"Otherwise, Bai Lu has been spending so much money that she has spent a total of 500,000 taels of silver. What should we do?"

Five hundred thousand taels of silver... If they had known earlier that they had spent so much money, they would not have let Bai Lu go to help.

"Oh, all right! Just say it if you want to."

King Cheng nodded and said to Master Jiang, "Then just go and tell Bai Lu about this."

Master Jiang nodded, and as soon as he left the door, he told the guards below: "Go find Bai Lu."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not look for her anymore. I'll go find her myself."

After he finished speaking, Master Jiang turned around and went to the backyard.

As soon as he went to the backyard, he saw seven cute children wearing delicate floral cotton jackets chasing butterflies.

Beside them, Leng Bingnian looked at them with a smile: "It's really rare to see butterflies in this winter."

Young Master Jiang was dressed in white, regaining his appearance as a sickly but handsome nobleman.

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Master Jiang.

"..."

His smile froze.

The eight children all turned their heads and looked at Young Master Jiang.

Bai Lu glanced at Master Jiang, raised her eyebrows at him, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, how come you have time to come to our backyard today?"

"And you have to know that this backyard is not a place for casual visitors. This is where Princess Cheng and His Royal Highness the King's concubine live."

He twitched his lips and said, "Miss Bai, what do you mean by this?"

"You mean I would do something to Princess Cheng and His Royal Highness Prince Cheng's concubine? I'm not that kind of person!"

"Yes, I guess Mr. Jiang is not the kind of person who would covet other people's wives."

Bai Lu smiled at Master Jiang with an ambiguous look.

When Master Jiang heard this, his face turned dark and looked a little ugly.

Wow, the implication is so obvious!

He frowned and looked at Bai Lu. Before he could say anything, he heard Bai Lu pulling him in with a smile: "Since you are here, Mr. Jiang, come in! Come in and sit down. Let's talk about something."

"Okay."

After he and Bai Lu went in, Bai Lu poured him a cup of tea.

"The layout of your house is quite nice."

Master Jiang praised him. King Cheng was quite nice to Bai Lu. After all, he was one of his most capable subordinates.

Moreover, his great general Lin Canghai also fell in love with Bai Lu...but it was a pity that Bai Lu would soon become his concubine.

Lin Zanghai is about to cry.

Bai Lu smiled at Master Jiang, poured him a cup of particularly bitter tea, and then said, "Master Jiang, please have some tea! We know you have a special taste, so we specially bought aged Pu'er."

She also added some bitter agents into it, which would definitely make Master Jiang die of bitterness.

She had prepared this tea long ago, adding a bittering agent to the tea leaves... just to make it enjoyable.

Isn't it said that Master Jiang loves to show off? He especially likes to drink tea, the bitterer the better, so she wants to see how Master Jiang drinks this tea.

As expected, after Master Jiang finished drinking the tea, his face wrinkled immediately. It was so bitter that he thought he had drunk water soaked in snake gall.

He looked at Bai Lu in shock: "How old is this Pu'er? Why is it so bitter?"

Bai Lu smiled and said, "This is 30-year-old Pu'er."

She made up a story: "It takes 30 years for Pu'er to be this bitter!"

"Look, it has the fragrance of tea, but it's also very bitter, like eating bitter gall... If it's ordinary Pu'er, how could it be so bitter?"

"Too."

Hearing this, Master Jiang felt that it made perfect sense. His eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Then do you have any more Pu'er tea? I want some."

Although his tongue was numb from the bitterness, he could still make this tea and drink it when guests came in the future. It would be nice to have it in a bottle.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Since Master Jiang wants it, we have everything you need."

Young Master Jiang laughed and said, "Sister White is the one who knows what's good!"

"Such a great Pu'er can only be drunk at will by a wealthy businessman like you, Bai Niangzi."

"Alas, I wonder how the soldiers on the front line can survive without any cotton-padded clothes or anything warm to eat."

"Mrs. Bai has always been a person who cares about the country and the people. I'm sure you can understand this firsthand, right?"

"..."

When Bai Lu heard this, she understood that he probably came here to raise some money, food or warm clothes for the soldiers on the front line.

There are only these three things.

Now it is most likely a warm cotton coat.

After all, Bai Lu had just extorted a lot of money from those wealthy businessmen, and these people must have known about it, so they wanted to take the money from her.

How can these people be so shameless!!

Bai Lu smiled at him and said, "Yes, then give some of this tea to the soldiers on the front line!"

Young Master Jiang was silent.

White Snake is not interested in anything.

"Give some of this tea to the soldiers on the front line... There's no way to solve their plight, so you should give this tea to me!"

Young Master Jiang smiled and said, "There are more than 100,000 soldiers on the front line without cotton clothes. We really don't know what to do. Lady White... do you have any ideas?"

Bai Lu smiled and kicked the ball to Master Jiang: "Master Jiang, you are the richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture. If you can't do anything, how can I, the richest man in the county, do anything?"

Hearing this, Master Jiang laughed: "Everyone knows White Snake. You are the one with the most ideas."

"Now that you have some money, if you can help our frontline soldiers, of course you should help. After all, you are one of King Cheng's confidants!"

Bai Lu twitched her lips when she heard this, and then she smiled at Master Jiang and said, "Then how can I help?"

Master Jiang said: "It is difficult for an army of more than 100,000 soldiers on the front line to fight without cotton clothes and armor."

"If necessary, please ask Lady White to buy armor and cotton clothes for our frontline soldiers. It won't cost much this year, just 50 silver in total."

"But next year...if we recruit more soldiers, we'll need more money."

Young Master Jiang smiled and said, "I think we'll need one million taels of silver next year!"

"Besides, Lady Bai, you are so great, you should work hard for the country and the people!"

"If you do this for our Liangzhou Prefecture, our new dynasty... His Royal Highness Prince Cheng will certainly be happy."

This means that I have to pack the armor, cotton clothes and military supplies for these soldiers.

About one million taels are needed every year.
