Space hoarding: Miracle doctor’s fat wife is not easy to mess with
Chapter 416 Curiosity killed the cat
Knowing that Qi Yue was a businessman passing by, the old woman finally spoke with sobs.
"The young master doesn't know something, and the old lady is afraid of getting you into trouble."
Hearing this, Qi Yue became even more curious.
"Don't worry, old lady, I'm passing by here temporarily and will leave in three days. I'm not afraid of any trouble."
In this way, several people protected the old woman and walked to the suburbs of Nanjie.
On the way, Qi Yue finally figured out what happened at the intersection while the old woman was talking.
The old woman lives in Qinghe Town in the suburbs, and her family makes a living by growing vegetables.
In the past few years, there were many merchants coming and going in Jimo City, there were many restaurants and inns, and business was very good.
The old woman's family grows and sells vegetables. Although they are not very rich, they can still ensure food and clothing. During the holidays, they can also eat a few eggs and one or two pieces of meat.
But in recent years, the taxes imposed by the government have become more and more serious. This year, they actually blocked the road to collect money.
When people go to the market to sell things, they have to pay tolls. When they arrive at the market, they have to pay for setting up stalls. They even have to pay for watering the ground.
Moreover, these taxes are collected on a per capita basis. Under normal circumstances, a person's head is three taels.
In this way, part of the income has been spent from the time vegetables are planted to maturity, before they are sold.
When you get it to the market and sell it, you still have to pay taxes.
In this way, the harvest day for the vegetable farmers is a day without food, and they barely have enough soup and water to survive.
Take Mrs. Li’s husband’s family as an example. After finishing their work last year, they only had these two baskets of sweet potatoes left.
"Hey, I originally planned to keep these sweet potatoes as seeds, but I didn't expect...Hey, if it weren't for Dalang's medical treatment..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li coughed violently.
Qi Yue pinched her arm and checked her pulse, and found that she was severely beaten by the observation just now, so he quickly took out two blood-activating and Qi-gathering pills for her to take.
This medicine is Qi Yue's latest product.
It was originally prepared for Kurobaemon. After all, they were fighting with swords and swords all day long, so they needed this kind of medicine.
The effect is, of course, extremely good.
The pill not only contains white rhino blood, but also incorporates the active factors of undead insects. The effect is miraculous!
Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Li took the medicine, she became more energetic when speaking and became energetic.
"Little Master, what kind of medicine is this? It's so miraculous. I feel several years younger, old lady."
Qi Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
"Didn't I say that I am a doctor? Of course I have medicine."
Old Granny Li nodded repeatedly, shed tears again, and kept mumbling.
"Old lady, my life is good, my husband is also good, I have met my savior..."
While talking, they had already arrived in Qinghe Town.
Grandma Li's house is a row of simple adobe houses, with a vegetable patch in the yard.
Because it was early spring, the ground was still empty.
After entering the house and seeing the almost dying Li Dalang lying on the bed, Qi Yue understood why Granny Li was so secretive.
Li Dalang is in his late thirties, with rough skin and extremely thick bones in his arms and legs.
This is nothing, but he has old knife wounds and arrow wounds of varying degrees all over his body.
Who else but the sergeant would have such a wound?
In addition to this, Granny Li's reaction was also very suspicious.
Generally speaking, when veterans like Li Dalang return to their hometown with honor, the court will usually praise them and publicize them.
But Granny Li was obviously so secretive that she didn't even dare to tell the truth.
Qi Yue was a little suspicious. Li Dalang either had something to hide, or he had escaped from the army!
But this was a matter for the Nanyue court, and she didn't bother to care.
"Young master, if we can't save him, even if the old lady admits it, I also know that my eldest son... actually won't survive... wuwu... I just thought that I would take medicine and come back and let the child go. Feel more comfortable..."
Listening to Granny Li's mournful cries, Qi Yue couldn't bear it.
To be honest, Li Dalang was seriously injured.
I don’t know how he got home.
He had stab wounds all over his body, almost all the blood was flowing out of his body, and one of his lower leg bones was broken.
Qi Yue checked for a while and found that Li Dalang was breathing out too much and taking in too little air. He couldn't even open his eyelids.
Of course, as long as she takes action, someone can still be saved.
As long as she uses her priceless blood coagulation pills and the latest wound medicine, she will be better soon.
At this time, Zhao Tai came over and said softly.
"Master, this man has strong arms and slightly bent legs. He is a heavy crossbowman. He has at least fifteen years of military experience."
