Chapter 1160 1160: Raising grain (Part 2) [Please give me a monthly ticket]
"Ph—Don''t you—gulugulugulugulugulugulu—"
The man didn''t finish his harsh words and was forced to choke several times.
Just when he thought he would die this time, he pulled his hair into a bun and took him out of the water. He coughed in a mess and breathed the precious air greedily. The next breath, **** pinched his neck accurately: "One last chance!"
The man was forced to meet those deadly eyes.
Clean without any turmoil, as if looking at a dead person.
The man''s teeth were uncontrollably bumped up and down, feeling the continuous contraction of his fingers and the approaching breath of death, he finally collapsed and shouted: "I said - I said, I said that''s it!"
Chen Tang patted his wet face: "That''s right."
After saying that, he winked at his own people. The closest ranger understood and soon dug out the hidden token from the place where the man explained. It is said to be a token, but it is actually an official position.
Certificate for an official to take office.
She played with the token and smiled satisfied.
"Yes, this thing is real."
"You have also got the stuff, can I..." He could only pin his hope of survival on the conscience of these bandits.
But I don’t think that they are all bandits, so how can they have a conscience?
"What are you doing while standing there? Just drag it away and kill it."
The man''s eyes hope was completely destroyed, and what followed was a turbulent anger and scolded: "Thief, don''t keep your word!"
"Can you believe the words of the thief?"
Raise your hand and make a sound [Forbidden to speak out], the world is pure.
No matter how hard a man struggles, he still can''t stand two young and strong rangers, one left and one right, just like a pig waiting to be slaughtered away. After a while, bright red flowed down from the upstream. Chen Tang stuffed the official into his arms and turned over and stepped onto the mule''s mule''s back.
"We''ll get the things, let''s take office!"
The corpses everywhere were dealt with, and only blood on the ground silently told the **** incident that happened not long ago. Chen Tang raised his arms and shouted, and a group of rangers responded. When Chen Tang forced the official to ask about his whereabouts, these people had already stripped off all the guards'' clothes.
Xiahou Yu and Gu De looked at each other.
All of them see a bit of complexity from each other''s eyes.
A few days ago, they were still discussing how to take root.
Become a bandit and occupy the mountain as king. This is the lowest cost, but the risk is relatively high. If the local government has a strong temper, they will easily be defeated by the other party as political achievements. Secondly, they can observe for a while and look for the situation in Qiguo. If they see the right thing, they will find a force to rely on. Freedom will be limited to a certain extent. The advantage is that the environment is stable and the cost of living is guaranteed. They can parasitize this force to develop themselves. The third suggestion is to join the army. The turmoil and uneasy within Qiguo is a good opportunity to take advantage of the troubled waters!
If you are lucky, you can still find a place.
Unexpectedly, the Lord General denied all three suggestions.
[The moral bottom line of you two is too high...] It’s not that Xiahou Yu and the other two have bad suggestions. In fact, all three paths can be done. The problem is that Chen Tang doesn’t have so much patience to take it slowly. [Good people do good things, and bad people do bad things of course. 】
Chen Tang doesn’t think he is a good person.
That''s the bad guy.
She sneered: [Since you are a bad person, you can’t follow the rules and make money by trying to get something you want. Just grab it. 】
Xiahou Yu had to remind Chen Tang.
[Master, we are short of staff. 】
How can two or three hundred unorganized and disciplined rangers conquered cities and territories? The Qi King''s Court has not completely collapsed yet, so it is easy to deal with them. If you want to truly take root, you must at least have a foundation for the people''s hearts. If you don’t want these common people to help you, at least you won’t be pricked.
Otherwise, how to gain a foothold?
[Do you think I want you to attack the county and town? 】
Xiahou Yu was puzzled: [Isn’t it? 】
What if you don’t grab this?
Chen Tang smiled and shook his head and said: [Sneaking the county and town, just a few people are giving away their heads. Of course, I will not let everyone die. I mean, let''s go and rob the people who are about to take office. After robbing his official position, let’s take over! 】
Intercept and kill the incoming officials.
This is easier to operate than directly attacking counties and towns.
The phenomenon of selling official positions and titles in Qiguo is quite serious, and Chen Tang and others just need to stay at the unlucky guys who take office in a remote location. The Ranger is well-informed and has a variety of knowledge and is mixed up with all the abilities of the ancestral family. It is not difficult to find out the right goal. Chen Tang selected an unlucky person from it: [This is the one, let’s intercept him! 】
Xiahou Yu thought: [This person is not very suitable. 】
There are no barriers in the place where you take office, and there is no danger to rely on.
He pointed to another unlucky person.
The unlucky guy is about to take office. If he can save his identity by stealing the truth, he will save a lot of worries.
