Unable to withstand the "heavenly fire" that fell from the sky and the casualties caused by the attack from the front and back of 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 harassed the seventeen counties under Chuqiu and chose 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 this move made them lose face.
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 almost turned the throne room into a vegetable market.
Xia Daohua listened for a while, then suddenly thought: She had intervened too early. She had donated a batch of military rations, a batch of supplies, and a batch of medicine, but before she could even sell the second batch, the war was over...
It also brought a lot of drones and "cocktails".
Oh my god, I’ve lost 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 being too eloquent? Or had the other party hit a hidden joke? Or... and most unbearable of all, had both the Emperor and the Regent been 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 give up the money.
After all, she had witnessed the northern barbarians slaughtering 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.
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 had no habit of being an unknown hero, she had done it and had no interest in publicizing it. She should return the Taiping Grain Shop to the old Gu family and find a new store to open a grain shop.
For some reason, she found herself becoming increasingly lazy recently. She didn't want to worry or think too much, so she wasn't willing to do anything laborious or strenuous - it would be better for her to change her shop and open a grain shop.
She can sell grains, oils, rice, flour and seasonings, as she has an endless supply of good goods.
Actually, selling grain is a very simple business. All you need is the right people. With a little attention to storage and accounting, even if you don't make a lot of money, you can't lose money either.
As for teahouses, dim sum shops, and boutiques, you can open them or not, depending on your mood. If you're already open, keep going; 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 had to proceed step by step. Now that her status had risen, 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 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 even after seeing the bloody war scenes... But it was strange that she had been inexplicably lazy recently.
Perhaps, the space supermarket is going to be upgraded again.
This time, so many materials were consumed and a huge "sky fire" was created. Maybe it had some impact on the space upgrade.
