The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

He was naturally satisfied, and indeed wanted to wait until Bai Zhaozhao's coming-of-age ceremony before making a decision. For this reason, he even asked his sister to go to the ceremony to sound out the situation!

Unexpectedly, after his sister came back, she said that Bai Zhaozhao liked men who were love-minded and she was not suitable for him!

What she didn't expect was that she would become the adopted daughter of Princess An! In this case, the marriage was no longer decided by the Bai family.

Originally they were a good match, but now they are not. Fortunately, he did not really fall in love with Bai Zhaozhao, so he can just change his mind in time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiyi was more open-minded: "Father, there is no need to be so regretful. As long as our interests are tied together with the Bai family's, it will not be easily broken. Besides, there are many people in the Bai family, and there are plenty of people who want to form an alliance."

"Not bad!" Zhang Tongzhi nodded with satisfaction. "I remember that Bai Jingli has a son who is still unengaged. I'll go check it out later."

White House.

Bai Shikang was confused after hearing what Bai Zhaozhao said: "Our Baiji also produces plasters? How come I didn't know about it?"

Bai Shihong looked at him with disdain: "Baiji has always been managed by Shijian, how would you know that?"

Bai Shijian is the name of Bai Shikang's second brother.

Bai Zhaozhao said: "It seems that the workshop in the capital city needs to speed up its progress. I think Mr. Li means the faster the better!"

Bai Shihong comforted him, "Don't worry, your fourth grandfather has already found a lot of people to help. In a few days, we will go to the Zhang family to discuss cooperation. Zhao Zhao just rest assured."

Bai Zhaozhao nodded, and when she returned to Showa Garden, she finally couldn't help but shout to the sky: "What's your name?"

Dazhongge did not show up, only a calm voice came: "Zhang Qian."

"Zhang Qian." Bai Zhaozhao recalled carefully and confirmed that he had not seen this name in the original work. He should be an unknown person, right?

"Who asked you to monitor, um, protect me?"

"King An."

Bai Zhaozhao was confused again. Not a princess? But it didn't seem to make any difference. But Prince An treated her so well even though he had never met her? Was that reasonable?

"Why did Prince An protect me?"

"do not know."

"Okay, so how's your martial arts?"

"Better than you."

“……”It hurts.

Bai Zhaozhao snorted: "So what if you are good at martial arts? Aren't you still a secret guard?"

"It is true that I am a martial arts expert. There are few people in the world who can rival me. As for being a secret guard, it is because I lost a bet with Prince An."

"...What kind of bet?"

"Nothing to do with you."

Oh, he's still a cold person.

The next day.

Bai Shijian, who was outside the city, rushed back overnight after receiving the news and went to Showa Garden early in the morning.

Bai Zhaozhao, who was practicing martial arts, saw his excited look and immediately poured cold water on him: "Uncle San, can this plaster be sold for three cents?"

Bai Shijian, who thought he was about to make a lot of money: ...

"Zhao Zhao, you probably don't know that although you gave me the method of growing Tianxin grass, our current production is still not much. In addition to the labor costs of various aspects, the cost of this plaster is two cents per plaster, plus some losses, it is almost two and a half cents. Selling it to Jishitang is ten cents, and they sell it for twenty cents. Even so, the supply still cannot meet the demand. We are being kind and righteous if we don't raise the price!"

Bai Zhaozhao nodded, but there was nothing he could do as the Northwest Army was in real trouble.

"Uncle San, what I mean is that we should ensure small profits but quick turnover. Even if we only make half a cent from each patch, if we produce 100,000 patches a day, we will still make a lot of money!"

"One hundred thousand posts a day? That's so many?"

"Yes, I will find a way to make up for the insufficient Tianxin grass. You just need to increase the production. The ones that Jishiditang cannot consume can be given to Fourth Grandfather's caravan to sell to others. They won't have trouble selling them. Of course, this part can be sold for ten cents."

Bai Shijian took a deep breath and said, "Does your father know about this idea?"

In fact, Bai Shijian had already calculated before coming here. There are about 300,000 Northwest Army soldiers, and five applications of ointment per person per month would be enough, as they don't get injured every month.

So in his opinion, he would make a fortune if he could post 50,000 posts a day, but his niece gave him a big trick.

"Of course I know this idea!" Bai Shihong and Bai Shikang also came to Showa Garden.

Bai Shihong smiled and said, "Third brother, think about it, this opportunity of ours is not for making a lot of money, but for earning fame and a future! With these, are you still afraid of not being able to make money in the future?"

Bai Shijian was a little dazed: "That's true, but this medicine is so effective that Jishitang is already highly praised for selling it for 20 cents a piece. Even if we sell it for 7 or 8 cents, we can still earn a reputation."

Bai Shikang glanced at Bai Zhaozhao and said earnestly, "That's true, but fame and money can never go hand in hand. Over time, the more money we make, the more vulnerable we are to attack. There are many jealous people in the court, so we must set a low price for this medicine.

We can still earn three cents from hard work. Others don't have the method of growing Tianxin grass. Even if they make the same medicine, it will cost four or five cents. This is our effective means to refute the attack in the future and make Baiji invincible. "

Bai Shijian understood: "Okay, I'll go and recruit more people right away."

Bai Zhaozhao knew that Bai Shikang only described the worst possible outcome and the truth was not that serious at all. He just wanted to fulfill his own wish.

In fact, the original book did not mention the Northwest Army too much. It only said that the Ministry of Households would reduce military expenses for three consecutive years. Even if Li Rongyue provided subsidies everywhere, the Northwest Army still had to tighten its belt, not to mention medicine for injuries.

Also that year, the Xie family army on the southeastern border was almost defeated due to the rainstorm. Many envoys from small countries took the opportunity to visit the Tianyuan Dynasty and ask for money and property.

The imperial court had difficulty in responding and could only delay time. The entire Tianyuan fell into a precarious state. Later, Cheng Jiayu united some new forces, suppressed the provocations of envoys from various countries, and raised a large amount of funds to supplement the army, making great contributions.

Of course, such achievements were paved with countless blood and sacrifices. Cheng Jiayu also gained the support of many military generals and nobles, and was the most powerful person in the court for a while.

In the end, the emperor granted the princess a marriage, and the original owner died tragically.

Therefore, Bai Zhaozhao hoped to help the Northwest Army and the Xie Family Army overcome difficulties and avoid casualties from the very beginning.

A three-cent medicine for wounds, I believe that as long as Li Rongyue is not stupid, he should know how to operate it to maximize the benefits.

Zhong Mansion.

Li Rongyue was so angry after receiving the carrier pigeon that she broke the teacup in her hand.

Prefect Zhong asked, "Why, what did the letter say?"

"It is said that the court intends to reduce the expenditure on military supplies, and the subsidy for wound medicine has been reduced from 200 coins per person per month to 100 coins! In the past, the medicinal materials were not enough, and I thought I was lucky to find Baiji wound medicine, but this year it was reduced by half. How can I explain this to the soldiers?"

"One hundred coins!" Prefect Zhong was shocked. "Even for ordinary people, a disease would cost more than a hundred coins, not to mention the soldiers who risked their lives! How could the emperor agree to such an arrangement?"
