Chapter 40: The Autumn Harvest

During the period when Liu Dalu left Tiejiabao, Tiejiabao was not peaceful.

For those who have just arrived in Tiejiabao, the existence of monsters is simply shocking.

"Why are there monsters in Tiejiabao?"

"Do youkai eat people?"

"Why are the people of Tiejiabao accustomed to the existence of monsters? Is there some kind of deal between Tiejiabao and the youkai, such as giving the child to the youkai to eat or something..."

"Are we going to be food for the monsters? Eaten by a youkai? ”

The inherent murderous reputation of youkai has destroyed the hearts and minds of some people, and for these people, even starving to death of thirst outside, it is better than being eaten by youkai.

That night, a dozen of the newcomers sneaked away, scared to stay here.

The next day, Tiema, who learned of this, sent someone to inform all the newcomers who had just come to Tiejiabao: "Whoever wants to leave can leave, we Tiejiabao will not stay." ”

This is the attitude of the Iron Horse, and the Iron Horse did not explain to these people that the demon king is actually very good, has a very kind personality, and will use spells to heal people, he knows that these people will not believe it, and will think that he is just deceiving people.

After that, more than 20 people left Tiejiabao, but more remained, such as the people from Zhoujia Village, who came first, all of them stayed.

Those who leave and those who stay have their own ideas, and time will tell which of those ideas is correct.

Liu Dalu soon heard about this, and the first thought in his heart was: Damn, doesn't it mean that the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger? It seems that people's impression of monsters is even greater than that of harsh government, even if they know that returning to Qingping County is a death, they dare not stay in Tiejiabao.

Fortunately, Liu Dalu also knew that there were also people who stayed, and more people stayed, which is a good thing, it is equivalent to screening once, and the people who stay may have such and such purposes, but Liu Dalu believes that as long as there is enough time, these people will become his believers sooner or later, and the people of Tiejiabao are proof of this.

For the next period of time, Liu Dalu maintained the frequency of going to Tiejiabao once in ten days, and continued to refresh his sense of existence in Tiejiabao, but the number of believers did not make much breakthrough.

Class: Snake

Force: 400

Min: 280

Chi: 88

Believer: 2550 (unfolded/contracted)

Magic: None

Faith Points: 530

The number of believers has grown from more than 2,400 to more than 2,500 now, which is those who have never seen Lin Feng in Tiejiabao before, such as Tie Yong's daughter-in-law Wang, Wang Yong's daughter-in-law, etc., as for those newcomers, it seems that only Liao Liao has become his believers during this time.

Liu Dalu began to wonder why this was, why those later people accepted him so slowly, and when he had dinner with everyone in the Demon King Palace one day, he saw that these people were all old people from Tiejiabao, and when he heard these talking about those people, Liu Dalu understood why.

"Those outsiders are so annoying."

"That is, our Tiejiabao accepted them, and instead of appreciating them, they thought we had some intentions."

"Hey, this is what they think too much, they always thought that the demon king would eat people, and they all guarded against us, for fear that we would cut them down and give them to the demon king to eat, haha."

"Well, that's the case, they always thought that we were the accomplices of the demon king, helping the demon king catch people and eat."

"I persuaded them a few times, but they didn't believe it at all, and they didn't bother to say anything, so let them go."

"Me too, and I'm too lazy to tell them now."

In this kind of defensive situation, Liu Dalu understood that no matter what he wanted to do, those people would think that Liu Dalu had other intentions, so Liu Dalu simply didn't think about it, let it be, twenty-five faith points a day was enough, as long as he didn't squander it.

When he made a decision in his heart and stopped thinking about it, Liu Dalu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and the frequency of going to Tiejiabao every ten days became once every half a month, and most of them sent the children to the village entrance and came back.

With the return of those homeless people to Qingping County, the legend that there are monsters in Tiejiabao has spread in Qingping County, but most people are obsessed with this and don't believe it, so there are still homeless people coming to Tiejiabao, because Liu Dalu is no longer in the village, and many homeless people can't look at him at all, so these homeless people live in Tiejiabao in peace, and the population of Tiejiabao continues to rise.

While the population continues to rise, the pressure is also rising, Tiejiabao has taken in the homeless, at least you have to give people a bite to eat, right?

This led to more and more people coming to the Demon King's Palace, and at the most, the number of people living in the Demon King's Palace had exceeded five hundred, and many people lived for several days, and they were reluctant to go back.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the time entered September, which was the most important season in ancient times, because it represented the autumn harvest.

The people of Tiejiabao began to get nervous, because the quality of the autumn harvest is directly related to whether to eat bran or drink thin in the next year.

Because he was afraid that the demon king would not understand, Tie Ling also emphasized the importance of the next autumn harvest to Liu Dalu, and told Liu Dalu that the people of Tiejiabao would not come to the Demon King's Palace during this time.

Of course, Liu Dalu knew what the autumn harvest meant, and he also joined the ranks of the Tiejiabao autumn harvest, of course, he couldn't go to harvest the crops, but he could protect the safety of the people of Tiejiabao.

However, it is a bit strange, since the last time Hurricane Village sent people to intimidate Tiejiabao, there are obviously fewer bandit spies near Tiejiabao, and the Fort Guard Team is still a little suspicious, thinking that Hurricane Village is not brewing any big moves, so the Fort Guard team increased patrols during the autumn harvest, but until the end of the autumn harvest, Hurricane Village still did not see a shadow, and no accidents happened.

It is a good thing that nothing happened, but when the rice and grain were put into storage, everyone's hearts were full of worry. , because this year's harvest is nearly 20% less than in previous years!!

This year's weather is too hot, even if the people of Tiejiabao keep saving, some crops still die, resulting in a decrease in the yield by 20%.

But the bad news is not over, just after the autumn harvest, the county town came to collect taxes, notified the Tiejiabao people of this year's tax interest rate, more than before, reached seventy, the most important thing is that this seventy percent is according to the previous year's harvest when the best time to pay taxes, this year's harvest is not good, according to this algorithm, the most productive people can leave a few dozen catties of grain at most, and the output is less and even have to be pasted upside down.

At the same time, the county also added other taxes, such as poll tax, cattle and horse tax, logging tax, game tax, etc., some of which were previously available, and some of which were unheard of.

These taxes can be offset by grain or silver, but according to the calculations of the Tiejiabao people, these additional taxes add up to not enough to sell grain twice...

The people of Tiejiabao were in an uproar.
