One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 225

Lu Jian was confused when he heard this.

He felt that his previous experience might be false, otherwise he didn't know why Yan Qingzhi said these things.

"Female? How is that possible?"

After Yan Qingzhi twisted her clothes a few times, she stood up again.

"It's impossible. Martial arts practitioners have to be stronger. She is still young, so she can still pretend. However, she is 14 years old, and she won't be able to pretend for long. Without us, She is also ready to find a chance to do it."

Lu Jian was shocked. He had never heard of such a thing. The most outrageous thing he saw last time was Yan Qingzhu disguised as a woman.

"Then...then you..."

He had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether he asked or not.

Even if the other party is a woman, it has nothing to do with them. The person has already run away, and he will definitely be able to hide further if he changes to women's clothes. It is better for him to worry about himself when he has the time.

Not long ago, he watched the siblings slaughter a lot of people.And he himself was beaten again, and even this kind of life doesn't know when it will be a head...

But I don't know what's going on, it seems that such exciting and free days have been spent too much. Lu Jian has a feeling hidden in the depths and ashamed to open it up. He always feels that the ordinary days before are a little boring.

Yan Qingzhi didn't know what he was thinking, and continued.

"It just so happens that I have a secret from her, and she is willing to cooperate with me. We hit it off and we arranged a game according to what the shopkeeper wanted."

"Actually, if the bearded man hadn't been too careful, we could have killed all the people in the inn. However, the little girl had been squatting for months and couldn't do anything. I was afraid of stunning the snake, so I asked Qingzhu to kill everyone. Expenses go."

"After all, we are few people, and we are not familiar with this place. If there are six or seventy people together, although we can't hurt us, but they really want to run, and I can't stop them. If someone does slip away, there will be no time to ask questions later. gone."

Lu Jian was still silent, Yan Qingzhi glanced at him after speaking, and continued to speak when he saw that he had slipped away.

After a short silence, Yan Qingzhu stood up.

"Almost there, let's go!"

After hearing this, Jun Tongyue immediately stood up, and after a few people packed up and cleaned up the traces, they set off together.

After the purpose was clear, several people stopped living in the inn.

Moreover, the style of the inn at the back began to become more and more strange.

In the past, they only heard that the Yunhaizhou side was more chaotic, and they always felt that the chaos was far away from a few people.

Lu Jian is a son, and the world he sees is what others want him to see.

The Yan family siblings and Jun Tongyue, although they have suffered, but in their memory, their understanding of chaos is also very simple.

The most dangerous thing Yan Qingzhi has ever experienced is being assassinated, and the most traumatic thing is being abandoned.

But she lives in a legal society after all, and her understanding of chaos is based on what she sees and knows.

Da Zhao's official governance is fairly clear, although there are still many corrupt officials, but it has not reached the point where the people at the bottom have nowhere to appeal. Yan Qingzhi has lived here for many years, and he has seen a lot of injustices, but it is true. There are very few people who are forced to survive.

So she always thought that, being an ordinary person here, she should still be able to have enough food and clothing...

This kind of thought began to waver until she went further south, and when she reached the territory of Ikai River, she saw another scene.

The land here is fertile and the rain is abundant. Although there are many mountains, Da Zhao's farmer is not a decoration. There are already many plans for how to plant in the mountains reasonably. There are even agricultural jobs that specialize in this area. The imperial court is in charge of affairs, this is definitely not the barren scene that Yan Qingzhi and the others have seen.

Lu Jian didn't feel anything, but Jun Tongyue stomped his feet regretfully.

The Yan family also owns land, and there are several tenants who help to grow crops. Because the Yan family has a small population, they do not lack food and clothing, and they do not rely on them to make money, so the ground rent they receive on weekdays is not high, only about [-]%. Half of it, every year there are still a lot of surplus grain sold to the storekeeper Zhang Qian and their family.

In fact, it's not only her who does this, the people around them also charge similar rents.

Of course, there are also [-]% to [-]% received, but such people will not speak out.

So in Yan Qingzhi's impression, if you can get [-]% of the rent, it will be very cruel, and if you get [-]% of the rent, it will be a little immoral.

After all, farming is not for nothing. In addition to the taxes and grains that must be turned over to the court every year, there are also seeds, manure, water, etc., which all require money. Although these expenditures are not too much, they are not too small. Add up the pieces, and if the rent reaches [-]%, the tenants below are basically living and clothing.

But just at the end of the Ikai River, the ground rent is basically about [-]%.

Moreover, the land here is basically in the hands of gangs, and ordinary people can only return to plant it as a tenant.

To sow is to die, and to sow is to live barely.

Yan Qingzhi was still complacent on the road, thinking that his clothes were finally unified with the people here, but who knows, when he arrived at Haichuan, he found that a piece of clothes is rare for ordinary people, where can you wear it as good as them.

The people here are all hungry and their bones are light, with the dusty rags and the thin faces that are dark and shiny...

It is in stark contrast to the appearance of Yan Qingzhi and his party.

Yan Qingzhi rode a tall horse and passed in front of these people. These people did not pay any attention to Yan Qingzhi, but they were drooling over those horses.

Their eyes made Yan Qingzhi extremely uncomfortable, and she always wanted to escape as soon as possible.

Yan Qingzhi didn't think that these people were rude and lacking in quality, but she just felt that they were also human beings living under the same sky, with such a huge difference in life, but she had no way to help or change them.

Her ability alone is very small, and even if she wants to do something, it is difficult to do it.

Although she came from a later age, she didn't think that she could change the world.

These people have had a difficult time, but she dared not give them the slightest alms, money or food. These things may become an opportunity for them to develop, or it may just be a dinner for the whole family, and it may become a meal for the whole family. A reminder.

This is not what Yan Qingzhi imagined.

Because she saw with her own eyes that a child was squatting behind a big rock and eating steamed buns, when a man suddenly rushed over, raised a stone by the side of the road and smashed it at the child.

If it wasn't for Yan Qingzhi's efforts to stop him, looking at the man's strength, the child who ate the buns would definitely have been killed by him on the spot.

But the child was rescued, but she didn't know what to do with the adult.

The other party hugged his head and cried bitterly, saying that he also had children at home and could not eat for several days.

Yan Qingzhi wanted to say that it wouldn't hurt other people's lives, but she didn't say a word when she looked at the man's grief and cries.