At this time, Li Dalang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly struggled and shouted.
"Mom... my son is... leaving... please take care..."
"Son..."
Granny Li screamed and threw herself in front of the bed.
Qi Yue's heart skipped a beat and she directly stuffed a blood coagulation pill into Li Dalang's mouth.
"Zhao Tai, pull your mother-in-law away!"
"Yes."
Thirteen silver needles were used to seal the major points all over Li Dalang's body, trembling and trembling, instantly activating the remaining vitality in his body.
After a cup of tea, Qi Yue pulled out the silver needle, and Li Dalang was able to open his eyes.
Seeing that the person was fine, Qi Yue brought some trauma medicine and asked Zhao Tai to clean and bandage it.
After learning that Li Dalang's life had been saved, Granny Li thanked her profusely and offered to kill the chicken for stew, but Qi Yue hurriedly refused.
She originally wanted to ask Li Dalang what was going on, but in the end she didn't ask.
Curiosity killed the cat, so she'd better mind her own business.
After returning to the inn, Zhao Chong had already investigated the matter of the official blocking the road to collect cash, and also obtained relevant information from the Rishengchang branch.
Qi Yue flipped through several reports that recorded the official and bank transfer reports of the Jimo government in the past five years, and was slightly shocked.
An ordinary branch manager of a bank account actually knows how to observe and record the trend of local money flow.
What a talent!
"Have these been collected by the shopkeeper of the Jimo branch of Rishengchang over the past few years?"
"Yes." Zhao Chong asked, "Is there any problem?"
Qi Yue shook her head silently and focused her thoughts on the information in front of her.
The Jimo local government amassed a large amount of money to repay the taxes owed to the imperial treasury?
Moreover, since the new emperor of Nanyue, Han Linghe, ascended the throne, the Jimo local government has increased taxes by 10%.
This year, the Jimo government has come up with all kinds of clever names and different ways to collect money.
What is strange is that the local treasury in Jimo, which has been amassing money like crazy, is still in deficit?
Everyone in the world knows that the former emperor of Nanyue paid special attention to business during his fifty years in power, and many big cities like Jimo prospered.
As a result, Nanyue's treasury was filled and it was known as the greatest treasury in the world.
It is precisely for this reason that Nanyue can always be in a dominant position among the Four Kingdoms and be proud of the world.
But now, he is so desperate to force the local government to pay the taxes he owes, without even caring about the people's livelihood. It seems like something only a brain-dead emperor would do.
But the reputation of Nanyue's new emperor doesn't seem to be bad!
Could it be that the Nanyue Imperial Court was not as strong as it seemed from the outside.
In other words, their treasury is empty?
Qi Yue was also amused by her sudden thoughts.
How can this be?
Nanyue is very powerful. Even if there have been changes in the past few years since the new emperor came to the throne, it is impossible for him to run out of money all of a sudden.
Qi Yue shook the paper in her hand and couldn't help laughing.
"Zhao Chong, this matter is a bit weird. Report these situations to your Lord Marquis and see what he thinks. In addition, ask Rishengchang's other branches in Nanyue to also pay attention to this news, especially Liangjiang area."
The Nanyue Liangjiang area is known as the Nanyue imperial court's money bag. If there is a problem with the Nanyue treasury, only this place can find out.
"Yes, I will go right away."
Zhao Chong responded, turned around and left, not wanting to be stopped by Qi Yue's call again.
"Wait, you come back first."
"Master, is there anything else you need to do for me?"
"Did you just say that the person who recorded these things was the shopkeeper of the Rishengchang branch?"
"Yes, his name is Xu You."
"This person can be of great use." Qi Yue said, handing several pieces of information in his hand to Zhao Chong, "Send this to your Lord Marquis as well."
"Yes." Zhao Chong was startled for a moment and immediately took it respectfully.
"Master, do you want to meet this person in advance?"
"No, your Lord Marquis has his own opinions on employment matters, I don't care." Qi Yue waved her hand lazily.
"Tell Qingzhu, I'm going to rest. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me."
"Yes, master."
Zhao Chong bowed and saluted, looking at Qi Yue's leaving figure with a smile on his lips.
——You say you don’t care, but in fact you are worried about it!
Now that the entire Longnan Prefecture is connected to Yecheng in the east, its size is no less than that of the Beiyuan Kingdom itself, and some official positions should also be assigned.
With such a master, the future for these little followers is bright!
