Looking around, there were endless sounds of lamentation on the edge of the field ridge. The Beifu soldiers did not attack cautiously because their opponents were Jingkou villagers. On the contrary, they attacked very hard, and many villagers also suffered their losses.
He suffered a lot of skin injuries.
"We have protected the young seedlings, and they have accepted their defeat, and that's it."
"They are Beifu soldiers and they are very powerful in Jingkou. We should accept them as soon as possible."
Although what Liu Yu said was reasonable, the radical Tan Ping still couldn't accept it.
He cursed a lot, but thanks to the cautious Wei Yongzhi, he finally took him away after some pulling.
Seeing that the villagers had dispersed, Wang Mi immediately got on his horse.
"Walk!"
"Let's go after it and take a look!"
The horse's hooves kicked for a while and soon caught up with the walking villagers.
Liu Yu was packing up the fallen farm tools. He looked up and met Wang Mi's clear eyes.
"Ouch!"
"What a handsome young man, you must be from Jiankang!" A big man with a black turban on his head looked at Wang Mi with a special... rippling look.
Wang Mi felt a chill in his heart and quickly returned his gaze to Liu Yu.
"If you offended General Beifu, aren't you afraid that he will settle a score with you in the future?"
Who is this?
Wenwen looks weak, why do you want to talk to him?
Liu Yu was confused for a while, but he still said cheerfully: "Why are you afraid?"
"General Liu is also very arrogant in his treatment of the villagers. If Mr. Lang is free, you can go to the market and ask around. He often bullies us Jingkou people. Even if I tolerate it today, I can't guarantee that I will be bullied by him someday."
."
"Today he has seen the unity of us Jingkou people, and maybe he will be more cautious and curb his evil behavior."
Wang Mi immediately stared at Liu Yu, and seeing his neither humble nor overbearing answers, he felt even more appreciative.
"It's best if you have confidence."
"However, if General Liu threatens you or encounters difficulties in the future, you can come to see me at Changxing Inn."
After saying that, Wang Mi rode away on horseback.
Wei Yongzhi looked at his figure and marveled: "This man has a handsome appearance. He looks like a noble man at first glance. Unexpectedly, he can ride a horse very well."
Liu Yu nodded and agreed.
Speaking of the children of these aristocratic families in the Jin Dynasty, it is really difficult to describe them in words.
Because the Jin Dynasty was dissatisfied with its military, it turned around and advocated metaphysics and talk, and paid no attention to martial arts such as bow, horse, and archery.
This kind of atmosphere is most prominent among the children of aristocratic families.
Many noble men have never even climbed on a horse, let alone riding a horse. But the man in white in front of him can control the horse so freely, which is really admirable.
"Whose husband is this? Will he come to our Jingkou?" Tan Pingzhi sighed, Liu Yu shook his head: "He must have a good background."
"How did you tell?"
Liu Yu pointed to the soil on the ground and recalled: "Did you notice the strong man standing next to him just now?"
"Fair complexion, red beard."
Tan Pingzhi suddenly understood and shouted: "Xianbei people!"
"Why didn't I notice!"
Strictly speaking, although Jingkou was a strategically important town in the Jin Dynasty, its contact with the northerners was, at best, only the Han people crossing south.
Whether they are Xianbei people or Di people, they are both rare species here.
Not to mention the Jin people who can drive the Xianbei people, it is simply unimaginable.
Several strong men were immediately curious about the man in white. Could he also be a general from Beifu, traveling in disguise?
"Zhinu, are you going to join him?"
Although the man in white didn't say it clearly, he definitely meant this. Liu Jinu was brave and heroic, so he should naturally be appreciated by the Ming Lord.
If you can embrace the right thigh, you can show your ambition and rise to great heights. This was a very common operation in the Jin Dynasty, a dynasty where family background was the most important thing.
A few generations back, Liu Yu could be regarded as coming from an official family, but by his father's generation, his family was already in poverty.
Liu Yu's father, Liu Qiao, served as a county meritorious official in Jingkou. Although his official position was not high, he was quite important.
This official position is responsible for selecting talents among the prefectures and counties, which is equivalent to the modern person in charge of personnel. Logically speaking, the Liu family should be extremely rich, with contributions from all parties.
However, Liu Qiao was an anomaly in the Jin Dynasty where bribery was a common practice. He was upright and could not get rid of dirt in his eyes. Therefore, instead of getting rich because of this good job, he made his family's life even more impoverished.
Not to mention, within a few years of his tenure, he fell ill and passed away, leaving behind orphans and widowers, making his life even more difficult to survive.
As the only male in the family, Liu Yu worked hard to earn money and maintain the family's livelihood, but his friends all knew that sending a slave to Jingkou was just a temporary hibernation, and he was by no means a thing in the pond.
The clogs were kicked and the loess was churning. Liu Yu strode forward without paying much attention.
"The gentleman looks up to me, and I'm naturally very grateful. However, if we want to make contributions, we still have to rely on ourselves. Besides, the gentleman didn't tell us his name at all. He probably just said it casually."
Everyone nodded: "That's right."
"If he really wanted to win over us, how could he not leave his name behind?" Tan Pingzhi looked unhappy, feeling like he had been deceived.
Jingkou is not a big place, but it has a lot of people. Because it is a famous county for overseas Chinese, there are frequent exchanges between the north and the south, and merchants from all over the country also gather here. Compared with the big city of Jiankang City, the market here is not as good as the East Market.
Not bad, business is very good and there are many customers.
Therefore, as the largest Changxing Inn in Jingkou, there are hundreds of people staying there every day. It is not as convenient as you think to find someone you have only met once.
After convincing his friends, Liu Yu had some calculations in his mind.
The man in white was indeed of an extraordinary background, and must have come from several important families in the imperial court. However, Liu Yu was still not sure of the real reason why he fell in love with him.
He cannot act rashly until he understands his true thoughts.
After saying goodbye to his friends, Liu Yu hurried to the vicinity of Queer Lake and quickly collected a boatload of reeds. He took the boat and came to the vicinity of Dahang (the bridge was called Hang in the Jin Dynasty). Sure enough, he saw the bridge on the bridge.
The police station was already full, stopping pedestrians to collect taxes.
He made a prompt decision, tied the reeds into bundles and carried them to the bridge. Although he saved tax money, he did not make much money.
These officers who collect the bridge tax are very discerning. They also know that the villagers are unwilling to pay the tax, so they often park the cargo boats in inconspicuous places and carry the goods on their backs on the bridge. In order to catch them
This kind of dishonest person takes advantage of loopholes, and every policeman who collects the bridge tax has a pair of sharp eyes.
If you go back and forth in front of him more than three times, you are guaranteed to be caught by him. Therefore, Liu Yu's income today is still limited.
