Chapter 605: The Agent of the Four Great Cities (Asking for Praise)
After some pushing, Zhan Jingyi insisted on stuffing this silver coin into the village chief's hand, and suddenly had nothing to worry about.
Sit down, continue to eat, there is nothing to worry about, and talk about family life with a smile: "The roads here are not easy to walk, and the maps seem to be messy." I originally wanted to go to the Ice Glass City, but I don't know why, I ran dozens of miles along the road, and looking at the map, it seems that it is even farther. ”
"Village Chief, I would like to inquire, if you want to go over there, which way are you used to going?"
"Ice City? This season has passed, and there is chaos over there, and I heard that a group of outsiders have recently come over there, and they are fierce. ”
When the village chief heard this, he pondered slightly, shook his head and said: "Little brother, I advise you, it's better to go back here, it's too dangerous for you to go alone." ”
"Besides, you did go the wrong way, if you come from the west, you can follow the cargo road, and you can go to the Ice Glass City smoothly. Now that you have come to us, it is already a wasteland, and it is not easy to take the trail, and your car is too big, I can show you the way to the freight road. ”
"Cargo lane?"
Zhan Jingyi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked carefully, he didn't know that there was still a cargo channel, could it be that it was specially used for goods?
The village chief explained with a smile: "The cargo road is the main road built by several big cities of human beings, which is specially used to transport goods, which is very smooth and suitable for running large cars, which is fuel-efficient and fast." ”
"However, the cargo road is generally run by people from several major cities, and ordinary people are not allowed to go on, so you need to go to the agent to declare, and then pay the toll, and get the approval slip, so that you can pass the checkpoint and enter the cargo road, and you can go directly to the city of ice glass."
"Is there such a good road here?"
Zhan Jingyi thought in his heart, hurriedly asked carefully, and listened to the village chief's explanation, only to understand that it turned out that this land of ice glass was also roughly divided by human forces.
With the Ice Glass City as the center, the surrounding large and small gathering points and towns are divided into four major regions, southeast, northwest and northwest, which are managed by the four major cities of Heiwang City, Black Flag City, Black Water City, and Black Sword City, which are large "wastelands".
In these four regions, there is no so-called division of towns at all, but in some gathering points, there will be some agents arranged by the four major cities, and these people are directly responsible to the four major cities, purchasing materials for them, distributing materials, etc.
The so-called cargo road is a long and wide main road with an internal transportation network exclusively occupied by the four regions.
"In that case, if you want to go to the Ice Glass City smoothly, it's really a problem......
When he came out of the Ice Glass City, he also followed Liu Da and Wang Kai out of their car, and in the middle of the night, he turned left and right, and he didn't know how to get out, and now he asked him to find the way he walked at that time, which may be very difficult.
After listening to the village chief's words, Zhan Jingyi seriously considered this problem, in fact, today I was very lucky to meet such a sensible village chief and avoided a lot of trouble.
But if you continue to take the path, first, you may still fall into the pit, and second, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of similar extortion and robbery.
I don't necessarily meet people like this village every time, and if someone wants to kill me, I have to kill them for the sake of fairness.
However, if you go all the way and encounter too many, won't you kill a lot of people?
After returning from the Savage Lands, he never wanted to kill too many people, so in that case, the only way to do what this village chief said, to find an agent, right?
In order not to give those people a chance to be killed by themselves, I went to pay the toll that could have been saved......
…… Alas, think of it as your own compromise with the world!
……
"In that case, I can also go to an agent?"
Zhan Jingyi weighed it carefully and asked this question.
"Yes, the agent can take care of everything, as long as you have money, you can do anything......"
The village chief said: "Whether it is the toll of the usual freight road, or the usual tax collection, or which two sides are engaged in fighting, everything in the wasteland is under his control." ”
"Hey, we're here, it's because we lost the fight with the gathering point next door last time, and we were robbed of a lot of things and my mother-in-law, so that we don't even know how to pay the taxes for the next season......"
"Hmm......"
Zhan Jingyi raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, and suddenly said, "So, you want to rob me?" ”
"What's ...... this?"
The village chief said confidently: "From the perspective of technical means, we can at most be regarded as extortion, or attempt, not robbery, and whether it is enough to sentencing the standard." ”
In the face of such a detailed division of work, Zhan Jingyi could only admit that what he said was quite reasonable, and shook his head slightly, since the other party was so honest, Zhan Jingyi also said: "However, it's not good to do this?" ”
"Although it is not enough to sentencing the standard, you are not afraid in case you meet a strong person? That is, I have a good temper, otherwise ......"
"Guest, you're not right."