But Gu De was attracted to another territory.
The reason is also convincing.
The transportation in this area is relatively convenient and there are waterways in the country. Taking root here to make a living is a great advantage for us.
Chen Tang’s reasons are different from those of them.
She said: [This man has committed many crimes in King Qi, and he bought an official to take office to avoid the limelight. To be cautious, he will be very low-key after taking office and will not contact his family too much. He is dead and no one will follow him in a short period of time. 】
The other few are recommended to the superiors, and they always have one connection and ability. Perhaps the place where they take office will also have relatives, disciples and old officials to help them, and it is easy to be exposed if they replace them. Chen Tang chose different unlucky people. He was an abandoned son of his family, and buying an official to let him go to another place was also to avoid danger. From this analysis, the possibility of replacing him with office is much greater than that of other people.
The three unlucky guys each have their own advantages.
Xiahou Yu and Gu De finally chose Chen Tang.
Only after you succeed can you consider other things.
After making a plan, the group planned the operation to intercept the troops. When the man took office, he only brought a hundred personal guards and a concubine, and his wife and children were all left in the royal capital. Their vigilance is quite good, and they discovered the murderous intent in the secret first.
It’s a pity that his strength is not good.
"Master—I found a living mouth!"
Before the mule could take two steps, a subordinate dragged a figure over and threw the person in front of Shen Tang like a garbage dump. This man was dressed in a mess, with a disheveled face, and at first glance he thought he was a savage. Looking closely, it was clearly a woman. Chen Tang remembered that when he was intercepted just now, he really didn''t see the concubine beside the man.
The woman also saw the guard''s clothes hanging on the strange face, and the familiar carriages and horses changed their masters, with pretty face pale. How could I understand that those group of people were killed? She felt frightened, and she leaned back, supporting her hands to retreat.
Xiahou Yu: "Are you going to kill?"
Gu De: "It''s better to kill."
Let her bring the news to the outside world alive, and these two or three hundred people will be gone. But the Lord has not spoken yet.
The woman said in horror: "Don''t kill me, please don''t kill me, I''m innocent, please don''t kill me!"
Chen Tang: "Innocence is useless."
Only valuable can be useful.
She was about to draw her sword to give the woman a happy time.
The woman obviously knew that Chen Tang had murderous intentions, and she had no chance of escaping. She made a fuss: "Let me survive! As long as you promise not to kill, I can help you! Otherwise, even if you take office, you will be exposed to your identity!"
Chen Tang tightened the reins and controlled the mule to stop.
Looking at the woman condescendingly: "Take it serious?"
The woman was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but she still pretended to be calm: "Yes! I can cover you up."
Chen Tang doesn’t easily believe women’s words. If you want her to believe it, a woman must provide evidence.
Seeing that Chen Tang''s sword did not fall, the woman knew that she had bet right. She tried to swallow her saliva, relieved her dry and fiery throat, and tried to keep her voice from trembling. As they came one by one, Chen Tang realized that there was actually a hidden plot here.
The man she just killed was not the original owner of Guan Zheng.
"Who is he?"
Woman: "I am a classmate of the man-in-law."
Not only classmates, but also classmates who have deep hatred.
Let’s replace the two of them for the time being.
The real master of the official is the second generation ancestor Jia. This person is greedy for flowers and wine, and he is like a lustful person. One day, classmate B fell in love with a woman who escaped. The woman sold herself to bury her father. B took a fancy to her appearance and paid for her to buy her. But I didn''t expect that the second generation ancestor would buy it first when I asked someone to go back to get the money. Not only that, he also humiliated B.
Classmate B already holds grudges, but now he has deeper resentment.
The second generation ancestor made a mistake, and his father and brother were disappointed. He bought him a small official and sent him to avoid the limelight. Halfway through the journey, he was ambushed by classmate B, and was quietly replaced by the other party. Classmate B knows the second generation ancestor and prepares solutions for it early.
Unexpectedly, another yellow bird appeared on the road.
The woman had no good feelings for both men. The first second-generation ancestor forced to buy and sell. The wife at home had a tough personality. On the first day she started, she was a warning to her, beating, scolding and talking about her short-lived father, which made her miscarriage three times a year and a half. The second one was just interested in her color, but somehow, the other party accused her of being accusing her of being a hot-sexed poplar flower, saying that she was a woman and a second sold her.
She obviously did nothing.
The arm can’t twist her thighs, she just wants to live.
I thought he could survive by committing himself to the other party, but he was also a short-lived man and died tragically at the hands of a bandit. I am a fisherman, and if she doesn''t want to die, she can only find a way to please these bandits.
Chen Tang''s eyes were cast on Xiahou Yu and the others.
