Chapter 180 [To make a fortune, go to Lantian]
ps: Although I only divided two chapters today, the number of words is three chapters. It is so slow to type in the light and dark, and it is not easy. I have to encourage me by monthly tickets... Just kidding, please give me a ticket for the next month, and recommend tickets, thank you everyone :)

Ying Quliang seemed to be extremely unfair, but in Bai Dong's eyes, it was a great good news. Old Winning is so good that he is a guy, he wants to give him a lot of wealth, and I'm embarrassed not to accept it.
It is not because of the jade produced in Lantian. The beautiful jade contained here was discovered as early as the Neolithic Age. It also experienced a large amount of mining in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The jade that was monarchs of Qin have exhausted the waters and was now even more controlled by the state. The crazy Qin State still hopes to exchange the beautiful jade here for the grain, salt, copper and iron of Shandong countries. If he dares to reach out, he will be beheaded. But there are iron ore, limestone, dolomite, and an important resource he has been thinking about day and night!
Bai Dong's idea of fighting Lantian has not been a day, but this is the capital of Meiyu, and he also needs the land for Lao Qin to train troops. Not to mention him, it is difficult for even the old tribes like the Gan family to reach in. This time, Lao Yinglian's life took Lantian as an example, and the Bai family could enter Lantian with a high profile. In order to unify the order, the power to control the people must be given, and the military should not be a problem. Now there is a special position in the new army of Lantian, called the instructor...
Ying Lian asked Bai Dong and Qin Yue people to use Lantian as a pilot this time, but in fact he had the intention of secretly helping Bai Dong, and he also wanted to make use of this kid.
Lantian has many big girls! This is because there are many jade workers among Lantian men. These people are just mining workers. If they are lucky, they will have food supplements from the state. If they are not lucky, they will have hunger. Although there are land at home, the land capacity is far less than that of other counties. When they encounter a good year, they will really eat tree bark and white soil in the year of disaster. How can they afford to marry a wife? In addition, Hexi was in a hot battle a few years ago, and there were many boys and girls in several nearby counties. Lantian naturally became a leftover woman concentration camp. Bai Dong and Qin Yue people advocated that women be pregnant at the age of 20. Lantian just met this condition and did not have to wait for three to five years. As long as he had the ability to fill the belly of the people of Lantian and even led to wealth, Lantian's big girls would become popular. Yinglian now thinks that the market in front of Baijiazhuang is hot. He thinks that this kid must have this ability and he will not misjudgment.
Ying Lian's little thoughts can naturally be hidden from Bai Dong, but it can be forgiven. The war will lead to natural disasters. As soon as the Battle of Hexi ended, Lao Qin encountered a drought. Especially in counties such as Lantian near Hexi, some places can barely harvest some grains. Some places simply have no grains. Lao Qin's report warehouse is almost exhausted, and even half of the grain stored in Liyang has been transported to the disaster area. Even Yongdu's "protecting the country" has been used up, but it has to be fully supported.
How much food will you have to be invested in a year? This is a bottomless pit! Lao Qin has no power, so he can only barely guarantee a daily meal for the victims. He can't even guarantee a severely affected area like Lantian. The victims are hungry and Lao Ying is poor and have a weak ambition. Who made Bai Dong the most famous rich man in Qin recently? Even the most stingy Meng Xibai tribes are said to have produced a lot of food this time. How can he, a great charity who promotes free affairs for the country be descended from his descendants?
The day after accepting the emperor's order, the flea girl took the Bai family's guard team and took a full 50 carriages to set off. The carriage was full of food, and each carriage was calculated as 50,000 stones. Moreover, the Bai family had already made a statement and collected unlimited grain and sent it to the hardest-hit area Lantian! The Bai family may have limited capabilities and may not be able to take care of all the affected counties. It is still possible to take care of a Lantian, "This year of disaster brings warmth, happiness to the Lantian army and the people!" Of course, this modern bold statement was just Bai Dong thought to himself. If he said it, no one would understand it, and he would treat him as a monster if he understood it.
The flea girl's guard team is responsible for the safety of the road, but the real hosts of this trip are Gou Shengzi and Du Zhi. Gou Shengzi is not a genius in martial arts, but he is naturally interested in arithmetic and has great business talent. When Bai Dong went to Longdong, this guy actually staged a good show of making money in the market.
It was he who instigated Bai Longye to leave more than a dozen best shops in the market, and then calculate the transaction situation on that day. The dozen with the best business can use these shops continuously for seven days, and then be replaced by better-business merchants in seven days. The Bai family does not collect money, but has to withdraw 10% of the profits from these merchants, which is called giving the best resources to the most capable merchants. In fact, it is a trick of using the "counter-segment" in later shopping malls. The merchants in the market originally relied on Baijiazhuang for dinner, and this move will not affect the interests of most people, and it has also secretly triggered healthy business competition. The Bai family will not have a bad reputation of "profit-oriented", but they have actually made money. Who is this kid?
