Bai Minghe, who was relieved by Wan Xueer, had the little bit of worries in his heart disappeared and he talked too much.
Wan Xueer knew that it would be bad if someone heard some words.
He took Bai Minghe away from the seat and arrived at a small compartment in the backyard. Naturally, he didn't dare to take Bai Minghe back to his house. Even if Wan Xueer was not afraid of Bai Minghe doing anything to her, she was also afraid that if Qinghe knew, she would be unable to explain something.
After tasting a cup of tea made by Wan Xueer himself, Bai Minghe's words opened.
"If you want to talk about this Mr. Fang, he is loyal and loyal. But the consequences he brings are extremely serious. Not to mention how many people died, but only the severance of thoughts. Because he was happy, but his school, as well as his teacher's lineage, have died. So far, are there any thinkers in the Ming Dynasty? They are all pedantic to read books to death!"
The white-famous crane is a little careless here in Wan Xueer.
Bai Minghe used this cool word, but it was a bit disrespectful to the other party Xiaoru. Wan Xueer did not care about these words, but just listened to Bai Minghe's theory with great care and wrote it silently in her heart.
"If you just read books to death, there will be no ideological progress. The Ming Dynasty will gradually become a dynasty like the Yuan Dynasty, which will slowly decline. To put it terrible, it may make China unable to revitalize for hundreds of years. Think about it, the loss of Hetao, the independence of Annan, and the change of Tumubao are all because the Ming Dynasty lacks thinkers!"
After hearing Bai Minghe talk about this, Wan Xueer asked.
"Young Master, what is a thinker?"
"Confucian and Mencius are thinkers, and thinkers are: people who study thoughts, thinking and thinking patterns and form ideological systems."
Bai Minghe's explanation is very popular. After thinking about it, Wan Xueer can also understand the meaning. For example, Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty also belongs to the scope of thinkers.
"If you continue, I dare not spread it. It will really kill me." Bai Minghe said to Wan Xueer with a smile.
"Young Master, even if you lose your life, Xueer will die with you." Wan Xueer blurted out. She herself didn't know what this sentence really meant. It was because the words were spread. Is she dying with you together? Is it a pity or another meaning, to commit suicide?
Bai Minghe laughed: "You know that it is a very far place, which was originally called Daqin. Some people say that the place we live in is round and it is around the sun. The Holy See asked him to change his words, but he was unwilling to do so. So he was burned to death. He was also keeping the way in his heart."
"Xue'er wonders!"
"The place we live is really round, just like a hawthorn. This is the truth. That person died to protect the truth. What is Fang Xiaoru of our Ming Dynasty guarding?" Bai Minghe asked a rhetorical question.
If it was a different person, Wan Xueer would have the answer in her heart. But Bai Minghe asked, but she didn't know how to answer. Instead, she wanted to hear what Bai Minghe said.
Bai Minghe lowered his voice: "I really don't know what he is guarding? Is it true that one of the sons of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty competed with another grandson for the throne? Is it the truth? Is it the thought? Or is it the invasion of foreign races, like Prince Yue and Wen Tianxiang. His protection actually cut off the thoughts of many people in the Ming Dynasty."
Bai Minghe didn't dare to say that seriously. If it were placed in later generations, Bai Minghe would definitely dare to say that he would devote himself to maintaining the orthodox nature of the imperial power like Fang Xiaoru. He would have no help in the progress of society, the pursuit of truth, and the meaning of life. Naturally, he would not dare to say this, even if Bai Minghe trusted Wan Xueer.
Bai Minghe and Wan Xueer chatted for a long time, starting with Fang Xiaoru, and talking about humanities, geography, astronomy, etc.... a lot of knowledge. Bai Minghe admired Wan Xueer, a young woman, who was really well-read.
But Wan Xueer was shocked by the vastness of Bai Minghe's knowledge and broad thinking.
At the age of eighteen, can you read so many books from the womb? From another perspective, are there so many books for Baiminghe? Many things that Wan Xueer has never heard of, like listening to heavenly books.
At the third update, Bai Minghe Guo really returned to the mansion as he promised.
But Wan Xueer was preparing silently, preparing to go to Bai Mansion in person at dawn the next day to visit Sun Yuanjun. She had met Sun Yuanjun before, and she had something to say tonight. She planned to tell Sun Yuanjun selectively, especially about safety issues and Bai Minghe's extensive knowledge, so she must tell Sun Yuanjun.
As for Qinghe, Wan Xueer still had a little selfishness and did not tell Qinghe. Especially about Baiminghe's extensive knowledge.
The next morning, the white-famous crane was still in a dream.
It is really not easy to sleep until you wake up naturally. In modern times, when I thought of paying employees every month and paying rent, water and electricity bills, Bai Minghe never got up at more than 6:30. There is no alarm clock in the Ming Dynasty, the dawn is morning, and the rooster crows is dawn.
Bai Minghe spent the night in the study, and no one would disturb him unless there was an urgent matter.
Whether it was the hot water for washing his face or the breakfast he wanted to eat, they were all ready, and there was another person guarding the door. When Bai Minghe got up, he immediately called his servants to come and serve.
The life of the landlord Laocai is far from this.
