I am a snake, so it makes sense to teach a group of demons, right?

The moon is cold and starry.

Lights of all homes.

After returning to Lingshi County, Cao Gang sent Bai Willow and Ten Catchers home and came to Crouching Tiger Alley alone.

Glancing at the high hanging plaque that read ‘Chen Mansion’ on it, Cao Gang carefully patted some dust off his clothes.

After confirming that he was neatly dressed, Cao Gang only stepped forward two steps and gently knocked on the vermilion gate.

Soon, with a crunch, the door was pulled open through a crack, and an old face popped out.

“It’s so late, who should I be, it turns out to be Cao Huntou.”

Cao Gang arched his hand at the old man and said, “Butler Wang, I have an urgent matter to see Lord Chen, please let me know.”

“Wait a minute.”

After a blaze of incense kung fu.

Cao Gang entered the Chen Mansion, walked through the corridor of the nine-curved and eighteen-ring corridor of the mansion, and came to the back garden.

What caught Cao Gang’s eyes was an extremely strange and absurd picture.

But I saw a man in brocade clothes and jade clothes, wide and fat, white and delicate skin like a baby, about fifty years old, holding a jade dry smoke pole in his left hand to spit clouds and mist, and holding three dog leashes in his right hand.

It was not the dog that was bound by the leash, but three women.

Three women who were not an inch away, on all fours, crawling slowly with the man.

The oldest one, about two decades old, and the youngest one, is fifteen or sixteen years old.

Cao Gang recognized that these three women were the twenty-fourth, twenty-fifth, and twenty-sixth concubines of Lord Chen Chong.

Plop.

Cao Gang suddenly fell to his knees, his eyes closed at the same time, and his forehead slammed heavily on the hard cobblestone ground.

At the same time, the hands exert strength, and the nails almost want to be embedded in the ground.

His voice was hoarse and trembling, and he said, “I don’t know that the lord and the three ladies are here to enjoy the moon, and they are extremely reckless, please ask the adult to peel off the eyes of the humble position!” The

man said coldly: “But three beasts, what about you?” Get up.

Cao Gang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, got up, and respectfully said to the man, “Master Xie.”

“I just had dinner and couldn’t get enough food, so I wanted to go out for a walk.”

“What about you? It’s dark, don’t stay at home to accompany my wife and child, what do you do here? Is there anything that can’t be said tomorrow? The

man asked expressionlessly.

Cao Gang said softly, “Sir, I met a fifteen-year-old boy today. ”

Looking at its majestic qi and blood, his cultivation is at least six grades.”

“His sword technique and sword intent are super awe-inspiring, even if they are despicable in their duties, they are terrified, and they have only seen it in their lives.”

“If the adult can recruit his subordinates, he will soon be able to obtain a supreme master of the Fallen Sea Realm.”

The man frowned, “Falling Sea Realm? Is it awesome?

Cao Gang said in a deep voice: “Great Wei Kingdom, a product of the sea realm is only a palm, quite powerful. ”

Oh~”

The man’s eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

“Cao Gang.”

“Obey the order!”

“Go and bring this boy to me, no matter what the cost.”

Cao Gang said with a solemn expression: “Humble duty obeys orders~”

….

Following.

Sky lead gray.

A thin layer of frost fell on the ground, and the cold breath drilled into the cracks of human bones.

Xizhuang Village.

In the crunch, the door of the Lan family’s courtyard was pushed open, and the young man carried a bucket with one hand and a bucket in the other, exhaled white breath, and walked towards the well at the end of the village.

“A Fei~”

A call suddenly sounded behind him, and the young man turned back sharply.

“Cao… Eldest brother?! ”

This big brother, Le Cao Gang showed a mouth full of snow-white teeth, “Don’t eat yet, go, big brother will take you to eat official food today.”

Ah Fei shook his head and refused, “Don’t bother that the eldest brother has spent money for me, I have to carry water.” ”

White Willow!”

Cao Gang snorted coldly.

