Five-year-old cute baby: traveled back to ancient times and became a grandmother
Chapter 418 Still Have the Face 2
Chapter 418: Still Have the Face to Say Something
Bai Tao certainly understood what Bai Dashan meant. This was ancient times, a time when class hierarchy was most serious.
To those in higher positions, the common people at the bottom of society are no different from ants.
It doesn't work if you say you are employed but actually don't want to do it.
Ordinary people in ancient times had no human rights to speak of. If their master was unhappy, they could be beaten or killed with just a word.
Lu Xiaohao had suffered a lot, but after all, he had been influenced by class hierarchy for many years, so he was relatively polite to Lao Zhou and the others.
Such politeness has a prerequisite. If Lao Zhou and his colleagues do a good job, there will naturally be a lot of benefits. If they mess up, they will probably end up being used as fertilizer for grain seeds.
High-yield grain varieties are of great significance to Lu Xiaohao. It can be said that in this matter, he kills ghosts if he meets one, and kills gods if he meets one.
"Lu Xiaohao still wants to take credit for this, so I dare not be careless." So Bai Tao actually has nothing to worry about.
As she spoke, Bai Tao opened the brocade box.
After seeing what was inside, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
The brocade box that Bai Dashan presented was right next to him, so when Bai Tao opened it, he saw it by just tilting his head slightly.
There were two gold bars in the brocade box, and under the gold was a letter sealed with wax.
When Bai Dashan saw the two gold bars for the first time, he became furious. Two gold bars in exchange for two watches, one of which was a Moonlight pocket watch. This Lu Xiaohao really dared to take advantage of him.
The next second, he no longer cared about the two gold bars because of the letter.
This guy named Lu didn't just say what he wanted to say directly, he actually left a letter.
You know, when visiting cards and general letters are submitted, they are checked one by one before being reported to Bai Tao.
Because Lu Xiaohao said that the brocade box contained two watches as a thank-you gift, Bai Dashan did not open it without permission. He now suspects that Lu Xiaohao has smuggled other goods.
Although my aunt is still young, there is no guarantee that the villain Lu Xiaohao will target my aunt for the huge assets of the Baijiabao caravan and the armed forces of the Baiyu Army.
Thinking of this, Bai Dashan's face suddenly turned bad. Despite all his precautions, he was still able to escape.
At this moment, Bai Dashan had already thought of several ways to make Lu Xiaohao disappear from the world without anyone noticing.
Bai Tao took out the envelope, shook it, and found that there was no gold leaf or anything like that in the envelope, so she handed the letter to Bai Dashan next to her.
"Look at what it says."
Bai Dashan was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Ah? Auntie, I, I see it?"
"Why, do you have something to do?" Bai Tao: "Then call Xiao Cao and the others."
"No, it's okay, auntie, I don't have anything important to do." Bai Dashan came back to his senses and said quickly.
Just kidding, even if something happens, you have to go to the back row.
Bai Xiaocao and the other three girls were still young, so they didn't know so many twists and turns. Only after he saw it did he understand what Lu Xiaohao was planning.
"Then look quickly." Bai Tao didn't notice Bai Dashan's expression, nor did she know the worry in Bai Dashan's heart.
People in ancient times always liked to speak in a roundabout way. In a long article, they might not mention two serious things.
This is also the reason why Bai Tao is too lazy to read the letters herself. The only thing she can read in person is probably the account book.
Of course, most of the time, the account books were also summarized by Bai Duojin for reporting, and Bai Tao would just flip through a few pages casually.
Even though she didn't finish reading it, with the mall, she had a clear picture of all aspects of income and expenditure.
The mall is also very active in bookkeeping because it can make extra money from this.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Dashan opened the letter, glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment.
"How is it? What did you say?"
Bai Dashan came back to his senses, frowned, and replied: "My dear aunt, I'm going to give you five pounds of crayfish."
This was not a letter to seduce an aunt, which made Bai Dashan feel relieved. However, when he thought that Lu Xiaohao dared to make big promises to their aunt, he became angry again.
What my aunt gave me are good things, real good things, which can’t be found anywhere else in the world except in Taohua Village.
Five pounds of crayfish. Is it because their aunt is all alone and helpless with no one to support her that she actually uses such a thing to get rid of people?
"Drawing a pie?" Bai Tao was surprised when she heard it: "What kind of pie is it?"
Since coming to this world, Bai Tao has made promises to people many times, but she has always been able to deliver. This is the first time that someone has made promises to her.
Bai Dashan: "Auntie, Mr. Lu said that the pocket watch is precious, and it would be superficial to give you gold, silver, or jade as a reward, and you don't value it, so I'll give you two cities."
Bai Tao raised an eyebrow when she heard this: "Is that city occupied by other countries?"
If not, Bai Dashan would not be able to say that he was just making empty promises.
Lu Xiaohao did not have the final say on the cities of Jin State, so the only cities he could deal with were those that did not belong to Jin State or those that had been occupied by other countries.
Bai Dashan nodded: "Yes."
"Auntie, You County is more than 500 miles east of Junji Town, and is now in the hands of Qi State."
"In addition, Ancheng is three or four hundred miles north of You County. A few years ago, it was occupied by Liang State and Qi State back and forth."
Bai Tao: "Were these two places originally part of the territory of Jin State?"
"Yes."
Bai Tao understood. No wonder Bai Xiaocao and the others said that the current ruler of Jin State was a good-for-nothing, as so much of its territory had been occupied.
However, if Jin State had succeeded, the entire Taohua Village would not have fled.
If Lu Xiaohao were here, Bai Tao would definitely say that gold and silver objects were actually the best. She was just a vulgar person who liked vulgar things.
Bai Dashan continued, "Auntie, these five catties of crayfish said that although these two cities are not in the hands of Jin State at present, they are not far from Junji Town. If you are interested, you can take them. The royal family of Jin State will definitely not dare to say anything..."
At this point, Bai Dashan angrily cursed: "Don't dare to say anything?! What dare they say???"
"It's their own fault that they lost the city and their backs were stabbed by the people. If we take it back, it will naturally be ours. Do they have the nerve to say anything?"
Bai Dashan spat angrily: "How shameless, how shameless!"
How could Bai Dashan not be angry when he had to exchange two cities that he had no say in for the two watches in Bai Tao's hands?
Bai Tao was not angry, but just asked again: "Anything else?"
"Yes." Bai Dashan continued with a sigh, "He also said in the letter that when the high-yield grains to be planted are harvested, the emperor's reward and his money and utensils will be given to you."
This is just empty talk and a form of imitation.
So, Lu Xiaohao took away two watches and took out two gold bars? !
Bai Dashan became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He said with a dark face, "Auntie, this guy has been making empty promises from the beginning to the end. He is such a jerk!!!"
Lu Xiaohao, who was looking through the information, had no idea that his head had moved back and forth several times in less than ten minutes.
