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

His sister is amazing.

The three brothers of the Bai family looked at Bai Lu with complicated eyes.

Bai Lu smiled at them and said, "This is just what I should do as an ordinary citizen."

She believes that she should earn the money she deserves and not earn the money she shouldn't. She feels that she is a businessman with a moral bottom line.

Sometimes, you don't need to make so much money.

Moreover, the system mall sold the rice with insects to me at one cent per pound, and some of them were given to me as gifts by the mall. I simply didn't have to pay for the others.

Sometimes, he even earned a few hundred coins, or one or two taels of silver.

Although, I don't think highly of the money I earn.

But if it can benefit everyone and improve your reputation, why not do it? !

Bai Lu smiled at them.

"Don't worry, just stay here and recover. I will try my best to let the people of Liangzhou live...better lives."

She is now considered a wealthy businessman. During wars in ancient times, wealthy businessmen would release grain from their granaries so that people who had no money to eat could afford to eat.

Now she released some rice, at one cent per pound, so the poor could afford it.

Wouldn't it be great if we could exchange this rice for other food?

And the key point is that the superiors in Liangzhou Prefecture will definitely not scramble for rice at a penny per pound.

Because they all know that it is infested with worms, and they look down on rice that has worms in it.

Although they may feel that Bai Lu's behavior is not appropriate and they are unhappy, but when asked, Bai Lu also said, "How dare we feed this rice with worms to the soldiers?"

The person in the higher-up position must be speechless.

It's nothing, no big deal.

After a few days, the business of the Seven Fairies Rice Shop became very popular and became famous throughout Huai County.

Many people from other places knew that Bai Lu was selling rice for one cent per pound, so they rushed to buy it crazily.

But when they arrived at this place, they found that...the one penny per pound of rice here had been snatched away by others.

But it doesn’t matter. Although Bai Lu’s family no longer has the rice that cost one cent per pound, they still have rice that costs 25 cents per pound.

The rice in Bailu store is much cheaper than that in other counties, so they are willing to come to Bailu to buy it.

But some places are too far away and it is not easy to come here.

But they went to Shen Congyun's rice shop.

Both Bai Lu and Shen Congyun made a lot of money.

Everyone praised the Seven Fairies Rice Shop in Bailu: "The Seven Fairies Rice Shop in Bailu is really great! So affordable!"

"Yeah, no wonder he's the richest man in Lotus Town. Look how kind he is in doing business. It's simply a good deed! A good deed!"

"Rice for one penny per pound... Throughout history, have you ever seen anyone selling it? Even before the rebellion in Liangzhou Prefecture, few people sold it for one penny per pound."

"Even if the rice is infested with insects, it can still be sold for at least three or four cents a pound."

"Oh, how can Bai Lu be so kind? This one penny a pound of rice...if it is replaced with black flour or small grains, it will be enough for our family to eat for a while."

"Yes, and Bai Lu's rice shop is also very cheap, only 25 cents per pound."

"Even when it was the cheapest, it was sold for 20 yuan a pound two days ago, which made it impossible for other rice shops nearby to sell, so they had to lower the price to 25 wen a pound."

"It saves the rice prices from getting higher and higher... Bai Lu is really a kind person, really a kind person."

"..."

Some scholars naturally understand the purpose of Bailu.

They were all surprised that a girl would have such thoughts, and that Bai Lu was so smart that she could think of this method.

They all wrote poems for Bai Lu.

It was widely praised throughout Liangzhou Prefecture.

And how could the common people not see Bai Lu's good intentions? They also went from street to street praising Bai Lu.

In addition, the threat of military rebellion in Lotus Town is gradually fading, and the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop can now open for business as usual.

Many people came to Bailu's house to drink milk tea, buy rice and food.

All of a sudden, Bai Lu made a fortune.

In just a few days, Bai Lu made a net profit of six or seven thousand taels of silver.

Moreover, she had a very good reputation. Even the children in the streets and alleys knew that a great kind person had appeared in Lianhua Town, Huai County.

I heard there are kids cosplaying as Bailu to do business...

And on this day, Lin Canghai from Chengwang Mansion came back.

When he came back, he brought 20 wealthy businessmen with him.

The 20 wealthy merchants all received Bailu rice, which was delivered to King Cheng, so King Cheng was willing to release the 20 wealthy merchants.

And the day before yesterday, Bai Lu prepared another 100,000 stones of rice and asked Shen Congyun to take people to transport it. It is estimated that in about two days, the second wave of wealthy businessmen will return.

After the first wave of 20 wealthy businessmen came back, they rushed to Bai Lu's house, knelt down before Bai Lu's orders, and cried bitterly.

"Wow, Bailu... Thank you so much."

"White Lady, if it weren't for you, I would have died this time."

"

White Snake, you are our savior, please accept our greetings!"

"

Thank you, White Lady..."

"..."

They kept kowtowing to Bai Lu, which scared her.

Bai Lu quickly dodged and helped them up one by one. Bai Lu quickly smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I just did my part."

"Everyone, get up quickly, get up quickly. As the saying goes, a man's knees are made of gold... Stop kneeling, get up quickly!"

Really embarrassing.

Everyone was so upset: "Bai Lu, you must let us thank you properly."

"yes......"

Several wealthy businessmen sighed and said to Bai Lu, "If it weren't for you this time, we would really be dead."

Rich businessman Li patted his chest and smiled at Bai Lu.

"White Lady, although we are businessmen who value profit over separation, we are not complete businessmen... We are not bad either."

"You helped us and saved us, so we will definitely help you in the future."

"If you have any problem, White Lady, just tell us. We all owe you a favor."

