"Master, where should we go next?" Song Yan asked.
Looking at the sky, it was still early, and found a small teahouse not far away. Yunjing said: "Come on, let's go sit there."
It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Yunjing decided to develop the 'bounty mission' business on his own. He did not intend to do it as a long-term career. Anyway, he just wanted to make a profit. If it didn't work out, he wouldn't worry about it.
Just think of other ways.
As long as you use your brain, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Song Yan was very qualified as a 'life assistant'. Yunjing said he wanted to sit in a teahouse, so he took the lead and ran over to make arrangements.
He asked the store for a pot of the cheapest tea and a plate of melon seeds, which cost less than ten coppers in total...
After getting along with Yunjing during this time, Song Yan has become familiar with Yunjing's character. Regarding daily life, he rarely sees Yunjing being extravagant and wasteful, but he is not ambiguous when it is time to spend money.
After all, Niujiao Town is a small place, and the teahouse Yunjing went to is also a small teahouse, but there is no storyteller. People can't make money here, so naturally they won't come here, and the boss is reluctant to spend money to hire a storyteller.
Sitting by the window of the teahouse, drinking cheap tea and cracking melon seeds, it was quite leisurely.
Yunjing came here not just to kill time because he was bored, but because he was 'looking for a market'.
With his eyes slightly closed, Yun Jing looked like he was considering the problem, but his mental power was released silently.
His first target was the notice wall outside Niujiao Town.
At the beginning, Yunjing asked his father why there was no paper notice posted on the notice wall. It turned out that it was because the government was afraid of people stealing the paper...
As a place where the government announces news, it naturally contains all kinds of information. Yunjing felt that if he wanted to take on the 'bounty mission', and there was no special channel, this was the right place to start.
Yunjing's mental power extended there, and he was slightly stunned as he browsed the information on the notice wall.
So messy?
There are hundreds of messages on the notice wall, and there are all kinds of messages. A small part of them are government announcements, and most of them are written by private citizens.
Um, if you write personal information, the government won’t care about it...
Yunjing first browsed the government announcements, which contained information about border wars, the latest regulations promulgated by the dynasty, arrest warrants for important criminals, and notices for providing clues for a fee.
There are two pieces of information about the border war. One is that the war is now stalemate and the border is not peaceful. It is advising people not to go to any place unless necessary. This is nonsense. People from a small place like Niujiao Town will run to the border if they have nothing to do.
Go? Second, the dynasty sent an additional 300,000 troops to the front line, organized several attacks, and achieved many results.
Regarding the war, there was not much information. Yun Jing could tell at a glance that this was reporting good news rather than bad news, but he also understood that the dynasty also wanted to maintain civil stability, so it was naturally impossible to announce the truth.
As for the new regulations of the dynasty, there is only one, which is closely related to the hundreds of millions of farmers in the entire dynasty, regarding taxation!
After the farmyard fertilizer was brought up by Li Qiu, this issue has been debated in the court, but now there is finally a result.
The news is neither good nor too bad.
Over the years, with the popularization of farmyard fertilizer, farmers' harvests have been 30% more than before. The new tax rate of the dynasty has naturally been increased. The increase is not too outrageous. The tax farmers have to pay is only
It's only 20% more than before.
In other words, the farmers of the Dali Dynasty have not yet been able to enjoy the benefits of farmyard manure, and the burden on their shoulders has become heavier again, but they are better than before. After all, after paying the tax, the food is still better than before.
many.
However, this is not how the accounts are calculated. After all, not every farmer has enough farmyard fertilizer, and in the past, without farmyard fertilizer, there was a lot less work. Now that the dynasty has done this, on average, in fact,
No different than before!
Regarding this new tax rate, Yunjing was not too surprised. It was expected. In fact, now that we are at war, the dynasty has done its utmost to be benevolent by not increasing taxes.
But in the end it is the farmers who suffer.
Seeing this regulation, Yun Jing wanted to complain. The farmers finally had some hope, but they were knocked back to their original shape. This country should just be destroyed...
Complaints are complaints, but the order has been issued and it is a foregone conclusion.
Niujiao Town, as a 'grain source town', does not need to pay taxes, so the new tax law of the dynasty will not affect it here, but this does not make Yunjing happy at all, but makes it very confusing.
Originally, he was still thinking about ways to increase grain production, but the Dali Dynasty's actions stopped his thoughts. No matter how he tried to increase grain production, the court would still benefit in the end. No matter how high the output was, in the end,
They will all be taken away by the court in every possible way. The farmers will always suffer, so why not give them a hammer?
