() After the death of the Emperor of Jiuzhou, his sons began to compete for the throne and fought a war.

In the end, the 5th son of the pure-blooded human won the victory, and since then, the Great World of Kyushu has completely entered the domination of humans.

The fifth son of the land of Kyushu is endless, and the first human dynasty, the Dachang Dynasty, was established.

Since then, mankind has entered the era of imperial power.

Zhang Cheng: "It's the Spring and Autumn period again, and the process of fighting for the throne has been brought over with one stroke." ”

Xunmu: "There should have been a bloody battle for power. The other heirs of the Emperor of Jiuzhou are probably gone. ”

Zhang Cheng: "This wind is really ruthless, and the brothers and sisters estimate that he has killed a lot." ”

Xunmu: "Not ruthless enough, he can't establish this Dachang Dynasty." There have been too many such things in human history. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Also, in human history, in order to compete for the throne, brothers can kill each other, not to mention a group of brothers with the blood of other races. ”

Xunmu: "Lord, continue to look down." ”

5,000 years ago, the imperial family was particularly weak, and the government was corrupt and corrupt.

Coupled with the reappearance of the demon clan, the Dachang Dynasty fought a decisive battle with the demon clan in Xizhou, suffered heavy losses, and could no longer threaten Jiuzhou.

Among the nine continents, the eight continents rebelled, and the Dachang Dynasty was destroyed by Xuanzhou.

Later, Cangzhou seized the world of Jiuzhou and established the Black Fire Empire.

Zhang Cheng: "The dynasty has changed, and there is a demon clan in the middle." It's pretty much the same as the current environment. ”

Xunmu: "Lord, the precursor to the collapse of the prosperous world." ”

Zhang Cheng continued to look.

1500 years ago, the Black Fire Empire was rotten internally, with serious corruption, the emperor was corrupt, and the officials were incompetent.

The people could not survive, so the opposite was true.

The first emperor of our dynasty, came out of the troubled times, pacified the world, established the dynasty with martial arts, and established the Shengwu Dynasty. Regain control of the Nine Continents.

Zhang Cheng: "The history books of the Great World of Jiuzhou are almost the same, but there are many things hidden. ”

Xunmu: "In this world, it takes thousands of years for a change of dynasty to occur. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Ordinary people can't complete the change of dynasty, and they need to have enough strength to be born." Otherwise, no matter how weak the imperial court is, it will not be destroyed so easily. ”

Next, Zhang Cheng read some books about the customs and customs of the Great World of Jiuzhou.

While Zhang Cheng was reading the book, several officials walked into the bookstore.

The official walked up to the bookstore owner: "Boss, pay the tax." ”

The bookstore owner looked dazed: "Pay taxes? It's not yet the end of the year, what kind of tax do you pay? ”

Official: "Today, in order to provide disaster relief and relief to the victims, a special disaster relief tax has been set up, and all the people who have not been affected by the disaster must pay the tax. ”

Bookstore owner: "There's a new tax this year?" ”

Official: "Don't talk nonsense, pay taxes." ”

Bookstore owner: "How much?" ”

Official: "2 pieces of silver." ”

Bookstore owner: "So much? ”

Official: "Don't talk nonsense, pay taxes, or I'll take you." ”

The owner of the bookstore: "Two officials, can you delay for two days, I just bought a batch of books, and now I don't have so much money in hand." ”

Official: "Not so much money!" It looks like you're going to spend the New Year in prison this year. ”

The owner of the bookstore: "Official, I really can't come up with that much money, let me delay it for two days." ”

Official: "Delay for two days, how can it be so easy." If you don't pay the money, I'll take you right away. ”

The official drew the knife from his body.

The owner of the bookstore had no choice but to take out the last bit of money on his body: "Official, this is my family's living expenses this month." ”

The official snatched it up: "If you want to pay the money, you will pay the money, and it will cost so many words." Come, draw here. ”

The official took out a notebook and asked the bookstore owner to sign it.

The bookstore owner found his name and put a handprint on it.

The official left, and the bookstore owner: "Alas, how are you going to live this month?" ”

Zhang Cheng walked out: "Boss, why haven't I heard of this disaster relief tax." ”

The owner of the bookstore: "I haven't heard of it, but today there is suddenly such a disaster relief tax, and it costs 2 yuan of silver, alas, so many taxes, I can't survive." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Are there a lot of taxes?" ”

Bookstore owner: "Dao Chief, you don't know. During the reign of the first emperor, there were only two kinds of taxes, one called the local tax, which was used to give to the local county. There is also an annual customs duty to be handed over to the imperial court. Add it up, it's only 3 yuan of silver, 3 yuan of silver a year, which is not much. But, alas. ”

Zhang Cheng: "But, what's wrong?" ”

The bookstore owner whispered: "The current emperor has been in power for three years, and there are three more taxes. One is called military tax, the other is called land tax, and today there is another disaster relief tax. Together, these three taxes cost 7 pieces of silver. ”

Zhang Cheng: "So, you have to pay a tax of 1 tael of silver a year?" ”

The owner of the bookstore: "Yes, ordinary people, the annual income is only 1,2 taels of silver." You have to pay more than half of your income in taxes, and if you continue to do it in the long run, how can you live? ”

In this era, 1 penny can buy two steamed buns.

100 wen is equal to 1 penny of silver, and 1000 wen is equal to one tael of silver.

For three years, every year there was a new tax, and the people were afraid that there would be other taxes next year.

