Chapter 114 Heavy Taxation
half year later

Jiang Bai is already five years old
With Jiang Nannan, although she was wearing clothes full of shabby patches, she was still extremely cute.

The two have been playing together since childhood, and they are the only two playmates. Jiang Nannan likes to stick to Jiang Bai.

As for Jiang Bai, who has grown up for once, of course a cute sister like Jiang Nannan must be well protected, even though Jiang Nannan is now half a head taller than him.

Although Jiang Bai is the elder brother, Jiang Nannan has been one step ahead of Jiang Bai since childhood. Fortunately, Jiang Nannan has always been a cute little girl and never loses her temper.

This is a rare treasure. After all, when faced with naughty children in his previous life, Jiang Bai sometimes liked the cute side, but he wanted to stay away when the children acted stupidly.

Jiang Nannan is not only cute, but also very well-behaved and obedient.

Therefore, Jiang Bai and Jiang Nannan, who are still children, are also good helpers for him.

Just like today, the two of them cooperated closely and harvested a lot easily. The two of them came back carrying three soft-bone rabbits.

The rabbit is several times bigger than the one in the previous life. Fortunately, the children in Douluo Continent are also much stronger.

Jiang Bai carried two extra-large soft-bone rabbits without much difficulty, and Jiang Nannan could also carry one on her back and follow him.

It's just that luck and misfortune always come together. No one knows what price he paid for his luck.

As soon as he entered the yard, Jiang Bai saw that the ground was in a mess, and even the animal skins he had just collected this month were missing.

In addition to being sold, some of these furs are intended to be used to make clothes for Jiang Bai and Jiang Nannan.

But the disappearance of the fur is not the point. After all, who would care about the fur when the house is like this?
Jiang Bai's expression changed, then he dropped the two rabbits on his shoulders and rushed into the house in three steps at a time.

In the dim room, I saw my coughing mother sitting by the bed.

Jiang Bai stepped forward anxiously and said

"Mom, are you okay!"

Jiang Nannan followed Jiang Bai's footsteps and came to the house. Looking at her mother who was a little embarrassed, she quickly ran into her arms.

"mother"

Jiang Nannan's tears fell heavily as she comforted her mother while being comforted by her mother.

Jiang Bai's face was gloomy, with flames shooting out of his eyes. He looked at the patched but clean handkerchief in Jiang's mother's hand, which was now stained with a scarlet color.

Jiang Bai's eyes were also red. After all, his mother was bullied. How could Jiang Bai endure it?

Jiang Bai could bear this humiliation. As a person with bright red blood, Jiang Bai wanted to eat his flesh alive.

Jiang Bai said with red eyes
"What happened to mom?"

Mother Jiang stretched out her hand, gently rubbed Jiang Bai's face, and wiped away Jiang Bai's tears.

Mother Jiang smiled and coughed

"cough cough"

"fine"

"It's the tax officials from the Tianling Empire who collect taxes."

Jiang Bai said in surprise
"Didn't we just pay our taxes?"

Mother Jiang didn't say anything, she just hugged Jiang Nannan and smiled softly.

Jiang Bai stared at Jiang's mother and said
"Why did they bully mom?"

Mother Jiang sighed
"I don't want to pay more taxes. I just got kicked in the ass. I'm fine now."

"But the furs that were dried outside were taken away."

Jiang Bai looked at the blood on the handkerchief and said bitterly

"This can still be called nothing. Mom, you are just too kind."

"Wait! Dou Ling Empire, I will return this kick sooner or later."

After making some vows, Jiang Bai finally calmed down. After all, he was a weakling who had not even awakened his martial spirit. How could such a being have the qualifications to resist?

Jiang Bai thought of something. Recently, he often heard from the town that it seemed that the Dou Ling Empire was at war again.

So Jiang Baidao

"The Dou Ling Empire is at war with the Star Luo Empire again."

Mother Jiang nodded helplessly.Jiang Bai looked angry again and said

"The corrupt nobles increase taxes on our common people every time they fight. They bully me and are unable to fight back. They treat their own people like this. Sooner or later I will overthrow them."

Mother Jiang said helplessly
"Xiaobai, keep your voice down. Those guys haven't gone far yet. If they hear us, we will be in trouble."

Jiang Bai looked at his mother and sighed deeply. After all, he was still too weak.

It seems that Jiang Baidao was thinking of something
"Then how much money do we have left?"

Mother Jiang silently took out three silver soul coins and about twenty copper soul coins.

Jiang Nannan looked at the remaining money and said blankly
"Don't we still have a lot of money?"

"This money can be used to pay taxes for a long time!"

Jiang Bai looked at his silly sister and said helplessly.

"This kind of tax collection comes every now and then. No matter how much money you have, you can't survive!"

"And we are almost six years old and need to awaken our martial spirits."

"The town requires three silver soul coins to awaken the martial spirit. The two of us will awaken the martial spirit next year. If no one comes to collect taxes within a year, we still need three silver soul coins."

"But so are you, Mom. If the money is gone, we can still make more. At worst, Nannan will awaken her martial spirit first, and then I will awaken my martial spirit after making money."

Jiang Nannan's face fell instantly. She opened her mouth in shock and counted on her fingers.
"One person's awakened martial spirit is worth three silver soul coins, and my brother and I are worth six silver soul coins."

"A rabbit sells for [-] copper soul coins. It takes [-] copper soul coins to get three silver soul coins. It takes a thousand rabbits to get three silver soul coins."

"Humph"

"If my brother doesn't awaken his martial spirit, I won't awaken either."

After Jiang Nannan finished complaining, she looked pitifully and said

"Brother, why don't we eat vegetables tonight?"

"Does it take a thousand rabbits to awaken Wu?"

"Humph"

"The Spirit Empire is better"

"I heard that in the Spirit Empire, you only need one gold soul coin to awaken a spirit, and you can ask a spirit master to awaken a spirit for a village. It's much better than the Dou Ling Empire."

Jiang Bai sighed with emotion

"I heard that the Martial Spirit Empire thousands of years ago gave civilians across the continent the ability to awaken Martial Spirits for free."

"Ten thousand years ago, the Wuhun Empire not only gave soul masters free to awaken their souls, but also gave subsidies to soul masters with rings three and below."

"I heard that the subsidy is one gold coin for the first ring. It seems that the subsidy for the second ring is ten gold coins. I think there must be more for the third ring."

"It would be great if we could awaken the martial spirit for free. I heard that many people just don't have the money to awaken the martial spirit. After that, they awaken the martial spirit independently. Because they missed the best training age, their talents were wasted."

"Humph"

"When I become strong, I will overthrow the dirty rule of these nobles and establish a peaceful, beautiful and harmonious society."

Jiang Nannan clenched her fists and said

"Humph"

"I also want to help my brother fight the bad guys."

Jiang Bai rubbed Jiang Nannan's head and said
"it is good"

"Nan Nan, let's work together and build our own beautiful home."

Mother Jiang looked at the two of them without saying anything, but with a gentle smile, Mother Jiang still had a hint of helplessness.

Mother Jiang understood that nobles were deeply rooted in this world, but Mother Jiang did not undermine Jiang Bai's self-confidence.

After all, Jiang Bai has great ambitions, so Jiang Bai's growth will not be limited. After all, his body can no longer hold on for a few years.

Thinking of this, Mother Jiang tightened the bloody handkerchief in her hand.
