On the second day of the dynasty meeting, Bai Minghe did not attend, and the matter on this day was too boring. The case of salt industry and corruption among officials at all levels was officially begun. The officials in the capital first submitted a self-punishment memorial, and then the political outline of the following year. The cabinet and six ministries officially began to review it, and the important case was reported to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty before declaring the case.
Zhu Qiyu really doesn't feel anything if he has a little money.
He just received a reward of Zhu Qiyu, who was following the crowd, would give him the word "exemption".
Those who are greedy and central figures will be punished separately depending on the situation. Because they are frank and lenient in advance, the central figures are also divided into two types. One is those who earn money for the entire group at the hands of Gaogu and divide them to officials at all levels according to their heads. This is the person who is a person who is demoted to the first level and retained for the crime.
Those who were greedy and slutty were not beheaded and exiled a few.
Bai Minghe did not go, nor did Jin Lian. He wrote a memorial, only one sentence: The heart of the minister can be seen by heaven and earth!
Jin Lian did not go, but was guarding the white-famous crane's account book check.
Baiminghe's account books are piled up with a full warehouse, and all the small and small accounts are here.
"Mr. Jin, I'm sincere enough!"
Jin Lian ignored Bai Minghe and flipped through the very clearly marked account books. What he wanted was not the total number. If he wanted the total number, please live and let Bai Minghe say the number. What Jin Lian wanted to see was the silver flow of Bai Minghe.
"This little Luzon seems to have little profit. A ship of coconut fruit is only worth 300 taels of silver, but it has driven an industry worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. You ship to Fujian every day for twenty ships, that is, Fujian benefited 200,000 taels of silver every day." Jin Lian's words surprised Bai Minghe.
"Mr. Jin, do you know the GDP?"
"I don't know!"
"But what you just mentioned is the concept of GDP, the entire industrial chain driven by coconut fruit and all the value of the industry, including transportation income, product income, market economy value, output value, etc., which is the GDP brought by a ship of olives."
"It's reasonable! A ship of olive fruit can produce three thousand kilograms of special fine coconut oil, which is worth three thousand taels of silver. Then the workers' wages and transportation money. Then the residue produces more sub-grade coconut oil, mattresses and other debris, which is another profit. It also brings many opportunities for work for the people. The entire income should be the total value. But how much do you benefit from it?"
"The actual purchase price of a ship of coconut should be within 30 taels. The cost of shipping at sea, plus the crew's wages, and the cost of repairing the ship. This is a profit, and then purchasing refined coconut oil can be fought for once, which is not a big interest rate spread. But this is all small money. The key is that the olive alone in Fujian Province will be taxed more than 5 million taels per year. Because there is no levy or pledge, the tax is higher than before. The tax on the coconut oil mill is 10% and the rest is half to half."
Jin Lian stared at Bai Minghe, and the meaning was very obvious.
Do you dare to even think about taxes?
"Mr. Jin, this tax will probably be reported after the New Year. In early March, Fujian will escort you five million stones of rice, and three thousand stones of silver should be guaranteed. If you want more, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice will have to work hard, and do not pay any official to pay or force donations. The merchants will implement the new tax rate."
"I have thought about this matter, and in principle I support you."
Jin Lianxin said that Fujian Province alone has collected taxes that are almost close to the three provinces in Jiangnan. It is not impossible to prevent the yamen from levying. Then it is necessary to classify officials and yamen runners according to what Bai Minghe said. Small people also have a hard-working subsidy, rather than relying on exploiting merchants. The administration of officials is only feasible.
Bai Minghe accompanied Jin Lian and was preparing to go to the warehouse in Dongchang again to take a look.
Although the profits of the Japanese island can be kept confidential, since the Dongchang warehouse is not a secret, it cannot be hidden from Jin Lian.
Jin Lian refused, "Mr. Bai, what day is tomorrow?"
Bai Minghe touched his chin: "Tomorrow, it seems that there is no need to go to court tomorrow. It's vacation."
Hahaha! Jin Lian smiled heartily: "I finally understand why Yu Qian said you are a good official and a good minister. Tomorrow is your wedding day, and you have forgotten it. Tell me, what are you thinking at this time?"
"I'm wondering, why did you coax you? Some accounts can't be seen!"
"I don't plan to look at all your account books. Some of them are probably only aware of them." Jin Lian took out a small brocade bag from his pocket, which contained a small seal. The size of the seal was only a little bit as big as a little finger: "Although I am the Minister of Revenue, the money in my charge is from the Ming Dynasty. This small seal was a piece of Tianhuang."
The stone is very soft when touched by the hand. The white-famous crane does not know how to seal it, and also knows that Tianhuang is a good thing.
"Mr. Yang Shan went on a mission to Khmer, but he found some gems similar to this soft stone. However, there was no such thing as Tian Huang, but it was a light blue and great. Later, someone asked someone to send a few pieces to Lord Jin to see if the seal could be used. These were originally used as samples, whether the purchase or the purchase price had not been determined. There were a lot of goods here that were rated and priced, but one or two stones in the head office were not involved."
"What is urgent and why is slow?"
"Those who can eat are ranked first, food, medicine, replenishment, and fruit. Those who can wear are ranked second, and those who can be used as instruments are ranked third. Things that can only be fun are naturally placed backwards like stones."
