XXXVII. There are many strange ways to collect money

Fish is not as expensive as rice.

Even in troubled times, it has risen by a few cents.

When Chen Mo made a big purchase yesterday, he also made a special inquiry, and the crucian carp was only eight cents a catty.

The reason why it is not expensive is because fish is not popular with the poor and it costs oil.

In addition, the cooking method of ordinary people is simple, and it tastes particularly fishy.

Now it is another year of great disaster, and families with surplus money will use it to buy food instead of fish.

Except for the special species, such as carp, big hole whitebait, sea bass, etc., none of them exceed ten cents a catty.

Herring is seven pounds.

According to the average of seven wen a catty, sixteen catties, not more than sixty wen.

Chen Mo was a little suspicious that Zhang He was tricking him.

Zhang He immediately explained: "Brother Mo, you don't know, sell fish to the Qinghe Gang, the price is almost cut in half, and you have to pay filial piety money to the guards in Dadong Lake, all of which are deducted, only sixty Wen." ”

Zhang He didn't dare to hide his secrets, so he gave Chen Mo all the sixty texts he obtained.

"Filial piety money? Collected so many miscellaneous taxes, and filial piety money..."

After listening to this, Chen Mo only felt outrageous.

He originally thought that the Qinghe Gang had been greedy enough, and in the end, he would have to collect a filial piety money.

Zhang He, who saw Brother Mo's shocked expression, continued: "Brother Mo, I heard that the Qinghe Gang has monopolized the aquatic energy in Pingting County, if you take it back and eat it yourself, it's fine, if you want to go into the city to sell it, then the Qinghe Gang will collect it, and at this time, the Qinghe Gang will only collect it according to the price of dead fish, and a pound of fish can be sold for a penny, even if it is enough..."

"In this way, the caught fish can only be sold to the Qinghe Gang."

The Qinghe Gang once again refreshed Chen Mo's opinion of it.

Most of the people who go fishing in Dadong Lake are poor.

And fish is not popular among the poor, even if you are not afraid of oil, take it back to eat, that is, take one or two back to taste fresh, after all, there are many fish, and if you want to store it, it is not only troublesome, but also salt.

Therefore, they can only sell to the Qinghe Gang in exchange for money to buy the food they need.

This is equivalent to all those who go to Dadong Lake to fish, in fact, to work for the Qinghe Gang.

If you are unlucky, you will not be able to exchange the catch for the ten cents tax you have paid.

Not only did he pay for it, but he also worked for nothing.

Typical paid commute.

Qinghe Gang plays this set of six.

"In two days, come with me to Dadong Lake."

Chen Mo patted Zhang He's shoulder, and immediately returned fifty wen to him: "These are what you deserve." ”

Fortunately, Chen Mo took it back and ate it himself.

Within fifty kilograms, as long as you pay ten cents of tax, you can be less exploited by the Qinghe Gang.

……

Two days later.

Chen Mo paid the remaining four taels of silver, retrieved the Tang Dao, and checked his attribute panel for the first time.

[Name: Chen Mo.] 】

[Age: 16.] 】

[Exercise: Blood Nourishment (Xiaocheng 283.2/500)] 】

[Realm: Refining skin (nine products). 】

[Strength: 38+32.] 】

[Skill: Demon Breaking Knife Method (Intermediate 77300/200000)] 】

The strength of the hand-held hatchet is 38+31.

The dagger is 38+30.

Now holding the Tang Knife, the additional strength has increased a little more.

The feeling of holding it is also better than holding a firewood knife.

"Let's go."

Chen Mo stuck the dagger in the waistband of his trousers, and the Tang knife was wrapped in black cloth and tied with several fishing rods, so that outsiders couldn't tell that Chen Mo also had a knife in his hand.

The two went to Dadong Lake together.

There was light snow today, but the cold wind was blowing hard.

Zhang He walked in front with a fishing rod, carrying a bucket of bait in his hand, which was a mixture of earthworms, bear offal, and rice bran, which was used to make a nest, and Chen Mo followed behind, with a layer of hoarfrost on his head, like a little old man.

After receiving that whip, now Chen Mo doesn't like others to walk behind him.

Soon, the two came to Dadong Lake.

Dadong Lake has thousands of miles of smoke and waves, vertical and horizontal.

But now the entire lake is frozen.

As a southerner, although Chen Mo has seen many pictures of the Songhua River freezing on the Internet, he has never seen it with his own eyes.

There were quite a few people scattered on the ice.

Although the Qinghe Gang is very exploitative, if you can catch a dozen catties of fish every day, you can still make some money.

A wooden shed was erected at the entrance, and a group of people were gathered in front of the wooden shed, and there was a wailing sound.

Chen Mo and the others walked over to take a look, and found an old man in sackcloth lying in the middle, who was being punched and kicked by several members of the Qinghe Gang, and his body was covered with footprints.

The old man's body was weak, and after being severely beaten, he soon lost his breath.

The onlookers couldn't help but take two steps back in fright.

A voice came from the wooden shed: "It's all for Lao Tzu to listen to, whoever dares to sneak into Dadong Lake to fish secretly without paying taxes in the future will be like this." ”

Dadong Lake covers a huge area, and there are always places that cannot be seen by the Qinghe Gang, so every day there are people who can't pay the fishing tax, sneaking in to make holes to fish, of course, there are people who succeed in poaching fish, but more are found by people and then killed.

"Was Uncle Da Lin also beaten to death like this in the first place?" Chen Mo looked at the old man who had lost his breath on the ground, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes moved to the wooden shed.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the wooden shed, and next to him sat a big man with his chest exposed, and a fierce descending tiger tattooed on his chest, and on his legs sat a beautiful woman with a slight posture, fiddling coquettishly hammering the big man's shoulder.

On the door of the big man's head, there is a red number 33.

"Brother Tiger, this is my fishing tax for Brother Mo and me."

Zhang He pointed at Chen Mo, and immediately stepped forward and put the twenty yuan on the table in front of the big man.

The big man who was called Brother Tiger by Zhang He, he ignored him, and the little brother next to him counted the number, and then put it away in the cash box next to Brother Tiger.

Then the younger brother picked up the iron rod next to the wooden shed, glanced at Zhang He and Chen Mo, and said, "You come with me." ”

As soon as Chen Mo and Zhang He left the wooden shed, Brother Hu's voice sounded: "What do you see?" Has this old man collected the body? Didn't find an ice hole to throw down and feed the fish. ”

...

The fishing ice cave Qinghe Gang will let people fight well, of course, this is not the kindness of the Qinghe Gang, the main reason is that they are afraid that people will come and collapse the ice.

Secondly, a tax money makes a hole.

If you want to play more ice holes, you need to add more money, and one ice hole costs two pennies.

You are not allowed to fight privately, you can only let the people of the Qinghe Gang fight you.

Chen Mo: "......"

He took out another four pennies and made two more ice holes.

After the people of the Qinghe Gang left, Zhang He hurriedly explained: "Brother Mo, I don't know that I still have to charge money for more ice holes, I didn't hear anyone say anything yesterday." ”

"It's none of your business."

Who would have thought that the Qinghe Gang would be able to collect money like this.

I don't know if anyone who fishes for the first time has a novice reward, Chen Mo didn't make a nest, and the two rods under him, in less than a quarter of an hour, caught three fish in a row, and each of them was more than two catties.

ps: I took it, and I sent two Tang Dao easter egg pictures in a row, but I couldn't show the whole picture.
