Chapter 120 How much is the price of human life

Many days later, Lin Yang entrusted Ma Peng, Wang Chang, Qin Yuan, Yi Shang, and Zheng Wei with the full power of the daily operation of the hot spring village. He set off from the hot spring village with a hundred soldiers and rushed over Helan Mountain before the mountain was covered by heavy snow. , Came to Lingzhou City, an important imperial town in Helan Mountain East, and the old nest of the Dong family in Lingzhou.

The guards at the city gate inspected the golden and jade-embedded identity badge of the superior Lin family in the empire, and politely sent Lin Zhizhai into the city.

Lin Yang entered the city, and slowly drove the chasing wind black Wanli dragon colt on the streets of the city, looking around for something.

"Yunji, why did you come all the way to Lingzhou? It's best to sit in the village during this period of time, in case the iron man invades, and the whole village has no leader." Zhang Cai, who was bearded and smeared, was puzzled asked.

"Also, do I have to dress up like this when I come to Lingzhou? I don't even recognize myself. Am I wanted?"

Lin Yang didn't answer anything: "Why do you ask so many questions? Since you are willing to come with me, you must listen to me and just follow me."

Lin Yang has not told Zhang Cai that there is a kind old man named Liang Ji in the capital, who is looking forward to her return.

What a bad guy.

Zhang Cai sighed, she felt abnormal, but Lin Yang just didn't explain it, the more he didn't explain it, the more suspicious Zhang Cai became.Also, when Ye Lixiao gave up on himself, it was because he was too sad and didn't pursue it. Looking at it now, is it really because of Princess Zhao?Then what did Tan Yang say to Huang Mao?
Just as he was thinking, he didn't notice that an idler carrying a shoulder pole and a straw hat walked by him. He caught a glimpse of Zhang Cai inadvertently, and his shrewd pupils hidden under the straw hat couldn't help shrinking.

【Those eyes! ! ! 】

The idler turned his head, the street was already covered with dust from horseshoes
After walking two or three streets, Lin Yang finally found the destination of his trip - an ordinary business house in Lingzhou City.In Zhang Cai's eyes, this shop is the same as most of the shops in the city. There is nothing commendable, and there is nothing terrible. kind.

The only difference is the lantern hanging on the pole in front of the gate. There is a striking logo on the paper of the lantern. It is a rectangular "climbing tiger", which is the family crest of the Lin family in Qinzhou.

The shop is the shop of the Lin family. As soon as he entered the lobby, Lin Yang chatted with the owner of the shop who welcomed him. Lin Yang is from Lingnan, and the owner of the shop is also from Lingnan. There is no question of how to speak Qinzhou dialect.Zhang Caili was eavesdropping on the sidelines, and there were constant chugging and gurgling sounds in his ears, and he had no idea what the hell they were talking about.
"Lin Bo, I need grain, a lot of grain, how much can you get now?" Lin Yang asked, "It doesn't have to be wheat or this year's new wheat, as long as it is grain, it can be aged for one year or two years. Acceptable, let it be old for three years.”

Lin Bowen said: "My lord, the frontiers are not as good as the inland areas. Even if you have money, it is very difficult to get tens of thousands of shi grains. However, there are still some grains circulating in the prefecture market at the Zhou Jinling Society. Got it together."

"Wan Shi." Lin Yang silently calculated that after the autumn harvest, the grain storage would be around 7000 Shi, but this was the total number, including oats for horse feed.There are nearly 1803 people in the village, 400 soldiers, 600 horses, and there will be new people. If you want to feed so many mouths and feed them for the next year's summer harvest, [-] shi, more than [-] Tens of thousands of catties of grain are just a drop in the bucket.

"Lin Bo, beans, buckwheat, rye, and spring wheat can only grow in the fields in June and July. There is still half a year to go, and there is not enough food. Try to gather as much as you can. I want as much as I want, just go to my account. .” Lin Yang said.

"My lord, I will do my best," Lin Bo replied.

"One more thing." Lin Yang said, "I want to expand the army now, but there is a shortage of strong men. Is there any way for Lin Bo to recruit some young men?"

