Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1084: You said, grandfather can hold on
In the evening, Bai Mingwei returned to Bai Mansion.

Bai Yu and Bai Jing were already waiting in the study.

In addition to the two people, there is also Mr. Gongsun.

Bai Mingwei sat at the table and said in a heavy voice: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, sir, something happened in Jiangbei."

Then, Bai Mingwei told several people the whole story.

Bai Jing and Bai Yu looked at each other and saw the crisis in each other's eyes.

Mr. Gongsun shook his head: "God's will, this is God's will..."

When a country is about to perish, there will be chaos and epidemics.

There are also monsters.

Wars are raging, natural disasters occur frequently, and treacherous ministers are in power.

These are all signs of destruction.

But what Bai Mingwei cares about right now is not these, but how so many people in Jiangbei can survive.

She said: "The national treasury is empty. Now even if the wine transaction is completed and the treasury receives a revenue, it is more likely that this money will be used on border soldiers."

"When the court is powerless, the people who will be sacrificed must be the people. If there is a riot in Jiangbei, then Dongling is likely to face internal and external troubles again."

"Thousands of people cannot starve to death, and the men who guard the borders can avoid war if they can. They must not encounter war disasters again."

Mr. Gongsun stared at her: "Girl, you want to take all these things on yourself? There is a court for disaster relief. You only need to do your job well. What does the rest have to do with you?"

Bai Mingwei looked determined: "Sir, if I can turn a blind eye, then not only will I be unworthy of being my grandfather's descendant, but I will also be unworthy of my original intention of going north to defend the enemy."

Mr. Gongsun sighed endlessly: "Even so, Jiangbei is so big and affects so many people. Can you save it?"

Bai Mingwei said: "We can't save it, but we can't give up because of this. The most important thing is that when the report reporting the disaster is handed over to the emperor, the emperor is likely to hand over the responsibility for disaster relief to me and Brother Seven. We must be prepared. .”

Mr. Gongsun said: "Tell me what you have planned."

Bai Mingwei looked at Mr. Gongsun respectfully: "First of all, the disaster is very likely to cause turmoil, and some people who can write and ink are very likely to be the ones who spread and expand the turmoil, and eventually make people panic."

Mr. Gongsun understood: "So, you want to use my influence among literati?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "That's right, sir. I hope you can write some articles to appease the hearts of these literati and try to prevent them from provoking riots with the help of articles."

Mr. Gongsun agreed: "Leave this matter to me."

Bai Ming nodded slightly, then looked at Bai Yu: "Seventh brother, although the fighting has stopped, Dongling is still noisy and the vegetation is full of soldiers."

"When encountering a disaster, the first thing the court does is not to provide disaster relief, but to send troops to the disaster site to prevent the victims from rioting. I need you to help me pay attention to the movements of the Ministry of War."

Bai Yu nodded solemnly: "Okay, leave this matter to me."

Bai Mingwei said: "I need to talk to Fifth Brother alone about the next thing."

Mr. Gongsun stood up: "In that case, I will go back first."

Bai Yu nodded slightly to Bai Ming, then glanced at Bai Jing and left the study.

After the two left, Bai Mingwei went straight to the point: "Fifth brother, have Jin Chaozui's assets started to be transferred? At what stage has it been progressed?"

Bai Jing answered seriously: "The transfer plan has been issued and is now being transferred to northern Xinjiang in an orderly manner. Everything is going well so far."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Fifth brother, be careful, be sure to do everything in detail, and don't let anyone see the clues."

Bai Jing responded: "Okay, don't worry Mingwei, Fifth Brother understands."

Bai Mingwei continued: "Also, how are the brewing materials I asked Fifth Brother to prepare?"

Bai Jing responded: "We are purchasing nearby, and we are basically ready. As long as the current wine shop is operational again, many wines that have not been produced for a long time can be brewed one after another."

Bai Mingwei said: "Very good, but I still have an important matter to leave to Fifth Brother." Bai Jing asked: "But about Jiangbei?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "I need Fifth Brother to mobilize all the industries related to Jin Chaozui and let them start collecting food."

"Be sure to quickly stockpile a large amount of food before the court and other merchants react, and then transport it to Jiangbei for disaster relief."

"So that the food will not be robbed by the court and merchants, resulting in not being able to buy enough."

Bai Jing agreed and expressed his worries at the same time:

"If this is the case, these industries may be exposed to the public. Moreover, the disaster in Jiangbei is so big that it can only be controlled by as little as 10 taels."

"Mingwei, this money may not be offset by the court's disaster relief funds, so it can only be paid out from our private treasury."

Bai Mingwei was very determined: "Fifth brother, you can make more money if you spend it, but if you lose your life, it will be gone."

"If we can't even protect the lives and deaths of people, what's the point of protecting the wealth that pours into the sky?"

Bai Jing nodded: "I understand, let's do it now. I will do my best to raise a lot of food."

Bai Mingwei said: "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, change all the industries involved into grain stores, or let them open grain stores as a cover."

Bai Yu responded one by one: "I will make arrangements for this matter. You can handle your affairs with peace of mind. If there is anything needed, I will tell you."

Bai Mingwei looked at him seriously: "Sorry to trouble you, Fifth Brother."

The brother and sister talked for a while, and then Bai Jing left.

Bai Mingwei immediately sent a letter to Wei Xiao and Jiang Ci and gave them a sum of money.

They were ordered to report on the autumn harvests of several border cities and at the same time, try to purchase grain from nearby areas and stock up in preparation for the coming winter.

At the same time, it also prevented the news of the Jiangbei disaster from spreading, and merchants quickly hoarded grain in order to make money from the disaster, resulting in them being unable to buy grain, or having to spend several times the amount of money to buy it.

After doing all this, Bai Mingwei went to see Bai Weiyong.

When Bai Mingwei arrived, Mrs. Lin was rubbing Bai Weiyong's legs.

Even at such an old age, he still knelt down beside Bai Weiyong willingly, served him personally, and asked Bai Weiyong from time to time: "Master, how is this strength?"

Bai Weiyong nodded: "The strength is just right. Don't be tired. Leave it to the servants and rest."

Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "How can you rest assured if you leave your concubine to someone else? Even if my sister is still here, she is not willing to leave it to others."

When it came to getting married, Bai Weiyong sighed: "If your sister sees what you have done over the years in Heaven, she will definitely be grateful to you."

Mrs. Lin smiled: "I have always been grateful to my sister from the bottom of my heart."

The two of them exchanged words with each other, without any words that were too intimate.

However, when they get along, there is harmony everywhere.

Only old couples who have been together for many years can have this kind of relationship.

Bai Mingwei walked in and saluted Yingying: "Grandpa."

Bai Weiyong glanced at Mrs. Lin, who quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to make tea for the eldest girl and the master."

Bai Ming said slightly: "Thank you, auntie."

After Mrs. Lin left, Bai Weiyong asked, "Mingwei, why do you look so ugly? But what happened?"

Bai Mingwei walked to Bai Weiyong, knelt down where Lin was just now, and gently squeezed Bai Weiyong's legs: "Grandpa, my granddaughter has many things to report to grandpa."

Bai Weiyong was silent for a moment and then slowly said, "Tell me, my grandfather can hold on."
