The little girl called Qin'er was flushed, she looked at this man with broken legs and was very pitiful, so she gave some more money, in her mind, it should be this person who thanked him again and again with a grateful face, but she never thought that the man was speaking ill of each other. With silver in his hand, he could not advance or retreat.

"The subordinates are rude, we are wrong!" A Qingyue voice came from behind him, and the young man who had been sitting there without moving came over and made a fist to the boss who had lost his legs.

"Forget it!" The boss waved his hand generously, "This is Jishi City, a place under the rule of the Gaodu Governor, the rules are probably not the same as other places, today the Gaodu Governor has won a big victory, I am happy in my heart, I will not worry 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 little guy, "Twenty copper coins." ”

Qin'er's eyes were full of tears, and it seemed that she was about to fall, so she took out another twenty copper coins and handed them to the young man.

After taking the money, the young man put the twenty copper coins neatly in front of the boss, nodded and smiled at him, turned around and walked out, and the two little guys and two companions immediately followed.

The boss looked at their backs, but he couldn't take his eyes off them.

Outside, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and it was obvious that the five people had left, but the boss's gaze still did not retract, and he looked thoughtful.

"That young boy just now is so good-looking!" A woman's voice came from behind him, and the boss turned around. glanced at his mother-in-law and smiled, "What son." It was a woman dressed in disguise, those two companions, skilled, murderous, although they had tried their best to hide, but Lao Tzu crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, but he couldn't hide it from me. I can't move, so you go and tell the village chief to report to me. A couple of suspicious characters came. ”

"These people aren't bad people, are they?" The mother-in-law was obviously reluctant.

"It doesn't matter if he's a bad guy or not, he has to guard against sneaky people, and besides, whether they're bad guys or not. Again, we can tell. In the past, Tan Feng often went to and from the governor's camp, and we people watched him make love with the governor, like a good friend, turned around, didn't we just want to stab the governor, you hurry up and die to the village chief, let the village chief go to the governor of the city. If you are a good person, you will not wronged them. If it's a bad guy, hehe, then we've made a difference. "The owner was triumphant.

"Childe, just now you and Qin'er have revealed several flaws, if the boss with a broken leg is a caring person, he will definitely find out the abnormality." On the hooves of the galloping horse, a companion walked parallel to the young man, and whispered, "It's better to be careful." ”

The young man smiled slightly, "On this way, I have been cautious, and now I have reached the ruling core of the Eastern Army, so naturally I don't need to pay attention to everything, it's okay, even if they find out, it's nothing." I'm going to find them anyway. ”

The middle-aged companion's face was a little worried, "But Childe, in the past, the relationship between the master and General Gao was not a good fate, and it can even be said to be an enemy." This trip is really too risky, in fact, with your identity, ability and strength in your hands, you are all popular people in any country, so why bother to come to Jishi City. ”

The young man strangled Ma Zhuang, turned his face to look at his companion, his face was slightly cold, "Where can I go, Zhao or Qin?" Wei or Qi? Like Jing Rufeng, Jing Rufeng is now proud of his ancestral grave in Zhao State, but the people of Qin State even dug his ancestral grave, Jing Rufeng fled to Zhao State and hid for 20 years, and no one went to dig his ancestral grave in these 20 years. ”

Companion closed his mouth. The young man let out a sigh of relief, shook the reins of his horse, and slowly moved forward, "Gao Yuan is a Yan person after all, and the army under his command is also the army of Yan people." ”

"Childe is right!" Bandang nodded, "It's me wrong." ”

"That man is so rude!" The little guy who called Qin'er caught up and said dissatisfiedly: "I gave him more money, I pitied him, but I didn't want him to be ignorant and hurt people!" ”

"Qin'er, that's a retired soldier, his legs, he shouldn't have it on the battlefield." The young man raised his head to the sky and looked at him for a moment, "But it's also in this Stone City, even in Jicheng City, we can often see disabled and retired soldiers begging on the street, living like wild dogs on the street." It is no wonder that the Eastern Army has such combat effectiveness, Gao Yuan actually took care of those soldiers who retired due to injuries so well, looking at their appearance, they were all self-reliant, and the lame one who came in earlier thought that the same was true. ”

"I'm surprised they all have knives on their waists!" Bandang shook his head and said: "This is Jishi City, and it is also 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 the meaning of their words, haven't you felt it yet?" Those young people were actually proud to participate in the Eastern Army. ”

"It's true that there are too many things I don't understand." Companion nodded.

