I’m The King Chapter 616: : Heart
The little servant called Qin'er was flushed. She looked at the man with broken legs so pitifully, so she gave some more money. In her mind, it should be this man with a full face. It would be right to thank him again and again, but he never expected that the man would speak evil words at him. (Baidu search updates are the fastest and most stable) With money in hand, you can't advance or retreat.
"The servant is rude, it's our fault!" A clear voice came from behind, and the young man who had been sitting there all this time came over, clasped his fists at the boss who had lost his legs, and bowed.
"Forget it!" The boss waved his hand graciously, "This is Jishi City, which is under the rule of Governor Gao. The rules are probably different from other places. Today, Governor Gao won another big victory. I'm happy in my heart, so I don't care about you, if it were the past, I would definitely knock this little guy out with a crutch."
The young man smiled slightly, turned around, and stretched out his hand to the boy, "Twenty copper coins."
Qin'er's eyes were full of tears, it looked like they were about to fall, she felt wronged and took out another twenty copper coins and handed it to the young gentleman.
After receiving the money, the young master stacked the twenty copper coins neatly in front of the boss, nodded and smiled at him, then turned and walked out, the two servants and the two companions followed immediately.
The boss looked at their backs, but he couldn't take his eyes off it.
There was a sound of horseshoes outside, obviously the five people had already left, but the boss still didn't look back, looking thoughtful.
"That young man just now looks really good-looking!" A woman's voice came from behind, the boss turned his head, glanced at his wife, and smiled, "What man, that's a woman in disguise, those two companions , very skilled, full of murderous aura, although they have tried their best to hide it, but I crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, but I can't hide it from me. I am inconvenient to move. You should tell the village chief immediately and let him report to the higher authorities. A few suspicious characters have come."
"These people shouldn't be bad people, right?" The mother-in-law was obviously unwilling.
"Whether he is a bad person or not, we have to guard against sneaky people. Besides, whether they are bad people or not is something we can judge. In the past, Tan Feng often went to and from the governor's camp. People like us Seeing him making out with the governor, like a good friend, he turned around, and wanted to stab the governor, so hurry up and go to the village chief and ask the village chief to tell the officials in the city, if it is Good people will not wrong them, if they are bad people, hehe, then we have made a contribution." The boss said triumphantly.
"My lord, just now you and Qin'er have exposed several flaws. If the boss with the broken leg is a caring person, he will definitely find something unusual." Said, "It's better to be careful."
The young man smiled slightly, "I have been cautious all the way, now that I have reached the core of the Zhengdong Army's rule, so naturally I don't need to pay attention to everything, it's okay, even if they find out, it's nothing. Anyway, I'm going Find them."
The face of the middle-aged companion was a bit worried, "But son, the relationship between the master and General Gao was not a good relationship, and it could even be said to be an enemy. This trip is too risky, in fact With your status, son, your ability and the strength in your hands, you are a popular figure in any country you go to, so why not come to Jishi City."
The young master reined in his horse, turned to look at Ban Dang, his face was slightly cold, "Where can we go, Zhao or Qin? Wei or Qi? Like Jing Rufeng, Jing Rufeng is proud of being in Zhao State now, but The people of Qin State even dug his ancestral grave, Jing Rufeng fled to Zhao State and hid there for 20 years, but no one has dug his ancestral grave in these 20 years."
Ban Dang closed his mouth. The young master took a deep breath, shook the reins, and moved forward slowly, "Gao Yuan is a Yan people after all, and the army under his command is also the Yan people's army."
"Young master is right!" Ban Dang nodded, "I was wrong."
"That man is so rude!" The boy named Qin'er rushed up, and said dissatisfiedly: "I gave him more money, I was pity him, but I didn't want him to be ignorant and hurt others!"
"Qin'er, that's a retired soldier. His legs should have been lost on the battlefield." The young man raised his head to the sky, and was out of his mind for a while, "But it's just in Jishi City Even in Jicheng, we can often see disabled and retired soldiers begging in the street, living like wild dogs on the street. It is no wonder that the Zhengdong Army has such combat effectiveness, Gao Yuan actually sent those soldiers who retired due to injuries Taking care of them so well, judging from their appearance, they are all self-sufficient, and the lame one who came in earlier, I think it is the same."
"I'm surprised that they all have knives on their waists!" Ban Dang shook his head and said, "This is Jishi City and the core of Gao Yuan's current rule. Isn't he afraid that these people will rebel with knives?"
"Will they rebel?" The young man shook his head and said, "Listen to what they said, don't you feel it? Those young people are actually proud to join the Eastern Army."
