What Yingquliang seems to be extremely unfair is simply great news in Bai Dong's eyes; Lao Yinglian is too buddy, this is to give himself a big fortune, I'm embarrassed not to accept it.
Not because of the jade produced in Lantian, the beautiful jade contained here was discovered as early as the Neolithic Age, but also experienced a large amount of mining in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the exhaustion of the monarchs of the Qin State, and now it is more controlled by the state. But there is iron ore, limestone, dolomite, and an important resource that he has been thinking about for a long time!
Bai Dong's idea of fighting Lantian is not a day, but this is the capital of beautiful jade, and it is an important place for Lao Qin's military training, don't say that it is him, even the old family such as the Gan family is difficult to reach in, this time Lao Ying ordered him to take Lantian as a test example, and the Bai family can enter Lantian in a high-profile manner. In order to unify the order, the power of the people must be given, and the military should not be a problem, and now there is a special position in the new army of Lantian, called instructor
Yinglian asked Bai Dong and Qin Yueren to use Lantian as a pilot this time, in fact, he had the intention of secretly helping Bai Dong, and at the same time, he also wanted to take advantage of this kid.
There are many big girls in Lantian! This is because there are many jade workers among the men in Lantian, these people are just mining workers, and if they are lucky enough to dig up jade, they will have rations from the state. Bad luck. Then the whole family would have to starve. Although there is also land at home, it is a pity that the land is far less than that of other counties, it is good to meet a good year, but in a disaster year, you really have to eat tree bark and eat white soil, where can you afford to marry a daughter-in-law? In addition, a few years ago, Hexi was hot, and there were many boys and girls in several nearby counties, so Lantian naturally became a concentration camp for leftover women, and Bai Dong and Qin Yue advocated that women should become pregnant in their twenties. Lantian just has this condition, there is no need to wait for three or five years, as long as he has the ability to fill the stomachs of Lantian people, and even drive one party to become rich, the eldest daughters of Lantian will become sought-after goods. Ying Lian now thinks of the market in front of Baijiazhuang, his heart is hot, he thinks that this kid must have this ability, and he will not be wrong.
Yinglian's careful thinking naturally can't hide from Bai Dong, but it can be understood. The scourge of war will lead to natural disasters, and as soon as the battle of Hexi ended, Lao Qin suffered a drought. Especially in Lantian and other counties near Hexi, some places can barely harvest some grain. In some places, there is simply no harvest; Lao Qin's treasury is about to be exhausted, even half of the Liyang grain has been transported to the disaster area, and even Yongdu's 'national protection grain' has been used a lot, but to survive a year, how much grain must be thrown? It's a bottomless pit! Lao Qin doesn't have the strength to do so, so he can barely guarantee one meal a day for the victims, and even one meal a day in hard-hit areas like Lantian can't be guaranteed. The victims of the disaster are waiting to be fed, and Lao Ying is even poor and short-minded, who made Bai Dong the most famous rich man in Lao Qin recently? Even the most stingy Mengxibai clan is said to have produced a lot of food this time, how can he, a great good man who is free of charge for the country, be a descendant?
The day after accepting the king's order, the flea girl took the Bai family escort and set off in a full fifty carriages. The carriage was full of grain, and fifty was five thousand stones for each car, based on a hundred stones each! Moreover, the Bai family has already released the word, unlimited collection of grain, unlimited delivery to Lantian, the hardest-hit area! The Bai family may have limited ability and may not be able to take care of all the counties and counties affected by the disaster, but it is still possible to take care of one Lantian, 'Send warmth in this disaster year, and be happy for the army and people of Lantian!' Of course, this kind of modern rhetoric is just a secret thought in Bai Dong's heart, and it is estimated that no one will understand it, and if he understands, he will be treated as a monster.
Flea Girl's escort team is responsible for road safety, but the real hosts of this trip are Gou Yuzi and Du Zhi. Gou Yuzi is not a genius who practices martial arts, but he is naturally interested in arithmetic, and he is very business-talented.
That is, he asked Bai Longye to set aside more than a dozen of the best shops in the bazaar, and then calculated the transaction situation of the day, and the dozen or so shops with the best business could use these shops for seven consecutive days, and then be replaced by merchants with better business after seven days; The Bai family does not collect the shop gold, but to extract a percentage of the profits from these merchants, the beautiful name is to give the best resources to the most capable merchants, in fact, it is the later generation of shopping malls with rotten 'counter' tricks, the merchants in the bazaar were originally relying on Baijiazhuang to eat, and this move will not affect the interests of most people, but also secretly triggered a healthy business competition, the Bai family will not fall a 'mercenary' bad reputation, but actually made money, this kid is not a business genius who is?
