Chapter 380 Accidentally become a royal businessman
Bai Ling, who made a lot of money, became more famous.
In the past, people called her the goddess doctor, and they talked about Bai Ling's good deeds. They wished there were more people like Bai Ling in the world, and she became the imaginary rival of many women.
Bai Ling later healed several princesses, and then the elite circle really recognized Bai Ling's medical skills and knew that her medical skills were better than those of the imperial doctors.
However, Concubine Xiao's hidden illness cannot be openly publicized to the outside world, but how can anyone in the royal family and the noble circle not know about it?
No matter how high your status is, you are always afraid of getting sick or injured. Very few people dare to offend someone with such superb medical skills as Bai Ling. It would be best if you can make good friends with him.
So after Mrs. Li came to send a thank you gift, many people went to the Shangshu Mansion to visit Mr. Li. After returning home, they immediately asked people to prepare generous gifts and went to visit Bai Ling to look for medicinal jade.
"Haitang, please tell me, from tomorrow... no, from now on, we will close the door and thank guests. Just say that the medicinal jade in my hand has been sold out, and a new batch will not be available in a short time." Bai Ling was tired.
I am almost paralyzed and have no interest in making money anymore.
The price of jade can be said to be sky-high, and Bai Ling only sells small pieces. The smallest ones are only as big as a fingernail and are worth 80,000 taels.
But there is no shortage of rich people in the capital, but they are afraid that if they don’t buy it, they will lose face.
Moreover, medicinal jade is really effective. Whether it is to honor the elderly, keep it for yourself to maintain your health, or give it as a gift, it is very good. It is even more popular than health pills.
There is nothing more surprising than being able to maintain your health without taking medicine.
In the past few days, there have been a lot of distinguished guests at home, and I have been reluctant to accept gifts. The money I earn is more than the annual turnover of all the properties under Bai Ling's name, but it is very tiring.
When dealing with these ladies and daughters, you have to go around a lot when talking, and you have to be careful with your words when meeting people of high status.
What left Bai Ling speechless the most was that for a piece of jade, the ladies who had come together actually started fighting each other. They all started to argue with each other, and those who couldn't win wanted to use their status to suppress Bai Ling.
He didn't kick people out, Bai Ling's tutor was already there.
"Girl, the rice that Master asked the escort agency to transport has arrived. There are ten bags in total. Do you want to go and take a look?" Haitang responded, reported the report when he came back, and handed the letter from Bai Sanshu to
Bai Ling.
"I won't go to see it. You can ask someone to bring some for me to see the quality. Instruct the kitchen to steam the rice with new rice in the evening. Everyone in the house will taste it together today. Send two bags to the eldest lady. King Han
Please send me two bags as well." Bai Ling ordered.
Sitting upright and observing the rules, Bai Ling felt that his waist was no longer his own.
"Fortunately, I'm dressed as a peasant girl. I don't have to behave like this. Otherwise, I would be so tired!" Bai Ling stretched out his arms, moved his sore waist, and casually put the silver bag beside him.
The boxes of tickets are thrown into space.
After a few days of hard work, he got millions of taels of silver. Bai Ling really didn't know how to spend it.
After feeling more comfortable, Bai Ling opened the letter from home and started reading.
Naturally, he couldn't miss the care and greetings from his parents, and they also talked about the rice yield, etc. Finally, he asked Bai Ling to decide what to do with the rice as soon as possible.
Haitang came back soon and brought Bai Ling a bowl of uncooked rice. She said with some uncertainty: "Girl, why is this rice different from what we usually eat?"
Rice in the south is mostly short and thick, and also yellow in color.
But the rice in the North is long and slender, each one is crystal clear, and it looks pleasing to the eye.
"It's really done." Bai Ling happily grabbed some rice in his hands, smelled the faint aroma emanating from the rice, and said with a satisfied face: "Just by smelling this smell, I know it tastes good. Haitang, hurry up and try again."
I’ll ask someone to send it to the Han Palace for a few more generations, and ask Shangguan’s son to present it to the palace on my behalf.”
Bai Ling didn't want a reward, but the emperor had been paying attention to Baijia Nongsang. She couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait for the emperor to ask for it, right?
"You go and get busy first, I'll go to the study and write a letter." Bai Ling's fatigue was swept away, he gave the order and headed towards the study.
That night, people here in Baifu ate rice that had just been harvested. Everyone said it was delicious. It tasted better and had a stronger aroma than the rice they had eaten before.
Among Bai Sanshu's family letters was a letter from the Liu family to Liu Xusheng. Before dinner, Bai Ling had already given it to Liu Xusheng, and the letter from home was also read by Bai Xiaoshan.
"Second sister, I guess we won't be able to sell this rice ourselves, at least not this year." Bai Xiaoshan sighed after hearing Bai Ling's arrangements for several bags of rice.
"I regret sending it to the emperor first. If I accidentally become an emperor merchant, it will be a huge loss." Bai Ling sighed.
"Second cousin, there is no need to worry about this. The Bai family is from a peasant family and has a lot of land in their name. Furthermore, the Bai family is now a member of the Yuanwailang family, which means they are an official family. Even if they get the title of imperial merchant, it will not affect their appearance.
My brother will take part in the scientific examination." Liu Xusheng comforted him.
Bai Ling knew little about this kind of thing. He was afraid of being turned into a merchant, so he kept buying land, fearing that it would affect Bai Xiaoshan's future.
Although the sons of merchants can also take part in the imperial examination, most of them are not qualified to be officials, at least the court will not reuse them to avoid using their official power to make money.
"Since the yield of rice is gratifying, aquatic products can also be cultivated in rice fields, which can be promoted on a large scale. This is beneficial to people's livelihood. When the rice yield is high next year, the second sister will not worry about monopolizing the Beidao business."
Bai Xiaoshan said with relief.
"Is your second sister a money thief?" He glared at Bai Xiaoshan with feigned anger. Bai Ling touched his chin and said, "But you can think about it. Our family's previous transactions were all in cooperation with the Duan family, so
It’s difficult to put it into practice. If we monopolize the rice market this time, we can expand our family’s business.”
Seeing Bai Ling deep in thought, Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng looked at each other in tacit understanding.
They only know a little bit about business matters, so it's better not to give random suggestions so as not to disturb Bai Ling's train of thought.
Han Dynasty Palace.
Princess Han, who has always had a small appetite, actually ate an extra bowl of rice today, but she didn't take a few bites of the food.
Princess Yayang's stomach has become smaller and she can't eat much now. She can only smell the rice and swallow her saliva.
"My cousin is really amazing. She grows both winter wheat and rice in the north, but the food she produces is tastier than what I have eaten before. It makes me think that what I have eaten before is inferior.
Food." Princess Yayang said, staring at the white rice.
As a princess, Princess Yayang's expenses are extremely high whether she is in the palace or in the Han Dynasty palace, and the specifications are there.
No matter how rare the thing is, Princess Yayang is rarely greedy, but today is an exception.
"Go and ask that girl, how much is the output of Northern Rice? If it is extended to the entire Zixiao City next year, will it be enough?" The King of Han ate two more bowls of rice today, and now his back was straight, and he did not dare to say that he
It's so embarrassing to overeat.
"Okay." Shangguan Yu responded. There happened to be an extra bowl of rice and it was time to eat it.
The marriage matter came to an end, but Shangguan Yu had to go to send her off according to the order. He happened to go and talk to Bai Ling about whether he should take her back to the north.
The new year is approaching, and it’s time to finalize the engagement. (To be continued)
