After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

There was no silver in the treasury, and the emperor was so shameless that he didn't even allocate food and fodder to the border troops. He had no doubt that the next time the treasury was empty, the emperor would move against the merchants.

Without the General's Mansion, the Third Prince is naturally no match for the Crown Prince in strength. However, before the overall situation is decided, it is still unknown who will win.

"In the current situation, it is impossible for merchants to protect themselves." Bai Yaoyao saw him pursing his lips and pondering, and continued to attack his mind, "A wise bird chooses a tree to roost in. President Qiu is a far-sighted person and should be able to see the situation clearly."

Qiu Wanchun raised his eyelids and looked at her, his expression remained unchanged, but a huge wave of emotions was rising in his heart.

Although the girl is young, she speaks and acts with great experience.

With such threats and inducements, a person with a unstable mind would have begged to agree to it a long time ago.

"Miss Bai, what you said is absolutely right." Qiu Wanchun bowed to Bai Yaoyao, "However, this matter is of great importance, Qiu still needs some time to consider it."

"Of course, this matter is of great importance."

Bai Yaoyao nodded slightly, "However, I can only give President Qiu three days. After all, the Chamber of Commerce matter is urgent. If President Qiu is unwilling to cooperate, I will find someone else. I believe that they would be more than happy to receive such a good thing."

Qiu Wanchun certainly understood what she meant. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Miss Bai. I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

"In that case, I will wait for good news from President Qiu."

Bai Yaoyao stood up to say goodbye, and Qiu Wanchun personally saw her out.

On the corridor at the side, An An was being led by a maid. When she saw Bai Yaoyao, she hid behind the maid in fear.

The maid also saw Bai Yaoyao. When Qiu Wanchun came back, she hurried forward to complain, "Master, the one who bullied the young master was that young lady just now!"

"Dad, it was that sister who beat me."

The redness and swelling on An An's face had subsided a little, but there were still traces of purple bruises where the finger marks were, which still looked particularly shocking.

Qiu Wanchun's expression was stern, "Is it her?"

"Well, that's her!"

The maid and An An both nodded heavily.

Qiu Wanchun's cheek muscles tensed up.

Lu Huaizhen brought Bai Youyou over from the other end of the corridor. Seeing that he looked strange, he asked, "What happened?"

"Take the young master down first."

Qiu Wanchun waved to the maid, and took Lu Huaizhen and Bai Youyou to the study.

He roughly told Bai Yaoyao everything she said to him, his eyes showing worry, "It is indeed as she said, the court is short of money, so they either extort money from the people or target the merchants. Now that the court has increased taxes, the only ones they will target in the future are the merchants."

Bai Youyou snorted coldly and said with a sneer: "President Qiu, who can be sure of what will happen in the future? Don't be scared by Bai Yaoyao's words."

"It's not that I'm timid, it's just that among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest class of people in this world."

Chairman Qiu looked worried and sighed heavily, "My Qiu family has been engaged in business for generations. Although we have made a fortune, we have no power or influence. If the court brings a trumped-up charge against us, we will not be able to keep these mountains of gold and silver. We may even lose our heads."

It's hard to build a family business, but it's even harder to keep it!

Lu Huaizhen glanced at Bai Youyou from the corner of his eye, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, "President Qiu, I believe you have also asked someone to investigate the character of the prince."

Qiu Wanchun nodded, "I know a little bit about it."

The prince's temperament is very similar to that of the current emperor. He is a shameless person who smiles in front of people but stabs them in the back.

It's because he knows a little bit about it that he doesn't dare to make a rash decision. If he doesn't wait until things are done, he will not only fail to gain any credit but also end up being abandoned after his rabbit has died!

Lu Huaizhen frowned, "The situation is pressing now, and it is indeed difficult to stay out of it."

Even he said so, Qiu Wanchun felt even more depressed.

"It's only because the General's Mansion is gone, otherwise the prince wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!"

Bai Youyou looked at Qiu Wanchun and felt that there was a golden halo all over his body.

The richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is really a huge gold mountain! If you don't take it under your command now, it will become someone else's mobile money vault in the future.

Her eyes rolled and a bold idea came to her mind.

Bai Youyou looked at him and deliberately tried to test him: "There are only two adult princes in the court now, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. The Crown Prince is not fit to be a king. President Qiu, if you must choose, why not choose the Third Prince?"

"The Third Prince is indeed a man of great talent, but without the General's Mansion, how can he be a match for the Crown Prince?"

Qiu Wanchun was frowning. Neither of them was good, and choosing either one would feel like a dead end.

"What if the Zhenguo Mansion supports the Third Prince?"

Bai Youyou's words startled Qiu Wanchun. He raised his head suddenly and asked, "Miss Bai, are you saying——"

"As you think."

Bai Youyou nodded and said, "The situation is beyond our control. In order to protect ourselves, our Zhenguo Mansion has no choice but to choose a good master to serve!"

Are the rumors true?

When Lu Wanchun came to Beijing, he asked people to gather some information. They all said that the third prince had hooked up with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He originally thought it was just a rumor.

Now that the people from the Zhenguo Mansion have spoken it themselves, why shouldn’t he believe it?

Lu Wanchun showed a happy expression, "A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. Since the Duke of Zhenguo is interested in the third prince, then I don't have to worry."

"In addition to this matter, I would like to ask President Qiu to do something else."

From now on, they are all on the same boat. Qiu Wanchun thought she was talking about the food and fodder, so he laughed heartily and said, "If it's about the food and fodder, you don't have to worry about it. I will take care of it myself."

"No."

Bai Youyou said directly: "I have a Yun Ni Square in my hand, and I plan to open it throughout the Great Zhou. I would like to trouble President Qiu to help introduce those business friends to me."

"Yun Ni Fang is yours?"

Qiu Wanchun was not shocked by the previous events, but the Yun Nifang incident made his eyes widen with surprise.

He had heard of Yun Ni Fang in the capital even when he was in Jiangnan, especially the things from Yun Ni Fang, which were praised by everyone.

This thing is unique in the world, and any businessman can see its value. I didn't expect it to belong to the little girl in front of me.

Bai Youyou nodded and told Qiu Wanchun all her thoughts, which shocked Qiu Wanchun even more.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wonderful, wonderful!"

If what she said is true, within half a year, the Yun Ni Fang will be able to spread throughout the Great Zhou!

"President Qiu still needs to help introduce this matter."

"Why do you need Qiu to introduce Yun Ni Fang? You just need to spread the news and those merchants will come to you!"

That was a golden chicken that laid gold. Not only other merchants, but even he was eager to get in on the action.

"President Qiu is well-informed and has a keen eye for talent. I'd like to thank President Qiu for this matter."

"Don't worry, I will take care of this for you!"

It's winter and the snow is white. There's biting cold wind outside, but it's warm as spring inside with the heating on.

Bai Yaoyao wore a white Liuxian dress that was custom-made at a high price, and under the name of the prince, she spent a huge sum of money to book the entire Juxian Building.

Being able to provide a place in the imperial examination is a temptation that would make any merchant come to verify its authenticity.

However, after a long time, only a few merchants came to Juxian Building.

The curve of Bai Yaoyao's mouth gradually declined as time passed. She ordered Bi Tao, "Go get someone to check out what's going on!"

The post was sent out two days in advance. Those people were invited to come to the capital, so logically they should have come.

Bitao asked someone to investigate. After a while, the person came back and reported that the man was invited to Jufulou by Bai Youyou.

"Bai Youyou?" Bai Yaoyao's face suddenly darkened. "Why did she invite those merchants?"
