Five-year-old cute baby: traveled back to ancient times and became a grandmother

Chapter 393 Don’t you have any idea?
Bai Dashan: "How would I know?"

"Upper Village and Lower Village were named by themselves."

Li Xing had a good idea, but he didn't expect that Bai Dashan would not respond.

After a pause, he quickly explained, "To be honest with Shopkeeper Bai, I only studied in school for half a year, and I know a limited number of words. I can't think of a good and suitable name, so I want to ask for your advice."

"I have no objection. My opinion is not important at all." Bai Dashan: "You villagers should discuss it among yourselves. You are the village chief, so you can decide for yourself."

It’s not that Bai Dashan doesn’t know how to name it, but if he were to name it, the meaning would be different.

Some things can be touched, some things don't need to be touched.

If he gets stuck, will he care or not?
If there is any supervision, there are explanations as to the extent to which it will be supervised and what the relationship will look like from the outside.

Everyone knows that the name of Taohua Village was decided by my aunt. It seems that she chose the name, but when she turns around and talks about it, others will only think that it was my aunt's idea.

The people in Taohua Village are most averse to others taking advantage of them, so of course they would not easily agree to such things.

Seeing this, Li Xing could only say awkwardly: "I discussed this with the villagers before, and some villagers suggested calling it Xiaotao Village."

As he spoke, he tentatively looked at Bai Dashan's expression.

Bai Dashan frowned for a moment, then relaxed his brows quickly: "You guys can make your own decision on this matter."

Li Xing did not continue to speak, and only said: "Yes, yes, I will discuss it with the villagers later."

As soon as Bai Dashan left, Li Xing and others gathered together and explained some of the situations, and also brought up the issue of the village name for discussion again.

"Although Shopkeeper Bai didn't directly say that the name Xiaotao Village is not good, I can see it."

As soon as Li Xing finished speaking, a villager asked, "Didn't Manager Bai give us a name?"

Li Xing shook his head: "I specifically asked him, but he said he had no objection and let us decide for ourselves."

Upon hearing this, someone directly said: "Why not call it Xiaotao Village? It sounds nice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xing frowned and said, "If you are not afraid of being disgusted by Taohua Village in the future, you can do whatever you want."

Even though both Shangcun and Xiacun have the word "peach" in their names, most of the time people just call them Shangcun and Xiacun, so it's not so obvious.

"What status does Taohua Village have? We actually dare to call it Xiaotao Village. Isn't this clearly making the people of Taohua Village think we are overstepping our bounds?"

After all, it was ancient times, and the common people at the lower levels were accustomed to avoiding the names of those in power, for fear of breaking taboos.

Although Taohua Village is not a royal family, in Junji Town, the status of Taohua Village is no lower than that of the royal family.

It can even be said that the reputation of those royal relatives is of no use in Junji Town.

After all, it is Taohua Village that is in charge of Junji Town now, and those royal relatives and powerful families cannot even reach into Junji Town.

Of course, Taohua Village did not say that it would take over Junji Town, but everyone in Junji Town abides by the rules passed down from Taohua Village.

For example, the marriage age is pushed back, and if there is disagreement after marriage, a woman can be allowed to cancel the engagement and marry someone else; and a girl over 25 who does not want to get married for the time being can also ask to set up her own household.

For example, the use of force is strictly prohibited in Junji Town, trade is free in Junji Town, and no forced buying or selling is allowed.

For example, there is no tax exemption for three years for reclaiming wasteland, and marriage between direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations is prohibited.

At the beginning, many people couldn’t understand why cousins ​​couldn’t get married.

In ancient times, in order to gather industries and stabilize their assets, especially the powerful families would marry relatives and keep each other warm. When Taohua Village came out with this rule, it naturally made many people dissatisfied.

But Taohua Village didn't care, and didn't explain much, just said lightly: "Don't worry about giving birth to idiots and deformed children."

These words immediately stunned the dissatisfied voices.

Many people didn’t believe it at first, but they could have stopped thinking about it before they heard it. After they heard it, they couldn’t control their minds.

So many people began to think about their own situations, and after sorting them out, they soon discovered that what Taohua Village said was not an exaggeration.

It turns out that this is the reason why deformed babies are born or many cousins ​​always have few offspring.

Although family assets are important, it is very harmful to a woman's body if she keeps having miscarriages, and she cannot give birth to children. There is no point in allowing relatives to get together.

Of course, there are also people who do not believe in evil, or who do not care about the life or death of women in the family and only care about whether the industry is beneficial.

Taohua Village does not force everyone to abide by it. As for these family forces that act on their own, Taohua Village is too lazy to pay attention. They can control the heaven and earth and even control people's death.

In Bai Tao's words: "You have to respect other people's fate and not get involved in other people's karma."

Taohua Village's status in Junji Town is equivalent to that of the imperial family. Hearing this would make Taohua Village feel uncomfortable. The person who just spoke immediately waved his hand and said, "No, that won't work."

Even, fearing that his words would be heard by people in Taohua Village, he hurriedly explained: "I have never been to school, so I really don't know how to name it. I just think the word Tao is auspicious and sounds nice, and I don't mean to disrespect Taohua Village."

I don’t know where he heard it from, but important things should be said three times, so after he finished speaking, he repeated it three times: “Really, really!! Really!!!”

Seeing this, Li Xing comforted him, "There are no outsiders here. We are all from the same village. We prosper together and suffer together. The villagers know that you have no bad intentions, so they will naturally not tell others."

The others heard this and nodded in agreement.

Finally, the name was decided on, Dali Village.

When Bai Dashan found out, he asked, "Didn't you talk about Xiaotao Village before?"

Li Xing smiled awkwardly and explained, "We discussed it for a long time and decided that it would be better not to shout. We were afraid that people outside might misunderstand the situation and cause misunderstandings."

Bai Dashan nodded but said nothing.

"By the way, if anyone in your Dali Village wants to raise poultry, you can come and buy some."

Bai Dashan said with pride: "Not only do we grow good crops in our village, but we also have poultry breeds that are not commonly seen outside."

"Just raise them. We will recycle them when they grow up. We won't have to worry about where to sell them."

Li Xing was very happy: "Okay, okay, I will inform the villagers when I get back."

He thought to himself, see, it is said that only sensible people are liked, and now this good thing has happened.

This order-based farming model, also known as contract farming, was created by Taohua Village.

Before this, there was no such production model in ancient times.

If it were somewhere else, the people in Dali Village might be hesitant and skeptical, but they have seen the upper and lower villages complete such a production model before.

So when they heard what the village chief Li Xing said, they immediately became excited and said that they must do it.

There's one more chapter coming soon!
