Chapter 989 The sky has changed
"Third brother..." Bai Jintong called Bai Qingqi, tears constantly blurring his vision, "Third brother, you are finally back! Third brother...you don't even know, grandfather, uncle and father...and the news of your death in battle... When they came back, they all bullied our family! Eldest sister...how difficult it is for elder sister to support our Bai family!"
Since leaving the house, Bai Jintong has never cried once. It is not uncommon for her to experience strong winds and waves. She almost died at sea and she gritted her teeth and survived.
But I don't know why, but when she saw her third brother, she couldn't hold her breath. She should be happy to see her third brother alive, but she was full of grievances and wanted to tell him.
It's just that now that she's grown up, she is no longer a girl who can rush into the third brother's arms wantonly, otherwise she really wants to cry in the third brother's arms.
"It's the third brother who came back late! The third brother is sorry for you!" Bai Qingqi restrained her emotions, but her breath was still trembling.
Bai Jintong touched his tears with his sleeves, but his eyes were still blurred by mist, he bit his lower lip tightly, and he didn't look calm and capable in normal times.
The flickering lights at the four corners of the carriage made the interior of the carriage flickering. Bai Qingqi pushed the tea she poured for Bai Jintong to Bai Jintong, and whispered to Bai Jintong, "You can't stay in Xiliang for a long time. Chen Qingsheng has made arrangements All right, after returning to Cui's mansion, Chen Qingsheng will arrange for you to go to the farmhouse in the west of the city first, and you will leave Yunjing with Chen Qingsheng early tomorrow morning, and rush all the way to Qiushan Pass."
"Where's third brother?" Bai Jintong asked.
"I still have things to do in Xiliang. In addition, I asked Chen Qingsheng to bring a letter to General Shen Kunyang. When you arrive at Qiushan Pass, hand over the letter to General Shen Kunyang, and let General Shen Kunyang act according to plan!"
"Third Brother..." Bai Jintong pursed his lips, "I know that Third Brother is worried about my safety, but Third Brother...I can't leave yet. If I leave, it's hard to guarantee that the Eight Great Families of Xiliang and the Empress of Xiliang will get along with each other." I will vent my anger on the Cui Family Trading Company, the Cui Family Trading Company has been operating to this point, and the Bai family has invested too much money in it, and now it's time to see the benefits!"
Bai Jintong's eyes were firm and resolute: "Xiliang is going to be in chaos, but the money we earn... can't be less! Third brother, trust me!"
What Bai Jintong has experienced in the short few years since he left home, Bai Qingqi has already heard from Chen Qingsheng, it's hard for him to imagine... after the older brothers are gone, the younger sister has lived and died several times.
Whether it's the eldest sister or the younger sisters, they are all fighting for the Bai family's way out with their lives.
Bai Qingqi suddenly hated herself for not coming back earlier.
After a while, Bai Qingqi responded slowly: "Okay, we brothers and sisters will work together to win Xiliang for Dazhou."
The empress of Xiliang released Cui Fengnian, who had been imprisoned for a long time, hoping that Cui Fengnian would be able to lower the price of grain in Yunjing.
However, probably because of the sudden doubling of grain prices, the grain shops lowered the price of grain a little bit, and the common people came rushing to buy grain.
Cui Fengnian communicated with the eight major families to unify the market price...the price of food is dropping every day.
Sure enough, after three days in a row, there were even fewer people coming to buy food.
When the price of grain dropped to the fifth day, the people who had bought grain at a high price before felt regretful, and felt that the money wasted in vain, and their enthusiasm for hoarding grain was obviously not as high as before.
Bai Jintong knew that Li Zhijie was going to Dadu City to seek peace, and that Rong Di was about to start a war against Xiliang, and Dazhou would definitely intervene. Since Yan Guo was going to be dragged into the war situation, it was necessary to make Xiliang's food problems as soon as possible. .
Bai Jintong was thinking about how to tell the eight big families that they could quietly send people to collect the grain from the common people, but unexpectedly, the leader of the eight big families in Xiliang, the Qi family, came to the door in person, saying that he was here to visit. Cui Fengnian, who is suffering in prison, is actually... dissatisfied with the sudden drop in grain prices this time.
Bai Jintong took advantage of the situation and told the Qi family about taking back the food at low prices from the people: "In this way, the price of food has been reduced one after another, even lower than before, and the people who go to collect food will not hold the food that is falling in price every day. However, if the empress knows about this matter, I am afraid it will not be possible."
The members of the Qi family smiled, picked up their teacups, and said slowly: "Now this business, the eight major families are all involved. As long as the eight major families don't want the Empress to know, the Empress will not know..."
Bai Jintong lowered his eyes and smiled in agreement, and said, "However, Gong Xing is still worried. After all, Rongdi is eyeing Xiliang now, and the alliance between Xiliang and Dazhou is still undecided. If Xiliang really goes to war, Then... so much wealth, I am afraid that Xiliang will be defeated."
The Qi family pressed the floating tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, turned to look at Bai Jintong with a half-smile...
Bai Jintong smiled hurriedly and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Qi, please forgive me. Gong Xing is a businessman. If Xiliang falls, and there is no distinction between Xiliang and Dazhou, Rongdi or Dayan, my business..."
The Qi family also seemed to think that Bai Jintong was not a threat, but a profit-seeking businessman, so they revealed a little tone: "Don't worry, you have helped our eight families a lot this time, and your business in Xiliang will definitely be good in the future. has a problem!"
"Dare to ask Brother Qi for advice!" Bai Jintong stood up and bowed with a very respectful attitude, "I can also help my little brother to clear up my doubts."
The Qi family gave a low laugh, put the teacup on the small table beside them, and said, "Have you seen when the eight major families of Xiliang were so united? Our eight major families of Xiliang are all citizens of Xiliang. Which one The family will want Xiliang to become another country, if so... our eight major families in Xiliang will be far away from the center of power! So...you keep your heart in your stomach, the eight major families will never allow such a thing to happen."
After finishing speaking, the Qi family stood up and said to Bai Jintong: "Your method is very good. If things come to fruition in the future, your benefits will be indispensable."
Bai Jintong laughed hurriedly and said, "I'll send Brother Qi off."
Watching the Qi family get into the carriage and leave, Bai Jintong turned back to the house, her smile sank... She stepped into the main hall quickly, and seeing Bai Qingqi sitting on the main hall, Bai Jintong said: "Third Brother, Xiliang...I'm afraid It's going to change."
Bai Qingqi nodded.
From the words of the Qi family... When did the eight major families in Xiliang become so united? Both Bai Qingqi and Bai Jintong understood that Xiliang was about to change.
The purpose of the Eight Great Families is to pull down the Empress of Xiliang from the throne and replace her with another person.
Because all the new edicts of the empress of Xiliang hurt the interests of the eight major families.
Before going to bed, I checked the group and realized that a chapter was missing, so I added it! Continue to ask for a monthly ticket...
Don’t think that it’s only ten chapters, don’t look at the number of chapters, look at the number of words, others have 1,000 words per page, and the bald author has 2,000 words per chapter, which is equal to 20 chapters... It’s just that this bald man is lazy and almost thinks It will be divided into two chapters, one chapter with 10,000 words... Fortunately, the statistics!