"Master, you want to buy someone?" Lin Bo said, "I know the people in Lingzhou very well. When will you be free? Is this old man recommending you?"

"Now." Lin Yang said, "I'm in a hurry, so hurry up!"

"Understood, the old man will do it immediately, and the young master will rest for a while."

After all, the old man quit and went to work.

The chat was finally over before Zhang Cai could speak.

"What are you talking about? I hear it like a bird chirping, annoying and boring."

"Just now I spoke the dialect of Qinzhou. It's normal for you not to understand it." Lin Yang smiled, "You are from the north, and Qizhou's dialect is similar to the dialect of the same northern dialect, so you can understand it without learning the dialect." I'm not the same, if I didn't study the dialect hard, I wouldn't understand what you said, just like you can't understand the dialect of my hometown."

Zhang Cai nodded.

"I can buy ten thousand stones of grain here, enough to last for a while. I have asked the boss to collect it, but I guess it needs to be shipped from the mainland." Lin Yang said, "We need to stay here for a few days."

Zhang Cai nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.
Later, a new person came into the house, Zhang Cai looked away, and saw that the person was covered in philistines, and there was an uncontrollable temper in his actions.

[Where did Poppi come from? 】

"See Master Zhizhai."

Lin Yang squinted at him: "Are you Yalang?"

Before he could answer, Lin Yang went on to say, "I want to buy someone. I want a good guy who is 89 years old. He is not allowed to have any disabilities or mental illnesses. The stronger the better, how many young men like this do you have? How much is a human life?"

The last sentence really made Zhang Cai look sideways.

"Going back to Mr. Zhizhai, two dinars for a good guy, it depends on how much you want, master. If it's too much, you still need to communicate with your neighbors. As for the price."

"I want 500 people, do you have any?" Lin Yang interrupted the casting.

Ren Yazi hesitated for a moment: "Master, please give me 3 days, and after 3 days, I will guarantee that there will be a lot."

Lin Yang didn't answer, but just waved his hand, and Ren Yazi immediately retreated.

Ren Yazi left, and when there was no one in the house, Zhang Cai said leisurely: "Human life is so cheap, it's not as good as the meal price on the second floor of the cafeteria. It's not worth 1 dinar if you think it's old, young, women and children."

Lin Yang knew what kind of urine Zhang Cai was, and she knew that she was mourning the hardships of the people's lives, but Lin Yang had no words to comfort her. The population of the empire was too large, which exceeded the load of the empire.

"At that time, you said that it cost money to recruit people. Is this the way?" Zhang Cai asked.

Lin Yang said frankly: "If there is no dental clinic, how can there be a large number of young and middle-aged people?"

"If you have money, you can buy people. It's not surprising that the empire has restrictions on you, so you hesitated at that time?"

Lin Yang still nodded frankly.

Zhang Cai said: "There are some things I don't say, but there are some things I am very opposed to. A human life is worth a meal. I can understand Yunji's helplessness. After all, there is no way to find a source of soldiers. I understand this truth, but I reserve my opinion, you just do it. If these 500 people can become soldiers, it can be regarded as the blessings they planted in their previous lives."

"It's unbelievable that you can say such a thing." Lin Yang said, "I feel that you have changed a lot. It is very different from the you when I met in the 146 dormitory. It was Lao Xiao who was in the Grassland Army."

Zhang Cai talked about a past event: "My adoptive father and I once saw refugees dying of hunger and cold. I was filled with righteous indignation, but my adoptive father was indifferent. I blamed my adoptive father for being hard-hearted. My adoptive father said that I had never seen a dead person, so I don't know what Let the bones become mountains."

"After all, I went to the battlefield, beheaded more than 5 iron men, saw dead people, and understood what it means to have mountains of bones, corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood, so I have a heart of stone."

Lin Yang said with a smile: "It's a good way out for them to be bought as slaves, because someone will raise them, so they won't starve to death, right?"

Zhang Cai also smiled: "Yes, yes, what Zhizhai said is too correct."

Human life is never worth anything, especially the lives of the lowest level untouchables!
