In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 119: Making deals with wealthy businessmen and earning the difference, Bai Lu made a fortune
They were all about to cry, and each of them was scrambling for the one.
There were soldiers guarding outside the yard... Then, Bai Lu glanced at those soldiers and immediately waved at them.
"You guys go down."
"..."
The soldiers looked at Bai Lu waving at them and were stunned, hesitating for a moment.
This... Bai Lu ordered them to leave? But thinking of Lin Zanghai's previous order to them, they all left.
These wealthy businessmen can’t do anything anyway, so it doesn’t matter if they leave.
Bai Lu is now a person that His Royal Highness King Cheng trusts very much.
Bai Lu and Shen Congyun pulled those wealthy businessmen and said to them mysteriously: "In fact, we not only have our own food, but also some rice shops at Mr. Bai and Jixiang Restaurant."
"There is still some food in the rice shop."
"I guess... considering the quantity, I can share it with you guys!"
The wealthy businessmen's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Ah! Really, White Lady!"
"But...what if it's not enough!"
Bai Lu smiled and said, "If it's not enough, I will go and search privately to see if there is enough rice."
"If you don't produce enough rice, you'll be beheaded. I can definitely help you get it together! As long as you give me enough silver!"
"After all, I have been released by His Royal Highness King Cheng today, so I will definitely be able to survive, don't you think... If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come here."
Master Shen also nodded and said calmly, "Yes, she is now someone that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng trusts very much. She could have left Liangzhou Prefecture and returned to Lianhua Town directly. But now, because of you, she has specially returned to the main hall to meet you and find a solution for you."
"Yes."
The wealthy businessmen nodded, thinking it made a lot of sense.
They were somewhat moved and said, "Thank you... White Lady, although some of us may die... we still remember your great kindness."
“Yes, we really thank you for coming here to sell rice to us.”
"And willing to run for us!"
"Hey, you're welcome. We're all family."
Bai Lu sighed and said to them, "But... I think if it's just like this, it won't work! We'll see each other sooner or later!"
"All of you richest men are very powerful people. It would be a pity if you all died here."
"Don't worry, although the food and silver I have now may not be enough! But after I report back to His Royal Highness King Cheng, I will definitely raise more silver for you so that you can rescue all of you, okay?!"
"We have some money on hand now, so we can rescue a group of people first. Let's take our time. Let's rescue 20 people first. You 20 people will give me money in proportion. The richest man in the town can pay me taels of silver, and the richest man in the county can give me taels of silver. I will help you get enough food."
"I'll ask King Cheng to give you some time! I'll definitely help you get the food! Once you get a certain amount of food, he'll let you go!"
The wealthy businessmen immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, we got it."
"Please tell His Royal Highness King Cheng to be lenient with us for a few days and not to kill us."
"..."
However, some wealthy businessmen did not quite believe it, "But White Lady... aren't you really being too cruel?"
"You know, the price of rice outside is not the same as what you said."
"This person is worth 30,000 taels of silver, or 60,000 taels of silver. Didn't you make all the difference?"
That's not a big deal. Of course, she earned all the money herself. If she didn't make any money, why would she tell them?
When Bai Lu heard this, her face changed and she immediately showed a look of deep pain. She said to the wealthy businessmen, "Sir, what are you talking about? How can I earn so much money from you?"
"Do you know how much rice costs in Liangzhou? If you don't believe me, when you go out, ask people outside Liangzhou. Is the current price of rice 20 or cents per pound? There is a market but no price."
"If you wait a few more days, maybe the amount of money you hand over will increase."
"I'm not asking you for too much money now. I just want to help you... And running around everywhere, is it easy for me to raise money and rice?"
"Isn't this little money enough for anything?"
"..."
Hearing this, the wealthy businessmen all nodded.
"That does make sense."
"Thank you, Lady White."
"Yes, if you don't want the rice, then we will take it!"
"If you don't want to pay, we will!"
"It's you who will die, not us!"
"That's right... White Lady, don't listen to them. We will give you thirty thousand taels of silver!"
"I will give you sixty thousand taels of silver!"
"Don't worry, as long as you can rescue us all, we will definitely do it!"
"Yeah yeah......"
They all made a deal with Bai Lu.
All 72 wealthy businessmen looked at Bai Lu with sparkling eyes.
Shen Congyun behind him was stunned.
How much rice did Bailu store?... That's right, Bailu is so smart, she must have stored a lot of rice.
Damn, I’m going to make a fortune this time.
Earn more than yourself...
I used to think he was smart enough to make some money during this war, but I didn't expect that the real winner this time was Bai Lu.
On the surface, it was Shen Congyun who attracted all the criticism to himself, but in fact... in the end, Bai Lu made a lot of money secretly.
Okay, okay, this is a really great trick.
But it was just a coincidence. Bai Lu didn't intentionally draw the spearhead to herself.
It was still his fault that he was just one step behind. Shen Congyun really admired Bai Lu in his heart.
After finishing talking to these people, Bai Lu immediately took Shen Congyun to find King Cheng and spoke to him with tears in her eyes.
"...Your Highness, King Cheng, this is my request."
"I don't want anything else. I just ask you to give these wealthy businessmen a few more days."
"These masters told me privately that they are going to borrow money from other relatives so that they can fill the hole and then they can give His Highness enough money and food."
When King Cheng heard this, he naturally agreed.
Since we can fill this big hole, it would be nice to get some money, food, etc., and it wouldn't hurt to give us a few days' grace period.
Otherwise, he wouldn't get much money even if he killed these people.
He smiled at Bai Lu and said, "Lady Bai, you are truly a great benefactor to me!"
"Okay, okay, you can go back to Lotus Town later. I think you miss your daughter and the women around you...especially your wife Luo."
