But after that, when Bai Jinzhi interacted with two people again, she never felt that they would like her. She even... felt that these two people were bitches and they would be unhappy if they didn't cause trouble for her all day long.
"You are pure in mind, but not stupid. What do you mean by this..." Sima Ping spoke calmly, staring at Bai Jinzhi, waiting for her answer calmly.

After taking a shower, Bai Qingyan, with her half-dry long hair loose, sat under the lamp, reading the news from Dadu City, and listening to Liu Pinggao tell her about the situation over Bai Qingjue's side.
Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingjue separated before, and she asked Bai Qingjue to take Liu Pinggao away. Bai Qingjue knew that his eldest sister was patrolling the city, so he asked Liu Pinggao to bring back some troops to protect his eldest sister.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Now that Wang Jin is with King Zhong, King Zhong's safety will not be a problem!" Liu Pinggao said.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "How were the soldiers in the past? Doctor Hong said that this epidemic is dangerous and the degree of infection is higher than the last epidemic in our territory. Have any of our soldiers been infected?"
"The soldiers obeyed the instructions. Except for the group that settled the victims, no one was sick, and the sick soldiers have been properly accommodated. In addition, Doctor Hong's prescription was sent, so it is not dangerous. Your Majesty, don't worry!" Liu Pinggao! explain.
"Your Majesty..." Wei Zhong gave Bai Qingyan a cup of hot tea, leaned over and whispered in Bai Qingyan's ear, "The prefect of Luan Gaocheng said that the president of the local chamber of commerce said...their chamber of commerce wants to serve the country." Donate to the Zhou Ran Epidemic City!"
When the Yan State allocated cities, they thought that the cities within the territory of the Yan State were under the jurisdiction of the Yan State, so they also designated many wealthy places, such as... this Luan Gao City.
In the past, when encountering major natural disasters, the imperial court would ask merchants in wealthy areas to pledge donations. This was a precedent to follow.
When Shen Tianzhi promoted the Great Zhou government bonds in the Great Zhou city of Yan State, almost all chambers of commerce and merchants were forced to subscribe. At that time, their mentality was that the money was donated to the imperial court. It has always been the case that if the people do not fight with the officials, they will seek peace!
Later, the imperial court actually distributed the interest, which surprised these merchants.
Now that the imperial court is in trouble, the precedent is set in front of them. Instead of being forced to pledge donations like before when they purchased the bonds of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they might as well take the initiative on their own. Maybe their chamber of commerce can still get a good name, which is very important to them. The members of the Chamber of Commerce are also good.
Especially now that the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty personally came to provide disaster relief. If the Great Zhou Dynasty conquers the world in the future...the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be the master of the world. Their chamber of commerce can be regarded as leaving their name in front of the emperor, which is a good thing.
How could Bai Qingyan not understand the meaning of this chamber of commerce? Businessmen are indeed shrewd and know that being forced to donate and donating on their own initiative leave a completely different impression on the emperor. Since there is no way to resist, then choose the best option for them. advantageous approach.
A faint smile appeared on her lips: "Let the prefect take care of this matter. Then... let the prefect write down which merchants in the chamber of commerce donated how much. I want to see the list!"
What the emperor wants to see is whoever donates the most will have his or her name at the front and will be remembered most easily by the emperor. Since they are all donations and their names can appear in the emperor's place, why not be the first one? The one who can be remembered is the one who can be remembered. For example... people remember the name of the last number one pick, and they may also remember the name of the second and third overall pick. Does anyone know the name of the top two pick?
Which of these merchants doesn’t want to be remembered by the emperor? Naturally, we have to rush to be the first, second, and third place.
Bai Qingyan didn't ask how much to donate, he just said he wanted to see the list, taking advantage of the businessmen's mentality.
"Yes!" After Wei Zhong responded, he did not rush to send someone to deliver the message to Li Shou. Instead, he approached Bai Qingyan and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, the prefect... also brought some servants and maids, saying that it is Dedicate it to His Majesty!"
In fact, the prefect did not want to send servants to Bai Qingyan. These servants were all handsome young men of the right age.
Wei Zhong didn't say anything clearly, but Bai Qing said: "Let the prefect take it back and tell him... not everyone is qualified to serve me. If he does what he should do, I will naturally keep it in my heart and he shouldn't interfere." Tell him not to interfere in matters."
"Yes! I understand, I will go and send a message to the prefect immediately!" Wei Zhong exited the upper room where Bai Qingyan was.
"You've worked hard too." Bai Qingyan looked up at Liu Pinggao, "Go and have a rest. After we go to the last city tomorrow, we...will return!"
"Yes!" Liu Pinggao saluted Bai Qing, looked up at Bai Qingyan, who was already black and blue, and whispered, "Your Majesty, please rest early!"
Now that the epidemic in the Yan Kingdom has been dealt with according to the previous methods of handling the epidemic in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it can be considered to be under control, and the refugees have been resettled. After the disaster, Bai Qing said that the cities most affected by the epidemic will be exempted from taxes for three years, which should be able to Slowed down.
After all, it was Doctor Hong and the doctors who came with her to the Yan Kingdom who had the greatest credit this time. Doctor Hong and the doctors worked almost non-stop to research the medicine, and finally found the most effective medicine to treat the epidemic.
When Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingjue, and Shen Tianzhi inspected the city, they applied the Shuoyang epidemic prevention method to the Great Zhou city of Yan State, and it was very effective.
After Liu Pinggao left, Bai Qingyan looked at the news from Dadu City and fell into deep thought.
Murong Ping and Xie Xun, the second princes of the Yan Kingdom who were hostage to the Great Zhou Dynasty, had been staying at home since they went to the Great Zhou Dynasty. This time they learned about the epidemic in the Yan Kingdom and actually asked to see Ayu, wanting to help. , Ayu didn’t agree, so she couldn’t kneel down.
What Xie Xun means is that there are cities in the Kingdom of Yan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is no epidemic there. They want to go to those cities and do their best for the Kingdom of Yan.
Even Murong Ping said that he could stay in the capital city and let Xie Xun find a way to get some herbs and food back to Yan State to tide over the difficulties.
Seeing that the two of them were determined, Ayu pretended to say that he wanted to ask her what the Emperor of Zhou meant. He wrote a letter to her in front of the two of them and asked someone to deliver it. This dish sent them away. …
Her eyes fell on the letter sent earlier, and she knew that Ayu used the word drag.
How can we really let Xie Xun and Murong Ping go to the city of Yan State within the Great Zhou Dynasty, where the Yan army is there.
If we really let them go, we would lose the meaning of holding them hostage in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The second thing that Ayu believed in... was that Lu Yuanpeng was engaged to Wei Bugong's eldest daughter.
But this time... Bai Jinzhi personally escorted grain, grass and medicinal materials to the Great Zhou City of Yan State, but Lu Yuanpeng also asked for orders to follow.
See you next year, cuties! Ha ha ha ha! Happy New Year!
