The guard shook his head vigorously, "Miss Su, we adults abide by the law. In fact, the court has a certain amount of money at your own disposal every year, but you basically use our snake gallbladder, fruits, herbs and the like to exchange for food.
, but I have never sold private salt. We have long-term cooperation with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. They have a lot of grain, and we have a lot of fruits, medicinal materials, pearls, and seafood. In good years, our things are much more valuable."
Su Mo smiled. In that case, why are some places so desolate and sparsely populated?
Although the soil here is said to be poor, it is not actually that barren. If properly developed, food can still be grown.
With that desolate land, people near Haizhu are basically cut off from the outside world, and they can only travel through government offices or sea ships.
Of course, it was Deng Yongzhong who had the final say.
She snorted softly. He knew how to plan. Although he was a small city lord, he was probably more comfortable than the emperor on weekdays.
The room has been tidied up. Due to the humidity at the seaside, the first floor is basically unoccupied or occupied by servants. The second floor is where the owner lives.
The room is clean and tidy, and the bedding is brand new and sun-dried, smelling of sea breeze and sunshine.
There was still incense burning in the room. Although the smell was a bit unpleasant, it was said to be used to repel poisonous insects. It was also very expensive, and Deng Yongzhong himself was reluctant to order it.
The guard smiled and said: "Here here, it is common for us to sometimes pull a poisonous insect from our neck while sleeping in the middle of the night. It scares us to death at first, but then we get used to it, so we throw it away and go back to sleep."
Su Mo smiled and said nothing.
This is to inoculate yourself. Don't make a fuss and blame Deng Yongzhong and others when poisonous insects appear.
They even say that if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, it is no wonder that they did not take good care of you. Who asked you to come?
She raised her eyebrows, looked around the rooms, and then gave Lan Ruo a wink.
Lan Ruo naturally knew, and Liuhuo Ali and others had carefully inspected it.
Sure enough, several venomous snakes could be found from under the bed, in the corners of cabinets, in the beams and other places.
Such a neat queue didn't look like a poisonous snake crawling over by itself. Someone must have arranged it that way on purpose.
This Deng Yongzhong is really vicious and cunning. He got some poisonous snakes but did not take responsibility. If they don't let him rest assured, or there are some tasks he doesn't like and they don't listen to his advice, then they will probably let the poisonous snakes go.
Let's fix them.
Either because he was afraid and the imperial envoys ran away, or because they died, he was freed.
He has no responsibility on the surface, and the court will not punish him.
What a good calculation.
Unfortunately, he made a miscalculation when he met her.
Lan Ruo deliberately picked up a thin piece of bamboo leaf and threw it at the foot of the guard, "This poison is actually hidden in the room. Fortunately, we checked it carefully, otherwise it wouldn't have shocked it."
The officer's expression changed. He lowered his head and looked at the snake. It was already on the verge of death. It was twisted by seven inches. It looked like its bones had been dislocated. It was not dead yet. It was struggling on the ground.
He raised his head and changed his face, "Girl, you are so skillful. If everyone here can reach out like this, we won't be afraid of poisonous snakes."
Su Mo said lightly: "You are not afraid to begin with. We don't dare to pull them off our necks in the middle of the night. We can only keep them away."
