Chapter II. 246

I really don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. Although the beggar is a different way of civil and military; But judging from the dilapidated temple outside the Great Wilderness City, it is no longer a question of a beggar or a beggar, it is as tragic as a 'substandard agricultural machinery products' denunciation conference.

According to common sense, the 'beggars with physical disabilities' in this beggar gang are all uniformly allocated by the elders of the beggar gang and handed over to the beggars in the rich areas to share and support;

"You ...... What's going on? ”

In the face of these 'disciples and grandchildren' with empty eyes, Shen Gui didn't know where to start. And the one-armed beggar, as if he had seen through his thoughts, laughed bitterly a few times, and said dejectedly:

"I heard the old man of the uncle of the Great Wilderness City say that the original Great Wilderness City was the rudder, but it was the richest rudder on Youbei Third Road; But in recent years, things have deteriorated, and it has been very difficult to get a good bite to eat......"

Li Le'an, who was disguised as a man, had already gone out with Liu Banxian to look for herbs; And Shen Gui, who stayed here, then saw a scene that made him very worried:

The one-armed beggar gritted his teeth, stretched out his right arm, and with a lift of his forehead, he tore off the rag that had been glued to the wound of his severed arm; What should have been a tender red wound of new flesh has now taken on a white-yellow dull color; And the fluid that flowed from the wounds that had been torn open again was not the bright red color of blood, but translucent turbid pus; The man twisted his head and left side of his body like an anteater, desperately fiddling with the wound with his tongue, and then spitting pus on the ground one by one......

The scene in front of Shen Gui is not strictly speaking, it is not a big scene, at least it will definitely not be more tragic than the Shura Hell on the bank of the Pu River; It is certainly not as good as the sky-high fire that took away 300,000 souls in the East Customs; However, it made Shen Gui feel that his heart was like a knife like an unprecedented, and the pain was unbearable.

"Let the young gang master laugh, if you leave these pus in the wound, not only will the pain be unbearable on the ground, but it will also cause a high fever at night, and it is easy to die like this...... The weather has been a lot warmer lately, and many of my brothers who are frail are ...... Hey......"

"Why?"

Until now, Shen Gui hadn't come up with a reason to convince himself! Although the 'profession' of beggars also has a certain degree of danger, at most it is just a beating, but now in the Huayu Continent, where there are no 'inferior agricultural machinery products', there are so many people who have lost their hands and feet at the same time......

The one-armed beggar spat out a mouthful of pus, smiled and replied:

"Actually, these waste people in the temple now are not flowers...... How can there be a reason that Hanako only needs silver and doesn't want food? We broke the rules set by our ancestors and discredited our flower shop...... Woo......"

This one-armed Hanako, who didn't frown at the time of drinking blood and pecking pus, mentioned the ancestor at this time, but he cried like a child, and his whole body couldn't stop twitching, and the tears of the bean smashed directly on the ground and made a huge roar.

"Don't cry, don't cry, although Grandpa Wu has gone to retire, I am still your young helper, you can tell me something; As for whether it is bad or not, I have to say it......"

Next, under the elaboration of this one-armed flower son, Shen Gui finally understood why this group of 'disciples and disciples' came to this point!

About three years ago, Mr. Li Jia's bookkeeper in the Great Wilderness City died of illness, and the family was replaced by a young man named Li Sanlin, who came to the Great Wilderness City to take over the management of accounts and rent. In all fairness, this kid is indeed a character, and after taking office, he was not in a hurry to ignite three majestic fires; On the contrary, it took two years to re-inventory all the Li family's industries in the entire Great Wilderness City. The accounts should be deed, the supplements that should be made up, the repairs that should be repaired, the neat work, and the attitude compared to the previous one, which is also considered 'modest'.

However, in the heart of this 'new official', of course, there are different plans.

As the young man called 'Stick' said, the world in this great deserted city has long been sluggish. But their Li family was unmoved, and they were all engaged in the rent-collecting business of 'ensuring income during drought and flood'; not counting anything else, just the local rent, didn't their Li family discuss how much they wanted to collect behind closed doors? And although they do not interfere in the business of those outsiders, no matter whether the business is prosperous or not, the amount of silver that should be collected is very small.

Let outsiders think, since this great desolate city has decayed, it is necessary to change places to do business! Nankang can't go, can't you go to Fengjing? However, these businessmen in the Great Wilderness City are the descendants of the first to come here to pan for gold; Not only are their business here, their ancestral business here, and their families here, but even their connections and sources of goods are all here. If you want to close down, sell your property and leave, those Li family members won't even spit out a single hair and return it to you!

Without capital, isn't it a pig-like way to live everywhere?

Moreover, don't think that these Li family members are all fools who only know how to kill chickens and take eggs. When our ancestors were in business, the ancestors of these 'businessmen' were all refugees who fled the famine! Speaking of settling accounts, who else in this world can count his Li family? When the boy of the Li family couldn't fully recognize the ligature, he had already begun to figure out the calculations; Before the table is high, people can already step on the bench and help the elders sort out the account books and deeds!

