This voice is too familiar.
Lin Si couldn't help but be stunned, because it was his mother's voice. Could it be that his mother didn't agree, so it was troublesome.
He and Yin Jiu exchanged glances. Yin Jiu shook her head and sighed: "You go back, I will go down the mountain alone."
"Uncle, I'm the only one now. Please ensure safety." Yin Jiu felt even more uneasy and said to Wang Yunhua.
"Uncle, of course I promise." Wang Yunhua smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, someone stopped on the way. He patted Yin Jiu on the shoulder and said, "You are very brave. The price will increase by one cent, four cents per catty."
Yin Jiu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was relatively strong and could carry 150 kilograms without any problem. He could earn a tael of silver this time.
Hearing that the price had risen again, Lin Si became anxious and said to the Lin family's wife: "Mother, the price has risen, and I have to go down the mountain."
"It just so happens that your father is worried about you, so let's go down the mountain to accompany you." Mrs. Lin couldn't help but said with joy when she heard that the price had increased again.
She originally asked Lin Changfu to go down the mountain to accompany her son, but she didn't expect that Wang Yunhua would increase the price by one cent after what she just said.
At this time, she pushed Lin Changfu's shoulder, gave him the burden and said, "The price has gone up, why don't the officials go quickly?"
"If you don't go, why should I go?" Seeing Lin Changfu's hesitation, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but get furious.
Lin Changfu looked at his son, then at his wife, gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to carry the monster taro down the mountain.
The others looked at these three people. Although they were moved, after thinking about it, their lives were still at stake. Some picked up the burden and then put it down.
They discussed it and decided that it would be worthwhile for the three representatives to go down the mountain to find out.
About an hour and a half later, Wang Yunhua said it.
It was almost dark here at the foot of the mountain, and it was obviously impossible to go back.
There is indeed a large warehouse or workshop at the foot of the mountain, estimated to be no less than a hundred acres.
They couldn't help but be surprised, what would they do with such a big warehouse or workshop?
Lin Changfu and his son and Yin Jiu were surprised.
I'm happy that my suspicions have been basically eliminated now, because I really didn't see any Hu people, and there were Song people everywhere who spoke Sichuan accent.
Moreover, Wang Yunhua was indeed true to his word and bought their picky yams for four cents per catty as promised.
Lin Si and his son got 300 kilograms, which was sold for a total of 1,200 cash. Yin Jiu also got 600 cash, which made the three of them smile from ear to ear.
Surprisingly, the three of them cannot go back at night. What should they do?
Of course Wang Yunhua knew what they were thinking, and said: "It's getting late now. We can't go back tonight, so let's stop here. Everyone smells bad, so take a shower first." He smelled the sweat on his body and laughed. stand up.
After saying that, he arranged for someone to boil water so that the three of them finally took a hot bath.
Here, the conditions are indeed better than those on the mountain, but an unexpected thing happened.
While the three of them were taking a shower, they heard their stomachs growling and couldn't help but look at each other awkwardly.
The key is that this is neither an inn nor a restaurant. What should I do?
Seeing the three people coming out, Wang Yunhua nodded and ordered the meal to be served.
Lin Changfu hurriedly declined, saying that he had already troubled Wang Yunhua enough and there was no need to eat here.
They are all honest villagers and are afraid of trouble others.
"You are all guests, so naturally I am treating you to a casual meal." Wang Yunhua said with a smile, which moved the three of them.
When the three of them came to the dining table, they were stunned. How could this be a casual meal?
They have never eaten such delicious food during the Chinese New Year. Not only is there fragrant rice, but there is also some fragrant meat and some unspeakable dishes.
What is this? Although it is like water, it has a strong aroma of wine.
They only drink wine during the Chinese New Year, and it is rice wine. Not to mention it is turbid and not good to drink.
While Wang Yunhua kept picking up the meat with chopsticks, he introduced that it was twice-cooked pork, roasted pork, roasted duck with fairy taro tofu, fairy taro cold noodles, pickled fairy taro, fairy taro tofu and so on.
They really didn’t treat us as outsiders. The three of us were crying while eating.
They were just a bunch of untouchables in the mountains. They didn't expect that untouchables like us could also enjoy such divine delicacies here.
After feeling full, Wang Yunhua raised his glass and said, "This is fine wine, fragrant and refreshing. Drink!"
The three of them drank it, and the strong aroma of wine suddenly spread from their stomachs, throats, mouths, and noses.
There is no harm without comparison. What kind of wine was it before? Is horse urine good?
Sure enough, it was a fine wine that only gods could drink. I smacked some of it in excitement, it was so enjoyable.
While the three of them were eating, they felt that it would be worth dying to be able to eat these delicacies in this life.
While Lin Changfu was eating meat, he suddenly thought of a question: "Has the village owner ever eaten these meat and wine?"
"Only you can eat these meats. The village owner may not be able to eat them because he doesn't have a chef." Wang Yunhua said while picking up the meat for them, "You can buy wine."
It turns out that they enjoy higher treatment than the village owner. Who are these people? They actually gave such high treatment to the three of them.
Lin Changfu suddenly thought of a legend, that is, decapitation rice, and his face changed drastically.
