little fool's child bride
Chapter 207
Baiyu Kingdom's army implements the field system, that is to say, it mainly takes care of its own fields in leisure time, and then prepares to go to the field in wartime.This is also the helpless move of Baiyu Kingdom. After all, the three countries are peaceful on the surface and can no longer be peaceful, but in fact there are turbulent undercurrents, and they are on guard against each other.Therefore, the Baiyu Kingdom has not been able to let the soldiers disarm and return to their hometowns after the battles like before; instead, they have stationed troops to raise troops, just in case a war suddenly breaks out.Half of Baiyu Kingdom's annual financial expenditure is spent on armaments, especially after the release of Liannu and Bird Gun, but this is still unable to support the 60 garrisons in the country, so this system can only be adopted, hoping to reduce some military spending.For example, the garrison in Xiangcheng almost contracted most of the farmland outside the city, otherwise the 20 garrison would not be easy to support.
But farming alone is not enough. After all, it takes at least one season for the crops to mature, and what they grow is not enough for them to eat.Therefore, most of the general soldiers will start some other businesses, such as banks, gambling houses and the like. The money comes quickly and they don't need their background, so they are not afraid of others looking for trouble when they do these things.This is what Jiang Muyu saw in the fake account book before, and this person is a branch of Wangcheng Bai's family, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.But now the few pages he is holding in his hand contain the shocking secret that they secretly sent the weapons to Changqing.
"No wonder they don't welcome us. It turns out that they are afraid that this kind of thing will be exposed." Wu Lin excitedly repeated what he saw, "Fortunately, they haven't used the crossbow yet, otherwise we will be beaten by them first when we arrive at the battlefield." Poco is miserable!"
Wu Sen gave him a headache, and then said helplessly: "So every time you are asked to train, you still mutter? You must know that we can't always be better than other people's weapons, so we can't just rely on our hands. The guys here have to improve their own level."
Wu Lin pouted and muttered a few words in a low voice. Seeing Jiang Muyu studying the papers with concentration, he curled his lips and said, "These things can't be used as excuses. If we want to talk, we have to go to Ruyifang to find out. In order to find some more evidence to accuse him of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country."
Ruyifang is the place where they discussed in the letter.This time he was going to steal things directly, so he had to choose a time when the defense was weak, so Jiang Muyu took out a 500 tael silver note to Wu Lin, asking him to find out the situation first, and wait until the night before stealing.Naturally, Wu Lin took the bank note and went out happily. After all, Jiang Muyu had always been generous to them, and the 500 taels was given to him, and he didn't have to return it even if he couldn't spend it all.As he walked towards the bank to exchange some silver, he was thinking about how much silver he would keep as his wife's capital this time.After the 500 taels of silver bills turned into four 100 taels of silver bills and 100 taels of silver, he hummed a little tune and walked to the busiest teahouse in Dongshi City.
Since Xiao Xiao suggested to Liu Ziming that the state control the gaming industry, all the gambling houses have to apply for qualification certificates, otherwise they will be shut down directly, and all property will be confiscated by the way.There may be big bosses behind those big gambling houses, but in this ancient times, is there anyone more tyrannical than the emperor?Moreover, this qualification certificate is a drop in the bucket compared to the future profits, so almost all the gambling houses on the bright side have bought this qualification certificate, so as to avoid the government looking for trouble.But once the qualification certificate is hanged, it is impossible for the gambling house to set up tricks to cheat money or threaten the gamblers to pay off their debts. Otherwise, it will cost thousands of silver to be accused to the government, which is really heartbreaking.So that kind of gambling shop that specializes in deceiving people is not willing to apply for a license at all, but puts gambling in the dark, and operates other businesses on the surface.
This kind of gambling house is not open like ordinary gambling houses, you can play a few games when you come, and get out if you have no money.They must be taken with them, otherwise they will not be able to find where they are.Ruyifang was like this, so he planned to go to the well-informed teahouse to find out, maybe he could meet a guide by chance.So he spoke with an Ancheng accent, chatting with other people in the teahouse enthusiastically.
"Little brother, are you from Ancheng?"
Wu Lin had been sitting in the teahouse for almost an hour, when suddenly a man with honest appearance appeared and approached him warmly.
"I'm also from Ancheng, and we're fellow villagers!" The man claimed to be surnamed Xu, and talked to Wu Lin, from the changes in Ancheng to the difficulty of working in Mingcheng.However, talking and talking revealed his real purpose, pulling Wu Lin to bring him to meet other fellow villagers, saying that he would introduce him to some jobs.
