Chapter 208 Let’s Fight
"The young master didn't let any of us starve to death during this journey. He didn't raise the price of food, oil, or salt."
Yang Xianglian: "Besides, if we were robbed, we would have to fight back if we wanted to survive. Now the young boss is charging us per head, so how could he cheat us out of our money?"
Everyone thought, yes, if they wanted to cheat them out of money, there was no need to calculate the money for them.
To put it bluntly, with the military strength of the people from the Baijiabao caravan, if you really want to get their money, just kill them all.
Killing the people in the caravan was as easy as drinking water, without even having to use explosive arrows.
So, everyone went to exchange their points cards.
Even if someone is worried, just keep half of the money. It is not necessary to exchange it all.
But it didn't take long for them to discover that the points card was really great.
It is a thin hard card that is easy to carry and does not need to be folded or bent. It is more convenient than a banknote.
The banknotes must be carefully kept and must not be wet or torn, but there is no need to worry about the points cards, as they can be washed with water.
Don’t worry if you lose it accidentally, the points card is real-name signed, so even if someone else picks up the card they can’t use it. If you lose it, just spend five taels of silver to replace it in time.
It actually only costs five mall coins to replace a card, but the reason why it costs five taels of silver is that Bai Tao wants people to feel that the card-making process is not easy, and to show the value of the points card.
With these five taels of silver, Bai Tao could earn four taels, nine hundred and eighty coins by purchasing a points card.
Now, after every battle, people would find time to exchange the silver in their hands for points.
Some people even directly said that they would not give out money because it would be converted into points anyway.
Bai Tao didn't know at this time that because of the convenience of the points card and the increasing fame of the Baijiabao caravan, the entire Dongzhou later began to use the points card.
Later, people from other places who wanted to trade with people from Dongzhou also started using points cards, and they soon replaced silver notes.
This is all a story for later.
Perhaps it was because they fought fiercely along the way and destroyed many forces, so two days before reaching Junji Town, the road was inexplicably peaceful.
Those who were waiting for someone to cause trouble so that they could exchange heads for money were disappointed. How could it just disappear like that?
At this time, all the forces in Dongzhou labeled the Baijiabao caravan as someone who was not easy to mess with. Many people even suspected that the caravan was disguised as people from the imperial court.
However, it is unknown which country's court it is. The State of Jin has not taken care of Dongzhou in the past few years, let alone now.
So, he is from Liang State?
Unable to grasp the situation and feeling that there is no advantage to be gained, these forces dare not act rashly.
They were waiting for others to cause trouble for the Baijiabao caravan so that they could reap the benefits.
But everyone seems to have learned their lesson. If you don’t move, I won’t move either.
The day before Bai Tao and his party arrived at Junji Town, they finally encountered a war between two forces. Everyone was excited and wanted to accuse both parties of being in their way so that they could kill some of them.
Unexpectedly, they had just picked up their weapons before the others had time to rush forward.
When the people fighting in the melee saw the flag on the leading horse, someone immediately shouted: "The Baijiabao caravan is coming!!!"
what?
The Baijiabao caravan has arrived?
Why are you fighting? Run!
Then the two groups of people ran away immediately without caring about the fight they had just had.
The people in Taohua Village were fine. Although they were depressed, they didn't care. But the people who followed Taohua Village to Dongzhou were anxious.
"Ah? Why did they run away?"
"No, we haven't done anything yet, why did he run away?"
"Hey, wait a minute, don't run away, stay and fight with us." "If you want to fight, then fight well, why are you running away!"
"Hasn't anyone ever told you that it's wrong to give up halfway?!"
After hearing these shouts, the two groups ran even faster.
Just kidding, when fighting with other forces, everyone will suffer casualties, and the difference in strength will not be that big after the fight.
But when facing the Baijiabao caravan, who had no moral principles and used gunpowder bullets to clear the way at every turn, the casualties were all their own people.
At this time, the two forces fought together, and the number of people had already exceeded 3,000. They were afraid that the Baijiabao caravan would throw gunpowder bombs at them, so of course they ran away faster than rabbits.
When Tao Jiaren saw this scene, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back on horseback.
"Haha, hahahaha, I, haha, this is the first time I've seen Liujiazhai and Lijiazhuang like this."
These two forces are ranked in the top five in Junji Town, and neither of them is willing to submit to the other.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came face to face with Taohua Village, they were so scared that they turned around and ran away.
Some people didn't even dare to look back to pick up their shoes after they dropped them, and some people even ran in the wrong direction. This shows how famous Taohua Village is in Dongzhou now.
Bai Tao was a little surprised: "Ah, did the news spread so quickly?"
It was normal to be afraid of Taohua Village. After all, their fighting power was there. However, Bai Tao did not expect the news to spread so quickly.
Tao Jiaren explained: "The forces in Junji Town are complicated and intricate, so they must have channels to get the news."
Bai Tao nodded: "That's right."
"Auntie, should we continue chasing?" Bai Dashan came over quickly and asked.
He didn't want to ask, so he just ran away.
But everyone has copied their weapons, wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing if we don’t do anything?
"I won't chase you anymore." Since the other party didn't make things difficult for me, there was no need to chase him.
Hearing that there was no need to chase, the people in Taohua Village quickly responded and continued doing what they were doing. However, the others who were ready to fight felt disappointed when they heard this.
"Not chasing them? They may not be able to run very fast." Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable watching the money slip away from them?
"The young master said he won't chase her anymore."
When everyone heard this, although they felt it was a pity, they also knew that there was no turning back.
At this time, Tao Jiaren also asked the questions that had been weighing on her mind for the past few days.
"Little cutie, why do you give them money?" If you don't give them money, and someone else comes to rob them, won't these people resist?
Bai Tao lowered her eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then said, "In this world, it is fate that we meet someone fleeing for our lives. Any help we can give is a help. It is always easier for us to make money than for them."
These words were soon heard by people outside.
Everyone was naturally grateful.
Bai Tao ate the red date cake and muttered to herself: I don't want to do it either, but if I don't exchange it with money, the enemies killed by these people can't be counted on her.
In order to have a chance to win the lottery, Bai Tao had to exchange five taels of silver for each head.
As for why it was five taels of silver per head, it was also very simple.
People are driven by profit and are also afraid of death. If they are paid too little, who would risk their life to earn this money?
Also, when people are in desperate situations, they will do destructive things like dragging others down with them. Although the people in Taohua Village are powerful, it would be annoying if they always encounter such things.
