Chapter 60: Two Years of Change

A.D. 182, summer.

Disasters occurred frequently in the Central Plains of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Xuzhou intercepted water, resulting in a major drought in Yuzhou. The Yanzhou earthquake and the epidemic spread along the north bank of the Yellow River to Qingzhou, Yuzhou and Sili.

The royal family suppressed the Central Plains family, a large number of family officials were replaced, local miscellaneous taxes were strictly reviewed, and the people hoped that the family would restore the old system, and when the family was powerless, the famine in the Central Plains loomed.

After the field tax, the warehouse was full, and the miscellaneous tax was implemented, and people went into exile.

The land tax of 30 taxes and 1 in the Eastern Han Dynasty should have allowed the people to keep a rich surplus of grain. But the miscellaneous taxes at the end of the Han Dynasty were more scary, especially when it came to Liu Hong, the poll tax had been increased to more than 200 yuan.

And the double of the poll tax for slaves, doormen, serfs, and Qubu makes it even more difficult for people to sell themselves in the market.

Taxes, servitude, levies, military levies, and so on. The family and the royal family share the profits, and in the original of these taxes, the family will exempt or register less through certain means, which is referred to as tax evasion.

Through these means, the Maison can reduce the burden on the people in the village and reduce their own expenditure, so as to achieve a balance.

But when the royal family and the eunuch group launched a 'hunt' for the Central Plains, whether it was because the family was weak or intentionally inactive, when the family lost its original 'function', when the family began to obey the law and wait for the people, it was undoubtedly hell.

As if entering the countdown to the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the world gradually became familiar in Liu Cang's eyes.

Zhuojun is far away from the central government, and it is not under the control of Liu Hong and that group of eunuchs for the time being, but it has not been affected too much.

The Dongshan near Lousang Village has been surrounded by Liu Cang's knot, and with the care of the two villages, Liu Cang is now a well-known 'rich' family in the local area.

"Uncle San, take someone to bring up all those golden chickens, and sell them while the merchants in the village are still there."

The 20-meter-high waterfall is not only beautiful, but also majestic. Liu Cang lifted his halberd shirtless, panted and stepped out of the waterhole, shouting to Liu Sanyi, who was guarding nearby.

The height is already more than 1.7 meters, and the sixteen-year-old Liu Cang's complexion is bronze, and his posture is even more vigorous.

The waterfall has increased its impulse, and the depth of the waterhole is more than two meters, and now Liu Cang will dive into the water to practice halberd with his extraordinary lung capacity.

This kind of exercise allows him to complete a more efficient refining body in a shorter time, but because he is worried that he will be injured or in danger of losing his strength, Liu Cang will always have one or two guards on the shore when he performs this kind of exercise.

"Okay, which one to sell it to? The Lu clan is still those weirdos of the Li clan. Liu Sanlu responded, and before the words fell, a huge shadow beside him roared out and rushed straight towards Liu Cang.

"Wang~~ Bang!" A dog barked, accompanied by a huge splash, a rather large brown and gray giant dog fluttered in the water, held its head up, and swam beside Liu Cang.

Higashiyama dog 'hero'. The male dog that Liu Cang once got from the Huns, in two years, has grown into a big dog that can easily overturn an adult and suppress it.

Today, the height of the 'hero' has grown to almost a metre.

Since childhood, Liu Cang's teaching to it has made it not easy to pounce, but to rush to the front, pushing and biting according to the next three roads.

Pushing away the heroes who were happy and pleading, Liu Cang walked out of the waterhole and took the clothes handed by Liu Sanli.

"Selling the Lu family, they are under the name of Lu Zhi, and there are not many of those Romans in total, that is, they are rare in appearance and have no family background." Liu Cang didn't wipe off the water stains on his body, and directly put on a blue power suit.

"Puff puff~" The hero followed Liu Cang out of the pool, shook the water stains on his body, was kicked by Liu Cang, and sa huan drilled into the forest.

Because it is Liu Cang's spirit animal, its IQ is far beyond that of its kind, and it can also recognize the villagers who are often active in the mountains, and usually does not attack the villagers who are active in the mountains.

"Okay, Childe, in fact, those brood chickens are nothing, and the big guy usually looks strict. Hehe, although the mother-in-law of the Li family is scary, tsk, but it is easy to give birth to her. ”

Avoiding the hero, Liu Sanlu made an arc in front of his chest, sighed, looked at Liu Cang and smiled, and turned to leave for a moment.

