The white-famous crane was blocked from the door, thinking that they were all husband and wife, would they avoid this?
Besides, there are only one and a half men in the backyard. I count one by myself, and Zhu Jianshen can only count half of them.
Just as Bai Minghe was about to knock on the door again, Sun Yuanjun's voice came from the door: "Husband, it's not convenient for me, so why not go to the Qinghe girl's room to rest at night."
Qinghe's face turned red suddenly, and her hands pressed against the door also relaxed.
Bai Minghe was very angry and slapped the door hard: "Nothing is wrong, people are not goods. I went back to the study to sleep." After walking two steps, he turned back and said, "Those, remember to change them every day, and throw them away after using them." After that, Bai Minghe left with great strides.
Qinghe's face was already flushed, half of it was expecting, but the other side was joy.
Isn’t it worthy of being respected?
In another room, Zhu Jianshen, who was cleaning his desk by himself, suddenly said, "If my aunt doesn't take the initiative, then Aunt Qinghe will take the lead."
Huaiyu was shocked. This little thing was only five years old and was so slippery. After coming to his senses, Huaiyu's face was definitely redder than Qinghe's. He raised his hand and wanted to beat Zhu Jianshen. The little guy was so scared that he hugged his head and ran away. After catching up with Bai Minghe, he looked aggrieved: "Auntie wants to hit me."
"Let's go eat grilled fish!" Bai Minghe knew why Huaiyu wanted to beat Zhu Jianshen.
This problem gave Bai Minghe a headache, which can be said to be extremely headache. Huaiyu's identity is definitely not ordinary, otherwise it would be impossible for the three eunuchs to come to him personally. Moreover, Bai Minghe also knew that to a certain extent, Bai Minghe wanted to choose to escape.
Grilled fish, there are not so many seasonings and not much salt, but Zhu Jianshen was very happy to eat it.
Three days later, representatives from all villages and towns in Hepu County were sent. What surprised Bai Minghe was that only one-third were elderly people, and most of them were middle-aged people in their forties. There were actually two young people, one of them was a woman.
Those who can be selected by each village are naturally trusted by each village.
A strong man saw Bai Minghe without saying anything. He first came over and kowtowed three times. An old man explained to Bai Minghe: "Mr. County Zun saved his younger brother and saved many people in our village. The old man also kowtowed to Mr. County Zun."
"I'm not asking you to thank me for yourselves, but for the important things."
"As soon as the county master ordered everything!"
"Close the door!" Bai Minghe said, and turned around and walked towards the middle of the main hall. More than twenty soldiers ran in from outside, and then looked outside the door, at least forty people were surrounding him.
Bai Minghe sat down and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just that what I said is very important and cannot be spread."
Ordinary people have seen this posture and they all kneel on the ground.
All those who came in were officers, and the lowest one was also a small Jinyiwei flag. No matter how low the level was, they were not qualified to come in.
Four small flagships carried some mats and distributed them to everyone.
There were only ten people who could sit on the chair, and the rest, both officers and the people, were sitting on the ground. Du Shuangyu then came in from outside the door: "Mr. Bai, both his own people inside and outside, and no one even came to the lower-class guards of the royal palace."
There is no regular guard in the Yi Palace. Those inferior guards are not regular soldiers, but can only be said to be civilians holding weapons.
Bai Minghe cleared his throat: "Who will spread the story today? There is only one result. I, Bai Minghe, will kill people. Of course, I, Bai Minghe, are just a scholar, and I can't do bloody things like killing people." Bai Minghe was just talking, when Wu Bin suddenly jumped up and cut the small table next to him into half with a knife.
"What are you doing?" The white-known crane was shocked, and the people were even more scared and trembled.
"Tell them, my knife is not bad!" Wu Bin's attitude was to demonstrate.
Bai Minghe smiled helplessly and immediately went straight to the topic: "In the pearl pond, all the pearls are born from heaven and earth. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer pearls in the pearl pond. Therefore, I plan to raise pearls by myself. This pearl is divided into two types: full beads and floating beads."
Everyone was stunned. Pearl, a thing that was born with, could be raised by itself.
You know, picking up ten bead clams from the sea may not necessarily see a pearl.
Bai Minghe ignored the surprised reactions of these people and just said: "This whole bead focuses on two summers and one winter. The longest cannot exceed three years, otherwise the bead will be dull. This floating bead can only be regarded as a second-rate product. It takes 160 to 200 days to produce. In terms of size, it is at least one point, and the largest possibility is three points."
Three points really scare people. Three points are the 0.9 centimeters of later generations.
In the Ming Dynasty, large-scale production of pearls of this size would be scary.
"This job is divided into two parts. One is to raise clams and the other is to raise pearls. But we don't have much time at the moment, so the first batch of clams need to be taken out to catch them. They also need clam shells, the more the better. Finally, we choose a place."
"What the lord said seriously?" An old man was a little suspicious.
