Although the small building by the river is not as exaggerated as five steps, one stairs and one whistle, the defense is very strict. I feel something strange when I follow Su Shiqi. I press the knife with one hand and walk carefully towards the flowers in the darkness. My body suddenly moves, slashes sideways, and the sword light flashes by, and a black wild cat only has time to scream.

"snort."

Su Shiqi hummed lightly, pressed his waist knife with his hand and listened carefully for a quarter of an hour before he pressed the knife to patrol along the dark corner...

For a quarter of an hour, the ground of the grass that was nothing strange slowly rose, the moonlight tilted, and a figure in black appeared silently...

Zhang Yeying ran along the reed marsh, running very fast. The strange thing, the rustling sound that should have disappeared, silently and strangely.

The speedy footsteps turned suddenly without a pause, as if they knew that there was a black-topped boat hidden in the reed marsh, and their figure suddenly jumped up...

"Bang!"

The sound of landing sounded softly, and the sound of frogs shook the sky, and the next moment, the "quack" shook the sky again.

Zhang Yeying had not spoken yet, just like a woman stretching out her slender white fingers, snatching the wine bag from the jade claw Long Chenggui's hand, and sucking several mouthfuls of "gudonggudong" and then holding down the beating heart violently.

"Master, the Cai family's thief is too cautious and can't get close to you at all, so I almost got discovered."

The four dragons in Qiantang looked at each other, and the Jinlin Dragon Zhai Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you can't investigate anymore. If Su Mei discovers us, the saint will be in danger."

I don’t know how “Sun Banxian” Bao Daoyi and “Little Qi’er” ran. After Cai Yan entered Chang’an Town, the two arrived later and even contacted Fang La and others who had returned from Jiangning.

After hearing Zhai Yuan's words, Bao Daoyi agreed very much and said, "Brother Zhai is good. Master, you must not let Su Mei discover our whereabouts. Once the woman realizes that we are not good for her son, this matter may be difficult."

"Little beggar" but the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and said dissatisfied: "They have only two or three hundred people in total. Find more brothers in the sect and catch the little thief in one fell swoop. So what if Su Mei noticed it, so how dare she behave? Are you afraid that we will kill her son?"

Fang La frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Hundreds and thousands of people do you think the government will not notice it?"

Fang La scolded him for a while. Fang Jinzhi looked like a little beggar and was dissatisfied. She pouted and turned her head away. Seeing her like this, Bao Daoyi felt helpless and bowed to Fang La.

"The Su family came to the door to make trouble for the Cai Mansion, but Cai Jing Xiaoyanei left the mansion and came here. You can be sure that the saint must be alive. If Su Mei wants to kill someone, I don't have to worry about it, but if she feels us and angers her, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Zhai Yuan looked at Fang La who was silent, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "We come to save people. If we successfully rescue them, it would be fine. Ruo... Ruo angered the Hailong Gang and harmed the Saint. I am afraid that the brothers in the sect will be dissatisfied..."

"Dissatisfied? Let's save Sister Ying'er, who dares to be dissatisfied?"

Fang Jinzhi was not satisfied and snorted coldly. Fang La's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at the silent Bao Daoyi and Qiantang Four Dragons, and was furious.

"Who dares to be dissatisfied? Do you want the brothers in the sect to say that their father hurts the orphanage of the leader Zhang, and want to tell all the brothers of the Holy Sect that their father killed Ying'er with the Cai family's hands for power?"

Fang La was furious, and Fang Jinzhi was immediately frightened. She didn't think so much, and she didn't understand why she was here to save people, so why did it become a sinister?

Bao Daoyi sighed in his heart, pulled the stupid Fang Jinzhi behind his back, and smiled bitterly: "Give up the anger, Jinzhi is just worried about the safety of the Saint..."

"snort!"

Fang La snorted and interrupted, saying dissatisfied: "I'm crazy all day long... A child knows the priority of the child more than you. Why do you think that child is coming? If you dare to talk nonsense, get home for your father!"

"snort!"

Fang La was angry and knew the problem was difficult. He accidentally, the church members who had just conquered him immediately were at risk of collapse. It took him a long time to suppress the anger in his chest.

"We are saving people, not trying to harm Ying'er. Be careful in everything! You must not act rashly unless you have to!"

Cheng Gui looked at Fang La who was angry, then looked at Fang Jinzhi who was hiding behind Bao Daoyi and bowed his head to fear, and persuaded him: "Master, don't be angry..."

"I won't mention this matter! What should I do next?" Fang La interrupted completely.

Cheng Gui was helpless and could not think of a better way for a while. Bao Daoyi spoke out and said, "It can be confirmed that the saint must be alive. If he wanted to rescue him forcibly, it would expose the Holy Sect and would be more likely to anger the Hailong Gang, and there would be many unpredictable consequences."

Bao Daoyi hesitated for a while...

"It's better to follow along the way and wait and see what's going on."

Everyone looked at each other and was silent, but there was no good way. Cai Yan was surrounded by dozens of people, and there were three ships floating on the river. Two warships from the Hailong Gang followed him, taking action in the Hailong Gang's nest. Even if they forcibly seized the threat, the consequences would be difficult for them to bear.

There were countless scholars in the Song Dynasty who were good at Buddhism and Taoism. Zhang Huaisu met many high-ranking officials and worshipped the Guangming Cult to expand. However, because of the traitor's informant, not only Zhang Huaisu died, but countless officials were dismissed for their crimes, but the Guangming Cult suffered heavy damage and had to hide in their own lives.

