Yu Qian understands Bai Minghe's thoughts.

But Yu Qian's thoughts, Bai Minghe did not understand this time. Yu Qian understood Bai Minghe's approach, which was to protect the lives of the Ming soldiers. But Bai Minghe had thought about the face of the Ming Dynasty? Let the soldiers of the Ming vassal state go first, if they are defeated. What if you lose the face of the Ming Dynasty, it will also make the soldiers of the vassal state doubt the military order.

A great country must have the demeanor of a great country. Yu Qian does not want to discuss this with Bai Minghe for the time being, after all, the war is still a bit far away.

Two days later, the white-famous crane held a banquet.

It was said to be a banquet, but not many people actually had dinner in the hall. The list was helped by Zhang Feng from Nanjing's Ministry of Rites. The honors of Nanjing, princes from various provinces, officials of level, merchant gangs, Xingshouyuan, folk academies, and famous scholars in Jiangnan, were set at 99 people.

Outside the main entrance of Baima Pavilion, there is an undeveloped wasteland. It was originally planned to build two streets here, just like the one outside Chunhui Garden in Guangdong, where various merchants display goods and talk to each other.

The difference here is from Guangdong in that two new yamen have been added here.

One is the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue Anti-smuggling Department, and the other is the Nanjing Ministry of Justice Chengshang Department.

Just on this open space, a flowing mat was set up. As long as you sit down, you will definitely have a meal.

Top figures such as Gao Gu, Yu Qian, Xu Chengzong, and Sun Yuanzhen sat in the attic of Baima Pavilion, watching the bustle in the park from afar and the noise outside the door.

"Longsui mentioned that when Bai Minghe went south, Longsui made a statement from Bai Minghe, that is, if Bai Minghe really could really earn money back from Qianhe and give me a million stone of grain to his official, 30% of the income he earned would be given to Bai Minghe." Yu Qian said slowly with a glass of wine.

At that moment, there were several sounds of wine glasses falling to the ground.

Xu Chengzong's eyes were widened in shock: "30%!"

"It's 30%, Long Sui said this. But Bai Minghe did not accept the order, and only said that everything is from Long Sui and the Ming Dynasty. Long Sui was remembered for his hard work, and rewarded him with a hundred percent, one thousandth of the reward was his Bai Minghe's blessing. Long Sui recorded this matter in the ten thousand years of the palace, and there was an official present at that time."

How many one thousandths are there? How many one thousandths are there?

No one present could calculate it.

Yu Qian pointed out the window and said, "Although Bai Minghe did not hand over the silver to Jin Lian, he handed over the account book. Everyone knows that Bai Minghe has two accounts, and the one that is for Long Live is the consecration in the palace. There are clear accounts outside of the normal income, and there are also small accounts under the big accounts, just like eating and drinking in front of you."

Speaking of this, Yu Qian smiled helplessly: "I borrowed the words of Long Live. When I entered the tier, I said that the city banquet was very expensive during the New Year. Originally, I thought that Baiminghe worked hard and giving 30% was also a kindness. But now it seems that Baiminghe is not greedy, and the proportion of one percent is very small, but Baiminghe actually did not even take one thousandth of it. He is a loyal and righteous person!"

"How many percent is?" Xu Chengzong asked.

Yu Qian replied: "Jin Lian said that the New Year's banquet will be held every day, and then connect to Nanjing, Guangzhou, Xi'an Prefectures, or find three or five more prefectures. Last year, Baiminghe may not be able to do it. But this year, two or three years later, Baiminghe will not only spend his money no matter what. Baiminghe is like this official, and he has no place to spend money even if he has money!"

Yu Qian has nowhere to spend money because he is used to being frugal.

Baiminghe is not a wasteful person, nor has he pursued any luxury. More importantly, his money is really a lot, so much that Baiminghe dares not spend money even if he has money.

Gao Gu said at this time: "The white-known crane is very good at being a human being. You Yu Qian has arrived. All officials in Nanjing are here. So, looking at the ceremony outside the door is enough to prove how good at being a human being."

"The court is reasonable!" Yu Qian agreed with Gao Gu's words.

What's the ceremonial room?

There are piles of wedding cakes, wedding noodles, and local snacks, some are a jar of wine, some are a piece of bacon or a small bag of salt. The people who can give gifts here are not poor people. There are thousands of shops recorded alone, including workshops, many weavers, craftsmen, and shop owners all benefit from the new policy of the white-famous crane and have festive gifts.

The largest workshop is Nanjing Qianxiangfang.

It was jointly ventured by more than 40 companies, with over 5,000 craftsmen, and it is said that it can produce 999 spices. Its annual output is comparable to the spice production in the previous year of the Ming Dynasty.

In such a large workshop, the gifts to Bai Minghe are a box of cakes, a pack of noodles, a box of candy, and a very ordinary four treasures in the study. This is all the gifts. In Nanjing City, such gifts are even spent half a tael of silver, at most two cents.