Gou Shengzi and Sang Wazi were Bai Dong's best playmates in childhood, and they also followed two small tails behind Cao'er. Now Sang Wazi is promising and is Li Di's disciple. He can fight three of the raiders of the Bai Family Trading Company, and Gou Shengzi has shown a rare business talent. How could Bai Dong not be happy? Bu Rongyi is not good yet. It is her most dangerous moment. Bai Dong cannot leave, but Lantian's affairs cannot be delayed, so this time he is going to use Gou Shengzi. Anyway, with Du Zhi, the old fox, helping him, there will be no major problems. With his prestige in the military, the military will take more attention after Gou Shengzi arrives in Lantian, let the young people do it, and help them get on the horse and send them off. Bai Dong is very confident in his friends.
Du Zhi has been observing Gou Shengzi secretly. This boy named Bai Gou was ruined by his name. What a good body bone. He was half a head taller than him when riding on a horse. Although his face was a little darker, his facial features were sharp and angular. His eyes were particularly bright and terrifying. He turned around and was just an idea. He deliberately came up with a few medium-difficulty arithmetic questions for Gou Shengzi, but he was solved without a meal. When talking about the tricks of doing business, Gou Shengzi was a little immature at first, but with a little guidance, he could immediately learn from one example!
Due to Du Zhi's treacherousness, he gradually loved this boy and couldn't help but want to teach him what he learned. This boy is from the Bai family, so it is impossible to abduct the Du family. It seems like a good thing to be a disciple? That's the idea. When you see Brother Bai, you will discuss this matter. I believe that Brother Bai will give him this face.
The Moxian couple sat in a carriage. Mu Zhuobei's face shone with the brilliance that only noble ladies would have. They kept counting with their fingers as if they were possessed by the devil: "Mr. Bai is such a generous person. The salary you give you every month is much higher than that of those losers. I calculated that it is five hundred yuan a month, and there will be five thousand yuan a year. In the future, when our family has a small Moxian, we will send him to the Bai family's elementary school hall. We pay the money ourselves, and we owe too much to the Bai family, so it's not good to always take advantage of it."
"You've calculated it wrong again. It's obviously six thousand dollars..."
Mo Shi wore a black cloth eye mask, which Bai Dong gave him, saying that it could cover the one-eye that was destroyed by Mu Zhongtu, and it would be particularly scent when a man wore this thing. Mo Shi didn't know what a man's taste was, and he looked at the bronze mirror. It was really much better. He was not used to wearing this thing when he first wore it. The useless eye covered underneath always wanted to close it. Turning a blind eye was a very distressing thing. He would get tired after watching things for a long time. He always wanted to shed tears.
His eyes left the silk cloth in his hand, Mo Shi pointed out his wife's mistake. He shook his head and said, "It's good to read, but it may not be suitable for our children. Let him study with me in the future. I haven't read many books, so I'm still valued by Mr. Bai? This thing that Mr. Bai calls the 'drawing', but even Du Sikong doesn't..."
He raised the silk cloth in his hand, and the ink silk was obviously a little proud: "Did you see it? Mr. Bai also said that I will be responsible for managing the craftsmen in the future. Mr. Du and the Gouzi brothers only care about business matters. Mr. Du is a high-ranking official of Qin, but I am now equal to him, hahaha..."
"Look at how happy you are. What kind of 'drawing' is this? Let me see it..."
Mu Zhuobei reached out to take the drawing, but was rejected by Mo Shi: "No, Mr. Bai said that the things recorded on the drawing must be kept confidential. Even if they are built in Lantian in the future, he will ask the emperor to order the army to guard and protect it. You can't see it!" After saying that, he carefully hid the silk cloth into his sleeve, and he was indescribable pride on his face.
Mu Zhuobei curled his lips: "You are so beautiful, isn't it just that Mr. Bai gave me a 'draw'? What's so great about it? If you don't look at it, don't look at it, hum!"

Ying Quliang has been a little jealous recently. Qin Yue people went to Lantian, and the one who changed the medicine for his wife was Bai Dong, the "uncle".
They are both brothers who have been exhausted from blood. Bai Dong is also the benefactor of the Ying family. It was nothing at all. But Bu Rongyi blamed him for blushing when he saw Bai Dong. The location of the wound was too embarrassing. He thought to himself that the truth was "My sister-in-law and uncle help him," but he would feel uncomfortable when he saw Bai Dong. When she was uncomfortable, Bai Dong and Ying Quliang became uncomfortable. The two brothers talked intently and felt that this would not work. It would be better to leave the dressing to the servant girl in the mansion. As long as they follow the procedures assigned by Bai Dong, there should be no problems.
Bu Rongyi's situation is very good. The children of the grassland are naturally strong. Although they are not as sanitary as Chinese people, they are more resistant. The viruses in this era are not as numerous as those in later generations, and they will die if they are infected. Otherwise, in the era when antibiotics are not invented, would all the injured soldiers on the battlefield die?
