Chapter 372: Lost
Unable to withstand the "heavenly fire" that fell from the sky and the casualties caused by being attacked from both sides by the Chu army, the Northern Barbarian Army finally withdrew.
But before they finally withdrew, they suddenly rushed hundreds of miles and turned to another big city near the capital: Chuqiu.
Although they failed to capture the city of Chuqiu, they did harass the 17 counties under Chuqiu's jurisdiction and specifically targeted those with weak defenses, burning down three of them, which was considered a severe blow to the Great Chu Dynasty.
The rulers and ministers of the Chu Dynasty had clearly won the battle, but they were disgraced by this move.
The forces under the control of several aristocratic families in the south also took the opportunity to expand.
When Gu Mingzhen, the young emperor, and important officials in the court were counting the gains and losses of this battle, they argued so much that they wished they could turn the throne room into a vegetable market.
Xia Daohua listened for a while and suddenly thought of a problem: she intervened too early. She donated a batch of military rations, a batch of supplies, and a batch of medicines. Before the second wave of supplies were sold, the war was over...
And it also took a lot of drones and "cocktails" on board.
Oh my god, I’m losing this time!
Seeing Xia Daohua suddenly showing a painful expression, Gu Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood and shook his head with a smile.
The little emperor also noticed it, and quickly guessed what was going on from Gu Mingzhen's reaction, and started laughing too.
The two groups of ministers were arguing with each other. Although they seemed to be arguing very enthusiastically, in fact, each of them was a smart person with a heart that could be split into eight pieces. No one failed to notice the expressions of these two people.
So everyone was confused - why did these two people suddenly laugh?
Was it because he was too eloquent? Or did the other party hit a hidden joke? Or... the most intolerable thing, were the emperor and the regent distracted during the court meeting?
Xia Daohua thought about it carefully. If she had to choose between a pile of gold and silver ingots and the lives of countless people, she would not be reluctant to part with the money.
After all, she had witnessed the northern barbarians' massacre of the city with her own eyes. Between the northern barbarians and the people of Da Chu, she couldn't help but prefer the people of Da Chu to some extent.
Even if there is no subsequent business, she still has the salary of a princess.
From this perspective, it can’t be considered a loss.
Although she didn't have the habit of being an unknown hero, she just did it and had no interest in publicizing it. She should return the Taiping Grain Shop to the old Gu family and find a new shop to open a grain shop.
For some reason, she found herself becoming more and more lazy recently. She didn't want to worry or think too much, so she was not willing to do anything that required much effort - she might as well change her shop and open a grain shop.
She can sell grains, oils, rice, flour and seasonings. She has an endless supply of good goods.
In fact, the grain business is very simple. All you need is the right people. If you pay attention to storage and accounting, you will not lose money even if you don't make a lot of money.
As for teahouses, dim sum shops, and boutiques, you can open them or not, depending on your mood. If you have already opened them, continue to operate them, and if you haven't started yet, put them on hold.
Maybe after a while when I feel better, I can do something else.
The "Puji Rescue" didn't need to stop, but just followed the routine. Now that she was in a higher position, it was much easier for her to do this kind of thing. She could also openly involve those noble ladies in the work.
Once I get more familiar with them, maybe I can find a few good talents and hand over this business to them.
Xia Daohua felt that there should be nothing wrong with her physical condition. She could eat and drink, run and jump, and she didn't have nightmares after seeing the bloody war scenes...but it was strange that she had been feeling inexplicably lazy recently.
Maybe, the space supermarket is going to be upgraded again.
This time, so many supplies were consumed and a huge "sky fire" was created, which might have had some impact on the space upgrade.
