Chapter 468: Still a Long Way to Go

Bai Duojin shook his head without thinking: “No, that won’t work. I was out for a while last time and I have to go to inspect the stores again in a few days. I have to spend more time in the village communicating with everyone in the next two days.”

“The folks have many ideas. I can better grasp some inspirations and ideas by communicating with them more.”

Bai Duojin paused and said with a smile: “This is called studying hard and making progress every day.”

The learning videos in the village are updated from time to time. Sometimes he is busy and may not be able to learn in time, but it is different for the villagers.

The villagers will see it in time and have various ideas and plans. If everyone communicates more, better sparks will always be generated.

Not only Bai Duojin is like this, but other villagers in Taohua Village are also like this.

The villagers are afraid that they will slack off and miss out on better opportunities for learning and communication.

As my grandmother said, learning is endless and if you don’t make progress, you will regress.

There are countless people outside who are eyeing Taohua Village and want to see it fail. He can’t let these people get their wish.

Seeing the villagers like this, Bai Tao couldn’t help but marvel: If this kind of learning spirit were placed in modern times, the whole village would definitely be full of talents who can go to Peking University or Tsinghua University.

Fortunately, the villagers only involved themselves and not her.

Of course, Da Wanguo’s goal was not achieved. Taohua Village didn’t even respond and just thought that Da Wanguo was talking nonsense.

While other countries and forces were treating it as a joke, they were also reminding themselves that they should not touch the Peach Blossom Territory without absolute certainty.

After this incident, the reputation of Taohua Territory became even greater, and many merchants and common people came here to visit.

Many people have their own calculations in mind. Even if they don’t get a resident household registration at the beginning, it doesn’t matter. Taohua Territory is short of people. They can go to work and earn money first, and maybe they will encounter opportunities in the future.

Besides, working somewhere else is still working, and the money earned is not as much as in Peach Blossom Territory.

It can be said that Baiji’s people didn’t have to spend any effort in promoting the cause, as many people came to seek refuge one after another.

People are one of the important factors in the social and economic structure, and they were even more important in ancient times. If the common people ran away, who would cultivate the fields and who would do the labor?
Therefore, many forces and countries strictly prohibit ordinary people from coming to Taohua Territory, but as long as people have this idea, no matter how strict the defense is, it will be of little use.

Some people go in the dark, some go at night, some walk on mountain roads. In short, you have a plan and I have a ladder, there are always more solutions than problems.

Although many people don’t know the roads outside the town, it doesn’t stop them from asking around. As long as there is a Baiji caravan passing by, they will just follow them without saying a word.

A month later.

Bai Dashan had just arranged for Baiji Escort Agency to escort several shipments when he received the news.

He couldn’t help but frowned: “It’s almost winter now. There won’t be much work to do on the construction site in winter. During this period, we will definitely not recruit workers.”

Bai Youcai: “Who says it’s not true? But these people have traveled for more than two months from other places. They are exhausted, young and old. I am afraid that if I reject them all, my aunt will feel uneasy when she finds out.”

Bai Youcai didn’t say anything. He had gone and seen that those people were indeed miserable people. He wanted to drive them away but didn’t know how to start the conversation.

At this moment, he finally understood what his aunt said: Sometimes when one’s abilities become stronger, the burden on his shoulders will inevitably become heavier.

The people of Taohua Village were forced to leave their homeland because they could no longer make ends meet.

Seeing these people, it’s as if I were seeing the Taohua Village of the past.

Bai Dashan: “Then don’t let my aunt know!” I can’t let my aunt worry too much!
After saying that, Bai Dashan sighed and asked, “How many people are there?” After all, they are here for the Taohua Territory. If they really ignore them, it will be bad if there is chaos in the territory.

Now there are so many people out there waiting to take advantage of Peach Blossom Territory’s misfortune. I have worked so hard to spread the good reputation of Peach Blossom Territory, and it cannot be ruined.

Bai Youcai: “The number of people reported by the two construction sites that are about to be completed is more than 500, and there are also some in other projects, so the total number is almost a little over 1,000.”

Bai Dashan frowned again. This number of people was not too many, but not too few either. It was really a bit troublesome for the moment.

We certainly can’t drive them away, but we can’t just let them eat and drink for free for the whole winter.

Besides, food will not be harvested immediately after spring begins. During the lean period, and since these people have no land, they can only rely on Taohua Territory for food and drink.

Although Taohua Village is rich, it cannot allow these people to squander money like this. Otherwise, if the news gets out, more people will follow their example.

By then, Taohua Territory will not be able to develop, and will definitely be dragged down and fall back into poverty.

Bai Dashan: “I’m going to report the surroundings to my aunt. I’ll report this issue to her later as well.”

Bai Youcai nodded and thought to himself, the aunt must have an idea, and she will definitely accept everyone.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Dashan finished speaking, Bai Tao’s round eyes blinked and said, “Then leave them here. It’s winter now. If you send them back now, they will have no way to survive.”

Bai Tao: “Isn’t there a brick kiln in the west? We can arrange some people to go there.”

“Aren’t the fertilizer and feed factories also hiring? Hasn’t the cannery hired enough people yet? These production factories are not affected by winter or not.”

Just over a thousand people, not hundreds of thousands.

I took a look at the rescue mission, well, there is still a long way to go.

However, Bai Tao didn’t plan to talk about this.

Even though Taohua Territory is developing well now, there is still a shortage of management personnel in various places.

Therefore, the number of people in the territory can be increased little by little, so that there will be time for the people of Taohua Village to grow up without being in a rush.

Bai Dashan nodded suddenly: “Auntie, if you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have remembered it.”

He thought that it would be okay to assign these people over there. This was not the recruitment season, so the wages could be slightly lower.

Don’t say that Bai Dashan has a black heart. These people are not residents of Taohua Territory. They are refugees who fled here to escape famine. It is good enough that they were accepted and sheltered before the cold winter came. If they were somewhere else, they might not be able to enter the territory.

Bai Tao: “Have someone arrange a hygiene check on these people. Cut their hair if necessary, and kill any lice or bugs on their bodies.”

“Yes, great aunt.”

Bai Dashan: “Auntie, don’t worry, I will arrange for someone to do the screening work.”

Taohua Territory can accept poor people, but those who commit crimes are definitely not allowed.

Every time this happened, Bai Dashan’s eyes would light up. The identification instrument given by his aunt was so useful that it had never made a mistake in identifying criminals.

“But my dear, these people can hardly read. Letting them work in the factory is not right…” He originally wanted to arrange them to work on the construction site.

Thank you for your concern, little cuties. Love you~~~
