Three hundred and forty-eighth chapter benevolent prince and prince (3)
The ox cart is not fast, and the road is not easy to walk on, so Xiong Daya and the others naturally won’t sit on it because it’s meaningless. If you sit on it, the ox cart will be slower.
The weeds on the road are very lush, which is strange. Whether it is drought or flood, the crops do not grow, but the weeds grow wildly.
The two of them walked on the road and didn't say anything for a long time.
When we arrived at an intersection, the bucket on the ox cart touched the sow lying in the middle, and the sow screamed, which caused several small wild boars around it to croak. They were all tied up by straw ropes, which was not very comfortable.
"Daya, do you think we should buy a cow too? Otherwise, what should we do if the land at home in autumn?" The skinny monkey's face was always bad. When he heard the pig crowing, he couldn't help asking. Although he really wanted to give his wife a hairpin, when he thought of the spring and autumn seasons of the family, he was holding the plow behind him when he was farming, and his wife was holding the plow in front like a cow. He felt a little sad. Although this thing is normal, he always wondered what if his wife had a child, would he let him pull it? But he didn't have the strength at all.
"Didn't you say you bought a hairpin for your wife? Why are you thinking about buying a cow again? If you buy a cow, you will be even more tired at that time." Xiong Daya held the reins in his hand. Although he only had one hand, he had enough strength and asked indifferently.
Raising cattle is not that easy. It is not just that it needs to be taken care of in summer, but even in winter. People nowadays cannot eat enough. What should you do when you make a cow? If you can't raise it well, it won't work. And does your family have enough grass? In the past, people thought that cattle were also considered family members, so when cows were working, they ate better than people, because they didn't eat well, and there was no way to work.
"This, hey." The skinny monkey thought about it and found that he had no way to get this done, because it was true. Tell me, what should you do to raise the cattle? There is no forage. If you raise the cattle to death, you will have to be fined. If you are just a family like this, if you are fined, your family will be destroyed.
The two stopped talking, but rushed to the market slowly.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong, who had just come out of the palace, looked at each other and smiled, then looked at each other with murderous aura, and said, "What should I do?"
"Since Your Majesty has agreed to this matter, let's send someone to find it. There are a few people in my family, but they probably don't want to go out, so they should find some who have returned to their hometown." There are some at Li Xiaogong's family, but those people say it's a tribute, and they should be considered servants at home. These people will never go out. What are the benefits of going out? There is no delicious food or delicious food, and everything else is in vain.
"Then go like this."
Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong came to Suiyuan again, and after discussing with Ye Bing and others, Xing Tian took people to find these people. It’s not that you are pitiful, I want you. In this world, it depends on your ability to eat. If you don’t have the ability, then I don’t have any extra food for you.
"Just like this little thing, you still want 500 people. What do you think?"
Xiong Daya and Shouhou didn't know what happened outside. They were being troubled by a few well-dressed people in the market. These people should be slaves from wealthy families nearby, because there is a carriage next to them. The carriage is very rough, but it is not something that ordinary people can own, because raising horses requires more money than raising cattle. If you don't have money, you are trying to survive if you don't have money.
If Xiong Daya and the others had to beat these people all over the ground, but there were not many people in the market today, so there were probably not many people who could actually pay for it.
The man who looked like the leader came over and asked, and seemed to want to buy it, so Xiong Daya opened his mouth and said, "Five Hundred Texts."
Five hundred cigars are indeed a lot, but a bucket of rice costs only a lot now, but if you sell it less, you will lose money.
"Mr., can you see this?"
The thin monkey took out the pair of fangs from his arms and handed them over, and asked flatteringly, "Mr., look at this, how about you?"
The man seemed to be very disdainful of people like him. Because the Tang Dynasty has now begun to focus on domestic construction, countless people in the army have been discharged, and then to reclaim land. To be honest, this type of person has been the most unlucky since ancient times. He asked you to die first during wars, and then after it was almost done, he asked you to discharge the army and go home to continue working. As for things like eating, people don’t care.
For these people who have almost nothing but a knife, there are almost few people who like it. Although the Tang Dynasty has the best military merits, the premise is that you must have such military merits. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
"What good thing do you have? That is, this meat is okay."
The man looked at it casually, but was stunned. He didn't expect that there were such good wild boar teeth here. Teeth was indeed symbolic in ancient times. Just like people in primitive society thought that eating a wild beast would lead to the power of the wild beast. They had this thing to decorate or customize swords as hilts. You have to say that although the ancients did not have as many resources as the people today, they could still bear fruit, which made you admire.
He grabbed the thing from the skinny monkey's hand, then looked up and down, and found that the pair of teeth were actually very complete. The ancients naturally liked complete. No matter what the incomplete thing was, it was not worth it.
"You?" the big man turned his eyes a few times, and then asked, but this movement was not very good, as if he wanted to stuff this thing into his arms.
"Uncle, this thing was taken off the face of the wild boar and planned to sell it." The skinny monkey continued to say flatteringly, but Xiong Daya saw something in the man's eyes: greed.
"Oh, I can't tell you that you have such skills. Tell me, how much do you want to sell?" The man had put the thing in his arms, so there was no reason to take it out. If the other party was tactful, then give him some money. If he was not tactful, he would beat him.
"One, one-month money." The sentence "Shouhou" was a little sad after saying it, because this thing is not just one-month money. If you meet someone who really needs it, two or three-month money will be less. However, this sentence fell into the man's ears and seemed to be extortion.