"It's not easy for us to come out, and the villagers have to take care of each other." Xu Haifeng smiled as amiably as the elders in the family. "Didn't you say that you are new here and haven't found a job yet? You can't do what we do, but our brother A few of them are well-informed, and you can find out where there is a lack of people when you ask back. It’s not a problem for you to stay in the inn all the time, why don’t you go to live with brother first, and then leave after you find a place to stay. "
Wu Lin pretended to be grateful, and pretended to show a few broken pieces of silver inadvertently. After seeing the greed in Xu Haifeng's eyes, he quietly raised the corners of his mouth.Although he is young, he has experienced many nasty things. Those who ask for help in the name of fellow villagers are usually liars.Some of them lure people to their residences to kill and steal money, and some of them set up tricks to make you gamble. Generally speaking, once you go there, the end will not be too good.The former lost his life, while the latter was worse than death.Wu Lin followed Xu Haifeng, looked at the callus on his left hand, and wondered whether this person was the former or the latter.
Just treat it as killing harm for the people.Wu Lin thought in his heart.
The two walked for almost half an hour, Xu Haifeng took Wu Lin further and further away, and Wu Lin became more and more vigilant.Turning and turning, the two finally stopped at the back door of a courtyard. Xu Haifeng looked around for a while, and opened the door when no one saw it.Wu Lin's hand slowly touched the dagger hidden in his waist. At this moment, Xu Haifeng opened his mouth, leading Wu Lin into the room, and said in a low voice:
"This is where I work. There is a coffin seller in front, so we usually don't go through the front. My brothers and I live in this backyard house. The boss said that the house is empty anyway, so it's better to rent it." Go out and make some money..."
Wu Lin entered the room and saw that it was indeed the case. There were three beds in a small room, and it was packed to the brim.Xu Haifeng called the two people lying on the bed to come down, and then poured Wu Lin a glass of water.
"I don't drink water anymore. I just drank several pots in the teahouse." Wu Lin waved his hands embarrassedly, but he was afraid that this person had drugged the water. I can't hold it anymore."
Xu Haifeng kindly pointed him to the small room on the other side of the yard. After watching Wu Lin go in, he excitedly said to the other two sleepy-eyed people: "This time it's a fat sheep! There are at least 50 people on him. two!"
In ancient times, ordinary people could spend a year with two taels of silver. What is the concept of the 50 taels that Wu Lin carried?The eyes of the other two lit up instantly, they stopped dozing off and kept looking at the hut.Xu Haifeng was also happy to see that the two were in good spirits, so when Wu Lin came in again, he saw the three people in high spirits, and the hungry sight made him shudder.
"Why have you been here for so long, I almost thought you ran away!" Xu Haifeng reached out to take his bag, and said with a smile, "Go and sit on the bed. After walking for so long, your feet may also be sore."
Wu Lin looked at Xu Haifeng with moved eyes: "Brother Xu is so kind to us, why would he run away? He just went to squat for a while. After all, all the food here in Mingcheng is noodles, and we are not used to it when we first came... ..."
"That's right, Ancheng has always eaten rice." Xu Haifeng did not doubt him, and put all his attention on Wu Lin's money, "I was not used to it when I first came here, but after eating for a long time, I also feel Give it some flavor."
Wu Lin repeatedly said yes, and the other two also began to teach him their own experience, talking about the delicious food in Mingcheng.It was almost noon at this time, and it happened that several people hadn't had lunch yet, so Xu Haifeng took everyone to the restaurant in the coffin shop to have a meal, saying that it was Wu Lin's lunch.Wu Lin naturally expressed his gratitude and emotion again, and then said that he would hang out with Brother Xu in the future.In the afternoon, one of the three said that they were going out to ask Wu Lin about work, while the other two took out a deck of cards, saying that the three of them were playing to pass the time.
"This is a playing card invented by Mr. Xiao, have you seen it?" The man took out a deck of playing cards, "We don't play big ones, just a few pennies per game."
Wu Lin thought to himself that they really came, and these people seem to be the kind of people who set up schemes to cheat money.He said that a game only costs a dozen taels, but his 50 taels might not last an afternoon.After he ran out of 50 taels, these people would find a reason to drive him out. At that time, he might report to the officials and no one would care.One is that the government has no control over gambling in private, and the other is that he has no evidence. After all, no one has seen him come in this way.So in the end, most of the people who are cheated will either die or go crazy. After all, how many people can live on that little money!
Wu Lin agreed with a smile, but he was thinking about how to deal with these three people.It might be useless to hand it over to the government. Wu Lin was wondering if he would have a bad day, tie up the three of them and put them in the downtown area at night, and hang a sign on his chest to write about the bad things they did.When he got up the next day, someone who was cheated would definitely find them, and then he would watch from the sidelines and return the money that Xu Haifeng and others had collected to the cheated people.
After thinking about the basic steps in his mind, Wu Lin played poker with the two of them leisurely.Anyway, he would get the money back sooner or later, so after earning more than a dozen pennies, he pretended to be excited and suggested to the two of them: "It's too small to play, it's not fun! How about we play one game or two?"
But farming alone is not enough. After all, it takes at least one season for the crops to mature, and what they grow is not enough for them to eat.Therefore, most of the general soldiers will start some other businesses, such as banks, gambling houses and the like.
