How many years have you not been home? How many impressions do you still have about that home? Bai Minghe doesn’t remember it. Anyway, he didn’t have much memory. But it is always a home, the belonging of a heart.
Special train, this noun is very special, especially a kind of power. The white-name crane does not want it, but cannot do it.
The fifth-rank official, Bai Minghe, an internal clerk of the Ming Dynasty... The fifth-rank official!
When I saw this telegram, everyone in the Shaanxi Provincial Administration Office seemed to be frozen directly by zero or one hundred. The fifth rank is only the fifth rank. What a big official. Of course, this is no longer a small official for ordinary people, but for the General Secretary, it is a small official.
However, after the fifth grade, the word "White Name Crane" was added, the taste changed.
"Go to him, the fifth rank!" Zuo Gongsun threw the telegram and pointed at the person below and said, "Come to come to the capital, you must first go to Xuzhou and then go west. Bai Minghe's car must be given way to all the trains, so you can go to Xi'an Prefecture Station in at most two days and two nights, telling the Xi'an Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture to think about what he wants."
What to do, what else can I do, just welcome it.
"You and I will go to welcome you and I personally. Not to mention the welcome of Baiminghe, but only the two princesses and an empress. After all, the railway from Xi'an Prefecture to Hanzhong is not nodding, and we cannot save it by Shaanxi. Not to mention that we consume so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources, you can't even make up enough steel." The right governor said next to him.
Before the Zuo Gongshu could speak, a psychic said, "Two lords, the Dusi Yamen will definitely welcome you. The Baiminghe and the military officers are very good. The Shaanxi Dusi has been in charge of railways over the years, and the silver is visible. Moreover, the Dusi Yamen advocates the construction of the railway north first."
"Okay, go and welcome." The Left Governor had no choice but to refuse.
Depending on this situation, most of the yamen are ready to welcome it. But this scale cannot be too large. Just arrange the chief officer, and forget about the rest of the officials.
The banner of Bai Minghe was to go home to visit his relatives, and he only stayed at home for four days. These four days were still a day of continuous arrival, which was only three nights. You should know that there was a cement that lasted more than 400 miles west of Xi'an Prefecture. This road was particularly bent at halfway through. It was only less than five miles away from the Bai family mansion in Guanzhong.
Then a small road was built in the five miles and directly to the entrance of the Bai family mansion in Guanzhong.
With the train, the lives of the Ming people changed. It only took two days and two nights from Shaanxi to Beijing. This was something I could not imagine before, and it represented a faster pace.
Two days later, the special train of Baiming Crane arrived.
Bai Minghe got off the car first and let the people who greeted him see it. Everyone was surprised. Bai Minghe was dressed too strangely, and his hair was short, only one inch long. He was wearing a pair of tight linen pants, and then a cotton short robe was tied into his pants, and his feet were wearing a pair of black leather shoes.
"Dear sirs, the white-known crane is polite here." After getting off the train, the white-known crane gave a long gift.
"Don't be nonsense, you should save money on this kind of fake one. You will go home later. I don't know if your old lady in Bai family will beat you, but your mother will definitely cry." The Shaanxi governor laughed and greeted her.
Bai Minghe also smiled: "Overseas, it is easier to live if you wear it lighter. You should know that if your hair is wrapped around a cable on the boat, it will be fatal. The soldiers in the South China Sea have cut their hair short, and who can bear the sweat every day. This clothes are much easier, and I am no longer used to wearing a long gown."
"It doesn't matter how clothes are. I won't punish you anyway, no one can say anything about you."
After wanting to greet several officials, Bai Minghe signaled his family to go back to Bai Mansion first and go to the yamen to chat.
But the officials were unwilling to salute the two princesses and one queen, which was considered a welcome. Although there was no need to kneel down, they believed that the greeting ceremony could not be saved.
Bai Minghe was not polite when he didn't enter the yamen of the governor's office. He sat directly in the main seat, and Wang Cheng stood beside him.
"In a word, in order to go west or south, I have read relevant documents on the train. In my opinion, go south. The reason is very simple. If you push Shu Road, this is a must-do. Once Shu Road is turned, then the southwest will not be a poor place in the future, and it is easier to deal with it."
The white-famous crane's straightforwardness made the officials present feel nothing unaware of.
After all, even if they haven't dealt with Bai Minghe, they have heard of Bai Minghe doing things. It's simple and direct.
If you can do it, if you don’t, it’s not possible. You won’t go around so many circles, and even if you don’t, I’ll give you a reason.
The white-known crane took out a simple sketch and put it on the table.
"Dear sirs, this is my opinion to the Ministry of Works. First, build the main road, with east and west, north and south as the main line, first protect the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and then expand. The capital city goes to Lanzhou, Xi'an goes to Lanzhou, Lanzhou goes to Hami, Hami goes to Tulupan. To the north, it goes to the capital city goes to Shenyang, Shenyang..."
The white-famous crane talked about the lines on the map one by one.
Strictly speaking, the Ming Dynasty was divided into five stages and completed these railways in a period of fifteen years.
