Chapter 50: The One-Year Covenant
Wei Yan sighed lightly and said, "Taking advantage of the time in the first month, all the salt shops in Liangcheng have been replaced by the Liu family. ”
Bai Jin picked up a withered yellow leaf that fell beside him and said: "It is also his ability for merchants to expand, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit." ”
Wei Yan frowned and said, "Then do you know what the result will be if the Liu family continues to expand?" ”
Bai Jin sneered, "It doesn't matter if I know it. But your Wei family needs the Liu family, and the Liu family also needs the Wei family, and I think this is the reason why the Liu family can make a fortune. Of course, if the Liu family continues to develop, the people of the Hou Mansion are afraid that he will control the business lifeline of the entire fiefdom. ”
The soup woman in his arms almost cooled down, and Bai Jin stretched his sour hand: "The entire Jingnan has been supported by the salt of the lake until now, and the Liu family is in control of most of the merchants near the lake, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Liu Mansion in Jingnan City has become the most powerful family under the Marquis of Jingnan." ”
"I've heard a long time ago that the emperor wants to cut the domain." Bai Jin smiled and said, "At present, in the vassal states around the imperial court, Jing'an is the best to use the sword, in the current form, as long as the forces of the imperial court unite with the Liu family, then half of the victory has already been won." ”
"The white girl knows quite a few things." Wei Yan stood opposite her with a smile, "Not only do I know that Jingnan's economic lifeline is all about salt, but I also know that the emperor intends to cut the domain." ”
Bai Jin directly pretended not to hear this, and bypassed: "As for the Yun family, the Yun family spread the salt out of Hailing in three years, and within seven years, it has already crisscrossed the Central Plains, and it became a tribute salt in the tenth year, I guess the prince is worried that the head of the Yun family will come to Jingnan in person." ”
"It's the imperial court, it's the Liu family, it's the Yun family, Your Royal Highness, if you make a mistake, this move will be a dead end." Bai Jin said softly.
"According to you, how is this game going to be solved?" Wei Yan pulled away his robe and sat in front of her.
"It's very simple," Bai Jin smiled like a flower, "I think in three months at most, the Bai family's salt shop should be able to open in Jingnan City, and I hope that the prince will not be embarrassed about the matter of salt introduction." ”
"Yan Yin has to go to the county government of Jingnancheng, if the procedures are complete, the county government has no reason not to do it for you."
Bai Jin said: "The truth is indeed the truth, but I'm afraid that someone will interfere with it." ”
"That's it?"
"That's it," Bai Jin nodded confidently, "If the prince can trust me, there will be no foothold for the Liu Mansion in Jingnan City within a year." ”
"Within a year?"
Wei Yan's gaze staring at her was suddenly as sharp as a knife, but Bai Jin didn't dodge at all: "It only takes a year." ”
He smiled, got up and said, "Remember what you said today, I'll give you a year." ”
When the words fell, he turned and left.
Bai Jin pursed her lips, and she already heard Bai Shan's voice calling her: "Sister." ”
Only then did she turn around, the Luo brothers and sisters and Bai Shan were separated from her by a few meters.
Bai Jin quickly looked back behind him, Wei Yan and Yun Luan were long gone.
"Sister, didn't you go to the teahouse? How can you go faster than us? Bai Shan muttered.
Bai Jin smiled, there was a circle of guards to open the way for them, and they would naturally walk faster than them. She lied casually, "I came from the other side where there are fewer people." ”
"I see," Luo Yaqi caught a glimpse of the cloak she was wearing, "I didn't wear such a cloak when I saw Sister Jin'er come before." ”
Only then did Bai Jin notice the cloak that Wei Yan had put on her when she sat down in the pavilion just now, and she said quietly: "The dew is heavy at night, it's too cold, I bought it casually on the side of the long street." ”
She said this, Luo Yaqi didn't want to say anything, looked at the rugged mountain road and said: "Don't go up so late, the time is almost up, and my father should be in a hurry at home." ”
Everyone nodded, they were a little tired after walking around like this, and there were few people here, so they could call a carriage to go back home.
Bai Jin walked for a long time, and when he returned to the courtyard, his legs were a little sore, although he didn't want to move now, but he still folded Wei Yan's cloak carefully and put it into the drawer on the side for the time being, and after the shower, he couldn't wait to go to the soft collapse.
I was about to sleep comfortably reading a few pages of a notebook, but there were still a few knocks on the door outside.
Slightly hesitant, she had already met Luo's and Uncle Luo just now, Bai Shan should also be in her yard at this time, who else would come to the door at this time?
Bai Jin shouted vigilantly: "Who." ”
"Sister Jin'er, it's me."
This voice should be Luo Yaqi, Bai Jin took the coat next to him and put it on, and asked the maid to open the door.
When he opened it, he carried a huge stone slab and came in directly.
Bai Jin was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he took a closer look at it, wasn't this the stone Go board that had been placed in the garden before.
"I couldn't find any other chessboard at home, so I had to move this one."
As soon as she saw this thing, Bai Jin already understood a little in her heart, and she smiled apologetically: "Brother Qi'er, I said that I can't play Go, even if you move the chessboard here, I won't." ”
Luo Yaqi didn't talk nonsense with her: "An hour ago, you should have been with someone else when you left us on Flower Street." ”
Before Bai Jin could open his mouth to refute, the man continued: "And that person should still be a man." ”
"The cloak he gave you is in the drawer on the west side, because the dust on the hand is wiped clean......
"Stop!" Bai Jin hurriedly interrupted him, "What do you want to do?" ”
Luo Yaqi moved the chessboard forward straightly: "Play a game of chess with me." ”
This kid is really persistent, Bai Jin thought that if he didn't play a game of chess with him, he would really tell the story.
She doesn't really care about the name festival, but she still has to avoid unnecessary trouble.
waved his hand to let the maid out, and Bai Jin said, "Did you bring the chess pieces?" ”
Luo Yaqi nodded and took out two chess boxes from his sleeve.
…… How this stuff is stuffed in.
Bai Jin gave Bai Zi to him very generously, and Luo Yaqi snorted lightly and pushed Bai Zi in front of her and said, "I don't want to take advantage of my sister." ”
is really upright, Bai Jin wanted to laugh in his heart, since he insisted on giving Bai Zi to her, she took it without pretentiousness.
Luo Yaqi's chess skills are steady and steady, if Bai Jin is against him at his age, he will naturally not dare to underestimate him, but after so many years, her chess skills are no longer what they used to be, and it is almost a cup of tea time to close the order.
Luo Yaqi was defeated.
