Xia Daohua frowned and thought for a while, and soon made up her mind - no matter how reluctant she was, she had to move.
And, it must be done as soon as possible.
There is unrest in many places in Da Chu right now, with wars raging everywhere. It is said that the trade routes in some places have been cut off - she got this news from Wang Shi. Recently, there have been a lot more beggars near Jixiang County.
If there really are rebel soldiers or bandits who break into this auspicious county, I'm afraid we won't be lucky enough to escape a second time.
Yes, she has room to cheat.
But what if she wasn't with her family when the incident happened? Who can guarantee that she would have had a chance to save them?
But moving to Kyoto is different.
The capital's towering towers, high walls, and deep rivers, alone, the Imperial Guards guarding the capital numbered hundreds of thousands, not to mention the Five Cities Military Commission responsible for the capital's security, Li Gan's Jinyi Yunqi, and Eunuch Wei's Secret Investigation Division...
Even if the enemy really is at the gates of the city, as long as we close the city gates and retract the drawbridge, it will take at least three to five years for the outsiders to break in!
In less than three to five years, the princes from all over the country who came to support the king (or who claimed to support the king) would have enough time to prepare troops, horses, and food supplies and rush over.
However, if she simply abandoned her business and left without a second thought, her family would likely object. Xia Daohua considered several excuses, but none of them satisfied her, as she felt they weren't convincing enough.
Finally she decided to play straight.
Express your true thoughts and concerns.
Of course, there was no need to mention the possibility of rebellion if he got angry. There was no need to elaborate on the grudges with the Wang family either. Firstly, I was afraid of scaring them, and secondly, I was afraid they would question my source of goods.
Xia Daohua made up her mind and paid the shop assistants their wages, and also gave each of them an extra twenty taels of silver.
"I've been watching you guys' performance since you came to the store. I used to think we had a lot of time to live, so I didn't praise you much, but I didn't expect that plans couldn't keep up with the changes...
This shop can no longer be opened. We're selling it. We're clearing out the stock and won't be bringing in any new stock. Once we've sold everything on the shelves—which should take a month or two at the latest—or someone else takes over, you can go home.
I'm planning to move to Kyoto, and if the conditions are right, I'll open another shop. I have some old customers here, and they need some errand runners and delivery people.
If you are willing, you can continue to work with me."
The young men were stunned by Xia Daohua's words.
There was so much information in this passage that it was hard for them to digest it all. Some of them stared with wide eyes, some with red eyes, and some moved their lips slightly but could not utter a word...
However, when they put away the silver bags, they were extremely agile and ruthless.
Xia Daohua smiled cheerfully. Perhaps because of their background, these children were actually very cautious and hardworking. Even when she wasn't at the store, they never slacked off.
The cameras she installed allowed her to clearly understand the qualities of these children.
If they were willing to go with me, it would save me a lot of trouble and effort.
However, also because of their background, they may not be willing to leave Jixiang County.
Leaving Jixiang County was like leaving their "home." As orphans, they naturally cherished their "home" far more than most people.
