85_85978He Lang was speechless, only feeling that he was suspected of playing the piano to the cow, and he didn't know how to answer the words of the Taoist priest.

The seventh girl said lightly: "Hantan is located in the Dade Holy Dynasty, on the Tianshan Mountain near Huaishui, it is a big forbidden place, and it is rumored that there is a dragon hidden in it, and it is often stormy. Because it is contaminated with the breath of the dragon, the fish and shrimp in the cold pool are the most supplemental, and they are also the most difficult to catch, and they are the rarest ingredients of the Dade Holy Dynasty. ”

"Jiaolong?" Qin Xianyu often saw records in books, but he had never heard of such a thing.

"Although it is a rumor, the rumor is true, there is indeed a demon Jiao in the cold pool. The seventh girl said: "This demon Jiao is good at making waves, and his Taoism is extremely high, and it is said that he can be compared to a real person at the peak of the dragon and tiger." According to Mr. Yuan Shoufeng, the Qintianjian Supervisor, if there is no change, within 30 years, this Jiao will be 1,000 years old and can turn into a dragon and soar. ”

Qin Xianyu could hear it, it seemed that this kind of thing had only been seen in books before, and it was all made up. Today, I learned from the mouth of the seventh girl that the Hantan Jiaolong really existed, and I couldn't help but be fascinated.

"The fish, shrimp, turtles and turtles in the cold pool are all contaminated with the breath of dragons, which is different from the ordinary. The Seven Girls continued: "Among them, the spotted horned fish is descended from the dragon's blood, and its body size is large and small, as big as a chariot and horse, and as small as a palm. Because the scales of the spotted fish are as solid as iron, the skin of the fish is flexible, and the meat is a great supplement, it is the most famous treasure in the cold pool. ”

"In the army of the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty, there are generals who wear armor made of spotted fish scale armor, and the inside is soft armor made of fish skin, which is much more effective than ordinary armor. ”

The Seventh Maiden looked at the skin of the fish on the table and said, "The skin of the spotted fish is many times more flexible than the skin of cowhide, and it takes many processes to use it as an ingredient. However, it is very luxurious to use a set of high-quality materials of soft armor as food. ”

Qin Xianyu was able to solve his doubts.

He Lang listened very unpleasantly, why did he become the seventh senior sister and this little Taoist priest talking about the Hantan Jiaolong for no reason, as if they were discussing the Tao and solving puzzles?

The situation he finally created was about to lose the face of this little Taoist priest, how could he give it up?

He Lang coughed and said, "Hantan is the forbidden place of the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty, and this spotted fish is extremely rare and can be called a treasure. It's those eggs, which are more common in this half of the table, but they are not something that ordinary people can see. ”

Qin Xianyu's eyes turned indifferent, and said: "As far as Xiaodao knows, there are people who slaughter sheep and dogs, and when the meat is stewed, if an egg is put in, then the nutrients in the meat will be absorbed by the eggs." If a neighbor kills a dog for food, if he puts an egg in it, he should pay half of the price for the dog meat. Could it be something similar?"

He Lang said with a smile: "Exactly, it's just that the Taoist chief doesn't know that this time it is not a domestic dog and a fat sheep, but hundreds of divine horses transported by the Chu State outside the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty." Just an egg should have a price of tens of taels, which is comparable to the use of ordinary people for several years, as for those poor families, hey, even more than ten years may not be able to earn decades of silver. ”

Speaking of this, he said with a smile: "The Taoist chief takes advantage of this banquet, he doesn't have to pay, he should eat some quickly, so as not to regret it after leaving." Of course, if you want to accompany me to say a few more words, consume some body, so that you can eat more, then I should also accompany me. ”

He Lang did not hide his voice, and almost everyone heard this.

Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud right now.

