The villain is far from my CP!
Chapter 9
In the teahouse, Bai Xiao stood at the foot of the hall, drooping his eyes and saying nothing, while Bai Yifeng sat at the head seat, the atmosphere was like a bowstring stretched, ready to explode at any moment.
Rao has traveled all over the years and practiced without surprise, but when it comes to his sister, Bai Xiao still can't control his blood pressure for a while.
There hasn't even been an apology for pushing Aqiao to be a concubine at the beginning, and the Yan family has given some benefits and just done it hastily.
Now it is clearly the prodigal son who is entangled, and it is only the other party's one-sided opinion to solve any "urgent needs", so why is he indiscriminately blaming Aqiao again?
Bai Xiao felt powerless again.
The word "shu" is like a big mountain, and no matter how hard one tries, one will never be able to succeed.
The young man took a deep breath, took another breath, and finally said calmly, "So what does father want to say?"
"That person is probably the same as Yan's family. He has taken a fancy to Aqiao's appearance." Bai Yifeng softened his voice when he saw that Bai Xiao was sensible. "Recently, let Aqiao hide in the yard."
Bai Xiao didn't make a sound when he heard the words.
He was a little uncertain what the Bai family meant.
I thought I was called here because the Bai family couldn't tolerate Bai Qiao's "spicy" reputation, and I planned to send Bai Qiao away directly on the grounds that Bai Qiao didn't know that man well, but I didn't want Bai Qiao to hide for a while hide?
That being so...
"Aqiao's injury is just right, and it's not good to be bored in the house. Why don't I take her back to Wu County first." Bai Xiao suggested.
Anyway, the way of doing business that Aqiao wants to learn can also be taught when he returns to Wu County.
I saw Bai Yifeng was slightly stunned, his expression became more relaxed, and he even had a hint of a smile on his face, "That's fine, then pack up in the afternoon and leave tomorrow morning."
Leave early tomorrow morning?
The young man frowned imperceptibly, this must have been too hasty...
But he didn't say anything to startle the snake, he just bowed his hands:
"Yes."
Bai Xiao resigned, and walked directly to Baiqiao's residence in the backyard, and a servant followed him halfway.
"My lord, I found out. That person is indeed from the Beijing Central Open Cabinet Workshop. After coming to Jiangdu, he almost went to the grain merchants in most of the workshops to buy grain, but I don't know why he pestered the second lady."
"Okay, got it."
After the words fell, Baiqiao's yard also arrived.
Bai Xiao raised his hand to let the boy back down, and pursed his lower lip.
No matter what the Bai family's plan is, he doesn't want Aqiao to get too close to that person, so it doesn't matter if it's up to him, since Aqiao will follow him from now on, he will definitely protect her.
Full of ambition, Bai Xiao excitedly came to lead Bai Qiao home, but she never thought that the quarrel broke out without warning.
"I won't go back to Wu County with you."
Bai Qiao was still unable to persuade Bai Xiao even after his mouth became dry, so he issued an ultimatum.
The girl stood by the table with calm and strange eyes.
"Aqiao is obedient. Wu County is a large foreign trade county. After returning home, my brother will teach you how to do business."
"That's different!"
Bai Qiao was almost devastated, and just when Bai Xiao opened her mouth to say something again, she finally couldn't bear such meaningless disputes.
"Okay, let me tell the truth," Bai Qiao raised his hands to interrupt Bai Xiao, and looked into Bai Xiao's eyes, "Not only do I not want to go back to Wu County, but I also want to go to Dongdu."
"I will stay in Dongdu, find a job, buy a house, put down roots, and have my own life and hobbies."
Bai Qiao paused, and finally said: "I will never come back again."
Bai Xiao was stunned.
There was a long silence in the room, the candles on the table flickered, reflecting a palm-sized brocade box next to it, in which lay a feather he had never seen before, and on the window sill was a potted plant he had never recognized. The whole room smelled like he had never smelled before.
He looked at Baiqiao, seeing the unfamiliar firm expression on the familiar face, and he suddenly realized that Baiqiao's amnesia not only made him a stranger in front of her, but she also seemed to be a stranger in front of him.
The young man looked away as if he was burning, and clenched his fists, "Aqiao, where do you stand when you go to Dongdu?"
However, Bai Qiao answered irrelevantly: "Brother thinks, under the current situation, how should Jiangdu's grain merchants make profits?"
So Bai Xiao knew that Bai Qiao actually wanted to make a living as a businessman.
How absurd!
So he replied with a sneer: "Huainan is a major grain-producing area. After a hundred years of floods, the output dropped sharply. As long as the grain merchants in Jiangdu are reluctant to sell, they can make a lot of money."
"Ridiculous." Bai Qiao crossed his arms, eyes full of provocation, "Huainan is in trouble, people die every day, Jiangdu grain merchants want to make a fortune, let alone whether conscience can live, brother thinks the court will agree? The Yan family Isn’t it a lesson from the past.”
"That's another matter," Bai Xiao frowned. "If the court is considering intervention, unless there is collusion between officials and businessmen, at most it will be a small profit."
"Not necessarily."
"what?"
"The flood in Huainan destroyed the people's livelihood, so it was the low-grade brown rice that was most affected, not the high-grade japonica rice. Now the brown rice in Fangshi has nearly tripled, but the japonica rice has only increased by less than half. If I unite some Grain merchants, sell brown rice from other grain merchants to buy japonica rice, and when the grain price is normal in the future, sell japonica rice to buy brown rice, and the amount of brown rice in their hands can be multiplied several times.”