Gou Yuzi and Sang Wazi were Bai Dong's best playmates when he was a child, and they were the two little tails behind Cao'er, now Sang Wazi is out of the house and has become Li Di's disciple, the ranger of the Bai family trading company can fight three by himself, and Gou Yuzi has also shown a rare business talent, how can Bai Dong not like it? Bu Rongyi is not very good yet, it is currently her most dangerous moment, Bai Dong can't leave, but Lantian's affairs can't be delayed, so this time he is ready to use the dog's leftovers, anyway, with Du Zhi, an old fox, by his side, there will be no big problems; With his prestige in the military, the military will take more care of the dog after he arrives in Lantian, let the young people do it, help the horse and send it for another ride, Bai Dong is very confident in his little friend.
Du Zhi has also been secretly observing the dog leftovers, this kid named White Dog is ruined in his name, what a good body and bones, riding on a horse is half a head taller than him, although his face is darker, but his facial features are sharp and angular, and his black and white eyes are especially bright and scary, and it is an idea in a turn. He deliberately came up with a few moderately difficult arithmetic problems for the dog, and as a result, he was solved without a meal; Speaking of the way to do business, at first the dog leftover was still a little immature, but as long as he gave a little guidance, he could immediately draw inferences!
With Du Zhi's treacherous slip, he gradually cherished this kid, and couldn't help but want to teach him what he had learned in his chest, this kid is a member of the Bai family, it is impossible to abduct the Du family, and it seems to be a good thing to be a disciple? That's the idea, and when I see Brother Bai, I'll discuss this matter. I believe that this face-saving white brother will still give it to himself.
The ink line couple sat in a horse-drawn carriage. Mu Zhuobei's face glowed with the brilliance that only a noble lady would have. As if enchanted, he wrenched his fingers and kept counting: "Mr. Bai is really a generous person, and he pays you a lot more every month than those who lose money." I calculated, it's 500 yuan in a month, and 5,000 yuan in a year, and in the future, when our family has a small ink line, I will send him to the Bai family's Mengxue Museum. Let's pay for it ourselves, we owe too much to the Bai family, and we always take advantage of it. ”
"You've miscalculated again. It's 6,000 dollars."
Mo Xian wore a black cloth eye patch, which was also given to him by Bai Dong, saying that it could cover the single eye that was slaughtered by Mu Zhong, and the man would have a special taste when he wore this thing; I don't know what the ink line is a man's taste, I have looked at the copper mirror, and it does look much better, but I am very uncomfortable when I first wear this thing, and the waste eye that is covered below always wants to close, and it is a very distressing thing to open and close my eyes, and I will get tired after looking at things for a long time. I always want to shed tears.
The gaze was removed from the silk cloth in his hand, and the ink line pointed out his wife's mistake. Shaking his head, he said, "Reading is good, but it may not be suitable for our children." In the future, let's let him learn engineering with me, I haven't read many books, and I am still valued by Bai Gong? This thing is called a 'drawing' by Bai Gong, but it doesn't even have Du Sikong."
Raising the silk cloth in his hand, the ink line was obviously a little proud: "See? Bai Gong also said that in the future, I will be responsible for managing the craftsmen, and Du Gong and the dog brothers will only be in charge of business matters. Duke Du is a great official of the Qin State, but I am now equal to him, hehehe"
"Look at what makes you happy, what kind of 'drawing' is this? Let me see too."
Mu Zhuobei stretched out his hand to get the drawings, but was rejected by the ink line: "No, Bai Gong said, the things recorded on this drawing must be kept secret, even if it is built in Lantian in the future, he will also ask the king to order and send a large army to guard and protect, you can't see it!" After speaking, he carefully hid the silk cloth in his sleeve, and his face was indescribably proud.
Mu Zhuobei pursed his lips: "You're so beautiful, isn't it just that Bai Gong gave you a 'blueprint'?" What's the big deal, don't look at it if you don't look at it, hum! ”

Yingquliang has been a little jealous lately. Qin Yue went to Lantian and changed the medicine for his wife, Bai Dong, the 'uncle'.
They are all brothers who have melted their lives, Bai Dong is the great benefactor of the Ying family, it was nothing, it is strange that Bu Rongyi blushes when he sees Bai Dong, the location of the wound is too embarrassing, and he thinks in his heart that 'Uncle Sister-in-law helps him', and Bai Dong will be uncomfortable. As soon as she was uncomfortable, Bai Dong and Yingquliang were also uncomfortable, and the two brothers chatted heartily, and they all felt that it was not okay to go on like this, and the matter of changing the dressing should be handed over to the servants in the house, as long as it was carried out according to the procedures explained by Bai Dong, there should be no problems.
Bu Rongyi's situation is very good, the children of the grassland are born with strong health, although they are not as clean as the Chinese people, but they are more resistant; The viruses of this era are not as diverse as those of later generations, and they will be fatal if they are contaminated, otherwise in the era when antibiotics were not invented, wouldn't all the wounded soldiers on the battlefield die?
Moreover, Bai Dong also did as much disinfection as possible in advance, and used high alcohol more than a thousand years in advance; His secret liquor is 65 degrees, which is not much worse than the 75 degrees of alcohol in the hospital in later generations. For various reasons, Bu Rongyi's wound was not seriously inflamed, although he had some low-grade fever in the first few days, he used ice cubes to physically cool down, and then applied the wound medicine that Bai Dong made according to the formula of 'Yunnan Baiyao', and the fever quickly subsided, and even the penicillium that he had buried in the soil in advance was not used.