He suddenly put down his job, knelt down to Wang Yunhua and said, "Master Wang, are there still barbarians?"
Wang Yunhua couldn't help being shocked. Lin Changfu had eaten well, why did he suddenly kneel down and ask himself if there were any barbarians?
"No, all the Hu people have been wiped out. Mr. Lin can rest assured to eat." Wang Yunhua hurriedly pulled Lin Changfu up from the ground.
Lin Changfu shook his head and said in a sad voice: "Then why do we have to eat our heads off?"
Yin Jiu and Lin Si were eating happily when they suddenly heard this and turned pale.
They also put down their jobs and kowtowed to Wang Yunhua like garlic.
Wang Yunhua and several others hurriedly stepped forward to help the three of them up, and said kindly: "This is not the case at all. There is raw meat in the decapitation rice. Take a look, is there any raw meat?"
The three of them got up in a hurry and looked at their bowls repeatedly. Sure enough, there was no raw meat, and they were finally relieved.
"Master Wang, I'm just a few villagers in the village. Why do I eat better than the village owner?" Lin Changfu still didn't believe Wang Yunhua's words and asked with a frown.
"Because you are the first batch of villagers who dare to come down from the mountain, you deserve to be treated with delicious food based on your courage." Wang Yunhua said the reason why he treated them with delicious food.
Lin Changfu repeatedly looked at the food on the table and said: "The food on this table is so delicious that even the village owner cannot enjoy it. Even if you are a humble person with courage, how rare is it worth spending such a large price to treat?" His eyes were full of doubts.
"To be honest, we are from the government." Wang Yunhua now felt that it was time to get straight to the point.
Lin Changfu looked at Wang Yunhua again and saw that they were in brown clothes and short sleeves, and they did not look like people from the government.
He hesitated and asked: "Song government or Hu people's government?" This must be clarified.
"Of course it is the Song Dynasty government. If it were the Hu people's government, how could they be so polite to you." Wang Yunhua explained.
"Then why is Mr. Wang dressed the same as us?" Lin Changfu asked doubtfully after looking at Wang Yunhua's and his own clothes.
This is indeed the case. Wang Yunhua explained: "I went up the mountain to inquire about the news. If we don't dress up as businessmen, will the villagers arrest us as barbarians?"
Lin Changfu thought for a while, looking a little confused, but finally nodded.
"Perhaps you don't know, the village has deliberately hidden you, just because they don't want the government to know." Wang Yunhua continued to explain, "So they treat outsiders as barbarians."
Wang Yunhua saw Lin Changfu's doubtful eyes and said, "Don't you have heavy taxes in the mountains?"
This is a test question. If the village owner does not allow the villagers to come down from the mountain, he should pay a lot of taxes.
"It's 30% when the weather is good, and it's 20% when the weather is bad." Lin Changfu felt a little uncomfortable. This touched on his pain point, "But there are no taxes and no protection fees."
Wang Yunhua shook his head, sighed and said: "The tax has just been renamed. The tax in the Song Dynasty is only 10%."
Lin Changfu did not expect that the official tax of the Song Dynasty would be reduced by half compared with before.
"Now that the government has just been established, in order to encourage you to come back, all men, women, old and young will be allocated five acres of land, and will be exempted from taxes for the first three years." Wang Yunhua saw his doubtful eyes and continued.
Lin Changfu and the other two people couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect that the government would be so favorable.
"Three years of tax exemption, what will the government do?" Lin Changfu thought of it and asked.
It can't be to defraud us. When we come down from the mountain, the tax will be even worse than that of the cottage.
When Wang Yunhua saw the doubtful looks in the three people's eyes, he would naturally become suspicious. This must be explained clearly.
"What you just ate like jelly wine, roasted duck with taro and tofu, cold taro noodles, sauerkraut and taro, and taro tofu. Do you know what they are made of?" Wang Yunhua asked.
The three of them thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason, so they could only shake their heads.
"Doesn't it taste good?" Wang Yunhua asked instead of answering their questions.
"Of course it's delicious. It can be said that it's delicious." The three people expressed their opinions hurriedly.
Wang Yunhua finally told them the answer: "They are all made from monster taro."
"That's it." The three of them looked at each other in shock.
They never expected that the demon taro, which was so inconspicuous on the mountain, could be of such great use.
"The government has already set up a fairy taro workshop and a fine wine and jade liquid workshop here." Wang Yunhua looked at the three of them and told the whole story, "With these workshops, the government can temporarily exempt from your taxes."
"But the government also needs money to run workshops. Where does this money come from? It seems that it cost a lot of money to buy these monster yams today." Lin Changfu nodded first, and suddenly thought of another question.
After all, he has rich experience and can think of a key issue.
"Well said, this is jointly organized by the government and Zhaojiazhuang. Zhaojiazhuang has turned Jintang County and Changyuan County into a paradise on earth, and now plans to turn Lingquan County into a paradise on earth." Wang Yunhua explained.
Is Zhaojiazhuang really so powerful? They are isolated in the mountains, so naturally they don't know Zhaojiazhuang.
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads. They had never heard of Zhaojiazhuang and they would not make up lies.
