Cui Xiuning chewed the wheat, and in the afterglow of the perspective, he found a pair of shiny narrow eyes looking at him, as if he was still licking his tongue. When she looked back, she felt that the fluffy female beast was especially pitiful.

Cui Xiuning didn't dare to look at it anymore, feeling that the wheat was not sweet anymore.

"Look at the way it looks, it really eats wheat."

"Now it's snowing heavily, even the rats are hiding, and there is a shortage of poultry in the village, so it can't move with its cubs, so it can't go out to forage for food." After Li Luo finished eating the wheat, he began to cut the bamboo tube.

"I'd like to give it a handful of wheat." Cui Xiuning frowned.

"You are a woman, and it is normal to be soft-hearted. But a handful of wheat really can't save it, and it will starve to death. Just like the people in this village. ”

"Will anyone starve to death?"

"Yes. Today is only the third day of the lunar month, and many villagers are running out of food. It will be difficult to survive until next spring. ”

"This little wheat should be able to eat for three days. I decided to go out into the field tomorrow to dig up some wild vegetables and eat them for a few more days. ”

"Forget it. With such thick snow, where do you go to dig wild vegetables? You have to wait until the snow melts. Besides, you don't know Korean, let alone ancient Korean, and you can't even communicate when you go out. ”

"Will the government provide relief?"

"The government has issued a notice to the people, saying that they want the neighbors to help them tide over the difficulties together, but they have not mentioned the words of grain relief."

"The bullshit government takes away the people's food, no matter who starves to death."

"This topic is boring, so I won't talk about it. Today, Boss Song told me that within a few days, there should be a village official who will come to the door and handle the household registration for us. ”

"How is it so easy to settle down? I thought it was a toss-up. ”

"In recent years, the population of Goryeo has suffered a lot of losses, and I wish that the foreign population would settle down and bear the burden of taxation and servitude. One more family, one more target of exploitation. ”

"Where do we have the money to pay taxes now? The village is coming to the door, is it still going to be levied this time? ”

Lao Song said that it must be paid. We don't have land, we don't have to pay agricultural taxes, but we have to pay export taxes and levy taxes. ”

"This ...... Now we have a hard time eating, where can we still pay taxes! How much do I have to pay? ”

"The mouth tax is 300 wen per person, and the east tax is calculated according to the acres of land and household registration, and about 200 wen per person."

"So we need a whole amount of money to pay taxes?"

"Yes."

"What are the consequences of not handing over?"

"If you have property, you will confiscate it, and if you don't have it, you will arrest people."

"Jail?"

"It's not. It is to be arrested for hard labor to pay taxes. Men work as people's husbands, and women work in the official textile bureau, and many people will be exhausted to death. ”

"Let's run, then...... Forget it, where can we run like this? ”

"Consistent money, it won't let us run away. It's just that time is a little tight, and the belt can't find a suitable buyer for the time being. ”

"What do you do?"

"There's no good way to do it right now. You have also seen this place, the inhabitants are too poor, there is no water in the river, and it is naturally difficult for us to find money. ”

"Didn't you learn something today? Tell me about it. ”

"Okay. Although Ganghwa Island is less than half a county in China, because Ganghwa Island has been the capital of Goryeo for 40 years, it has an administrative level of county and a population of nearly 100,000.

There are hundreds of villages like Modongzhai on the island, and the most prosperous is Jianghua Mountain City, which is also where the palace was located in those years, and now there are county guards. Lao Song said that Jianghua Mountain City has a population of more than 10,000, and there are many wealthy people. ”

"Then we can try our luck in Jianghua Mountain City, if only we could sell our belts."

"If you enter the city, you have to collect a city tax, 50 wen per person, and 100 for two people."

"I'll go, this also costs money? Is there still a heavenly principle? ”

"Actually, it costs more than 100 yuan. We are in the south of the island, and the mountain city is in the north of the island, and we have to walk more than 50 miles, and more than 100 miles back and forth. ”

"I understand, I won't be able to come back that day, I have to stay in the hotel and ask for money. Besides, we don't support walking 100 miles of food as energy, and it seems that we can't go without half the money in hand. ”

"We only have three cents, so we can only nest in this Modong Village temporarily."

