Chapter 114 Loose Cultivation Bazaar?
Chapter 114 Loose Cultivation Bazaar?
"Ten is the entrance fee for copper coins? Why don't you just grab it?" When passing through the largest city on the road—Linhu City, Guozi started howling the moment he entered the city.
"Hmph! If you don't want to pay, get out! Don't block the way!" The soldiers guarding the city gate were also extremely arrogant. Although Ling Xuan and Feng Jueqing looked very well dressed, there were some people in Linhu City. The Qian family has many sons and brothers, and they can't control it.
In short, they knew that in Linhu City, only the city lord was the biggest.
"Okay, Guozi, don't cause trouble." Ling Xuan had a headache, and Guozi would come forward to argue about any injustice along the way, which shows how good their tutor is, but there are many injustices in the world, and it's not just him. The fart boy can manage it.
The result is that Ling Xuan and the others always have to wipe his ass to deal with the aftermath.Ling Xuan is used to it, but Feng Jueqing's unhappiness has accumulated until now.
Ling Xuan took out a piece of broken silver from his purse and threw it to the guarding soldiers. It was enough to pay the entrance fee for the four of them, but the guarding soldier weighed the weight of the broken silver and said, "Not enough."
Ling Xuan frowned and said, "Why not enough? There must be too much."
"There are enough people. But don't you have horses?" The soldiers guarding the city glanced at Ling Xuan and Feng Jueqing's thunder cavalry, and said: "The city lord said that not only the poll tax, but also the Horse head tax. A horse costs five cents, and you two big horses and two small horses count as three, fifteen cents!"
"Hey! I..." Guozi almost jumped up. I have never seen such a tax collector, but Jiang Bing grabbed her tightly and covered her mouth, so she didn't yell.
Ling Xuan also felt upset, but he could still bear it. He took out the silver and threw it to the military vehicle, and asked coldly, "Does the goods have to pay taxes when they enter the city?"
"That's right! You have to pay for each truckload of goods! But you've paid the entry fee, go in quickly!" The soldiers waved their hands impatiently, telling Ling Xuan and the others to enter the city quickly.
Walking into the city, Linhu City is still quite prosperous, but Guozi is unhappy.
"What's the matter? Still thinking about the entrance fee?" Ling Xuan knew what he was thinking, so he asked with a smile.
"Of course! How can there be such a tax collector? This... this... What is Jiang Bing's name?" Guozi suddenly couldn't remember how to say that word, and hurriedly asked Fa Xiao beside him.
"Excessive taxation and miscellaneous taxes." Jiang Bing looked at the homework and answered quickly, with Yuzheng's round accent and a little accent.
"That's right! Excessive taxation! My father said that it is normal to search the city, but if you have to pay taxes even when you enter the city, it will only scare away some people who originally wanted to come, and tax the goods. Then..." Guozi frowned tightly, stammering.
"In order to earn back the taxes, businessmen will increase the prices of commodities, which will lead to an increase in the overall price. The most common result is that the consumption power of this area will be lost to the outside world." Ling Xuan took the fruit, after all, it was for sales Yes, these basic economic laws are still very clear.
"That's right! That's what my mother said." Jiang Bing was surprised, and even clapped his hands. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said embarrassedly: "My mother is the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, so... ..."
Ling Xuan showed a clear look, looked at the silent Feng Jueqing, and said, "What's wrong?"
"What is the city lord trying to do by collecting such a high tax? Since he can become the city lord, he should be very pleased with the consequences of extortion by Chu Heng, right?" Feng Jueqing frowned slightly, seemingly not paying attention, but thought of something very deep.
"Generally speaking, they want to raise a large amount of funds in a short period of time, and it's urgent. It should be to exchange money for something." Ling Xuan thought for a while and replied.
"Could it be because of that..." Feng Jueqing murmured to himself, looking at the big blue lake beside Linhu City.
"What?" Ling Xuan didn't understand what Feng Jueqing wanted to say.
"It's nothing. I'm not sure, I'll tell you when I'm sure." Feng Jueqing smiled lightly, looked away, and said: "Let's think about where we will stay first. I feel a little uncomfortable with this dusty body."
"Okay." Ling Xuan's doubts were not solved, but he still believed in Feng Jueqing, so he found a good-looking inn to stay.
As soon as he stopped, Feng Jueqing disappeared, and he came back after more than an hour, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Sure enough, I don't know what to do." Back in the room, Feng Jueqing said to Ling Xuan, "Xuan, there is a market for casual cultivators here."
