Chapter 54: What the Hell Is Going On?
In the blink of an eye, the time came seven days later.
In the past few days, Jiang Hua has been idle, so he took his guards and walked around the villages near Yangcheng.
The people of these villages have also been displaced by the army in these days. Looking at the blank eyes of the villagers, Jiang Hua's joy of winning the battle was washed away a lot.
Most of the villagers are skinny and bone-ty, and the slightly older ones are hunchbacked, with many wrinkles on their foreheads like the lines on the bark, their skin is tanned by the sun, and their mouths are full of big yellow teeth.
Looking at these villagers, it was as if I had returned to the end of the Qing Dynasty.
In the eyes of the villagers, there is no brilliance, and they work hard just to live.
By the river, Jiang Hua was fishing, looking unhappy, and Feng Yi walked over with the bill.
"My lord, in the past seven days, we have interrogated more than 800 honorary scholars, more than 100 powerful scholars, more than 30 honorary scholars, and six powerful scholars......
"The so-called honorary countrymen refer to the countrymen who have made meritorious contributions and awakened their bloodlines, but their descendants are not strong enough and have not awakened their bloodlines."
"The people of the country with real power often awaken their blood and have the strength of the countrymen. And the original generation of Chinese people died, and the second generation of Chinese people and the third generation of Chinese people are very likely to have no awakened bloodline. ”
However, the doctor often called up these second and third generations of Chinese because of the war. The tasks assigned on the battlefield are also distributed according to the strength of the countrymen. ”
"Over time, the second and third generations of Chinese people either died on the battlefield, or they took the initiative to give up their fiefdoms to keep them safe."
"The honorary people took the initiative to give up their fiefdoms and obtained at least 1,000 acres of estates, and from then on, they only need to pay a tax burden to keep it forever."
"The same is true for the honorary scholars, who often had a township or several villages as fiefs. Honorary scholars, on the other hand, usually only have 10,000 or 20,000 acres of land as fiefs. ”
"More than 800 honorary nationals have very little extraordinary knowledge, most of them don't even know all about bloodline, and their value is extremely limited.
"In them, a total of about 100 million dollars were found, as well as various resources worth 300 million dollars."
"It's a little little, but it's reasonable." Jiang Hua said as he began to nest.
Feng Yi explained: "Chaoguo is a paddy field, and the yield per mu is relatively high, which can reach four stones, but the overall grain output of Chaoguo is high, so it can't be sold at a high price, and one dollar can buy two catties of grain." 1,000 acres of land, that is, 4,000 stone of grain, 200,000 yuan. ”
"Of the 200,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan belongs to the doctor, and 20,000 yuan is the minimum standard of living needed to support the tenants. There are 20,000 yuan is the minimum standard for maintaining several servants, 20,000 yuan is the tuition fee for sending his son to learn martial arts, 20,000 yuan is spent on ushering in and maintaining relationships, and sometimes, in the event of war, he has to spend money to buy weapons and armor. ”
"In the nest country, a piece of armor costs 10,000 yuan to start. A weapon of acceptable quality has to start with a thousand dollars. Sometimes, Hu Cong died in battle, which was another big burden. ”
"These honorary countrymen, although they own a thousand acres of estate, are not as rich as they imagined."
"Go on." With that, Jiang Hua ended the nesting and officially started fishing.
"The wealth of the people with real power is not as much as they imagined, because they are anxious to transform their wealth into extraordinary knowledge and extraordinary resources, and extraordinary knowledge and resources are in the hands of doctors, so their wealth is transferred to the hands of doctors by trading knowledge and trading extraordinary resources."
"Honorable scholars and real power scholars are similar."
"In the entire Yang City, the only one at the top is the doctor himself."
"But even doctors are not as rich as they think."
"Oh? Why is that? Jiang Hua asked without looking back.
"Because the Taoist came, although the Sun family has always hated the Taoist, he still likes the various talismans, magic weapons, and magic weapons refined by the Taoist."
"And the various products produced by the Taoist people are good but very expensive."
"The simplest soothing sleep talisman costs two hundred dollars for a one-time use. A simplest fire talisman with little power, but it costs thousands of dollars to buy. ”
"A simple and useless magic weapon also needs 10,000 yuan to start. A piece of Xuan armor forged by qi refiners starts with millions of dollars. ”
"As for magic weapons, only Taoist priests can refine them. This is no longer just a matter of money, but also needs to be exchanged with natural materials and resources, and a large amount of money is just the foundation. ”
According to the investigation, Yang Chengsun was tossed enough by a Taoist priest back then. The Taoist priest claimed that he could help the Yang Cheng Sun clan purify the bloodline safely, but he spent more than a billion dollars before and after, and in the end there was no result, and then the Taoist priest ran away......"
Hearing this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but secretly sympathize with the Sun family.
This is when I met an unscrupulous Taoist, cheated money and resources, cheated everything, and then patted my ass and ran away.
This is really an unscrupulous Taoist like a big scumbag, and the prestige of the Taoist group has been ruined.
Helping to purify the bloodline is still the most commonly used slogan, and as for longevity and longevity, it is an enduring large-scale scam.
The buoys in the river did not move, but Jiang Hua took the initiative to sigh: "In the ecology of Yangcheng, the common people are the lowest level, and they need to hand over a large amount of wealth as security expenses. Otherwise, they will be driven out of their villages, towns, or counties. ”
"The county seat is the safest, and the houses in the county town are not worried. Ordinary people could not buy a house in the county seat, so they had to pay a high amount of money every year to ensure the safety of their home. ”
"The cost of security in the township is lower, and the houses here can be bought by ordinary people permanently, but after the purchase, they still have to pay a large amount of money every year as a security fee."
"In the village, half of the annual income of each person is directly used as security expenses."
"Once the common people can't help but leave the village, they will automatically become a wild man with no origin. Savages are not allowed to enter the county seat, savages are not allowed to live in villages and towns, and savages can only live in savage villages in the wild. ”
"These villages are unprotected, often extorted, and lives are not guaranteed."
"The savages in Yangcheng are the lowest level, and they may be looted, knocked unconscious, and sold as slaves when they walk on the road."
"The people of Yangcheng are a little safer, but they are only alive and struggling to survive."
"The people of Yangcheng can live safely and steadily, but it is difficult to climb up."
"The scholars in Yangcheng can live a better quality of life, and they have a lot more choices."
"But even the Sun clan has to be oppressed by the Qing clan, oppressed by the monarch, and deceived by the Taoists."
"Even if it is a monarch, he has to be squeezed by the Wu State and the Yue State next door, even if he is almost destroyed by the Wu State, he has to honestly offer to the Wu State at this moment."
"You say, what the hell is going on here?".