What Brother He said was exact. Qin Xianyu said: "Dozens of taels of silver, for those who collect firewood, catch fish, weave baskets, and sell noodles, it is an unimaginable amount of money." Not to mention the daily living expenses, even if you don't eat or drink, you may not be able to save half a lifetime. ”

Qin Xianyu raised his chopsticks, pinched one, and bit the bottom half, only to feel that his mouth was full of fragrance, and the taste was very smooth. Deng Shi laughed and said, "It's really excellent." ”

When He Lang saw that he had eaten half of it, he immediately sneered, and was about to make another mockery.

But I heard Qin Xianyu ask: "Brother He is a disciple of Qin Tianjian, but he received the imperial court?"

He Lang didn't know what he meant, but he was not afraid, and replied casually: "Although Qin Tianjian is extraordinary, after all, he is the protection of the imperial court, and he should lead the imperial court. ”

"Yes, Imperial Court. Qin Xianyu chuckled: "Where did the imperial court come from?"

He Lang was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer.

The seventh girl smiled and waited quietly for the next word.

"Isn't it from the treasury that the imperial court is paying taxes?"

"But where does the tax money come from?"

"It was taken from the people. ”

Qin Xianyu looked at He Lang and said, "The Great Virtue Holy Dynasty is more generous than other countries, and only half of the tax is charged. But how can this half of the tax ever be less? For every ten pieces of silver earned, five should be paid, and the remaining five can barely support their families, and some of those who earn less die of hunger and cold.

"But where is the money spent?"

"The taxes and silver were handed over to the state treasury, palaces were repaired, scenery was built, chariots and horses were built, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries were squandered wantonly, and they were given money to officials from all sides, but there were also many corrupt and perverted the law. Regardless of him, just say that this table full of wine and food is a huge amount of money that ordinary people can't imagine in their lifetime. ”

Qin Xianyu stood up, patted He Lang lightly on the shoulder, and said: "Brother He leads the court and spends the people's taxes and silver, but he still commends these parents with the word poor and cheap, and he is really a noble person. ”

He Lang's face turned red, and he was ashamed and angry.

Rao was full of cultivators present, who felt that they were all otherworldly, but they couldn't help but be silent.

Xu Liang sighed lowly, and only said: "Gao Zhi." ”

Qin Xianyu looked at He Lang, his face was full of seriousness, and said: "Although Brother He and Xiaodao have never known each other before, but if you think about it carefully, we have a lot of relationships. ”

He Lang gritted his teeth and said, "Who has anything to do with you?"

But that's not true. Qin Xianyu said: "Although Xiaodao doesn't have any business to make a living, Xiaodao has paid for food and clothing on weekdays. You also know that when the imperial court collects tax silver, the cost of the store will be higher, so it is natural to raise the price a little bit to make money. With such careful calculations, Xiaodao buys a bun and changes clothes on weekdays, and it is inevitable that there will be a shadow of taxation. ”

He Lang was not all ignorant, he had already heard the meaning of Qin Xianyu's words.

This Taoist priest claimed to have paid for food and clothing every day, spent money, that is, he had a share of the imperial court's tax money. So doesn't he also have his share of the money issued by the imperial court?

The seventh girl was even more secretly funny, and chuckled.

The implication of this little Taoist priest is that he is He Lang's food and clothing parents, but He Lang takes his money and spends it indiscriminately.

He Lang was annoyed and ashamed, took a step back, and broke free of Qin Xianyu's palm on him.

"An egg can be compared to the average family for several years, and it can be compared to the living capacity of the poor for decades. The cost of a table of wine and food here is a huge amount of money that many families can hardly imagine in their lifetime. ”

"If it is exchanged for silver taels and distributed out, I don't know how many poor families can be saved?"

Qin Xianyu sighed as if talking to himself: "As the saying goes, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. ”

"But how many people can remember, where did the silver taels spent on wine and meat come from? Like Brother He, who is called poor and cheap, full of contempt and disdain, have you ever remembered that the money you receive, the expenses you spend on weekdays, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, are not all the hard-earned money taken from the people?"