Whether this is good or bad now, let him maintain it.
At least until his ability is enough to influence tax laws in the future, Yunjing doesn't want to make wedding clothes for the Dali Dynasty in vain, because no matter how he does it, the benefits will not fall on the people, so why bother.
Skip this and go to Yunjing to read about the wanted poster.
A total of five wanted warrants!
The first one is to catch the flower picker. This wanted order was issued by Xinlin County. The flower picker committed crimes in the county. More than ten girls and daughters-in-law were killed. Now I don’t know where they are. If anyone provides clues, the government will
There will be a reward of ten taels of silver. If caught, a one-time reward of fifty taels will be given. This is the small part, and the big part is the thank you money for those who were killed. It adds up to six hundred taels. You can imagine how much the victims’ families hate them.
Flower picking is a thief.
The second one is a wanted murderer. He is not a gangster, but a farmer. Because of the separation of the family, the elder brother felt that it was unfair for the elders to separate the family, so he stabbed all three brothers to death in a fit of anger. Now he doesn't know how to hide.
Somewhere, the reward for this man is twenty taels. He is hateful but worthless.
From Article 3 to Article 5, it is no longer an individual who is wanted, but a gang. Now on the official road leading to the outside world in Niujiao Town, there are three waves of evil bandits blocking the road and robbing the road. They are ruthless in killing and stealing, and there are many victims.
These three waves of gangsters range from five to six to ten or twenty, and most of them have practiced martial arts. They fight guerrillas with the government. They hide when they go to exterminate them, and then come out to commit crimes again. It is a headache. Nowadays, there are not a hundred of them.
People are afraid to go out of Niujiao Town because of the strong team of people, so the government hopes that people with lofty ideals can kill them. The bounty is very high, ranging from as little as 200 taels to as much as 800 taels!
Yunjing was very suspicious that such a high bounty was definitely paid by the victims. It was estimated that the government was reluctant to spend so much money to suppress the bandits. After all, it was not that the government did nothing, they just ran away. It was not that they were inactive.
.
I don’t know if anyone has answered these wanted notices.
As for those robbers who blocked the road, Yun Jing secretly wondered why they didn't meet the teachers and students who went to the county town to take the exam. If they did, they would probably be doomed.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Bolin and Zhou Jintai went to the county imperial examination this year and failed again, which was a huge blow to them. During this time, they were studying hard and had very little time to play with Yunjing.
This time, the dozens of students who took the exam at Niujiao Town School did not come back with nothing. This year, two students passed the exam, both of whom were unfamiliar with Yunjing. If nothing else, they will have two more classmates next semester.
We studied together.
Regarding the matter of failing the examination, Zhou Jintai said that he would take time to study while eating. Wang Bolin said that he would never look at the little emperor uncle again and would work hard for the imperial examination.
Yunjing didn't even bother to persuade them. They had said these words countless times. Have they changed them?
If they continue like this, whether they will be able to pass the exam or not will be a matter of course...
The last announcement about the government providing paid clues is all trivial matters. Someone's cow is lost, someone's child is lost. The government needs the public to provide clues to solve the case. This kind of thing needs to be solved long ago, otherwise it will be solved.
No announcement will be made.
However, these "trivial things" are undoubtedly as big as the sky falling to the people who have them.
But in this world, similar things happen all the time...
Then on the notice wall, there are various messages written spontaneously by the people. Some people need to be admitted to a nursing home, some people need to rent out their houses, some people have their family members kidnapped and need to be rescued, some people want to buy precious medicinal materials, and
If something is lost, you need help finding it.
I don't know who was stupid enough to write on the notice wall, "Liu Ting, I like you"...
In short, the information on the notice wall is very messy, but there are no "non-mainstream" graffiti on it.
There is still a lot of information on it that is 'valuable' to Yunjing, but some things are very troublesome, such as tracking down the flower-picking thief. Who knows where the person is, and he doesn't even know what he looks like, so how can he check it?
Some of them have to bear risks, such as suppressing bandits. God knows how many gangs they have, and whether they have colluded with the government. These situations are not clear, and the consequences are endless. Besides, Yunjing doesn’t have that much energy to suppress bandits. God knows how they committed crimes.
How far is the place from Niujiao Town?
However, it is not troublesome, and there is no need to bear risks. The benefits are small, the gain is not worth the loss, and it is a waste of time. With that time, Yunjing goes hunting for a big insect, or finds a few nests of honey, and everything comes back.
To be honest, Yunjing really didn't know that there were so many things around him before he paid attention to the notice wall.
Yun Jing took the information on the notice wall to heart. If something happened to happen to him, he wouldn't mind doing it even if he had little money.
