The bearded eyes were firm, but the man on his side was not.
Zi Xu knew that those who stayed forcibly would not be loyal: "Let him go."
Bai Lihan nodded: "Okay."
The youth opened his mouth and said nothing.
The beard said, "We need water and food."
Bai Lihan nodded: "This is okay. One of the boats hasn't gotten the food yet,
and there is enough water. You can leave early tomorrow morning."
This time the beard stopped talking.
Zi Xu looked at the young man: "These people will be led by you in the future,
and we will build a village for you to live in.
You can usually fish, but when you need to work with you, you will be paid
separately.
Also, come here tomorrow morning, I will check your health, treat those who
are sick, and feel relieved if you are not sick. "
The young man's eyes lit up and he translated Zi Xu's words. Those people were
very happy.
Bai Lihan smiled and said, "I have to work hard for you again."
Zi Xu shook his head: "It's not a big deal, you can get back soon if you
settle down.
But I didn't expect that early the next morning, there were more people left,
and the beard finally took away only a dozen strong men.
When it was time to sail the boat, Bearded was embarrassed.
Because a large boat requires sixteen crew members to row together.
Zi Xu asked curiously: "Why do you have to live at sea? Are you looking for
any treasure?"
The bearded man was frustrated when he saw that he could not go.
"With so many islands, there will always be places where you can be
unconstrained."
Zi Xu nodded: "That's true, but have you ever thought that if the ethnic group
is small, future generations will have problems.
It won’t take long for the entire ethnic group to perish! "
The beard looked at her, his tongue was a little hard, and he probably learned
the language here for a while.
"I just don't like being called around at any time."
Zi Xu laughed: "Do you think that officials are very idle? Are you okay to run
around in the village to drink?
You think too much, the villagers in our country are very free, as long as
they don't touch the law, they can do whatever they want. "
"I hate the rules." The bearded boy was rare.
Zi Xu laughed: "Do you want to kill or set fire? Or do you have bad habits
such as stealing and beating?"
"No, I wouldn't be like this!"
Zi Xu nodded: "There are none of these, so what are you worried about?
The law does not restrict one person, it restricts everyone.
As long as you don't touch that line, people are free! "
The beard looked at her: "Then you won't take it back after I cultivated the
field? I won't take it away if I fish too much?
Zi Xu shook his head: "Of course not. There is a land tax for farming and a
fish tax for fishing, as long as the prescribed amount is paid.
For example, if you caught a hundred fishes, two taxes are not demanding,
right? "
The beard thought for a while: "Won't take most of it?"
Zi Xu asked: "Who did you hear that would take so much?"
The bearded scratched his head: "Some crew members from other countries said
that your country's taxes are very heavy.
For example, if you fish a hundred fish, you will take eighty fish. "
Zi Xu looked at Bai Lihan: "Is it so heavy?"
Bai Lihan shook his head: "It has never happened before. Now the country is
unstable, but there is no such situation. I remember that the most brutal
emperor in history collected taxes only half, and it did not reach 80%."
Embarrassment appeared on the bearded face.
Bai Lihan smiled and said, "It is not free to build your village. Your ships
must be confiscated.
Usually you don’t need such a big boat for fishing. When the shipyard here is
decided, you will all work in the shipyard.
Those who get paid and are willing to go fishing later will be allocated a
boat according to the distance and the number of people. "
The beard scratched his head again, and he looked at the men.
They talked a lot.
Excitement appeared on the faces of several men.
The bearded asked: "Then can we marry the wife here?"
Bai Lihan nodded: "Of course you can, but you are new here, and language is a
barrier.
Need to learn the language here, and also need to accumulate wealth.
All the girls here want a bride price. The higher the bride price, the more
beautiful the lady. "
With that, he pointed to Zi Xu and asked, "Is it pretty?"
The beard looked carefully and nodded: "Pretty."
Bai Lihan said triumphantly: "This was decided by my bankruptcy. I haven't
agreed to marry me yet."
The bearded man looked at Zi Xu in surprise, his face full of anxiety.
Zi Xu sneered: "He is teasing you. The beauties of ordinary girls here range
from ten taels to hundreds of taels.
There are also cheaper ones, which are average-looking.
Like me... I advise you not to marry, because your fingers do not touch the
sun, and you will be an ancestor when you marry.
Look at him, he must marry me. Now he has to do laundry and cooking, but he
has no children, or he has to take children. "
The beard was really scared: "I don't want to be so beautiful, just a normal
woman."
The men nodded after hearing the translation.
Zi Xu felt that they were most worried about not getting a wife.
Bai Lihan pondered for a moment: "Well, I will choose a place to build a large
village, and merge the surrounding small villages.
At that time they will also get married. "
Zi Xu nodded: "This is fine."
Bai Lihan took her hand and walked towards the barracks: "It's windy here, you
still go back and wait for me."
Zi Xu rubbed his face, and it was really a bit dry: "Well, I will go home
tomorrow after I check on them."
There are many men in the barracks, so it is not convenient for her here.
On the second day, Zixu helped those people check, and after prescribing some
medicine, he returned to the seafood restaurant, and was surrounded by a group
of women as soon as he entered the door.
The leader was that Li Yingying: "Zixu, you are so powerful, you can actually
let Young Master Yu help you out and get beaten."
The corner of Zi Xu's mouth twitched: "But he didn't spend money on me."
Li Yingying said: "That person is so cute and cherishes feathers. It is harder
to beat you than to pay for his money. Today we are here to give you prizes."
Zi Xu was not welcome, and took a small box from Li Yingying: "I can't let you
spend your money in vain. Just order whatever you want. I'll treat you."
"Okay, I want a big crab."
"I want tongs shrimp!"
A group of girls happily went to order.
Li Yingying smiled and said: "Then you are going to lose. Our prize may not be
enough for a meal."
Zi Xu waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I can afford this little money."
Li Yingying smiled: "Okay, I will also go and order my favorite food!"
Zi Xu smiled and suddenly felt that the young girl was really energetic and so
cute.
She collected things and chose eight jade hairpins of different colors. This
is a series of flower buds with different colors and buds.
Eight girls and Zi Xu were sitting at the largest table in the hall.
Talking and laughing is so lively.
Zi Xu sighed that the folk customs here are open, and if you move to the
capital, you will definitely be said to be uneducated. In fact, this is the
best way.
While eating, a sharp voice came.
"You are actually sitting at a table with a lowly person, it's really like
gathering together!"