Zhang Cheng: "In this way, the current emperor has been collecting money. ”

Bookstore owner: "Yes, it's just a pain for us little people." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Boss, how much do these books cost?" ”

The owner of the bookstore looked at the 4 books that he had bought: "180 texts." ”

Zhang Cheng gave the bookstore owner a tael of silver: "Boss, don't look for it." ”

Bookstore owner: "Dao Chief, this is too much. ”

Zhang Cheng: "It's okay, just think of it as the cost for you to tell me so much news." ”

Zhang Cheng left the store with 4 books.

On the way, Xun Mu: "No wonder this seemingly prosperous dynasty is about to collapse." This emperor is so wealthy, it is strange if he does not collapse. ”

Zhang Cheng: "I thought that this dynasty was destroyed because of external invasion, but I didn't expect that my roots were rotten." ”

Xunmu: "Lord, this scene reminds me of the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhang Cheng: "During the Tianbao period, it looked prosperous and prosperous, but in fact, it fell down when it was touched, and it looked like who was the An Lushan." ”

Zhang Cheng returned to Wendaoju, and it didn't take long for someone to knock on the door.

Zhang Cheng opened the door, and it was the two officials.

Official: "Are you living here now?" Taoist? ”

Zhang Cheng: "It is the poor road that lives. ”

Official: "It stands to reason that Taoist priests don't have to pay taxes, show us your ferry." ”

Zhang Cheng, as an outsider, where did he come from to the crossdish of this world. There are ferries on the earth, but these people won't recognize them.

Zhang Cheng: "Two, Poor Dao has not officially become a monk yet, but is just preparing to become a monk, so he has not crossed the dish yet." ”

Official errand: "If you don't have a crossing, you're still an ordinary person, pay taxes." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Dare to ask what kind of tax it is?" ”

Official: "Disaster relief tax, a tax newly notified by His Majesty." 2 money and silver, pay the money. ”

Zhang Cheng didn't have 2 coins of silver, so he took out one or two: "Two, I don't have 2 coins of silver, this is the tax I paid." ”

The official took the money and found 5 yuan: "For the rest, even if you invite our brothers to drink, you live here, and our brothers will take care of you in the future." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Two, this is not good. ”

Official: "If there's anything bad, I'll say it's good." ”

The official took the silver: "Come, write your name here, and then press a handprint." ”

Zhang took the notebook, wrote his name, and then pressed a handprint.

The official took the notebook and left.

Zhang Cheng: "These officials no longer have the appearance of official differences. ”

Xunmu: "The prosperity under the prosperous world, who knows when it will fall." ”

Zhang Cheng didn't care about these either, and quickly replied to Daoju.

The next day, I asked Juwai and a man came.

Someone knocked on the door: "Is Zhang Chengdao here?" ”

Zhang Cheng opened the door.

The person who came said: "Zhang Chengdao, the king of the county is invited." ”

Zhang Cheng: "The king of Nanzhou is looking for me, what is the matter?" ”

Visitor: "The Taoist chief will come with me, and you will know when you see the king of the county." ”

Zhang Cheng felt that he had nothing to do now, so he simply came to see the king of Nanzhou County together.

It was still that courtyard, and the king of Nanzhou County was still sitting at the stone table, drinking tea quietly.

Zhang Cheng walked in.

King of Nanzhou County: "Dao Chief, here." ”

Zhang Cheng: "The king of the county, I don't know what to do with finding a poor road?" ”

Jun Wang: "Can't you talk to the Taoist if you're fine?" Dao Chief, let me introduce you, this is my staff, Gu Yanzhi, Mr. Gu. ”

The king of Nanzhou introduced Zhang Cheng to a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s.

Gu Yanzhi: "Hello Dao Chief, contemptible Gu Yanzhi." Long Yangdao grew up famous. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Look up for a long time." ”

Xunmu secretly complained: "It's obviously the first time we met, and I've been looking up for a long time." Hypocrisy. ”

Zhang Cheng: "I don't know what Mr. Gu has to say?" ”

Gu Yanzhi: "Dao Chief, please take a seat." ”

Zhang Cheng sat down.

Gu Yanzhi: "Dao Chief, can you play chess?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "A little, not proficient." ”

Gu Yanzhi: "Dao Chief, how about a game?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Since Mr. Gu has this Yaxing, there is nothing wrong with the game." ”

Gu Yanzhi: "Come on, play chess, serve tea." ”

King of Nanzhou County: "This king hasn't seen Mr. Gu play chess with someone for a long time, this game must be very exciting." ”

Gu Yanzhi: "Dao Chief, the person who comes is a guest, you invite first." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Since that's the case, then I'll go first." ”

Zhang Cheng picked up the chess piece and dropped it gently.

Gu Yanzhi also fell lightly: "I heard that the chief said, with just a few hollow dart cars, you can see through my plan?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "I'm a person, sometimes, I just think a lot. I just thought of such a possibility. ”

Gu Yanzhi: "The Tao is talented, and it is still a point that cannot be finished." ”

Zhang Cheng: "It's just an accident. ”

Gu Yanzhi: "I don't see this accident." Ordinary people, I can't think of so much, the Taoist is not an ordinary person. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Thank you Mr. Gu for your compliment, Poor Dao is just an ordinary person." ”

Gu Yanzhi: "Ordinary people, it's a good point. Living in such an era, it's good to be an ordinary person. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Does Mr. Gu think that ordinary people living in this era are really good? ”

Gu Yanzhi: "The Taoist has other meanings, but how about the Taoist chief?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Blooming flowers are not far from withering." ”

Gu Yanzhi: "The Taoist can actually think of the withering from the blooming of the flowers to the withering in the near future. Don't be blinded by the beauty in front of you, the Taoist can really look high. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Didn't Mr. Gu see the same?" ”
