Rebirth of the eldest daughter

She said: "Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The root of everything is profit."

"This world is inherently unfair. It's just like you and I were born into a wealthy family. We have no worries about food and clothing since we were born, but some people even have a luxury to live."

"It is unkind for the rich to accumulate wealth by squeezing the poor. Isn't it wrong for the poor to rob or steal the wealth of the rich?"

"The rich have no obligation to help the poor, and the poor have no right to receive help from the rich. We should accept this injustice."

"If we can protect the interests of the rich while also allowing the poor to benefit, this is a peaceful method that kills two birds with one stone."

After a pause, Bai Mingwei continued:

"So, our focus is not on how to snatch meat from the mouths of the rich and give it to the victims, but to make the rich give it willingly and the victims feel at ease."

Yu Jianling immediately shook his head: "How is this possible? This is really too difficult."

Bai Ming smiled confidently: "How will you know if you don't try?"

Yu Jianling was shocked: "Maybe the general has a solution."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "There are some ways, but they are not mature yet."

Yu Jianling asked: "I am really curious, please let the general know."

At this time, Bai Mingwei asked: "What do you think of businessmen?"

Yu Jianling blurted out: "A rich man who is only interested in profit."

Bai Mingwei said meaningfully: "The solution lies within."

Yu Jianling was already intrigued: "General, please do me a favor and stop showing off. I'm really curious."

Bai Mingwei said slowly: "Since ancient times, no matter the royal family, nobles, nobles, or even ordinary people, people from all three religions and nine schools have looked down on businessmen, thinking that businessmen are only interested in profit."

"In addition, the wealth and power of these businessmen have shaken the interests of the high-ranking officials and nobles, so they have been oppressed by the high-ranking officials and nobles, so that the businessmen not only have no sense of recognition, but even have a relatively low status."

“The only way for them to rise to the upper echelons is to rely on officials and seek connections with officials to gain backers and gain the power they dream of.”

"The little sesame officials of the ninth rank are even currying favor with rich businessmen and wealthy households, which shows how eager they are to get things other than money. This also leads to collusion between officials and businessmen often happening."

Yu Jianling couldn't help but say: "That's right. The merchants in Yujing City are extremely rich. They enjoy everything that we don't enjoy, but even for a dandy like me, they have to be respectful and careful to fawn over."

Bai Mingwei nodded: "If we change this situation and give them the opportunity to get what they want, then they will be willing to share the meat with the victims."

Yu Jianling was horrified: "General, you don't want to give these businessmen the opportunity to become officials, do you? You are really crazy. Looking at the history of Dongling, there is no precedent for businessmen to become officials."

Bai Ming raised his eyes slightly, his calm eyes burning with fire:

"What didn't happen before, can't happen in the future? It was like this before, so it should be like this? I just want to set a precedent!"

Yu Jianling quickly refuted her: "You don't have the power, and the court will not allow it. This matter will not work at all."

Bai Ming's smile remained unchanged: "I really don't have it, but someone does."

Yu Jianling suddenly opened his eyes wide: "You mean His Highness Ninth Prince?!"

Bai Mingwei remained silent.

Yu Jianling was so anxious that he spoke without hesitation:

"You woman, you are really crazy! Do you know how serious the consequences will be if His Highness the Ninth Prince is involved in such a thing and sets a precedent for Dongling?"

"If I had known you were so crazy, I shouldn't have come to Jiangbei. Now that I have fallen into this quagmire, it will even bring down the entire Yu family! You are so crazy! So crazy!"

Bai Ming shrugged slightly: "Prince Yu, have you ever thought about why I want to tell you such important news?"

Yu Jianling was horrified: "You just want to drag me into trouble! Drag the Yu family into trouble! Now that I know about this, I have only two choices."

"Either let me know and extinguish your restless little flame; or I will help you conceal it, or even assist you in completing this matter."

"If I choose the former, it may really cut off the livelihood of the victims. After seeing the condition of the victims, how can I do it without conscience?"

"But if I choose to help you, you will kill first and then show off. I am forced to agree under pressure. Those whose interests have been touched will inevitably fight back, and the Yu family will also be implicated!"

Speaking of this, Yu Jianling even cursed:

"You are such a vicious woman. I still respect you so much and have done so many things for you, but you actually framed me!"

