In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

"If he doesn't bring enough medicine, how can he go to Liangzhou?!"

Then she asked with concern, "I took a look at his jade porcelain bottle before, and there wasn't much medicine left..."

"Yes, so the young master has brought all the medicine."

The maid below answered truthfully.

That's good.

There was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

She smiled.

Brother... I'm really sorry.

You are sick and can't protect me, so you might as well die on the road.

She had poisoned the medicine. Her elder brother would probably fall ill soon after taking it. Coupled with the bumpy road, he would soon die on the road.

If anyone asks, I will naturally say...he died in Liangzhou Prefecture.

Liangzhou Prefecture is poor and has bad mountains and rivers. It's normal for him to die there, right?

By then, even if Bai's father was panicked and the queen was furious, there would be nothing they could do.

Originally, she didn't want to kill her elder brother, but that adult told her...she must kill her elder brother Bai Chuyao.

Otherwise, she would not be allowed to continue to be the Princess Mingzhu.

That won’t work, she must be a princess.

......

These days, Bai Lu and the children stayed at home obediently and did not go out.

The guards left behind by Bai Qingze were also very efficient. After they brought the news to Madam Luo, they immediately took her back to the Bai family.

When she saw Madam Luo, Bai Lu almost cried for joy.

She quickly hugged Mrs. Luo and cried, "I was so scared, I almost thought...you would never come back from there."

"Yes, if my lady doesn't send someone over, I'm afraid I will really have to stay there alone and without help, and I won't be able to come back for a while."

"...If there are rebels in Liangzhou Prefecture, they will definitely not let us move around freely in private."

Madam Luo sighed, "But... we can't keep being so strict. Slowly... they should relax the road security. Let's find a chance to leave Liangzhou Prefecture."

"We can't stay in Liangzhou forever! It's too dangerous."

Bai Lu pulled her and sat in the main hall with Gu Liang and the others.

There were many people in the main hall.

Bai Lu sat in the first seat, with Madam Luo sitting next to her. Zhao Cuicui sat in another first seat, with Gu Liang sitting below her.

The six guards standing nearby were very anxious.

Grandpa Li brought them a bench and everyone sat down and sighed.

Leng Bingnian took the children back into the house to play.

Recently, the children have been worried and unable to eat. Their chubby little faces have become thinner.

Leng Bingnian saw it all and felt pain in his heart, so he was unwilling to tell them the bad news. He just told them: "You just stay at home and have fun recently."

"There's nothing bad about the troops in Liangzhou Prefecture. They won't do anything to us."

"......All right."

Although the seven children believed Leng Bingnian's words, they all felt a little irritated and ate less.

Leng Bingnian will be responsible for taking care of the children, so Bai Lu doesn't have to worry about it.

After Bai Lu knew that Leng Bingnian was helping her take care of the child, she felt like laughing... Leng Bingnian is really a little adult who can even help her take care of the child.

But it’s better this way. She was really anxious and angry taking care of seven children. Plus, her third brother had something to do... When Bai Lu thought of this, her face darkened.

Gu Liang saw that Bai Lu's face was not looking good, and he knew what she was thinking, so he comforted her, "Don't worry."

"I think Mr. Bai San... must be a lucky man who has good fortune."

Bai Lu nodded, sighed, and spoke slowly.

"Let's get together this time and talk about the next division of labor!"

"Next, Liangzhou Prefecture rebelled against the imperial court, so naturally we would send people to attack Liangzhou Prefecture."

"This kind of thing... has nothing to do with ordinary people like us. We ordinary people only care about two things."

"The first thing is that we may need to take out some silver and money. As long as we take out some silver and money, our house will not be robbed."

"After all, our family is rich, and the government will definitely try their best to please us and make us pay more."

"So before all the money is taken out, when our family has money, we can guarantee the safety of all of us, at least no one will die."

Everyone nodded, suddenly realizing.

Bai Lu continued, "The second thing is... I think your plan to leave Liangzhou is not feasible."

Bai Lu looked at them with clear eyes.

When they heard this, they were all stunned.

Mrs. Luo looked puzzled, "Why is this?"

Gu Liang also asked: "Why is this? Could it be... because the defense has been tighter in recent times?"

Bai Lu nodded and looked at Gu Liang with a smile, "Gu Liang, you are a scholar, you must understand these things."

"Why don't you think about why it is not feasible for us to leave Liangzhou recently."

At this time, Gu Liang tried his best to calm himself down.

It was the first time for him to experience such a serious matter, so he was very flustered.

Now he still needs Bai Lu's guidance, Gu Liang just feels a little ashamed. Did his performance disappoint Bai Lu?

After a while, he slowly said, "If Lady White hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have known."

"On the surface, Liangzhou Prefecture is full of dangers. We must try our best to leave Liangzhou Prefecture! But the people above will naturally know what the people below us think."

"They certainly won't let us... leave Liangzhou Prefecture so easily!"

"If we leave Liangzhou Prefecture, we might be in danger!"

Gu Liang's face was serious: "After all, the people in Liangzhou Prefecture know the situation in Liangzhou Prefecture! Maybe they will go to the court to inform us, so the government will definitely not let us leave here!"

"But the internal roads will also be open gradually. Otherwise, how can the economy of Liangzhou Prefecture develop? If the rebel leaders in Liangzhou Prefecture have some brains, they will know... It is absolutely impossible to keep all the people in Liangzhou Prefecture confined at home and not develop the economy."

"No one is planting the fields, no one is selling the grain, Liangzhou Prefecture is also abolished, and there is no point in rebelling."

Bai Lu nodded and said with a smile, "Besides, right now... it's still a good time for us to make a fortune!"