"Loose cultivator?" Ling Xuan still had a half-knowledge of things in the realm of comprehension, but casual cultivators still understood.Those cultivators who practice alone without a sect, most of them are because their qualifications do not meet the minimum requirements of the sect's income, and some are rebellious and do not want to be restricted by the sect.
There are very few cultivators with profound mana among casual cultivators, but the number of casual cultivators far exceeds that of sect cultivators. They are scattered in every corner of the continent and have their own social order.But there seems to be a big gap with the cultivators in the sect, so neither side knows each other well.
As for the casual cultivator market, casual cultivators themselves are the next time and place to trade some things on hand, and exchange useless things for things that are beneficial to their own cultivation.This is very common in the world of casual cultivators, but for practitioners in their sect, most of the cultivation costs can be exchanged from the sect, and the things in the casual cultivator market are mixed, so for the casual cultivator market, generally Cultivators of sects won't care.
Cultivators of Feng Jueqing's level don't even care about it. The Promise Demon Sect will do its best to get him what he wants.
But Ling Xuan is interested!Very interested!That look is enough to make people understand what he wants to do.
"I want to go!" Ling Xuan said bluntly, and Feng Jueqing nodded without hesitation. It was because of this intention that he ran to have a look. The environment was not bad, and he didn't find any danger, so he I just came back and mentioned this to Ling Xuan.
"Then tonight?" Ling Xuan asked immediately, but after thinking about it, he said, "Could it be that the city lord suddenly made a fortune for this?"
"It's possible." Feng Jueqing said, "This market started a month ago, and Linhu City's sudden increase in taxes also started at that time."
"That is to say, the city lord wants to buy something from the market, and the price there is too high, so he just keeps making money?" Ling Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter what we do , let’s go! Let’s go to Linhu City first.”
"Okay." Feng Jueqing seldom objected to Ling Xuan's opinion.And this is also a good opportunity, how rare is it to be able to leave those two super light bulbs and be alone with Ling Xuan?
The two left hand in hand, so they didn't find out that the two little kids were plotting something serious here.
"Jiang Bing! I've decided!" Guozi suddenly said to Jiang Bing, completely ignoring the sudden change in his facial expression.
MD grows up so big, the most fearful thing is to hear Guozi say "I've decided". It's definitely not a good thing!
"What do you decide, you decide?" Jiang Bing stood up abruptly, with a great reaction, the big one made Guozi feel a little strange.
"What's the matter? Listen to me first! I decided to learn from the knight-errants in the story book and go steal the rich and give to the poor! You see, the city lord extorted money, there must be a lot of people in the family! Let's steal those people out quietly, Then give it back to the common people..." Guozi fell into the grand blueprint he had drawn, but was startled by Jiang Bing's sudden slap on the table.
"What's the matter?" Guozi was frightened and asked dully.
"Guozi! There are some things I've wanted to tell you for a long time!" Jiang Bing broke out, and after enduring so much along the way, he still had to speak.
"Do you think we are still in the Liang Kingdom? You can do whatever you want, and your father will wipe your ass for you?" Jiang Bing said loudly, his tone a bit aggressive.
"Jiang Bing! What do you mean by that?" Guo Zi was not happy anymore, his temper was relatively irritable, he would do whatever he wanted, and no one else could tell him.
"If you don't want to, I won't force you to go with me! At worst, I'll go by myself!" After finishing speaking, Guo Zi opened the door and left!Jiang Bing was in a fit of anger, and thought that Guo Zi was just angry, so he didn't catch up.
In the street market, Ling Xuan and Feng Jueqing were admiring the customs of Linhu City.It has to be said that Linhu City is quite prosperous. Even though the tax is so heavy, there are still shops, merchants and mules and horses carrying goods everywhere.
Walking into a store, Ling Xuan was almost dazzled by the dazzling array of treasures.It turns out that this is a shop selling all kinds of rare things. The name is very domineering, and it is called Treasure Pavilion.
As a shop in the world, the things inside are indeed very precious, even one by one low-level magic weapon can be seen, although it is not in the eyes of Feng Jueqing, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already very extraordinary.
"Oh? It's a real South Sea pearl." Feng Jueqing saw the plum-sized white pearl placed on the silk cushion, and sighed: "Although it is not as good as the Yuehua Pearl produced in the Dragon Palace, it is already a pearl in the secular world. It's an incredible size."
"Wow! It's so big!" Ling Xuan glanced at the big and round pearl, and wondered how much such a big thing should sell in his world.I was still thinking about it, when I heard an extremely arrogant voice behind me... "Boss! Is the South Sea pearl in this young man still there?"
