Chapter 299 Sits and talks about the suffering of the world
"Oh, don't say it, don't say it, eat,
How can you still have an appetite for this?" Wu Xueyin hurriedly interrupted Wu Xing.
Instead, Shang Shi Ao opened his mouth and smiled: "What is that, I have seen even more miserable homeless people, who are desperate for their lives...... Ahem, forget it, don't say it, don't say it. β
Not to mention, since the relationship with Wu Xueyin has slowly become closer, Shang Shi Ao, who was originally very arrogant, has gradually learned to understand Wu Xueyin's feelings.
Xiao Rugang also came over and said: "Our southeast side was originally a rich place, Cheng boy, the Qingling Province you went to this time originally belonged to our southeast coastal area, but it was later that the sharks made a lot of trouble, so no one cared about it." β
"What?" Qiu Shuisheng looked at Xiao Rugang in surprise: "There is a benefit of fishing and salt in the southeast, and if you don't make it, you will be poor, right?"
"Poor! How can you not be poor!" Xiao Rugang shook his head repeatedly: "When I didn't join the Iron Guard, my family also had a meal without a meal, and I could eat again, and finally I was driven out of my family to join the army." β
Speaking of this, he himself laughed, but Qiu Shuisheng didn't laugh, and said: "How can this be? I heard the elders in the family say that the southeast coastal area is profitable for fishing and salt, and when His Majesty said it, it was okay......
"Be cautious!" Hearing Qiu Shuisheng say this, Wu Xueyin immediately cut off his words, and said angrily: "Qiu Shuisheng, are you trying to make trouble for your family?"
Qiu Shuisheng said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? Now that I am a disciple of the Xianmen, I want to see who dares to trouble my family! Besides, there are no outsiders here, everyone is a senior brother, who can sue me for secret?"
Wu Xueyin pondered for a moment and felt that it was the same, so she didn't interrupt him anymore.
Qiu Shuisheng continued: "Listen to the family
The people of Zhongda said that in the era when His Majesty's words were still effective, that is, when the great sage had not yet made trouble, the southeast coastal area was very rich! If you send an errand to go there, there will be a lot of people to rob it, why can't it be done now? Speaking of which, the empire is like this, and it shouldn't be able to collect taxes from your side, right?"
"It's because you can't get it that it's broken. Xiao Rugang pouted: "I heard my thousands of households say, this tax, it is collected for the Son of Heaven, give more and give less, and everyone doesn't care, at that time, the people can still have a way to live, but once they don't collect it from the Son of Heaven, it will go into the official's own pocket, so there is still one who doesn't scrape hard?"
Hearing Xiao Rugang say this, Wu Xueyin, Qiu Shuisheng, who has a prominent family background, were stunned, and it was the first time they had heard such a truth, this is worse than collecting taxes if they don't collect taxes?
"You say that the benefits of fishing and salt, but in fact the bad is bad for the profits of fishing and salt! Really good fishing grounds and salt drying farms can cause conflicts between local wealthy clans, and the battle will not be finished.
After listening to Xiao Rugang's words, everyone was silent for a while, and finally Qin Yue patted the table and said, "It's really a troubled time!
What he said was naΓ―ve, and Wu Xueyin and the others all looked at each other and no one spoke.
In the end, it was Wu Xingdao: "How can the Son of Heaven manage it? The empire has long since existed in name only, and the edict of the Son of Heaven is only afraid that it will be difficult to leave the capital." β
"No!"
While a few people were talking, a voice suddenly interjected, and when everyone looked back, they saw that it was Chen Yingzheng and one
A handsome young man walked towards them......
Cheng Hao and the others turned around and saw that it was Chen Ying walking over with a young handsome man.
The two of them walked side by side, which was really eye-catching.
To say that everyone who entered the Immortal Gate has completed the rebirth, it is very eye-catching, but this man is even better than the ordinary disciples of the Lingtai Sect.
Cheng Hao saw that he secretly compared him with Guan Yuebai of the Luoxia Sect he had seen, these two were not too different, they could be called handsome.
And this person is more mature and stable than Guan Yuebai in terms of temperament, and he is full of an elegant taste, which makes people secretly feel good in their hearts when they see it.
Cheng Hao is still like this for a man, and Lu Qingshuang and other women are even more stunned.
Or Wu Xueyin is not good at this, she likes rough men, and quickly reacted and asked, "Senior Sister Chen, who is this?"
Chen Ying smiled and introduced: "Let me introduce to you, this is also your senior brother, named Feng Yifeng, and I entered the master with my front and back feet." It's just that there are usually few people in the division, and there are not many people who recognize him. β
"I've seen Senior Brother Feng. Cheng Hao and the others all stood up and greeted him.
Feng Yifeng smiled mildly and waved his hand at everyone: "Let's all sit down, I also heard that there are new junior brothers and sisters, so I came to see everyone, and they are all young talents." β
When he said this, Xiao Rugang's old face turned red.
Everyone here counted him and Shang Shi Ao as the oldest, and it was difficult to say that they were young talents, looking at their age, in fact, they were not much different from this Feng Yifeng.
Feng Yifeng and Chen Ying walked over to find a place to sit as they spoke, and now they were eating in the canteen specially prepared for disciples in Wuyi Peak.
It's just that Wuyifeng is not in charge
Tight, casual disciples practice and practice, so most of the disciples in the peak are not here now, and there are only a few people like Cheng Hao in the huge canteen.
So Cheng Hao and the others didn't care about any rules or regulations, they merged a few tables, and everyone got together to eat and drink.
Now that Chen Ying and the others are here, they also pull up a chair and sit down.
After Feng Yifeng sat down, he said to Wu Xing: "Senior Brother Wu, you just said that the edict of the Son of Heaven did not come out of the imperial capital, but it is old news, but now it is very different. β
"Oh?" Wu Xing was a little surprised, and looked at Feng Yifeng: "Senior Brother Feng, I heard that you went to Youyunjing this time?"
"Not bad. β
Feng Yifeng nodded naturally, Wu Xing and the others glanced at each other, Qin Yue was the most anxious, and simply asked directly: "Then Senior Brother Feng, what have you seen and heard in the imperial capital, tell us all about it!"
Feng Yifeng said with a smile: "As far as you are in a hurry, then let me tell you that when today's emperor is smart and wise, and he is willing to reuse talents, it is because today's empire is not the same as before, and the scope that the Son of Heaven can directly control has increased a lot." β
"Oh?" Hearing Feng Yifeng say this, everyone came to the spirit, Wu Xueyin hurriedly said: "Could it be that the local heroes are finally willing to support the Son of Heaven?"
"How is that possible. Feng Yifeng smiled contemptuously: "Those silverfish only hate that their mouths are not sharp enough and they don't suck enough blood, how can they be willing to return their authority to the Son of Heaven?"
Hearing Feng Yifeng say this, Qiu Shuisheng looked embarrassed.
His family is actually Haoqiang who is on one side, and now Feng Yifeng scolds Haoqiang for being a bloodsucker, but isn't he even scolded his family together?
