Chapter six hundred and sixteen hearts
The servant, known as Qin'er, had a flushed face. She looked at the man with broken legs and was very pitiful. Then she gave some more money. In her mind, this person should have thanked him with excitement on his face, but she never expected that the man was talking ill-heartedly.<-" He held the silver in his hand and could not move forward or retreat.
"The servant is rude, we are wrong!" A clear voice came from behind. The young man who had been sitting there was not moving, walked over and bowed to the boss who had lost his legs.
"Forget it!" The boss waved his hand generously, "This is Jishi City, a place under the jurisdiction of the Gao governor. The rules are probably not much the same as those in other places. Today, the Gao governor won a big victory. I am happy and I won't care about you anymore. If it were the past, I would definitely knock this little guy out in a trap."
The young man smiled slightly, turned around, and reached out to the servant, "Twenty-month copper coins."
Qin'er's eyes were filled with tears, and it seemed that she was about to fall. She took out another twenty coins and handed them to the young master.
After taking the money, the young man neatly copied the twenty-month copper coins in front of the boss, nodded and smiled at him, turned around and walked out, and the two servants and two companions followed immediately.
The boss looked at their backs, but he was blinded.
There was a sound of horse hooves outside, and it was obvious that the five people had left, but the boss's eyes still had not been taken back, looking thoughtful.
"That young man was so beautiful just now!" The voice of a 'female' came from behind. The boss turned around and glanced at his wife, and smiled hey, "What kind of young man? He was a 'female' disguise. Those two companions were very skilled and full of murderous aura. Although they had tried their best to hide it, I crawled out of the sea of blood, but I couldn't hide it from me. I was unable to move. You can tell the village chief immediately and let him report to him that a few suspicious people have come."
"These people should not be bad people, right?" The woman obviously felt a little reluctant.
"No matter whether he is a bad person or not, he has to be careful of being sneaky. Besides, whether they are a bad person is a judgement. In the past, Tan Feng often went to the governor's camp. We watched him kiss the governor's camp like a good friend. He turned around and wanted to stab the governor. You should die quickly and say where to the village chief. Let the village chief tell the city chief that if he is a good person, he will not wrongly accuse them. If he is a bad person, hehe, then we will make a contribution." The boss said proudly.
"Young Master, you and Qin'er have just revealed several flaws. If the boss of the broken leg is a person with a heart, he will definitely find something abnormal." A companion on the running horse's hooves was parallel to the young master, and whispered, "It's better to be careful."
The young master smiled slightly, "Along the way, I have been careful. Now I have reached the core of the ruling of the Eastern Army. Naturally, I don't have to pay attention to everything. It's okay, even if they find it, it's nothing. Anyway, I'm going to find them."
The middle-aged companion was a little worried and slutty, "But young master, the past between the master and General Gao was not a good relationship, or even an enemy. This time, it was too risky. In fact, as your identity, ability and strength in your hands, you are all popular people in any country, so why bother to come to Jishi City?"
The young man held Ma Zhuon and turned to look at his wife. His face was slightly cold, "Where can you go? Zhao or Qin? Wei or Qi? Like Jing Rufeng, Jing Rufeng is now in Zhao State, but the people of Qin have even dug up his ancestral tomb. Jing Rufeng fled to Zhao State and hid for twenty years. No one has dig up his ancestral tomb in these twenty years."
The companion closed his mouth. The young master let out a long breath, radiated his horse's reins, and slowly moved forward, "Gao Yuan is the Yan people after all, and his army is also the Yan people's army."
"Young Master said yes!" The clerk nodded, "I was wrong."
"That man is so rude!" The servant called Qin'er rushed up and said dissatisfiedly: "I gave him more money. I was sorry for him, but I didn't want him to be ungrateful and even hurt others!"
"Qin'er, that's a retired soldier. His legs were probably not on the battlefield." The young man raised his head to the sky and came out for a while. "But it was in this Jishi City. Even in Jicheng, we can often see disabled and retired soldiers begging on the street, living like wild dogs on the street. No wonder the East Army of the Conquest has such combat effectiveness. Gao Yuan actually took care of the retired soldiers so well. Judging from their appearance, they all support themselves. The lame "leg" who came in before is the same."
"I'm surprised that they all have knives on their waists!" Fandang shook his head and said, "This is Jishi City, and it is also the core of Gao Yuan's current rule. Aren't he afraid of these people rebelling with knives?"
