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

Chapter 424 This is a long story

"Yes, Lord, I have inquired about it. These people have produced their credentials from Taohua Village, and their carriages have the business emblem of the Baijiabao caravan."

"Why are they here?" The mayor of Ancheng was sent by Qiguo. He was panicked and scared at the moment, pacing back and forth: "What do they want to do? I remember that Ancheng is now managed by Qiguo, right?"

"Hey, City Lord, do you still remember the matter of Wengcheng?" The lawyer reminded carefully.

After the master said this, the mayor of Ancheng fell silent. How could he not remember that when the two countries were fighting, they stopped for this reason.

Although it was announced to the public that it was just renovation, there were so many people talking and such a thing could not be concealed at all.

"What's their purpose?" The mayor of Ancheng didn't say anything about whether the people of Taohua Village were brave or not.

Master: "City Lord, they said they are here to drive away the locusts and relieve the disaster."

Drive away locusts to relieve disaster?

These four words are easy to understand, but the city lord was a little confused for a moment. It seems that it is not Taohua Village's turn to take care of this matter? !

The master also muttered: "I don't know what Taohua Village means by this."

As for gaining fame, given the reputation of the Baijiabao caravan, it seems that this is not necessary now.

But if you want to know what Taohua Village is after, there was nothing good about Ancheng even before the locust plague, except that it was big enough.

The mayor of Ancheng also remained silent. Who knows?

After a pause, he said, "Master, do you think we should send someone to contact them?"

The master paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and said, "What does the city lord intend to do?"

"This..." The city lord was speechless for a moment. He had no idea what to say.

If it were any other force, he would have rushed over to question them, but that was Taohua Village.

The fighting power of the Baiyu Army is so fierce that every time they fight in the battlefield, countless opponents are killed or wounded, leaving behind a pile of debris and broken limbs.

Maybe some people are really not afraid of death and are prepared to die on the battlefield, but no one will not tremble with fear when seeing such a brutal battlefield.

Master: "Why don't we just wait and see what happens?"

"Will it be..." The city lord wanted to say something, but then he changed his mind and realized that he was the city lord of Ancheng after all and represented the position of Qi State.

If he took the initiative to contact the people of Taohua Village, wouldn't it mean that Qiguo was afraid of Taohua Village?

If Qiguo knew about this, his career as city lord would be over.

It would be better to just pretend that he didn't know. This would not only express his position but also make the matter less troublesome.

Bai Chunhua and his group had no idea about the murmurs in the City Lord's Mansion, and even if they did, they would not care.

It doesn’t matter who is the city lord now, as long as Ancheng belongs to them when the time comes.

In You County, the disaster situation is better than in Ancheng, but only relatively better.

Because people from Taohua Village arrived and drove away locusts and killed insects in time, more crops were left than in Ancheng.

The county magistrate of You County was different from the city lord of Ancheng. When he heard that people from Taohua Village were coming to help with the disaster, he immediately ran to greet them.

"That's great, that's great, our You County is saved."

"On behalf of the people of You County, I would like to thank you all for your help." Zhang Zhouhua did not put on airs just because he was an official. He bowed solemnly to the people of Taohua Village.

Zhang Zhouhua stood up and spoke again: "Your great kindness will be remembered by us all, and we in You County will never forget it."

Not only Zhang Zhouhua, but also the people of You County were so excited that their eyes were red, and they all said: "Thank you... Thank you so much, you are my lifesaver..."

You County said that it was under the control of Qiguo, but in fact Qiguo didn't care at all.

As the county magistrate of You County, Zhang Zhouhua was born and raised in You County. He was willing to do anything that would benefit You County. During this locust plague, he was busy running around and slept less than five hours a day. Seeing that he could not drive away the locusts no matter what he tried, he was desperate.

Unexpectedly, Taohua Village is here.

At first he thought it was just the delivery of relief food, but he didn't expect that Taohua Village actually had the ability to drive away locusts and kill insects. Zhang Zhouhua was immediately overjoyed.

He is simply a savior. He saved the people of You County and also saved him.

Upon hearing about high-yield grain varieties, Zhang Zhouhua immediately expressed his desire to plant them.

"If we can plant it, we will definitely hand over 30% of the harvested grain, and hope that you can give us You County a chance."

High-yield grain varieties are so precious that they will definitely not be given to others easily, especially since You County is still in the hands of Qi State.

But Zhang Zhouhua still spoke up shamelessly. He wanted to try as long as there was the slightest chance.

Bai Youyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but instead of answering, he asked, "Give us 30% from Taohua Village, and what about the tax revenue from You County?"

Zhang Zhouhua paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "I will submit a petition. I hope the court can exempt You County from taxes due to the locust plague."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Normally, when a place suffers from a disaster, the imperial court would exempt taxes for one to two years.

But You County was a later arrival in Qi State and was not well received. It could be said that it was raised by a stepmother, so Zhang Zhouhua was not sure either.

But no matter whether he was sure or not, he had to do it, for himself and for the people of You County.

After hearing this, Bai Youyi pretended to think for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I'll report it to our aunt when I get back."

Zhang Zhouhua quickly bowed and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Bai, thank you, Mr. Bai..."

"You're welcome." Bai Youyi said, "You are a good official. We, your aunt, admire people like you the most."

Bai Tao’s original words: If an official does not serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Zhang Zhouhua was delighted by Bai Youli's words. Is that true?

Everyone in the world knows that the man who is the leader of Taohua Village, Baijiabao Caravan, and even the Baiyu Army is an extremely intelligent and powerful person.

What an honor it is to be appreciated by such people.

Zhang Zhouhua was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only laugh, and suddenly something crossed his mind.

After spending a few days together, Zhang Zhouhua and Bai Youli became somewhat familiar with each other. He carefully considered his words before asking.

"Mr. Bai, I wonder what song is playing in your car?"

Bai Youyi said casually, "Oh, it will be "Above the Moon"."

"Doesn't it sound good?"

Zhang Zhouhua nodded: "It sounds good."

At first, everyone was confused, surprised and fresh, but they couldn't help humming along with the music in their hearts.

After listening to it for a few days, almost everyone in You County could sing it.

But Zhang Zhouhua never understood how to record the sounds, songs, musical instruments, etc. and play them in a loop.

Even if you search through all the ancient books, you will not find any record of this technique, and it has never been heard of.

It is said that the Baijiabao caravan has countless skilled craftsmen, and this magical and tireless song proves it once again.

"Mr. Bai, excuse me, how can this be done?"

Bai Youyi: "This... is a long story. It involves the player and the speaker. Then, there needs to be electricity, or batteries will do..."