Just say that a person like Li Sanlin, as long as he enters your store and looks at it a few times, he can easily calculate the approximate income of your store in a month; And although they will cleverly set up a name to force a silver tael, but the number of showdowns in each family is also a 'choking neck' price that you can't swallow or spit out.

With such a shrewd 'owner', naturally you won't be able to make a lot of money in Dongyoulu, but if you can endure this sullen breath, you can live a slightly better life than the poor people, and if you leave Dongyoulu, then you can only turn back into a homeless person again......

Although the Li family is so deep-rooted and powerful, it can be passed on to Li Sanlin's generation, and the original fat difference of 'Mr. Accounting' is really getting harder and harder! The reason is also very simple, now every shop in the Great Wilderness City has a share of its own family; Moreover, the Li family's 'taxes' that were forcibly apportioned had already reached a critical point that they could afford......

To put it simply, Li Sanlin carefully finished the account books and found that the 'big cake' of the Great Wilderness City had already been carved up by his own family, and he, the new bookkeeper, had not tasted a bite!

Don't look at the title of Mr. Bookkeeper, it sounds like a little minion; But if it is in this great wilderness city, his name Li Sanlin is far more useful than Li Deng. Although the Prime Minister is in power, it is too far away for the common people of the Great Wilderness City; And the 'Earth Emperor' who can control their power of life and death is this Li Sanlin!

However, Li Sanlin is still a junior in the family at this time, and in the face of those elders in the clan who have finished dividing the 'cake', he Li Xiaosan really can't afford to provoke anyone!

In the end, by chance, Li Sanlin hit the idea on those hard-working beggars.

Because last winter, the entire Youbei Third Road was in a period of preparation for war. According to common sense, whenever a war is coming, prices will inevitably rise sharply; But the Dongyou Road in the hands of the Li family is very different from other places.

Because of these clan elders, in the face of the alliance between Mobei and Beiyan, they were naturally frightened, and they privately sold the materials in their hands. And this kind of selling of the 'black industry' really can't be put on the table to negotiate the price, after all, these old men all have large quantities of goods in their hands, if those merchants collect enough goods from you, my hope may not be taken over!" As a result, these old men simply acquiesced and made plans to move their families and escape the war.

So many goods are in a hurry to get rid of each other, and the bulk cargo owners have not been able to reach a unified price for various reasons, which naturally leads to the extremely abundant goods on the market in the entire Dongyou Road, and the price is also suppressed at an extremely low price.

As a result, those merchants from all over the country who made a lot of money in Dongyou Road naturally became generous. The merchant is a businessman, and he eats this dangerous meal, and now that he has made a windfall, he naturally wants to ask for a good omen! Li Sanlin once saw a big grain merchant in Nankang, and with a wave of his hand, he threw out an ingot of ten taels of gold yuan and gave it to a one-legged beggar......

Li Sanlin has no capital and no foundation, so he naturally can't participate in this business; However, when he saw that these beggars had made a fortune, he had a 'brilliant' idea: I can do this business! No cost!

As a result, Li Sanlin, who had a black heart and lacked morality, changed from a bookkeeper who held a pen and calculated chips to an executioner with blood on his hands...... No, he is more cruel than a business-like executioner! He did such evil things that anger and resentment, and he didn't even have the qualifications to become a 'human'!

Although Li Sanlin acted so frenetic, but after all, he was still leaning against the big tree of the Li family, who was willing to call the shots for a few beggars with broken arms and legs? As for the Lord Li Zilin of the Great Wilderness City, maybe he didn't even take himself seriously......

After a winter, the War between the North and the North officially began. And those businessmen and high-rollers who successfully 'bought the bottom' and made a lot of money in Dongyou Road have also stayed away from this place of right and wrong; Li Sanlin, the bookkeeper, also relied on slavery to drive those beggars to 'earn' the first bucket of 'blood gold' in their lives; and those 'medicine scum' after Li Sanlin ran out, since they lost the high-rollers who scattered their wealth everywhere, Li Sanlin had no reason to continue to 'support' them.

Throw it back from where it was caught! Now they are just missing a leg and an arm, and they are not a broken head, are they not the same as 'beggars' who can eat swill and ask for gluttonous food?

After the spring blossomed, Shen Gui also met this group of survivors. According to Li Le'an's statement, as long as Shen Gui came for about a month later, the beggars near the entire Great Wilderness City would be considered to be 'beheaded all over the place'......

At this moment, Liu Banxian and Li Le'an had already returned to the broken temple with two baskets full of herbs. The two only had time to listen to a rough idea, and Liu Banxian turned his head and walked out of the broken temple. Of course, Shen Gui knew that although this strange old man usually looked a little crazy, he was actually the same as himself, a very soft-minded person; And Li Le'an has the burden of saving people on his shoulders at this time, even if he is full of regret in his heart, he can only let the tears flow freely, but he has never slowed down half a minute.........
