Lao Jiao and his colleague didn't come out to collect taxes and grain on the first day.

In the past half a month, they have traveled to more than 20 mountain villages in the northern area of Shanyang City.

No matter where they arrived, when they mentioned the matter of collecting taxes and grain, the villagers all cried and begged for forgiveness, and tried every means to evade taxes and grain.

Without exception, without him, in the year of the great drought, even some landlords' families were about to be borrowed by the government and had no surplus grain, what do you let these ordinary peasant households do?

But now, on the contrary, after hearing what he said about collecting taxes and grain, the village chief actually responded directly, and the villagers did not have any rebuttals.

Such an abrupt performance formed a sharp contrast with other villages, and this contrast suddenly made Lao Jiao feel a little uncomfortable.

Immediately afterwards, the village chief actually proposed to invite the two of them to dinner?

It's so atmospheric!

If this had been placed in previous years, when there were no disasters and the harvest was good, it would have been easy to say, and it could be regarded as a service to the officials.

But now that more than half of the people in the village have run away due to the drought, they still have spare food to eat? And there is meat?

Lao Jiao heard people from the surrounding villages tell him that the backing village was the worst, and he couldn't even drink water.

According to statistics in the yamen, the population loss in the backing villages is the most serious, and half of the population has been reduced a month ago.

In this case, do they still have the heart to invite themselves to dinner enthusiastically?

If they were really so rich in food, would the villagers who fled the famine still run away from their homes to survive?

Something is wrong, there's definitely something wrong with that!

What are they going to do?

Rebel and kill officials? Sacrificial flags? Just let the two unlucky eggs catch up!

Lao Jiao couldn't help but tighten the knife in his hand, but quickly gave up.

I can't help it. Even if you resist, you will definitely hit a stone with an egg!

Lao Jiao and the others glanced at the more than ten shiny silver guns on the side, and walked over with Li Guanshan tremblingly.

Then, I saw that a villager brought two bowls of steaming braised noodles and delivered them.

This...... Is there really noodles to eat?

Is there really two slices of bacon the size of copper coins on it?

Good guy, this fragrance, I really can't help it! I have a family of six, and I haven't smelled meat for several days!

Lao Jiao was still fighting fiercely in his heart, when he saw another villager walking over with a green and red fruit in his hand.

"Two adults, this is the Danli fruit we happened to encounter on the way here, it is fresh, you two taste it quickly."

As soon as Lao Jiao and the others saw the Dan Liguo, the saliva secretion in their mouths suddenly intensified.

I couldn't help it, I was hungry all night, so I nibbled on a dry cookcake, and I didn't have any water to drink, I really couldn't bear it.

Moreover, in the year of the great drought, the price of the best fruit such as Danli fruit soared, and he hadn't eaten it for a long time.

Lao Jiao was swallowing his saliva and hesitated, but he saw that his young colleague had already taken the handful of danli fruit regardless of it, and began to eat it while peeling it.

"Eat, Lao Jiao, even if you are slaughtered, it is better to be a full ghost than a hungry ghost." The colleague muttered softly.

Lao Jiao sighed, this is really the truth.

It's here, eat it now! What else can be done?

As soon as Lao Jiao picked up the noodles with chopsticks, he felt that his companion next to him was suddenly stunned, and then, the officer's eyes suddenly rolled white, and the whole person lay backwards.

What's the situation? Poisonous!

Lao Jiao was suddenly shocked!

The whole person trembled, and suddenly sat down on the ground.

……

Xu Bo'an has always been concerned about the abnormal changes in bonsai.

When the two officers identified themselves, Xu Boan also realized in an instant.

It turned out that the imperial green material thing he was holding in his hand was the waist card of the young villain!

These two villains are not old, weak, sick and disabled villagers who can't walk, but yamen servants who come to collect taxes!

However, this government is inevitably too rich, right, and actually uses the best jade and jade like imperial green as a waist card?

I heard Li Qingshi say before that this place has been in drought for several years, and it has reached a bad situation where the people are struggling to make a living and leaving their hometowns, so can the government still be so rich?

This is a bit too extravagant!

Normally, shouldn't this luxury be exchanged for some food for disaster relief and let the people tide over the difficulties?

Dajingchao really doesn't know what these officials think!

Xu Bo'an was about to scold the dog officer, but suddenly heard the errand officer say with a bitter face, "The waist card costs fifty copper coins to make up one."

Lao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Fifty copper coins, for an imperial green waist card?

Although Xu Bo'an doesn't know the purchasing power in the bonsai world, according to normal circumstances, fifty copper coins should not be too much.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that this big Jing Dynasty in the bonsai world, although it is poor in money, it is not bad in imperial green!

In other words, the imperial green in the bonsai world is not worth anything at all!

Everyone understands the truth of "rare things are expensive", and the reason why imperial green is expensive is because it is really too rare.

In the same way, since the Dajing Dynasty in the bonsai world can use imperial green jadeite as a waist card, this does not mean that this thing can be seen everywhere.

Xu Boan figured this out, and suddenly the whole person became excited.

It's definitely the rhythm of making a fortune.

Buying a batch of imperial green jadeite at a low price and selling it is a pure profit of millions!

This difference in price made the coal boss in Hedong Province next door know that they have to cry!

Xu Boan was happily thinking about his road to getting rich, when he suddenly saw the young errand faint directly to the ground with a "bang".

A group of villains in the bonsai suddenly panicked.

"What's going on?"

"Ah, what's wrong with this man."

"Oh, what's the situation, it's not like I'm choking on food."

The officer surnamed Jiao hugged his head even more exaggeratedly and shouted: "Fellow villagers, spare my life, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, and it is also helpless to come to collect taxes and grain, so don't embarrass me as a temporary worker." ”

However, no one paid attention to him, and a group of people surrounded the errand who was lying on the ground, and you and I came up with ideas one by one.

"It's not choking, if it's choking, it's impossible to pass out directly, you have to struggle and move."

"That's right, I used to choke when I was eating dates on a stake, and it wasn't like this."

"Hurry up and call Lang Zhong."

"The nearest Lang Zhong is in Xishan Town, and it takes a day's foot to go back and forth. Is it too late? ”

"What can I do about this, the official has an accident with us, this is a big trouble."

A group of people were talking nonsense, but Xu Boan stared at the string of red "Danli fruits", thinking of a similar situation that happened on the construction site before.

When Xu Bo'an was working on the old city renovation project, he bought fresh lychees as lunch fruit in the canteen one morning.

A colleague in the laboratory of the construction site saw the unloading of the food delivery truck, and before the meal was eaten, he took a bunch of lychees to eat, and after eating more than 20 pieces, his face turned pale and fainted.

Fortunately, the project department was next to the hospital at that time, and even if it was sent to the emergency department.

The doctor diagnosed that the tester fainted because he had eaten too much lychee on an empty stomach and had low blood sugar.

At that time, Xu Boan knew about the unheard of disease of "lychee disease".

And the so-called "Dan Liguo" that this errand just ate, Xu Boan recognized at a glance, it was a common lychee on the market!

That's right, it's the lychee who "rode the red dust concubine and smiled, and no one knew that it was a lychee"!
