The eldest daughter brought a bowl of bone broth, with a few green leaves floating on top of the soup, and sat down in front of the bed, ready to feed it to her mother.

Zhao Nu broke free from Bai Gui's arms, sat up straight, and reached out to pick up the bowl. The eldest daughter didn't let it, but Zhao Nu insisted. The eldest daughter had no choice but to let go. Zhao Nu took the bowl and sent it to her mouth tremblingly. Outcome! Because his body was too weak, the soup in the bowl spilled.

"Mother!" The eldest daughter cried and held the bowl from below and handed it to her mother's mouth.

Zhao Nu took a sip of it, but choked again and kept coughing.

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! ……”

Bai Gui gently patted Zhao Nu's back from behind and persuaded, "Don't worry! No hurry! No hurry! ”

Zhao Nu coughed and drank again.

Under the psychological effect, she felt that her body was much better, and she had the strength to speak.

After listening to Bai Guanren's words, everyone was a little relieved.

Oh, yes! It is impossible for the old man to be so reckless and let his granddaughter and niece get married now. Saying that you want to get married, that is just forcing you to agree.

But! The truth is this, what if the children are not grasped together? What if they imitated adults and ate the forbidden fruit?

On Zhao Nu's side, things are settled, and there is no trouble.

Everyone came out of the room and went to the living room to discuss the next thing.

Right now! The main thing to do! One! Hurriedly sent someone to Yan Kingdom, notified the cottage, and explained the situation. Two! Hurriedly sent someone to the depths of the northern prairie to chase Lema and others to explain the situation. Three! Hurriedly sent someone to chase Uncle Wu and the others back.

Uncle Wu led more than a dozen people to the north, and after reaching the northernmost side, he divided his troops into multiple routes and searched in the east and west directions.

Uncle Wu was very familiar with the terrain of the grassland, so he asked everyone to look for it separately, gather at the agreed place at night, and walk west from the shape of a fan. And the people who go to the east take the same way to find it. If you can't find it, go back to the place.

So! The way to the east, there is no need to be announced.

If someone finds it, everyone is not in a hurry. At night! Bai Gui set up a banquet to entertain everyone, especially the middle-aged man dressed as a steppe man.

This middle-aged man dressed as a steppe man, Bai Gui didn't know him, and the other party didn't know Bai Gui. But! The other party knows Bai Gui very well, although he has not met.

He is a friend of his father-in-law, Lema Grassland, and is a businessman who specializes in the business of nomads in the northern grasslands.

He didn't know Baekyu, but! has been in contact with the shopkeeper who is in charge of Yan Guo's business. Lema, on the other hand, is responsible for protecting the safety of this caravan.

This time! He accepted the commission of the steppe people in the north and asked Lema to go out and set horses in the north.

In the far north, there was a tribe that produced a fierce horse that was difficult to tame, and almost no one could catch it. How many years have passed, this fiery horse has become a "wild horse" and a black sheep.

It has ravaged countless mares and bred countless untamable ponies. Right now! Almost became a pity.

Soon it was winter, and the black sheep returned, preparing to spend the winter around the tribe and steal the herdsmen's horse feed.

So! In order to eliminate the pest, the herdsmen asked the middle-aged man to bring a letter and ask Lema to go and set the horse.

For the fierce horse and the thousand-mile horse, the herdsmen are reluctant to kill it.

Although Lema is very old and not as agile as he was when he was young, he is not inferior to young people in terms of strength and other aspects. Furthermore! He has a lot of experience in setting horses.

Lema took this opportunity to bring the juniors out for training.

If no one invites him, Lema will come to the prairie every year. It's just that! It won't go due north. He would not have gone to the far north without being invited.

It's too cold in the far north, and you have to pack warm clothes before you go there. Without preparation, it is difficult to survive the night on the prairie.

"I have admired the name of the white official for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" The middle-aged man said.

He didn't say what was on the scene, but! Words from the bottom of my heart.

"Prizes! Overpraise! Bai Gui said what he said on the scene and responded politely.

"I really didn't expect it! You can meet the white officials here! I? How many times I have been to Lelao's cottage, I have always gone with the idea of seeing you. Outcome! All disappointed. ”

"Hehehe!" Bai Gui smiled: "I rarely go over there anymore!" Too busy to go. This is not? I'm also planning to take some time to visit in the near future. Not only to visit the old man, but also to see Le Yeqing and them. And also! My wife Jiang and my children are all over there. It's been so many years, and you should have seen it......"

"Yes! You? White officials! Alas! The middle-aged man sighed: "They are all looking forward to you like the stars and the moon!" ”

"Hehehe! I? I'm sorry for them! Sorry kids! I owe them so much! I'm not a good son-in-law, a good husband, and a good father! ”

"I heard! Jiang blamed herself for a long time, and later learned that her brother was safe, so he was fine! Alas! White officials! I'll serve you! ”

"Where? Where? ”

"Since we met by chance this time, it's fate! Good! White officials! I was just going to ask you! What should I do? In order to make the business in the north bigger? Although I am also a businessman, I specialize in the business of the north, and I am also the largest businessman. Can me? I think I'm a failure, compared to the white officials, I'm a failure! ……”

Although he is the leader of the northern business, he has never made the business bigger and more popular. So! He really wanted to ask Bai Gui how to do business?

He had consulted Bai Gui's shopkeeper in charge of Yanguo's business before, but the shopkeepers couldn't say it well, and they couldn't solve his doubts. So! He has always hoped to meet Bai Gui and Bai Guanren and ask Bai Guanren in person.

The shopkeepers also told him: If you want to make your business bigger and stronger, you can only consult the white officials. They! They are just helping the white officials to do things, and how to operate and make decisions still depends on the white officials.

"Hehehe!" Bai Gui smiled: "I can't do it better!" It can only be said! Business in the north is not easy to do, and it can't be big. ”

"White officials!" When the middle-aged man heard this, he was a little paralyzed on the spot.

When the white officials said this, they almost sentenced the business in the north to death.

He asked incredulously, "Why?" ”

"Due north, the land is sparsely populated and the weather is cold, which is one reason. And one more reason! Agriculture could not develop in the north, and there was only one crop a year. People in the north are confined to their homes almost all year round, and they come over with a fire in winter, and if they don't go out, where does the business come from? ……”

After listening to Bai Guanren's analysis, the middle-aged man was paralyzed again. But! If you think about it, you think that's exactly what happened. Due to geography, climate, and sparse population, you can't develop a business at all.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are businesses. Without population and agriculture, nothing can develop.

Here's why the north can't develop: there is no population, agriculture is underdeveloped.
