Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 153
"Su Lake is cooked, the world is full."

The literal meaning is very simple, the land around Taihu Lake is fertile and the produce is abundant.

"The best soldiers in the world come out of Danyang."

During the Han Dynasty, Li Ling attacked with [-] Danyang elites, and [-] Xiongnu cavalry fought against him. Shan Yu was unable to attack for a long time, and was terrified.

"This elite soldier of the Han Dynasty cannot be defeated!"

The main reason is that most of the people in Danyang are from the mountains and the mountains. Since ancient times, the folk customs are strong, brave and good at fighting.

Of course, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "a good man should not be a soldier". The reason why Danyang people fight their lives is nothing more than begging for food.

Well, the problem is coming.

On a piece of fertile and fertile land, why are there so many beggars?
There is only one truth: the greed of the feudal elite!
It is precisely because of the huge output and huge profits that they are exploited layer by layer, causing the people to lose their land and can only linger on.

Zhang Zhao has sharpened his sword for 30 years, intending to kill chickens and monkeys, and chose the landlord class in Danyang.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, politics was corrupt, and the people were in dire straits.

If the country is not doing well, the emperor is naturally the culprit, but there are almost no good things in the landlord groups that run rampant in the countryside.

As a true Confucian, Zhang Zhao hopes that the emperor will be wise and his ministers will be wise, and the world will be in harmony.

But the reality is full of smog and demons are rampant.

Then practice your life ambitions in Jiangdong and create a kingly paradise!

There are hundreds of large and small landlords in Danyang, and they have more or less benefit transfers from the powerful officials. The relationship between the two is intricate, like a huge hornet's nest.

Zhang Zhao rode a fine horse and was escorted by sergeants to the East Ten Mile Pavilion in Danyang.

Surrounded by them, he entered the city and entered the prefect's mansion.

Residents of Danyang are used to seeing the king's banner changing at the top of the city, and have no feeling for the new magistrate who is gangster.

Unexpectedly, it was three poles high in the sun, and on the square in front of the prefect's mansion, a guard erected a two-foot-high beam.

There is a red list on the pillar: whoever moves this pillar to the East Gate Tower will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars.

A bulging money bag is tied under the red list, it should be a bounty!
Among the residents of Danyang, those who have knowledge can tell the truth: Wei Yang is a standing tree, and he understands everything.

Prestige and prestige, a scoundrel without credit, even a dog would hate it, let alone prestige!

Therefore, the intention of the new prefect to imitate the sages is obvious.

Under the heavy reward, there is a brave man.

The hard-working people in Danyang City flocked to try their luck.

Unlike the three-foot-long wooden pole, the two-foot-long beam in the center of the square weighs four to five hundred catties, and few ordinary people can move it.

Several strong men stepped forward to test it one after another, but they gave up after weighing their weight.

Trying hard to move to the east gate, but it is too difficult to carry it up the gate, it is completely impossible.

Near noon, a young man driving a cart to deliver goods came in from the north gate.

Send the mountain goods to the store to collect the shipping fee, but hear the news of the new prefect "Li Mu".

Putting a hundred ten coins into his pocket, the boy drove the carriage to the square.

At this time, most of the onlookers believed that what the prefect wanted to recruit was a strong man, and ordinary people should not be ashamed.

A young man from a poor family wearing a patchwork went up, listened for a while, and then went up to read the list carefully, intending to earn some extra money.

This is enough to catch up with the wages of the first half of the year. If you don't get it, you won't get it for nothing.

Among the onlookers, someone sneered, "Baby, do you want to take this bounty too?"

The boy was confused and asked, "Can't you?"

"Hahaha!"

The crowd around the audience burst into laughter, and someone mocked: "It's just you who want to get a bounty, go dream it!"

The young man smiled slightly, pulled off the red list, and said, "I've decided on this bounty!"

Returning to the carriage after speaking, the young man untied the rope and led the pack horse to the wooden post, then quickly tied the rope to the wooden beam, and finally pushed the wooden beam down.

"Dangdang!"

Amid the dust and dust, everyone was dumbfounded.

Nima, is it okay to use a horse-drawn horse?

Someone immediately reported to the nearby guards: "Hey, this kid uses a horse."

The guard stepped forward to stop him, but the young man took out the red list and asked, "Does it say that horses cannot be used?"

The guard also couldn't make up his mind, so he immediately ran into the sheriff's mansion, returned to the square in a short while, and said, "The prefect said: You can do anything that is not prohibited by the law. Therefore, you can use horses."

