Recruiting extras? What kind of play is this singing? Yi Yun Khan, he glanced at Qi Xing, who hurriedly walked over and said to the officials who were beating the gong: "A few officials and masters, may I ask what you are recruiting this extra to play? The villain is a little interested. ”

The official tilted his head and looked at Qi Xing twice, and said with a smile: "You are a good man, but you are a good material to be an extra." We are recruiting soldiers to play, in a few days there is a big man who wants to come to our Jiashan Oasis to live for a while, and we need to recruit sixty or seventy people to play the soldiers of the hundred households, I see you like this, but there is a bit of a soldier ruffian, why do you want to? Do you want to come and earn some copper money? Thirty copper plates a day, you can eat and drink twice, and you can sleep in the barracks at night. ”

Qi Xing pretended to be very interested and said, "The villain is very interested, how do you sign up for this?"

The official said with a smile: "Before sunset tonight, you go to the yamen to sign up, someone will receive you, and then arrange for you to live in the barracks." ”

"Xie Guan sent the old man to mention something. Qi Xing hurriedly replied.

Yi Yun heard these words in his ears, and his lungs almost lost his breath, these bastards are too hateful, they actually use this method to deceive Uncle and me, and when I turn around, I won't clean up your scum.

He continued to walk towards the city in a huff, passing by a free market where a few sporadic vendors were hawking, seemingly selling some dried food. Yi Yun was attentive all of a sudden, he really wanted to run his fief well, so he had to understand the business situation of his fiefdom.

Walking into the market, there was an old man selling dried sweet potatoes next to him, Yi Yun sat in front of the old man, took out a piece of silver, bought all his dried sweet potatoes, and then said with a smile: "Old man, how long have you been selling here?"

"It's been a long time, fifty...... Sixty years......" The old man took the money, packed the dried sweet potatoes and handed them to Yi Yun, and said happily: "I used to sell dried yams, but then the Francophone brought sweet potatoes, and we planted some ourselves, and it felt good, so we sold dried sweet potatoes again." ”

Yi Yun thought to himself: It turns out that sweet potatoes, a high-yield crop, were brought by the Franco, oh, by the way, in my world, sweet potatoes seem to be the food that was only introduced to China during the Age of Discovery.

"Is it good to sell things here?" Yi Yun asked, "Are there many people buying things?"

The old man sighed: "Look around for yourself, there are no two people, how can there be any good business? ”

Market Depression...... I can see it too. Yi Yun looked left and right, depressed, after the buddy came here, it was not easy to make this oasis well. It's a rags to riches, and there's no foundation at all.

While he was talking, an official in the clothes of a servant suddenly jumped out of the gate of the market, and when he came to Yi Yun and the old man selling dried sweet potatoes, he said loudly: "Old man Li, I saw that you sold out of dried sweet potatoes just now, how much did you sell?

"Hmm, I have to pay taxes when I sell something?" Yi Yun felt a little strange in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, this is normal, won't there be a commercial tax in the future?

But soon he saw what was abnormal, and the old man sighed, took out half of the broken silver that Yi Yun had just given him, and handed it into the hands of the servant.

Yi Yun was shocked, 50 percent tax? What a bad tax rate this is, do you want people to live? He couldn't help jumping up and shouted, "To pay so many taxes?"

The official glanced at him and snorted, "It's okay if you don't know the rules, I'll tell you now, whoever sells in the market of this oasis must pay fifty percent of the tax as a commercial tax." ”...,

Evan: "......"

The official smiled and said, "I still haven't finished talking about it, anyone who buys something in the market of this oasis must hand over 20% of the goods in kind as consumption tax." You...... Give me 20% of the dried sweet potatoes you just bought. ”

Evan: "......"

Yi Yun really wanted to jump up, give this official a head-on kick, and then let Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing beat him into a pig's head and swollen face, but in this way, the visit of Weifu would be over. had to suppress his anger and asked Qi Xing to divide the dried sweet potatoes into two percent and give them to the officer.

It is no wonder that the business system of this oasis does not collapse, and the buddy must completely rebuild the business system in the future, what a hard thing it is! Seeing that the old man also followed out of the market, Yi Yun took the old man's hand, put a piece of silver into his hand, and said: "Old man, I will make up 50% of the tax you have been forcibly collected, and I will make it up to you, these guys are simply too unreasonable." ”

The old man was taken aback, and the corners of his eyes suddenly turned up with white tears, and he bowed to Yi Yun: "This little brother, you are a good person......"