"Let's go, go to Stone City, where it is, maybe we can find the answer." The young man quickened the pace of progress.

The five of them walked all the way forward, and they couldn't go far, but they saw the lame man who had left earlier. But the young man reined in the reins of his horse, slowed down and walked with them. Turning his face to look at the lame man, he hugged his fists and smiled: "This uncle, this year's harvest is good?" ”

He Dayou said with a smile: "This little brother, my name is He Dayou, the village chief of Baiyang Village, you are from other places, right?" He's really handsome. ”

When these words came out, the young man blushed, and it was nothing to praise a woman for being handsome, but now that he is dressed as a man, it is worth thinking about praising himself for being handsome.

"This year's harvest is good!" The young man changed the subject, looking at the cart of grain behind him.

"Yes, yes, Todudu's blessing, this year's wind and rain are good, and the raw fields of the previous two years have increased their production this year. Of course it's good, and next year will be even better. He Dayou smiled and looked at the cart of grain.

"Is this going to be sent to the city to pay the grain?"

"No, this is to sell, we Jishi City, but there is no such thing as paying public grain, Zhengdong Mansion is bought with money."

"So that's the case, if you don't pay the public grain, then the tax in this stone city must not be low, right?"

"Taxes? There are no taxes! He Dayou said: "We are all retired soldiers, and we don't have to pay taxes on ration fields, and the barren land that is cultivated is also exempt from taxes for three years." ”

"What about the poll tax?"

"There is a poll tax, fifty cents per person per year!" He Dayou said with a smile.

"So low?"

"The little brother also said low, yes, when I thought it was the original, the tax was called a heavy, in addition to the various taxes, the officials and the old men also changed the way to collect money, and they couldn't live to get the soldiers, I had a good life, and then followed General Gao, I really can't imagine that there is such a good day now, the wife and children are hot on the kang, there is meat to eat, there is wine to drink, this life, it is worth Luo!" He Dayou laughed.

"How much is the price of food in Jishi City now?"

He Dayou smiled and reported a number, the young man was stunned for a moment, and the two companions around him were also a little flustered, "Uncle, the price of grain in Jishi City is so low, we are from outside, the price of grain outside is several times that of here, and there are also caravans coming in to collect grain, why don't you sell grain to those merchants, this is several times the price!" ”

"Don't sell it to them!" He Dayou shook his head, "Let's sell it to Zhengdong Mansion." ”

"What's the reasoning?" The middle-aged companion looked at He Dayou puzzled, like looking at an idiot, "Can you make more money but don't?" ”

"This brother, you don't understand Luo!" He Dayou laughed and said, "We have such a good day now, who gave it?" General Gao, what is General Gao doing now, he is fighting with the Donghu people, the war naturally has to be consumed, and we have to ask for money and food, we can't follow General Gao to the battlefield, but we have to do something, the price of collecting grain in the Eastern Mansion is low, but this grain has to be sent to the front line. Those grain merchants from other places don't know why, and they come to us to collect grain at a high price, so it's no wonder that he can receive it! There are a few people inside and outside the city who will not sell grain to them unless they have received great favor from the general. ”

"But I see that the four seas are selling food!" The young man tilted his head, "Why do you give them money?" ”

"Little brother doesn't know, the four seas trade also sells food, but they make that money, and in the end it is still used in our Jishi City, you see we are walking now, and those ditches in the fields, and the houses, livestock, and farm tools of the displaced people are housed in some places farther away, but they are all the money from the four seas trade, and the teacher in our village said, this is called taking from the people and using it for the people. Each of us makes a little money, but we are all hidden, and we can't do anything, but the four seas trade can gather these small money together, which becomes a lot of money, and can do a lot of things! ”

The young man listened to He Dayou's words, was silent for a while, and whispered, "People's hearts, people's hearts!" ”

"What did the little brother say?" He Dayou asked.

"Nothing, nothing!" The young man waved his hand, "I just heard these little brothers say that they are going to join the army, I see that the little brothers are vigorous, why were they beaten back?" ”

He Dayou laughed, "If you are less than age, if you want to join the Eastern Army, you have to be at least sixteen years old, and you have to go to the training camp for two years. ”

"I'll be sixteen next year!" Behind He Dayou, a young man stood up and shouted, "I can go to join the army." ”

"Look at how beautiful you are!" He Dayou smiled, "It's just that when you get to the new barracks, don't cry and run back." (To be continued......)