"Will they rebel?" the young master shook his head and said, "As they said, don't you feel it yet? Those young people are proud of participating in the Eastern Army."
"There are indeed too many things that I can't understand." The clan nodded.
"Let's go, go to Jishi City, where, maybe we can find the answer." The young master accelerated his pace of progress.
The five people walked forward but couldn't walk far, but they saw the lame man who had left before. The young man pulled the reins and slowed down and walked with them. He turned to look at the lame man, clasped his fists and smiled: "Uncle, has the harvest this year been good?"
He Dayou smiled and said, "This guy, my name is He Dayou, the village chief of Baiyang Village. Are you from another place? You are so handsome."
The young man blushed with shame when he said this. It was nothing to praise a "female" boy, but now he is dressed up as a man, and praises him as a handsome man is worth thinking about.
"The harvest this year is good!" The young man changed the topic and looked at his truckloads of food behind him.
"Yes, yes, I'm thankful for the governor. This year's weather is good. The fields in the past two years have increased this year. Of course it's good, and it will be better next year." He Dayou smiled and looked at the truck of grain.
"Is this going to send it to the city to 'pay' public grain?"
"No, this is going to sell. We Jishi City, but there is no such thing as 'paying' public grain. We bought it with money for the expedition to the East Mansion."
"So that's the case. If you don't pay public grain, then the taxes in Jishi City must be not low, right?"
"Tax? There is no tax!" He Dayou said: "We are all retired soldiers, and we don't have to pay taxes on food fields. The reclaimed deserted fields are exempt from three years of tax."
“Where is the poll tax?”
"There is a cap tax, each person costs fifty cents a year!" He Dayou smiled.
"So low?"
"My brother also said it's low, yes, when I borrowed it, the tax was so heavy. In addition to the numerous taxes, the officials also tried to collect money in different ways. They could not survive before they could get soldiers. I was lucky. Later, I followed General Gao. I really didn't expect that there would be such a good life now. My wife and children had a warm bed, and I had 'meat' to eat and drink wine. This life is worth it!" He Dayou laughed.
"How much is the grain price in Jishi City now?"
He Dayou smiled and reported a number. The young master was stunned. The two companions around him were also a little stunned. "Uncle, the price of grain in Jishi City is so low. We come from outside. The price of grain outside is several times that here. There are also caravans coming in to collect grain. Why don't you sell the grain to those merchants? This is a price of several times!"
"I won't sell it to them!" He Dayou shook his head, "Let's sell it to Zhengdong Mansion."
"What's the reason?" The middle-aged companion looked at He Dayou in confusion, as if he was looking at an idiot, "Can you make more money but not?"
"Brother, you don't understand Luo!" He Dayou laughed and said, "Who gave us such a good day now? General Gao, what is General Gao doing now? When fighting with the Donghu people, the war naturally has to be consumed and we have to ask for money and grain. We can't follow General Gao to the battlefield, but we have to do something. The price of collecting grain for the East Prefecture is low, but this grain must be sent to the front line. Those grain merchants from other places don't understand, so they come to us to collect grain at a high price. It would be strange if they can receive it! How many people in and outside the Jishi City, inside and outside, have not been given the general's grace, so they will not sell the grain to them."
"But I saw Sihai Trading put the grain to take out!" The young man tilted his head, "Why give them money to earn?"
"Young man doesn't know. Sihai Trading also sells food for takeout, but they make that money, and in the end they use it in our Jishi City. Look at us walking now, there are ditches in the fields, and even further places to resettle houses, livestock, and farm tools for refugees. But all the money paid by Sihai Trading. The teacher in our village said that this is called taking from the people and using it for the people. Each of us makes a little money, but we hide it and can't do anything, but Sihai Trading can gather these small money together, which becomes big money and can do a lot of things!"
After hearing He Dayou's words, the young man was silent for a while and whispered, "People's hearts, people's hearts!"
"What did you say?" He Dayou asked.
"Nothing is nothing!" The young man waved his hand, "Just heard these little brothers say they were going to join the army. I see, the little brothers are agile, why are they beaten back?"
He Dayou laughed, "I am less than the age, if I want to join the East Army, I must be at least 16 years old and I have to stay in the training camp for two years. They lied about their age and wanted to "miss" and "miss" to pass the test, but they didn't think about it. This is Jishi City, and there are cases to be investigated one by one. How can they "miss" them?"
"I'll be sixteen next year!" Behind He Dayou, a young man yelled, "I can go to join the army."
