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

"Even food can be harvested at this time."

Bai Lu was very surprised when she heard this.

I have heard in modern times that rice in the south can be harvested twice, and in particularly hot places, it can even be harvested three times.

Their Liangzhou Prefecture is indeed an area with relatively barren land.

Bai Lu continued to ask.

"Then is Liangzhou Prefecture relatively poor?"

Bai Chuyao nodded with a smile, "Of course, now Bai Lu, you can rank among the top five in Liangzhou Prefecture in terms of financial strength, but the top five wealthy merchants in Liangzhou Prefecture... in the Jiangnan area, I'm afraid they can only rank around tenth."

Even if Bai Lu's actual financial resources were more than 200 million taels of silver, she would not be among the top ten in the Jiangnan area.

"How rich is Jiangnan?"

"...How rich he is, we don't know."

Bai Chuyao said to Bai Lu with a smile, "But what we can say is that the financial resources of the Bai family are probably a hundred times greater than yours."

"Oh my god!!"

Bai Lu was very surprised, "Doesn't that mean your Bai family is rich enough to rival a country?"

"That's right."

Bai Chuyao tried his best to explain to Bai Lu, even telling her all the secrets of their Bai family.

Bai Liezhao who was standing next to him was stunned when he heard this.

He stared blankly at Bai Chuyao and Bai Lu, like a fool.

Wow, why does brother care so much about Bai Lu!

Could it be that...Big Brother likes Bai Lu? !

This won't work. Where would that put my sister-in-law? She and her sister-in-law already have a child.

"The reason why the Bai family had a queen was not because my father held an official position, and my father was not an official at the time. It was mainly because the Bai family was relatively wealthy."

"At that time, the country was relatively poor, and coupled with years of floods and wars, the people were living in poverty, and they needed a wealthy queen."

"So, the Bai family, the richest family in the world at that time, produced a queen."

"Since there is a queen, it is normal for the Bai family to produce many officials, right?"

"..."

Bai Lu nodded, suddenly realizing what was going on.

It seems that...the world was quite chaotic at that time.

As expected, one can only make a fortune in troubled times.

It was during the turbulent times that he made more than 200 million taels of silver.

If it weren't for the chaotic times, I would probably have to do business for a long time to earn more than 200 million taels of silver.

All the silver is now stored in his warehouse, and most of it has been exchanged for silver notes, which are lighter.

If anything happens, you can just run away with the money.

As for why it was not put into the system space...haha, you know, you know.

Of course the system can’t be put down (*＾ワ＾*)

Bai Qingze looked at Bai Lu gently and smiled at her: "You are also a powerful person."

"I feel that with your intelligence and talent, you will soon be able to make yourself the richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture."

"When you become the richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture, how far will you be from crushing our Bai family?"

When Bai Chuyao heard this, he nodded with a smile.

"That's right."

"You have to know that our Bai family has accumulated wealth for several generations to have the status we have today."

"...But you are different. You are self-made, and you are completely different from the Bai family."

"We all believe in you. You can do it."

Bai Liezhao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say to Bai Chuyao and Bai Qingze when he heard them supporting Bai Lu so much.

"Why are you so biased towards Bai Lu?"

"I noticed... isn't there something a little off about you two?"

"Cough cough."

Bai Chuyao quickly kicked him from behind and continued to smile at Bai Lu, "We are all your good friends, so of course we believe it."

Bai Lu smiled at this time.

Before that, she had a terrible dream.

In that dream...she dreamed of her mother.

And her mother said that she and the three brothers of the Bai family are siblings.

But later...she was planning to ask the three brothers of the Bai family about this matter. Bai Liezhao happened to pass by and heard her talk about this dream.

He immediately grinned at Bai Lu and said, "This is really nonsense."

"I don't know if there are two of these phoenix hairpins, but my sister has already found them in Kyoto."

"

Now the Emperor has named her Princess Mingzhu, and even my aunt, the Queen, has confirmed that she is my sister."

"And my aunt the Queen often takes Princess Mingzhu to live in the palace. She likes Princess Mingzhu very much and even said she wants to marry her to a prince."

"???"

"!!!"

"what?!"

Bai Lu was very confused when she heard it.

It turns out... there is already a Princess Mingzhu.

That Princess Mingzhu is the biological sister of the three brothers of the Bai family.

Afterwards, Bai Liezhao smiled and said to Bai Lu: "This kind of thing should just be a dream."

"You just had a good relationship with the three of us brothers before, so it's normal for you to dream about this."

He wanted Bai Lu to be his sister, but she wasn't one.

Princess Mingzhu had so much evidence, and it was the third brother who brought her into the palace.

Since the third prince and the queen both said yes, then it must be so.

But Bai Lu still didn't give up. She always felt that...something seemed to be wrong.

Something just wasn't right.

So Bai Lu specifically asked Bai Liezhao again: "Who said that? Princess Mingzhu is your sister."

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Of course it's your third brother."

"Your third brother Bai Qingze."

"!!!"

"..."

It’s over.

Bai Lu laughed when she heard this, "So it was Bai Qingze. He brought Princess Mingzhu into Kyoto."

It seems that she can confirm that she is not Bai Qingze's sister.

If she was really Bai Qingze's sister, Bai Qingze would have told her long ago.

No wonder... every time Bai Qingze saw her, he always felt absent-minded and hesitant to speak.

It turned out that she was not Bai Qingze's sister at all.

She had been waiting for Bai Qingze to tell the truth, but it turned out not to be the truth at all.

Bai Lu felt extremely disappointed.

She always felt that she should be the sister of the three brothers of the Bai family. Or maybe she was just vain and wanted to get close to the Bai family, the richest family in the world.

But why did Bai Qingze not tell me even though he had already found out about this matter? !

