Yunfei also didn't expect that the trend of rumors would be so rational.
Although there were reasons why he sent people to interfere, the people also unanimously favored the Bai family.
This is the benefit of reputation!
At the same time, those who have girls in their families who are around 13-16 years old are starting to get anxious. If in the past, they could not afford the poll tax, they would never think of protecting girls.
Nowadays, girls can not only earn their own money and pay taxes, but also support their families. It is obviously impossible for them to give it to others for free!
Even if you choose to recruit a son-in-law, you can't give the girl away for nothing.
So a blind date operation started in the city.
Everyone is eyeing the young men who work in the Bai family. If they can succeed, wouldn't they be well matched?
Suddenly, there was a craze for marriages in the city!
In order not to affect the work, they also scheduled the wedding after work.
Yunfei didn't know how many invitations he had received, and there were wedding banquets to attend every night.
After most of the single young teenagers have gotten married, the remaining girls are still worried.
The gap between male and female ratios is still too large.
In previous years, military service would also be called for, and young and strong men were taken away in large numbers.
There has been no levy in recent years.
Because of the chaos in the court, which military camp the conscripts were assigned to became a hotly debated topic, so they simply stopped recruiting.
No one can take advantage.
The reputation of those students was so bad that even the women from the merchant families in the town looked down upon them.
After all, he has no talent, poor character, and offended the Bai family, so he has no value at all.
The Bai family is not the richest family, nor does it have any powerful power.
But his reputation is very high, and his words of benevolence and righteousness make people in Ningguo from eighty to three years old admire him.
Especially the women, they regard the Bai family as their only salvation.
So it is conceivable that it can't be shaken by just the slander of a few talented people.
…………
As the children grow up day by day, the threshold of the Bai family is almost being leveled.
There are also good men among them, but Yunfei and the three ladies always feel that they are not satisfied enough.
Maybe it's because, after all, he has doubts about the marriage that his daughters are not happy with and only depends on the conditions.
When the three children grew up safely to the age of 14, the eldest son of the Song family finally received good news.
His Highness Seventeenth's great cause has been accomplished.
The note in Yunfei's hand only contained this sentence.
He smiled, then placed it on the candle and burned it to ashes.
On the second day, he ordered people to return all the portraits in the house to the matchmaker. Girls from their Bai family will only marry the one they love!
People outside don’t quite understand.
Now that the two daughters of the Bai family are almost old enough, why don't they hurry up and get married?
Could it be that Mr. Bai is willing to let them be casually said to be married by the government?
It shouldn't be.
It was not until three months later that the new decree from Beijing was delivered that the people reacted.
Sure enough, the rumors were true, and Mr. Bai really had something to do with Beijing.
So well informed.
The general meaning of the new decree is that the new emperor will ascend the throne, grant amnesty to the world, reduce land taxes by half, and abolish the two official marriage and poll tax laws.
There are also a series of reforms such as land reclamation and support.
With that rumor in mind, Yunfei also wisely revealed that the Bai Family Pharmacy has been cooperating with Xinhuang for so many years.
Thank you to His Highness Seventeenth for sheltering me for many years and so on.
Soon, the new emperor's benevolent deeds spread among the people.
The reputation is even greater than before.
Ning Kang sat in the splendid hall, listening to the report of the First Master Song, feeling satisfied.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Master Bai, you do have a delicate heart."
"Yes, even if His Majesty never mentioned it, he took the initiative to give you the credit to improve your reputation among the people.
Nowadays, the people are very happy about His Majesty's enthronement, and they are as happy as the Chinese New Year. "
"Since they believe in me, I will never let them down."
The eldest son of the Song Dynasty knelt down and saluted, saying, "My emperor is wise."
…………
It is basically the practice of every emperor to carry out a purge when a new emperor comes to power.
It not only eliminates dissidents, but also establishes power.
So Ningkang is no exception.
On the first day of the dynasty, new laws were promulgated and a few of the most disobedient ones were beheaded.
Then he announced the opening of Enke to recruit talents for the court.
This year, Bai Qingyan also came to an end.
The fifteen-year-old scholar won the first place.
However, he did not attend after that.
What is surprising is that he does not want to be an official.
However, Yunfei was not too surprised. He had already seen that his son wanted to go into business. Maybe he didn't want to disappoint Du Qingliu, so he didn't say it out loud.
This time I was able to recognize my own heart clearly because the mother and son talked openly for a long time and finally let go of the shackles in their hearts.
Although the Bai family is still a businessman, they are an imperial businessman.
As we all know, merchants and imperial merchants are different. Merchants are merchants, while imperial merchants are already equivalent to scholars.
Even though he had changed the conditions, the new emperor still chose to make the Bai family imperial merchants because he also couldn't live without those special medicines.
Therefore, the current medicines are sent to the Royal Pharmacy and sold by them.
It’s pretty much the same as before, but now it’s public and the level is a little higher.
The price remains unchanged.
The price ordered by Ningkang has not changed. He is not a big deal. It is impossible for him to change the price after he ascends the throne.
Anyway, the medicines in Ningdom are used to win over people's hearts.
The real money comes from selling drugs to other countries.
Although other countries have also studied these medicinal powders and made similar ones, they have never been able to produce such effective medicines.
The doctors can only say that there are two or three medicinal materials that may not be available in the market and they do not know them.
In other words, it cannot be copied, only imitated.
The difference between copycat and genuine.
The problem is, the genuine ones are not expensive, so who would choose the copycat ones?
Therefore, there is no need to worry about selling the medicinal powder produced by the Bai family!
Not short of the people of Ningguo.
If you want to make money, you have to bring back what you have outside. If you bring back what you own, your money will not increase.
…………
Bai Qingyan took over the family's royal merchant business. Although he was not a scholar, he could still be regarded as someone working for the royal family.
Isn't this more comfortable than going to Shangougou to be a county magistrate, and taking ten or eight years to get promoted?
This is how Yun Fei persuaded Du Qingliu, so her hope for her son to succeed cooled down.
I am no longer obsessed with wanting my son to win the top prize.
As for Lulu and Miaomiao, there is no need to worry about being forced into marriage and they will already go wild!
Their mother couldn't bear to take care of it, but she still had to help cover it up.
For example, at this time...
Yun Fei looked at the two letters from home with wild handwriting in his hand, and rubbed his brows helplessly, "They are following Qing Yan to the capital, how can you feel relieved?"
"Don't worry, Lulu's martial arts was taught by my husband himself, and she is accompanied by her younger brothers and sisters, and is escorted by the royal caravan. What's the point of worrying?" This was Zhao Baozhu, who was very ambitious.
Zhang Dujuan, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement, strongly expressing that Sister Zhao was right and had no idea of becoming a mother.