At this time, Bai Yu walked in.Seeing the agitated Yu Jianling, he softly comforted him: "Prince Yu, please be patient. Ming Wei didn't mean that."

Yu Jianling was even more excited: "I'm not stupid, don't I know what she means? Doesn't my analysis make any sense?"

"Since there are no outsiders here, let's open the skylight and speak openly. If His Highness the Ninth Prince really does this, he will inevitably be involved in a terrible whirlpool of power. You are... crazy!"

Bai Ming smiled and said: "The prince's analysis is accurate word for word, but this is not my original intention."

Yu Jianling asked back: "What is your original intention?! Even if it is for the sake of the people, you cannot do such a dangerous thing!"

Bai Mingwei said slowly, word by word: "The reason why I said so much to the prince, and did so openly and honestly, without concealing anything, is not to set him up and try to trick him into trouble."

Yu Jianling snorted coldly: "Let me hear your explanation!"

Bai Mingwei remained calm: "I want to help these victims, and I also want to protect the legitimate rights of the wealthy households involved."

"That's why I came up with these unprecedented methods to solve the problem from the root."

"But I also know the difficulty of this matter, so I need partners to accompany me in the charge to set an unprecedented precedent."

Speaking of this, Bai Mingwei said loudly:

"This is not a head-on confrontation with the powerful, nor is it an ambitious attempt to leave a name in history, nor is it an attempt to gain fame and reputation for His Highness Ninth Prince through this matter, and to win the support of wealthy businessmen."

"It is a reference example for other counties in Jiangbei, and it will help countless victims in Jiangbei strive for a road with a higher probability of survival."

"It can even leave a successful example to future generations to help future generations who have lost all their livelihoods due to natural disasters."

After Yu Jianling listened, he was silent for a long time.

He suddenly laughed: "You are a madman! An ambitious madman! You are not satisfied with being the first female general in Dongling. Do you still want to set such a precedent?"

Bai Yu was about to speak, but Bai Ming slightly raised his hand to stop him.

After a while, Yu Jianling calmed down his expression and asked very solemnly:

"Why me? There are so many people accompanying you this time, and there are also forces that support His Highness the Ninth Prince. Why me?"

Bai Mingwei's answer was also very candid: "Because you are the nephew of the Queen Mother and the future heir of the Dingbei Hou Mansion. The Queen Mother cares about the world, and the ancestors of the Dingbei Hou Mansion have made great achievements in battle and are immortal heroes!"

"Even if you are forced by the situation and have to restrain your sharpness. But I believe that there is an unknown flame hidden in the heart of the prince, which is to restore the glory of the ancestors."

"The reason why our ancestors can leave their names in history and be respected by the world is not because of how good they are at fighting, but because of what they fought for."

"If the crown prince can help us complete this task and help thousands of victims, even if the world doesn't recognize it now, in our own hearts thousands of years later, wouldn't it be a feat?"

Having said this, Bai Ming paused slightly and then spoke:
"The most important thing is that the power behind the crown prince can make this matter smoother,"

Yu Jianling was silent for a while, and then he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Such a look and demeanor are completely different from usual.

He said: "I thought that my performance had made you think that you had won over me. I never thought that you would actually take such pains to say this to me?"

Bai Ming smiled confidently: "I have been on the border march. I know what subordinates are, what factions are, what cronies are, and I also know what like-minded allies are."

Yu Jianling asked, "Then what does this mean? Do you want me to be your crony or your confidant?"

Bai Mingwei said categorically: "Prince Yu is a like-minded person."

When Yu Jianling heard this, he suddenly laughed again.

But he did not agree, and just said: "The matter is very important. I can't gamble the entire Yu family. If you want me to help you, you have to let me see the possibility of this matter."

Bai Ming raised his lips slightly without any surprise.

Obviously, things were within her expectation and control.

"It's a word."

Seeing this, Bai Yu looked at the shining Bai Mingwei and smiled softly.

At this time, Cheng Bi hurriedly came to report: "Miss, something happened. Master Qin went crazy for some reason and ran to wander at the city gate. As a result, he was poisoned by the refugees. Now his life is hanging by a thread!" (End of Chapter)