The village chief actually directly refuted Zhan Jingyi's words and said, "If God doesn't let us live anymore, then is it wrong for us to do this?" ”
As he spoke, he glared at the door and shouted, "Second boy, you eat stones again, put them down for me." ”
Zhan Jingyi turned his head to look, and saw a runny child squatting at the door, holding a stone and licking there, while licking, he looked at the meat sausage on his table, his eyes lit up, as if he tasted the meat sausage at a glance, and licked it even more happily.
Zhan Jingyi looked at it, a little unbearable, took a meat sausage and handed it to him: "Give it to you." ”
"Hey......"
The village chief just stretched out his hand to stop it, but the child was already surprised and delighted, and came over and snatched the sausage with a "swish", looking at his gobbling up, Zhan Jingyi couldn't help laughing, and his mood suddenly changed a lot.
"Guest, you ......"
The village chief didn't know what to say, as if what Zhan Jingyi did was very embarrassing, and he just shook his head when he wanted to speak.
Soon, Zhan Jingyi also found out that the problem was wrong, and saw that after the second kid took away the sausage, after a while, a black and pressed little head was squeezed at the door.
Looking at himself pitifully, he was slightly stunned, turned his head, and saw that the village chief had vigilantly put away the meat sausages on the table, not only the meat sausages, but also the wotou and coarse bread.
"Stingy ......"
Zhan Jingyi glanced at the village chief with some dissatisfaction, thought about it for a while, and felt that Shi Ergongzi had prepared a lot of dry food for himself, which was enough for himself, so he went to his car, took out a box of canned beef, and put it at the door.
"Take it yourself!"
Zhan Jingyi stood at the door and waved his hand generously, watching the children flock up, holding it in his hand and carrying it in his arms, he was in a good mood.
The village chief looked at this scene, and didn't know what to say, as if he felt that Zhan Jingyi was dissatisfied with him, and put down the nest head and dry noodle cakes in a sneering manner, and said embarrassedly: "That's the way it is in the village, no one wants to starve the dolls, right?" ”
As he spoke, he shook his head: "But you don't know, how ruthless the agent is in collecting taxes, robbers come to rob things, they don't care, they turn their heads and say that they will collect as much tax as they want, and there is not enough food to grow in the field, and then they will hand it all over to them, and when they look back, they still owe them a lot, what to do if they can't survive, of course they have to find a way to get something to eat......
"But one thing to say, we're still very disciplined."
Zhan Jingyi was a little quick to understand him, and suddenly stunned again: "You all started blackmailing, and you still obey the rules?" ”
"Of course......"
The village chief even said proudly: "When the guests come to our village, we should help and take care of them, regardless of what they eat and drink, and even if they want to save up the whole program, we will provide them as much as possible." ”
"In the end, no matter how much money the guests have, we are not greedy, neither kill nor hurt people, and we always leave two travel expenses for people after the robbery, so that they can go back alive......"
"You say, are we the rules people?"
"Huh?"
Zhan Jingyi listened to the village chief's words, a little speechless, but there was one thing to say, why did he feel that the village chief's words were quite reasonable......
Life passes, I can't live anymore, it's understandable to grab points and blackmail a little, right?
Moreover, in addition to robbery and blackmail, he can leave a little bottom line, and he seems to be a rule-abiding person......
I felt that I accidentally heard a profound philosophy of life, and slowly, Zhan Jingyi gradually opened up the conversation, the two of you said a word, I said a word, but chatted happily, and soon became a very good friend.
The village chief is also a bold person, not only told Zhan Jingyi in detail about the situation and rules here, but also pointed him out the way to the agent's side.
In response to his enthusiasm, Zhan Jingyi also left the gold coin that he had put back in his pocket when he left.
Before leaving, many people in the village came to see him off enthusiastically, waved their hands to Zhan Jingyi in a friendly manner, and sent him out of the village, and the village chief personally took someone to send Zhan Jingyi away for a while, so as not to be trapped in the surrounding ditch again.
After all, these ditches were dug by themselves, and they knew the location better, including which nails and whatever, and they were also prepared to welcome guests to the village.
When it was time to separate, the village chief also told Zhan Jingyi with great concern: "Big brother, do you remember, when you go to the agent, you must abide by the rules, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do." ”
"Your idea is nothing in other people's places, we are all honest people, we must not go to other people's places to play smart, and we can live a long time by doing things according to the rules......"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, go back!"
Zhan Jingyi smiled and assured him: "I have always been very well-behaved......"
After saying that, he waved goodbye to them, and hurried towards the agent in a very good mood.
"Everyone, please praise, collect, vote! Thanks!"