Seeing that his wife's body was getting better day by day, and she began to be able to smell milk for her children, Yingquliang was relieved.
The young master is a very picky baby, and he refuses to eat the mother's milk, probably because he finds that there is no familiar taste of his mother; Yingquliang was so worried about this, and after that, Bai Dong pointed out, and asked him to help Bu Rongyi squeeze out the milk with his hands, and then smeared it on his mimi to lure Ying Si to eat, Yingquliang almost cried after hearing it, the dignified son of Qin Guo learned from women to milk children? Brother, you have a better way to do it
Bai Dong shook his head and said You are still from, there are no milk bottles in this era, I can't find rubber trees, and I can't think of a way to make a replacement, who made you his father? Who doesn't milk you? Later facts proved that men can also breastfeed their children, and God gave a man a pair of Mimi, which must have its use.
Now that he finally doesn't have to milk the child, Yingquliang is in a good mood, and throws the young master Yingsi to his wife and maid, and pulls Bai Dong to steal half a day. The Bai family's secret wine is a good thing, it feels numb and spicy when I drink it for the first time, and it is not something that people drink, but once you get used to it, you can drink other wine like water, his amount of wine is very good, and he is drunk with only one bowl, it is too energetic, I want to celebrate today, drink two bowls!
Drink it, drink it, Bu Rongyi is already very good, and he should leave Gongzi's Mansion tomorrow; Even if you haven't seen bitter wine for seven or eight days, this girl must have been busy with Wenhua Supermarket again, and it's so good to be a strong woman? More seductive than your husband? Bai Dong is now starting to be jealous of the shelves of the Mandarin supermarket. In addition, Yang Zhu also sent a letter, the selected gentleman is about to enter the Mongolian Academy, and he, the real head of the Bai family, should also show up; This is a bit like the leaders of later generations meeting their subordinates, but I didn't expect these things to be done in the pre-Qin era, which made Bai Dong feel quite kind.
"The day before yesterday, my father-in-law summoned me to the palace and said to me, if I am Qin Jun in the future, I should ask about the fungus and Zhang Chan in foreign affairs, and Gan Long in internal affairs; If the country is in danger of overturning, internal and external difficulties, and even they have no way, who do you think my father-in-law wants me to ask? ”
"Hehe, how can I guess. The second brother is going to get drunk, why don't I help you to the room? ”
"I'm not drunk and still drinking! Let me tell you, Father Hee Hee said that if it was then, he would come and ask you, saying that you must have a way. Heian Lang, you'll have a way, right? You're whirring."
I'm really drunk. Bai Dong shook his head slightly, so he had to help him into the room, but when he went out, he was blown on his head by a gust of wind, and he felt that the smell of wine was a little upsurged, and his heart suddenly moved, and he walked out of Gongzi's mansion in a groggy state. The family in the house knew him and wanted to come forward to help, but he refused, as if a ghost had sent him, and walked to a mansion next to Gongzi's mansion.
The construction of this courtyard is very magnificent, the corners and cornices are drawn, square and heavy, the courtyard wall is connected with the prince's mansion, and it is obviously also a noble house with a very high status, but there is no house plaque on the door; Bai Dong is also familiar with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the Lihua Palace has been in and out a few times, but he doesn't know who the owner of the Lu Dao family is.
I remember that I once asked the housekeeper of Yingquliang, but the old housekeeper smiled and did not answer, only saying that Bai Gong should not think of the master of this house, and please do not mention it to the son, otherwise the old slave will have his leg broken.
Just ask yourself to break your leg? Although Bai Dong was curious, it was not good to ask again. He was a successful person in his last life, and he knew that everything was against others, and there would be sneakiness, so it was better to forget about it; There are many strange things in the world, if everything has to be clearly understood, it is not courage, it is called reckless stupidity, in addition to dying earlier than others, what good can it be?
Today, I drank too much wine before I walked over inexplicably, but I saw two men in black standing in front of the door, one of them came over and gave him a deep salute: "Bai Gong, please stay, it's better if you don't enter here."
"Oh? You're going to stop me? ”
Wine can really mess around, at this moment, Bai Dong's wine is surging, the more people don't let him in, the more he wants to enter.
"Please don't embarrass Bai Gong, it's also our duty to wait, if you let Bai Gong in, you will be punished heavily."
"Oh? It's so serious. ”
Bai Dong burped, felt his head more dizzy, and squinted his eyes at the two men in black: "Could it be that there is something sneaky in this courtyard, so you don't dare to let me in?" ”
"Bai Gong wronged me for waiting. We are Jing Gong's subordinates, Bai Gong and Jing Gong are brothers, that is, we are the same officials, how dare we sneak and deceive you? ”
"You're from the Jingjian people?"
Bai Dong was stunned for a moment, but his heart became more and more confused. (To be continued......)
