Han Dahu dragged Li Kui to a secluded place and began to complain: "For the sake of my brother's passing year, I should do this errand to fight tigers." Don't look at it as a brother, it's also a practicing family. ”

After speaking, he gestured twice, but under Li Kui's disdainful eyes, he retracted his thoughts of wanting to show off, and began to complain: "Can the tiger be easy to fight?" This beast is not only excited, but also fierce, and also holds grudges. There are more than 30 people under me, and this time the nearest ones are all pulled, only a dozen archers, and a dozen sword and axe men are ready to go into the mountains to fight tigers. Let me put it this way, everyone eats with someone, they are all the pillars of the family to support their families, and no one dares to make a mistake. ”

Li Kui was full of contempt in his heart, and he said it clearly when he was timid, and he used such an excuse to prevaricate.

However, it is really not easy for ordinary people to live in the Great Song Dynasty. As far as the poll tax is concerned, women do not have to pay taxes, and when a man becomes an adult, he has two hundred sons, and none of them can be missing. It's almost three pennies. On the surface, it doesn't seem like much, but an old man between the ages of sixteen and sixty can't hide it, which is a big burden for ordinary people.

There are also land endowments, various levies, and local apportionments. The field tax is fifteen and one, which is higher than that of other dynasties.

If the people of the Great Song Dynasty relied on farming alone, it would not be an exaggeration to describe that they lived in a very hot water.

As a result, more and more people gave up their land, were burdened with heavy debts, and began to earn a living in the cities. As a direct result, the cities of the Great Song Dynasty became larger and larger, but the rural population became smaller and smaller.

This is also an important reason why the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, but the national strength does not seem to have grown, but has fallen into a bottleneck.

The patrol is under the jurisdiction of the people, or the militia. On weekdays, there is another livelihood to maintain, which is the guarantee of the whole family. The income from the inspection is not enough to support the family. Indeed, as Han Dahu said, all of his men are the pillars of the family, and whoever falls, the family will also fall.

Han Dahu said everything he had to say, and felt that the time was almost up, so he made up his mind with a thief's eyebrows: "Brother, brother, there is no way to do it, so you can see if it will work, you can join the Tiger team, and I will give you this number if it doesn't work out when the time comes?" ”

Li Kui looked at Han Dahu blankly, and felt helpless: I'm not a businessman, isn't it bullying people if you use a businessman's gesture to negotiate with people for me?

Seeing that Li Kui didn't speak, Han Dahu was ruthless and raised the price again: "This number can't be more." ”

"Brother, I don't insist on your money, but I'm not a businessman, and I can't understand your gestures!" Li Kui said helplessly.

Han Dahu suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Blame me, blame me." In this way, fifty runs, this is also the highest price that the old brother can give. This price is not low or not high when you go to Jinan Mansion to ask for a good hand, and the elder brother also believes in the ability of the elder brother, so he can make such a price. ”

The implication is to tell Li Kui that this is already a high price, if he hadn't tested Li Kui's skills and was indeed much more clever than him, he would not have taken the liberty to ask Li Kui to make a move.

Li Kui said in a deep voice: "Who does the tiger belong to?" ”

"This ......"

Han Dahu is still a little unable to turn around, he is still worried that Li Kui will open his mouth and ask for a price. was waiting for Li Kui's answer intently, but he didn't expect to wait for such a sentence. What tiger belongs to whom?

The tiger is so easy to deal with, as for him to pay such a large sum of money to Li Kui, ask him to be a helper?

Han Dahu laughed for a while, and then pondered, if he rejected Li Kui at this time, this guy would probably turn his face. It's better to promise him, anyway, although the tiger is of high value, as long as he and his subordinates make it clear that Li Kui is the main force and a ruthless character who carries the banner, plus pay a little more benefits, his subordinates will naturally not object.

As for Li Qing?

It's just a headcatcher, and he doesn't even have an official body. If he speaks, there is no reason to object.

After making up his mind, Han Dahu spat out: "Brother Li Kui, you don't know, if the tiger is killed, I will carry the tiger to the street." After that, the ownership of the tiger will naturally be decided by me, but in case adults want to take a fancy to the tiger skin, there is nothing to be done about it! ”

Li Kui nodded in agreement: "I don't want tiger skin, I want tiger bones." ”

Regarding Li Kui's bad taste, Han Dahu really has nothing to say. When we first met, this guy was making trouble in his own pharmacy, thinking that he had encountered a hard nail that pierced his hand. To his surprise, Li Kui really came to sell medicinal materials, but he didn't know the price of medicinal materials, so he stiffened.

At that time, he thought that Li Kui was a visionless mountain man, but he didn't expect to really respond to his words: "What a good mountain man!" It's just a little less insightful. ”

The most worthless thing on the tiger is the tiger bone, although it is collected in the pharmacy, but it takes a lot of time to concoct, and many pharmacies that do not make medicine do not like to use it.

As for tiger meat, it is just a rarity in Tugo.

As soon as Han Dahu summed it up, he simply said generously: "Give it to you, even the tiger meat will be given to you." ”

"It's a good feeling, it's decided. Do you want to pay a deposit or something first......" Li Kui is also poor and afraid, all the money he made from selling ginseng went into Li Quan's stomach, and there was no big boy on his body at this time. When I go out, I don't even dare to eat, which shows how pitiful it is.

This is also why Li Kui pulled Li Quan and ran to Mengshan Town one by one.

At least when he arrives in Mengshan Town, he can still get a bite to eat.

Han Dahu didn't care, but he brought someone to fight the tiger, and he didn't bring much money, but after all, he was an inspection master, and it was not easy to borrow some money?

Soon, Han Dahu brought five pieces of money, which weighed dozens of pounds.

Li Kui beckoned Li Quan to put it on his back, and then took Li Quan to see what rare goods he bought in the shops in Mengshan Town: "Boss, do you have anything to eat?" ”

"Do you want brown sugar, but it's precious!"

Sugar has always been a luxury, a good thing that is hard to eat on weekdays. Li Kui bought some, two hangings for a catty, almost sky-high, bought two catties, and bought some cloth, and let Li Quan carry the things he bought, ready to enter the mountain. I went to the sesame oil shop to buy some sesame oil, and made up my mind to get famous, so naturally I couldn't even save the money for lighting the lamp.

After paying the money, Han Dahu began to mumble in his heart, he knew that Li Kui was good at force, at least he couldn't beat it. But the tiger is stronger than him, right? At least let him fight the tiger alone, most of the time it will cost him his life. However, there is a question that begins to bother him, what if Li Kui can't beat the tiger?

This is very likely to be the case with oneself.

That's right, Li Kui is better than him.

But how strong? It becomes a question, if you are a little stronger than yourself, wouldn't it be useless to have one more Li Kui?

So he had the idea of testing Li Kui's depths, with a smile on his face, and talked with Li Kui enthusiastically, and soon talked about the two axes stuck in Li Kui's waist, and said curiously: "Brother Li Kui, is this axe a real guy?" ”

Li Kui felt the strangeness in Han Dahu's tone, and immediately pulled the handle of the axe off his belt and handed it to Han Dahu, and said, "It's a little heavy, be careful." ”

Han Dahuxin said that the uncle has also been boiling his body since he was a child, and he is also a practitioner.

His hands followed the handle of the axe, and he didn't care too much, but when Li Kui let go, he suddenly found that his two arms seemed to be tied to the ground, sinking down one by one.

Han Dahu was not surprised or rejoiced, he earned it, Li Kui is definitely a first-class good player, and he will not lose fifty times.