"Yes, they are taking into account the reputation of Baiming He. If Baiming He receives valuable gifts, they may have a bad reputation. At such an open banquet, precious gifts will never be given. It is possible that the people can do this in unison, which proves that Baiming He is very good at being a good person." Yu Qian also praised.

Gao Gu changed the topic at this time: "Sir Yu, why are you here in Nanjing?"

"For the sake of Hami Guard, it is necessary to make Bai Minghe sacrifice some interests. At present, almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that Bai Minghe made money by trade on the sea and was quick and easy. But the bitter and cold land of Hami Guard is far from comparable to that on the sea. It is said that Bai Minghe sacrifices some interests, or it can be said that he made his entire circle of earning money and make certain sacrifices."

Xu Chengzong laughed dryly.

Xu Chengzong smiled, and many officials from Nanjing and several princes also laughed.

"Hami Guard is a national policy and an important matter. Can't I convince Bai Minghe?" Yu Qian thought that these people laughed because they might have run away in vain, because they were the interests of major merchant gangs and many people in Jiangnan. If they could not earn money, even Bai Minghe would be in a dilemma and could not face these people.

However, Yu Qian believes in the influence of Bai Minghe in front of these people.

"It's not that I, Lao Xu, dares to laugh at the inappropriate national policy, but that's laughing. It's rumored that Bai Ming He was your teacher, Yu Qian. But Yu Qian, you are not as good as Lao Xu, who knows Bai Ming He. That's a person who can turn gold out of stones, let alone Hami Wei, even in the bitter and cold place, the same is true."

Yu Qian was puzzled.

Xu Chengzong told Yu Qian a story.

"Some time ago, when I was in the Upper Garden of Xuanwu Lake, Lao Xu made a joke and asked Bai Minghe that there was no business in the world? Bai Minghe said that there was only difficult and easy to do, but there was no way to do it. Lao Xu pointed to a place casually, and Bai Minghe said immediately that there was a treasure there, worth millions of stones of gold. But the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to use that treasure, and there was no way to make the treasure a treasure. There was no use, so how could it be used."

"Where?" Yu Qian asked.

"There are truly poor mountains and rivers on the border between Duohuotati tribe and Daming." When Xu Chengzong mentioned this, no one believed that there would be treasures there, and it was treasures worth millions of stones of gold.

In modern times, this place is the north of Kunlun Mountain and the south line of the Tarim Desert. There were several garrisons here in the Ming Dynasty, which were not just poor. There was no way to survive. In the end, the locals were granted the title, and the locals were guarding the border. And here, even foreign countries were not interested in starting, too poor or too hard.

"What's there?" Yu Qian asked again.

"I don't know, Bai Minghe's answer at that time was. No one understood what he said, and no one could use it. Even if he came in front of him, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to use it now. Of course, if it could be used in fifty years, it would definitely be worth millions of stones of gold." Xu Chengzong's tone was full of trust when he said this.

Yu Qian thought about it and asked again: "Where is Hami Guard?"

"I know what is the most valuable business in Nanjing?" Xu Chengzong did not answer Yu Qian, but asked back.

Yu Qian naturally didn't know.

Xu Chengzong did not keep it a secret and explained: "The business gangs from all over the world have offered a high price of 10,000 taels of gold. He only asked for a word from Baiminghe, and only asked their business gang what they should do."

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Yes, the matter comes from Xie Yiyuan. A nephew of his family is 23 years old this year and has just started his army. According to the rules of the Xie family, he has to have three years to work to temper his temperament and accumulate experience." The person who spoke was Xiao Wei of Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. Because he was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he had dealt with these big businessmen in the past.

Yu Qian heard the truth and asked Xiao Yu to continue.

"The child followed Xie Yiyuan to Guangzhou City. When he saw Bai Minghe, he performed a ceremony for his younger generation. He kowtowed and according to the rules of the first meeting, Bai Minghe should have a red envelope. Not to mention his twenty-three and Bai Minghe twenty, he was involved in the matter. He only said that Bai Minghe was very evasive of kneeling rituals, so Xie Yiyuan's nephew didn't want anything, and only asked for one sentence, which was to show him a way to do it well in the past three years."

"What do you think of the white-famous crane?" Many people became interested.

"Bai Minghe said that he would go back and summon some craftsmen, not require master craftsmen, just careful ordinary craftsmen. When he went back, he would only do the same business. Now he would store a large amount of goods first. One day, these goods would make him a big splash. The goods were very ordinary, one was the shaft of the yarn machine and the loom, the second was the spindle rod, the third was the thick cloth gloves, the fourth was the hat that could completely cover his hair with cheap use, and the fifth was the tight-mouthed clothes that would wear back."

The shaft of the yarn machine is easy to understand. If there are too many yarn machine looms in Huishang, the shaft naturally needs to be replaced regularly.

There are ready-made ones now, so you can change them on the spot and work more. This business is good.

But what about the rest?
