The surface of Chaohu Lake rippled round after circle, and Jia Nian, Guo Dapang, Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing rushed on the shore.

A huge water village appeared in front of it, and rows of arrow towers appeared in front of you.

"Stop, who's coming?" A water thief with a sword, revealing his face full of meat, asked Jia Nian and the four of them loudly.

Several gun-wielding water thieves standing behind the water thieves looked over at the same time, and the aura of slaughter instantly spread to every corner.

Name: Baifan Water Village

Level:???

Troops:???

Building:???

Looking at the series of question marks, Jia Nian and Guo Dapang gasped, revealing vigilant eyes.

"We are from Changhe Village, and we have come to pay taxes," Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing hurriedly shouted to those water thieves.

Hearing the word tax, the hostility of the water thieves quickly dissipated. The saber water thief's face also softened, and he said to Tang Yanqing and Tang Gaoming: "What evidence is there to prove that you are from Changhe Village?"

"Is the identity token okay" Jia Nian walked in front of the saber water thief, untied the token from his waist and handed it to him.

The saber water thief looked at the token handed over, looked up and down, and handed it to Jia Nian again: "I didn't expect it to be the village chief of Changhe Village who came in person."

"Wait a minute, I'll go find Zhao Ergou to come and collect taxes" The saber water thief said politely to Jia Nian, for this kind of village chief who keeps to himself, they have no reason not to like it.

Stretched out his hand to return the token to Jia Nian, turned around and ran quickly towards the water village.

Looking at the water thief who was running quickly inside, Jia Nian couldn't help but be stunned. I came all the way to pay the money, shouldn't I take myself in to rest? But when he saw the row of arrow towers, he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

Obviously, the white sail water thieves don't seem to be very welcoming to outsiders.

A fleshy figure walked out, followed by the saber water thief: "I didn't expect Village Chief Jia to be so well-behaved, good, very good"

"I received a reminder from Guizhai yesterday, and I hurriedly came to pay the money today, hoping that there was no delay in the matter of Guizhai," Jia Nian said politely to the meaty person.

The man almost laughed like a flower when he heard this: "No delay, no delay"

"Village Chief Jia, you can just call me Zhao Er," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian with a face full of philistine, and as for the dog word, it was naturally hidden.

Immediately after that, without waiting for Jia Nian and the others to reply, he took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and slowly opened it in front of them: "Changhe Village, with a population of ten people, needs to pay one gold every year."

"I wonder if Village Chief Jia can bring it?" Zhao Ergou asked with a smile at Jia Nian.

Jia Nian replied to Zhao Ergou: "Brought"

After speaking, he took out two gold from his sleeve, and then handed one of the gold to Zhao Ergou.

"Atmosphere" Zhao Ergou saw the two huge sums of gold in Jia Nian's hand, and subconsciously sighed. I can't imagine that a village with a population of only ten people can be so rich.

Just when Zhao Ergou took the gold, an unexpected message appeared in front of Jia Nian's eyes.

"You paid the protection fee for the water thief and lost a gold"

Zhao Ergou weighed the gold and nodded with satisfaction: "Village Chief Jia can be so arrogant, I won't say anything more."

"This is the proof of payment, you take it," Zhao Ergou took out a token from his sleeve.

Jia Nian took the token, revealing a puzzled gaze, looking up and down.

"You have obtained the Certificate of Good Citizenship of the White Sail Water Thieves (put this certificate in the village chief's house, and you can enjoy the treatment of the White Sail Water Thieves for one year, and be protected from the sporadic water thieves)"

Seeing the above introduction, Jia Nian hurriedly put away the certificate and kept it carefully.

"Farewell" After collecting the certificate of good citizenship, Jia Nian said respectfully to Zhao Ergou. He also wanted to find time to brush up on the sporadic lone thieves, so he turned around and was about to leave.

Looking at Jia Nian, who wanted to leave, Zhao Ergou thought of the other gold on his body, and immediately shouted: "Wait"

"What else do you have?" Jia Nian said to Zhao Ergou.

Guo Dapang, Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing also looked at Zhao Ergou at the same time, revealing puzzled eyes.

Looking at the eyes of the four people, Zhao Ergou suddenly smiled: "I don't know if Village Chief Jia is interested in developing and expanding Changhe Village?" ”

"Develop and expand Changhe Village?" Jia Nian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, vaguely as if he had guessed something, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing also looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing why the water thief would say this.

On the contrary, Guo Dapang's heart is hot, and it seems that showing off his wealth really has a miraculous effect. Thanks to the almighty Raiders, thanks to the almighty keyboard warriors and theorists.

Zhao Ergou looked at Jia Nian who was in a state of surprise, and felt a little proud in his heart: "If a village wants to develop and grow, the most important thing is the population, I don't know if Village Chief Jia thinks what I said is right"

"Not bad," Jia Nian replied to Zhao Ergou without thinking.

The corners of Zhao Ergou's mouth turned up slightly, as if he had seen the gold in Jia Nian's sleeve, and was beckoning to himself: "The big boss is merciful and has taken in many refugees who have fled from the north."

"If Village Chief Jia wants the population, I, Baifan Water Village, am willing to provide some," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian and Guo Dapang glanced at each other, and they both saw the same answer in each other's eyes: "Human trafficking? ”

"How can it be said to be human trafficking? This is the kindness of the big boss and the refugees who took in," Zhao Ergou said seriously.

After a slight pause, the conversation changed: "But these people also need money for food and clothing, so if Village Chief Jia wants to take them in, he just needs to make up for their money in the water village."

"Understand, understand, this is all the kindness of the big boss" Jia Nian reacted immediately, and it was not human trafficking. It's just that I can't imagine that the white sail water thief still cares about such a reputation.

A smile bloomed on Zhao Ergou's face again: "The land around Chaohu Lake is fertile, as long as it is reclaimed, Village Chief Jia will make a steady profit."

"So I suggest that Village Chief Jia can take in more, and the village will naturally prosper quickly," Zhao Ergou sold to Jia Nian.

Guo Dapang interjected and asked, "I don't know what the price is?" ”

"What price? That's how much they spent in the water village," Zhao Ergou sank his face and said to Guo Dapang.

Guo Dapang nodded his head quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, use the fee"

"A family of three with two elderly people needs a total of 1,500 money," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian, but his eyes looked straight at his sleeves.

Jia Nian lowered the price to Zhao Ergou and asked tentatively: "Can it be cheaper?" ”

"No, this is the price set by the big boss himself" Zhao Ergou said in a firm tone, as an exclusive operator, they have a monopoly position, so they speak very hard.
