Ye Gucheng had never been so dazed in his life, he forgot to put away his sword, and stood there without moving.

Lin Mo coughed in embarrassment: "Then what, you move back, I'm afraid I'll crush you."

Vimana sank, and the shadow covering the sky and the sun was on the top of Ye Gucheng. He observed the approximate area and felt that if he retreated, he would definitely retreat a long way, and his movements were a little funny. He simply flew over, Set foot on this ship of gold.

Vimana fell to the ground with a crash.

"Who are you?" Ye Gucheng asked.

Lin Mo didn't know whether he was asking about her identity or the purpose of her visit. After thinking about it, he pondered, "I'm a good person."

She stared at the person in front of her, wearing a sandalwood beaded crown on her head, her face was very white, not the kind of paleness that never sees the sun, but like the lustrous luster of pearls in the sun, and her white clothes looked like the pearls in the sky. Tailored by Baiyun, he holds a sword in his hand, and he is putting the sword into its sheath.

As cold as a fairy.

Lin Mo is very reluctant to talk to such a person, and is easily nervous. When she is nervous, she likes to talk nonsense.

"Excuse me... this is Feixian Island, right?" The system navigation must be correct, but Lin Mo has to say something to ease the embarrassing situation.

"Yes."

"Hmm... I want to go to Baiyun City. You said, if I park the Vimana, which is the one you stepped on, it won't be stolen, right?"

Ye Gucheng looked down at the size of Vimana, and said expressionlessly: "No, no one can move it."

Lin Mo thought that was not necessarily the case. When she was poor and crazy, if someone gave her such a big lump of gold, she would have a way, even if she gnawed it back.

What's more, there is a large piece of emerald on it. If someone accidentally picks it up, she feels that she may not be able to suppress the anger of the King of Heroes.

"Can you come down first, I have to collect it."

Ye Gucheng jumped down, watching helplessly as the huge monster slowly disappeared in front of his eyes like blowing sand.

He asked, "What are you doing in Baiyun City?"

Lin Mo said: "This has nothing to do with you." Turning on the navigation, the system was planning a route, but the man in front of him suddenly said: "I am the Lord of Baiyun City."

Lin Mo paused: "You are Ye Gucheng?"

"You came to find me?"

Lin Mo fumbled in his sleeve, took out a letter with the official seal of the Ministry of Households, held it in his hand, and said, "Hey, look, this is a document issued by the Ministry of Households. It's business for me to find the city lord. You don't want it." Lied to me."

Ye Gucheng glanced at the letter and said lightly, "Follow me."

Baiyun City is very large and prosperous. It takes several hours to travel from the beach to the city. At the gate of the city, several young men in black uniforms were waiting. When they saw Ye Gucheng, they cupped their hands and said, "City Lord."

The horse on the side snorted.

Ye Gucheng said: "Look for a carriage."

The young man didn't ask what he was doing, and no one looked at Lin Mo more, and said "yes" with lowered eyes and cupped hands.

After a while, someone drove over with a carriage, Ye Gucheng raised his hand and said, "Please".

It may be that he has gotten used to training in recent days, and now Lin Mo wants to run when he sees the carriage.

She got into the carriage, and the horse neighed twice and began to canter.

She opened the car window and looked out. The streets in the city are wide and neat, with small stalls next to each other, and shops and restaurants next to each other. It is not worse than Tokyo City at all.

It should be a rich place.

After running for more than two hours, the carriage finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The mansion is low-key yet luxurious. The houses on the outside look old, and some are even dilapidated, but the interior decoration is elegant and elegant, especially because Baiyun City is located overseas, and the furnishings and layout of the houses are quite different from those popular in Tokyo. Take the tea set served by the maids as an example, the most expensive and popular one in Tokyo is Ru porcelain. I saw it when I was working in a restaurant. It will reflect the light of the rainbow, which is really beautiful.

From her inexperienced point of view, Liuli should be more expensive than Ruci.

Maybe she watched it for too long and focused too much, Ye Gucheng said: "If you like it, it's okay to give it to you."

Lin Mo immediately put down the cup.

I can't let this capitalist underestimate my proletarian integrity!

With integrity written all over her face, she took out the letter and said, "This is a tax payment document issued by the household department, please have a look at it." Lin Mo said, "I guess City Lord Ye should have prepared it?"

There is not much tax money, and the wealth of Baiyun City will never fail to pay.

