Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety Seven [Fan's Millennium Trade Route]

The noisy and hot spring plowing ceremony began. The students of Fengming Academy participated in the most important ritual of this era under the leadership of Bai Dong and the teachers. Even Ying Quliang personally helped the Quyuan Plough up and took a few steps in a pretentious manner. No matter whether he was really farming or not, the old Qin ministers participating in the ceremony were filled with colorful voices and their thighs were almost swollen.

Ying Quliang held Bai Dong with his left hand and Gan Long with his right hand. He walked up to the platform to give a passionate speech. It was probably the law that Lao Qin rewarded farming, and the status of the farmer's family would be improved with the reform... Hearing the Lord Shang say this, the representatives of the farmer even had their wrinkles on their faces cracked, especially the slaves of Meng Xibai and the three families who turned over and became free farmers. They felt that even the air they breathed became different. According to Lord Shang's words, this was the taste of freedom.

"The taste of freedom... such words are really exciting, but it always makes people feel weird when you say it from the Lord."

Bai Wugeng was also laughing, even happier than these farmers. This time, the rebellion of the three families of Meng Xibai was the one who benefited the most.

After Ying Qu Liangping destroyed the Mengxi tribes, he collected half of the land of the Mengxi families as state-owned and half of it was rewarded to the Bai family and Zhang family, which was still the big part he occupied. Although the well-field system was abolished and the Bai family soldiers were no longer supported by slaves, they had to rely on the government to allocate some money and grain to support soldiers. Next, the Bai family soldiers and the entire Yongqi Jingqi system were gradually directly controlled by Lao Qin. However, the influence of the Bai family did not weaken much, and it was actually a great blessing to no longer be cared for by the emperor.

"Don't you understand this? Such words must be taught by our uncle. I want me to say that my uncle's influence in Lao Qin is now unmatched. Is Wei Yang powerful? Is he also going to be suppressed by his uncle. You should find some time to visit the 'old man'. Now the Bai family is not as good as before. We must be supported by our uncle so that we can sleep peacefully..."

Bai Yue looked at Bai Dong on the stage with admiration. This "uncle" was so cool. It seemed that the young man who was less than 20 years old on the stage was really her dear uncle.

"Do you think I don't want to go? But the previous few times I went there, I was stopped by the butler Bai Chi, saying that my uncle was too busy recently and asked me to go there again. There was no way, I could only wait for him to be idle... Now the Bai family is a nominal hero, but in the eyes of the old Qin ministers, it is still impossible to erase the mark of the old aristocratic group. Do you think my uncle would not see me because of this?"

"With uncle's status in Qin State, how could he have any scruples? I think it's because you recognize him late, so you have to polish the character of our Yongmei Bai family... The more you do this, the more patient you need to be. If you don't see him once, then you will ask for him ten times, and then you will be a hundred times. Sooner or later, you will be moved by uncle and his family. After all, blood is thicker than water..."

"To be honest, Xijun, you are really my good friend."

***

Bai Wugeng wanted to recognize Bai Dong as his uncle and Lao Qin was well known. Bai Dong was not in the mood to take care of his eldest nephew who fell from the sky and a group of great-grandson and great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson great-grandson

Old Qin people now know that the Bai family in Yishi Village belongs to the Bai family in Yongqi. The people's wish to "recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors" is worth a lot in their hearts. Bai Dong doesn't want to go against the trend. However, the Bai family has just washed away the mark of the "rebel". Bai Wugeng was shameless and insisted on calling him "uncle". This taste was very wrong. It should be cold, just like cooking. Without being steamed and dried, it would not be tasty.

The second period of freshmen are going to enroll, including many thorny men like young masters and Silde; the Meng family is going to enter Xinjiang, and I don’t know how many things he has to worry about. The Bai family’s business is going to develop, and Mr. Xu has already laid out according to his plan, preparing to dig a big sinkhole for Wei State; there are flying eagles sending letters to Lu Zhen, and Yue State is as expected. All the nobles and officials are fighting fiercely, and half of the raids in the world have gone to Yue State to be ‘mercenaries’... In Lu Zhen’s opinion, he, the senior brother of Yue State, and the mentor of the Prince of Yue State, should he take action, don’t worry about anything else. Just give money. Now the Yue State and the nobles and officials who support Wu Zhuan are not short of anything else, but money.

This is the oligarchy caused by the power of money and the environment of the times. Bai Dong understood why Fan Li and Lu Buwei could stir up the storm. But he was not in a hurry. Whether it was the Yue people or the Xu Gong’s plan, the purpose was for his large-scale layout and for Lao Qin. It is true that he was a time traveler, but Lao Qin gave him this flesh and blood body, and it was Lao Qin’s water and soil that raised him for eighteen years!

The reply letter was sent to Lu Zhen, telling her that the time was not right, and the Yue Nu Sect still needed temporary tolerance, and Wu Zhuan also needed a growth process; now Bai Dong's main energy should be focused on the construction of Fengming Academy and the "Xinjiang". Lao Qin must become strong before he dares to let go of his hands and feet to support and even control Yue.

But now Bai Dong has to put down everything he has to meet someone, the descendant of Tao Zhugong!

Mr. Tao Zhu is the founder of the merchant, Fan Li. Now the Fan Family Trading Company is one of the most famous merchants in the world. In Qi State, he may be suppressed by Mr. Xu, but he is better than branches all over the world, and his overall strength is still above Bai Dong and Mr. Xu.

