuangong wrote a copy of the words for you. Return to Guangdong and open it to read.”
When He Wenyuan handed a long scroll to Bai Minghe, he said, "When I arrived in Guangdong, please take care of my students!"
