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

Chapter 464 Find Their Bad Luck
No matter where you are, there will always be people who like to watch the fun and are not afraid of trouble, from a quarrel between two people and the onlookers fanning the flames, to a fight between two forces and people waiting eagerly for a piece of the pie.

Now that the Great Wanguo had suffered a setback, other countries' forces would certainly not miss the opportunity. They began to use secret agents and instigated the Great Wanguo and Taohua Village to go to war.

For other forces, whether the Great Wanguo or Taohua Village loses the battle, it will be beneficial to them.

Who would complain that the territory is too small?

However, the Great Wan Kingdom was not stupid. This time, it sent out more than 100,000 troops, but failed to break through even a fortress in the Taohua Village territory, and tens of thousands of people were captured.

This was embarrassing enough, so how could I be so rash as to do it a second time?

At least, the Great World will not act rashly before coming up with a better battle plan.

As for the captives, Da Wan Guo had no intention of paying a fine.

There are tens of thousands of people. If the fine is asked to be paid by the court of Dawanguo, the national treasury will have to spend a large amount of money. This will clearly strengthen the power of Taohua Territory, so the court of Dawanguo will naturally not agree to it.

Da Wanguo sent two or three reports in its own territory to denounce the Taohua Village territory, and then told the people that the imperial treasury was in difficulties and that it was really unable to come up with money.

The implication is that if someone is captured, only the family members can find a solution themselves.

Of course, this is only the case for soldiers.

The capture of those officials above the third or fifth rank caused the Great Wan Kingdom to lose face, so not allowing them to commit suicide was already a special favor, and it was even more impossible to pay money to redeem them.

The families of these military officers also knew the seriousness of the matter. Since the news came, they have been huddled like quails, hoping that the furious emperor would not notice them.

The soldiers had little money at home, and less than 10,000 of them could afford the fine.

The military officers' families could afford the money, but they were afraid that the court would blame them. While they were hesitating, they received another letter.

After watching it, many teacups were broken into pieces in the homes of the captured military officers.

"Too deceiving!"

"What do you mean by starving people to death if they don't pay the fine?"

"The Peach Blossom Territory is going too far!"

They can be angry and curse, but this is also a reason for them to get paid.

We didn't say we wanted to redeem the people, but we have to pay for their meals. Otherwise, what if Taohua Territory really starves people to death? After all, Taohua Village seems to be capable of doing such a thing.

When the Emperor of Dawanguo learned that the families of these captured military officers had paid the money, he was angry but could not show it.

On this side, Bai Duojin counted the fines received and recorded them in the account book with a smile.

Bai Xiaojin: "Third Grandpa, I didn't expect them to actually pay."

Bai Duojin: "Of course, we have already set up the stage. If they want their families to be safe and not suffer, they will naturally pay for it."

You have to pay a toll to pass through. People are captured, so how can they eat and drink for free?

Bai Xiaojin nodded and asked again: "Did we really release the person?"

Bai Duojin immediately shook his head: "That's definitely not possible! You silly boy, this money is just one of the punishments for them to offend us. In addition to fines, there is also corvée labor..."

Bai Xiaojin nodded, not quite understanding: "Third Uncle, I think I know. My aunt is so powerful." Even my aunt could think of such a method.

Bai Duojin also had a look of admiration on his face, his eyes full of respect, and said: "Of course the aunt is amazing, she knows a lot."

Bai Xiaojin nodded: "That's right, that's right, Third Grandpa, my family said that you and my aunt have learned a lot of business skills, and they told me to learn from you."

"That's right." Bai Duojin was immediately very proud: "Let me tell you, my aunt taught me a lot of business skills. My aunt also said that in the whole Taohua Village, I am the only one who has a great talent for business..."

In the past, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, those who did business would definitely be looked down upon.

But because of Bai Tao in Taohua Village, no one thinks that doing business is inferior.

In fact, making a lot of money is the most important thing in Taohua Village.

In Bai Tao's words: "A penny can make a hero fall. Supporting a village is a huge expense, so you can't lack money for anything..."

As a result, everyone in Taohua Village, young and old, was successfully led astray by Bai Tao, and no matter what they did, they would subconsciously think whether there was any profit to be made.

Bai Xiaojin nodded with a docile look on his face, and then said, "Third Grandpa, it is said that a cannon shot is worth a ton of gold, so should we go and attack the Great Wanguo and find some bad luck with them?"

He thought, if I can catch so many people in one round and collect so many fines, then if I do it twice, won't my resort be able to progress faster? !

If Bai Tao heard this, she would roll her eyes speechlessly. She is a peace-loving person, okay? She only likes to make money.

Bai Dashan happened to pass by, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "Don't fight! Didn't we just finish fighting?"

Bai Duojin also said: "I love peace. If something can be solved with money, I will avoid fighting if possible."

Although the Baiyu army was defeated by the United States, the war would make the residents of Taohua territory panic, and consumption would spontaneously decrease a lot, which would be unfavorable to economic development.

"Ah? Not fighting?" Bai Xiaojin looked disappointed, as if he was unwilling to accept the result. He looked at Bai Dashan with expectation: "Grandpa Village Chief, are we really not going to fight?"

Seeing this, Bai Dashan's mouth twitched and he said, "You kid, you are only seven years old, why are you fighting and killing every day?"

Bai Xiaojin: "No, Shitou and the others have been on missions before, but I haven't. I want to go on one too."

After Bai Shitou, Bai Xiaoman and others came back from the mission, they talked about it with their friends in the village for two or three days. The wonderful and thrilling experience made children like Bai Xiaojin extremely envious.

When Bai Duojin heard this, he patted Bai Xiaojin on the head and said unhappily, "Every profession has its specialties. Since you chose business management, don't think about going out on missions and fighting."

Bai Xiaojin patted his chest quickly and said, "Third Grandpa, my Kung Fu is also good, and I'm young. I can handle it, and we can develop in both directions..."

"Double your head!" Bai Duojin gave him another slap on the face and said, "Division of labor and cooperation has always been the working arrangement of our village. Whoever has the responsibility has the direction. With your small body, you are biting off more than you can chew."

Bai Dashan also nodded and said earnestly: "Practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body, to protect oneself, and to protect the family. It does not mean that you must bully others."

"Every time there is a war, we in Taohua Village are passive fighters. We always follow the principle of not attacking others unless they attack us."

If anyone offends me, woe to him!

However, Bai Dashan did not say the last sentence.

In fact, people outside are saying that if you mess with Taohua Village, it would be worse than messing with the King of Hell. Baiji can make you doubt your life and make you lose everything.