"What do you think?"
Xiahou Yu shook his head: "She didn''t lie."
"Since that''s the case, keep it."
Because Qi Yuanliang was not here, Chen Tang could not disguise himself as a man, so he let Xiahou Yu, who was close to the second generation ancestor Jia, do his job on his behalf. The woman has been a concubine for the second generation ancestor Jia for more than a year, so she knows this person well.
The crisis was temporarily lifted, and the woman let out a sigh of relief in secret.
Xiahou Yu was puzzled: "Why didn''t the Lord kill this person?"
The woman did not lie, but she did not tell the truth completely.
As a concubine from a commoner, the help she can provide is very limited, and at most she tells them the original owner''s habits and interpersonal relationships. Xiahou Yu and others also sent someone to inquire about this part, and they could fool them for a while, not only by hiding the truth but also by fooling them.
Save women or not, it doesn’t make much sense.
Chen Tang said: "It''s probably because of fate."
Xiahou Yu was puzzled: "Fate?"
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Her experience sounds quite like a fusion of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", and his life experience is indeed quite pitiful. Killing her will not affect the overall situation, and not killing her will not affect... What''s wrong with keeping her life? As long as she doesn''t seek death."
"I can kill or not, I usually choose not to kill."
Xiahou Yu: “…”
If you remember correctly, the Lord will kill all the way, and the number of lives in his hands is the most? Chen Tang was unhappy by him and muttered, "Oh, am I missing a wig? Who can do it with Yourong? The wigs on the market are not good."
A woman''s hair is good.
The hair is shiny and black, long, straight and thick.
It’s just right for yourself.
The rangers who were subdued by her had either dry and frizzy hair or had a shortage of hair, and Chen Tang looked down on them. The only two who could like it, Xiahou Yu and Gu De said that their parents would accept their bodies and hair, and they would not agree to give their hair to themselves!
Xiahou Yu: “…”
This place has three days left to take the waterway to take office.
Three days have passed, enough for a woman to knit a beautiful wig.
Chen Tang pulled his mind from the perspective of Zifei.
Inside the camp, she touched the dense black hair on her head and whispered: "Why didn''t we think of this method back then? Alas, if we could do this, I don''t know how many detours we could have taken..."
The territory here on Zixu is much better than Wuyou.
Although the territory is not large, the victory is that you don’t have to be exploited.
Yes, exploited.
The person who exploited Wuyou was still the head of the Cui clan, Cui Zhi.
As soon as he talked about this, Chen Tang was in anger!
Only oneself is the only one who exploits others. When is it the other person’s turn to exploit himself? Do you really think she was still in Heyin and the neighbors around her were not easy to mess with? But in the areas under Wuyou rule, many farmlands belong to the Cui family!
It takes people to reclaim wasteland.
Farming also requires people.
If Cui refused to cooperate, his rule would almost stop.
"Cui Erlang?"
Cui Mi chuckled, as if she didn''t know anything about the inside story: "I haven''t seen you for a few days, Sister Chen, are you still in the near future?"
"It''s pretty good, I''m ready to give up."
Cui Mi was surprised: "Sister Chen has just taken office?"
"What are you going to go? You might as well go back and ask your good father, and ask him how much rent he wants to collect from the tenant!" If a family like Cui was in the territory of Kangguo, he would have been killed by himself to make his ancestors'' 18 generations of his ancestors only have ankles left. "Isn''t it all 10% in the past?"
She came to take office and immediately raised her rent.
The common people under the rule knew that Cui wanted to punish her at a glance.
Cui Mi had no surprise on her face.
"Sister Chen is angry about this?"
Chen Wuyou Tang asked back: "Otherwise? What else can you do? Since your father sincerely forced me to leave, it''s okay. I happened to ask Nujun Cui, so I''ll have a companion on the road together!"
Cui Mi stepped forward to stop her: "Sister Chen is probably a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding, what kind of misunderstanding can you have?"
"This is really not my father''s intention."
"Isn''t his intention?"
Cui Mi: "Wang Ting means."
Wang Ting was short of food, and his ministers proposed to increase taxes.
The taxes in the Qi State are different from other regions. The royal court will determine an average based on the annual harvest, and the counties and counties in the territory pay taxes based on this average, and all regions will be equal. This move can guarantee the interests of the treasury, but it has disadvantages - the farming area and output are different in each region, and there are fertile land and barren land within the territory of the Qi Kingdom. For example, this place is filled with many mountains, water, and less fields, and the per capita output is far lower than the average target line given by Wangting. In fact, it was not so serious at the beginning, but as young people were overwhelmed and ran to other places, population loss intensified and the pressure became heavier.
This place has owed the royal court three years of taxes.
