A vulgar voice sounded.
Li Qingcha raised his eyebrows and turned around subconsciously, only to find that it was the boatman of the civilian boat he was on who was shouting at a small boat, not at Gong Lianxue.
Gong Lianxue lowered her voice and teased, "Stupid Senior Brother, why do you look like a beginner?"
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
It is indeed the “Chu”, but it has nothing to do with the word “brother”.
She said, “I didn’t…”
The voice has not fallen,
"Sun, you ancestor!"
puff!
Li Qingcha immediately spit out
Following the sound, I saw a woman in her early thirties, very tough, leaning out of the boat.
"I don't have time today!"
Suddenly, the boatmen on the civilian boat burst into laughter.
Someone else started talking dirty: "Are you having your period? It's okay, just let me accompany you. I'll help you swing the pestle tomorrow."
Another face popped out from the boat. It was very young, but it looked about eight points like a middle-aged woman.
"Sun, you ancestor!"
The tone of her speech is exactly the same as that of a middle-aged woman.
Are these two a mother and daughter?
Mother and daughter bowl?
hiss……
The working people really have a life.
Sure enough, the posture is among the people.
Li Qingcha was so surprised that he even slowed down his pace.
Gong Lianxue pushed her.
"Stupid senior brother, stop looking at me. You are so beautiful... Anyway, if those two treat you as a guest... Humph! If you want to go, I won't stop you."
He said he would not stop her, but his tone was vicious, as if he wanted to dig out Li Qingcha's eyes.
"Gu..."
Li Qingcha took a few quick steps and quickly got off the boat.
The boatmen's teasing gradually died down.
Gong Lianxue, who was standing nearby, introduced: “There are many pearl divers like that on the waterway.”
Li Qingcha asked in surprise: "Picking pearls?"
Although the Grand Canal connects the northern and southern water systems, do pearl divers ever moor at the docks?
Don’t we all just find a reed marsh to rest and spend the night?
Besides, there should be more lake pearls in the south...
White silk is not allowed to ride on my sister.
Gong Lianxue said, "Stupid Senior Brother, they are pearl collectors in public, but secretly, they spend less time on pearl collectors and fishing, and more time on prostitution... that kind of business."
Li Qingcha: Stare—
Gong Lianxue: (oへo╬)
"Don't look at me like that. Do you understand martial arts experience? Martial arts experience!"
"Ah, yes, yes..."
"You! @#￥*%..."
"Hey~"
They bickered with each other while looking for a hotel to stay in.
Jiezi Bay is located in Dongshan Waterway. It is a good place for fishermen to rest and fishmongers to gather. In addition, there is a tax station here, so it has naturally developed in scale.
The streets were paved with bluestone, with wine shops and tea houses lining both sides. Hawkers walked the streets, shouting incessantly, making Li Qingcha feel as if he was in the southern part of the capital.
The two quickly chose a restaurant, ordered three side dishes, and then each asked for a bowl of fresh fish noodles.
Live by the mountain, live by the water, live by the water.
By the waterway, the dishes don’t need to be too exquisite, as long as they highlight the original taste of the ingredients - freshness.
In the words of A Bite of China: "High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods."
While eating the fish, Li Qingcha said, "Junior sister, let's talk more."
Although she played "Big Thousand Worlds", the game is a game after all, with clear task guidance, focusing on purpose rather than experience, which is completely different from the real world.
Therefore, it is inevitable to be curious.
Gong Lianxue completely misunderstood and thought that Li Qingcha was still lusting after the pearl-digger's body.
The girl gave her a cute look.
"What else is there to say? You don't feel pity... Well... That's right, as a mother, unless it is absolutely necessary, how can I let my daughter..."
As he said this, he shook his head.
Li Qingcha: ...
Why did the topic suddenly become serious?
She said helplessly: "Many things just don't make sense."
Then, he changed the subject: "To be honest, I just felt strange that pearl divers would stay overnight at the port. After all, they don't even have to pay taxes."
One-thirtieth of the commercial tax is .
On the surface, this tax rate was more encouraging to business than the modern one. However, due to too many outdated rules and regulations, the gross profit of merchants was shockingly low. They could not afford the risk at all and were worse off farming.
This has led to numerous cases of tax evasion and tax avoidance.
Items like lake pearls can be traded in cash.
Gong Lianxue is also in the business of business. Although Yue Zong's businesses are all like Yicuilou, she is familiar with the ins and outs of it.
The girl swallowed the fish and complained, "If it were me, I wouldn't hand it over either."
Afterwards, she made a "you know" expression to Li Qingcha and winked cutely.
Each sect is a big landlord.
Take the Lingyun Sect as an example. Almost all the land around Lingyun Mountain is theirs, so it is inevitable that they have committed tax evasion.
Li Qingcha immediately thought of land annexation.
"If the sect is run like this, big problems will arise sooner or later."
"Huh?" Gong Lianxue was puzzled.
"I'm not talking about the sect having a big problem, but the human race."
"why?"
"Every tax has its use. If... Well, this book is not "I, a Girl, Have a Fiancée Given by the Empress", so I won't elaborate on it."
(※ Note: I highly recommend the 360-degree spiral roll in the snow and ice)
Gong Lianxue didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.
Li Qingcha didn't expect her to understand.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
The two continued to feast on their food.
At the next table, a young man was drinking by himself.
His ears moved slightly, as if he heard the conversation between Li Qingcha and Gong Lianxue, and his eyes turned over.
Does sect management affect the human race?
This statement is quite novel.
Chapter 110: Stop fighting~
"In this world, is there anyone who dares to comment on the management of a sect?"
The sound is not very loud, but very clear.
Li Qingcha and Gong Lianxue tilted their heads.
The young man wore a tiara on his head, and his long black hair was still loose and shiny.
Her face is like a red cherry, her eyes are like autumn water, her figure is graceful...
No matter how you look at it, she's a woman.
tsk...
Li Qingcha was shocked.
The woman is so graceful and has no intention of hiding anything, so what is the point of her dressing as a man?
Is it just for the sake of convenience?
She was puzzled when Gong Lianxue beside her whispered, "Monk."
Monk?
Li Qingcha looked at Gong Lianxue.
Gong Lianxue nodded imperceptibly.
There was something she didn't say. She felt that the woman was not only a cultivator, but also a fellow disciple, because her temperament gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. However, she was not as feminine as Yue Zong, but was more casual and free-spirited.
Almost at the same time, the woman also noticed Gong Lianxue.
Their eyes met.
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere is subtle.
The woman bowed to the two men and introduced herself: "My name is Xiang Nan. I just overheard your discussion and found some of your opinions quite interesting. I was curious so I asked you."
Gong Lianxue bowed,
"Gong Xue."
Li Qingcha: ...
Do I have to use a fake name when traveling around?
"Li Cha."
The three of them looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly.
Xiang Nan is curious about Gong Lianxue and Li Qingcha.
She had met so many men, especially her fellow apprentices, all of whom wanted to win a beauty's smile. However, it was rare to find someone like Li Qingcha who would look away after just a few glances.
Is it because he has seen too many beautiful women?
Xiang Nan's eyes fell on Gong Lianxue again and he said, "Miss Gong's every frown and smile attracts attention."
Gong Lianxue replied: "You are too kind, sir."
The answer was tepid.
Xiang Nan was just complimenting casually, so of course he wouldn't get angry. He continued the topic he started with: "Brother Li just said that the management of the sect will affect the human race. Why is that?"
