Still pushing the cart back with a bang, this time, Yuan Xi and his entourage also "kidnapped" twelve blacksmiths. Most of these blacksmiths still dragged their families with them, so Yuan Xi also specially found someone to buy a carriage, and the cost was naturally from the Taishou Mansion. Looking at a pair of molded farm tools and some improved tools that did not appear until the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Xi's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. Although we were unable to build an airplane cannon, we were able to stay ahead of our time.

But the beautiful poet who hung her head and didn't speak on the side made him feel a little uncomfortable. This singer, whom Yuan Shang bought with a lot of money, found him the night before he left, and bravely offered to follow Yuan Xi under Lou Jingshu's almost murderous eyes.

"Second son, please save me, if you don't take me away, I'm going to die here......"

"What's going on?"

"It's Taishou-sama...... He wasn't human, so he liked to use a whip and a candle...... You see my legs, and on my chest, there are scars, and they are still bruised, so I'll undo my clothes and show you......"

"This ...... It's not too convenient......"

"It's okay, this matter is about the life of the little girl, and the second son will understand at a glance that I am not lying."

"That's not what I meant...... Hey, Lou Guard, don't get excited—"

In the end, Yuan Xi still opened his mouth to get off this singer, but his faggot brother still obstructed it in every possible way, and he was reluctant to give up, and finally reluctantly cut his love. Although Yuan Xi didn't believe in the whip candle set of rhetoric, he still subconsciously stayed away from Yuan Shang, and when the matter was done, he set off early in the morning and left Nanpi. When he stepped out of the Nanpi City Gate, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Xi looked at the delicate woman beside him, and looked from above her neckline, only to see the ups and downs on her chest, which was very spectacular, and her delicate skin was smooth and crystalline, revealing a healthy pink. It's a shame that she shouldn't have been stopped from undressing at the time.

Shi'er seemed to sense his gaze, raised her head, and said with a toothy smile: "The little woman has not thanked the second son for his great kindness, as long as it is something I can do, although the second son commands, even if it is a warm pillow and sweeping the couch, the little woman will ......" said and lowered her head to deliberately avoid his burning gaze.

This foxy woman not only has a delicate and tactful voice, but also her body movements always reveal a hint: "Come and eat me." "It's a good way to hit a man's soft underbelly. What's more, Yuan Xi's body at this time was in his twenties, just when he was in his youth. If it weren't for the fact that there was a third person by his side, Yuan Xi would really be a little unable to resist the temptation.

"Ahem......"

There was a rough and deep voice next to him, and Yuan Xi hurriedly withdrew his gaze and glanced at Lou Jingshu. The dark-skinned savage woman looked at Shi'er with a hostile gaze, not relaxing for a moment.

Now the hair on Lou Jingshu's head has grown a lot, densely furry to the touch, and it feels very good, Yuan Xi often touches her head when she is not paying attention, and is often glared back by her viciously. Her pigtails are also very bright, and she often ties knots of various styles, swaying in the wind. If Yuan Xi had grown up in the Wuhuan tribe since he was a child, maybe he would appreciate one or two.

Yuan Xi jumped out of the carriage and said to Lou Jingshu: "Let's go to Tian Chou to discuss things......

Tian Chou gathered his scattered beards together at this time, his face was also washed, and he looked very energetic. Yuan Xi sniffed it when he got closer, and felt that the magical smell had disappeared.

Tian Chou walked with a cane, looking at him blocking in front of him, a little displeased: "What are you sniffing?" ”

Yuan Xi walked side by side with him and said, "After I go back, I have to study this year's taxes." I have promised Cui Zhang, Xu Fan and a few others that this year's tax revenue will be used to repay last year's debts. ”

In Tian Chou's view, it is completely unreasonable to use tomorrow's money to repay today's debts, and it is just a matter of demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall.

"Youzhou has a thin foundation and few taxes, if Gongsun Chan hadn't relied on his brother Lehe to accumulate people's wealth, he would have been unable to survive a long time ago. Last year's harvest was not good, and I don't know how to do it this year, and I still have to pay off my debts, and I don't know how to die. ”

Yuan Xi said: "So we have to study a way to let those rich people pay a little more." I've already researched that about three years ago, people began to annex land, and every year people became tenants, and these forcibly occupied lands should be taxed, but because the big dog households signed a yin-yang contract with them, they were not registered with the government. In recent years, there have been many displaced people, and everyone has long been unaware of the ownership of the land, resulting in the fact that these lands cannot be taxed, but in fact there is a harvest. ”

"Yin-Yang contract? Hehe, that's a new statement, but it's also very apt. You want to find those big dealers to collect extra money, I advise you to die of that heart. You are a native of Jizhou, and you came to Youzhou as a assassin, but you are just a guest. Youzhou people have a characteristic, that is, the local people are very united, if you bully them, all these tyrants will unite against you, and then you will suffer. Not to mention that their in-laws relationship with each other is complicated, even with your Yuan family in Jizhou, they are inextricably linked. Take the Zhen family of Zhongshan as an example......"

Yuan Xi had a headache and said, "You don't need to say it, I already know." The Zhen family is my father-in-law's family, my brother-in-law married the mother-in-law of the Qinghe Cui family, and the eldest son of the Qinghe Cui family married the daughter of the Lu family in Guangyang County, Youzhou, and the Lu family is in-law with the He family in Beiping County. ”

Tian Chou arched his hand: "That's right, congratulations to the second son." It's because of this relationship that your position as a stabbing is so firm. Your Yuan family is the first family in Hebei. ”

"Awards, awards."

During the Han Dynasty, the relationship between the families was very close, who did not have hundreds of family members, and the large families had nearly a thousand servants with servants, and they could form an armed force. And the game between families and families has produced political figures at the top. Undoubtedly, Yuan Xi is a beneficiary of this system.

"But there is no way, in order to survive, I can only do it to my relatives. Let me think about it, persimmons have to be pinched softly, and if it has anything to do with it, you can kill the chickens and monkeys first. ”

When Tian Chou heard him say this, his expression became grim, and he said: "Second son, you have to think clearly, the window paper is not punctured, everyone can still be harmonious on the surface, if it is torn, then there is no room for relaxation." I advise you to think twice. After all, now in Youzhou, there is nothing wrong with your thorn history. If you have to toss something, you will shake the foundation when the time comes. First of all, your father who is far away in Yecheng will not allow you to mess around. ”

Yuan Xi thought to himself: If the battle of Guandu is lost, or after Guandu, he lets the two brothers be destroyed, then no matter how much he survives, there is no point. Everyone thought that this troubled era was about to end with Yuan Shao's unification of Hebei, but they never thought that the more magnificent and undulating era, the Three Kingdoms, had not really come. If you want to survive in this chaotic world that breaks everything, you must first break the rules.

"In short, first pick a breakthrough and choose a big dog to extinguish his prestige."

"Which one?"

"The Wen family in Ji County."