His voice was flat, and he said it slowly, without the slightest hint of excitement, but he finally made He Lang speechless.

After a long time, He Langcai said with a blushing face: "I work for the imperial court, and I receive the imperial court's money, not some bullshit tax silver." Besides, although there is food and drink, where does the word prostitution and gambling come from?"

Qin Xianyu sighed and said, "Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, it's just a smooth statement, don't care too much about these details." ”

"The Taoist said it very well. ”

Young Master Shang suddenly got up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "It's just that this wine banquet is set up by my Shang Yang Valley." I am not a person from the imperial court, I don't eat a lot of money, and the cost of this banquet is only the cost of Shangyang Valley. ”

"The wool always comes out of the sheep. Qin Xianyu chuckled, didn't say much, raised his chopsticks, ate the half egg in two bites, and praised: "It really tastes excellent." ”

With that, he took out dozens of taels of silver from his bosom and threw them on the ground.

"Since I ate your egg, I will pay you back dozens of taels of silver. ”

Qin Xianyu laughed out loud and walked out.

He Lang gritted his teeth and said, "It's so humiliating to me, you want to leave?"

Qin Xianyu turned his head and asked, "Brother He, isn't it because he thinks that he is not enough, and he wants Xiaodao to raise taxes?"

He Lang's face turned red.

Over there, Young Master Shang's face was ugly, and he made a look, and immediately a master of internal strength stepped forward to stop him.

The guard shouted: "Bold Daoist, so rude, come to my Shangyang Valley wine banquet to sprinkle, do you still want to leave lightly?"

The words fell, and they had already rushed towards Qin Xianyu.

That martial arts master already has eight inches of internal strength, and with martial arts alone, he can compete with the pinnacle of nine inches of true qi.

In He Lang's opinion, this young Taoist priest has a slight temperament, but after all, he is not very famous, he should be similar to himself, just cultivating a sense of qi.

However, in the eyes of Xu Liang, Shang Shaozhu and others, this young Taoist priest has true qi fluctuations, and he should be successful in cultivation and condense his true qi. But the young master of Shang is only the beginning of true qi, and the little Taoist priest seems to be a few years younger than the young master of Shang, and at most he is just beginning to become true qi.

It's just that the evil characters, after the condensation of the true qi, have some visions, and Qin Xianyu's own congenital mixed ancestral qi is more specific, and there is no change in the evil qi, so there is no vision to appear. In addition, Qin Xianyu is not very old, he is only a teenager, so no one thinks that he has a good cultivation.

When the eight-inch guard pounced, everyone thought that he could only be caught lightly.

However, Qin Xianyu only waved his hand.

Out of thin air, a strong wind rose.

The master of internal strength threw himself into the air, and was suddenly blown back by the wind.

"True Qi Release?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, especially He Lang and Young Master Shang were the most surprised.

He Lang froze in place.

Young Master Shang's face was even more gloomy, and he twitched faintly, thinking that he was under twenty years old, and it was already rare to cultivate true qi. But I don't want a young Taoist priest to come out of nowhere, but he is actually a true qi release, which is enough to be listed in the top 30 of the outstanding list.

Even if he is the young master of Shangyang Valley, if there is no accident, only after he is over fifty years old, can he be expected to release his true qi.

But who is that little Taoist?

Xu Liang was struck by lightning, and only muttered to himself: "True Qi is released? No, if you can blow away an eight-inch inner strength master in one fell swoop, how wild is this wind, and you definitely don't just practice Qi cultivation! At least it beats me, who is this Taoist priest?"

Qin Xianyu glanced at everyone, showed an apologetic look at the seventh girl, and then laughed out loud and walked out the door.

The breeze is blowing all the way, and the robes are flying.

The laughter was endless.

There is a fresh breeze, blowing all over the crane cloud tower.
