"Miss, if we are not wrong, this should be Linshan Village..."
Xiaoying said in a not so sure way.
Therefore, this is the first time they have come here. Although they asked about the road when they left the city, they almost fainted after walking twenty or thirty miles of winding mountain roads. There is no sign at the entrance of the village, so they can only guess
It's right.
"This is definitely Linshan Village!"
Yan Ning looked at the rows of brand new three-story buildings in front and said confidently.
"Why?"
"We have also visited many places this time, but have you seen three-story buildings like this in other mountain villages?"
"No."
Xiaoying shook her head.
Yan Ning stood up on his horse and said, "That's it! These three-story buildings are unique in shape. Although they are not very beautiful, they are extremely practical! In addition, these buildings are all made of blue bricks and red tiles.
The construction cost alone will cost a lot of money!”
"In recent years, border wars have occurred frequently. In order to raise military salaries, the court has repeatedly increased taxes on the people. If the tax cannot be paid, men will be in power as troops to guard the border, and women will be sold as slaves!"
"Many people who cannot pay taxes are afraid of being exiled or sold, so they have to leave their homes and flee. Most of these people have become refugees."
"The refugees had no land and could not find a way to live, so they occupied the mountains and became bandits, relying on forcing the annual grain from nearby villages and looting the past to make a living!"
"This will increase the burden on the people even more!"
"So, more ordinary people left their homes and fled and became refugees, and some of them went up the mountain and became bandits, making the situation worse and worse..."
Speaking of this, Yan Ning couldn't help but look a gloomy on his face, then smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "Look at me, I accidentally got out of it again! What I mean is that now it's great
Most people in mountain villages can’t even have enough food to eat, so how can they afford such a good building?”
"Perhaps, only that mysterious Young Master Lin has such ability!"
"So, I was sure to say that this place must be Linshan Village!"
Xiaoying echoed: "Miss, after hearing what you said, I also think this is Linshan Village!"
"I entered the village later and in front of outsiders, don't call me a lady."
Yan Ning reminded.
"I understand, little...young man!"
Xiaoying almost said the word "Miss" again, and she was embarrassed to stick out her tongue.
At this time, a group of men suddenly came from the front. They talked and laughed, and looked very energetic. This high-spirited mental state was completely different from the villagers she had seen before!
The group of people who came out of the village were all members of the transportation team, and the leader was Sun Chong's cousin, Sun Qinghai.
At the beginning, in order to buy food for his family, Sun Qinghai could only work hard to go up the mountain to chop firewood every day, and then take it to the city to sell it. It took several hours to go back and forth, but a truck of firewood could only be sold for a few cents.
!
Later, Lin Xu did not let him go to the city to sell firewood, but instead asked him to go up the mountain to cut down wood for spinning wheels. Not only did the work intensity be greatly reduced, but the money he earned every day also increased several times!
For this reason, not only Sun Qinghai, but also Sun Chong are very grateful to Lin Xu!
Later, they weaved grey cloth. In order to transport it to the city for sale, Lin Xu formed a transportation team and let Sun Qinghai serve as the captain. He had more than a dozen people under his command and became a small leader. At the same time, his wages were greatly increased.
!
For this reason, Sun Qinghai was even more grateful to Lin Xu and worked very hard. He transported goods to the county town so many times, but never had any problems.
Now, Sun Qinghai is already one of the core members of Lin Xu.
He divided the transportation team into two groups, and the other group had already gone to the county town to deliver cloth. Their group rested today, but they were not idle either. Sun Qinghai was preparing to take them to the back mountain to find his cousin Sun Chong and follow Lin Shan
The soldiers are training together!
Although they don’t have to confront the bandits head-on, there is no harm in practicing physical fitness and learning some self-defense skills. This chapter has been completed!