"Wow!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and most of them beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting their mistakes.

If I had known it could be like this, we would also reveal the list!
Driving the pack horse, the young man leisurely dragged the wooden beam to the east gate.

Along the horse path at a [-]-degree angle on the left, the two-foot-long wooden pillar was slowly and steadily dragged up to the east gate tower by a man and a horse.

On weekdays, a horse-drawn cart can carry nearly a thousand catties of goods. At present, it is only a wooden beam, and the heavy frame is untied, and the pack horse is effortless.

Untying the rope, taking off the bulging money bag, and putting his arm around the horse's neck, the young man smiled so happily.

The guard who followed said, "Boy, you are a ghost! Come on, follow me to see the prefect."

The young man quickly put the purse into his pocket, and asked vigilantly, "Why did the eunuch want to see me? Didn't he repent?"

The guard kicked him on the butt and scolded: "You're the one who talks a lot, hurry up!"

Taishoufu, in the lobby.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy breathed calmly, his expression was extremely calm, and he didn't appear to be panicked at all.

Zhang Zhao was rather curious: "What's your name? Where are you from?"

"Back to the prefect, Xiaojiang, a grassroots man, lives in Nanshan, Qu'a (a county under the jurisdiction of Danyang), and makes a living by transporting goods."

Seeing the other party's composure, Zhang Zhao asked again: "One person transports the goods? You. Ten 56?"

"Cao Min is 16 years old and has been transporting goods alone."

You must know that the mountain people in Danyang are not good people, driving a car alone, it is too easy to kill a lot of people in any corner of the wilderness.

Zhang Zhao looked at Xiao Jiang again, and then asked kindly: "How much do you earn a month for shipping goods?"

"A lot of work, two thousand dollars, less work, a thousand dollars."

Zhang Zhao thought about it, and asked tentatively, "I'll pay two thousand a month to hire you, okay?"

Xiao Jiang shook his head, expressing his refusal.

"Not enough money?"

"Enough! It's just that my mother is still here, so it's inconvenient for Caomin to leave home to work as a hired worker."

Naturally, Zhang Zhao couldn't give up easily, and explained with a smile: "It's not a long-term employment, but to send some mountain grains and vegetables every three or two days, and the mansion will buy them at the price."

Xiao Jiang thought about it, but couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

Zhang Zhao was very happy, and asked the boy to give away whatever he saw in the mountains, fur, medicinal materials, birds and animals, exotic flowers and stones, and even rice, fruits and vegetables.

Danyang is [-] to [-] miles away from Qu'e, so you can walk back and forth on a fast day.

This means that Xiao Jiang not only has a stable income, but also has at least half a month of leisure time.

After leaving the Sheriff's Mansion, Xiao Jiang got into the carriage again.

After tidying up, he sat on the cart and shook his whip, and the pack horse pulled the owner to the north gate and ran towards Qu'a.

Soon, two horses rode out of the north gate of Danyang and followed Xiao Jiang all the way from afar.

More than ten miles out of the city, there are few people.

In front of Xiao Jiang, a bunch of thorny trees blocked the road.

Three guys with sloppy faces and malicious intentions came out of the grass, and greeted them with short knives and long sticks with a smile.

The biggest idler was the first to speak: "Baby, ask me something."

"What's the matter?"

"I lost my purse, did you see it?"

Xiao Jiang understood that this was a robbery, he took out the bulging brocade money bag from his bosom and held it in his hand.

"Brother, is this what you are asking?"

The big man's eyes lit up, he stepped forward, and grabbed the money bag.

Seeing that Xiao Jiang received the bounty, the three rogues ambushed here in advance, just to make money.

I never thought that this doll is very sensible and takes the initiative to "filial piety".

Forget it, just drive him away this time, so as not to splatter all over with blood, which stinks.

Grabbing the purse, the big man weighed it, and then stared at the pack horse and cart.

"Hey, this horse and this car, why do they look familiar?"

Everyone has grown up, so naturally they want money, horses, and cars!

The two knights looked at each other at this moment, it seemed that Xiao Jiang would have to peel off his skin even if he was not dead.

"To help?"

Another person said: "What the prefect means, just watch it."

Xiao Jiang cooperated with the clumsy performance, and said woodenly: "Does it look like you?"

Hmm, a child can be taught!

The big man scolded: "Since you know, why don't you fuck off?!"

Xiao Jiang glanced at him and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said Nenny."
