Pity the People of the World, There Are Many Misfortunes
Li Xiuyuan walked and swam as he walked down Hui Mountain. Although his Harmonization Degree had increased a lot in Hui Mountain, he did not have much idea what to do next.
However, Li Xiuyuan was quite carefree. He thought that if he walked around more, he would naturally have an answer.
Moreover, the method of reviving the dead that he had displayed at Hui Mountain would definitely attract the covetous eyes of the world. Many people would probably come looking for him. It would save trouble if he left early.
Thus, Li Xiuyuan went down the river and arrived at Yuhang a few days later.
Since ancient times, Jiangnan had been rich and Qiantang had been prosperous.
Seeing the wine gourd stop in Jiangnan, Li Xiuyuan went with the flow and stepped into Yuhang City.
Yuhang City was brightly lit, and the sky was getting dark. There was still an endless stream of luxuriously dressed tourists on the streets. It looked like a peaceful and prosperous scene.
"Boss Liu is generous. I heard that all the girls in the Spring Brothel have been booked by Boss Liu today!”
" The son of Official Wang from the east of the city is getting married today. I heard that the extravagance..."
"Guangyuan Casino opened a new account? Hurry up and take a look!"
The officials and nobles sang and danced all their lives. On the river that passed through the city, the magnificent ships were filled with shouts and cheers.
However, Li Xiuyuan, who had sharp eyes, did not see the peaceful Yuhang City on the surface.
On the streets and alleys, many people in tattered clothes were selling their last bit of property, their children, with empty eyes!
"Sir, please do me a favor! My family's girls are obedient and obedient. Buy a few to be maids.”
"Three flatbread for a doll, buy two get one free!”
" One load of rice for one virgin girl. Please do me a favor…"
However, when those officials and nobles saw these poor people in front of them, there was no pity in their eyes. Instead, they showed disdain. Some of them even let the evil slaves open the way and punched and kicked them when they saw them!
Li Xiuyuan looked at the scene in front of him and then looked at the high-ranking officials and nobles who were singing and dancing. A trace of mockery could not help but appear on his face.
Selling sons and daughters, the common people are very difficult!
The contrasting scene in front of him was really ironic.
Not far away, a few young men dressed in brocade riding on tall horses galloped from the market. The entire market was in chaos. The peddlers who had their stalls knocked over dared not say anything and could only admit that they were unlucky.
A few more servants dragged out a half-dead man from the courtyard. The servants cursed,"Hehe, you dare not hand over the land? I'll spare your dog life today!"
Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan could not help but shake his head.
At this moment, a young man's lewd laughter suddenly sounded from the bridgehead not far away.
"Little lady, you're quite pretty, selling yourself to bury your father? Let me check the goods first?"
"I have plenty of money. If you can make me happy, I'll help you bury your father!”
Li Xiuyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl in mourning kneeling by the roadside. The tears on her face had not dried yet.
Two young foppish men dressed in luxurious clothes and holding folding fans had wretched smiles on their faces. They would even go up and touch the woman from time to time.
Li Xiuyuan snorted and staggered forward. He picked up a stone from the roadside and placed it on the fan. Then, he pointed at it and the stone turned into a gold ingot.
" Selling ancestral gold ingots, selling ancestral gold ingots!"
Li Xiuyuan held the gold ingot and flashed past the two silkpants.
With just one look, the two silkpants could no longer take their eyes off him.
"Monk, how much is this gold ingot?”
At this moment, the two silkpants no longer had the mood to continue teasing the girl. They hurriedly came forward and stared at the gold that Li Xiuyuan had conjured.
"Monk, is this gold fake?”
Li Xiuyuan chuckled." If you believe it, it's true. If you don't believe it, it's not true. If you don't believe it…you can move away!"”
When the two silkpants heard this, they immediately looked at each other. They picked up the gold ingot from Li Xiuyuan's fan and placed it in their mouths to bite it twice.
After shaking the weight again, he immediately revealed a happy expression.
"Monk, we want your gold ingot!" How much?"
"Five hundred taels of silver, not a penny less.”
"Five hundred taels?" A silkpants rolled his eyes and immediately took out 300 taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Xiuyuan's hands." I'll take 300 taels! You sly monk, this gold ingot is only worth 300 taels. Don't ask for an exorbitant price!”
With that, he threw the three hundred taels of silver to Li Xiuyuan and snatched the gold ingot.
"You, you…"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head.”
Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, the two silkpants were instantly overjoyed. However, as if they were afraid that Li Xiuyuan would go back on his word, they hurriedly took the gold ingot and jogged away.
Li Xiuyuan held the silver in his hand and looked back at the young girl kneeling on the ground with a hint of pity on his face.
"Let's go and bury our father."
On the other side, the two foppish young masters hurriedly ran through two or three streets before finally stopping.
They were afraid that Li Xiuyuan would go back on his word and cause trouble for them.
"We got a big bargain today!”
"Quick, quick, quick, take out that gold ingot and take a look!”
The two foppish sons laughed and each took out a gold ingot from his pocket.
"If we resell this, we'll earn a few times!”
Just as the two of them were feeling happy, the gold ingot in their hands suddenly changed. The luster gradually faded, and the shape also changed!
The two of them watched helplessly as the gold ingot turned into a stone!
What shocked them the most was that there was a note under the rock.
After opening the note, the two silkpants saw the crooked handwriting on it:
"Flirting with a commoner's daughter, fined 300 taels of silver? If you do it again, you'll be punished with your life!"
……
On the outskirts of Yuhang.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the dilapidated and desolate scene around him with a solemn expression.
Collapsed houses, silted moats, barren fields, and sallow, emaciated, lifeless civilians!
If he hadn't just seen it in Yuhang City, Li Xiuyuan would have thought that he had come to the wrong place.
Such a dilapidated place, or the prosperous Jiangnan that the world yearned for?
After the young woman finished burning the paper in front of her father's grave, Li Xiuyuan could not help but ask,"Young lady, how could the surroundings of Yuhang be so dilapidated?”
In Li Xiuyuan's impression, Yuhang County was located at a traffic hub and was rich in natural resources. It was a first-class rich land. Why was it so dilapidated?
The woman looked at her father's tombstone and sighed faintly."" Benefactor, you don't know this. After the Li Dynasty was established, the lords in Yuhang City began to occupy the surrounding land. Not only did they buy and sell by force, but they also killed many people. The surrounding people lost their land, and many people could not survive anymore…
If they didn't sell, they would burn their crops and let their land go to waste. My father…"
With that, the young woman began to sob again.
Li Xiuyuan's expression was solemn. After listening to the young woman's story, he roughly knew the ins and outs of the matter.
Aristocratic families and tyrants annexed land, and ordinary people were in dire straits!
Although Jiangnan, the wealthiest place in the world, looked peaceful on the surface, it had long been rotten in secret!
"Since fate has come to this point, This Penniless Monk can't just stand by and watch.”
He had traveled all the way here, and now that he had met them, it was time to save the world!
Just as Li Xiuyuan was thinking, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind!
Take pity on my people, there are many hardships!
Host has triggered a series of missions.