Finally, there were three things he felt it was necessary to try, but whether he would do them or not would depend on his mood.
First, the Liu family in the town invested one hundred and eighty taels to buy a century-old ginseng. The time is within half a month. It will not be needed after that time. It is estimated that it is for life-saving purposes. The second is that someone was in Baishui outside Niujiao Town.
When I was traveling in Bay, I lost a precious jade pendant. The other party offered me 200 taels in the hope that someone could help find it. The person emphasized that the jade pendant itself was not worth that much money. It was an ancestral inheritance and had special significance. Whoever finds it must pay attention to it.
Help return it. The third is that someone has lost a dog. It is black, a cross between a wolf and a wolf. It is very ferocious. The other party wants someone to help find it, but it is best to have some skills, otherwise the other party will not be responsible for the injury, just to find a dog.
, the other party was actually willing to spend one hundred and fifty taels, Yunjing couldn't help but complain, is that your biological son?
Tsk, well, Yunjing doesn’t have any special channels after all, so we can only learn this from the notice wall.
"If you complete those three bounty tasks, you will have enough money to open a store. You should pay more attention to it. If it doesn't work, go into the mountains..."
Yunjing was about to withdraw his 'eyes', but he was told that an inconspicuous corner of the wall attracted his attention.
In the lower left corner of the notice wall, there is a strange symbol, which looks like a child's scribblings. It is very inconspicuous.
The reason why I noticed that strange symbol was that it looked fresh. It was not written with ink but carved with a sharp tool. The other reason was that it gave Yun Jing a vague sense of familiarity.
It feels like this, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen it for a while.
Yunjing felt a little curious about this strange phenomenon.
"I have a photographic memory. If I have seen it somewhere, I will never forget it. I can't remember it now, but the symbol gives me a familiar feeling..."
Thoughts flickered, Yun Jing quickly thought about the information about the symbol in his mind.
After a moment, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He understood why that symbol gave him a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Because he had never seen that symbol, it was strange that he could remember it. He had only seen the description of that symbol.
"That is not a symbol, but a kind of writing, which does not belong to the Dali Dynasty!"
Why does a text that does not belong to the Dali Dynasty appear on the notice wall in Niujiao Town?
Carefully recalling the symbolic description in his mind, Yunjing remembered that he had seen it in a book at his master's house. After recalling it, his frown deepened.
Because that writing is actually a unique writing belonging to the Dajiang Dynasty!
Is it a coincidence or someone did it on purpose?
I wouldn't believe it if it was just a coincidence. But if someone did it deliberately, it would be a bit unjustifiable to write the words of Dajiang Dynasty on it so openly without any cover-up.
"Let's see what it means first..."
While Yunjing was observing the strange writing, he went to browse the comparative dictionary about the writings of the Dajiang Dynasty in his master's study room.
There are many countries in this world, and each country has its own common writing and language. If you simply master one language and think you can truly travel the world, that would be a big mistake!
As far as Yunjing knows, each of the 'diplomats' of the Dali Dynasty must master at least three different languages before they are qualified to serve. Therefore, many highly educated scholars will be much more capable if they have the energy.
Some of them should learn more than one or more languages, because in the future they will travel around the world. If they don't even know the language, how can they travel around?
Study tour is not limited to your own country...
When Yun Jing looked up what the text meant from a distance, he 'saw' that the newly engraved Dajiang Dynasty text on the notice wall turned into powder and was erased as if it had been weathered!
"Xian Zhen Qi, someone used Xian Zhen Qi to erase that text from the air. Although it was done secretly, how could it escape my perception!"
After all, having lived with Li Qiu for so many years, Yunjing was still very familiar with Xiantian Qi, so he recognized it at a glance.
With his heart skipping a beat, Yun Jing asked in his mind, when did an innate master appear in Niujiao Town?
If Yun Jing observed an innate master with his naked eyes, it would be difficult for him to distinguish the opponent without revealing his own aura. However, under his unique sensory perspective, innate masters were no less than a beacon in the darkness in his eyes.
Soon Yunjing found the innate master among the crowd.
The other party looked like a very ordinary passerby, inconspicuous, but the blazing innate true energy in his body could not fool Yun Jing's perception.
The other party naturally erased the words on the notice wall, and then walked slowly and slowly into Niujiao Town, not knowing that his every move was being observed by Yun Jing...
"I found it. The word "Dajiang Dynasty" actually means 'meeting'."
Many characters in the Dajiang Dynasty have multiple meanings, which is different from the characters in the Dali Dynasty...
