Chapter 929: All-Out War (9)
Gandhi rode his horse on the widest street in Kuncheng, and ten zhang in front of him was the imperial palace of Kunguo. From afar, you can see the palace guards hanging their heads, as if they haven't eaten for a few days. In fact, it's likely that they just haven't had enough to eat.
There are very few pedestrians on the streets, much less than the people in the finch capital of the Great Black Bird Country.
Such a scenario made Gandhi feel that the situation in this country was even worse than that of the Great Crowbird. Then he thought about it carefully, and thought that in the past, the national strength of this Kun country was not as good as that of the Great Black Bird Country, and if the annual supply was equal to the Great Black Bird Country, the burden on the Kun Kingdom would be much greater than that of the Great Black Bird Country.
Having figured this out, Gandhi felt that the country was already in his hands, and that the king would certainly agree to their proposal of union.
So what to do? Do you find the person sent by the Hua Han Dynasty first, or go directly to the palace to meet the king? In the end, he decided to find the person sent by the Hua Han Dynasty first, and ask him about the situation first. But where to find that person?
After thinking about it, Gandhi felt that it was better to try his luck at the inn, he remembered the name of this person, and it should not be difficult to find. Since he is looking for an inn, he must find the biggest inn, he thought, this person will definitely stay in the best inn. It's not that this person likes to enjoy, but because he wants to show his identity, especially if he is a rich man. In that case, he will be a plane tree full of golden beans, which will inevitably attract phoenixes.
Thinking of this, he searched for the largest inn. It was the main street, and since it was the biggest street, he thought, it must be on this street.
Sure enough, he found it, an inn with three floors. The name is Longmen Inn. What a resounding name.
dismounted, and there was no servant to serve, so he could only tie the horse himself and then walk into the inn. Found the guy on the main desk. The man looked listless, but when he saw Gandhi dressed in brocade, his eyes lit up.
"The guest officer is staying in the hotel?" The guy asked, with some excitement.
Gan nodded and said, "The store is for living, but I have to inquire about someone first." ”
"Guest officer, please speak." The man said, smiling as he heard that Gandhi was going to stay at the hotel.
Gandhi said, "His name is Charvin. ”
When the guy heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. said: "The person the guest officer said happens to live in my shop. ”
Gandhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "What are you?" ”
The guy said, "I'm the boss here!" ”
After hearing this, Gandhi couldn't help but look up and down at the self-proclaimed boss, but nothing else looked like it except for the right age. For he was dressed in coarse cloth, and he looked like a fellow.
The boss seemed to see the confusion in Gandhi's eyes, so he smiled and said, "Doesn't the guest officer look like it?" ”
Gan nodded.
The boss nodded helplessly, sighed and said, "Hey! It's all thanks to the Tatars! ”
Gandhi understood at once, no need to ask, it must be because of the payment of the New Year's offering, thinking that such a large inn must be an important object of looting.
I heard the boss cry and say, "This Tatar is not a human being! ”
Speaking of Tatar, the boss gritted his teeth.
"In order to make up for their New Year's offerings, we actually let us, the people of Li, pay as much money as we want, and my inn was ransacked. The pockets of the ordinary people of Kunguo have also been emptied. The guest officer went to the street to see, where else is there anyone doing business? Even if it's a business, no one buys it! for the common people have no money left in their pockets. I can't buy it if I want to! ”
Speaking of this, the boss sighed again, and then said: "No one comes to do business, and no one lives in my inn, so I will dismiss all my men and work on my own." I don't have much to do. Don't hide it from the guest officer. Counting you, there are only four people living in my largest inn in Kuncheng. How do you think I'm going to live? You know, the taxes in this country still have to be paid as usual. You say, "What do I give, what do I give?" If I can't do it, I'll die at the gate of the palace. ”
The more the boss spoke, the more angry he became, and slapped the table.
Gandhi sighed, feeling sympathetic to the other party.
"Boss, is the guy I'm talking about not here now?" Gandhi asked.
"No, he's out." The boss said.
Gan nodded and said, "Oh, then please give me a room first!" ”
The boss nodded, still looking decrepit, looking like he had no strength to live and no courage to die. The boss said, "Okay, come with me, give you a room next to the person you're looking for!" ”
Gandhi said, "Then thank you boss." ”
The boss said, "Thank you for what?" As long as you come to stay, any room will do. ”
Gandhi thought to himself, isn't it, this huge inn, at least dozens of rooms, now only four people live, isn't it just a random room? It's ridiculous and sad to think about!
Just as he was leaving, a bearded man came in at the door. The boss saw it and immediately said, "Guest officer, the person you were looking for has returned." ”
Gandhi looked like a person, and it was Xia Wen. Don't look at this person's name, but his appearance is rough, he looks like Zhong Kui, and he is bluffing at first glance. But Gandhi knew that the man was a good man, and the three of them traveled together until the end, fearing to attract the attention of outsiders.
Nashavin recognized Gandhi and hugged Gandhi without saying a word, and Gandhi hugged him. The two put their hands on each other's shoulders and said a few pleasant pleasantries, and then went upstairs.
The boss pointed out the room to Gandhi, and Gandhi also paid a tael of silver and stayed first. When the boss saw the silver tael, it was like seeing a tael of gold, and his eyes were as bright as a wolf.
Gandhi pulled Xia Wen into his room, and when he didn't wait, he quickly asked about the situation in the country.
Xia Wen sighed and said, "I think you have seen the situation in this country!" It's over, it's going to be over. The state has no money, and the people have no money. The whole country has been hollowed out by the Tatars, but the Tatars still have to prepare this year's annual offerings now! ”
Gandhi sighed and said, "It's about the same as in my country!" ”
Xia Wen asked: "By the way, you are not good to stay in your country, why did you come to our country?" ”
Gandhi said, "I came to look for you." ”
"Looking for me?" Xia Wen asked, a little surprised.
Gan nodded and said, "My mission in our country has been completed. How are you? Are you done? ”
Xia Wen said: "Do you still need to finish this?" At a glance, you can see that the people of the whole country hate the Tatars to death. "The return of the financial empire