Moreover, Bai Dong did the disinfection work as much as possible in advance, and used high alcohol more than a thousand years in advance. His secret liquor was 65 degrees, which was almost the same as the alcohol at 75 degrees in later hospitals. Under various reasons, Bu Rongyi's wound was not seriously inflamed. Although he had a low fever in the first few days, he used ice to cool down physically and applied the wound medicine produced by Bai Dong based on the formula of "Yunnan Baiyao", which quickly subsided the heat and toxins. Even the penicillium he buried in the soil in advance had not been used.
Seeing that his wife's body was getting better and better, he began to smell milk for the child, Ying Quliang was relieved.
Master Ying Si is a very picky baby. He never refused to eat the nanny's milk. He probably found that he did not have the familiar taste of his mother. Ying Quliang was very worried about this, so finally Bai Dong gave a tip and asked him to help Bu Rongyi squeeze out milk with his hands, and then applied it to his breast to lure Ying Si. Ying Quliang almost cried after hearing this. The dignified Qin prince learned to learn from women and breastfeed children? Brother, do you have a better way...
Bai Dong shook his head and said, "You should follow me." There are no milk bottles in this era. I can't find a rubber tree. I can't think of a way to make a substitute. Who made you his father? Who wouldn't breastfeed? Later facts proved that men can also breastfeed children. God gave men a pair of breasts, which must be useful.
Now that I finally don’t need to breastfeed the child, Ying Quliang is in a good mood. He threw Master Ying Si to his wife and maid, and pulled Bai Dong to steal half a day of leisure. The secret wine of the Bai family is a good thing. When I first drank it, I felt numb and spicy, so it was not something that people drank. But once I got used to it, drinking other wines was the same as water. He had a good alcohol tolerance and was drunk with just one bowl. It was so exciting. Today I would like to celebrate and drink two bowls!
Just drink it. Since Bu Rongyi is already very happy, he should leave the Gongzi Mansion tomorrow. It’s been seven or eight days since I saw bitter wine. This girl must have been busy at Wenhua Supermarket again. Being a strong woman is so good? It’s more tempting than your husband? Bai Dong is now starting to be jealous of the shelves of Wenhua Supermarket. In addition, Yang Zhu also sent a letter, and the chosen gentleman was about to enter the elementary school hall. He, the real head of the Bai family, should also show his face. This is a bit like a leader from later generations meeting with his subordinates. Unexpectedly, he also made these things in the pre-Qin era, which made Bai Dong feel quite friendly.
"The day before yesterday, my father summoned me to the palace and said to me, and in the future... If I am the king of Qin in the future, I will ask about foreign affairs and Zhang Qi, and internal affairs. If the country is in danger of overthrow and internal affairs are in trouble, even they have no way to do it. Guess who do you want me to ask?"
"Haha, how can I guess? Brother I'm going to get drunk, why don't I help you to the room?"
"I'm not drunk... I can still drink it! Tell you, hehehe... The father-in-law said that if he arrived, he would come to ask you, and say you... you must have a way. Heianlang, you will have a way? You... Huhu..."
He was really drunk. Bai Dong shook his head slightly and had to help him into the room. When he went out, he was blown by a gust of wind on his head. He felt the alcohol swelling up. He suddenly moved his heart and walked out of the Gongzi Mansion in a daze. Everyone in the mansion knew him and wanted to come forward to support him, but he refused. He walked towards a house next to the Gongzi Mansion as if he was a god.
The courtyard is built in a very grand manner, with angular eaves, square and thick, and the courtyard wall is connected to the Gongzi Mansion. It is obviously a very high-ranking noble family, but there is no house plaque on the door. Bai Dong is also aware of the civil and military officials in the court. Even the Lihua Palace has been in and out of several times, but he doesn't know who the owner of this house is.
I remember asking Ying Quliang’s housekeeper, but the old housekeeper smiled and did not answer. He only said that Mr. Bai should not miss the owner of this mansion, and please do not mention it to the young master, otherwise the old slave would be broken.
Just want to break your legs by asking a question? Although Bai Dong was curious, it was hard to ask again. He was a successful person in his previous life. He knew that everything was going to betray people, and it would be better to forget this matter. There are many strange things in the world. If you have to figure out everything clearly, it is not courage. It is called reckless and stupid. What other benefits can it be except that you die earlier than others?
Today, I was drunk and I walked over for no reason. But I saw two men in black standing in front of the door. One of them came towards me and bowed to him: "Please stay, please stay here, it's better if you don't go in..."
"Oh? Are you going to stop me?"
Wine is really messy. At this moment, Bai Dong's wine is rising. The more someone doesn't let him in, the more he wants to enter.
"Please don't make things difficult for me. We are also responsible for it. If you let Mr. Bai in, you will be punished heavily."
"Oh? It's so serious."
Bai Dong burped and felt his head dizzy. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two men in black: "Is it because there is something sneaky in this courtyard that you dare not let me in?"
"Mr. Bai has been wronged and waited. We are under Gong Jing. Mr. Bai and Mr. Jing are brothers, that is, the officials we are waiting for. How dare you deceive you in secret?"
"Are you from Jingjian?"
Bai Dong was stunned, but his heart became more and more confused. (To be continued...)
