Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 549 He Knows Chinese! !
"I have two. If you can't finish eating, you can give it to relatives."

"Brother Sha Tian, ​​here is the deposit, please leave me ten fish first."

"Everyone, line up!! Line up!! This will be faster!!"

"...!"

The surrounding people quickly lined up in a long line, and you started buying one by one in order.

This strange phenomenon quickly attracted some unaware people, and after inquiring, some of them joined the team after learning about the announcement.

At this time, a merchant who was carrying a burden into the city hesitated for a while, and quickly made a decision, and put the goods aside, ready to sell.

"What?"

As soon as the merchants had placed their goods, a city gate soldier came over with a weapon and asked.

"Master Jun, I see that there are many people here, and I want to sell some goods so that I can make money to make ends meet! Please, Master Jun, be accommodating," the vendor said with a smile.

"No, stalls are not allowed here, please go to the market in the city, or I will confiscate all your goods according to the law!" The city gate soldier shouted.

The vendor was taken aback, but after taking another look at Miao Qing who was selling fish not far away, he refused to accept it and said, "Master Jun, why are you allowing him to sell fish there?"

"They are chartered!!" The city gate soldier said.

The merchant rolled his eyes, smiled and took out a dozen or so copper coins from his pocket, winked at the soldiers at the city gate, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, this little guy understands, this is to honor you!"

If you can sell your goods without entering the city, the merchants can not only save the entrance tax, but also save the sales tax in the market, and the crowds gathered near the city gate are no less than those in the market. If you can spend less money to achieve the same effect Of course, traders are willing to do this.

Bringing goods into the city cost ten copper coins at most, and gave a few more copper coins if you didn't need to enter the city. The traders looked confident.

However, this confident look only lasted for a moment, and the merchant realized that something was wrong. He saw the soldier holding the spear tightened suddenly, and his face turned cold in an instant.

"I'll count to three, immediately, immediately collect your money! And collect your goods!! Otherwise, I will be arrested for bribery and illegal gathering at the city gate!!"

The city gate soldiers shouted angrily.

"three!!"

"I'm sorry, Master!!"

"two!!"

The merchant was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the load, breaking into a cold sweat! !Even if he was given 1 guts, he wouldn't dare to disobey orders! !
However, the vendor still refused to accept it, and looked at the other side, Sha Tian and Miao Qing, who were selling fish happily.

"You're smart!" The guards at the city gate softened their faces slightly, and glanced at Miao Qing, "Because they can read Chinese characters and understand notices! That's why the chief gave them permission to sell fish here today!!"

After saying this, the city gate soldiers returned to their posts without looking back, like a statue again.

"Learn Chinese characters? Notice?" The vendor was stunned for a moment, and looked around, only to find that the people around him were looking at him strangely, as if they were laughing at him. With the burden, he walked to the notice.

After weighing the last fish, Miao Qing said excitedly: "Shatian, our fish is sold out, so we can go home early today, hahaha!!"

"Okay! Let's go to see the notice together! If you know the content of the notice, I believe you will not go home immediately, but will go to the city to celebrate!!" Sha Tian also said excitedly.

Nearly 20 people at the bottom of the queue still haven’t bought any fish, but it doesn’t matter, they mainly understand the content of the notice, and when they see that the fish is sold out, they rush away and go to the front of the notice.

The peddler had waited for a while before the announcement, and after listening to the conversation and understanding the reasons why everyone went to buy fish, he became more angry and said to himself: "It's not fair!! It's not fair!! The previous notice , the person who posted it will read and explain it, but this time it’s the other way around, isn’t it because they don’t understand Chinese? I won’t read it!”

The more he thought about it, the more angry the peddler was, and he was about to leave. At worst, he would not read the notice, and it would not affect his business anyway. However, he only walked away a few steps, and then retreated unwillingly, wanting to know more and more. What exactly is on the notice.

Sha Tin quickly came to the notice surrounded by the crowd.

"All New Baekje people who swear allegiance to the new Baekje King can enjoy free education if their children are between three and 15 years old!"

"Any New Baekje people who can learn Chinese and communicate in Chinese within one year, whether they were untouchables or slaves before, can be promoted to common people and enjoy all the benefits of common people. This benefit includes a strong and warm house, A woman who can marry, and at least one hectare of land!"

Sha Tin had already read the first two notices, so he read them aloud.

After hearing these two pieces of news, the people suddenly took a deep breath, and in an instant, like Shatian before, they shouted excitedly.

"Haha! This is great! As long as we serve the new Baekje King, our children can go to school without spending money!!"

"If I can learn Chinese, then I can also become a commoner? Ah...!"

Miao Qing didn't think so at first, but at this moment her eyes widened, her eyes were about to protrude, and she asked in disbelief: "Sha Tian, ​​you didn't lie to me? You mean I can have my own family and marry a wife?" Have children? Even allow children to go to school for free and learn Chinese?"

"Yes! Miao Qing, how could I lie to you? It's all true. That's what it says in the notice!!! But there's even better news later!!" Shatian said excitedly.

"Brother Sha Tian, ​​please read the following quickly!" Seeing Sha Tian stop, everyone protested anxiously, scratching their heads.

Sha Tian nodded and continued reading.

"From now on, within three years, all farmers in the New Baekje Kingdom will receive an extra double of the purchase price as long as they sell a catty of grain of each kind to the New Baekje Kingdom's treasury!"

"Anyone who can invent new technologies and actually increase food production, no matter whether they are in the field or in the court, can get double the title reward!"

"Anyone who gives birth to a blind child within a year can receive nutritional subsidies on a monthly basis until the child is three years old!"

After reading these, Sha Tian was still stunned even though he was already mentally prepared.

For the fourth article, he couldn't believe his eyes! !
"How is this possible? How is this possible? Untouchables can also get titles by growing grain? Can they also become nobles?..., I know Chinese now, and I can become a commoner immediately, and then share houses, fields and women. If I switch to growing grain , and work harder to invent new planting techniques, then I will become a nobleman?..."

Sha Tin has already begun to conceive a happy life in the future.

Somewhere, where there is fertile land, he can get a hectare of land, a warm and solid house, and then he will have a virtuous wife, and the two will live happily together, have children, eat, drink, and learn In fact, if still under his education, he can make some achievements, and become a privileged noble family, even become an official and a marquis, and confer his wife and son...!
