Chapter 1423 Are you willing to eat me, a bumpkin?

While frying fish nuggets, Qiao Xiaomai talked to an old fisherman beside him, "I see that there are quite a lot of things caught in the sea. Why do you live in such poverty?"

"The tax is heavy." The old fisherman's complexion is brown and full of wrinkles, which are the traces of a heavy life.

He spoke non-standard Mandarin, which Qiao Mai could barely understand.

She turned her head to look at Yang Ye.

Yang Ye blinked and swallowed the fish in his mouth, "Duan's family messed it up, you pay taxes yourself, and you know whether the taxes are heavy or not."

"You didn't notice it when you came to Yupu last time?" Qiao Maimai was surprised.

"I didn't find it." Yang Ye searched his memory and shook his head, "Someone came out to complain, but it's not outstanding compared to other places."

Thinking of the situation at Duan's house that day, he couldn't help but pooh on the ground.

The less flaws there are, the more it can prove that the Duan family is terrible. This is the real one-handed cover-up!

Earth emperor!
Qiao Xiaomai was also in a complicated mood at the moment, she looked at the old fisherman beside her, and comforted him a few words.

She was talking with the old fisherman while she was doing things, and when the conversation was over, she couldn't help feeling sad.

The poverty of the people in Yupu is not just due to heavy taxes. There are many hills here, and the planting area is small. Those who rely on the hills eat the hills, and those who rely on the sea eat the sea.

The hills can't produce anything, and there are many kinds of poisonous flowers, weeds and poisonous substances here, and if you are not careful, you will die.

It is not easy for those who live near the sea. The technical conditions here are backward. Fishermen dare not go to the deep sea when they go out to sea to fish. They only dare to fish in the shallow sea. As for the harvest, it all depends on luck.

The Barrens.

A true barren land.

It is really difficult to improve the lives of the people here.

After a big meal, Qiao Mai gave some silver to the fishermen, and then she wandered along the seashore.

Tong Sanlang followed her, and twenty handsome men followed behind her.

It was already evening at this time, and the sea breeze was blowing. Qiao Xiaomai let the people behind her move freely, so she had to think about it.

The people behind dispersed, and Qiao Xiaomai put his hands behind his back and looked towards the sea.

The setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky and the surface of the sea in a beautiful orange color, so beautiful, but she couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, roads should be built first." Tong Sanlang said, "Without roads, even if there are things in Yupu, they can't be transported."

Qiao Xiaomai hummed when she heard this, she had exactly the same intention.

Yang Wenxiao should first let Yang Wenxiao build the official road from Yupu to the capital. This time she came to Yupu, she can see how bad the ancient official road really is.

Just this is still done every year. If it is not done, it is unimaginable.

"Didn't you mention kelp and seaweed before? If these two things are planted artificially, they should increase the income of the people, right?"

Qiao Mai hummed again.

"Then what are you worried about?" Tong Sanlang couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai gave him a sideways glance, "Isn't it okay to understand life?"

Can't she be sad and sentimental for a while?
She's also very emotional.

Tong Sanlang has gotten used to being choked for a while, and said, "Of course."

He looked at the sea in front of him as he spoke, and sighed, "It would be great if there was a camera. This beautiful scenery should be photographed, so that we can see it when we go home."

"I'm tired of watching it a long time ago, and it's rare for a country bumpkin like you who hasn't seen the sea a few times." Qiao Xiaomai lashed out mercilessly.

Tong Sanlang smiled, "I am a bumpkin, would you like to eat it?"
