Chapter 15 This master is really weak
Miao Er soon came over with a well-dressed old man, who had been in a salt pan watching the stove households busy.
"Brother Huang!"
He said with a smile.
"He Gong, look at your complexion, this year is another round of money!"
Huang Zhen said with a smile.
Yang Xin and Huang Ying followed behind and saluted.
"I can't talk about the rolling of money, it's just barely enough to eat, and our stove households are miserable, are you still the old rule?"
He Gong said.
"Yes, old rules!"
Huang Zhen said.
"Then we'll pay the same price!"
He Gong said briskly.
The smuggling transaction was negotiated in a few simple words, in fact, the more this business process is simpler, but both parties are not in a hurry, the loading has to start at night, and the day is too rampant, this kind of thing needs a little caution after all. Huang Zhen was invited by He Gong to drink tea in a nearby grass hut, Yang Xin and Huang Ying walked around the salt fields, if you don't look at the miserable appearance of those stove households, the scenery here is still very good. Not far away is the vast sea, the blue sky and white clouds of seagulls soaring, the shore is a piece of silver, reflected by the salt crystals on the ground.
"This He Gong is also a stove household?"
Yang Xin asked.
"Yes, the rich stove is similar to the landlord and gentry in the village, although he is also a stove household, but he has a lot of salt fields and pastures in his hands, and there are also roads in the government, and there are many thugs, and these stove households have to listen to him.
He stepped forward to deal with the government.
He liaised for the sale of illicit and official salt.
Whoever dares to bypass him to sell salt here is not uncommon for him to be sunk into the sea by his thugs. ”
Huang Ying said.
"It's the same everywhere!"
Yang Xin looked at the unkempt stove in front of him and said.
"Yes, it's the same everywhere, there are gentry in the village who have the final say, and there are rich stoves in the salt field who have the final say, that is, the fishermen in Beitang have to listen to the fishermen, and the government won't care about this, as long as they pay them money, if not, why would Daddy desperately want to study for his younger brother to gain fame? If you have merit and fame, you will have all of them, even if you are only promoted in the examination, some people will send the fields to send slaves, and even some people will take the fields to take refuge, although they have to pay the grain for nothing, but they are exempt from all taxes, as long as we collect less than the government. If you pass the Jinshi examination or become an official directly, then you can do whatever you want, we just load a boatload of private salt and openly cross the river and the west banknotes, and no one will care. Miss Wang's entourage went to Beijing on a rented boat, but do you know who gave money to whom? ”
Huang Ying said.
Yang Xin listened to it.
"It was the shipowner who gave them money, and the shipowner served them all the way, managed their food and drink, and had to give Miss Wang silver as pocket money, but the shipowner did not suffer at all, because he also loaded 40,000 catties of goods on the ship, and he didn't pay any fees and taxes when the three lanterns were lit up along the way, and even if there were contraband, there would be no check."
Huang Ying said.
"It's good to be an official, it's good to be an official, wear leather shoes and a watch, and run around the street with a chick in your arms!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"What is a watch?"
Huang Ying asked curiously.
"Have you ever seen a Western chiming bell?"
Yang Xin asked.
"Miss Wang's family has it there, but it's not a Western product, it's homemade by Yingtian craftsmen."
Huang Ying said.
"Huh?!"
Yang Xin was stunned.
He really didn't know that the Ming Dynasty was so fast in line with the world, and it was only twenty or thirty years that he had already produced his own striking clocks, and it was obvious that another way to make a fortune had been blocked, at least with his understanding of mechanical clocks, what he would make was limited to the primary version of the striking clock.
He was about to give Huang Yingkop a watch, when a stove with salt ash walked in front of him, probably because he was too tired, his feet slipped.
Yang Xin hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold on.
The latter stood there gasping for breath before thanking him.
"You've got to wear a pair of shoes, too!"
Yang Xin looked at his leg and said.
This person only wears a pair of calf nose pants, let alone shoes, not even long pants, and the calf nose pants are also patches and patches are all rotten, and his legs and feet have turned gray because they have been soaked in salt water all year round, and he can't tell whether it is skin or a hard shell. And it is stained with salt crystals, and his hair and beard are also full of salt crystals, and his eyes are not very good from the way they look at people.
"If the shoes are rotten, they are gone, and if the body is rotten, they can still grow, and the shoes are worth more than the skin on the body!"
The man said.
Yang Xin was speechless.
The stove households really can't afford to wear shoes, just like the slender men can't afford to wear clothes, they don't have land for men and women to weave, everything has to be bought, and working in the salt pans with shoes is obviously too luxurious, and even wearing clothes is a luxury......
The cheapest thing for them is their own skin.
"Hey, isn't this the sister of the Huang family?"
A voice suddenly rang out.
Huang Ying's face immediately changed to a disgusted expression.
The stove hurried away.
Yang Xin raised his head and looked ahead, a man who didn't look much older than himself was looking at Huang Ying with bright eyes, he was wearing a long cloth shirt, which was quite neat, but he could still see patches. In other words, his economic strength is not the same level as He Gong, but the long cloth shirt on his body seems to be from the Yamen, Yang Xin doesn't know much about this thing, so he can only say that it looks like it. He was followed by seven poorly dressed men, all with sticks, knives and guns......