Yi Yun sighed: "Old man, this oasis collects such a heavy tax, why don't you run away? ”

"Can't escape!" the old man cried sadly: "Our Jiashan Oasis implements a joint sitting system, every ten families are organized into a group, if one person escapes, the taxes he should pay will be borne by the other nine families. If five families fled, the taxes of those five families would be borne by the other five households, and if nine families fled, the entire tax would be borne by the last one...... So...... Either don't run, or you have to run with ten villagers, otherwise you will be tired of the villagers......"

When Yi Yun heard this, he immediately gasped!

This oasis ...... What kind of county order dares to formulate such a shameless policy?

The old man wiped a handful of tears: "The ten families who sat with me are all my old folks for decades, and none of us want to harm others, so we have to grit our teeth and work hard together, and once we couldn't hold on, fortunately, the Francois brought sweet potatoes, which are drought-resistant, cold-resistant, and high-yielding, and can be planted for several seasons a year, otherwise we would have all starved to death." ”

Yi Yun felt sad in his heart, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent.

The old man shook his head and said, "Little brother, you are a good person, I think you are here to investigate whether this oasis can do business, right?" I advise you, don't do business here, go to Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing...... Especially the Nanjing Oasis, where the prince of Jinling sits there, and if the poor people have nothing to eat, as long as they stay in front of the palace of the king of Jinling, they can get steamed buns to eat every day...... The government did not dare to oppress the poor under the nose of King Jinling...... Let's go!"

Yi Yun clenched his fists and whispered to the old man: "Understood, thank you old man for telling me this, I will repay you." ”

The old man sighed and walked away tremblingly.

Yi Yun's face turned pale, what kind of county order is this shit-like place, arrogant to such a point? I really think that the Tiangao Emperor is far from it!

Then Yi Yun walked around and inquired everywhere, this small oasis with a radius of several kilometers is still facing many problems, such as the problem of fertile land, this oasis is small, only a few miles of small farmland, but these farmlands only have a few corners of rotten fields in the hands of the people, for example, the old man who planted sweet potatoes only had a few steps of land, and he struggled to survive by planting a few sweet potatoes. The slightly more fertile fields were all forcibly seized by the prefectural magistrates.

In addition, because the government did not pay for the repair of the city wall, the wind and sand often plagued this small oasis, and sometimes the sand wind was so strong that even the roof had to be blown away. The combat effectiveness of the army is also low, not to mention the Japanese robbers, even the wild bandits can not deal with it, occasionally the wild robbers attack the city, the county commander colludes with the wild bandits, so that the soldiers deliberately do not resist, the wild bandits in the city after a burn and loot, deliberately let go of the county government and the military camp, only rob the people. ...,

It is said that the prefectural magistrate will also secretly collude with the Japanese pirates, and plan to use the same trick against the wild pirates when the Japanese invaders, so that the Japanese will only kill the people and not destroy the city...... to preserve his position.

After investigating these, it was getting late, Yi Yun indignantly ordered Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing: "Find an inn, stay here today, and let's go back tomorrow, Lao Tzu plans to transfer an army from Jiaxing Oasis to break this county order and the ** garrison here." ”

Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing saw that he was in a bad mood, and said with a smile: "What the prince said is that these bastards have gone too far, although our Sichuan army occasionally has to bully the good people, but they are not so excessive." ”

"In the future, you will stop bullying the good people, I will see and castrate you......" Yi Yun took out the promotion certificate used to transfer to the "eunuch" from his arms, and threatened: "I have everything ready." ”

Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing hurriedly expressed their loyalty, and they would never bully the good people again in the future.

A group of five people found a dilapidated inn in the center of the city, this inn does not seem to have many customers, it is dilapidated, this is also the business model of this place, how can there be a business traveler willing to come? The inn has a business to have a ghost! The shopkeeper not only uses this place as an inn to operate, but also sells some steamed buns, soy milk, tofu or something, so that he can barely maintain, if he only does the inn business, I am afraid that he will go bankrupt long ago.

As soon as Yi Yun and the others entered the inn, there was a hidden figure on the corner of the street slowly appeared, this figure was wearing a strange tight black clothes, his wrists and ankles were tightly tied, and he was wrapped in a turban on his head, with two small knives hanging from his waist, and an elbow in his arms.

The Fuso ninja took a closer look at the inn and confirmed that Yi Yun and the others would not come out for the time being, he sneered and said to himself: "These people are suspicious, and after they arrive in the city, they ask around, obviously to be unfavorable to the county order, hehehe...... Now that the local county magistrate has begun to cooperate with us, I will help him solve these unstable factors......

After finishing speaking, the Fuso ninja made a gesture in his hand and shouted softly: "Ninja, fog and fog!" His body disappeared from the air without a trace, turning into a faint cloud of smoke and drifting towards the inn......
