N-A-A Chapter 243
Chapter 243
Jiang Mu rode on a mountain path, flanked by heavy mountain peaks.
In fact, this is not a small road, but an official road, but it is really not very cultivated.
After leaving Fuyuan Town, Jiang Mu cleaned up the mountain bandits and demons that had regathered nearby.
In this way, it can also keep Fuyuan Town safe for several years, anyway, for Jiang Mu, it is just a thought that can be done, and it should be a good deed.
Then inquired about the geography of the vicinity, and Jiang Mu spent some money to buy a good horse.
This Great Zhou is the Immortal Cultivation Dynasty, where cultivators trade with spirit stones, and mortals trade with gold, silver, and copper coins.
It is not just a few gold and silver that can be used, so that those monks who can turn stones into gold can not have the unlimited wealth of mortals, the imperial court is inflationary, and the monetary system is not going to collapse?
Therefore, only the money flowing out of the treasury has value, and silver and copper coins have extraordinary forging processes, and it is difficult for ordinary monks to imitate.
But Jiang Mu was not an ordinary cultivator.
Therefore, he became a rich mortal with great shame, and bought a good horse for a huge sum of twenty taels of silver.
His current location is the southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, facing the sea, and is called Huangzhou County.
Jiang Mu didn't think about where to go, but he always wanted to go out for a walk.
He didn't want to leave the Time Mark Continent for the time being, because spending one day here was equal to two days in the outside world, which could make him improve his realm twice as fast.
It was simply a good place for a cultivator like him who had no lifespan limit.
Riding a fast horse and putting on a cloth coat, he looks like a wandering man.
It's just that now it's a year of chaos, and the official roads are full of displaced people, riding horses, neatly dressed, and walking in it looks a little different.
But fortunately, no one dared to come forward and embarrass Jiang Mu.
So I rushed with the flow for a few days and came to a city.
This is a county seat under Huangzhou County.
The high walls of the city towered, and the displaced people who came here were kept out.
Ordinary people need a permit to go to different cities, while the displaced people are mostly confiscated fields that cannot pay taxes and make a living, so it is impossible to have a pass.
And you can't enter the city without a pass.
This does have its benefits, and it can maintain law and order in the city.
And now who doesn't know that the Great Zhou is at war, just maintaining law and order in the city is the limit, where is the energy to relieve these displaced people?
There may be policies to provide relief to displaced people, but they are not necessarily in place.
Countless displaced people huddled at the foot of the city walls, hoping for some help.
Adults, with children, begged at the city gates, but were driven away by officers and soldiers.
"You homeless people, get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
The officers and soldiers stationed on both sides of the city gate waved the matching knives in their hands and said impatiently: "You are displaced people from other places, not from our Yun County, and no one will care about you!" "
Officers and soldiers, this is telling the truth.
Each place will only govern the people of the place, and the financial revenue cannot be afforded, and the counties are generally not interoperable unless the higher authorities give orders, such as accepting displaced people or something.
"We have managed Yun County very well, but there are no displaced people!"
Boastful words followed.
"There are no displaced people, but why are there mountain bandits?"
An abrupt rough male voice sounded, followed by the sound of horses' hooves coming from afar.
It can be heard that this voice contains spiritual power, and it is very loud.
In the distance, smoke and dust rise.
A man at the head, dressed in a robe and a beard, rode a horse and walked in the front, with a flag raised behind him, with four big characters written on it: "For the Way of Heaven".
"It's a mountain thief!"
"Quick! Hurry up, close the city gates! The
officers and soldiers stationed in panic immediately rushed into the city and closed the gates.
A large number of soldiers also appeared at the head of the city.
The group of thieves stopped not far from the city gate, but did not go further.
The displaced people also clinged to the city wall, terrified.
"It is better to count on these useless officials than to rely on yourself."
"Look at this city for yourselves, the rich should have money, they cannot see the sufferings of this world, it is you who are displaced, but what caused this situation?"
"It's this useless imperial dynasty, it's this corrupt official!"
"Yes, we are thieves, but we are also ten thousand times better than those officials who plunder and loot the people's fat!"
The leader was very manly, not looking at the soldiers guarding the city, only at the shivering displaced people.
"The reason why there are no displaced people in this Yun County is only because we are displaced people!"
"If the world is unfair, why don't you take up arms to seek justice for yourself?"
"Those who want to stay alive can come to us, young and old."
"I can't guarantee that you will have food and clothing, but at least you will have a bite to eat and you will not die of hunger."
After saying this, the leading man stopped talking.
At first, these displaced people looked at each other, and they couldn't believe the words of this thief.
One-sided words do not convince them.
Not to mention a bunch of thieves.
