Chapter 49: Two Extremes

"Guest officer, your wine and food are here!"

The shopkeeper at the door knocked on the door and came in, with a dog-legged smile on his face, looking quite clever, and put the meals on the table one by one, before leaving like a pug.

"Stop!"

The shopkeeper was stopped by the lord of the country, turned around hurriedly, and said: "What do the guest officials have to say, the small one must meet your needs! Our Hongfu Inn has all services, from running errands for customers, down to recommending travel holy places for customers, and even ......."

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, the lord of the country interrupted him impatiently, and the shopkeeper hurriedly closed his mouth, smiling and waiting for the lord's orders.

"Are all the things in Furong County so expensive?

Xiao Er's face instantly became bitter, and his words were indescribably helpless, "Ouch, guest officer, don't mention it! It's not that I've been troubled by the taxes of the past two years!"

The lord frowned, "Taxes, it seems that the lord hasn't asked you to pay much tax in the past two years, right?"

"It's not much, so what's more? We're almost starving to death after we pay our taxes!"

Xiao Er looked sad, and when he saw that the lord of the country had nothing to ask, he shook his head and left. The lord of the country contemplated with his eyebrows, he should have a good walk here tomorrow! He wanted to see how bad the harvest here was before he would starve to death after paying taxes! If it was another country, it was still possible, but this was Handling!

On the second day, the lord of the country and his party left the inn and walked around the street, and the more they looked, the darker the lord's face became.

One out of ten people is a beggar, what kind of horror is that?

There was a beggar sitting on the ground by the roadside, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his whole body was full of decadence.

The lord of the country looked at the beggars all over the city, his head hurt, and he was also helpless, "Go, give them some money, so that they can eat enough tonight!"

The guards received the order and immediately distributed the money in the city, and the beggars were overjoyed when they met the owner of the money and thanked them one after another.

The lord of the country visited for a day today, and he was quite puzzled by the price of things here. This place is very poor, but things are indeed expensive, which is very unreasonable!

The lord of the country walked to a ready-to-wear shop, and the business in the store was very deserted like that of other houses, and the shopkeepers were dozing off on the tables.

Yes, all the shops, restaurants, and stalls here are deserted!

"Why are there so many beggars here, so many people who can't eat, but the things sold here are so expensive?

The voice of the lord of the country woke up the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper opened his eyes, and it took a while to see the person who came, and he stretched his waist, "What do you want?"

The lord of the kingdom held back his anger, "Let me ask you! Why are there so many beggars here, so many people who can't eat, but the things sold here are so expensive?"

The shopkeeper heard the question clearly, and his face showed disdain, "Where can this be called expensive? If we don't sell it at this price, how can our family have food?"

The lord of the kingdom was shocked, this is a bit appalling!

"But the price is so high, how can those ordinary people afford it? No wonder your business is so bad!"

The shopkeeper glanced at the lord of the country with disdain, "We just need to do a good job in the business of big families! Those poor people who have no money, who cares about them! Anyway, they can't afford to sell at a low price!"

"Ridiculous!"

"I said do you want to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, leave quickly! Don't disturb me about my business!" The shopkeeper began to drive people out, quite impatiently, "Dressed so well, I thought I was a rich man, but it turned out to be a poor ghost!"

The lord of the country was furious, Concubine An Guifei held him down, shook her head, and signaled him not to be impulsive, and the lord endured it. I came out today to investigate the situation, not to quarrel with others.

As soon as the lord of the country wanted to leave, a customer came to this store. This is a young man, sixteen or seventeen, dressed in brocade and jade, walking sideways, surrounded by four or five women dressed in flowers, at first glance he is a gentleman.

A hint of disgust flashed in the lord's eyes. In Furong County, those who have money are particularly rich, and those who don't have money can only beg.

When the shopkeeper saw this patron, his face was busy with a smile, especially doglegs, "Young Master Wang, come on, come on, please come in, please come in!"

The young master Wang hugged left and right, and the delicate voice of the beauty beside him made the lord of the country frown again.

Young Master Wang glanced at the shopkeeper with an arrogant expression, "Bring some beautiful materials for a few of my little beauties." ”

"Oops~ Thank you, young master!"

"The young master is the best for the slave family!"

The lord of the country really couldn't stand it anymore and planned to withdraw quickly. Although he has 3,000 beauties in his harem, there is no concubine like them, and he hates such a woman the most.

"Daddy, that person is so annoying!"

Sheng Ge muttered, and the lord rubbed her head, but smiled silently.

"Stop!"

Young Master Wang stopped the country lord and his party, "Little sister, who do you say you hate?"

Young Master Wang smiled so loudly that he walked over step by step, and he was really a complete gentleman. The lord of the country protected Sheng Ge behind him, and was extremely angry at Young Master Wang's death.

Sheng Ge poked his head out, his eyes full of disdain, "Who do you hate?