"Take Master Shen Congyun with you and go back to Lianhua Town in Huai County to visit your seven daughters. After a few days, go out with Master Bai to do some work and bring back all my grain. Then, collect the grain and silver from the wealthy merchants."
King Cheng is now very satisfied with Bai Lu.
He didn't expect that Bai Lu, a mere town richest man, had such great ability that he could directly persuade Mr. Bai to surrender.
And helped him find 100,000 shi of rice, and there was also such a big surprise...so that these wealthy businessmen could pay enough silver and enough rice.
Even if they operate privately, one family shares a little, one family borrows a little...but Cheng Wang doesn't care about their private affairs. At least, the food can be truly in his own hands.
Bai Lu nodded immediately and smiled: "Then I will take care of this matter. Thank you, Your Highness, King Cheng, for giving me some time."
"Okay, okay, you and Shen Congyun go down!"
"But Bai Qingze... don't go back to Lianhua Town for now. I will send him to your Lianhua Town in a few days and let the two of you go out to do business together."
Bai Lu nodded when she heard this, she understood.
King Cheng was still somewhat wary, so he didn't say anything and just pulled Shen Congyun away.
Just when he was about to go downstairs, he saw Lin Zanghai suddenly come in and say to Cheng Wangdao.
"Your Highness, Prince Cheng, Lord Dongfang asked why Master Bai was released."
"What? How dare he ask that?!"
King Cheng said with disgust: "...That Lady Bai, wait a minute, I think... you should take Bai Qingze back to Lianhua Town first."
"?????"
"what!?"
Bai Lu looked at him in bewilderment, totally confused.
She didn't understand why he suddenly asked her to bring Bai Qingze back to Lianhua Town.
Lin Zanghai listened to this, glanced at Bai Lu, and said to King Cheng: "Your Highness King Cheng, is Bai Lu safe?"
King Cheng waved his hands and said, "It's safe! It's all our Liangzhou territory anyway! What other places could there be outside Liangzhou Prefecture... It's nothing more than a barbarian land. How can they attack us?"
"It doesn't matter. They are in Liangzhou Prefecture anyway. How can they get out of our control?!"
King Cheng didn't feel any danger at all.
"It's just that we are watching Bai Lu and the young master of the Bai family, and there are some troubles. You can go with us to check later. Don't let Lord Dongfang and the third young master of the Bai family get together."
"It's really troublesome! Big trouble! Disgusting!"
"???"
"..."
Bai Lu was confused, and then heard Lin Zanghai nod in agreement.
So, Lin Canghai went and brought out the third Master Bai.
They only brought out the third son of the Bai family, Bai Qingze. As for the guards around Bai Qingze, they did not release them but kept them here.
Bai Lu and the others didn't dare to say anything more. They were already blessed to have Bai Qingze out.
......
Bai Lu, Bai Qingze and Shen Congyun were sitting in a large carriage.
It was the carriage that Bai Lu and Shen Congyun had ridden in before.
As soon as Bai Lu and the others sat on the boat, they immediately said to Lin Zanghai below: "General Lin, please buy us some more food and toys."
"We'll bring it back to my daughter."
"...Okay, okay."
Lin Zanghai curled his lips in disdain.
Why does this White Snake only know how to eat, drink and have fun? Forget it, forget it. Considering her contribution to the prince's career, allow her to eat this and that.
So, Lin Zanghai purchased a large number of delicious and fun things and loaded them into the cabinet of Bai Lu and her friends' car.
Bai Lu and her friends had enough food along the way. Bai Lu also bought a "Stretch Your Legs and Stare Your Eyes" pill from her system mall and handed it to Bai Qingze.
Bai Qingze was very surprised, "I didn't expect that you actually carry the leg-stretching and eye-glaring pills with you."
Bai Lu nodded with a smile, and said to Bai Qingze in the carriage, "Yes, I didn't dare to take it out when I was in Prince Cheng's Mansion before. Now that we are alone together, I took out this leg-stretching and eye-glaring pill."
She smiled at Shen Congyun again and said, "I always carry the leg-stretching and eye-glaring pills with me. I'm afraid something bad will happen to me."
"If anything happens, just take the pills in time."
"Now, elder brother, please eat quickly. I'm worried that something might happen to your body later!"
"..."
"So after you've eaten the Stretching Legs and Staring Eyes Pill, you're pregnant. What should you do if something happens to you or the seven little moons?!"
Bai Qingze refused to eat it no matter what.
Looking at him like this, Bai Lu smiled and said helplessly.
"Don't worry, if I meet that miracle doctor again, I'll just ask for a few more."
"And... I saw him a few days ago. He seemed to be in Liangzhou Prefecture. When I return to Lianhua Town, maybe... I will be able to see him soon."
When she returns to Lianhua Town, she will pretend to be the miracle doctor, look for herself again, and then throw eight or ten bottles of such pills into her own house.
It’s nothing to give Bai Qingze one thousand taels of silver to spend.
The dream she had before was somewhat magical. She always felt that Bai Qingze was very likely her brother.
Bai Lu looked at Bai Qingze with a complicated expression, but Bai Qingze...had not yet figured out what the relationship between the two of them was.
Oh, when will we be able to find out their true relationship?
I am also very curious.
Before, the Stretching Legs and Staring Eyes Pill had only been given to the little prince, so Bai Qingze didn't know how magical this thing was. Now, not long after he took it, he felt that his body had improved a lot and he had more strength, no longer as weak as before.
It was as if he had really come back to life.
Even if he didn't have any serious illness, but was just poisoned and needed to recuperate for a period of time, he now felt that he was full of energy and like a new life, and no longer needed to recuperate again.
