In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 216: King Cheng's army retreats to Huai County
4 wen per pound, which doesn't sound expensive on the surface, but there are many people in the family and one pound can only be eaten for a few days, so they really can't afford it.
If the black flour and grits sold during the White Dew Festival cost one penny for three pounds, wouldn't that be equivalent to getting them for free?
Shaoyao was in the front, managing the overall situation, and said to them, "Don't push! Don't push! Take your time, there are plenty!"
"One person can buy 18 kilograms!"
"We will try to find out the inventory in a while and see if we can still sell some food to everyone, so don't worry too much."
Hearing this, the people behind heaved a sigh of relief, and their hearts, which had been as stagnant as a pool of water, suddenly relaxed.
They were extremely grateful to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu is such a good person.
They decided that even if they wanted to rob other people's food or other wealthy businessmen, they would not go to Bai Lu's house!
It took a whole day to distribute a wave of food.
There were also many wealthy businessmen in other towns in Huai County, who followed Bai Lu's example and distributed grain.
If they don't release food at this time, it will be impossible.
Maybe you'll get robbed.
They saw Bai Lu's move to release grain, and thought that this was also acceptable, so they set the price to be similar to Bai Lu's.
One penny for one or two pounds of black flour and corn.
However, some wealthy merchants did not have much food at home, so they simply cooked porridge and gave it to the people, allowing them to come and drink it for free. That was fine too.
It's better than nothing.
More than half a year has passed, and this is basically how I spent the past six months.
There was no movement at the front line. In the summer, news finally came from the front line that Cheng Wang and his men were losing ground.
In the end, the army was defeated and retreated to Huai County.
Huai County should be their last line of defense.
If we retreat further, almost half of Liangzhou will be handed over.
On the day King Cheng and his entourage retreated to Huai County, they found Bai Lu directly.
King Cheng was sitting in Bai Lu's house. Bai Lu had already hidden the children and asked them to go to the cellar.
Bai Lu, her seven daughters, and Leng Bingnian sat quietly on the stools, listening to King Cheng speak.
Lin Canghai also stood next to King Cheng. He stared at Bai Lu with some worry in his eyes, but did not speak.
King Cheng said to Bai Lu with a smile.
"...Lady Bai, this is a special situation, so we urgently need you to take out some silver. I believe you can take out the silver we spent on you before, right?"
Bai Lu nodded calmly, "Of course I can take it out."
After all, this was originally the money that belonged to King Cheng and his men.
King Cheng and his men originally thought that Bai Lu could provide some military supplies to the soldiers and enable long-term development, so they let her spend a lot of money, but the embarrassing thing was... they didn't last long, and Da Wu beat them into this terrible state.
The rebel army was quickly routed.
It is rather embarrassing that King Cheng and his friends’ beautiful dream has been shattered. They have to get back the silver they gave to Bai Luhua.
King Cheng said to Bai Lu, "But, Lady Bai, we are friends, and I don't want more from you."
"Now just give me some food."
"Just give me the same amount of food as the amount of silver I spend on you."
"We are now fighting a protracted war. There is not much food in Liangzhou. We have been under siege, and the people here have not been farming much. Now it is not even the autumn harvest season, so we are very short of food."
"That is... just give us 10 shi of rice first."
Bai Lu showed a confused and conflicted expression on her face, and her eyes were evasive.
In fact, Bai Lu almost laughed out loud in her heart. She had her own system mall and could buy as much rice as she wanted. She had plenty of it.
Fortunately, King Cheng didn't ask her to pay. Bai Lu was even prepared to pay, but he didn't.
If rice is produced, that would be perfect.
Looking into Bai Lu's eyes, King Cheng said with a smile.
"Why, Lady White, are you in trouble?"
"I know you are in a difficult situation. After all, I have heard for a long time that many people in Huai County have received your kindness and bought a lot of food from you. Although some of the food is moldy and infested with moths, which other wealthy merchants did not want in the past, it is still a lot."
"It doesn't matter if it's difficult. Just let your daughter go with us."
Bai Lu quickly pretended to be panicked and said.
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem, but... can I get these 10 dan of rice together with other wealthy merchants?"
"It's okay to just make do with it."
He nodded and said with a smile, "Anyway, you just need to come up with 10 dan of rice."
"If you can't pay the price, then... Bai Niangzi, you are a smart person, I'm sure you know it."
Bai Lu nodded, and King Cheng left.
Lin Zanghai did not follow King Cheng, but turned and spoke to Bai Lu.
"How about it, can you take it out?"
Bai Lu nodded: "What if I don't take it out? I have to take it out."
Lin Zanghai smiled awkwardly and said, "Now, I always feel a little tired, as if... I followed the wrong King."
If I hadn't followed King Cheng, I wouldn't have encountered so many dangers.
But King Cheng saved his life, so he had to follow King Cheng.
It’s just...some grievances are revealed.
Lin Zanghai stared at Bai Lu without saying anything.
Bai Lu quickly sent Lin Zanghai out, closed the doors and windows, and let the two children out.
Ximen Liuyun and the little prince were a little frightened when they crawled out of the cellar.
They said to Bai Lu anxiously, "Mrs. Bai, are you okay?"
Bai Lu smiled and nodded: "It's okay, they just asked me to take out some rice. I have a lot of granaries here, and there is rice."
But they were all taken from the system mall.
King Cheng would definitely capture all his daughters.
10 dan of rice is not a lot of money, and for me now, it is just a piece of cake.
Naturally, rice can be produced by Bailu, but...it cannot be produced immediately. It should be produced after about 10 days.
Go ask Shen Congyun again and gather the information, so that King Cheng will really think that Bai Lu has no food left and will not look for Bai Lu anymore.
When I look for Bai Lu again, I should ask her to get the silver.
However, Bai Lu frowned, probably guessing that by the time Bai Lu was asked to get the silver, King Cheng would have been defeated.
At this time, Xiao Qiyue asked in a low voice, "I don't know how my uncle is doing."
