Chapter 22: I Have Something to Say
Bursts of weeping suddenly sounded in the quiet council room, and several others followed suit, wailing:
"O village master! Last year, our village was greatly injured after handing over 100 gold, and it has not recovered until now, so it is really impossible to hand over 100 gold! ”
"Our village is already so poor that we can't open the pot!"
……
The crying and shouting in the hall was loud, as if he was comparing misery, the owner of the village was angry when he heard it, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to a little old man who cried the hardest, "Old man Li, what are you pretending to be with me, who doesn't know that there are many potters in your Lijia Town, and I don't know how much money flows into Lijia Town every day!" ”
Then he pointed to a dark-skinned old man beside Old Man Li, "And you, your Shahe Village has an orchard covering an area of 100 acres, and you told me that you have no money?" ”
"You are no exception, your Kaiyue Town is a famous breeding town, there are many livestock running everywhere, and you are still crying here to be poor?"
"And you......"
The owner of the village told the situation of the five people one by one, and at first glance he had done an in-depth investigation, but Wang Shuo found that he didn't know this person at all, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Wang Shuo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "If you go back to the village master, look at the village head of Liucun Village, Wang Shuo." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I don't care what you're doing inside and out, is your territory near the creek?"
"Exactly."
"That's great, don't say I didn't give you a chance, as long as you send someone to send 100 gold, I'll let you go immediately."
The owner of the village is very happy, Wang Shuo's appearance marks a stable income of 100 gold every year in the cottage, but Wang Shuo is secretly complaining, Wangliu Village is not as good as the previous old villages and towns, they are all time-honored brands, and those two towns even have their own characteristic brands, which are not comparable to the fledgling young man in Wangliu Village.
Although Wangliu Village is a high-level village, but the development is too fast, the rapid development makes the village's resources consume too fast, if it weren't for the fact that a few days ago from Jinghai Town got some resources, Wangliu Village must be a shortage of resources now, not to mention 100 gold, even 50 gold Wang Shuo can't take it out.
Without waiting for Wang Shuo to speak, the five people kneeling in front of him spoke again,
"The owner of the village, it's not that we don't give money, it's really because of poverty, now that the war is raging outside, the business has taken a sharp turn, and no one buys pottery at all!"
"Yes, the owner of the village, and my orchard, there are often homeless people, as long as the townspeople don't pay attention, these homeless people will get into the orchard, and they can't drive away, and the orchard is a mess."
"Please also ask the owner of the village to leave us a way to live!"
……
The miserable contest started again, in short, each with its own misery, each with its own misfortune, and his face was full of pleading and helplessness.
The owner of the village was upset when he heard this, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he suddenly overturned the table in front of him, and the hall was suddenly silent, and roared angrily: "I said very clearly when I set up Langyatai last year, the five of you each pay 100 gold every year, and I will protect your villages and towns from being harassed by bandits. Do you know how much blood my Langya Village left for you? Yes?
You want to live, but who gives me a living road in Langya Village, my Langya Village No. 653 people are waiting for dinner with their mouths open, I will give you three days in the end, if you don't pay again, then I can only let the brothers of Langya Village go to your villages and towns to visit, don't blame me for doing too hard when the time comes! ”
The owner of the village said a long sentence, and Wang Shuo keenly obtained a few pieces of information from it,
One of them: The reason why Wangliu Village has never been attacked by thieves is that there is a group of thieves about twenty miles west of Wangliu Village, as long as you are careful, it should not be difficult to find the existence of Wangliu Village, but you have never had the idea of Wangliu Village, and I think all this should be because of the relationship between Langya Village.
Second: Langya Village has also died in order to protect these villages and towns, and there are many of them, but they have made a name.
Third: Langya Village is an emerging force that only emerged last year, and it is likely to come from other counties or even other states and counties.
Fourth: Langya Village does not want to loot the village, unless it is absolutely necessary, they can only do so.
Especially the fourth one, Wang Shuo had already thought of the words as soon as he thought about it.
"Anyway, my words are put here, you either take the money, or just wait to bear the anger of my Langya Village, Xin Luo, take them down first!"
Bursts of pleading voices immediately sounded in the hall, and then Wang Shuo shouted loudly: "Slow down, I have something to say!" ”
Xin Yu stopped, turned to look at the owner of the village behind him, and the owner of the village said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly." ”
Due to the injuries on his body, it was not easy for Wang Shuo to even stand up, so he had to sit on the chair and said: "Please forgive the owner of the village, there is an injury on the lower body, so I can only sit on the chair and talk to the owner of the village." ”
"It's okay, as long as you can come up with 100 gold, even if it's lying down."
"Dare to ask if the main money of the village is for the purpose of feeding the brothers in the cottage?"
Speaking step by step, Wang Shuo said a word of nonsense, but nonsense also has a use for nonsense.
The owner of the village nodded with annoyance, "Not only that, but the armor, weapons, clothing, tools, etc. in the village all need funds. ”
"So, maybe 100 gold per person isn't enough?"
As soon as the words came out, the five people kneeling in front of them immediately turned their heads and thought: Which end is this?
"It may not be enough, but with you, 600 gold should be enough."
Wang Shuo didn't care about the ridiculous words of the village owner, and said again: "If the world is peaceful, let alone 100 gold, even if it is 200 gold, just like Lijiazhen, the pottery crown of the whole county, even if it is 300 gold, it can be easily taken out." ”
Old man Li almost fell directly to the ground, seeing the owner of the village looking at him, he smiled slightly embarrassed, and scolded Wang Shuo's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, but fortunately, Wang Shuo's next words were quite good, so he didn't continue to curse.
I only heard Wang Shuo say: "It's a pity that not long ago, Zhang Jiao, a giant deer man, claimed to be a great sage and good teacher, a general of Tiangong, and led millions of believers to sweep the territory of the Han Dynasty. Or take Lijiazhen as an example, pottery is just a kind of daily necessities, decorations, not necessities, just ask the people can't even fill their stomachs, who has the money to buy pottery? ”
These words directly reached the heart of Old Man Li, and he sighed: "The pottery in the town has long been piled up, and the potters are all clamoring for me to find a way as soon as possible, and I am worried to death during this time." ”
The face of the owner of the village immediately became gloomy, "After all this nonsense, you still want to express that you can't come up with the money?" ”
