Chapter 380: Accidentally Becoming an Imperial Merchant
Bai Ling, who has earned a lot of silver, has become more famous.
In the past, the people called the goddess doctor, and they also talked about Bai Ling's good deeds, and they hated that there were more people like Bai Ling in the world, and they became the imaginary rivals of many women.
Bai Ling later healed several princesses, and only then did the people in your circle really recognize Bai Ling's medical skills, and knew that her medical skills were higher than those of the imperial doctor.
It's Concubine Xiao's hidden illness, which can't be publicized to the outside world, but the royal family and people in your circle, how can they not know?
No matter how high your status is, you are afraid of getting sick or injured, few people dare to offend a person with superb medical skills like Bai Ling, and it is best to be able to make friends.
So after Mrs. Li came to give a thank you gift, many people went to Shangshu Mansion to visit Mrs. Li, and immediately after returning home, people prepared generous gifts to visit Bai Ling to find medicinal jade.
"Begonia, you command to go down, from tomorrow...... No, from now on, I will close the door to thank customers, and just say that the medicinal jade in my hand has been sold out, and there will be no new batch in a short time. Bai Ling was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and he was not interested in making money.
The price of jade can be said to be sky-high, and Bai Ling sells small pieces, the smallest one is only the size of a fingernail, and it is also worth 80,000 taels.
But there is no shortage of rich people in the capital, so I am afraid that if I don't buy it, I will lose face.
Moreover, the medicinal jade is really effective, whether it is to honor the elderly, keep it for yourself, or give gifts is excellent, which is more popular than health pills.
There is nothing more surprising than being able to nourish oneself without taking medicine.
In the past few days, the guests at home have been continuous, and the gifts received are soft, and the silver earned is higher than the annual turnover of all the industries under Bai Ling's name, which can not stand the tiredness.
When dealing with these noble ladies and daughters, you have to go around a few circles to speak, and you have to be cautious when you encounter a high status.
What made Bai Ling speechless the most was that for a piece of jade, those noble ladies who originally came together actually started to fight, and they all fought with each other, and those who couldn't win wanted to use their identities to suppress Bai Ling.
didn't blast people out, he was already taught by the Bai Ling family.
"Girl, the rice that the master asked the dart bureau to transport has arrived, there are ten bags in total, do you want to go and see?" Haitang answered, reported when he came back, and handed the letter brought by Bai Sanshu to Bai Ling.
"I won't go to see it, you have someone bring some to show me the condition, and tell the kitchen to steam the rice with new rice at night, and the whole house will taste it together." Send two more bags to the eldest lady, and the Han Wangfu will also send two bags. Bai Ling commanded.
Seeing that the sky was sitting straight, holding the rules, Bai Ling felt that his waist was almost no longer his own.
"Fortunately, I'm dressed as a peasant girl, I don't usually have to be so well-behaved, otherwise I wouldn't have to be tired of breaking my ***!" Bai Ling stretched out his arms, moved his sour waist, and casually threw the box containing the silver ticket beside him into the space.
After a few days of hard work, he got millions of taels of silver, and Bai Ling really didn't know how to spend it.
After feeling more comfortable, Bai Ling opened the letter and read it.
Naturally, the care and greetings from my father and mother were indispensable in my heart, and I also talked about the yield of rice, etc., and finally asked Bai Ling to decide what to do with these rice as soon as possible.
Haitang came back soon, only brought a bowl of raw rice to Bai Ling, and said with some uncertainty: "Girl, why is this rice different from what we usually eat?" ”
Most of the rice in the south is short and thick, and the color is also yellow.
But the rice in the north is slender, and each one is crystal clear, which looks pleasing.
"It's really done." Bai Ling happily grabbed some rice in his hand, smelled the faint aroma of the rice, and said with a satisfied face: "Just smelling this taste, you know that it tastes good." Begonia, hurry up and let people send it to the Han Mansion for a few more generations, and ask the son of Shangguan to dedicate it to the palace on my behalf. ”
Bai Ling didn't want to be rewarded, but the emperor has been paying attention to the Bai family's nongsang, she can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, waiting for the emperor to ask for it, right?
"You go and get busy first, and I'll go to the study to write a letter." Bai Ling's exhaustion was swept away, and he explained and walked towards the study.
That night, Baifu was eating rice that had just been beaten down for a short time, and they all said that it was delicious, with a better taste and a strong aroma than the rice they had eaten before.
One of Bai Sanshu's family letters was given to Liu Xusheng by the Liu family, and before dinner, Bai Ling had already handed it over to Liu Xusheng, and the letter at home was also read by Bai Xiaoshan.
"Second sister, I guess we can't sell this rice ourselves, at least this year." After listening to Bai Ling's arrangement of a few bags of rice, Bai Xiaoshan sighed.
"I regret sending it to the emperor first, if I accidentally become an imperial businessman, it will be a big loss." Bai Ling sighed.
"The second cousin doesn't need to worry about this, the Bai family is from a farmer's family, and there is a lot of land under his name. Moreover, the Bai family is now a foreigner, that is the official family, even if he wins the name of the imperial businessman, it will not affect his cousin to participate in the scientific examination. Liu Xusheng reassured.
Bai Ling didn't know much about this kind of thing, and he was afraid of being turned into a businessman, so he had been buying land, for fear that it would affect Bai Xiaoshan's future.
Although the sons of merchants can also participate in the imperial examination, most of them are not qualified to be officials, at least the imperial court will not reuse them, so as not to use official authority to accumulate wealth.
"Since the yield of rice is gratifying, it is also possible to breed aquatic products in the rice fields, but it can be popularized on a large scale, which is beneficial to people's livelihood. When the rice yield is high next year, the second sister will not be worried about not being able to monopolize the business of North Rice. Bai Xiaoshan said with relief.
"Is your second sister a poor person?" Glaring at Bai Xiaoshan angrily, Bai Ling touched his chin and said, "But you can think about it, our family's previous business was all in cooperation with the Duan family, so it is difficult to open it." If we monopolize the sales of rice this time, we can expand the way for our families. ”
Seeing Bai Ling pondering, Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng glanced at each other tacitly.
In terms of business, they only know the surface, so don't give random advice, so as not to disturb Bai Ling's train of thought.
Han Wangfu.
Princess Han, who has always eaten a small amount, actually ate an extra bowl of rice today, but she didn't move a few bites of food.
Princess Yayang's stomach has become smaller, and now she can't eat much, so she can only smell the rice and swallow saliva.
"My cousin-in-law is really amazing, it's winter wheat, and it's rice growing in the north, but this kind of food is better than what I used to eat, and I thought that what I used to eat was inferior food." Princess Yayang stared at the white rice road.
As a princess, whether Princess Yayang is in the palace or in the Han Palace, the usage is excellent, and the specifications are also there.
No matter how rare it is, Princess Yayang rarely has a greedy mouth, but today is an exception.
"You go and ask that girl, what is the yield of North Rice, and if it is promoted to the entire Zixiao City next year, will it be enough." King Han ate two more bowls of rice today, and his waist was straight, and he didn't dare to say that he had eaten too much, which was too embarrassing.
"Okay." Shangguan Yu responded, there was just one more bowl of rice, and it was time to consume it.
The matter of harmony came to an end, but Shangguan Yu wanted to send her relatives off by order, just to talk to Bai Ling, whether to send her back to the north by the way.
The New Year is approaching, and it is time to settle the matter of marriage.
