As the old villager spread the news throughout the Yang Family Residence, all the villagers of the Yang Family Residence were naturally grateful and respectful towards Bai Yi and the others.
Bai Yi and the soldiers from the Dragon Country
He treated her as a savior.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with this logic because Bai Yi and the others were indeed their saviors.
If it wasn't for Bai Yi and the others capturing the zombies.
afraid
This zombie would continue to tyrannize around the Yang Family Residence and continue to harm the people here.
If this zombie were to harm the entire Yang Family Residence…
It was hard to imagine what kind of ferocious creature it would evolve into.
That was why he was said to be a savior.
It was indeed not an exaggeration.
The villagers of the Yang Family Village were very simple and honest, and at the same time, they knew how to be grateful.
Under Ol 'Muramasa's lead.
Every household.
He actually managed to gather a few hundred catties of grain, all of which were of good quality.
you know
The rice they usually ate was the kind of old rice.
A mouthful of rice might be mixed with a lot of rice worms and crushed sand.
One could imagine.
These few hundred catties of good rice.
It was definitely all the good rice in the Yang Family Residence. They had definitely put in all their effort to gather it.
A few skinny farmers were carrying a few bags of rice.
Under the guidance of the old villager, he found Bai Yi, who was wandering around the Yang Village.
"Mister White! Mister White!"
The old villager, who was walking with a walking stick, hurriedly called out to Bai Yi and the others.
"Mr. Bai, this is a token of appreciation from our village.”
"You helped us solve the zombie problem.”
"You saved us from the fire and water!”
Bai Yi did not expect this.
He had caught a zombie that was causing trouble in the Yang Family Residence, and he had even received a gift of thanks from the villagers.
However, he did not accept it.
This was because he knew very well how important these grains were to the villagers.
In order to gather a few hundred catties of food, the villagers probably spent a lot of effort.
He might have already dug out almost all of his family's assets.
Only then could they gather these grains.
under this circumstance
Why would Bai Yi want these grains?
He shook his head.
He said to the old village chief and the few farmers who were carrying rice,"Village chief, we don't lack food. I've already told you before that we're different from those warlords. We won't take a needle or a thread from the commoners. This is our principle.”
Bai Yi declined.
He looked at those skinny farmers and the stunned expressions on their faces.
He changed the topic and asked,"Village Chief, how is the harvest of your Yang Village's grain under normal circumstances?" I see that the Yang Family Village has quite a lot of farmland. Why are the villagers so thin? The grain grown from these farmlands was usually enough for the Yang Family to eat daily, right?”
The old villager was stunned.
Although the old villager was not very educated, he had lived for so long that he could still read people's expressions.
He could tell.
When Mister White said those words, he didn't lie at all.
The soldiers behind Mister White also looked righteous.
seems
He was really different from those warlords.
Moreover, he had already mentioned his principles.
Then he probably wouldn't be able to give her this thank-you gift.
The old villager was in a daze. His mood was very complicated, and his expression was also very complicated.
He had never seen such an army before.
He had never seen such a soldier.
He was so principled.
Such discipline.
They say it's a heavenly weapon
It was not an exaggeration.
The old villager smiled bitterly and replied," Mister Bai, you are an outsider. You might not know this, but the grain that we grow in the village has to be paid to Commander Niu. If a piece of farmland couldn't produce the corresponding amount of food, they would have to pay taxes to General Niu.”
"If you want to use cattle for farming, you have to pay livestock tax to General Niu. If they wanted to reclaim new farmland, they would have to pay taxes to General Niu. If they wanted to divert water for irrigation, they had to pay a water tax.”
"These taxes can be in the form of money, cloth, or grain. Our Yang Family Village doesn't have any cloth, we can only pay food.”
"In a year, 70% of the crops will be given to Commander Niu.”
"It's already very good that we can get 30%.”
"And 30% depends on Commander Niu!”
Ol 'Muramasa's tone was bitter and depressed."If I didn't have a son who became a small military officer under General Niu, I wouldn't have been able to protect 20%.”
"Under such circumstances, how can I be full? Every three months, Marshal Niu's men would come to collect taxes.”
"If anyone dares to not pay taxes, they will be shot!”
The taxes for this period.
They were all collected by warlords.
this point
Bai Yi understood.
but he did not expect
That General Niu was so crazy about collecting taxes.
Using cattle to farm had to be paid taxes.
Water for irrigation had to be paid taxes.
He was afraid that he would have to pay taxes on breathing, walking, eating, and going to the toilet.
"How do they calculate how much tax you have to pay?”
Bai Yi frowned and asked.
"Do you still need to calculate those old soldiers?" Ol 'Muramasa smiled bitterly. If we can't gather the tax for this number, we'll have to catch a few people and shoot them.”
Hearing this.
Not only was Bai Yi frowning, but even Linley and the other special forces soldiers couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Was this a warlord?
Bandits!
He looked even more like a bandit than a bandit.
these bastards
Were they going to oppress the commoners like this?
Bai Yi began to ask the old villager about General Niu.
However, Ol 'Muramasa didn't know much about Commander Niu.
The content of the answer was not very useful.
But one thing is for sure
Commander Niu.
He was not a good person.
Bai Yi had seen a piece of news before. It said that the taxes of some places during this period had already been received in 2012! He directly received the tax in advance, a hundred years later!
Yes, it was!
It was so ridiculous!
Now that he saw such a strange tax system with his own eyes, Bai Yi still felt that it was extremely ridiculous.
At this moment.
The wireless communication device beside Bai Yi's ear.
There was a sound.
"Major! Our scouts have discovered something. Please come back.”