The Ming Dynasty couldn't help but cold weapons.
Because the army is dominated by firearms, it is legal for the people to privately possess cold weapons, and bows and crossbows are not a big deal. As for firearms, it is definitely not good, but the punishment is insufficient, that is, hiding a cannon at home and being caught, it is nothing more than 80 rods and 3,000 li, and 10 guns will be increased to 100 rods and 3,000 rods, and the meaning of taking out some silver to execute will pass at once.
The result is the flood of folk cold weapons, and the rise of martial arts is the Ming Dynasty, but it is not Master Yan and the like, the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty are real, and the fantasy system is not at all.
The guys walked over to the disgusted gazes of the stove owners on both sides.
"Blackmail!"
Huang Ying whispered.
Yang Xin understood.
The man smiled, and walked up to them with his subordinates, he ignored Yang Xin directly, and his eyes were fixed on Huang Ying's face, but a few behind him stared at Yang Xin viciously, signaling him to be smarter and not disturb his boss Pickle Girl.
"Sister of the Huang family, we haven't seen each other for a few days, but my brother misses you so much!"
The puffy grinned.
"Get out!"
Huang Ying scolded angrily.
"Hey, the little temper is still so stubborn, my brother likes your little temper, sister of the Huang family, what are you doing here? Don't you want to sell smuggled salt? This is the crime of killing the head, my brother has eaten the emperor's grain since his ancestors, even if it is for you, you can't bend the law for personal gain! Brothers, who went to Deputy Envoy Hu for me, and said that someone wanted to sell smuggled salt and was met by our brothers! ”
Splashy said with a different face.
A few of his subordinates immediately followed suit, but none of them moved, and Huang Ying was not scared because of this.
"You, how can you rely on it to smear people's innocence out of thin air?"
Yang Xin said weakly.
It also looked like I was scared.
Huang Ying subconsciously held his forehead.
"Who are you?"
Splashy looked Yang Xin up and down.
"I, I'm her cousin!"
Yang Xin continued to face those knives and sticks with a frightened face and cowardly eyes, as frightened and helpless as if he was facing this scene for the first time.
"Cousin?"
Suspicious.
"We have ordered a baby kiss since we were children!"
Yang Xin quickly changed his face to happiness and said.
Huang Ying next to her blushed.
"Doll kiss!"
The tone of the splashing tone suddenly rose.
The expression was as if someone had robbed him of a lollipop.
Yang Xin reached out to wrap his hand around Huang Ying's waist and faced him with a sincere smile......
"I'll beat you up a baby kiss!"
The splash roared angrily, and his right fist went straight to Yang Xin's door, and Yang Xin fell to the side as if he was pulled by Huang Ying. But this splash was not waste, and the fist fell into the air and the knee went up, but Yang Xin still easily avoided it in the same way. The splash also felt that something was wrong, Yang Xin was obviously not the waste wood he imagined, but he knew what Huang Zhen was doing, since Yang Xin followed Huang Zhen to sell smuggled salt, it would definitely not be waste firewood.
"This is practiced, I want you to see what a real master is today!"
Said with a sinister smile.
After speaking, he took off his long cloth shirt, revealing his sturdy body inside, with not only large tattoos but also a few scars on his body. This year is not the kind of goods that can mix this mouthful of food with Brother Long, this year's fight is a real fight, and he dares to go directly to the spear, and he doesn't have any real ability to eat this bite of food and live for only three days.
Extort?
Extortion can be a dangerous task in the age of civil fighting, bows and arrows.
Da Ming Law entered people's homes at night for no reason and was killed!
The playful subordinates were in a hurry.
Even those stove households have gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Then, then you can't slap people in the face!"
Yang Xin still said weakly.
Huang Ying was speechless and pulled the hand on his waist and walked aside.
"Don't slap your face, you won't hit your face!"
Said with a sinister smile.
After speaking, he suddenly stepped forward, raised his feet and went straight to the middle of Yang Xin's legs.
Yang Xin stepped back to avoid it.
Splashing feet jumped up at the same time, picked up his fist and volleyed directly into his face, Yang Xin stepped forward with great speed and brushed his right side, but at the moment of wiping, both hands held his right ankle at the same time, and continued to move forward with a loud roar. The splashy left foot hit the ground, and he threw himself into the mud with his lost center of gravity, and with Yang Xin's forward steps, he used his chin to plow a ravine in the mud that was glistening with salt crystals. Because his jaw kept pushing forward, he couldn't even scream, and the next moment he was violently picked up in Yang Xin's second roar, slicing backwards like a frog on one leg......
"Bang!"
With the splash of water, he was smashed into the high-concentration salt water that he had been basking in for a day, and he doubted his life with his back to the sky.
There was petrification all around.
Yang Xin turned around......
"Master? This master is really weak! ”
He looked back at the splash who had not yet woken up from the ups and downs of life, and looked up with disdain like the Hulk who had thrown Loki.
Huang Ying, who was opposite him, smiled like a flower blooming
