Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1085 Mingwei, you have to think of a way

The candlelight in the room danced, reflecting Bai Mingwei's face.

She carefully rubbed her grandfather's legs and slowly told her what happened in Jiangbei: "Grandpa, there have been heavy rains in Jiangbei for days, and the tens of thousands of acres of fields may not be harvested."

Bai Weiyong was silent for a long time, and his voice was already hoarse when he spoke: "When will the suffering of the people in Dongling end?"

After a moment of pause, he continued: "As far as my grandfather knows, almost all the fields in Jiangbei are tenanted."

"In the event of such a disaster, tenants will definitely not be able to pay their rent, let alone taxes. I don't know how many people will die in this disaster."

Bai Mingwei heard the words and immediately said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I have asked Fifth Brother to start buying grain and prepare it for disaster relief."

Bai Weiyong frowned: "Mingwei, our family's little wealth was almost completely wiped out when your father and uncle went north."

"Even if we spend everything we have now, it will only be a drop in the bucket; with our abilities, you can't save those people, so don't put too much pressure on yourself, you know?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will do my best within my capabilities. The most important thing is that I will not abandon the people of Jiangbei."

Bai Weiyong put it clearly: "Since you have made arrangements, then you came to my grandfather today just to inform me about this. Is there anything else?"

Bai Mingwei said in a serious tone: "Grandpa, my granddaughter has found out that the first person Beiyan came into contact with was the prince."

"It was the deal between the prince and Beiyan that led to the fact that when Li Xianzhao took office, Qin Fengye used Li Xianzhao to make money."

"The most important thing is that before the disaster in Jiangbei reached my granddaughter, the prince and Qin Fengye were discussing destroying the dam built by his grandfather in order to deal with his granddaughter."

Many words need not be explained in words, but Bai Weiyong understands them as soon as he hears them.

He closed his eyes and asked, "Then what?"

When he spoke, his voice trembled.

It can be seen how sad and angry he was at this time.

Bai Mingwei also stated her purpose: "Grandpa, my granddaughter is afraid that she will violate the ancestral precepts and participate in the struggle for imperial power."

Bai Weiyong did not blame Bai Mingwei for a moment, but just said: "In the civil and military dynasties, who can be wise enough to protect themselves and stand aside? Your decision can be understood by my grandfather. So, who is the person you want to support?"

Bai Mingwei said word by word: "His Ninth Highness, Liu Yao."

Bai Weiyong questioned: "Mingwei, my grandfather never doubts your decision. But does this Liu Yao have the qualifications to be an emperor?"

Bai Ming shook his head slightly: "Before I went to Northern Xinjiang, I didn't have any. Even now, I may not be able to compare with the princes."

Bai Weiyong asked: "Then what do you like about him?"

Bai Mingwei replied solemnly: "Be kind and kind."

Bai Weiyong was silent for a long time, and then said: "If you think he can do it, then you can do it. Now you are the leader of the Bai family, and my grandfather will not interfere with any of your decisions."

Bai Mingwei told her plan: "Grandpa, granddaughter will use Jiangbei disaster relief to cultivate the sense of responsibility in His Highness Ninth Prince."

"In the frontier group, he experienced the cruelty of war and the hardships of soldiers; I believe in the Jiangbei group, he can learn how to be responsible for the people."

Bai Weiyong said: "Just do it, my grandfather fully supports you."

Bai Mingwei continued: "Grandpa, my granddaughter's decision is to gamble with the future of the Bai Mansion. Once this fails, the Bai Mansion will also be implicated."

Bai Weiyong looked at Bai Mingwei deeply: "If my grandfather goes to death with you at that time, there will be no complaints; but you must do your best to protect the innocent people in your family."

Bai Mingwei's voice was hoarse: "My grandfather's support means everything to my granddaughter."

Bai Weiyong said: "As long as your heart is not corrupted by interests, no matter what you do, grandpa will support you. Grandpa is proud of you."

Bai Mingwei said with guilt and apology: "Grandpa, my granddaughter shouldn't disturb you with Jiangbei's affairs, but rather than let this news reach your ears from others, my granddaughter would rather tell it herself."

Bai Weiyong patted her hand: "You should tell your grandfather that he has provided numerous disaster relief throughout his life and has a lot of experience." "Since this matter may fall on you in the end, then my grandfather will tell you these experiences. When you do it, it will become much easier."

Bai Ming responded with a smile: "Grandpa said, granddaughter listen."

Bai Weiyong began to speak in an orderly and logical manner, taking everything into consideration.

Grandfather and grandson talked for a long time, until Bai Weiyong was exhausted and fell asleep unknowingly. Only then did Bai Mingwei and Lin help him go to bed to sleep.

Coming out of Bai Weiyong's house, Bai Mingwei told Mrs. Lin who sent her off:
"Auntie, I just told my grandfather some bad news. Please pay close attention to my grandfather's emotional changes recently."

In fact, Bai Mingwei knew that according to his grandfather's wisdom, it was impossible to be ignorant of the facts in Northern Xinjiang.

I'm afraid I've already had suspicions, and all I need is proof.

That's why Grandpa Shicai was so calm, as expected.

Because of this, she chose to confess.

She also knew that Yuan Wu would not let go of this opportunity.

She didn't want this kind of news to reach her grandfather's ears from a small person.

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin expressed her understanding: "A big girl must have a big girl's way of doing things. Don't worry too much. I will take good care of you, Master."

Bai Mingwei said seriously: "Thank you all the time, aunt and grandma."

Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "As a family, we don't talk about foreign things."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "I listen to my aunt."

Mrs. Lin comforted her again: "Your grandfather is in very good shape recently. Since he left the court, he has looked away from many things."

"Today, your grandfather is unable to do anything about the world's major events, but he hopes that his children and grandchildren will be safe."

Having said this, Ms. Lin held Bai Mingwei's hand: "Miss, your safety is the greatest comfort to me."

Bai Mingwei held her hand tightly: "Auntie, I know."

……

a few days later.

Jiangbei's poems flew like snowflakes to Emperor Yuan Zhen's desk.

At the same time, Emperor Yuan Zhen also faced the threat from Xiao Chongyuan and the urging of Yuan Wu.

But Emperor Yuan Zhen could not let go and let Bai Mingwei remarry Xiao Chongyuan.

There was no way he could conjure hundreds of thousands of bottles of wine out of thin air and hand them over to Yuan Wu to complete the transaction.

It happened that at this time, Jiangbei encountered another disaster.

There was blood again in Chengming Hall, and people were panicked for a while.

At this time, Liu Yu still failed to find out that he was drunk, which made Emperor Yuan Zhen unwelcome. For the first time, he said such angry words that he wanted to depose Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was so frightened that he clamped his tail and did not dare to enter the palace and harm Emperor Yuan Zhen.

Shen Zian and others, who were responsible for providing drinks and completing the transaction, were finally led to Bai Mingwei step by step in desperation.

Shen Zian looked at Bai Mingwei with a sad look on his face, filled with guilt and pleading:
"Mingwei, you have to think of a way. If you can't get the money, the people in Jiangbei will have no hope.'