Jin Lian's perception of the white-famous crane has changed a little, and luxury goods are very profitable. The first thing that Bai Minghe focuses on is eating and clothing, which is indeed different from ordinary people.
Jin Lian said a few polite words, saying that he had no relatives in the capital during the New Year. If Bai Minghe was not afraid of this old man being annoying, Jin Lian planned to celebrate the New Year with Bai Minghe and help Bai Minghe identify the seal stones.
Nine out of ten Confucian ministers of the Ming Dynasty were calligraphers, and seals were trivial for him.
The next day, Bai Minghe's wedding was held. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty accepted his retainers and sacrificed his ancestors. All of them were held in the Taimiao of Ming Dynasty. Bai Minghe had a poker face from morning to night, but he was counting silently: "Two sixty-one, two hundred and sixty-two!" Jin Ying was responsible for the Li Shi on Bai Minghe's side. When he heard the numbers in Bai Minghe's mouth, he just smiled.
Without asking, he knew what the white-famous crane was counting.
Such a high priest had already made detailed arrangements before.
There are 399 etiquettes in total, and there are 28 kneeling ceremony alone and 84 kowtows. Even if there are 84 etiquettes, Bai Minghe's reaction is not surprising. I think this is the same when the old emperor was young.
"The ceremony is over!" The last voice of Yang Ning, the Minister of Rites on the stage, the eyes of Bai Minghe immediately lit up.
Next, there are two different rituals. One is that Mo Long joined the Ming Dynasty and bowed to the Ming Dynasty. The other is that Bai Minghe also held another wedding banquet in his mansion.
After three rounds of wine, Bai Minghe finally toasted all the guests and put the wine glasses on the table: "Bridal chamber!"
The entire banquet venue became quiet in an instant, and then laughed.
Bai Minghe's face turned pale because he felt an unusual smell. Why did he feel something embarrassing?
"White-known He, according to the royal etiquette, you will have to celebrate your wedding for three days. The first day you worship your ancestors, the second day you respect the heaven and earth, and the third day you congratulate your friends. Then you can enter the bridal chamber, so..." Yang Jun laughed and poured a large bowl of wine into the mouth of Baiming He. A group of military officers who came back from the north also rushed up.
There are so many white-known cranes, but they don’t believe it anymore. These dozens of people can’t let down one of the white-known cranes.
At this time, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty arrived.
Attend a minister's wedding. Even if you marry a princess, it's okay if the minister comes to the palace and kowtow. It's really rare to see him before you personally.
Bai Minghe was already half drunk. He started to find someone to fight for alcohol. He even brought down seven or eight generals. Yang Jun had already crawled under the table and was no longer awake.
"Long live!" The minister with status came to greet him.
Zhu Qiyu nodded and replied, indicating that he would not have to call Bai Minghe anymore, and only asked Bai Minghe's study to be vacated and he wanted to use it himself. Then he took the ministers to the study.
As I said before, even if I was still a big revenge yesterday, I would meet with a smile this year.
When Bai Minghe was married, Hu Yi, who wanted to bite him to death, came here too. Moreover, Hu Yi's name was on the banquet list for three consecutive days. This is the demeanor of a great scholar, and he was divided into public and private. In private, Hu Yi still admired Bai Minghe very much.
After entering the Baiminghe Study Room, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "I gave him the surname Mo Long, and originally planned to bring him with me. Think about it, let him indulge in a few days. His preferences are different from ordinary people. He doesn't like young and beautiful, but he likes a little charm. I have given him thirty palace maids who originally left the palace. I hope he can walk to the hall by himself during the New Year banquet."
Zhu Qiyu said it very tactfully.
They are all big names, so you can naturally understand these words.
Mo Long likes mature imperial sisters, and then the Emperor of Ming Dynasty gave thirty old virgins in the palace who were almost crazy. I think these thirty palace maids who are like wolves and tigers in the past few days are likely to have squeezed Mo Long out.
"Sit down!" Zhu Qiyu pointed to the chair in Bai Minghe's study.
Sitting behind the desk, Zhu Qiyu picked up a book that had not been bound on the small rack next to him and took a few glances. He wrote a book about astronomy. Zhu Qiyu couldn't understand this book, and could say that he couldn't touch the edge at all. The Milky Way, galaxies, nebula, planets, etc. were not sticking to the knowledge he had ever contacted.
Seeing the ministers sitting down, Zhu Qiyu put the book back on the shelf.
"In the eyes of all my beloved ministers, the white-named crane may be crazy. But I know that he is very rational and very calmly made a detailed plan. The world of Ming Dynasty is mine, and I know that Baiminghe has some secrets. I asked Baiminghe, and Baiminghe told me the eight numbers truthfully, saying that these eight numbers are all the secrets of him as a citizen of Ming Dynasty. I came to his study to see what these eight numbers represent. Let's start looking for it, what damage is my."
Is the white-famous crane drunk?
He knew that Emperor Ming went to his study when he was a little drunk.
The Ming Dynasty is so big, Bai Minghe knew clearly that the only thing he could hide was the one in his heart, and the rest could not be hidden because this is the Ming Dynasty. A Ming Dynasty that cannot be secret for him can no substance. (To be continued...)