"There are indeed too many things I don't understand." Ban Dang nodded.
"Let's go, go to Jishi City, where, maybe we can find the answer." The young man hastened his pace.
The five of them walked forward all the way, but they couldn't go very far, but they saw the crippled man and his party that had left earlier. But the young master reined in his horse, slowed down and walked side by side with them. Turning to look at the crippled man, he clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Uncle, did you have a good harvest this year?"
He Dayou smiled and said: "My little brother, my name is He Dayou, the village head of Baiyang Village, you are from another place, right? You are so handsome."
When the words came out, the young man blushed with embarrassment, it was nothing to praise a woman for being handsome, but now that he was dressed as a man, it was worth thinking about praising himself for being handsome.
"The harvest this year is good!" The young man changed the subject, looking at the carts of grain behind him.
"Yes, yes, thanks to the governor, the weather has been good this year. The production of raw fields in the past two years has increased this year. Of course it is good, and it will be even better next year." He Dayou looked at the truck with a smile cart food.
"Is this going to be sent to the city to pay for public food?"
"No, this is for sale. In Jishi City, there is no such thing as paying public grain. The Zhengdong Mansion is bought with money."
"So it's like this, if you don't pay the public grain, then the tax in Jishi City must not be low?"
"Taxes? There is no tax!" He Dayou said: "We are all retired soldiers. We don't have to pay taxes on ration fields, and the barren fields that are reclaimed are also exempt from taxes for three years."
"What about the poll tax?"
"There is a poll tax, 50 Wen per person per year!" He Dayou laughed.
"So low?"
"The little brother also said that it is low, yes, when I borrowed the original, the tax was called a heavy one. In addition to the tax with various names, the officials and gentlemen also collected money in different ways, and they could not live. I went to get soldiers after I went down. I had a good life. Later, I followed General Gao. I really can’t imagine that there will be such a good life now. The wife and children are hot on the kang, there is meat to eat, and there is wine to drink. This life is worth it!" He Dayou laughed.
"How much is the food price in Jishi City now?"
He Dayou reported a number with a smile, the young man was stunned, and the two companions around him were also a little stunned, "Uncle, the price of food in Jishi City is so low, we come from outside, the price of food outside It is several times the price here, and there are also caravans coming in to collect grain, why don't you sell the grain to those merchants, this is several times the price!"
"I won't sell it to them!" He Dayou shook his head, "Let's sell it to Zhengdong Mansion."
"What's the point?" The middle-aged companion looked at He Dayou in confusion, as if looking at an idiot, "Can you make more money but not make it?"
"Brother, you don't understand Luo!" He Dayou laughed and said, "We have such a good day now, who gave it to us? General Gao, what is General Gao doing now? He is fighting with the Donghu people Of course, fighting a war requires consumption, money and food. We can't go to the battlefield with General Gao, but we have to do something. The price of collecting grain from Zhengdong Mansion is low, but this grain has to be sent to the front line. Those from other places The grain merchant didn't know, so he came to us to collect grain at a high price. He would be surprised if he could receive it! How many of the people inside and outside Jishi City would not sell their grain to the general because of the great kindness of the general? them."
"But I saw that Sihai Trading is selling food out!" The young man tilted his head, "Why give them money?"
"Brother, don't you know, Four Seas Trading also sells food, but they make money, and finally use it in our Jishi City. Look at us walking now, and those ditches in the fields are farther away The houses, livestock, and farm tools used by the local resettlement are all paid by merchants from all over the world. The teacher in our village said that this is called taking from the people and using it for the people. We each earn a little money, but it is all Tibetan money. When I get up, I can’t do anything, but Four Seas Trading can gather these small money together ~IndoMTL.com~ This becomes big money, and I can do many things!”
After hearing He Dayou's words, the young master was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "People's hearts, people's hearts!"
"What did you say?" He Dayou asked.
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" The young man waved his hand, "I just heard that these little brothers said they were going to join the army. I saw that the little brothers are very strong, why did they get beaten back?"
He Dayou laughed loudly, "Under the age, if you want to join the Zhengdong Army, you must be at least sixteen years old, and you have to go to the training camp for two years. They lie about their age and want to get away with it, but they don't want to think about it. Here It's Jishi City, and every single one of them is well documented, how can they get past it."
"I'll be sixteen next year!" Behind He Dayou, a young man puffed out his chest and shouted, "I can join the army."
"Look how beautiful you are!" He Dayou said with a smile, "Just arrive at the new barracks, don't run back crying." (To be continued.