"We will all help you a lot."

"Yeah yeah."

These wealthy businessmen all looked at Bai Lu with gratitude.

They said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, or need help with anything, no matter which county you open a shop in, we will be happy to help you."

Wang the rich businessman said, "My family sells cloth. If you need any cloth with beautiful colors, I will give it to you without charging you any money."

"And you have seven daughters, right? I'll get you some beautiful floral fabrics later. If you open a fabric shop, our family will be able to help you a lot."

Mr. Zhou also smiled and said, "My family sells jade. I'll bring you some of this jade later. You can decorate your children and yourself with it and carve a necklace or bracelet. Wouldn't that be great?"

Ouyang the wealthy businessman said with a smile, "My family is in the calligraphy and painting business. If you hang this calligraphy and painting in your home, it will make your home look much more elegant, like a scholar's home."

"Most of us businessmen have no culture and are full of money. Scholars look down on us... But if we hang a calligraphy and painting, it seems that we are cultured scholars."

"Hahaha."

"..."

As they said this they started to laugh.

Bai Lu looked at the sincere expressions of these people and smiled.

Merchants, naturally, cannot be trusted wholeheartedly. Whether they are ancient merchants or modern merchants, they basically put profit first.

But Bai Lu saved them, so even for the sake of their own face, they had to do Bai Lu a favor.

No matter what happens in the future, if Bai Lu asks them for help, they will definitely help.

Not for this favor, but for face...

In ancient times, reputation and face were still very important.

As a businessman, what matters is a respectable appearance.

Bai Lu worked hard for them and finally gathered so much rice. If they didn't help Bai Lu in times of crisis, wouldn't they be mean people? Who knows what people outside would say about them? !

So more or less, they also have to give Bai Lu some gifts of thanks, and if Bai Lu has any problems in the future, they will definitely help. From now on, they must be Bai Lu's connections.

Even if you don't want to be Bai Lu's connection, you have to do it.

Otherwise, just wait for the people outside to laugh their heads off and criticize them harshly, even drowning them with their spit.

After this group of wealthy businessmen came back, they handed over 600,000 taels of silver to Bai Lu without any deduction.

Despite receiving such a large sum of money, Bai Lu did not show any surprise on her face.

This also made the wealthy businessman who was secretly observing Bai Lu feel a little disappointed...it seemed that something was wrong.

Why didn't Bai Lu seem surprised at all?

Could it be that Bai Lu really didn't make any money this time?

They all understood at once.

If Bai Lu didn't make any money, she would definitely not show any happy expression.

It seems that Bai Lu has been working very hard for them during this period, and has also used a lot of connections.

Never mind, just give her the 60 yuan, so no one will feel too bad about it.

Anyway, they can save some of their own property and make a comeback later.

Thirty thousand taels per person, these six hundred thousand taels of silver were earned very easily.

After Bai Lu watched them leave, she smiled widely. It wasn't that she wasn't surprised, but she was good at pretending.

And another point is that they have only given themselves 600,000 taels of silver now, but Bai Lu himself had already calculated it before.

This time, he could at least earn more than two million taels of silver.

So these six hundred thousand taels of silver are nothing at all, just a drop in the bucket.

Two days later, the second wave of wealthy businessmen came. When they came, they also gave Bai Lu 600,000 taels of silver. The total amount of silver given by these two waves of wealthy businessmen was 1.2 million taels of silver.

After deducting this period of time, various costs and the money he had saved before, Bai Lu now has a total of 1,260,600 taels of silver.

He also asked Lin Zanghai to help transport all the remaining rice to Prince Cheng's palace, and asked Prince Cheng and his men to release all the remaining wealthy businessmen.

And he would also be able to get the third wave, which would be nearly one million taels of silver.

This is so cool!

Lin Zanghai rejected Bai Lu. He said to Bai Lu very seriously, "If so, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Bai Lu immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Zanghai replied: "First, this will make His Royal Highness King Cheng think that you must have other rice in your hands."

"He will feel that you are not working for him wholeheartedly!"

"And the second point is that...these three waves of rice were delivered too close together, which would make those wealthy businessmen think that you can get rice easily."

"They won't be very grateful to you."

"Third, I want to stay here with you for a while longer."

"..."

Bai Lu: “…”

Bai Lu was silent.

When she first heard the first two points, she thought that Lin Zanghai's words made sense, but the third point made no sense at all.

What I said to Lin Zanghai before, he didn't listen at all. This kid just won't listen.

Lin Zanghai felt sad when he saw Bai Luqing's face turning pale.

It turns out that she...really doesn't like herself that much.

I just wanted to stay with her for a while longer, look at her expression and attitude? !

Lin Zanghai's face turned pale and he seemed unhappy.

Grievance o(╥﹏╥)o

Impotent Rage (╯－＿－)╯╧╧

Bai Lu looked at Lin Zanghai's expression and said quickly.

"This...if you want to stay at my house, then you can stay a little longer."

"I think what you said makes sense. Let's prepare the rice first. After two or three days, when you have rested enough, you can return to Liangzhou Prefecture."

"Okay!"

Lin Zanghai nodded, looking somewhat complacent.

Lin Zanghai said to Bai Lu, "I have been really hard-working during this period! Transporting rice back and forth for you and His Royal Highness Cheng Wang... His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is very happy."

"He said I had been very busy and exhausted recently, so he rewarded me with a big house."

"At that time, His Highness specifically asked me which house I wanted, and I said...why not the mayor's house?"

"You've seen the mayor's house in Lotus Town before. It has eight courtyards!"

"How about you move to the mayor's house?"