The layout of the world, the cunning rabbit's caves was a major plan set since the time of Fan Li. Otherwise, he would not have retreated, so that King Goujian of Yue could not find it, and he could also take away Xi Shi, a delicate beauty. With the usual style of the Fan family, he must have great power in Lao Qin, but it has not yet surfaced. Now that the descendants of Tao Zhugong suddenly came to write, of course, they would not invite him to drink tea and listen to the piano, but they would have to discuss major events in Lao Qin and even the whole world.

He still had enough respect for Fan Li and Bai Dong, and was also very curious about what his descendants had intent. So this time, the light chariot only brought Nie Zhu, a guard. The meeting place he decided by the other party was not unfamiliar with Yue Ji's guesthouse, and it was the small building where he had met Wei Yang.

"The Fan family dare not harm me, just wait downstairs. The other party asked me to meet alone."

Bai Dong asked Nie Zhu to wait on the first floor, but he slowly walked towards the second floor under the guidance of Yue Ji.

Yue Ji, who was walking in front, intentionally or unintentionally revealed a snow-white and greasy part of her neck. Sometimes she turned around and smiled, but no one mentioned the mysterious distinguished guest upstairs. She just recalled Bai Dong's past when the flowers filled the small building that day and saw Wei Yang in the rain. Memories are the easiest thing to make people happy, which reminds Bai Dong of the scene when he lived here. At that time, Biju opened a tofu shop opposite. Many people came to buy tofu every day, and they could go half a mile by queuing...

Yue Ji's eyes looked very complicated when she saw Bai Dong. This was a man she admired extremely, but she passed by her for various reasons. It was a pity to think about it. I just don't know if the Fan and Bai families can work together to achieve great things after their brother met him today? This is the result she most hopes to see.

The twenty-three steps were quickly finished, and what caught my eye was the open-air terrace on the second floor. Looking at the pots of spring flowers with morning dew. Bai Dong exclaimed lightly. Because of the different seasons, the types of these flowers have changed, but the location of the decoration is still the same as that day... Unexpectedly, after a year, Yue Ji still remembered her preferences. The most beautiful flowers must be placed on the guardrail. The softest color is placed in the innermost circle. In this way, people are among the flowers, and the flowers are gradually distant and heavier, which is the reason for enjoying flowers.

This is the tone that only petty bourgeois people in later generations would pursue. Bai Dong had to be placed like this on that day, just to recall the life of later generations. I didn't expect Yue Ji to be so attentive.

"Bai Zi and Fan Ti have been waiting for you for a long time."

There was a Baishi vine table on the terrace. A middle-aged man stood up from the vine table and looked at Bai Dong with a smile on his face. This is a very distinctive person. His forehead is very wide, his eyes are slender, and his nose is a bit of eagle hook. He was originally a yin vulture, but fortunately he had a national face. He had a big mouth, so it only gave people a feeling of being both loyal and treacherous.

"Have you not asked about your identity?"

Bai Dong was not in a hurry to sit down. If he was just an ordinary descendant of Mr. Tao Zhu, to be honest, he was not qualified to meet him privately, and he would not want to waste time.

"Fan Ti became the leader of the Fan family, which made Bai Zi laugh."

"So that's it. I wonder if Brother Fan invites me to come. Is it for yourself or the Fan family?"

Bai Dong smiled and sat down, took the teapot, and got a cup of tea for himself. He was quite a bit of a reversal.

Fan Ti smiled and said, "Ti admired Bai Zi's reputation for a long time and had the intention of accepting it. This is considered for personal gain. The Bai family is famous all over the world. Bai Zi has another major thing to do recently. Ti thought he could cooperate with the Bai family, but this is a business. So Ti can be said to be both public and private, killing both birds with one stone."

Bai Dong laughed: "I'm a good public-private person who can kill both the two birds with one stone, but I have no major things to do recently, so Mr. Fan is afraid that he will be in vain."

"Why did Bai Zi bully me?"

Fan Ti laughed: "I came with sincerity, and Bai Zi should treat it with sincerity. Does Bai Zi really think that my Fan family is a person with obscene ears? If this is true, the Fan family's century-old foundation would have been defeated long ago, and I am not qualified to see Bai Zi in the name of my ancestors."

Fan Ti took the tea from Yue Ji, held her hand and said, "There is no need to hide anything in front of Bai Zi, please sit down, little sister. Bai Zi laughed. Yue Ji is actually the daughter of my Fan family, named Fan Gui, and she doesn't want to make a promise. Now she is over twenty years old, but she is still waiting in the boudoir. It's because my Fan family can't stand her."

Yue Ji's face turned slightly red: "Brother, don't say that, he's fine now."

Fan Ti shook his head slightly, looked at his sister with some affection, and sighed with gaze: "Baizi, the Fan family is sincere in cooperating with you. I hope Baizi will not hide the affairs of the Western Regions."

"What can happen to the Western Regions? It's just a barren land. Lao Qin has no interest."

Bai Dong glanced at Yue Ji, and was slightly shocked. Hearing Fan Ti's words, he seemed to have some understanding of his plan. This is an extremely strange thing. When will the Fan family stop being a businessman and becoming a fellow practitioner in Jingjian?
