In the autumn of this year, Sanyang County did have a bumper harvest. With the help of Tie Niu, he managed to cultivate one-third of the county's fertile land. The new immigrants gritted their teeth and worked hard for half a year, and finally harvested a mountain of grain. They were all tenants of Er Gouzi, and they only needed to pay two rents to the landlord, and the rest of the grain was theirs. Looking at the grain piled up in the warehouse, many people sighed that after living for most of their lives, they could finally have a good year. At least it would be no problem to feed the whole family. Er Gouzi also had a huge harvest. The rent he harvested, plus some of the land he planted, added up to nearly 1 million shi. Originally, there were 8 million shi of grain in Hululi, and 1 million shi in Shekou Mountain, which had not been consumed much, and now another 1 million shi was added. And these were all Er Gouzi's land, he had a name on his body, and did not need to pay taxes. In the entire Sanyang County, there are only a few dozen households that need to pay taxes, and this year a total of more than 10,000 shi of grain was collected.
Er Gouzi did not embezzle a single grain of the 10,000 shi of grain collected. He refined all of them into marching pills and personally escorted them to Qingzhou City. When Er Gouzi entered the city with the marching pills, he saw the portraits of the butterfly fairy posted all over the streets, and he was shocked at the time. He remembered that he did not know the butterfly fairy and the two had no connection, so he felt relieved. "This old man, what is the butterfly fairy posted on the wall?" Er Gouzi asked an old man with crutches. "Hey, you are the one, right? This butterfly fairy is not to be trifled with. She has committed many serious crimes in Qingzhou City, and now the whole city knows about it." "Ah, a pretty-looking woman, what serious crimes could she have committed?" Since Er Gouzi didn't know the butterfly fairy, he naturally didn't know what crimes she had committed. "You can't judge by appearance. It is said that this woman has stolen tens of thousands of pills from the alchemy room, including more than ten Xuanyuan pills." When the old man said this, he was still smacking his lips. In most people's minds, a Peiyuan pill is already a huge fortune, and the butterfly fairy actually stole tens of thousands of pills. But what was more surprising at this moment was Er Gouzi. When had he ever stolen pills from the alchemy room? And he stole so many! All the pills he had sold on the black market added up to just over a dozen pills, and Xuanyuan Pills only sold a few dozen pills in total. Moreover, these pills were made by himself, and had nothing to do with the alchemy room. "This is just the pills, he also stole a few spiritual herbs, stole a few spiritual stones from the Qingzhou government office..." The old man talked about the crimes committed by the butterfly fairy, and he knew them all, and it seemed that these cases had long been known to the whole city. At this moment, Er Gouzi wanted to plead for the butterfly fairy. This was obviously a frame-up, and all the sins were put on the butterfly fairy.
"Just three months ago, the court allocated a large number of marching pills, elixirs, spirit stones and other supplies for the border troops to fight, but they were all stolen by the butterfly fairy." "Ah, they dared to steal military supplies, what about the border troops?" Hearing this, even Er Gouzi, who was used to stealing, felt that some people were too bold to steal military supplies. And he hadn't been to Qingzhou City for more than half a year. Three months ago, he was still practicing on Shekou Mountain. "Isn't it? This butterfly fairy is too immoral and lacks great virtue!" "The government has issued a notice that anyone who meets the butterfly fairy, regardless of life or death, can go to the government to receive the reward." The old man spitted and cursed the butterfly fairy for being immoral, while lamenting that he didn't have such good luck. It is said that as long as you take the butterfly fairy's body to the government, you can receive a heavy reward of 5 Xuanyuan pills. Even Er Gouzi was moved, but it was a pity that he didn't know the Butterfly Fairy and had never seen this. Er Gouzi sighed, relatively speaking, he was still far behind. He thanked the old man and walked to the Qingzhou government office alone. This time, the tax payment was very smooth, and there was no difficulty from the government office. The land tax, population tax and other twenty kinds of taxes that the entire Sanyang County should pay this year were paid in one go. After leaving the government office, he strolled casually on the streets of Qingzhou City. There are so many people in Qingzhou City, all of them are people at a glance. It would be great if so many people could go to Sanyang County to plant them for themselves. There are portraits of the Butterfly Fairy posted everywhere on the street, and some people stood under the portraits and pointed and discussed how to capture this person. Out of curiosity, Er Gouzi came closer to listen. The methods discussed here are nothing more than using some good things to lure the butterfly fairy, and then setting a trap. "I think I can use the beauty trap to seduce the butterfly fairy!" Er Gouzi turned his head and saw a man with buck teeth. He didn't know where this man got his confidence from. "Is this Taoist friend interested in working together? But there is a big reward of a few Xuanyuan pills!" A middle-aged man saw that Er Gouzi seemed to be very curious, so he came over to invite him to join. "Forget it, I am not very capable, so I won't hold you back." Er Gouzi waved his hand to refuse the invitation and left quickly. Then he continued to wander around the city and bought a lot of supplies by the way. Nowadays, the trade routes in Sanyang County have been almost blocked, and the goods cannot be sold abroad. Some necessities of life were not available, and some merchants risked transporting them here, and the price was more than 10 times higher. Other things were okay, and they could barely last for a few years if they were put together temporarily, but necessities like salt had to be bought.
Many people were swollen without salt. Er Gouzi went to a Xia family business that specialized in selling salt to buy a few kilograms of salt. He wanted to buy more, but the store refused to sell. It happened that there was only this large business that specialized in selling salt in the entire Qingzhou City. The small amount of salt in other grocery stores was bought from the Xia family. There are now 100,000 people in Sanyang County, but only a few kilograms of salt, which can't last for a few days. After a round in the city, he didn't find any other channels to buy salt. Since the store was unwilling to sell it even if he spent money, Er Gouzi could only take a different approach. In the next one or two days, he kept wandering around the business to find out the truth. Two days later, he finally got to know the details of the business. He found a corner without people, slapped a talisman on himself, and the shadow disappeared. = || ; ({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });
