Starting from Xiaoao Jianghu and crossing the heavens

Chapter 14 Dock Castle
This fat rich man was dressed luxuriously, and seemed to have a lot of status. His gestures were clearly different from the villagers who were doing rough work around him.

He smiled enthusiastically at Yi Peng, with a smile on his fat face, and introduced himself: "I am Kuai Yue, a local member of staff, and the young man looked at him, who knows where?"

Yuanwai means the landlord and squire.

That is to say, the Kuaiyue in front of me has quite a lot of property in his family, and his family is rich.

And it is.

Kuaiyue is the richest man in Dapingtou Village, most of the fertile land in the village belongs to him.

He did not cultivate these fertile fields himself, but leased them to the villagers, making the villagers all become his tenants, farming and working for him.

Almost [-]% of the tenant's annual harvest was handed over to him as rent, and the remaining [-]%, except for the grain for the next year's seeds, was not much left.

This little food is enough for these tenants to barely survive.

If it was a good harvest year, the tenants could still have a full mouthful of food, but once they encountered a famine and had no surplus food to store, they could only go up the mountain to gnaw bark, or starve to death.

The smell of rich wine and meat, the frozen bones on the road, are vividly expressed here.

However, regardless of Kuaiyue's superficially beautiful scenery, great family business, and extremely rich people, he also has his troubles.

In this world, when you have some scarce resources, people will miss you, and even deliberately try to snatch the scarce resources from you.

These scarce resources, including rich wealth, or beautiful beauties...

Kuai Yue is very rich, but because of this, he also knows very well that his wealth is very much missed by others.

Today's Daqian Dynasty is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the interior has already become a mess.

The emperor has not been in court for many years, and the government has been abandoned. The officials formed cliques and acted independently. At the same time, outside the court, in the poor mountains and rivers, bandits and robbers swarmed up, messing up the entire empire. Faintly, it is about to fall apart the trend of.

It really complied with that sentence, the general trend of the world, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term union must be divided.

The Daqian Dynasty seems to have reached its twilight years.

In order to protect their own safety and wealth from robbers, these rich and powerful people especially like to make friends with martial arts practitioners, and even raise thugs and guard their homes.

At the same time, they also like to hire capable warriors at high prices to teach their children, hoping that their children can become warriors and honor their ancestors.

Obviously, Yi Peng's previous performance caught the attention of this rich gentleman.

It is impossible for Yi Peng to say that he is from time travel, not from this world.

So, he said nonsense: "I'm a villager from a nearby village. Because the village was attacked by bandits, they fled here and passed out in the deep mountains. Fortunately, Miss Ah Qing saw her and rescued her."

It turned out to be the case.

Kuai Yue didn't have any doubts about Yi Peng's remarks.

Getting hit by bandits is nothing new.

Nowadays, the world is getting more and more chaotic, and even near Dapingtou Village, it is said that a group of bandits came recently, entrenched in the deep mountains of Dalaoling, and set up camp.

I don't know when these bandits will come to their village to hunt grass and grain and ask for food.

Kuai Yue was worried that his village would also be robbed, so he wanted to make friends with some kung fu masters and raise them in the manor to protect his life.

At this time, he took a fancy to Yi Peng.

"The hero came here for the first time, and it really made our village flourish. If the hero doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to my manor and have a drink or two, and let me be a landlord?" Kuai Yue said to Yi Peng, with words Very polite, quite a bit of the demeanor of the ancient Mengchang Jun Lixian Corporal.

Yi Peng was fine, and the thatched hut of Ah Qing's house was leaking everywhere, and the straw mat was so hard that it hurt people, making him who was used to sleeping on a soft bed a long time ago very uncomfortable. He also thought about changing a place to live. , and by the way, let Ah Qing and her grandfather move out together so that they can live more comfortably. Therefore, Yi Peng nodded and agreed to Kuai Yuanwai's invitation.

However, he proposed that Ah Qing and her grandfather go together.

Kuai Yuanwai readily agreed.

Yi Peng's character of knowing kindness and repaying it made him appreciate it a lot, and his attitude towards Yi Peng became more and more enthusiastic.

Kuai Yuanwai likes people who know how to repay their kindness, because such people can be used by him after a little win over.

Dapingtou Village is not rich. Most of the villagers along the way live in simple huts, and there are very few earthen houses, let alone stone houses, or even brick houses.

However, when they came to Kuai Yuanwai's manor, Yi Peng was shocked by the wealth in front of him.

I saw that the manor Kuai Yuanwai mentioned was not so much a manor, but more like a well-defended fortress.

The entire dock is circular, and the walls are made of huge stones, which are very strong.

The wall is very high, about three or four meters. This scale is already a simplified version of the city wall.

On the top of the wall, there are also four arrow towers, which are distributed in four directions: east, west, north, south.

These arrow towers have both the functions of sentry and arrow towers.

Good guy, he deserves to be the number one gentry and rich man in Dapingtou Village. This mighty and domineering stone fort is in stark contrast to the low thatched houses around.

Entering the Wubao, Yi Peng was also dazzled by the scene inside.

The area of ​​Wubao is vast, comparable to a castle. The huge stone warehouses are filled with enough food and grains. These grains are enough for everyone in Wubao to eat for several years.

In addition, there are houses one after another, which are located in the entire dock.

These houses are the houses of the people in Wubao.

These houses do not look luxurious, but there are so many houses, it is also a very grand project.

According to preliminary estimates, there are at least a hundred people living in the entire Wubao.

Moreover, there are more women than men, and there are many young maids and dancers shuttling among them.

From this point of view, this Yuanwai not only has a great family and career, but is also a person who likes to enjoy life.

Kuai Yuanwai ordered the kitchen to immediately prepare a sumptuous banquet, and at the same time showed Yi Peng around his Wubao.

During the conversation, Yi Peng learned that this Kuai member actually had ten wives and concubines.

In addition, he also bought a lot of singers and dancers from outside for his enjoyment.

This picture of the luxurious and corrupt life of the rich makes Yi Peng speechless.

The villagers outside have nothing to eat, and they can't even eat enough, but here, they embrace each other, and there are groups of wives and concubines. The gap between people is really big enough.

The two walked around, and suddenly, Yi Peng heard the sound of weapons colliding, as if someone was fighting ahead...