"What, the money you always have? You might as well grab it." The man said coldly, then took out three copper plates from his arms and threw them directly on the ox cart, "Take it."
"Three copper coins? Uncle, I won't sell them anymore." The skinny monkey said directly, not knowing whether he was angry or because of his shameless face.
"No more? Do you have anything to sell to me? What do I need you? This three cents depends on the reward you have worked hard here and what are you talking about?" The man was about to leave as he said, but he didn't have much time to talk nonsense to you here.
"You can't do this. I made this thing with great effort. You can't take it away." The skinny monkey said and rushed over, holding the man's sleeve, trying to grab the thing back. For such things, there are actually some modern places, especially when I was young, there will definitely be a lot. Anyway, the author has seen it. If you are obedient and are squeezed properly, there may be a way out. But if you don't obey, I will make you unlucky and you have no place to make any decision.
"Get out." The man's sleeves were quite long, but the quality was not very good. Because it was covered with a layer of silk on the outside of the coarse cloth. Although it was not much, it looked quite classy. When he shook the sleeves, he pushed the skinny monkey to the ground. Then he was about to go up and put on a kick, but he saw Xiong Daya standing in front of him and said, "If you bring the thing, we won't pursue it."
"You two untouchables dare to pursue me?" the man said disdainfully, then pointed to his sleeve and said, "Do you know how much this piece of silk cost? It was dirty. You may not be able to leave today. You things, including this cow, are left to me, otherwise, no matter how much I blame you for not giving you face."
"What?" Xiong Daya thought this world was really so weird? He was robbed, but he had to hand over the things to others, otherwise he would be unlucky. Thinking of this, he saw a man named Mayor. In fact, the mayor was temporary, that is, there was a market somewhere, and he was responsible for maintaining public order or charging a little tax. Of course, it was definitely not much, but it was definitely a fat man.
"Mayor Lin, look at his robbery of our things and ask us to compensate us. You must make the decision for us."
Xiong Daya, a man with a 1.9-meter-old man actually cried to a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks of only 1.6 meters, as if he felt endless grievances.
"What are you shouting? Someone died in the family?" Mayor Lin's words were a bit hurtful, but Xiong Daya didn't dare to say a word, otherwise he might be beaten.
After Mayor Lin came over and was about to speak, he saw the person who looked at him with an angry look and couldn't help but lit up, "It's Mr. Gui, why do you have time to come here today?"
The man named Master Gui looked at him disdainfully and said, "Who did I think it is? Lin Meng, you kid. Why? You have become a spirit now and become the mayor?"
"Hey, it's all the family members who help me, and I can't compare with your Master Gui. You are the worshipper of the Xu family now. I heard that life is so easy. How could you come to our remote place today? But if you have something to do? Don't worry, tell me directly that as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
The conversation between the two made Xiong Daya and Shouhou suddenly pale. People in the past focused on human feelings, but it was not just empty words. Many things can be done with human feelings, but there are no human feelings, and you can't do too many things. They know that, can the things they have here still be kept?
"Daya, this ox cart belongs to Fengdao's family, not ours."
The skinny monkey said tremblingly, those wild boars and other things were all obtained for nothing. Even if they were robbed, it would be fine. At worst, life would be almost done. However, this ox cart is not his own. If it is really taken away by someone, he might be over when he goes back. Although Feng Dao is a stingy person, his wife is, but Feng Dao's knife is really powerful and he will have to fight with him at that time.
"I dare to come to your place. Look, in a while, someone came to rob me and pulled off my sleeves. I didn't want to pay the money, but I had to beat me. I think that, the mayor here is almost done. It's so chaotic. How can the people dare to come here in the future? Wouldn't they all run away?"
"What, they dare to treat Master Gui like this." Lin Meng said furiously, then turned to look at the two of them and said, "You are so brave. Do you think I can't control you anymore?"
"Ah?" Shouhou and Xiong Daya looked at each other. There is a word in this world called "Unfortunate" that may be now. They are blackmailed by others, but they seem to be in trouble.
"Mayor, we don't, we don't. He robbed our wild boar teeth and didn't give them money. We asked him to ask him, and he was leaving, so he pulled him up. You really didn't rob." The thin monkey shouted and shouted. Had his luck been used up, how could it be so bad?
"What is Mr. Gui's identity? How could he rob your things? You must be seeing Mr. Gui's wealth and plan to rob him. I think you should all be from the military village. You damn Qiu Ba, if your Majesty is not kind, you all should go to hell. I didn't expect that after returning home, they would not farm honestly and dare to come out to rob. Do you really think there is no king here?" Lin Meng stared at the boss with rat eyes, as if he was about to stare the two of them to death. At the same time, a stick in his hand directly hit the skinny monkey's arm, and a blood mark immediately appeared. The skinny monkey almost jumped up in pain.
"No, Mayor Lin, it was really not our robber. He had the wild boar teeth in his arms, it was ours, it was ours. Look, we still have the head of the wild boar here. It could not have been robbed by us." Although the skinny monkey felt uncomfortable with his arm, he still kept explaining.
Unfortunately, when someone intends to cheat you, your explanation is just a joke in others' eyes.
"You still dare to argue. Do you really think that there is no law in the Tang Dynasty?" Lin Meng said coldly, pointing the stick in his hand at the other party and said, "Hurry up and apologize to Master Gui, and then compensate others for the things. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking you to see the official."
Sometimes things like seeing officials are very irrelevant and the people are afraid of it. It is like when you are asked to go to the police station now, unless you have to, few people are willing to go. Lin Meng is not qualified to meet officials at all. Who do he think he is.
