Chapter 001 Unmarried Tax
"Lu Lang, the imperial court is going to levy a wedding tax, I remember that you have reached your final age this year!"
"I don't have that much money!"
"You can't do anything without money, you can't break the law! Find someone to borrow! There is no way around it! β
Early in the morning, Lu Yi was sitting on the threshold of his room, looking at the sky in a daze.
Next to him, Uncle Geng, who came out to work, broke out a piece of information.
Uncle Geng has a son, but he works as an errand in the government.
During this period of time, everything he specially reminded has come true.
It's just that no matter how true the information he broke out this time, Lu Yi can't help it.
Because, he really has no money!
A year ago, he saw a mirage, and then inexplicably traveled to this otherworld.
No system, no cheats.
Even, he can't do the most basic thing like getting information about this world!
Because, he dresses and dresses completely different from this world!
What he says, others don't understand.
He doesn't understand what others say!
He was even close to a village where people chased him with weapons and slashed him!
Even, he saw people eating people!
That's right, it's man cannibalism!
There was drought everywhere.
As far as the eye can see, you can't even see a bit of green!
It's miserable!
Those young and strong men, who couldn't stand the hunger, attacked the old people and children around them.
It's creepy to see him!
After a year of hiding in Tibet, his hair grew long, the clothes on his body were changed to the clothes of ordinary people in this world, and he also learned the two languages of this world: official and vernacular.
Only then did he gradually integrate into this other world.
Only then did he understand what this miserable world was.
The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in a parallel world!
Moreover, the Yellow Turban Uprising has begun!
However, this late Eastern Han Dynasty is different from the history books, as if it is mixed with some wild history, or the content of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
He didn't know exactly how much was involved.
Because, he's just an outcast!
The homeless people simply have little access to the intelligence of the whole world.
Because of the drought everywhere and the death of people everywhere, Lu Yi followed the people of Wu County and became a homeless person, crossing the river and migrating to the Lujiang River in the northwest.
Why did you migrate here?
Because, according to rumors, the current Taishou of Lujiang is called Lu Kang, and he is a member of the Lu family of the Wujun Shi clan!
Under his governance, although Lujiang is not much rich, but he accepts displaced people, as long as he is diligent and willing to work, at least he will not starve to death.
Not dying of hunger, in this year, is simply a luxury!
There is no family that has not starved to death!
After Lu Yi and the people of Wu County crossed the river, they encountered bandits.
Many people scattered.
Some were even hacked to death on the spot by these bandits because they ran away!
Lu Yi hid himself in the river water, soaked for a day and a night, and his skin turned white, before he survived these bandits.
When he came ashore, he groped around with corpses, seeking to exchange for slightly cleaner clothes.
Hopefully find something to eat if possible.
Then, he saw the body of a manβ
"Lu Yi".
That's right, it's the real "Lu Yi".
Lu Yi's original name was not called this.
This is really "Lu Yi", Lu Yi has seen it!
A young man in the side branch of the Lu family in Wu County.
Zhen Lu Yi's neighbors all died before crossing the river.
Some people fell ill and died.
Some starved to death.
There are wealthy families in the main family of the Lu family, and there are even tribes.
However, in order to prevent the homeless people from looting, in addition to maintaining the food and drink of the members of the main clan, even the side branches did not care.
got the guide from the real Lu Yi, and Lu Yi abandoned his name and called himself "Lu Yi" from then on.
The reason for this is because he is now the most despicable existence among the outcasts-
There is no wayguide!
No identity!
This year's ups and downs have made him clear that this kind of existence will not be able to turn over in his life.
It doesn't matter how capable you are.
It can only be the existence of the bottom.
And the identity of "Lu Yi" can make him transform, at least a person with a clan.
Moreover, once you arrive in Lujiang and become a side branch of Lu Kang's Taishou, you will at least have a place to settle down.
Sure enough, after he finally settled in Shu County in Lujiang, he showed the road guide, and was sent by the local officials to arrange a dilapidated house in the northernmost part of Shu County.
He was also given three days of food.
Even, offered him a job.
It's called a groom.
As a husband, he received two meals a day, followed by two copper coins.
That's right, two copper coins!
Two copper coins can only be exchanged for half a baked cake made of coarse grain!
And now, Lu Yi has been playing for half a month.
So far, thirty copper coins have been obtained!
He's thinking about getting a piece of clothing!
A dress costs fifty copper coins!
As for why not make a contribution? Even go to Mao Sui to recommend himself, what kind of strategist or general?
Even if he is now relying on the identity of the side branch of the Lu family, people in Lujiang will not see him if they are too protective of Lu Kang!
No, even the government office of Shu County, he can't get in!
As for the rest, what I mastered before the crossing is not needed at all for the time being!
The reason is simple, he does not have any financial resources to buy raw materials.
Even if it's a gunpowder formula, he can't get it!
He didn't dare to take it!
I'm afraid that the people of this world will be clicked as a magic stick!
Just as Lu Yi and Uncle Geng were chatting, a man who was as thin as a monkey walked over and shouted loudly: "Our head of the family has received inside news that the imperial court is about to levy a wedding tax!" β
"Our Fang family bought a batch of women from bandits."
"If you want to marry a daughter-in-law, hurry up and go to Fang's house!"
"The price is cheap, and there is no bullying for children!"
"If you don't have money, our head of the family is willing to pay on credit depending on the situation!"
"Don't miss the opportunity!"
"It's only one day!"
When he came to Lu Yi's side, the man smiled and said, "Lu Lang, you are also unmarried, right?" You don't seem to be young! If you don't go, you'll be miserable! β
"Those who violate the law this year are said to be caught in the west to farm."
"You know what's going on in the west."
"Bandits appear from time to time, the court can't control it, the west is still close to Jingzhou, Jingzhou always sends troops to fight."
"The people sent to farm there are often no people alive or dead!"
Lu Yi secretly took a cool breath.
Truly.
If you are really caught and go to the west of the Lujiang River to farm, it is basically equivalent to going to death.
During this time, he lived in Lujiang, and he often heard that Jingzhou was going to call.
Although, I didn't call it.
As for giving credit to the Fang family-
Lu Yi sighed.
It's better to die than to live!
Thinking of this, Lu Yi said, "When will your Fang family do business?" β
The man smiled proudly: "In the morning, when will our family master wake up, when will it start!" You hurry over now, before it's too late, or you can pick a better woman! β