Not far away, with his hands in his pockets, squatting on the curb and shivering, White Willow, hurriedly trotted to the near front.

Hehe smiled and said, “Your order, my lord.”

Cao Gang said expressionlessly, “Today, you are a slave of the Lan family, and you can do whatever the Lan family asks you to do, understand?”

The white willow chicken nodded repeatedly like a rice peck.

Ah Fei’s eyebrows were full of helplessness.

……

Half an hour later.

Lingshi County County Canteen.

The long table of yellow rosewood is filled with more than a dozen carefully prepared dishes.

Mushroom simmered chicken, Dongpo meat, braised crucian carp, eight treasure porridge and so on.

For Ah Fei, who has lived for fifteen years and eats meat the number of times he eats meat, he can count it with two palms, this table of delicious dishes can only be seen in daydreams.

“Come, Ah Fei, you’re welcome, open to eat.”

Cao Gang filled a bowl of white rice for Ah Fei.

“Thank you.”

Picking up the big white bowl, Ah Fei did not pretend to twist, and directly clamped a piece of Dongpo meat that was as colored as onyx and stuffed it into his mouth.

Soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy.

Delicious on earth!

Cao Gang kept serving dishes to Ah Fei, and his face was full of a kind smile like an old father.

“Ah Fei.”

The man just screamed, and the boy immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks.

“It’s okay, you eat yours, I said mine.”

The young man shook his head, “My mother taught me that when the elders speak, they should listen carefully. ”

Elder~

Cao Gang’s smile grew, “It’s okay, you eat first, I’ll talk after eating.”

“Good.”

……

After a blaze of incense kung fu.

Fei put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his mouth.

“Brother Cao, I’m done eating, you say.”

Cao Gang took the wine cup and drank it down.

“Ah Fei, do you know how much this big table of dishes costs?”

Ah Fei pondered for a while, unsure: “Three or four taels of silver?

Cao Gang nodded and shook his head again.

“Put it in the inn outside, three or four taels of silver is about the same, but here, in the public canteen of the county office, only a copper plate is needed.”

Ah Fei was shocked: “A copper plate?!”

Cao Gang picked up the teapot and filled the teacup for the teenager.

“Fei, you should have farmed, right?”

The teenager nodded.

Cao Gang smiled and said, “Then you should know about taxes.”

“All the people of the Wei state, whether they engage in business or farm, must pay a part of their income and pay taxes.”

“Zhang San collected 30 catties of corn this year, and he must pay 10 catties in taxes to Yamen.”

“Li Chang killed a pig and obtained a total of 100 catties of pork, and he had to pay 30 catties in taxes to Yamen.”

“Wang Wujin’er’s net profit from buying vegetables is sixty copper coins, and he must pay twenty taxes to Yamen.”

“Whether it is our Wei Kingdom or other countries, there are two things in the life that cannot be escaped.”

“One is breathing, and the other is paying taxes.”

Cao Gang drank another glass of wine and continued: “A table full of big fish and meat like this, others eat it, get three taels of silver, that is, three thousand copper plates, while the public family only needs one.”

“Because the other two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine are spent on taxpayers’ money.”

“How many ordinary people can hardly maintain even the most basic two meals a day.”

“How many children, malnourished, thin yellow skin and dry bones, while the clans cook gold and jade, mountains and seafood.”

“The grain wasted in Guanglingshi County in a day can fill the stomachs of one or two thousand people.”

“If you convert it into silver, if you buy corn, you can easily fill seven or eight thousand people.”

“Now, you should know why so many people sharpen their heads and want to knock on the door of the temple.”

“Mo said that being an official, Rao is a small position of catching fast, you can pass on grandfather to son, son to grandson, from generation to generation, inheritance endlessly.”

Listening to Jun’s words, Ah Fei was stunned.

Looking at the stunned teenager, Cao Gang was very satisfied.

“Eat and eat, drink well, go, eldest brother will lead you to the Qinglou to be happy and happy.”

Cao Gang got up and greeted Ah Fei.

A middle-aged man and a teenager soon left Lingshi County.