"What????"

When they heard this, they were all stunned.

Then, Bai Lu said without changing his expression.

"I thought about it for several nights before. I couldn't sleep because I was always worried about this and that. But then I thought, if Liangzhou rebelled, it would be a good thing."

"...Listen to my analysis."

Bai Lu said: "You know, everyone in Liangzhou is in a panic right now, so many shops are closed and people are staying indoors. But what will happen if this situation continues?"

"If the shops are closed, it's natural that business will plummet, so the shops will naturally go bankrupt. What can ordinary people do if they stay indoors? Of course, they don't have much food to eat. When they are clear-headed, they will find ways to beg for food."

"So, the chaos can only last for a period of time. After a while, they will encounter various difficulties, and it is very rare for them to stay indoors."

"And if we had woken up before this and started doing business, selling some daily necessities for the common people, we would have been able to make some money from it."

Bai Lu meant: if other shops were closed and not selling anything, then if their shop were selling things, they would make all the money.

The market is limited. Can one store selling the same product earn the same amount of money as ten stores selling the same product? Of course, they will not earn the same amount of money.

Before, Bailu and his friends sold milk tea... But with the current situation, it may not be possible anymore.

At least in the short term, selling milk tea may not make much money.

But if you sell some necessities, such as food like rice, flour, sugar, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, or even some cloth and cotton, it is better than anything else.

Moreover, they can also take the opportunity to acquire a large number of stores.

"..."

Gu Liang and the others couldn't help but gasp when they heard Bai Lu's bold words.

"But......"

"But White Lady..."

"Will this put you in danger?!"

Bai Lu smiled.

"That shouldn't happen. The people in Liangzhou Prefecture will definitely come to me to ask for money."

"Since I have money to give them, they will let me go."

"In that case, they also know that I have money in my pocket. I am a wealthy businessman, so they will definitely not do anything to me."

"If they do anything to me, I will destroy all the silver or hide it somewhere unknown. Then we will be in trouble!"

"Just rest assured!"

What does this mean? It means that if someone owes you 20 yuan, you will definitely ask him for money every day, day and night, and will not let him go.

But if someone owes you 200 million, you won't ask him for the money, but instead coax him, pamper him, care about whether he has eaten today, care about whether he has slept well tomorrow, and be afraid that he will suddenly commit suicide.

You know...if he died, then the two hundred million would be all wasted.

Therefore, whether a person can survive and live a wonderful life depends on his personal values.

This statement applies in any situation.

"..."

After listening to Bai Lu's words, Gu Liang was silent for a while.

He was somewhat shocked in his heart, Bai Lu was truly a business genius, a prodigy!

Mrs. Luo's eyes were also full of admiration.

"It's just that... it's too dangerous, White Lady. I'm a little worried about you."

"I'll come with you."

Bai Lu nodded and smiled, "Then just say you are my cousin. That way, they won't hurt you."

"I'll ask Master Gu Liang to go out and help with business or something."

"It's just right that you should prepare yourself."

"I still hope that the rebellion will be over soon."

Gu Liang sighed.

Bai Lu and his friends had a good idea. By the evening, Bai Lu had already figured out what business to start.

They plan to buy several rice shops at low prices.

While those people were still trying to figure out how to escape from Liangzhou City, she bought back all the rice shops in Lianhua Town at a low price.

This way, it will be of great use when the time comes.

Ordinary people in ancient times generally could not afford to eat rice. If they had rice, they would usually sell it or exchange it for other grains, such as black flour, coarse flour, coarse grains, corn, etc. ... and use these grains to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, if you stockpile rice during the Bailu period, you can exchange the rice for other grains and then sell them to the people. It is both food and hard currency.

If a war breaks out, food prices will inevitably rise sharply.

Everything else is secondary. As for the price of food, it is definitely the one that is rising the fastest.

They just take control of all the rice shops while others are not paying attention, so that even if others have rice, they have to sell it through their shops.

Or simply sell it to their store.

Nowadays, rice costs several cents per pound. It won’t even take half a month or ten days. In three days, the price of rice will double.

After another three days, it doubled again.

In ten days, the price might be more than three times higher.

The next day, Bai Lu asked Gu Liang to go out and purchase.

After he came back, he hurriedly said to Bai Lu: "Lady Bai, I have spent all the ten thousand taels of silver you gave me."

"There are three rice shops in Lianhua Town. They cost two thousand taels of silver just for the shop. Because there is not only the shop, but also a whole large yard in the back that is used as a warehouse to store rice, flour, grain and oil. It is a very large space."

"Three big shops, combined they are about as big as our home."

Bai Lu listened to what Gu Liang said and nodded.

"In this case, it should cost six thousand taels of silver."

"Where did the remaining four thousand taels of silver go?"

Gu Liang smiled and said, "Of course, the remaining four thousand taels of silver will be used to buy all the rice in their rice shop."

"We have more than 5000 dan of rice, and the average price is only seven coins per pound. Now it is generally sold at eight coins per pound. So... we are making a profit."

"???"

"!!!"

Bai Lu's face changed all of a sudden.

Oh my God...he actually bought all the rice in the rice shop.

But the rice in my system mall is only two cents per pound, and there is even a lot of bad rice, some with insects, which is only one cent per pound.

"..."

Gu Liang saw Bai Lu's expression change, so he asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you crazy with joy?"

"..."

Bai Lu shook her head and forced a smile, "It's okay, just continue talking."

Gu Liang smiled and said, "I didn't want to pack so much rice at first, because it's not certain whether we can open the business in the short term. It depends on the situation in Liangzhou Prefecture."

"But they told us that if we didn't buy the rice, they wouldn't sell the rice shop to us."
