Standing in the air, Wu Tao looked at Zhang Heng's mansion carefully and couldn't help but frown.
Apparently, he felt a little rustic and unassuming.
…
Zhang Heng looked embarrassed and said carefully in a low voice: "Senior, these are all good things done by the former county magistrate and have nothing to do with me..."
While talking, Zhang Heng invited Wu Tao into his house.
In a small, remote and desolate place like Tianshui County, no big shot has ever visited...
Besides, he is still an alchemist like Wu Tao who is aloof and has great influence.
This is a character who can change his destiny. The so-called opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back...
Faced with this opportunity that simply fell from the sky and hit him directly on the head, Zhang Heng naturally did not want to miss it...
Therefore, he tried his best to curry favor with Wu Tao.
After entering the mansion, Wu Tao scanned the situation in the mansion.
There is a miniature spiritual vein in the house, and all kinds of things needed for practice, although the quality is poor, they are there.
Although the decoration and furniture are simple, they are also rare, elegant and tasteful, not simply vulgar...
Wu Tao nodded, somewhat impressed by the seemingly dandy Zhang Heng in front of him.
After all, a person's taste has a lot to do with a person's true character. From this, it can be seen that this dandy boy definitely has great ambitions deep in his heart.
Seeing Wu Tao giving him a complicated look, Zhang Heng hurriedly took a step forward, picked up the teapot, brewed a cup of spiritual tea, and handed it over carefully.
Just when Zhang Heng was trying his best to flatter Wu Tao, on the other side, Uncle Huang also took action.
Uncle Huang found Pu Canlie, the county magistrate, and asked, "My lord, county magistrate, I wonder how many ordinary farmers there are in Tianshui County?"
County Magistrate Park Chanyeol was obviously relieved when he heard this.
Park Canlie patted the storage bag, took out the jade household registration book, flipped through it and said: "There are more than 3.86 million people in total. Mr. Huang, you also know that our Tianshui County is not a big county. The Immortal Cultivation Center The resources needed are even more pitiful.”
"Even if we squeeze out all the poor farmers in Tianshui County, we won't be able to squeeze out much oil and water..."
"What's more, there are several fifth-class families in Tianshui County. Although they are only the lowest aristocratic families, their combined power is far stronger than the power of the county..."
"So, if the magistrate wants to seize food from the tiger's mouth, it will not be so easy..."
After Huang Bo heard the complaints from the county magistrate Pu Canlie, he smiled and shook his head. He knew that the guy in front of him had misunderstood what he meant.
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Huang did not beat around the bush and told about collecting a large amount of spiritual herbs and elixirs to offset taxes and labor.
County Magistrate Park Chanyeol felt a little strange when he heard this, but if it was just such a trivial matter, he would not be guilty of offending the new county magistrate with a big background.
At this time, it was the spring famine period in December, and most people had nothing to do all day long and stayed at home.
However, it is said that on this day, just as Uncle Huang and the county prime minister Pu Canyeol reached a political order, teams after teams of people entered major towns with county warrants.
Although these people are all mortals, they all have strong bodies, strong looks, capable demeanor, and are well organized. They are all from the military.
…
These people are naturally the county soldiers under Tianshui County.
After entering the major towns, this group of people beat gongs and drums, attracting all the nearby farmers.
However, when the farmers gathered nearby, most of them had expressions of numbness and pain on their faces.
They have experienced similar situations countless times. Most of them were sent by Tianshui County officials to search for property.
In fact, the people of the Jin Kingdom, no matter how hard they were squeezed, had no ability to resist.
Isn't it nonsense for mortals to want to fight with cultivators?
However, this time, the farmers guessed wrong.
These county soldiers shouted to the dense crowd: "Now is the spring famine. The new county magistrate knows that you have no work..."
"So, the County Magistrate has been working hard these days and finally came up with a policy that can make you more profitable!"
"Nowadays, the county is short of spiritual herbs and elixirs. The county magistrate has decided to hire you to find spiritual herbs and elixirs."
"This year's royal taxes and taxes can be pledged with magical herbs and elixirs. Your life will be much easier in the future..."
After a pause, their voices became louder.
"In short, as long as you find a large amount of spiritual herbs and elixirs, you will no longer be afraid of taxes and labor from now on..."
As the words of these county soldiers fell, there was only a "boom" sound, and all the farmers were talking excitedly.
You must know that for these farmers who are mainly engaged in farming, the taxes from the Jin Kingdom are not too much.