Ye Gucheng opened the letter and glanced at it hastily, and said leisurely: "The tax bank has already been prepared, but it will take time to bring it from the warehouse, how about we wait while drinking tea?"

The color of the tea is golden, and as soon as it is poured out of the glazed jade pot, the fragrance of the tea can't wait to escape. It is fresh and cold, something Lin Mo has never smelled before.

The teacup touched his lips, and Lin Mo's hand stopped suddenly.

Ye Gucheng's eyes were also frozen.

"All the tax collectors delegated by the imperial court died on the road." The ruthless words suddenly rang in his ears, Lin Mo pursed his lips, and put down the teacup again.

It's not that she can't trust this cold and immortal city lord... Well, she just can't trust him. According to Wu Qing, for four years, six officials appointed by the imperial court went to Baiyun City to collect taxes. The money and people didn't come back, but they also sent arresters to investigate the case, but they all died in the gangsters' interception and killing, and the city owner was as innocent as a white lotus.

It's too coincidental, Lin Mo has been tricked by duplicity people too many times, so he has to be careful.

"Why don't you drink?" Ye Gucheng asked.

Lin Mo put down the teacup: "I'm not thirsty."

Ye Gucheng drank a cup lightly and said: "Tea is not for quenching thirst, it is a fool to drink tea when thirsty."

Lin Mo stared at his hands, drew circles with his fingers on the table, held back for a long time and said, "I... am allergic to tea."

Ye Gucheng turned his head, sneered and said, "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

"...a little bit."

After a while, more than a dozen young men came over carrying several boxes and placed them in the yard one by one.

Ye Gucheng got up and went out, Lin Mo followed behind.The servant cupped his hands and said, "City Master, this is the tax money for this year, and this is the general ledger."

Ye Gucheng took the account book and handed it to Lin Mo, and said coldly, "You'd better hurry up, and you'd better leave before noon."

"I'm not in a hurry." Lin Mo doesn't know how to look at the account books. He only knows that the imperial court's tax is a quarter of the entire annual livelihood of the people in a city. The tax collection books of the people in the city can fill a room, so there will be A general ledger recorded by a special person, she only needs to check that the last total on each page matches the final account.

Even if Lin Mo was not a science student, he would not make mistakes in addition and subtraction. After checking the calculation several times, he came up with the final amount, which totaled 120 taels of silver.

This is where Lin Mo is confused again. According to the historical knowledge she has learned, paying taxes in silver was first proposed by Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty. Before that, there were various types of taxes, including rice, cloth and meat. There are salted fish, such as folding color and fire consumption, pouring tip and kicking dendrobium, all of which are well-known means of embezzling taxes.

Lin Mo turned his head and asked one more question: "Who proposed the collection of tax silver?"

If the words "Zhang Juzheng" or "Zhang Shoufu" popped out of Ye Gucheng's mouth, Lin Mo could perform a three-view burst on the spot.

Fortunately, Ye Gucheng didn't, he said he didn't know either.

After finishing the calculation, Lin Mo went to look at the silver, which was a decent snowflake silver with excellent quality.

"Go get the scales."

The boy was taken aback.

Lin Mo was also a little stunned, and said blankly, "What's wrong?"

The young man smiled and said: "Look, this silver is a whole ingot, one piece is ten taels, no scale is needed."

Lin Mo looked at Ye Gucheng, and said sadly: "In the past, when officials came to collect taxes, were they all so sloppy? Just take a look and take them away?" She felt that she was fooling enough, how could the serious tax collectors be more sloppy than her?

In modern times, even a bank deposit of 8000 yuan has to be counted one by one.

There's something wrong with this world designation.

Ye Gucheng's eyes were as cold as cold stars, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Go get the scale."

The boy over there went to get the scale, and Lin Mo here poured out the silver box by box, and looked at it one by one. After reading two boxes, he saw the problem.

The same white silver, the same size, but some are light and some are heavy.

Lin Mo frowned, pinching the two pieces of silver together with his fingers, one remained unchanged, while the other was deeply sunken.

It is tin.

She showed the tin to Ye Gucheng, and said on her face that I read too much and you are not as smart as me.

Ye Gucheng's sword was behind him, slowly unsheathed.

The sword light is like a rainbow.

Lin Mo thought, should she open the gate of Babylon and launch the King's Treasure, or be more simple and just look at the sword?