"What about the situation in Modongzhai?"

"There are more than 100 households and more than 600 people in Modongzhai. In addition to the Goryeo people, there are several Jurchen families and several Han families, all of whom are from China. Among them, there are only about a dozen families with solid families. The original Park family was a really rich landowner, but unfortunately it was wiped out. ”

"That is to say, if you want to find money, you can only make up your mind on the heads of the honest people?"

"Policeman, you've gone bad."

"Fart, did I say something bad?"

"Okay. In fact, among the four villages near Mani Mountain, the richest is the Liu family. But the Liu family is a sitting tiger, and it is difficult to deal with. If one is not good, we will shout that the heavens should not be good, and the earth will not be spiritual. ”

"Hmph, it's just a local tyrant and a bad gentry, a bully landlord, who should be revolutionized and defeated."

"Local tyrants and inferior gentry? I heard that although the Liu family is only a side branch of the Liu family in Zhenzhou, it occupies tens of thousands of acres of land on the island, several sea ships, and hundreds of private soldiers, all of whom wear armor. Do you think it's as simple as just a bad gentleman? The Liu family is basically the Emperor of the Earth, and they are one of the four major families on the island. ”

"Give me the bamboo tube you made, don't fix it, just drink water."

Li Luo gave her two bamboo tubes, but he didn't stop the knife.

"What are you doing here?" Cui Xiuning enjoyed taking a sip of boiling water, "Fugitive, let's drink some water first." ”

"I'm making a bow clip."

"Hunting?"

"How do you know?"

"When I was studying at the police academy, I was introduced to shotguns and bow clips. There are many people in the countryside who use it, causing a lot of hidden dangers, and the police station knows that it will be confiscated. ”

"You're a girl, why are you a police officer? Or be a detective? ”

"My dad is a criminal policeman, and my grandpa is... Also counted as a policeman. I like this line of work too. But my parents didn't want my brother to be a police officer anymore, they preferred my brother. ”

"Your grandfather is also a policeman, what do you mean? Do not understand. ”

"Well, it's... Secret police. ”

"Understood, your grandfather is a spy. Which side is he? ”

"Nonsense, my grandfather must be a red spy, is it still from overseas?"

"Are you homesick?"

"What do you say?"

"Women should not be too sad, they are prone to illness. Once you get sick, it's a big problem. ”

"I'm not as fragile as you think."

"After I finish making the bow card, I will go to the mountain tomorrow to set up a card, and then I will walk around the village to try my luck, and go to the mountain early the day after tomorrow to see if there is any harvest."

"Fugitive, you forgot something very important, you can't catch prey without this."

"No bait!"

"Yes. Are you willing to use wheat as bait? May be eaten by birds. ”

"Just use half a liter and gamble."

"It's good to have a toothbrush, but it's not okay not to brush your teeth."

"If we get pig hair, we'll do it. Toothpaste has to be done too. ”

"Then I'll clean up the toilet at home tomorrow, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go to the toilet."

"By the way, and toilet paper...... That's a problem too! ”

"What do the villagers of Goryeo use? There's no paper, right? ”

"Maybe use wood chips, Yahao toilet chips. Rich people use paper. ”

Cui Xiuning: "......"

Li Luo made a few bamboo chips, found a piece of rope to make strings, and a simple bow card was completed. The half of the bamboo bought for seven cents is finally worth the price.

At night, one person still sleeps on the kang and one person sleeps under the kang. The she-fox was driven to the main house to be the "head of the house", and the wheat was also hidden.

The next morning, the snow had stopped, the wind had subsided, and a ray of sunlight reflected on the snow, which seemed to be a good sign.

Li Luo took half a liter of wheat under Cui Xiuning's reluctant gaze. Then leave the courtyard and head in the direction of Mani Mountain.