Wu Bin didn't return the knife just now. Someone would suspect Bai Minghe and immediately put the knife on it. "Do you dare to doubt Lord Bai."
"Don't do it nonsense, but I can do it when I say it. In this Hepu, if I let go of the whole thing, tens of thousands of kilograms of pearls a year will not be a problem. The high-quality one can also have tens of thousands of kilograms, so you don't have to doubt it, just do it according to the requirements of my official. But..."
When Bai Minghe couldn't say it, everyone became nervous.
"Next, how to keep this secret. Shen Baihu, Du Baihu, Yang Baihu. This is your job. If you can keep this secret, Hepu is a golden mountain. If you can't keep it, you will have nothing. Although someone knew this kind of pearl technique in the Song Dynasty, I have more clever methods."
Bai Minghe said it is right. The earliest pearl breeding in China was in the Song Dynasty.
But at that time, it was just freshwater pearls, and their technology was very backward, and the bead output rate of high-quality pearls was less than one percent.
"The income of this Zhuchi Lake can be divided into 10% of the villages participating in it. All the soldiers are divided into half a share. The real big official dares not take it. This is long live. Of course, a part of it will be left behind. The necessary filial piety on the ground in Guangdong cannot be lost. Each year, one person has no less than twenty taels of income, and the rest will be calculated based on the annual income. Even if it loses, it is my official who recognizes it. The twenty taels of guarantee will not be lost. "
Bai Minghe said, picking up the paper and writing a contract. Then there was a confidentiality agreement.
When Bai Minghe was looking for the red ink mud, Wu Bin had already cut his finger and pressed a handprint with blood: "My brother Bai always counts when speaking. I was the first to press the handprint. If I didn't keep this secret, I would cut me down."
"Mr. Bai, there is only one difficulty to keep this secret?" Yang Xin reminded: "On the side of Commander Mao, we will block the road and prohibit the passage. The prefect can block the yamen of the prefect, and the governor's yamen of the prefect can also block it. But only Commander Mao cannot block it, so the adults must be prepared!"
"Don't worry, when I gave Lord Yu Qian million stones of food at the end of the year, Commander Mao was our group."
The white-famous crane is full of confidence.
"Since Lord Bai, you have thought carefully, we brothers will follow you to the death." Yang Xin also understood that this was a damn money tree. Now he understood why Bai Minghe must build a county government office. Even if Bai Minghe doesn't become a county magistrate here, his next person will definitely be his. Otherwise, he will definitely be a dead person.
When the profit is as big as hundreds of thousands of dollars a year or million taels of silver, whoever dares to stick to will die.
What's more, Bai Minghe is too smart. Long live the big head of all industries. Whoever moves is to grab food in the bowl of the Ming Emperor. Even if Bai Minghe doesn't fight back, Dongchang will dare to kill his whole family.
Starting from the first time Wu Bin pressed the blood handprint, no one present used the ink paste and pressed the blood handprint the same way.
The contract is just a piece of paper. What can really be restrained by everyone is the community of interests. The last one to press the handprint was Jin Jie. His trembling hand was not sure whether he was afraid or excited.
He is in the palace and knows the value of pearls more than anyone else.
Especially pearls that reach a diameter of three minutes, what does it mean?
After putting away the contract, Bai Minghe sat back: "Now, start allocating anything. If anyone thinks that the distribution of his official is unreasonable, he will raise it. Or if he thinks that his ability is not enough, he will also raise it."
The hall immediately became quiet.
"For the first task, I need to find a pearl pond or several pearl ponds, but the distance cannot be too far. If it is too far, there is no contact with each other before, so it is difficult to protect. The requirement of this pearl pond is that it must be calm and the tide is full of live water. The beads and clams cannot be raised together. This task will be taken by the village!"
Baiminghe said that the village refers to the people of Zhuren. The word "village" is used to represent it, which is also the respect of Baiminghe for these people.
At that moment, a strong man stood up: "Don't worry, sir, we will choose three to five places on the beach in the county, and finally the sir will decide."
"Next, we will select fifty girls who are skillful in pearl raising, five old men and thirty pearl workers. This is for Zhuchi, and the outside world is responsible for the attack, and another hundred people are required. This is the first batch of personnel. After the official trains these, the old will lead the new and increase the number of people four times. The village is responsible for selecting people, and Du Shuangyu is responsible for the review. There cannot be any mistakes in this matter. Old villagers account for 60%, and new villagers account for 40%. New villagers do not enter the inner field!"
"Sir!"
"You can build tools, Yang Xin, and if there are blacksmiths in the army, you must use high-quality fine iron. If the materials are not enough, no matter how much you spend, you will have to buy them back."
"Yes!" Yang Xin got up and clasped his fists.
"The next step is also the most difficult and hardest life. We need live clams, a large number of live clams, and a large number of clam shells. This will take the village to work hard."
Chapter completed!
