Chapter 23: The marriage contract between 23 and King Xuan refers to the belly marriage?
Although I love gold, it would be too boring to lie in such a home all day long. Isn’t the smell of copper too strong?
Also, where did this family come from with so much gold?
Bai Susu was full of doubts, but fortunately, Mrs. Bai slept with her tonight.
Aren't there many, many questions that can be known through Mrs. Bai, who loves her so much?
Hearing Bai Susu raise these questions, a trace of sadness flashed in Mrs. Bai's eyes.[
This daughter of hers is really stupid and crazy!
However, seeing the curiosity in her daughter's eyes, she calmed down her emotions and spoke softly.
Bai Qi's ancestor made his fortune by mining gold mines. All 120 gold mines in the entire prosperous dynasty belonged to his family.
Of course, having such an industry owned by a businessman was a threat to the royal family of the prosperous dynasty.
The Bai family also knew this and knew that the emperor had murderous intentions towards them.
So, he took the initiative to offer 120 gold mines to show his loyalty.
Seeing that they were so sensible, the emperor temporarily lowered his guard.
The emperor bestowed upon the Bai family the honorable sinecure of Duke of Jin.
The gold mining rights will still belong to the Bai family, but they will pay high taxes.
However, after this, the Bai family received the approval of the Holy Spirit and got an official position, so they started doing business smoothly.
Shift the focus of business from gold mining to monopolizing the country's salt, silk and other businesses.
Finally became the richest man in the prosperous dynasty.
Bai Susu finally understood why the Bai family was full of gold. It was because of gold mining.
"Then, what happened to the engagement with Prince Xuan?" she asked again.
Mrs. Bai's eyes flashed slightly, and a hint of sigh flashed through her. Bai Susu knew that there must be another story inside.
The last monarch of the prosperous dynasty was named Ren Lingfeng. Although he was a talented and strategic monarch, he suffered the only major defeat in his life.
There is a powerful country called Disang adjacent to the prosperous age.
Ren Lingfeng went on a personal expedition, but was surrounded by Di Sang in Julu Garden for seven days.
The only reconciliation condition proposed by Di Sang at that time was one hundred thousand taels of gold. However, at that time, there was internal division in the prosperous era. The emperor wanted to seize the opportunity to seize power and was unwilling to use the gold to redeem Ren Lingfeng.[
At the critical moment, it was Bai Qi's father, Bai Deyi, who took out all the gold in the family and sold all the valuable treasures in the family at a low price, and finally managed to collect 100,000 taels of gold to redeem Ren Lingfeng.
