The medicine shop was dark, and Xiao Zhuang made a fist, as if he was full of anger at this moment, but when this Li Zhenxiang was a confidant, he confided in him.

"Well, do you see a few shops outside?" Xiao Zhuang faintly pointed to the other shops outside the pharmacy.

In the daylight, they are all locked and never open to welcome guests.

Li Zhenxiang was puzzled, the city is prosperous, but why didn't she open the door to do business, earn some silver, and subsidize the family?

Xiao Zhuang took another sip of fragrant wine: "These merchants can't afford to pay taxes and silver, and they have sold all their belongings a few days ago, just because the officials are pressing step by step, and in recent days they have been hiding in the deep mountains and old forests to avoid the limelight.

The girl was stunned again, this from the moment she just entered the door, she heard the word "tax silver" never stopped, how to pay this tax silver, so that all the neighbors in the city closed their doors one after another, and they had to be locked up in the county government to be whipped.

"The girl asked about this tax silver, the clerk under the official family of Linxue City needs to pay ten taels of silver every month, ten taels of silver, this is a silver ingot with white flowers!"

"What? Ten taels in January? ”

The girl was stunned, the slightly richer families in this city had a monthly income of more than ten taels, so once the tax was paid, the whole family had no more rations.

What's more, those farmer tenants, don't say that ten taels a month, five taels is an excellent harvest, so how can they let the people of this city live?

Xiao Zhuang saw this little guy standing on the table with a fierce face, so he smiled bitterly and continued to tell this sad story to Zhenxiang.

"Little servant, you also know that most of the people in the city can't give such taxes and silver, so these officials began to rob and abuse, and when they saw valuable things at home, they took them for themselves.

These closed shops were also very pitiful, and the family's finances were looted by the officials.

In this way, the government was still not satisfied, and actually moved the crooked idea of robbing people, so he hid with his family. ”

"They are not afraid that you will rebel, and if you collect the cash like this, how can the people live?"

Xiao Zhuang immediately covered Zhenxiang's mouth, and beads of sweat oozed out of his head, flowing towards his cheeks.

"Don't scream so loudly that you'll be heard, but you're going to be killed!" Xiao Zhuang skimmed his eyes, "They have the approval issued by the official, what can we do, a few days ago, there were a few Xiao Qingzhuang protesting in the street, and the next day they all disappeared inexplicably, which scared the people of the whole city stupidly, and no one dared to instigate the incident and cause a riot among the people of the city."

Subsequently, a female general passed by the city with a princess, we originally thought that this general could help us get justice, but unexpectedly thought that this general was a traitor who betrayed the country and sought glory. ”

The girl's eyes were full of embarrassment, thinking that day she came to this snowy city to send the little lord and relatives, and saw that the city was full of flowers, and the whole people cheered, and she felt that this city was a thing of Fu Minkang, but she didn't expect to see it today, it was all the illusion made by the master, and this city was probably also controlled by the Dongling Emperor, and the people in the city were used as puppets and at the mercy of them.

"Such a gift, but this little guy sees a lot of people in the city, so how do you survive in this snow city?"

Xiao Zhuang was polite today, sandwiched a piece of beef and Zhenxiang, and continued: "Sell girls!" ”

"Selling girls?"

"Yes, it's all about living on my own girl!"

At such a glance, Zhenxiang can't touch her head, such a city, why do you have to rely on girls to live?

"I don't know that the snow city is the origin of the royal incense dew, just because the fragrance dew is stored on the top of the snow mountain, and this place is extremely cold, but it is very accessible to people to climb on the top of the mountain to collect dew.

The people of Linxue City are extremely resistant to cold, and in the early years, the official family sent a group of young people up the mountain at a high price to collect dew.

But if an ordinary family has a small Zhuang who goes up the mountain to collect dew for the official family, he can get fifteen taels of silver every month.

With such a high price, after paying ten taels of silver per month, each household can also get five taels of silver, and their lives can be regarded as peaceful.

Unexpectedly, within half a month of going up the mountain, this group of young people froze to death on the top of this snow. ”

Suddenly, Zhenxiang was shocked to slap the table, and stood upright and leaned towards Xiao Zhuang: "Frozen to death?" ”

"Yes, it's too cold, it's all frozen to death!"

Zhenxiang was dumbfounded, a group of bright white young people, why would they freeze to death at a young age?

Xiao Zhuang didn't look at Li Zhenxiang who was in front of him, but continued to say: "In this way, a group of Xiao Qingzhuang went up the mountain, and a group of Xiao Qingzhuang froze to death.

Then, a good county order surnamed Lin came to the city, that is, to stop serving incense dew and pay tribute to the cold grass unique to the northern border, but the emperor did not blame it.

And last year, there was a Hou Ye in the city, which was against the Lin County Order in every way, two months ago, this Hou Ye was stunned to send troops, robbed a group of young people to go to the top of the mountain to pick fragrant dew, naturally, this group of young people is to go without returning, and the snow on the dome will always be with you.

In this way, this deep snow fragrance dew came out again, as if I heard that it was given to a royal concubine Niangniang as a congratulatory gift by the officials of the capital, this imperial concubine Niangniang loves makeup, but I don't know that for a few drops of incense, almost half of the little young people in Snow City were destroyed, this Niangniang is too vicious. ”

Zhenxiang slapped it on the table again, and her mind condensed, this Imperial Concubine Shen is a good person in the world, how can she be said like this.

It's just that the little maid can be regarded as understanding the lonely look of Imperial Concubine Shen when Yu Shangshu presented the gouache fragrance that day.

A drop of fragrant dew was sent to the court, two lines of blood and tears were condensed on the peak, and dozens of young people were strong, all of them were permanently on the top of the snow dome.

"And after that?" The little guy asked again.

"After that? After that, the grandfather was raided, and after asking about the beheading, another county master came.

As soon as this lord came, the taxes were recollected, but the young men of the whole city escaped their bad luck, but a group of girls were arrested by the county lord, and they were given 20 taels of silver in a month, and if they couldn't pay it, they were robbed and burned. ”

"Why did you change it to women's dew this time?" Zhenxiang calmed down a little, sat down, and continued to listen.

"The little guy doesn't know, although men are several times stronger than women, and their strength is stronger than that of equal women, but this vitality is not comparable to ordinary women, but when ordinary people reach the limit of vital signs, women can always survive the limit and escape death.

Recently, this group of girls in the mountains can indeed endure the extreme cold, this month has passed, I heard that only a few women are too young, failed to withstand the extreme cold, died on the top of the snow-capped mountain, the rest of the women are all given a month of money.

It's just that...... I just heard that their hands and feet were stiff, and I don't know if they will be able to walk as usual after coming down the mountain.

The official just came to grab our Ganoderma lucidum, and he knocked on the side to let his little daughter go up the mountain to collect the dew and pay the monthly tax silver.

There is a little daughter in the family of Xiaozhuang, but she can't bear to let her go up the mountain.

Xiao Zhuang knows that in this way, it must be with the eternal stay in the mountains and the snow forever, no, even not."

Xiao Zhuang began to be manic, but it was Li Zhenxiang who was worried, this Dongling Emperor was too hateful, Dongqi City sent the prince to sacrifice to the sky, and this Linxue City let the Hou Ye dew, under this world, there is no heavenly reason?

The girl's anger bombarded her whole body, her anger was like a vermilion bird that broke the sky, and her body was surrounded by vermilion flames, like a prisoner of ghost flames, and she exploded her strength violently, breaking the pharmacy on Zhencheng Street.

"In this way, I will go up the mountain and see how cold this extremely cold ice and snow is!"
