After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 34 Toxic
This is not the first day that Lao Jiao and his colleague have come out to collect taxes and grain.

In the past half month, they have visited more than 20 mountain villages in the northern part of Shanyang City.

No matter which village they arrived at, the villagers would cry out for mercy and try every means to evade the tax and grain collection when they mentioned it.

Without exception, without exception, in the year of severe drought, even some landlords' families are almost borrowed by the government and have no surplus grain. What do you ask these ordinary farmers to do?
But now, after the village chief, who was usually extremely poor, heard what he said about taxing grain, the village chief actually agreed directly, and the villagers did not have any refutation.

Such an abrupt performance formed a sharp contrast with other villages. This contrast immediately made Lao Jiao feel a little uncomfortable.

Immediately afterwards, the village chief actually proposed to treat the two of him to dinner?
It’s so exciting!

If this was done in previous years when there were no disasters and the harvest was good, it would be okay to say that it was just to curry favor with the officials.

But now that most of the people in Kaoshan Village have fled due to drought, do they still have enough food to feed themselves?And there’s meat?
Lao Jiao heard with his own ears that people in the surrounding villages told him that Kaoshan Village was the worst, and they couldn't even drink water.

The Yamen Li has also made statistics before, and the population loss in Kaoshan Village is the most serious. It has lost half of its people a month ago.

Under such circumstances, do they still have the heart to treat themselves to a meal with enthusiasm?
If they were really so rich in food, would the villagers who were fleeing the famine leave their homes and run out in search of a way to survive?

Something is wrong, there is definitely something wrong with this!

What are they going to do?
Rebellion and killing officials?Flag sacrifice?Just in time for my two unlucky guys to catch up!
Lao Jiao couldn't help but tighten the knife in his hand, but soon gave up.

There is absolutely no way.Even if you resist, it will definitely be an egg against a stone!
Lao Jiao and the other two glanced at the dozen or so bright silver guns that shone with cold light, and followed Li Kanshan over cautiously.

Then, I saw a villager actually bringing over two steaming bowls of braised noodles.

Is this... really some food?
Are there really two pieces of bacon as big as copper coins on it?

Boy, I really can’t resist this scent!My family of six has not smelled meat for several days!

Lao Jiao was still fighting fiercely in his heart when he saw another villager walking over holding a juicy blue-red fruit.

"My lords, this is the dandelion fruit we happened to come across on the way here. It's fresh. You two should try it quickly."

When Lao Jiao and Lao Jiao saw the Dan Liguo, the secretion of saliva in their mouths immediately increased.

I had no choice but to eat a dry pancake after being hungry all night. I didn’t even have to drink water. I couldn’t bear it anymore.

Moreover, in the year of severe drought, the price of top-quality fruits such as Danliguo soared, but he had not eaten it for a long time.

Lao Jiao was swallowing his saliva and hesitating when he saw that his young colleague had already taken the handful of dandelions regardless and began to eat them while peeling them.

"Eat, Lao Jiao, even if you are slaughtered, it is better to be a dead man who is full than a dead man who is hungry." The colleague muttered softly.

Lao Jiao sighed, this is really the truth.

That’s it, let’s eat quickly!What else can be done?

As soon as Lao Jiao picked up the noodles with his chopsticks, he felt his companion next to him suddenly startled. Then, the guard suddenly rolled his eyes and fell back.

what's the situation?poisonous!

Lao Jiao was immediately shocked!

His whole body shivered and he suddenly sat down on the ground.

……

Xu Boan has always been paying attention to the abnormal changes in the bonsai.

When the two guards revealed their identities, Xu Bo'an also instantly understood.

It turns out that the piece of imperial green material in his hand is the waist badge of that young villain!
I bet these two villains are not old, weak, sick or disabled villagers who can’t walk, but government officials who come to collect taxes!
However, this government is too rich to use a top-quality jadeite like imperial green as a waist badge?
I heard Li Qingshi say before that this place has been suffering from drought for several years, and it has reached a dire situation where people are living in dire straits and have left their homes. How can the government still be so rich?

This is a bit too luxurious!

Normally, shouldn't this luxury item be exchanged for some food for disaster relief to help the people tide over the difficulties?I really don’t know what these officials in Da Jing Dynasty were thinking!

Xu Boyan was about to scold the dog officer in his heart, but suddenly he heard the officer say with a grimace, "It takes fifty copper coins to replace a waist badge."

Lao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Fifty copper coins in exchange for an imperial green waist badge?
Although Xu Bo'an didn't know the purchasing power in the bonsai world, under normal circumstances, fifty copper coins shouldn't be too much.

If this is really the case, doesn’t it mean that although the great Jing Dynasty in the bonsai world is short of money, it is not short of imperial green!
In other words, the imperial green in the bonsai world is not valuable at all!

Everyone understands the principle of "rare things are valuable". The reason why jadeite like Imperial Green is so expensive is because it is so rare.

In the same way, since Da Jingchao in the bonsai world can use imperial green jade as a waist badge, doesn't this mean that this thing can be found everywhere?

When Xu Bo'an figured this out, he suddenly became excited.

This is definitely the way to make a fortune.

Buy a batch of imperial green jadeite at a low price and sell it, which is a net profit of millions!

The coal bosses in Hedong Province next door would be so jealous if they found out about this price difference!

Xu Bo'an was happily thinking about his road to riches, when suddenly he saw the young guard fainting to the ground with a "bang".

The group of little people in the bonsai suddenly panicked.

"what 's wrong?"

"Ah, what's wrong with this guy?"

"Oh, what's going on? I'm choking on food, right?"

The officer surnamed Jiao even exaggeratedly shouted: "Folks, have mercy on me. I have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. It is helpless to come here to collect taxes and grains. We all have tens of millions of people." Don’t make things difficult for me, a temporary worker.”

However, no one paid any attention to him at all. A group of people surrounded the officer who was lying on the ground, asking for advice.

"This is not choking. If it is choking, it is impossible to pass out directly. You have to struggle and move around."

"That's right, my Shuanzhu choked when eating jujubes before, but it's not like this."

"Call the doctor quickly."

"The nearest doctor is over there in Xishan Town. It takes a whole day to go back and forth. Is it too late?"

"What should we do? Something happened to the official master here. This is a big trouble."

A group of people were chattering away, but Xu Boan stared at the bunch of red "dan li fruits" with frowning eyebrows, thinking of a similar situation that had happened on the construction site before.

When Xu Boan was working on an old city renovation project, one morning the canteen bought fresh lychees for lunch.

A colleague in the laboratory at the construction site saw the vegetable truck unloading and took a bunch of lychees to eat before eating. After eating more than 20 lychees, his face turned pale and he fainted.

Fortunately, there was a hospital next to the project department at that time, so we were immediately sent to the emergency room.

The doctor diagnosed that the experimenter fainted due to hypoglycemia caused by eating too many lychees on an empty stomach.

At that time, Xu Boan only knew about the unheard-of disease "lychee disease".

As for the so-called "dan lychee" that the guard just ate, Xu Bo'an recognized it at a glance. It was the lychee commonly seen in the market!

That's right, it's the lychee that "rides the red dust and the concubine laughs, no one knows it's lychee"!