The first step is the main line, the second step is the strategic line, and the third step is the capital line, which is to connect all provincial governments in the Ming Dynasty. Then the fourth step is the branch line of important commercial prefectures, and then the branch line of all prefectures in the Ming Dynasty. With the plan of fifteen years, the construction of railways within the Ming Dynasty will be initially completed.
"Well, I guess this is recognized by Master Yu, and our Shaanxi Dusi has nothing to say."
Shaanxi Dusi wanted to fight for the railway from here to the west, which was of great strategic significance for Xijing, which was designated as one of the five capitals. Otherwise, what would Xijing do?
"Everyone, I'm not here for official business, nor for official business when I return to Nanjing. Now that I have done my job, I, Bai Minghe, can be said to be ruthless and I am temporarily idle. There are still some small things to deal with, and I will talk about them after I've finished it."
The white-famous crane is still young, so he has the desire to retreat?
Several officials looked at each other, but they didn't believe Bai Minghe's words, and of course they didn't believe them all.
"Well, you're afraid of trouble. Anyway, it's very convenient to have a Tianji now. Unlike before, I don't know what happened. I'm going to hand over a copy of the memorial, and there will definitely be no reply in a few months. Now I can hand over the memorial once a day and ask about the situation of major events. It's much better than before."
Only those who are willing to do things will have this idea.
For some slow-tempered officials, they suddenly realized that their pace of life was too fast. This made many people unable to stand it.
"White-known He, I heard that Tianyin Ji had the idea to open it to the public and allow it to be used to convey letters from home."
"I really don't know. No one told me about this, but it seems like a good thing. Actually, I am so happy to go home this time. I have been going to sea for two years, and I want to go home quickly now."
No more stays, and the white-famous crane wants to go home to achieve filial piety, and no one can stop him.
After Bai Minghe left, Zuo Gongshu said: "Bai Minghe is afraid that he doesn't want to care about these chores anymore, otherwise why would he leave Beijing in a hurry if the cabinet re-election this time?"
"The white-famous crane itself is not suitable for the officialdom, he is too straightforward." The Shaanxi admiral also said.
Only the censor said: "The White-Minned He is afraid of being a master with great merits, and he is carrying a Byzantine Prince on his back. Don't underestimate this identity. To be too small, it is also an ally recognized by our Ming Dynasty. To be too large, he is the overlord of Europe. Some people say that the White-Minned He is a loyal minister. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it."
"Why?" several people asked.
"What he is loyal to is the Han family, his innocent heart...
I can't say anything anymore, but if I continue speaking, I will cross the red line. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not promote literary inquisition, which is a hundred times better than the Qing Dynasty.
However, the Shaanxi Governor said: "If the white-famous crane was born two or three hundred years earlier, it would be really interesting."
People around him looked at him and thought to himself that you are crazy, you dare to say such words. Bai Minghe had been born two or three hundred years ago, and he would probably torture the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to the point of going crazy. There will be the current Ming Dynasty there, and this sentence has already crossed the red line.
No one dared to pay attention to the governor of Shaanxi anymore and said goodbye one after another.
On the other hand, Bai Minghe rode back to the Bai family mansion in Guanzhong. In the Ming Dynasty, merchants had merchants' houses, and first-rank officials naturally had first-rank officials. The Bai family mansion was not considered an offense, but was given as the Bai Minghe Earl, which was about five times larger than before.
In front of the huge archway of a steel and concrete building with three feet high, Bai Minghe kowtowed three respectfully.
In front of Bai's War God Temple, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, kowtowed three times.
Then in front of the Bai family's mansion, Bai Minghe kowtowed three times and shouted: "The Bai family is not a child, Bai Minghe..." Then there was a three-hundred-word speech, which was written by Qinghe for him. This is the rule of the wealthy family and a kind of ritual, because Bai Minghe has been away from home for three years and has no news.
The old lady of the Bai family and Bai Minghe's grandmother sat in the main hall with a smile on her face, waiting for Bai Minghe to enter the house and kowtow to her.
Bai Minghe's mother sat aside and wiped her tears.
In the Bai family's main hall, the arrangement of this seat made the Bai family very embarrassed. Finally, two chairs were placed on it, one for Bai Minghe's grandmother, the person with the highest generation in the Bai family. Then the other was given to Anqiya.
Why? This is the emperor, the Byzantine Emperor. Who dares to let an emperor sit in the lower head? Even if you respect the elderly, you will not be able to. Angela refuses again, and the old lady will kneel down to her.
Bai Minghe was confused and didn't know how to show his tribute. According to the rules, he would kowtow to grandma, but what is it that you are sitting next to you? Are you not afraid of losing your life? Bai Minghe stretched out his hand and said, "Anqia, come and kowtow to grandma with me!"
Hearing this, the old lady Bai's face sank down, and she hit her head with a stick. She scolded her while beating: "You kid, do you understand the rules? Let Long Live kowtow to me, the old lady. You are not afraid that I will be struck by lightning immediately." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