The Li clan, a self-proclaimed clan of Romans who settled in Han China. At the beginning, Liu Cang was also more surprised to meet them in Zhuo County.

Foreign exchanges were already very prosperous in the Han Dynasty, and these Romans should have been the first captives brought back by the Han army during the conquest of the Western Regions.

After returning to the Han Dynasty, they were thrown to the side of Longxi, and for many years they integrated into the Han Dynasty, did not like to cultivate and livestock, and usually traveled to the Western Regions to trade, and occasionally a few people walked in the Han land.

Liu Sanlu is a member of the Liu clan in Lousang Village, and now Liu Cang is officially 'promoted' to become a son in Lousang and East Village.

The reason is that Cai Yong has brought very practical benefits to the two villages.

Since he went to Huangfu Song in his early years to fight the autumn breeze and returned to Lousang, Liu Cang began to work on the tidying up of Dongshan and the stocking of livestock.

In terms of monetary investment, through Jian Yong, Liu Cang exchanged 100 catties of gold for ten yak calves from the Xiongnu, I have to say, it is really the price of cabbage.

Nowadays, the price of Handi calves is also about 4,000 yuan, although yaks have certain geographical limitations, but the upper limit of beef growth physique can reach two hundred, and the gain probability is medium, and there is no difference between cattle and yaks.

As for these yaks, as long as they are not dragged south of Jizhou, it will save a lot of effort to throw them in the mountains and raise them.

Ten calves were started, and it was also thanks to Jian Yong, a good brother of the Huns, that this deal could be made.

After that, Liu Cang ran out of money, but Cai Yong was also pardoned by Liu Hong for the crime of exile, and without saying anything, Liu Cang directly found Zhang Fei and his father to borrow money.

This has to be put in normal times, and it is impossible for Zhang Mo to lend it to Liu Cang, because in addition to farming, everything must first pass the tax level, especially for breeding, if it is not very good, it will be lost.

But with Cai Yong, everything is different, aside from taxes, and with the support of two villages, as long as you don't encounter natural and man-made disasters, you can almost make a profit.

I got money from Zhang Fei's father, and the large animals did not dare to buy them indiscriminately, so they bought four pack horses and horses and foals, totaling 48,000 yuan.

Counting the two horses brought back from Huangfu Song earlier, there are enough ten, because the spirit essence produced by the horse and the pack horse can be used on the body of the war horse, which makes Liu Cang grit his teeth and pay for it.

The calves and the foals, and then the piglets and lambs were cheaper, and six piglets were worth three hundred dollars, and ten lambs were worth two thousand.

Originally, Liu Cang also wanted to raise some more dogs, meat dogs are cheap, and they only cost two hundred yuan a piece when they grow up, but those ordinary small and medium-sized dogs are not fierce beasts, and the spiritual essence produced cannot be used on giant dogs.

As for the hunting dogs and fighting dogs playing in the upper echelons of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ya's money is often more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, Liu Cang directly accepted his thoughts, and then thought of other ways to toss it in a few years.

The horses were led by the war horse 'Neighing', and they roamed the pastures on the side of the mountain on weekdays.

The yak 'long hair' restricts the calves, the goat's 'military advisor' restricts the lambs, and the village sends dolls to herd the cattle and sheep and raise them in the mountains.

The canopy is delicious and lazy to do, the piglets are directly captive, and although the canopy can also be restrained, it is easy for people to misunderstand and eat indiscriminately, and it is easy to attract criticism when selling.

The turtle 'brick' has been lying in the pit for 10,000 years, and it will take half a day to call it out.

And the Dongshan dog 'Haohan' and its daughter-in-law 'Big Girl', including the eagle eagle 'Gold', are still the pets of Liu Gongzi's flying eagle walking dog.

Compared to these guys who don't have a few little brothers, the 'Battle Chicken' probably belongs to the most hard-working one.

If it weren't for the labor arranged for Liu Cang in the village, the battle chickens should still wilt today.

Compared with those larger livestock, raising chickens is Liu Cang's main source of income and the meat and eggs he eats.

The behavior pattern of chickens is relatively loose, it is free-range, too much is raised, and the fighting chickens can't be seen with this, and it is difficult to restrain the broken legs running all over the mountain.

And now Liu Cang always has 20 'short-term workers' who don't need money, and their main task is to take care of the chickens and birds running all over the mountain.

Well, each of the two villages sent ten miscellaneous workers to Liu Cang, no money, squeezing his head...
