Bai Gui, a native of Luoyang in the Central Plains during the Warring States Period, was named Dan and had a courtesy name. He was good at doing business and was known as the "Shangzu". He was a minister under King Hui of Wei, and was good at building embankments and developing water conservancy.

The water conservancy system around Daliang was finally improved when Bai Gui became the prime minister.

After Bai Gui's death, the Bai family members withdrew from the Wei court and devoted themselves to doing business. Together with the Zhuo family of Zhao and the Lu family of Wei, they became famous businessmen in the world.

When all countries are united, the circulation of materials cannot be separated from merchants. Even in Qin, which does not attach much importance to business, it still cannot be separated from the role of merchants.

The silk pottery sold to the extreme west through Qin every year, the income brought to the Qin treasury clearly records the internal history account book.

Bai Feng's tall father was Bai Gui, but he was not a legitimate son and could not inherit the main industry of the Bai family. Fortunately, Bai Feng himself had business talents, and with the capital of Weibo, he earned a huge industry after twenty years of hard work.

The direct descendant of the Bai family, whose business is mainly luxury goods such as pearls, jade and treasures. Bai Feng is different, and he devotes himself to making food and becomes the largest grain dealer in Wei.

He controlled other businesses through his hidden name, without showing any water or leaking, and made a fortune in silence.

No one would have thought that Bai Feng, who was so low-key that he didn't pay attention to the door lintel, was hiding in the unblocking that was so calm that he could no longer be calm.

"General Meng visited late at night and had never been far away to welcome him. He hoped to atone for his sins!"

Bai Feng is worthy of being a businessman who has been doing business all year round. He is very familiar when he meets him. His eager smile looks like a melting winter snow.

"Meng Tian was very sorry for notifying Mr. Bai in advance."

With his hands not to hit the smiling person, Meng Tian bowed politely, constantly looking at the kind Bai Feng.

Bai Feng was wearing a brown long gown, not a silk woven robe that big businessmen often wore. He faced the ordinary and walked on the street without any idea.

There are only one pair of eyes, with a clear light.

This person is hard to deal with.

If Jing Su had not sent someone to investigate Qifeng in advance, Meng Tian might not have known that Qifeng actually hid Bai Gui's descendants.

Even if this descendant is just a concubine, his life experience is not an absolute gap in the warring world. As long as you have the ability, even as a commoner, you will still have the opportunity to make a name for yourself.

"Mr.'s ancestor is Bai Gui, a wise minister of the Wei Kingdom. When I see you today, I really have the style of a ancestor!"

Meng Tian’s praise comes from the heart.

Wei Hui and Wang Zhi were very talented, defeated Qi in the east and Qin in the west, and lost their troops and generals, and abandoned their territory. Wei was able to maintain the situation, except that the foundation left by Wei Wenhou was too strong, which also had a lot to do with his later appointment of Bai Gui as prime minister.

Bai Gui may not have military talent, but is an expert in government and making money. With the Wei State's residence in the Central Plains, convenient transportation and smooth trade routes, Bai Gui collected the expenses for King Hui of Wei to rebuild the Wushu.

When Bai Gui became prime minister, Qin had already seized a lot of land from Wei, but the merchants of Wei entered Guanzhong and their money flowed back to Wei.

The treasury of Wei State was not in danger of being exhausted. This ensured the extravagant life of King Hui of Wei.

After Bai Qing left the Bai family's direct lineage, he became rich and naturally showed his ability. More importantly, Bai Qing's character is rare.

After becoming rich, ordinary businessmen were eager to walk in the night in a rich and show off so that the people of the world could learn about it. However, Bai Feng kept this low-key, taking it as the teachings of a great man in later generations, and made a fortune in silence.

After both the guests and the host and the host sat down, the older man came forward and said the day's words again.

"The Wei State Guizhou in the camp was short of food. Mr. Bai, as a Wei native, hoped to support one or two."

When the old man learned that Bai Feng was a descendant of Bai Gui, he couldn't help but feel that Bai Feng was emitting a layer of golden light, with a respectful expression on his face and a Bai Gong.

Family background will still bring a halo even in later generations. There is nothing strange about the older man's behavior.

"Bai Gong's Lord, I dare not take it."

A hint of unhappiness flashed between Bai Feng's eyebrows, and he quickly shook his head and humbly removed the reputation of the older man.

The title of Bai Gong reminded Bai Feng of Bai Gong Sheng in the history of Chu State. He rebelled and died miserably in the end.

The old man respectfully called him Bai Gong, but Bai Feng heard it, but it was divided into discomfort.

But the older man came with Meng Tian and saw that he had never read any books, so he was not good at scruples with him.

"What's wrong with Mr. Bai's mind about borrowing food?"

Even the older man's flattery hit the horse's hooves, and Meng Tian didn't know it. The ancient Chinese had too many taboos, and no one who specialized in studying etiquette could not make it very clear.

"Oh, General Meng doesn't know anything."

Bai Qing sighed and shook his head in distress: "Bai's food, because the Qin army has arrived, I want to transport it to Daliang City to be safer. Now it's all for the King of Wei to be conquered. Bai has suffered heavy losses......"

The losses are heavy, I'm afraid you are just giving Daliangyun as military rations?

Meng Tian sneered in her heart, but she was not angry.

What Bai Feng said, even if it was not true, it happened before the Qin army besieged the city. As a Wei native, Bai Feng transported food to Daliang City, which was understandable.

As early as when Li Kui was the prime minister and carried out reforms, the Wei State had a tradition of entrusting merchants to transport military rations.

"As a place where Qifeng revolves around food, there should be a lot of food stored?"

Meng Tian held the three-legged cauldron in his hand, and filled it with wine. Meng Tian didn't give a drop of it to her mouth.

Don’t eat strangers’ things casually. This teaching has been taught by mothers in later generations.

"There are some grain storage, but not many. Bai's granary has less than two thousand stones."

Bai Feng's face was as usual, his tone was calm, without any slight disturbance, and there was no sign of lying expression.

"The grain output of Wei State is not large. The grain from Qi and Chu areas needs to be turned around until after autumn harvest. Last month, the King of Chu just ordered that the grain from Chu areas would not be allowed to go north."

Bai Feng's words are half true and half false. The King of Chu is indeed destined to prevent the Chu people from selling grain abroad.

But Meng Tian still doesn’t know the situation in Chu State?

The State of Chu was named Chu, but it was just a small version of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The powerful faction within the country had vassals and princes and acted as a scheduling, and the King of Chu could not impose strong sanctions at all.

The King of Chu did not sell grain, and the princes of Chu continued to interact with merchants from various countries. The King of Chu had to turn a blind eye.

During the war, hoarding goods was a manifestation of the merchant's vision. Since ancient times, there have been many merchants who made money in war, not only Bai Feng.

Bai Feng's complaints, in Meng Tian's ears, were just a common trick.

When dealing with businessmen, if you believe in one-sided words in the businessmen, you can only act as a sucker in the end.