Zhang Huaisu died and the Light Cult was divided into pieces. It took Fang La several years to gather the loose sand. If the court noticed it again at this time, no one dared to think about the consequences.

There was no good way for several people. Fang Laxin regretted it for a while and regretted that he shouldn't have agreed to the fifth lady, that Zhang Ying'er shouldn't have taken the risk, and that he could not get out of the way.

The boat of the reed marsh left, and the reed marsh returned to peace again. The frog sounded still and left no traces.

Without a dream all night, Cai Yan slept until dawn. Hai Rui Business has its own rules and he didn't need to ask about it at all. He didn't want to go out, but Liu Yidao came early and had no choice but to eat some food. The two of them came to the dock together, representing Su's inspection.

Ping'an Town Wharf mainly transports salt. Unlike merchants who compete to transport salt, not many people are willing to transport salt here. After Liu Yidao explained, he understood the root of the inside.

Merchants are pursuing profits, but they are unwilling to do without profits. They can do more or less in waste and bring more legal private salt. However, they are sandwiched between Su and Hangzhou. It is difficult to use some tricks. If there is no profit, they will sail against the current from south to north. Instead of transporting unprofitable salt, merchants are more willing to choose valuable items such as brocade, silk, satin and overseas spices.

However, the only benefit of participating in the official life is that it comes from official care, and there is no need to pay for the labor costs of transport. There is less official inspection and obstruction along the way, and more or less compensate for the losses of some merchants.

Seeing the yamen runners cursing from time to time, even whipping whips to intimidate, and seeing the unwilling civilians in the distance, Cai Yan shook his head and sighed, but he knew that this was impossible.

Seeing him shook his head, Liu Yidao hesitated and said: "It's not that Hairui Business is unwilling to pay the people's wages. Once it is given, not only will the companies be dissatisfied, but the government will also be angry, so..."

Cai Yan nodded helplessly and sighed: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, Huang'er is not dissatisfied. He knows that such offensive things cannot be done easily. Perhaps only if the old Master Cai really reopens to buy pounce, their livelihoods can improve, right?"

Cai Huang sighed again.

"The taxes in the Song Dynasty were indeed heavier. Under the high taxes, prices would inevitably rise, and the people would not have a chance to breathe. The recruitment of labor would inevitably increase the burden on the people. No wonder they were dissatisfied."

Cai Hua pointed to a group of men who were dissatisfied with loading and unloading salt. They knew why they were dissatisfied. It was different from recruiting for recruiting for servants with government orders and recruiting for recruiting for servants with silver. One was that they had no money or very little, and they had to bring their own food. The other was that they had to pay wages, and no one wanted to be recruited by servants after they were replaced.

The tax system of the Song Dynasty inherited the tax system of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the turbulent era. In the five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the turbulent era, when the wars were rampant, they would definitely try their best to plunder the people's wealth and support the soldiers. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, it was like the patriarch, and did not abolish the tax system of the soldiers and the army was rampant.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have been in turmoil for a hundred years. Perhaps people have become accustomed to it, or perhaps the number of people is scarce and the land is large, which is enough to survive under high taxes, or the people are unwilling to continue to be in chaos.

The Song Dynasty was indeed rich. Even if Cai Yan didn't know it before, he could find some answers from the classics in the Cai Mansion's study. The taxes were over 100 million yuan a year, and since the reign of Emperor Renzong, less than 120 million yuan, which means that the Song Dynasty's finances were not enough to make ends meet. From then on, the Song Dynasty began to sway left and right. Although the policies were not worth ten changes a day, they were not much different.

The court was very windy, and the flowers and plants under the big trees were in trouble. Not only did a large number of merchants die and suffer a large number of casualties, but the poor people also suffered unlucky.

Cai Yan knew that the merchants were afraid and could not deal with the big headscarves in the court. However, if they seized a slight opportunity, they would try their best to squeeze the lower-class people, try their best to increase their wealth, and avoid being the first to fall in turmoil. If it weren't for this, Cai Yan believed that with Lao Cai's bad deeds of "one ounce is ten ounces", Lao Cai would never have the chance to return to the court.

But this is reality, a naked and cruel reality!

Cai Yan knew the cruelty of reality and was not ready to pity the people who were venting their dissatisfaction. When he was about to leave, a man carrying salt suddenly threw his burden to the ground.

"Why, why don't you give me money? My mother, my wife and daughter have been hungry for a day. Will the official family starve us to death?"

The man was dissatisfied and the salt officer in charge of the salt basin was furious. A group of escorts from the Gangchen yamen immediately became nervous and raised their whips to whip them, which caused more civilians to be dissatisfied and pushed and scolded them.

"Young Master, it's not safe here, so please avoid it for a while." Liu Yidao has been in the sea for more than ten years, and is not afraid of the scene in front of him. He has even become accustomed to it, but he is still a little nervous about Cai Yan's safety.

Cai Yan frowned slightly and looked at the scene in front of him. Seeing that the yamen runners began to use their swords to intimidate him, he looked even more unhappy. Seeing that he was about to take a step, Liu Yidao hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Young Master, you must not interfere easily in this matter. In private, we can use other methods to make the wages more difficult. On the surface, we must not break the rules of the court and make it difficult for the old teacher to do it~"

Cai Yan paused, and another bitter corner of his mouth cursed himself of impulse and stupidity. As Liu Yidao said, there are too many ways to pay the money he should have in private, so there is no need to go against the government openly to make Lao Cai dissatisfied with him.
