Chapter 89 Chen Family Village 2

"Trouble old man! This bag of money is our dinner fee, please be sure to accept it, and you will distribute it to those villagers who contribute money and work!" Du Long flipped his hands and took out a bag of gold coins. If you want to give money tickets in a small village, people are really afraid of receiving fake tickets, and it is not easy to divide them!

"This...is just an ordinary dinner. How can we need so many gold coins? My son, the old man really can't accept this money!" The money bag in his hand sank suddenly, and the old village chief opened the bag and saw The golden gold coins were dumbfounded, at least thirty or fifty gold coins, if you save some money, it would be enough to feed the whole village for a year!

"It's not right to disturb you all of a sudden. You have troubled the villagers to provide food and beverages for so many of us. If you don't accept a little bit of kindness, we have to leave this place immediately. Even if we sleep outside, we are ashamed to disturb you!" Du Long naturally couldn't Take back the gold coins sent out.

In the end, Princess Huofeng and others came forward to persuade the simple old village head to accept the bag of gold coins. However, the acceptor was soft-hearted. He immediately arranged for people to kill pigs and cattle, and slaughtered a cow in the village that was usually delicious and lazy. .

So, a very sumptuous dinner was prepared. There are chefs in the village who are in charge of banquets. Respect the old and love the young!

As a lord for the first time, Du Long really wanted to know what the common people thought of noble lords, and how to be a qualified lord. The information obtained from these commoners was naturally the closest to reality.

Take out a few altars of good wine brought from the capital from the space ring, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, these simple villagers will say all their heartfelt words, and Du Long nods secretly.

In the whole world, could it be the land of the king, as long as it is the land of the king, you have to pay taxes!

The villagers who rely on the land to plan food, pay half of the total annual harvest in taxes, of which one quarter belongs to the national treasury, and the other quarter belongs to the local lord!

Calculated, this kind of tax is very heavy, and many villagers have to find ways to raise some cattle, sheep, chickens and poultry, or go hunting in the mountains to earn some extra money to supplement their families, otherwise the family will definitely starve.

Of course, being hungry is better than starving to death for a family without food. As long as the harvest is not too bad, ordinary farmers can still eat and wear warm clothes!

After learning that Du Long was the lord who went to Xiguzhou to take over the fiefdom of Fengli County, the old village chief shook his head and sighed: "Young master! I didn't expect to be the lord of a county at such a young age! But it's a pity, old man, I I have been to Fengli County when I was young, and I have a good understanding of the situation there. Compared with ordinary villages under the rule of Fengli County, the villagers of our Chenjiazhuang can at least have enough food and clothing every year. It will be hard!"

"Oh! How do you say that?" To Du Long, Fengli County can be described by the Emperor Shan Gao. Even his grandfather, an old general who has traveled all over the country, doesn't know much about it. Usually, no one will go there. Such a remote and backward county town!

"When I was a young man, like many young people, I dreamed of wandering the rivers and lakes and becoming a ranger admired by everyone. During this period, I traveled to the Fengli County area. In addition to paying heavy taxes, the villages there had to pay heavy taxes every day Facing the monsters that run out from the forest of monsters from time to time, life is miserable!" The old village chief thought with a sigh of relief looking into the distance.

Only then did Du Long and the others discover that the old village chief was actually a ranger when he was young. No wonder the energy fluctuation level on his body has faintly reached the extreme level of the cyclone stage. He is still a master of martial arts. No wonder he looks energetic at such an age Vibrant look.

It's a pity that these remote small villages don't have superior cultivation methods, and many people will be able to reach the Cyclone Stage Consummation throughout their lives, which is not bad!

In this world, the control over martial arts is extremely strict, and most of the relatively high-quality martial arts are concentrated in the hands of those big families. Even so, big families like Du's don't even have the skills to break through the spiritual rank!

"So! Is that place in Fengli County useless?" Du Long looked a little discouraged.

"No!" The old village head's eyes flickered: "More than half of Fengli County is in the Forest of Monster Beasts, which is a treasure land! It's just that no one has the strength to mine the resources of that treasure land, or they are being exploited." Some people secretly controlled it, coupled with the corruption of the county guards, and collusion with the inside and outside, this made Fengli County City a poor place!"

Du Long's eyes lit up suddenly, apparently the old village chief's answer made him see hope again, and finally said viciously: "His grandma! Whoever dares to do my things without authorization, see if I don't kill him!"

puff!

Du Long's ferocious appearance made everyone burst into laughter, Princess Huofeng laughed tremblingly and said, "Hahaha, husband, I used to feel that Su Huobao was falling into the eyes of money, but now it seems that it is still the same. Look at him highly, compared with you, he can only be regarded as a small money fan at best, and you are the real big money fan!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed even more after hearing Princess Huofeng's ridicule.

"No, no!" Su Jinbao continued with a smile: "I don't think there is anything wrong with losing money. In this world, there is the strength of martial arts to the extreme, the power to dominate the world, and another kind of strength. But it is common in the world, that is money! A man only needs one of money, martial arts, and the world to be considered a real good man! Otherwise, why should he protect his beloved from harm?"

"That's right! What this young master said makes sense!" The old village chief nodded and smiled with his beard.

"Old man! Can you continue to talk about the good resources in Fengli County? Since there are those resources, why can't they still not get rid of the name of poor county?" Du Long is obviously still concerned about his fiefdom.

"Hehe, the old man will talk about his knowledge of Fengli County! Since it has been many years, please forgive me if there is anything unclear!" The old village head said modestly.

"It doesn't matter! As long as you can learn from it, it's better than a blind man trying to figure out an elephant!" Du Long waved his hand indifferently.

"If you want to talk about the resources of Fengli County, they are rich! There is a small town in Fengli County called Jinshan Town. That town is located on the edge of the forest of monsters, but it can attract hundreds of thousands of people every day. Outsiders patronize!"

"Jinshan Town really lives up to its name. I heard that if you go from the town to the Forest of Monster Beasts, as long as you travel more than a hundred miles, there are several gold mines. There are many powerful monsters and beasts along the way, so the government can't send a large number of soldiers to mine!"

"After all, the most taboo in the Forest of Monster Beasts is that there are too many people. Once you attract a powerful monster, even tens of thousands of people are not enough to die!"

"Thus, many adventurers formed small teams and entered the Forest of Monster Beasts from Jinshan Town. Lucky ones continued to reach the gold mines and found a lot of gold. Many people became rich overnight!"

"As a result, Jinshan Town gathers a large number of teams who want to venture into the Forest of Monster Beasts to seek gold every day. Of course, many teams are killed in the Forest of Monster Beasts, but there are also a small number of lucky people who successfully find gold mines and become rich!"

Hearing this, Du Long couldn't help but interjected: "Is there no one to take care of it? It's a felony to mine gold mines without permission!"

"Hehe, that's why I just said that the local county guards are corrupt, and if they support those people, who would take care of that?" The old village head replied with a smile.

"I understand!" Du Long nodded, and then continued to ask: "By the way, besides the gold mine, does Fengli County have any other resources?"

"Haha! There are so many resources in the Forest of Monster Beasts! For example, all kinds of precious medicinal materials are no worse than gold mines. If you are lucky enough to come across some precious spiritual medicines for refining elixir, it is definitely better than panning for gold. It's much easier! Of course, the more expensive these elixirs are, the more powerful monsters will guard them, and getting them depends on luck and strength!"
