Chapter 420: Don't be in-laws with the king
Bai Bing has no mother and sister, no playmates, and sticks to his father all day long.
But! She's fine and not annoying. When Daddy was talking to someone, she knelt beside Daddy and played. Or! Listen to the adults. If you are tired, you can sleep on your father's lap.
Usually, follow my father's side.
If she was riding a horse, she would sit in front of her father. If she was in a carriage, she would be in her father's arms.
Let her follow the guards to study, she will not do it.
"Daddy taught me! I want my dad to teach me! ”
There was no way, so Bai Gui had to take the time to teach her to read and write.
Bai Bing is very smart, usually when her father talks to people, she will remember it. She has a super good memory, and sometimes she can find it when someone else says it and the topic is lost.
"Just now I talked about the shopkeeper Wu! Who's on the other side of Shopkeeper Wu? So what? Bai Bing touched his head and couldn't remember.
Actually, it's not that she can't remember, but! There are a lot of nouns, names she doesn't know yet.
She remembered everything she had seen, and she couldn't remember what she hadn't seen.
After Bai Gui hurriedly left Handan, the capital of Zhao State, he did not go far, but came to a small town on the outskirts, lived in seclusion, continued to deal with the business affairs of Zhao State, and met with the shopkeepers who had been absent for a long time.
The white officials are coming to Zhao State, and the news has already arrived. According to the original plan, the white officials stayed in a central location to handle affairs. And this time, the central location is in the inn outside Handan City. Outcome! Because of the matter between the big girl and the lazy man, all plans have to be changed.
In desperation, I had to change to a small town called Xinji.
Xinji Town is the nearest town outside Handan, because it is on the official road leading to Handan, with the increase of passenger flow, so gradually business has developed.
The shopkeepers met with the white officials, mainly to meet the white officials and catch up with them. And the other thing is! Reporting on the income and business situation in recent years is equivalent to officials from other places returning to Beijing to report on their work.
Bai Gui can also use this opportunity to meet and communicate with the shopkeepers, and also take this opportunity to understand the market situation and the situation in various places. And then! Thinking about the entire business plan, the whole country is arranging the future business operation one by one.
Each country has its own environment, and the situation within a country and in different regions is also different. So! Only by grasping the overall situation can you start from the whole and the overall situation to run your business.
The situation in Zhao is probably like this: the country is rich and the people are weak.
After Zhao accepted a large amount of his taxes, he became rich and became Marquis of Zhao.
And under the wind of comparison and extravagance, the officials and hereditary nobles under his command are vying to follow suit. Outcome! In order to live in luxury, these people are constantly increasing their taxes and depriving the people. Outcome! The situation of the people is not rosy.
"That's it, anyway! If the hereditary nobles and officials do not die, the people will not have a good life. ”
"This is the way of the world! They believe that the world was brought down by their ancestors, and the purpose of the ancestors to fight the world is to let their unscrupulous descendants enjoy it. Otherwise? Their ancestors were stupid? Fight the world with your life? ”
"That's it! The hereditary nobles who did not work for anything, in order to live a luxurious life, only came to increase taxes when the year was better and the people had a good harvest. Anyway! They all have reasons to increase taxes. In a word: the people's life cannot be good, as long as they can live, it will be fine. ”
After talking about Zhao Guo's affairs and business affairs, the shopkeepers will mention the marriage of the eldest girl.
Most of these shopkeepers don't know about the embarrassing things that happened between the big girl and the lazy man. So! Not taboo at all.
Bai Gui has already called for no one to spread the ugly things about the big girl. So! There are many shopkeepers who don't know.
Of course! Among them are some of the shopkeepers, who have been given "open secrets". Someone took them as friends and told them. Moreover! Let them not speak to outsiders.
So! These people who know the inside story are very taboo.
Other shopkeepers don't know the inside story, so they ask this and that, and they! But he seldom speaks. Only when forced to do so, do you interject a sentence to indicate your existence and attitude.
"White officials! It's true! Your daughter's marriage is such a big deal, you don't care? You? Alas! ”
"You should know! The marriage of the children of the white officials in the future is probably like this: silent! Although he is a giant businessman in the world, he has no money. Everyone in the world thinks that white officials are rich, but only we, the shopkeepers, know! The white officials have no money! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! But! If something really happens, the white officials will take out more money than the king's country! ”
"This is the legendary 'rich country'! In fact! We are white officials, he has no personal property. But! What do the white officials want and what do they have? Hehehe! ”
"Hehehe!"
"Hahaha!"
"Ahem, ahem!"
Everyone laughed.
Oh, yes! The white official has no property that belongs to him personally, but! Whatever he wants, someone will provide him, they will be willing to provide it to him, and they will be willing to provide it to him for free and unconditionally.
was inadvertently asked about the marriage of the eldest girl by the shopkeepers, and Bai Gui's face couldn't be hung up. But! Seeing that the shopkeepers mentioned it unintentionally, they had to be cheeky and smile at each other.
"Ahem, ahem! My wife of Chu is the princess of Chu! I know! The son-in-law of the royal family is not easy to be. As you can imagine! The daughter-in-law of the royal family is not easy to do. Let alone! Who is the lazy man? He's a prince! He is the king to come. So! I don't want to do it anymore! ”
"White officials! It's not me talking about you! If this matter spreads, others will say that you are pretending! It's true! One of the treasurers said very seriously: "You don't want to marry your daughter to the future king!" Aren't you pretending? ”
"Yes! White officials! If the world knew about it, it would scold you! Anyway! The lazy son is also the son of Zhao Guo, and he is a prince-level son. The son's wife is the concubine! Is! The wedding of the crown princess, just so sneaky......"
"No sneaking!" Baekyu interrupted.
The shopkeeper who knew the inside story hurriedly played the round and said, "No sneaking! The lazy boy used more than a dozen luxury carriages to marry the big girl back, and everyone in Handan City knew about it. ”
"Yes! That scene at that time, a super luxurious lineup! ”
Bai Gui took the opportunity to say: "The lazy boy is a Taoist and doesn't like publicity. So! That's what I want, that's it. There was no wedding, no kneeling to worship the elders of the fathers and mothers, that is! Didn't alarm the lazy man's father! Your lord of Zhao Kingdom! Hehehe! ”
A shopkeeper said politely: "This is too aggrieved! The eldest lady of our white official family, the wedding has not been held! ”
Seeing that everyone was talking to the big girl, Bai Gui had to be stupid.