Doesn't he have the heart to see himself sad, can't he bear to see himself disappointed? !

Bai Lu sighed, feeling that she was already disappointed enough.

Bai Lu glanced at Bai Liezhao and said nothing.

Afterwards, Bai Lu changed the subject and smiled at the three brothers of the Bai family: "Speaking of which...you are so experienced, why don't you tell me, what business should I do in Liangzhou Prefecture to make more money?"

Although Liangzhou Prefecture and Dawu are at war, Bailu’s business cannot be stopped.

Because they were fighting on the front line, basically everyone in Liangzhou Prefecture was in danger and prepared to flee to the rear of Liangzhou Prefecture.

This time, the Liangzhou Prefecture did not block the road, but let the people escape to the rear.

If the city is really captured, let the people of Liangzhou Prefecture escape to the rear, so that fewer people will die.

Although the people can be killed at will, they can pay taxes and farm, which are the source of making money.

The people can carry the boat, but they can also capsize it. The people are also very important.

"Oh... Actually, the rice shop business is already very profitable."

Bai Chuyao smiled at Bai Lu and said, "If you continue to run the rice shop business, you will definitely make a fortune."

"And it's also very stable, it's a good income."

Bai Lu nodded with a smile.

"That's true."

But she had more than 200 million taels of silver in her hand, and she wanted to invest it.

So how does money make money? !

This is a difficult question to ask them.

Only Bai Qingze looked at Bai Lu deeply.

Afterwards, when Bai Chuyao and Bai Liezhao went out to rest.

Bai Qingze quietly pulled Bai Lu aside.

He decided to talk to Bai Lu in private.

They have now built a new house and bought two houses near Changyi Lane and connected them.

Under renovation.

It's just winter now, so it's on hold.

But they expected to prepare the entire eight-courtyard compound.

The back of the eight-courtyard building has been renovated.

Bai Lu and the seven children now sleep in separate rooms. Bai Lu also took Bai Qingze to have a look at the back garden they had reserved.

Bai Qingze smiled and said, "You are really creative. It would be nice to raise goldfish and flowers in the back garden."

"And you actually divided the land among the children and told them to bury the gold underground."

Bai Lu nodded with a smile.

"Yes."

"Haven't you made some money recently? So I bought the children a small courtyard carved out of gold."

One weighs about four taels of gold, and four hundred taels of gold is equivalent to four thousand taels of gold.

Giving one to each child would cost about 30,000 taels as their summer gift.

They would get small gifts every year, whether it was birthdays or various festivals... As long as they had money, the girls would prepare gifts for them, so that the children could share the joy of making money with them.

"...But Third Brother, I want to ask you, do you think there is any business that can make a lot of money?"

"A big money-making business?"

"You mean, I want you to become the richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture in a short period of time?"

Bai Lu nodded and said naturally, "That's right."

Bai Qingze replied: "To become the richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture, you must at least earn five million taels of silver, or six or seven million taels of silver."

"You have only started your career in a few short years, so your money must not be more than that of the previous richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture."

Bai Qingze smiled and said to Bai Lu, "But there's no need to rush."

"He is now the richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture. He has basically given all his money to Cheng Wang and his men. I guess he has almost spent it all."

"So it won't be a problem for you to become the richest man."

Bai Lu nodded and smiled at Bai Qingze, "Then I will aim for 500 million taels of silver, and then I can become the richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture."

"Row."

The man nodded with a smile, "Actually... I suggest you not to invest money now. You might as well save the money for later, and wait until Dawu and Liangzhou Prefecture go to war, then you can go and make money."

"If the war lasts for a long time, the rice will definitely be sold more..."

"Since you have the means to get a lot of rice, the rice you sell should be cheaper than that sold by others."

"As time went on, many other rice shops ran out of rice, and they couldn't sell it even when the price was high."

"Then this shop, isn't it sold at a low price?"

"If you bought all the rice shops in Liangzhou Prefecture, what do you think would happen?"

"..."

Bai Lu's eyes lit up, "Then I will control the lifeline of the entire Liangzhou Prefecture."

"Yes, that's right."

Gu Liang nodded and said firmly: "Food is the first necessity of the people. You hold the lifeline of the entire Liangzhou Prefecture in your hands."

"Now Shen Congyun has bought a lot of rice shops in Xiangshan County. Although this has cut off part of his lifeline, the embarrassing thing is... he doesn't have as much money as you."

"Even if Shen Congyun has the means, he is powerless without money, don't you think?"

"..."

Bai Lu nodded and said, "Then I will buy all the rice shops in Liangzhou Prefecture..."

This is called monopoly.

If there is a monopoly, doing business will be much more convenient.

Like a small rice shop, maybe not enough to make a profit...Bai Lu doesn't take it to heart.

However, if all the grain in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture had to be resold by himself, and his purchase price was also very cheap.

Then, unknowingly, the overall amount of grain in Liangzhou Prefecture will increase, and the people of Liangzhou Prefecture will not only live better, but the price of rice will also become lower and lower.

The money I earn is increasing.

No matter what industry it is, as long as it is a monopoly, the money earned will definitely be very much.

And the most important thing is... as long as she monopolizes the rice business in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture, then no matter whether there is war or not, she will definitely become the richest person in Liangzhou Prefecture.

"In fact, this idea is not only mine, but many wealthy businessmen can come up with it."

Bai Qingze patted Bai Lu's shoulder and smiled at her, "But not all wealthy businessmen have such capital."

“In the past when rice was expensive, they didn’t have the capital to do so.”

"The price of rice is lower now, but their money has been taken away by King Cheng, so they don't have the capital to do this anymore."

"I think theoretically... about two million taels should be enough."

"If you don't have enough, I can find a way to get some silver from the grain government and lend it to you. You can quickly monopolize the rice shop."
