Chapter 389 Move Out

"Yes." Bai Tao nodded: "Growing crops is not a one-time deal, unless you don't want to continue farming."

These high-yield grain seeds cannot be kept for farmers, and farmers have to purchase them from the Baijiabao caravan once every season.

Therefore, if countries want to obtain high-yield grain varieties, they must not only please the Baijiabao caravan, but at least they cannot offend the Baijiabao caravan.

With the Baiyu Army around, no matter who they are, no matter how much they covet high-yield grain varieties, they can't do anything to the Baijiabao caravan.

During this epidemic, the Baijiabao caravan set up checkpoints to guard Junji Town and repeatedly repelled forces with ulterior motives, further demonstrating the capabilities of the Baiyu Army.

"Auntie, what should I do with the visiting card containing five kilograms of crayfish?"

Bai Tao opened the post and couldn't help but frown. It was the Qin character from this world.

She closed it and threw it to Bai Dashan: "Read it to me." She was already an old lady, with so many younger people around her, why should she learn Qin characters herself?

All these twists and turns made her feel dizzy.

Bai Tao would never admit that she was lazy.

"Hey!"

Bai Dashan read it word by word, and after he finished, he reached out and wiped his forehead.

He is no longer the illiterate farmer he used to be, but every time his aunt asked him to read an article, Bai Dashan still couldn't help getting nervous.

Not to mention him, everyone in Taohua Village was nervous, fearing that their poor performance would disappoint Bai Tao.

Bai Tao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow after hearing this: "You passed by here and knew that we moved to Junji Town, so you wanted to come to Taohua Village to reminisce about the past?"

"Aunt, that's what the visiting card said." Bai Dashan said, and then muttered, "Aunt, they didn't even say their names properly at the beginning, and they still have the nerve to talk about reminiscing about the past."

Bai Tao: "Dashan, do you think they are going to change their minds and take back the jade mine they gave me?"

It’s no wonder Bai Tao thought so. After all, she, Taohua Village and those two people didn’t seem to have much to reminisce about.

"This..." Bai Dashan was stunned for a moment: "Is it impossible?"

How can you give something away? It’s been so long and you still want it back.

"who cares."

Bai Tao: "Please ask someone. If they have this intention, find a reason to reject it."

Just kidding, the money and goods were already settled in the beginning. If I want to go back on my word, it depends on whether she agrees or not.

"Yes, auntie." After Bai Dashan responded, he thought, if these two five-pound crayfish really have this plan, then don't blame them for being rude.

Seeing that Bai Dashan looked unhappy, Bai Tao comforted him, "Dashan, you don't have to think too much. Aren't they here to inquire about high-yield grain varieties? They probably came for this."

"Yeah." Bai Dashan responded obediently, thinking to himself that this was the best way.

"By the way, Auntie, these days, more and more people want us to open a store. When do you think is the right time?"

In addition to customers, the people who urge the store to open include the store employees.

After not being at work for such a long time, it would be a lie for the employees of the Baijiabao Caravan to say they were not nervous.

Some employees would stay at the store entrance for an hour or half an hour from time to time, or clean the store entrance.

Some employees even have to check on the store once in the morning and once in the evening, otherwise they won’t be able to enjoy their meals. They are all afraid that when the store opens, they won’t receive any news and their jobs will be taken away by someone else.

In fact, the Baijiabao caravan has already opened a few stores sporadically, but they are mainly engaged in grain, oil, wine, and cloth, in order to stabilize the market prices of necessities and prevent some merchants from disrupting the market in Junji Town. "In the next two days, other stores will be opened one after another."

Since the disease is well under control, it is no longer a big problem. Opening for business can also help people get over the panic sooner.

"Auntie, is the seafood store open too?"

"Open, but the goods are limited. Just say it's a special situation." Bai Tao: "But customers entering the store still need to wear masks, and the store's hygiene issues must be paid more attention to."

Bai Dashan nodded heavily: "Yes, aunt, don't worry, I will never forget it."

In fact, even if Bai Tao didn’t limit the quantity, the villagers would still do the same.

"Auntie, there are more and more people recovering from illness at the resettlement site. How do we arrange for these people?"

Speaking of this, Bai Dashan felt a little overwhelmed.

You said these people are really strange. You escaped to save your life.

Now that the disease has been cured and he has a house and fields in his hometown, it is outrageous that he does not go back home but stays in the resettlement site.

These people stay at the resettlement site but they don't completely stop working. They collect herbs, do laundry, and even cut wood. It's difficult to drive them away even if you want to.

“Are there still not many people willing to go home?”

Bai Dashan shook his head: "Auntie, not many people are willing to leave."

In order to allow these people to go back and forth, the Baijiabao caravan even paid for the travel expenses out of their own pockets, but the effect was still not good.

Bai Tao: "Didn't you notify all places to arrange officials to pick them up?"

Population is the foundation of a region's economy. Many people died due to the spread of the disease before. If these people are not brought back, nine out of ten houses will be empty.

Without people, the fields would not be cultivated and would soon become deserted.

In ancient times, it was much more difficult to improve the economy of a region than it is today.

Bai Dashan: "We have already notified them, and people from all over the country have come. A small number of people are willing to go back, but many are still unwilling to leave, especially those whose family members have almost died, or whose entire families are in resettlement sites."

"Auntie."

Bai Dashan called out, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Auntie, many people have applied to stay in Junji Town and want to live near our Taohua Village."

I have heard about the treatment of people in Futao Shang Village and Futao Xia Village, and that Junji Town has a high degree of freedom and is now extremely rich.

This is also the main store of all the shops of the Baijiabao caravan. The caravans traveling back and forth can bring many opportunities. In a word, if you stay here, you will not starve to death as long as you are diligent.

Bai Tao was stunned when she heard this. At this time, it was most important for fallen leaves to return to their roots, but she didn't find it strange.

In fact, Junji Town now has the same status as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in Blue Star China. Who doesn’t yearn for a good life? Once you come here, it’s very difficult to leave.

After thinking for a while, Bai Tao said, "Junji Town is a no-man's land. If they really want to stay, it's not impossible."

"But, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. We should investigate these people thoroughly, and those who commit crimes must go away."

After a pause, she continued, "By the way, Dashan, go back and move our village sign outward."

I'm afraid that there will be more and more people in Junji Town in the future. Even though Taohua Village is not small now, there will be descendants in the future. As an aunt, she has to consider the descendants of the villagers.

Bai Dashan was stunned for a moment. Move out?
Is that what he thought?
Soon, Bai Dashan came back to his senses, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth raised happily: "Yes, aunt."
