Chapter 189: Farmers rob the road

Early the next morning, Xiaohu went to the city early in the morning and called a carriage, which was still a very luxurious carriage, and it was estimated that it was not cheap.

Fang Yi took Rou Xuemei and Xiaohu into the carriage and set off towards the capital together.

Now there is nothing to do with the canal in the section of Yongkang County, and the money that should be taken has also been taken, just wait to see if the Longxian County Order can win other canal engineering tasks.

On a wide official road, the two horses pulled a luxury carriage side by side, and the whip in the old coachman's hand sometimes fell on the horse's buttocks in front of him, the speed was even and thin, not shaking or slowing, and I thought that the old coachman was also a veteran of the carriage.

"Big brother, the house in the capital is not cheap, which one do you want to buy?"

Xiaohu looked excited, he didn't have a home, the father in his mouth before also died a few years ago, he was an orphan, so he was still very excited to hear the word home.

"The kind with a patio, well, it's just right to buy a two-in. ”

Fang Yi's needs are not big, as long as he can live with people, Rou Xuemei on the side snuggled up to him, her face was full of happiness.

After hearing this, Xiaohu's face showed excitement: "The courtyard of the two entrances, that's not small, if it's in a better part of the capital, it is estimated that it will cost at least a few thousand copper coins!"

"Thousands?"

Rou Xuemei was taken aback, obviously this price exceeded her expectations, and at the same time, she was also shocked by the housing prices in the capital.

Yongkang County is only more than 100 miles away from the capital, and the best passage, even if it is the courtyard of Sanjin, is only a few hundred at most, and the capital has one more zero!

Fang Yi smiled indifferently on the side: "It's only a few thousand, Xiaohu, don't you know that the eldest brother is a rich man now?

"That's right. ”

Xiaohu suddenly, he saw with his own eyes that the Long County Order gave Fang Yi a silver ticket of 25,000 taels, in Dahua in this world. One copper plate is almost equal to one dollar, and it has always been a thousand copper plates.

And one tael of silver is equal to consistency, then if it is converted into the RMB of the earth's Huaxia, 25,000 taels of silver, that is 25 million!

Not a lot.

It is enough to buy a good three or four yards in the capital.

The three of them laughed and chatted all the way, and the old coachman who was sitting behind the horse's butt outside. I also feel that I have met a rich man this time, and if you serve well, it is possible to give a tael of silver!

Thinking of this, the old coachman's heart was full of excitement, and sure enough, he had to take out all the money to get a good carriage, so that the business could be good.

The four of them were all happy, but suddenly, the old coachman's face turned to the side. He tugged on the reins hard.

The speed suddenly stopped, and because of inertia, Fang Yi and the other three people in the carriage rushed forward in an instant, almost hitting their faces.

"Old coachman, what are you doing? Aren't you walking well?"

Xiaohu said dissatisfiedly, and then lifted the carriage curtain and poked his head out to look, but he was stunned.

"Big brother, a robber is coming. ”

Xiaohu swallowed hard. Rou Xuemei's body trembled when she heard this, and she couldn't do it with fear. Fang Yi smiled.

"Come, I'll see. ”

Poked his head out and looked, yo, this battle was not small, there were dozens of masked robbers in rows on the official road in front, each holding a different weapon in his hand. There are knives and swords, wood knives and hoes, and wooden sticks, stones, and so on.

The old coachman sat there in fright, and Xiaohu asked nervously, "Big brother, what should I do?"

"It's fine. Stay in the carriage and I'll meet you for a while. ”

With a jump, Fang Yi came to the official road and walked towards the dozens of people in front of him with a smile.

"Well, I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to hit here, stay"

"Leave the money. ”

Fang Yi directly took the bandit leader's words, walked up and asked, "What are you doing? ”

The leader of the bandits is a pockmarked man who is nearly two meters tall, and he can see it even if he covers half of his face.

When he heard Fang Yi take his words, he was stunned for a moment, and after listening to Fang Yi's words, he was stunned again: "You all know what we said, we are naturally here to rob." ”

"Robbery?"

Fang Yi carefully swept the robbers behind him with a smile, and from the weapons in their hands and the clothes on their bodies, it was not difficult to see that they were farmers from a nearby village.

It stands to reason that this place is not far from the capital, there will be no robbers, and the lives of the nearby farmers should not be to the point where they have to come out collectively to rob the road.

You know, this is already the boundary of the capital.

"We don't have any money. Fang Yi shook his head with a smile.

"No money?"

The bandit leader was stunned again, it was estimated that he was a stupid big man, he was so tall in white, and a thin boy next to him was shrewd, and he glanced at the carriage, and shouted with a sad and angry face: "You liar, you sit in such a luxurious carriage, you are embarrassed to say that you have no money?"

"Yes, you must have money. The stupid big man also reacted, and hurriedly took out his momentum.

Those in the back were also a sensation.

Fang Yi hadn't reached the level of pitying the people of the world for the emperor's old man, and he didn't ink at the moment, and said with a cold smile: "Which village are you farmers from, hurry back, the master's money, you are not so easy to get!"

When the words fell, the robbers were in a commotion, and Fang Yi revealed their identities with a single word, which was a blow to them for the first time to come out to rob the road.

"No, the mothers-in-law and children in our village have nothing to eat, and you have to come up with money today. ”

The stupid big man mustered up the courage to put on a fierce face, and a huge stick in his hand also waved fiercely.

"What is the matter with your village mother-in-law and baby who have no food to eat? What about your crops? Don't you plant them?"

An elderly man in the back stepped forward and sighed suddenly: "The official family opened the canal, and the land near our village has been occupied into a river head, and there is no land to plant, hey." ”

Fang Yi was stunned: "Then the official family didn't settle you?"

The stupid big man suddenly answered, and said in a loud voice: "Not only did they not settle us, but they still asked us to pay taxes, and now we can only come to rob the road." ”

So it was, Fang Yi instantly understood that this Great Huaguo was completely terminally ill.

Since you want to open the canal, but you don't do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath, you are also awesome, and you can do such a stupid thing.

Isn't this forcing the peasants to rebel?!

Looking at the lineup of these farmers again, as young as thirteen or fourteen years old, as old as fifty or sixty years old, Fang Yi even saw an old man with gray hair behind him.

I'm also drunk, forget it, they're still quite pitiful, although they won't pity the people of the world for the emperor Lao'er, but since they have met, then help these in front of me.
