Chapter 177 Deduction of Ten Taels of Silver

Lu Xiaohao knew very well Yang Song's ability to gather information, but he didn't get any information at all and was suspected several times by sensitive people in the caravan.

Even at the beginning, when they followed the caravan, they were often followed by people in the caravan, and they were all children under ten years old.

If the Baijiabao caravan did not have strict clan rules and regulations, it would be impossible for the entire caravan to do so.

Moreover, there are so many talented people in the caravan, and any one of them would be sought after by the various noble families to support him.

But in the Baijiabao caravan, no matter how powerful a person is, he still has to find water, hunt, cook, and teach his children...

They do not become arrogant and condescending just because they have such great abilities.

Lu Xiaohao remembered that when they were taking a break on the way back, Bai Tao just said that she wanted some fruit from a tree, and three people immediately jumped out from the caravan and rushed to pick them.

The other two people were so angry that they kept scolding the person who climbed up the tree for being cunning because they were a step slower.

As if they were still not satisfied after scolding, they turned around and looked at Bai Tao pitifully with grievance. They looked like a young wife who was being mistreated, which was really unbearable to watch.

Finally, the two men searched for a while and found a similar tree. They climbed up and picked a basket of fruits for Bai Tao. Only then were they satisfied.

If the secluded clan was extremely mysterious in Lu Xiaohao's mind before, then now when he saw the Baijiabao caravan, he felt mysterious but also a little confused.

How could Lu Xiaohao know that the reason why the people in Taohua Village were like this was because of Aunt Bai Tao.

To the villagers, they are just a group of farmers who work hard in the fields. Even if they become powerful enough to reach the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun in the future, they still have to behave themselves in Taohua Village.

The abilities they possessed were given by my aunt, the property they accumulated along the way was also given by my aunt, and the money was also given by my aunt bit by bit.

If the aunt hadn't told them to carry the money for self-defense, they wouldn't have insisted on carrying one or two hundred taels of silver on them.

The Peach Blossom Fairy protected their ancestors, and now the aunt also protects them and takes them to a life of luxury.

Every time the villagers thought of it, they felt grateful and ashamed. They just wished they could do more to repay Bai Tao. No one else dared to show off Qiao in the village.

Before, there was a one-year-old child who was just trembling and wandering around. He happened to run to Bai Tao's sedan chair, and he urinated while holding the sedan chair. He was immediately beaten on the buttocks.

The child and his family were also punished to kneel for a long time. This was while they were fleeing, otherwise they would have had to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights.

Don’t say that children are young and ignorant. It is because children are young that they need to be taught.

If children are ignorant, how can adults be ignorant too?
This child's behavior is as serious as digging up the graves of ancestors and peeing on the coffins during the Qingming Festival.

The only reason he wasn't beaten to death for such an unfilial and unrighteous behavior was because Bai Tao spoke up to stop it.

"Sir?"

"Young Master???"

Lu Xiaohao came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"

"Today's main dish is horse meat stewed with potatoes." Yang Song finished speaking and asked carefully, "Sir, have you thought of anything?"

The master's expression just now was not right.

"Nothing." Lu Xiaohao did not intend to tell Yang Song about his guess.

If the Baijiabao caravan is a reclusive clan, it would be a good thing for the people today.

After wandering for more than half a year, Lu Xiaohao is no longer the aloof person who was detached from the world. He now understands the sufferings of the people and the difficulties faced by the poor people better.

Seeing that his master was unwilling to say, Yang Song stopped asking.

The master always has his own considerations and concerns. As a subordinate, he only needs to protect his master well.

Although he didn't know what his master was worried about, Yang Song started to show his chatterbox nature again. "Master, I just went to get food and saw that there was still a lot of horse meat. It seems that the caravan slaughtered a lot of horses, enough to eat for a long time..."

"Yeah." Lu Xiaohao: "The caravan consumed a lot of supplies along the way. It just so happens that we have this horse meat, which will give us some extra space."

If the caravan did not have supplies along the way, it would not be able to share some with others.

In other words, only if two or three trucks of supplies were delivered along the way would Lu Xiaohao feel that Taohua Village must have known about the situation in Yancheng a long time ago.

If you light a bonfire in the valley, you can see the flames from below the mountain.

The rebel camp at the foot of the mountain saw several flames in the sky above the valley and a look of cruelty flashed in their eyes.

But soon, the rebels were dumbfounded.

"what is that--"

Before he could finish his surprised words, there was a loud "bang" and the rebel camp exploded with several loud bangs.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack..."

The rebel camp was in chaos, while in the valley, Bai Youfu and his men, who had just fired explosive crossbow arrows, were discussing something.

"See, I said the angle wasn't adjusted right, it was a little high."

"Is it a matter of position?"

"The orientation is fine, but we still need to lower the angle by 0.5."

"0.7, right? The last time, it should have hit this battalion. It hit the target of the No. crossbow."

"That's right. You, as my grandmother would say, are missing the target."

Bai Youcai squinted one eye and looked through the night vision goggles with the other, observing the situation below.

He looked up at the people who shot the arrows with disdain and said, "After shooting five arrows, you can't even get thirty heads. Can you be more reliable?!"

On the side, Bai Duojin heard this and immediately said solemnly: "Brothers, I'm telling you, take it easy and don't cause any more problems."

"I asked my aunt, this explosive crossbow bolt costs 800 coins, it's not cheap."

As he spoke, Bai Duojin recorded it in his notebook, and then he used his abacus to calculate, "Each of you just wasted a crossbow arrow, so each of you will be fined ten taels of silver."

"Is there a problem?"

Others shook their heads: "No problem!"

They don't know what a currency is, probably it means money.

But these eight hundred coins definitely cannot be eight hundred Wen coins, so this coin is probably the name of the silver money in my aunt's place.

Such a powerful weapon costs eight hundred coins, and they don't have a single coin. It's all thanks to me, so of course they won't waste it if they can.

Since you didn't do well, you should be fined. If rewards and punishments are clear, people will not take chances and will cherish it more.

This idea was not proposed by Bai Tao, but was decided after discussion among the people of Taohua Village.

The fine money will be recorded in an account book. After finding a suitable resettlement site, I will build a big yard for my aunt and a big house, just like the big villa with a swimming pool that my aunt mentioned...

"Come on, come on, I'll do it. This time, I will definitely be able to destroy one of the tents with one arrow!"

"No, no, no, I'll do it. I'm more confident after the test shooting just now. I'm sure I can get more heads this time."