Bai Qiao's eyes were scorching hot, and he was flamboyant, "Brother, do you think this is still a petty gain?"
This is the "deposit" she paid to Qi Changting.
The grain merchants in Jiangdu seem to be a whole, but there will be differences where there are people. As long as Qi Changting gathers some of the grain merchants and tells them this method, in exchange, the grain merchants will sell him brown rice at a price lower than the current market price.
If the negotiation goes well, the money for the purchase of food can also be negotiated and temporarily owed on credit, and the "final payment" will be prepared for her, which is the time to raise money.
Bai Xiao was taken aback by Bai Qiao's words, but quickly realized, "But the brown rice will eventually be sold. There is a lot of brown rice in the hands of grain merchants, but the value is not..."
In the middle of speaking, he suddenly froze and his face changed suddenly.
It is naturally unprofitable to sell according to the normal process, but then a large amount of brown rice will be concentrated in the hands of a small number of grain merchants. Isn't it easy to make a profit?
At that time, the disaster situation had also improved. As long as they did not affect people's livelihood, the imperial court would probably turn a blind eye to these grain merchants who had supported the disaster area.
But, is this the idea that Aqiao came up with? !
Is the person in front of him really his sister Baiqiao?
Bai Xiao looked at Baiqiao suspiciously, when suddenly there was a cracking sound of a tree branch breaking outside the door.
"Who!"
Bai Xiao's eyes sharpened, and the door was slammed open with a palm wind, but there was no one there.
The tense atmosphere in the room was interrupted, and Bai Xiao turned his gaze back to the room, knowing that Bai Qiao had won the debate.
After the shock, he was in a complicated mood, and he couldn't find a position to refute for a while. The two said goodbye to each other in silence, and the matter of returning to Wu County was nothing.
At least Bai Qiao always thought that this matter was nothing.
It wasn't until the next day that she opened her eyes that she was lying limp in a carriage.
Outside the car, the wind lifted the curtain, and there were dense bushes beside the road, and beside the car was Bai Xiao who was riding a horse all the way.
Bai Qiao: "..."
I have a sentence of MMP here, I don't know if I should say it or not.
At the same time, the Baijia teahouse.
Qi Changting held the fan in his right hand and tapped his palm lightly. He looked at the woman who was talking eloquently in front of him. Although he still had a gentle smile on his face, his mood was probably not much different from that of Baiqiao.
The other party seems to be Baiqiao's half-sister, saying that Baiqiao is just a concubine who doesn't understand business at all. The method described in the letter to him that day was actually stolen from her. I heard yesterday that he would come to thank her. Feeling very guilty, she was so scared that she ran back to Wu County. As the first sister, she had to apologize for Baiqiao.
It is undeniable that what the woman said in front of her was exactly the same as the ghost charm that Baiqiao gave him, and she was more elegant, graceful and well-dressed than Baiqiao, but the faint smell of powder on her body really made him a little sad.
and……
"Miss is worthy of being the daughter of the Bai family's concubine, she is really talented," the young man deliberately emphasized the word "concubine", with a smile on his face, he clapped his hands in praise, "It happens that I still have something I don't understand, I wonder if I can ask the girl for advice?"
"My lord is such a shameless little girl, thank you for your respect." Bai Qing smiled slightly, not paying attention to the subtleties in the other party's words.
She looked at the talented young man in front of her, gentle and courteous, dressed in a light blue robe, elegant and elegant, with a bamboo fan so suave, she really felt that the deer was bumping around.
Bai Qing took half a step forward indistinctly, and responded shyly.
At the same time, Qi Changting leaned back unobtrusively, and asked with a smile: "How does the girl understand the word 'only for profit'?"
Seeking profit?
Bai Qing was slightly taken aback, Bai Qiao didn't mention this point yesterday.
But the sons of the gentry asked about profit-seeking, probably because they wanted to find out if the Bai family was a "good business"...
"Most businessmen are naturally mercenary, but throughout the dynasties, there have been righteous businessmen who are willing to spend their wealth for the country and the people."
All the way, Bai Qing quoted extensively, learned extensively, and talked endlessly, trying her best to turn the Bai family into what she called a charity business.
Qi Changting tried his best to maintain a polite smile, but he was already looking for an excuse to leave in his mind.
Sudden--
In the outer courtyard where the teahouse is located, chaotic noises could be heard from far away.
Bang!
The door of the teahouse was slammed open.
"Nonsense! That's not what I meant!"
The girl with loose temple hair was panting heavily, leaning on the door with one hand and her knees with the other, her little face was dusty, she was really embarrassed.
But those eyes were bright and clear.
"It's nice to say, it's flooding right now, but you let your father spend all his wealth to save the people!"
white bridge? !
Bai Qing's eyes widened.
The concubine who was supposed to run away with a guilty conscience fell from the sky, and Bai Qing's always perfect dignity couldn't help but crack.
But Bai Qiao didn't bother to care about her.
The girl gasped twice, straightened up, and solemnly said to Qi Changting:
"Profit-seeking is the nature of businessmen, but profit-seeking is not the same as exploiting the common people. It is the right solution to unify the interests of the common people and the interests of the businessmen, and take the 'profit only' of the businessmen for their own use!"
The author has something to say:
Bai Xiao: Please pat, I have a reversal!
Note: This article is superficial, including but not limited to the methods of making money are superficial, just watch it for fun, please don't worry about whether you can make money orz.