This is because the high-ranking officials of the Jin Kingdom are all monks, and the monks do not know how to eat ordinary grains that are full of impurities.
If they just paid taxes to the court, the remaining food would be enough for them to live without worries.
What really kills me is Laoti.
In the Zizhou Immortal World, the exploitation of some resources does not require monks, just ordinary mortals.
However, these jobs are generally very dangerous and the mortality rate is very high, so what the people of the Jin Dynasty are most afraid of is labor.
Therefore, this order is undoubtedly the best thing for these farmers.
Three months later, the county treasury in Tianshui County was filled with Huangjing, Shouwu, ginseng, red fruit, Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, Poria cocos, white peony root, cinnamon, licorice, etc., like a mountain of spiritual herbs and elixirs...
…
Although 99% of the fires are less than a hundred years old, there are still about a hundred spiritual herbs and elixirs that have been heated for hundreds of years.
Most of these spiritual herbs and elixirs were refined by Wu Tao, including the "Grass-Returning Pill" that can enhance the soul, the "Rejuvenating Spirit Pill" that can heal injuries and restore spiritual power in the shortest time, and various types of internal injury pills, such as
Intermittent Transformation Pill, Qingxinshunqi Pill, Five Elements Spiritual Light Pill, etc., etc...
Wu Tao took all the magical herbs and elixirs that could be used to heal injuries and used them for himself.
With the remaining bits and pieces, Wu Tao made a furnace of pure green elixir and sent Zhang Heng away.
Zhang Heng was quite happy after seeing the elixir.
In summer, farmers get up early to take care of seasonal vegetables in the vegetable fields in front of their houses.
Farmers in towns and villages can basically be self-sufficient except for salt, iron, porcelain and cloth. This is because in addition to farming, they also grow vegetables and raise domestic animals such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows.
Wu Tao and Zhang Heng found an old man with gray hair at the edge of the field. They came to him and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Yangjia Town in front of me?"
When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied slowly: "This is indeed Yangjia Town. Who are you, young people? What are you doing in our town?"
Wu Tao couldn't help but touch his nose when he heard the young man's name.
You know, although he looks relatively young because he is a monk, in fact, he is over a hundred years old.
Nowadays, a mortal in his seventies or eighties calls himself a descendant, which is really hard for him to accept.
Fortunately, Zhang Heng, who was standing by, smiled and replied: "Old man, we are businessmen passing by. We were preparing to go to the county town. We happened to pass by your place and came to ask for directions."
The old man opened his eyes wide and looked carefully. When he saw the silk clothes Wu Tao and Zhang Heng were wearing, he became convinced.
He waved his hand and said: "This is the edge of Yangjia Town, the center of Yangjia Town, and we still have to walk ten kilometers further in."
Wu Tao and Zhang Heng's outfits are definitely those of wealthy families.
Although children from wealthy families may not necessarily be good people, they would never bully or deceive a little old man.
A joke? Do they have no face?
It was precisely because of this that the old man told Wu Tao and Zhang Heng the way.
If he was wearing rags and didn't speak the local accent, he wouldn't care.
Yangjia Town is the richest town among the 32 towns in Tianshui County.
The owner of Yangjia Town is the Yang family, a fifth-class family.
There are seven fifth-class families in Tianshui County, and the Yang family is the strongest.
In Yangjia Town, where the Yang family is stationed, there are not only three miniature spiritual veins, but also a rare ice jade vein.
…
It can be said that the Yang family is the richest power in Tianshui County.
The reason why Wu Tao and Zhang Heng appeared on the edge of Yangjia Town was because there were some changes between the Yang family and the other six fifth-class families.
It broke the balance that had existed in Tianshui County for hundreds of years, and Zhang Heng was worried about danger, so he shamelessly invited Wu Tao to come with him in disguise and went to Yangjia Town to inquire about the news.
Wu Tao, who was idle and bored, found the matter interesting and agreed immediately.
They walked along the road and after finding out the direction of the Yang clan, they went along the road.
The Yang family is well-known in Tianshui County and is the overlord in Yangjia Town, so the location is easy to find.
Wu Tao and Zhang Heng seemed to be two rich kids on the road.
The two of them walked slowly on the road, and sometimes they would find a pavilion to rest.
Wu Tao, who has been dancing with killing for many years, does not dislike this rare and ordinary experience, and even looks forward to it.
Listening to passers-by telling their stories, Wu Tao felt as if he had returned to his teenage years.
Time flies by. Over the past hundred years, have you gained more or lost more during this period of time?
He couldn't tell the difference himself.