I just woke up, but the sound of getting up was brought to the bell on the bed tent. Outside the door, Bai Hong called the servants, and then Bai Hong gently pushed the door in, picked up the long gown from the rack and sent it to Bai Minghe: "Young Master, before dawn this morning, there were more than a dozen old men and dozens of young people kneeling outside the door. I didn't dare to wake you up."
"Who is it?" Bai Minghe asked while wearing his clothes.
"It was said that it was the Fujian Business Gang, the Chaoshan Gang, and the people waiting for the business gang. By the way, there was an old man just standing, but he didn't kneel down. He stood next to the people of the Fujian Business Gang. He said he was waiting for the young master, you get up."
After hearing Bai Hong's words, Bai Minghe thought to himself that he needed a mature and polite person to be a housekeeper in Guangzhou.
No matter who comes or what the reason, if someone kneels in front of your door for so long, what do you think of the people in Guangzhou? For such a thing, at least you have to call yourself up first.
Bai Minghe didn't wear official uniforms, but just put on a long gown and walked quickly out the door.
In front of the door, there were not only people kneeling all over the ground, but hundreds of people stood in the outer circle, all of whom were the people of Guangzhou City.
Bai Minghe had sharp eyes and saw Yang Neng standing among the crowd at first sight, but Yang Neng signaled himself not to look for him, he was just watching the fun.
Bai Minghe cursed in his heart, thinking that you are not here to see the lively atmosphere of Bai Minghe.
After glanced at the kneeling people, Bai Minghe's eyes stopped on the man standing. Unlike Bai Hong who was talking about an old man, the Ming Dynasty started to keep beards at the age of 30, and this person was at most fifty years old, and it may not be even less than. After careful examination, Bai Minghe felt more alert in his heart. This person was a soldier and had been on the battlefield.
After walking a few steps to the person, Bai Minghe bowed and said, "I've been neglected."
"I am a commoner, and I am a gentleman. I came here and only wanted to be a lawyer once to ask for a fair deal for the Fujian merchants. They are guilty, but they will not die. They are bandits, but they are forced to make a living. They should be punished, but they should not be punished. They have made merits, but they cannot be rewarded!"
"I am a white-known crane just..." Bai Minghe said that he had the qualifications to try the case in Guangzhou.
But the other party stopped Bai Minghe from continuing: "Even if this case is placed in the capital, Lord Bai will have at least a second trial seat, which is placed in Guangzhou City. No one dares to say that he can try this case on behalf of Lord Bai. In the two provinces of Guangdong and Fujian, no one is qualified to try this case except you Bai Minghe! Punishment on behalf of heaven!"
When it comes to the punishment of Heaven, Bai Minghe no longer refuses.
He is already notorious in Guangdong, and the children in Guangzhou are scared by the name of the white crane.
"Come on, prepare to go to court!"
Baiminghe Mansion has a large number of soldiers under Fan Liang. Even if he has never been a yamen runner, he has seen a court to ask questions.
Just lift a table up on the street, and then soldiers covered in armor stood on both sides, without water and fire sticks, only spears!
"Try the small case first, what do Chaozhou has to say for you!"
"Mr. Bai, we were originally a member of the Guangdong Business Gang. Now we have re-established a business gang called the Guangzhou Foreign Gang. The merchant gangs outside the Guangzhou City have joined forces separately. The punishment mentioned before is accepted, and we are willing to reduce the price by 10% of the supply, and we are willing to increase the price by 10% of the purchase. Please give it to me!"
This old man is very bachelor.
Since you have surrendered, Bai Minghe will not force anyone to death. He said, "The punishment for you will be until before the New Year. Since you have newly established a business gang, I have three requirements. I will not punish you next year after I have done it. First, the hemp rope is all handmade before. Before the New Year, I will see the machine that makes hemp rope, and one machine can be used to work at least thirty people."
"All Lords orders!"
The first punishment for Baiming Crane is a bit strange. It is more of a stimulus than a punishment. You should know that the current one of the ropes is a astronomical number. The goods must be packaged and tied. It must be used on the ship and on the carriage. As long as the goods are transported, the rope must be absolutely indispensable.
"The second article is five hundred linen looms. If you want a brand new one, you can only be better than the previous ones, and not worse. Do you know what is good?"
"Sir, the old loom requires three people a day at one hundred feet. It is good if the new loom reaches one hundred and fifty feet a day!" The old man immediately thought of the requirements of the loom from Bai Minghe that the hemp rope machine was mentioned.
Bai Minghe nodded: "The third item is one million porcelain bottles. They are as big as eight liang and as small as two liang. Is there any problem?"
"No, I must provide it to the adults. But the old man dared to ask, what is this bottle? There is a design here." The former shopkeeper of the Chaozhou Business Group said that, right? The bottles containing different things are completely different in design. In addition to sealing, there are many other requirements.
Bai Minghe thought about it and asked Bai Hong to enter the yard to lift some things.
"Everyone stand up. Is there any mistake? I will reward and punish you. Since the trial is being held public today, I will give you justice."
One million bottles are really nothing in the era of industrialization in the later generations. But in the era of pure handicrafts in the era of Ming Dynasty, this number is very scary.
